Secrets and Desires Chap.7 You're One Too?! Part 1

"Demona! DEMONIC BLADE NOW!!!!"

Rene opened her eyes to see her angelic bit beast unsheathe her kitana while swaying her demon-like tail charging at the fire bird head on.

"Dranzer! FIRE SABER NOW!!"

Kai growled keeping his fists balled up at his side as both battling bladers as well as their friends watched in anticipation on who would become the victor...

Dranzer let out a screech before dive bombing at neck breaking speed to the amazon warrior. As both fighters clashed head on, a blinding light engulfed both bit beasts and the owners.

Red and black light circled each blader creating electric bolts of lightening as their beasts fought for dominance. In what seemed like hours when it was just two minutes the blades parted with a boom sound and a cling of metal hitting the ground.

Rei, Mariah and Fushia's pupils went into slits so they could see through the impassive light to see who was the winner, but in the end they with the rest of the teams there had to shield their eyes and wait anxiously for the light to clear up.

When the blazing light faded, Rene and Kai looked around to find their blades at the opposite owners feet lying on their sides.

"Uh..."

Kai and Rene looked at each other perplexed and then to their blades at their feet.

"Wicked match you guys!"

Max cheered punching the air with Tyson right behind

"Yeah man I've never seen such an intense battle in all my life! Especially from a girl!" he added his indigo eyes widening with excitement.

Rei laughed out loud seeing the slate haired boy and the raven haired girl's expressions as they kept their eyes on the fallen blades.

Rene bent down and picked up Dranzer's blade examining it

"I've...never...tied before..."

She managed to say still stunned that Kai's blade was still intact and was of equal power to Demona.

Kai slowly nodded his head picking up the black and red blade before walking down from the dish and up to Rene both handing the right blade to the right owner.

"Humph.I want a re-match again one day."

Rene declared as she smirked up at Kai who frowned and merely dipped his head in silent agreement.

"Splendid match on the both of you talented bladers!"

A cheery yet familiar voice chirped from the background.

Turning their heads around surprised to an old yet kind looking man with a cane and bowl shaped hat upon his head.

"Mister Dickinson!"

The Blade Breakers and Mariah exclaimed while Fushia, Rene and Kai simply glanced at him nonchalantly.

Mr. Dickinson chuckled before adjusting his glasses on his nose.

"I see you've met the new additions to the team already so I guess there's no need for introductions huh?"

He rubbed his nose laughing at the shocked expressions of the male bladers, this information even took Kai off guard.

The girls well except Rene that is laughed at the shocked expressions around them.

"Yeah Chief over there sent information about us to Mr. Dickinson while he was modifying our blades last night, and he told us that Mr. Dickinson insisted that he took us in and added us to the team!"

Mariah explained giddily while hugging a blushing and sheepishly grinning Kenny. Fushia smirked, "Yeah besides the fact that he thought it would be good to have girl bladers on the team as well, I gave him information on Rene and my past, even though I don't see what the big deal about all that was."

She folded her arms and raised a slender eyebrow to the owner of the Blade Breakers who merely laughed.

"It's essential for me to know what's up with each team member in case something happens Fushia, you understand don't you?"

He asked her keeping a warm smile plastered on his face.

"Hn..."

She sighed before tightening her ponytail. Kai felt something tapping him under his chin and glancing down he saw Rene poking his chin with a smirk.

"About time you snapped out of it, you know how long I've been trying to close your mouth from hanging open?"

She smirked while he jerked his head away from her hand with a growl. Rene folded her arms and rose an eyebrow to the stoic bluenette.

"Are you really that surprised about us joining the team?"

She asked with a hint of aggravation to her tone as she flicked her tail from side to side after pocketing her blade.

"As long as I'm still captain, I could care less..."

He stated as he adjusted his arm gauntlets flexing and relaxing his hand and forearms.

Rene narrowed her almond shaped eyes before giving him a whack to the back of his head causing the bluenette to stumble a few paces forward.

"Oh get off ya high horse!"

She lightly growled, before flipped her hair before walking up to Mr. Dickinson leaving a death glaring Kai behind.

Rei held back the urge to giggle when Rene, the only person who ever hit let alone touched Kai smacked him at the back of his head. Walking up the slate haired boy, Rei closed his golden eyes to open them back up when he was a foot away from his destination.

"Kai.as the team captain, how do you feel about the girls joining the team?"

He questioned while shifting his raven bangs out of his face so his amber eyes met with unreadable ruby.

Kai after readjusting his gauntlets and ruffling his slate hair turned to Rei.

"Those girls can do what they please as long as they stay out of my way and my business. That goes especially to that pink haired cow over there"

He snubbed out referring to Mariah. Rei held back a snicker remembering a flashback of Mariah using Kai's face paint to paint on flowers to some old shirt and wipe her face on Kai's scarf after her, Tyson and Max wrestled in the rain the last time she came to visit.

"Awe come on Kai, that was in the past, besides you seemed to have gotten the stains out of ya scarf as well as that special face paint again..."

He said with a smirk absentmindedly trailing his finger along the now stunned bluenette's cheek where his triangles didn't smudge much to the raven haired blader's surprise.

"Whoa!"

The Chinese tiger exclaimed looking at his finger which was paint free to Kai's blank expression and back to his finger.

"How?" was all Rei managed to breathe out.

"It only comes off in ice cold water..."

Kai muttered in a monotone before rubbing his own cheek to show it won't smear.

Kai shifted his gaze to Rei's red yin yang bandanna noticing something off. In the middle of the symbol, was a tear from the middle of the bandanna to the start of the amber eyed boy's forehead.

Lifting his fingers as if they had a mind of their own raised them to brush against the silk raven strands to get to the tear.

Rei froze at this unexpected action swallowing hard as Kai's warm soft fingertips brushed against his skin making his heart speed up.

Kai felt his own heart speed up as he touched, even if it was a brief moment, Rei's skin instantly mesmerized by its smoothness.

Kai looked down to the golden eyes of Drigger's owner, as Rei gazed into the perplexed endless ruby pools of Kai's, his hand absently trailing down his cheek making him bite his lip to hold in a purr.

Tyson let out a yelp snapping both intensely gazing bladers to step back from one and other and snap their heads at the comically hopping dark blue haired boy.

Tyson was jumping with joy while Max and Kenny sweat dropped, Fushia and Mariah were laughing with Mr. Dickinson, and Rene was leaning against a shaded tree with her arms folded over her chest while she closed her eyes enjoying the cool breeze against her caramel skin.

Kicking off the tree with her shoulders, Rene walked towards the two oldest males of the Blade Breakers. Opening her scarlet eyes slowly shaking her head to Tyson's stupidity, she glanced at Rei and Kai shrugging and flicking her tail.

"I said that I was bored and Mariah suggested ice cream, my treat and Tyson went well..."

She flicked her head to an over excited Tyson finishing her sentence.

Kai shook his head slowly folding his arms once more feeling the blush that was upon his cheeks before Tyson let out his outburst fade, and Rei who's blush went away moments ago placed his hand behind his head laughing.

"Yup, that's Tyson all right." he chuckled.

Rene smirked and tucked her rose streaked hair behind her elf shaped ear showing off her red marks on her cheeks making Rei cock his head curiously.

Rei lifted his hand to cup Rene's face gently while he caressed her cheek with his thumb seeing if her marks would come off.

Rene froze feeling a light blush try to creep up on her cheeks as Rei's soft yet gentle fingers stroked her caramel skin, she glanced to Kai with her ruby eyes locking onto his cherry colored ones searching for an explanation.

Kai ran a finger down his cheek on top of his blue shark fin marks showing that his wouldn't come off and that Rei was just seeing if her marks were the same, Rene flicked her tail before dipping her head to show that she understood.

Rei was at first curious to see if Rene's red markings were the same as Kai's, but when he touched the smooth cinnamon skin, it was like he could taste and smell her as well and the scent was intoxicating to him.

He tilted her delicate face so her scarlet eyes locked onto his lasciviously shimmering golden ones as he moved closer becoming engulfed in her sweet scent.

Rene's heart began to race as Rei leaned in until he was a mere inch away from making contact with her petal soft lips. Rene's feelings became mixed up seeing Kai only a few feet away with a dumbfounded expression seeing as he could do nothing without revealing his feelings to the both of the raven haired bladers, stood frozen in place.

Also with Rei, who's intention was to kiss her, both as she knew had deep feelings for her and she surprisingly felt the same way for the both of them.

Closing her eyes halfway as Rei wrapped a strong yet gentle arm around her slim waist pulling her closer she followed his lead much to Kai's disappointment, to softly yet quickly pressed her lips on Rei's before pulling back with a smirk.

Rei snapped out of his dazed state to look down at Rene who kissed him on the lips before pulling back away from his hold, to Kai who had an unreadable expression gracing his features.

Rei bowed his head down embarrassed for a million reasons.

"I-I'm sorry Rene..."

He uttered as his face became heated with blush "I...I didn't kn.-"

He began to explain himself, but Rene cut him off by pressing her fingers to his lips to stop him from talking, and to lift his chin so her ruby eyes locked onto his perplexed amber eyes.

"Sorry? For what Rei?"

She smirked before standing on the balls of her feet, kissing his forehead before looking up at him.

"You didn't do anything wrong okay?"

She raised her eyebrows to see the Chinese blader dip his head slowly making her smile. Rei gave Rene a tiny smile which was returned back to him with a smirk.

Rene walked up to Kai who shook his head from the events that happened moments ago to see the raven haired Tora-jin looking up at him flicking her tail.

"Wha-"

Kai began, but was caught off by an unexpected kiss by the scarlet eyed blader.

When Rene placed her silken lips against Kai's, he felt her slick tongue run along his bottom lip before going back into her own mouth, leaving the sweet ingratiating taste of her saliva mixed with the sweetened taste of candy which he automatically recognized as the tantalizing scent of Rei.

He wanted more, but not now, it wasn't right, pulling back he looked down at Rene who been pulled away.

"Thought that you might've wanted a kiss too ya know?"

She smirked before cocking her head pulling on both his and Rei's wrists.

"Come on you guys, Tyson's getting restless and I told the gang that I'd treat them to ice cream, that meant you guys too!"

She smirked before jogging to catch up with the others who didn't even seem to notice that the three of them were gone.

Mr. Dickinson turned around to the sound of quiet footsteps to see Rene with her arms folded and waiting to go.

"RENE!!"

Tyson wailed running up to her making her freeze like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Where ya been? Oh well it doesn't matter! Let's EAT!"

He declared, pumping his fist in the air before picking up Rene and tossing her light yet delicate body over his shoulder, before making a dash towards the mall with Rene letting out a surprised squeal.

The others watched stunned for a moment watching the always hungry owner of Dragoon sprint towards the mall with a now pissed off looking scarlet eyed, rose streaked haired Tora-jin over his shoulder.

As if on cue the other members of the Blade Breakers ran after the indigo eyed blader with Fushia and Mariah shouting out threats not to hurt Rene and Kenny and Max telling him to slow down.

Mr. Dickinson approached the two remaining bladers in the park with an ever present smile.

"Kai, it's now your job as team captain to watch over eight members instead of four, well five including yourself"

He chuckled adjusting his bowl shaped hat on top of his head.

"But I know that you'll be able to handle it with ease, and young Rei" he turned to face the golden eyed Neko-jin.

"How do you feel about having Rene, Fushia and of course your childhood friend Mariah join the team?"

He looked at the slate haired boy and then to the tiger blader waiting for an answer. Rei smiled showing his infamous fangs.

"I think it's totally awesome Mr. D. Besides it's a good learning experience as well"

He added ruffling his raven hair.

Mr. Dickinson nodded before turning towards the entrance of the park, before entering his limousine he called over his shoulder.

"I'll let the team get more aquatinted with each other today boys, I'll be back tomorrow to pick you up before we board the plane to Russia."

Seeing the boys dip their heads silently he drove away, leaving the owners of Drigger and Dranzer to walk towards the mall.

As they walked, it was filled with an awkward silence, mostly because neither of them wanted to talk about the kiss Rene shared with them, or about their feelings towards Rene.towards each other.

As the phoenix and tiger left the park they were unaware of the dark figure lurking in the shadows watching the dark angel's movements... ============================================================================ ==================================================
