Torn

Ch. 7 What do you mean?

I sigh…I hate this…I swear this is some sort of torture or something…not even my glares can save me…or my puppies! I thought them how to attack people…I've tried every way of getting out of this stupid form of torture…

"Ha! Kai loses…AGAIN!" card games…

"Leave me alone Tala! You know I suck at these! It's torture I say! I didn't even want to play!"

"But you did." Rei said, as if I joined in.

"Yea right Kon! You practically dragged me here!" It's Sunday. We started of playing simple games. Then we went on to the more complicated ones…both I hate…

"Come on Kai! Pokers not that hard!"

"I find sevens hard do you really think I'd find poker easy?"

"Err…" I nodded.

"Still Kai," Tala started…oh hell. "You lost, and you have to pay the price." To keep you up to date. We are now playing strip poker. How the HELL I managed to get into this situation, I do not know. What I have done to deserve this, I also, do not know. But this is where it stops.

"I'm not playing any more!" I said. No way was I taking my trousers off for their sheer enjoyment.

"No. You agreed you would stop playing once you got down to your trousers. And you are here. So we will let you go when you take them off. Not before."

"Hey, can I keep these?" I looked at Rei. He had my Arm guards on and was smiling.

"Fine."

"Yey!"

"And about those?" Tala said pointing to my trousers. I stood up and undid the belt letting them slide down me and stepped out of them.

"Can I go now?" Tala nodded. Rei was to interested in my arm guards to answer, I thought I saw a slight blush cross his face when I looked at him. I sat on the couch and started grinning. Tala looked at Rei…who was still fiddling with my arm guards. I stood back up and walked out the room. "I'm going to the shower, do not disturb me!" I walked out

(Going out of Kai's view into Tala's)

I grinned at Rei. We could now hear loud thumping Rock music coming from upstairs. He looked at me and gulped.

"Ready Rei?" He shook his head.

"Can I quit?" I shook my head. He groaned. We started playing. "Do the arm guards classify?" He asked as he lost. I looked deep in thought for a moment.

"Nope." He reluctantly took them off and took his hair tie out, placing it on the table. "That's…four things you keep in your hair?" He nodded. "Man, get a life."

"So I have lots of hair ties! So! I have long hair!" I shrugged. We went on a bit longer.

"I saw the way you looked at Kai earlier. You can't hide it from me." He looked at me with genuine confusion. "Man Rei, you don't know what I'm talking about?" He shook his head. "Let me take you back a few minutes in time, to when Kai completely lost. Then. NOW do you know what I'm talking about?" He turned bright, bright red. His face was literally light up.

"N-no!" He was too quick. He defiantly knew.

"Yea, sure you don't." I said sarcastically. I looked back at my cards. He's so gonna be thrashed!

(Back to Kai.)

I walked into the living room. Tala was grinning and Rei was lying on the floor.

"Hey Kai, Just in time!" I looked at him.

"For what?" I looked between them both. I sighed and sat down. "Told you poker was a bad game to play with Tala. But would you listen to me? No! You just went ahead and said, 'I'll be fine!' Pft. Like that worked." Rei glared at me. "You need to work on your glare." Rei sighed and started to unbutton his shirt.

"Go any slower and you'll be going backwards." Tala said, still looking impressed with himself. Rei removed the white shirt and stared blankly at Tala. "Man, how many shirts do you wear?"

"Shut up!" Rei said.

"I'm rooting for Rei." I said. "Even though he's gonna lose, I want someone to beat you at this." Tala smirked.

"Not gonna happen."

"Rei! Just pull it over your head already, I don't have all day!" I snapped. I hadn't walked the dogs yet. He tugged off his shirt. I suddenly found myself unable to look away. I gazed at his perfect chest.

"Stop looking at my like that Kai!" Rei said I blinked. Realizing what I was staring at with so much interest. I looked at Rei's face, a adorable blush had stained his face. I then looked at the object Rei was glancing at every now and then…Tala…I don't know why, but it was like a big flood washed over me, and I suddenly hated Tala. Tala was looking at Rei with a very evil smirk across his face.

"Ok." I said. They looked at me. "What's going on?" Rei blushed even more

"Nothing! It's nothing! Nothing to do with anything we talk about! Nothing! Your mind is playing tricks on you!" I couldn't help but laugh at Rei's desperateness, Tala joined me.

"Right, let us carry on, shall we?" Tala said regaining himself almost. Rei didn't look very happy at us. But decided to carry on.

"Unreal."

"You have GOT to be kidding me!"

"I can't believe it!" Rei stood up. "I WON!" He started jumping up and down in happiness. I was gob-smacked. Tala was staring at the table with a gormless expression, I was smiling.

"He beat you dude!" I said and high-fived Rei. Tala stood up.

"Congrats." He said smiling. "I'd love to see you against Bryan!"

"Is he any good?" Rei asked. Tala nodded.

"I haven't played him yet, but he is awesome." Tala said. "He's part of a club, also how we get our money." I smirked.

"That was so funny!" Tala nodded. "He's been trying to get Tala to play against him."

"Why don't you?"

"Cause he's a chicken."

"Nice way of putting it Kai. Thank you." Tala said.

"You're very welcome." I said grinning. I looked at Rei who was poking the clothes. "What are you doing?"

"Deciding what I want to take of course! I want some souvenirs!" He picked up all my clothes. "I won't take Tala's, he's only visiting." And he walked out the room…correction…

"Run Rei! Run for your Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife!"

"KON!"
