"Congratulations Blade Breakers. Congratulations to all of you." Mr. Dickenson said to all the beyblading teams that where now gathered in front of the stage. "Now as you all know the Assistant Director of the BBA, Mr. Kewie Wong, has retired this year. With an unfortunate turn of events, man who was suppose to be taking his place regrettably fell ill and passed away last Friday." He looked nervous. "Everything we do for the BBA has to pass by the owner of the BBA, and I hope the owner is merciful to me for all my hard work." He was sweating bullets. "In our short span of time we have found a new replacement and I have not had the chance to introduce them to each other. Let me introduce you to your new Assistant Director of the BBA, Mrs. Cho-lin Kon." Rei ducked behind Kai, as a short Chinese woman charged at him, screaming "REI, MY BABY!" She wrapped herself around him.
"Mother, what are you doing here? Why are you not in China with father?" He gasped as her grip tightened.
"No hello mother? Where have your manners gone? Maybe it's these crude little boys you call a team rubbing off on you. We can change that though, I'm passing a Etiquette and formal training bill to go around the Board of Directors." The beybladers murmured in surprise.
"Some could use that, but why are you not with father?" Rei asked again.
"Your father is dead. He died last spring, but who cares about the old fool? I get my baby boy all to myself."
"That's not possible, I received a letter from him in February."
"Nope, that was me who wrote you back." Rei paled. "You will be marrying Mariah." Rei shook his head, Cho-lin slapped him hard, he bled from the corner of his mouth.
"No, I will choose who I marry and you're the reason why I left China in the first place. Your hurting me." She raised her hand again. Rei was ready for the sting but a large, strong, pale hand caught hers.
"I believe my teammate said you are hurting him, in other words, let go." Kai yanked on her wrist, when she didn't let go he got angry. "You will remove your arm from around Rei, before I remove it permanently." He snapped her wrist back, she screamed, then he carelessly threw her to the side. She charged at Kai, he picked her up by the neck and lifted her so he could look her in the eyes.
"Let's get a few things straight, Mrs. Kon. I was not there at the Board meeting because I was here, so I don't know what they told you. I am the closest person on the board to the Owner of the BBA, I know what he was looking for in the Assistant Director. You are nowhere close to it."
"I don't think you know who you're dealing with, young man."
"You have it the wrong way around, Mrs. Kon…" Mr. Dickenson said.
"I really don't give a damn. My name is Kai Hiwatari, I am the richest person in Russia from my parent. My grandfather, Voltaire Hiwatari, left Hiwatari Enterprises, the Abbey, the Voltaire Market, a few lesser companies, and three hundred and fifty million dollars. All protected by the five thousand dollars worth of electronic security systems and sixteen million dollars worth of hired arm mercenaries, to protect my things. So the next time you touch Rei, without his permission, it won't be just your wrist I break, do you understand me?" She nodded and he dropped her.
"Kai, that was unnecessary--" Mr. Dickenson started.
"Unnecessary? You want to talk about unnecessary? I guess it is unnecessary to have a full Board of Directors to pass judgment on a position as big as Assistant Director. I guess it's unnecessary to inform the Owner of this fact either." He stopped and smirked. He flipped his phone out and said something quick in Russian. "I guess it's unnecessary for Hiwatari Enterprises to fund the BBA."
"Kai, you wouldn't do that--"
"What is he talking about, Stanley?" Cho-lin asked.
"Yes, Stanley, what am I talking about? Tell them, tell her, how much the BBA needs me."
"If the BBA was not backed by the Hiwatari Enterprises, there would be none of this. I've done the math before, basic tickets would be starting at a thousand dollars each, championship tickets would be over two thousand dollars, a full house at that price would get us passed the basic rings. We would have no bladers, no hotels, no transportation, if we lost the Hiwatari Enterprises there would be no Beyblading, it would have gone bankrupt five years ago. He drug us out of a six million dollar whole." The stadium was quiet.
"It's Kai that pays us to Blade?" Robert asked, Mr. Dickenson nodded. "Why?"
"It gives me something to look forward to." He shrugged. "We should get going. There is suppose to be a blizzard hitting here in three hours. If you wish, I am throwing a, Tyson would call it a party, at my Manor, the beybladers who participated can come. Those who don't, I hope you have your personal money cause the BBA is currently pending it's money." He waved his hand to the large flat screen over head. It showed two banks one labeled 'Hiwatari Ent' and the other was 'BBA'. Under the first one was the number $806,450,199,001.23, under the second one was $1009.10, in the middle of the two was a blue circle above it said 'Pending' in big bold black letters with $69,000 under it.
"That's a big number." Hillary said, her eyes popped out of her head.
"You should see my privet account then." He started walking out of the stadium, stopped and turned to Dickenson. "Your skating on thin Ice, Dickenson, I would hate to see that ice crack. I give her until the next world championship, unless she messes up before that, before I unfreeze the Pending. If I still don't like how she's doing thing one of us will have to go. I don't plan on moving though. Owner and I will be watching your every step, Mrs. Kon. I will enjoy watching your attempt of a competition fail."
"Tala, I do believe you still have my shadow Knights. Send them to monitor Mrs. Kon. Don't make themselves known."
"Of course, Kai." Tala said swinging from Bryan's arm. "Why are we having a party, Kai? That confused me. You don't spit shit like that out." Tala thought. "You have a different reason for the party. What are you planning?"
"Quiet, I don't want every bloody idiot to know." He hissed at Tala. "If you can keep your mouth shut I will tell you later. After you're bound to secrecy."
An hour after that they had three limos the first had The Blade Breakers, The Blitzkrieg boys, The White Tigers, Dickenson, and Mrs. Kon. The Second held the All-Stars, Majestics, King, Queen, Raul and Julia. The third held Brooklyn, Hiro, Garland, Claude, Ming-ming, Mystel, Miguel, Mathild and Zeo.
"I don't remember inviting the two of you." Kai said to the two adults, from around Rei, they had to double up on the seats.
"Be nice, Kai." Rei yawned out Kai's name.
"I think the kitten needs a cat nap." Tala giggled as Rei nodded and lead up against the wall divider between the driver and the passengers. Kai shifted him, Rei being as tired as he was he didn't fight. He could feel, how he was now position, his back against the wall, he was sitting between Kai's legs, his head was against Kai's shoulder, Kai's arms were wrapped around him, it made him feel safe, especially with his mother sitting not even five feet away. Rei blushed.
"What is making the kitten blush?" Kai teased, causing Rei to blush harder. Rei stretched his legs out, Kai laughed at him.
"What?" Rei asked "Oh, sorry Bryan." He said when he realized his legs were on Bryan's legs.
"It's okay." He smirked. "Whatever the kitten wants, right?"
"That's creepy." Rei told him. "I'm use to Tala saying it, that's just a him thing. You saying it's a bit creepy."
"Kai called you kitten too, Rei…Rei…" Tyson said
"Kaisnice" Rei murmured his slurred answer into Kai's neck, but he was able to make it out, he was pretty sure Tala and Bryan made it out as well. They wouldn't tell though.
"What he say?" Tyson and Max asked together. The three Russians shrugged. Minutes turned into an hour, all but Kai, Mr. Dickenson and Mrs. Kon were asleep. Tyson's stomach growled, Max who was laying half beside him, half on top of him, frowned. Max and Hillary moved to the floor, Kenny's head rested on Hillary's shoulder, her head on his. The rest of the floor was take up by Gary. The rest of the White Tigers looked like fallen dominos on the back seat. Spencer's chin was against his chest with Ian sitting in his lap and his head on his shoulder. Bryan was in a similar position with most of Tala on his lap. The other half of Tala was on top of Rei's legs, Tala's arms were around them in a strong grip.
"Kai, why are you holding the money from the BBA? That's unfair to all of them and yourself. What would Owner think about that?" Mr. Dickenson asked.
"How much do you know about the woman sitting next to you, Mr. Dickenson?" Kai checked to see if Rei was truly asleep, he was.
"She fits all the minimum requirements and she's Rei's mother."
"She might fit the minimum, but she is not Rei's mother, not legally." Dickenson gasped. "Before Rei, ran away from China, Mrs. Kon sold her son to my grandfather, a legal transfer of Guardianship. I was there under another name. You can ask the man I took the place of that night when we get to my house. When we got home, my grandfather misplaced the file and I contacted you, Mr. Dickenson."
"So what? I didn't want a child. So I sold him, the twat left before the contract was made. He has no family."
"No he has a family," Tala said sitting up and stretched his arms. "He has us and the Bladebreakers. And everything that Kai has to offer." Tala's eyes widened at what he just said. "Protection wise." He giggled.
"We need to wake everyone up. The gates are up there, we have ten minutes." Snow started falling. "Rei, love, time to wake up." Kai whispered.
"Five more minutes, Kai." Rei said sleepily. "Five minutes." Kai agreed. "Everyone else up." Tala tapped Ian and Spencer on the shoulder, they jumped, wide awake now. Tala held Tyson's nose and held his mouth shut, Tyson opened his eyes.
"AHHHH. Don't kill me!" he screamed waking everyone else up, everybody but Rei.
"He must be tired to sleep through that." Kenny said, Kai nodded.
"Yeah, it's been raining and snowing everywhere we've been. You know how he get when it rains." The Bladebreakers and White Tigers nodded. The others looked confused. "Twice as worse as me with nails. I normally get Tyson to wake him up on those days."
"Chicken shit." Kevin said.
"You've never seen Rei on a bad morning."Lee said to the youngest on his team. He held up his right arm and undid the bandages revealing ten long deep scars. "Rei on a bad morning. His nails went down to the bone. He didn't apologize for it either, he said that should be my lesson."
"Did you learn anything from it?" Rei asked him.
"Yeah, only idiots should wake you up." They all laughed. Rei curled back up on top of Kai, into his former position. Kai started rubbing circles on the small of Rei's back, a smile crawled on his face when Rei started purring. Mariah hissed at the two men, Rei yowled at her angrily, then Lee made a noise making them both look at him. Rei went back to his position on Kai, but Mariah was still hissing, Lee tried to get her under control. Kai returned to rubbing the circles, but Rei wasn't relaxing, not with Mariah like that. 'How dare she call him out like that? Especially with Kai so close! Oh so close.' He inhaled Kai's scent and pressed his lips against the soft pale skin exposed between Kai's scarf and his muscle shirt, they both shivered at the contact. The limos stopped shortly after that, everyone got out.
"Take your shoes off when you get inside and leave your luggage by the stairs. I want to explain the rules of the house and such things." They did as they were told and followed him to the living room. "Okay, everyone has a roommate. You both have to agree on staying with each other. Two to a room, unless you're on the second floor, which is going to be the Blitzkrieg boys and the Bladebreakers, then you have your own house within the house. I had the servants empty the Bladebreaker's food supply, so Tyson doesn't eat it all. Breakfast is served from six am to ten am, lunch is served from noon to two pm dinner is severed at six sharp. There are many locked door in this place so if it doesn't open, it means don't try. If you go down stairs you'll find the training arena, gym and pool, if you wish to go down farther than that, to the hot springs, find me, Tala or Bryan, we will allow or not to go down there."
"Means nobody is going down there." Hillary said disappointedly.
"Catch me on a good day after I come out of the Blitzkrieg boy's room." Kai pulled out a small clear bag out of his pocket and tossed it to Tala who sniffed it.
"DAMN Kai, where the hell did you get this? It smell so fuckin good." He said opening the bag and inhaling deeply.
"Found it in grandfather's study. Along with a half empty bottle of Blood and Lust dated 1915. I think we can find a reason to celebrate, don't ya think?" He smirked at the what-the-fuck-where-is-it look on Tala's face, he decided to rub it in a little bit more. "Right next to the unopened bottle of Russian Pride 1890 and the last two bottles of Silver Phoenix not dated, one opened one not opened. But the layer of dust said old. 1800 old. I think I'm going to save those though."
"That's not fair, Kai. We're family, you shouldn't hold out on that stuff."
"I have plans for the second one already."
"What are they? Bottle's of what?"Oliver asked.
"Drinks. Blood and lust, 1915 apple cider red wine. Russian Pride, 1890 Russian vodka shots mixed with Russian's version of the Irish Wake. Silver Phoenix, there were only three hundred bottles of that made. They were made by the Hiwatari family wine and Brewery. I can't tell you what's in it. Anyways, the second floor is the Bladebreaker's and B-Boys room, my room, the floor above that is the library. Okay, go find a room."
"Kai, can…I…um…we…share a room…oomph…" He asked quickly before Mariah tackled him to the ground.
"Rei you should be my bed partner." Rei stuttered at her bluntness.
"Sorry, Wong, I beat you to him." Kai said holding his hand out to Rei helping him up. She ran off wailing.
"Thank you." Rei smiled brightly, Kai smiled at him, Rei's smile was contiguous. They walked to the staircase to grab their luggage and haul it up to Kai's room
"I was going to find you anyways. This house is pretty sound proof but when storm like these come around the only soundproof room then, is mine. Out of all the people I trust here, the Bladebreakers and the B-boys, you were the only one that is not taken or one I wouldn't smother in your sleep. I could most likely put up with Kenny, Dizzi, would have to go though. Ian and Spencer are as unrepeatable as Bryan and Tala. Those guys are package deals since the Abbey."
"What about Hillary?" Rei asked.
"Don't make me gag, Rei." He laughed. "I like my quietness…" He smirked "and noise when it's me who caused it." Rei gasped and blushed. "you help me with my quietness."
"I could help you with the noise as well." Kai stopped and arched an eyebrow at him, his mask of cold calculation was trying to read Rei, who was trying desperately to hide his blush and fear in his eyes, he looked to see if anybody was around, 'Nope. Good.' .
'What the hell? The guy tells you he trusts you and you pull that comment! Why won't he say something.' "We will see then." Rei just stood there, mouth hanging open, eyes wide. "Close your mouth, Rei, before I find something to put in it." Kai stood there in front of him, thumbs tucked in the top of his pants, Rei licked his lips at the sight and thoughts it sent him. Rei's cock twitched, Rei looked down at the traitor. "I think we should get to our room before anybody else notices you." Rei blushed and followed him through a door which lead to a sitting room, through another door that lead to the bedroom. Kai took Rei's bags from him and dropped them on the floor, lead him to the king sized bed, then sat down with him by his side.
"How far have you been, Rei?" Kai asked licking and nipping at Rei's neck.
"With a guy? This far. With a chick, Mariah gave me a hand job and turned all girls off for me." Kai removed Rei's shirt and kissed down his chest, stopping to tease Rei's nipples. Kai kissed down to Rei's pant's, he looked up to find Rei staring at him with lust covered golden eyes, Kai removed Rei's pants slowly. A slow blush shaded Rei's face as Kai stared at his weeping shaft, he started kissing his way up the inside of Rei's thigh. "OMMM, Kai." Rei moaned. Kai's left hand ran through the tiny black hairs that grew around Rei's cock, before taking the base of his shaft to prevent him from coming. Kai kissed the tip of Rei's cock, licking down the vein, gaining loud moans from the Raven haired boy. Kai then took Rei in full. "Kai!" Rei gasped out. "Oh Kai…Kai…" Rei's body was trembling as he panted Kai's name. Kai smiled and released Rei, Kai drank up everything Rei had to offer him. "KAI!" Rei gasped out in a scream.
"I always thought you were the straight one, Rei." Kai joked once Rei caught his breath. He rolled onto his back.
"I am straight." Sat up and leaned over Kai to where their lips were inches apart. "For you." Rei kissed him, Kai kissed him back, he pushed Rei onto his back not breaking the kiss. Kai jumped away from Rei as his word sank in. Rei sat up, he saw sadness, fear and a little bit of anger in Kai's red eyes before he was out the door with not another word. "Kai…" Rei called out, arm reaching out for the door. "Kai…" Rei cried himself to sleep, alone and confused, in a big cold bed in a dark unfamiliar room.
