A/N: Again I got a lot reviews which makes me really happy :) And I want you to know that although I don't answer the reviews it doesn't mean I don't appreciate them, because they really make my day! But I will answer if you ask something.

I'm glad you liked my Kai, to be honest I was a bit scared of what you think about his thoughts :) (and I'm not gonna make a fool of him, so don't worry humanoid-kitten)

Warnings: bad language, yaoi, OOC:ness (now, I must warn you, I've made Tala and Bryan really perverted(read:sex maniacs) so if that's something you can't handle then I apologize)

Disclaimer: Don't own the characters.

The airport is really noisy, too noisy for my liking. It's also filled with people. Some of them are running to catch their flight while some of them are just standing there or moving really slowly preventing the runners from making it to their planes on time. And then there is the group of people who are just saying goodbye to someone or waiting for someone they know to appear from one of the arriving airplanes. We are among the latter ones.

Takao and Max are playing some stupid hand game which the latter just taught to the before mentioned. I'm just sitting on a chair, very bored. We have been here waiting for the plane to arrive for like ages already. It's late. Kai is sitting next to me with his hands folded over his chest. I'm still trying to avoid his eyes. And I must admit I'm pretty good at it.

Suddenly, after for what seemed like hours, a loud 'ding dong' is heard from the loudspeaker followed by a monotonous female voice informing the arrival of the plane coming from Russia. The exact plane Bryan and Tala should be arriving. Soon the airport is filled with Russians and a few not-Russians coming from Russia. But no sight of Tala or Bryan.

Ten minutes later I'm almost sure they tricked us. They weren't even going to come here in the first place. They just told us so getting some sick kind of satisfaction over sending us to the airport to wait for them pointlessly.

I turn my head to look at Kai. So much for the avoiding plan. I'm too bored. "Where are they?" I ask him as if really thinking he knows any better. You never know, maybe he does.

He turns his crimson eyes to my amber ones. "How the fuck should I know" I narrow my eyes a bit, annoyed. "I don't know" Really? There is something the great Kai Hiwatari doesn't know.

I hear a low growl rising from my throat. Kai must hear it too since a smirk spreads across his face. "You should", I snap at him. For some reason I'm extremely pissed off right now. Maybe it has something to do with the airplane being late. And I'm sure this new 'gift' of mine affects my moods also. It's not like I'm enjoying it.

For my surprise I hear Kai chuckling a bit. "Aww, the kitty is angry"

I send him my best glare and turn away. "Go find them" From the corner of my eye I can see the slate-haired boy raise a fine eyebrow at me.

"I'd rather not", comes the reply in a while.

"But you are their friend", I mumble, sinking deeper into my chair.

"And you're not?"

After a few seconds I shrug, sighing softly. "Guess I am…"

Now Kai smirks. "Good. Now, go find them" I look at him again, puzzled. His eyes are closed. Soon he, however, opens them again, sensing my gaze. He turns to look at me his eyes asking a silent question.

I give him a raised eyebrow. "Why me?"

He grins evilly and leans his back closer to the back of his chair. "Because I'm not going"

I snort and stand up. "Fine"

Not until now Takao is able to rip his eyes off the blond boy next to him. He looks up at me, still holding Max's hands. "Where are you going, Rei?"

I stop to look at him. "To get our Russians" Without waiting for his answer I stride off to the direction the Russian passengers came minutes ago, assuming that would be the best place to start searching.

After wandering around the airport for a good while pointlessly I decide to check the flights. Maybe they weren't supposed to come yet in this plane but the next. I doubt it though; Kai's arrangements hardly ever fail. I stop to stand in front of the timetable and start looking for the flight in question. Once finding it, I sigh. That was the last flight coming from Russia today.

Suddenly I feel like someone is trying to drill a hole through my back with their eyes. Just as I'm going to turn around I hear a mischievous sort of inward laughter followed by equally mischievous wheedling.

"Here, kittykittykitty…" I frown and turn around, just in time to catch Tala's wrist as he shoots his hand towards me, for only God knows what reason.

For a moment we just stare at each other. His icy blue eyes piercing me like laser rays. I try to stare him back with equally piercing gaze though I'm pretty sure my eyes will never affect him as much as his affect me. Then I let go of his wrist, laughing a bit.

"I could be offended you know", I remark smiling.

The red-haired youth gives me an innocent look. "For what?"

"You staring at my back like that", I answer and move my gaze a bit past Tala, seeing Bryan approaching from behind him. Then I look at the boy in front of me again.

Tala has now a playful smirk on his face. "Can't help it, it's such a nice back"

Now I can't help laughing. Tala is such an idiot. "Watch it or you're going to get a jealous Bryan after you" My eyes move to the said Russian who is now standing beside Tala.

"What? Me? Jealous over something like this?" Bryan snorts pointing at Tala while his right arm snakes around the redhead's waist. For a reward of this he gets an elbow to his rib.

"Moron", Tala mumbles in supposed-to-be-angry voice but the affectionate smile he casts at the lavender-haired boy betrays him.

I smile at the two Russians. But no matter how cute they are together I feel more than ready to return to the hotel. "We should now go to the others, they are waiting and I'm sure they are not very happy with it" Tala and Bryan just nod and grab their luggage. I start walking quickly to where I left my friends earlier, the two boys following right after. "So, where were you? We've been waiting for almost two hours"

"Well, you see the plane was late", Tala explains and I answer him with a nod. "But you already knew that" Another nod. Then Tala smirks and glances at Bryan. "Bryan got stuck in the customs"

I chuckle at this. "Somehow I feel like I don't even want to know why"

Tala shakes his head. "I'm sure you don't" Bryan chooses to throw him a glare and stay silent.

Even Tala manages to keep himself silent for the rest of our way to my team. Not that it even takes that long for us to get to them. We find Max and Takao still playing the same stupid hand game that I don't think has even an idea at all. I suppose it was just Max's way to get the opportunity to stare at the navy-haired boy without making anyone suspicious. Or that's what he thinks. And then there is Kai. Our oh-so-ever-happy team leader, being his usual self, sitting still on his chair arms folded and eyes closed as if trying to block the voices of the airport from his mind. Who knows, maybe he is able to do that.

Quietly Tala puts his bag on the floor and sneaks up to Kai, throwing his arms around the dual-haired boy.

I can almost see Kai startle, but just almost. He opens his crimson eyes to glare at the still on his neck clinging Tala. "Jesus, don't ever scare me like that again," he growls mentally. "Let go of me," he demands coolly. I have difficulties in suppressing the smile that tries to break free on my lips. I'm not sure if I should be honoured for being able to peer into Kai's hidden thoughts. Maybe I should be ashamed. After all, I don't have his permission to do so.

Tala takes a few steps back and smirks at the angry looking Russian. "Nice to see you too Kai, I'm fine thanks for asking" Then he takes a good look at the boy in front of him, scanning him all the way from top to toe. "You haven't changed a bit since we last met," he says while his smirk widens. "Still as damn hot as ever" At this I raise an eyebrow though Tala can't see it since I'm facing his back. What was that?

Kai, however, notices my little gesture of astonishment and locks his eyes with mine. I can tell he's studying me. "Rei has been acting somewhat strangely today…" I see him suppress a smirk. "I'm going to find out what it is"

Being uncomfortable with him staring at me like that I turn on my heels mumbling a "We should go" and then almost too quickly striding off to get us a taxi.

"Neither have you, Tala, still as bigmouthed as always," I hear Kai's voice remark from behind me before I'm out of earshot.

I hear someone running after me. "Rei, wait up!" Max calls out. I realize I'm walking really fast and decide to slow down, soon having the blond boy walking beside me. I cast him a quick smile and we continue walking in silence.

Soon the six of us are sitting in a taxi, on our way back to the hotel. I'm on the passenger's seat again while the rest are on the backseat. We had to take a bit bigger taxi to get us all fit in. And yet the space is so small it seems like I'm hearing a lot more of their thoughts although some of them are so vague that I can't get any sense in them. And everything I get from Bryan is in Russian so he remains a mystery to me.

Every once in a while the taxi driver tries to chat with me and I answer him politely though I'm not very eager to talk to him, or anyone for that matter. On the backseat on the other hand the group is very vivacious. Except Kai, that is. He's sitting there quiet while the two other Russians are flirting with each other like there's no tomorrow. Takao and Max are also flirting though they try to make it look like a normal chat.

All of a sudden Tala jumps half into Bryan's lap to look out the window. "What was that?" the boy asks moving to look out the rear window.

I glance back. "Some amusement park which's name I don't know," I say getting the red-haired Russian to turn around, a smirk on his face.

"I want to go there," he announces. Bryan raises him an eyebrow.

"What?" Tala turns to look at his boyfriend.

"Tomorrow. Let's go to that amusement park tomorrow" Tala snuggles closer to Bryan. "Right Bry?" Kai, who is sitting next to Tala, rolls his eyes, visibly annoyed.

"Why can't they even try to behave themselves…" he curses mentally, making me smile.

Bryan raises one of his hands to stoke the now almost in his lap sitting Tala's cheek while wrapping the other one around his waist. "Sure, Tal," he replies against his boyfriend's lips. Now they are kissing passionately. I turn around to watch the road ahead of us, not wanting to just stare at others' sweet moments. Still I find a smile stuck on my lips. From the corner of my eye I can see the taxi driver glance at the couple from the rear-view mirror. Immediately he, however, turns his gaze back to the road. Max and Takao are silent, probably not knowing what to say. They have most likely never seen Bryan and Tala kissing before. I'm not sure if they even knew they are dating…

"Didn't I say they are freaky?" Max's thought makes my smile widen.

"Just peculiar, my ass," Takao snorts mentally. I have the urge to laugh at this. Well, aren't they having a lot in common? "Um… I'm hungry," Takao says obviously trying to break the awkward silence.

Max chuckles. "You always are"

"It's not my fault," the navy-haired youth defends himself. "And it's already past lunch time"

I turn to look at him. "Ok, let's talk about it together once we are back in the hotel," I suggest before glancing out the window. "We should be there soon" For an answer I get a nod from Takao.

Now Tala manages to break the lip lock between himself and Bryan and turn to look at Kai who is still sitting next to him looking annoyed. "Kai?"

"What?" Kai answers without looking at the red-haired boy.

"Just that… is it ok if we go to the amusement park?"

"Sure," the slate-haired Russian replies raising his hand towards his friend. "But you don't need to kiss me"

Tala smirks. "Too bad" I chuckle at this. I know they are only joking. For real they are just really good friends. Actually if I'm not wrong they are best friends.

-----

I walk into the living room. Everyone else is already sitting on the couch or a chair or a loveseat. Kai and Takao are arguing about something that I probably am not interested in and Max is trying to chat with Tala and Bryan though I can see he's not comfortable around them.

"Um…" With this I get everyone's attention directed to me. "I just thought that if you guys are hungry we should go have lunch. What do you say?"

"It's about the time!" Takao exclaims cheerfully, totally forgetting he should be angry with Kai for some reason. "I'm starving"

"No shit… Hey what do you have in mind cat boy?" I turn to Bryan, narrowing my eyes a bit. Excuse me?

"Well, there's this restaurant down the street or if you want I could–" I'm cut off by Tala clapping his hands together.

"Yay, Rei-cooking! I'm gonna help you," he proclaims and grasps my hand pulling me into the kitchen before I can even try to protest. I know he's not really going to help me cook the food. I can tell he wants something.

I take out a frying pan and a kettle from a cupboard before starting to look for all the ingredients I need. All this time I'm aware of Tala watching me. "What do you want?" I ask without looking at him.

"I heard you've been clumsy lately…" Tala's voice is awfully serious, not mocking in the slightest. I feel myself tense for a brief moment. This moment is all that is needed for the Russian to move beside me.

"Yeah well, everyone has their bad moments," I try to sound normal.

"Yeah well, everyone doesn't fall down stairs while having one," Tala states before snatching a piece of red pepper from the pan. I throw him a warning glare. He smirks and moves back a couple of steps. "You seem to take it a bit too lightly, do you have any idea–" he leaves the sentence unfinished, eyeing me almost angrily. "You scared the shit out of Kai… everyone"

I almost gasp. "I… I don't, it's just…" I notice I'm lacking words. And I was sure it was Takao and his big mouth but could it be that Tala heard it from Kai? No, he doesn't care. Still I have to know. "Who… told you about it?"

Tala's eyes soften a bit and I even get a little smile out of him. "Kai, last night when we were talking on a phone" Now I can't hide my surprise. The red-haired boy tilts his head a bit to his right. "Poor Rei, you really don't know how much he cares, do you?"

I open my mouth, willing to say something but then close it considering it would be wiser to just be quiet.

Tala notices my uneasiness and shakes his head, smiling. "Just promise me, kitten, that you will be more careful from now on"

I force a smile on my lips. "Sure" A silence falls upon us. Then I notice it really is very silent. Even from the living room we hear nothing.

Tala has obviously noticed this too since he raises his both eyebrows and tilts his head a bit as if it would help him hear better. When still hearing nothing he gives out a little laugh. "I'd better go check Bryan hasn't killed everyone, he's been a bit unpredictable today…" Seeing as I raise a questioning eyebrow at him, he smirks. "More than usually, that is" The boy walks to the doorway but then stops and turns around. "You weren't gonna tell me, were you?"

I shake my head, grinning. "Sorry, Tala"

The Russian snorts and turns around. "I knew it. So this is how much you revere me," he mumbles before disappearing into the living room. I know he hears me laughing behind him.

I grab a little spoon to taste the rice with. Ow, this needs some spices…

-----

I set my plate on the table and sit down. Everyone else already has their plates and they are waiting for me. Well, everyone except Takao, who is already eating. He has no manners at all. Then we all start eating.

Takao bends over to me. "Psst, Rei," he whispers.

I turn to whisper him back. "What?"

Takao steals a quick glance at Tala, making sure the Russian isn't listening. "Tala didn't really help you make the food, did he?" I raise an eyebrow, puzzled. Then I shake my head slowly. The navy-haired teen sighs relieved. "Good," he states and continues eating. "Then it's not poisoned" I burst out laughing. Sure, Tala is also a bit unpredictable at times but I doubt he would kill us. On the other hand though… Yeah, I don't know.

Max coughs a bit, clearing his throat. "So, why are you here? I mean, did you have some specific reason to come here?" The question is most likely pointed to Bryan and Tala. Tala starts chuckling.

Bryan raises an eyebrow at Max before a smirk spreads across his face. "Can't we just come here to spend time with friends without any bigger intentions?" I'd say no. They must have their reasons for coming and I'm going to find out what they are.

Max blushes lightly. "Yeah sure, it's not… I just… that… you know" Tala chuckles even more, making Kai roll his eyes.

Bryan's smirk widens. "Yeah sure, it's… I just… that… I don't, really" He gets an elbow to his rib from Tala for the second time today. "Ouch, what?"

"That was pretty uncalled for," The redhead remarks.

I notice Max glaring with his best ability at the lavender-haired Russian who just smirks back. "You can't scare me, I'm so gonna kill you," the blond threatens in his mind.

"Bring it on, Blondie," Bryan's smirk widens even more, if that's possible.

I decide now would be the best time to say something and prevent these people from killing each other. "So, what do you have in mind then?"

Tala smiles at me almost sickeningly sweetly and immediately I regret asking anything. "Well, we're gonna get drunk and get certain people out of closet" The whole room gets silent, except for Takao who is busy choking on his food very loudly. I'm sure even the birds in a tree outside stop chirping and a silence falls as Takao also gets over his choking fit. Everyone except Bryan is staring at Tala, shocked.

Kai is the first one to break the silence. "Excuse me?"

Tala smirks obviously very pleased with himself. "You heard me"
