AZ/DZ: Am I on a roll or what? ^_^ Geh, I wanna play DDR. Oh well. Um…I still am trying to decided for the pairings (except for Tyson and Kai). Oh well. Onto the fic.

Tsuzuki: *puppy-dog mode* AZ/DZ does not own Beyblades, Gravi or Yami no Matsuei, if she did, I would have my way with Hisoka. ^_^

AZ/DZ: Where's Shu-chan? He's suppose to do the Disclaimer.

Shuichi: I'm taking a break.

AZ/DZ: ~_~;;;

Note: * means that the Bit Beast are talking to their masters telepathically.

Suzaku gasped and smiled as he saw Kai, riding Dranzer, land in the Air Palace's courtyard with Takao not far behind. He turned to the bed where Seiryuu currently laid, sleeping.

"Seiryuu." Suzaku spoke softly. When Seiryuu didn't stir, Suzaku walked to his sleeping lover and shook him. "Seiryuu, wake up."

"Hnn…? You want some more, koi?" Seiryuu murmured not opening his eyes. Suzaku blushed at the comment and pushed Seiryuu off the bed. Seiryuu woke up with a yelp.

"What did you do that for?" Seiryuu stood up from his position in the floor and brushed himself off.

" My Chosen is here, Seiryuu." Suzaku informed the other. "And I believe we should go down and meet them."

"Them?"

"Well, I believe Takao has already met Kai." Suzaku started for the door, but Seiryuu grabbed his wrist and pulled him into a quick, sweet kiss. Then the two were silent for a moment looking into each other's eyes.

"W-we should g-go no-now." Suzaku said shakily. Seiryuu grinned and pulled his lover by the hand out the door.

********************************

"Where would Suzaku-sama be?" Kai asked the first monk he saw upon entering the palace. Takao frowned at Kai's bossy treatment.

"He won't know, Kai." Takao smiled at the monk. "Don't worry, go on with your work.

My friend here's just impatient."

The monk turned to go and Kai glared at Takao. "I need to talk to Suzaku-sama."

"I told you, that guy wouldn't know, he's only a monk-in-training." Takao explained. "Don't they have monks-in-training at the Fire Palace? You should know what they look like."

"I don't associate with the monks." Kai stated. Takao rolled his eyes. 'It figures…' He thought. Kai crossed his arms and looked at Takao expectantly. "Well…?"

" 'Well' what?"

Kai sighed impatiently. "Aren't you going to tell me where Suzaku-sama is? Or do I have to look into every room here?"

"No, you don't have to look into every room in here. I think he's in… " Takao thought of where the fire god would be, and blushed when he figured out the most likely place. "But…I don't think he can be bothered now…coz, he's probably with Seiryuu at the moment…and they're um…busy…"

Kai looked at him oddly for a moment before it dawned on him. "Oh, you mean you've caught them together? Oh well, tell me where they are. I need to speak to Suzaku-sama immediately."

Takao's eyes bulged. "You mean you know they're lover?! How?!"

"Probably the same way you found out." Kai responded looking around trying to figure out where Suzaku could be. The stairs looked like a good idea. "Now tell me where they are."

"But! But they could be BUSY!" Takao repeated. "What if…you walk in on them?!"

"That only happens when one does not knock." A voice from the stairs said. Kai and Takao look to see Seiryuu and Suzaku walking down towards them. It was the blue haired god that spoke and Takao blushed a deep red remembering what happened earlier. Takao looked down and saw Kai on his knees. He did the same as to pay respect to his god. Kai and Takao both murmured their greetings and stood when Seiryuu and Suzaku told them to.

"Well, I do not believe we need introductions." Suzaku looked at Takao and Kai. "What are you doing here, Kai?"

"I bring news from the palace." Kai monotoned. "It's very urgent, I must speak with you in private."

Suzaku frowned and nodded. Seiryuu walked to a bell cord by the stairs and pulled it. Soon a monk came and Seiryuu asked him to fix them snacks that were to be served in the West room. The four walked to the West room and each settled into chairs, Kai preferring to stand.

"I said, privately." Kai told Suzaku.

"It's alright for Seiryuu and Takao to hear." Suzaku said. He sat next to Seiryuu who was sitting opposite of Takao.

"Fine." Kai countered and took a deep breath. "The head priest for Amaterasu-sama has been to the Fire Palace. He says that something is wrong in Ryukku, the border city facing the Asota Empire's territory. Strange demons have been attacking the citizens of the city, leaving many dead."

"But, shouldn't there be a demon barrier for Ryukku?" Takao asked.

Kai nodded. "Yes. Ryukku, being a border city, has a demon barrier, but something is preventing the barrier from working."

Suzaku asked. "What else did the head priest say?"

"He said that Amaterasu-sama wants the Shitennou to investigate. The priest will also come here and help with the investigation."

Everyone was silent for a while, before Seiryuu said, "Well, I think the best course of action would be to wait for Genbu and Byakko, and the head priest. In the meantime, we should prepare for Genbu and Byakko's arrival. I believe they will be here by tomorrow. Takao?"

"Yea?" (A/N: Takao/Tyson is so disrespectful! XD)

"Please escort Kai to his room. He will be staying in the room next to yours." Seiryuu said. Seiryuu stood up and then he turned to Suzaku and offered him his hand. Suzaku stood taking Seiryuu's hand. The two were almost out the door before Takao called out to them.

"Wait?!" Takao exclaimed. "Where are you two going?!"

Seiryuu grinned lecherously and said, "Somewhere where you will not see us doing…busy work."

Takao blushed, making an indignant noise as the two lovers can be heard laughing from outside the door. He turned crossing his arms and then he saw Kai standing by the window, a blank expression on his face. Takao sighed heavily. "Guess you're stuck with me. Come on. I'll take you to your room."

Takao turned and walked out the room only looking back once to make sure Kai followed him. Takao didn't like Kai much. He was arrogant and bossy. The type of guy that seemed too uptight and wouldn't get along with him well.

*Don't worry about Kai.* Dragoon said to Takao. *He'll lighten up once you get to know him.*

"How do you know, Dragoon." Takao thought.

*Dranzer says that Kai is just like that at first.* Dragoon informed him. Takao snorted mentally. It sounded doubtful to him.

"Whatever."

Takao stopped when they reached the hallway of their rooms. He pointed to the last door and said, "That's my room. Yours is the one next to it on the right. The one on the left is my friend's Hikaru. You'll meet her when she gets back. Don't try to do anything funny with her or your head will be mine."

Kai just glared at Takao and walked into his room. Takao shrugged and muttered insults under his breath.

*Maybe the threat was a bit harsh.* Dragoon said.

"Aren't you forgetting. Hikaru is a fire child. And since Kai is Suzaku-sama's Chosen, I'm guessing he's also a fire child. Fire children are attracted to each other, like Air children are attracted to each other. I don't want anyone messing with Hikaru. She's only fourteen."

*Do you really think Kai is the type?"

"Well, I don't really know him, but I'm not taking any chances."

*You weren't like this with Max.*

"Max wasn't like Mr. I'm-so-cool-for-anyone there."

*Never judge a book by it's cover.*

Takao was about to say something when a few screams were heard from the outside. Takao ran to the palace entrance and was horrified at the site before him.

AZ/DZ: Ehehehehehe…I like seeing Takao as the big brother type. Thanks to:

Rem: I have Gravitation Tv Series and the first volume of the Yami no Matsuei manga, and that's it. You rock too! ^_^ I think I will make it Rei and Max. Thanks for the advice.

Chibi Kitty: Thanks! I also think Dragoon and Dranzer would look cute.

Well, that's about it. Tell me if ya like the chapter. Ciao!
