A/N: A short, rather pointless chapter, but an update none the less. I hope you all enjoy it.
Kai nipped at Rei's throat, reveling in the sounds that were coming from the neko-jin. They were a strange cross between a moan and a purr and it filled the room. The Russian slipped a hand between their bodies and slid it under Rei's shirt. The neko-jin arched into the touch, a mew of anguish breezing past his lips.
The Russian coaxed Rei into a sitting position and he stripped the other man's sweater off before returning to torment the neko-jin. He trailed kisses along Rei's collarbone, tongue darting out to taste the slightly tanned flesh.
Rei tangled one hand in Kai's hair, gently tugging at the grey strands. He had finally managed to get rid of that little voice that kept calling him Kai's slut. And it felt good. Deft fingers undid the button and zipper of his pants and Rei cried out as Kai's fingers slipped into his pants, gently pressing against his arousal.
He pressed against the hand, desperate for more attention. The neko-jin felt Kai smirk against his chest and he shuddered. The Russian continued to lick and nip Rei, leaving behind sanguine marks. He had just curled his fingers in the waistband of Rei's boxers and was about to pull them down when a knock on the door interrupted him.
With a final nip he got to his feet, leaving Rei breathless on the couch, wanting more. Kai yanked the door open, mahogany eyes bright. The butler was standing at the door, a small piece of paper in hand. He handed it to the Russian before leaving. The slate haired man jammed the paper into his pocket, knowing exactly who it was from. And it couldn't wait.
Rei was still on the couch, golden eyes half hooded, lithe body tense. Kai brushed a hand through the neko-jin's hair. "Rei?" Golden crescents turned on him and he shivered, shocked by the passion he saw. It seemed that Rei enjoyed his touch much more then he was willing to let on.
"I've got some business to take care of. We'll finish this later." The Russian placed a light, chaste kiss on Rei's slightly parted lips before getting to his feet and disappearing
Rei rolled over and buried his head under one of the pillows on his bed. He had a headache and he knew exactly what had caused it. Kai. The neko-jin drew the blankets higher, not wanting to go to work. He would be nearly useless with the headache. With a sigh he reached out, hand scrabbling across the bedside table in an attempt to find his cell phone.
He found the quick dial button for the store with practiced ease. They weren't open yet so he simply left a message. "Zane it's me. I'm not going to be in today, so try to avoid blowing up the store."
The neko-jin tossed his phone to the other side of the massive bed before snuggling down in the blankets to sleep some more.
Rei padded into the living room, wearing nothing but his boxers. A note was lying on the coffee table, with an envelope underneath it. The neko-jin sighed when he saw the handwriting. The phoenix on the top of the paper would have eliminated any doubt.
Rei
I thought you might find this useful. I told you I provided for those who work for me. This is just part of it.
Kai
With slight trepidation Rei opened the envelope, his fingers sliding over something hard. He pulled the contents out, not surprised to see a credit card. It fell to the table with a slight click as he made his way back to the bedroom.
Rei pulled the collar of his jacket up, golden eyes roaming over the street. It was noon and the street was clogged with pedestrians and cars. Staying in the penthouse alone hadn't been all that appealing
He had been wandering the streets aimlessly for the past hour and a half, paying little attention to his surroundings. A soft yipping sound reached his ears and he looked over to see several puppies of different breeds staring at him from behind glass.
The neko-jin smiled and entered the pet store. He fingered the credit card in his pocket, wondering how Kai would react to finding a pet in his obviously expensive penthouse. Rei's smiled widened and he made his way over to the puppies.
A plaintive mew reached his ears and something brushed against his leg. He looked down to find a small bluish-grey kitten looking up at him with green eyes. Rei scooped the kitten up and the small ball of fuzz started to purr, eyes half closed.
Long fingers combed through the fur and Rei started purring himself, soothed by the little kitten. One of the pet store employees appeared from an aisle, brown eyes widening in shock. "You got out again?" Rei smiled down at the kitten. "So you're an escape artist? Good. Maybe you can help me get away from a zealous Russian."
The employee giggled. "I doubt it. He might help your friend. Russians need to stick together." Rei rolled his eyes and set the kitten on the counter where it proceeded to play with a fake mouse, chasing it along the top.
Rei ruffled the kitten's ears, his other hand pulling the mouse by its tail. The girl swiped the credit card and patiently waited for the receipt to print, eyes focused on the kitten. "What are you going to name him?"
The neko-jin smoothed down the kitten's fur. "Back Stabber." He looked up, a smile curling his lips at the horrified look on the girl's face. "He reminds me of my friend." The girl shrugged and handed Rei the small piece of paper to sign. "It's not my place to say."
Rei signed the paper and handed it back, slipping the card back into his paper. He scooped the kitten up and was about to leave when the girl tapped him on the shoulder. "Hmm?" She pointed at the paper, nail bright pink. "Did you just get married? You signed this Kon but your card said Hiwatari."
Dreading what he would see Rei reached into his card and pulled the card out. Sure enough, in bright gold letters Rei Hiwatari was on the card, seeming to mock him. "Bastard."
He stormed from the store, ignoring the comforting purr coming from Back Stabber.
Rei didn't get off the couch when he heard the first door to the penthouse open. Back Stabber stopped purring and stood, green eyes focused on the inside door. The kitten hopped off his stomach and made his way to the door. The neko-jin smirked. Maybe Kai would trip over the kitten and hit his head.
Kai pushed open the door, mahogany eyes focused on the couch. He could just barely make out the top of Rei's head over the arm. A questioning mew reached his ears and he looked down to find a Russian Blue kitten staring up at him.
"And how much did you spend on him?" The Russian stepped over the kitten and closed the door. "Only three hundred dollars. I figured you wouldn't mind too much. After all, you did have your last name on the credit card."
The slate haired man laughed the sound dark and sensuous. With silent steps he made his way to stand next to the couch, eyes roaming over the lithe neko-jin. Rei was completely relaxed, golden eyes closed.
"What do you want?" Kai placed a package next to the neko-jin. "I'm just here to drop this off." Rei waited until he heard both doors close. He slowly sat up, running a hand over Back Stabber as he jumped back into his lap.
With slightly trembling hands the neko-jin reached out for the package.
