First insight into the enemy
Dinner was served at around five o'clock and while the food was being laid out on the table, the Beybladers and White Tigers sat down. Lee headed the table, sitting silently, watching the others around him. Kai and Rei sat either side of Lee, down the table, opposite each other. Kai had walked in flushed behind a grinning Rei, which brought whispering to everyone in the room; that only managed to add to the already flushed face of Kai. Mariah sat very close to Rei, trying to get his attention with Kevin at her feet nagging at her to pay attention to him. Gary sat at the bottom of the table, fingers itching to take a plate full of each dish that was placed down. Tyson was acting the same as he sat next to Kai, but with him, Max had to tap him on the hand to stop him from snacking, while Kenny held onto Dizzi for dear life, hoping that Gary wouldn't mistake her for part of the feast.
Once the food had been laid, Lee didn't even have to announce the beginning of the feast, Gary and Tyson were already helping themselves as soon as the last dish touched the table. Tyson's and Gary's plates were overflowing within seconds yet they still tried to add more, against the complaints from Max and Kenny. Kai and Rei worked as a team, grabbing a dish when Gary and Tyson weren't looking, helping themselves to what they wanted, then passing them to each other, their fingers touching as they swap. Lee noticed this and soon put an end to it, taking the dishes from them before such an act could take place again. It's not that he himself was attracted to Rei, in fact, he liked Mariah, but she was too infatuated with Rei to notice. No, he just didn't like Kai, he believed Rei deserved someone better than him, and was determined to do the best he could to break them up.
With a mouth full of food and still adding to what he already had, Tyson spoke up.
"So, how's everything been, I mean, without the whole fighting thing."
Rei went to speak but was shocked from his words as a bare foot began to massage his ankle. Rei turned to watch Kai placing a piece of chicken in his mouth then sliding the chopsticks out, slowly, all the time looking at him calmly. Rei wondered how he could be doing something so emotionally arousing yet be sitting there so calmly, he took deep breathes to calm himself down, it didn't work.
"Are you okay, Rei?" Max asked, puzzled by Rei's silence.
"Yeah." Rei squeaked. He cleared his throat, "Yeah, I'm fine. We've all been fine actually, apart from the fighting we've encountered, but now that you're here, I'm sure we can do it. And I'm glad to see you all again, it's been too long."
Rei spoke so quickly that it took sometime for the others to understand what he said. Kai just tried his best to hide the rare smile that was apparent on his face. Lee spoke up, surprisingly.
"I'm sure you missed Kai more than the others." Lee blurted.
The foot massaging Rei's low leg moved away and Kai looked up at Lee, shocked and worried.
"Of course Rei missed Kai more than us, they're a couple, it doesn't bother us." Max spoke out, not enjoying the tension.
Kai looked over at Rei, feeling betrayed and lied to. He had told all of them without telling him first. Rei just smiled back, apologetic. Rei had wanted to talk to Kai before telling everyone, but as soon as he got home, he had Mariah all over him and he couldn't stand it, he had to tell them. Then Mariah blurted the news to Tyson and the others, leaving me to sort everything out. All the emotion that had been shining in Kai's eyes left and was replaced with the too familiar emotionless look. Lee used this to his advantage.
"Hadn't you told him, Rei? That seems unlike you." Lee teased.
" I couldn't help myself. I had caught the eye of a most extravagant creature and I just had to tell everyone I knew. Of course, then I worried that Kai would hate me for telling everyone and I didn't want that." Rei fought back against Lee's attempts.
Rei looked over at Kai, who wasn't looking at him, but at his cold food, looking ashamed and dirty. Rei's heart sunk, sorry that he had caused this on Kai. All he thoughts of Kai diminished when a petit hand rested on his upper leg and squeezed. Rei looked down to see Mariah's hand sitting comfortably on his tense leg. Mariah was talking to Max as she did this, and Rei was starting to miss that comforting foot.
"Lee, urm, maybe we should tell them about it all now." Rei asked, trying to take his mind off the hand that was now stroking his leg. He couldn't do anything without causing a fuss, so he left it.
"You're right," Lee began, "About two weeks ago our neighbouring tribe came to us demanding that our land belonged to them, stating that an ancestor of ours was once a member of their tribe and so officially the land belonged to them. We fought back, stating that that woman married into our family after abandoning her tribe at the age of ten. They didn't like our tone and decided to fight for this land. We've been able to fight them off, but we are losing our defences quickly. That's when Rei wrote to you. Hopefully, with you on our side we can take them on." Lee spoke with honour and hatred in his voice.
"Don't worry, the Bladebreaker's are here and won't let you down. We'll show them what we're made of, don't you worry about that." Tyson spoke up.
Everyone applauded Tyson then finished off their food, and thankfully for Rei, Mariah moved her hand.
The next morning came quickly, but not pleasantly. The morning sun turning the sky blood red, a thick mist adding to the eerie atmosphere occurring this morning. Even the animals that inhabited the surrounding village stayed in their homes, afraid, as if a fox or a wolf was prowling the land, after a meal to chase around before pouncing on it, finishing it off.
Kai allowed his hand to wipe away the collected steam on the window to watch the cold morning play its course. He wiped his wet hand on the black coat he'd found lying on the floor of Rei's bedroom. The feathers round the collar and wrists tickled him with every move he made, it was starting to annoy him. He turned to see Rei sleeping sweetly in the bed, his hand over the area that Kai had slept in. The blanket sat indecently on his lower back and his loose hair still slipped from his back to his side or into his face.
Kai walked over and lay back down on the bed, moving Rei's arm from the bed to next to his face on the pillow. Kai took a few strands of his raven hair and placed them either on the other side of his body or behind his ear. Then, slowly and lightly, Kai began to trace his hand along Rei's back, the feathers tickling him. Rei stirred and opened his golden sleepy eyes half- lidded, and looked at Kai, whose eyes were following his hand trace patterns on Rei's back. Rei stretched out his hand hoping that, unlike his dreams, Kai wouldn't disappear. He didn't, Rei's hand walked across Kai's cheek. Feeling the touch, Kai looked down at him, a smile on his face when seeing the grin on Rei's
"Morning." Rei growled in his morning voice.
"Morning." Kai returned.
"That coat suits you." Rei added, his eyes following Kai's curved body down, the coat stopping halfway down his bare upper legs that shined in the morning light.
"I think it's a bit girly." Kai spoke his opinion, but enjoying Rei examining him.
Kai rolled onto his stomach, purposely causing the coat to ride up, revealing all of Kai's lower body to Rei. Rei licked his lips as images of what he could do to Kai washed through his mind.
"I never said you had to wear it outside." Rei grinned, devilish.
"Trust you." Kai added, coldly.
Kai stood up and walked round the bed into the bathroom. Rei heard the shower turn on and decided to enjoy himself before having to endure the troubles of the outside world, the world where Kai would turn into the emotionless bastard he was know as. Rei got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, leaning on the doorframe.
Kai was in the shower, running a flannel over his wet body. Rei swallowed at the sight, and breathed deeply. Kai caught sight of Rei watching him.
"Aren't you going to wash up?" Kai asked, leeringly.
"No. I'll wash after I've done the morning work." Rei replied.
"What you gotta do?" Kai asked, slightly upset.
"Cook breakfast, wash up." Rei replied.
"For the whole village, on your own?" Kai asked.
"No, Mariah helps out." Rei replied.
"So, you're just going to stand there watching me." Kai worked out.
"Yep." Rei said, proudly.
"Pervert." Kai muttered.
Rei was going to reply when he heard sounds from outside, getting loader and loader. Rei walked out of the bathroom, put on the first clothes he could find and stepped outside. Kai followed behind Rei, wrapping a towel round his waist. When they stepped outside, they saw all the villagers huddling around, muttering to themselves, as Lee and his grandfather stepped forward awaiting the arrival of distant figures. Rei squinted and managed to make out twenty men, all armed with a young man, about their age and an old man, who he recognised as the leader of the warring village.
Rei pushed through the crowd to join Lee. When he got there, he noticed Mariah was with them. She attached herself to his arm quickly.
"Oh, Rei. They're back, what can we do?" Mariah said, pathetically.
"Listen to what they have to say, that's all we can do." Lee answered.
Rei nodded, he agreed with Lee. They had said all they could, there was nothing else to say, now was for listening.
Kai had stayed on the porch of Rei's hut. His parents lived on the other side of the village with Mariah's parents. Kai moved up to the ledge and lent on the wood, watching from a distance but still being able to hear everything. A cold wind rushed through him and Kai crossed his arms over his bare chest. But his thoughts moved from the damning weather to the abominable noise coming from the crowd. Kai looked over to see Tyson, Max and Kenny pushing through the crowd. Kai was more amazed at Tyson being up then the noise they were making, he was used to that, even though he still hated it and used every opportunity he had to shut them up. That was going to be hard here. Thankfully, once they had reached Rei, they were shushed quiet.
The old man approached Lee's grandfather, his grandson walking off.
"I have merely come to make a proposition, but it will be my last, old friend. I propose that you give up your land and we'll give you part of our old land, say no and we will continue to fight and once we win, you will have no land."
The two old leaders argued for a while and Kai was growing bored of this old scene. He had seen it a million times with his own grandfather, taking homes, money and lives from people who disobeyed him, and each time he gave them a choice and each time they took the hard way round, and lost. But Kai also knew that he was a Hiwatari, and they always win, no matter who makes the proposals.
The grandson of the rival leader jumped over the ledge and stood infront of Kai, but too close for Kai comfort, yet he didn't move, just looked ice cold at the boy infront of him. The boy looked up and down Kai's partially covered body while grinning widely at him.
"I've never seen you here before." He spoke.
"That's because I don't live here." Kai spoke firmly.
"I guessed that. So, where do ya live?" the guy asked slyly.
"Japan." Kai replied simply.
"Cool. You got a name?" The boy pressed.
"Hiwatari Kai." Kai replied, getting the reaction he'd hoped for.
"Kai, huh, the beyblading world champion. Wow, never thought I'd meet you, or that you'd look even better off screen." The boy graced.
Kai murmured to himself at the boy's response.
"I'm Jin." He announced.
"Good for you." Kai grunted.
Jin stepped close to Kai and began to run his finger over Kai's bare chest, above his crossed arms. Kai didn't flinch, his training had taught him not to show signs of weakness. Jin leaned in even closer, their noses almost touching, when Jin's grandfather yelled over at him.
"Jin, come! We'll solve nothing this way!"
"Coming!" Jin shouted, then spoke to Kai, " See you around, gorgeous."
Jin leapt over the ledge and rushed to his grandfather's side. As the crowd dispersed, Rei rushed up the stairs to Kai's side.
"What was that all about?" Rei asked.
"Nothing. He was just being a prick." Kai spoke back, anger in his voice.
"Hm." Rei murmured.
"Hey, Rei! We need to get sorted, they'll attack soon, so we need to be ready." Lee shouted over.
"We'll start after we've eaten, tell everyone to go the training ground after food." Rei shouted back.
Lee nodded and walked away. Rei took Kai round the waist and lead him inside to get ready.
There you go. Now this one was a lot longer than the original, wow. Didn't mean to write that much, oh well, I suppose you won't kill me now if I take longer than usual to get the next chapter up ( Hears complaints and flames coming towards darkness) OK, I won't take longer, I'll get started straight away. What do you think, I wasn't sure about the whole Jin thing, but it works for my Lee hatred thing. I don't know, tell me what you think. Hey look - Max, Rei, Kai and Jin - all 3 letters long HA!... I need to get out more. Okay, review please.
Bye de bye
