Chapter 31
"KAI" shouted Rei as he burst out of the bathroom half dressed. Kai smirked before turning to Rei.
"Yes?"
"you did this on purpose" accused Rei pointing to the love bite on his neck that rested just above the collar of his outfit. Kai smirked wider walking over to him.
"Told you payback is a bitch" he stated ignoring the glare that was sent in his direction.
"Humph" Rei sulked before walking into the bathroom to finish getting changed, trying to cover the mark but nothing seem to cover it without making it worse, so he went to plan B. He released his hair from it's bind his bangs at the front hung round his face covering his neck the longer part he plaited back hoping that his hair would cover the mark.
Kai watched as Rei stormed out of the bathroom his bandanna gone letting the front bangs cover his one of his eyes and the mark on his neck.
"I thought your specie mark their mates" the older boy smirked only to receive a narrowed eyes glare. "it works better with both eyes kitten" he added brushing the bang out of Rei's face.
"well I have no choice" said Rei pulling away pushing his hair back into place.
KNOCK KNOCK
"come in" ordered Kai. Max came into the room.
"Stuart needs us downstairs in the next 10 minutes and we can't wake Tyson up can you help?" pleased the blonde.
"Sure Maxy" said Rei moving to follow the blonde.
"Cool, like the hair" smiled Max pointing it out.
"I fancied a change" Rei muttered as Max leading the older couple to where Tyson slept. They walked into the other room to be hit by the noise that Tyson made in his sleep, Rei moved to Tyson leaning over to bluenet whispering something into his ear.
Tyson turned in his sleep hitting the floor taking Rei with him, then started petting Rei's hair.
"God Damn it Tyson, get off me" Rei shouted trying to push the other boy of without hurting him but the bluenet stayed put brushing Rei's hair covering the mark.
"Tyson" yelled Rei "get him off me"
Kai walked over pulling Tyson up by his collar.
"you better have a good reason for lying on my Koi" he said frostily. This made Tyson startled awake looking at who was holding him meeting with a pair of blazing Red eyes.
"Ha Hi Kai" he said scared "what's up?"
"you trying it on with Rei" Kai replied harshly.
"WHAT!!" yelled Tyson looking down to see Rei still on the floor getting his breath. "what happened?"
"I tried to wake up, and you rolled over to the floor taking me with you then you started petting me" said Rei standing up before brushing himself down, pushing his hair back into state.
"Oh man, sorry Rei, must have been a good dream" he smiled as Kai let him drop to the floor.
"get ready we need to go" ordered Kai sending Tyson scurrying about the room to get ready, while Kai helped Rei up before working out of the room to go and get breakfast.
###############
The other four members of the team where about to start their breakfast when Tyson hurried in plonking himself next to Max.
"Decided to get here then" teased Max before pushing Tyson breakfast towards him.
"Yeah, I wanted to get something for Rei" said Tyson biting into his toast.
"What?" asked Rei looking up.
"I saw the bruise on your neck so I got you some Witch Hazel" said Tyson handing over a little bottle.
"What Bruise?" asked Max rushing over to Rei pushing the hair out of the way trying to find it. "what happened?" he asked when he saw it.
Rei smirked glancing at Kai " Kai did it" he told Max.
"Kai! Why did you do that?" scolded Max. Kai choked on his drink.
"you should apologise" encouraged the blonde.
"I have" Kai mumbled glaring at the Neko Jin promising revenge. Stuart walked into the room seeing the team silent, Tyson and Max looking at Kai disapprovingly while Max applied something to Rei neck. He looked closer at the mark to see it was a love bite.
"Hey Stuart" greeted Kenny.
"What's going on?" asked Stuart indicating to the scene.
"Tyson saw that Rei had a bruise on his neck, Max asked who had done it and Kai was the culprit."
"I bet it was" whispered Stuart before speaking loudly "come on the bus is waiting".
The Team moved onto the bus sat in the usual places, thinking what was happening today. Max and Tyson chatted together, Kenny worked on Dizzy while Kai and Rei sat in silence, revenge working in Kai's mind and Rei celebrating the turn in the game that he and Kai were playing.
The journey took an hour and a half before they started the descent to the car park used for workers or special visitors watching as the Bio domes of the Eden Project came into view.
"it looks like bubble wrap" said Max as they got out of the bus staring at the building.
"Ah! You must be the Bladebreakers" came a man's voice, the team turned to see a tall man with Red hair in a loose pony tail that rested down his back, eyes bright green, friendly face and warm. "I am Matthew"
"Yes that is us" answered Stuart moving forward so the team stood behind him.
"then please come this way" he smiled leading the team inside the staff room where he bayed them to take a seat. "the agenda for today is the opening of the expedition at mid-day so you can take a tour of the Bio-Dome first" Matthew Started.
"Should be alright, what about security?" asked Stuart.
"all has been arranged, they are posted a the entrance and each person entering and leaving are checked" Matthew said smoothly checking the list in his hand before smiling "all will be safe"
"Very well" replied Stuart before turning back to the team "remember what I told you"
"Yes Stuart" the younger ones chorused followed by a "Hn" from Kai. Matthew lead the team towards the Eden project domes.
"this is a place that grows different plants and trees of different cultures and climates under one roof" explained Matthew leading them to the start of the project. Stuart turned to them.
"I'm going to check on the security I'll meet out at Mid-day at the next expedition"
"Ok" smiled Max before Stuart when out.
"I have work to get to, so just take a walk round and enjoy yourself" said Matthew before leaving the team. Tyson and Max ran off into the expedition with Kenny in toe.
"your suck with me then" smiled Rei taking Kai's hand pulling him through the expedition.
"Slow down Kitten, we have two and half hours to look round" reasoned Kai pulling Rei back a bit. Rei pouted but complied. The couple walked quietly through the sections occasionally hearing the happy laughter of Max or curse from Tyson.
Kai and Rei walked into a bridge that lead by a waterfall, the bridge stood above the plunge pool with the rock waterfall on the left cascading down.
"It's amazing how they made this" said Kai watching the water fall down the rocks, the hand in his tightened slightly making him look up. "What?" he asked seeing Rei looking around them.
"Something's wrong" stated Rei his eyes slitting slightly to see what was going on around him. Kai let go of Rei's hand so that he could look have a proper look round himself , he walked off the bridge feeling eyes on him, he looked round scarlet eyes resting on a bush a figure jumped out tackling Kai to the ground.
"KAI!" shouted Rei moving towards him not seeing the other figure swinging towards him knocking into him sending him over the side of the bridge but Rei turned in time to grab the other person taking them with him.
Kai fought the person holding him down, punching him in the jaw sending the other backwards, Kai quickly got up his fist connecting again to knock the person out.
SLASH
Kai turned running to the bridge looking over the edge to see Rei surface hair plastered against him covering his face, the man that had pushed him over coming up behind him, Kai jumped over the edge of the bridge into the water below. He surface near the man and before the other could react grabbed him and pushed him under the water again and again so the man was coughing to much to follow them.
"Come on lets get you out" said Kai helping Rei to the edge of the pool, they sat there for a moment getting their breath.
"REI, KAI!" Came Tyson's voice, they looked up to see Tyson, Max and Kenny leaning over the side of the bridge beaming down at them.
"Come on" said Rei standing up "Kai hold on to my back"
Kai did as he was told, holding tightly onto Rei as he jumped onto the bridge kneeling gasping slightly.
"your heavier that you look" he said looking at Kai. Tyson burst out laughing causing Kai to glare at him. "you heavier Tyson" Rei pointed out smirking at the younger bluenet.
"Come on we better get you dried off and tell Stuart, also get out of here before they try again" suggested Kenny. The Team ran towards the Exit trying to find Stuart and hoping nothing else would happen.
############
Matthew smiled at the scene of the team running through the Eden project.
"it would they are harder to catch than I thought" he said to himself before turning to two men that stood at the door.
"Gather your team members and separate the team away from the Neko in someway, use anything maybe wait until the opening is over they will be relaxed" he ordered before walking out, his face changing back into they warm and friendly one he had received them with.
#############
Kai pushed open the main door repressing a shiver as the wind suddenly hit him. He saw the familiar blonde hair ahead of him, checking to see if the others were behind him as he continued run to the older blonde.
"What happened to you, decided to take a swim?" smiled Stuart seeing the wet leader and Neko Jin.
" No we…" Kai started before Matthew walked in interrupting him.
"Now children, I did not say that you could go swimming in that waterfall" smirked Matthew.
"We didn't" stated Kai.
"the cameras was watching in" said Matthew. Kai's eyes began to show his anger, Dranzer making her appearance in the flames that decorated his iris, he looked away deciding to let Rei deal with this before he decided to. Rei moved forward shaking slightly, eyes slitting dangerously.
"We did not decide to go for a swim" he said coldly
"then you shouldn't have been fighting on the bridge" Matthew filled smoothly waving a finger a Rei, Rei was so tempted to bite the finger that was oh so close.
"We weren't" growled Rei.
"Lovers tiff then" smiled Matthew "now boys no need to be embarrassed that was quiet a fall, I'm sure there will not be any punishment out of this" he smirked emphasising punishment, ruffling Rei's wet hair that hung lose.
Stuart smiled at Matthew "I'll talk to them when we get back.
"Don't be too hard on them" smiled Matthew.
"He wont be doing anything" came Kai's voice "I don't know why you are lying or what you have to gain from this, but if you ever touch Rei or anyone on this team I will personally see that you will not be able to touch anyone" as Kai said this his eyes sparked with flames, he's voice getting colder with every word it got to the point that Stuart was expecting icicles to form around them, as Kai stepped forwards Matthew stepped back his eyes conveying fear.
"Kai" snapped Stuart, who received a cold glare from the older bluenet. Max moved forward tapping Stuart on the arm, Tyson and Kenny behind him.
"they where attack, Sir, they did not decide to go for a swim" said Max seriously.
"and Kai might be mean, but he would never push Rei into water or would it happen the other way round, special if it dangerous" said Tyson backing Max up.
"What do you mean?" asked Stuart turning to look at the younger three, while keeping an eyes on the older two who where glaring daggers at the welcome guide.
"Rei is half cat" whispered Kenny "afraid a lot of water"
Stuart's mind clicked if I had believed in this story that Matthew is spinning then if something else happened I would ignore it or blame the team, O.K. then lets play along
He whispered the last bit to the younger ones before turning to the older ones.
"Now Kai, come away from him and stop glaring at him for telling me what happened" he said sharply but his eyes relayed a different message which Kai caught onto. Snarling slightly Kai backed down putting his arm round Rei's waist, Rei's eyes stayed narrows as he let Kai hold him not sure what was happening but letting Kai lead.
"Well I better get the opening ready, if you will follow Danny he will take you somewhere to dry off, you have an hour" said Matthew shortly before smirking at Kai and Rei, feeling as if he had won the argument. The team waited for a couple of minutes before a young man walked in leading them to the boiler room where they could dry off.
Kai re-plaited Rei's hair before both stood by the heater hoping their clothes would dry off in time. Stuart looked thoughtful
Why would that guide try and get me to ignore the older two boys, could he be part of the group that is trying to get either of them?
"Stuart" came Kai's voice breaking his thoughts.
"yeah?"
"What are we gonna to about that arsehole?" Kai asked coldly his eyes showing a hint of the danger from before.
"I need you to stay together as a team, I'll be with you as well, I'm going to stay with you and make sure no-one goes off alone but I need your help convincing Matthew that he's won" explained Stuart.
"How?" asked Tyson
"Rei look like you've been told off, like I've threatened to punish you of anything else happens" started Stuart before turning to Kai "Make sure you look defiant, not that it's much of a difference from your usual look but have something to make in look like I've shouted at you."
"Hn"
"The rest of you act normally" he finished. The heaters did their jobs as Kai's and Rei's clothes dried quickly, Danny came back 50 minutes later to tell the team they should et ready.
Stuart lead the team out into the area between the Bio-Dome and the new evolutionary expedition, smiling mentally at the act they boys were doing. Max was bouncing about with Tyson while Kenny shouted at them to calm down. Kai looked straight forward with a clear look of – no-one can order me around – is posture slumped slightly. Rei was pulling off the perfect look of a child who has been told off by their parents, head bowed his hair covering his face posture slumped
Just hope they keep it up
