Thank you for the hits. I'm surprised this gained any kind of viewers, considering my horrible summary. Anyway, on with the fic.
Disclaimer:
I don't own Beyblade whatsoever. I just write for the (hopefully) enjoyment of others. I own nothing, aside from certain Original Characters.
Ages:
Kai = 17
Rei = 16
Tala = 17
Lee = 19 (I have to make him several years older than Rei just so he'll seem more like a 'big brother' type XD)
Bryan = 18
Mariah = 14 (She's this young because Rei is only 16, so I had to give them a semi-different age setting)
WARNING(s): Language, Yaoi (duh), and Kai's dad is a pedophile to the extreme. HOWEVER! There will be NO incest in this. That scene in the last chapter (which probably scared most of my viewers away) will be explained in this chapter. I promise you, NO incest.
Depending on the readers' wishes I might add a lemon/smut somewhere into this fic. Who it will be between? I don't know.
Enjoy~
"You did well, Kai." Voltaire said with a smirk. "I'm quite pleased, actually. Who knew you were such a great actor? And to the boy you seem to like so much, eh?"
Kai gritted his teeth and did his best to ignore his grandfather, but the old man continued, pleased he was getting on Kai's nerves.
"He must be so hurt, rejected by someone like you." Voltaire's eyes darkened. "Someone he no-doubt trusted completely."
The younger Russian ran his fingers through his soft, two-tone hair and held himself back. Lashing out against his grandfather would anger him if anything, and he might hurt Rei.
Hopefully he got my message, Kai thought. What if the Chinese boy hadn't? What if...he thought Kai hated him for real? No, Rei was too smart.
"That boy is rather interesting, I must say." Kai turned around to look at his intrigued grandfather. "He's a nekojin, which means part of him is, well, feline."
Kai's eyes widened. "Does that mean...?" He refused to finish his question, especially around his grandfather, though the old man already knew what he was going to ask and laughed emptily.
"Yes, he goes into heat**." Voltaire answered.
"How did you know that was my question?" Kai asked suspiciously, narrowing his eyes.
His grandfather disliked his own grandson being gay despite the fact that Voltaire was gay himself. It also disgusted Kai how the man didn't mind going after teenagers instead of men his own age.
Voltaire chuckled, "Boy, I've lived far longer than you. And I've got to say, if I was in your position, I would've asked as well."
"Pedophile." Kai murmured, ignoring the warning glance his grandfather sent him.
The man licked his lips, almost savagely, like he was imagining some sort of feast. "When such a young, sweet boy is in heat, I'm sure everyone at your school is going to try to get at him."
Voltaire stood up, as if making to exit the room, but he turned around with a sick smile on his lips. "But who says it will be just his school mates?"
Kai spat on the carpet as if to cleanse himself from what he just heard. His grandfather wanted Rei. It was disgusting. The only good thing about this man was that he didn't approve of incest.
If any new servant had been watching 'that scene' from yesterday, they would've thought Voltaire was about to...well, fuck his own grandson. But honestly, the man was going to spank Kai.
It still sickened the youth to his stomach, but he was thankful nonetheless that his grandfather wasn't sexually abusive. Yet, anyway. Things might change if Rei got a little to close.
"Speaking of Rei..." Kai mumbled, turning on his heel towards the door himself.
But a servant was already way ahead of him and handed him Rei's address. Surprised, Kai looked up at her. She was the shy Chinese woman from yesterday, the one who'd been speaking with Rei.
"He asked me to write down his address," The woman explained nervously, not wanting to anger Kai.
Kai said nothing, but gave her a nod of thanks and continued on his way out. He passed by various servants, and even a tall, strange man. Kai didn't recognize him, though he was cursing in Russian under his breath.
Kai sent him an odd look, but the man kept walking and ignored the boy completely.
Shrugging, Kai pushed away the coat offered to him and exited the mansion.
He was going to see Rei.
And for once, Kai Hiwatari was nervous.
"What's that?" Mariah, Rei's younger sister, asked curiously as she watched her older brother unfold a carefully creased piece of paper.
Rei rolled his eyes and scooted away from the girl's prying eyes. "Sorry Mari, can't see this one."
"Dàn xiōngdì!(But brother!)" She protested, pouting when he shook his head even firmer.
Finally, Mariah gave up and skipped away, her previous spot in the room becoming re-occupied by none other than Rei's older brother, Lee. The older youth was extremely protective of his younger brother and would seriously hurt anyone who messed with him.
"What is that, Rei?" asked Lee, though his voice held suspicion instead of curiosity.
Rei swallowed nervously, avoiding his brother's piercing gaze. "Nothing."
"That didn't sound very suspicious, now did it?" Lee said sarcastically. He sighed. "Look, Rei. I might be protective of you -"
"Very much so," Rei cut in quickly.
Lee rolled his eyes. "But that doesn't mean I'm against you being in a relationship. How's Byran, anyway?"
"Fine." Rei whispered quietly.
"What?" Lee squinted as if he couldn't understand what Rei was saying.
"I said fine!" The Chinese youth shouted, instantly regretting it when Lee's eyes showed signs of anger, but also sadness.
"Xiǎodì yǒu shé me bùduì? (Little brother, what's wrong?)" Lee asked, his prime emotion being sympathy. He obviously thought that his little brother's relationship was on the rocks, so to speak.
Rei bit his lip. He loved Bryan, but maybe not as a lover anymore, like a close friend. Was he cheating on him? Just because he'd met a good looking new student, he was going to just dump Kai?
The nekojin's eyes stung with tears. He felt like a traitor, doing something so horrible to Bryan. The older boy probably still loved him, while Rei was too busy fantasizing about someone he just met.
Bryan had been there for him, when his parents had passed. He'd be homeless; on the streets, if it wasn't for the Russian. So why could he not repay his kindness with endearment and love?
"Hey, Rei!" Mariah popped her head into the living room. "There's a guy here to see you. His name's Kai, and he has cool hair!"
Rei smiled slightly at his sister's third sentence and stood up. He didn't know why Kai was here, but he was happy to see him nonetheless. Despite his thoughts of Bryan, he couldn't help himself.
He wanted to see Kai again.
And he hoped the Russian felt the same exact way.
"Rei." Kai was standing in the hallway, leaning against the wall casually with his arms crossed.
The Chinese youth smiled and gestured with his hand for Kai to follow him back into the living room. He rolled his eyes as Mariah watched eagerly. She already had some kind of a crush on Kai.
Kai was seemingly gay, however, so it was going to be Mariah's dreams being crushed if anything.
Rei chuckled at the thought before sitting down in his previous spot. He patted the ground next to him, hinting that he wanted Kai to sit next to him.
The Russian rolled his eyes and smirked before taking his place next to the nekojin, who looked pleased. Lee, however, did not. Mariah was the first to notice this and burst out laughing, wiping tears from her eyes.
"Who's this?" Lee asked with his usual suspicious air.
"Kai Hiwatari." Rei answered quickly.
Mariah squealed. "THE Kai Hiwatari?!"
The raven haired boy looked confused. "Is Kai famous or something?"
The pinkette(1) stopped her parading and shook her head playfully. "No, silly! But he IS the son of one of the richest men ever!"
Kai rolled his eyes, "I'm not proud of it. I can assure you of that."
"Why is he here?" was Lee's next question. The older nekojin had a bad habit of firing question after question when it came to people Rei hung around, especially if it was someone he'd just met.
And, considering his brother's homosexuality, a guy. Especially a guy.
"We're friends." Rei sighed, giving Kai an apologetic look.
Mariah nodded her head, silently agreeing with Rei. "Sorry, Kai. My brother isn't the most...well, nicest person you're ever going to meet." She giggled. "Especially when it comes to Rei-Rei."
Kai raised an eyebrow at the nickname, but choose to say nothing about it. He agreed with Rei's sister (who had said her name was Mariah), though. Their brother was quite protective of his younger brother.
Between him and Bryan, Kai began to wonder just how many people didn't want him to be with Rei.
Like he cared what they thought, though.
"Just friends?" Lee still look suspicious, though thankfully (in Kai's mind), Mariah and Rei's constant insisting was beginning to ware him down and he looked as if he was about to leave.
"Yes, Dàgē (brother)." Rei said fondly, rolling his eyes.
Lee nodded his head, standing up in order to exit the room. Though, much to Kai's amusement, stopped to give the Russian a warning look. The look didn't scare Kai; he'd dealt with worse than what this guy could offer.
"Sorry about him..." The raven haired boy sighed before smiling and turning to Kai. "So, why are you here?"
"I wanted to see you." Kai said quietly, smirking when Rei blushed a soft pink. "Did you get my note?"
Rei nodded and shyly held out the piece of paper, then he smiled once again. "I knew you were faking, though. It wasn't like you at all."
Kai chuckled and shook his head, "You trust too easily, my friend."
"And you trust too little." Rei countered.
Mariah quickly skipped over to the two and sat down excitedly. "What if we all went out somewhere? Like, the mall, maybe?"
Rei pretended to recoil in mock disgust. "The mall?!"
"Yes, the mall!" Mariah insisted, already brandishing her purse and sunglasses. She then lifted up her frames and winked. "It could be like a date~"
The two boys looked at each other in confusion, thinking Mariah was referring to her and Kai. But the pink haired girl noticed their expressions and giggled once again.
"I mean between you and Rei Rei, Kai!" Mariah announced, squealing when Rei blushed and Kai smiled slightly.
"Well, I suppose we could go..." Rei looked at Kai as if to ask him if he agreed.
Kai shrugged. "Why not?"
Mariah squealed with joy at the prospect of going to the mall and quickly ran out the door, not bothering to wait for her brother and his friend. Rei and Kai heard Lee exiting the kitchen and both snickered.
Quickly, Kai grabbed Rei's arm and yanked him out of the door before slamming it shut. Rei found himself laughing at Kai's antics, but the Russian pretended to look serious, just so he could hear Rei laugh even more.
It was a beautiful, sweet laugh.
But something about it...sounded pained, as if it was becoming harder and harder for Rei to laugh each day. This thought bothered Kai deeply. Was there something going on with Rei?
It couldn't be his family; he seemed pretty at peace with them.
Wait a moment...
But he said he lived with Bryan!
Rei noticed Kai's suspicious facial expression and shook his head quickly. "That was Bryan's house, Kai. He just isn't home yet."
"I thought you said he was waiting for you?" Kai asked slowly.
The nekojin smiled. "Mariah got him to leave in order to get some things for dinner, so that way I could have some peace."
"You don't like your boyfriend?" Kai was thankful Rei wasn't paying attention very much, or else the Chinese boy would've caught how happy Kai sounded at the idea of Rei disliking his boyfriend.
"I...I do." The nekojin replied reluctantly.
"Hurry up boys!" Mariah yelled from in front of them.
Both smiled and rushed to catch up with Mariah.
If this feels rushed, forgive me. My area had a tornado yesterday so my mind is still a little shaken. Anyways, on with the Q&A. Also, sorry if Kai's grandfather is too much of a pedo. XD But it's important to the angst-y plot, I assure you.
**Heat. If you've read any sort of Inuyasha or any other anime involving (Yu Yu Hakusho is another good example) characters with some kind of animal blood in them type fan fics, then you'd know. If you do not know still, it's best to look it up on Google as it is slightly hard to explain. If I tried to explain, it would make no sense. XD
But in a nutshell, heat is when one animal mates with the other. So, this fic COULD be Mpreg, but I don't want to risk that unless the readers' don't mind it as I know some readers highly dislike Mpreg and I wish to offend no one.
(1) Pinkette. Mariah has pink hair, so it's like brunette, but with pink instead. Get it? XD
Translations:
Dàn xiōngdì! (Chinese) = But brother! (English)
Xiǎodì yǒu shé me bùduì? (Chinese) = What's wrong, little brother? (English)
Dàgē (Chinese) = Brother (English)
Sorry I use Chinese and Russian words in this; I just felt like it would make this fic slightly more realistic if Kai and Rei (as well as others like Tala, Bryan, Lee, etc.) occasionally used their native languages.
R&R! Please be gentle in the reviews, because as I said before, I'm only 12 and recently went through a tornado (and I'm sure it's not the last one for this summer/spring).
