Chapter Twelve

A hard day for Kai

-#- Kai didn't miss it; that Rei behaved very strange and watched him, how he opened the letter and read the less lines. "I shall go back to heaven." -#-

Kai watched Rei how he put his written order back into the envelope and hid it under his shirt. He didn't seem to be happy about going home but the slate haired demon shouldn't have an interest in this affair. It shouldn't concern him.

"Well, it has to be about three months since I went on my mission. I guess I will take my free time there." The angel wanted to go his way, but Kai stood in his path.

"Get out of my way. God wants to talk with me."

"You don't seem to be delighted about having a meeting with him." Okay, Rei wasn't a good liar, but did Kai have to state the obvious so clear? The Chinese looked at him startled; he wasn't sure what to say to this till both of them heard a very clamorous voice, which approached them closer and closer.

"Reiii! Where aaaare youuuu?!?"

'Oh no! That's Mariah!' Rei spun his head to the right and left side , but there was no way out but the way out of the stadium, which Kai was blocking right now, and the other was the one in which the pink haired girl was coming up to them in less than one minute. What do you think? Which path he will choose now?

Shoving Kai aside he fled through the passage to the light at the end of it didn't perceive the other foot steps behind him.

"REIII! Why are you running away?!"

'No! She is coming near!' As fast as possible he reached the exit and turned round the corner while he concentrated for a spell he mumbled silently for leaving the earth. A white haze enveloped him or rather he ran into it, disintegrated him half. Soon he would be back to the place he called home.

Suddenly someone grabbed his still present left hand and made him whirl around startled to see Kai with his emotionless face and this stern gaze in his ruby eyes.

"What!"

More words weren't able to come out of the neko-jin's mouth, because he already disappeared in this mist and dragged his captain involuntarily with him into it. When both Bladebreakers dissolved completely in the air, Mariah appeared at the exit, being confused to not see Rei anymore.

"Where is Rei and the disgusting person who ran after him?!"

Well, we would also want to know this gladly -

In the arena

"And the winner is: MAAAAAX!!!! XD " informed DJ to the public with his cheery voice and congratulated our favourite blonde on his victory against Michael (Max is my second/third preferred character XD explanations later).

"Max! °0° " cried Tyson excited for his friend and ran right into his arms and rising him upwards.

"WAI! Tyson! Let me down! °° What shall the people think!!"

"I give a damn about them! XD Nobody will take my luck I now share with you!"

"Tyson... o.o " Max got a blush at Tyson's words and saw in his with joy radiating face.

"You're so light as if you've got wings!"

"Ha. Ha. Really funny." answered Max sarcastically and gave his lover a light clout, which induced him to set him down on the ground again.

"Do you want to go to your mother?" asked the blue haired and pointed at the adverse team, changing with Max a nose rub. The blonde nodded happily and dragged Tyson by his hand after him, while he waved his mother a blissful 'hello'.

Somewhere high above

The white haze, which had enveloped both boys, cleared again and disclosed the slate haired a picture of a quite different region with a soft ground, the demon found out. With shaky legs Kai stood on this slightly sinking in subsoil, which is why he had to seize Rei's wrist for not falling on his nose. The angel on the other hand just gaped at his captain aghast, mouth wide open and eyes as big as plates; he managed barely to set his feet right, therewith he wouldn't be knocked down by Kai.

"Wha...whawha.what are you doing HERE?!?"

The neko-jin couldn't put this idea into his head, why Kai suddenly took his hand and went along with him! He had planned to go home alone and not have HIM to accompany him on his short journey.

A demon, in heaven! Such a thing didn't happen before for sure! The apprehension was imminent getting tremendous trouble, if his fellow angels heard this; that he has dragged a demon with him into their realm.

Rei touched his forehead and didn't really know what he should do now.

In the meanwhile Kai finally got used to the surface, which turned out to be simple white clouds, on which they stood. Small wonder that he felt insecure to find a support let alone to walk on it. But it wasn't nearly a reason, to hold Rei's hand any longer.

"KAI!! Are you out of your mind?!?! What seized you to cling yourself to me?!"

But Rei didn't get anything but a glare as response from the Russian and backed a bit away. He didn't understand the world anymore! He didn't understand this boy!

"Master?" Rei turned around and caught sight of a tall slim man, hair as white as snow, which fell over his shoulder, and a face, which seemed to be always worried for someone. Here it was for Rei.

"Jun, how many times did I tell you, not to address me with 'master'!"

"But master! I was allocated to you by will and should support you in all situations! ó.ò "

"Oh Jun..."

Kai observed the two and could only think, that this man was no one else than the little messenger, who brought Rei this message. While Rei tried to make clear to his 'servant', that he was his friend and not his subordinate, Kai tried to walk on this spongy ground, let him be ever looking so clumsy When he got slowly the feeling for this, he looked around more accurate. Everywhere there was this white landscape to be seen, on which arched gates and less sporadic houses sprouted like flowers. Only the colours were missing...

'What's this?' he asked himself, when he found a field a few meters before his feet, which changed his mind at once. A not very big pink square was found on the floor like it was stamped, in the midst of this white ocean. When he approached it and stood right before of it...:

'That's really disgusting. The pure eye-complaint.' You could say that this wasn't surely his favourite colour. Kai wanted to go further, when he heard the voice of Rei in the back, who found out through Jun, that it wasn't such a rarity having demons in heaven.

"Don't Kai! Don't step further! =0= " But the Russian didn't listen to him and stepped on this unusual surface. All of a sudden a crawling made its way down his spine, made him stand still, and without warning, his wings appeared in the stand-by-mode. But something was different.

"Ha! That's what happens, if you don't listen to me!"

"What the heck...!" This made Kai totally speechless.

Then it wasn't that difficult to recognize, that Kai's normally black wings radiated in the most queer pink, that it almost hurt in the eyes.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but this colour won't leave you till the next colour field."

At once the Chinese was seized by the collar and raised in the air a little, with a lack of air.

"Re. Move. This." hissed Kai with a silent menacing voice and came nearer to Rei's face. The neko-jin struggled in Kai's grip, and placed his hands on the one of the other and attempted to release them from him.

"I...coughs I cannot. That's one of God's works for the diversion of the rookies. LET ME GO!"

"MASTER!!!" Jun ran to Rei's aid, when he saw what Kai was doing to his little master, and snatched him away out of the demon's clutches.

"Don't you dare touch my master one more time!"

"Jun, let it be!" Rei raised a hand to his throat, the grip of Kai was that tight.

"But master!"

"And stop calling me 'master'!" Rei turned his head again to the pink wings and wasn't nearly able to stop himself from starting to laugh. It really looked too funny! X3 Kai just thought, what crappy ideas their head has planned.

"Jun, before I go to our Lord, I will have a look at my home. Please inform him of that."

"Yes, my..."

"Jun...!!"

"Uhm, I mean, Rei-san."

"Well, that's better than before =.= Oh, and fly down to Max and tell him, that I'm up here and will stay here for a while, please." Jun nodded with a submissive smile and a bow belonging to it and turned away from both.

"And you, Kai, will go with me. I cannot let you walk here alone."

And with that the Chinese and his involuntary company set out, passing cloud houses and decorating, preeetty far away from the pink square.

When they walked side by side, Kai couldn't turn his head away from the angel. He still thought about the thing, which made Rei's soul stir, that he felt from time to time the inner storm coming from him. How Rei looked like, when he opened the letter and read it mutely...

"Hm, do you have something on your mind?"

The Russian veered his head away from Rei and showed himself, if he hadn't really something on his mind...

'Wait...'

"How can I get my black wings back?!" Rei, who walked silently next to Kai and still amused about his wings, looked at him very astonished.

"Oh oh..." That didn't sound very good for Kai.

"What does 'oh oh' mean, Kon? Out with it!"

"Uhm, well, I didn't bear this in mind properly =o.o= "

"What didn't you bear in mind òó ?" Slowly Kai's mood sank and sank and he stopped in the midst of the path.

"You...you should know, Kai..." Rei stumbled in his words awkwardly "I..I've..uhm..never seen such black clouds here."

"WHAAAT?!" Rei flinched at Kai's outbreak and backed a bit away, while Kai's wings looked down to the younger one in this loud pink.

"Le..let me say this in that way. Black clouds are very rare in this region."

'I pray to God, that this won't come true =T.T= '

"I hope this for you, Kon." added Kai and went further. Rei on the other hand trotted browbeaten after him and was on the look-out for an ever so small dark cloud until something caught his eye.

"THERE! Over there Kai!"

'Thank you, dear God! I'm allowed to live on one day more...'

At once Kai went up to it, stepped on it and looked over his shoulder on his wings, which finally got their old colour.

"And don't worry, they won't change white now if you walk on normal ground." added Rei and pointed Kai to a house, which wasn't that far away from them. "That's where I live!"

"Hn."

Arriving, Rei opened the door and shouted:

"I'm home!" But nobody was to be seen greeting back. Rei entered his house and disappeared beforehand in one of those adjacent rooms, while Kai took a look around in this small lodging consisting of simple white clouds. It was fitted up like a normal living room, furnished with a couch and two arm-chairs, a table and a big closet, which extended over the entire wall. Also, there was nothing to be seen like pictures or vases for flowers. But Kai discovered on the table a little picture frame and approached to it. He saw on it two people portrayed, which he assumed were Rei's parents, both looking happy and carefree. Why wasn't Rei also on this picture?

"Probably a picture before his birth." Kai mumbled and a noise called his attention, which identified as the opening of a door.

Rei came out in a white robe with grey hem and Chinese ornaments embroidering on it, fitting to the sleeveless bolero over it. Under the robe he wore wide white pants, which were reminiscent of those for combatant sport. Only his slippers were the same with the exception, that they were white.

Kai eyed the Chinese from top to bottom and couldn't be fed up with him. This combination fit to him like a glove; he truly looked very well in them.

"You seem to like my attire." said Rei kindly and smiled at Kai. The slate haired broke off the eye contact and let his arms cross over his chest.

Thereupon our angel had to snicker slightly and called on Kai to accompany him to God, at whom he'd an audience.

Arriving at the palace, Rei asked Kai to wait for him in the courtyard, which the demon did without any complaint. Behind a great white gate the raven haired disappeared and left Kai alone for a while.

In God's hall

"Ah, Rei! I've waited for you!"

"You've called me, Lord?"

"Yes, then I want to enlighten you on your mission." Rei observed immediately the gravity in the voice of his Lord and felt the tension in his shoulders. Unknowingly he stopped breathing and waited for the answer from his puzzler, since he heard, what will occur to him at the end of his mission.

"Now please listen to me, Rei, and then your fosterling is..."

Outside of the hall

Kai stood outside before the gate and had a look around in the courtyard. He already became suspicious, why they hadn't seen other people besides Jun. He wondered, where they could dwell. And as if they read his mind, they came in flocks out of the palace and out of every corner of the courtyard for relaxing their legs and have a gossip with friends about the newest news. At heart they weren't much different than the people of the underworld.

Suddenly the great gate opened behind him and a quite happy looking Rei stepped out. At least it looked like this, but then Kai knew very well, that Rei wasn't pretty good in hiding his feelings. Though something has changed in the angel's inner self. He didn't know, what still settled the Chinese, but he sensed, that the angst for the thing he feared was taken away (Confusing, I know .; ).

"Let's go, Kai. I wanna visit an old friend of mine." The Russian than joined Rei and followed him, ignoring the gazes from the other angels, which were probably staring at him due to his 'coloured' clothes. But this got lost, when they saw Rei and greeted him cordially. Seemingly he was well-known and very popular under his people.

Friendly Rei greeted back, received many hugs and many pecks on the cheeks, too much for the unnoticed woe of the slate haired. But he didn't mention anything and stayed close to the Tiger.

After a while with silent walking Rei and Kai arrived a bow gate (which was also unnecessary because there were no walls around it ;b ) by which both paced in and halted in front of an invisible edge.

Down their feet a half dozen of white sculptures laid in nest like brushes. They were reminiscent of...

"Eggs?" The demon kneeled before giving a suspicious glance at them and gave a soft 'knock, knock' on one of them while Rei stepped beside him.

"No, mini space ships for rookies, you know." The angel couldn't restrain his cynicism.

"Of course these are eggs! Strictly speaking angel eggs." menaces with index finger "Don't touch them." With this he left Kai for a small talk with the watcher, a woman with ebony hair and specs on her nose.

"Oh! Rei! Long time no see ya!" Looked over his shoulder curiously.

"And who's your friend over there?"

A stunned expression flashed over Rei's face by the word 'friend' and gave him an odd feeling in his guts.

"Uh...he's one of my team mates on earth." That he was a demon he left out. It would cause much trouble than to pretend that he's an angel although his dark clothes gave him a gloomy not really angelic appearance. Now it didn't matter. But why'd this question made Rei so...Argh! Whatever! A sudden noise got both attention to Kai.

Kai's POV

'What am I doing here? I should be in training or at least at home! Instead of I'm in the territory of my opponents, kneeling in front of some future fried eggs and...sorry...take it back.' I patted on the same one like before till I found myself slackening. 'Now I'm going nuts! I pat an egg! Since when I go so mushy?!?'

At this moment there was a cracking sound. My eyes went to the white object which I 'caressed' building up more fissures. Twisted in shock I backed away eyes always locked on it. A little 'Woah!' escaped my mouth overwhelmed by this sight.

"Kai!" Rei called me running towards my direction.

"Cover your eyes! NOW!" I obeyed to his command like a reflex reaction. Right after a smashing light ran through the area and filled the air for seconds with warmth. It enveloped me so breathtaking that it sent me shivers down my spine and gave me the feeling of being out of gravity for a moment. There was the smell again I smelt before "rape-seed" only fresher. But also a little different.

After this spectacle I lost my tension and tried to look what happened to the angel egg. There was a small creature between the egg-shell pieces, I guess, a boy with little white wings on his back and wearing a white robe. My shock turned immediately into the same cold behaviour, didn't want to show any weakness.

Normal POV

Finally Rei reached Kai looking at the newborn.

"Wow! I've never seen such a great light at a birth!" he stated. Kai looked up to him.

"You mean that happens EVERY time?" He got a nod as answer. Like to show no interest in it Kai crossed his arms acting grouchy like he always does. In the corner of his eyes he noticed some movements of this angel boy and in the next moment he was knocked over on his back.

"A..a...ano?!" Rei couldn't believe his eyes. The newborn...sat on the demon's chest; a bright smile graced his face!

With an "O-niiiiichan" it started to cuddle Kai intensely. The cuddled one managed barely to prop up himself on his elbows and gave a puzzled look on the very light weight on him.

'O-niichan?!'

"What the...?!?" he wants to huff when Rei winked to calm down. With a smirk the tiger amused to the sight:

"Well, well, I guess its love for the first sight!" He got a growl from Kai combined with a death glare. The angel lifted sweatdropped his hands for appeasement but couldn't occasionally avoid a snicker:

"You should be glad that he doesn't call you 'daddy'!"

"Hn." the slate haired gave back and returned his gaze to the snuggling thing on top of him. Unexpectedly he rose up to his feet of a sudden so that the newborn tumbled down from him and made a blank ?? to his 'O-niiiiichan'. But everything what 'Itoto' received was only a harsh gaze down to him.

Kai didn't want to be attracted, especially not by an angel!

'Now I can get rid of this annoying brat and go back to earth.' he thought contently not showing any expression on his face.

He was sick of this place and he wanted to be off as fast as possible.

His death glares always worked on people if he didn't want someone around himself. Or should I say almost?

He didn't expect the unexpected.

From one second to the next the little runt jumped up and hugged him like a burr. I think relative to his death glares he's wrong -

"Kisama...!" Kai began to snarl and wanted to pull this brat away. It really got on his nerves! But it didn't move a bit. It clung more and more to him like he was its life-line. With a sigh the Russian gave up.

This behaviour surprised Rei because such a thing never appeared in the angel's era before. And why HE of all people? Why did fate choose Kai? He could only shake his head without understanding.

It took a while when the watcher came to them. He didn't hurry up to avoid disturbing this smooth atmosphere . He grinned from ear to ear and made a slight touch to the newborn.

"Now, come with me. Ain't you interested in your parents?" The addressed one faced her hesitantly loosened his grip from Kai but still stuck to him like glue. The watcher took gently one hand and led it to another level of this cloudy plain.

"Bye, O-niichan!" it waved back happily.

Kai could only grunt a quiet "Kuso gaki" when he walked out of this for him forbidden place.

"Kai! Wait for me!" called Rei behind him and said good bye passing his old friend, who waved back kindly and adjusted his glasses again.

Kai wanted to go back to Rei's home, and then this place was the only one, where he could be more for himself than by these wacky angels. Ts, an angel has embraced him.

'Obnoxious...'

"Hey Kai! Now wait!" Finally Rei drew level with the Russian and seized his arm. Kai tore it away again and moved on willfully. Rei didn't get it, what was up to Kai, and walked on next to him. Again this silence dominated over both Bladebreakers and nobody wanted to start a conversation till something flashed through Rei's mind, at what he had wondered for a longer time, but thought it irrelevant.

"Kai?" The addressed one didn't respond, didn't even look up. So the Chinese went on with talking.

"Well, when I went to hell for returning you, by hindsight one thing attracted my attention." At length the head of the slate haired rose and looked briefly at Rei surreptitiously. Therefore he made him nosy at all .

"Well, it was after all Kaz, who picked me up at the thermal spa and dragged me into your house. My heart stopped beating, when I heard, that he knew very well my true nature." The phoenix still didn't say something. "But why wasn't he able to remember me? We did yet meet one week before in the night, when he'd delivered the message for you!"

"He's schizophrenic. That means, certain information are interchanged in both aware nesses and some not."

Rei stopped abruptly and gloated at Kai like a horse.

"WHAT?!"

"Besides you had fed him with your blood at that night, he could identify you as angel."

(Poss. read the part "Reserve" ; I also had to do this .;; )

"A..ha." 'I've never thought, that Kai can say so much at one time '

"I heard that."

In a little while both arrived Rei's house again, where Rei saw a message on the table, which probably was taken by Jun.

When Rei had a more precise look on the envelope, which was named after him, he opened it and said surprised:

"Oh, an invitation! For the Lord's weekly party! And you are also allowed to come along! =oO= "

"Hn." It didn't seem to concern Kai, but it was all in all a bit strange for him to be invited to a feast of angels.

"Okay! I'm ready to go out. And you?" "Ts."

...
