Hi! It's me again! This time, I decided to do an unusual pairing with Tala, because I just always put him with Rei, Kai, or Bryan. This is a TalaLee fic, and a BryanMariah and KaiRei at the same time. The rating may change, because there are sexual references in the later chapters and I haven't decided what rating they are yet. There isn't actually anything graphic, but it does go on…if you have any ideas about it, let me know! Anyway, on with the fic!


Kai looked up from his book as Rei ran in and slammed the door after himself. His eyebrow raised slightly as the neko-jin bolted and locked the door as well. "Rei, what are you doing?"

"U...M-Mariah's in heat...and..." Rei shuddered. "She...wants me...sort of..." He sat down on the spare bed, recovering. "She just practically jumped me! In the gym! And Kevin was there, and Lee, and that guy out of the All Starz!" He blushed.

"But you don't want her, right?"

"Right. Yeah." There was a knock at the door and Rei froze.

"Who is it and what do you want?" Asked Kai tersely. Rei shook his head desperately, but Kai ignored him.

"Oh, it's just you, Kai... Is Rei in there?" Piped up Mariah's voice.

"No. I haven't seen him since this morning. If you see him, can you tell him to come and see me? It's important."

There was a schluffing of feet padding away and Rei collapsed back on the bed, letting out his breath all at once. "She won't leave me alone now...Kai, can I just stay here for a while? I mean, I know it's your room and everything, but...I don't dare go back out...she'll...she might..." Rei went pale at the thought. "She doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm gay. She thinks I'm being rude on purpose..."

"Okay."

"She'll be psycho now until...until...oh, God, Kai I'm scared! What if she catches me! I don't want to go back out there, Kai, please don't make me!" Rei was beside Kai now, clutching at his arm, panic written all over his face. Kai tugged his arm away. "I said okay. You can stay in here as long as you don't disturb me." He put down his book and looked up at Rei, who had huddled himself into the corner of the bed that was tucked into the corner of the room itself. "Why are you so scared?"

Rei looked at him as if he were asking a stupid question. "Didn't you hear me? She's in heat! She won't leave me alone until she's found someone else to...you know...with! She's already tried to...ugh..." Rei shivered and rubbed his arms. "I just can't stand the feel of her skin! And she's so pink and girly! I don't even like women, let alone stupid little pink girls!"

"Rei?" Rei's eyes went wide and he huddled up further. "Rei, I can hear you! Come out here!" Rei was about to reply when Kai let out the most incredible moaning noise. "Oh, Rei...Rei..." Rei stared at him, totally unnerved, but then he heard Mariah give an angered squeak and understood. He smiled his thanks, and noticed the beginnings of a smirk flickering at the corners of Kai's lips. "So she won't give up on you until she thinks you're taken?" Rei nodded.

"I'm scared of her when she's like this..."

"Then pretend you're with someone."

"But...I'm not..."

"Then lie. What harm can it do?"

"But...I don't like women! Haven't you been listening?"

"Then find a boyfriend."

Rei thought about it. "I don't think I know anyone who'd be willing to pretend to be my boyfriend..."

"I will, if you want."

"You! But...you're not..."

"Not in a relationship right now."

"No, I meant...you're not gay..."

"I'm not? Nice of you to decide on my sexuality for me." Rei gawped.

"You mean-?"

"Yes. I mean that I'm gay. I am a proud, flaming homosexual. Anyway, would it matter if I wasn't? As long as you get rid of Mariah..."


"Rei?" Rei turned, only to find himself the victim of a hungry kiss. Kai had persuaded him to come back to the gym with him. Rei had told him in no uncertain terms that he was playing with fire and that if Mariah tried anything he'd better do something about it, or...or else! With a moan he fastened his arms around Kai's neck, pressing himself as close as he physically could.

"Kai? Did you ever hear about 'getting a room'? 'Cause it might shock you, but no-one here really wants to see you and Rei making out." Said Tala sarcastically, leaning against the wall lazily. There was an offended sniff, and Rei found Mariah beside him, glowering. She hissed and tried to grab him, but Kai stepped in front of Rei, turning his back on Mariah and kissing Rei again. Rei made sure to make the situation VERY clear to Mariah by grabbing Kai's backside and squeezing it hard.

"Hey, pinkie! I think you're barking up the wrong tree with Rei, you know? He's gay!"

"Shut up you Russian freak!"

Tala shot up, angry. "Who are you calling a freak, huh? You're calling me a freak, but you're the one who's following Rei around like he's your master and you're a dog! He's gay! You know, likes hot, sweaty, man on man action?"

"Tala, don't be so disgusting. Just because you're a proud-to-be-gay slut doesn't mean everyone is..." Cut in Bryan.

"It's not my fault if she's in denial!" Sneered Tala. Mariah hissed and stalked over to him, reaching out sharply nailed hands to hit Tala in the face. He ducked beneath her blow and picked her up. During the confusion, Kai dragged Rei out of the gym, stealing a kiss off him in the process.

"Kai? I don't think she's watching..."

"Does she have to be?" Kai leaned in for another kiss but Rei moved away, confused.

"Kai?" Kai stood, arms folded.

"Okay, Rei. I'll only come anywhere near you when Mariah's around. Fair enough." He turned and started to walk away. Rei frowned.

"Kai? Don't walk away..." He ran to catch him up. "Why did you...I thought..."

"You thought?"

"I...do you actually -want- to kiss me?"

Kai shrugged. "I thought that was obvious. But if that's not what you want..."

"No! That is what I want! I mean...um..." Rei blushed furiously. "I..." Kai took advantage of his embarrassment and kissed him again, backing Rei up against a door and pressing against him. They stood there for a while, delighting in the feel of each other's lips, then the door opened.

They fell backwards and Kai landed on top of Rei, driving the air from his lungs. "Uh...Kai? Rei? What...are you doing?" Rei struggled out from beneath Kai and stood up.

"Lee! I...uh...I was, um, well, we were just..."

"He's trying to get rid of Mariah. Not a problem is it?" Kai stood up, dusting himself down. Lee folded his arms, looking faintly amused.

"I don't see Mariah anywhere." Rei blushed harder.

"Uh...uh..."

"If you don't mind, Lee, me and Rei have something to...discuss..."

"Oh, don't let me keep you. Just don't make out against my door again or I'm going to...well, I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it and you won't." He smirked as Kai and Rei vacated his room with shocking speed. "Have a nice discussion, if that's what they're calling it these days..."

He shut the door behind them and laughed.


"GET OFF ME!" Screeched Mariah, kicking and flailing wildly. Tala dropped her and she spun, landing on her feet and hands. She stood up, growling, and lunged at Tala. Bryan stepped in the way and grabbed her by the wrists. "Mariah, calm down!" Mariah hissed and went to bite him, then changed her mind halfway there and kissed him instead. Bryan let go of her and his arms dropped to his sides. Mariah grabbed his backside and tugged him closer, moaning and purring at the same time. Bryan was too shocked to do anything about it, and by that time, Tala had scarpered.

"M-M-" Bryan gasped as Mariah nibbled at his ear.

"Do you know what heat is, Bryan?"

"Uh?"

"Heat. Cats get it. But so do neko-jin." Mariah grabbed Bryan's hands and placed them on her chest. "I want you." Bryan blinked, then moved his hands away.

"I'm not a pervert. And I'm not a slut." He said, slightly unnerved. Mariah hissed.

"Don't refuse me!"

"You're younger than me!" Mariah leapt and fastened her legs around his waist, kissing him fiercely. Bryan wobbled, then overbalanced, falling backwards. Mariah sat on top of him, refusing to let go. Bryan grabbed her shoulders and shoved her back, panting. "W-What are you doing! Stop it!"

"I don't want to!" Mariah snarled. Bryan yelled as she bit into his hand.

"Hey!"

"You're MINE!" Bryan grabbed her and pulled her into his chest, cutting off her vision. She struggled, but then calmed down. "I want you." She repeated, voice muffled. "I want you. You smell good."

Bryan let go of her and she sat up, stroking his chest. "I would say I don't shag people on a first date, but we haven't even had one yet..." He grabbed her hands. "I don't know how you do things like this in China, but in Russia...or at least in the part of Russia -I- come from...basically...I'm not going to sleep with you until I know you better." Mariah whined but Bryan shook his head, sitting up. "I'll see you at seven in the bar, if that's still what you want by then." He pushed her gently off himself and stood up. She looked up at him with pleading eyes but he ignored her, walking out and leaving her alone.


Haya! End of the first chapter! There are four to this fic, and I'll probably post one a day, depending on whether or not anyone reviews.
