Author's note: I don't own Beyblade

I wasn't sure if I was going to make a sequel, but here it is. I don't know where I'm taking this, as I'm still thinking up plot points. It won't be as heavy as Till Death, but it will still hold adult themes and other problems.

I know Ray's daughter at the end of the manga was Rin, but I thought it'd be better to change the name since she was conceived from love and not rape, so her name was changed to Rain, a mix between Kai and Ray (as stated in the last chapter of Till Death) (Rain is also my daughters name, though I didn't name her that because of these two, but I might make my new reason lol.) Though I kept Tyson's son's name the same just to keep the idea that it is his son.

This is set 7-8 years after Till Death, and we might bounce around further, I don't know yet.

Hope you enjoy, please review.

"Papa... Daddy... I want... A baby brother." She smiled, a fang popping over her bottom lip as she looked to both her fathers.

Kai's coffee spewed from his nose, while Ray's got stuck in his throat. Pounding his chest to get it unstuck, he gave a quick curious look to his daughter then to his husband; who sat at the head of their dining table.

"Rain... That's not what we meant when we asked you, what you wanted for your birthday." Ray managed to find his voice. When he had asked her that question, he wasn't expecting that answer with how long it had taken her to come up with it.

"But I want a baby brother." She mumbled. She wasn't a spoiled child, and she never cried for things she couldn't have, but a small tear did catch in her eye.

"I'm sorry Rain. But we can't give you a baby brother." Ray sat his mug down in front of him. She was only 7, about to be 8 and he didn't think he'd have to have this kind of talk with her so young. "Two daddies can't have babies."

"Why not? I'm here, aren't I? And Makoto, he has two daddies." She gave both her parents bewildering looks, a fine raven colored eyebrow raised.

"Yes. You're here, and so is Makoto... uncle Tyson and Max, they had a lady give birth to Makoto-"

"Then find a lady to give me a brother!" She cut in his words, excitement held in her tone.

Kai covered his mouth to keep from spewing his coffee out again. Ray sighed, trying to think of things to say.

"What about the lady who gave birth to me?" She questioned.

Both Kai and Ray locked eyes, a cold shiver ran down Rays spine. She had never once questioned who her mother was. All she knew was that Ray was her father and Kai was her daddy, because they were married.

"We should probably discuss this later. You need to get ready for school." Kai broke the uneasy silence that had befallen them.

"Yes daddy." She finished her plate of pancakes, gulped down her orange juice before bounding out of the kitchen.

"Ray?" Kai reached over and grabbed Ray's hand gently. "Are you alright?" It was a stupid question to ask, he could see the fear in Ray's eyes.

"I... I don't know... I'm going for a walk." Ray pulled his hand away and stood, not finishing his plate of food.

Kai let out a sigh as he leaned back into his chair, running a hand through his slate colored bangs as he heard the front door click shut. A few minutes passed and Rain came running into the kitchen again, back pack held to her shoulder.

"Okay daddy, I'm ready." She called.

"You have your jacket?" He stood from the table.

"Yes sir." She nodded going to get her jacket from the coat rack by the door. "Where's papa?" She asked, as Kai gathered his keys and wallet off the shelf that hung by the door.

"He went for a walk, I'll take you to school." Kai ushered her out the front door without another word. A darkness looming over his head, one that had never been there before in all their 7 years since Rain was born.

Ray had been pacing for 40 minutes now, Kai stood quietly watching him as he got ready for work. The pacing a minor distraction as he tied a red tie around his neck, shifting his shoulders to settle his suit jacket.

"Ray... please stop." He turned from the body mirror in the corner of their room, Ray paused for a moment in front of their bed and stared at him for a second before he started up again.

"You knew this was going to happen, sooner or later." Kai sighed as he walked over to their bed, taking a seat on the edge to pull his shoes on.

"Not this early. She's only 7. Will be 8 next month. What am I supposed to tell her Kai? She wasn't made from love-"

"But you love her." Kai gave him a warning look.

"Of course, I do. It doesn't matter now how she was conceived, I'd give my life for hers. As any parent should." Ray defended, almost looking hurt by Kai's question.

"Then we'll just explain it to her, best we can." Kai sighed, having finished tying his shoes. "I have to leave now; will you be alright?" Kai asked, placing a hand on Ray's shoulder as he stood.

"I'll be alright, I have a few papers I need to fill. It'll give me a distraction." Ray sighed, a weight crashing down on his shoulders.

"She's a bright kid, Ray. She'll understand." Kai quickly pecked Ray on the cheek before taking his watch off the side table, giving himself one quick look over in the mirror before leaving.

Ray stood there, trying to still his trembling. He had been preparing for a birthday party, not having the harsh reality of his child's conception hit him in the face. Thousands of questions were flying through his head, what if she'd want to know Mariah, want to spend time with her? All these and other questions, he bit back hot tears that were forming at the corners of his eyes. Eight years had seemed to have flown by them, he knew it would have only been a matter of time till she was 13; when Mariah would be released from prison. Another cold chill ran down his spine, he sat on the foot of his bed; unable to handle the stress that started to eat him whole.

Without much thinking, he got up and went to his side table, pulling open the drawer he pulled out the false bottom. There in the small hidden spot sat an orange clear bottle, he twisted the cap and poured three pills into his hand. He paused for a moment, starring at the oval shaped pills before tossing them into his mouth. He placed the bottle back into the hidden space, a wash of guilt crashing down on him as he closed the drawer.

What was done, was done. He pushed past the guilt and started to the office on the second floor, hoping that some paper work would take his mind off things. It would be a while before the pills took effect, but he had never taken so many at once and already his head was getting heavy. He held onto the railing and the walls for support, his vision blurry and the objects around him coming in and out of focus. Somehow, he managed to find the door to the office, fumbling with the knob he stumbled inside.

Feet dragging under him, threatening to give out any second he crashed down into the leather chair. His breathing had quickened and sweat was pooling down his face, he grabbed at a few things on the desk, knocking some things off in the process.

"Shit…" He hissed, staring mindlessly at the objects that had fallen on the floor.

An old cup shattered on the floor, a stack of papers now scattered around the wheels of the chair. A cup that held some pens and pencils was toppled over on the side of the desk, its contents splayed out on the floor. He stared at everything below him, unable to fully move his limbs as they felt heavier than ever. He rested his head against the desk, the cool wood helping his flustered skin. For a moment, his mind flashed to Kai finding him and being angry, but that thought passed as his eyes slowly closed and he fell asleep.

Kai had been busy all day in his office at work, papers littered his desk as he thumbed through some of the more important ones. He let out a sigh, his mind wouldn't get off the subject from that morning. He tried to think of things that would make the situation less tense, not as hard for Ray; and himself. Though, it was like he always knew this was going to happen. Another challenge that he had to take head on, though this time he wasn't alone.

They would have to be firm in how they explained it to their daughter, they never lied to her before and they weren't going to start now. She was a smart child, always had been. She would understand, and hopefully that was all she needed. Kai's small smile faded when his phone lit up with life, his secretaries voice coming over the intercom.

["Mr. Hiwatari, line four."] He glared at the phone for a second, then picked up the receiver hitting the four button.

["Hiwatari."] He spoke, straightening his back in his chair.

["Yes, hello Mr. Hiwatari. This is Principle Nikolaev. It seems we still have your daughter Rain with us, her ride has not shown up to retrieve her and the home number she gave us has gone unanswered. If you could come get her."] Kai's heart dropped, and he muttered out some words before slamming the phone back on the receiver.

["I have to go, cancel the rest of the appointments for the day."] He said as he jabbed a finger into the intercom button on the phone pad.

["Yes sir."] Her voice trembled as she spoke, and she jumped in her seat as his door swung open and he stalked out of his office.

"Rain." He called to her, coming through the doors of the school.

Her head shot up from her lap, a smile crossing her lips as she caught sight of him.

"Are you alright?" He bent down in front of her, checking over her.

"I'm fine daddy. I finished my homework while I waited for you." She smiled again.

["Mr. Hiwatari, a word."] The principle stepped from behind a door, motioning for Kai to follow him. Kai nodded, gave a small smile over his shoulder to Rain before walking into the room.

The principle sat at the back of his desk, motioning for Kai to take a seat as well. Kai sat, crossing one leg over the other and crossing his arms over his chest. The principle, a large burly man with a bald head and mustache, cleared his throat before speaking.

["Mr. Hiwatari. I thought we were past all this."]

["I don't know why my husband wasn't here to pick her up, or why the phones have gone unanswered. But it won't happen again."]

["I don't wish to involve the authorities in this, but if it happens again… I'm afraid we'll have no choice in the matter."] The man rubbed at his mustache, a sigh escaping his lips.

["I don't take kindly to threats, not when it concerns my family."] A darkness spread across his face, as he glared at the man before him.

["This is not a threat sir. It is merely protocol."]

["It won't happen again. Good day."] Kai's anger was threatening to burst over the top, he stood with such force his chair hit the wall behind him. He slammed a hand on the top of the desk before him, gave one last warning glare at the man before turning on his heel.

"Let's go Rain." Kai called to her, and she bounced down from her chair following him.

"Go play outside till dinner." Kai ordered as he sat his keys on the shelf by the door, Rain nodded dropping her back pack on the floor and taking off into the kitchen.

With a low growl in his throat he started for his bedroom across the living room, throwing the door open and not seeing any signs of Ray he slammed it behind him. Bounding up the stairs, skipping a step in his stride he turned down the hall to the office. The door was open and his heart dropped when he stepped in. Ray's head was on the desk, objects scattered the floor around him. His breathing was hardly detectable, Kai ran over and placed a hand on his back. With a sigh as he felt the movement of Ray's breathing, he shook his shoulders waking him.

"Kai? What time is it?" Ray sat up, blinking the sleep away as he glanced around. "Oh my god Rain!" Ray jumped from the chair, a look of panic crossing his face.

"She's outside." Kai scorned, crossing his arms. "Care to tell me what the hell happened?" He glared.

"I… I fell asleep. The stress must have gotten to me." Ray shrugged, rubbing the back of his head. A headache was making itself known in the side of his temple, and he winced when Kai rose his voice at him.

"Don't fucking lie to me Ray, where are they?!" He narrowed his eyes.

"What're you talking about?" Ray called after him as Kai started out of the office, chasing after him down the stairs. "I don't know what you mean."

Ray stopped in the doorway of their room as Kai went around opening drawers to the dresser, jerking the closet door open and searching a few shoe boxes.

"Where are the pills Ray?" Kai shot him a warning look.

He knew Ray had never fully gotten over his addiction, but it had been months since he had used them; and the hiding spots got harder and harder to find. He would only use them when work got too stressful, or when life seemed to be crashing down on him. Kai had originally given him the script to ease his muscles for when he had to fly somewhere for work. Not once had he ever overdosed and Kai didn't feel the need to keep track at how many refills he placed; they were both 34-years-old. Kai figured he'd be responsible enough not to do something like this. He had his slip ups, and Kai figured that Ray had stopped; after their last argument about them.

"I don't have anymore, I told you I fell asleep." Ray crossed his arms over his chest.

"Don't bullshit me!" Kai sneered, noticing the glance Ray had made towards his side table.

"Kai, stop!" Ray had noticed Kai had seen him look, and he reached out to stop him but was too late.

Kai jerked the drawer open to Ray's side table clean out, dumping it upside down the false bottom dropped out and the pill bottle rolled on the floor by his feet. Kai jerked his attention towards Ray, anger flashed in his eyes.

"They're threatening to take her away, is this really worth it?" Kai asked, snatching the bottle from the floor.

"What… They can't do that! We're good parents, I haven't had a slip up in months." Ray started to mumble, his headache raging in the side of his head. His heart had sunk at Kai's words, he never realized that they would threaten such a thing.

"They can, and they will. If you don't get your head out of your ass and think about what you're doing!" Kai clenched the bottle in his hands, he hated yelling at Ray; but it needed to be done. "I thought we were passed this." He chucked the bottle on top of the bed, starring at it in disgust.

"Kai… I'm… I'm so sorry…" Ray fought back the tears, he knew he had no right to cry. The problem he had caused was his fault, and his alone.

"Then get help! Or we won't have our daughter anymore. Which is most important to you?" Kai walked past him, his shoulder bumping into Ray's as he did so.

Dinner that night was unbearably quiet, Kai had to make it as Ray kept himself holed up in their room. It was a simple quick dinner, not hard to make but Kai hated cooking. Rain was blissfully unaware of the tension that clung over the air of her parents, and she ate and talked about her school day with a smile on her face. That night Kai tucked her into bed, Ray standing in the door way of her room watching. Everything he had fought for was there before him, and his heart dropped at the prospect of everything being taken from him.

Kai placed a kiss on Rain's forehead, pulling the covers over her shoulders and leaving. Ray followed him down the stairs quietly, fumbling with his fingers in front of him till they reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Kai…" He breathed out, they hadn't said a word to each other all night since their fight.

"What is it?" Kai asked, his anger had still clung to him all night. He gave a glare over his shoulder at Ray as he started to take off his lounge shirt.

"I'm so sorry… I just... There's no excuse for what I did, what I've done. I'm sorry." Ray hung his head, he was too tired to continue to fight.

"Why do you keep doing this?" Kai sighed, the tension in his muscles finally relaxing as he sat on edge of their bed. Tossing his shirt to the floor across from him, and placing his glasses on the side table beside him.

"I don't know…" Ray shook his head.

"I have told you to get help… Why haven't you?" Kai rubbed the bridge of his nose, taking in a deep breath.

"I'm scared too…" Ray shifted where he stood. "I've kept all that pent up, I don't want to think about it… Yet when I do, the only thing I can think to do is numb it and not deal with it. It's easier that way on me, I didn't think it would cost us so much."

"Look. I understand, but it's not the right way." Kai's anger had started to subside.

"I know, and I can apologize all night and day tomorrow for it." Ray started but stopped when Kai raised a hand.

"Just please… Get help." He sighed out, laying down on his back onto his pillow. "We have too many things to worry about to begin with." He mumbled.

"I know… I'm… I'm going to go take a shower…" Ray nodded and he shuffled his way to their bathroom, at the back of their room.

Kai sighed again as the door clicked shut behind Ray, running a hand through his bangs. He hated fighting with him, hated seeing him tear himself down because of the things that happened to him; to them. He loved him with all he could, but he realized it was slowly becoming not enough for Ray. He had to help him, help them before their world got more turned upside down.

With another sigh, he peeled his back off the bed and started towards the bathroom; the sound of the shower starting up. He gently opened the wooden door, and glanced inside. Ray's back was to him, his hair pooling down his lower back as he had started growing it out again. The water glistening off his tan skin, his raven locks clinging to his body as he looked up at the faucet over his head. Kai stripped himself of his lounge pants; having changed from his work clothes shortly after he had gotten home. Stepping into the glass shower, he took Ray by the waist and pulled him to his chest.

"I'm sorry for fighting with you…" He nuzzled his face into the back of Ray's neck. "I just want you to be safe and healthy. To protect our family…" He trailed.

"I know… I'll get help, I promise." Ray fell back into Kai's chest, enjoying the warmth he always seemed to radiate.

"Good…" Kai placed a kiss on Ray's neck, his hands traveling over Ray's stomach.

"Kai…" Ray moaned, his legs becoming weak under the touch.

"Ray." Kai breathed on his neck, trailing his tongue along the skin.

Shivers of excitement ran up Ray's back, he could feel Kai's hardness pressing against his backside; as his own was starting to form. Ray pulled away from Kai's embrace, getting to his knees and taking Kai into his mouth. Kai bit back a moan, his fingers digging into Ray's scalp as he pulled him further into his mouth. If either of them knew one thing that was a definite truth to their relationship, make up sex always seemed to be the best sex. Powerful, rough, and sweet; full of emotions each time.

Ray's apology came in the form of sucking his husband dry, on his knees with the water from the faucet beating down on his back. His husband's moans of pleasure were his acceptance to those apologies, his fingers tangling within his hair and pulling were his ways of begging for more.

Ray pulled away, licking his lips clean as he trailed up Kai's legs and hips with soft kisses and playful bites. Kai's hands had found their way to Ray's arms, pulling him up to his feet again till their lips met. Forcing his tongue to the back of Ray's throat, pulling their bodies closer as his back rested against the tile of the shower. Ray's hardness pressed between them, and he swayed his hips against Kai's; moaning between their kiss. The water turning colder than either could bear, they broke apart and avoided grabbing their towels off the racks. Ray leading Kai back into their room and to the bed, Kai's eyes not leaving Ray's ass as it sashayed in front of him teasingly.

By the time they reached their bed Kai's hardness had returned, and he pushed Ray on his back. Playful bites left teeth marks, nails left red scratches on tan and pale skin. Grunting and moans filled the air, sweat pooled around their bodies as Kai thrusted into Ray. One hand gripped at the sheets by his head, while the other clawed at Kai's shoulder. Biting back moans, he twisted and arched his back into Kai's, wrapping his legs around his waist as Kai picked up speed. Kai sat back, gripping onto Ray's waist as his speed became overbearing. Ray gripping his own hardness to get off at the same time, till a soft noise broke between their moans.

Both heads snapped towards their bedroom door, and Ray could feel Kai go soft immediately as their eyes landed on Rain standing in their doorway. Luckily for them they had a sheet drawn up around them, so she had been spared from most of their compromising position. Ray's eyes widened as he took in the sight of his daughter, his heart dropping as he became soft under his own grip.

"Uh…" Was all Ray managed to get out.

Kai had already pulled away from him, covering himself with a shirt he found on the floor and running back into the bathroom; leaving Ray there alone on the bed.

"Dammit Kai, get back here!"

"Papa?" Rain rubbed the sleep from her eyes, her vision still a bit unfocused.

"Rain… What's wrong?" Ray pulled the sheet closer to his chest, in all her seven years of life this had never happened.

"Just my fucking day, isn't it?"

"I had a bad dream." She blinked the sleep away. "Where'd daddy go?" She was on the verge of tears.

"Right here Rain, what's wrong?" Kai came back from the bathroom, dressed back in his lounge pants and he tossed Ray his pants; that had been left in the bathroom.

Rain ran over to the bed, climbing in as Ray stuffed his legs in his pants all the while staying under the sheets. Kai sat on his side of the bed, running gentle fingers through her hair.

"You need to go back to sleep." Kai coaxed, becoming transfixed on her hair; it reminded him so much of Ray's.

"I can't… She'll get me again."

Kai and Ray exchanged looks of concern, though they didn't know what to say.

"Can I sleep with you?" Tears were trickling down her cheeks, and Kai gave a questioning look to Ray; letting him make the decision.

"Yeah, c'mon." Ray sighed, setting back against his pillow and holding the sheet up for her to crawl under.

A smile spread across her lips and she dived under the covers, Kai settling down on her other side. They both laid their arms over her small frame, hands intertwining as they rested over her. Before they knew it, she was peacefully asleep, a sigh escaped both their lips as they settled down into their pillows. Kai turning off the light with the remote, the room encaging them in darkness.
