The Bladebreakers were lying in the lounge. Rei was sprawled across the 3 seater, and the other hadn't bothered telling him to move. They knew that he wouldn't move for anything. Max and Tyson were half sitting half lying on the 2 seater, Kenny was sitting in the armchair and kai was on the window seat behind the 3 seater. They were watching Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Rei seemed half asleep, but surprised them all when a song by Burt Baccarat came on. He whispered "ooh, I just love this song" rei's eyes closed, and he started to sing along. It was a slow song, and to the others it seemed rei was relating the song to his past.

What do you get when you fall in love

A guy with a pin to burst your bubble

That's what you get, for all your trouble

I'll

Never fall in love again

Don't tell me what its all about

Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out

Out of those chains, those chains that bind you

That is why, I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love

You only get lies and pain and sorrow

So for atleast, until tomorrow

I'll

Never fall in love again

I'll

Never fall in love

Again...

Rei finished softly, and his face, though his eyes were closed, showed the pains of the years. Kai, behind and above rei, could see his face clearly. Suddenly he felt like a bastard, for trying to win rei's love. Rei had had enough heartbreak already, who was he to assume he could send a few cards, let rei connect the dots, and then expect the neko to fall into his arms all loving and caring? Then suddenly kai remembered today's poem. 'crap..' he thought. 'Sparrow is due in 5 minutes.'

As if on cue to his thinking suddenly a midnight black raven came shooting in through the open kitchen window, pulled a sharp turn and fluttered lightly down onto rei's chest. Rei opened his eyes. The raven raised its foot, and tied by a soft black silk ribbon, was todays haiku valentine. Rei took it, and then gently stroked the ravens head, murmuring "aren't you just the sweetest thing? All trained and bringing cards"

The raven cawed softly, then fluttered up. Kai put out his wrist, and raven perched on it. Kai opened the window, and the raven squawked and went swooping out. Kai closed the window calmly, then turned to rei and asked, "aren't you going to read it? You were so excited this morning" rei's eyes lit up as he remembered the card, and he quickly opened the envelope and read the card.

There was another picture, still hand drawn. in this one, the kitten was lying on a soft blanket, and was concentrating on a point just over rei's shoulders. The crimson bird was on a perch just behind the kitten, and it was pretending to watch whatever the kitty was watching. But rei looked closer and he saw that it was actually watching the kitty, like a secret guardian.

The haiku read:

Poor sweet little cat

All heartbroken from lovers

Could you love again?

If I came forth, cat

Would you reject me? Or could

You stand loving me?

Rei smiled happily, and passed it over his shoulder to kai. Kai read over what he had written, and looked down at rei. Rei was smiling and staring dreamily at the wall. Kai smirked, inside he was cheering and partying, rei didn't reject the card! He must like the cards, and want to know me! However, kai passed it over to max and Tyson without any emotion showing.

The other three looked over it, and max said "aww! This pic is so cute! The birdies watching the kitty!" "lemme see" Tyson said. He looked over it, and said "it is too! That's so kawaii!" Then suddenly, through the window that kai had conveniently forgot to close, the raven came swooping back in. it dropped a block or chocolate and two roses, one white and one yellow, on rei's chest. Rei squealed happily and waved to the raven as it went swooping back out.

"mmm! This is my fave chocolate! And these roses are beautiful! Whoever sent these certainly knows my soft spots" rei chirruped happily. Then the phone rang. Kai grabbed it from the holder, which was on the wall about a metre from the window seat.

"hello?" "hey kai! This is Enrique!" "what do you want?" "don't be so nasty! Us majestics are in Japan for the week, and I was inviting the Bladebreakers to come to dinner with us! And don't worry, Johnny wont be coming. His beyblade got trashed in his last match, and him and Robert are staying behind to try fix it"

kai put his hand over the phone, and asked "how do you guys feel about going to dinner with Enrique and oliver tonight?" "sounds great!" rei said, max and Tyson nodding in agreement. Kai looked over at Kenny, who asked "whats happening with Robert and Johnny?" "they're staying behind to fix johnny's beyblade" "I don't feel like a fancy dinner, maybe I'll go over and help them with fixing it" "ok"

kai relayed the replies to Enrique, who told them that a car would come around to pick them up around 7. kai hung up the phone and said to rei, "don't eat all that chocolate, dinners in an hour and a half"

rei nodded and him, max and Tyson rushed off into their rooms to pick out their clothing and eat some of reis chocolate. Kai simply turned and let himself drop out the window. He landed on his feet and then went into the forestry next to their house to find his raven. Sparrow would be wanting his rewards for doing that errand with the valentines and whatnot.
