Dranzen:
Aww, you didn't actually scare me...okay, you kinda did but that's okay. =) As for Dranzer...I consider the bit beast as a her since most of the writers on thinks that too...=D I just get a good feeling that Dranzer is a she, but that's just an opinion, you can think whatever you like! Unleash your imagination!! =7
Bonnie Mizuhara:
Yes, I luv a good sense of imagery! =P and of course this will be a KaiXRei, they are the ultimate pairing!!! I would never be a traitor...=3 my loyalties lies within that pairing...
Dragon-girl 02:
Yes, I understand you. Cuteness does drive people insane sometimes, you won't believe how many times I squealed while writing the last chapter...my mom thought I had brain damage from that electric shock I'd have earlier that day...heheheh...=P
Songs make me cry:
As I point out above...kawaii-ness drives people insane...;) now, here the method to calm down from such cuteness...just hold your breathe...=) trust me it works...don't breath, hold your breathe! Wink, wink
Heh...
Kitty:
Really? Pwee, I thought you were against KaiRei...=) but I'm so glad to find another KaiRei fan out there! Yey! Adds Kitty to KaiRei fan list heh...
UlTiMaTe KaI LuVa:
Uhh...can you explain the face? Or is it a symbol? ?? really can't figure it out...=P
Sasukes IceKitten:
I hope I spelled your user name right...;) yes, you're quite right, it did take me forever to update...but I'm not a slowpoke because apparently one of my friends on haven't updated her fanfic for over a year and a half...=)
Yin Yang Tiger Girl:
I know! =) It's just so absolutely cute! And thanx for the grammar correction...-.- my grammar's bad...so sue me will ya...no wait, don't sue me!!! Me got no money!!! Heheh...Oh and about that picture, it's of Kai walking on the sidewalk while looking back down at the end of his scarf in a kind of annoyed expression, while Rei hung on the end of his white scarf in this kind of black kitten outfit... he was barely any bigger then two palms, and it was really cute! =3 I totally agree!! SUGAR IS DA BOMB!!! Let's rule the world with sugar!!!! =)
TigerRain a.k.a Tara:
Well...hey there! I bet you probably skipped the last chapter where I thanked the reviewers that reviewed chapter 1. Many of them asked the exact same question, so I'll just repeat myself again. The answer to that might not be revealed very soon, or maybe never...=) You just have to continue reading and hopefully I give you a few clues...or maybe none at all, but I don't think I'm prepared to tell any of you who called on the phone, but the white kitten Kai picked up is definitely the real Rei. And, I don't really know when the other bladebreakers will find out about the kitten...since if they do, Kai's reputation, as a cold-hearted sourpuss will be crashing down. But I think it's gonna happen in this chapter =D that was long...heh...
Meow! Rei-Rei:
Okie...another curious reader asking how Rei could of called...mmm...why don't you just scoop down and I'll give all those curious kittens out there that answer to that...=3
Hogger warty:
That's okie, I get on sugar soo often my parents think I'm a nutcase too...heh...and yes, don't you just luuuuv my description of the cute, innocent, adorable, tiny, cute, vulnerable, cute...kitten? Lolz, I can just imagine when all of Kai's icy walls melts away...=P As for that question about Rei seeing things while with Kai...mmm...read and find out!!! =) Oh, well, I'm not sure just how deep Kai's feelings are for Rei...=3 after all, authors does have limited powers...and, I also have absolutely no idea if Rei likes Kai. I think Rei does like Kai, and besides, this is a KaiRei fanfic so they have to kinda like each other at the beginning to make things more interesting, don't ya think? =)
Suheil373:
It seems that everyone is on sugar high at the time they reviewed...=3 so was I =) It's a small world...and I totally understand that attention span...I once tried to read this one-shot, and it took me like the whole day before I can finally understand what was going on...not that the story was bad or anything...just I had a whole bag of candy in front of me that my mom dropped off as she went shopping...heh...
AoiSea:
Ooo, cat food! That'll be a fun idea to put in here! =) With the other bladebreakers' help, Kai'll probably have a good idea what to buy for the little kitten...though I wonder if Rei'll get use to the cat food...thanx! You just gave a very, very nice idea! =3 And yes, only time can tell.
Devilburns:
It's absolutely adorable!! =3 heheheh...
Keisan:
Whoa...a looong review...mmm. Let see. Yes Kai is a bit OOC but that's the way my world goes...=) Well, it was by pure coincidence that Rei was turned into a kitten, it could have been anyone, but if it were anyone, then there wouldn't be a very interesting story to tell now would there...=P And as for the phone call, scoop down and see my answer.
Yes! Now that you mentioned it, Sodapop does kinda reminds me of Joey...mm...interesting...who was your favourite character? Sodapop was mine...=) he is just the best character in there...in the middle of the trio brothers and looking like a greek god...=3
Game-kid17:
Oh, I've never seen you here...are you new? Well, I hope you come up with something good to write 'bout...sorrie if ur idea and mine are similar...=3 that happened to me once too...lolz...it's funnie how the world works...and I'm glad you are enjoying it! --Well, of course ur enjoying...or else you wouldn't review if u didn't like it...now would u? Nah...=D
Akata: all right, for all those who are confused—yet still—by the phone call, its all part of the suspense guys! You've got to have a little mystery to the story to make it more interesting ya know...=P So that's my little dip of mystery. And I don't know for sure if the answer will be there or not, just gotta read on. =7 now, on to chapter 3 that you've all been waiting for.
Knocking On A Different Door
Chapter 03: Cats hate water
"Kai! There you are! Where've you been man? We were waiting for like...forever!" Tyson exclaimed as he watched the calm team captain pace across the living room of the blue dojo, holding his white scarf, which was in a bundle in his palms."..." Without a reply as usual, the silent boy entered the current bedroom, and exited a few minutes later.
"Oh great...why did I even bother calling him over...it's not like he'll start up a nice conversation or anything...the guy's just plain boring!" grunting at the fading shadow into the washroom, Tyson folded his arms in a stubborn manner and glared at the retreating form.
"Aww, come on Tyson, you've known Kai for this long. You should know that that's his typical style..." Trying to cheer up his best friend, Max said in a reassuring tone.
"Yeah well, I just wish that old grump can change a little for once..." that was his last grunted sentence before his little brain went back to revolve around more childish things, such as the currently television show that is beaming through the TV.
/This is just great...why did Tyson call me to come all the way over to his house just to sleep over and do nothing! Argh...that lazy brainless of a team mate should train extra hours. /
Well, the doing nothing part wasn't completely true. They'd all agree to stay at Tyson's house to train for the next coming tournament and for the reunion, which had taken place the day before yesterday. But in the mean time, there was nothing for Kai to do around here but just lounging around and watching Tyson stuff his face day after day. They'd all voted that training was going to start the day after tomorrow, since they all wanted some free time with their old friends, which was Tyson's stupid idea...
/I don't know why I even bother sometimes...putting up with those brats.../
He was distracted when the creature in his hands moved slowly, the lump under the scarf began to slowly rise, and the top began frantically moving around along with panicky meows echoing softly around the washroom.
Sighing slowly, Kai pulled the white material off the white kitten and then dropped the long piece of clothes in a corner. And he'd once again, held the little animal by the scuff of its neck, this time, making sure it won't be able to reach his face to add more additions to his feature (Aaa, handsome, strong feature...starts dreaming off).
Staring it straight in the eye, Kai then slowly shook his head before he placed it on the sink counter and went to take a bath. Filling up the tub with the right temperature, Kai began to strip down.
Rei's POVEarlier today, I've done a bad thing...I ruined Kai's face! I knew I shouldn't of tried to smack him...but I never knew a baby kitten was so weak! No wonder they need their mother's full protection.
And now...I'm watching the guy I happen to admire strip down...to...well, to whatever he needs to take a bath...which is practically nothing...which means I'll see him...naked...which means...oh god...
If I were a normal human right now, which thankfully I'm not, my whole face would be tomato red...even as a kitten, which is a very strange new experience, I could still feel the heat raising.
Oh great...I've just meowed and caught his attention...
And he is naked!!!!! GAAAH! Close eyes, this is inappropriate for children under the age of 16!! Wait...I am 16...heh...my fault. (Not so good at describing body parts...so, no ranted R in here...=) sorry for those horny fans out there...=P)
But still! I've NEVER seen anyone naked...let a long a teammate...okay, I have to breath...breath...breath...don't worry, he can't see the blush, he can't see my nervousness, and besides...he doesn't know it's me...so what he doesn't know can't hurt him right? Yeah...it can hurt me!
Normal POVStripping down to nothing, Kai was about to step into the bath which is now filled with warm liquid when yet, another soft meow echoed to his ears. Turning around, Kai noticed for the first time that the white fur covering the kitten was lingering with tiny bits of dirt and melting snow.
/Great...I have to give this runt a bath...sheesh, now I know what it would be like if Rei had actually gotten that baby tiger cub for my birthday last year.../
Glaring softly at the kitten who closed its eyes for unknown reasons, the Russian sighed once more at how soft he'd gotten over this furball, as he picked it up by the scuff of its neck once more and shifted over to the edge of the bath tub, prepare to take a nice warm bath along with his new pet.
/Yeah, yeah, yeah...I've taken in account that this thing is going to be my 'pet' for the short time that it's staying with me till I can find the irresponsible person who owns it. /
It seems that the fact of the cat hating water was true, because at the first sight of element, the kitten's shiny golden eyes widened to an adorable image yet horror was reflecting off the mirrors of its eyes, as it began to kick it's little furry paws to try and get away from the liquidy substance, yet being very unsuccessful.
Kai smirked at the reaction to the water as he lowered the creature closer to the water surface. A terrified meow escaped its throat as the struggling continued, the movement increasing. Several other horrified meows echoed around as the kitten's tail touched the water, and the instant it did, it was immediately curled up into a round ball shape against its bottom to try and keep it dry from the horrible element that is water.
/Every cat's nightmare...I wonder how Rei would react if I dropped him into a pond...mmm...interesting thought...maybe I should try it someday.../
Continued to smirk evilly at the thought, Kai stepped into the warm water, and sat down at the bottom, letting his whole body sink into the welcoming water, while the hand that held the kitten still lingered on top, ready to release it any second.
"Time for your bath..." with a final warning, the blunette released the runt from his grip who let out a scared meow as it hit the water.
Of course, Kai wasn't that malicious, he'd prepared to catch the little furball under the water, as one of his hands supported the kitten while it sat on it with its wet head popping out of the water as it embraced the little creature's body like a mother would a child.
Blinking its large golden eyes a few times as its body adjusted to the warmth, the kitten looked towards its 'owner' for a few seconds before letting out a comforting meow and snuggled deeper into the water, apparently liking the warmth. Finding that it didn't need its forepaws to support itself to sit up, the white furry creature began to play with the swirling water all around it, twisting and turning to try and catch something Kai couldn't quite see.
Finding the substance to its astonishment, a playful expression appeared on the water cupped face as it continued to be fascinated by the element of water. One of its forepaw accidentally hit against the water's surface, creating a small splash that landed on the baby neko's face.
Immediately, it began to blink in confusing, and using its other forepaw, it tries to wipe off whatever it was that had gotten onto its face, but being the newborn kitten that it is, there wasn't much knowledge at everyday life in the kitten's mind. Kai watched all this happen and couldn't help but let his lips curl slightly upwards to form a small smile, while the creature continued using its forepaws to get rid of whatever has landed on its face, straightening out its white fur in the process.
/It's adorable.../
And who wouldn't be thinking that, with its white fur plastered onto its face, framing it as shimmering drops of crystal clear water lingered at the end of its transparent whiskers, adding that adorable expression on its face, with two tiny paws covering its little shiny black nose and head titled slightly sideways in a confused manner as bright amber eyes shone with wonder and bewilderment. The whole image of the kitten just screams out "ADORABLE" and still has space for innocence to take place.
Letting out a satisfied sigh, Kai leaned against the edge of the bathtub and rested there, with his eyes closed, his elbow against the side of the tub, supporting his hand, which held the creature that he claimed to be 'adorable'.
He didn't know just how much time has passed as he drifted off, but tiny little splashes against his face snapped him back into reality. Automatically, a glare appeared on his face as he reopened his eyes to scowl at whoever that dared to splash him. But couldn't as he stared right into a pair of amber eyes filled with happiness and delight. Seeing it was the little runt that had used it tiny paws to pour water onto his face, an evil idea came to mind as he dropped his hand which had supported the little neko, letting the baby cat panic for a moment before pushing it towards his chest which was a few centimetres under water, letting the furball sit on it.
Blinking a few times to get the water out of its eyes, the baby kitten shook its head from side to side to get rid of some of the water while it splashed onto Kai's face again and then meowed.
"What do you think your doing?"
Glaring playfully at the creature in front of his face, a smirk cupped his feature as he stared at its cute features.
/When did the word 'cute' enter my vocabulary? Gee, I've got to start training more.../
After a few moments just staring at the team captain of the bladebreakers, it extended one of its baby paws and moved it across one side of Kai's cheeks, wiping away the blue paint on his face. A few seconds later, it did the same thing with the other side of the bluenette's cheeks, and now Kai's face titled above the water, paint-free.
Rei's POVI can do so much in this kitty form...and it wouldn't get me kicked off the team. Oh great, now my paws are blue...but, Kai look...so much more human and younger without that stupid blue shark marks...though he also look more vulnerable and innocent too...I really wish he wouldn't wear those symbols for one day...while I'm back in my human form of course...
Oh well, it's still nice to see him in kitty form...after all; it's still the same old me...just in a different form.
Letting my baby paws sink into the water as the blue substance mixed with the liquid, and off my fur, I continue to stare at the paint-freed face. It's just so strange to see another side of Kai that I've never imagine I would be able to see...
Oh no...no, no, no...I'm not falling any harder for Kai, no way! Uh-uh...no, no, no!
Alright, alright! I am falling harder for him...damn that...I should of never came back to Japan...what was I thinking? Like Kai'll ever harbour the same feelings for me...all I'm gonna get is rejection! Man...that bites...
Maybe sleep'll do some good, I'm exhausted...
Normal POVA few moments later, the white kitten meowed in a sweet tone which was followed by a small yawn (well, since it's a baby kitten, it can't yawn too big, since it doesn't have a big moth—unlike Tyson—so, naturally it's a small yawn) Its soft fur pushing harder against Kai's bare skin underneath the water as it stretched slightly and moved up to Kai's neck. Licking one side of his cheeks with its small red tongue, another soft meow escaped its lips as it folded its arms one on top of the other on Kai's shoulder and rested its head on there, eyes closing shut wanting to get some rest.
/Maybe I should too.../
Sitting up in a slow motion so the kitten wouldn't fall off, the bluenette cupped the small creature in his hands and stood up from the water. Reaching over the edge of the tank to get one of the fluffy towels. He laid one onto the side of the sink counter and softly placed the slumbering kitten on there.
Quickly drying off and putting on his scarlet PJ's, the crimson-eyed Russian lifted the object along with the towel and exited the mist-filled washroom, while dropping his dirty clothes into the laundry basket on his way out.
"Hey Kai! You've spent quite some time in there...what were you—" in a rather loud voice, Tyson spoke.
"Shush up Tyson!" In a demanding voice, Kai of the bladebreakers continued across the spacious room and to where his sleeping bag laid as he sent a glare across his shoulders at his confused teammate.
"What's up Kai?" Noticing the object lying motionless in his captain's hands, Tyson raised an eyebrow.
"..." Not in the mood for talking (Not that he ever is...) he searched through his bag for another fluffy towel to cover the creature up to keep it out of the hands of a fever.
"Ehh...Kai...there's a kitten on that towel..."speaking so, the Japanese gawked at the creature in owe.
"I know that..." in his usual cold voice while an annoyance also laid on top of that, Kai sighed and replied reluctantly.
"Tyson, why don't you just leave out all the questions..." a signal to the end of their little conversation, Kai snuggled into his sleeping bag and turned to face the wall where the kitten laid against, his back towards the rest of the room.
"Okay...but you better explain this tomorrow..." Not wanting to leave out his curiosity, Tyson said while making Kai promise something he doesn't want to do.
"Whatever..." that was the last word the cold-hearted captain spoke to his cobalt-headed friend as Tyson slowly turned and made his way out of the room.
As soon as he heard the footsteps of the annoying teammate fading off, he reached out one of his hands and lightly petted the slumbering animal while leaving a small kiss on its forehead, letting its soft fur tickle against his skin for a second, feeling its tenderness.
"'Night kitten..." in a voice barely above a whisper, a blissful smile graced his parted lips as the one who claimed to be Prince of the ice, drifted off into his own world, unknown of the reducing layers of ice around his heart.
To Be Continued...Akata: Aww! Doesn't that just gives you the fluffy warm feeling and makes you want to say...AWWW!!!=) I especially loved this chapter because you can clearly see Kai's walls of ice slowly melting off and drifting away...Heheheh...the last part just makes me think that that was the actual human Rei that was lying there beside him...squeals this is turning out to be adorable! Don't ya think? Review!!! =D and I'll expect to see those grammar corrections in the reviews right? =3 I luv you pplz oh so much...
