Epilogue
-2 weeks later-
The evening stars began to show and the teams where in different states of mood.
Kai and Rei where about to kill anyone who told them that they had to stay in bed once more, Rei had made it halfway down the stairs before the servant had caught him and carried him back to bed and Kai had been halfway down the drainpipe when he looked up to see Lao's glare so climbed back up into his room, now they had been placed at the table feeling like naughty children and they where told repeatedly to do as they where told.
Max was feeling a bit sore on his arm and was a bit snappy because of the painkillers, but he was more annoyed with the fact he couldn't cut his own food, Tyson who had seen Max getting frustrated leant over and cut his food quietly without the blonde having to ask for help. Kenny, Tala and Ian where talking as was Bryan and Spencer as they ate ignoring the adults as they talked to Kai and Rei and the rules they had to follow or have to go back into hospital. Lao looked at his brother and the way the Neko was acting around him but was he and Kai actually going out or where they just friends, when the adults had finished bending Kai's and Rei's ear and the group was moved into lounge while they ate pudding and talked to each other. Lao noticed that Rei was leaning against Kai as they where lying on the settee, needing the answer to his answer he decided to ask
"Baby blue?" he started
"What" growled Kai glaring at him
"are you two going out?" he asked indicating to the two cuddling.
"yes" answered Kai.
"well that explains a lot" said Lao "now I know why he went for me thinking I had hurt you"
"Sorry about that?" came Rei soft voice as he turned his sorrow filled eyes at the older Hiwatari.
"you had reason I see that now, I just regret that I was the reason. You just take care of my Baby Bro" smiled Lao putting Rei at easy. The group was quiet before
"you keep saying Baby Bro, By how much?" blurted Tyson into the silence.
"Tyson that is not something you ask people" scolded Max looking at the bluenet
"it's alright, well I'm 20 and Kai's 16 so 4 years gap" answered Lao looking at the Bluenet.
"that's Cool, someone that might be able to control him" grinned Tyson.
"You want me to hit him for you" said Rei grinning as he shifted slightly.
"na, I'll get him when he least expects it" said Kai grinning evilly at Tyson who gulped. The others laughed and there was a silence over the group before Lao shifted and looked at his brothers, opening and closing his mouth before shaking his head and asking the question.
"what have you been up to for the last 13 years?" he asked carefully. Kai was quiet before turning to look at his brother.
"I was at the Abbey, in Russia" said the bluenet. Lao frowned.
"the one that focused on Bladeing?" he asked.
"Yeah, All the Demolition boys bit-beasts where created there apart from Dranzer but Black Dranzer was" said Bryan looking sad.
"Black Dranzer! Please do not say any of you used that" he said sternly looking at each of the boys. Kai looked at Lao carefully.
"Why?" he asked
"Because I was one of the men that helped create that thing for the perfect blader but I was never told where it had gone but I heard that it was used years ago and destroyed part of the abbey then it was used again by the perfect blader in the tournament before he went AWOL" said Lao looking at his brother.
"Well I'm that boy" said Kai sifting slightly at Lao stare "I was the blader Voltaire wanted to use that thing and I did"
"but he lost control of it the first time" pointed out Ian "well seeing as he was only 5 at the time."
"wait a minute that would have made you 7" said Kenny, Lao nodded and signed.
"I inherited my fathers intelligence as he was a Hiwatari he was schooled at the best schools to enhance it as was I, Kai here inherited Mothers traits like the stubbornness and love for life. Anyway where I worked was the science side of thing before I became the experiment of the Destine Project before it was moved to the Russian Abbey where I'm guessing you became part of it."
The Demolition Boys and Kai nodded at Lao's statement all holding a haunted look in their eyes as a pregnant silence went over the lounge.
"Hey what was Kai like when he was really young?" asked Tyson snapping everyone out of the limbo they had fallen into.
"Annoying" smirked Lao getting a glare off Kai and a laugh of the others.
"Didn't change much" said Tala as he was fixed with a glare as well.
"with you two as big brothers like you two can you blame me" retorted Kai smirking, receiving twin glares of Tala and Lao.
"tell us about both of you, if you don't mind please" asked Max.
Lao looked at his brother who nodded at him before Lao began to speak.
"I am Lao Rico Hiwatari the eldest son of Crystal and Heero Hiwatari who where killed when I was 5 and Kai was three, and we through each other was dead." Started Lao "as I said earlier I was the one that followed our dad and Kai followed our mother"
"I don't remember them all that much" said Kai quietly before shaking himself out of the thought.
"I don't remember much but there are bits and pieces, one of them is the day you where born" smiled Lao
"aww embarrassment time" grinned Max.
"we all had our stories told, time for your Kai" said Kenny as he got comfortable. Kai looked at his brother with a look of certain death if he said anything too embarrassing. Lao shrugged off the look and grinned.
"Baby Blue as a baby, he was so cute bright red eyes…and a tufted of blue hair…… as he grew up he became the adorable toddler but he was devious with it, he could play practically anyone for anything" grinned Lao. Kai smirked.
"I remember getting, what was it? Pitica…. Pualica…"
"Pitu something?" said Lao
"Yeah him, I remember getting him into trouble for something he didn't do" said Kai
"you where always good at that" smirked Ian " me on the receiving end mostly"
"but most the time he used it to help others. Pitu was a cousin from Voltaire's side of the family, who thought because he was older, he was better that us so he picked on me and Kai to try and get us into trouble with the grownups but it backfired" grinned the older Red head "Kai got him into trouble with his parents for something that I had done in revenge against him, for a 2 going on 3 year old he was so well minded and still held the look that butter wouldn't melt in his mouth"
"I've seen that look a few times" smiled Tala fondly. Kai ducked and buried his face in Rei's hair. The Neko chuckled at the image created of his Koi much younger before hugging his embarrassed boyfriend.
"such a cutie" he smirked not batting an eyelid at the glare he got in return.
"yes and he used it well. After that I see bits and pieces of Kai laughing or crying" said Lao sadly "I wish I could have seen you grow baby bro"
Everyone was quiet, not sure what to say before Spencer broke the silence.
"what do you remember of Lao, Kai?"
Kai looked at his older brother thoughtfully.
"I remember another phoenix but purple..Zarrr….Zara? and that it belonged to you but apart from that very little" replied the bluenet.
"Zara was my Bit-beast before it was destroyed" said Lao sadly "it became part of the study for Black Dranzer maybe even part of him"
"that would explain the most powerful bit-beast listening to Kai" thought Bryan out loud "sacrifice one bit-beast of a person related to the perfect blader, place the bit-beast mind and memories into that powerful beast ergo it's controllable"
"yes that would work" said Tala thinking "that's why no-one else would have or could have been able to control it because Zara your Phoenix recognised Kai as your younger brother and would obey him to a certain extent but you would have had full control it Voltaire had thought about it"
Once again silence reigned over the group as each went into their own thoughts.
{Rei?} came Drigger's voice making Rei jump, causing Kai to look at him confused.
"Drigger" he explained with Kai's nod he went back to talking to the great tiger.
Hey Drigger how ya going?
{more to the point how are you little one} replied Drigger
I'm fine and you calling me little one means I'm in trouble said Rei slowly.
{you were a little pain when you where feral} stated Drigger
I'm sorry about that, I wasn't thinking whined Rei please forgive me he sent the mental Kitty eyes at the great tiger.
{don't look at me like that, grrr, I can't never say mad at you little cub well until my tale stops hurting I'm mad at you}
Drigger, I wanna say thank you for stopping me doing to much damage
{anytime Cub. Anyway I better let you get back to lover boy Dranzers calling me}
go to your love bird, big cat smirked Rei
{watch yourself little cub your still in the Kitten box with me for a while}
oh Drigger moaned Rei
{don't 'oh Drigger' me, get some rest and do what the others tell you or face me, tell Kai that as well} Drigger stopped talking for awhile before coming back {that goes from Dranzer as well}
great grounding by a Bit-beast muttered Rei
{you better believe it little cub, get some rest I'll speak later}
bye sulked Rei, the Neko drew out of the conversation and sulked as he leant again Kai
"What's up Kitten?" asked Kai looking down at him.
"we're grounded" he muttered.
"How's you get that?" asked Kai confused.
"Drigger and Dranzer aren't pleased at some of the stunts we pulled at the house and here" Rei answered, Kai looked startled before going quiet and trying to contact Dranzer before blinking.
"that is totally unfair" he moaned looking up as the others laughed.
"Now that's the teenage response to something" grinned Tala, KAI rolled his eyes at the red head.
"well we have to rest and still not do anything strenuous, so what can we do?" asked Rei shooting a look at Bryan who opened his mouth no doubt to say something vulgar or rude.
"what about watching a film?" said Max nodding over to the rows of DVD's that lined the cupboard next to the TV.
"that would be cool" said Ian "there are loads that I've wanted to see"
"Us too but we never got the chance" said Tala, Tyson walked over to the selves and randomly grabbed a DVD without looking.
"Lord of the Rings" he announced.
"we better watch the first one to begin with otherwise their not going to understand what is going on" said Max, Tyson routed through to find the other Lord of the rings films and put the first on into the player before wondering into the Kitchen to get movie snacks, coming back with his arms full followed by a maid and the cook carrying food and drinks.
"Victoria says that this will keep you going through the film as many as you didn't eat much for dinner" said Stephanie the maid
"you boys are still growing you need to eat more" fussed Victoria as she placed a tray of coke cans "if you need anymore just ask" she smiled before the two ladies left, the drinks and food where given out before Kenny turned off the lights as the film started.
The clock struck nine o'clock as the credits of the film rolled on, the group sat watching them until the door opened and the light was flicked on, coursing everyone to wince.
"Good to see your still resting" beamed Mr Dickinson as he came into the room "I have a little surprise for you" he said as he walked over to the T.V turning off the DVD, and put a video in the recorder before walking out to leave the boys to watch it, the group stared at the screen before the picture flicker on and Stuart came into view.
"Hello All he smiled
"I know I haven't been to see you but duty calls, I'm in another country as you can see by the weather." Pointing to the blue sky above him. "I hope you are all doing as you are told and doing well. I would like to thank you for giving me an assignment that I will never forget even though parts if it I wouldn't mind forgetting. I never thought babysitting could be so hard, well I feel sorry for whoever has to baby sit you lot next specially if Kai is one of you."
The group laughed at this even Kai cracked a smile.
"Anyway look after yourselves and don't get into trouble but looking at your track record I expect to hear something in the next month involving you. Bye for now and I know this is useless but please stay out of trouble."
With that the scene went blank.
"At least he doesn't hate us" smiled Max as he shifted and grabbed a handful of popcorn.
"Not that Kai made it easy to get on with us" said Tyson
"specially when stole his wallet" said Kenny
"you what?" said Lao looking at his little brother. Kai looked at Kenny before Lao
"I didn't" replied Kai truthfully
"you found out he was MI6 and you said you just found his wallet that can not be true" said Kenny "he always kept an eye on his wallet"
"yes but he must have been distracted at the time and dropped it, I just found it" said Kai clearly not going to say anymore.
"just admit it Kai, you did take it" pushed Max, Kai kept quiet as Tyson, Max and Kenny tried to make Kai confess, soon the others joined in.
"Guys" said Rei but was ignored as the others continued to get Kai to confess none of them where taking any notice of Rei, Rei sighed before drawing his breath. "HEY I TOOK HIS WALLET" shouted Rei as the group stopped at looked at him "Kai didn't take it I did"
"But?" said Bryan "your meant to be the goody two toes"
"I used to be a pick pocket a couple of years ago, I'm quick enough" shrugged Rei "so no more blaming Kai."
"but we didn't hear about that when the White Tigers came!" said Tyson
"You're just trying to cover for Kai" grinned Max "that's so sweet"
"Wrong, that part of my life was unknown to the White Tiger as it was after me leaving them and before me joining you, it's part of my life that I do not wish to relive or re-tell" said Rei as he snuggled into Kai's chest, his tone of voice broke no questions.
Kai smiled down at Rei before resting his head on top of the Neko's, the others where silent before Lao suggested the next Lord of the Rings film because he wanted to know what happened next, Tala and Spencer agreed. They started to watch the next film as more snack were brought into the lounge for them. Victoria once more moaning about their eating habits. Soon Rei and Kai fell asleep their dreams filled with the happy times that they hoped to get in the future, While Lao watched on vowing that he would keep his brother safe and happy. Now Kai and Rei had a family that would always be there, it didn't matter about blood, it was what you believed that created a great family.
