**A FEW DAYS BEFORE BUT EARLY EVENING**
~WHEREVER REI RESIDES IN CHINA~
~REI'S LIVING ROOM~
The black haired boy had a spacey living room, consisting of wooden floors, a coffee table in the middle, a couch infront to the table, and a porch off to the front. A beautiful light blue vase with decorative designs stood off to the front side, on a tabletop covered in a white linen fabric.
The light blue haired boy ran around Rei's home, asking questions that seem to be non-understandable even if it was recorded and played slowly.
Rei looked on, having a major sweatdrop but then was overcome with worry when Daisuke almost knocked over a priceless vase. The Chinese boy dived to catch it but Daisuke had already done so, putting it back to its correct place.
"What's up?" Daisuke asked as he looked below him, finding Rei sighing with relief.
"Don't do that, Daisuke!" Rei exclaimed as he sat up in an Indian-style, propping both hands on their respective knees. "That's a family heirloom!"
"Ah, don't worry!" Daisuke assured with one of his silly grin that seems to be uncomforting. "It's not like I'll BREAK anything!"
"That's what I'm worried about" Rei said quietly as he got up and dusted himself. "Be more controlling of yourself, Daisuke."
"Yeah, I know" Daisuke waved his left hand dismissively as he continued on touring.
Rei followed closely behind, making sure he does nothing funny.
~KITCHEN~
The kitchen was very simple. A sink that over looks his mini garden in the back, a round about counter running along the white wall, a stove across the sink and a fridge on the left of the stove. A kitchen table beside another porch, doors slightly ajar.
"You live a simple life, Rei!" Daisuke exclaimed as he popped his head in the fridge. "Hmm...I could whip up something...." He mumbled softly as he scanned the fridge's contents.
"What....?" Rei blinked and hovered over Daisuke's right shoulder. "You mean, YOU'RE making dinner??"
Daisuke shifted his head to look at Rei and grinned, "If you allow me too! It won't take much of your food, though!"
Rei took a step back and sighed. "Just don't burn the place down. Anyways, I still have to show you your room."
"Yup!" Daisuke closed the fridge door and grinned broadly. "Lead the way!"
~GUEST ROOM~
The guest room was simple as well, having a simply made bed on the right when you enter, a dresser with a built in mirror in the center, and another porch on the left. The walls were lotus colored.
Daisuke pranced over to the bed, plopped down on it, sliding off his duffle strap, dropping it to the floor, and grinned like there was no tomorrow.
"So can I get started, Rei?" Daisuke asked as he took off his sleeveless white hoodless cloak and laid it at the end of the bed. He then rolled up his teal turtleneck shirt, getting ready.
Rei pondered for awhile and nodded, "Whenever you-"
The anxious boy left before Rei could even finish his sentence. He blinked once, letting the action register and then reacted.
"That boy has a short patience!" Rei stated as he left the guest room, planning check on Daisuke.
~KITCHEN~
The Chinese boy blinked right after Daisuke had shooed him out of his own kitchen.
"What's the big idea??" Rei demanded an answer.
"It's only fair! I'm returning the favor!" Daisuke grinned as he searched around the kitchen for bowls and such.
"What...favor?" Rei finally asked, at lost as he settle down on the couch. "Only fair?
"You scolded my about the vase so I'm returning it and letting me stay here for a night, of course!" Daisuke replied with exasperation. "Forgotten already, Rei??"
"Oh, yeah...."
CLUNK! CLUNK! CLUNK!
"What was that?!" Rei asked concerned as he jumped up from the sofa. "Daisuke?"
Daisuke popped his head out the door way, holding up a butcher knife in his right hand.
"Hehe" Daisuke grinned, moving his wrist that held the knife, slightly.
Rei went wide-eyed with a sweatdrop, unsure if he did the right thing to let the boy make dinner.
"That was only the wood cutter board being banged by this butcher knife!" Daisuke explained. He then popped his head back into the kitchen.
"Ehehehe......."Rei's dry laughter died as soon as the cooker popped his head back in. The Chinese boy slouched on the couch with a sigh as he rested his left hand over his eyes, expecting the place to burn to a crisp. (Some trust, Rei! Rei: I don't know the kid that well! Daisuke: I'm not a kid!!)
**30 MINUTES LATER**
His stomach rumbled in hunger as Rei waited whenever Daisuke was done. All he was doing was staring out in the porch and taking short naps for the half past hour.
The boy popped his head out once more, this time no butcher knife, and announced, "Dinner's ready!!"
"Great! I'm starving!" Rei once again jumped from the sofa and strolled quickly to the kitchen.
"Viola, dinner is served!" Daisuke jerked his left hand outward to the kitchen table with two bowls, two pair of chopsticks, two spoons (Asian style) and optional adding ingredients.
"What did you make??" Rei questioned as he seated himself on the right, blinking away at the preparation.
"It's hot noodle!" Daisuke answered, sitting down next to Rei. "Squeeze a cut lime, add some Hosin Sauce and maybe the spicy sauce to your own taste buds!"
"I don't recall having any Hosin Sauce or the spicy one....." Rei said as he squeezed a cut lime into the bowl, a spoonful of the brownish-black Hosin sauce and little bit of the spicy sauce.
"'Cause you don't" said Daisuke as he did the same but adding a spoon and a half of Hosin Sauce, half a spoon of the spicy sauce. "I bought some along just in case!" He picked up his pair of wooden chopsticks and the spoon, stirred the bowl's content to mix it up evenly.
"O....kay." Rei did the same and took the first bite. He blinked several times, amazed at how tasty the noodle was. "Wow, this is delicious, Daisuke!"
"It should be!" Daisuke grinned as he drank the liquid and then munched on the noodle.
-And I thought he'd burned the house down!- Rei grinned equally and continued on eating with great enthusiasm.
**10 MINUTES LATER**
"You gotta show me how you made that Daisuke!" Rei urged as he helped putting the bowls in the sink.
"Sure whenever!" Daisuke grinned and turned the water on, planning to clean it.
"Oh, I'll do that" Rei offered.
"Alright, then." The boy nodded and Rei took his place.
Daisuke moved aside collecting his two sauces and placed it in one of the cabinets.
"You're giving me those?" Rei asked as he heard a nearby cabinet closed shut.
"Yeah, since you will probably be needing it" Daisuke smirked gleefully, taking a washcloth from the kitchen counter and cleaned the kitchen table in a circular motion.
"Yeah..." Rei agreed as he finished washing the dishes. -It's hard to believe a kid like him possess a powerful bit beast...-
**A FEW HOURS LATER**
~IN REI'S ROOM~
He plopped on the bed, arms and legs sprawled apart, with a sigh of relief. After a few moments of rest, Rei sat up, already in deep thinking.
-Daisuke is a strange kid......- Rei turned his head to the left, a wall there but on the other side is the guest room where Daisuke is at. -Isn't HE supposes to be my enemy? But instead he is my odd friend. I dunno if he regards me the same way though.....Might as well think him of whatever he thinks of me.- He shook his head and smirked. -He IS a good cooker like I am. I just hope we don't have to go against each other in the Tournament. Daisuke will beat me for sure. But then, I can always train with the White Tigers. However they aren't even as half as high as Daisuke's ranking, or so he says.- Rei fell back on the bed, exhausted all of a sudden. -So much to think about. I might as well head back to Japan to train with Tyson and the others. Speaking of them, I wonder how they're doing?- (That's a lot to think about don't you agree?)
After a while, Rei fell asleep in the same position he plopped himself onto the bed.
~IN DAISUKE'S GUEST ROOM~
Daisuke dumped himself forward on the bed, already closing his eyes with a wide grin.
-Rei's not bad as bad as he seems to be!- Daisuke flopped onto his back, staring up at the white ceiling, with a rather distant brown eyes. -I shouldn't be so friendly to him....Master Voltaire and Sir Ken wouldn't be too pleased if they found out. Neither will Keisuke.....This friendship will only cause me trouble when the Duo Tournament arrives. And I know for certain if Master Voltaire or Sir Ken found out, they'd replace me with......- He jerked a pillow from under his head and rammed it on his face, blocking out the moonlight that peered in through the porch doors. -...HIM. ARGH!! I hate HIM! He's the main reason why Keisuke and I are wrapped up in this! If he and Sir Ken didn't found us, I think me and my sis would have a great life. Not a gloom and doom one like Keisuke turned out to be! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF HIM! HIM! HIM!- Daisuke shook the pillow off his face and flung it hard across the room.
THUD!
He sat up and sighed, surprised at his own actions and then glared deathly at the floor. Daisuke dropped back onto the bed and heaved a sigh of weariness. He tugged the light blanket beneath him and covered himself up, slowly drifting off to sleep. -I'll deal whatever I have to do later. Right now..............Sleep is the best thing for me.- (Maybe this is more that Rei's thinking....)
~REI'S ROOM~
THUD!
He cracked open his red-brown eyes, wondering what had caused that muffled sound.
-Daisuke must've fallen out of bed in his sleep......- Rei concluded mentally. -Hope he's alright.-
Rei then closed his heavy eye lids, falling back to sleep again.
