Chibi Kai: Chapter 13: Day In The Pool

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

Kai opened his eyes and yawned, stretching his tiny arms over his head. He glanced around the room, smiling when he saw Rei laying on the other bed, staring at the ceiling.

Kai quietly climbed out of his bed, his stuffed tiger safely tucked under his arm.

"Rei?" Kai whispered, trying to get the older boys attention.

When Rei didn't respond, Kai pouted. He threw his tiger on the bed, then tried to climb up the sheets.

"Stupid bed being to high." he thought to himself.

After a few tries, he made it up. He frowned as he looked at Rei. He still hadn't noticed him yet.

Pouting once more, Kai climbed on Rei, sitting on his stomach and crossing his arms. Rei looked at the child, surprised he was there.

"When did you wake up?" Rei asked.

"Couple minutes ago." Kai answered. "Why?"

"Just wondering." Rei shrugged. "Do you want to go swimming?"

Kai nodded eagerly, his eyes shining with excitment. Rei smiled and picked him up, standing from the bed to get their swimming gear.

Kai smiled as he and Rei dressed. He'd never really been allowed to swim before. His grandfather never let him. His smile turned into a small frown and he shivered as he thought about the times he had been caught trying to take a small swim to relax.

"Kai?" Rei said, noticing the far off gaze in Kai's eyes. "Something wrong?" he added when he got the child's attention.

"Just remembering something from a while ago." Kai answered, looking at the floor.

"Do you want to tell me about it?" Rei asked, kneeling in front of the small captain.

"No!" Kai screamed, a look of fear on his face.

"It's fine. Calm down." Rei said softly, picking the boy up. Kai buried his face in Rei's chest. "Do you still want to go swimming?" Rei asked, rocking the child slowly.

Kai nodded his head as he pushed away slightly. Rei got the hint and placed him down. Rei grabbed the towels and sun screen and walked out of the door, Kai following closely behind him.

---

"Finally!" Tyson yelled, seeing Rei and Kai walking through the gate to get in.

"What took you so long?" Max called to them, swimming to the side of the pool to talk to them easier.

"Kai was tired. Sorry Max." Re explained. "Come here Kai." he said, calling the small child before he jumped in the pool.

Kai looked up at Rei. He bit his lip and slowly made his way to Rei. Was Rei mad at him? Had he done something wrong? He stood in front of Rei and looked up at him. Rei leaned down and put the sun screen on Kai's face, shoulders, arms, back, stomach, and chest.

"Sit down." Rei said, squirting more sun screen in his hand.

Kai sat on the ground like Rei said. Rei spread the sun screen on his legs, smiling softly.

"Ok. Now you won't burn." Rei smiled.

"So, you're not mad at me?" Kai asked.

"Of course not. Why would I be?" Rei questioned, a frown on his lips.

Kai sighed in relief. "I thought you were mad." Kai explained before he ran to the pool and stepped down the stairs into the cool water.

Rei watched him for a few minutes. "Why did he think I was mad?" Rei wondered as he sat in a chair by a small table. "He acts like that off and on. I wonder why."

Rei looked up when he heard a high pitched yelp. He saw Tyson laughing and Kai glaring at the blader. Calming down, Rei sat back in his seat, closing his eyes to relax.

"Rei!" Kai called a few short seconds after Rei closed his eyes.

"What's wrong Kai?" Rei called back.

"Tyson keeps splashing me!" he complained. "Please help Rei!"

Rei sighed and stood up, stretching slightly.

"And what do you want me to do about it?" Rei said, putting his hands on his hips.

"I don't know." Kai replied, shrugging his tiny shoulders.

"Well if you can't think of anything..."Rei said turning his back and walking further from the pool.

Kai frowned as Rei walked away from him. He sat down on the stairs, his nose just above the water. He looked back up when he heard foot steps running towards the pool.

"Look out!" Tyson warned as he tried to swim away.

"Too late Tyson!" Rei laughed, jumping in the water right beside the teen, dragging him under the surface.

"No! Tyson!" Max called, laughing as his friends swam up.

Rei swam over to Kai, who was giggling quietly.

"Are you happy now?" Rei asked.

"Uh huh!" Kai said, smiling.

"Good." Rei said before he splashed Kai.

"Hey!" Kai pouted, kicking water at Rei.

Rei smiled and swam a little ways away from him. Kai watched him swim away, frowning slightly. He walked deeper into the water, growling slightly as it became harder for him to keep his head above water.

"What's wrong Kai?" Rei asked, noticing the captain's hesitation.

"It's kind of hard to swim when you're this little." Kai explained, crossing his arms.

"Well come on then." Rei smiled, pulling Kai towards him.

Kai clung to Rei as Rei moved through the pool, swimming around the other.

"Don't tense." Rei ordered softly. "You'll only sink faster."

"That helps." Kai grumbled, glaring slightly at Rei.

"I know." Rei smiled, swimming to the side, and grabbing the blow up floaty bed thingy(1) that Tyson had blown up and decided not to use. He put Kai on it before he climbed up himself, laying down and sighing contentedly.

Kai held onto Rei, getting used to the float. He laid his head on Rei's stomach, closing his eyes and enjoying the ride.

"Aww!" Tyson and Max teased Kai.

Kai growled and glared at the two.

"Tyson. I will kill you." Kai threatened.

"No you won't!" Tyson shot back. "You'll just send me to the hospital!"

"Don't tempt me Tyson." Kai growled.

"Kai, calm down." Rei said smiling, playing with Kai's hair for practically the millionth time that day.

Kai nodded slightly and laid his head back on Rei's stomach, closing his eyes and relaxing completely. Tyson and Max watched the two before giving each other a triumphant look.

"Kenny! Do you see this?" Max whispered to Kenny, who was sitting by the pool, kicking his feet in the water.

"I see it Max. I see it." Kenny replied.

Rei glanced down at Kai, smiling softly before it quickly turned into a frown. He thought over how Kai had acted since he was turned back into a child. He was himself sometimes and childish sometimes, which was cute. But sometimes, he was afraid. Why was he like that? Rei would just have to figure that out.
