After telling Xing Han his biggest secret, Kyle felt like a huge weight had been taken off his shoulders. The best thing was, he now had someone to talk to about it, other than Kay. Xing Han could give him a perspective that Kay never could: from a boy's point of view.

Was telling Sam and Ali about his past life needed?

"Yes, it shaped me and it's a part of me," Kyle agreed, "But knowing it doesn't change who I am, fundamentally."

"I agree that it's a tough question to answer. There's no right or wrong about it, I suppose," Xing Han finally said, "Just go with the flow."

Kyle laughed a bit at that.

"Like with you, today? You certainly side-swiped me with that question," Kyle revealed, "I thought you were going to ask me why I always had that far-away look in my face at times."

"Yes, which reminds me. Why DO you have that far-away look in your eyes most of the time?" Xing Han asked, quickly grabbing onto it, "Remember, the oath is still in effect."

Kyle rolled his eyes, "You're really digging deep, aren't you?"

"Oh come on," Xing Han protested, "After telling me all about your past life, do you honestly think there's anything you can say that will shock me now?"

Kyle shrugged, "Perhaps."

"Pffffft," Xing Han said, waving his hands.

"I'm usually like that when I'm thinking hard about my plans ... or, when I'm talking telepathically with Kay," Kyle said while Xing Han was still going 'pfffft'.

"Pff... ... ... " Xing Han was sitting there, his mouth wide open and Kyle could imagine the ellipses forming above his head.

"Okay, I take that back," Xing Han replied, "Next thing you're going to tell me, you can feel it when the other is in danger."

Kyle looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Wait ..." Xing Han said, "NO."

Kyle nodded, "More like, we can feel each other's feelings."

"So let me get this straight. You're a reincarnated soul with two kids, a sex addict, has a mental and emotional link with your twin, high IQ, super-rich in your own right, drop-dead gorgeous, owner and leader of a secret organisation ... what's next? A martial arts expert?!"

Kyle rubbed the back of his neck, "About that ..."

Xing Han got up, flinging his hands in the air, "THAT'S IT! I'm not talking to you anymore! You! You!!"

"And I resent the sex addict label," Kyle replied, getting up and facing Xing Han, "I'm still a virgin in this life, you know."

"So ... do you prefer guys or girls?" Xing Han asked, sitting back down, "I mean, you were a girl and even had kids but now, you're a guy ... and your packaging is quite impressive, too."

It was a question that would be on anyone's mind if they heard Kyle's situation.* Maybe not the packaging part, though ...

Kyle shrugged, sitting back down as well.

"At this moment, it's too early to tell," Kyle said, "I am not repulsed or sexually attracted to either gender. If push comes to shove, I know I can certainly do it with a girl."

"Eh? How do you know?" Xing Han asked in surprise.

"Since Kyle Jr would rise to the occasion when I kissed girls before," Kyle mumbled.

Xing Han stared at him then said, "I am so glad I know all these things about you. You won't be hiding all these good stuff from me ever again, right?"

Xing Han was over the moon at this point. The fact that he now knew all these things about Kyle, Kyle wasn't being careful or hiding anything from him anymore. His fear of losing his BFF had gone completely.

He found it really fascinating about Kyle's past life as a married woman. He now had the best source of information right in front of him. All the sort of questions he had, Kyle most likely knew the answer. Especially about the most elusive thing on Earth: women.

No. Wait. Sex! And kissing! Xing Han rubbed his hands eagerly.

"You're not against kissing guys then?" Xing Han asked seriously, his mind churning with questions.

"Why should I be? I've only kissed guys before in my past life," Kyle replied, "If there was a problem, it would have been whether or not I could kiss girls."

"Since I've already tested that out, it's not an issue," Kyle said, "And I figure I can easily kiss guys as well."

"Well, kissing is one thing but do you think you can actually go all the way with a girl?" Xing Han asked.

Kyle shrugged, "I dunno. I've only gone as far as kissing and ..."

Flashes of Samantha successfully making Kyle Jr not only rise up, but ... leak ... Kyle shook his head to get rid of that memory.

"When I think about it, I guess I'm bisexual? If I was straight, then it would mean I would prefer guys in this life, right? I may be a guy physically but my soul is of a girl. Or maybe I'm leaning more towards girls because I've grown up as a guy and think like a guy now?" Kyle said, thinking out loud.

"So, the bottom line is, you have absolutely no problem with kissing a guy, right?" Xing Han said eagerly.

"What's with these questions?" Kyle asked suspiciously, "What has my sexuality or ability to kiss girls - or guys - got to do with anything?"

"Nothing, really. I'm just curious ..." Xing Han started to say then grinned.

"Actually," he said, as he got closer to Kyle, "Well, you're experienced in all this kissing and sex stuff, right?"

"Y-eeess, I suppose. Compared to you," Kyle replied, leaning back. Xing Han was having that look on his face that usually spelled trouble.

Or stupid ideas.

"And you know I'm the 'hands-on' type of learner," Xing Han said with a smile.

"So?"

"So, I want you to teach me how to kiss."
