Chapter two
Thanks for all your lovely reviews!! Though I am slightly worried about the number of people who want to see Kai in a dress! And sorry if you reviewed after I wrote this chapter and I didn't thank you personally.. Look at the last chapter for disclaimers.. I think I'll update the rating to PG-13 from now on though.
Angel of darkness - Yeah, of course it'll have shounen-ai!! I'm a rabid fangirl too, though Tyson/Kai isn't my favourite..
Person-with-no-name - Hmm.. nice idea.. but you'll have to read to find out if he does..
KawaiiAngel - Thanks! I'm not quite sure at the moment.. anything could happen! Hope this is alright..
Animeprincess - Kai? Lose? Maybe.. A blind date might be a bit complicated but there will definitely be guys..
Angel123292 - Well, at least a black bikini's original.. have you talked to your therapist about this? Poor Kai, I'm beginning to feel sorry for him! A bikini might be a bit traumatic for the other guys though.
Another-person-without-a-name - Another rabid Tyson/Kai fangirl? Oh dear. I'm sorry, I'm not too keen on that pairing but maybe..
LDFireAngel - Hmm.. Nice question.. I can imagine them getting flustered over that one! Kissing's a given.. and switching clothes.. hmm that's original! *imagines Kenny in Ray's outfit and giggles*
Guardian - Thank you, I will! Here you are, hope you like it.. Next one up soon..
Dragonmoon - Kai under pressure? Scary thought! He might explode (don't worry, no exploding in this chapter..) and then what would we do? Who would we pick on and ask to wear girl's clothes?
Jade-tiger - Sorry, no pairings yet.. not quite anyway.. there might be a hint of one though..
Blackitten-chan - Argh!! The Kai/Tyson fangirls are taking over the world!! And I'm sure I can think of something embarrassing for poor ickle Max to do.. if I think long enough *rusty cogs*
Demon Rising - YAY!! A Ray/Kai fangirl!! Hurrah! *hugs* I was beginning to think I might have to make this Tyson/Kai!! Thanks for the very long and amusing (see? It was!) review.. I think you probably meant Kai kiss Ray, though, instead of Kai kiss Kai, which is what you wrote. Hmm.. interesting images. And I'm sorry but tyson doing the macarena in his underwear would just be TOO traumatic!!
Bester - Yay! You noticed the Mary Poppins comment! I was wondering if anybody would.. hope you like this chapter =)
This chapter is dedicated to Demon Rising.. I hope you like it.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the others ran noisily past Ray, and into the training room, Kai was already regretting his idea. He was sure that everybody would gang up on him to make him do the most ridiculous things. Then again, maybe Ray would be on his side. Kai glanced at him as he passed, and noticed a mischievous grin on his face.
"Bags I battle you first," he whispered in Kai's ear. Kai groaned. Then again, maybe not. He turned, facing Ray full on. The two were almost exactly the same height, he noticed now. Keeping his face neutral, he replied.
"Fine. But don't blame me when you lose!" he added, walking on and standing by one side of the dish. Ray soon followed, and took his place opposite Kai. Both reached for their blades.
"Hey!" whined Tyson, "How come you get to go first?"
"We're bigger," Ray replied, without moving. Only the twinkle in his eye showed how much he was looking forward to this. "Besides," he added, "haven't you ever heard of delayed gratification?" Tyson humphed and sat down next to Max and Kenny, who was looking thoughtful.
"You know," he started, "Nothing says we couldn't get another dish and have you two battle at the same time.." he trailed off.
"Yeah!" yelled Tyson, jumping up and punching the air. "Neat idea, chief!" Followed by Max, he ran off in search of something they could use as a beystadium. Kai watched them go.
"Let's start," he decided. If Tyson and Max weren't there, he was more likely to win and less likely to be made to humiliate himself in front of everyone. He shuddered at the thought. Ray nodded, guessing rightly that Kai was more nervous than he was letting on. Maybe I can play that to my advantage
"Ready?" asked Kenny, who was now standing at the edge of the dish. Kai and Ray nodded, holding up their launchers. "Three!"
"Two!" Kai shifted, glancing across at Ray.
"One!" Ray grinned back.
"LET IT RIP!" all three shouted together, pulling their launchers and sending their blades flying through the air. They crashed together in mid- air over the middle of the dish and fell, wobbling then regaining their balance and circling round the edges.
"Lucky one," Ray said with an evil grin. "Almost had you there.." Kai knew it wasn't true, and that Ray was just trying to get him wound up. That thought, however, didn't make him feel much better. Neither did thinking about what was going to happen if he lost. It was time to take control.
"Dranzer!" he yelled. "Attack now!" he yelled at exactly the same time Ray ordered the same thing of Driger.
Both blades stopped their circling and charged towards each other, crashing together underneath where they had met in the air. This time, however, both blades did not recover. Unknown to Kai, Ray had reconfigured his beyblade the night before, giving it a heavier weight ring. This gave him an advantage in the crash, meaning that Driger stayed spinning in the middle of the ring as Dranzer flew through the air and landed with a clunk by Kai's feet. Kai didn't move for a moment. When the reality of what had just happened to him hit, he looked up, to see a *very* evil grin stretched across Ray's face. He also noticed Tyson, Max and Kenny dancing in the backgroud. His heart sank. Does everybody want me to make a fool of myself? Deciding the answer was probably yes, he squared his shoulders and looked straight at Ray.
"Well?" he asked, fearing the worst but hoping he wasn't showing it. If possible, Ray's grin widened.
"Follow me," he ordered. "You stay here," he told the others. "We'll be back in a moment."
Leaving the very-unmanly-squeals of the others behind, Kai reluctantly followed Ray out of the room. If Ray had led him past a cliff, he might have considered jumping off it. However, Ray stopped in front of a door, opened it and inclined his head towards the interior. Kai's eyes widened as he walked in and stopped so suddenly Ray crashed into the back of him. Ray shut the door and turned to him.
"Sit down," he ordered, pointing to the bed behind Kai. Kai's heart started beating faster and adrenaline started pumping through him as he obeyed. What the hell was Ray going to do to him?! Coming back to reality, he saw Ray rummaging through a cupboard in front of him. He dreaded to think what he was going to come out with. Finally, Kai heard a noise of triumph and Ray turned around. Held up in front of him was a very, very short black dress.
"That should do.." grinned Ray. Noticing Kai's quizzical eyebrow, he realised it was more than just slightly incriminating for him to have said short black dress in his wardrobe. "Oh, sod off!" he muttered, willing his cheeks not to turn that guiltly shade of red. Kai noticed them, and smirked slightly, forgetting his own misfortunes for the moment. Unfortunately for him, this wasn't the reaction Ray was looking for.
"Just for that.." he glared at Kai, turning back around to the cupboard and extracting knee-high black leather boots with pointy stilleto heels, fishnet tights and a make-up bag. By this point, Kai had dropped into a chair facing the bed and had turned a very uncharacteristic shade of green which clashed horribly with his triangles. Cursing Ray, he clenched and unclenched his fists. Deep down, he knew it was his fault, but really, *really* didn't want to admit it. To his horror, Ray clambered up onto his bed, settled himself on the pillows, then looked expectantly at Kai.
"Go on, then," he said, waving a hand at the clothes laid out on the bed. Kai gulped. He meant it.
"Couldn't you.. look away?" he pleaded, knowing how pathetic he sounded. Ray shook his head.
"Sorry," he said, not sounding sorry in the least, "I have to check you're not cheating! Anyway," he added slyly, "It's your game!" Kai growled, narrowing his eyes at Ray, but knowing he had no choice. He sighed, flicking out his tongue to wet his dry lips. Ray's eyes widened slightly and he shifted on the bed. Kai frowned slightly. I wonder.. Prentending to consider his options, he uncrossed his legs and spread them wide across his seat. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Ray bite his lip, shift slightly and cross his arms over the top of his legs. Kai grinned inwardly. If he was going down, Ray was going with him!

Hmm.. cliffhanger? I don't know.. it could be.. Sorry about stopping here.. My sister's been nagging me to go out and buy bread with her for ages.. Don't ask.. Anyway, next chapter up soon.. and anymore suggestions are very welcome, as are reviews =)
