Chapter 6 - Relationships revealed
(((Normal POV)))
The night had gone on as any normal one would. Sleeping arrangements were made and the girls and boys said their good nights.
The Demolition Boys gave up their room, only because Tala refused to let Korimi sleep with Rei. Spike went with Bryan and Tala as they entered Kai's and Rei's room only to see that it was already somewhat crowded.
"Well how are we going to make this work out? " Rei asked as he watched Spike look around the room for a spot to sleep.
" Well if you don't mind sleeping with a wolf I can change so I won't take up as much room…" Spike offered making Bryan, Ian, and Spencer look at him questionably. Spike decided it would be best to show them now rather then later.
Spike stood in front of the glass sliding door preventing anything in or out. A yellow light surrounded Spike as he kneeled down to one knee and slowly changed into his wolf form. His body shrank as his bones adjusted to one of a canine.
Ian cringed slightly as he saw Spike's face stretch and saw the muzzle of a dog form. Slowly his body was covered with fur and his legs and arms changed to those of the wolf.
Suddenly they were face to face with a wolf who was covered in black with the exception of his tail, which had a tip of white to it.
" Does that hurt as much as it looked? " Ian said as Spike walked over to Ian and nuzzled his head into Ian's chest. Spike looked at the others and merely shrugged off Spencer's and Bryan's shocked expressions. Rei shook his head and got into his sleeping bag since he offered Tala and the others his bed.
Spike walked over next to Rei and curled up by his side, quickly falling asleep next to the neko-jin.
" Guess that transformation really can it outta him. " Rei said as he took some of the bandages Kai always stored and walked back over to Spike.
" What do you need those for? " Kai asked raising his eyebrow as he watched Rei take Spike's front left leg and apply some medicine to it causing the wolf to whimper slightly.
" He never patched up the gash on his arm. Or should we say his front left leg in this case. " Rei said as he wrapped the leg in the bandage leaving the wolf's breathing returning to normal.
"He's probably dreaming about getting dog treats or something…," Kai said as he watched Spike's tail wag slightly.
" Let's just get some sleep ok? " Rei offered as he pat Spike on the head one final time before falling into a peaceful sleep.
Tala and the others soon followed after Rei, letting sleep overcome them.

Catty and Kitty we're talking to Kitsume and Korimi through the joined room. The girl's left the bathroom door open so they could see each other and laid down on the beds.
…
Well let's rephrase that…
They let us have their room after seeing Tyson and Max's room and pitied having to clean the living room if they got to sleep in it. Since they rotated cleaning duty between teams to help leave the suite somewhat presentable. Ian ran from the room, Bryan didn't even look inside, Spencer went to his room and Tala merely looked like a fish outta water. Their room was a mess! Even Max's side was somewhat clean, compared to Tyson's.
Catty and Kitty shared Tala and Bryan's room and Kitsume and Korimi shared Spencer and Ian's. For some reason they felt like having a sleepover in Kai and Rei's room so the girls didn't question them. Korimi refused to sleep in Bryan's room, mostly because she wanted to destroy all of his stuff but Catty wouldn't allow that.
Catty stretched out on Tala's bed just about ready to pass out when Kitty suddenly walked over and nudged her shoulder.
" hn? " Catty said as she rolled over and brought the covers closer to her.
" Do you think that it's safe having Tala and Rei in the same room? What if Tala gets his full memory back and tries to get Rei in his sleep for wanting to marry --- "
" Don't worry about it Kitty. If anything, Tala would see it as a dream. We can tell him later that it was a memory and not a dream. Plus, I think we can trust him not to lash out at Rei in the middle of the night with the rest of his team and Kai there." Catty said as she snuggled deeper into the covers.
Kitty sighed and walked back over to Bryan's bed and climbed into it. ' I can't believe Catty holds that much faith in Tala. I mean her brother is her only family that she has left. ' Kitty thought as she looked over at Catty then decided to go to bed.

Kitsume watched Korimi as she laid down in Ian's bed and stared at the ceiling.
"So what did you and Rei do in your lil alone time? " Kitsume asked gaining Korimi attention as she nearly fell outta her bed.
" What do you think we… KITSUME!! " Korimi yelled as she grabbed one of her pillows and threw it in her face.
"Ah so what did ya'll talk about? " Kitsume asked as she threw the pillow back.
" He asked some questions and I either answered them or completely ignored them. Hope I didn't disappoint you. " Korimi said in a sarcastic tone. Kitsume shook her head and watched Korimi fall asleep on her bed.
" Well at least he has the idea that the two of you were together. " Kitsume said, as she looked at the ceiling then the clock. She thought about the memories she had awoken from and tried to piece everything together as sleep overtook her.

Catty stood on the roof looking at the sky as the sun rose. Sighing to herself, she sat down and stared off into space. Her thoughts drifted to last things her brother had said to her before he was reborn.
(Flashback)
"Catty whatever you do, please take care of your team. Korimi won't take our deaths too well. " Rei said looking from Tala to himself, then back to his baby sister.
"You'll come back right Rei-san? " Catty said through choked tears.
Rei simply smiled and kissed his sister on the forehead and held onto her lovingly.
"You're my baby sister. I have to come back and make sure no one picks on you " Rei managed to say as Korimi ran over to them and grabbed his hand.
"Rei…"
Rei looked at Korimi as she looked from him to her fallen brother.
" Tala-san? "
Catty watched as Korimi cried her eyes out as the two were carried away by their spirits.
" REI!!! TALA!!! " Korimi yelled as she began to run after them only to be stopped by Catty.
"Catty?"
(End Flashback)
"Catty? "
Catty turned to see Kai walking over to where she was sitting on the ledge.
" What's the cat doing out without her own jacket? " Kai said as he watched her slightly shiver.
" What's triangle boy doing out here with his hair still wet? " Catty said gently pulling on some of Kai's still-wet hair.
" Well what are you doing out in only a tank top, shorts, and damp hair? " Kai shot back.
" Mine only looks wet because of the fog. Plus it's 79 degree's out here, nothing big. " Catty said calmly.
Kai merely stood next to her and stared.
" You come out here often? " Catty asked as Kai fell silent. The wind picked up causing it to seem a lil colder then it really was.
Catty slightly jumped as a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist and pulled her back.
" Did I scare you kitten? " Kai smirked as Catty slightly tensed then relaxed against him.
"Not at all. " Catty said only to feel Kai rest his chin on her shoulder.
" Good." He said watching the sunrise.
The two remained how they were for a good 10 mins until the rain clouds started to gather around. Catty looked up at the sky as the rain started to sprinkle before it started to down pour.
Catty went to move but Kai refused to move or even let go of her.
"Kai? C'mon I want to go inside. " Catty said as she tried to loosen his grip from around her waist but all he did was hold onto her even tighter.
" Just wait. " Kai whispered into her ear.
" Huh? Kai what are you? " Catty was cut off as she was pulled of the ledge and pinned against the ground.
"KAI! What do you think you're doing?!" Catty snapped at the crimson eyed Russian.
Kai leaned down until their noses barely touched as whispered something in her ear.

Korimi sat at the dinner table in the kitchen eating a pop-tart peacefully until Rei walked in and pecked her on the cheek. Though she was glad that Rei remembered enough to show feelings towards her, she choked on a piece of the pop-tart leaving Rei to chuckle slightly.
" Calm down there Korimi. " Rei smiled as Korimi cleared her throat and glared at Rei.
" Don't do that! " Korimi yelled at Rei.
" What? Walk in on you outta the blue or kiss you? " Rei said playfully.
'Yup he has his memory back… he's a smart ass again…'
" Wait…" Korimi said as her eyes widened slightly.
" Sorry it took a while… " Rei said as he leaned in and kissed Korimi passionately.
" Ah-hem! " Tala glared at Rei they finished their lil kiss. " I was sure glad for the gap. " Tala said walking over to Korimi and pulling her chair back away from Rei.
" Aww isn't that great. Right when Korimi gets Rei back big brother remembers as well. " Spike laughed as Korimi turned bright red.
" SPIKE!!!!!!! " Korimi yelled and got up from her chair and tried to get to Spike, only to have Tala remember his lil gift and froze her feet to the ground.
" TALA!!! " Korimi yelled at her brother. Tala merely smirked and shook his head.
" Remember I agreed when you got your gift to use fire to use ice to cool you down. " Tala chuckled to himself as his sister glared daggers at him.
" But couldn't you do that AFTER I beat up Spike? " Korimi whined but Tala didn't listen. Rei sat on the side lines and smiled as Korimi kept on trying to get her feet free by melting the ice only to have Tala freeze her feet AGAIN!
Bryan merely stood a good distance away video taping everything that happened. It would prove use later to tease Korimi with.
Everyone laughed waking up the others and adding to the commotion going on in their suite.

Kai stared Catty in the eyes before leaning down and capturing her lips and licking her bottom lip. Catty merely laid there in shock. Even in the past, she had never really had a relationship with the phoenix and he wasn't even in the war so how did HE die?
Though Catty was greatly confused she granted the phoenix access and battled against him. Sure she never had a relationship, but that never ment that she never had some feelings for the guy.
The two shared their own battle for dominance only having Kai come out on top. Catty had decided that their lil 'moment' had been progressing enough that it HAD to stop before they went a lil TOO far. Catty relaxed and let her body slip into the concrete and appeared on the ledge again.
Kai stared then looked where the sound Catty's voice and smirked.
" So you could've stopped anytime you wanted? Interesting." Kai said as he got up and walked inside.
Catty blinked a couple times then it dawned on her.
"HIWATARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Catty chased in after Kai as they entered the suite. Kai merely leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. Catty stormed in after him completely drench and strolled over to phoenix and went to walk past him and placed her foot next to his.
" Don't play with me Hiwatari…" Catty said before she tripped the phoenix and pointed her index finger in his face.
Rei and the others watched from the kitchen hearing everything they said.
"Catty … what are you doing?…" Kai said as a lil blue light appeared from her fingertip.
" Fireball! " Catty had the spark explode in his face leaving him a lil singed, nothing bad. His clothes suddenly looked a lil burnt but he was fine.
Catty blew the tip of finger like it was a gun and walked into Tala and Bryan's room before slamming the door shut and sitting down the bed.
Kai looked at the kitchen doorway and saw many people trying to contain their laughter but not succeeding very well at it.
" Shut up. " Kai muttered as he left for his room and closed his door.
As the door shut, the suite erupted into laughs with people doubling over and holding their sides or onto whatever or whoever was next to them. But they all eventually fell to the floor.
