Forever

Chapter…9 I think…

Kai sat on the sofa with his legs up. He got out of hospital, or as Tala called it, the prison with no escape. No, Tala didn't like the hospital. He jumped a little as a sudden weight was put on his side. He looked and Rei was curled up in a ball with is face in the side of Kai's stomach. Kai smiled and shifted slightly; Rei put his head on Kai's stomach and Kai put the paper down, stroking Rei's hair, which was in a loose plait.

"What shall we do when it's time to leave?" Rei asked. Kai looked at him, Rei was looking at the wall with a dead expression. "When it's time to go back, after Christmas…what shall we do? I don't want us to be apart again."

"Either you come back to Russia, or I can go to China, I don't mind which." Rei looked at Kai.

"Really? You wouldn't mind me coming back to Russia with you?"

"Why should I?" Rei shrugged. Kai shut his eyes and continued stroking Rei.

"You bought your presents yet?"

"I bought them in Russia, I had free time at the airport." Rei scowled at him.

"You didn't seriously buy the presents at an airport, did you?" Kai laughed a bit.

"No, don't worry, I just wanted to know how gullible you are." Rei sat up and crossed his arms.

"For that, you aren't getting anything." He stated before standing up.

"Hey, come on, I was joking!" Rei suppressed a smile and stomped out the room into the kitchen. "Rei!" Kai shouted putting down his reading glasses and running after Rei. "Wait!"

Hillary was walking down to the dojo with max, max had four plastic bags, two boxes, and four small present bags in his arms, Hillary however had two plastic bags. She stopped at the corner and turned to Max, tapping her foot.

"Hurry up Max, we haven't got all day! We need to get there by tonight if that's possible." She said max slumped against the wall when he reached Hillary.

"Need…to…stop." He said, panting a little.

"Come on, you're not that week and pathetic are you?" Max nodded his head, Hillary rolled her eyes and picked up the boxes, we're almost there, hold on."

"Thank you." He said, regaining his breath a little.

"Come on Hillary, you should know not to pile so much stuff on him! He's only a little puppy still." They heard a familiar voice say. Max shrunk further into the wall, groaning. Hillary's face brightened when a blue haired girl came round the corner.

"Miriam!" She said smiling, she put her things down and ran up to the other girl. "I'm glad to know I won't be the only girl this Christmas." The girls hugged.

"Yea, it gets tiring always celebrating with boys!" Miriam agreed. She looked round the corner. "Are you going to sit there all day or do what your suppose to be doing?" Ozuma then came round the corner carrying as much as Hillary and Max were, but he was carrying it all.

"Yes your highness. Would you like anything else?" He replied in a mocking voice. She frowned and hit the back of his head. "What was that for?"

"Being rude, now stop being anti-social and say hello!" Ozuma mumbled something under his breath. "What was that?"

"Nothing…" She smiled at him.

"Good boy!"

Hillary turned to Max who was about to go to sleep. "See? Ozuma can manage to carry all this stuff, why can't you? Aren't you a world champion or something?" Max stood up sighing. Hillary picked her stuff up and the girls continued walking and chatting as the boys padded along behind them. "Hurry up, we don't have all day!"

"Yes miss…"

Tyson glared at his brother, although he knew he couldn't be angry at him for much longer. Hiro was standing in his doorway looking shocked that his little brother was there. A lady about the same age carrying a little baby in her arms and had an infant at her side came to see who was at the door. She had long brown hair and wore a long black dress. Her eyes where green and sparkled. The infant was a small girl with blue hair and the same green eyes, she ran up to Tyson.

"Uncle Tyson!" She said putting her arms out. Tyson's face softened and he picked the girl up and swung her round. "Uncle Tyson! Uncle Tyson!" She said excitedly.

"Tyson, it's a pleasure to see you, would you like to come in?" The lady asked.

"No thanks Kibanna, I was just wondering if you were doing anything this Christmas. You see, lots of my friends are coming over and I'm sure they would like to meet you" The Lady looked at Hiro. "That is, if you're free." Kibanna looked a little worried, she knew there was a lot of sibling rivalry between the two brothers. Hiro looked away with a slight look of guilt in his eyes. He then turned back to his brother and smiled.

"We would happily come, who will be there?" Tyson grinned.

"The saint shields, Zeo, Mystel, Kai, Rei, Max and Hillary…I think the other girl, Mystel's friend, was called Ruia…yea, Ruia." Hiro nodded. Kibanna smiled with that girly smile.

"That means we need to do more shopping!" She said Hiro moaned.

"Suddenly, I don't feel so good," She hit his round the back of the head. " Can't you go?"

"No, it's from both of us, we both can buy them," She walked back into the house. "Come on Shion, we need to leave daddy and Uncle Tyson alone to talk for a while." The girl Tyson was holding jumped to the floor and ran after her.

"Mummy! Wait!" Shion said, running after her, another girl from the kitchen ran in and gave Tyson a kiss on the cheek, she looked exactly like Shion. "Mion! Hurry up! Mummy will get you!" Mion ran after Shion.

"So…you don't have to work this Christmas?" Tyson said with spite.

"I'm not going to, I work every Christmas almost." Hiro replied.

"And those that your not you go on holiday with your family, of course though, you need your family time." Hiro sighed.

"Tyson, I'm sorry, I-"

"Shut up, I don't need to here this, you expect to turn up at my house with Rei and everything is better? Not a chance, I haven't seen you in about a year, whenever I came round it was only Kibanna and the other three, you were always away with work."

"Tyson, I quit work a few days ago," Tyson looked at his brother with shock. "I knew you where really mad at me, so I decided as they wouldn't let me have time of, I would quit. I'm looking for a new job…I wasn't going to tell you…but I guess I should."

"You guessed right." Tyson said, grinning again. Hiro shook his hand.

"Not mad anymore?"

"Not at all."

Ruia was straightening her dress, she wore her, now dry clothes, a purple skirt and a matching corset top. She turned to Mystel who was walking a bit in front of her with some bags and boxes; she was holding a few bags as well. He had four and she had four, but he had two boxes as well. He stopped to let her in front. They where going to her house to wrap the presents and then going to get a friend of the boys to tell him to take the presents to the dojo. She stood at the gate to her reasonably large house. They opened the gate, then the door. They walked straight to her blindingly pink room. Mystel put the boxes with hers.

"Ah! My eyes! It hurts do much! Make it stop!" He said putting his hands over his eyes and falling back onto her bed.

"Stop messing about and help me wrap the presents!" She scolded. He sat up and pouted. "Now!"

"But your room is so…pink!" He said, poking one of her stuffed toys. "And fluffy! Look at that carpet, its all furry and white and bright and-"

"Ok, I get the message, my room is pink, now help me!" He sat beside her and started wrapping. "What's the name of this person we will be picking up?" She asked, seletaping the wrapping of her presents.

"His names Zeo, and by the way, even your wrapping paper is pink and white, how can I concentrate?" She sighed.

"I think I know Zeo, he's a family friend or something, he owns the estate up the road right?" Mystel shrugged.

"I dunno, I've only met him once." She shook her head. "Greenish hair, green eyes, rich, play's the violin."

"Yea, I know him. He's really nice, we've been friends for a long time…since the accident," Mystel looked at her. "It doesn't matter, just keep wrapping your presents." He groaned again.

"Your so mean…and evil…and pi-"

"If you say that word one more time…" He fell silent and focused on the task at hand. "Good Mystel."

"Can I have a prize after?" She looked at him suspiciously.

"What KIND of prize?" He winked at her.

"Only I know that."

"Master Zeo, Miss Ruia and a boy are at the door for you." Zeo looked up at the butler.

"Thanks, I'll be down I a minute, I'll just put my stuff away." The butler nodded and descended down the stairs. Zeo put his violin away in its case, closed the book and folded his music stand back, putting it in the bag. He zipped up his case and went to greet Ruia.

"Zeo! Your house is so big!" He heard someone say, he looked in the direction and smiled.

"Thanks, glad you like it, I never expected the other person to be you Mystel," Mystel bounded up the stairs to say hello to Zeo. Ruia walked up, rolling her eyes at the Egyptian. "I never knew you to knew each other."

"Yea, we met the other day, I told you what happened right?" Ruia said. Zeo nodded.

"I'm glad you are ok, I was worried." She shook her head.

"I'm fine," Mystel nudged her side, glaring at her. "Oh, right, the reason why we're here."

Mystel explained instead. "Tyson's inviting a few friends over right? He had to go to his brothers to get him, so we came here to tell you to take your presents there now instead."

"Ok, I'll have them taken into the car, are those presents your at the door?" the two nodded. "Ok, I'll have them put in too." Ruia nodded.

"Thanks, that would be a great help," Zeo went over to one of the butlers standing at the top of the stairs. She turned to Mystel who was glaring at Zeo. "What's wrong with you now?" She questioned. Mystel blushed a deep pink at being caught.

"W-what do you mean?" She smirked.

"Don't tell me you're jealous." Mystel blushed harder.

"Why would I be jealous? I have nothing to be jealous about!" Ruia giggled. Zeo came back down.

"They're taking it into the car, would you rather walk or take a car?"

"How many cars do you have!" Mystel asked.

"I don't know, I don't count them for fun you know." Zeo replied.

"I'd rather walk." Zeo nodded.

"Same, what about you Ruia?" She nodded. "Cool, lets go."

"Race you out the door!"
