Kai looked over at the sleeping Todo. She clutched him tightly like she was scared he would leave and never come back. He gave a deep sigh. How silly of her to think that way. But he guessed she had a good excuse. After all, they weren't supposed to be seeing each other. The Hiwatari family and the Hikari family were mortal enemy's. Voltaire would surly be quite angry if he saw his grandson now.
Kai grunted at the thought of his grandfather. He hated him with a great passion, but he was the head of the great beyblading company Hiwatari Enterprises. Kai was the leagle heir, but could only claim it by marring Hilary. His Former teammate was over joyed when she heard the news and excepted the invitation right away. Kai didn't really have a choice. If he didn't except it them his father was going to take over. And Kai couldn't let that happen. He wanted his father to suffer. And having to watch your son whom you abandon years ago take your dream from right in front of you was a good way to do so.
Kai leaned in and placed a light kiss on his lovers cheek. How he wished he never agreed to that stupid proposal. There was no way to get out now that he signed the contract. If he had met Todo some time before that day he would of swallowed his pride and let the company go. The only way out now would be death.
Todo sifted, moving further into him. The sound of his heart beat against her ear was calming. She felt safe here in his arms. But she knew that if they were found out they could both be in major danger. They could be thrown into prison. And not just any prison. Voltaire's prison he built. It was just as bad if not worse than the abbey he had sent Kai to when he was 10.
It would seem the most sensible thing to do was just end it, but neither one of them could live without the others touch. Kai had made that perfectly clear. "True love must be won," He had said.
"Kai," Todo said softly. "Are you awake?"
"Yes love," Kai answered stroking her cheek lightly with his finger.
Todo's skin quivered with delight. She raised her face to meet his. "Can you sleep?" She asked sweetly.
Kai shook his head. "No," he said boldly. "I can't." He observed the gentleness in Todo's eyes and let a subtle smile cross his lips.
Todo smiled back. She sat up letting the covers slide off her bear chest. Her creamy skin glistened in the early mourning light. Gleaming traces on her skin gave a clue as to what they had done earlier.
Kai noticed her muscles tremble slightly. signaling the effects of their foreplay hadn't totally worn off yet. He chuckled and ran his hand up her back. "Was it to much for you?" He asked mischievously.
Todo gave him a look of annoyance but with a smile none the less. "No," she insisted. Her voice held no truth, and she knew that he could tell. But in this lie she had only meant to lessen her embarrassment.
They lay together for the rest of that dull morning. The light rail patter on the windows began about 9:00. It woke Todo from her trance. She sat up with such quickness that it made Kai jump.
"Sorry," Todo cooed. "Didn't mean to scare ya." She gave him a hopeful smile.
Kai nodded back to her. "I guess we better get up love," He exclaimed. "I have to get back home before Hilary comes knocking."
Todo's happiness melted away. She wanted to say no, but that wouldn't be right. If they were going to keep this relationship a secret then they would have to make everything look normal. And Kai not being home on time was not normal. He always waited there for Hilary to come, usually around 10:00 or even 9:30. She nodded solemnly and undid her embrace.
"Someday," Kai said strongly. "We won't have to hide. I promise you." As the words fell from his lips a slight shade of pink crept into his cheeks. It wasn't his style to say something that sweet, but it seemed to calm Todo.
Quickly he dressed then gave his lover a passionate kiss goodbye. Not looking back he made his way down the street cautiously, careful not to ketch sight of anyone of his house.
Todo closed the door slowly. She clutched the blanket around her loosely. She hated when he had to leave. It wasn't fair. With a graceful spin, Todo let the blanket fall. She stood, scilent, stairing at her nude figure in the full body mirror hanging on the near by wall.
"Now what?" She asked herself. "You have the whole day, what do you plan to do with it?" Todo paused and sighed. "Tala!" She said suddenly. "I'll go see brother." Scooping the blanket up in her arms, Todo raced to her room.
Tala was an early riser. He got up around five every morning. Todo was sure it would be a nice suprise to have breakfast with her self adopted brother. She swung poen her closet door. Her black and blue wordrobe hung neatly in a row.
This was the most important desistion of the day, as was the hair style. But, it was as well for all girls, and a few guys. Todo chose a tight black halter tob and black leather pants. The perfect outfit to acsent her slick curves. She was hoping to see Kai at the movies later, and she wanted to make sure that she caught his attention.
Laughing maniacly to herself, Todo brushed her long, sky blue, hair. She pulled it up in a ponytail, making sure to reveal her neck. Just the thing that really turned him on. Doned in a silver chain belt, and a black choker, Todo amde her way over to Tala's.
Kai entered his house quickly, closing the door with more force then what was needed. His eyes closed tightly until the echo faded out. "Damn," he cursed. Just as Kai walked out of the room the sound of his door bell rang through the quietness. Grudgeingly he turned and stomped to the door.
"Kai," came Hilary's shrill vioce as he pulled open the door. "How was your night?" She coked her head to one side trying to make herself look as innosent as possible.
"Quite satisfying," Kai grumbled. He chuckled under his breath at the this little joke that his fiance would definatley not get. "Your early," heprotested.
Hilary shrugged. "I woke up earlier than usuall," she exclaimed. "I was baored so I thought of you."
Kai rolled his eyes and stepped aside, allowing Hilary to come inside.
Hilary entered with a gust of happiness. How she adored the fact that she was going to marry, him. The one and only Kai Hiwatari. She had been crushing on him for so long, and he had completely ignored her the whole time. She never thought for one moment that they were going to be together. Then a shot of realization hit her. he wasn't really in love with her. he had to join the family together. She sighed sadly and walked into the parlor. Oh well, they were still getting married none the less.
Tala stood in complete shock at the sight of his adopted sister in leather. "T-todo," he shuddered. "What are you wearing?"
"It's for Kai later," Todo confessed. "When we go to the movies, I hope to catch his eye and tease him a little." She let a sly smile cross her lips.
Tala smiled back and shook his head. "Come on in," he chuckled. "Your just in time for breakfast."
Todo stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She followed Tala to the kitchen, humming the whole way.
"Your in a good mood," Tala exclaimed. "What happened?"
"Just the usual," Todo replied. "Kai spent the night, we had a blast, and then he left." her suddenly became sad. "To go see, her. That fake, cheeky, loud, obnoxious, bimbo spawn of Satan."
Tala looked down at his sister with an almost fearful look. "remind me not to get on your bad side," he chuckled.
"Thirsty?" Kai asked entering the parlor with hesitation.
Hilary shook her head and sat down on the couch. "No thanks," She said sweetly. "Come sit with me."
"No thanks,' Kai repeated her answer with a slight happy tone, knowing how annoyed it would make her. He observed the disappointed look on her face and leaned against the wall.
"You don't like me do you?" Hilary asked sorrowfully.
"Your okay," Kai lied. That would of been true once upon a time. when they first met. She was smart and thought of good training techniques. But as time went on she became more, and more, loud, and bossy. He very quickly took to disliking her. But Tyson however still enjoyed her company, for some reason. Well, let him have her, Kai thought. She's of no use to me. He closed his eyes and pictured his lover. All wrapped up in him. He wished he could be with her now. "Someday," he whispered.
"Huh?" Hilary interrupted his thoughts. "You say something?"
"No," Kai answered quickly. "I didn't."
