Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade, this fanfic is for the lolz.

Hey I'm back with another KaiHil. I never wrote a beach episode before, well maybe a very short one in my other story but hey! it's a KaiHil family beach chapter!

P.S. I'm making it up to you guys by making this chapter long... (and probably bore you in some parts)


Take 7: Beach

It was of rare opportunity for the whole BBA Revolution team to reunite. A beach barbecue, as suggested by Tyson, would be perfect enough for them to have a good time and catch up what their friends have been up to. It would have been perfect if one of them was actually here and despite what Hilary say that something important came up and he won't be coming, it puts Tyson in a really foul mood.

Ray tries to sooth his friend by defending Kai in the most unbiased way as possible "Well, he is the CEO of his company and he's making a good image of himself to his business partners."

Tyson thinks about it. His eyes focused on the meat he's grilling, the sweet smell of cooked pork meat that he marinated overnight with his special seasoning. He was hoping the smell could distract him from being angry at Kai for not coming at their mini reunion. But it wasn't helping much, the former world champ was disappointed at Kai for putting his work first before his friends and family. Speaking of his family...

'I wonder how Hilary put up with all of this?' Tyson thought, he looks over to his side and watch Hilary happily chat with Mariah and his wife, the children playing on the sand and from the looks of it, his son was challenging Gou on who could build a bigger sand castle and Max was judging. "Ray could you take over the grill for a moment?" Tyson handed him the tongs and headed towards one particular person.

Mariah has been bugging Hilary for what seems to be a whole day in regards to showing off her swimsuit that the pink haired woman herself had picked for her when they shopped for swimsuits "I don't know what's the problem Hilary just take that towel off."

"I can't! it's so revealing" Hilary complained. Never in her life she wore such skimpy clothes and in a public place no less. She imagined how Kai would react if he was here and saw her in what she thinks is a 'scandalous' two piece bikini. With that in mind, a part of her feels a mixed emotion of excitement and shyness if her husband was really here and see his reaction.

"Oh Hilary, there's no need to be shy. Look at Ayako, she's practically flaunting her beauty" she pointed at Tyson's wife who currently was enjoying sun bathing and at the same time ignoring nearby onlookers ogling at her.

"but Mariah" Hilary whines,

"No buts!" Her pink haired friend tugs her towel in an attempt to remove it but Hilary has a good grip. Eventually their little tug of war ended when Mariah successfully remove her towel and Hilary's swimsuit finally exposed.

"whoa!"

The two women look at the rather shock expression on Tyson's face when he saw Hilary's revealing swimsuit. At first glance, Tyson was completely stunned at what he saw but quickly composes himself when he notice a small victorious smirk forming on Mariah's face, it was the reaction she was expecting.

Tyson clears his throat, he purposely turns his eyes away from her and settle at his wife instead "Ahem... uhm.. nice outfit Hilary." He wonders what Mariah was thinking when she forces Hilary to wear something so skimpy. If Kai could see this, he would...

'Hmmm...'

An idea struck!

Tyson mischievously smiles at Hilary, the woman in question starts to get uncomfortable "What?"

"You know... it's a darn shame Kai isn't here to see you in that. As his bestfriend, I'm doing him a huge favor..." he put out his phone and there was a flash "by taking a picture of you!"

"Tyson!" Hilary stood to grab the phone but Tyson was taller, this leaves Hilary rather helpless as she pathetically tries to reach his phone . Tyson snickered as he began texting his friend and sending that picture he took moments earlier.

At the top floor building of Hiwatari HQ. There was a meeting going on, Kai was in a middle of the monthly annual report and listens to managers from each department conducting the usual gain and loss of revenue. One of those loss, was their failing tourism department that was suffering lower income even worse than last year. One of the executives suggest of closing it down and invest on something else, another argued that in doing so would lead to hundreds of employees jobless and the consequences of putting the company in a bad light along with it.

vrrr!...vrrr!

Kai's attention was interrupted by his phone vibrating. While everyone was busy with their heated discussion, Kai discreetly looks down and saw Tyson leaving him a text message.

T: Hey Kai! guess what's Hilary is wearing at the beach today

There was a winking emoticon at the end of the sentence. Seconds after that, a picture of his wife appeared and Kai saw what she was wearing. His mind literally scream 'Is that even a swimsuit!?'

One of his executives notice his discomfort "Mr. Hiwatari are you feeling well? your face is turning red."

Recovering quickly from his shock and hiding his apparent visible blush, Kai coolly answers "Everything is fine. Please continue." With a nod, the meeting went on and while they were all busy, Kai secretly texting Tyson as quickly as he could.

K: What the hell is she wearing!?

T: A swimsuit duh!

His left eye twitched in annoyance and wonders why he's friends with an idiot.

K: I KNOW it's a swimsuit moron! Tell her to change into something more conservative.

T: tough luck! try telling that to Mariah.

K: then put a towel around her! or put on some large shirt!

T: Do you know how scary Mariah can be?

Kai felt a huge headache coming knowing there's nothing he can do and Tyson is too much of a coward to face Mariah. Unless he ditch this meeting and went over there so no perverts with dirty intentions will look at his wife. Kai starts to deeply contemplate of actually leaving this meeting but doing so would make him look like a bad boss. He really needs to end this meeting early. But how?

There was another text from Tyson.

T: I think some guys are asking her if she wants them to rub sun tan lotion over her back

'OH. HELL. NO!'

"Mr. Hiwatari?"

"Hm?"

"We would like to know what your decision will be regarding our tourism sector"

They waited for their boss to make the final decision, Kai on the other hand paid less attention to their debate earlier since he was preoccupied in texting. He remembered that it has something to do about closing down one of their departments and massive loss of jobs. Kai doesn't want to make the wrong choice in this one. Thinking deeply, he has second thoughts of doing a risky and costly move but at the moment it doesn't matter. Kai hopes that this might work.

"We will not close down the tourism sector"

The executive who recently had the idea of shutting down their failing department, objected "But Mr. Hiwatari!" Kai shuts him up and coldly glares at him "Let me finish." The man gulps and quietly sat down.

Kai continues "Times are changing. Tourism is a highly changeable industry, we must be prepared to adjust our marketing strategies. Therefore, I want a study to be conducted and surveys done. I'll be expecting results, Don't disappoint me. Am I clear?"

Like soldiers obeying their commanders' order, all agreed "Yes sir."

"Then this concludes our meeting." Satisfied, he gave a small sigh 'finally! now I can catch up with them'

"Mr. Hiwatari?"

It was Satoshi, his secretary. From the looks on his face, Kai figures there would be bad news. "What?"

"You have another schedule coming up about an hour. Kaiser Corp. has a business deal with you"

'Oh great...' Kai internally moaned. He clearly doesn't want to waste any more time. Then an idea hit him "Tell me, Do they have a SKYPE account?" Not sure what Kai was planning, his secretary thought for a moment and nods "Yes they do."

"I'm going somewhere important and I need to be there fast. I'm taking the helicopter"

"W-what!?"

Earlier...

Tyson snorted a laugh when he received a reply from Kai "Hey Hils, Kai told me to put a towel on you or a shirt." He eyed at the short brown haired woman crossing her arms and visibly annoyed by his antics but before she could say anything, Mariah interrupts as she overheard Tyson.

"No! she will not cover herself with a towel or wear a shirt!" from the tone of her voice, Tyson sense it's some kind of warning and he better do what she says. So he secretly texted Kai of how scary Mariah can be. When Kai didn't give a reply, Tyson thought it would be a good idea to joke around and text him about guys hitting on Hilary knowing full well of how Kai easily gets jealous and protective.

"Tyson just what are you texting to Kai now?"

Looking innocent, Tyson smiles "Nothing"

"Can you stop bothering him? If his meeting would be over early Kai will surely catch up with us"

'Ah yes about that...' He remembered the reason why he wanted to talk to Hilary in the first place. "Does this always happen? I mean... Does it bother you at all when there are times where he isn't around?" It was an innocent question and Tyson was just curious.

"Oh please, Kai was much worse years ago when I wasn't pregnant with Mikoto"

Tyson was surprised at this little info "Really?"

Hilary recalls the years ago when she thought her marriage with Kai was falling apart "Our marriage drifted for a long while but he later realized his mistake and apologized. We decide to works things out, well more on his part anyway." She didn't include the part about the separation, it was a sensitive and private issue, Hilary didn't feel like sharing it to anyone. Only her husband and parents knew. Gou at that time was too young to remember or understand what was happening, he only remembered asking why they are not living with his father anymore and the only thing Hilary could say to his son was that they need to be away for a little while.

"Oh... so now this is just normal?"

"Yeah"

"Are we gonna wait for him till sunset?"

Hilary laughs softly "Maybe, but if he's really late then I have to tell him to make it up for all of us"

The former beyblade champion smile at the idea "I would love for that to happen"

Mariah placed her hand on Ray's shoulder and he turns to face her. "Ray can you help me put this on my back?" She said with a sweet smile on her face. Not wanting to disappoint her and missing this opportunity, Ray looks for Tyson so he can have someone to handle cooking the barbecue. He spots him chatting with Hilary and calls him. "Tyson! it's your turn to cook the barbecue. Mariah wants me to put some lotion on her"

"Alright I'm coming" Tyson excused himself from Hilary and went towards Ray. Before the chinese blader could leave, he left a small warning. "And make sure you won't eat them before us." He said, recalling last time Tyson was left alone barbecuing from their previous outing.

Tyson was a bit offended and exclaims "No I won't!" When Ray left, Tyson whispers to himself "maybe a little nibble" he took one stick of the skewed meat and starts eating. Hilary was left alone, she occupied herself watching her children play with Rin and Makoto. The children where still in a middle of their intense sand castle building contest and Max was cheering them on. Her view was blocked when she saw a man standing in front from where she was sitting.

Judging from his looks, the man looks like a bodybuilder who hangs out at a gym just near the beach since his skin is so tanned and has sun bleached hair "Excuse me miss but do you need some help with that sun tan lotion? I'll be happy give a pretty lady an extra helping hand."

Hilary politely declines "No, thank you."

But he wasn't the type to give up so easily "Come on, I'm not gonna bite. What one could hurt?"

"No," Hilary said quickly "It's just that I-"

Her son came to her side protectively and glaring at the stranger as if he want to set him on fire "Mom is he bothering you?" Gou immediately ditched the contest he had with Makoto and Rin when he saw a man talking to his mother and sense her discomfort. Like a dutiful son that he is, he feels it's his responsibility to look after his mother and younger sister while his father isn't around. Ray and Mariah took notice as they watched the scene but didn't do anything since the man didn't do anything harmful, yet.

"Whoa! you got a kid?!" the man was surprised to know that the woman he's talking to was a mother which means she must be married.

"Mommy, who is this man?" Gou's little sister came later and hugged her mother's left arm while Gou was standing on his mother right side with his arms folded, still glaring at the man. Hilary mentally noted that he really takes after his father.

The man looks around the area and looks for Hilary's husband, he checks on Tyson but he doesn't resemble anything on Gou, nor any males in his close vicinity. Curiously he asks "Where is this dad of yours anyway?"

Something in the sky caught Mikoto's eyes and pointed up. The man however have mistakenly took this as a child interpretation that their father is in heaven. The man blinks in mild confusion "He died?"

A sudden strong gust of wind followed and everyone covered their eyes from the strong wind and sand flying on their faces. A sound of rotating wings from a helicopter caught their attention and look up. The little girl smiled when she notice a familiar person in a black suit coming down via rope ladder and it took off when Kai landed safely on the ground.

"Daddy!" she screams in excitement and ran towards him.

Kai bend down and picks up his daughter, she was a bit wet from swimming earlier but Kai didn't care. "You made it!" His daughter hugs him tightly, clearly happy that he's actually here and Kai responded his youngest child with his trademark "Hn." He calmly walks towards Hilary when he spotted her. Kai also notice another person who is clearly do not belong in their group 'The hell is that guy?' Kai guessed that this must be the guy Tyson texted earlier who was hitting on her.

"Is that your husband?"

Hilary was too busy to look at the nervousness of his face because she was happy "Yes"

"Is he from the Yakuza?" the man ask again. He just saw a man came down from a helicopter and was the only one wearing a black suit in a beach, practically standing out like a sore thumb, and he was wearing dark shades to go along his attire. So, he really look like a gangster just like in those old movies.

"My dad's a Yakuza boss"Gou answered for him and was pretty proud when he said it.

Hilary rolled her eyes. People would assume Kai is some Yakuza boss, she thought maybe Kai possessed some kind of aura that what the mafia carries and Kai was doing a good job at it. "I remembered, I have something else to do. BYE!" the man quickly ran off before Kai could finally reach him and interrogate him, threateningly.

Ray greets him first "Kai! you finally made it man"

Tyson drapes his arm around his shoulders "Leave it to Kai to make a dramatic entrance. You're such a show-off"

"Yeah, whatever..." Kai puts his daughter down and his attention was on Hilary and he narrowed his eyes at his wife's swimsuit. Hilary blinked "Erm... Kai, is there something wrong?"

To be honest, Kai's mind was filled with the image of his wife moving with her two piece swimsuit in a sensual manner and how her breast follows her movements. It was a major turn on for him, but there is no way he'd let any man seeing her in this. Everyone was confused to why he suddenly took off his black jacket of his business suit, they thought it was because of the heat. But when Kai drapes it over Hilary, covering her completely from the waist down, they all understood.

Mariah wasn't completely at all happy "Oh c'mon Kai! I'm doing you a favor here. Don't you want Hilary to show off her feminine beauty out for everyone to see?"

Ray tries to calm her down "Kai just doesn't want any men looking at Hilary because she really looks good in her swimsuit. Am I right Kai?" He gave Kai a wink. The chinese beyblader always has a way to read his mind.

"What an overprotective husband" Tyson teased

"Hey idiot the barbecue is burning" Kai said, diverting his overprotective issue to the burning meat in which Tyson quickly ran to save his precious meat before it taste like charcoal "Oh no!"

The meal went on and everyone had a good time chatting and reminiscing old times. Gou proudly tells his father how he went for his mother's rescue when a man appeared and bothered her. Kai rewarded him by affectionately ruffling his wet hair and tells him how proud he is of his eldest. Gou took his father's words seriously when he told him to chase away boys who are trying to date his sister. Hilary jokingly said that Kai was starting to act like her own father.

Kai insisted his wife to keep wearing his jacket, while Hilary appreciated the sweet gesture, a long persuasion from her that she doesn't need to be covered by his jacket and Kai reluctantly agreed, only for him to put his arm around her waist rather possessively. The only time he hadn't have his arm around her was when he got a Skype call and was out for almost an hour. His caller from the Kaiser corp. was confused as to why he was sweating and doing at the beach wearing clothes that aren't exactly for beach wear, eventually they agreed reschedule a proper meeting because after all they are desperate to seal a deal with Kai and doesn't want to put him in a bad mood.

After the phone call, Kai finally took off his white long sleeve shirt. Tyson conveniently have a spare trunks to give him and when he was done changing, Kai almost immediately went to his wife after passing males were giving her wolf whistles. Wary that Kai did not like it when other males look at her lustfully Hilary just laughed softly as Kai encircle her waist with his arms, she relaxed under his warm protective embrace. They stayed that way and watched their children playing by the water.

Their moment was ruined when Tyson appeared with a volleyball. "Hey Hils! since there's eight of us why don't we have a a beach battle." The reason he asks Hilary first was because Kai tends to ruin the fun.

"We're not playing volleyball"

Tyson playfully retorts "Kai you're not Hilary"

"Hon, it'll be fun" Hilary urged his stubborn husband. The two of them eventually got into a stare off and Hilary was winning by efficiently using her effective tactic when winning an argument against Kai, he never got a chance against her cute pout and puppy dog eyes.

"Tsk. Fine"

The adults finally had their volleyball game. Max suggest they should do rock-paper-scissors to divide eight people into two teams. Kai's awful luck led him to be stuck with Tyson, Kenny and Max while Ray was with all the women. Tyson was a ball hogger, Kenny was pretty much useless since he can't do well with physical activities, Max kept yelling and arguing to Tyson to share the ball.

"I got this!"

"Tyson the ball was in my area!"

Kai's patience with his team was running low, they lacked teamwork, if this was a beybattle they could easily win but this was a different sport and they were losing. Kai couldn't help but notice some nearby onlookers (mostly males) watching their game. They weren't really interested in their game, they were more focused watching the females. What really attracted the males' attention was how their bikini show off their curvy hips and how their breasts would bounce at every movement...

There was no way in hell he'll allow this to continue. Especially because Hilary was part of their ogling fest.

In one bold move, Kai pushed the ball hogging Tyson away when the ball was heading for his way, he gave the ball one hard spike, with a smirk it aimed directly at his target. It hit directly at the guy whom Kai perceives as having the most perverted looking, right at his face. One of his friends stops from what they are doing and looks for the person responsible.

"Hey man! what the hell was that for?"

Kai apologized, in a most threatening manner, almost like he wants to tear them limb from limb, his face doesn't even look apologetic because he looked more like a serial killer "Sorry... my hand slipped."

The guys who were ogling earlier gulps and drags their unconscious friend away from the area "It's okay man" he gave out a nervous laugh "hehehe.. Accident happens!"

Kai was still wearing the same demeanor while talking to them "Yeah, an accident. Though it would be unfortunate if there's' another one." He specifically made it clear for them to get the message.

"But dude! he knocked out Jin on purpose" the other guy who was dragging their friend Jin, complained.

"Shut up if you don't wanna end up in the hospital" he hissed at his companion.

Tyson, while still lying on the sand, examined Kai's interactions with the young men and understood his friend's action. Kai was being protective, really over-zealously protective to the point of pushing his bestfriend and hit a pervert with a ball to the face. Tyson wasn't the only one though, everybody got the same idea. To prevent any more bystanders getting injuries, it was time to end the game.

"Yep, were done here. Why don't we all take a break?" Tyson said as he stood up.

While everyone else was engaging in a different activity, Hilary noticed some girls younger than her were eying on Kai. Her face formed a frown whenever they would flirt by throwing suggestive glances at him or a wink. It can't be helped, her husband is ridiculously handsome and his masculinity is shown when he's shirtless.

In an effort to show that he's already taken, Hilary put her arms around his neck and pull him down for a soft kiss. Tyson saw the whole scene and snorted a laugh when he discovered Kai wasn't the only one being possessive.

"What was that for?" Kai asks after their short kiss ended.

Hilary wasn't going to say it's because she's jealous of other girls looking at him, it's too embarrassing! So she thought of another thing to say "for being here", this was true, she was happy that Kai managed to squeeze his busy schedule to get here and in order to do that he even rode a helicopter.

"I guess this means I owe Tyson a huge favor then. He's the one texting me"

Hilary remembered and giggles that Tyson was responsible "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." She reminds herself to give him something special for his birthday as a huge thank you.

They were still holding each other, Kai gently caressed her cheeks, watching her giving him that lovely smile of hers that is only reserve for him, he leans his forehead against hers, anticipating for a kiss, their lips join together for one passionate kiss. Hilary bringing her body closer to press against his, their embrace tightened, Kai's hand down from her back while the other was tracing the lines of her bikini strap and Hilary was loving the way his hands move. Their kiss deepened as both wanted the other to feel their affection towards each other, Hilary pulling his face closer to hers, enjoying the sweet sensation they were giving to each other.

It was as if the world suddenly stood still and nothing could ruin this moment. But all must come to an end when their moment of ecstasy was interrupted by a little girl.

"My parents would take off their clothes when they kiss"

But it wasn't only Rin who saw the whole thing...

"Big brother, are mom and dad done now? Can I open my eyes?"

Gou embarrassingly looked away from the sight of his parent's as he call it, a naughty kiss moment "Mom, Dad... everyone is watching."

Makoto was downright grossed out "EEEEEWWW! Did they just use their tongue?"

Caught red-handed at their heated moment, the two quickly separated. Hilary was blushing at being caught kissing in front of the children and it's not even suitable for children to see, Hilary felt like hiding under a large blanket and stay there until sundown. Kai facepalms, now how can he explain this to his kids? Kai glares as the rest of his friends laughs at their predicament, with the exception of Ray and Mariah who are also equally embarrassed when Rin spills intimate details.

"Oh my god! Rin, you can't just go on telling people what me and your dad do"

"But dad told me not to lie"

"Ray!"

Trying to placate his wife's anger, Ray laughs nervously as she stares at him angrily. "Ehehe.. I didn't know she would take things literally. Sorry?"

The rest of the afternoon went on, Kai and Hilary clearly dodging their younger daughter's question on the topic of kissing and to Kai's horror, she's starting to ask where babies come from. Kenny woke up from his nap to find there was sand all over him and it was shaped in a form of a very seductive mermaid with sea shells to cover its huge breast. Tyson, Max and the children involved laughs at their prank on Kenny. Ray make it up for Mariah when he took her somewhere secluded and was gone for an hour, they both have smiles on their faces when they got back.

Tyson held two beers in his hand and offered one to Kai, while he's not exactly a fan of beer Kai took a drink anyway, it has been a long day and one cold drink of beer will help him relax.

"Thanks for coming, even though you got here late"

"If you hadn't text me, I'd still be at work"

Tyson laughs "Yeah, I didn't know that would actually work"

"oh... and Tyson?"

"What?"

"Thanks"

Tyson smiled as they both watched the beautiful sunset at the horizon.

"Anytime"

Added Bonus ending: (This will come up in future chapters)

As they rode home. Mikoto has been itching to get answers about her previous question, something her parents refuse to explain. Like every children her age, she's really curious.

"Where did big brother and me come from?"


(A/N): If you happened to read "3 stages", this story is related to that. I tried not making this into one sappy Kaihil love story like I used to do, I mean, when I read my old stories I laugh out of embarrassment. *reads chapter again* NOPE! STILL FAILING... JUST LIKE MY ENGLISH.
Thanks for reading/Reviewing my works and I assure you that I still want to update and finish all my stories.

BTW, sorry for the lack of updates but my workload has kept me busy and a few weeks ago I got this sort of hang-over when Naruto (Manga) ended. Plus my OTP that I kept shipping for more like 12 years is finally canon and everything got crazy in tumblr. Now I have to wait for the movie to come out.
