Chapter 9: Training Day
Kai had woken up early that morning, and was currently sitting at a table in one of his many kitchens. He hadn't had a very good sleep as he had been restless the whole night. He was still questioning himself as to why he had kissed Rei the night before, and he was also worried about Rei's health as well. (Last night when I kissed Rei, was it out of love or lust?) Kai asked himself for the tenth time that morning. (I wasn't just caught up in the moment, I kissed him because I really do care for him. But is that love?) Kai thought with a sigh. This was so frustrating to Kai. He hadn't had to deal with theses types of feelings in a long time. (Rei hasn't woken up yet, or even moved since what happened to him last night. Maybe the transformation just wasn't meant to be), Kai thought to himself miserably, running his hands through his hair. (Maybe he's...d-dead. NO! He can't be!) And with that decided Kai stood up from his seat at the table and dashed back to his bedroom, just to make sure.
When he returned to the room Rei was still in his gold coffin, sleeping. He shifted a little, and turned himself over so that he was sleeping on his stomach. This movement made Kai gasp a little. (Yes! He made it! He is alive!) Kai thought happily to himself. (And, since he's alive, he'd better get his ass out of bed. Vampires don't sleep in.) He walked over to Rei's peacefully sleeping form. "Rei, wake up!" he called, shaking him gently. Slowly Rei's amber eyes fluttered open. He squinted a little, allowing his eyes to adjust to the dimly lit room. He sat up on the bed. Rei's amber eyes danced over Kai's body, when his eyes finally rested on Kai's face, they showed confusion.
"Are you alright?" Kai asked him, sounding a bit worried. "H-how do you feel?" weird "Kinda...weird to tell you the truth," Rei admitted, but choosing not to go into much detail, because he didn't want to seem like a complainer. Although deep down, Rei's eyes felt a little more sensitive to light than usual, his new fangs were sore, and he still felling lightheaded and tired. Kai had a hunch that Rei wasn't feeling one hundred percent recovered since the night before, but he decided to drop the topic, not wanting to force anything out of Rei. Rei soon closed his eyes, and fell back down unto the bed, his head resting on the pillow. "Rei, what are you doing?" Kai demanded, sounding quite angry. "I'm still kind of tired," Rei mumbled back to him, with his eyes closed. "Can't I just sleep a little longer?" Kai grunted, "Sure, you can sleep in. *If* you don't mind skipping breakfast this morning." Rei immediately jumped at this. "What do you mean?" he inquired.
"Today, I'm going to give you your first training lesson, but in order to do that you've gotta get up now," the crimson-eyed boy explained. "What kind of training did you have in mind?" the raven-haired boy asked, sitting back up on the bed. "Hunting," was Kai's simple response. "I'm gonna teach you to catch your own meals, and how to use those fangs of yours. A vampire who has no idea how use his teeth is no vampire at all." At that last statement Rei growled baring his fangs, and earned an amused look from Kai.
"Before we go I think you should know how fresh blood tastes, so that you'll know what to look for," Kai told Rei, before extending his arm to him. "Drink," he said simply. Rei looked up at Kai in complete shock. "E- excuse me?" he gasped. "Rei, hurry up will you!" the crimson-eyed boy demanded, sounding frustrated. Rei took the hand that Kai had extended to him. He held it nervously, and he could feel Kai's eyes on him. Kai was growing impatient. Rei slowly lowered his new fangs down towards Kai's pale wrist. He hesitated before sinking his teeth into the skin, Kai hissed in pain, but allowed Rei to continue. Rei continued to suck greedily at the wound, showing no sign of stopping. "R-Rei," Kai breathed finally, but Rei wasn't listening. Kai's blood was so sweet, so delicious, and thirst- quenching he didn't want to stop just yet. (Just alittle more...) Rei thought to himself. Kai could feel himself slowly becoming weak, why wasn't Rei stopping?
"REI STOP!" he roared, tearing his arm out of Rei's painful grasp. Rei stared up at Kai perilously, making Kai feel a little bit intimidated, but his face remained emotionless. "I-I want some more," the raven-haired boy demanded. (SS: I know, it's kind of corny but bare with me) "Come on, let's get going," Kai urged. (SS: I didn't wanna write about them getting ready to go out cuz that would be a bore! So let's just pretend they've gotten ready, and they're out on the streets, shall we? P.S. It was 5:00am.)
Kai and Rei continued to walk in silence, until Rei finally gained the courage to break it. "Do you do this every morning?" Kai just looked at him raising an eyebrow questioningly. "I mean do vampires have to hunt everyday?" "Well...not necessarily," Kai answered rather slowly. "We can go without blood for about a week, but after that we risk starvation, sickness and possible death." Rei nodded in understanding. "So, what kind of people do you normally hunt? I mean, you don't hunt just *anyone* do you?" Rei asked the crimson-eyed boy, but he didn't answer. His eyes wandered around them suspiciously. (Someone's following us. I can sense it) Kai thought to himself.
"Kai!" Rei repeated, seemingly irritated. "Huh?" the crimson-eyed boy finally responded. "I was asking you what kind of people do you normally hunt?" Rei explained. "Oh," Kai said, glancing around their surroundings once again. "Uh...I usually hunt, criminals. I try not to hurt the innocent unless absolutely necessary," he finished, biting his bottom lip nervously and glancing around once again. (Someone's watching us, but who? And, what do they want?)
"Kai, are you okay?" Rei finally asked him. "Y-yeah," Kai stammered. "Everything's fine," he lied. (If I told Rei that someone might be following us, he'd probably start to panic. I'd better just keep my mouth shut until I know what's really going on.) Kai decided mentally. Rei stared up at Kai. (He's totally freaking me out with the way he's acting. It's like he's hiding something from me. What's wrong with him?)
Rei was still musing over Kai's strange behavior until a scene knocked him out of his thoughts. A suspicious man dressed in black was running into the alleyways, holding a bag in his hand. "COME BACK WITH MY PURSE YOU THIEF!" an old woman screamed after him, from down the street. But the man just continued to run, disappearing into the alleys. "Come on, I think I just found our breakfast," Kai announced, watching as the man entered the alley. "Let's go!" he yelled before running off after the unsuspecting man. Rei hesitated slightly before finally deciding to follow along.
The thief continued to run before finally coming to a stop. He grinned maliciously, as he eagerly opened the purse to reveal what was inside. "Alright!" he smiled, gazing into the purse. "I hit the jackpot!" he exclaimed, staring at the wallet full of credit cards inside the purse. Just then Kai came out of nowhere, and jumped on the man. "What the fuck!" the man cried out, as he was pushed against the wall, dropping the stolen purse instantly. Rei stayed on the sidelines watching, nervously. "Watch and learn, Rei!" Kai told him. Just then he took the man's face in his hands, put two fingers to his neck, and with one quick movement he hit a pressure point on the man's neck so hard, he was knocked unconscious. (A/N: That's possible you know! Ever watched Xena? She use to do it to people all the time! *Blushes* yeah I use to watch Xena, (with my grandma, she liked that show) but that was a REALLY long time ago. I don't watch it anymore! Honestly I don't!)
"Rei!" the bluish-grey haired boy called him. Rei walked over to Kai and the unconscious man he still had pinned against the wall. "Here he's all yours," Kai told him, letting go of the man, and allowing his body to slump down to the floor. "Uh...thanks," Rei responded. He knelt down over the man, biting down at the exposed skin on his neck. Kai watched in mild interest as Rei closed his eyes and continued to feed. "Rei," Kai spoke softly after a moment, "stop now." But again Rei didn't stop. Kai immediately got down on his knees, wrapped his arms around Rei's slim waist and roughly pulled him away from the man's body. Rei looked up at Kai questioningly. "Rule #1: never drink from a person to the very last drop. You must stop drinking from them when their heart stops," the crimson-eyed boy explained.
"What happens if I don't?" Rei dared to question Kai, as excess blood began to drip down the side of his mouth. "If you don't stop, you'll end up drinking the blood of a dead person. Which means that the blood is dead as well, and drinking it can poison you and kill you," Kai leaned in and whispered to Rei. Before planting a gentle kiss his lips, he then licked the blood off Rei's chin and continued to kiss him slowly, and passionately. He licked Rei's bottom lip lightly, asking for entrance. Rei obliged and allowed Kai's tongue to slowly caress and roam around his mouth, Kai could taste the sweet essence of blood. The kiss lasted a little bit longer, but finally they pulled away panting loudly.
"Awww," said a voice teasingly, out of nowhere. "How kawaii, I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Rei looked up in surprise. Kai on the other hand had kept all of his composure and his face remained emotionless as he stood up and stared at a short green-haired vampire in front of him. (*He* was the one following us? I can't believe I was worried.) Kai thought coldly to himself. "Oh," said the olive green-haired vampire grinning. "Nice to see you again Kai." "Kevin," Kai nodded, sounding slightly irritated. "So, uh...Kai I couldn't help but see what you two just did. Tsk tsk. I must say. I bet you've completely forgotten about Lei since you've got *him* now," Kevin said referring to Rei. Rei growled dangerously at Kevin, and he smirked in response. "But, Kai I'll have you know Lei hasn't forgot about you. In fact he thinks about you all the time...."
"Well then maybe he should get a life," Kai snapped. "Why are you here anyway? I'm sure Lei didn't send you all this way just to tell me that he misses me." "You're right, he didn't," said the green-haired boy, with a toothy grin.
Awww! What a nice cliffhanger, don't cha think? I wasn't originally gonna end it here, but then I suddenly realized that this would be the perfect cliffhanger. I was on a roll wit chappies until I finished this chapter. I have no idea what will happen next, so it may be a while till I update again. But before I go I'll leave you with a couple of questions to ponder over: Why is Kevin there? What does he want? Can it really be? Do I see the makings of a plot? To get the answers to these questions and more please R/R!
