First of all, I'd like to point out I have changed my pen name, I was formerly Fallen-Crystal-Seraph, Now I have changed it into NineTailedAngel, to match my You-Tube and other accounts. Hope I don't confuse everybody! D: But with a fresh start with writing, I wanted a new screen name too~
Also, PLEASE read the note on my User page before questioning about my other fics, Pleeeaaaasssse?
Alright, here is the deal. I've had some serious RL issues that had made me decide to not write, but it has become, how shall I say, interesting to me again. So here we go, Chapter 2 of Full Moon :)
Disclaimer: Really now, If I owned beyblade I wouldn't be working all these long hours at DD. Instead I would be able to lie back in my posh little house all day doing nothing but writing and relaxing! :P I don't own the songs either. I merely write for fun, not profit~
"Blah" - talking

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~KAI'S P.O.V ~*~*~*~*~*~
The fact alone that I do not have blood on my hands today I think earns me the right to be given the title of Saint Kai.
"Alright! Hey Kai! We're almost finally there!" I cracked open one eye to glare at the hyped up Tyson now turned around in his seat to face me.
"Shut up or you'll wake Rei." I knew Rei couldn't hear a thing, but still, I needed an excuse to keep the fat ass quiet somehow. Tyson peered down to see Rei, who was curled up on a ball on the seat next to me, still sleeping soundly, the headphones still on his ears.
"Aw, look, Max, Sourpuss has a heart after all!"
"Whoa, Kai, you never share anything, this has to be new for you!" Now the Blonde joined in...Goody. But it's not like I could deny it. Those headphones were clearly mine...after all, they were black with a crimson foil phoenix on them, matching my I-pod. Custom Made, both of them. Cost me a pretty penny, but hey, what the fuck else am I really going to spend all my money on? Even though I do like to have the best, I'm not one to openly flaunt my wealth, because if I do, I get money hungry leeches all over me.
"But he does share his bad attitude and moods, do they count?"
"Fuck off, Granger." Tyson looked like he was about to retort, but he better be thanking his lucky stars his attention span is as short as his train of thought, or he'd be missing a few limbs. His new focus seemed to be the Hotel, as we had just pulled into the front of it. I rolled my eyes at the two little idiots, as soon as the car pulled to a stop they were out of it, Max talking to the bellboys to get our luggage sent up to our rooms. I handed them Rei's travel on as well, but I refused to give them mine. I had things in there I did NOT need anyone else to see, nor did I really want anyone else touching my stuff. I reached a hand out to shake Rei to wake him up, when a certain sound had reached my ears...
Purring.
He. Was. Purring. My hand faltered a bit.
And I liked it.
Good Lord I'm going insane.
If I woke him up, It would stop. And he looked so peaceful, the headphones on his ears, curled up to keep out the cold...
And I did want him to rest, so he wouldn't get sick.
Which left me only one choice...
Dammit.
Letting out a sound of frustration, I took off my gauntlets, placing the sheaths on both blades before putting them in my bag. Shouldering the bag, I stepped out of the car, stretching for a moment. I took a deep breath, then gently turned and took the sleeping boy into my arms bridal style, kicking the door shut behind me. Walking up to the brats, I saw them gaping at me like two dead fish. I placed a look of utter detachment and annoyance on my face. Might as well nip this in the bud, I knew what Blondie was thinking by the look on his face, and it was...disturbing...to see that look. The look of someone who knows, or at least thinks he knows something he really shouldn't. Dammit. I pray that is just his sugar high acting up again.
"What? He wouldn't get up." Great. Now I got them both grinning at each other like the Cheshire Cat...wait. What the bloody hell is it with me and cat references today? "Where are we going?"
"We have Room 225 on Floor 29, It's a two room suite, and we are booked for today and tonight, then we leave for Salem in the morning."
"Whatever." I shouldered past both the brats, intent on getting Rei into bed before I get anymore of those looks. I could only let out an internal sigh once we were in the elevator, leaning back and closing my eyes.
"Soooooo Kai-" Leave me alone, Fatass.
"Rei wouldn't wake up...or did you not want to wake him up?" You too, Blondie. I refused to take part in that discussion, so I kept silent. But after only a minute or two in the elevator, so Kami help me that had better start worshiping the ground Rei walks on, because he is the only reason I don't throttle them both into permanent silence. That, and we had arrived at our floor. I practically kicked them out of the elevator before following them, a growl brewing in the back of my throat. Max jiggled the key into the lock, and then we were in.
"Not too bad, I think." Max was right. The walls were painted a slightly ivory tinted white color, the carpet a light blue. A huge space formed the living room, set with couches and chairs, and a huge TV. The space also held a kitchenette, a cozy table linking the two areas together. A small alcove to the right held the two doors that must go to the bedrooms.
All in all, not to bad. I choose one of the two doors, walking into a room, leaving the two idiots to go chatter on about the T.V, letting their voices muffle as I closed the door, sitting my bag on the floor. It was done in the same scheme as the main room, abet smaller, with only two beds and two bedside tables in the room. Gently holding onto Rei with one arm, yet firmly so he doesn't fall, I pull away the blankets on one of the beds, lowering the sleeping neko-jinn into it, recovering him with the blanket. I felt a small smile twitch my lips as he instantly curled back up into a ball. Turning away to leave, I was stopped by a tug on my scarf, and I let my eyes trail to see what held it.
That little idiot had somehow gotten my scarf wrapped around his arms, and was clutching it tight in his hands. A sigh escaped me.
Rei was...unique. He had this ability to draw out emotions in me no one else could. He conveyed something exotic, something beast-like, even, yet had a temperament that showed he had maturity and kindness. He was one of a kind, far more precious them gold or gems...because even the largest, most flawless diamond was ugly and clouded compared to his beautiful heart.
I shake my head. How did I get so sentimental? I'm supposed to be strong, not only on the outside, but on the inside as well.
But yet...when I'm with him, I can let my guard down just a little, I can be somewhat human...
I lean over him and let my fingers trail across his face ever so lightly, a small frown on my lips. He was as cold as ice still...Perhaps if I...
No, I couldn't.
'But what if he gets sick?' My heart seems to ask. 'Don't you care for him at all?'
Of course I do, he is my teammate, and as much as I would never admit it in public, he is one of my few good friends.
'Ah, but isn't he something more, Kai?'
...Is he?
'Don't play stupid, Kai, it does not suit you.'
You know nothing, heart. I forsook you long ago. I have no heart, I am cold, strong, emotionless...
'Lonely...'
I am not lonely. I am perfectly happy by myself. I always have been, you cannot depend on anyone in the world, they always abandon and hurt you.
'Ah, that's not true...you do care for some, Kai. Tala, Bryan, Spencer, Ian...your brothers in arms, you would all defend each other to the death. And grudgingly, you must admit you do hold respect for Tyson, Max and Kenny.'
Hn. Whatever.
'But Rei...he is different, Da?
I...suppose...I don't feel the same way about him like I do my 'brothers', nor do I feel the same way about him like I do the other Bladebreakers...
What does Rei really mean to you then, Kai?'
...What does Rei mean to me? I sighed softly, rubbing my temples.
I am going insane...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~REI'S P.O.V~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When I first get up from sleep, my thoughts aren't exactly coherent. Like right now.
All I know is that this pillow smells fantastic, like spices and bonfire smoke. That and something else, something that I just cannot recognize...
I feel something being pulled off my ears and I frown at the sudden loss of peacefulness, nuzzling deeper into my pillow, which was now moving. But, pillows don't move, and aren't usually this hard...
"So Sleeping Beauty finally awakens?"
I freeze my movements, my eyes snapping open to dart all around to see what was going on, before they met two amused crimson ones.
Kai. Hiwatari. Is in my bed. And apparently, my hard pillow I ended up nuzzling was his rather sexy washboard abs.
Goddess help me.
"Um...Y-yes?" Real smooth, Kon. Kai rolled his eyes, propping himself on his elbows, which would have caused my face to slip to a rather, uh, interesting position had I not propped myself up as well.
"I was going to rest in the other bed, but you took my scarf hostage. So I just laid down here." He said, pointing down to my arms. Kai carried me? Why was I not awake for that, dammit? Although I bet it had to do with the cold and the fact I was up for practically twelve hours beforehand.
And I took his scarf hostage...? I looked down.
It is safe to say that I could blush as red as a rose, I know I did as I tried to push all thoughts of scarf-bondage out of my head. Mmmm, scarf bondage...
Wait, no! Bad Rei, bad!
I quickly untangled myself, sliding over to the other side of the bed under the cover of stretching, earning an arched eyebrow from Kai, who seemed like he wanted to say something, but just shook his head, turning to get off the bed. As soon as he got out the door, I darted to fill his spot, wrapping myself deep within the blankets, relishing in the warmth he left and his scent.
What? I'm part cat, after all. Give me a warm place to sleep in and I'm all over it like Tyson at a buffet. The fact there was still Kai-scent might as well have been the Bar, it's very...intoxicating. I felt something hard and lumpy, underneath the pillow, and pulling it out, I rolled my eyes. It was Kai's iPod, the battery dangerously low, yet it was the song that made me smirk.
"Fucking Phoenix..." I mutter, a grin tugging at my lips while I got out of bed, heading for the bathroom, the dual meaning to that causing my cheeks to redden again. I need a long hot shower to think things over...
And left on the bed, you could faintly hear through the headphones...
"I wanna play with fire..."
And there it is, Chapter two of Full Moon :3
If anyone wants to know the song that the last line is from, I have made an AMV with it, If anyone wants to watch it, search on Youtube, Rei Wants To Play With Fire ~ KaixRei and it will be under my user name, NineTailedAngel. I have a few other AMV's on there as well for your viewing pleasure. :3
So please, as always, Read, Review, and check out my AMV!
On a side note, I've been gone a while...how the hell do I fix my submissions? the paragraph tabs are all gone, everything is all wonky...
