A/N Sorry this is so late I was at camp and had no access to a computer. This is the chapter where the plot thickens.
Chapter Five
When Rayne awoke she was not in her room or on the couch with Johnny. She was in his room, on his bed, with his arms around her. There's nothing wrong with this she thought. The only part of Johnny touching her was his bare arms; they were wrapped around her waist.
Wait…she thought over Johnny's wardrobe the night before; he had been wearing a long sleeve shirt. Why were his arms bare? Rayne looked down at herself expecting to see her red t-shirt, but instead she saw bare skin.
"ENRIQUE!"
"Rei," Bryan began, "I was thinking…in this book I read-"
"You read?"
"Yes! Why is that so hard for everyone to believe? Anyway, the villain studied his victims to figure out the easiest and most affective way to kill them. I figure we could do same thing to Tala and Kai."
"You want to kill them," Rei asked mortified.
Bryan slapped his forehead, "No, although killing Kai does sound like fun… I meant if we list what we know about them we can figure out the best way to get them back."
"Okay, but I don't think it will work. Kai doesn't seem to be affected by many things."
"Tala's the exact opposite; he's overly emotional. Everything affects him in some way. It gets really bad with jealousy. I remember this one time when Ian got a skateboard for Christmas, Tala wanted it so bad. He went out and bought the same board and then got Ian's and burned it. I actually felt bad for the poor kid; don't tell him I said that."
Rei chuckled at Bryan's childish behavior, "So you're saying we have to use Tala's jealousy against him."
"Exactly."
"But how?"
"Do you think it worked?" Kai asked.
"Of course it worked," Tala replied self-confidently, "Have my plans ever failed before?" Kai gave him a skeptical look, "Okay, fine my plans usually fail, but this one's working perfectly. We already have Bryan and Rei jealous; it's only going to take a few more days."
"But what about Mariah," Kai whined.
"We don't have to worry about that; she's with Brooklyn."
"Tala," Kai glanced at him suspiciously, "How do you know that? You've been with me that past two days, we never went near Kinston. You haven't been listening to other people's conversations have you?"
"Of course I haven't Kai! How could you doubt me? He bought a pink butterfly clip."
"So?"
"You really don't know anything do you Kai?"
"No I just prefer not to stalk people."
Tala grinned sheepishly, "I wanted to make sure he wasn't trying to take over the world again…besides who else would want a pink clip?"
Kai rolled his eyes at him as he could list plenty of girls that would accept such an offer, "So since you seem to know everything; do you think they've figured out our plan?"
"No Kai, why are you asking such a silly question? They aren't smart enough to use jealousy as a weapon."
"Are you calling Rei stupid?"
"Why aren't you defending Bryan?"
"…That's your job."
"Oh…did I just imply that Bryan was stupid?"
"…yes."
"Punch me."
Kai rolled his eyes in reply.
"Ugh, Rayne did you have to scream? What's the problem?"
"Johnny, I'm naked," she stated as calmly as she could muster.
"Really," he asked hopefully.
"So are you."
Johnny looked down at himself only to see that Rayne was indeed right; he was naked.
"Who did this?" He asked as his fiery temper emerged.
"Enrique, who else?"
"ENRIQUE! You are so dead!"
"Oh," Rayne began slightly ticked off, "so now the joke's bad. Gosh Johnny you are so self-centered!"
"It doesn't matter if he sees you naked! He's gay."
"What do you mean it doesn't matter if Enrique sees me naked?"
"Well…since he's gay Enrique doesn't get turned on by you. He likes GUYS not Girls; I'm a GUY you're a GIRL."
"I am aware of that Johnny; now go get me some clothes."
"But Rayne," he whined, "I bet this was just to get us together. We don't want to disappoint them do we?"
Rayne smirked, "That's the whole point Johnny. By not doing what they want we show them that they cannot control us."
Johnny sighed, "You play a dangerous game Rayne."
"Oh trust me, I know."
"I just don't get it," Bryan sighed Rei had been at this for hours, "How can they like each other? They're complete opposites."
"People do say that opposites attract," Bryan commented as he flung a knife at a picture of Kai taped on his wall.
Rei snorted sarcastically, "If that was true you and I would be together."
They looked at each other in a newfound realization.
"Do you think they've woken up yet," Oliver asked curiously.
"Let's hope not. Dou you know how cranky they would be if they only got five hours of sleep?"
"Oh don't remind me," Enrique groaned, "Johnny's already going to kill me. If he's cranky my life will become shorter than it already is."
"Why didn't you mention Rayne?"
"She won't care if I saw her nude, I'm gay. I don't get turned on by her, Johnny on the other hand…"
Oliver smacked his boyfriend over the head as everyone else sweat dropped at his lack of knowledge about women. One would think all of his years as a 'ladies man' would have taught him something but apparently Enrique doesn't pay attention during class.
"All we have to do," Bryan realized, "Is pretend to be a couple and they'll get jealous."
Rei suddenly had an idea, "What if they're only together to make us jealous?"
"No way," Bryan shot down his idea in seconds, "They aren't smart enough to use jealousy as a weapon."
Johnny took a seat next to Rayne on the couch. She looked cute…really cute. She was wearing his clothes and her hair was tousled, creating a look that suggested that they had just…well you get the point.
"Rayne why don't you go to your room and get some of you own clothes?" He suggested hopefully thinking that if she didn't change soon those clothes wouldn't be on her much longer.
"No way," she replied defiantly, "I want to be here when he gets back."
"Fine," he replied hoping his self-control would last a little longer.
Bryan and Rei walked into the restaurant together and Mariah waved them to their table. They approached her only to find Brooklyn occupying the seat next to her.
"Are you two together," Rei asked protectively.
"Are you," the orange-haired blader replied smoothly.
Both the pink and lilac-haired bladers nodded in response.
Mariah looked at Rei in a silent question only to receive a look that suggested discussing the topic later. They sat down and Bryan wound his arm around Rei's waist.
"Kai," Tala whined, "I'm hungry!"
"Fine Tala we'll go to the hotel's restaurant."
They left their room and approached said restaurant. Tala put his arm around Kai who gagged at the feeling. When they reached their destination Tala spotted Mariah with Brooklyn.
"See Kai, I told you they were together. You have nothing to worry about."
But Kai seeing who was sitting across from them begged to differ, "Tala," Kai gulped not wanting to witness Tala's reaction, "Look who's sitting across from them."
Said blader's eyes widened in rage.
"Rei," Mariah said seeing Kai and Tala enter, "They're here.
Rei's eyes widened, "Bryan I can't do this. You have to do it for me."
Bryan nodded in understanding and got out of the booth. He took a deep breath, put on his 'fierce' face and approached the two gaping people.
"Hey Kai?"
"Hn?"
"Since Tala's going to be in your room and Rei's most definitely going to be in mine," he grinned at the look on their faces, "I was thinking that Tala and Rei should switch rooms."
Kai was about to reply when Tala cut him off, "But I don't want to change rooms," Bryan shot him a look and was greeted by pleading eyes, "I just painted the room!"
"Tala," Bryan rebutted even thought it killed him to do so, "You painted the room pink and you complain about it every day. Besides you're with Kai, I'm with Rei; you're going to be in his room every night anyway.
"Fine," Tala replied trying to control his emotions.
Bryan walked back to the table calm on the outside but excited on the inside. It nearly killed him to see Tala on the verge of tears, he didn't want to kick Tala out, but he had to for the plan. He was also excited. He had seen the look on their faces, the plan was working perfectly. He just hoped it would stay that way.
Rei watched as his 'boyfriend' kicked Tala out. He wondered how Bryan could say those things to the one he loved. If it had been him he would have ended telling them everything.
He looked at Tala's face and saw a look of hurt and shock upon it. Tala looked like he was going to cry, (if that was possible.)
Rei took a deep breath and glanced at Kai, he however was surprised at what he saw. It was one of those moments a person remembers forever. Kai was starring directly at him.
It was more than that though, the windows to his soul; those fiery crimson orbs were open. The barrier was lifted for a moment showing sadness and most of all fear; fear of rejection, of being destined to loneliness for all eternity.
Rei also lifted his barrier to Kai, showing him the many emotions he had been holding back. They stayed like that; not blinking, starring into one another's souls until their 'boyfriends' returned forcing them to put on the charade a little longer.
Thats all for chapter five...sorry it took so long to be updated
