Finding Love in a Movie Audition
Chapter Eleven: Chicknapping in a movie audition
"Did you just have to feel sorry for them?" Tala asked as he groaned and one more chick decided that his injured groin looked like a trampoline. "These things are insensitive, perverted BEASTS and they don't deserve to be felt sorry about! Can we please stop the car and dump them on the side of the road."
"You'll survive the chick's attentions." Rei said simply. "They just like you, that's all. It's not their fault they're not old enough to know not jump on an ice pack or a red-headed monster."
"I'm NOT a monster." Tala growled.
Rei chuckled. "I was just kidding Tala, sheesh. Don't take things so seriously." Rei purred as a chick ran up to him, tripping on the way and landing on his face only to get up again and jump on Rei and cuddle. "Aren't they just so cute Kai? I don't understand why on earth Tala hates them so much."
Kai rolled his eyes and kept his eyes on the road, refusing to comment. He was NOT going to get involved in this little argument. He had nothing to do with it unless one of those stupid chicks decided that his car looked like something to eat. Then he would take sides and those chicks would end up on the side of the road. Rei's new pets or not.
Rei sighed as Kai stayed silent. Why on earth wouldn't he just comment. Sheesh, it wasn't that hard. One word would work. Two would be better. Rei turned to look out the window of the car and watched the scenery go past at a speed that would have made him car sick at an early age.
Tala grunted again and both Kai and Rei knew that meant that another chick had joined the 'groin group'. Rei rolled his eyes, who would have guessed that the chicks would be so...uh interested in something like that. Rei shook his head. He was going to have to keep these things in a cage and make sure that they never followed him into the bathroom again. Rei shuddered. That had hurt!
"REI!" Tala growled. "If you don't get these stupid chicks off of me right now I'm going to open the window and throw them out. Whether you like it or not!"
Kai pulled over to the side of the road and got out and went to the back trunk. Tala and Rei gave each other worried looks. What was going on? Kai didn't make a habit of stopping in the middle of no where to get something out of his trunk. That meant that there was something in there that Kai was most likely going to use to shut the both of them up. With that thought Rei eeped and grabbed all the chicks to him that weren't already with Tala.
Meanwhile Kai dug in his trunk for that cage he had gotten a while ago for some weird co-worker of his. Of course, he was going to throw all of that guy's pets in there and then he was going to throw them in the river but still. Kai searched for a minute more and then found it and pulled it out. Then he walked back to his door, opened it and threw the cage in.
"You have three minutes to get those damn chicks in that damn cage. I'm going to go for a short walk to clear my head. When I get back, I want to see all the damn chicks in there and if they're not, I'll personally put them in there and I assure you that I'm not a gentle person." Kai instructed Rei and then walked off in the direction they had came from.
Rei swallowed at that. Kai was mad at them. Rei sighed and started to put chicks in the cage. He was at seven when he stopped. "Uh Tala? Where's the last chick?"
"Not back here." Tala said simply. "I gave you all of the chicks that were back here." Tala looked around. "Oh shit, what happened to it?" Tala and Rei looked at each other and then immediately started to search the whole car, trying to find that last, lost chick.
Kai walked along the side of the road, ignoring the yells of the people from the farm he was walking past. Obviously they didn't see someone like him very often. By someone like him, he meant someone that they don't know. What weirdoes, Kai thought. Kai sighed and figured that it was about time he should turn around and head back to the car, after all this was definitely long enough for Rei to get all of the eight chicks in that cage.
"Peep." Something said as Kai turned around and Kai looked down to see a single chick looking expectantly up at him. "Peep?"
Kai chuckled. "Well look whose the runaway." Kai leaned down and scooped up the chick. No matter what he had said to Rei, he was gentle to animals. It was people that need to run when Kai was in a bad mood. Kai was happy to say that he had never hurt an animal when he was having a rage attack. "We better get you back, knowing Rei, they've pulled apart my car just to find you." With that thought Kai didn't just walk back to his car, he ran.
Rei sighed. "I can't find it Tala! It's just gone. What on earth could have happened to it"" Rei looked out the window. "At least Kai isn't back yet." Rei looked in the direction that Kai had walked off in and his eyes widened. "Shit! Kai's running back here."
Tala and Rei freaked out and began to look more frantically for the missing chick. Tala even went so much into forming a mantra for it; 'here chick, here chick, here chick, here chick'.
Then all of a sudden Kai was in his side and he handed a chick over to Rei. "Here you go. This little one decided to follow me." Rei took the chick and put it in the cage and then stared dumbly in front of him. How had he missed a little chick jumping out of the car? How?
Tala just shook his head. Trust a chick to make them worry for nothing.
Kai started the car and began to drive in the direction of the town again. He wanted nothing more than to drop off his two passengers and head home. He needed an aspirin and a nap.
*****
"Anytime I need to see your face, I just close my eyes and I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola ." Rei sang along with the radio.
Kai turned to glare at Rei and Rei just slunk away. Kai sighed and turned back to the road and tapped his hands on the wheel to the song.
"HA!" Rei exclaimed. "You do like this song." Rei beamed and began to sing again. "Come stand a little bit closer, breathe in and get a little bit higher. You'll never know what hit you when I get to you."
Kai glared at Rei again and Rei didn't wince this time and just continued to sing along to the radio. Then to piss Kai off some more, Tala decided to start singing along too.
"Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you But, ooh, I'd die to find out Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you But, ooh, I'd die to find out " Both Rei and Tala were signing together at the top of their lungs.
Kai growled and looked at where he was. About five minutes from Rei's house was his guess and if he didn't get there soon enough, he was going to kill the person that was sitting next to him right now and he wasn't lying. He had enough of Rei and Tala already today, he couldn't stand another second of them and he had to continue to put up with both of them for about another five minutes and then Tala alone for another eight. Kai sighed and increased his speed. He might as well get this over with as soon as possible. No reason to torture himself.
"Hey Kai?" Rei asked as they waited at a stop light.
"What?"
"Thanks."
"For what?" Kai asked with a frown on his face. He didn't know, nor care, why Rei was thankful to him. He just wanted them to get the hell home. Then he got a flash of memory in his brain. Their cars were at the theater. "DAMNIT!"
"What? What?" Rei asked with surprise.
"I forgot your cars are at the theater." Kai made a quick turn. "Anyway...for what?"
"For going back for the chicks." Rei said simply. "I know you don't like them and that you don't want them here which is why I'm thanking you for being such a good friend and going back for them. That was very nice of you and I'm incredibly grateful."
"Good." Kai said sharply. "Cause I'm not going to ever do that again."
Rei nodded and swallowed. "Yah..."
"What's wrong Rei?"
"Ummmm...you know how we were all at the nest?"
"Yes."
"Do you remember how many chicks I said there was." Rei paused. "Or rather how many chicks you said there was?"
"Umm." Kai quickly skimmed his short term memory. "Yah, I said there was eight."
Rei took a deep breath. "Okay. Just checking."
Kai banged his head on the steering wheel. "You waited until now to tell me that we just might have left a chick back at the farm?" Kai took a deep breath. "Rei, I want to tell you how lucky you are that this car is MOVING and I can't just REACH OVER there and KILL YOU!"
Rei swallowed hard. "I'm sorry Kai. Well be happy that we have them all and that you don't have to go back to get any of them. That's got to be a relief for you. Right?"
Kai just growled. "Rei...when I let you off at your car, I don't want to see, hear or smell you or Tala for the next three days. Do you understand." Kai snorted. "Hell, the only reason I'm only making it three days is because I have to see you in three days for the next, and last, audition." Kai nodded suddenly and sped into the parking lot. "All right here you are. OUT! Don't forget the chicks and have a great day."
Rei and Tala hopped out and Kai then sped off. Little did he realize that he had the chicks still in his possession.
*****
"He's got my chicks." Rei sighed and then kicked a can as they waited for Aurora to walk over here so that she could drive Tala home since Tala was in no state to do so himself.
Tala rolled his eyes. "And well, it's not like Kai's going to do anything to the chicks. He's not that mean. Hell, he'll probably realize that he has them and then turn around and run them right back to you. He doesn't want them."
"Yeah, but he said that he doesn't want to see us again for three days." Rei sighed. "I don't know if he's going to break that for a bunch of chicks. And he doesn't know how to take care of them and besides-" Rei covered his face with his hands. "HE'S NOT THEIR MOTHER!"
Tala chuckled. "Yeah well, can you imagine Kai trying to be a mother."
Rei started snickering at that thought. "Most definitely not." With that Rei stopped snickering. "Which means that he's not going to do very good with taking care of them." Rei grabbed Tala's shirt and shook him. "TALA! I need to get my chicks back! I need them back RIGHT NOW!" Rei began to sob.
Tala took a deep breath. "Um it's okay Rei." Tala put an unsure arm around Rei. "They'll be fine."
Rei heaved in a breath and then threw himself into Tala's arms. "What if they're not?"
Tala blinked as Rei cried. 'Um...I don't know....Um..." Tala looked around. Right about now it would be great for Aurora to show up. She was a girl. She knew how to deal with this kind of stuff. Right now Tala had no idea what on earth he was doing.
"TALA! What if they die because Kai won't take care of them properly?" Rei asked between tears as he sniveled.
Tala sighed. "Don't worry Rei." Tala tried to find a way for this to feel less awkward to him. "Kai isn't heartless. He'll take care of them. He's not that mean." Tala took a deep breath. What on earth was he saying? In the mood Kai was in right now, Kai would probably drive to a beach and then throw the cage, and the chicks, in the ocean.
"Are you sure?"
Tala swallowed. "Yes, of course I am." Tala rolled his eyes at himself. I can't believe I'm being so stupid. False assurance is going to wreck this guy, especially if Kai does throw the chicks in the ocean.
"Tala?" A female voice called out to him. "Tala? Where on earth are you?"
"Over here." Tala called out, happy to hear the familiar, feminine voice of his girlfriend.
Rei let go of Tala and dried his eyes. "Thanks Tala."
"Your welcome." Tala said quietly and then climbed, slowly, into his car. "See you later."
"Uh huh." Rei agreed and then waved to Aurora and went to his own car.
"Come on Tala." Aurora said, looking at him. "Lets get you home."
"That's all I could ever want to do right now." Tala said with a groan as he shifted his ice pack. "God those things are painful to deal with."
"I don't even want to know, do I?" Aurora asked carefully.
"Probably not." Tala said simply. "So how is your new song coming along?"
Aurora shrugged. "You'll find out soon enough." Aurora grinned evilly.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Take it however you want Tala." Aurora said simply. "Take it anyway you want."
*****
Kai took a long drive; a very long drive. A drive so long that it took him an hour to get back to his house. Kai sighed and then took his keys out of the car and sighed, the sound of the loud music was now gone. Kai had turned the music up as loud as it would go without blowing his speakers or anything and had put in a CD and just drove. It was so weird to now, an hour later, have complete and total silence.
Then all of a sudden he heard peeps.
Kai turned and looked and cursed. "FUCK!" Kai banged his head on his car. "For fuck sakes, why on earth didn't Rei take his fucking chicks with him?" Kai sighed and grabbed them, locked his car and headed into his house.
Kai threw the chicks on the couch and then sighed as they all started to peep deafeningly. For pete's sakes, did these things ever shut up. Kai didn't think for a second that if he hadn't had the music so loud that he would have been able to ignore these things for as long as he had.
"What on earth is your problem?" Kai asked, looking in on the chicks. They all looked back at him with puppy dog eyes. Kai sighed. "All right, all right, I'll let you out." Kai sighed and did so, after putting down newspaper. "Do you see this?" Kai asked the chicks. "You go to the bathroom on it. I found any bathroom business anywhere else and you're back in that cage."
The chicks blinked and then began to run around. Kai shook his head and then moved to his answering machine, figuring that there probably would be messages for him since he had been gone all day.
"Beep. You have four messages. To hear message number one press-" Kai cut the machine off by pressing the number that he knew it was going to ask for. "Message number one, recorded at eleven fifty-six am."
Krys's voice started to talk. "Heya Kai. Guess I missed you. I didn't think you were going to leave for that audition thing for another half hour. When you get back, call me so we can go out for donuts or something. Yeah, I know this sounds corny but I miss you. Talk to you soon."
"End of message one." The answering machine told him. "If you would like to listen to this message again press one, if you'd like to delete this-" Kai cut it off by pressing the number he knew meant go to the next message. "Message number two, recorded at one forty-two PM."
This time it was his grandfather's voice. "Kai? I hope you're not out with some girl when you should be working." Kai smirked, if only. That would have been easier. "Your division is being stupid Kai, I want you in there tomorrow morning taking care of it, or I will." There was a click.
"End of message two." The answering machine told him faithfully, this time Kai just pressed the button for the next message before the machine could tell him to. "Message number three, recorded at four fourteen."
"Hey Kai." It was Krys's voice again. "I heard about Tala's incident from Leslie. Ouch. Anyway, if you're home, wanna phone me? Thanks. I have something to tell you."
"End of message three." Again Kai just pressed the button for the next message. "Message number four, recorded at six twenty-four."
"KAI?" Rei's frantic voice was on the message this time. "I left my chicks in your car. Well, rather you drove away before I could get them. Could you please, please, PLEASE bring them over to me? Thanks Kai."
Kai smirked. Why on earth would he do that? It would be much more fun to just let him panic for the next three days. Besides, it was his fault for not grabbing the chicks. With that Kai picked up the phone and dialed Krys's phone number. Rei could wait the three days, Krys couldn't.
*****
Rei stared at the phone. Literally stared at the phone. Rei was incredibly worried that Kai had just taken the chicks and decided to kill them or something. Rei winced at that thought. No, Kai wouldn't do that. Kai liked Rei. Kai was nice to Rei. There was no way in the whole wide world that Kai would just kill his chicks.
Right?
Rei stared at the phone.

Kai threw the chicks on the couch and then sighed as they all started to peep deafeningly. For pete's sakes, did these things ever shut up. Kai didn't think for a second that if he hadn't had the music so loud that he would have been able to ignore these things for as long as he had.
"What on earth is your problem?" Kai asked, looking in on the chicks. They all looked back at him with puppy dog eyes. Kai sighed. "All right, all right, I'll let you out." Kai sighed and did so, after putting down newspaper. "Do you see this?" Kai asked the chicks. "You go to the bathroom on it. I found any bathroom business anywhere else and you're back in that cage."
The chicks blinked and then began to run around. Kai shook his head and then moved to his answering machine, figuring that there probably would be messages for him since he had been gone all day.
"Beep. You have four messages. To hear message number one press-" Kai cut the machine off by pressing the number that he knew it was going to ask for. "Message number one, recorded at eleven fifty-six am."
Krys's voice started to talk. "Heya Kai. Guess I missed you. I didn't think you were going to leave for that audition thing for another half hour. When you get back, call me so we can go out for donuts or something. Yeah, I know this sounds corny but I miss you. Talk to you soon."
"End of message one." The answering machine told him. "If you would like to listen to this message again press one, if you'd like to delete this-" Kai cut it off by pressing the number he knew meant go to the next message. "Message number two, recorded at one forty-two PM."
This time it was his grandfather's voice. "Kai? I hope you're not out with some girl when you should be working." Kai smirked, if only. That would have been easier. "Your division is being stupid Kai, I want you in there tomorrow morning taking care of it, or I will." There was a click.
"End of message two." The answering machine told him faithfully, this time Kai just pressed the button for the next message before the machine could tell him to. "Message number three, recorded at four fourteen."
"Hey Kai." It was Krys's voice again. "I heard about Tala's incident from Leslie. Ouch. Anyway, if you're home, wanna phone me? Thanks. I have something to tell you."
"End of message three." Again Kai just pressed the button for the next message. "Message number four, recorded at six twenty-four."
"KAI?" Rei's frantic voice was on the message this time. "I left my chicks in your car. Well, rather you drove away before I could get them. Could you please, please, PLEASE bring them over to me? Thanks Kai."
Kai smirked. Why on earth would he do that? It would be much more fun to just let him panic for the next three days. Besides, it was his fault for not grabbing the chicks. With that Kai picked up the phone and dialed Krys's phone number. Rei could wait the three days, Krys couldn't.
*****
Rei stared at the phone. Literally stared at the phone. Rei was incredibly worried that Kai had just taken the chicks and decided to kill them or something. Rei winced at that thought. No, Kai wouldn't do that. Kai liked Rei. Kai was nice to Rei. There was no way in the whole wide world that Kai would just kill his chicks.
Right?
Rei stared at the phone.
