Chapter 8
"Do you have an idea how boring this is?" Tyson moaned, drumming his fingers on the table. He was seated on the floor of the hotel lobby.
"I have an idea." Rei said.
"What"
"I meant that I have an idea how boring this is." Rei corrected.
"Oh. Damn"
"Why are we just sitting here then?" Max asked.
"Because there is nothing else to do and it's too early to go to bed." Kai replied from his seat besides Rei. (A/N: I just realized something...o.o Heh. Guess how many weeks have passed in the fic since I started. Probably around -8- weeks. That's like...two months. Kai and Rei must be pretty good friends by now O.o I love this! I don't have to slowly build up their relationship in every chapter! There's a whole week between each race where it builds itself! Ooh...Grins wickedly Now to decide just how close they are)
"Oh. Right. Where's Kenny?" Max asked.
"Probably out working pit strategies with his new girlfriend." Rei muttered.
"New girlfriend?" Tyson asked.
"Kyra." Rei answered.
"Oh...What? Are you -jealous- or something?" Tyson challenged.
Rei raised an eyebrow at him. "Jealous"
"Well. The way you said it"
"No. I'm not jealous. Not even close. I'm ecstatic. Kyra will FINALLY stop bugging ME about pit strategies." Rei shook his head.
"And, just maybe, Kenny might forget his damned laptop exists." Kai muttered.
"Yeah. No kidding." Tyson said. "He might as well sleep with the thing"
"Who says he doesn't?" Rei asked.
Tyson and Max laughed. Kai only shook his head, smiling slightly. "I have to admit. It isn't hard to see him sleeping with his laptop." Kai commented. (A/N: Ugh! I can't go to the library and post everything until 12:55It opens at one It's only 11:38! Oh, well. I'm not even to the racing part of this chapter yet. I need the next hour. Can't think of anything to do for this race. OMG! Good idea! Pats her back I'm mean.)
Kai had no idea that it would feel so good to race -without- a headache after racing with one for so long on the last race. "How are you feeling, Dranzer"
-Excellent-
"That's good. How's your car, Rei"
"A bit loose but we'll survive. I'm not all that sure I want to be stuck between you and Rusty Wallace." Rei said. In fact, I don't want to be anywhere -near- Rusty Wallace"
"If he touches you, I'll wreck him. How about that"
"No way. They may not have black flagged him last weekend but you know they'll black flag you." Rei said.
"Yeah, yeah"
"Hey. You do know that they can listen to you two talk, don't you?" Kyra said.
"Heh. Let them." Kai responded.
"Look. Rusty's waving at me." Rei said.
"You think he knows that you usually point with your index finger?" Kai commented.
"I highly doubt it." Kenny said.
"Me too!" Kai said.
Almost half-way finished with the race and Kai was leading with Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman trying to catch up to him. Rei, struggling with a loose car, was managing to guard his fourth-place.
"We could slow down a bit and they'd never catch up." Kai commented, amazed at how far ahead of second and third they were. "You're doing great, Dranzer"
-Hey. It's not all my doing. You're driving-
"So? You're the one running the engine, are you not"
-Yeah, yeah-
"I win"
-You always do-
"Liar. I haven't won the last few races, have I"
-Shut up-
"Not this time"
-Damn-
"It's starting to rain." Rei commented as he stole second place and tore after Kai.
"Yeah. Just sprinkling. They wont stop us yet. Get your ass up here before Kasey catches you." Kai ordered.
"I'm working on it! If you were do damn fast I might be able to catch you"
"If I wasn't so damn fast, Kasey would have caught me"
"That's true"
"What would you guys think if we made you team mates?" Kenny asked.
"We might as well be already." Kai responded.
"Yeah. What he said." Rei had finally caught Kai after the Beyblade driver had slowed down a bit. They were racing side-by-side for first now.
"That's a fact. I think they're going to throw us a rain delay." Kyra said, sounding disappointed.
-Damnit! That's no fun- Drigger said.
-Why can't they just build a roof over race tracks? Well, I guess that my screw up our driving if they did that-
"Yeah." Kai said.
"Yup. They're calling a rain delay"
"Damnit!" Kai growled.
Rei fell back a bit, shocked at the cloud's sudden decision to hail. "Shit. That was not expected."
Kai was annoyed. The race had been called off because of the heavy rain. They'd been more than half-way done with the race and it was going well. "Fucking rain..." Kai growled, crossing his arms and glaring at the dark gray clouds.
"Hey. At least we finish first and second." Rei said, nudging Kai with an elbow. They were standing under an umbrella, having just found out that the race had been canceled.
"Oh, yeah. That's great. I would like it more if I'd WON it." Kai replied, crossing his arms and tossing his wet bangs out of is eyes. "If I'd actually raced it to the end"
"I would have enjoyed my spot better that way as well. But we can't exactly complain. Especially not you. You've lost quite a few point positions the last few races. Even -you- should be glad for a better finish." Rei said, looking up at Kai with his golden eyes.
Kai looked over at him and sighed. "I suppose you're right. It does help my position a bit"
"See. Be happy." Rei said, smiling.
Kai shook his head but he couldn't help but smile as well. "Fine, fine. Let's get out of here. I'm freezing"
"Me too"
"No kidding. You're shivering, Rei"
"I am? Oh. Heh. I guess I am." Rei shrugged. "Oh, well." Kai shook his head again.
I bet you could see the wheels and gears turning in my head. o.o My thought process went like this: Crash-Kai and Rei-Rei gets out of car but Kai's is on fire-Rei goes and pulls Kai out of his car-they see Dranzer spinning in the mud after she tore herself out of the car- mud-it rained-rain-rain delay-Rain delay...-Race ends in a rain delay! What an idea! XD . I'm going to cry. I had a REALLY strong urge to make Kai kiss Rei. Dies Help me! o.o Should I have done it? Or would it have been too soon? ;.; I wanted to! Sniffs Oh, well. Thanks for reading, hope you liked that, and please review! And I'm sorry that I rained it out! I couldn't resist! Later!
