Chapter 5: Training In A Memory
The sun was just starting to shine when Kai had woken up. He always wakes up early! Kai went to Rei's room an hour after he had awakened to see the bed empty.
"Rei?" he said to him self wondering where the golden eyed boy had gone.
Kai walked around the apartment building for about an hour before he found Rei on the rooftop sitting at the edge staring out to the sky. Kai walked over and sat down next to him.
"When did you get up?" he asked "I thought only birds got the warms….not kittens…" (a/n u know the early bird gets the warm thing…)
Rei giggled and looked up at Kai "about an hour or two ago…why?"
"Well I went to wake you and the others but you weren't in your room so I came looking for you" Kai answered and half smiled.
The two sat in silents for a few minutes, at least until they herd Tyson yell that he was "starving" and was going to keel over any second if he did not get food.
Three Hours Later
"Wow" Max said in amazement. "Did this place get bigger or did I get smaller?"
"I think it got bigger Maxy" Tyson answered Max.
"Hey Kai…did we shrink?" Rei asked his tall some what leader.
"No, it's just been a long time sense we've been here…" Kai said as he looked up at an old warehouse.
The old warehouse was the place the gang stayed when they had first met. It's where they trained and lived, at least until they found the apartment blinding.
"Well lets not stand around like idiots, come on" Rei said as he started to walk inside.
The others fallowed right behind him.
Once inside they found the old places they used to sleep and put what little stuff they had brought with them down.
"Hey Kai, Rei" Tyson shouted "me and Max are going to have a look around See Ya!"
"Be careful!" Rei yelled out after them as they ran off.
"So, I guess it's just you and me for awhile: Kai Said as he walked around examining the room.
"Yeah, I guess you're right on that one Kai" Rei agreed and turned to look at Kai as he walked around the room "So what do you wanna do?"
"Don't know" was Kai's bleak answer "hey, how much food do we have…you know as well as I do that the second Tyson gets back he'll be saying 'I'm starving, I want food' and other such things"
"Well…none to tell you the utter truth" Rei said dryly "We ate the last of it last night"
Kai just sighed "I'm not sure if I even want to know the answerer to this but, how much money do we have?"
"Not much I'm afraid; we only have fifty" Rei spoke as he counted the money the gang had 'found' "Yep fifty"
Kai just stayed quite. Trying to think of what they had spent all their money on.
After about ten minutes of silents Rei spoke up "Hey Kai, um….wanna go to the store with me?" Rei asked as he walked up to Kai and gave his cute little 'Kitten Eye' thing that Kai could never say no to.
"Fine" Kai sighed "Just turn of the kitten eyes!"
"Yay!" Rei yelled and jumped up on Kai, hugging him tightly.
Kai laughed softly at Rei's hyper-ness.
After About An Hour At The Store
"Ok Kai, we're all done" Rei laughed "we can go now"
"Finally!" Kai half sighed half yelled.
Once out of the stoke, Kai and Rei swiftly walked back to the warehouse.
"Hey Kai!" Rei asked "Wh-Why are we walking so fast?"
"This part of twon is full of messed up gangs…including some of Tala's allies" Kai said as they neared the warehouse.
"Oh" Rei squeaked and grabbed hold of Kai's arm (making Kai blush) "now I'm scared"
Back t the warehouse
Kai and Rei walked in quickly.
"Hey" Tyson said "Where have you two been?"
"The store" Rei huffed
"Rei, Why are you out of breath?" Max asked and he walked up to Rei and took the bag of groceries.
"We had to walk fast so we weren't seen" Kai said before Rei a chance to speak "some of Tala's allies live around here"
Tyson and max just stood in their spots with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
Ten Minutes Later
"Ok let's start 'our' training" Kai said "we'll start with ten laps around the warehouse…START"
It took about twenty minutes for them all to finish running but, after they where done with that Kai made them do what ever else he could think up. Lets just say the gang looked dead and one looked green after they were done. (a/n Kai also did everything with them!)
"Hey Kai…are you ok?" Rei asked "you look like you're about to puke"
"It's the heat…and I do feel sick" as Kai spoke his eyes widened and he shot out the door and to the pear that was next to the building.
"Rei, is Kai ok" Tyson asked a bit worried.
Rei nodded "Yeah….it's the heat" Rei then got up and walked after Kai.
When Rei found Kai he was lent over a railing on the docks. "Hey" he said softly walking up behind Kai and pulling his bangs out of his face. "feel better"
"Not really" Kai said quickly before he puked again.
Rei sighed and started to rub circles on Kai's back to try to calm him down. As he did so he whispered softly to himself "poor baby"
After Kai had lost everything in his stomach he fell back into Rei's arms, exacted. Rei the knelt to the ground where he and Kai would be more relaxed.
Rei laid Kai's head on his chest and stocked his hair. "Tired?" he asked softly.
Kai just nodded and closed his eyes and the sun started to make them sting.
