Chapter 3 Sucking Information Part 1

"Master Kai?" a servant said as he bowed "Yes?" Kai answered putting down the book he had been reading. "Lord Hiwatari wishes to speak to you sir" the man said taking a step to leave. Kai sighed "Thank you, you may leave and continue your chores." The servant bowed and went about his chores as ordered.

Kai got up from his seat and made his way to his grandfather's office. He blinked in mild surprise as he found Tala standing in front of the door waiting. "Glad you could make it Kai" he said sarcastically "Shove it Tala" he said as he knocked on the door three times.

"Come in" was the response and the two teens walked in and closed the door quietly and made their way to stand behind the chairs in front of the desk. "The message has just been delivered about the Emperor's death. The service will be held in two days time. You two along with Mr. Kuznetsov and myself will attend the service" he informed. Tala ears perked at the mention of his best friend's name. "Bryan will be attending with us?" he asked stupidly "That's what I just said Tala. Your stupidity sometimes surprises me." Voltaire said glaring at Tala who seemed not to notice. "You may leave. And prepare your things for the trip. The three of you will leave today for the city to prepare anything for myself" he commanded getting nods from the both of them.

When they turned to leave he added "And Mr. Kuznetsov has already been informed of this." And they walked out.

"Well it seems we can get out of this place finally. Can't wait" Tala said as he stretched his arms "What about you?" he asked. "I don't care" he said stoically as he stopped at the door to his room. "Remember Tala don't let your guard down the pieces have barely begun to move and we can't afford any mistakes" Kai said as he opened the door to his room and shut it before getting any type of response from the redhead.

"I don't plan on making any mistakes Kai, just to have fun with my koi" he said as he licked his lips in anticipation and quickly made his way to Bryan's room.

Kai sighed as he threw himself unceremoniously on his king sized bed. "Why?" he asked himself as he picked up a painting of Rei. He couldn't help the heat that rushed to his lower regions at the thought of the beautiful male under him, screaming his name in ecstasy as he pounded into him. He moaned as he erection strained against his trousers and quickly disposed of them.

He laid himself in his bed naked and ran a hand down his chest and pinched his nipples and moaned as his thoughts reverted around the Emperor to-be. He began to stroke himself as his thoughts went deeper into the golden irises he was lusting to see again. His moans became more frequent as he felt himself close to his climax. One thought made him cum harder than he's ever had before when he masturbated. The thought that maybe Rei would love him and tell him so.

He lay there on his bed shame creeping into his mind at the thought of what he had done. If his grandfather ever found out it would be the end of him for sure. He sighed as he sat up looking at the miniature painting of Rei. He quickly hid it in his book and headed towards his bathroom for a bath.

"Kai! Can I come in?" Kai perked his ears at the call from the other side of the door. "Yeah come in" he answered the redhead behind the door. "Hey are you almost ready?" he asked as he came in followed by Bryan. "Yes the servants have taken my things down to our coach" he answered looking from one to the other. "What?" Tala asked innocently a slight blush brushing his cheeks. "I don't wanna know. And don't you dare start snogging each other in the coach because I'll make you walk all they way to the Imperial City" he threatened. "Kai do you really see us as the type?" Bryan asked his eyes glinting mischievously. "Yes I do" was all Kai said as he headed to pick up his book. "We're hurt Kai" Tala sniffed as he dried away an invisible tear.

Kai just glared at them "Whatever" and he slipped out of the room the other two following closely behind him.

"Ah I see you all are ready to leave" Voltaire said as he walked down the stairs. Towards the small group. "Yes my lord" Bryan said inclining his head to the lord as the others had done. "For the service you will wear your dress uniform" he informed "Do not worry I had each of your servants put them in the coach." The three nodded their understanding "Is there anything else you wish to tell us my lord?" Tala asked "No you may all leave" he said and walked towards the library.

"Well I guess we can leave now" Tala said and Kai just shrugged. They all had their coats put on and walked into the wintery air outside. "Who would have thought it could get cold in China" Bryan said rubbing his arms. "Whatever at least it's not as cold as it is at home" Tala said as they headed to their coach. "Nice to see you three decided to go after all" A burly blonde said as they stopped to board. "Spencer no one asked you so shut it" Tala said "Oh what's wrong, little redhead PMSing" "IAN! I'm am so going to pound your long nose into the ground" Tala threatened. "Drop it all of you!" Kai yelled as he boarded the coach and sat on the other side.

Tala sighed and followed suit with Bryan right behind. "By the way we're your escorts" Spencer said as he closed the door and walked to the coach's driver side and Ian to the back bundling up next to Ilia one of the guards. "Oh man" Tala whined as he leaned back in his seat "Quit whining Tala it doesn't suit, well in certain time and places it does actually" Bryan said in a teasing tone. "Bryan!" "Would you two stop it. You can fuck all you want when we get to the palace" Kai scolded opening his book to hopefully get a few chapters in before they arrived at the palace in the Imperial City. "Fine, calm down" Tala said as he sat back and closed his eyes. Bryan put an arm around the others shoulders and pulled him close and closed his eyes as well.

RKRKRKRKRK

"Rei are you sure you're okay?" Tyson asked watching the neko-jin friend sit at his desk pouring over papers and such. "I'm fine Tyson please I need finish all this before the service. Please just leave me alone so I can finish this" Rei said as he ran a hand through his loose knee length hair that was tangled to no end. "Okay come on Tyson let's leave him alone for a while" Max said grabbing Tyson before he made Rei mad and led him out the room.

Rei sighed when they closed the door behind them. "I can't do this not without you father" he murmured standing and sitting on the window sill. He looked out unto the palace grounds that were white and pure as snow fell from the sky. He smiled softly as he remembered the days he would spend playing in the snow with Drigger. The tiger laying in front of the fire place looked up at it's master and slowly stood and made his way towards him.

Rei looked down when he felt the tiger's head on his knee. "Oh Drigger you're my only support right now" he said scratching behind the tiger's ear making it purr with satisfaction. Rei's smile widened a bit as he pet his tiger. Drigger the guardian of the royal family who has protected the family for many centuries. He closed his eyes leaning back feeling the warmth of the tiger as it surrounded him.

"Master Rei?" Xin asked from the doorway where he stood. "Yes?" Rei asked not looking at his most trusted advisor instead focusing on a coach that was entering the grounds. "Lord Hiwatari's grandson and his company will arrive in a matter of moments" Xin informed "You must greet them for they have to bid their condolences to you" Xin finished. "Thank you for informing me Xin" Rei said as he and smiled at Xin gratefully.

Rei made his way to his chambers to tidy up his hair and face so as not look dreadful for their guests. "Thank you Xin" he said as Xin placed his circlet on his head after his hair had been brushed and oiled to shiny slickness. "You are quite welcome Master Rei" he bowed as he stepped back. "Have they arrived yet?" he asked as he stood his circlet making a jingling noise with the movement. "Yes they have been in the entrance hall for less than two minutes. You must make haste as too not keep them waiting" Xin said as he ushered the prince out of his chambers, Drigger trailing right behind Rei.

As Rei walked the jingling rang to announce the prince was within the vicinity. Rei stopped when he walked into the entrance where some servants were taking the guests things to their rooms. He noticed Tyson and Max standing close to them trying make conversation with the guests. He couldn't help but smile as they completely ignored Tyson as he tried to get them into a conversation about food.

He swiftly made his way over the jingling noise announcing his arrival. Tyson and Max stopped and turned to at Rei. They both smiled and exchanged looks and bowed as Rei neared. "My prince" they both said and when Rei nodded they straightened looking at the others.

Rei then turned to his guests and blinked at them. He saw that they were not from here he motioned for someone to come to him. "Yes my prince?" a servant said as he bowed in front of Rei. Rei motioned for him to stand "Has the evening meal been prepared?" he asked "Yes it has my prince, should I got tell the others that you will dine in the great hall?" he asked "Yes and that I have five guests who will be eating with me as well" he answered, the servant bowed and quickly ran towards the kitchens.

Rei again turned to his guests and smiled with welcome at them.

Kai snapped out of his stupor at the beauty the prince possessed and bowed as did the other two. "My prince we come from the northern country of Russia" Kai said formally as he glanced up at Rei. Rei nodded and they straightened "I thank you for coming now if you'll follow we will dine for I am sure that you are weary and hungry from your long trek from the north" smiled as he turned and walked towards the great hall making sure the others had followed.

When they sat the food was served. Rei than remembered who was with he groaned inwardly Tyson would eat everything that was set before him and ask for more for sure. He took a sip of his wine and smiled at Kai who was seated at his left. "Tell me where is your grandfather Mr. Hiwatari?" he asked setting down the glass.

Tala and Bryan looked up and looked at Kai to see what his would be. "My grandfather will join us sometime tomorrow. He had business to attend and could not come with us today" Kai answered easily as he glanced at Rei. Rei nodded his understanding "I know how that works do not worry. I look forwards to meeting Voltaire Hiwatari again" Rei said although deep down he got a weird feeling. Which seemed to have seeped into Drigger who was at his feet and growled low in his throat at the mention of Voltaire's name. "Drigger it is not polite to growl when guests are at the table" Max said looking under the table and saw the tiger's piercing gold eyes looking at him. Rei smiled as the tiger purred and quieted.

"That is quite a tiger" Tala whispered as he took a sip of his drink eyeing the prince carefully. "Yes he was a cub when he was given to me when I was still a kitten myself" Rei said absentmindedly not realizing he had released one of the families most guarded secrets. "A kitten?" Bryan cut in with a raised eyebrow. Rei's eyes widened at the question he had hoped they would let it slip but they were smart. "Um...Ye" "Master Rei I please speak to you in private?" Xin said as he walked towards them quickly.

Rei blinked "Yes, please excuse me" he said to the others as he stood and followed his advisor to a room at the end of the hall. "What is Xin?" he asked as he looked towards the others as he closed the doors. "You know very well that you must never speak of your true heritage" Xin scolded the neko-jin. "Yes I know I'm not supposed to but it slipped out I didn't even realize it until one of them asked about it" Rei tried to defend himself. "It's okay kitten it's okay" Xin said drawing the neko-jin into a hug "By the way what were you going to answer?" he inquired. Rei smiled brightly "That it was what everyone called me at the time and I got used to it" "Good now back before they suspect anything" Xin said and they both headed back into the dinning hall. "Thank you for that information Xin" Rei said smiling as he sat down again. "You're welcome Master Rei I'll take my leave now" Xin bowed and walked away without another word.

"What was all that about?" Tyson asked voicing the question the three Russians had. "At what time would the service take place and how long I it should last" Rei answered lying easily, he then turned back to Bryan "What was your question again..." he trailed off at the realization that he didn't know his name. "My name is Bryan Kuznetsov" Bryan answered catching unto why Rei had trailed off "And I asked why you called yourself a kitten?" "Well that was what my mother and many others called me when I was younger until I was ten years of age did they stop calling me that. Even so some of the older servants still call me kitten I guess it stuck and I even use it to address myself at times" Rei shrugged as he took a bite of his food. Bryan nodded as he glanced at Kai and Tala.

Kai did nothing but listen until a question struck him "My prince is it true that neko-jins exist? I have heard that they are a cross between cat and human is it true?" Rei swallowed and nodded "Yes they do exist but they do not reside in this part of china. From the little I know they reside in the mountains" he answered "Would it be possible for a neko-jin to be working within your palace or in this city for that matter?" Kai asked trying to find some kind of lie in the prince's words. "Yes it is possible although it would be hard to find one. A neko-jin is said to look like a human but have the grace and posture os a feline among other things such as their ears, teeth and their ability to react with incredible reflexes" Rei answered "Of course that's what the books in my father's library say, I have never seen a neko-jin before." Kai nodded finding the questions were getting him nowhere.

"If I may ask how would one know that they are a neko-jin if they were raised away from their people?" Tala asked sitting up a bit. "To tell the truth I know not but I think that the shape of their ears would probably give in the way and then add with the canines also but other that I'm not sure" Rei answered it was becoming increasingly hard for him to lie about his heritage and he was quite glad his ears were well covered by his circlet and hair.

"Tyson you're being messy stop it" Max scolded his lover as he wiped some sauce off his cheek. Rei shook his head smiling at the pair "Tyson I wonder if your brother eats like that" he mused. "He doesn't sometimes I find it hard to believe they're related" Max said smiling at Rei "Hey I don't appreciate that Maxie" Tyson sulked but still kept eating. "Doesn't alter his appetite though" Kai said his face showing disgust.

"Please forgive them they are my friends and have supported me throughout my ordeal" Rei apologized looking at the three Russians with an apologetic look. "Don't worry my prince" Tala said as he took a sip from his glass and pushed away his plate. "Well it seems everyone is done except Tyson" Rei said giving Tyson a look but the guy was oblivious to it. "Don't worry Rei I'll stay with Tyson you go ahead and go and talk to your guests" Max said smiling at Rei who nodded and led the way for the other three.

Tala and Bryan followed just behind Kai. Tala made a face at the jingling sound of the jewels on the princes's circlet "Those things are going to drive me nuts" he whispered "It's worse if you're wearing it" Rei said having been able to hear him. Tala blinked at being heard "Um.." "It's okay I want to yank them off as well but I can't otherwise I will have Xin lecturing me all night about the importance of the circlet" Rei said as he opened the door to a sitting room.

Tala and Bryan quickly walked in. Kai took the door from Rei and smiled softly at Rei. Rei inclined his head and walked in Kai following and closing the door. Rei walked swiftly to one of the chairs and sat and gestured for the other three to sit as well. Tala and Bryan sat close to each other while Kai chose a chair beside the sofa.

Rei looked at each of them in turn and stopped on Kai. "Tell me why are you really here? For I know that my father and your grandfather were not as close as they seemed" Rei asked his golden eyes piercing the three Russians. "We know not what you speak of my prince we came here to give our condolences for your father's death" Tala answered blinking innocently. "Forgive me if I do not believe you. I have plenty of reason to not even let you stay here but since neither of you are Voltaire Hiwatari I will allow it tomorrow I will arrange for one my over lords to house you in their homes" Rei informed his tone sharp and unyielding. Bryan's eyes narrowed upon the prince "How dare you?" he snarled standing and walking threateningly towards Rei.

Rei's eyes slitted and swiftly dodged the blow that had been aimed at his head. "I would suggest you sat back down Mr. Kuznetsov remember you are in China now not Russia" Rei reminded from where he stood leaning against the wall. "Bryan! Sit back down now!" Kai ordered fire burning in the crimson orbs. Bryan blinked and swiftly went back to sit down. "For that just now I could have had you all executed but I'm not I don't want Voltaire all over me for killing his grandson and companions with apparently no excuse" Rei explained as he went to sit back down.

"May I speak with you alone?" Kai asked looking Rei straight in the eyes. "Sure Drigger can always escort your companions back to their rooms" Rei said nodding his consent "Or do you wish to cool off first and then meet me?" he asked standing. "I'll go with them then I'll speak to you" Kai said and bowed. The other two followed his lead bowing as well. Rei nodded and they left swiftly and quietly; not even a backwards glance at him.

"You make me very proud Master Rei" Xin said after a few moments as he walked in. "Were you hearing our conversation Xin?" Rei asked as he made his way to site behind the desk. "No but by the looks on their faces it showed that you didn't let any of them get what they wanted" Xin said smiling. "Xin tell me exactly what kind of diplomatic troubles did my father and Voltaire have?" Rei asked he pulled out a paper that had some of the diplomatic issues during his father's rule.

"It's hard to tell, they were mostly neutral to each other. When you were thirteen though they seemed to be working on a plan which is why trade between Russia rose leaving behind the trading of the other countries" he explained shrugging. Rei nodded reading over the log that had all the trading information on it. "Well I'll leave this for after my father's service. I will personally speak to Voltaire and Kai" Rei said taking all the papers and putting them in the desk and locked it. "You are heading to your chambers Master Rei?" Xin asked standing "No, I'm heading towards the gardens I'm in need to clear my head, but do tell Jenna to have my things ready for when I get back.

"What would you like the scents to be?" Xin asked "Um go to the healer he said he had made a relaxing scent I don't know what it is but I'd like that one and tell them to have the unscented oil for after my bath" Rei answered smiling. "Very well Master Rei, will Drigger be accompanying you?" "Ask him but I think he will come with me, right Drigger?" he asked looking at the white tiger. The tiger purred and nuzzled Rei's leg. "Very well then I will go and inform Jenna and your other servants my prince" he said bowing and heading out the door quickly.

Rei sighed he was happy that Xin hadn't heard the near argument he had with Kai and his friends. He smiled and headed out the door Drigger on his heels. When he neared the doors to the outside he was stopped by one of his servants. "My prince one of your guests wishes to speak with you" he said bowing "Tell me who he is?" "I do not know his name but his eyes are that of the color of red wine and his hair is shaded in two different colors" he explained. "Lead his to the grounds that's where I'll be" Rei answered as another servant laid a cloak on Rei's shoulders. The other servant nodded and went on his way.

Rei walked outside to the freezing cold. He shivered and drew his cloak closer to himself and walked down the invisible path to the grounds. I

It was still snowing and he smiled as he neared the sakura tree he always went to. It was nothing but a bare tree now but he knew that during the spring the tree would bloom the most beautiful sakura flowers on the grounds.

Rei unclasped his cloak and let it fall to the snow covered ground followed by the top layer of his robes leaving him in just a simple kimono. He then reached up and removed the circlet from his head and carefully laid it down on the his clothes. He looked over at Drigger who was giving him a disapproving look. "I'll be fine you worry too much" he said to the tiger who just purred and curled around himself.

"The great prince is going to get sick being out here like that" a voice cut into Rei's musings. Rei turned to face the two toned hair and smiled some "Are your friends cooled off?" he asked "Especially Bryan?" "Yes I'm sorry for his actions he sometimes forgets who he's talking to" Kai said getting closer noting the white tiger following his every move with it's golden orbs. "Drigger go inside and make sure Xin gets the stuff I needed" Rei said to the tiger. Drigger growled but went on his way back to the palace.

Rei frowned as if he had understood what the tiger had meant with his growl. "Is it okay if we leave all formalities when we're in each others company? You can call me Rei" he proposed, Kai nodded and smiled faintly "Sure and you can call me Kai." "Okay Kai what is it that you wanted?" Rei asked leaning against the tree.

Kai looked at Rei and blinked, Rei looked magnificent; ebony bangs covered in snow surrounding his face along with a royal green kimono to top it off. "Actually I just wanted to do this" he said his brain having little say in what his body was doing. "Huh?" Rei looked up and noticed Kai was almost on top of him pinning him against the tree. "Forgive me" he heard Kai whisper before all rational thought left Rei. He closed his eyes as he felt Kai's lips touch his in a gentle kiss.

Rei hesitantly wrapped his arms around Kai's neck pulling the two tone hair closer to himself. Kai pressed firmer into the kiss pressing Rei further into the tree silently asking for entrance into Rei's hot cavern. Rei elicited a moan as he felt Kai's wet tongue slip into his mouth. A fire of passion ignited within the two. If looked close enough the snow falling would melt if it was within range of the heat emitting from the two. Kai ran his tongue over everything he could reach his tongue came into contact with a rather sharp canine almost pricking his tongue. He ignored it and proceeded to plunder deeper into Rei's mouth.

Rei's arms tightened around Kai's neck pressing them further together. Slowly he felt one of Kai's hands running up his side making him gasp and moan at the same time. Kai slowly pulled away and slowly trailed hot kisses down Rei's jaw and finally his neck. "Oh Kai" Rei moaned his canines lengthening a bit as he moved his head to allow more space for Kai's tongue and lips. "Mmm Rei you taste wonderful" he murmured against the other's skin as he kissed and nipped at it. Rei closed his golden orbs shining with lust and desire and nothing more.

RKRKRKRKRK

"I swear he really pissed me off!" Bryan growled as he paced his lover's room. "Would you calm down. I think it's better that Kai went alone he may be able to get more information alone than with us there so calm down love" Tala said from where he laid on the bed reading a book he had taken off the shelf. "Why are you so calm?" the lilac hair said looking over at the redhead. "Because I know what he's doing" azure orbs flashed with amusement as he looked up at Bryan. "Oh do prey tell what is he doing?" Bryan asked walking over to him.

Tala smirked "I'll tell you if you come here" he said Bryan nodded and sat beside him. "What?" he said leaning closer a smirk crossing his lips. Tala slowly sat up and wrapped his arms around Bryan's neck. "He's using the oldest trick in the book my dear Bryan the oldest it's called seduction" he murmured kissing Bryan hard on the lips. "Mmm I see but the little prince isn't stupid you know he won't fall for it easily if he does fall for it" Bryan murmured laying a trail of kisses down Tala's jaw line. "It's worth a shot don't you think?" he asked letting out a strangled moan where Bryan nipped just under his earlobe.

"Yeah it is. Now enough talk and more action" he commanded pushing Tala down on the bed as he climbed over him. Tala growled as he grinned a wolfish grin "Well come on falcon let's see what you got." "My pleasure...and yours" he added after thinking as he grinned, slowly ridding them both of their tunics.

KRKRKRKRKR

"Kai not here" Rei moaned trying to pry Kai of him. Somehow they had ended up on the snow covered ground. "Just a little more" he murmured as he sucked on Rei's pointed ear. "Kai...please not here" he panted twisting out of Kai's lips sucking on his ears. Kai looked into Rei's face blinking at what he saw. Half lidded lust filled golden eyes, flushed cheeks, bruised lips and ebony locks spread around his head creating a black halo covered in little snow flakes it was a sight to behold. Kai growled but complied nonetheless. "And do tell where do you plan to carry this on?" he asked "We can't Kai, I need to suppress my urges until I get married" Rei said his eyes downcast and he tried to sit up.

Kai growled pushing Rei back onto the snow covered ground "Rei quit lying to yourself you want it as much as I do" he said running a hand up Rei's thigh. Rei moaned his eyes coating again with lust "Fine let's go to my chambers" he whispered no longer caring that his pointed ears and canines were in full view.

Kai smirked and stood helping Rei up off the ground.

Rei quickly walked to the pile on his clothes and quickly dressed again not bothering to put on his circlet. "Come on before my guards think that I've died out here" he said wiping his face. Kai nodded and followed the prince up to the palace.
