Where Would I Be? Chapter Three: Stinging Sensations.

Dual-kun: Hello, I'm back!

Rei: Yeah, you are...

Dual-kun: ~Smiles~ Rei's the kitty and Kai's the puppy!

Kai and Rei: Shut up.

Dual-kun: Okay, well on wit the story! Oh yes, I don't own Beyblade, if I did why would I be writing a FAN FICTION?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai sighed. He'd forgotten that their 'spring redecorating', as Rei called it, was on Friday. Meaning today was Saturday, and he was stuck with nothing to do.

Rei, surprisingly, had a small television, which he sat on the desk. Kai put his laptop beside it. Rei now sat in Kai's office chair watching television. It looked as though Rei was the kind to watch Saturday morning cartoons.

Kai climbed down from his bed and looked at the TV. Right now there seemed to be an endless stream of commercials and it looked as though Rei was more of staring off into space than watching the TV.

"Nothing on?" Kai asked waking Rei out of his daydreaming.

Rei blushed innocently. H nodded and looked at the TV, sighing slightly. "There's nothing to do..." he decided getting up.

"Want to do something?" Rei asked.

"Like what?"

"I don't know...how about a quick walk about the mall, or uh, we could ya know do something. It would sure beat the hell out of sitting around and being bored all day."

Kai shrugged. "Whatever, I don't care..."

"Okay!" Rei said happily, grabbing Kai's arm and puling him out the door, Kai stopped him making sure to lock their door.

Lee stood at the bus stop as the two approached. He turned to see Rei holding Kai's arm and Kai looking away like he was the plague.

Lee smiled. "Hello Rei," he taunted.

Rei looked up, blushed and let go of Kai's arm, leaving a thankful Kai. Kai also looked up.

"Hello Lee, long time no see," Rei mumbled.

"Yeah, I heard you got moved to another dorm. And I'm guessing he's your new roommate?" Lee asked suspiciously looking Kai over.

Kai cocked an eyebrow as Rei lowered his head blushing bright red and nodded. Lee 'humphed' and turned away as the bus pulled up to a stop. They all boarded the bus and sat near eacthother. Rei sat beside Kai and Lee sat in one of the separate one-person seats.

Rei looked totally away from both Lee and Kai. And Kai found himself glaring at Lee whenever he would even so as glance at Rei. What's wrong? Why was he behaving this way? He's never felt like this to anyone before. Why now?

He looked at Rei, who he caught looking at him. He cocked an eyebrow as Rei quickly turned his head. Kai almost thought he'd get whiplash from that, but surprisingly he didn't.

They made it to the mall, finally, that ride lasted forever. They slowly got off and Rei quickly pulled Kai far, far away from Lee. Kai glanced confusedly at him before shrugging him off.

"What's wrong?" Kai asked as Rei looked nervously around.

"Nothing, just I don't want Lee pestering us!" Rei growled, now glaring around.

"Why did you have to hold my arm like that?" Kai asked coolly.

Rei blushed; he seemed to be making a habit of that lately. He shook his head and acted—well more of tried to act as if he was ignoring Kai's question. They walked slowly through the slightly crowded mall in an awkward silence that hung over them like bad BO.

They walked around the mall. Maybe sitting in the dorm being bored was better than walking around the mall, at least then you would be sitting. But Kai didn't say anything and Rei seemed to be caught up in his thoughts, or whatever it was he was doing.

They strangely made their way to the Café Catz, again. Kai didn't really think about it, but he was actually hungry. Deciding that he would break the silence, "Are you hungry?" Kai asked in a sly voice seeing Rei twitch gave him an odd satisfaction.

Rei nodded shyly. They made their way in and were seated immediately, kind of odd but not really. They ordered and Kai found himself trying his best to not stare at Rei—and failing.

Rei looked up and caught him staring, but Kai wasn't going to make the same mistake Rei did, so instead he smiled, a soft genuine smile. Rei blushed, deeper than ever before, and he smiled too.

"I've never seen you smile" Rei said quietly.

Kai's eyebrows went up.

"You should do it more often..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Throughout the rest of the day Kai found himself with a stinging sensation over his simple new friend Rei. He soon found himself on the bus lost in his thoughts as he tried to figure out what these feelings he had every time he looked at Rei were.

"Kai! Kai! Hello Earth to Kai?!" Rei's voice interrupted.

"What?"

"We're here. We're back at the dorms."
