Not In Love

Thanks to all the reviewers. I've been really busy these last few weeks with shows and LOADS of homework which I should be doing now but hey! I'll just leave it 'till the night before it's due in and do it in a rush! I've done TWO shows and some one off variety nights (which are rubbish and I was made to do!) And I had this big ball to prepare for. But that's all over now so I hope to start writing a bit faster and maybe even put up the new fic I've started when Can You Keep A Secret has finished.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing but the plot and a few characters.

Chapter 2

They walked into the restaurant and, in no time at all, were at their reserved table. Despite the huge queue at the door, their table was ready and waiting, mind you, it hadn't come cheap.  They both enjoyed their job but they'd be lying if they said they didn't enjoy being filthy rich. They were both very good at what they did and long term projects like this didn't come cheap. A lot of their money went on cars or bikes as they seemed to trash about one a month. Occasionally, they'd go on huge shopping sprees and spend thousands on suits, sunglasses- Kai's personal favourite. He was obsessed. At home there was a cupboard devoted to them- and anything that grabbed their attention.  

In an instant, it was obvious why Tyson loved this restaurant. Even Kai thought how good the food looked. 

"Qu'aimerais-vouz boire?" (What would you like to drink?) A very camp looking waiter said as he appeared at their table, resting his hand on his hip and taking out a pen.

"Eau, s'il vous plait." (Water please) Kai and Rei said together, not looking up from their menus. The waiter gave them a strange look as they answered in unison.

"D'accord. Duex eaus arrivee en." (Okay. Two waters coming up) (A:N as you can probably tell I don't listen in French 'cause my bitch of a teacher sat us alphabetically and all I do is write Kai on the back of my hand. I also forgot how you do the little accents. But just the idea of them speaking a different language has me drooling ^^.)  As he strutted off, Kai laid down his menu already knowing what he wanted. Rei, however, was finding the choice very difficult.

"What shall I have?"

"Whatever you want."

"I don't know what I want though. It all sounds so good." Kai smiled slightly and shook his head. Rei was so fickle when it came to making little decisions. He watched him flick through the menu trying to find what he wanted.

"Owwww!"

"Rei, what's wrong?" Concern flashed through Kai's eyes instantly.

"Oh, it's nothing," Rei said, noticing Kai's worried expression. "My arms still a little sore from last night. It's nothing to worry about."

"Let me have a look." Rei reluctantly held out his right arm to Kai. He watched as his friend gently traced the wound that ran from the back of his hand to his elbow with his fingers.

"This is pretty bad. Watch you don't catch it or-"

"Yeah, yeah. It'll scar. Stop fussing, I'll be fine." Kai let go of Rei's arm as the waiter appeared with their drinks. (A:N Okay I'm bored with the whole French thing now so I'm just gonna write the English.)

"Are you ready to order?" He asked, smiling at them.

"Yes please, I'll just have a salad," Kai said. As he did, the waiter grabbed a spare chair from the table next to them and sat himself between the two of them.

"Just between you and me the salad's pretty mingin' and it's a HUGE waste of money. But, the soufflé a la reine is delicious." Kai was slightly shocked at this comment but smiled lightly at him.

"I'll go with that then."

"And what can I get for you sir?" He said turning to Rei.

"He'll just have the same as me; we'll be here all week if someone doesn't choose for him." Once again, the waiter smiled at them and went to leave. However, he stopped and turned to face them.

"Oh and I think it's great what you're doing." They were both a little puzzled by what the waiter had said. Kai gave him a strange look and took a sip of his drink.

"You know, still being a couple even in public." Rei blushed slightly whilst Kai choked on his water.

"I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. We're just friends," Rei said quickly.

"Oh, it's just I saw you holding hands a moment ago and…"

"We weren't holding hands," Kai said, still coughing, "I was looking at a cut on his arm."

"Oh dear, I have messed up a little haven't I?" He grinned. "Anyway, for future reference, you look cute together." With that, he left the table, leaving both Kai and Rei totally speechless.

"Let me in you baka!"

"No."

"Oh come on Rei, I wanna see what it looks like."

"You'll laugh at me." Kai held back his giggles.

"You think I'd do something like that?"

"Yes! Kai, I'm not deaf. You're laughing at the thought of it!" Kai took a deep breath and tried to regain his self control.

"Rei, I am NOT going to laugh at you, now let me see." After a few moments of silence, a loud sigh came from Rei's room.

"You better not." He poked his head around the door.

"Oh come on." Rei reluctantly stepped out of his room. To his surprise Kai gasped slightly.

"What do you think?" He said turning on the spot.

"Err… better than I'd expected actually." Kai had no idea why but he couldn't take his eyes off Rei. They had made a deal on the way home. Rei was going to let Kai pick his outfit for tonight, though now he was regretting his decision, as long as Rei could do his hair. So, here he was in a tight plain t-shirt and an even tighter pair of trousers.

"I'll certainly blend in, won't I?" Kai snapped out of his daze.

"Yeah."

"What are you wearing?"

"It's laid out on my bed," Kai answered, getting over his little 'moment'. "I suppose you want to do my hair now?"

"Come on," Rei said pulling Kai into his room, "you'll love what I'm going to do," he smirked.

"Somehow I doubt that."

***

After spending at least half an hour just looking at what he'd done, Rei declared Kai's hair finished. He'd gone for the 'messed up' look and was very pleased with the result.

"Not bad," Kai said looking in the mirror.

"'Not bad'? It's the work of a pure genius!" Rei cried. "It looks great."

"Thanks. Shall we-" He was cut off by a loud impatient knock at the door.

"Who the hell can that be?" Rei whispered. "No one knows we're here."

"Get your gun." Kai made his way to the door as Rei pulled out an innocent looking case from under his bed.

"Shit," he cursed under his breath. He pulled out an empty shotgun and a pistol loaded with a single bullet. Unless they we're going to blow their visitor to pieces with a rocket launcher it was the best he could do. He followed Kai into the living room quietly and threw him the pistol.

"Is this all you've got?" He mouthed.

"Don't moan. Mine's empty." They made their way silently to the door. Rei carefully put his hand on the handle and motioned Kai to get ready.

"One, two, three." He swung the door open and they both took aim.

"Whoa! Guys, it's only us!"

"Tyson, you idiot!"

"It could have been anyone! Kai was ready to pull the trigger."

"Why Kai?" Max asked following Tyson into the room.

"Mine's empty."

"Well it's a good job I'm here then!" Tyson cried, dumping his bag on the table and sitting down on the sofa. Rei and Kai immediately dashed to the bag and began unpacking its contents.

"Is this it?" Kai asked looking disappointedly at a couple of pistols and a Wide shot Shotgun.

"You underestimate us Kai," Max smirked, slightly out of character, and handed him another two large bags. Tyson got up from the couch and joined them at the table.

"This week we have your traditional pistols," he picked up the pistols and began modeling them, "the fabulous Uzis, two revolvers equipped with laser sight, two Desert Eagles and Kai's personal favorite the Grenade Launcher."

"And," Max continued. "The specials for this week are the M-16, the fantastic HK and last but by no means least the incredible,"

"The unbelievable," Tyson added.

"The outstanding," Max paused, "SC-20K!"

"With built in Sniper Mode and as an added bonus we have sticky shockers, sticky cameras, diversion cameras and ring airfoils galore!"

"Have you quite finished?" Kai asked raising an eyebrow.

"We love our job."

"Yes we know."

"Oh yeah!" We've got you plenty of Uzi clips 'cause you two get through them like there's no tomorrow."

"Well, when it's thirty on two the last thing on your mind is tomorrow," Kai stated.

"Wait a minute," Rei said suddenly. "How the hell did you get these through customs?"

"Well," Tyson grinned sheepishly. "We're good but we're not that good."

"So, how did you get here then?" Kai asked suspiciously.

"Well…we err… came on your helicopter."

"WHAT?"

"As you said we'd never had got all this through customs," Tyson tried to defend himself.     

"It's still in one piece isn't it?" Rei checked.

"Don't worry Kai," Max said. "I wouldn't let Tyson near the pilot's seat if my life depended on it. Dimitri flew us over."

"Thank God."

"Right we'll be taking these then," Rei said, picking up one of the bags and taking it to his room. Kai picked up his bag of guns and began to follow Rei. However, he stopped abruptly as a thought came to his head.

"What the bloody hell are you doing here?!"

"We had to bring you those," Tyson said trying to look innocent but failing miserably.

"You don't normally bring our weapons personally. Dimitri always flies them over."

"Look, did you really expect us to miss out on all the fun tonight? We came over as soon as we heard you were going to Soul. Besides you're going to need backup."

"We don't do backup."

"Well you're gonna have to tonight. Soul isn't the easiest place to get into you know and when you do get in you're gonna need help," Max added, a smile on his face.

"And that's what we're here for," Tyson smirked.

I'll leave it there for now. I promise the next chapter will have the gay bar scene in. I've already got it planned and Josie nearly died laughing at it so I'm hoping it's going to be a good one.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review as I love hearing what you think and reading your comments ^^.

Thanks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
