Chapter 11 - Old friends.

Rei smiled `the white tigers are going!?' he hadn't seen his old friends in ages, Kai smiled as well, he would get to see his old friends as well, this was going to be great!

The Bladebreakers were all in a good mood, even Kai!

They were getting ready for the evening ahead, picking out what they wanted to wear and so on.

`Tyson! You can't wear that! Mr. D said to dress smart! And you look like you've lived in a Garbage can for the past 5 years! Now change!' Max said angrily as he saw his friend wearing his tatty jeans and a baggy shirt (which was covered in mud naturally) Tyson groaned, `Yes mom' he replied sarcastically, causing Max to give a very Kai-like glare.

After a lot of compromising, Max had finally managed to pick a more suitable outfit for Tyson, a black shirt and dark blue jeans.

Kai and Rei were doing the same; Rei was trying to convince Kai not to wear his face paint to the party.

`Come on Kai, just for one night? Please? No-ones ever seen what a pretty face you've got!'

`For the last time Rei NO! Me not wearing them is like you cutting your hair off! It's a part of me, and my identity.'

`…. One night? Please…for me?' Rei used his secret weapon, his adorable pout and teary eyes.

`Rei, don't give me that look…Rei stop it…' Rei made his lip start to quiver,

`Please Kai…' he said in the cutest voice he could.

`No…Rei stop it…oh fine! I'll think about it.' Rei smiled and happily hugged his lover and kissed him on the cheek, `Yay!! Thank you Koi!' Kai looked sternly at his lover, `I said I'd think about it! So don't get you're hopes up.' Rei grinned `Oh Kai, everyone knows that `I'll think about it', is translation for `yes'' Before Kai could reply Rei grabbed his clothes and ran into the bathroom to change.

About 20 minutes later, Rei came out, Kai looked over and felt his mouth go dry.

Rei had his hair tied back in the same style as always, with a similar bandana to his usual one, only this one was dark blue, he wore a dark-blue, short-sleeved shirt and black jeans, on his wrist was a silver watch.

`Well? What do you think?' Rei asked spinning around slowly so Kai could see him properly, When he saw the expression on Kai's face he felt nervous, `…Kai?'

Kai couldn't contain himself, he jumped off the bed and pinned Rei against the wall and kissed him passionately, `God you look hot…' This surprised Rei, Kai wasn't usually so dominant in this department.

Kai was about to kiss him again, but Rei stopped him, Kai looked worried and Rei gave him a reassuring smile, `Even though I want us to stand here snogging each other, you have to get changed! We have to leave in half an hour so I want you to be ready!'

He gave Kai a peck on the cheek and walked out the room, leaving Kai to get ready.

Rei walked into the living room to see the others already changed and ready to go, `Hey guys, ready to go already?' the others smiled.

`Hell yeah! We can't wait to go! By the way, you look great! And where's Kai?'

`Thanks, and Kai's getting changed.'

`Ahhhh I see, did you manage to persuade him not to wear his face paint?' Max asked,

`I think I might of twisted his arm, he said he'd `think about it'' Rei gave a cheeky smile, causing the others to giggle, `you've sure wrapped him round your little finger haven't you Rei? Managing to part him with his beloved face paint! Must of taken a hell of a lot of persuasion!'

Rei laughed, `No, not really, just my trusty secret weapon…' Max looked intrigued, `And what was that then?' Rei pulled his adorable teary-eyed face.

The others laughed, `Awww, well no wonder, who could say no to that face?' Rei smiled evilly, `Exactly…' this caused the boys to laugh harder, Tyson spoke `But seriously, I wonder what Kai actually looks like without the face-paint, I can't picture him without it…' the others nodded in agreement, and tried to picture their captain without his trademark face paint.

They were brought out of their thoughts by a familiar deep voice, `Ok, is everyone ready to go?' they all spun round and they all felt their jaws drop at the sight before them.

It was Kai, wearing a short-sleeve, crimson shirt, which enhanced his strikingly beautiful eyes, black jeans and black trainers, on his wrist he wore a silver chain, the cuts on his wrist had pretty much gone and were un-noticeable.

Most importantly, his trademark blue face-paint was no-where to be seen.

Kai got uncomfortable with them all staring at him, `What?' he asked nervously, he covered his cheeks with his hands, `it's my face isn't it? I look weird without them don't I? I'm going to quickly put some on' he was about to turn to leave, but Rei went and caught him by the arm, `oh no you don't! I'm not letting you cover your face up when it looks as good as this!'

Kai struggled against Rei's hold, `Rei I don't like it, I look weird, everyone's gonna stare at me, please just let me go put some on!'

The others were stunned by Kai's paranoia and insecurity,

`Kai, since when have you cared about your appearance? Or what anybody thought of you?' Tyson asked, Kai blushed, which they all thought looked so cute, `I don't! I would just rather not walk around looking like an ass!' Kai said defensibly.

They all smiled, `Well you don't look like an ass, so come on! Were going to be late! Oh yeah, Kai, are you taking your camera?'

Kai shook his head, `wasn't planning to, but if you want I can?' Rei smiled, `would you? It's just you're the only one with a digi-cam and I would like some photos'

Kai nodded and left the room, Rei shouted up `and no face paint!'

The others watched Kai leave the room.

`You are one lucky dude Rei…' Tyson said, putting his hand on his shoulder, `I aint gay, but I have to say he looks pretty damn fine!'

Rei smiled, `I know I am, but its more than just looks I'm lucky for, and by the way, incase you secretly are gay, hands off! He's all mine!' they all laughed.

A short while later, the five members of the Bladebreakers arrived at a very large, luxurious looking house,

`Hey driver dude? I thought we were going to a party?' Tyson asked the driver, whom Mr. Dickinson had sent to pick them up.

`You are sir, Mr. Dickinson is holding it in his home.' he informed the young boy, `whoa…Mr. D used his house for the whole reunion thing? Must have a huge house, there's a hell of a lot of people to fit in!'

When the car stopped, they all got out, and saw Mr. Dickinson waiting for them outside the front door.

He gave them his usual cheery smile, `good evening boys! I'm glad you've finally arrived, everyone else is already here!'

They all smiled back `Thanks for the invite Mr. D!' Tyson said for the team, Mr. Dickinson nodded `Pleasure!' he looked over at Kai,

`I must say your looking very well Kai, much better! How are you feeling?'

Kai rubbed his arm and looked at the floor blushing, he didn't like people asking him that question, it embarrassed him, `I'm fine…' he said quietly, they all watched this, Rei thought it was sweet that Kai was so timid, especially when most people assumed he was some sort of tough guy.

Mr. Dickinson gestured for them to go inside, as they did, they heard familiar voices, lots of familiar voices, they all stepped into a huge room, a crowd of familiar people greeted them with large smiles, even the Demolition Boys.

They walked in, and walked towards the White Tiger team, Rei couldn't hold his excitement `Guys!!! It's been so long! Its so good to see you again!' he embraced them all one by one, they all smiled, `and its good to see you too Rei,' said Lee, Tyson sarcastically groans `ooooh? What about us?' Lee laughed, as did the rest of the team, `Good to see you too Tyson, and you guys, Kenny, Max, Kai how you doin'?'

Kai was shocked he included him as well.

Mariah also stepped forward and hugged them all, `It's been so long since we last saw you!' she finally came to Kai, and Kai's shock grew as she embraced him as well, `Wow Kai! I've always wondered what you looked like without those tattoo things…' she nodded in approval, `looking good…smell good too'

Kai laughed at her remark, he was amazed they were being nice to him, after all that he'd done to them.

The team moved on to the Majestics, Tyson saw his prime target to direct his annoyance towards, `JOHNNNNNNNY!!!!!!' he shouted and jumped on the poor boy, `Ahhhh! Tyson get off! It's good to see you too, but please get the hell off!'

The others laughed, `I see Tyson still likes to degrade himself?' Robert asked light-heartedly, Max nodded `oh yes…' again, they greeted the rest of the team, and again, they all treated Kai the same as the rest of them, `Whoa Kai, I almost didn't recognize you there! Wow you look so different without those face-paint things.' Said Oliver as he hugged him as well, the others nodded in agreement, and Kai blushed slightly and smiled.

They talked with the Majestics for a while and then moved to the next team, The All-Stars, `Mum!!' Max said happily and ran to his mother, A young women with blonde-hair and blue eyes turned around to greet her son, `Maxie! I'm so happy to see you! How are you doing?' Max grinned from ear to ear `I'm doing great!' the rest of the team appeared behind them, as did the all-stars behind Judy, all but one anyway.

`Hey guys! Good to see you again!' Tyson said to the three men behind Judy, the others smiled their greetings, Michael spoke `Well, if it aint the Bladebreakers, great to see you after such a long time! How are you all? Hey Kai, I always wondered what you looked like without the-' Kai cut in smiling `face-paint things?' they all smiled, `I suppose you've had a lot of that already?' he asked him, Kai looked at him, he wasn't used to them being so nice to him, `could say that…' he said quickly, the team laughed. `So where's Emily?' Max asked, `Oh she'll be out in a moment, she's just making a phone-call'

The All-Stars shook hands with each of them (including Kai) and walked away, Kai felt a smile grow across his face, he knew who was coming next, he was finally going to see his friends.

Rei saw this and felt a warmth flow through him when he saw Kai smile for obvious reasons, it was good to see Kai so happy and excited for once.

But Kai's smile soon vanished when he heard Tyson say, `Right, on with the party!'

Kai felt his heart sink, `But Tyson, we haven't gone to see the Demolition Boys yet!'

Tyson, Max and Kenny looked at him confused, `Kai, you hate them, why would you want to see them? And to be honest they're not our favorite people either.' Kai looked blankly at them, he was going to have to tell them, `Guys, I don't hate them, truth is they are some of my closest friends.' He saw their shocked faces, but it was too much to explain now,

`I'll explain later, but please believe me, they really are good people, and they have their reasons for doing what they did, as do I for doing what I did, so please don't hate them, they've been so good to me and-' he was talking so fast they could hardly make out what he was saying,

`Hey Kai! Calm down! We trust you're judgment, and we have forgiven them, as we have you, and if you say they are good friends of yours, then they are ours as well, ok?' Max said reassuringly, and Kai smiled.

Just then, `KAI!!'

Kai turned around to see a red-haired boy, which owned the voice that called his name, along side him where the figures of Bryan, Ian and Spencer.

`Tala!!' Kai said, and ran to him and hugged him furiously and they spoke to each other in Russian, so the rest of the Bladebreakers watched in fascination as their captain smiled and laughed with the Russian team.

`He sure is comfortable around them isn't he, I've never seen him laugh like that before.' Max added as he saw Tala ruffle Kai's hair and laugh as he saw the look of mock annoyance on Kai's face.

`Wonder why he's not like that with us?' Tyson wondered, Rei knew the answer, but felt it wasn't his place to explain, `Lets just say that they share a bond that no-one could ever replace, they've been through so much together and pretty much grown up together.' Rei said.

Before more questions were asked, the Demolition Boys carefully approached the Bladebreakers, as though they would kill them any second, Tala stepped forward `H-hey guys…how are you all…?' he asked nervously, they hadn't seen them since the whole Russia incident, and didn't know if they had forgiven them.

They all smiled warmly and Tyson was the first on the scene, `Tala! Good to see you!' he hugged the surprised boy, and then did the same with the other team members.

After they had all greeted each other, Rei said to Ian `Is it me or do you look a hell of a lot taller?' Ian was about to answer when Tala made a remark in Russian, which made Kai, Spencer and Bryan laugh hysterically, and Ian's face burn red with annoyance.

That's not funny! Ian said irritated,

Kai stopped laughing, He's right…they looked at him confused,

…What IS funny is that you like T.A.T.U! Tala, Bryan and Spencer laughed hard at Kai's remark, they didn't really have a problem with Ian's taste in music, they knew it touched a nerve with him, and made him very mad…which is what was funny.

They laughed harder as Ian's face burned more red and glared at Kai, Kai stopped laughing and stepped forward, embracing his friend and mockingly rocked him back and forth, `awww my little malish, I'm sorry, I was only playing, can you ever forgive me?' he spoke in a surprisingly Russian accent.

The Bladebreakers joined in with the D boys, laughing at Kai's little gesture.

They're laughter soon stopped though.

`Well well, if it isn't traitors united!' came a female voice, they all turned around to see Emily standing there with an evil smirk on her face, `I'm surprised you all had the guts to show your faces round here, especially when everyone hates you…' she said it loud enough for everybody to hear, the room fell silent, Michael and Judy came forward, `Emily, that's enough…' Judy said sternly, but Emily ignored her and turned to Mr. Dickinson, `I don't see why you had to invite them' she gestured to the Demolition Boys, `especially after all the trouble they put all of us through, and as for the Bladebreakers, well couldn't they have just left that freak at home?' she said harshly pointing at Kai, `It's not as if he talks anyway, and its not like anyone wants to talk to him either, especially not after everything he's done.'

`Emily, for god's sake shut your trap and just enjoy the party, we didn't come here to fight! And besides, everyone's forgiven and forgotten about what happened so will you just drop it already?' Michael said.

The Bladebreakers were getting angry; they didn't take to kindly to some girl insulting their friends.

`Ok!' she said in a sickeningly innocent voice, `So Kai…' everyone knew what was about to be said wouldn't be nice, she smirked `how's your Grandfather?' Kai stiffened, why was she bringing all this back up?

`I don't have anything to do with him anymore.' Emily smirked `Well, it's a shame you didn't do the same before…' Kai was getting annoyed,

`Look, we made a mistake and were sorry, we tried to make it right again, and we've paid for it dearly, you have no idea what we risked to try and put things right!'

`Awww! Poor you! The guilt-trip may have worked on these guys, but it won't on me! You haven't changed, all five of you are still just cold, heartless bastards, especially you Kai!'

Kai kept a calm composure, but inside, it hurt that she had singled him out.

`Emily for fuck's sake shut up!' Eddy yelled.

`Yeah Emily, you don't know what you're talking about! They have changed! And they're all sorry for what they did and we all have forgiven them and moved on, as a result Kai has become closer to all of us, so I won't have you speak to him in that way!' Tyson shouted.

Kai looked at him, he felt a sense of comfort and protection from his small group of friends.

`Oh whatever Tyson! If you want to befriend a total psycho then go ahead! Say Kai, does insanity run in the family or something? I mean there's your grandfather, and then theirs you… Christ I'd hate to think about what your parents are like!' she laughed nastily.

Kai felt something within him snap; no way did she just insult his parents. He saw red, rage filled him, he stepped forward, `Kai…!' Tala tried to get him to calm him but it was too late.

Kai walked quickly in front of her and slapped her very hard across the face, almost knocking the girl over, but he wasn't finished yet, he grabbed her hard by the throat and slammed her against the wall, tightening his grip on her neck,

`NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU FUCKING SLUT! YOU SAY WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT ABOUT ME, I DON'T CARE, BUT IF A WORD EVER ESCAPES YOUR VISCIOUS, POISONOUS MOUTH ABOUT MY PARENTS AGAIN, I SWEAR TO GOT I'LL SLIT YOUR THROAT, GOT IT!?'

Emily was beyond scared; Kai's hand was to tight around her neck to reply, Michael put his hand on his shoulder, `Kai man, I know she deserves this' he glared at Emily, `But put her down, she can't breathe!'

Kai released his grip on her and stormed out the room.

FINISHED! Jeez, that took forever! Sorry it's so long everybody! And my apologies to Emily fans, I'm sure she's not that nasty!

And Malish supposedly means Baby.

So anyway, what do you think? This isn't the end of the party, or of Emily's wrath! Or something else! I just really needed to stop!

Please Review!! I live off them! PLEASE!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!!

Thank you kindly….

Until next time!

Ciao!
