Kiss me Deadly

Dragonblade: Hate me yet?

Kurai: *Hides behind Dragonblade* Umm ...long time no update I know ...these last two chapters have been written out, they just haven\'t been typed out. Um ...UBER pissy Rei, like, he\'s acting like a cat who\'s been abandoned by his owner and then the owner attmepts to come back.

Dragonblade: Review? I\'ve just been trying to tie up loose ends before I start anything new. Like, the sequel to this and my Weiss Kreuz fic, so all I have to do is finish the epilogue for my YuGiOh fic, which hates me about as much as I hate it.

EDIT: I love my BETA *snuggles*, I just got her e-mail back so I was editing what she suggested. Love ya B!

Chapter 10

Rei was able to escape Max’s clutches long enough to scamper out of the pool and up onto the deck with Mizuhara-san, hoping that she would help him with her imposing matron abilities if they attempted to ambush him again.

He laid his towel out on the deck and stretched out, leering down at a pouting Max.

The cordless phone on the railing next to Max’s mother rang loudly, startling the two on the porch.

Rei peekd up through his long damp bangs when she answered the phone.

“Mizuhara household.”

Rei’s sensitive ears picked up on the vibrations of a masculine voice.

“Yes? Oh! We’d be glad too! I know my Maxie would love to see you.”

He would? And what would we be glad to do? Rei wondered, watching the blonde woman.

Mizuhara chuckled and said good-bye before disconnecting.

“Who was that mama?” Max asked, balancing on the edge of the diving board.

“That was Michael, he invited us all out to dinner.”

“w00t!” Max cheered, confusing his computer illiterate friends.

“You boys better go shower then, he wants us to meet him at seven!”

Dizzi cleared her metaphorical throat, “how many bathrooms?”

“Not enough.”


A turf war over the bathrooms ensued immediately. The house only possessed three and a half baths, and one of those was off limits, since it belonged to Max\'s mother--which left the odds a five to two.

“Rei uses up too much water! He should go last!” Takao pointed out.

“It’s my house!” Max exclaimed.

Unison, “so?”

“This argument is a waste of time. So, seeing as though I take the least amount of time in the shower, I’ll go while the rest of you battle it out!” Kai crossed his arms over his broad chest.

The battle finally ended with Kai and Kyou winning the bathrooms first. Then the bathrooms were handed over to Max and Takao, and finally to Rei (Max offered to help wash his hair because he felt bad about making Rei wait the longest).

Dangerously close to 7:00 the boys were FINALLY all assembled in the sitting room.

“Mama!” Max called when he saw the blonde woman walking down the stairs fixing her earrings.

She grabbed her purse and headed out the door, the troop of bladers behind her.

Dizzi whined and argued about being left behind and promised an earful to Kyo as soon as she was booted back up.


Michael, as well as Eddy, met the ex-BBA outside of the restaurant. Their table was reserved out on the patio.
It was a warm night, making it perfect weather to sit outside.
The patio was shaded by a handful of lush green oak trees that were strung with small white Christmas lights.
There were few others out on the patio, making for a nice silent dinner.

Or so they thought.

They all sat down and immediately hushed excited whispers sounded from the table next to theirs. The girls at the next table had recognized them.

Michael, being the ladies man of the group, turned and smiled at the table of girls. Which of course, sent them into an uproar. The petit waitress interrupted the beginning conversations by taking the male’s orders, Mizuhara-san was almost giggling too hard to order.

The initial attention had different effects on the occupants. Michael, Max, Eddy, and Takao utterly loved the female attention. Kyoujyu was extremely nervous, still the typical shy technician. Rei was slightly intrigued that they were recognized and Kai just straight out didn’t care.

The girls were brought their dinners and the conversation was put on a momentary hiatus.

Rei’s chin was in his palm while the index of his other hand traced the ring of his water glass. Kai watched him with piercing red eyes, following the path of the long digit. He was seated next to Rei, which made it easier for him to tease the Chinese male. His leg closest to Rei spread out, his knee bumping the Mau’s. Rei barely noticed, being used to quick and accidental touches from all his companions. Kai’s hand dropped down as he lounged in the restaurant patio chair, ‘accidentally’ brushing Rei’s thigh. This touch startled the raven-haired youth. Kai’s fingers danced lightly along Rei’s thigh, sending shivers through the Mau’s entire body.

Kai quickly straightened himself when their food was brought. Rei’s cheeks were stained with a light pink blush for most of the meal.

After they ate the ex-bladers met the group of girls outside of the restaurant. Mizuhara-san smiled knowingly and went to wait for them in the van, Kyo quickly followed.

One of the females, a busty blonde, wrapped herself around Kai’s arm. The hair on the back of Rei’s neck rose and he quickly swallowed down a growl. Kai attempted not to glare at the genki female and decided to play this just to see how Rei would react.
Immediately another girl latched on to Kai’s other side, both girls openly flirting.

The remainder of the girls were draped over the other males, whom of which enjoyed the attention.

The blonde hanging off of Kai’s arm became more courageous and started playing with the collar of his opened dress-shirt.

Rei noticeably bristled.

A tall brunette slid up next to Rei, her arm slinking around his.

“Don’t touch me,” Rei growled.

The girl jumped back startled, “excuse me?”

“I do not appreciate attention from gold diggers!” He snapped.

Everyone spun around violently to stare in disbelief at the Chinese male.

“What the hell!?” She screeched.

“If we weren’t famous I highly doubt you and your friends would have given a flying fuck!”

“R-Rei!” Michael stammered, staring wide-eyed at the normally quiet Asian.

Max’s mouth dropped open, “Rei!” He turned to Eddy who was looking confused, “he never swears! Something’s wrong!”

“What!” The Mau barked.

Kai glared heatedly at Rei, “watch it Kon.”

“Where the hell do you come off telling ME to watch it! You’re the one who knows all about gold diggers and you’re letting these whores hang all over you!” He swung his arms out wide to indicate all the girls.

The blonde that was previously hanging off of Kai walked calmly up to Rei and slapped him.

Hard.

She turned, her nose in the air, and left. Her friends following suit.

No one knew what to do. Rei had NEVER acted so violently towards another human being. He seemed a little more than just concerned about the well being of his friends.

Rei’s chest heaved in his rage, he spun on his heel and stormed off towards the van.

Kai caught up to Rei as he was about to open the sliding van door.

He grabbed his arm and yanked him around, “what crawled up your ass cat?”

Rei pulled his arm from Kai’s grip, “absolutely nothing!” He turned sharply, threw open the door and climbed into the van without giving Kai a second thought.

The entire drive back to the Mizuhara household was spent in silence. Kyo was glad he had followed Max’s mother to the vehicle instead of staying with his companions. He had only heard raised voices, but the murderous glare Rei was sending out the window told him that something very bad had happened. Something he didn’t want to get involved with because he was sure it would include bodily harm.

“What’s wrong with Rei?” Takao leaned over to quietly whisper to Kai.

“PMS,” Kai answered dryly, not amused.

It was dark once they reached the house, the motion sensor lights came on as soon as the van pulled into the driveway.

Max was the first one out of the van, skipping up to unlock the front door.

“Is he going to be like that all night?” Kyouji asked.

“No, once his head hits the pillow he’ll be out like a light,” Max’s mother answered.

The house was dark when everyone entered and they were careful not to trip over one another.

“Night boys!” Mizuhara-san waved over her shoulder as she kicked off her shoes and went up to her bedroom, leaving the five boys to do as they pleased. Hoping they wouldn’t destroy her house.

“Rei,” Takao cautiously started.

“What!?” Rei sighed in exasperation.

“What happened after dinner, why did you freak like that?”

Kai grumbled, he could sense a long and irritating fight coming on and would rather not be a part of it. He completely ignored the others as he made his way up to the guest room.

“Why the hell do you care?” Rei snapped.

Takao drew back in shock, becoming irritated, “why would I care? Because you are my friend dumb-ass!”

“Friend!? If you were my friend then you wouldn’t be draped all over Kai the way you are!” Rei clamped his hands over his mouth as soon as he realized what he said.

“Whoa …since when does Kai belong to you? He’s my friend as well and if this little crush of yours is the reason why you are acting like a god damned bitch in heat then grow up Rei!”

Rei snapped, without thinking he lashed out a Takao, his fist connecting with the other male’s jaw. Takao was lucky he was bigger than Rei, or else the force would have knocked him flat out.

He rotated his jaw and hit back, landing a fist to Rei’s gut.

The two continued on like that, landing hits randomly.

Max and Kyoujyu watched on in fear and panic. Neither of them being big enough or strong enough to effectively pull the two apart.

Rei growled and side-stepped a rather aggressive punch, lashing out with his index and middle finger to catch Takao under the eye.

“Kai!” Kyou hissed suddenly.

“What?” Max turned, his hands clenching his shirt in his anxiety.

“Get Kai!”

Max needed no further encouraging; he darted up the stairs and burst into the guest room. Kai flew up off of the bed, swearing as he almost fell in his shock.

“Kai! Kai! Rei and Takao are fighting! You have to stop them!” Max said in one breath.

Kai swore in Russian and bolted out of the bed, he pulled on the pants he was previously wearing and followed Max back down the stairs.

There he found Takao and Rei attempting to turn each other into a bloody pulp. Stepping between the two immediately, he only received a slash to the shoulder from Rei before he grabbed the two and threw them to the floor.

“That’s ENOUGH!” He barked.

Both fighters froze, splayed out on the floor.

“You!” He pointed to Takao, “take the bathroom downstairs and clean yourself up.” He next pointed to Rei, “you take the upstairs bathroom and cool the fuck down! Next get your god damn asses in your respective guest rooms and stay there! If I have to break you two apart again I WILL be breaking something!”

Both bladers obeyed, fearing the Russian …with good reason of course.

When Kai intended to join Rei in the guest room he was instead met with a faceful of blankets. A pillow was soon added to the pile.

“What the fuck Kon?” He cursed around his armful.

“If you don’t mind you can sleep on the couch!” The irritated Mau responded.

“Well actually, I do mind!” Kai growled.

“Well isn’t that just too bad,” Rei turned and slammed the door.

Kai had enough wits about himself to not break down the door and seriously teach the cat a lesson …too many witnesses.

“You alright Kai?” Takao asked timidly, Kyo peeking over his shoulder.

“Just fine,” Kai answered through gritted teeth.

“You wanna sleep in here tonight?” Takao offered.

“No thanks, I’ll just sleep on the couch.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, I’ll be fine.”

Takao looked uncertain, “if you’re sure …but if you chance your mind, the doors open.

Kai grunted and headed down the stairs to the living room.

He set himself up on the couch; rightly pissed about the fact that Rei had the nerve to kick him out of the guest room, especially after the stunt he pulled early that night.

His mind whirled as he plotted against the Chinese male. His original game was thrown out the window due to Rei’s possessive and jealous behavior. Rei verbally attacking the girls he could handle, but physically attacking another of his own teammates was something completely different!

He stretched out, his hands resting under his head.

Kai had created a plan incase something such as this happened, although he never actually thought he would need it.

Humans were too unpredictable.

He didn’t like that.

Kurai: *Hides*

Dragonblade: Yeah, review and let me now how much you thought this sucked. Rei is acting like the cat he is, so please keep that in mind.
