Yoko-obssessor: still trying to define if your insulting me… lol! Perhaps I do live in my own little world, but then again, if it's producing ok fiction, it can't be too bad, ne? yes, Ketchup and Pancakes is disgusting, but that was the point… either way! Thanks for reviewing and here's yet another chapter.
Forfirith, Anne-chan, Nattaress and Vampyre Neko: glad you're enjoying it! Here's another update!
Cloy: oki!
Bib- a napkin to put round your neck…
Smirked- smiling evilly
Nudging- gently shoving someone
Faltered- to pause in your steps
Amusing- something funny and/or entertaining…
Hope that helps!
Chapter 8:
Dark Revelations
Rei struggled with the last button of his white shirt, whining in frustration as the one beneath it came undone only a moment later. Standing in front of the mirror, the neko-jinn hissed at his own inability to do a simple task as dressing himself. At length, the "evil-shirt-of-doom" was conquered, Rei grinning in accomplishment as he moved for his slacks that were hanging neatly over the end of his bed. Reaching for the dark-materialed pants, Rei momentarily paused.
Then screamed.
Kai ran in moments later, pausing at the sight of the scantily dressed neko-jinn standing in the middle of the room. In nothing more then boxers and his white school shirt, Rei was barely decent.
'Rei…?' Kai ignored the heat rising to his cheeks.
It appeared, up till then, the Chinese had been oblivious to his captain's entry. Blink blink. Rei threw himself at Kai.
'SAVE ME!'
'…From what…?'
Wrapping himself around his muscular captain, Rei pointed a quaking finger to a small, multi-legged creature happily scampering over the dark slacks. No bigger then a bit-piece, the creature was anything but threatening.
'Rei…? It's a spider…'
'Exactly!' Burying his face into Kai's shoulder, the smaller only then realized his captain's lack of shirt.
They must have looked a sight to anyone unaware of the circumstances. Half dressed, in each other's arms and flushed. A real sight.
Disentangling himself from the neko-jinn, Kai strode across the room to the small bi-limbed aracknid that had so quickly created so much havoc. He picked the spider up.
Rei's eyes widened impossible.
'Kai!'
The Russian raised a brow as the long-haired blader watched the small, black creature crawl up the taller's arm, horror plainly painted on effeminate features.
'You worry too much,' the blunette took the spider into his palm, 'This ain't harming anyone.'
The Asian watched his companion set the nightmarish insect out the far window, oddly carefully. Rei smiled slightly, fumbling for his pants and willing himself not to stare at his half-naked captain.
He lost. A few heavenly moments of untainted gawking, and Rei stopped.
'Kai…?' a word that seemed to rule the Chinese's vocabulary.
The Hiwatari watched Rei approach apprehensively. Ochre eyes never left his chest. A warm hand touched cold skin. Never before had he noticed… all that time…
Kai's creamy upper body, although amazingly sculpted, was anything but unblemished. Pale white scars mapped intricate patterns over the Russian's pectoral area, abs, shoulders, neck, back and waist.
Rei, completely entranced by the sheer amount of aggravated flesh, traced the largest carefully, frown upon his face.
'What happened…?' He looked up at Kai, amber filled with concern.
Kai took Rei's wrist, lifting soft finger-tips from just above his abs.
'I got into a few fights.' And with that, he left.
Rei watched…
Angsty…?
Just a bit.
I know the scars is a very used concept, but I couldn't help but put it in myself…
