Cookie: Blagh… I've given up asking for reviews because I got none for the last chappie. I will however continue to write the fic for my own pleasure except updates will depend on mood very much.

Disclaimer: Beyblades and I are not associated apart from the obvious fact I write fics to do with its characters etc. etc.

He's not that bad a guy after all, maybe the next two hours won't go as slowly as I thought… Corinne smiled to herself as she inhaled more of the soft cologne.

"Thanks," the Asian smiled at Kai, who was now only wearing his customary black singlet vest, "aren't you cold though?"

Kai glanced at her, smirked and then got into the un-touched back seat of the half-wrecked car as if deliberately pointing out what an idiot she was.

"Thanks," repeated Corinne, only this time in a sarcastic tone. And only moments ago she had thought that the boy was beginning to get alright.

Still slightly cold she had no choice but to Join the Russian in the car, sending him a very close imitation of one of his own death glares as she sat down.

"Don't you dare think of doing anything," warned the brunette as she rested her head against the window and slowly closed her eyes, dozing off to visit the sand man.

Two hours later…

In the middle of a very sweet dream, Corinne was rudely awakened by the opening of a car door – the one she was leaning on. Her small frame crumpled onto the ground.

"Oww!" she howled, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she continued to curse whoever had awoken her, "are you so blind as to not see that I was…"

"Whao, take it easy Coco. Just checking to see if you were alive!" laughed a red-head.

"Dammit Michael, you could have tapped on the glass or something!" complained Corinne, now standing up she nursed the arm she had fallen on.

"Where would the fun be in that?" smiled Michael, "wow Coco… you really messed up old sky here (the car)."

"Ugh, I know, don't mention it to my dad alright? He would stop me racing for ever," groaned the girl, she turned to look for Kai.

"Don't worry about it, I'll get Ricky to take it to the garage. Tsk, tsk, and we only just put a new engine in there too. Whatever are you going to do to repay me?" flirted Michael, he put an arm around her shoulders.

"Why… I'm sure we'll think of something," grinned Corinne, she then gave him a punch to the side which got rid of his arm, "probably just more hours at the garage though, pervert."

Kai appeared suddenly beside Michael, they were identical in height, build and probably shoe size. He gave her a pointed look that asked to leave, obviously feeling uncomfortable in the midst of strangers.

Corinne took the hint, "Hey Mike, can we hitch a ride with you back to my place? As you can see my car is a bit… out of shape."

"Understatement, but yeah course you can, hop in," with that he opened the door to his sleek red Supra (Toyota).

It took only 20 minutes for Michael to reach Corinne's house, although there were a few close calls on his cop-radar, not many police officers understand the thrill of going 180km/h on normal roads.

The reached the two-storey plaster house with a very large window on one side and a well-planned garden, complete with water features and exotic plant-life.

"Here you go coco, will this be your stop as well or…?" the auburn haired boy turned to ask Kai.

"Here is fine," replied the Russian, stepping out of the car as quickly as he could without seeming impolite.

"Thanks Mikie, I'll see you at the garage on Sunday," said Corinne with an appreciative smile as she opened the car door.

"For you, anytime," grinned Michael before Corinne closed the door and he drove away.

"So…" Corinne looked at Kai, "want to stay in the guest bedroom?"

"Hn," replied Kai as some sort of agreement.

The Asian girl just rolled her eyes at his irresponsiveness (O.o it's actually a word!) before heading towards the thick redwood doors that were ornamented with titanium features, she made sure to make as little noise as possible and warned Kai to do the same.

Holding her breath all the way until both she and the blunette had reached the second floor where her bedroom and the guest room were situated.

"Okay, the parentals wont be able to hear us as loudly now," explained Cori as she went over to a door on her left an motioned for Kai to enter, "this is the guest bedroom, bathroom is the second door but you can easily find that, it's either the bathroom or the closet. Umm… I guess, make yourself at home?"

As soon as Kai entered the room, thanked her and closed the door she darted off back to her own room. Okay… slightly awkward. I have a Russian boy in my guest bedroom, how the hell will I explain this to dad! Oh crap, I'm still wearing his jacket, god it smells nice… What am I thinking! Okay I'll bring him a toothbrush and other stuff and give him the jacket back. And avoid awkwardness.

She grabbed some new washing up things from her bathroom and got so used to not knocking in her own house she forgot to do so… the punishment was to see a very nicely built, tall, good-looking Russian boy half naked, mid way taking his pants off.

"Oh my god Kai, I'm sorry! Put a top on," cried Corinne, she turned her head to stare at the wall while her cheeks blushed magenta and thrust the items at Kai.

"It's called knocking," replied the blunette calmly, he had his pants back on but was still topless as he caught his jacket and items.

"Okay, yep. Goodnight," squeaked Corinne, still not looking at him.

"You're pretty bashful aren't you?" grinned Kai, just before she left he added, "thanks."

She lay on her bed wondering what the heck just happened in the past few hours, wide awake after the nap in the car she sat up in her bed and began sketching. First the well carved facial structure, then these large mesmerizing silver eyes, messy gelled up hair, thin lips and before she realized what she was doing a pretty good replica of Kai ended up on the page. Shit… I've been spending way too much time with that asshole. Screw him and his fucking toned body, it's only normal for a girl my age to be attracted to someone physically. Doesn't mean I actually like him, I could never like someone so anti-social and rude!

After convincing herself well enough that Kai was not a focal point in her mind she fell asleep, only to dream of the retard…
