Kit: Ok, another chapter of my story, peeps! Enjoy!
Kai: It's about time. It took you long enough to get this finished.
Rayne: Kai, great things take time.
Kit: And, as thanks to all of my readers...All of you get cookies! [hands out random cookies]
Tala: Hmmmm...Kitten's being generous...That's a first...
Kit: Hush, Wolfie. Now, someone do the disclaimer!
Tala: Kitten doesn't own Beyblade or any of it's charcters, but she created Rayne so leave Rayne alone! Kitten also doesn't own ' But, I'll Never Forgive My Heart' by Brooks & Dunn.
Kit: Nice job, Wolfie. Now, let's get on with the story!
Ch. 5 The Next Morning
The next morning, Rayne awoke to total darkness. She pushed her head up, and was met with a sight she thought she'd never see. Kai was leaned up against the headboard of her bed, sound asleep. (A/N: They were practicing last night for a long time, so when Rayne broke down, it was already nightfall. So, Kai lost track of time when he comforted her, and fell asleep.) Rayne blinked in surprise before glancing at the clock. The glittering, blood-red numbers glared back at her as she read the them, which said 6:45 am. She blinked, she had gotten up pretty early. She tried to push herself up, without awaking Kai, but found that a weight around her waist kept her down. What she saw this time made her head spin...
Kai's arms were wrapped loosely around her waist, holding her to him. She blinked in surprise once again, before thinking, Oh my GOD. to herself.
She carefully changed her position in Kai's arms, from resting her face in his chest, to resting the back of her head against his chest. As carefully as she could, she unlaced Kai's arms from her waist, being as gentle as she could, lest she wake him and face his early-morning wrath...
She finally succeeded in 'Mission: Untangle Kai's Arms' and was silently able to roll off him, without even making the bed jolt. She carefully pushed herself up off of the bed, and with a relieved sigh, stood up and stretched, popping her back. She disappeared for a minute or two before returning with a brush and a new black hair tie clasped between her lips. She stood in front of the mirror silently, running the brush through her raven locks and pulling her bangs forward to frame her face. She quickly tied the hair tie and let it fall gently behind her.
She gave the sleeping Kai a quick, silent glance before exiting the room and walking to the kitchen, where Black Magic greeted her with a hungry yowl.
"Ok, ok. Shut p for a sec and I'll feed you." she whispered to the cat, who apparently got the message and sat patiently by his food bowl. Rayne quickly reached into the cabinet and grabbed a can of cat food, silently pulling it open and spooning it out into Black Magic's bowl, with a thought of Man, this stuff is NASTY. How they expect sane animals to eat this stuff, Is beyond me... As that thought ended she threw the spoon into the sink and threw the empty can of cat food into the garbage.
"Now, what to fix for breakfast..." she murmured to herself as she pulled open the pantry door and dug through it's contents. She finally desided on eggs and toast, with a bit of her specialty, a recipe that had been in the family for generations.
"I hope Kai doesn't mind this." she mumbled as she fixed breakfast, humming a tune to herself which changed to a song:
"Hello heartache.
Who let you in?
I swore the last time
Never again
Back together
Just you and me
Where's you old friend,
Mr. Misery?
I went and did it
I dropped my guard
I fell in and I fell hard
Now he's sayin'
He's found someone new
How could I have
Been such a fool
Oh, close the door
Turn out the lights
Draw the curtain
I'll get over him in time
It's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself
'I told you so'
As I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart
Oh close the door
Turn out the lights
Draw the curtain
I'll get over him in time
It's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself
'I told you so'
As I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart"
Kai groaned as the light of the sun invaded his vision, he opened his eyes and shielded his vision from the light with one of his hands. Suddenly, the smell of food filled his senses, and he sat up, mouth watering slightly. Then he heard someone singing, realizing that it was Rayne. She was singing a song about her heart breaking, but her vioce didn't waver once. Maybe she'd never been hurt, or maybe she had, but she just didn't care...
Kai wasn't sure which it was, and he really didn't want to ask, lest he push another of her sensitive buttons. He pushed himself up and walked out of the room, listening to the sound of her voice to decipher where the kitchen was. He finally found it, and was surprised to find Rayne standing over the stove cooking and singing while Black Magic ate at her feet.
Rayne soon ended her song, but felt eyes on her, and looked up to see Kai. She was surprised, though she didn't allow it to show," I'm sorry. I didn't wake you did I?" she asked him.
It took Kai's brain, which was still half-asleep, a few seconds to register her question, and a few more to register an answer," No, the sun woke me up." he answered her simply. "Err...what ya makin' for breakfast?"
Rayne turned back to the stove, pushing the eggs around in the pan with a fork," Just some eggs, toast, and secret family recipe pancakes." she said as she motioned to each thing as she said it.
Kai blinked at the 'secret family recipe' part. Rayne's 'family' had a secet family recipe?! "Umm...what the secret part of the recipe?" he asked, already knowing that she wouldn't tell him, but it didn't hurt to try, di it?
Rayne looked up at him with a small smirk and a giggle," If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret, now would it?" she asked with another giggle.
Kai laughed to himself too," No, I sppose it wouldn't." he answered her. "Oh, another question. What in the Devil's pink fuzzle is a 'Coyote'?"
Rayne looked at him quizically," Pink fuzzle?" she asked with another smirk. "And, as for what 'Coyotes' are... You'll have to wait until tonight, because that's when my shift starts."
Kai sighed, This bites. I was hoping she'd answer my question without thinking about it. he thought to himself.
Kit: Ok, that's the end of this chapter. (And, you find out what 'Coyotes' are in the NEXT chappie!)
Kai: It's about time!
Rayne: [sweatdrop] He's been DYING to know...
Tala: Kitten, can I say it? PLEASE?!
Kit: Go for it, Wolfie!
Tala: Read and Review!
