Max: Chapter 15: Up's and Down's

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

Rei couldn't sleep. He was anxious to know if the spell would work or not. The up side to the spell working was that they'd have their captain back. The down side, Kai would probably shut them out again and Rei wouldn't be able to take care of him anymore like he had been doing. Of course, if the spell didn't work, he wouldn't have the person he fell in love with.

Rei sighed. This was too confusing. Did he want Kai to be his old self or did he want him to stay a child? Well, he wanted Kai back because it was nice to be able to admire his body while he was the same age. He had a strong, but not disgustingly buff, build, his eyes were harder and less innocent than they are right now, and his smile (at least when he smiles) is just so sexy. Plus, wanting Kai like that while Kai was a child made him feel like a pedophile.

On the other hand, with Kai being a child, he could take care of him. He was free to worry about him and show that he cared about the captain without Kai thinking any different of him. He was also an adorable little child. He was just so sweet and innocent!

Rei smiled at the last thought. Kai was a cute kid, even though he did act like his normal self sometimes. Rei sighed and went back to his thoughts.

Another up side to Kai changing back to normal would be that Kai would be safer. He can take care of himself when he goes off on his own. Sure, Rei would still be worried about the boy, but at least he would know that Kai could defend himself. With Kai as a child, he didn't have that same comfort. When Kai had been kidnapped by that guy at the airport...

Rei shuddered. He didn't want to think of that. He still wanted to kill the guy, but his relief over powered his anger. Kai hadn't been hurt badly. Just a small bruise on his cheek, which that man would pay for if Rei ever saw him again.

The down side to Kai turning back would be he wouldn't need to depend on Rei for anything. He wouldn't fall into a situation where he needed Rei to come and save him.

"Argh, this is frustrating." Rei sighed to himself, running his hands over his eyes and through his hair. He glanced at the alarm clock on the small table beside the bed. It was 12:47 am. Just a few minutes later than last time a spell had been cast on Kai. He looked over at the boy, sighing low as he saw a child still asleep.

Rei looked back at the ceiling, feeling upset yet relieved. A part of him wanted him back, yet the other part wanted the child.

"Stupid emotions. Now I know why Kai hates them so much." he mumbled to himself.

Re sighed quietly before he closed his eyes to at least attempt to get some sleep. If he didn't, he was going to be pretty tired tomorrow and tomorrow he was planning on making them all train. With Kai being a child, they had slacked off a lot and the tournament was only a couple days away. A small whimper quickly shattered any chance of sleep.

Rei looked over at Kai, frowning as he noticed the small child thrashing around, whimpering every once in a while. He stood up and walked to the bed, kneeling down so he could see the child's face.

He looked scared as he clutched at his shirt and pants and occasionally the sheets on the bed. What was he dreaming about?

"Kai?" Rei whispered, shaking the child slightly.

"No...please, don't." Kai begged, trying to roll away from Rei.

"Kai, wake up." Rei whispered, a little louder than before. He flinched when Kai yelped, his head going to the side like he had been hit.

"I'm sorry!" Kai apologized, whimpering and biting his lip to hold back another small yelp.

"Kai! Wake up!" Rei said, picking the child up and rocking him slightly.

Kai's eyes snapped open. He looked up at Rei and screamed, trying to push away from the older boy.

"Kai, shh, it's just me, Rei." Rei soothed, rubbing his back. "Calm down, you're ok."

Kai calmed down and he clutched at Rei's shirt, burying his tear streaked face in Rei's chest. His body trembled as he cried and he tried to hide in Rei's chest and arms.

"Calm down." Rei whispered, sitting on the floor and leaning his back against the bed. He pulled Kai away slightly and wiped the tears still on the boys face. "Are you ok now?" he asked when the child's sobbing slowed down.

Kai nodded slightly, grabbing one of Rei's hands and keeping it to his face. He sniffled a few times and leaned back against Rei, closing his eyes to try and get back to sleep. Even if he couldn't fall asleep, he would at least pretend. He didn't want to talk about his dream. Not right now anyway.

Rei sighed. He could tell that Kai wasn't asleep, but he decided not to question him. He stood up and carried the "sleeping" child to his bed, laying down beside him. Kai buried his face in Rei's chest, determined not to let him go.

Rei kept his eye on the child in his arms. There was no way he would be getting any sleep tonight.
