Of Traitors and Thieves

Chapter Ten - Things that Go Bump In the Night

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

Rei tilted his head. He thought it looked like a flower…a really, really warped flower with human reproductive organs. Max thought it looked like an alien. Just an alien. Kai thought it looked like the backside of a Rhinoceros with a face painted on it, but he wasn't gonna tell Tyson that. Kenny was having a fit.

"So guys, whatta you think? Is it good?"

The Bladebreakers looked at each other, a faint amusement and confusion present in their faces.

"Well," Kai said slowly, trying his very best to be diplomatic. "It certainly has…originality…and…ah what the fuck. What exactly IS it, Tyson?"

Tyson stared blankly at Kai.

"Wow, Kai, you're pretty dumb aren't you?" he laughed, looking at the others who, in turn, looked at Kai and started to laugh faintly.

"Don't laugh!" cried Kai, feeling a little embarrassed. "They don't know what it is, either," he stated, shuffling his feet.

"Guys! It's a boat!"

…

"A boat?" now it was Kai's turn to laugh, and he did so. Very loudly. Max joined in and Kenny sat up from the floor, looking bemused.

"Tyson, I'm sure you included many artistic and…uh…original concepts, but that is NOT a boat," he decided quickly, but when Tyson walked round to the painting and turned it ninety degrees, they all stopped laughing. "It's a boat."

"Yup."

"Yeah, I can see it now."

"That's…pretty good, Tyson…"

"Thanks!"

Kai sat up bolt straight when he heard the noise. He didn't know where it had come from, but the fact that it had roused him from his sleep at about one in the morning was not a good sign. It had definitely come from outside, and, sliding silently from the bed, he padded over to the door of the cabin that his team were staying in for a few weeks and put his ear to the door, listening. There it was again! The faint scuffling of someone or something out there.

Suddenly, he felt something brush past him and he jumped, but a hand over his mouth prevented him from crying out. Staring into the darkness he saw the familiar tint of golden eyes and he relaxed, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Rei, what are you doing up?"

"What are YOU doing up?"

"I heard a noise…"

"Me too," Rei smiled at Kai and leaned up, kissing the tip of his nose. Kai smiled and pressed their lips together gently before pulling away.

"It's coming from outside," he said, motioning towards the door.

"Maybe we should check- KAI! THERE'S SOMEONE AT THE WINDOW!" Rei clung to Kai's arm, hiding behind him, his eyes shut tight as Kai spun to look at the window. There was nothing there now. Grabbing a rolling pin (I'm figuring they aren't gonna have baseball bats…) he led Rei back to the door.

"Ready, love?"

Rei shook his head but released his grip on Kai's arm. They heard the scuffling sound again and Rei's breath caught in his throat. Kai heard this and held out his hand, closing it around Rei's when the smaller boy slipped his hand into Kai's, silently hoping just to see a deer or a fox when they opened the door.

Kai put his hand on the door handle and slowly pushed it down. The scuffling from outside stopped, and Kai knew that whatever was out there knew that they were opening the door. Taking in a deep breath and raising the hand with the rolling pin, he swung the door open.

"ARGH!" was the unanimous yell from the six boys.

Kai stared at them.

"What are you doing here?!" he yelled, dropping the rolling pin. Johnny grinned sheepishly.

"We heard you were staying here so we decided we'd come visit you, but we got lost. We were planning on getting here early evening…guess not, huh?"

There was silence, then they all jumped again as Kenny, Max and Tyson burst out of the bedroom, the latter two clutching their blades.

"What is it? What's going on?" Tyson yelled, looking around, his eyes finally resting on Kai, Rei and the four 'guests'. "The Majestics? What are YOU doing here?"

"We came to visit," replied Oliver, handing Kai a picnic basket. "And we brought food." He smiled as Tyson jumped Kai, grabbing the basket and running back to the bedroom. "Knew that would get us a warm reception," he stated as Enrique and Robert walked past Kai and into the cabin.

"What was all the yelling about?" asked Kenny, coming out from his hiding place behind Max and eyeing the others suspiciously.

"We…" started Kai.

"Got a little…" continued Rei.

"Scared?" finished Kenny. The Majestics and the two Bladebreakers nodded in unison. "Right."

Okay, I know that chapter was quite short, but I'm adding some more chapters later today. It's just, the next one is gonna be longer than my others (I hope!) and I didn't want to add it on to this one for fear that I may be spoiling you *wink* Haha. Anyways, looks forward to an update later today!
