Chapter 9 (Poll is still on but I was just bored with waiting)
Ray decides to make something to eat for Kai to make him feel better.
Forgetting what the others had said, Ray set his sights on the task in front of him.
Opening the fridge, Ray looks around for something Kai should have and that he would actually eat.
Deciding on making a salad, Ray pulls out some lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, ranch dressing, tomatoes, and potatoes.
Putting the ingredients on the island counter, he goes to the top cabinets and pulls out a bowl.
After cutting the parts up, Ray places them in the bowl and mixes them up.
He pulls out a fork then picks the bowl up and makes his way to Kai's room.
As he passes through the living room, he sees that his friends are no where around and is most grateful.
He didn't want to go through what he did before again.
Entering the room Kai and he share, he sees that Kai is sleeping in his (Kai's) bed.
Going to Kai's side, Ray places the salad on the night table then says, "Kai. Wake up."
"Ray?" Kai moans out as he opens his eyes and looks at the neko-jin in question.
"You have to eat something," Ray says.
"Too tired," Kai says and closes his eyes again.
"Kai. You have to stay awake," Ray says.
Kai opens his eyes again and slowly sits up.
Silence fills the room until the phone rings.
"Shouldn't you get that?" Kai asks.
"And leave you to fall asleep again, I think not," Ray says. "One of the others can get it."
"Brat," Kai says as the phone stop ringing.
"A brat who cares about you," Ray says. "Now you are going to eat and you are going to like it."
"I'll eat it but I can't promise I'll like it," Kai says.
"Now who's the brat," Ray says.
"I learn from the best," Kai says.
"Who? Tyson?" Ray asks.
"Exactly," Kai says smiling.
Ray smiles back.
Someone knocks on the door.
"What do you want?" Kai asks.
"Tala called," Tyson says.
"What?" Kai asks. "Please tell me that you didn't tell him that I have the chicken pox."
"I did," Tyson says.
"Tyson, you are so dead!" Kai screams.
"Eeep," Tyson says and runs back to his room.
"Why is he dead?" Ray asks.
"Now Tala will come here and hassle me about having the chicken pox," Kai says.
"Has he had them?" Ray asks.
"Yeah," Kai says. "While he did, we couldn't see each other."
"You two should have so you could have gotten them over with," Ray says.
"I wish," Kai says.
"Now back to you eating," Ray says.
"You really are set on that, aren't you?" Kai asks.
"I'm not leaving the room until you do," Ray says.
"This is your room, too," Kai points out. "You have ever right to stay."
"Back to being a brat," Ray says.
"When was I anything else?" Kai asks.
Ray smiles at that.
When is right, Ray thinks.
That's it for now.
Tala is going to come into the picture but that doesn't mean that he is going to end up with Kenny.
He's just coming to annoy Kai.
But I have to say that I don't get the deal of putting Kenny with Emily (who is in the lead) or with Tala (who is close second) but if you guys want it I guess I could do one of those or I could do both; have Kenny go out with Tala a few times then Tala breaks up with him and leaves afterwards Emily comes to visit.
Do you like the idea?
Well it all depends on who comes out on top. (On the poll, not in the bedroom)
I don't know if any of you were thinking that but I was.
Any ways, thanks to all whom have voted so far.
You know what pairing you want and you tell me.
Good for you.
Tell me what you think of this and of the poll.
Thanks again and bye for now.
