Rei simply shrugged and looked at the sky then at the ground and soon got to work raking up the leaves. Jo sighed and started to rake as well. As they continued ,the pile seemed to grow. They stopped after a while and Jo fell down in to the pile and looked at the sky. Rei soon joined her as he fell in to the leaves and laughed lightly.

" I feel like a kid right now " he said softly and looked at her blushing lightly, her would reach for her hand.

Their hands met and he blushed even more. Jo blinked and looked over at him. She didn't really get what he was doing but soon it made sense to her. Rei moved closer and soon their lips met. Jo's eyes widened and Rei quickly stopped pulling away.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!" he said and quickly got up helping her out of the leaves " please forgive me j..."

He was cut off as Jo kiss him and also placed her arms around him. He stayed there frozen for a while then slowly closed his eyes. He wrapped his arms around her and blushed even more.

I finally think that I can ask her ...I'm ready Rei thought to himself.

Kai watched the two from the kitchen window and sighed softly. Amy also looked out at the two. She hugged Kai and smirked ,

" she's grown up...and so has Rei" Amy said and looked at Kai " you don't have to worry anymore.."

" I guess your right...but I can still hurt Rei if he hurts Jo" Kai continued to watch the too and noticed that Rei was now talking to Jo . " I wonder what he's saying..."

Amy looked at Rei and did her best to read his lips . When she figured it out she laughed and Kai looked at her confused.

"What?" he asked

" he just asked her out she's been waiting so long for that!" Amy continued to laugh and soon was hit with some soap that Kai threw at her.

She stood there confused for a second then picked up a cup which sat in the rise area of the sink. It was filled with hot water but she did care, she dumped it on him and laughed before quickly moving away from him as he tried to throw water at her. Their small fight lasted a while until Amy gave up. Kai was soaked and he took off his top then walked towards the steps. Amy watched him then heard a loud crash in one of the bed rooms.

She sat down on a chair and listened as Tyson and Dichi started to argue. She then heard a knock on the door and Kai came down the stairs buttoning up his shirt as he walked towards the door. Once there he opened it only to be tackled by Rath. Tala followed in behind her and looked at the two who were now on the ground.

Reanu ,who was also know as Rath to her friends, was Tala's girlfriend and was 17 years old. She had brown shoulder length hair with red and blonde highlights, she also wore a red Tuque. She had cornflower blue eyes that were heavily eye lined. Rath usually wore a yellow t-shirt , red pants and black boots. On her right hand she had red and black fingerless gloves and on her left wrist she had black bracelets.

Amy knew that Rath was almost like Jo when it came to their attitudes. She shrugged and leaned back looking at Kai and soon heard three other loud voices.

"DOG PILE!" yelled Max, Tyson, and Dichi in unison.

The 3 jumped on Rath and Kai and a small fight started as Kai tried to get away. Tala walked past them and in to the dining room where Amy sat. Amy had know Tala since the first BBA tournament, she had been good friends with him and had cheered him on until she met Kai. Tala had also been the first person who had seen her bit beast Soren.

" hello again Amy..its nice to see you again" He said and smiled

" hey Tala...yeah its nice to see you without bandages and machines hooked up to you..." she joked and he smirked

"yeah I like being able to move...good thing BEGA is gone." he looked back at Rath " well I thought we could come up here and visit maybe stay for a few days...if you don't mind."

" sure..Rath can have Kai's room...and I guess you could share the room with her" Amy replied.

Tala nodded then looked out the door and in to the back yard. He noticed Rei and Jo hugging each other and blinked. Amy looked at the two and then at the group near the front door.

" I take it Jo found someone she likes...what about you? Have you told Kai yet?" Tala asked and looked at Rath.

" I can't...there are to many people around..." she sighed and looked at Kai.

Tala thought and smirked. He walked towards the back door and Amy turned watching him. Tala walked out and over to Rei and Jo, they both stopped what they were doing and smiled. Amy watched this confused and then noticed they were coming back inside. No one said a thing to her as they passed. She continued to watch and soon noticed that they were heading for the dog pile area.

" ok Jo...you grab Kai, Rei grab Tyson and Max , I got Rath and Dichi." Tala said and they obeyed.

When everyone was separated Kai moved away and frowned at the group that had attacked him. Rath smiled and the others laughed.

" ok who wants to go to the movies?" Tala asked

Everyone cheered except for Amy and Kai. Tala had spoken with Rath then divided the group so they could fit in to the vehicles. Jo was going to drive Rei, Max and herself to the theatre while Tala took Rath, Tyson, Dichi and himself there. Everyone had soon left and Kai looked over at Amy who was now leaning back in her chair looking at the ceiling.

I finally have time alone with her Kai thought to himself and smirked

" Amy go have a relaxing bath we have some freedom now...no sense wasting it." he said and walked in to the kitchen.

Amy looked towards the kitchen and stood walking up the stairs. She figured he was right and hoped that she would figure out a way to tell him how she felt. Kai stood in the kitchen and searched through the drawers until he found a cook book. Flipping through it he found a recipe for making romantic dinners.

Kai cooked while Amy relaxed in the bathtub. She looked at the ceiling while the hot water continued to pour in to the tub. Amy didn't like really cold water so she used a lot of hot water to relax. She closed her eyes and sighed.

How do I say it...' Kai I really like you... hi Kai I just wanted to say I like you a lot... She sighed and opened her eyes this is useless..

She stayed in the tub for a while then left and went to her room to change. When she was

done changing she looked in the mirror and sighed

" I'm going to tell him...I'm not going to mess up"

Amy walked back down stairs to smell something good. As she walked in to the dining room she noticed a candle burning on the table and two plates were set out. She looked to see the lights were dim and she could hear soft music playing in the kitchen.

"Kai?" she walked towards the kitchen and was stopped by his voice

" I'm in her but don't come in it's a surprise !"

Amy blinked and stood there confused. She blushed lightly as she thought maybe Kai liked her the same way she liked him. She stood there for a long time trying to sort this out. Soon Kai came out of the kitchen and looked at her. She smiled and he walked over to the table and pulled the chair out for her. She sat down and blushed looking at the table. Kai had brought out the food he had cooked and set the plates down on the table before he took his seat across from her.

" this is ...great Kai" Amy said as she looked at the food.

Kai smirked and started to eat and Amy also dug in. By the 7:00pm Kai and Amy had already retreated upstairs. Kai moved his things in to Amy's room since Rath and Tala were taking over his room. As the evening continued the two grew tired and they laid down on Amy's bed. Kai looked at the ceiling and soon felt something on him. As he looked down he noticed Amy was curled up close to him, she was sleeping and he smiled placing an arm around her he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
