Disclaimer: I never owned Kai, Rei, nor the rest of the series. They are owned by their respective owners and was used without permission. Keep in mind that this fic was made for entertainment only.

Warning: This fic is shounen- ai, and it features, Kai/Rei. So, if you don't like the pairing, then go. Don't look further more, because I don't want to be flame by people that will say this pairing was awful.

Note: Hello, minna! Its me, Cornet, and this is my first ever fic wrote in ff.net. So please bear with me. I'm not good as you may think, so sorry if it isn't good. If you want to help me with my construction, I would appreciate it.

Anyway, this fic is all about my favorite couple: Kai/Rei! They are so cute that I was attempt to write a fic about them! This idea suddenly appeared in mind after seeing Rei's red bandana (Not the hair band; the bandana he tied on his cloth).

You'll learn about it as soon as this story progress (which, I'm hoping for^^). And before I forgot, some description might make you confuse but this were got from the Bakuten shoot: Beyblade 2002 and some G Revolution ^____^. So, that's it! I'll end up this blabbering!

Red Bandana

Chapter One: Warmth

At that time, the only thing that was in Kai's mind is to run and escape to the eyes of the soldiers who kept on following him wherever he goes. He seems to be so worth that they kept on eyeing him and he wasn't so comfortable in that way.

"Follow him!" Shouted the guard, seems like the leader of the group. "We shouldn't be deceived by such kid like him!" he continued as the soldiers became doubled one by one. They goes to every corner, until all of them were gone. Leaving all the gray headed boy behind.

He continued to run, glad that the guards never saw him. A smile appeared on his pale face once again. He was already far from those stupid jerks who kept searching on him.

By now, Kai doesn't care how heavy his breathe was nor the injury he got while he hide a while ago, though it still hurt that he could feel the blood gushes over his pants.

'But that doesn't matter anyway,' he thought to himself, erasing every thoughts he have. 'The matter is I'm free and standing in the world I never saw'

Minutes later, he was already standing in front of the lake. He stared at it at the moment, and took a deep breath. He then decided to sit at the grassy place and thought of watching the lake flows.

He rest his injured leg on the grass while he moved the other near his chest. He carelessly laid and put his arms behind his head, closing his eyes peacefully. Not minding the danger he was in. All he think by now is to rest for all the exhausted work he did today. He was also a man, so a little bit of sleep won't mind.

"A peaceful place, an indanger world..." the gray headed boy muttered to himself, as he smirk. "Perfect..." he trailed. He was about to take his peaceful sleep when suddenly, he heard a voice from a kid, or a boy rather. 'Who's that?' He asked to himself irritatingly, and decided to look from the source. Sitting once again.

As soon as he open his eyes, he was already caught by the cheerful kid sitting right beside him. Smile wore on his face. "Hi~!" the boy greeted cheerfully, giving Kai the best smile he had. "May I ask what are you doing in front of the lake?" he asked innocently, making him blink.

The eight year old look at the boy in front of him and rolled his eyes judgingly. He could say that he was not born nor live in Russia by the way he cloth. His clothes were like Chinese outfit.

A white Chinese-style dress tied in a red bandana, and a pair of black pants. Matching his mahogany shoes. His hair was tied strangely with a red bandana as well, and a shoulder length pigtail covered with white cloth. Maybe, to support his hair from loosing.

Kai sighed and was about to close his eyes when suddenly, the boy touched his injured leg, which he forgotten already. He groaned and thrust the boy's hand away from his leg and hug it against his chest. "What do you want?!" He shouted angrily, closing his eyes. "I'm not interested in playing with you!"

He thought that it might scare the boy, but he didn't care. He tried to mess up, so he needs to be shouted. He heard him say sorry, so he decided to cool down. The eight year old opened his eyes and stared at the boy's brown eyes and was so amazed that it didn't show any fear. Instead, he could feel... care.

The boy untied the red bandana that was tied around his white cloth. As soon as it was removed, his well-shaped cloth was already been straightened. Kai blinked and suddenly turned red. 'What did he think his doing? Trying to strip in front of me?!' he thought to himself, as he watched the boy soaked the bandana into the lake, making it wet.

He then squeezed it, making it a little dryer. The raven haired boy neared himself against Kai's leg and wiped it carefully so that he won't get mad. A smile masked on his face once again, and look at the gray headed boy in front of him. His brows were creased, so he laughed just to lighten the mood. "Your injured"

He was so surprised by the sudden care the raven haired boy showed to him, and he felt he was already melted with the feeling he never felt before. He watched him intently, as the boy tied the bandana around his leg. Kai felt the ache is already slowing down, not the same as he had a while ago.

The blush appear on his face once again. "Don't think I'll say thank you" The gray headed boy said coldly, resting his legs comfortably. The boy laughed jokingly, and he stared at him again. "I never said you will," The Chinese boy answered, staring in his crimson eyes. "I did it voluntarily, so why must you care?" he asked.

Kai was caught into his joke once again and this time, he allowed him to have the victory. "Okay, I know" he answered absent-mindedly. He heard him smirk just lately, but it was all gone after he spoke up...

"Arigatou"

His eyes widen, as he stared at him in surprise. Never did someone said those words to him. They usually go beat him with their words that all he know in his life was that he was unwanted. But this boy... he said it to him. Only him.

Kai rewarded the boy a grin. He was already amaze of the boy's attitude that he could feel his cold heart being melted by the heat he felt deep inside. He felt it again.

The boy finally stood up, and this time, he wasn't pushed to go. He decided to go himself. He looked at him quizzically . "Now that I see you smile, and your not hurt anymore... I guess, I should go now" he clarified, just to make it clear to him.

He walked away from Kai, and tried not to look again. But then, he felt an urge that made him to halt. "Ne, kimi..." he trailed and took a deep breath. "May I know what's your... name?"

He stood up in surprise, but he never mind telling it to him. He made his day after all. "My name is... Kai. Hiwatari Kai. And you?" he answered, without hesitation.

The boy smiled again, and look back at him. His brown eyes became clearer than his usual. With that, he left without further notice. He run trying to avoid the question, leaving him all behind.

The gray haired boy was about to follow him, but the smile he flashed on him made him stop. It was kind of a sign... for him, rather. But still, he can't remove in his mind that he was... deceived by a kid like him. Which is... strange because never did someone could make him like that. Never. Is it because of the feeling the boy showed him? The unknown feeling that made him wonder lately?

He sighed feeling defeated, as he rest on his so-called bed once again. He tried to look at the bandana, and shut his eyes close. This day was full of mystery, and the image of the boy he accompanied keeps rolling in his mind. He admit that he was hoping he would go back, and see his smile once again, but never of that wish will happen because an angel like him just come and leave just as soon as it came.

'Yes... he was indeed my angel' Kai said to himself like a 4 year old orphan kid hoping for a mother to come. It was only him that could gave him the feeling he was longing for a long time and he was glad that it was him... It was that boy who fill him...

"Warmth"

"Hiwatari- san," The sensei called out for the fifth time. Never did Kai became this absent minded before, indeed, he was attentive and understand any lesson easily. "Daijoubu des' ka?" she asked worriedly, as he held his shoulder.

Later, he realize that he was already out of his mind. He shook his head and rolled his eyes through out the room. He could see his classmates eyeing him quizzically, and spotted his teacher right in front of him which, had the same worried look like the others have. "Sensei, I'm alright" the gray headed boy said, just to make them feel okay.

The room was filled with sigh, and soon, everything was back to normal. The sensei stood in front of the board once again and continued her lesson while the other students started to be bored, working for their usual job. Sleeping.

Kai became attentive again, and wrote the lecture in his notebook. Well of course, it was neat as the owner itself. After some explanation, the bell rang annoyingly and the sensei arrange all her things. She bid everyone goodbye and the students were back to their usual self once again. Being lively, energetic when it comes to dismissal.

He sighed, as he himself rearranged his things in his leather bag. He stopped when he felt someone was staring. He caught a glimpse of the girl in front of him, as a blush masked on her face. Typical shoujos.

"Ano... Hiwatari- san?" The girl called shyly, as Kai turned to her with those emotionless face. "Try to cheer up, I know there's something behind it. Ja!" She continued, as she rush outside the room. The gray headed teen stood still with his eyes wide. He shook his head once again and put his bag on him and walked outside like the others.

He stared at his red necktie for a moment, and held it tightly. 'that red bandana...' he whispered to himself. 'It makes me remember of the Chinese boy...'
