Don't ask where this came from. You'll sleep better at night not knowing. I've hit a brick wall with 'To be with you' and I don't know how I can expand on 'Majestic feelings' either. If anyone has any ideas for 'Majestic feelings' they'll be greatly appreciated or if you feel like having a go yourself, by all means, do. It'll be far better than anything I can conjure up. On, and a big thanks to everyone who reviewed 'Majestic feelings' I hope you like this one as well.

Kai sat on a large plush leather lounge chair, watching as his roommate, Ray, ran around looking for his shoes. "Big date tonight, Ray?" He asked. "It's not with that obnoxious brat Lee, is it?"

Ray looked over his shoulder and smiled. "I thought Lee was a lion."

"I suppose he is," Kai muttered as he flipped a page over in the book that he was reading. "But not in the way you're thinking. Male Lions are notoriously lazy, wants everyone else to do everything for them and have a pretty bad temper."

"Ok, sure," Ray replied with a roll of his eyes. "Anyway, it's not Lee."

"Who is it then?"

A wink. "Not saying, It's a surprise."

"It's not Michael is it?" Kai asked with a raised eyebrow. "He's such a parrot. Sure, he's pretty, but he is forever preening himself. He probably uses some expensive male moisturize or something."

Ray stopped what he was doing to regard Kai with his hands on his hips. "What do you associate everyone with animals?"

"I don't associate everyone," he muttered as he turned another page. "Just a few of them."

Ray smothered a smirk as he tapped his chin. "Ok, what kind of animal is, um, Tyson?"

"A pig, no two ways about that," Kai replied without so much as hesitating. "He eats like a pig, sounds like a pig, sleeps like a pig. Hell, he even smells like a pig."

Ray hid in a snigger behind his hand. "Max?"

"A puppy, definitely," he said as he finally looked up from his book. "One of those little yap yaps that bounce around your feet all day long and never seems to get tired. He's cute. Not cute-cute, cuddly-cute. You know what I mean?"

"Sure," Ray nodded and then asked. "What about Daichi?"

"A pet monkey!" Kai replied with a dramatic roll of his eyes. "The kind that swings back and forth on a trapeze, gibbering away at people all day long."

"Hilary?"

"Either a goose or a duck. The one that spends all day squabbling at everyone."

Ray bit the inside of his mouth to stop himself from laughing. He just had a sudden mental image of Hilary in a form of a white goose, waddling after a little piggy Tyson, squawking at him. Hilary the goose still had her hair as Tyson the pig was still wearing his hat.

After unsuccessfully hiding a few chuckles, he continued with his questions. "Kenny?"

"A night owl," Kai said, nodding to himself more so than to Ray. "I swear, that kid never sleeps. His glasses remind me of big owl eyes. Wait, does Kenny even have eyes?"

"You know what? I don't really know," Ray hummed, his eyes looking at the ceiling in thought. "I assume he does. Ok, so, what about, um, Jim from Team Psychic?"

"A toad," Kai said simply, leaving Ray slightly baffled.

"What?"

"His head reminds me of a toad," Kai explained. "He even sounds like one. Either that, or a clam."

At this point Ray was finding it harder and harder not to laugh out loud. He would have but he wanted to know more. "Gary?"

"A sloth. He's slow witted, lazy, cumbersome and he seems to have the motivation of one as well."

Ray sniggered but managed to hide it under a cough. "Um, Dunga?"

"Oh my God, he's such a bloody rock ape!" Kai said as he waved his hand in the air to enthused his point. He suddenly paused and looked deep in thought. "No, wait… Apes are smart. Ok, so he looks like a baboon with a brain of a gold fish. Hmm, that sounds right."

"And Rick?"

"A warthog! I swear!" He said as he threw his arms into the air, the book that he was holding land next to him. "Loud, obnoxious, rude, ugly and possesses the same BO."

It was at this point that Ray could no longer keep a straight face. He doubled over laughing. He clutched his stomach, tears appearing in the corner of his eyes. He was almost laughing hysterically.

After a few moment, Ray finally managed to get himself under control. His ribs hurt, his back hurts and his stomach hurts. But it was a good kind of hurt. It had been years since he can remember ever laughing this hard. Not many people know how sarcastic and funny Kai can be.

It's really a shame people don't take the time to get to know Kai better. They are usually intimidated by Kai's cold outer shell. Kai is only cold because he doesn't know how to trust people.

"You done there, Ray?" Kai asked, looking slightly bored but had a small playful smile on his face.

"Ok, I'm ok now," Ray gasped as he started to take deeps breathes. He breathed in deeply through his nose as he stood straight and exhaled through his mouth. "I'm fine."

Kai raises an eyebrow, looking slightly amused. "Ok."

"Ok, who else…?" Ray said as he tapped his chin. "Hey what about yourself?"

Kai was taken aback by the question, but surprise was quickly over taken by this sadness. "I don't think there is an animal to describe a cold-hearted bastard like me, Ray."

"I didn't say anything about describing a cold-hearted bastard, Kai," Ray said as he stood looking a cross between annoyed and confused. "I want you to describe yourself."

"Ray," Kai said, almost sounding heartbroken. "I was talking about me…"

"Kai," Ray said as he walked over to the lounge chair that Kai was sitting on and gently took his hands in his. "You are a Phoenix. Beautiful, mysterious and regal. A rare and wonderful treasure. People the world over find hope and inspiration whenever they see you. Kai, the passion and the fire that you possess no one in this world has. You are truly one of a kind."

"Ray…?" Kai blinked as he felt tears forming in his eyes. He sniffled and wiped away a tear that rolled down his cheek with the palm of his hand. "You have a heart of a tiger. Noble, loyal and strong, but yet, docile, kind and understanding," He wiped away more tears. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it," Ray smiled. "I was only speaking the truth."

Kai adorably rubbed away a few more tears as Ray continued to hold his hand, waiting patiently for the tears to subside. Not many people know this either, but Kai is severely lacking in the self esteem category.

Suddenly, the silence was disturbed when the doorbell rings. Ray blinked for a second, wondering who it could be when it suddenly hit him.

"Oh, that's my date now," Ray said. He gave Kai's hand one last reassuring squeeze and walked over to the door. Kai picked up the book that he was reading and placed it in his lap, waiting to see who Ray was going out with tonight. The neko-jin had came home one afternoon and told him straight out that he had a boyfriend, although he wouldn't say who. He kept saying that it was a secret and that he would find out eventually.

Ray exchanged a few words at the door and Kai could almost sense the pervert neko-jin smile. A moment later a familiar redhead walks in.

"Oh my God!" Kai laughed. "It's the Rooster!"

Johnny looked startled, then annoyed. He looked over to Ray and frowned. "What?"

Ray tried his best to hold back a snigger. "What makes you say that?" He asked Kai.

"The way he struts around, constantly crowing," Kai stated matter-a-factly. "Hell, his hair even looks like a rooster crown."

Johnny instantly bristled. "I don't know what the hell is going on, but if you call me a rooster one more time-"

Ray bounds over to Johnny and wraps him up in his arms. "Never mind him, Johnny, he was only joking."

Johnny huffed and then blushed when he felt one of Ray's hands rest on his hip. He tried to push it a little high, but Ray insisted that it stayed where it was so he gave up.

"I don't whether it was safe to bring him here," Johnny said after a moment.

"Who?" Ray blinked and so did Kai.

There at the door way was a familiar blond hair blader. He walks in. "Johnny said that I could crash here for a while," Miguel said as he shifted his shoulder bag. "Is that ok?"

"Sure!" Ray said cheerfully. "You can keep Kai company while me and Johnny go out," Suddenly he smirked, kisses Johnny on the cheek and then bounds over to Kai. "Hey Kai, what do you think of him?" He whispered into his ear.

Before Kai could stop himself he whispers. "Gorgeous," It suddenly dawned on his what he just said and hastly covered his mouth a blush appearing on his cheeks. "Oops!"

"Heh," Ray sniggered. "No problem Miguel. You can stay here as long as you like. Kai says it's cool."

Miguel smiled. "Thank you."

"Well, me and Johnny are going now," Ray said as he saunter over to Johnny, wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him towards the door. "Catch you two later."

"Watch out for Kai, Miguel," Johnny warned as he grabbed onto the door frame to prevent Ray from pulling him out of sight.

"Now, Johnny," Ray tisked. "Don't scare him like that. Kai is actually very cool. Aren't you Kai?"

Kai blinked and a small, almost evil smile appeared on his lips. He walked over to the door and bowed slightly. "I suppose I should say sorry for calling you a rooster Johnny. I was mistaken."

Johnny blinked and then huffed. "Good."

"I meant Hen."

A split second later Johnny lunges at Kai, but Ray effortlessly held him back, his arms around the feisty redhead's waist. "Let me go, Ray!"

"Easy there salamander," Ray laughed. He spun Johnny around in his arms and pinned him to his chest. "See you two later!" He called as the two of them left.

Miguel looked amused as Kai shook his head, a small smile on his lips. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but what was that about a hen and a rooster."

Kai blushed slightly. "Sorry, before you and Johnny arrived me and Ray were discussing how some bladers look and act like animals."

"I see."

Kai's blush deepen. "It's stupid really."

Miguel could see that Kai, for whatever reason, was slightly embarrassed by the whole thing so decided to drop it. He looked at the closed door and mused. "…Johnny and Ray, huh?"

"I know," Kai nodded. "I never saw that coming either," He looked over to Miguel and noticed that he was still carrying his shoulder bag. "Well, why don't you make yourself comfortable while I go see if there's anything to eat."

Miguel nodded, looking grateful. "Thank you."

I was going to make this a oneshot, but hardly anything goes as planned so I'm making this into a twoshot. The next chapter should be up in a day or two.

Please read and review.
