Chapter3
The storm was battling on, outside the wind caused the widow pain to rattle violently as a certain neko jinn tried to sleep.
I shuddered as I felt a burst of air stream past my face. I tried to wrap myself up tighter in the mass of sheets I really didn't like storms I risked a quick glance back to Kai who was huddled at the edge of his side of the bed. All that could be seen of the ice caption was a tuft of blue hair in the mass of sheets I gave a small sigh as I rolled back to my original position and started to fall asleep… Slowly…
Max looked around the room he saw the sun cascade through a slit in the curtains and fall onto the two sleeping teens and the mix of black and blue hair. Max blinked once, twice.
"Hey Max have you woke up Ray yet Kai must have left Ray asleep" Max shut the door to the room as quietly as he could and creped into the living room
"I think Kai's having a lye in this morning… Hey Chief can I borrow Dizzy for a moment we simply have to get this on camera."
"Erm sure but why what's going on" just then Tyson came bursting through the door "Ok I know I'm late, where's Kai I'm soooo dead don't panic don't panic this can all be sorted if any one asks I got up and took an early morning run."
"Tyson its ok for once your not the last person to get up… Now stay hear a moment then I've really got something to show you." Max grabbed Dizzy pressed the mute button and quietly snuck in to Kai and Rays bed room poked his head around the door and with a snigger took a digital photo. This was going to be soooooooo much fun, not to mention blackmail material.
I felt warm and comfortable and snug I really didn't want to wake up, I moved closer to the source of warmth. This is definitely a better way to wake up than nightmares. I started to drift off to the sound of shallow breathing just then I was jarred awake by some thing moving next to me… hang on???
I could feel a beam of sunlight falling across my chest. Well if the suns up then it can't be that early. I turned my head to face the blurry clock on the bed stand; it blinked 10:45 in those irritating red letters 10:45 Kai's going to go ballistic I've missed morning practice. I looked down expecting to see the stripe of light that had been keeping me warm all morning but instead I saw a mass of blue hair. I'm sooooo dead I looked back down to the slumbering form of Kai as his brow furrowed Oohh baka baka baka I must have moved go back to sleep please go back to sleep don't wake up ohh no your waking up sshhiitt.
Max came bouncing back through to the living room looking very pleased with him self. "So what's all the fuss about Maxie?" asked an inquisitive Tyson trough a few mouthfuls of breakfast. "Chief I think I've found a way to stop Kai killing you for last night.." "What do you mean by that?" asked Tyson as he leaned over Max's shoulder and peered at the screen. "Oohhh." On the screen was a photograph of Kai and Ray, Kai was asleep leaning on Ray's chest while Ray had an arm protectively wrapped around Kai's waist holding the other boy close. "Man this is gunna be worth a least a week's worth of blackmail. No more training for us."
"Yeah but who's going to show him the photo…" asked max. The chief tried to back away from the all to friendly teens, "No way hosay not me, I'd prefer to try and deal with the plain angry Kai than the one that we've tried to blackmail, probably unsuccessfully." Just then there was a crash from further down the hall and Ray walked through into the hallway looking deep in thought oblivious to all around him. The rest of the Blade Breakers stepped aside and let him pass, unhindered, into the kitchen. "I hate it when he dose that it's almost like he's meditating and functioning at the same time, and we're just waiting for the cry of eureka."
All in all it hasn't been a particularly good morning. Ray thought as he walked into the living room, it wasn't waking up next to Kai that wasn't that unpleasant, it was more the fact that he hadn't got angry with me, he just looked extremely flustered which was a rather cute look on the teen but… you see that's the problem, Kai Hittawarti and cute should never go in the same sentence. Even the fan girls don't call him cute, hot, gorgeous, ew, ew I've turned into a fan girl… aaaahhhh this isn't helping! I wish he'd just got mad and hit me, it would have saved this internal debate, I mean I thought I was gay I'd even told the team and well they were cool with it. I got one or two comments from Tyson doing the whole 'Are you sure that it's not just because Mariah follows you every were, have you tried dating?' Then I had to admit that I hadn't had much experience because growing up in a village were every girl that comes near you gets scared off by Mariah, and then becoming famous tends to limit the hole social thing. But then I kept pondering what he'd said. Had Mariah turned me gay, ohh that could be on Oprah 'yes my female stalker turned me gay…' but then there's the thousand-dollar question is Kai male or female? I know the body's female but the mind, and how he acts, maybe I should ask Kai whether to call him male or female, In my own head. I can see that question going down like a tone of bricks ' So Kai, about your gender issues…' aaahhh what am I to do now.
Something drifted past my nose as I snapped back to reality. Bacon. I noticed that I was standing in the kitchen. mmmmmm food always a bonus. I noticed that there were pans in the sink huh, chief must have had a bacon sandwich for breakfast, I think I'll copy. Should I make one for Kai? I thought as I grabbed the packet out of the fridge… why's my life so screwed up…
This is not a good day, Kai thought as she climbed out of the shower. I manage to keep this a secret for years even Talla doesn't know, and then the first time some one find out we end up sleeping together, well not in that sense, but I haven't been that close to any one since the last time Boris decided to beat the crap out of me…what the hell am I going to say to him, what can I say to him 'yes remember all that respect that you had for me well I just lost it all in one day. First you find out that I'd just lost an important part of my anatomy and gained a couple of other things, then you see me pass out REAL smooth, so dignified, and THEN I use you as my own personal teddy bear. Stupid warm, comfy, cuddly, WRONG FRAME OF MIND KAI, GET YOUR HEAD OUT THE GUTTER………………………… I really need professional help. Control… Get some control over your self… Kai slowly stepped up to the large mirror above the sink and stared long and hard into her reflection's blood red eyes. She ran a hand down the length of her face noticing how feminine and gentle her face looked without the blue triangles almost naked. Needing her male persona she reached down into the bag that she'd brought through into the bathroom, and pulled out the small tin of blue paint, as she applied the triangles she thought. One for body. As she did this, her back stiffened and posture returned. One for mind a deep intake of breath one for personality, the eyes became distant, a pale crimson. One for secrets and two to hold the masks in place he thought sternly as he finished the routine job of sealing himself off from the world. I am not going to turn into some kind of pathetic fan girl because of some irregularities. He thought as he scowled at his reflection and ran a hand over the large scar around the top of his neck, he quickly covered it with a scarf and then left the room bag in hand.
