Chapter 11
~ Dream~
~ Wind rustled the trees, screams and cries could be heard
'LET ME GO' came a shout.
'No your mine' came a gruff voice.
'GET OFF ME' squeaked the voice as the hold tightened, the body thrashing around~
Kai woke to the noise of whimpering and the person above him thrashing about.
"Rei!" he shouted trying to get the boy from his dream, holding him tighter, in response Rei thrashed around even more. Kai let go of Rei, once free the Neko Jin jumped up onto the floor moving to the corner before full coming awake.
Rei looked around at where he was, relived to find that he was in his room, then he saw Kai looking at him. He realised that he must of freaked Kai out, his eyes filled with tears he tried hard to stop them falling.
"I'm sorry" he whispered, a couple of tears rolling down his face.
"you did nothing wrong" said Kai firmly coming over to kneel in front of the Neko Jin opening his arms, he found himself with a lap full of cat.
"Sh….Sh… It's alright, I was only a dream" the bluenet said reassuringly " can you tell me what it was about? If you want to" he added looking into Rei's eyes.
"I…I…I don't know, who it is or what is going on, in the dream. I just feel trapped and this voice is in my ear, a man holding me down" Rei sighed "that's all that happened in the dream. I see other faceless people but I don't know who they could be"
Kai held him tighter whispering comfort in his ear, Rei finally felt better he tried to get up, collapsing again when he put his weight on his ankle.
"Only 3 more days" said Rei as he reached out to Kai for support, "We might as well get ready for the next visitor" he added looking at Kai smiling slightly. Kai couldn't help but smile back, the couple got changed, staying in the room they sat in comfortable silence.
~~~~#####~~~
The door of the suite opened as Mr Dickinson let a woman in her 40's into the room before directing her towards one of the chairs.
"Are you comfortable there, Mrs Kuriakin?" Mr Dickinson asked.
"Very well Mr Dickinson, please call me Cordet" she smiled.
"then call me Stanley. I'll go and get the boys" he said walking out to get the team up.
~~~###~~~~
Max came bounding in to the room chased by Tyson, arguing to and fro.
"Now boys, sit down and stop bickering" ordered Mr Dickinson sternly.
"yes sir" they chorused together, looking at the woman in the chair.
Rei's and Kai's door opened as Rei came walking through with his crutches followed by Kai, Kai didn't look at the guest as he was making sure that Rei was alright.
"My, My Kai haven't you grown" said Cordet standing up.
Kai swung round to look at the woman "Cordet" he said surprise laced in his voice "How?" he whispered.
Cordet walked forward pulling Kai into a tight hug.
"How are you child?" she asked looking deeply into his eyes.
"Fine" he replied not believing that she was there.
She smiled "didn't think they could get rid of me, did you?" she inquired.
"I thought you were dead" replied Kai pulling away from her, his eyes frosting over once more, face set.
"They didn't get it right" she said as she sat down again looking at Kai, Kai sat on the arm of Rei's chair, the Neko Jin put his hand in Kai's giving him silent support.
"Who are you?" asked Tyson, worried at the power this woman over Kai.
"I was Kai's child minder or nanny for seven years" she reflected "I watched him go from a darling little boy to the cold hearted boy his grandfather wanted him to be, but I could do nothing" she sighed " when I did try, Voltaire tried to have me killed."
Kai looked down *Whoever gets close to me gets hurt, she tried to help me and was nearly killed* the hand in his tightened, he looked into the golden eyes that radiated comfort and warmth.
"Well I came here to tell you about Kai so I will" smiled Cordet "well I met Kai when he was 3 years old, after his parents had been killed in a car accident, Kai Heero Hiwatari" she started, fishing around in her bag pulling at to photo book showing the first picture in a book.
"Here he is a 4 years old on his birthday with me, 8th October" she smiled, the picture showed a miniature of Kai minus his war paint, smiling at the camera, in the arms of a younger version of Cordet.
"this is before Voltaire took an interest in him" she said smiling at the memory.
Next in the file was a professional family portrait of Voltaire and Kai, Voltaire was sat on a chair with Kai stood next to him, his war paint visible in the picture his eyes cold with no emotion. " this was taken when Kai was ten, the last year I saw him" sadness echoed in her eyes.
"I always thought you were dead" said Kai looking at the woman "He always said that it was my fault" he added scared that it was the truth.
"you had nothing to do with it child, Voltaire didn't like me interfering and I pushed to hard, nothing you did" reassured Cordet, Kai stayed silent not really listening to the reassurance that she gave.
"Well that is all I can do, I now have another child to look after, this one I will not let go. I wish I had done the same for you" she admitted sadly getting up to leave.
"good bye" Kai whispered before walking into the bedroom.
"Well that was different" said Kenny quietly watching Kai's bedroom door close.
"Hn" said Rei as he struggled to get up.
"it was nice to see that Kai hasn't always been this way" smiled Max looking at the bright side of the visit.
"I'm going to see if Kai is alright" said Rei limping towards the bedroom quietly going in.
~Lounge~
"Voltaire deserves what he got" cried Tyson. "I don't get on with Kai, but to make him believe that someone's death was his fault is not right"
"yeah but Voltaire has no moral or sense of family, but hey he's behind bars for the rest of his life now" said Max trying to brighten the mood.
"Suppose you right Maxy" sighed Tyson " you fancy a battle?"
"O.K." said Max "you wanna come chief?"
"yeah, could do with checking your stats." Said Kenny.
The three younger team-members left the suite, hoping their team leader would be alright.
~bedroom~
Rei went quietly into the bedroom.
"Kai?" he asked going through the room onto the balcony. Kai looked up to see Rei leaning on the door frame.
"you alright?" Rei asked gently, concern shining brightly in his eyes.
"I'm fine" said Kai shortly then sighed "Sorry, I always thought she was dead and that it was my fault"
Rei limped towards Kai leaning on the edge of the balcony, looking up at the taller bay.
"it's not your fault, you are not a Killer" said Rei sternly "you could do nothing without getting yourself killed, so don't go all mopey (A/N I know this is not a proper word) on me" joked Rei looking at the change on his Koi's face.
"Alright Kitten, you've changed my mind" smiled Kai turning to the Neko Jin " I'm fed up with living with my Grandfathers lies and me taking the blame"
Rei reached forward tugging on Kai's scarf.
"Come on, I didn't get my morning kiss this morning" he pouted, before turning limping towards the room, only to be swept up into strong arms. Once in the room they lay side by side looking into each others eyes but both in their own thoughts.
*This is going great, this relationship is going well for the first one I've had with another boy. I pray to whoever is up there for this relationship to carry on* thought Rei looking deeply into the scarlet eyes in front of him.
*This day has been so confusing, someone came back from the dead and I feel compelled to put a happy face on it for Rei's sake, he has really gotten into my heart* Kai's thoughts wondered off to the events of the morning.
"Kai, am I going to get that morning kiss or not" Rei pouted after about 10 minutes.
"Might do" teased Kai before reaching forward capturing Rei's lips into a passionate kiss, reaching round pulling Rei to him running his hands down his back.
Rei arched at the contact purring into the kiss, he reached to stroke Kai's chest happy to feel Kai arching towards the contact.
Kai continued his journey down Rei's back until he came to his backside, lifting his hand he lightly smacked it.
Rei pulled away from the kiss to look at Kai startled by the action.
"Didn't think I wouldn't notice you hadn't got your crutches on you, did you?" said Kai sternly looking at the Neko Jin.
Rei looked away blushing slightly.
"I thought you were more important," he said pouting before looking once more into Kai's eyes.
"Next time use your crutches" smiled Kai "now shall we go back to what we were doing," he said seductively before capturing Rei's lips once more.
~#~
"Hey guys, you feel someone watching us?" said Max looking up from the battle that he and Tyson was having.
Tyson slammed Draciel out of the dish before becoming aware of his surrounding, feeling the eyes of them.
"Yeah" he agreed looking around him.
"Probably just a fan" said Kenny getting up.
"Probably" said Tyson grinning "they can't wait to see me blade again" he boasted
"yeah right Tyson" signed Max. "come on we better get back for lunch"
"Come on we better not be late" rushed Tyson pulling Max behind him.
~~
The three burst into the room.
"KAI, HEY KAI IT'S LUNCH TIME" shouted Tyson walking into the lounge.
"Hn, no need to shout" growled Kai walking out of he's room, collected Rei's crutches before walking back into the room.
"er.. sorry" apologized Tyson rubbing the back of his neck.
"Whatever" muttered Kai coming back out of the room, something different about his face. Rei limped into the room before plopping himself on a chair then looking over to Kai, he started to giggle. Kai looked round or him.
"What?"
Tyson soon entered into the laughing.
"What?!!" questioned Kai getting frustrating.
"your.. face paint" was all Tyson could chock out.
Kai went into the bathroom to see what was the matter, his face paint had been smudged across his cheek, he now looked like he had blue blusher on.
"Oh No!" he muttered before set about redoing his stripes.
The team moved down into the restaurant were they saw teams from the tournament.
"this place is packed" said Max smiling at the teams in the room.
"with all the teams in the hotel, what do you expect" said Kenny looking for an empty table.
"well with the food here I would come here" said Tyson eyeing the buffet.
"come on there is a table over there" Max said seeing a table by the window, the group sat down and ordered their meal as Tyson raided the buffet.
"I wonder where we're going for the tour, where are we going first?" asked Max.
"I talked to Mr Dickinson earlier were going to the U.K. for the for the first leg of the tour, not sure after that" said Kenny, reading the E-mail off Dizzy's screen.
"it will be nice to see more of England" said Rei thinking about the last time they were there.
"Maybe Robert will show us around" said Tyson stuffing his face with his food.
Max and Tyson carried on the conversation about the tour round England, Kai listen to the places the chief thought they were going. Rei tuned out of the conversation when he felt someone watching him, he reached out with his senses to see where the feeling was coming from, he turned to look out of the window straight at a clump of bushes outside the glass, his eyes narrowed at the sudden movement, he kept his gaze on the bushes shutting out all other sounds focusing on the bush.
Kai looked over at Rei, seeing his Koi was focused completely on the bushes, he moved to stand next to the Neko Jin during the others attention to Rei. Kai crouched down by the side of Rei readying to pull him out of his trance.
"What's wrong?" asked Max looking at the focused Neko Jin.
"He's focused his attention on something outside" said Kai thinking about he could get Rei's attention without starling him, but he didn't have a chance. Tyson reached forward.
"Tyson No!" but it was to late, the bluenet had clapped his hand on Rei's shoulder jerking back to reality.
Rei turned hissing at Tyson, his eyes narrowed and teeth bared.
"I told you not to" stated Kai as he drew Rei's attention to him, his voice bringing his to his normal state.
"What?" said Rei looking around him, seeing the people in the restaurant staring at him. Tyson looked at him fear present in his eyes, it suddenly clicked in his mind. "oh God" he whispered "I didn't hurt you did I?" he asked hoping he hadn't.
"your didn't hurt anyone" came Kai's voice causing Rei to turn to him again "what did you see?"
"there was someone in the bushes" explained Rei before turning back to look at the bushes. "I felt eyes on me" he whispered.
"Come on I think we need to go back" said Kai leading the group out of the dinning room keeping an eye on Rei as they went to the room once more.
