Kai: Oh Shit!!
Rei: What's wrong, koi?
Kai: I just remembered that Destiny said something about leaving after saying hello!!
Rei: Soooooooooooo…………………
Kai: So that means that one of her psycho friends is coming!!
Hiwatari'sKonNeko27: Hey guys, I'm gonna be writing this chapter.
Kai+Rei: OMG…………..Your a dude!!
Hiwatari'sKonNeko27: Ummmm……Yeah, I'm her best friend, since we were in kindergarten.
Rei: Sooooooooo………..Did she tell you this story is a yaoi…………….and if she did do you know what that means?
Hiwatari'sKonNeko27: Duh, I know what yaoi means, I'm gay.
Kai: Seriously?
Hiwatari'sKonNeko27: Yeah, seriously. Where do you think she gets all her ideas from? There from me and my koi.
Rei: Awwwww…..See Kai-Koi, she does love us.
Kai: Rei, darling, I fail to see how this is considered love.
Rei: Well, for starters she could have left us with some yaoi fangirl club.
Hiwatari'sKonNeko27: He is right you know.
Kai: I suppose so. So do you know how this goes?
Hiwatari'sKonNeko27: Yep I do, oh wait I'd like to send my regards to RussiansNekojinLover. She's been in a way better mood since she met you, thanks!!
Kai: Okay, my turn, Destiny'sVampireSlayer306+Hiwatari'sKonNeko27 don't own Beyblade in anyway shape, or form.
Hiwatari'sKonNeko27: Enjoy the chapter; Destiny will be back for the next!!
Kai's POV
"Okay, so wait a minute. You mean to tell me our little neko over here is the lead singer of Bad Luck?!" Bryan is not the only one who is confused by this, he turns to me and I only shrug. We've both heard songs from the group (all thanks to Ryoko and her stereo system.) but we've never seen their faces. Ryoko has finally calmed down enough to start to clear everything up for us.
"Okay, so Rei Kon is the lead singer, like I said earlier. They're on tour now and they had to stop here in Tokyo for a performance, and now he is currently lying on our couch in our house. My friends are never gonna believe this!!" Bryan and I both gave her a sharp stare.
"No Ryoko, you can't tell anyone about this. Kai said he just passed out, and when we were cleaning him off we saw tear stains on his face. Something may be happening to this young man that he doesn't want the press to find out." Ryoko nodded in understanding before looking confused.
"Bryan?" Bryan made a noise of acknowledgement as I handed him a glass of water and two aspirins. "When your stressed about something do you normally go to Kai and talk about it, seeing as you two are and item." Bryan opened one lilac eye and nodded, he too seemed curious as to where this was leading.
"Yea, but I don't see a point in this." Ryoko looked at us for a moment then sighed.
"So my point is, if something is bothering you and you have a lover don't you normally go to them for comfort instead of running the streets?" Bryan and I shared a look with each other before he nodded.
"It depends on who the person is, but yes. Normally when someone has a lover and something is bothering them they talk to their lover for support, I do that with Kai all the time." Then I see those two little red orbs light up in confusion.
"Then tell me; why would Rei be out on the streets when he has Tala waiting at home for him?" Now Bryan and I look confused. Tala? Who is Tala? I give her a look that says, explain to the older people in the room please.
"Rei is going out with the base guitarist, the Russian redhead Tala. Tala announced today on television that he and Rei were an item, so if their an item why did he run? You don't think that Tala's an abusive boyfriend, do you? Or maybe his abusive by, like, words and stuff, not with his fists." Bryan rolled his eyes and walked over to the neko-jin, he motioned for Ryoko to come over. She walked over and I followed to watch what Bryan was doing, Bryan gently took one of Rei's arms and showed it to her.
"Do you see anything unusual about his arm, Ryoko?" She studied it for a moment then nodded.
"There are no wounds that means he isn't beaten, but, his wrist I can fit my whole hand around it." To prove her point she wrapped her entire hand around the tan wrist, just to see that made me want to take care of this young boy more than anything. Then an thought pops into my head, slowly I turn to my sister.
"Ryoko," She turned her head slightly to see me, she nodded showing that she heard me. "How old is Rei?" She thought for a moment and then it seemed as if all the life in her suddenly left, her little head turned to me with tears in her eyes and she said.
"He's 17 years old."
/Meanwhile, at the band's mansion/
Tala's POV
"Where the hell can he be?! I mean, I thought that when you did that press conference thing he would come back, but he hasn't!! Maybe we should call the police?" Maxie hit Tyson upside his head and I sighed. I was worried about my little neko, this was the only way that I could think of getting him back. Ever since the whole Yuki thing, we've had a budding relationship going on. Hell, even Tyson and Max caught onto it eventually, and even though he surprised me with the 'I can't get him out of my head Tala, that guy at the bar.' I'm okay. I mean, I've had threesomes before, doesn't matter as long as I have my kitten. I promised him I would protect him and what do I go and do? I go and bring up Yuki, goddamn me all to hell, I've got to be the worst boyfriend ever in the history of man. I feel some tears run down my face, and then I see only Maxie's black shirt in my face.
"Hey, hey, it's okay Tala…..We'll find our little kitty cat, don't worry." I sniffed, I pulled away from the embrace and called Rei's cell, if he wasn't crying his eyes out then maybe he could answer the phone. He doesn't, and I leave a message, not that he would listen to it.
"Ummmm," I had to try to get my voice under control, but it doesn't work so I just try and speak the best I can thru my sobs. "Rei, baby, kitten, please if you listen to this message please call me and I swear to you I'll pick you up. Baby kitten, please call me back and if you don't just remember that I love you and there is nothing I wouldn't do for you. Please, come back home, I miss you, my little neko, love Wolfie." I kiss the mouth piece and hang up, brushing some strands of my red hair that fell out of the ponytail and brush the tears away from my face. I get up and walk out of the room to the piano, I'm glad Tyson and Max didn't follow me. Slowly I start to play and sing along.
Hey baby….
Is that you?
Wow, your hair got so long…..
Yeah, yeah, I love it…..
I really do…..
Norma Jean ain't that song….
We'd sing in the car...
Tala, you're a worthless piece of scum!
Drivin' downtown…..
Top down….
Makin' the rounds…..
Checking out the bands…..
On Doheny Avenue……
Yeah life throws you curves….
But you learn to swerve….
Me swung and I miss……
Wolfie, I'll always be there for you, I love you.
And the next thing ya know…..
I'm reminiscing….
Dreamin' old dreams…..
Wishin' old wishes….
Like you would be back again…..
Your no son of mine!!
I broke down, remembering what happened when I met Rei, when my parents found out I was gay, when my whole world came crashin' down. But Rei…….Rei stood by me, he carried the pain in his heart as well, he didn't judge me he just told me that he loved me. He was my first love, he is my love, and he is my love forever. I fall away from the piano and out of my pocket pull a razor blade and I drag it across my wrist. I watch as the crimson liquid slowly leaks out of the cut, I don't hiss in pain I just watch it and remember all that my father said to me, while he beat me and raped me. After awhile I stand and steady myself and walk to the first aid kit and bandage my wrist up before going back to the piano to finish the song.
I wake up and tear drops…..
They fall down like rain….
I put on that old song…..
We danced to and then…..
I head off to my job….
Guess not much has changed…..
Punch the clock….
Head for home…..
Check the phone….
Just incase…..
Go to bed….
Dream of you…..
That's what I'm doin'
These days…..
Yeah that's what I'm doin'…..
I can't continue, I get up and sway a bit as I try to make my way down the hall and into my bedroom. I see Max walking down to the library and he stops when he sees me.
"Hey, Tal, you okay now buddy?" I give a shake that says no before stopping mid way and turning it into a yes, the little blond is satisfied with that. After he walks off I go into my room and collapse on the bed, I don't even have the emotional strength to cry anymore, the tears just slip down the sides of my face and after awhile I fell asleep with a deep pain in my heart.
/Back over at Kai's studio/
Rei's POV
I think I'm starting to wake up, the reason I'm unsure is cause the last thing I knew before passing out was seeing crimson eyes. I sit up and rub my eyes, I'm in a studio, it's a lot like the one me and Tala used to own. Then it hit me, Tala. He was probably at home crying his own eyes out thinking he hurt me. Well I'll admit that what he said did hurt, but I'm stronger than that it just hurt and I let it get the best of me. Gods, Tala's got to be worried sick about me, I'm such an ass for just running out of there like nothing. Maybe he called; I see my cell sitting on the coffee table next to me, and picking it up it and opening it says I have a message. I go and replay Tala's message, what I heard broke my heart in half. He was crying………he was crying when he left this message………and in the end he even says Wolfie……gods know he hates that nickname more than anything in the world but he lets me call him that. I break down again and sob, all of a sudden I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and hold me to their chest. I look up to see moonlight colored eyes look down on me, gods, this man is beautiful. I hear a voice call, he looks up and so do I and I see the stripper from the bar, he smirks and walks over to me.
"Well, it's good to see you awake, little neko. Anyway, if you remember me then you'll know that I'm the one from the bar." I nodded my head in a response, and pull out of the embrace of the other young man. He looks at me, swooping down he wipes away my tears that are running down my face, but to my surprise he licked them away. I heard Kai give a little chuckle behind us.
"Bry, don't go scaring the little neko. So what's your name?" I was about to answer when I heard a yell, the three of us look up to see a young girl standing there with an excited look on her face.
"OMG……He woke up!! Can he live with us, please?" I look at the little girl with a smile, no use trying to hide my identity to this group if they have a little girl.
"Ryoko, sis, go to your room or go to Rijin's house, Bryan and I need to talk with Rei here." I looked confused and I hear the little girl leave, when she had left Kai and Bryan both looked at me.
"Sit down Rei; you're not in trouble we just want to talk." I sat down; I glanced over at the piano. I was the exact same one that was in Yuki's and mine studio when we were living together. Kai must have noticed my stare and chuckled.
"Would you like to play a piece before we talk?" I look at him with surprise and I gently spoke for the first time.
"If it's alright with you." He nodded and sat down by the couch with Bryan. I sat down in front of the piano and thought of a song I could sing, and then I thought of Tala.
Drew looks at me….
I fake a smile so he won't see…..
That I want him and need I him…..
Everything that we should be…
I bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about…
She's got everything that I'll have to live without….
Drew talks to me….
I laugh cause it's so damn funny….
Cause I can't even see….
Anyone when he's with me….
He says he so in love…..
He's finally got it right….
I wonder if he knows….
He's all I think about each night….
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar….
The only thing that keeps me wishin on my wishin star…..
He's the song in the car…
I keep singing….
Don't know why I do…..
Drew walks by me….
Can't he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes so perfectly….
The kind of flawless I wish I could be…..
She better hold him tight…
Give him all her love…..
Look in those beautiful eyes and knows she's lucky cause….
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar…..
The only thing that keeps me wishin on my wishin star….
He's the song in the car….
I keep singing….
Don't know why I do….
So I drive home alone….
As I turn out the lights…..
I'll put his picture down….
And maybe get some sleep tonight….
Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar….
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart…..
He's the song in the car…
I keep singing….
Don't know why I do….
Time taken up…..
But there's never enough…
And he's all that I need to fall in two…
Drew looks at me….
I fake a smile so he won't see….
Rei's POV
I sang the song that I wrote for the anniversary when Tala broke free of the girl that his father had set him up with. I remember when I sang this song to him in front of the girl, he broke down in tears and kissed me. I love him, but now with this new man named Kai and I'm going to guess lover, Bryan I think his name is, they both seem to have a good relationship going on, and I'm jealous.
"Rei, was that song about Tala?" I look over at the lavender headed boy, I give a sad nod.
"I wrote that song when Tala was going to tell his father he was gay. Well he did, but instead of telling he showed him by kissing me." Bryan and Kai both smirk and I sighed. I swear that all Russians have this thing about smirking, I mean Tala does it when I've messed up a song in rehearsal or if I do something stupid in the kitchen when cooking. Anyway I best stop thinking of him for more than two seconds.
"Rei, is everything okay with you and Tala? Did you not want him to announce your relationship with each other today?" Whoa……Did they just say that Tala had announced our relationship? How long have I been out?
"Hey Bryan, Kai," I asked quietly. "How long have I been out?"
"Hmmm…well, I'd say about 3 or 4 days……" Holy Shit!!
"Oh shit I've got to get a hold of Tala, he's probably freaking out and that's never good. Gods I hope he took his medication when I was gone." Bryan grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug. It felt so much like a hug that I would get from Tala, Kai joined into the hug and I've never felt more at home or safe.
Somewhere their speaking…..
It's already coming in….
Oh, and it's rising in the back of your mind….
You never could get it……
Unless you were fed it……
Now you're here and don't know why……
"Don't cry chibi-neko. Dry those tears from your face. It will all be okay, we're here to help you….."
But under the skinned knees and the skid marks…..
Past the places where you use to learn…..
You howl and listen….
Listen and wait for the…..
Echoes of angels that won't return…..
"I have to get home to Tala. Thank you for taking care of me, but I must get home to Tala……."
He is everything you want…..
He is everything you need….
He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be…..
He says all the right things at exactly the right time…..
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why……
"Take it easy Rei; I don't think he'll do anything drastic in this situation."
"But you don't know Tala!! He slits his writs and if he doesn't take his medication and then he hurts others."
You're waiting for someone to put you together….
You're waiting for someone to push away…..
There's always another wound to discover….
There's always something you wish he'd say…..
"Why don't you go and say it Kai!! Tala is not mentally stable and I know he's not!!"
"That's not what I'm trying to say here Rei!! I'm trying to say that you yourself are in not condition to go and see him!!"
"I'm the only one Tala listens too! No one else can help him like I can."
He is everything you want…..
He is everything you need…..
He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be…..
He says all the right things at exactly the right time…..
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why…….
"Kon, listen to me, Bryan. Tala may not be mentally stable but at the moment nether are you!!"
But you'll just sit tight….
And watch it unwind….
It's only what you're asking for…..
And you'll be just fine….
With all of your time…..
It's only what you're waiting for……
"Kai, Bryan, what's going on?"
"Nothing Ryoko, just go to your room, okay?"
"Okay…."
Out of the island…..
Into the highway…..
Past the places you might have turned….
You never did notice…..
But you still hide away….
The anger of angels that won't return….
"Rei, you've gotta relax for me. Listen to my voice, this is Bryan."
He is everything you want….
He is everything you need….
He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be….
He says all the right things at exactly the right time……
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why….
"Bryan, Kai, please help me……"
"We will Rei, we will……"
I am everything you want…..
I am everything you need…
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be…..
I say all the right things at exactly the right time….
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why…..
And I don't know why…..
Why…..
I don't know why…..
