Chapter ten C

You Kai are invited to the annual ball at the storms hotel. Your dance partner is Tala!

"Tala," Kai growled angrily, "What happened to your brilliant plan? I was supposed to get paired with Rei! Are you sure you didn't make up this entire plan just so you could be with me?"

Tala's eyes saddened Kai didn't believe him. He hid his sorrow behind anger, "Why would I come up with an elaborate plan just to hang around you? Not everything is about you, you know. You obviously don't know me as well as you thought. You should know that I would have just come out and told you that I liked you!"

Kai's eyes darkened at the challenge, "No you wouldn't. What about Bryan! You didn't tell Bryan that you were madly in love with him! So maybe you don't know yourself as well as you think!"

Tala's eyes widened as Bryan appeared in the lobby. He hoped he hadn't heard Kai declare Tala's love for Bryan, what would he say?

Bryan walked towards the feuding couple; he had heard what Kai said. He didn't know what to think. When Kai got angry (which was a rarity in itself) he started spewing random facts sometimes he even lied without realizing it. Bryan didn't know whether or not Kai was telling the truth. Judging by the look on Tala's face he assumed it was right, but he didn't want to take a chance. Tala always had been a good actor.

"Having a lovers spat," Bryan smirked. Rei laughed behind his hand next to him.

Both glares turned to them and Rei latched on to Bryan's arm. Kai's glare was bad enough alone, when you added Tala's to it, it was enough to make Tyson stop eating for a week.

"Well sorry we aren't a perfect couple like you," Tala said sarcastically.

Bryan grinned he was up for a challenge. He wrapped his arm around Rei's shoulders pulling him flush against his side. "Yes we're very lucky aren't we Rei?"

Rei smiled seeing where this was going; he fluttered his eyelashes playing along, "We just seem to fit together perfectly don't we Bry?"

Bryan smiled at the nickname, "We sure do my kitten," he leaned down and kissed Rei on the lips.

Kai glared; whenever he called Rei 'kitten' he got yelled at. It wasn't fair he wanted to be with Rei!

Tala burned a hole in Rei's back. Bryan never let anyone touch him even when he was hurt! He initiated contact with Rei! He wouldn't stand for it, Tala decided to play a game of his own.

Tala walked over towards Kai with a smirk on his lips; Kai was so going to kill him for this but it was worth it. Kai wasn't exactly a fan of PDA but maybe Tala could change his mind. Tala grabbed Kai's head and slammed his mouth upon his own.

What the hell? Tala knew Kai didn't like PDA let alone kissing his best friend. He hated when Tala got like this. Every time there was a competition he got really into it and with no doubt always dragged Kai into it. Now that he thought about it Kai realized that he had been a part of every one of Tala's crazy plans whether or not he wanted to. Bryan on the other hand was rarely involved. This made Kai think. Wouldn't Tala want the one he loved in his plans more than his best friend?

Kai was drawn out of his thoughts by a sharp kick to his legs. Tala was silently asking him to play along. Oh would he play along, Kai smirked, but he was going to get something in return. He grabbed the back of Tala's head pulling him closer.

Oh wow…was both Rei and Bryan's thoughts at the moment. Bryan however, would not allow Tala to win. He grabbed Rei and began doing the same thing as Tala.

Robert entered the lobby and choked at the sight he saw. Both confused couples were making out like no tomorrow in the middle of the room. He coughed to make his presence known.

They broke apart reluctantly; they wanted to know who won.

"Who won," Tala asked breathily.

Spencer smirked; they had had one of their competitions again, "Well… I think it was a tie," He hid behind Robert so he wouldn't be killed.

"A tie," Both Tala and Bryan growled simultaneously.

Spencer chuckled nervously and nudged Robert to change the topic so he wouldn't get murdered.

Robert shook his head at his boyfriend's antics but complied wanting to see Spencer live another day or shall we say night. "Who's going to take care of Rayne?"

Everyone except Tala groaned at Robert's question they really did not want to pick out a dress. Rayne was almost as scary as Bryan when she was angry and they did not want to feel her wrath if they chose wrong.

Robert smirked he could see their fear, "I'll do it," Tala offered not scared in the least; after all she wouldn't kill her own 'brother'…would she?

Robert looked at him warily could he trust him? …No, not alone at least. "Kai go with him."

"What," Kai growled angrily he did not want to be with Tala when he was released within the world of fashion.

"You can do makeup," Spencer smirked answering for his boyfriend, "Besides do you honestly trust Tala alone?"

Kai groaned seeing Robert and Spencer's point. He grabbed Tala's hand and dragged him out towards the car.

"Don't forget not to get anything with pink on it," Rei yelled after them trying to keep them from getting slaughtered.

Robert sighed he hoped the dress Tala picked would not be inappropriate. After all they all knew how perverted he could be.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tala," Kai glanced at him suspiciously, "Where exactly do you plan on getting this dress?"

Tala laughed nervously, "The mall."

Kai growled there were some pretty bad stores in the mall, "What store Tala?"

Tala mumbled something inaudible under his breath.

"Tala," Kai narrowed his eyes.

"Fine fine," Tala glared, "I was planning on getting something at Spencer's gifts, Hot Topic and Victoria's Secret."

Kai raised an eyebrow three stores for one dress?

"Trust me, you'll like it," Tala said confidently.

Kai sighed. He decided to let Tala pick out what he wanted. As long as it wasn't too bad Kai wouldn't interfere. He hoped he wouldn't have to because stopping a raging Tala from getting what he wants is never a good idea.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei was in the kitchen with Oliver baking way too many things at once. He was covered with sugar, flour and chocolate. Usually he hated getting dirty, but he didn't mind now; after all it was for the food and we all know that Rei would do anything for the food.

"So," Oliver began breaking Rei out of his trance, "What are you wearing tonight?"

Rei shrugged he honestly didn't know he had put the fate of his clothes into another's hands.

Oliver sighed; Rei just didn't get how important your appearance was when you're trying to win someone's heart. "Come to my room after we're done cooking, I think I can find you something to wear."

Rei shook his head, he already had someone taking care of it, "That's okay Oliver someone is already getting me clothes."

Oliver looked at him strangely he was the only person that wore the same size clothing as Rei; everyone else was larger. Unless…that was it! He was going to have Kai buy him clothes. He smiled, "So you're having Kai buy you clothes?"

Rei shook his head; Kai wasn't the one buying him an outfit, "No, Tala's buying me an outfit."

Oliver looked at him like he had grown two heads, "Why Tala? He's so…" he paused for lack of words to describe the red-headed blader, "Perverted."

Rei smiled, "Kai has a boring fashion sense. I want to be different. Who better than Tala to pick me out something outrageous?" Oliver nodded understanding. In all reality that wasn't the only reason he wanted Tala to pick him out an outfit, he was just too embarrassed to say the other.

Honestly Rei wanted to impress someone. The only problem was that he didn't know who he wanted to astonish. Sure he still liked Kai but there was something about Bryan that he couldn't put his finger on. The way they had kissed that morning was incredible. He knew Bryan had only done it to make Tala jealous…still it wasn't what he had expected kissing him would be like. He thought it would be rough; aggressive, but it wasn't. Instead it was gentle (or as gentle as Bryan could get,) it wasn't emotionless; there was feeling behind it. It had surprised him.

Rei blushed at the thought and concentrated on his cooking once more. Oliver looked up at a sound at the door and saw Bryan enter the kitchen, Rei however, didn't notice; he was too focused on his cooking.

Bryan's mouth watered; the food smelled so good! If only he could get a taste of it. He glanced between Rei and Oliver. Oliver seemed to be the safer choice to steal a taste from; Rei was scary when he started cooking. He started slowly walking towards Oliver, he knew Oliver didn't mind when people tasted his food; in fact he quite enjoyed getting their feedback! Rei on the other hand, thought it was a sin to touch the food before it was ready.

He was almost there; he could already taste the delicious chocolate in his mouth. However Bryan's plans were foiled by the evil Rei! The tiger glanced up from his cooking to find his precious food about to be violated by his 'boyfriend.' His eyes widened in fear; he did not want to have to start everything over again just because one stupid idiot tainted the flavor!

Rei's body reacted before he could even think. He let out a war cry and lunged toward the falcon. The next thing Bryan knew was that he was on the ground with Rei straddling his hips.

He raised an eyebrow at Rei's overreaction. "Do you do this every time someone walks into a kitchen?"

"No," Rei glared at him, "Only when they want to ruin the food!"

"I didn't want to ruin it," Bryan argued trying to earn a free taste.

"You were going to touch it!" Rei growled appalled, "Then whatever was on you hands would have joined the flavor of the food."

Bryan's eyes narrowed; was Rei implying what he thought he was implying? "Are you suggesting that I don't taste good?"

Oliver rolled his eyes at the couple, "Are you sure you just don't want to keep Bryan all to yourself?"

Rei smiled nervously ignoring what Oliver said, "No, it's not that you don't taste good…I just don't think you would go well with chocolate." He thought for a moment, "You'd go well with honey." Rei blushed as he realized what he had just said.

Bryan's mouth watered at the thought of Rei licking honey off of his entire body.

Oliver sighed; these two were so obvious yet so oblivious. He decided to give them a push in the right direction. He lightly tapped Rei on the behind and forced his upper body to fall flush against Bryan's. This forced their lips together.

Rei's eyes widened as he realized he was tasting what that had spoken of mere minutes ago. He hadn't been lying; Bryan really did taste good. It was some sort of spice that he couldn't place…it was a flavor he had never experienced before.

Bryan laughed and pushed Rei off of him to breath.

"What's so funny," Rei asked curious as to what made the falcon so out of character.

"You taste like honey," he stopped laughing and looked over at Rei who immediately began giggling.

Oliver shook his head; they were never going to get anything done if they kept acting like this. "You know the food is going to burn if you don't stir it soon."

Rei gasped and returned to his cooking, "Bryan you better leave or else I'm never going to get anything done."

Bryan nodded and leaned over as to kiss his cheek; instead he dipped his finger into whatever Rei was making and tasted it.

"BRYAN!"

He ran for the door a spatula flying after him narrowly missing his head.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai raised an eyebrow, who knew Tala had taste when it came to women's clothing?

"Do you like," Tala asked showing the dress off proudly.

Kai nodded, "Can we leave now?" He might be gay but that didn't mean he enjoyed shopping. They had already been there for four hours…he was ready to leave.

Tala glared at Kai, "No we're not done! We still have to buy things for ourselves and Rei."

Kai looked at Tala strangely, why was he buying something for Rei?

Tala, seeing Kai's confused look explained further, "Rei has nothing to wear."

He didn't feel the need to elaborate yet Kai was still confused, "He wants you to pick out an outfit for him?"

Tala was outraged, "I'll have you know that I have a wonderful fashion sense and people come up to me and ask me for fashion advice."

Kai raised an eyebrow, "Who asks you for fashion advice?"

Tala blushed, "…gay strippers."

Kai smirked, "Did they teach you anything?"

Tala rolled his eyes and dragged Kai into the next store.

"What exactly are you planning on buying Rei here," Kai asked warily. He didn't want Rei to show up in something provocative.

"Oh nothing really," he glanced at Kai and saw the worried look etched on his face, "It's not like I'm going to put him in something bad. I'm just going to make him look hot."

Tala stormed off to the other side of the store. He wasn't sure why but for some reason it bothered him when Kai got worried about Rei. It was almost as if he wanted to be the one he was so in love with. But that wasn't possible…was it?

Kai watched Tala walk away from him so angry. What had been with him lately? It was if Tala had become a whole other person. A jealous person. But Tala loved Bryan right?

Tala cheered up instantly as he saw an outfit perfect for Kai. It would take some major convincing to get him into it though. "Kai," he called smirking, "I found the perfect outfit for you."

Kai walked over narrowing his eyes. Tala was happy; too happy. He only used that tone when he wanted something and whatever Tala wanted he got.

Kai's eyes widened at what Tala was holding; he knew he should have never let Tala come into Hot Topic. "Tala," he growled angrily; he was not going to wear that thing!

"But Kai," Tala whined, "You'll look so good in leather!" The aforementioned 'thing' was in fact made out of leather. It consisted of black pants and a red leather jacket. The only things not made out of the 'evil fabric' were the black shirt and red and black striped tie.

"No Tala," he continued his eyes narrowing even more, "I am not wearing that."

"Oh come on! I'll let you pick out my outfit! I'll wear anything."

"Anything," Kai thought for a moment, "Does that include hair and makeup?"

Tala nodded his head eagerly, "Deal." Kai would get Tala to have his hair down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rayne woke up once again in the arms of Johnny except this time she was fully clothed. It wasn't so bad. In fact if he asked her out again she would probably say yes.

She turned around and saw Johnny's eyes open, "Hey."

"Hey yourself," Johnny said surprised that she had slept that long. It was 11 am and he had woken at 9. He watched her sleep the entire time and was now happy. Unlike yesterday Rayne hadn't jumped away when he had his arms around her.

"What time is it?" Rayne mumbled not fully awake. She was enjoying the warmth Johnny's body created.

"Eleven."

"Really?" Rayne asked surprised she had actually slept in.

"Yeah. I have something to show you after the dance," Johnny said nervously.

"Mhmmm," Rayne said not really paying attention, she was snuggling up to Johnny's chest for warmth.

"So don't go running off with Tala in the middle of the night!" Johnny joked.

That got Rayne's attention, "Now why would I go run off with Tala? He's my brother and he's gay. Plus Johnny, I'm not into incest."

Johnny laughed, "Then isn't this against the rules?"

"No," Rayne created a loop hole, "I can't sit next to a boy, but I can sleep with one."

Johnny grinned, "Not like that Johnny!" Rayne smacked him over the head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oliver and Rei walked out of the kitchen with completely different expressions on their faces. Oliver was wearing a smile on his face, he had made his food; it tasted good. There was nothing wrong. Rei however was pouting cutely. He had had to make everything twice because Bryan had contaminated everything else. Oh Bryan was going to pay for it!

They came upon Tala and Kai in the lobby. Tala was smiling happily bouncing through the room towards them while Kai was dragging behind carrying all of the bags.

Tala raised an eyebrow; he had never seen Rei pout before, "What's wrong kitty?"

Rei glared at the wolf, "Why don't you ask Bryan?" He started to walk away but remembered the name, "And don't call me kitten."

Tala scowled, "Oh but its ok when Bryan calls him it."

Kai nodded his head agreeing; he was starting to think that Rei liked Bryan.

They turned their attention to the remaining chef in the lobby, "Do you guys know where Enrique is? I have something for him," he said holding up chocolate covered strawberries.

Tala sighed dreamily sometimes Oliver could be so romantic, "He's probably in his room."

Oliver nodded bouncing towards the elevator. Tala looked around where had Kai gone?

Kai tapped Tala on the shoulder. He had seen the dreamy look on his face and he preferred to get rid of it as soon as possible. Tala just wasn't Tala unless he was loud and cunning; a soft and quiet Tala was creepy. Which is why he had ran to the kitchen and gotten Tala some ice cream; it wasn't as good as chocolate covered strawberries but it was the best he could do with the little time he had.

Tala's eyes widened at his treat. Who knew Kai could be so sweet? Kai handed him the ice cream and dragged Tala towards the elevator; he wanted to make sure Tala didn't use his usual 'I-don't-have-enough-time,' excuse. There was no way he was going to get out of what Kai was planning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bryan looked up at the sound of the door opening. He was greeting by the sight of a very angry kitten.

"Rei," he asked warily…he wasn't sure what the tiger was mad about but he was pretty sure it had something to do with him.

"Bryan," Rei growled; he was not happy, "You've made me mad and I have something very painful in mind."

Bryan rolled his eyes; he wasn't scared of anything Rei would do, but he decided to play along anyway, "Oh NO! What can I do to avoid this horrible punishment?"

Rei's eyes glinted, "You can let me pick out your outfit for the dance tonight."

Bryan sighed; he really didn't care what he was going to wear anyway. "Fine! Just don't make me wear a dress."

Rei smiled mischievously; he wasn't going to make Bryan wear a dress but he was going to make him wear something almost as bad…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What in the world is that? Was the thought running through three bladers heads. They were currently looking at the outfits Tala had picked out for them and let's just say that they weren't pleased. Each outfit included a little bit of leather and this was disconcerting to all of them.

Tala stood behind them smiling at his choice of clothing. He was sure they were going to love it!

Kai sighed if he wanted something he had to give Tala something in return…he just hoped it wouldn't attract all of the fan-girls, or fan-boys for that matter, in the area.

The bladers grudgingly took their respective outfits and went into their rooms to change.

Tala knocked on Rayne's room he was going to give her, her outfit. He received no answer. Puzzled at the new development he went into the Majestics' room to get some answers.

He asked the first person he came across, "ENRIQUE," said blader jumped in the air, "Where's Rayne?"

Enrique calmed down seeing that it was only Tala, "She moved in with Johnny," Tala raised an eyebrow as far as he knew (and he knew everything) his 'sister' wasn't 'with' Johnny yet, "She decided that she might as well sleep in there with clothes on than be moved in there with clothes off."

Tala glared, "What do you mean she had her clothes off?" Enrique laughed nervously and began to run as Tala dropped the dress on the ground.

Kai rolled his eyes. He picked the dress off of the ground and knocked on Johnny's door. He figured that if he had to do the makeup he might as well give her, her dress.

Rayne opened the door and let Kai enter.

"Where's Johnny," Kai asked curiously.

"Showering," was the short reply as she took the dress and put it on.

Kai bent down and began to put makeup on her face.

Rayne sighed she really did love gay guys they were just so talented.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a few hours everyone was ready. Everyone had their rightful outfit, makeup and hairstyle. All they need to do now was meet up with their dates.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai walked towards the lobby of the hotel. They had decided to meet there since he had to stay later doing everyone's makeup.

Tala shivered when he saw Kai. The phoenix was wearing black leather pants and a red leather jacket. Underneath he was wearing a black dress shirt and a red and black striped tie. The outfit wasn't the only reason he shivered; Tala was thinking back to what it felt like to have Kai put on his makeup.

X-x-xFLASHBACKx-x-X

"Tala," Kai said his voice husky, "Come here." He motioned to the chair in front of the mirror.

Tala obliged nervous; he wasn't sure what Kai was going to do to his face. Kai approached Tala and put his hands on Tala's cheeks. The wolf couldn't stop a shiver from running down his spine.

Kai grinned; he had noticed that shiver, maybe this makeover would last a little longer than needed. He loved to torture the Russian redhead.

He began on the dual horned hair; it would take a while to tame. Kai began to slowly brush the redhead's hair from root to tip.

Tala sighed; Kai was brilliant at relaxing people. He always knew exactly what to say and do. He loved the feeling of Kai stroking his hair; it was the perfect thing to calm him down.

Kai finished Tala's hair fairly quickly and he soon switched to the makeup aspect of the night.

He began to lightly brush eye-shadow on Tala's closed eyes.

Tala leaned into Kai's touch. He wanted this to last forever. Kai's touch was enchanting. The way he barely brushed his fingers against his skin, yet it made him shiver every time.

Alas Tala's wish was not granted; the makeover ended and he had to leave.

Xx End Flashback xX

Kai's eyes widened as he saw Tala; he looked amazing.

Tala was wearing an all black traditional suit with a black tie. He had his red hair down and his eyes were accented by blue eye-shadow.

He neared the wolf and they exchanged a glance. Kai linked his arm with Tala's and led him to the dance.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bryan sighed he couldn't wait to see Rei. He had left a half an hour earlier so he could take the stairs

When he finally reached the dance (they had decided to meet there,) Bryan looked around for his 'boyfriend.' Once he finally spotted him he growled under his breath.

He didn't know why but he had become protective of the tiger. It had all started out as a joke, but now it seemed as if it was more. As if they hadn't been acting and everything they had felt was real.

"GET AWAY FROM MY KITTEN!" The music stopped and everyone turned to him, his outburst was unexpected; they thought he was just acting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei was bored. He was standing by their assigned table waiting for Bryan to arrive. He glanced around nervously. He wasn't sure what he felt about Bryan; what he did know was that he liked him more than a friend.

He glanced up feeling a presence approach him; he expected it to be his 'boyfriend' but he was wrong. Instead he was greeted with the sight of a smirking Brooklyn.

"Brooklyn," Rei asked shakily. He didn't like the look on Brooklyn's face; he hadn't seen it since the last world tournament.

The way Rei said his name only made Brooklyn smirk more. Of course all of this was acting and he was only doing this to get paid, but still that didn't mean that this wasn't fun for him…he just hoped Mariah and Lee wouldn't kill him.

He stalked closer to his prey frozen in fear. Once he was close enough Brooklyn wrapped an arm around Rei's back pulling him closer. He leaned in close enough to brush his lips against the tigers when he was interrupted by a fearsome roar, "GET AWAY FROM MY KITTEN!"

Rei's eyes widened as he realized what was happening and he pushed his attacker away.

Bryan ran down the stairs ready to hurt Brooklyn even more, but once he saw Rei's frightened look he calmed down. Comforting his tiger was more important than hurting the one who caused this.

Brooklyn stood up brushing himself off. He glanced at Bryan's warning glare.

Bryan growled he didn't like that twinkle in Brooklyn's eyes, it was like he knew something they didn't.

Brooklyn bowed smoothly and began to walk away but not before muttering something inaudible to everyone except Bryan under his breath, "Take care of your kitten."

Bryan starred confused after him; what had that been about?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooklyn walked over to Oliver with his hand open.

"My money," Oliver nodded handing him the preset amount.

"Do you think it worked," The matchmaker asked curiously.

Brooklyn raised and eyebrow, "Of course it worked! Look at them, Rei's clutching to him like he's never going to let go and Bryan doesn't even care."

"Brooklyn," they heard a certain pink-haired blader screech in the distance. Aforementioned blader sighed; he now had to explain everything to his love.

He began to walk away hearing Oliver and Enrique chuckle at the situation he had just gotten himself into. This of course earned them the finger.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you okay," Bryan murmured softly into Rei's raven locks.

He merely got a nod in response.

"Do you want to go back to the room," he asked swaying softly to the music.

Rei shook his head; he didn't want to ruin Bryan's night. He didn't loosen his grip on the falcon but started to dance along to the song playing. Bryan smiled and joined in.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tala glanced at Kai while Brooklyn was advancing on Rei. What he saw surprised him, Kai wasn't blind with rage. He didn't look like he was ready to kill. He looked worried about a friend, only a friend. Tala smiled, maybe he had a chance. He's just hoping his suspicion is right.

Kai was surprised. His reaction to what had happened to Rei was less severe than he thought. It was weird, instead of making him protective of Rei it was making him protective of Tala. He didn't want anyone to do that to his wolf. Kai tightened his grip on Tala's waist.

He leaned down and whispered huskily into Tala's ear, "Let's dance."

Tala grinned pulling Kai to the dance floor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rayne looked around the room in wonder. It seemed that everyone was getting their happy ending. She was glad everyone was joyful. She hated seeing people sad.

Rayne jumped when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.

"Are you ready," Johnny whispered in her ear.

"Yes," She answered. She really wanted to know what Johnny was so eager to show her.

"Follow me."

Johnny really wanted to get out of there before the duel. He knew he couldn't win. Sure he was strong but he was no match for Oliver. He was too graceful and way too fast.

Who knows maybe they'll get a happy ending of their own.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the last song of the night, and everyone was leaving…Well almost everyone. Our two couples were still on the dance floor slowly swaying to the music.

"Do you want to go upstairs," Bryan murmured softly to his dance partner.

Rei nodded his head tiredly; today had been a long day. He began to walk towards the stairs stumbling in his drowsiness. Bryan shook his head and picked him up bridal style and began to climb the stairs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai looked down to the hyper wolf in his arms, "You want to go upstairs Tal?"

Tala smirked and got a mischievous look in his eyes, "You bet I do," he said huskily dragging Kai towards the elevator door quickly.

Kai just rolled his eyes at the red-heads antics.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bryan opened the door their room ready to let the tiger get some much needed sleep. He however wasn't greeted with the sight he expected. His room used to have two double beds, now it had only one king sized bed.

Bryan sighed; Oliver must have planned it. It was something only he and his lover would do. He gently placed Rei on the bed hoping not to wake him. This however did not work; Rei awoke as he was set on the bed.

The tiger glanced around curiously, wondering how he had gotten into their room. He looked over to Bryan who was beginning to lie down on the ground.

"What are you doing?" He asked the question startling Bryan.

"I was going to sleep on the ground," He blushed slightly, "I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."

Rei grinned at the sight. How adorable Bryan cared! "It'd be uncomfortable without you." He rubbed the spot next to him signaling to Bryan that it was ok to 'sleep' with him.

Bryan nodded and lied down next to Rei. He pulled the tiger flush against his chest and began to drift to sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Johnny why are we in a private jet?" Rayne asked curious as to what he could possibly want to show her on an airplane.

"You'll see," Johnny said smiling, "First. Where do you want to go?"

"Wait…What?" Rayne asked wondering if she had heard him clearly.

"Where do you want to go? I will take you wherever you want." Johnny said sweetly.

Rayne looked at him lovingly, "Where do I want to go Johnny?"

"I don't know Rayne, but I do know that you should look out the window."

Rayne turned her head and saw the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. The city lights spelled four words that meant the world to her. I love you Rayne.

"I've always had a thing for redheads. Johnny," she jumped on him, "I want to go somewhere with you."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai fumbled with the keys to their rooms causing Tala to growl; he wanted in that room now! Tala grabbed the keys out of Kai's hand and opened the door quickly. He pulled Kai inside and slammed him against the now closed door.

Tala moaned into the kiss; this was so much better than he thought possible.

Kai sighed in both pleasure and annoyance. He was annoyed because Tala hadn't gotten any in almost a week and Kai was pretty sure he was going to be the red-head's guinea pig. Not that he minded…

Tala threw Kai onto the bed and began to ravish the blue-headed boy's body…yes he was most definitely Tala's guinea pig.

Obviously Kai wasn't going to get any sleep that night.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where's Johnny," Oliver asked as he entered the roof curious as to whether or not the duel was still on.

"With Rayne," Robert answered, "Taking her wherever she wants to go."

"How does he see that equal to a dinner," Enrique asked laughing.

"I have no idea," Spencer said also joining the conversation, "Oliver you owe me twenty bucks."

"No you owe me twenty bucks!"

"What are they arguing over now," Enrique asked curiously.

Robert answered by breaking up the fight, "Neither of you get any money because they got together after five days; directly in the middle."

"So what exactly happened with everyone tonight," Oliver asked wondering if his other match making projects were working.

"Tala's with Kai and Bryan's with Rei," Spencer answered happily.

"Wait what," Enrique asked confused.

"It's a long story," Spencer laughed.

"Let's just say Kai's not going to get any sleep tonight," Robert commented amused.

"Neither were you," The other three bladers said laughing.

All four ran towards the door eager to get to their room.

Needless to say no one in the hotel got any sleep that night.

END
