Hey all! I'm glad you all enjoyed that. I wasn't so sure about the fight
scene. I can't write the things. _;;
Nik: You idiot pacifist. You're not going to get anywhere in life being nice to everyone.
Jostlin: She could. Just because you don't like being nice...
Nik: -_-
Jostlin: .....ok, so there's some reviews here she wanted us to answer, I think......
Nik: Screw the reviews. Can we get on with this?
Jostlin: No.
Nik: Yes. Red doesn't own beyblade. Let's go!
Jostlin: -_-;;
~`~,*|*`~,~
"We're gay."
The words seemed to hang in the air thick with tenseness.
Rei had opted to say it, knowing it would be easier in the end. Kai had already tried once and if they got an unfavorable response he wanted to be in charge.
He looked back to the three teens sitting in front of them. Tyson had a small smirk on his face, Max was just staring and Kenny looked as though he was going to explode. Not the best reaction he could have imagined, but not the worst either.
"How could you?!" Rei was right in thinking that Kenny would be the first to speak. Or yell.
"It was really rather hard at some points and easier in others," Kai said with a smirk. Rei smiled, glancing at him.
Kenny spluttered. "You two can't...be together! It's not...right!"
Tyson spoke up in his friends' defense. "Chief, they're still Kai and Rei. It doesn't make any difference."
Max nodded, recovering from his brief lapse of speech. "I guess I'm happy that you guys decided to get together if you really like each other."
Rei squeezed Kai's hand with a smile. They had come in together like that and hadn't let go yet. Kai had been pretty tense at first, crushing Rei's fingers in an iron grip, but now he was much more relaxed and in one of his 'slightly-more-cheerful-than-normal' moods.
"Who knows how long you guys could have been sneaking looks at us! We've all seen each other naked before!"
"Kenny, I assure you I have no reason whatsoever to look at any of you when you're naked."
Tyson sniggered: "Yeah, that's because you're too busy looking at Rei!"
Rei grinned at looked over at Kai. His cheeks were slightly colored, but he wasn't looking like he was going to kill Tyson, which was good.
However, Kenny wasn't going to give up that easily. "So how long have you guys been jerking off to each other? It mustn't have been too sudden if you only decided to tell us now." Rei wrinkled up his nose in disgust and Kai looked like he was on the point of laughing.
"Kenny," he said, with a chuckle, "Even if I *did*, I wouldn't be telling you, now would I?"
"I know I don't want to know," Max said, laughing.
Kenny gave a weak smile when Tyson clapped him on the shoulder, but Rei could see he was sill not very happy with the idea. Oh well. Tyson and Max didn't really mind and if they were ok with it then they were good.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Kai sat at the table in the kitchen with a cup of tea Rei had pushed on him. He watched at the steam wafted up from the top to the ceiling, apparently defying gravity and getting away with it easily. There was a soft clunk as another heavy mug was set on the table and the scraping of a chair being pulled back along the floorboards.
"So that wasn't so bad."
"No, not really," Kai admitted.
"I hate to say it, but..."
"Yes, I know, you told me so."
Kai slowly looked up from his tea and looked at his lover through his hair.
"I'm glad everything's finally under control," he said softly.
"Yeah, me too," Rei agreed.
All of a sudden, Kai felt lightheaded. He set down the mug for a second and the feeling passed. However, it also left behind a tall black-haired woman standing in their kitchen. Kai stood up sharply and Rei twisted around in his chair.
The woman was nonchalantly picking an ebony feather off her similarly colored long dress. "It must have come from the large wings sprouting from her back," Rei thought, without really realizing what he was seeing.
By the time Rei got a hold on what was going on Kai had walked around the round table in a daze, staring at her. "Raven?" he whispered finally.
"Hey baby," she murmured softly, her voice almost apologetic.
Rei was surprised to see Kai dash forward and fling his arms around the woman's waist.
"You left," he stated, desperately holding back childish tears.
"I know," she murmured. "I'm sorry. You know what I did for you when you were little? Well, turns out I'm not allowed to do that. So I got suspended."
"How could you not be around for half my life?!" he yelled at her. She flinched from the barbed words that flew in her face.
"Do you realize what kind of hell I had to go through with my grandfather after you were gone?!"
"Kai, I couldn't..." Raven tried to interrupt, but was cut off again.
"And then I was alone! How could you sit back and let that happen to me?! What kind of a guardian angel are you?!"
That cleared up a tad of the haze Rei was currently wandering in.
"Kai, I'm sorry, but I couldn't do anything about it!" Raven grabbed Kai by the shoulders. He was shaking, but Rei couldn't see if he was crying or not. "I didn't want to leave you with them, but I had no choice. You know that." She looked dejectedly at her young charge, hoping for some sort of encouragement.
"I know," he whispered.
Raven pulled him into a tight hug and he surprised Rei by sighing and relaxing into it. He felt a twinge of jealousy and had to remind himself that they had known each other since Kai was young.
"Um...Kai?" he asked carefully, not wanting to interrupt anything.
Kai pulled back from his hug and turned to look at him. He didn't know how to break his new relationship with his old friend, wanting her acceptance.
"Um, Rei this is Raven, Raven this is Rei..."
"Yes, I know hunny. I'm very proud of you."
Kai looked at Rei and then Raven with a smile. Rei collected himself and stood up, holding out a hand.
"Hi!" he said, smiling.
"Hey kiddo. So you and my Kai are together now? Great!" she enthused, taking his hand in a light grip. "You know I think I'm supposed to be taking care of you too now."
Rei was surprised to hear that.
"I'm supposed to have a guardian angel too?"
"Mmmhmmm," she commented, releasing his hand and straightening her dress.
"Everyone's supposed to have one, they're just supposed to be much more discreet than me. That's why I got suspended."
"How does that work?" Kai ask curiously.
"Oh, well the counsel found out about my visits to you and then when you stole Black Dranzer that put you in mortal danger so I got in trouble." She snickered evilly, reminding Rei distinctly of Kai. "You would have loved to see the look on the head's face when he found out what happened."
"Do you want some chocolate? I think I have some hidden from Tyson around here," Kai said turning to the cupboard.
Rei was surprised at Kai's hospitality. He wasn't usually this helpful when people were around. He must really care about her.
"No thanks hun." She tossed her hair over her shoulder and shook her wings out. "As much as I love it, I have to go if I don't want to get in trouble again. See you around some time. Well, I'll be seeing you, but you won't be seeing me. Love you..."
She folded her wings around her and then the dark feathers seemed to collapse and disappear until nothing was left except a single black feather lying on the wooden floor. Kai sighed and bent down, picking it up gently.
"Love you," he murmured.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Gah! I hope that was long enough for you.
Jostin: Sorry it took so long.
Nik: Well, we're not really sorry 'cause if we wrote it any shorter you'd hate us. ^-^
Jostlin: You love to see the brighter side of everything don't you. -_-;
It's snowing outside!!! ^____^ I'm soooo happy we finally have snow!!!
Nik: She's procrastinating again...
Jostlin: yup.
As to reviews I'd really like it if you could find specifics as to what you like and don't like. It's so much more helpful when trying to improve.
Nik: Yeah. So no more GFRM (good fic rite more) reviews.
Jostin: But we still want somebody to review, Nik!
Nik: Fine, Red can continue her ego-bloating, but we want more useful reviews so I can make her work!!!
-_-; Yes, well about the thing I promised you, I want to work on it some more, but if you want to see an early version, go to redblade.org and it should be under fanfiction. ^__^
Nik: She just said that to get people to go there. ^_^;
Jostlin: *sighs and shakes head*
It's time to go, I think, so review review review!!!
Nik: You idiot pacifist. You're not going to get anywhere in life being nice to everyone.
Jostlin: She could. Just because you don't like being nice...
