Disclaimer: What do you want me to say?

Rating: The same as every other fic I write but with KaixRei pairing and not SBxRL .-

Notes: I HATED having that off weekend. It was REALLY boring. ;.; But I'm back now and I'm really mad at myself. No matter how many time I told myself I was going to finish the last few book chapters for IB...I never did. I still have the book but it's way overdue and my friend is wanting to check it out Does her best to look innocent So...I'll hopefully finish Ch. 13 after this and maybe 14 so we can FINALLY get to the good parts. ;.; It's going to be a long do. Forgot to save reviews AGAIN . . I printed reviews for WoD but I forgot to save/print reviews for HoW. Mutters I'm really screwing everything up. Okay...Uhm...Here we are. Chapter 6. Don't know how short it'll be so bear with me.

Chapter 6 Rei didn't want to get up. He was tired and much too comfortable. But the sun seemed to insist on shining straight in his eyes and he had no choice but to open them. -Damn...- Rei rolled onto his side, remembering that he now shared a hotel room with Kai. The same Kai who no one else wanted to share a room with for fear of pissing him off for an unknown reason.
"What time is it?" Rei asked him. Kai shrugged, lifting his arm away from his eyes. "Late enough." He replied. "We wont have much time to eat"
"I'm not hungry anyway." Rei said, sitting up and glaring out the window. (A/N: Pauses to flip her Nascar magazine over so Kevin and Matt aren't staring at her)
"Neither am I. Then again, when am I ever?" Kai rolled out of bed, straightened and stretched. "I don't think today's going to be a good day for me..." Kai murmured, hardly noticing that he spoke out loud.
Rei looked up at him. "Why's that?" He asked.
Kai blinked, "Hmm"
"Why don't you think it'll be a good day"
Kai shrugged again. "I don't know." The older driver turned and went into the bathroom while Rei reluctantly got out of bed. -I don't see why everyone thinks they'll randomly piss him off. He's a lot nicer than everyone says he is. Then again...He's a lot nicer than he lets on.- Rei thought.
When Kai came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and dressing, Rei went in to do the same.
"Hey! Kai, Rei! Hurry up. Some of us would like to eat!" Tyson called from just outside the hotel room door.
"Then go alone, Tyson!" Kai replied, annoyed.
"What about Rei? You didn't throw him out the window or something, did you"
"No. I -drowned- him." Kai said sarcastically.
"What"
"Go -away- Tyson." Kai growled.
"Fine!" "Idiot..."

-What's on your mind, Kai- Dranzer asked as the green flag came out. -You don't seem to be up to this-
"I'm not...Not really"
-And I'm wondering if you have the same bad feeling about this that I have.- Dranzer said.
"It's not really a -bad- feeling. I'm just thinking that this isn't going to turn out how we hope"
"Don't worry too much, Kai. We've got a good car." Kenny said.
"We may have a good car but that doesn't mean something else wont go wrong." Kai muttered.
"You're optimistic." Rei commented. "Yeah, like always." (A/N:Turns up 'Sound the Bugle' Is Kai ever optimistic?) Kai let Kasey Kahne pass him when the rookie came up next to him. "Where are you at, Rei"
"Fourth. Why"
"Watch out for Kahne. He's got a strong car"
"Thanks"
Rei could tell that Kai was smiling when he responded, "I just don't want you all crashing when I'm right here"
"He just doesn't want to admit that he actually cares." Kyra said.
"I'm guessing they allowed you two to mess with the connections even more." Kai said. It was obvious that Kyra and Kenny could now hear what both drivers were saying as well as both drivers could hear both crew chiefs.
"Yup. You've got Newman on your tail, Kai." Kyra warned.
"Not for long. Sorry, Rei. But I'm giving him to you." Kai had caught up to Rei and easily passed him when they came around turn three.
"Oh, thank you -so- much. Shit...He's fast"
"I know. Draft me if you have to but wait until Kasey moves out of the way." Kai said. Kasey Kahne was about a car length ahead of Kai and, once he'd gone down the track a bit, Rei came up behind Kai to get them both away from Ryan Newman. "See, now you have to deal with Kasey and I." Rei said. "I noticed." Kai and Rei came up on either side of Kasey(who had moved back to the center of the track. "Don't get pushy. I don't need any more red paint then I already have"
"Oh, I think it would look fine." Rei said. But he didn't touch Kasey. Kai managed to pull out ahead of the two rookies, leaving them to fight for fifth while he went for Tony Stewart in third.
-Quick! Who do you think will get fifth- Dranzer asked. Kai could feel her excitement. She was enjoying herself.
"Kasey. Rei's seemed a bit tight." Kai replied.
"I am. I'm going to have to let him have it. There's no way I can get by him when I'm this tight"
"It's alright. I think we're going to have a caution soon. The cars in the bad are getting really close together." Kyra said. "Just do you best to keep sixth for now"
"I will"
"Hey, Kai?" Kenny said.
"Yeah, Chief"
"Do you still have that feeling"
"Unfortunately, yes"
-Me, too. But I'm trying to enjoy myself. Kai's not.- (A/N: I'm afraid this will be a short chapter )
"I am too! I'm just not succeeding." "Caution! Turn one. Stay on the inside you two and don't let off the gas." Kyra advised.
"Oh...shit...I wont be able to see the track past that smoke." Rei said as they cam e around turn three. Kai had dropped back past Kasey Kahne and was now in front of Rei. "There's no way I'm getting through that." Rei muttered.
"Kai"
"Yeah, yeah." Kai dropped back behind Rei as they came to turn one. Rei, if Kai hadn't been pushing him from behind, would have slowed down. "...Thanks, Kai"
"I wont do it again, Rei. I lost my spot for that. You -cannot- slow down through smoke like that. The slower you go, the higher the risk of a car coming down on you." Kai growled.
"Sorry"
"Kai's right, Rei. Believe it or not, it safer to go right through it than it is to slow down. But the caution's out so you two can come in." Kenny told them. "'Kay."

Thirteen seconds. Kai was pleased with his pit crew. It was a great pit and he came out of pit road in second with Kenseth ahead of him. Kasey Kahne came out in third while Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, and Rei got out in fourth, fifth, and sixth.
"How's the car?" Kenny asked Rei when the green flag was out again.
"Much better. How are you feeling, Drigger"
-Like I could fly.- Drigger responded. The car itself seemed to purr.
"Let's see how close to that we can get." Rei said, smiling.
"There's no way in hell I'm getting past Kenseth. He's about to lap Jr. Where am I at, Chief"
"One-point-three seconds back." Kenny answered. "Kahne's all over you, Kai." "No shit." Kai managed to keep Kasey back as he caught up with Kenseth. "Do you think they'd black flag me if I purposely spun him"
"You know that answer to that, Kai." Kenny replied.
"Of course. But if you don't tell me I might 'accidentally' do it anyway"
"Kai. If you -purposely- spin him, they'll black flag you for aggressive driving. Got it"
"I know"
Kenny sighed and Kyra chuckled. "Look, Drigger. We're flying!" Rei said. "Backwards"
-Hey! Don't blame me-
"I wasn't...Hey. I think this is a -bad- thing." Rei said. One either side of him were Kurt Busch and Michael Waltrip. (A/N: I really hope you all understand that I have nothing against any of these drivers that I'm making mean. Except -him-...But...yeah. Kurt' s just Kurt. Rubberhead...) "What's wrong?" Kai asked. Rei noticed the hint of worry in his voice. -See! He's not a bad guy! Now these two...- "I've got Kurt Busch on the inside and Michael Waltrip on the outside and both are getting closer...and closer...And I think I'm loosing paint to Kurt"
"Damnit! Either let them pass or get ahead of them Rei. They'll have you out in a heartbeat." Kai said.
"What do you think I'm -trying- to do? If I drop back they'll never let me pass. I'm GOING to get AHEAD of them." And he did. Drigger, snarling angrily, gave the Team Husar car a bit of extra power to pull ahead of the two other cars and left them trading paint with each other.
"You get past?" Kai asked.
"Yes. Stupid bastards"
"Such language." Kyra commented.
"Not nearly as bad as Kai." Kenny replied. "Uhm...Hate to tell you Kai...But we're about five laps short on fuel. If we don't get a caution you wont make it"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me before"
"Hey. I'm not the one who chose not to get gas on the last pit!" Kenny objected.
"Damnit"
-I guess we were right, Kai. We're not going to do too well today.- Dranzer said. -Which isn't going to help our position in the point standings any-
"You're doing great Rei." Kyra said.
"Kai, just do your best. I might be wrong. We may have enough"
"But you highly doubt it." Kai added, catching the unspoken thoughts.
"Yeah"
Sure enough, with five laps until the checkered flag, Kai ran out of gas and was forced to go to the pits and refill. Rei finished in fourth and Kai in 21st. Matt Kenseth took the lead with Kasey Kahne in second and Kevin Harvick in third.

Kai fell back on to his bed in the hotel room. He hadn't said a word to anyone since the race had ended and Dranzer had refused to speak with even Drigger. Rei, having come in right after Rei, shut the door and went to sit on his bed. "Kenny says he's sorry that you ran out of gas"
Kai didn't respond. Rei sighed. "Dranzer would speak to anyone either. Tyson's still trying to get her to speak. Max wants to know if you're okay and if you'll be down for dinner"
Still no response. "You got black flagged for speeding on pit road"
"What?" "Nothing." Rei smiled when Kai turned his head to look at him.
"That wasn't funny"
"Oh course not. But you weren't going to talk to me otherwise"
"Hn"
"It wasn't Kenny's fault that you ran out of fuel"
"I know it wasn't. I know it was my fault for leaving the pit without it. But, to tell you the truth, I hadn't expected to run short." Kai ran a hand through his silver bangs. "Which was stupid. I know it was"
"I wouldn't say it was stupid. Almost didn't get fuel on that pit because I figured I could make it. But I did anyway"
"Okay, now you sound like you're lecturing me or something." Kai said, sitting up. "Maybe I am." Rei replied, grinning. Kai smiled. "Have mercy. I'm going to get one from Kenny tomorrow"
"All right. I wont lecture you then. I'm going to go down for dinner. Are you coming"
"Yeah. In a minute. Go ahead." Rei nodded and left the room.
-Oh my god...I think I'm starting to like the damned rookie. Someone help me.-

Went to the store with mom before writing notes so she doesn't remember what she was going to say Uhm...Hi. I'm SwiftSilver? Uhm...I like typing? Uh...You're reading this? Okay. Uhm... Let's try and remember what I was going to say. Well, for one, I wish Dev and Bluumberry would update . . Not that I can complain. I'm not updating very well either. ;.; I really am sorry that I've been neglecting to update InuBodi. But it's really hard to update on chapters that you really wish you could skip. Sighs Well, I guess chapter 13 will be okay-ish to write Smiles I wont tell you why. I'll probably ask my mom if I can get on in a moment. So I wont update InuBodi until tomorrow(Monday) or Tuesday. I wont be able to update on the 12th, which is bad because I was planning on it. Oh well. Thank you all for reading and please review. And I also want to thank ALL of my InuBodi reviewers for sticking with me :) I love you all! I really do! Remembers now that she is supposed to give a link for the picture of Kai and Rei that shows how she imagines Kai's hair Hum...Later! Hums with her Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron soundtrack Ah...The best cd ever...Sings

. It really is a good CD.

Later Note: I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot apologizing to do in the next two weeks. I've been really busy working on homework and my Honors English essay and I haven't been able to post anything for two weeks. Nor have I had time to work on IB. Please, be patient with me as I try and finish Ch. 13. -.- At the moment, I'm having trouble typing and I feel like I need to look at the keys to know where some things are...
