Chapter 7 Jungle Day 2

Kai woke up when a drop landed on his face. He opened his eyes as another drop fell from above. And another. Before he knew it he was drenched from these tiny drops from above. He was about to say something when they suddenly stopped. He looked up to see a very large leaf sheilding him from the rain. He looked to see who had the leaf, and his eyes fell on a familiar form. Two of them. One big, one small.

"Awe, man, its raining." said Chris, from across the makeshift camp site, Ray on his back.

"Thanks." Kai said, and crawled over his jungle mother, snuggled up to her and went back to sleep. The orangutan who had taken Kai as her own wrapped her arm protectivly around him. Chris and Ray looked at them. Shocked at what Kai just did. The Orangutan pointed to a tree with big umbrella like leaves. Chris and Ray smiled, and nodded their thanks before getting a leaf.

"We can't stay here long." Chris said, "As soon as Kai wakes up we have to leave." He was hoping the orangutan would understand. And to his amazement, she nodded, understandingly. About half an hour later Kai woke up. He looked around, and saw the orangutan, and confusion appeared on his face.

"Morning Kai." Ray said, getting both Kai's and Chris', who had been staring off into space, attention. The orangutan let Kai go and headed off into the jungle. She looked over her shoulder and smiled at Kai. Kai smiled back, making sure neither Ray or Chris saw him, of course.

"Well, lets get going, Kai." Chris said, "You need help getting down?" Kai looked down, he didn't see anything close by he could reach with his five year old body. So, he sighed, and walked over to his traveling buddies, and climed on Chris' back. They made their way to the jungle floor, and started walking to the city with the airport.

"I can't wait to get back to Japan." Ray said, "The first thing I'm going to do is take long nap in my bed."

"A cat nap?" Chris asked, jokingly, Ray glared.
"No, a regular human nap." he said

"What if the others were scattered all over the world too?" Kai asked

"Huh?"

"Think about it, why would we be to only ones who were taken and move to another country?" Kai said, "Maybe Boris new about this, and this is all part of his plan." (Five year old know it all.)

"Thats a good point." Ray said

"I've never actually met Boris." Chris said, "But from what I've heard this could be true. But how whould he get a five year old nephew of Hilary to change us all? And why?"

"How do you get a five year old to do anything?" Kai asked, "You offer them candy."

"And he would change us to weaken our forces!" Ray said, "He's up to something!"

"But wasn't that Boris we tied up and stole these tickets from?" Chris asked

"Yeah, I don't think he took in Kai's mom." Ray said, "So maybe the best thing to do is to take that flight home."

"Hmm." Kai grunted, "I'm not so sure, but this is our best bet to get home."

"So we go through with it?" Chris asked

"Yeah." Kai said

"So, even if we do get back to Japan, there is no real guarantee we'll be able to get back to normal." Ray said, depressed.

"I'm sure everything will turn out fine." Chris said, "One way or another." Ray didn't cheer up. He was watching the ground as he walked. Kai and Chris felt bad for him. They didn't say much else as they continued walking. They walked for few hours before stopping to rest. They sat on the path and stayed their in akward silance. None of them said anything. But the sialnce was getting to them. Kai shuffled a few times, and Chris stared off into space. Ray however was lost in thought.

'What if we are stuck like this? I'll have to use a litter box for the rest of my life. And I refuse to get married to a cat! I want to be human again...' He thought.

'Poor Ray.' Chris thought, 'He really got the worst end of this. Kai and I are still human, and Kai'll grow up, and I'm roughly the same age and still the same gender. Ray's probably thinking how he's going to have to use a litter box for the rest of his life. And how he refuses to marry a cat.'

'I'm hungry.' Kai thought ' Great, now I sound like Tyson. This stupid child form gets hungry to fast!' Kai's stomach rumled loudly. Snapping all three of them out of their thougts.

"Somethings growling!" Chris said.

"I sounded like it was nearest to Kai." Ray said. Kai blushed

"It was my stomach." He said, "I'm kinda hungry." Chris and Ray sighed in relief nothing was trying to eat them for a change.

"Well, lets get going, we might be able to find some friut trees on the way." Chris said

"Okay!" Kai said, happily, "Oh no, the five year old side is coming back." Ray and Chris smiled. Five year old Kai was funny. Not like teenage Kai, who was serious most of the time. As they were walking Kai's stomach refused to stop growling.

"Kai, why didn't you tell us you were hungry sooner?" Ray asked

"Because, I'm not a little kid anymore." Kai said

"It hasn't seemed like that for the past few day when I had to take care of you." Chris said, "You are a kai, and its tme you start acting like one. No, I meant you need to tell when you get hungry, since you can't fend for yourself now."

"Hn!" Kai grunted, knowing Chris was right. That and his stomach was getting on his nerves. He was so lost in thought he didn't realize the others stopped, and bumped into Chris' leg.

"Kai, we found some fruit." Chris said, and handed Kai a banana. Kai ate it like he hadn't eaten in days. Which he hasn't. So Chris gave him another. Then another.

"Maybe we should try to get some fish or something." Chris said, after Kai's fifth banana. He had the urge to kill something, but didn't wanto to. So he decided that fish counted as something, and you could eat them. Kai smiled at the idea of fresh fish, but didn't say anything because of his full mouth. His five year old side had gotten the better of him. "Lets find a river or stream or something."
"But then we'll have to leave the path." Ray said

"I know, but we can always double back," Chris said, "And besides, I'm sick of fruit."

"Okay." Ray said, when he noticed small hands carring him behind Chris, who had already headed off into the jungle. He looked at Kai who was intently following the older boy. "Kai, you okay?"

"Mmhm." Kai said, he was smiling, and humming. Ray was kinda freaked out by this.

"Are you sure?" Ray asked Kai again. Kai nodded, and they were both suddenly pulled into the air.

"Ray, I think Kai's five year old side got ahold of him." Chris said, picking up the smaller boy and cat, as a stream came into view, "Let him have his fun." Kai smiled at the thought of having fun. "Kai, you stay where I can see you. And if you here me call, come rigt back." Kai nodded, and ran off as soon as his feet hit the ground. "I said stay where I can see you!" Chris shouted, and Kai jumped from behind a bush.

"Here I am!" He said, a new childishness to his small voice that wasn't there before.

"If we are stuch like this, we can give him a better childhood." Ray said.

"Thats the only good thing about being stuck like this." Chris said, as he waded into the stream and waited for a fish to swim by. When one did he snatched out of the water and tossed onto land, where Ray jumped on it. The fish was bigger than Ray, and he was having trouble staying on it.

"Need help?" asked Chris, laughing at Ray's fish problem.

"Y-y-y-e-e-e-s-s-s." Ray said, trying his hardest to make sure the fish doesn't get back to the stream. Chris went over, grabbed the fish which put up a fight, slapping both him and Ray in the face, and got fung into the bushed.

"AAAAAAAH!" A child like scream filled the area, and Chibi Kai came running out, this fish's tail sticking out of his boxers. He ran around in circles screaming, "Get it out! Get it out!" Chris scooped up the small boy, and pulled the fish from his boxers. The fish was not moving as much now, and was easier to handle. He set Kai back down, and searched his, (Bryan's) pockets for a knife, or something he could use to cut up the fish. When he found one he cut the fish into small pieces and set them on sticks next to a fire Ray started.

"How did you start this?" Chris asked

"Never underestimate a cat." Ray said, he pulled out a lighter, "I found this in your pocket." While they waited for the fish to cook, Ray was watching out for danger in a nearby tree, Chris was looking through all the pockets in the clothes he was wearing, and Kai was in the stream scrubbing his butt, trying deperatly to get the feel of the fish off it.

"Kai, if you scrub any harder you'll rub your butt clean off." Ray said, when he saw what the five year old was doing. Chris heard this, and looked over to the stream.

"I thought you wanted a swim before dinner. But a bath is always good." he said.

"Why don't you come in with me?" Chibi Kai asked, "And Ray too!"

"I don't want to see anymore of Bryan's body than I already have." Chris said, but he really wanted a bath.

"And I have this new found aversion to water." Ray said, still up in his tree, licking himself, like a cat.

Kai and Chris: O.OU

"The fish is done." Ray said, snapping the two boys out of their shock. Chris pulled the fish pieces away from the fire and passed them out.

"Let them cool for a minute, so you don't burn your tounge, Kai." Chris said.

"Okay!" Kai said, and stared at the fish. Wishing it would hurry and cool.

"Touch it, and when its cool enough for you to eat, dig in." Chris said, testing his fish. Kai watched him, and did the same. When he found it was cool enough to eat he shoved it in his mouth.

"Woe, he must have been hungrier that we thought." Ray said

"Watch him while I make camp." Chris said, and climbed the tree, and started to set up their bed for the night. When Ray looked back where Kai was, he saw he was gone! He looked to the river, and saw Kai scrubbing his butt again. Half an hour later, they were all in the makeshift bed, and sleeping peacefully with full stomachs.
