rainy afternoon
When Ray had left his house that afternoon he had not seen any rain clouds but thanks to his heightened senses Ray didnt need to see the clouds that the rain made to know that it was there. He could smell the rain and feel the thick air around him and had known that it would only be a matter of time until it started to pour even so he had promised chief that he would give the thick envelope to Kai that contained the latest information on the teams beyblades and all of the other research that the brunette and his bit beast laptop Dizzi had collected in recent weeks. 'So that would explain why kenny had stayed locked in his room all day' ray thought as he rounded the corner to Kai's house.
Kai was not very fond of people comming to visit him in his mansion infact Ray didn't think that many people even knew where Kai's mansion was. One afternoon everyone had been walking and kai had mentioned that he needed to stop buy his house for a minute while they were in the neihborhood and that every one could stop by for a minute. The whole thing was very unlike the cold sourpuss but Ray couldn't help but think that the fact that Tyson had gotten food poisoning that afternoon after eating lunch at a place called the lazy cafe had something to do with it. Everyone else had been so preoccupied with Tysons whinning that they failed to notice where they were until they had finaly arrived at their destination therefore keeping the location to kai's mansion a secret to everyone, except Ray that is who had been able to shut out the sound of Tysons bickering and actualy notced where they were going. Ray's suspicion were confirmed when tyson asked Kai if he could use his batroom and in return kai told the distressed teen that they were all out of order, 'yeash' tyson could be such a simpleton at times not that he was ever otherwise mind you.
As Ray came up to the dark mahogany door he was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened revealing his team captain. Ray looked up into the scarlet eyes for half a minute before a deep voice spoke breaking his trance like state.
"I asked you if you would like to come in" the voice spoke again but this time with a little more agitation could be found in its depths for having to repeat itself.
"Oh, sorryI must not have heard you" ray answered back in reply to his team captain. He had been on the same team as the older teen for over a year now and was still a little bit intimidated when asked a direct question and put on the spotlight by the bluenette.
"Obviouslly" answered Kai who by now had already turned around to go inside motioning for the neko-jin to follow.
As Ray followed to go inside he could still hear the rain outside reminding him that he was still soaked and the draft from the open door sent a chill up his spine. This brought the attention of the older blader on the still soaked neko-jin standing in the doorway who was rubing his hands up and down his arms in an attempt to warm them and to ward away the cold. It wasn't realy that cold outside but the fact that he was soaked to the bone and it had all of a sudden gotten really windy outside might have contributed to the fact that he was now shivering uncontrollably.
"There's a shower upstairs to your left, towels are in the closet outside the bathroom doors"
"What?" Ray blinked, trying to figure out what the russian had said. 'Man, I must have a fever or something cause i just thought that Kai offered to let me use his shower' the neko-jin thought.
"If you dont get a shower your gonna catch a cold" Kai said again. Those fiery red eyes burning into the neko-jin trying to decipher wether or not ray had a hearing problem today since that was the second time in ten minutes that he had made him repeat himself.
"Ok" ray said 'I must have a fever' the neko-jin thought, but decided that he should probabley do as he was told, as to not feel the wrath of the pheonix when he was feeling particularly giving at the moment.
As Ray made his way up the stairs to the bathroom he turned around to thank the russian but was surprised to see that he was gone. So without further ado he continued his journey up the steps. When he reached the top of the stairs he turned left sure enough there was a bathroom with a closet right outside. 'Well that was easy! Atleast i dont have to wander around trying to find it, man this place is big' the neko-jin thought, as he quickly grabbed a towel before stepping inside the bathroom.
As Ray turned on the faucet to the hot water instead of the comforting warmth that he was expecting instead he was greeted with a blast of cold.
Kai's P.O.V
As kai went into the kitchen to make himself a sandwich he looked up when a screech made its way across the room.
"COLD!" is all he could hear from the neko-jin upstairs that was soon followed by a very colorful strand of curses alot of which were in chinese.
Kai couldn't help but let a small smile escape onto his lips 'Maybe i should have warned him before letting him go up there that in my house the faucets are backwards' the pheonix thought before saying aloud nahh!"
General P.O.V.
Half-way through his shower he heard footsteps approaching thanks to his super sensitive hearing followed by a knock on the bathroom door "theres some clean clothes outside the door here when your finished" was all he heard before the footsteps disapeared leaving only the sound of his own breathing and the shower running.
When he was finished and dried off he took a peak outside the door and indeed found a pair of fresh clothes waiting for him. But what surprised him the most was that they were the exact same clothes that Kai had worn during their last tornament. So putting the clothes on he made his way down the steps.
At the sound of approaching footsteps Kai looked up in time to see the neko-jin sit on the couch in front of him.
"Nice outfit" Kai answered smirking at the blader in front of him.
"Oh you should talk" answered ray with a bemused look on his face "the only thingI lack is the face paint andI would look exactly like you".
"I can fix that" and with that the older blader dissappeared up the stairs.
'What's he thinking' thought Ray as he watched his team captain go up the steps.
A couple minutes later the older blader returned carying a small box and a grin on his face.
"What's that?" asked Ray as he watched the older blader sit down and open the box shuffleing around some of the contents inside.
Kai didn't give an answer instead just smirked and began to apply make up to the others face until he was satisfied. "There now you realy do look like me" he stated and showed Ray his work with a mirror he brought with him.
"You missed a spot" said Ray, pointing to a spot that was indeed bare of where the blue face paint was supposed to be.
The older blader began to fix his mistake and then looked at Ray with a gleam in his eye.
"What?" Ray asked trying to figure out what had caused the pheonix to stop.
"I'm just imagining what you would look like ifI added mascara to your face" and with that he began to pull out a round tube labeled mascara on it.
"Oh no you don't!" shouted Ray as he began to run. "Face paint is one thing but you are not putting mascara on me! Not in a million years".
"Come on be a good sport I just want to see what it would look like!" said the pheonix as he began to chase the neko-jin around the house with the tube of mascara.
20 minutes later
"I can't beleive I let you put mascara on me!" cried the neko-jin as he flopped onto the couch.
"Oh come on you know you liked it! Admit it, it looks good on you!"
"So! If guys were ment to wear mascara you wouldn't find it in the womens department!" Ray tried to get his point across but trying to get your point across to kai and have him admit that you might actualy be right, was something that Ray considered onlythe gods to be able to do.
"Whatever" Kai said in his usual bored tone, that to anyone who is used to Kais' manner of speaking is translated into 'were obviosly not getting anywhere an im tired of arguing about such trivial things'.
"So why did you come over?" Kai asked. Cause in all of the confusion Kai had forgotten to ask what Ray was doing there in the first place.
"Oh, right. Here." Ray said handing his team captain the envelope that chief had sent with him that he had laid on the coffee table when he had come down, but had completely forgotten until just now.
"Hmm" Kai said as he took the envelope from Ray that now had raindrops all over the front ofit despite Rays attempts to keep it dry.
"Yea. Umm keny sent it saying that as the team captain he should update you regularly on the teams performance" Ray explained. Which he obviously didnt need to do since it seemed that Kai was familiar with the updates and simply laid it on the table beside him.
"You hungry?" Kai asked the neko-jin. "It's getting late and considering youv'e been here all afternoon I imagine that you will be getting hungry. Besides" Kai smirked "your stomachs growling"
Right on cue Rays stomach started to growl. Ray just looked down at it and blushed giving it an inquiring frown. At showing a sign of weakness in front of his team captain.
"Are you comming?" kai asked standing in the kitchen doorway rolling his eyes.
"Yes!"
