IT'S NOT AS IF I'M GOING TO RAVISH HER BODY IN HER SLEEP?!)  I'll bet your fingers are crossed behind your back, Kai… _*

Tina- They've just met, and here's a second chappie for your enjoyment!

InuYokai- Alrightie then…erm…since when did Hiei-kun get involved with this?  He's not even from Beyblade!  And technically, he's not yours either, he's actually the property of Yoshihiro Togashi (the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho!).  This is why we authors at FF.net put Disclaimers on our fics saying: (insert random character) is not mine.  (the random character) belongs to (creator of the character).  And he's a muse, okay. M-U-S-E…he just happens to be in my inner thoughts at times…that's what muses do, okay?  So please save the review for my stories, and e-mail me if the topic is irrelevant to the story. Thank you!

Disclaimer:

*pouts* I really don't want to do this…but…since I fear being sued, chased with sharp and pointy objects, and having most (or all) of my giant plushie collection shredded in the Plushie Shredder 4000…I declare this…

I DO NOT OWN BAKUTEN SHOOT BEYBLADE! I AM A MERE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT!

Kai: Exactly. Only you missed the fact that you're stupid, dense, clumsy…

            *pushes Kai into the fic* Okay! Okay! Enough! Go!

            Previously:

            Meanwhile, Kai who was outside the bathroom door, heard splashing and giggling emit from the bathroom.  He turned the doorknob and rushed in.  "Alright you…." His voice faded at the sight before him.  He immediately shut up, and felt heat rising to his face.

            Ty stopped her splashing and looked at the person who was getting quite red in the face.  "Are you okay," she said, "You look a little red."  She then got out of the tub, revealing her naked body to Kai, who was searching frantically for the doorknob behind him.

            Kai couldn't help but gape.  She was beautiful in every aspect of her features.  He finally came to his senses, took off his overcoat, and handed it to the girl in front of him.  He then found the doorknob, apologized, excused himself, and shut the door behind him.

            Ty blinked, 'That was…..weird,' she thought to herself as she put on the overcoat.

            Kai Hiwatari sat on his bed, redder than a tomato.  'What have I done? Why didn't I just knock?  Am I a pervert? Am I, Kai Hiwatari, considered a peeping tom?' He mused ruefully as he smacked his forehead.  Meanwhile, Max and Rei were having a staring contest in the living room.  Ty stepped through the door and sat right beside the blushing bluenette.  Kai's blushed and moved away from the girl. The seraph moved crawled closer until her stormy gray eyes were just centimeters from his crimson ones.

            Ty cocked her head to the right, "Are you okay? You're very red…and your nose is bleeding!"

            Kai brought his finger to his nose.  Sure enough, there was blood.  "It's nothing really, I'll just get a…" He was cut off when Ty shot off to the bathroom, then came back with a box of tissue in her hands.  She grabbed his head, held a folded tissue to his nose.  She then titled his head forward gently, and played with his unruly hair.  Kai's blushed deepened because his head was resting in her lap.  He squirmed about, but the girl relaxed him with her voice.

            "It's okay. I won't hurt you…just relax. Relax."

            Kai's eyes were half lidded as he listen to her voice. He muscles loosened, and he felt very peaceful resting in Ty's lap.  However, he was so relaxed that he didn't even notice Ty taking the tissue away from his nose, or clearing her throat for his attention. In fact, he actually nuzzled his head into her lap.  Ty felt a small blush creep up her face, and poked the college student gently.

            "Excuse me, but er…could you please get off my lap?"

            Kai finally came to his senses and jumped away from the beauty. "I am so sorry."  He bowed in reverence, "Please forgive me!"  He noticed that the girl was giggling.  "What's so funny?"

            Ty spoke through her laughter, "Y-Y-Your nose is bleeding again!"

            Kai brought a finger to his nose. "Oh, shit…"

            Rei and Max continued to stare at each other with great interest.  Max's loose white robes flowed whenever she moved, and she examined every inch of Rei's face.  Rei, however, was having a hard time containing himself.  He was using iron will not to pounce on the cerulean eyed wonder in front of him. Max stood on her tip toes and reached up to his slightly pointed ears and tugged on them gently.  The neko-jin purred and he bent forward so that Max would have a better reach.  He bent a little too forward though, and he ended up falling, trapping the blonde beneath him.  They lay there, breathless, just staring at each other…until…

            Kai, nosebleed free and all, just happened to walk in at the time.  He covered his eyes at the sight.

            "Oh, Kuso! Kami-sama! Ah…gomen, gomen nassai! I didn't mean to interrupt, erm…continue with, er, whatever you two were doing…"

            Kai then about-faced and turned to his room while Rei pushed himself off of Max, trying to convince his friend that the scene wasn't what it looked like.

            "Kai! It's- It's not what it looked like!"

            Kai narrowed his eyes, "What did it look like, Rei?"

            Rei countered, "She tugged my ears and…and…I fell!"

            Kai's eyebrows raised up, "She…tugged your ears…and…you fell?"

            Rei smacked his forehead, "I mean she tugged on my ears, and that's my relaxing spot, and I didn't want her to stop, so I just leaned forward, but I leaned too forward, and I fell on top of her."  He looked at the skeptical look on Kai's face and gulped.  "Honest! I swear I wouldn't do anything lewd to her! I would never pounce her…ever!"

            Max came up behind the two and asked, "Pounce who?"

            "Okay…Kai, grab the back of my shirt so I don't pounce her or do anything lewd to her!" Re said as he tried to keep his body under control.

            Kai sweatdropped and dragged his friend into his room saying, "And you said 'I swear I wouldn't do anything lewd to her! I would never pounce her ever!'"

            Curious as always, Max followed.

+++

            Ty and Max sat on Kai's bed, while Rei was tied to the computer chair so that way he wouldn't do any lewd acts to Max or pounce on her.  Kai paced about his room, his arms akimbo.  Finally, he broke the silence.

            "Exactly who are you?!?"

            Ty folded her hands in her lap and said, "I am Ty, and she's my best friend named Max."  Ty pointed to the blonde to the left.

            Max smiled, "My full name is Maxine, but everyone calls me Max."

            Rei grinned, "And what a lovely name it…"

            "Quiet, Rei." Kai interjected.  Rei wisely shut up.

            Kai continued his interrogation.  "So where are you from, and exactly how did you get in here?  You don't have a key to the apartment."

            Ty answered, "We're…er…not exactly from here.  You see, we're not allowed to tell anyone where we're from."

            Rei's golden eyes lit up like Christmas lights, "Oooh!  So you're part of the Witness Protection Program?"

            "Rei…shut up…"

            "Shutting up, Kai, shutting up!"

            Ty continued, "And we got in through the open window by the front door."

            Max nodded, "Right.  Because after we got in here, we noticed…" he eyes became all sparkly, "the strange box thingy!"

            Kai sweatdropped, "The strange box thingy?"

            Ty and Max replied, their eyes unbelievingly huge, "The Strange Box Thingy." 

            Max squealed, "You know…the pictures move!"

            Kai scratched his head, "You mean the television set?"

            Ty formed the foreign words on her tongue, "Tell-a-vi-shon set?"

            Rei spoke, "He means the TV."

            "Didn't I tell you to shut up?"

            "Oh…whoops! Sorry! Continue! Carry on!"

            Kai placed his index finger on his chin and continued to pace around the room.  "So you got in through the open window…the hell?!?  OPEN WINDOW?!?"  He raced out of the room, cursing.

            Ty followed the blue-haired boy out of the room.  Max stood up and started for the door, but looked at Rei (who was still tied up in the chair.). 

            Rei wiggled about, gave up, then gave his best pitiful face at the blonde.  "Could you please untie me?  I won't lay a finger on you, I swear.  If I do, feel free to hit me with that aluminum bat in the corner!"

            Max stared at Rei, at the door, and at Rei again.  She shifted her weight from one foot to the other, then walked out of the room to catch up with Ty and Kai, leaving Rei tied up in the chair in the room.

            Rei yelled, "Hey! Was it something I said?  Whatever it was, I'm sorry!"

            After an hour of cursing, screaming, laughing, and whining because they were still tied up in a chair and wanted to be freed, Kai decided that the four of them go to the mall to find "appropriate garments" for the two girls who would be staying with them temporarily.  Ty buttoned up the shirt she borrowed from Kai, and the black cargo pants intrigued her.  She picked up the foreign garment and cocked her head cutely.  Kai dug through his luggage for a pair of socks and shoes.  Ty looked at the black pants up and down and asked, "Kai?  How do you put this on?"

            Kai turned to the stormy eyed girl and chuckled, "You don't know how to put on pants?"

            "They're…called…pants?"

            "Uh…yeah."

            "I…I…I don't know. I've never worn pants in my entire life."

            Kai stopped rummaging through his suitcases and raised his eyebrows, "Never?"

            Ty shook her head in response.

            Kai walked over to where the girl was and took the black cargos from her. "Do you need some help?" he asked.

            Ty nodded her head and mouthed a thank you.

            Kai unbuttoned the button and unzipped the zipper.  "Okay," he said, "place your hands on my shoulders."  Ty did as she was told.  Kai then slid on pant leg up Ty's tanned leg.  He then said, "Alright. Now I want you to bend your other leg, and I'll slide the other pant leg up, okay?"  Ty nodded and complied.  The pants came to rest at her hips.  Kai slowly placed his pale fingers on the zipper and slowly zipped up the cargos.  He then buttoned up the button.  After that, he fastened the pants with a belt.

            He was staring into Ty's eyes the entire time.

            A small blush graced Kai's ivory skin. " Ty? Er…could you please sit on the bed?" he asked.  Ty moved to the bed and sat down.  Kai grabbed a pair of white cotton socks and black pair of Converse All-Stars.  He slowly slid a sock over the girl's foot, placed the sneaker over the sock and laced up the shoe.  He did the same to the other foot.  The two stared at each other for a while.

            "Er…thank you, Kai…" Ty said, her cheeks slightly pink.

            Kai's face was red, "Uh, sure you're welcome…"

            Who knew that putting on clothes could be interesting?

            The couple stared at each other, lost in each other's eyes.  However, they were interrupted when they heard a thump.  Kai snapped out of his trance and he and Ty looked outside of the room.  Rei and Max were sprawled on the floor.

            Kai glared, "Rei! Will you save your perverse acts?!?"

            Rei defended himself, "I never touched her!"

            Max giggled, "He's right.  I tripped.  Mea culpa [1]. Rei's pants are a little too long…"

            Kai hung his head.  This was going to be a long day.

            As they stepped into the mall, Ty and Max gazed in wonder at the size of the mall.  There were so many different people.  So many styles….so much of everything.  Ty grabbed Kai's arm and half-dragged him into a store called "Hollister".  Max grinned followed her friend, dragging Rei behind her.  They went into various other stores, including the following: Hot Topic, Aeropostale, Anchor Blue, Vans, and Rampage.  Rei and Kai were outside of the women's restroom, waiting patiently for Ty and Max.

            Ty tapped Kai on the shoulder and smiled. "What do you think?"

            For once in his life, Kai was speechless.  Ty was dressed in a red camisole with an unbuttoned blue shirt decorated with baby dragons.  She wore black cargos and white Vans sneakers.  Her hair was tied back in a loose ponytail.  Her lips were a cherry red color.  Kai gaped.  'Well, at least she isn't naked…' he thought.

            Rei was having a hard time controlling himself as well.  The blonde was adorned in a tangerine orange ¾ sleeved shirt, a denim skirt with a flower pattern by the bottom seams, and black sneakers. Max's golden hair was pulled back into pigtails, and her lips were tickle-me pink. She smiled and said, "Thank you for everything."

            Ty blushed, "Er…yes, arigatou gozaimasu."

            Kai blinked, and his cheeks turned a tinge of pink, "You're welcome."

            Max grabbed Ty's arm, "WA! Ty-chan! Look at those pretty dresses!"

            Ty replied, "But…they're so lacy and revealing!"

            Rei looked sideways at Kai, "Er Kai," he began, "They found the lingerie store…"

            Kai massaged his temples, "I'm going to get an attendant to help them.  I've already suffered two…almost three nosebleeds today."

            Rei waltzed toward the entrance.  "Sucks for you, Kai!  I'm going in!"

            Kai grabbed the back of his companion's shirt, "I don't think so, Rei.  You're going to stay put right here with me.  We'll go inside when we see that they have everything they need.  I will not be a Peeping Tom."

            Rei snapped his fingers, "Ah, damn!"

+++

            Later that night, Ty lay down on Kai's bed, watching Kai have a conversation with his parents on the phone (This is an AU. In this story, Kai has a mom and dad).  When Kai hung up, Ty said, "You're lucky you have a mother."

            "What happened to your mom?"

            Ty's eyes were wistful, "She died just after I was born. I only have a father and an older brother."

            "I see."

            Ty pulled the covers about her.  "Thank you for letting me use your bed, Kai.  I hope you won't be uncomfortable sleeping on the floor."

            Kai closed his eyes and mumbled, "Don't mention it, Ty.  I'm fine.  Get some sleep."

            Ty whispered, "Goodnight Kai."

            Kai was already asleep.

            Ty lay awake in the dark.  She sat up and sighed.  Moonlight pooled through the window in the bedroom.  The bluenette with the stormy eyes embraced the moonlight and rested her head on her forearms on the windowsill.  'Ren,' she mused, 'I miss you.  When will I see you again?'  Her eyes drooped, closed, and she slumped and fell on her side, fast asleep.

            Meanwhile…

            Ren stood outside the mighty gates of Caelum.  He said a silent prayer for his sister, and blew a kiss toward Earth.
