Thank you all for putting up with my absence and badly placed ending. For
all of those who read Week, you'll realise that I like to hide the most
important pieces of information. In that it was the pill vision, here
well.. In the last chapter there were three clues as to what would happen
in this chappie. Did you get them? No? Oh I'm good!! I hope this chappie
will be... as entertaining as the last.
Afterwards
The lasso's grip on Kai's reddened neck increased as the thick rough rope tightened around his dangling weight. Kai's throat wouldn't allow air to escape or enter, his chest was hurting and the world was spinning. His eyes wandered to the crowd, Anasha had moved from her seat to the stage where Jin was holding her back, tears running down both their cheeks. Kai closed his eyes tightly then gathering all his strength, he pulled his bound arms from behind his back up to the lasso.
The pain from his dislocated shoulder was excruciating and Kai was forced to groan out load, but it was stopped by the lack of air in his lungs. Once he grabbed the lasso, Kai pulled his legs over his body and thrusted his body onto the scaffolding above. As Kai caught his breath, Jin rushed up and started to shake the beams, Kai held on for dear life, knowing that if he fell, the rope would break his neck. Carefully, he pulled from his pocket the knife Jin had thrown on the floor in his tent. Kai cut his bondage and the lasso in half and freed himself from its vicious hold.
"Kill him!" Jin yelled, frustrated.
Kai readied himself for the onslaught of beyblades, but the hooded figures jumped onto the stage and removed their cloaks. The crowd gasped as uncovered before them stood Tyson, Max, Mariah, Lee and Rei, all armed with shields and their bit-powered beyblades. Jin growled in frustration.
"How did you get in?" Jin demanded.
"Heh! Looks like your plan had some faulty workmanship in it, Jin!" Tyson mocked.
"But now how do you expect to get out here?" Jin grinned evilly.
"By force" Lee roared.
Rei threw Kai a shield; he caught it with his good right hand then looked down at Rei. His eyes were red from crying but his face showed determination. There was silence for a moment as Jin's village pulled out their beyblades. Kai looked down to see Anasha at the scaffolding, holding on, scared. Kai jumped down next to her and she quickly attached herself to him. He stroked her hair gently as she cried onto his shoulder.
"It's okay, Anasha-chan." Kai spoke softly to her.
"I'm scared. I don't want anyone to get hurt, Kai-kun." Anasha cried.
"They won't if you help me." Kai offered.
"How can I help?" Anasha asked.
"Be my hostage while I try to escape with my friends." Kai spoke warmly, trying not to scare her.
"Hostage?" Anasha was scared anyway.
"I won't hurt you, but at least this way your village won't attack my friends and we won't fight back." Kai stroked her cheek.
Anasha nodded energetically, as Jin walked over to them.
"Get away from her!" Jin ordered.
Kai picked Anasha up in his good arm and ran into the scaffolding to put his dislocated arm back in place. He yelled out in pain before quickly recovering, pulling out Jin's pocket-knife again and holding it to Anasha's neck. Jin froze in his spot and Rei and the others huddled around Kai. Jin took a step towards them and Kai pressed the knife into Anasha's neck. She whimpered at this action.
"Don't move, or I'll have to hurt her." Kai threatened.
Jin stopped his pursuit and froze in his spot once more.
"Let her go, Kai." Jin asked.
"Let us out first." Kai spoke.
Jin didn't move or say anything. Rei took Kai by the shoulders and lead him down the stairs of the stage and through the crowd with the others behind him. The crowd separated, murmuring insults and death threats to them. Lee, Max, Mariah and Tyson kept their shields up, just in case, while Rei and Kai lead the way to the edge of the village.
"I really don't like this guys." Tyson complained.
Once at the boarder, they turned round to see Jin, Riki, Mikio and Yuto glaring at them, their beyblades ready to attack. Rei arms had moved to around Kai's waist who still held Anasha tightly in his grasp.
"Let her go." Rei spoke quietly into his ear.
"They'll attack us as soon as I do that." Kai rationed.
"No they won't." Rei said.
Kai turned to look at Rei, who smiled widely at his returned lover. He then turned to Lee who nodded and then placed two fingers in his mouth and whistled. This signalled off more whistles to be sounded and in no time at all, the soldiers from Rei's village came over the hills and readied their weapons behind them. Jin and his men stepped back surprised. Kai bent down to speak to Anasha.
"Are you okay?" Kai asked sweetly, a smile on his face.
"Yes, Kai-kun. I'm okay." Anasha replied, holding on to Kai.
Rei smiled at the kind attitude Kai had adopted around the little girl in his arms. It reminded him why he loved this boy so much.. He had a heart.
"I have to let you go now. Are you going to be alright." Kai explained.
"Yep." Anasha nodded.
Kai knelt down and placed Anasha on the floor.
"Bye then, Anasha-chan." Kai said.
"Bye de Bye, Kai-kun." Anasha replied.
Anasha kissed him on the cheek before running over to her brother, who picked her up in his arms and hugged her. Kai stood and was once again taken in the arms of his kitten. Kai had missed the touch and being in it after such harsh times made him want to fall asleep. But he couldn't, they still had to get out of here.
"I think we'd both be fools if we attacked each other now. Better saved for another day, right Jin?" Lee proposed, trying to get them out of this mess.
"For once I agree with you, Lee. It wouldn't be right. Until next time." Jin agreed.
Lee's men separated and let Kai, Rei, Tyson, Max, Mariah and Lee past them and to the safety of their own village. The soldiers followed, keeping an eye on Jin's own retreating men. Once they had climbed down the hill and stepped into Rei's village, he pulled Kai into a tight hug while tears ran down his face. Kai returned the hug with equal passion. He had missed this so much, being in the arms of his kitten, for too long he had had to force himself into the embrace of that bloodthirsty wolf. It scared him to be in his hold, but here in Rei's, he felt safe and warm; he could fall to sleep in Rei's arms.
"I've missed you so much." Kai whispered, holding onto Rei's shirt.
"I know, I know. I've missed you too." Rei whispered.
Tyson walked over and placed a hand on Kai's shoulder. Kai pulled out of Rei embrace to speak to him, but Rei still held his hand in his, determined not to lose him again.
"It's good to have you back, Kai. Believe it or not, we've all missed you." Tyson said with a smile on his face.
"You won't be saying that when I get you training again." Kai grinned.
"Hehe. Same old Kai. Good to have you back, bud." Max giggled.
Kai felt his hand being squeezed and looked up into Rei's loving eyes equally beautiful to the smile spread across his smooth lips. In one clean sweep, Rei picked Kai up in his arms. On instincts, Kai wrapped his arms around Rei's neck as a blush spreads across his face.
"Excuse us." Rei blushed.
Rei carried Kai away from the giggling group and into 'their' hut.
Night had fallen once again in China and Rei and Kai hadn't come out from their hut. Within the steaming hot bathroom, Kai lay in the bath just enjoying the warmth and relaxing aromas floating in the thick air. The water filled up to his torsos, his wet hair sticking to his face and neck as he rested his head on the cushion behind him. His neck was still slightly red from the lasso and the outline of love bites still reminded him of those nights spent with Jin.
Kai took a deep breath as his wet hand moved to sit on his forehead, trying to calm himself down from the rush of new memories mixing in with the very old. He didn't want to think about it now, he was back, with his kitten, and that's all that matter now, keeping him happy, which wasn't that hard. Kai wondered how Rei was feeling about all this. They hadn't talked much all day, Kai had spent half the day asleep on Rei's chest, then Rei had to make something to eat, which they then ate in silence, then Kai came in here to have a bath, which he had now spent an hour and a half in.
The door to the bathroom opened and Kai removed his arm and opened his eyes to see Rei standing in the doorway watching him, a small peaceful smile on his face. Kai smiled then shifted in the bath to sit up straighter. Rei moved and knelt down next to the bath and with one hand letting him lean on the side of the bath, he let the other collect water and run it over Kai's exposed chest. The warm water soothed Kai immensely as it hit his cold skin; Kai's position soon changed and he rested his head on the cushion once more, closing his eyes.
Rei continued this act hypnotically, filling his hand full of warm bath water then running it over Kai's chest, watching the droplets race around his curves. He had missed Kai so much, he didn't care what Jin did to him, he was just happy that Kai was with him now. He wanted to do so much to this boy to show his love for him, but at the moment, this seemed satisfactory: Kai was enjoying it and that's all that mattered, as long as he could keep him happy, nothing else mattered.
"Rei?" Kai broke the splendid silence.
"What?" Rei replied, still re-wetting Kai's chest.
"About Jin." Kai hesitated, "Nothing happened. Nothing bad anyway. Nothing, you know."
"I know." Rei smiled, overjoyed at Kai's shyness, his honesty and the simple fact that he could still be the one to treasure Kai's innocence, and allow Kai to take his.
Rei leaned over the bathtub and placed a small, but loving kiss on Kai's moistened lips. Kai groaned at the lack of contact, which made Rei giggle.
"I think you should get out. The water's getting cold." Rei suggested.
"Yeah." Kai agreed.
"I'll go put the fire on in the lounge. You gonna be okay?" Rei asked.
"I came here to look after you, not the other way round." Kai reminded him.
As Kai stepped out the bath, he put a towel round his waist and Rei pulled him to him.
"I know, but you've been through a lot just now, so I think I deserve to look after you as well." Rei explained.
"I know, just don't fuss too much. You have a village to save." Kai reminded him.
Rei laughed slightly, placed a kiss on Kai's forehead then left the room to let Kai dry off.
Rei added an extra log to the fire before settling down on the sofa and sipping on his hot drink. He watched the fire burn away the logs, bit by bit. It oddly reminded him of Kai and how he had managed to enter Rei's heart and burn it, imprinting his love on it, forever. No one had done that before, but he was glad it was Kai, because even though their relationship was rocky, it was heaven to be with such a unique character like him. Rei thoughts left him when Kai sat down on the other side of the sofa in a white cotton dressing gown, his hair, damp and falling over his eyes, which were looking at the fire as Rei's were.
Rei placed his drink on the floor and crawled over to Kai. Kai turned to watch Rei crawl on top of him and pin him underneath. Kai's heartbeat was beating quickly and his breath was already uneven. Rei moved the strands of hair from Kai's face then stroked it with the back of his index finger, following it with his hungry cat eyes. Kai automatically separated his legs to allow Rei to settle lower onto Kai. As their bodies met Kai let out a groan of pleasure and Rei had to breath deeply to calm himself down.
Rei leaned down and lightly touched Kai's lips with his, waiting for a response. When Kai bit at his lower lip to deepen the kiss, he obliged and drove deeply, kissing him with lust and hunger. Kai came back with an equal rush of emotions as his hands roamed over Rei's back, remembering the touch, reminding him of Rei's body, of his every curve, the feeling he felt and wanted to feel again. Rei's hand moved down Kai chest and underneath his gown, separating it and uncovering his chest. Kai pushed him away gently.
"What's up?" Rei asked worried.
"Nothing. I'm just really tired." Kai explained
"Okay. No rush. As long as you're not planning on run off again anyway." Rei teased.
"No, never." Kai answered.
Rei stroked Kai's face before getting up and picking Kai up in his arms and taking him to their bedroom, where Kai lay on Rei's chest, whose arm was wrapped around him possessively. As they lay like this, they fell asleep, peacefully, for the first time in three days.
IT'S NOT THE END. If u all remember there's Jin to deal with yet. Yes, finally all you Jin haters will be satisfied. But not just yet, or maybe yet... depends how long I want to leave Kai and Rei in their own little world.... We'll see. Hope you're enjoying this.
Did you see the clues? Well there was Jin's pocketknife, he never picked it up in the last one. There were hooded figures in the crowd as Kai looked around and as Kai stepped onto the stage, he dislocated his shoulder so he could pull his arms over his head. Sneaky aren't I? R+R.
Bye de Bye, and have a Merry Christmas!!! See you on the other side!
