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!
Disclaimer: Here we go, hit it Funky!
Funky: chibi owns nothing, except for a couple of cennies (you know, pennies for pence, cennies for cents… just ignore!) and her collection of cds which isn't much of a collection, so don't sue cause she don't own!

Chapter Seven: The Shocks of Fandom.
Rei was jolted awake as the plane hit some turbulence, only to find his head on Kai's shoulder, as he leaned against the teen who was staring out the window. Quickly, he pulled back, sitting back against his seat, as he blushed slightly, muttering, "Oh, sorry about that Kai, you should've just pushed me back."
Kai grunted and replied, "it's alright, I didn't mind," missing the warmth of Rei's body.
"How long have we been flying?" Rei asked, stifling a yawn, as he looked around at the other sleeping passengers.
"Around three hours," Kai answered, shifting his weight as he turned to face Rei.
Rei yawned again, nodding, as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, and Kai inwardly smiled at how cute he looked; all sleepy-eyed, with slightly mussed hair and pouty lips. Kai groaned mentally, urging away the slight hard-on he was starting to get, and Rei was surprised to see a slight blush spreading across Kai's cheeks, and he smiled softly at how beautiful Kai really was- with his fair skin tinged with pink, and those blue triangles that went so well with his two-toned hair that fell sexily around his shoulders and over his deep crimson eyes…
'Dammit, I have to stop thinking like this or I'll get a hard-on,' Rei scolded himself, and settled for asking Kai, "So, have you slept yet?"
"No, I'm not tired," Kai answered monotonely, shrugging, while Rei rolled his eys, sighing, "You never really are, you know, you're like some sort of inhumane creature with the way you act."
Kai tensed and stiffened at this statement, but before Rei could ask what was wrong, an airhostess appeared beside them, asking, "Would you like something to eat? We have soup and rolls and a salad."
"Yes please, thank you," Rei smiled, feeling his stomach grumbling slightly, and Kai gave a short nod, and a quiet, "Thank you," as the airhostess passed in two trays of food.
A bit further down the plane, they could hear Tyson say, "Hey, I smell food, great, I'm starving!" and they laughed together, shaking their heads as they opened up the containers and started to eat. When they were finished, they sat in silence, Kai looking out the window, and Rei messing with the paper cup he got with his food. After a while, another airhostess appeared and took their empty trays away.
"Hey Rei?" Kai asked softly, turning away from the window to look at Rei who lifted his head questioningly, "Do you want to play a game of chess? It's just that I saw this nice looking travel board and I bought it for the flight, incase you were bored or something…" he trailed off quietly, realising that he had begun to ramble on slightly, and blushed.
"I'd love to play a game with you Kai, but I don't know how," Rei replied sadly, but brightened up when Kai said, "That's okay, I can teach you," and replied, "Then sure, I'd love to play."
"Great," Kai smiled, as he reached into the small carry-on bag he's brought onto the plane, and pulled out a small chess board that was folded in half.
Quickly, Kay opened up the two halves and took out all the small chess pieces contained inside. He then showed Rei where all the pieces went, and went through the basic rules of the game, and how all the pieces could be moved.
"Right, so you can be black and I'll be white. White always goes first, so I'll begin…" Kai explained, as the two teens started to play.
They held a couple of practise games, then had some more serious ones. Rei was a fast learner, and although Kai won every game, Rei had him pretty off-balanced a good few times, and a number of times almost beat him. Although there was suspense and patience in the game, there was also a high amount of competitiveness between the two teens, along with a lot of passion and nerves, and senses were heightened by the challenging looks and smirks they sent each other. They barely noticed the time passing, and soon they heard the pilot announce that all tables be set back in place, seats be put upright, hand-luggage be stored properly and seatbelts fastened, as they would be landing in New York soon. Quickly, the two teens packed up the chess set, and Kai stowed it safely away in his bag.
"That was great Kai, thanks for teaching me, it was lots of fun," Rei smiled at Kai, who gave a small smile back and replied, "You're welcome, it was lots of fun. I haven't played chess in a long time, and it was nice to play against someone who's really good. Can we play again some time?"
"Yeah sure, that'd be great," Rei smiled, blushing slightly at the compliment.
They sat back in their chairs, relaxing as the airplane made its descent into New York airport. After a slightly bumpy landing, the doors were opened and all the passengers got up and filed out off the plane. The group- the Bladebreakers, Mr. Granger and Mr. Dickenson, stuck together as they made their way into the airport, where they collected their luggage and started to make their way to the arrivals section. Just before they went through the doors, Kai grabbed Rei's arm as he said, "Rei?"
"Yeah?" Rei asked, his skin tingling, as he looked back at Kai with wide golden eyes.
"I know I have to be your leader and everything, but… do you think, we… could, be… friends, at least?" Kai asked nervously, eyes cast downwards. (1)
"I'd love that," Rei smiled, and as Kai looked up smiling, he threw himself into Kai's arms, wrapping his arms around Kai's neck, and Kai wrapped his arms around Rei's waist, hugging him back just as the doors opened.
Immediately, there was a blinding flash of a tonne of cameras, and the group was blasted back by the screams that came froom the hundreds of people crowded around the arrivals gate. Kai and Rei immediately lept apart blushing, as they stared out with the rest of the group at the massive crowd of screaming teens. Wondrously, the five boys walked forward and the hoards of girls and lots of boys even, screamed even louder, and the teens could also hear their own names being called out, followed by phrases, such as, "I love you!" "Please by mine!" "You totally kick ass," and some weird ones, like, "You're my hunny-bunny!" and "You're my god; let me worship you!" Everywhere, there were little Bladebreaker dolls being waved, and there were banners; some for the Bladebreaker group and others for the individual members, which were in sections: there was a section for Kai, for Rei, for Max, for Tyson, for Kenny- there was even a section for Dizzy and then one for the bitbeasts too! However, it was a section to the side of the group which caught Kai's and Rei's eyes. There was a large banner with the words: KAI/REI 4EVER! In large sparkly writing, and two pictures, of Kai's and Rei's heads stuck beside each other. (you all know what this is… *evil giggle* ^_^) At the front of the group were two girls, one with blondy/brown hair and large blue eyes and the other had dark brown hair and deep green eyes. They were both screaming in delight and shouting out, "KAI AND REI FOREVER! YOU GUYS ARE THE CUTEST!"
Curious, Kai and Rei made their way over to the group until they could hear the two girls shout excitedly to each other.
"Did you see that? They hugged!" the green-eyed one squealed in delight.
"I know, it was the cutest! Oh my god, I knew it, I just knew it, it's so obvious now!" the blue-eyed girl shouted in reply, "And I got it on camera!"
"Yeah, I got it on video!" the green eyes one winked, waving a video camera in front of her, "We have captured the moment forever!"
"Yeah!" the two girls cheered, giving each other a high-five and jumping up and down, waving their arms in the air, in a totally hyper mood.
Kai and Rei suddenly saw that they, and the rest of the group, were all wearing identical black t-shirts, with the same picture on them: it was Kai's and Rei's heads, all modified and moved around and messed with so that it looked like they were about to kiss, and they quickly looked at each other in shock, then looked away, blushing. Suddenly, the blue-eyed girl screamed, "Oh my god!" grabbing the green-eyed girl's arm, "Kai and Rei! They're over here! Guys! Kai! Rei! You guys are the cutest couple in the world!"
"Yeah, you're so adorable and perfect for each other, we know these other girls and guys can't have you!"
"You two are meant to be!"
At this, the two girls started cheering and screaming, along with the rest of their group, who had other pictures of Kai and Rei warped so that it seemed they were holding each other, or kissing, and dolls of Kai and Rei with their arms around each other.
'Oh god, am I that obvious?!' the two teens thought simultaneously, as they stared, blushing and in shock, at the sight before them.
"Yo, Kai, Rei! Come on, we have to hurry so we can make it through the airport, security have just about cleared a path through the crowd, we gotta run!" Tyson shouted over the noise of the screams, as he grabbed Kai and Rei by their wrists, trying to yank them away.
Jolted from their shock, Kai and Rei could only nod mutely, as they followed Tyson running through the temporarily path through the mass of screaming teens. They joined up with the rest of the group as they ran out of the airport and into a black stretch limo that stood outside waiting, the driver throwing their bags into the booth before quickly climbing into the front and speeding off down the road. The whole group let out a collective sigh as they leaned back into their seats.
"What the hell was that?" Max asked, in a slightly dazed tone.
"It seems that you boys have picked up quite a few fans," Mr. Dickenson chuckled, "Though we never thought it would be this many…"
"You mean, you knew this would happen?" Rei gasped.
"Well, ya know little dudes, it's kinda hard not to be able to figure it out, you guys are really happenin!" Mr. Granger bellowed happily from his seat, while Mr. Dickenson added, "Yes, you are after all, the best beyblading team in the world. Beyblading has become a very popular sport, and you boys have beaten some of the toughest teams in the world, including the Demolition Boys and the four best beybladers in Europe, so naturally, we predicted that this would happen, and luckily we prepared for it."
"Prepared for it? How?" Tyson asked puzzledly.
"We got you all a sort of… safe house, for you to live in. It's in a secluded part of New York, and you will be tutored there instead of going to school, for a while, until the hype dies down a bit. This will also give you all the chance to practise together more and become better as a team," Mr. Dickenson answered proudly.
"Wow, so we get out own house?" Kenny asked excitedly, "Cool! Are we going there now?"
"Yes, we want you to get settled in properly as soon as possible. Now, the thing is, neither I, nor Mr. Granger will be able to stay with you boys (oh, how convenient…), so you'll have to take care of the house, and cleaning and cooking and shopping yourselves. The shopping can be done on-line, and will be paid by the BBA, so it can be delivered to you. We know that it will be difficult for you boys to get used to the idea of being famous, especially as you will be more than likely recognised or followed most of the time you go out, but we have full confidence in your abilities," Mr. Dickenson finished with a smile, and the Bladebreakers nodded in understanding.
The group drove for another three hours (sorry, don't know how big New York is, so I'm just guessing!), until they finally came to a halt in a quiet area late that night. Sleepy-eyed and yawning, the boys stumbled out of the limo, to find themselves in a very secluded area with two houses near them, which was like a mile away.
"Here we are," Mr. Dickenson announced, going up to open the door while the boys grabbed their cases and followed.
They walked into the house and found themselves in a relatively large hall, and they winced, shielding their eyes from the bright light above them.
"Alright, there are only three bedrooms- two double bedrooms and one single, so do you mind if we keep the same as in the hotel; Kenny on his own, Max and Tyson in a room and then Kai and Rei sharing a room?"
"No, that's fine," Tyson said, while the others nodded.
"Great, well, I'll leave you boys to it, we'll be back to visit in a couple of days," Mr. Dickenson smiled, leaving the key to the house on a table in the hall, as he went back out to Mr. Granger and the two men went off to where they were staying.
"Well, we're off," Max and Tyson yawned, as them and then Kenny, went off to their rooms so they could just collapse into their beds and go to sleep, "Night."
"Night, c-ya in the morning," Rei called in reply, as him and Kai grabbed their own bags to go find their room.
"Guess you're stuck with me again, sorry," Kai grinned wryly, as they came to the door of their room.
"I don't mind, I prefer it this way anyway," Rei smiled, opening the door and giggling, when Kai gave a mock bow, saying, "After you, ladies first," as he walked into the room.
It was too dark to see the room properly, but the teens could make out what was in it: two beds, two chest of drawers, two wardrobes and a dressing table with a tv and a video on it.
"Nice," Rei commented, dumping his bag beside one of the beds, while Kai walked over to the other one.
"Mmm," Kai nodded, yawning, "Well, night Rei."
"Night," Rei replied softly, "Sweet dreams."
The two boys stripped down to their boxers and climbed into bed and immediately fell asleep, their new friendship giving them a peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams, for their new life as celebrities would begin the next day.
Well, I'm done, that was it, what did you think? *giggles* I liked the part with the yaoi group in the airport, and we'll be seeing more from them for sure! Oh, and oh my god, I saw pirates of the carribbean, it's absolutely amazing, I'm in love with the characters jack and will, and if anyone else has seen it, don't you think they'd make an adorable couple? I think they would, plus right now, I refuse to believe Johnny depp is 40- he is way too hot and young looking to be 40, it's just not fair! But still, I can always dream… *sigh* anyhoo, pleeze let me know what you think of the chapter, read and review pleeze!!!!! Farethee well! ^_^
