Hotel
Hiwatari
Chapter 2
A/N: Um, I'm kinda doing this randomly and on a whim. I don't know huge amounts of beyblade but my friend Tala does and she's inspired me to try and write something xD
Also I'm not trying to offend any Spanish people in this xD It's just Kai being an anti sod xD
Warnings: Swearing, a few sexual implications 83
Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Beyblade. Takao Aoki does 83

After his miniature confrontation with Tala, Kai found himself nearing the pool at the back of the hotel complex. He had walked off from his rival proudly, then realised he had, in fact, passed his room already. Refusing to turn around and go back, Kai had continued in this direction, taking another elevator back down and ending up on the other side of the hotel where that damn Spaniard was. It was almost like the guy had been waiting for him.
"Ahh, Mr Kai! How you enjoying your holiday? It's good, si? You lost? I can show you the way round. The pool is over there, si, and the bar not too far from there. You take care now, si?"
Kai simply ignored the wretched man. Well, tried to anyway. Shaking the man's irratic speech from his ears, he continued on, walking around the main building until he heard the sounds of... people. People enjoying themselves...
A splash of water told him he was nearing the pool.
He was tempted to walk off again, but simply sighed, trying to calm down once more. He had been sent here on holiday, and after all, it was free. He might as well try to enjoy himself.
Shielding his eyes from the relentless sunlight he had just wandered into, Kai looked around. There was a large, oddly-shaped swimming pool, as they often were in these types of places, with deckchairs and plastic loungers littering the sides. It wasn't packed - there were a few people on towels relaxing in the sun, and a small group of teens in the centre of the pool itself...
"... You're kidding me..." Kai growled, an immediate sense of resentment flooding through him as he recognised Tala amongst the chaos. He was here too?! It seemed as if he would never get away from the pest. He went to walk off again, or at least find another section of the pool to sit at, but it was too late. The redhead had already spotted him.
"Kai! Kai, c'mon over! We don't bite - Well, Suki might, but we'll protect you from her." Called Tala, waving frantically as he waded over to Kai. The Hiwatari boy was not happy. His rival was grinning fanatically - a strange characteristic for him. Tala was usually never like this, and Kai knew that well.
"Leave me alone, Tala. I'm not interested in your stupid little games." He snapped back, glaring at the half-submerged teen. Tala's grin simply widened.
Plan B...
Before his brain could process a reaction, Kai found himself being pulled head-first into the clear, blue water below. He just about managed to take a breath before he became submerged in the liquid. His now-closed eyes snapped open to see Tala grinning at him from under the water... It was only then that he saw the evil twinge that went alongside that seemingly cheerful attitude. Furious, Kai kicked himself back up to the surface and lunged for his old rival.
"What the fuck were you thinking?!" Kai yelled. His hand was locked onto the wolf boy's arm, where Tala has just managed to block in time. He would have kicked the redhead, but the water slowed him down too much. Tala was still grinning.
"I'm thinking that you need to loosen up a little." While Kai's legs were flailing slowly in the water, Tala pushed him back and into the side of the pool. Kai grit his teeth - there was no way he was losing this fight. He was still half submerged in the water, his back pressed up against the wall by Tala's strong arms...
"Wait, 'strong arms'? What the hell am I thinking!" Shock flickered into Kai's eyes as he shook the thoughts far, far away from his mind. Unfortunately, his lack of concentration for just that moment had allowed Tala to gain complete dominance over him.
"What are you doing?" Demanded the Hiwatari, his pale hair now flopping over his eyes where it was so wet. He tried and failed to push Tala off. Even though the grin had died down to a mere smile, he didn't feel any more comfortable. He knew Tala was still planning something. "Seriously, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, nothing. Just thinking you can't play water volley' with all those clothes on..."
"Wha-?!" Before he could continue, Tala's hand came swiftly up to his neck. He screwed his eyes shut, preparing for the worst... A sharp pinprick ran the length of his torso, followed by a ripping noise... Kai paused.
"What the hell has he done...?"
Tentatively, he opened an eye, only to be met by Tala's smile.
"Much better."
Slowly, he looked down. The entirety of his current wardrobe, save for his arm guards and - luckily for him - his boxers, was now floating limply in the water.
"IVANOV!!!" He screamed, jumping Tala and pushing him under the water. His cheeks were bright red from a mix of fury and embarrassment. The Hiwatari boy struggled to try and hit the redhead through the water; everything felt as if it was in slow-motion. He was also finding it hard to keep his anger at peak while everything was moving so slowly, so - as Tala went to grab him - Kai dodged round and pulled the wolf boy up by the back of the neck. Together, they surfaced, and Kai was a little surprised to hear Tala take such a deep breath. Shaking the moment of actual concern away, his growl made a comeback.
"I'll ask once more, and once only. What the hell were you thinking?"
"Like I said. You can't play water volleyball with all that crap on; it'll weigh you down." Replied Tala, an almost matter-of-fact tone in his voice. Kai frowned. That was true, but that didn't mean Tala had to completely shred his clothes up, did it? He didn't even want to play volleyball with the pest anyway!
"The way you're acting, it's almost like you're gay."
"The way you're acting, it's almost like you're scared of being gay."
"What?"
"You heard me."
"I'm not gay! I don't care what the hell you do behind closed doors but don't accuse me of being like that!" Kai had had it. Clambering out of the pool, he stormed off, fuming. Stupid Tala, stupid holiday, stupid, stupid, STUPID!!
Behind him, Tala gathered the boy's clothes together... He was smiling again. At least now he would be thinking of the possiblity...
