My Only One

-Prologue-

Two days before Christmas, and a few weeks before the beyblading competition.

It was a nice quiet day in the city of Moscow. The beyblading teams were re-exploring Moscow and the citizens of Moscow were bustling around buying their last minute Christmas gifts. Everyone was in the Christmas spirits. Excluding a certain member from a certain beyblading team; Tyson was sweating his butt off and was dead tired from earlier tasks, as he trained in the backyard of the Hiwatari Manor. He somehow managed to change Kai's mind from not training for three days, to working your guts out on the day before Christmas.

It all started with the usual morning, where one of the Bladebreakers would somehow try to wake Tyson, it was a habit so they did it every single day even if it was a day off from practice. Then Tyson would scream from whatever treatment he got, stopping when his stomach growls, then he would rush down to the kitchen and scream out for food. Max would skip into the kitchen laughing at Tyson, Kenny would come in shaking his head, at the way those two acted; holding Dizzy. Usually Rei would be smiling but as he walked in to the kitchen and started making breakfast, he was frowning. After breakfast that was when the real 'fun' for Tyson started.

……

Tyson stood there grinning like an idiot as he saw Kai's motorcycle being transported through the Hiwatari Manor's front gate, by the delivery guy from the repair shop.

"Hey, it is our day off...so why not have some fun!" grinned Tyson. So off he went to grab some toilet paper and some eggs, grinning like a mad man.

……

"Tyson what are you doing?" came a suspicious voice.

"Oh, nothing my dear team captain!"

Kai's eyes narrowed as he watched Tyson's retreating back, letting him off instead of pestering him he left for the door wanting to see his prized beauty sitting in the driveway all new and shined up.

"…TYSON!"

……

Tyson grinned as he stalked to his room, hearing Kai shout out his name. He passed by Rei's room seeing the nice fluffy pillows he asked Kai for since his body hurt badly from the curiosity to explore the forest he found behind the manor.

Tyson grinned again, he saw Rei's little stuffed tiger toy sitting comfortably on a fluffy pillow.

"Let's have a pillow fight Mr. Tiger!"

……

Rei was grumbling quietly as he walked to his room. He had finally finished cleaning up the breakfast dishes and Tyson's mess that he had made when he was eating breakfast. He was in a very emotional mood right now, so all he wanted was to go take a hot shower and curl up on his bed, enjoying the rest of the day. Rei fell to the floor as he screamed. Fate was against him again, someone had vandalized his room…ok, more like his fluffy pillows that smelt like Kai…and his stuffed tiger missing an eye which he also got from Kai for last year's Christmas. He screamed again when he saw his glass tiger figurine in pieces…the one he got from Kai on his birthday.

Rei stood up as small tears started rolling down his cherub cheeks. He turned around to see his teammates running up to him. A pissed Kai glaring at Tyson who had a way too innocent look on his face, Kenny hugging Dizzy to his chest and a hyper Max. Averting his anger from Tyson, Kai turned to face Rei, a hint of worrying etching in his eyes.

"What's wrong Rei?" A sniffling Rei turned around and pointed at his room. "M-my r-r-room."

Everyone turned their heads to see Rei's vandalized room, gasps were heard from Max and Kenny and a growl that was directed at Tyson, who found the wood floors very interesting.

'Wow, I didn't know that this would hurt Rei this much…' thought Tyson.

"Tyson, clean up this mess you've made right now." glared Kai.

"But I didn't even do it!"

"Right, then what's that thing right there?" everyone turned their heads to see Dragoon poking out of a bunch of feathers it was under.

"Eh…"

"While you're at it, take my bike back to the shop, the one you decorated with toilet paper and eggs, and pay for the repairs."

"Why? How do you even know that I did it?" an innocent look crawled onto Tyson's face.

"You think I'm that stupid not to notice that huge word across the toilet paper that you've wrapped around my motorcycle, saying Tyson, and the scratched you made on the new paint job also saying Tyson."

"…"

Kai smirked at Tyson's frowning face. "Finish cleaning Rei's room, and then take my bike back to the shop. You got it Tyson?"

"…" Tyson not wanting to admit defeat fought back, "tch, that's not much of a tough punishment Kai, going soft on me are you? Maybe you thought I wouldn't be able to take on something harder eh? "

Kai hid his amusement as Tyson tried to mock glare him. The rest of the team was staring at the two glared each other, Kai winning by the lot, Rei was giving the occasional sniffle with tears still rolling down his cheeks.

"Fine then, found a way to take my bike back to the shop and pay for the repairs, all by yourself AND with your OWN money, and then clean up Rei's room ALL by yourself. After that, give me 20 laps around the manor, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 50 chin-ups. IF you finish before the end of today, you maybe can have the rest of it off, if not, your own problem."

Turning to the remaining three, he ordered, "Kenny, Max go back to what you were doing and Rei…" a pause as he stared at the distressed Rei. "Calm down, we'll found a way to fix your tiger figurine and toy, but now, go take a hot long shower… "

All three nodded, with a slight pink tinge on Rei's cheeks. "Also, do Not offer any type of HELP or COMFORT to Tyson." Again all three heads nodded not wanting to have extra training.

"And Tyson, don't bother sneaking off right now." a grumbling Tyson turned back from where he was at the end of the hallway and walked back to the group. "I will know if you are slacking or not, this should not take continue to the next day...if you aren't lazy. Now all four of you go, now."

Kenny and Max, walked off, continuing the conversation they had started earlier. Tyson sulked off to begin his punishment and Rei still sniffling, walked to his room.

'Ugh, so much for a peaceful day.' Thought Kai, as he watched Rei retreating to his feathered room.

…….

Christmas Eve.

It was a hour before midnight, Rei was curled on a sofa with a blanket around staring at the Christmas tree as the fireplace burned brightly; drinking hot chocolate. He had a nice peaceful day; since Tyson slept for half of it and didn't even do any thing that he would usually do when he woke up, not wanting Kai to punish him more.

Rei was freezing no matter how the room was all warm. He couldn't sleep at all, He kept on replaying to himself what happened with Kai and him, making him feel warm.

…Flashback…

Rei was sniffling as he brushed his long raven hair; he already missed seeing his stuffed toy perked up on Kai's fluffy pillows and his figurine sitting on his dresser table. As he finished brushing his hair he heard a knock, he stood up to answer it seeing it was Kai holding something behind his back.

"Sniff, hi Kai, sniff."

"Hn."

Rei stood aside as he let Kai into his room; curiosity had taken over his sniffling as he wanted to see what Kai was holding behind his back. He closed the door and turned around seeing amused and some what of a pissed Kai.

"Tyson hasn't been here yet."

"He isn't back yet I think."

Kai scoffed, "he's in the kitchen pigging his face out."

"Really?"

"He found out that he didn't have to pay for the repairs, so he thinks he's let off." Before Rei could as any questions, Kai continued, "I don't need bankrupt bladers on my team." Rei was sitting on his bed now, and Kai not far sitting in the armchair.

"So…what's that you got?" Kai smirked knowing that Rei would ask this sooner or later.

"A little tiger I picked up." Kai walked to Rei's bed.

Rei's eyes widened as he saw his stuffed tiger, not blind anymore, in Kai's hands. He grabbed it and started hugging it like crazy.

"Though…I couldn't do anything about your glass figurine." Rei looked up from hugging his stuffed tiger and stared at Kai, all of a sudden Rei was crying again wetting the toy. He didn't know if he was crying because he couldn't see his figurine anymore or that Kai had fixed his tiger and tried to fix his figurine. Or that he was crying for everything, he was in very emotional mood today.

"Kai?" hearing no response, Rei thought that Kai had already left and he started to cry more. His breath hitched as he felt to arms wrap around his waist and pulling him onto the person's lap.

"Shh, it's ok Rei, I know you're having an emotional day, just relax everything will be fine, we'll try to fix whatever's wrong." Comforted Kai as he laid his head on top of Rei's.

Rei's crying slowed down as Kai comforted him, but while he was being comforted his inner turmoil got huger. They stayed in that position until Rei fell asleep.

'Kai can never fix my problems…well my family ones.'

…End Flashback…

Rei smiled at the memory, it was something he would hold dear for the rest of his life, the first time that he was so close to Kai. Though he kept on thinking that Kai was mad at him, for he didn't see him for the rest of the day. Then his mood darkened as he remembered why he was so emotional yesterday.

'Why did their letter have to come so soon, they could've sent it after the year was over. It was very considerate of them to remind me how little –'

A cough interrupted his thoughts, turning around he saw an amused Kai leaning against the wall, with his arms crossed across his chest.

"What?"

"Rei, if trees could feel your glare, it would've, by now shriveled up; and I don't think we want a distressed Tyson crying over his dead tree."

"Wha?"

Kai chuckled, "Rei your glaring daggers at the tree!"

"…" a puzzled Rei stared at Kai.

Shaking his head, Kai muttered a quick never mind, and pushed himself off the wall, making a beeline for the door. Rei shaking himself out of his stupor yelled,

"Wait, Kai…I have to tell you something." Kai stopped in his tracks and turned to Rei.

"Yea?"

"Well…um…I'm sorry about yesterday and its ok if you're mad at me because of what happened and…"

Kai smiled softly at Rei, he walked and sat next to him on the sofa.

"It's ok and what makes you think I'm mad at you?"

"…um...because I didn't see you again until this morning…so I thought you were ignoring me or something…"

"Rei it's ok."

"Really?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you that after you apologized to me yesterday before you decided to fall asleep?"

"Oh…eh…but are you mad at me…"

"Tell me a reason why I should be mad."

"Um…'

"Knew it, that's it right?" Rei nodded. Kai moved to the den door again but was interrupted again by Rei.

"Thanks Kai." Kai stood there in the doorway, looking up he saw all the decorations that Tyson had asked his grandpa to send over since he found out there were none in the Hiwatari Manor. There was one decoration catching his eye the most that had caused Rei to be shyer around him than before. The only time he wasn't shy was when he was in his mood swings.

"Hn…Rei…remember last Christmas Eve?"

"…um…" Rei of coursed remembered it was last Christmas Eve that his feelings for Kai got stronger. "…sure?"

"Hn… I know you remember Rei." Rei blushed a million shades of red.

"Remember how Tyson and Max were supposed to be in bed, and how they sneaked out of their rooms, hoping to see Santa Clause." Rei didn't reply.

"They were 15 years last year and still so naïve." A pause. "They're 16 now and still naïve and childish, if even possible, more."

'Something's wrong with Kai, he's more talkative than usual, even with me.' Rei thought, still blushing. Ignoring Rei's silence as embarrassment, Kai continued on.

"Remember, how Tyson and Max wanted to see Santa so badly that you asked me to dress up as Santa for them? I didn't want to, but what can you do when you have your whole team against you? Though Tyson and Max had no clue at all what you and Kenny wanted me to do." Chuckled Kai, Rei hearing it couldn't help chuckle a bit too.

Rei felt Kai sit next to him on the sofa, tensing when he felt Kai breathe on his ear.

"Do you remember Rei, how Max and Tyson tried to sneak down the dojo's stairs to get to the den, but knowing Tyson, he was bound to hit something sooner or later."

Rei gulped he wasn't liking what was happening right now, even if it did feel nice, he especially didn't like the tone of Kai's voice right now. Kai was now playing with Rei's hair, it took everything out of Rei, to try and not moan. Of course he moaned anyways making Kai smirk.

"Hn…do you remember how you couldn't sleep that night, so you decided to curl up on the couch in the dojo's den. God knows why you couldn't sleep, you said you couldn't but didn't give us a reason…it's like why your up and awake right now."

Rei tried to squirm away from Kai, but Kai had wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him close. One arm behind and around his shoulders and one around his waist, Rei was totally stuck.

"Rei, you haven't answered anything yet." Rei stayed silent.

"Hn, fine, how 'bout, do you remember how Tyson screamed; Oh my god Max, Look Rei's kissing Santa Clause."

Rei's mouth went dry. 'Kai's mocking me…I think. It wasn't my fault; I didn't know I was sitting under mistletoe.' He turned to face Kai, wanting to 'demand' to Kai what he was doing. That was a bad thing… in a good way; for Kai had cupped on of Rei's cheeks and stroked it softly.

"Do you remember Rei? Tell me do you? Don't bother hiding anything; I know more about you than you know." All Rei could do was nod, his voice had disappeared on him.

Kai kissed Rei lightly on the lips, gave him a hug before stood up. "Rei, I will help you, I know what's happening with you and your family. Merry Christmas, my dear kitten." And with that Kai left leaving Rei speechless and drained emotionally and physically. Soon enough he fell asleep on the couch, knowing he'll wake up from Tyson's shouting and will have to face Kai sooner or later.

……

Dear Rei:

How are you my dear son? Your papa has gotten worse than before, he wishes you were right here right now. This is not the reason why I am writing this letter just to tell you that your papa is ill. Hah, you know how ill he is, and remember he does not know of our little bargain.

I am sure you know what this letter is about as soon as you opened it and read the first sentence that your dear mama has written to remind you about the deal. Rei, need I remind you that there is half a year left for you to find a suitable wife? I am absolutely sure that you are keeping track of all the time that has flown by.

You have yet written back to me, since your departure of our village. I have seen you on television, for the last two Beyblade World Championships and it seems like you have forgotten about me but apparently not your papa. I have seen the letters you asked Lee to deliver and read to him privately and for sure I know that you have not tried your hardest to find a wife, but no matter, I have changed our deal a bit. The remaining 6 months will pass by fast, so you may come back without a wife…on one condition, marry Mao. Do consider please.

-Yours Truly,

Your loving mama.

Rei's replay:

Dear 'mama':

I do not know if I should still call you that, for you have not been a very good mama since pap fell ill. –laughs- you have no clue, I have not only been writing to pap but I have written to YOU also but you see, I only send papa's. For this letter too, you will never read.

I am writing this to tell you that I will NOT accept this new part added to the deal. Now, I am telling you what I should have told the day I left or even before.

One, Mao loves me like a brother, she has her eyes on Lee, and in fact they're going out! Two, I am gay, you know what you read, it's not a hallucination. There is nothing else to say.

-Rei

……To Be Continued……

So how was it? Tell me if it was good or not. Point out any mistakes if you want. So that means to review…if you want…I guess. -.-

And sorry if the characters were a bit too OOC.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a happy new year!
