axa: Well, I have delayed myself and I'm afraid I have made myself quite a stack of unfinished stories. So, to force myself to finish each and every one of them, I have decided to post this sequel in the hopes that your reviews would encourage me to finish it. Please give me your cooperation. Until then, here's the first chapter of the sequel to In Whose Arms. Enjoy!

Reclaim: the Story Continues

Kai's POV

It's been a week since Tala showed up following Tyson in the park. I can very well say, without admitting out loud, that I am very displeased with this. And that in itself is an understatement. Everything would've worked out fine if Tala hadn't shown up. Seriously, that guy must be asking for it! I was okay with letting him off the hook since Tyson was happy without those memories darkening his soul. Now, not only did he show up, he's now plotting something that'll separate me from my blue-haired seraph and stealing him all to himself.

He even managed to worm himself between our relationship and is now stealing some major quality time that Tyson could've spent with me. If this goes on any longer, I'm sure he'll have the opportunity to steal Tyson away from me. He leaves me no choice. I'll investigate Tyson's whole-month disappearance from the place where he slept down to the food that he ate before I found him- excluding the ice cream. And then I'm sure I'll find out how Tyson's memory was altered and by whom. And I bet it has something to do with Tala. I don't know how, and I'm not entirely sure why. But I'll know and I swear he's after my beloved. I can feel it in my gut. but for now, I'll be sticking with my lover to make sure of his safety from that sleazy mutt of a wolf. I can't be impulsive and consider my every move, every word carefully. and that's enough to piss me off. How pissed do you think I am now?

Normal POV

Kai just sat in his library, brooding made obvious by the scowl on his face. He was so busy brooding he missed the soft knock on the door. Tyson knocked again, and again there was no answer. This can only mean two things. Either no one's inside or Kai was too busy sulking to notice. Either way, Tyson decided to go in anyway in a sneaking manner. The only way to counter Kai's sourpussness, he found out, is to sneak on him and cuddle. This is a very effective way to lighten up his mood. Works everytime.

Tyson opened the door slightly and sneaked a peek. Sure enough, the room was occupied by Kai. The fireplace was in use after all. 'That face! He's definitely in a sour mood.'

'Master, I don't think you should bother him this time. What if he'll -? '

'Dragoon, it's fine. I know Kai would never hurt me intentionally. Besides, you know it always works every time,' Tyson confidently assured his bit-beast partner.

Dragoon sighed, a sure sign of defeat. 'Very well, Master Tyson. I will see you later,' and he ended their link.

'I bet,' Tyson thought to himself. 'He's probably off to a lover's tryst with Dranzer.' He mentally snickered at the thought. It was a known fact that those two are a couple, no matter how vehemently those two holy beasts deny it.

Back to the object at hand, Tyson went inside with silent footfalls, thankful for the oiled hinges so as not to give him away. The thick carpet helped a lot in silencing each step he took to get behind the high-backed, cushioned, office chair where Kai was sitting.

Tyson braced himself before jumping onto Kai's lap, startling his older lover from his dark thoughts. Kai heard giggles and looked down on his lap where he found himself face to face with his angel. Said angel buried his face on Kai's chest and made rubbing motions, Tyson's way of cuddling with his love.

Kai's foul mood immediately dissipated and placed his arms around Tyson tightly. His chin rested on the top of his dragon's head, his face smoothed into relaxed lines. His heart felt light compared to earlier. He felt arms snake behind his neck and he was once again gazing into midnight-blue eyes filled with love and concern.

"Feeling better now?" Tyson whispered, still staring into crimson eyes burning with love. Kai gave his answer in a form of a soft, chaste kiss on the lips. Tyson smiled into the kiss, glad that Kai feels better now.

"Well, now that you're done mooning," said Tyson, getting off his lover's lap and pulling his hand till Kai stands up. "Let's get ready for bed or we won't be awake enough to spend the day with the others."

Kai snorted. "Says the boy who sleeps like the dead if I'm not here to wake you." But Tyson took no offense. "That's why I need you to sleep on time so you can wake me on time. See the logic?"

Kai rolled his eyes, allowing himself to be pulled up a flight of stairs and into their master bedroom. Yes, they have been in this arrangement ever since their first night together. Oddly, there was no awkwardness between them after the deed was done. They just went straight into a relationship and they couldn't be happier – until Tala.

Kai once again scowled at the thought. And with Tyson within his arms, both of them under the blanket snuggling to each other's warmth, he buried his nose in Tyson's unbound hair. Just the bluenette's presence is enough to clam him down.

Tyson's back was pressed to Kai's front. The dual-haired teen placed his mouth near the other's ear and blew on it. He smirked when he felt Tyson's body shivering. "Want to exercise before we sleep for the night?" he whispered and was pleased when he saw Tyson blush.

The bluenette faced him and smiled slyly. "Mmmm, Kai… I thought you'd never ask." Kai had to laugh at that.

TBC... Tsuzuku

axa: *sighs* Well I did it. Please don't kill me!

Kai: *snorts* You deserve to be killed.

axa: Hey!

Tala: *pops up* Oooh... Tyson is so mine... *smirks*

axa; Kai; Tyson: Don't count on it... -_-
