The Red Queen was raging, spinning uncontrollably and taking heads off with her howling, mad laughter.

She was growing stronger and with each day, growing wilder as well. She needed to be stopped, but no one dared.

So the White Rabbit cooked up a plan.

. . .

Sucking. Moaning. Licking. Rush breathing. Bites. Groans. Bed screeching, muffled screams, Some futile attempts of incoherent words - and is that Tala begging?

"Not going to enter? your hand is already on the doorknob, though." Rei heard the amusing, malicious voice of the Falcon behind him. His fingers tightened around the handle.

"When did they start seeing each other?"

"Seeing each other?" Bryan blinked, and then snorted. "They're not dating."

"Then why are they.. wait, Is..is that... mutual..?" Rei mouthed carefully. The thought that crossed his mind was less than pleasant and very disturbing. Somewhat disturbingly likely, in a twisted sort-of sense considering Kai's ..less-than tolerant personality — but highly disturbing nonetheless.

Bryan's eyebrows knitted together. "Mutual..? yeah, I guess.. wait.." His icy-lavender eyes widened suddenly. "What, you thought Hiwatari was raping him? so nice to know you trust your friend so fucking much. Oh, don't get me wrong, being Kai's teammate a few times I can understand where this is coming from, but still..." The Demon smirked and Rei looked aside, feeling ashamed for his treacherous thoughts. Kai wouldn't actually force himself on anyone. Maybe if he's drunk enough, or frustrated (or maybe if he snaps, if it's to break someones neck —like beating up Takao or Daichi for being loud and obnoxious) but not like this. Never like this.

Kai and Tala were doing it. It was mutual; so they both agreedto it? They weren't dating though. So why..?

"..Are you jealous?"

And then he was staring back at Bryan, determined gaze like a feline ready for the hunt. The Falcon's smirk dropped. Rei spoke with a practical detached tone of an interrogator, keeping the blank expression, but his voice had a hard edge to it.

"When exactly did they became fuck-bodies?"

Bryan eyed him narrowly, answering with the same practical tone and bored face. "Dunno. Sometime after he returned to Russia with us, I guess. Maybe even before. Tala always had hard time accepting Kai's bad habit of wandering off into the night without asking or telling anyone. You know," He smirked again. "He may seem like the cold-hearted wolf outside but inside he's like a little puppy — he really cares for his teammates, and you know Hiwatari isn't exactly a team-player—"

"How?" Rei bit-back, cutting off Bryan's rambling.

Bryan stopped and stared, Looking into these big, glowing golden eyes of the Cat. He tried to decided what surprised him more; that the Nekojin had the guts to cut him off, or that Rei actuary sounded so bitter and hostile about all this.

How? you mean Why, Kon.

Instead, the Falcon grinned wickedly and leaned in, breathing in Rei's face, whispering into his lips. "You're just dying to know that, aren't you?"

It was Rei's turn to smirk.

"Curiosity killed the cat."

Bryan wasn't grinning anymore. "The Cat's still alive." he didn't back-off.

Rei wasn't grinning anymore either. "Curiosity was too weak." he breathed back in accusing, sharp note. He could have just said 'curiosity wasn't strong enough'. It would've seem safer too. But he didn't. He chose the words 'too weak' on purpose.

Kuznetsov, was really starting to piss him off.

"It's a dangerous game to play, Kon."

"A dangerous game which you started."

"K-kai-ngh-"

Rei grimaced at the sound.

"Are you disgusted?" Bryan mused grinning wickedly, leaning back (much to Rei's sense of comfort). "You lived in remote village on the mountains, hidden from the modern world right? this place must be pretty old-fashioned and traditional. I bet you were taught that relationships must consist between men and women only. Did they teach you that sex between two men is a sin?" the light-haired leaned in again. "Or you yourself fucked a few m-"

"And how do you know how I lived?" Rei spat furiously, grabbing Bryan's collar. He knew nothing of how lived in that village. Nothing. "You have no say in it, growing up in that rotten place you called Abbey with all those lowlife calling themselves Beyblade-trainers and Borkov, teaching you to be frauds and killers. Knowing places like these the only sex you could possibly get was at some filthy, underground cellar with dirty old sc—"

In matter of seconds his back was shoved powerfully against the door —enough to make a loud thud. The hand above his head struck flat against the wooden surface and Bryan's other hand -the one that was in his pocket mere moments ago- grabbed tightly around his throat. The Falcon glared at him furiously, breathing hard with hatred filled eyes as cold as ice and lethal as a sharp daggers. That frozen, raging look on his face told the raven-haired that if Bryan wanted -really wanted- he could easily kill him in cold blood.

"Watch it, Rei." Bryan hissed, tightening his grip. "It's a very, very thin line to cross." He breathed quietly in the Tiger's ear. The raven-haired clutched at the Falcon's iron-grip with his own fingers. That little speech that made Bryan snap (and that he probably shouldn't have said) was said with one intake-outtake of air and without thinking since he was so irritated at the Russian that just cut-off his airway, and now he was struggling with the lack of air.

He choked. He couldn't breath.

"Who's there?"

Rei's froze mid-struggle, eyes snapping open. Bryan's body went rigid, eye narrowing.

"Che." The Falcon spat and moving his hand from the Cat's throat he grabbed his collar and pulled Rei (who flinched at the brutal show of force and took a big, deep intake of air into his lungs) from the door a little, parting his lips to warn him to keep quiet — when Rei heard the doorknob squeak and Bryan saw it beginning to turn.

Golden & violet pairs of eyes instantly widened.

Inside the room, hazy set of ice-blue eyes watched the crack between the mahogany bedroom door and the doorpost as he pushed it open. For a moment he just stood there watching the long hallway with nothing but his boxers loose around his waist, looking left and right with bored and slightly annoyed expression, then shut it close and turned back inside the room.

"Who was it?" Kai asked edgily as Tala wabbled back to the king-sized bed the other was lying on. Kai was leaning on the headboard naked as the day he was born and a thin blanket crumpled at his feet. Tala dropped on the edge of the bed and toppled over, exhaustion radiating from him. Sweat covered his body and his flaming red hair, usually set up as two horns was wet and slide down to his shoulders.

"No one I could see." The red-haired sighed face into the bed sheets, wrinkling his nose at the smell of an after-sex. "Fuck. This is the first time I was so scared in a while. And it's not even anything life-threatening!" On any normal circumstances this kind of smell could be a turn-on, but after that little trip to the door, heart beating rapidly being filled with fear of them getting discovered when they suddenly heard that noise... well, he wasn't in the mood any more.

Kai was the same. They were so engaged in their activity that they didn't hear when someone was at the door. Whoever it was didn't knock at first, but he (or she) probably stood by the door hearing everything and accidentally made a noise to give themselves away and made a run for it when Tala spoke up.

That, Or they just happen to pass by and bumped in the door. Or the bastard just tried to scare the shit out off them. And they succeeded, whichever one it was.

"Maybe later." Kai released a deep sigh of relief, getting up from the bed and begun taking out clean clothes from the closet. "We better get cleaned up and dressed." If someone heard them doing it he wants to know who. Now.

"Don't say 'cleaned up', it sounds dirty." Tala moaned and got up too, pulling to remove the stained sheets. Kai, would have he been anyone else would have snorted a laugh at this, instead he just snorted;

"Considering the cause, it is dirty."

"...I really, really hope it wasn't Ivan outside.."

Kai stopped and mused. "Ivan? he should be with in tutor's house right now..." he imagined a loud devil laughter, a devil's grin, red blood eyes and a bomb exploding the moment they fall on Kai's bed next time. His eyebrow twitched.

"...He's just a brat, maybe he wouldn't realize what we were doing.." Kai noted, continuing his stroll to the privet bathroom attached to his bedroom.

"Good point." Tala tossed the sheets aside on the basket in the corner for later laundry.

Stop. Stare.

"A brat in size, not age. And he was raised in the Abbey, 'wouldn't realize' my ass."

"Che."

On the other side of the wall of the room, Rei fell down to his knees when Bryan released his iron grip on his chest the moment they heard the door to Kai's bedroom close, gasping with an arm over his mouth. Beside him the Falcon leaned heavily panting on the wall.

"Damn it, that was close. Too close." He slid down the wall and put a hand over his forehead.

He had launched himself -and Rei by the collar- and managed to get inside the next room a mere second before Tala opened his door completely. Pushing the black-haired Cat to the wall with one hand he kept his mouth covered with the other, hoping that Tala hasn't seen the door shut behind them.

They were lucky that the door was unlocked in the first place. It could be one of these suspiciously privet rooms rich people kept locked all the time.

"What's the matter?" A small voice mocked bitterly from beside him, mimicking Bryan's mocking way-of-speech, head bowed and eyes concealed by raven bangs. "Why, are you so scared that they find out you know about them?"

"Idiot. Do you want Kai to know you were there too?" Bryan spat back. He smirked humorless as Rei flinched uncomfortably. "Thought so. But you really like starting fights, do you? pissing me off like that—"

"Starting figh-!" Rei gasped, whipping his head sideways-up, wide eyes glaring with puzzlement and flaring rage. He can't be serious "You're the one who started all this! if you hadn't told me to go 'wake Kai up' and followed me I would never—"

"So you'd rather not knowing?" Bryan inquired quietly, violet eyes observing him, but Rei couldn't read them. He couldn't read him and all he could do was just gaze back bitterly through him black, front chin-length strands. Did Bryan meant well by letting him know of Kai and Tala's 'relationship'? then why act so malicious and hating on him? Rei never actually held grudge against Bryan for trying to finish him along with his Beyblade three and a half years ago. He never declared his eternal hatred toward him; never even thought of getting revenge for all these cuts and scars on his body. And Bryan never sought to try assassinate him a second time. He didn't exactly apologized either, but Rei never sought for a one and didn't plan to.

They've just left each to himself, each to dwell on his own scars, be it external or internal. They didn't associate or talked after that. Ever. Until now, when the unexpected circumstances sent him knocking on Kai's door in his grandfather's estate in Moscow.

'So why now? what does he want from me? he can't have planned this — he couldn't know I'd come here...does he really hate me much that? shouldn't he be past that? he isn't under Borkov's control anymore—'

"I'm getting back down to the guest room before these two get there. You should do the same." The light-haired said suddenly breaking their eye-contact, pushing himself from the wall and walking past Rei to the door. He was just about to open the door when he stopped.

"One more thing." Bryan stepped before Rei and bent down, reaching out his hands. One hand (Rei just now noticed Bryan had his nails painted purple) cupped Rei's cheek while the other went behind his head. His face was close again, and now Rei also noticed that besides the painted nails the Falcon's eyes had a more greyish, silver shade to the pale violet.

He yelped at the firm tag on his head and all of a sudden the white bandages keeping his hair wrapped floated around him, his black, long traces free from their confinement falling on his shoulders like silk.

Bryan got up, walked to the window, opened it and let the white cloth-wrappings fly outside. Being it the second floor of an overly large house It disappeared out the window like a white snake riding the wind.

"Better fix yourself first. Wouldn't want anyone to think something happened, now would we."

And with that he was gone from the room for good.

No, thought Rei mindlessly after a minute or so, slowly rising to his feet as the wind from the open window lightly breezed on his hair. I can't read him at all.

He didn't get out immediately. He just stood there, staring expressionlessly at the wall.

'Wouldn't want anyone to think something happened, now would we.'

He crouched down on his knees, taking deep breaths with an arm over his mouth, stifling his voice.

"...You have no idea.."

The last thing I've uploaded was so long ago I've forgotten how I hate the editing page of the site -_-. Anyway, like said above, expect slow updates, and does anyone have an idea for a name for this story?

P.s: writing Bryan seemed easy at first, but then I realized it wasn't and that he might seem kind of OOC in this fic. Tell me. Was he? he has like three diffrenet persnalities or something. I know Rei snapping was a bit OOC, it's planned.

P.s 2: I edited the chapter with few major changes and fixes.
