Title: Unsung
Author: chibidark angel
Summary: well, I'm not too sure of a summary, but basically, it's like this: rei and kai like each other, but kai's being his usual meany self, so rei's getting all upset, but he vows to get to know kai, it's just hard cause kai keeps ignoring him!
Warning: em, there is shonen-ai, yaoi, I will probably do a lemon, there will definitely be lime and fluff! Oh, but before that, there will be some angst, but not a lot! Cause I don't really like that, sooo there you go! And there will be Mariah bashing, cause I seriously can't stand that girl!

Wow, I've never been told that before, thanks, but I must tell you, that as the fic progresses, kai will become a little bit more and more OOC, simply because he's opening up and showing his love, but I will definitely try to keep him as close in character as I can!

Chapter 1: Contemplations in the shower and more.
Kai managed to walk quickly up to the room and into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. Turning on the shower, he stripped all of his clothes off and stepped in under the water; relishing the feeling of the hot water all over his face, making him feel totally relaxed. This was the one place he could be totally himself: relaxed and carefree, no emotionless façade to hide behind, just him- Kai.
Grabbing the shampoo, he squeezed some goop out into his palm, then massaged it gently into his hair, his eyes closed and a content look on his face. However, the peaceful expression faded, as he opened his eyes and frowned, his thoughts suddenly on his Chinese teammate.
'Oh god, he's so beautiful and sweet, and I love him so much, and… were we about to kiss?' he questioned himself, the events at the airport running through his mind.
He knew that he himself was leaning in, but was Rei? Kai didn't think so, and he gave a short nod of acceptance as he closed his eyes again and rinsed his hair out, then proceeded to wash himself all over.
'No, Rei wasn't doing anything, that was just my imagination. I'll just leave this, I can't be showing my emotions; I have to remain the leader of this group, and that means there is no room for relationships.' (of course, ya'll know I'll never let that happen! ^_^)
With that in mind, Kai turned off the shower, grabbed a towel and dried himself. Wrapping the towel around his waist, he unlocked the bathroom door and stepped into the hotel room he and Rei shared, just as the door to the room opened, and a weary-looking, limping neko-jin entered, heading straight across the room and flopping down on his bed, relief evident on his face.
"What happened? Where are Max and Tyson?" Kai asked, not able to help himself.
"They're staying down to wait for Kenny, so I walked up here on my own," Rei shrugged, eying Kai's muscled, toned torso with lust-filled, half-lidded eyes.
"Oh, I'm… They should have know better," he stated firmly, walking over to grab some clean clothes, "and so should have I," he added quietly, after a moment's hesitation.
Rei smiled gratefully, opening his eyes; knowing that that was the closest he would ever get to an apology from Kai.
'Damn, but that boy is irresistible!' he thought to himself, 'So cold and withdrawn, but oh, I love him so much!'
"I think I'll go have a shower," Rei said quickly, as he half-limped, half-hopped quickly into the bathroom, with Kai keeping his back to him, trying not to get enraptured by his beautiful form.
'Shit!' Kai thought, mentally kicking himself, 'Why did I leave him? Wow though, he walked up to the room by himself with that limp and didn't even complain, didn't even show any signs of pain. (hey, that rhymes! ^_^) I have to admire that, oh, I makes me love him even more.'
So thinking, he quickly tossed away the towel and pulled on his boxers, followed by his baggy blue trousers, muscle shirt, arm bands, runners and scarf. (gotta love that outfit *drool* )
*******
"Hey Tyson, don't you think we should have helped Rei?" Max asked, worriedly watching the limping figure.
"Nah, he'll be fine. He's stronger that he seems," Tyson replied with a warm smile.
Max grinned back, feeling secure with Tyson's words. Unknown to most people, Tyson was actually pretty smart, with plenty of common sense and an unexpected air of wisdom- it was just he preferred to act like the joker of the group, plus he had a bit of a stubborn and irrational streak. Very few people ever saw the other side of him- Max was on of these few, something he cherished.
"Oh yeah, you told him we were waiting for Kenny, but he's already off to find the restaurant with Mr. Dickenson and your Grandpa," (okay, do these two actually have names?) Max said puzzled, turning to Tyson, who blushed and stammered, "Well… I- I… I wanted to show you something I found."
"Oh really? What?" Max asked, trying to sound interested, but inside, he was torn.
'Why can't I just tell him how I feel? God damn it, I have to get more aggressive!'
Similar thoughts were running through Tyson's head, while he cursed himself for not being brave enough to confess his feelings, but pushed them away, grinned manically and, reaching inside his pocket, pulled out a piece of clear crystal.
"What is it?"
"You remember when I was battling against Tala, and when I got trapped in that crystal thing?"
Max nodded, shuddering slightly at the memory of the time he'd thought he'd lost Tyson forever.
"Well, after the match, I found this piece of it at my feet, so I kept it, you know, as a good-luck charm. What do you think?"
"It's cool, and very beautiful," Max smiled, looking up into Tyson's eyes.
He found himself drowning in their warm, grey-blue depths, when he felt something being thrust into his hands. Startled, he looked down to see the crystal sitting in the palm of his hand.
"I want you to have it," Tyson murmured nervously.
"I love it, thank you so much," Max whispered, then shivered, as a breeze ruffled his hair, tickling his cheek.
"It's getting cold. Hey, do you wanna go watch tv?" Tyson suggested brightly.
"Sure," Max nodded.
"Great. Race ya up to the room!" Tyson shouted, running into the hotel, a laughing Max following.
********
Kai sat by the window, as the sun cast its final, dying rays across the earth, staring at his beyblade in his grasp. He was so glad to have Dranzer back, and he tightened his grip on his blade as he resolved never to loose her.
So wrapped up was he in his thoughts, he didn't notice the bathroom door opening; it was only when the scent of Rei's shampoo invaded his nostrils, that he realised Rei was out of the bathroom. He watched him pad around the room silently, admiring his long, jet-black hair, which flowed over his well-sculpted, muscled body, and deeply inhaled the scent of the shampoo. Kai loved the tangy, citrusy smell of Rei, it pricked his senses, driving him crazy.
Realising he had been staring, he let out a silent snort and closed his eyes, crossing his arms.
'I can't let my emotions take control of me, I can't become weak… or would I be? I mean, Rei has and shows his emotions and he isn't so bad… NO! I refuse to let stupid feelings cloud my judgement, I just won't,' Kai silently vowed, as he waited for the others to come and tell them it was time to go to dinner.
Sooooo, what did you think? I know the ending was crappy, but I was tired. Anyhooo, pleeze review and let me know what you think of my fic so far. Farethee well!
