Bffimagine: Hello!
Kai: Damn you.
Rei: Shut up. I'm trying to sleep.
Kai: You don't NEED to sleep.
Rei: Why not?
Kai: You're an anime character. We don't need to sleep.
Bffimagine: That was a very random conversation.
Kai and Rei: Just shut up and write.
The witch's eyes narrowed.
Kai cleared his mind. 'Good thing I had powers even before I became a vampire.' He thought as his thoughts were erased from his mind.
"Er… I'm sorry to sound rude but you are a strange-looking person." The witch bowed her head in shame and Kai tried hard to think obvious, inconspicuous thoughts.
'That woman is very strange… don't say anything, it would be rude,' he thought.
"Oh… um, no one's said that to me before…"
"I'm sorry."
The witch turned back and Kai felt her senses leave his mind.
Kai sighed inaudibly and let his head rest on Rei's shoulder. He nodded off, and soon felt as if he could fly on the air currents of dreamland.
Rei slightly jumped as he heard the pilot's voice boom through the announcer.
"Good morning passengers. I just wanted to inform you that it will be four hours until we reach our destination; Moscow, Russia. Your breakfasts' are coming around at this time, so we recommend you remain seated."
Kai mumbled something about the announcement and snuggled up closer to Rei. Rei obligingly leaned his head on top of Kai's, closing his eyes and dozing for the time being.
"You're welcome ma'am."
Rei woke up completely as he heard the flight attendant finish serving the woman in front of him, and he prodded Kai awake as well.
Kai nodded drowsily and opened his eyes. He lifted his head off Rei's shoulder and covered his mouth as he yawned.
"Good morning sirs," the woman in the blue uniform smiled as she greeted the two teenagers.
"Good morning!" Rei smiled back. Kai flashed a small grin at the woman and greeted her quietly.
The blonde woman grinned happily as she pulled the trolley over to Kai and Rei's seats.
"What would you like this morning?"
"What do you have?" Rei asked almost boldly, but politely nonetheless.
"We have either the Western breakfast, the Fruit platter or the eggs and bacon breakfast. What would you like sir?"
Rei pointed to the fruit and nodded. He glanced over at Kai, who was holding his head and looking sick.
"And you sir? Are you alright?" The flight attendant looked worried, and she leaned in slightly to see if Kai was okay.
"I'll be fine."
"That's good. And what would you like?"
"If you have a protein supplement that would be fine."
"I can do that. Are you sure you don't want anything to eat sir?"
"Yes. Thank you."
The flight attendant nodded cheerfully and moved on to the next row.
"Are you okay Kai?"
"I'm hungry."
"She had that entire trolley of food!" Rei shouted in a whisper, not realizing how naïve his statement was.
"Hungry for blood."
Rei went quiet.
"Oh. But do you think that protein thing will help?"
"That's mostly what blood is made of anyways. It should be able to tide me over until we land and find Tala."
Rei pouted slightly.
"I don't want you to kill anyone."
Kai sighed softly.
"I don't want to kill anyone anyway. I just want this to be over."
Rei ran his fingertips soothingly across Kai's cheek.
"I don't want you to die of starvation either. We'll have to find Tala right away."
Kai nodded in agreement. He felt sick, and he doubted the protein would help, but it would keep his hunger to a minimum, if that were possible. He still yearned for blood, but he kept his cravings suppressed.
Rei looked at his watch. The flight attendant had left fifteen minutes ago, and Rei had already finished his breakfast. She hadn't come back with the protein yet.
Taking a worried glance at Kai, Rei noticed Kai seemed too weak to keep his eyelids open. He was leaning against the window, looking as if he needed to throw up. Kai's veins seemed to be frozen solid, and the blood in them was either not moving or there was none in there at all.
"Hang in there Kai."
Kai tried to nod but collapsed against the window instead. Rei caught him before he fell forward, and held him to his chest. Kai leaned into Rei's body, but could no longer keep his eyes open. Weakness flooded through every square inch of his body.
Finally the pretty blonde woman returned with a protein shake, and she handed it to Rei, giving Kai a worried glance.
"He's tired from the jet-lag. He'll be fine," Rei gave the woman a reassuring, convincing, but very fake, smile.
Once the blonde lady was gone, Rei tipped Kai's chin and rested the two-toned head on his chest. He sucked some of the shake into his mouth with the straw the flight attendant had provided and pressed his lips to Kai's. He let the liquid slowly trickle into Kai's mouth, receiving quizzical looks from the people beside them.
When Rei was sure Kai had the entire mouthful of protein down his throat he pulled the blanket they had received from the night before over himself, making it look as if he was going to sleep. He covered both himself and Kai, shielding them from weird stares.
After the looks were re-located, Rei sneakily slipped the protein shake under the blanket with him and Kai and continued feeding the liquid to Kai until the can was empty. Then, stealthily, he slipped the can back onto the little table attached to the chair in front for the blonde lady to pick up. He pulled a pen and paper from his pocket and scribbled a thank-you note on it as quickly as possible. He slipped that onto the table as well.
Rei gently rested Kai's head on his shoulder and he rested his own head against the pillow the lady had given him with the blanket the night before.
And just as Rei fell asleep with Kai, the witch woke up.
'What a nice nap. Wow, it's been a long time since breakfast. I can't believe I slept that whole time!'
The vampire hunter stretched and yawned. She soon dozed off, wishing the flight would be over soon.
Bffimagine: No cliffie. Very strange. Okay, so what should I do? Give up on this vampire hunter? Or keep her going a bit?
Kai: I don't care. Just leave me alone.
Bffimagine: How come you're not my friend anymore?
Rei: I know!
Bffimagine: Why?
Rei: It's because he thinks you're going to kill him. He doesn't want to die.
Bffimagine: What am I supposed to do then?
Rei: I dunno.
Kai: What about: DON'T KILL ME!
Bffimagine: Hey! Rei may actually be right for once… about Kai anyways…
Rei: Just review!
Kai: Yes! To stop this torture quickly!
