Feuer Frei means fire free in German. You pronounce it 'fire-fri'
Check out your review reply in 'Feuer Frei' for more info. ^\./^!

Your right it does...but Kai is going to do a lot more than just that!
{Kit's Bit 1: Kai gets to ride a gold armored motorcycle that has
cool gadgets, like a phoenix head on the front that shoots a
flamethrower, and the side wings extended to form extremely sharp
scythes.}

And how does Dr. Moon freak you out? (And I can't believe
nobody figured out who he is yet!)

Thanks! Hopefully it stays that way!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snow fell fast yet thick down from the soft gray skies as Kai drove home

to his house beside Lake Baikal, as they were coming from Rei's doctor's

visit in Moscow, taking his personal road that winded through a pine tree

forest, the trees standing silent along the road, covering in thick snow.

"Sheesh. You can't see 3 feet in front of you in this din. Better turn up the

headlights. It's strange, though...the snow isn't normally this thick at this

time of year, and this is definitely not normal weather... but then again,

Welcome to Russia, the Land of Freaky, Cold, and Really Strange

Weather. My name is Kai, and I will be your tour guide." Hearing small

giggles from the seat next to him, he turned slightly, so out of the corner of

his dark tinted glasses he saw Rei hiding a smile behind his hand. "Well, I

see you are finally up. Did you sleep well?" "Yes." Rei answered,

yawning. "Hey Kai?" "Hm?" "What's that?" Following Rei's pointing

finger, he saw that circling in the sky a few feet away from them was a

large, black bird, which was 27 inches long with a wingspan of 3 feet

either way. The most interesting though, was that it had a collar of

hematite and twisted silver around its neck. "Strange...that seems to be a

raven, but you don't usually see those around here at all, much less this

time of the year, and especially one with a collar..." {Wait...I know I've

seen that bird somewhere before..." Kai thought to himself. "Rei, look into

the glove box and hand me the digital camera you should find in there."

Stopping the car, Kai opened his door and stood on the frozen artic ground,

the wind whipping his jacket behind him. Rising up the camera until the

raven was in his view, he zoomed in and snapped a few pictures. Pocketing

the camera, Kai got back into his car, soaked to the bone, with his two-

toned blue hair hanging down a few inches past his shoulders. Two bangs

of sapphire blue hair were hanging against his tattoos, both dark against his

pale skin. Looking himself over, he sighed, taking off his jacket, passing it

to Rei. "Hold that for a minute, would you?" "Sure." Rei was trying hard

not to blush at the sight of Kai leaning back, his tank top practically

bonded to his muscular body, in order to get a red towel from the back

seat. Settling back into his seat, Kai took off his tank top, forcing Rei to

bury his face into Kai's coat for fear of looking like an overripe tomato.

Kai, however, luckily didn't notice, and after wringing out his top, setting

It on the back seat, and drying off with the towel, he readjusted his glasses

and held out his hand for his coat. Rei, who had by now calmed down to a

slight flush, passed the coat over to Kai, who put it on, his pale skin

peeking out from dark black leather. Reaching into his pocket, Kai brought

out a measure of black ribbon, using it to tie his hair into a ponytail at the

nape of his neck. Turning to Rei with an eyebrow raised and two sapphire

bangs framing his glasses, he smirked. "What do you say to a little hyper

drive?" Rei, his fangs shown in his own grin, nodded. "Alright!" Starting

the car up again, Kai slammed down the gas pedal, shooting them down

the road off into the swirling vortex of the blizzard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~I'm sorry this is so short and un-action filled after all that time I've kept you waiting! It is more of an introductory chapter though, for the plot ~

~I made/am making some Fanart for my stories, including 'Mirage', 'Feuer Frei,' and 'Happy Birthday, Isis!', But I need somebody with a website to post it on. Is anybody willing to host my Stories and Fanart, with also any Fanart that people might submit for them?~ ^\./~?
