Chapter 4
"Kai what are you doing?" asked Rei once they were in the lift to go to the room.
"Putting you to bed" replied Kai looking at Rei.
*he's beautiful, I've known I was Bi since that thing with Tala, but this feels different*
Rei watched Kai look at him *he is so handsome, God I sound like a fan girl…. Wait a minute did he say 'putting me to bed'*
"why?" asked Rei
"nurses orders, you have to stay off you ankle as much as possible" explained Kai watching the floors tick by on the dial.
Rei was about to complain when the doors opened on there floor.
"Come on" ordered Kai holding the doors so Rei could get out.
Rei thought better to complain *why is Kai acting so nice, like he actually wants to be here* he waited silently for the older boy to open the suite door then was motioned inside.
"go and sit down on the settee once you have eaten your going to bed" stated Kai pushing Rei towards the settee.
Rei sat down putting his ankle onto the table watching Kai move round the suite. *Maybe I can make him forget about putting me to bed*
Kai walked from room to room checking them out, looking for the portable telephone.
*where the hell has that Baka put that thing" thought Kai as he rooted through Tyson's room finally coming up with it covered in candy wrappers. *he's going on a diet*
Kai came into the lounge, sitting on the arm of the chair.
"What do you want for lunch?" asked Kai looking at Rei once more *every time I see him he becomes more beautiful*
Rei's voice broke through Kai's voice.
"Chicken and Noodles please" said Rei wondering why Kai was staring at him *Does he know that I like him or is he just waiting for an answer*
"is that enough?" asked Kai a hint of concern in his voice.
Rei looked at Kai quickly *Concerned, he is actually showing emotion*
"Rei I asked you a question" stated Kai, staring at the Neko Jin.
"Wha? Oh sorry" said Rei. "that's enough for me thanks" he smiled.
"O.K." Kai answered before ringing in the order. Rei tuned out of the conversation looking around the suite *as the nurse said anything is better than the hospital, I wonder how much time I have with the others before they go home and Kai I wonder if he still has to stay with his grandfather? I'll asked. Maybe he'll tell me."
"food should be here in about 5 minutes" said Kai startling Rei "what were you thinking about?"
"nothing much, just about what's going to happen to everyone after the celebrations, Tyson, Max and Chief will go home to their family, what about you? They can't make you live with your Grandfather can they?"
"Have you seen the News today" questioned Kai
"No"
Kai reached over to the table to pick up a new paper. He showed Rei the front cover, there in bold types was.
*Voltaire sent to prison for the rest of his life, with the help of his grandson* with a picture of Kai next to in.
"you testified against your grandfather?" asked Rei looking at the team leader.
"Yes" he replied shortly. *maybe I can tell you what I feel now, no more worrying about what Grandfather or Boris will do, sure there are other employees but what use is it to them to kill me*
"cool" smiled Rei "are you alright?"
"fine, I'm not the one in jail" said Kai a small smile on his lips.
*He smiled! He is so good looking, but what would he want with a guy like me, he could have any girl or boy he wanted*
Seeing the change in Rei's eyes prompted Kai to ask.
"do you want your painkillers?" he asked mistaking the dullness as pain.
"no I'm fine" Rei said smiling slightly at the concern that Kai held for him.
"Rei I've.." Kai started but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Room Service"
Kai got up from the chair to open the door, instead of the maid there stood the rest of the team.
"We decided to join you" exclaimed Max jumping to sit next to Rei on the settee, closely followed by Tyson, leaving Kai and Kenny to carry the food in.
"how ya doin' Rei?" asked Tyson looking at the Neko Jin.
"I'm fine" smiled Rei hiding his pain once more, *Maybe not taking the painkillers was not such an idea*
As if he could read Rei's mind , Kai handed Rei two painkillers and some water.
"Thank you" said Rei glad that he didn't have to ask for them, following his pills Kai handed Rei his food before grabbing his own and sitting in one of the chairs.
"what was it you were going to say earlier?" asked Rei.
"Nothing" replied Kai with a look of - I'll tell you later-. Rei got the message and started to eat his meal feeling the tug of the painkillers working.
Max and Tyson chatted continually through lunch, Kenny would join in occasionally. Kai sat quietly glancing at Rei now and again noticing the glazing in his eyes.
"Rei?" he asked looking at the Neko Jin when he nearly dropped his dish.
"painkillers knock me out, could you help me to my room?" asked Rei pleading Kai to came with him.
"Sure" answered Kai putting his dish down to help the Neko Jin to his room. Once they were through the door.
"Why didn't you say anything?" asked Kai as he helped Rei to lie down, then gently pulling the boys shoes off.
"I didn't think it would act so quickly" confessed Rei looking slightly more awake.
"your not that tired are you?" inquired Kai seeing the glazed look was going.
"no I wanted to hear what you were going to say before the others come in" confessed Rei.
"I was going to say that I'm free from Grandfathers shadow" he replied *Should I tell him? What if he rejects me? Will he be discussed?*
"Rei there is something that I wanted to tell you for a while but it was to dangerous before"
"What is it?" asked Rei *Maybe he does like me, without his grandfather around he can feel and care without putting people in danger*
"I like you Rei a lot, you make me feel different and my heart beats faster around you, Rei will you be my partner?" muttered Kai, fighting to keep looking into Rei's eyes.
Rei's eye's widened in shock, staring at the team captain, Kai took this as a sign that the Neko Jin didn't return his feeling, he got up and walked out of the room, passing the others to carry on out of the door.
