Hopefully the title is a good indication of what this fic is X3 Enjoy!
It's so peaceful.
This is just what Kai needs. No teammates complaining to him. No reporters chasing him. No deranged fans trying to rip off his clothing. And definitely no Tyson whining in his ear every five minutes about how hungry he is.
Nope. None of that. Just a peaceful afternoon in a secluded park, laying in the soft green grass under a Spanish sky.
Hopping on his private jet and flying to Spain on a desperate whim to get away from his teammates is probably the best thing Kai has ever done. Thank the heavens above for that jet. The best investment he's ever under taken. He should buy a couple more in case of an emergency.
Like when it's Tyson's turn to cook. That's a desperate situation indeed. He just has to make sure Ray or Max doesn't find out about his trips. They'll beg him if they can come too.
Laying on his back on the luscious green grass, Kai stares up at the endless blue sky. It's beautiful, the sky above. It really, truly is. The color blue reminds him of something, but he can't quite put his finger on it.
He also can't quite recall why, out of all the destinations he could have chosen, he chose Spain. Sure, it's a beautiful place with it's beautiful beaches and snow runs, in some case a mere fifteen minutes away from each other. But he feels that deep inside he didn't choose this country just because it's beautiful, there's something else. Something unfamiliar, but not entirely unnerving.
It's something he is unable to get his head around. There isn't anyone he can really talk to. He wouldn't dream of talking to his Japanese teammates about it. He'd rather avoid that embarrassment. The same with the Blitz boys; they're like brothers to him. Older, protective brothers who would immediately think that there's someone bothering him and try to 'sort it out'.
'Sort it out' in Blitzkrieg terms means hunting someone down and beating the crap out of them.
Hmm…they're kinda like a mini mafia, aren't they? Only more dangerous.
Rolling over onto his side Kai is unable to quell a chuckle from leaving his lips as a image of Tala, Spencer and Bryan wearing black suits with dark sunglasses roughing someone up. Those three are often mistaken for being Kai's bodyguards when they're out together.
Not that it bothers Spencer too much. It annoys Tala a little, being the captain of the group. But it does tend to thoroughly get up Bryan's nose though.
"Bodyguard?" he would yell. "He doesn't need any damn bodyguard!"
So true. There has been a few cases where a body guard was assigned to protect him from a rabid fan. However, Kai was the one who ended up getting rid of the fan, after scaring the poor hired hulk half to death with her insane bouts of dribble about how they're destined to be.
The security agency refused to lend any more professional guardians to Kai after they lost a few more men when they retired from stress of handling the fans. They just don't make bodyguards like they use to.
A light tug on the end of Kai's long, silky scarf surprises him. Immediately, Kai sits up straight and looks around, his eyes narrowing with the suspicion that someone is messing around with him. He feels another almost unnoticeable tug and quickly looks down, at the long material sitting gently on the grass that has this white and gray thing nibbling at the very end.
Kai blinks his ruby eyes, not knowing whether to feel amusement, confusion or just plain annoyance. There, gnawing on the end of his scarf like it's the only thing eatable left on earth is a small gray and white bunny rabbit. It's no bigger than the palm of his hand, so it's clear it's only a baby. And how it doesn't seem to be too afraid of him tells Kai that it's most likely someone's pet.
What's it doing all the way out in the park by itself? Eating his scarf, no less?
Quickly, so he doesn't give the baby rabbit a chance to escape, Kai scoops the little fluff ball into his hands, bringing it up to his face so he can glare at it, nose to cutely twitching nose.
"Where the hell did you come from?" Kai asks the little rodent, not exactly expecting an answer. The little bunny simply stares back with its baby blue eyes, its nose and whiskers still twitching adorably.
Kai feels a little irate with this bunny. He has every right to be. After all, this domesticated rodent just ruined his favorite scarf. The end looks like it went through a shredder of some kind. How can his scarf float elegantly in the wind now that it looks like Tyson took a bite out of it?
Honestly, hasn't anyone being feeding this little guy? Surely, there are more nutritious and yummy things other than his scarf to eat, isn't there?
The rabbit in his hands suddenly perks up a little, it's long white ears twitching, seeming searching for the location of a noise Kai can't quite hear yet. Then, just as quickly, the little baby suddenly begins to squirm in his grip, wriggling itself free, only to hide under the offending scarf, hiding from something.
Kai so desperately wants to feel annoyed, to feel irritated. But the bunny looks so cute hiding behind him in his scarf like that, and it quickly melts away all his reserve.
Not many people know this -ok, no one knows this- but Kai has a weakness for cute baby animals. Kittens, puppies, you name it. Especially big cat cubs. He doesn't go hyper and coo over them, thank goodness. He has far too much self-control for that. But they do make him melt inside.
It hits him like an unexplainable shiver of warmth. If that makes any sense.
Thinking back to his pervious thoughts, Kai wonders about this little one's owner. Where the hell is he or she? How dare they leave such a little baby rabbit out in the park all by itself? This is animal neglect, dammit! It can easily be killed by some abusive little punk, or a stray dog could eat it.
It's time to find this rabbit's owner and give him or her a piece of his mind.
Nodding his head sharply to himself, Kai scoops the rabbit back into his arms, taking off his destroyed scarf and wrapping it around the little bunny. This rabbit might as well have it now. It's no good to him anymore.
Turning around, Kai heads towards the rock pathway that will lead him through the park, but stops dead in his tracks. There, lingering near the path is this ugly looking bull dog with its bottom jaw overlapping the top. A long and jagged scar over one of its eyes, giving him a tough dog look. It seems to have this twitching in its eye, giving Kai an evil look as it snarls and slobbers all over itself.
It's not a very cute dog. It's a short, but stout little pug like thing.
It looks quite comical, if only it isn't snarling and growing at him like it wants to eat him. Or maybe its after the bunny? Maybe that's why the little guy hid moments earlier.
See! If he wasn't here, this little guy would be dead by now.
With a weary and heavy sigh, Kai rolls his eyes skyward and delivers a swift kick to the dog's head, knocking it away. "I don't have time to deal with you right now."
The dog staggers on its feet for a moment, looking amusingly like its either drunk or in a daze. It then shakes its head abruptly, looking around at its surroundings with its beady little eyes. It gives a sudden snort, and Kai prepares himself for an attack, but instead the dog simply sticks its nose into the air and meanders off.
With another roll of his eyes, Kai shakes his head and continues down the path. He's not entirely sure where he should begin looking for his new found friend's owner. It could be anyone!
Suddenly, hurrying out from a thick line of trees, a certain blonde hair Spaniard appears, his large blue eyes looking a little frantic. "I can't believe those kids let him out," he mutters to himself.
Kai tilts his head to the side, perplex expression on his face and a shimmer of concern in his eyes. "Miguel?" he says.
Hearing his name, Miguel snaps his head to his left, his gaze immediately colliding with Kai's, the same look of confusion in his own eyes and his blinks slowly. "Kai?" he says, tilting his head to the side as well.
If concern and confusion isn't Kai's main focus at the moment, he might have thought that the Spanish blader looks adorable at the moment.
Hmm, strange… He only thinks that way about baby animals…
"What's wrong?" Kai asks. "You look frantic."
The fearful look returns to Miguel's gaze as he opens his mouth to reply. Suddenly, the small, but lively package in Kai's hands begins to wiggle and a small white and gray head with twitching whiskers pops out over the silky material of Kai's battered scarf.
"Bugsy," Miguel sighs with utter relief as he momentarily forgets who he's talking to and takes the small bundle into his arms. He cradles the little one against his chest as he pats the rabbit's head, his stunning blue eyes softening.
A warm shiver races through Kai's body at the sight, but he doesn't pay any mind to it.
"Bugsy?" Kai asks, the corner of his mouth twitching into a smile as he gazes upon Miguel with a sense of amusement in his eyes.
A light blush appears on Miguel's cheeks as he gives a bashful smile, suddenly remembering that Kai is here as well. "I didn't name him. My young neighbors wanted to call him that."
"Ah," Kai says, his eyes softening considerably. "I see. He's your pet, then?" he asks, frowning a little when he realizes that he might have to scowl the blonde for letting his pet get away.
Inwardly, he hopes he doesn't have to.
Miguel continues to hold the bunny against his chest. "Kinda," he replies, his shy smile still gracing his lips, looking a little awestruck that the great Kai Hiwatari is talking to him. "I live next door to an orphanage and they sometimes look after him. To help them become more responsible, you know?"
Kai nods, but raises an eyebrow towards his hairline. "It looks like someone forgot their responsibility," he points out, trying to sound stern, but falls short as he has a smile on his face.
"It appears so."
Kai continues to smile softly. "Then, maybe we should take the little guy home and feed him?"
A light blush shimmers across Miguel's features as he bashfully places a hand behind his head and playfully sticks his tongue out. "Right," he says. He turns to leave, but pauses, waiting to see if Kai will accompany him.
Kai blinks for a moment, confusion in his eyes. "Something wrong?"
"You said 'we'," Miguel points out, a smile on his lips. "I was just assuming you were coming as well."
Thinking back, Kai realizes that Miguel is right and nods his consent, moving to walk beside Miguel. It wouldn't hurt. He's in no hurry in getting back to Japan just yet. As they walk in a comfortable silence, Kai watches from the corner of his eye and suddenly realizes has the same feeling he gets when a cute little kitten does something adorable.
Kai has a fondness for baby animals. Could he possibly have a fondness for sexy but shy Spanish heartthrobs? Or just this one in particular?
"So, um," Miguel fidgets for a moment. "What brings you here?"
This originally was going to be a oneshot, but why not drag the fluff out a bit more?
Please review.
