Chapter Three: Hold Me
~
Sitting at the table, Max could only stare at the eye candy placed miraculously before him that he almost wished he were an orphan to be able to attend this orphanage and have Kai to look at in this situation. (Aku: Loooong sentence ^^;;)
"Stop drooling." A small hand whacked against the back of his head, as the surprised and now pain-filled blue eyes clashed with... chibi blue eyes basically.
"Ow, why'd you do that?!" Max semi-glared, and semi-pouted.
"You were staring at my Kai." The shorter blonde stated matter-of-factly.
"Well, what's not to stare at- wait a second! _Your_ Kai?!?!"
"Mmhmm." Mikey smirked, his arms folded over his chest.
"No way!! He's _mine_!"
"Nu uh!" The small child leapt up, standing on his chair, pointing an accusing finger at Max. "I'm gonna protect him from weirdos like you!!!"
"What?!?!"
"Can you two shut up?" A bored voice asked, as the phoenix handed a cup of chocolate milk to Mikey, who beamed up at him.
"Sankyuu Kai!!" He slurred, trying to gain a smile from the older boy, which he was rewarded one.
Another cup of chocolate milk was handed to the older blonde, who smiled happily. "Thanks Kai." He then smirked at the other, being able to pronounce it right.
Taking off his light red – close to pink – apron (The one Max stared at while Kai wore it), Kai placed two dishes on the table, one before each blonde, who stared at the food almost like Takao would... 'cept no one can really do that.
"Hey, how come you don't drink coffee like Kai does?" Mikey flicked a piece of food at Max, smirking as the other glared at him.
"Because I like chocolate milk."
"Baby."
"What was that?!"
"I called you a baby. What? You deaf now?!"
"You drink chocolate milk too!"
"Hello?! Have you seen me?! I'm a kid!! I'm supposed to!"
The two blondes continued to argue, as Kai looked... bored. Spending so much time stuck with the Bladebreakers got him used to this. Almost. He began twitching as insults were exchanged, along with some of the food. The food _he_ cooked.
Another twitch.
A curled fist.
A would be lashing out phoenix if not for a soft, the most kawaii voice ever, calmed his nerves drastically. "Oniichan?"
A small pale hand tugged at Kai's sleeve, his scarlet eyes following along the small arm to a short blue-haired girl, who wore a lavender dress, a pair of white sparkly shoes, and a small Kai plushie in her arms. (Kai: Now plushie Kai's?! Aku: I couldn't help it ^^;;)
"Hi Satomi." Kai smiled softly, lifting the small girl onto his lap, as she snuggled into his chest. (Aku: *explodes due to kawaiiness*)
"I'm hungry..." She mumbled softly, while smiling sweetly as any child would, pulling her plushie closer in her arms.
"Wanna go out? My cooking seems to like flying around here." The phoenix looked around the room, eyeing the two blondes, who smiled sheepishly, and sighed.
"Yeah! Can we go on the swings after?!" The light red eyes looked up at the older ones, a hopeful glaze making her irises gentle and innocent.
"Okay. Go grab your jacket."
"Okay!" Satomi gave a small, quick kiss against Kai's cheek, hopped off his lap and ran up the stairs.
"You too, Mikey."
"Yay!" Mikey quickly dashed out of the room in the same direction Satomi went.
"Max."
"Yeah, Kai?"
"Help me clean."
"Awww..." A glare was sent the blonde's way. "Eep! Okay, okay! Just don't make me train more." Max started cleaning, missing the soft smile that filled the phoenix's lips.
After all the cleaning was done and the little ones had their coats, the strange group of four started walking down the sidewalk to a nearby small restaurant. Kai was holding Satomi's hand the whole way, keeping an eye on Mikey who walked a little up ahead.
'So kawaii...' Max thought, wanting to melt at the sight of an overprotective Kai. Then he went on to visualizing Kai in a dress like a mom, a flower in his hair, a ring on his figure. Can't forget the pink panties underneath. Soon, a very vivid image began which involved the dress coming off...
The fantasizing was cut briefly as the blonde met with the cement sidewalk. He looked up, wondering how he fell, only to see a smirking Mikey. "Freaking hentai." The kid skipped off to a Kai who was now opening a door, walking Satomi inside.
"Damn little devil..." Max growled and got to his feet, and caught up with the others.
Inside the peachy little restaurant, Kai ordered for the little kids and Max gave his own order to the waitress, it didn't take too long for the food to come out. Satomi ate her food politely, while Mikey... just chowed down in a Takao sort of way.
After eating, the four walked to a nearby park, the two little ones running off to play at the playground. Kai and Max took a seat on a nearby bench, as the phoenix kept his eyes on the two, more though on the younger one, Satomi. Noticing this and not very fond of silence, Max spoke.
"Satomi looks like you in a way. Same color hair and eyes."
"Yeah."
"Are you two related?"
Kai shook his head. "No, I don't think so."
"You don't think so?"
"Well, I found her right after she was born. Apparently, her mother abandoned her, so I took her to the orphanage. I mean, I couldn't take her back with me. Voltaire wouldn't allow it."
"Oh." A slight breeze passed, as Max unconsciously moved closer to the phoenix. "But, now that Voltaire is gone?"
"...I never thought about it."
"Maybe you should." Kai looked over at the blonde beside him, who was smiling, letting the breeze play with his soft blonde locks.
"Yeah, maybe."
"Satomi... that name sounds familiar. Did you give it to her?"
Kai nodded. "She had no name and the people at the orphanage let me name her. So I named her after my mother..."
'That's why it was familiar. Hiwatari Satomi... she was murdered... I saw it on the news.' Blue eyes looked over at the phoenix, wondering if Kai knew. Before, he hadn't. He thought she abandoned him. He even forgot ever meeting Max. "Kai?"
"Yeah?"
"Whatever happened to your mom?"
Scarlet eyes narrowed angrily. "She abandoned me."
'So he still believes that.' And he remembered the encountering, three years after Kai was taken. "Tala told you that, didn't he?"
"What? How do you know?" Kai's eyes burned into him to the point he knew he wouldn't be able to lie.
"Kai. We met before. Before the Bladebreakers started. When we were little, I met you."
"What?"
"You were crying. You couldn't find your mother, you said."
"..."
"And later, your mother was killed."
"..."
"And you were kidnapped. Three years after, I met you again. When Tala told me to stay aw-"
"No."
"Kai?"
"No! You're lying!"
"Why would I lie?!"
"I don't know, but you're lying! My mother abandoned me! She's not... dead..."
"Kai, listen to me-"
"No! Stop it! I... don't want to hear it!" Kai stood up, hands curled into fists. Max stepped closer to Kai, the distance between the two decreasing.
"If you won't remember, I'll make you." With that, Max pushed his lips, gently, but forcefully over the other, holding onto him desperately making sure he wouldn't pull away. He was waiting for this. He needed this. But now, Kai needed it. The blonde deepened the kiss, parting his lips and gently probing against Kai's, wanting to taste the phoenix. Moaning softly, Kai complied with the want from Max, parting his own lips, as a curious, lustful tongue searched through his mouth hungrily, filling Kai with a feeling he hadn't felt in so long. Both needing to breath, the separated, lungs gasping out for air. Kai trembled, unsure of what happened, and remembering the feeling of those lips on his.
"I- I need to go... take them home now." The phoenix walked off towards the two kids.
Max sighed, knowing he pushed a little too far, but dared to push further. "Kai... why did you change so much in those three years...?" Determined, he went after Kai.
~
"Goodnight, Oniichan." The small girl yawned, pulling her plushie closer, as if it would protect her from everything.
"'Night." Kai kissed her forehead gently, tucking the pink blanket around her small form and turning on the Dranzer nightlight. The bluenette then headed over to the second bed in the room, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"'Night kiddo." He smiled, ruffling the blonde locks.
"See you tomorrow, Kai." Mikey yawned with a silly grin, eyes slowly closing, surrendering to sleep.
Standing up, the phoenix turned to walk out, only to come face to face with a familiar blonde. "Max, what are you doing here?"
"Kai, you can't stop running."
Looking away, Kai sighed and whispered, "I know."
Before the other could speak, Kai stopped him by gesturing to the two beds. "Downstairs."
In the kitchen, Kai started the stove to boil water, his back to the blonde the entire time. Fed up with the silence, Max stood up, standing right behind Kai. "Kai."
The bluenette shivered slightly at the breath by his neck. "Kai, stop avoiding it."
"I know. I just... I knew already..."
"What?" Max spun Kai around, sick of talking to his back, looking into the scarlet eyes. "You knew?"
"I... hacked into some of Voltaire's files." Kai looked down, his bangs shadowing his eyes. "He killed her. He killed her so they could take me... to the Abbey. She was... trying to save me..."
Kai shivered, though it wasn't cold. "Oh god, Kai..." Max wrapped his arms around the phoenix, knowing the guilt he felt. Kai accepted the embrace, sinking into it. He wouldn't cry. Would never surrender enough to cry. But he would surrender to the comfort he wanted.
Max whispered gentle, comforting words, reassuring the phoenix that everything was okay, and it was over now. His life in hell was over. And the irony of it all, it was just beginning...

To Be Continued?

Aku: Okay, yeah. I was deciding whether or not to end this. Still deciding ^^;; If I have time in my lovely schedule soon to come of testing, testing and for a change of pace, more testing.
Max: Review and she'll write more! Hopefully!!
Aku: Making no promises ^^;;;; But I'll try if you want!
