Chapter 11

Next day.

Rei smiled from his position between Tala and Kai, the older two had been two tired when they had got back to do anything which Rei was happy about because he had found that little star on his back which had now started to fade, his idea was clear in his mind, he just hoped that the others would fall for it.

Tala woke up when he felt someone cuddle up closer to him and give a little shiver, he picked up the cover to see Rei curled up tightly seeking heat but he was sweating, turning onto his side he felt Rei's forehead.

"Kitten" he asked as the Neko stirred and blinked sleepily, Amber eyes locked with shy blue.

"yeah" he croaked trying to sound weak and I seemed to be working.

"you alright?" asked Tala.

"everyone keeps asking me that" grinned Rei before a shiver racked his body.

"I know, but can you answer it this time" said Tala smiling fondly.

"I just feel a little off that's all" said Rei moving to snuggle against Tala's chest.

"maybe a shower will make you feel better" suggested Tala, Rei was stopped from answering when they heard Kai shift before the bluenet rolled over and fell off the bed, he sprang awake as he hit the floor. Sitting up he could see Tala and Rei laughing.

"shut up" he muttered as he sat on the bed again and stretched.

"how about you take the kitten or a shower while I'll get us ready for the tournament" said Tala as he picked Rei up, who squeaked in surprise before he was passed to Kai.

'okay" said Kai as Rei curled up into his chest, nearly falling back to sleep by the time they got into the bathroom. Kai turned back to look at Tala "ill?"

"think so" replied Tala as he started getting money together for the fight.

Kai was in the shower with Rei lent up against him as he washed the Neko Jins hair, when a shout went through the room. Kai cringed but carried on washing Rei's hair as a irate Red head came into the bathroom glaring at Kai, who had yet to look at him.

"why is there an entry for a fighter with two spectators?" asked Tala with forced calmness.

"I don't.." started Kai

"do not say that you don't know, Kai Heero Hiwatari" Tala nearly shouted "and don't lie to me"

Kai was startled at Tala shouting his full name, he shifted before replying.

"because I wanted to enter and I have been keeping up my training." He said.

Tala closed his eyes and took a breath. "I knew I should have got them"

Rei cut them off by announcing that he was going to be sick before he lurched for the toilet and threw up.

"I think someone will be staying here today" said Kai as he went to Rei's side.

"two people will be staying here" said Tala looking at Kai.

"come on, I'll pull out if the competition is not to your liking" pleaded Kai.

"I'll be alright on my own, I'll probably just sleep all day anyway" said Rei leaning against Kai "win for us Kai, show them Russian strength"

"I sound out voted" said Tala "alright you can fight but you pull out when I say"

"I will" said Kai as he stood brining Rei with him, he walked into the bedroom while Tala brought some towels. Kai and Tala dried Rei who was trying to keep up the charade of being ill, because the touches the older boys where doing was effecting his body, even though they weren't trying to be. Once they had done, Tala went to get a night shirt, while Kai sat Rei up so he could brush and plate Rei's hair back so he could be comfortable, Tala came back with one of his T-shirts for Rei to wear putting it on the Neko, before settling him in bed.

"are you sure that you'll be alright?" asked Kai.

"fine, get changed before Tala jumps you and you don't get anywhere" said Rei smiling slightly as Kai was still walking around naked and slightly damp from the shower.

"suppose" said Kai as he started to route through the wardrobe looking for something to wear, taking it into the bathroom so he could finish his shower while he was in there.

Tala sat next to Rei who immediately curled up with his head under the red heads chin.

"what's actually wrong?" asked Tala stoking Rei's hair.

"got a headache and stomach ache" murmured Rei.

"we'll see how you are later, if your not any better then we'll see the doctor. If you get worse ring me" said Tala looking down at Rei.

"okay" said Rei sleepily, both turned when Kai walked back in. He was dressed in a version of his old clothes, a tight black muscle top with a pair of light blue cargo trousers, he had one of Rei's plain blue bandanna's to keep his bangs out of his face, around his hands where bound in blue binds.

"well at least you have the look of a fighter" said Tala standing up to let Rei lie on the bed, he curled up against the pillow giving Kai a smile.

"don't get to beaten up" he said.

"don't you have any confidence in me?" pouted Kai sitting next to Rei.

"I have confidence but I also know that if you get hurt you'll keep quiet" said Rei.

"I'll check him over between fights" said Tala.

"we better go, the fights start at 9 and we have to get there yet" said Kai.

"okay, I've got my mobile, yours is on the bedside table next to your head" said Tala before kissing Rei's forehead.

"I'll ask for them to bring some pain killers up for you" said Kai as the couple walked out of the hotel room into the lift.

"I hope he'll be alright" murmured Kai stretching his arms above his head.

"he'll be fine, it's probably the heat yesterday where as we lay in shade after awhile, while he stayed in the sun" said Tala as he lift dinged to signal they where on the level the wanted. Kai walked over to the desk to order the pain killers before the couple started the walk to the club, they met Kay and Frankie on the way.

"you entered" stated Kay looking at Kai

"yeah" replied Kai.

"even after I said he couldn't but he pulls out when I say" stated Tala.

"I'll go easy if we face each other" smiles Frankie.

"don't bother, I can handle my self" said Kai grinning.

"where's the little'en?" asked Kay

"in bed, he's ill" said Tala as they entered the club and Frankie took Kai to where he needed to register but they still had half an hour before the first fights.

The half an hour was up and the fighters were called around the announcer, Kai stood with Frankie as the rules and set out where announced.

"First round will be one on one, winner goes through to face the second round, this is the same until round 4 because of the amount of entrees. Each will fight until we are down to 16 people. You should have four fights each. The fifth round will be doubles, you will be partnered with some one at random to show your co-operation with others. The winning double will go into the 6th round where they will face someone, one on one, winners go to semi-final leading to the final" stated the announcer.

"Rules; No weapons, Now below the belt hits, If one opponent wishes to stop and pull out, then the fight ends. Stop fighting when the bell goes" said the referee "everything straight. Make sure you have you numbers and we shall start."

The bell went up and the fighters when to their own arena's. Tala pushed to sit near where Kai was fighting, the video camera focused on the ring, where Kai number 6 was against number 5 an American called Tyrone Janit.
