Rei's POV
I held the phone in my hand for a good ten minutes, you would to if Kai Hiwatari had just phoned you and invited you over to his house for a sleepover. I had to double check that that was actually what he was doing, I mean this was Kai the last person on the planet that you would ever expect to be hosting a sleepover. I smiled and placed the phone back on the hook, I couldn't believe that I was going to a sleepover at Kai's house. I had to be honest that I loved the thought of getting away from this dump, away from my stepfather, spending a night with Kai. Yeah I liked that thought.
I walked over to my cupboard and opened the door, I found my backpack and filled it with clothes. I then walked over to my bed and picked up the first aid box, I took out the antiseptic, the cotton pads and the bandages and placed them into my bag. I smiled when I saw Drigger sat on my nightstand and placed him in my pocket, I still couldn't believe that two days ago at the training session at Kai's I had forgotten him. That had been the most embarrassing day of my life, I knew that I'd have to be careful around Kai, it was obvious that he hadn't brought my excuse but I was amazed that any of them had. Well actually that's not true, I expected Tyson to buy it, maybe Max but Kenny? I thought he was smarter than that. I laughed at the thought and filled my bag with the other essentials that I would need tonight, after that there was only one thing left for me to do. Tell my dad that I was going, I took a deep breath and grabbed my bag as I walked out of the room.
I slowly descended the stairs, as I stepped into the hall I saw that he was sat in the kitchen reading the newspaper with a bottle of beer. I looked at my watch, it was half five in the afternoon and I had to be at Kai's for six, I didn't want to be late again. I sighed and stepped into the kitchen, I stood in the doorway but he didn't notice me.
"Uh... dad" he looked up at me his eyes puffy and bloodshot, I could smell him from where I was stood and he stunk to high heavens. He was repulsive and I wanted to back away but stood my ground.
"What?" he took another swig of his beer but it looked like he got more down his front than he did in his mouth.
"I'm going to Kai's" he pushed his chair away from the table and stood up, as he closed the gap between us the stench of beer and rum and various other alcoholic drinks became stronger and even more unbearable. I didn't move, if I did try to move away he'd hit me for sure. What would my excuse be this time?
"For how long?"
"Uh...the night, it's a sleepover" I explained, I cowered slightly when I noticed his eyes narrow and his hands turn to clenched fists
"You can't go" he turned away and walked back over to the table
"I already excepted" he spun on his heel, growling angrily at what I had just said
"Well tell them that something came up and you can't make it"
"I can't, I wanna go"
"Oh you want to go do you?" I nodded and backed away from him wondering if I could make it out of the door before things turned ugly, the answer was no. He grabbed hold of my arm and twisted it behind my back, I screamed out in pain as he tightened his grip around my injured arm. I slipped onto the floor flinching in pain as I fell onto an old bruise, I screamed again when he grabbed hold of my other arm and pulled me up from the floor. I sighed in relief when he released his grip but after a few minutes he grabbed hold of my shirt and pushed me up into the wall, my back was throbbing with pain and I couldn't hold back my cries. I felt tears slip out of my eyes and slide down my face, I didn't know what was going to happen but I was praying that it would all turn out ok.
All I had wanted was to go to Kai's, who could blame me? Who would stay here with him when they had the opportunity to get away? I saw his hand turn into a fist and closed my eyes as I waited for the impact and that's when it happened, the one and only break I had ever received, the phone rang. He growled and dropped me on the floor I flinched in pain as my head hit against the wall but sighed in relief at how lightly I'd gotten off. I watched him as he walked into the lounge and picked up the phone, I could tell from his reaction that it was my mom and remembered that she was coming home in a few days. I smiled and used the wall to push myself up from the floor, I stumbled over to the coat rack and placed my coat around my shoulders, I grabbed my bag and slowly walked over to the door. I opened it just in time to see my taxi pull up in the driveway, I smiled again and ran out into the cold wind slamming the door behind me.
Kai's POV
I stood infront of the window waiting for my 'guests' to arrive, I knew that I was going to live to regret doing this, but I had to do it, for Rei's sake. I looked over my shoulder and saw Tala layering the fire, I laughed when he finally gave up and watched Norman take over, he had it lit within minutes.
"I could have done that with a bit more time" Tala pouted when he looked at the roaring fire infront of him
"Of course master Ivanov, but your guests will be here soon and I wanted to warm the house a little" Norman explained and bowed as he left the room, I smiled when I saw Tala fall back into my chair
"Stupid fire, it's out to get me! Your whole house is out to get me Hiwatari" he growled angrily and folded his arms tightly across his chest
"You look like a spoilt child" He looked up at me and stuck his tongue out before bursting into laughter.
"Your nervous" he walked over to the window and looked out onto the drive as I was doing.
"I have to get him to talk to me"
"You will your good at that kind of thing"
"What does that mean?"
"Well your persuasive and you've been through that kind of torment, we all have" I caught his gaze and he looked serious, for the first time since he had come to stay with me he looked serious. "If anyone can help him through this, it's you" I smiled at him and he smiled back, it was nice to know that someone had faith in me. We both turned our eyes to the window and saw three taxis pull up in the driveway, "Their heeree" Tala joked as we walked over to the door. I hit his arm playfully and opened the door to see Max and Tyson get out of the first car.
"I cannot believe that he, is throwing a sleepover" Tyson joked and pointed at me, I looked over at Tala but he had disappeared. Oh right he wanted to be a surprise to my guests more specifically he wanted to be a surprise for Tyson, I wondered how he'd make his entrance. I smiled at the list of ways that he could possibly surprise the holder of the Dragoon bit beast.
"Master Kai would you like me to get their bags?" I turned to see Norman stood next to me I smiled and shook my head. That's when I remembered about Rei, I watched and saw him step out of the third car, I wasn't going to embarrass him by only letting Norman bring in his bags but I was still annoyed at Tyson.
"Actually Norman, could you bring in everyone's except for the boy in the red, white and blue baseball cap, he can carry his own" Norman laughed and nodded at me before stepping out into the cold winds. It was a good minus 10 degrees c out there and there had even been talk of snow but I doubted that, it was weird, yesterday it had been sunny and warm.
A few minutes later everyone was stood around the fire trying to warm themselves up, I wondered where Tala was and how he would make his entrance. I hoped he didn't make too much of a scene but this was Tala I was talking about.
"So what are we going to do now?" I snapped back to reality to see Max stood next to me with a huge smile spread across his face. To be honest I didn't have a clue what we were going to do now, Tala said that he would help me with that, but he had disappeared.
"Take your time with that Kai, I'm going to see what you've got in the fridge" I watched as Tyson wandered into the kitchen and figured that it probably wasn't a good idea to leave him in there alone.
"So, um where are we going to sleep?" I looked at Rei and smiled at the question, which caused him to blush ever so slightly. I couldn't help but think about how incredibly cute he looked at that moment, even with the two purple bruises on his jaw he was still the most beautiful person I had ever seen.
"Well, we can sleep down here, or I could take you for a tour round the house and you could choose a room to stay in for the night" I watched as he pondered over the answer for a while, he looked so cute when he was thinking. No, he looked cute no matter what he was doing.
"Uh, I'll sleep down here" I smiled at the mental image I received of Rei curled up infront of the fire.
"TALASINTHEKITCHENANDHEHASAKNIFETALASINTHEKITCHENANDHEHASAKNIFETALASINTHEKITCHENANDHEHASAKNIFE!!!!!" We all turned to see Tyson running out of the kitchen like a rambling madman, oh wait, he was a rambling madman.
"What?" Kenny, Max and Rei chorused as there friend screamed and waved his arms at them, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down before continuing with what he was saying.
"Tala, from the demolition boys, is in Kai's kitchen, with a knife" I couldn't help but laugh at Tala's comic genius, never in a million years would I have thought that he would be hiding out in the kitchen with a knife just waiting for Tyson to walk in. He'd probably even positioned himself so that the light would bounce off of the knife and into Tyson's eyes as he held it infront of his face in the pitch black kitchen. I wished that I could have been there to see Tyson's look, it would have been priceless. Now I was just waiting on the follow up, what was Tala going to do next? This was his art, he loved to scare people like this, in the most innocent way possible, I had to admit, it was very effective and Tyson here was living proof of that.
"AAAHHHH TAAALLLAAA!" My gaze moved from Tyson to the door that led to the kitchen, sure enough there was Tala, he held a large sterling silver knife in his right hand and had his left concealed behind his back. His ice blue eyes were menacing in the dim light and he had the smile of a lunatic.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!" the rest of the group joined in with Tyson's screaming and I tried to hold back my laughter until Tala had finished with his little game.
"What's wrong guy's? I just wanted to ask you if you's like a piece of cake" he removed his left hand from where it was concealed behind his back and showed the group the chocolate cake that had been hidden until then. His eyes had loosened up and his smile was more welcoming than it had been five minutes ago. I stifled the laugh that was threatening to erupt from my mouth and expose Tala's 'little game' for all it was. Tala smiled at them and placed the cake down on the table "are you sure you don't want some, it's real good" he said as he sliced into the chocolate sponge cake. Tyson stared down at the cake, drool had started to collect around his mouth and it was obvious to everyone that he was starving. He moved closer to where Tala was cutting the cake and bent down to smell it.
"Umm, smells delish, I'll have some" Tyson turned and smiled at Tala and in turn Tala smiled back.
"See, I can be nice" Tala smiled at the group as Tyson took a bite out of the cake
"Umm, guys this is great, you should try some" Tala laughed quietly to himself as he walked back into the kitchen, he wasn't done yet, what was he up to this time? "Umm this really is delicious, come on Maxie have a piece" Max shook his head declining his friends offer Tyson just shrugged and went back to eating the cake.
"I'm soo sorry Tyson" the room fell silent and everyone turned to face Tala
"What for Tala? This is great, did you make it?"
"Yeah but, I got the sugar mixed up with the rat poison" Tyson's face dropped at the mention of the word poison, this was great, Tala was using the one thing Tyson loved the most (food) to scare him witless.
"Rat poison?" Tala nodded sorrowfully, I was amazed that he was managing to keep a straight face this was hilarious. I glanced around the room to see Max and Kenny staring on in shock, but Rei, Rei was laughing. He'd figured out that it was all just a game, of course he would, he's too smart to fall for something like this. Tyson on the other hand was starting to complain that the room was spinning and that he felt like he was drifting in and out of consciousness.
"Ha!" Tala laughed and pulled out a disposable camera he hit the button and smiled down at Tyson who was now squirming around on the floor asking for medical attention. "Now that's what I call a Kodak moment"
"What?" Tyson asked as he stood up and looked at Tala "wait a minute I feel fine"
"I would say April fools, but it's not April" Tala shrugged and smiled at the distraught bladebreaker stood infront of him.
"Tala!" Tyson growled and shook his fist in Tala's face, Tala narrowed his ice blue eyes and Tyson yelped in fear and went and hid behind Max. "Save me Maxie" he whispered to the blonde blader, Max sighed and rubbed his temples
"What's Tala doing here anyway Kai?" I looked over at Kenny and then at Tala
"Oh he killed this guy and now he's wanted by the FBI and the CIA not to mention the BBA so I told him that he could hide out here" everyone laughed and me and Tala raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I was being serious" they all laughed nervously and backed away from us as if we were completely crazy, I laughed inwardly, Tala was right, it was fun to torment the bladebreakers.
"Are we going to stand on opposite sides of the room for the whole night or are we going to get this party started?" Tala asked and winked at Rei, which caused him to blush. I turned to face Tala and shot him a death glare, he just shrugged it off and lent into me "what's that about?" he whispered quietly referring to the death glare I had given him.
"Screw you Ivanov!" I shouted angrily and pushed him away from me as I walked into the kitchen
"Calm down Kai" I ignored Tala and slammed the door behind me, I didn't really know what that had been about. I just didn't like the thought that someone other than me had made Rei blush.
"What was that about?"
"What's wrong with Kai?"
"Is he ok?"
"For god's sake what did you say to him Tala?" the last voice was Rei's nice to know that he wasn't blushing at Tala anymore. I smiled and walked over to the sink I poured a glass of water and drank it quickly before walking out of the kitchen and down the hall that led to my bedroom, I was angry and needed to unwind a little before I returned to the party.
Nikki: well there's the third chappie, I'm sorry if Kai was a little ooc, I promise that he'll be back to his usual ice king self in the next chappie, well for half of it anyway, actually I don't think I'm going to make any promises. I tend to break them, like when I promised my English teacher that I'd hand my homework in tomorrow, isn't gonna happen.
Tala: what was that homework about anyway?
Nikki: how am I supposed to know
