Chapter 1: My Eternal Love Song to You
"Thank you Mariah," said Max, " for that wonderful rendition of 'What a Wonderful World'. And now we have...number 5! Okay, which one of you beybladers has the number 5 ticket? Now, don't be shy 'cause there's nothing to be shy about."
Mariah grinned as she stepped down from the platform, smoothing out the crinkles of her dark red halter dress that she topped with a leather jacket. She certainly had not expected this when she had received the invitation for the beybladers reunion party.
It had been, about 5 years since the 2001 and 2002 beyblading champions had seen each other, so Max, Kenny and Takao had taken it upon themselves to get a get together party going. Since they had all, more of less remained in touch with each other, it hadn't been hard to contact most of the beybladers.
All invitation cards that had been sent out had numbers on them, and when their number was called out, they had to perform a song or a skit if the number chosen was made up of two digits; like twelve. So far, the White Tigers, Majestiques, and the All Stars had already sung or performed their skits. Max was the host of the day, while Kenny and Dizzara were in charge of the lighting, sound control and such. Takao was, well, stuffing his face at the table. The only two people left to perform were Kai and Rei.
No one had expected Kai to turn up and was, least to say, surprised to see him there. Apparently, he had thought that there were going to bey-battles, and had only turned up because of that. So there Kai stood, in one dark corner, as unpredictable and antisocial as usual.
Dressed in a tight black turtleneck that hugged the taut muscles of his abdomen that rippled each time Kai moved. The long black sleeves of the turtleneck did nothing but enhanced the graceful movements that Kai managed without noticing. The equally tight dark blue-black leather pants that he wore embraced every curve of his long elegant legs and only made them more enticing. His dark amber eyes were hidden behind reflective ruby lenses and remained as mysterious as when they could be seen. His trademark gray fringe was not as spiked as before, instead, they fell gently in front of his face, hiding his other trademark of blue triangles. His dark blue hair had been grown out to a long smooth ponytail that reached just below his upper thigh. His other trademark, was not wound around his neck as usual, instead, Kai's usual white scarf was hanging from his shoulders around his neck, both ends falling to the front of his person. From where Rei was, he looked like a God in person.
Kai glanced around the room, waiting impatiently, like the others, for the holder of the number five card to step up. His eyes roved round the room, picking out the obvious couples and looking out for the one with the number five card, till they rested on Rei.
Rei's golden eyes stared into the immense darkness of Kai's shades as he felt a hot blush come upon him. He shuddered mentally, as he 'felt' Kai undress him with his eyes. He had certainly not expected Kai to at the party and hadn't really planned to dress up, but he did anyway and he did look good.
Rei, with his long ponytail thrown over his shoulder earned a few good looks that night, even though it wasn't as many as Kai. He was wearing a white sleeveless high collar shirt that framed his lightly muscled body perfectly. His pale alabaster skin giving off a healthy glow which was accented by his off white pants and dark beige sleeveless long coat, made him even more obvious in the darkness.
His normal, graceful, catlike movements not hindered by his coat, Rei took another look at his card and gulped when he realized that he was holding the number five card. Rei looked at Kai again and jumped lightly when he realized that he had been caught staring. Coughing to cover his jitteriness up, Rei smiled wanly as he made his way up to the stage.
"Everyone!" called Max from the stage, as he spotted Rei moving towards the stage, " put your hands together for our second last performer, Kon Rei!!!!!"
Thunderous applause filled Rei's ears as he stepped up onto the stage. He looked around and gulped again when he saw Kai's eyes focused on him. Smiling nervously, he took the microphone from Max's hand and at Max's encouragement, carefully chose a song.
"Erm...this song...goes out to someone very special to me," said Rei, stumbling slightly on his words, "I hope that he'll get this song and understand what he means to me."
Rei drew a deep breath and held it as he heard the murmurs about his choice of words. As he sang, he poured his whole heart and soul into the lyrics, hoping that it would reach Kai.
"toorisugiru kaze ga ima
kimi no koto wo kizutsukeru
zankoku na machinami no naka de
On these cruel streets,
the passing wind
hurts you" sang Rei as he moved smoothly to the slow beat of the song, cruising his way effortlessly across the stage as he swayed his hips slowly to the rhythm
"hitorizutsu no kanashimi mo
futari naraba daijoubu sa
kono ude de mamotte agetai
Even if there's sorrow in each of us,
it'll be alright, as long as we're together.
I want to take you in my arms and protect you
kokoro no oku made kimi ga afurete-iru yo
akiramenaide furuenaide
kitto mirai e tsurete yuku
You make the very depths of my heart overflow with emotion
Don't give up. Don't be scared.
I'll lead you toward the future."
Rei captured his audience with his melodic voice and soulful eyes. Eventually, his eyes landed on Kai and Rei blushed as he caught Kai's attention.
"kazaranai egao ga mabushii
meguriaeta no wa
suteki na itazura da ne
azayaka na kisetsu wo tsukamaete
eien ga mieru basho made
ai no uta wo kuchizusande yukou
Your true, un-made-up face is dazzling
That we were destined to meet
is a wonderful play of fate.
Catching the brilliant seasons,
let's walk on until we can see eternity,
singing a love song along the way."
Kai growled softly as he watched Rei move sensuously towards him on the extended stage. He definitely did NOT remember the soft-spoken Chinese boy to be so...attractive and intense.
"kimi to tokei wo kaetara
onaji toki ga nagareru darou
hanarete mo omoi wa todoku sa
If I could exchange watches with you,
then we could share the same time.
Even if we're apart, our feelings will reach each other...
nemurenai yoru wa te wo tsunaide ageru yo
umarete zutto sagashite-ita
kakegae no nai hito da kara
On sleepless nights, I'll hold your hand,
because you're the one and only person
I've searched for all my life.
wasurenai kimi to no yakusoku
shiawase wo itsuka
kanaeru soba ni iru yo
omoide no RIBON ga yogorete mo
I won't forget my promise to you
I'll be by your side,
to someday grant you happiness,
even if the ribbon of memories gets stained.
o-tagai no koto wo shinjite
ai no uta wo kanade nagara yukou
Believing in each other,
let's go on, performing a love song all the while."
Rei could hardly believe the effect his was having on the crowd as he watch them through his half slit eyes. In fact, he could hardly believe the effect he was having on Kai himself. As Rei watched him, it seemed almost possible to believe that Rei was the only thing in his focus and that Rei mattered the most, even if only for the moment.
"suki ni nari sugite kenka mo fueru keredo
shinpai nai sa sore mo ii sa
sono bun ai wa tsuyoku
We love each other so much, it makes our fights that much worse.
But don't worry, that's OK.
It makes our love stronger.
kazaranai egao ga mabushii
meguriaeta no wa
suteki na itazura da ne
azayaka na kisetsu wo tsukamaete
eien ga mieru basho made
ai no uta wo kuchizusande yukou
Your true, un-made-up face is dazzling
That we were destined to meet
is a wonderful play of fate.
Catching the brilliant seasons,
let's walk on until we can see eternity,
singing a love song along the way."
Rei slowly opened his eyes as he purred out the last few lines, appreciating the looks that Kai was giving him. Wanting the moment to last, Rei held his pose until the lights came on and everyone started cheering for him. Some catcalls got him to flush and others just made him laugh. Casting a look around, he noticed that Kai had a very strange look on his face, as if he was controlling something and Rei wanted to do something about it.
Rei swallowed tremblingly as he watched Kai make his way towards him. Casually making his way towards Rei, Kai grinned, a feral glint in his eyes making Rei squirm internally. Kai approached the Chinese boy with slow measured steps and couldn't quite keep his anticipating grin off his face. He felt people move back and stalked even more arrogantly towards Rei. He drew up to Rei in a matter of seconds and was soon standing face to face with him. Even at almost equal heights of 187 to 189, Rei couldn't help but look up towards his dream lover and held his breath in anticipation.
Kai looked at the little kitten almost in his lap and a slight purr came up his throat. Tilting Rei's chin up towards him, Kai purred in pleasure as he watched Rei's eyes close in eager anticipation. Kai bent forward slightly and captured Rei's lips with his own. Releasing Rei's chin, Kai used his arms to crush Rei to him. Kai's purr got louder as Rei molded his body into Kai's. However, Kai pulled away the moment Rei's hands went up to circle round his neck. Using his hands to hold Rei's hands at his (Rei's) side, Kai bent forward again to nuzzle Rei's neck. Kai smiled as he heard a purr come from the back of Rei's throat.
Rei could have meowed in dismay when he felt Kai pull away from his neck. Opening his eyes, the Chinese boy looked at Kai through his hazy vision and sighed when Kai stepped away. His golden eyes widened when Kai whispered into his ear, "You've had your fun, now it's my turn."
Rei watched as Kai sauntered, swaying his hips slowly, intoxicatingly, making his way to the stage.
