Nakoruru: You're doing well for yourself.
Rimnerel: Hey everyone, for a chapter, my sister's with me.
Nakoruru (waving): Hello nice to be here.
Rimnerel: I would like to thank Jay Kamiya, Matty TalaBryan rulz, AngrySoul, Liika, Merodi, Raven Star, B. Tiamat Atardecer, and Arys. And a special thanks to Merodi absolutely loving that part with Tala and Kai in the last chapter. My sister has to take credit for that cause she put it in.
Nakoruru: Yes, I know I'm brilliant. I have another little tidbit for everyone in this chapter too. I hope everyone enjoys it.
Rimnerel (^ ^): Okay, now that we've fed your ego, let's get this started.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenny lays in bed on his back looking up at the ceiling, his mid went over everything that had happened. From Tala's disappearing acts earlier that day to the others finding out and the red head being stationed in a hospital. This was the first night in about three weeks that he had slept in his own bed. Or tried to sleep was more like it.
*It's not right. It doesn't feel right at all. *
Turning over on his side, Kenny inhaled Tala's scent that clung to the pillow and covers. Even though Tala was still within reach, the male felt ten thousand miles away. Kenny's eyes watched the shadows playing on the wall thinking about whether or not he could continue like this.
At some point he would have to speak his mind either that or go crazy. Kenny did not want to lose Tala, yet he did not want to get hurt either. The pain of rejection weighted heavy on him every time he thought about Tala. About their kisses, Tala's touches, his voice, his scent, everything. Tala drove madness through Kenny's head at the amount of need to make him like Kenny, and to have him feel the same way.
*You should tell him! * Kenny's brain chimed.
"But. . ." Kenny started.
*Buts are just excuses. If you like him, tell him then. Don't be such a pussy! *
"What if he doesn't like me?" Kenny whispered carrying on conversation with his conscious. Everything could go wrong in this situation. Not just Tala rejecting him.
*You won't know until you say something. And if he doesn't feel the same way, we can work on that. *
Kenny smiled at the tiny assurance and comfort embedding away his uncertainty. Tomorrow he was going to try and see if he can make Tala understand why everything he did affected Kenny on a deeper level. He would gather up all his courage to tell him and let him know Kenny wasn't going to back down from him. A yawn escaped Kenny's lips as he turned over on his side.
"Tala. . ." Kenny felt his eyes growing heavy as he fought to stay awake a little bit longer. Was the reassurance in his mind that powerful to lull him to sleep? Or was it because of that cinnamon scent swirling into his nostrils, easing his brain into slumber. "Tala. . .I. . ."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
[Kenny's Dream POV]
I'm sitting in my room typing on Dizzi when I happen to look up to find Tala watching me from the bed. His eyes are different than any other time I've seen them. They're light and warm as he gets up from the bed. He walks over to me. I wonder what does he have planned.
Tala, I say, but he doesn't answer me. I call out his name again as he pulls me from my seat. Leading me back to the bed with a smile that could have melted my heart. What did he have on his mind? Before I can ask again, we're kissing. Oh god this feels so good. I can feel his hand underneath my shirt, thumbing my nipples in a slow teasing manner.
We crash back on the bed, his weight on top of me as he continues kissing me. I want to cry because I can hear him whispering how much he loves me as his lips travel down my neck. His hands unbutton my top. His hands work with swift expertise as all our clothes fall to the floor.
He continues kissing me all over. He continues telling me just how much he loves me as he readies to take me. He asks me if I love him in return. I cry his name out as he takes me. I tell him everything and he smiles at me with the sweetest smile ever. His hands touch me, roaming over my naked body as we both. . .

[Normal POV]
Kenny called out Tala's name was he woke up. Light streamed in through the curtains as Kenny sat up. His entire body felt funny, almost like he was drained of all his energy. As Kenny began to move to get up out of bed, the brunette noticed the damp feeling trickling down his leg. Throwing back the covers, he found his underwear and some of the sheets stained with a white substance. A flush came to Kenny's cheeks realizing what it was on his cover and what had caused it.
"Kenny, are you up yet?" his mother knocked on the door. The youth jumped, pulling the covers back around him as the door was pushed open. Kenny forced a smile on his face, despite his secret little embarrassing situation.
"I'm up. I was just about to get out of bed," Kenny said, hoping to God that she did not notice how red he was. He would have to wash out his own sheets and underwear. The last thing he needed was his mother asking about the semen-stained material. Wet dreams were one thing, but wet dreams about another male. . .no, definitely not a conversation to have with his parents.
"All right. Max and Takao are waiting downstairs for you." His mother smiled, oblivious to Kenny's little accident.
"Tell them that I'll be right down in five minutes," Kenny said as his mother moved from out of bed, stripping off the sheets and cover. Piling them into the corner, Kenny grabbed a clean pair of underwear and headed for the bathroom. Within five minutes, the young man was dressed for school. Picking up his bag, he headed downstairs with a slight hesitation to look behind him. "I'll be back later." That seemed to make the air light. With a smile, he closed the door and locked it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenny was well aware of the side-glances he was getting from both the blond haired young man with freckles, and the blue haired male walking beside him. Kenny looked down at his feet as he walked, but back up at them a moment later. Why were they staring at him so intently?
"Guys," Kenny started hesitantly. "Is there something on your minds or something?"
"As a matter of fact, there is," Tyson said. "I still don't know why you would save him. It doesn't make any sense at all."
"I thought you two were on even grounds?" Kenny asked, remembering at the end of Tyson and Tala's match how Tyson had held his hand out to the Russian blader. At first shock registered in those azure eyes, then a smile as warm and genuine as Kenny's feelings for the male rose to that beautiful face. A smile of mutual respect.
"Yeah, but he doesn't seem to have changed from what you're telling me. I thought that match we had shook off some of that coldness," Tyson replied, crossing his arms over his chest with a frown. "He could have hurt you or something."
*Believe me, he has, but not to the point that I'll just let him walk away like nothing has happened. * Kenny thought to himself. But to answer Tyson, the young man put on a smile of cheerfulness, shaking his head. "I don't think he would."
"How can you be sure he wasn't going to?" Tyson questioned.
"Because I'm still up and walking around," Kenny countered with his smile intact.
"That's a good point Kenny made," Max said finally after his study of the male. Max, by now, had figured out that Kenny really liked Tala. It was so obvious to him now. The way he described his crush, the eagerness to go home all those days ago, and that look in his eyes. Both full of love, but with nervous anxiety towards what it would all bring. Tala must not be all that bad if Kenny still held on. Max wondered if Kai knew the blonde had a pretty good feeling that he did. Kai, after all, tended to be the first to recognize things about every one of the Bladebreakers. Max was certain that out of everyone on the team, Kai kept a watchful eye on the brunette.
Tyson looked over to his friend with a stare of disbelief. Max wondered why Tyson was really in such opposition towards Tala and what Kenny had done to help him. "Not you too. Come on Max, dude, you can not tell me that you weren't in the least bit thrown off by it!"
"I was a bit shocked, but it was for a good reason, so everything's fine."
"Dude, you're impossible," Tyson said shaking his head. "Have you completely forgotten? Kenny was there with us through it all."
"What?" Max queried. "What are you getting at?" Both Kenny and Max watched Tyson looked up at the sky.
"I just couldn't believe it when Kenny told us all. I want to know why he would just do that all alone. I mean Kenny and I have been through everything. From my first battle with Carlos to helping me become the blader I am now. He's my buddy and it sort of. . ." Tyson blushed, then grinned with one of his huge smiles. "Made me want to wring his neck for not coming to me first."
"Tyson felt like he wasn't important. That's typical," Hilary said walking up.
"What was that?" Tyson yelled at her.
"You think everyone should come to you first so you can be important and all, but you also have a huge mouth that you can't keep shut," Hilary pointed out. "If I was Kenny I would have done the same thing."
"Nobody asked you!" Tyson's face lit up like a tomato about to burst as he stared at Hilary. "And why are you walking with us today?"
"Duh, we go to the same high school. Get with it Tyson," Hilary rolled her eyes. Ignoring how irate the blue haired male was, she turned to Max and Kenny with a warm smile. Both young men had a feeling she only did things like that as a source of amusement. "Good morning Max, Kenny."
"Good morning," Kenny replied.
"How are you doing this morning, besides tormenting Tyson?" Max grinned.
"Oh fine. But I spent a quarter of the night wondering about Kenny's friend. You know Kai stayed behind and he has an air of "cheeriness" circling around him." Hilary shook her head, emphasizing the word cheeriness with sarcasm.
"Tala's fine I'm sure," Max said. "I don't think Kai could say anything to dissuade him."
"How can you say that?" Hilary stated. "I've seen Kai in his moods. It's enough to freeze polar bears to death with Kai's coldness."
"Both Kai and Tala grew up in the same place, so I'm sure insults were rifled back and forth all the time," Kenny explained.
"They grew up together?"
"Well, we're not all too entirely sure. Kai doesn't really say much about Tala, himself, and the abbey they grew up at. Both were raised to be great beybladers, that's about all we know," Max said. But neither Max nor the other two Bladebreakers were willing to tell Hilary most of what Kai told them. Though Hilary knew how to keep her mouth shut, unlike a certain glutton blader, her face sometimes gave away that she had a secret. Kai would probably read through it and who knew what he would say.
"So this Tala person is a blader too?" Hilary questioned.
"I fought him to become World Champ," Tyson remarked proudly.
"He was world champion before. Wow. Now I really do have to meet this guy," Hilary said.
"Actually, I have a favor to ask," Kenny said. "Do you think you can help Tyson with his homework since I didn't get a chance to yesterday? I don't think our world champ needs to lose that battle."
"Sure, I would love to put him through the wringer," Hilary replied.
"Thanks Hilary," Kenny smiled. "And I promise to bring you with me another day that I visit Tala." He couldn't have the others tag along with him today. Today was the day he was finally going to tell Tala how he felt. The last thing he wanted was a crowd of spectators.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenny stood in front of the door to Tala's room. His hands shook miserably as he reached for the handle. So far, this was going bad. And after thinking of his plan all through school too. He had built up everything in order to tell Tala, but now he was losing it completely.
*I have to get a hold of myself. If he sees me freeze up, he won't take me serious. Take a deep breath. Just relax. The worst thing that can happen is he say he never wants to see me again. *
Kenny groaned at that idea. This seriously wasn't going well. There was no way he would be able to do this. Tala was not going to take him serious, he was going to fall apart, and it would be over. Kenny didn't want things to end like that, but at the rate he was going. . .
"You need to learn to calm down. You'll worry yourself into a grave," came a voice behind him. Turning his head, he found Kai watching him.
"Kai."
"If you plan on telling him, you need to calm down. You'll only stammer," Kai advised. Kenny nodded in agreement, but he somehow could not get his heart out of his throat or the butterflies to go away. "If you're still afraid, it's best not to tell him just yet."
"I'm not afraid. I'm just a bit nervous. I don't know what he'll say," Kenny replied. "You know how he is. He'll think that I'm just---"
"You'll never know until you say something." Reaching for the handle, Kai opened the door, shoving Kai inside, then shutting the door close. This would either strengthen the brunette or kill him one. Hopefully it was the first of the two options. Kenny was about to scream out Kai's name when he realized that a pair of azure eyes was watching him. Kenny flushed, realizing that Tala must have heard him and Kai outside the door talking.
"Conspiring wit Kai now, how nice," Tala remarked, turning his eyes back to the window. Kenny could hear the undertone of the words and flushed again.
"It's not like that at all. I just came to visit you. Kai must have come after I did," Kenny exclaimed, knowing already that things had jumped off to a bad start. The last thing he wanted was the male thinking that he was plotting something with Kai.
"Isn't that just convenient?" Tala replied sarcastically.
"Tala please. I came to see how you're doing. I didn't come here to argue with you. Just listen to me, please." Kenny walked over to the bed where Tala seated. Taking a seat next to the red head, Kenny glanced down at his feet. "I came to tell you something really important."
"What is it?" Tala replied growing increasingly irritated.
"I---" Kenny's heart seemed to leap into his mouth, making it harder for him to breath or even talk. "I---"
"Will you spit it out? If you---"
"I'm in love with you!" Kenny cried out, interrupting Tala's snide remark.

Rimnerel: Okay, there's what we have. My sister and I took turns with this chapter, so good or bad, this is our final product. How did you like it?
Nakoruru: The next chapter's going to be interesting to write.
Rimnerel: Yep! We finally get down to Tala's secret, and what Kenny's confession will bring. I hope everyone will R & R. The next chapter will be out next Wednesday. So until then.
