Shadow: Okies, people! This chapter is finally up. Please review and tell
me whether you think I should continue or not!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where is everyone?" Kai yelled out loud to no one. None of the boys were
anywhere to be found in the ENORMOUS mansion that Kai had weaseled from his
grandfather.
Shalimar burst in about two seconds later, her obsidian pendant glinting as
she walked, and her eyes firmly fixed upon Kai. She was clad in loose black
pinstriped pants that looked like they came from one of the various suits
she owned, a plain black halter-top, and stiletto-heeled boots. She had her
grey eyes outlined with rich sea-green aqua-ish eyeliner and eye shadow,
and her lips were glossy . Her skin was pale, as always, and her steel-hued
hair was in a simple ponytail.
Kai regarded her with one eye briefly, surprised at this interruption. He
composed his commanding aura the best that he could and cleared his throat.
"Shal, where is everyone?" he asked his friend, his eyes grazing the girl's
form incredulously, as if to ask, 'Why are you wearing those HERE?!?'
"Didn't you get the email from me? All of the guys are out dancing! We've
been wondering where you were!" she panted.
"Well, obviously I didn't!" Kai snapped.
"Touchy touchy. Looks like someone's got PMS." She teased.
"You're the woman here! I don't even look like a woman!" Kai retorted.
"You will when I'm through with you, Kai-kun!" Shalimar grinned evilly and
latched onto her friend, dragging him into his bedroom, along with a large
bag of clothes and make-up. More like two suitcases, actually.
~*~*~*~*~
"Oh Gods, don't tell me all the boys are dressed in drag!!" Kai shrieked.
"Of course they are! What else would we go in?" Shalimar looked at the
young Hiwatari as if he had asked the stupidest question in the world.
Images of Robert, Tyson, Johnny, and Michael in drag flashed in his mind.
He tried his hardest not to scream. He knew that Tala, Julian, Rei and the
rest of the boys pulled off drag like experts, but he wasn't so sure about
those four...
"You stay there while I find something for you to wear, Kai-kun." Shalimar
giggled maniacally.
"Help me Gods." Kai squeaked.
She deposited the articles of clothing and cosmetics on the bed. She then
fingered through a lot of things before she found something she liked.
Shalimar held up a navy blue slash-necked top, and a long black skirt with
a very high slit that came up to Kai's thigh.
"Put these on, Kai-kun." She smiled.
Kai sighed. "I am not changing in front of you, Shalimar Fawkes."
"Come on, Kai. I'm not the least bit interested in you as I'm also one who
goes for the same sex. Or did you forget?"
Kai shook his head, and reluctantly pulled the top over his head and
straightened it over his torso, blushing in embarrassment as he saw how
good he looked.
"And you sure as hell aren't wearing boxers!" She grinned at the young
Hiwatari, awaiting his reaction.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO WEAR THEN!!?" Kai hollered at his friend.
She chuckled and held up a very small piece of... of... he couldn't even
tell what it was!!
Shalimar, noticing the clueless expression on his face, told him what it
was.
"It's a thong, baka." she smirked.
Kai immediately froze after he heard what Shalimar had said.
"I-I-I dunno if I wanna w-w-wear THAT!" He squeaked out in fear.
"Like it'll hurt. Nobody's gonna look up your skirt, Kai. Except for maybe
Rei, that is. You know you want him." Shalimar winked and flicked Kai's ass
with a belt that was lying on the bed, earning a squeal from him.
"FINE! I'LL WEAR IT! But you have to do something for me when we get back
home, got it!!?" Kai glared daggers at her.
"No problem. NOW PUT IT ON! WE'RE LATE ENOUGH AS IT IS!" She waved her arms
around angrily.
After she said that, her cell phone rang.
Shalimar grasped it from the pouch that was attached to one of her belts,
and flipped it open, asking angrily, "WHAT!?"
It was Tala that had called her.
~*~*~*~*~
"Geez! I just wanted to know how everything is going with Kai!" Tala
smirked and looked at his perfectly polished nails with a pleasured look on
his made-up face.
"Everything is fine! We'll be there in about 30 minutes tops, Tala-chan."
Shalimar replied.
"So, did you get him to put it on?" Tyson yelled into the receiver.
"Yes, I did, Tyson, now give the phone back to Tala, NOW!" Shalimar
screamed.
"Sorry about that, Ty-kun's a bit, what shall I say, drunk." The auburn-
haired beyblader simpered with glee.
"I can see that, now look, I gotta go, Kai's finished dressing, now I gotta
do his makeup. Ja!" The older of the Fawkes siblings hung up.
Tala sighed and shut his cell phone, putting it back in the handbag he had
brought with him. He sighed and fussed with his midnight blue cheongsam,
removing bits and pieces of stray fabric. He tapped his heeled foot
impatiently. His shoes and hadbag were made of the same material as his
dress. He grabbed a mirror and fixed his hair and makeup. Before he shut
it, his blew a kiss to his reflection.
"I swear to Ra, I can't wait to see this!" Enrique grinned and hiked up his
black suede miniskirt. He had even gone to the trouble of shaving his legs.
He adjusted his red halter-top, and fixed the left zipper on his black
suede thigh-length boots.
Michael came up to the crowd of cross-dressed males. He was wearing a white
tube top, a red plaid miniskirt that clung to his hips, and knee-length
white boots. His lips were a shocking red, and his eyes were outlined with
blood red eyeliner.
Emily and Mariah, both holding tall glasses filled with vodka, followed
him.
Robert was surprisingly wearing something other than his usual. He had on
plain black jeans with a lot of tears in multiple places, and a midriff
shirt with the hourglass symbol that a Black Widow spider had on its
abdomen. He wore mascara, and black lipstick. He actually was mistaken for
a female many times that night.
Tyson was goofing off, wearing a cute pink sparkly dress, and sparkly pink
platform shoes. His eyes were outlined with a soft pink eye shadow, and his
cheeks were a glowing baby-pink. He refused to let anyone put lipstick on
him. He didn't use his hair gel to make his hair super-spiky, so he looked
a lot girly-ish than you would think!
Oliver was fighting with Johnny over who looked more like a woman, with
Julian attempting to stop them arguing.
Oliver was a close second, him wearing a long-sleeved blue shirt, with
rainbow stripes across the bust, and his favorite blue leather pants, which
were the same color as his shirt. His shoes had rainbow laces, and were a
deep black. He loved them, as he had received them as a gift from Robert.
Johnny on the other hand, he went all out. Fluffy hair clips, pink
lipstick, and silver eye shadow. His Catholic schoolgirl uniform that he
had stolen from Emily was complete with the knee socks and Doc Martens. He
had even gotten Mariah to fix his hair cutesy for him. He was definitely
the winner.
Julian, he wore a black leather collar, with BIG buckle around his neck, a
fairly tight black top that fell off one shoulder, and dark-grey parachute
pants, which had a stripe the same color as his top, running down both
sides. His sneakers looked very worn, but still fitted him comfortably. He
was slightly shaking in anger.
Max had dyed the tips of his ultra-shiny bright-blonde hair red. He looked
like a female out of all of the boys, except for maybe Rei... He had gone
with his favorite outfit, a red vinyl tube dress with knee length boots and
gloves made of the same material. His eyelids were red, and his lips were
glossy and pert.
He giggled and ran over to Rei, who had males and females alike surrounding
him.
Rei wore a gold mid-calf dress, and had tiny crystals adorning his hair,
which was out of its usual bindings for the night in his hair. He had shiny
mauve lips, and his eyelids were adorned with small golden gemstones and
shiny golden-green eye shadow. On his feet he wore strappy spike-heel
shoes. He was holding a glass of Bacardi silver, smiling sweetly as people
fawned over his adorable looks.
Julian broke away from his watching of Oliver and Johnny's conversation and
snatched Rei away, much to many people's disappointment, and lead him over
to Tala and Michael, who were talking animatedly. It was time to put the
plan into action.
~*~*~*~*~
Shalimar squealed over her handiwork. Kai had shiny pink lips, navy blue
eyelids, and his knee-length black boots and skirt totally made him look
surprisingly female. His hair had been brushed until it fell about his
shoulders, straight, to his mid back. Much to his dismay.
"Okay, can we go now?" Kai sighed.
Shalimar grabbed Kai's hand, and lead him out the front door, and shoved
him in the direction of the black convertible Corvette that she had
'borrowed' from Tala.
"Get in, I want to hurry and get there!" Shalimar hopped on one foot and
another in a happy dance.
Kai hopped over the door, and plunked in the seat. Putting on her seatbelt,
Shalimar revved up the car, and drove down the long driveway that lead to
the Hiwatari Estate.
Once on the freeway, Shalimar sped up a little.
She didn't want to get another ticket, just because she decided to have
another joyride.
They got to the front of the club in about ten more minutes.
Handing the keys to the valet, Shalimar grabbed her friend's hand, and
ushered him inside of the club, grinning.
~*~*~*~*~
"So, how do you expect us to find them?" Kai snarled.
"Easy, look over there!" Shalimar pointed to the crowd.
Kai could see Max and Michael dancing with one another, and Tala and Johnny
dancing in sync in the middle of the floor, a crowd encircling them.
"Hey, Rei looks cute!" he squeaked, blushing a bright pink.
"Go down! The boys'll be near the bar. Go on! I'm right behind you."
Shalimar smiled and ushered her friend down the stairs to the bottom floor
of the club.
~*~*~*~*~
"Well, well, well! Look who decided to show up!" Tyson grinned as he saw
Kai and Shalimar walking over towards them.
"Ooooh, someone looks sexy!" Mariah grinned and downed another vodka, then
hiccupping.
Emily giggled drunkenly and slammed down another twenty dollars, getting in
return two more vodka's. She handed one to Mariah.
"Oliver, you look like a girl." Kai's eyes bulged out.
"Isn't that the whole idea!?" Rei, grinning, walked over to the other males
with Julian, Tala, and Johnny.
Kai immediately blushed again.
Tala reached in his little handbag and pulled out a lighter and two
cigarettes. He handed them to Michael, who had been bugging him for some,
and practically threw them at the All-Stars captain. He noticed that Kai
was staring at him.
"What are you looking at, Kai?" Tala frowned.
"You." Kai smirked. "You look so feminine I wish I had a camera."
"Why, you like what you see?" Tala gave a very flirtatious pose and
giggled. He ran his hands down his body sexily, causing the other to blush
even redder.
Oliver burst out laughing at this, latching onto Robert, who was sniggering
also.
"So, are you going to ask me to dance, or are you just going to keep
drooling, Mr. Bad-Ass team captain?" Noa raised an eyebrow in amusement.
"Tala, don't bait him..." Tyson stared at him, awestruck that anyone could
get Kai blushing like that.
"Sure. I can do that for you." Tala winked. "Now, are you going to stand
there? Because I've got tons of people that would love to dance with me,
you know." Tala tapped his foot impatiently.
Kai sighed reluctantly, and held out his hand, for the other male to take.
Tala gratefully accepted, and wearing the spike heels he currently had on,
was now up to Kai's height.
Shalimar ran up to the DJ, a knife in her hand, just in case if he didn't
want to cooperate, and demanded that he play a romantic song. She
unfortunately, had to resort to violence, and poked the blade of the knife
in the DJ's chest, grinning.
The DJ squeaked, and immediately played something more suitable to
Shalimar's current tastes.
The girl smiled when the voice of Kylie Minogue blasted from the speakers.
Max grabbed Enrique and lead him from the floor, letting Tala and Kai have
the limelight.
Rei shook his hips sexily and sung along the words to the song.
"Thought that I was goin' crazy, just after one of those days, yeah. Didn't
know what to do, then there was you. Everything went from wrong to right,
and stars came up and filled up the sky. The music you were playin' really
blew my mind. It was love, at first sight!" he sung cutely.
Tala grinned and hugged Johnny close to him.
Rei grinned and watched Tala and Kai dance. "I swear, Tala, you better pull
this off."
Tala grinned in sheer delight, as the young Hiwatari spun him and then
dipped him, connecting their foreheads together.
"You know, Kai. I really think you're pining."
"For what, may I ask?"
"You tell me."
"Tala... Oh, fine. You've won your bet. Now tell me. Does Rei feel the same
as I do?"
"You can check for yourself. The poor DJ's shit-scared of Shalimar now,
he'll do anything she tells him. Get something slow on, something that
describes him. You can do this, Kai."
Rei turned around as he felt someone tap him on his shoulder. He turned
around, and saw Tyson smiling at him.
He allowed himself to be dragged onto the floor, and danced with the self-
appointed leader of the BladeBreakers, closing his eyes and letting the
captivating song by the Smashing Pumpkins, entitled "Soot and Stars," flow
through his senses.
"Rei?" Tyson whispered into his dancing partner's ear.
"What is it?" Rei looked up with watery eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm happy. I finally know where I belong, Tyson. For once in my
life, I have a family. A family that I know will never give up on me, and
never hurt me." Rei smiled. "Thank you, Tyson Granger. Thank you, for being
a part of my soul."
Tyson wiped away the tears that were threatening to spill from Rei's eyes.
He hugged him closely.
"And I thank you for allowing me to be apart of you."
*~*~*LATER*~*~*
The music had become softer.
The boys and three girls had all crowded around the bar, ordering numerous
alcoholic beverages, and talking about random things.
But only two remained on the dance floor.
Shalimar, Tala, Julian and various other members of the conspiracy had
coaxed Kai and Rei into dancing with each other. Tala had even gone to the
trouble of stuffing a fistful of banknotes down Rei's dress.
Kai held Rei close to him, and whispered the lyrics of the song that was
playing, into his ears.
"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do.
Yeah, they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you, and all
the things you do. And it was called yellow. So then I took my turn, oh,
what a thing to've done. And it was all yellow..." Kai sang softly to the
lyrics of the song by Coldplay, "Yellow", his baritone bringing out parts
of the song that were particularly beautiful.
Shalimar looked over to the dancing couple, while sipping her strawberry
margarita, sighing in between those sips. A gentle smile was on her face.
"What is it, sis?" Julian looked up to his obviously entranced sibling,
after glaring at the obviously drunk Tyson for throwing at least fifteen
innuendos into his conversation with Johnny, who was just as intoxicated as
Tyson was.
"It's love. That's what it is." Shalimar smiled and wiped away the stray
tears of happiness that were falling from her eyes, and pointed at the two
males on the dance floor.
me whether you think I should continue or not!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where is everyone?" Kai yelled out loud to no one. None of the boys were
anywhere to be found in the ENORMOUS mansion that Kai had weaseled from his
grandfather.

lyrics of the song by Coldplay, "Yellow", his baritone bringing out parts
of the song that were particularly beautiful.
Shalimar looked over to the dancing couple, while sipping her strawberry
margarita, sighing in between those sips. A gentle smile was on her face.
"What is it, sis?" Julian looked up to his obviously entranced sibling,
after glaring at the obviously drunk Tyson for throwing at least fifteen
innuendos into his conversation with Johnny, who was just as intoxicated as
Tyson was.
"It's love. That's what it is." Shalimar smiled and wiped away the stray
tears of happiness that were falling from her eyes, and pointed at the two
males on the dance floor.
