A/N: Well, it seems people liked the last chapter {smiles} I seriously didn't think that a party with alcohol would be a problem to anybody, but for those who feel they need a bit of explaining there are replies to reviews at the bottom of this. Other than that, if you read the last part you'll know roughly what's going on here so I won't write warnings and whatnot; I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out on your own.

I do not own BeyBlade!

Please do read and review!

Dear Diary – Caveman Kai

–

Dear Diary,

Whoever thought up alcohol should be shot! And whoever came up with the stupid idea of throwing that BBA party should be shot as well! As should every and any guy who bought Rei drinks, danced with him, and even touched him!

True, technically I can't blame Rei's "special friends" for my hangover, but I can blame them for getting close to him so that I had to get myself drunk to begin with in order to actually be able to get closer to him.

Now, of course, I must ask myself if it was even worth it.

And despite my enormous hangover, which is quite strange considering my tolerance for alcohol, I am Russian after all, I'd have to say yes.

God yes!

At five o'clock in the morning so hung-over that I can't sleep anymore and so sick that I know I'll be making friends with the toilet very soon, I'm finally ready to admit that last night was the worst and the best thing I have ever had happen to me. I have never been closer to dying than I am now, at least that's what it feels like, and yet I'm ready to do it all again, except this time I wouldn't need a pep-talk from Hillary and Tyson and I'd make sure that I got to Rei before everybody else did so he wouldn't have to go through all those people before he got to me.

Maybe I'd even make it so that he'd be sleeping with me in my room instead of down the hall, but if I recall correctly he was even more inebriated than I was, meaning he's probably sleeping with his head in the toilet instead of in his bed…

And I absolutely need to think about something that isn't toilets right away.

Just because I left the lights on in my bathroom doesn't mean I'm dying to go there, so nausea get lost!

Why we do this to ourselves is really beyond me!

–

I assume there are some things I should explain a little more carefully.

You see, I'm not exactly Mr. let's-go-have-a-party, but the BBA arranged this one so we had to go. Secretly I actually felt like going this time because things with Rei have improved ever since Hillary's magnificent picnic and I thought maybe we'd do something together.

And yes, you can safely translate the word something to kissing and touching and whispering, cause that's mostly what I had in mind.

Seriously, nobody can have a civil conversation at a party with loud music and dozens of intoxicated people. Sometimes it's just better to do what has to be done and then talk about it afterwards. In any case whether it was right or wrong, that and nothing more was my brilliant plan for the party.

It backfired like I don't know what.

Usually when I think up a plan or a strategy everything goes just as I want it to and I come out as the winner, but this time I apparently hadn't taken Rei and his resent change in behavior sufficiently into account. And what do I do when I see my plan crumble before my very eyes? I think up a new one, but unfortunately when I reached that stage thinking really wasn't a strong point of mine, and so I ended up wanting to leave the party.

Had it not been for Tyson and Hillary who magically appeared from some sort of closet I probably would have run off with Dranzer and stayed out all night to prove to myself and everybody else, Rei in particular, that I really don't need anyone but myself and anything but my blade.

Luckily, I'll say that now, I did run into Tyson and Hillary first and even though I was so furious that I couldn't think straight they somehow managed to calm me down and make me talk to them a bit.

As if that would've ever happened if I'd been sober!

But that's beside the point right now.

We sat down somewhere away from the center of the party and eventually after a lot of talking back and forth they got me to tell them what was going on. Despite my anger and urge to punch something talking to them wasn't as bad as I'd feared it would be. I think  it's that whole friendship-optimism-we're-a-team thing that's rubbing off on me, because I'm pretty sure it's obvious to anyone that there was nothing at all Tyson or Hillary could do about my little problem and his five thousand worshippers on the dance floor.

You do realize I'm referring to Rei, don't you?

And it's my bad, I know, I didn't even tell you what happened, I've just been talking in circles and avoiding the subject even though I really do want to figure it out.

That's really typically me.

What had me so mad that I couldn't see straight was the sight that greeted me the minute I stepped into the main room where the dance floor and the bar were located. Needless to say there were people everywhere, but one particular person caught my eye immediately.

Rei.

And he was sitting in the bar accepting drink after drink from stranger after stranger.

I'm not sure how long I stood in the doorway debating whether to be my old usual uncaring self and leave him be, or if I should just go in there, act like the jealous boyfriend, and glare at everybody till they left so that I could eventually knock Rei out with my club and drag him home by his hair.

Property of me! And you can call me a caveman and primitive, I wouldn't care!

But before I could embarrass myself and Rei along with me, the decision was taken out of my hands by yet another stranger, who grabbed Rei and dragged him, or more like lifted him, to the dance floor where I lost sight of them.

I tried looking for him in the crowd, but it was virtually impossible. My anger dissolved as I made my way through the mass of bodies and at last I saw him after which he made his way over and we ended up on a couch.

–

Do please get your mind out of the gutter! We sat next to each other and talked.

–

Or Rei talked and I listened. I'm not sure if he was aware of what exactly he was saying, but I'll just tell you that my mood rose several degrees with his words. He was just doing what he had to do so that nobody would be suspicious later, because he really didn't want me to think that he'd forgotten about me, he most definitely hadn't, and if I could just wait a little while he'd be right there with me and nobody would think it strange as he'd been with a bunch of people already.

I know what it sounds like now, but I'd been drinking, now there's a surprise, and it sounded like a great plan. Surely much better than my own, so I continued drinking and pondering how I'd use my caveman instincts to get him exactly where I wanted him while he continued whatever it was he was doing on the dance floor among all those people.

At some point I got tired of waiting. And not just tired, but really tired because as I waited I was approached by several of Rei's strangers and it suddenly hit me that the sexual innuendo and their insinuating behavior wasn't directed at me only, but at everybody else as well meaning that these morons were hitting on Rei while I was just sitting there starring holes in the air.

From a logical point of view it shouldn't have taken me so long to actually figure that out, but lately I've experienced that whenever Rei enters the picture, logic goes flying out the window. That's the only way I can explain what happened next as well.

My inner caveman came back out. I'd had enough of Rei smiling and flirting with me from across the room. It was time I took matters into my own hands and showed him exactly how it was done. I grabbed the first stranger I could find and dragged him to the dance floor right next to where Rei was and started dancing.

–

I am no great and mighty dancer by any stretch of the imagination, so as soon as I'd positioned myself and my dancing partner on the floor, the caveman withdrew  and left me there to handle the rest of the situation all by myself. And wasn't that just another disaster in the making?

It turned out not to be. Surprisingly enough.

I don't know if Rei has special senses when it comes to me and uncomfortable matters, but it seems so, as he started moving around all of a sudden. I didn't know what he was trying to accomplish and before I had time to figure out what was going on I was dancing with him.

Which was exactly what I'd been waiting for. Now was the right time for my inner caveman, named Vodka I believe, to make an appearance and knock Rei off his feet and into my arms.

But apparently he'd disappeared entirely last time he went away, so there I was, as helpless as ever with Rei all over me and nothing to do about it. I mean, I wouldn't have sent him away or pushed him or anything like that, but it would've been nicer if I'd at least been able to maintain a shadow of my previous self-confidence and attitude. Unfortunately no such luck.

That is not until Rei looked up at me with this certain look in his eyes that he also had the first time I kissed him.

Mr. Caveman was back in full force and Mr. Caveman takes what he wants so I bent down and kissed the wonderful lips of the creature that had been haunting me all night.

I sound biased I realize that, but there was just something in the way his hair and his eyes caught the colored light. I can't explain it, I'm sorry. I know there were people and music all around us, but I didn't sense anything other than Rei in my mouth, his tongue and his canines, and a split-second later his hands coming up to my neck and the back of my head, circling, pulling me in deeper and deeper till I lost all conscious thoughts and only felt alive where he touched me. He stole my soul without even trying by kissing me like that and when he leaned me against this pole on the dance floor I knew I'd found my place; in his arms, in his mouth and leaning against something solid so that I wouldn't fall into him and be consumed by his very being.

Letting go and letting him do anything he desired was such a relief, and reinforced that this was really where I belonged. I couldn't fight him, nothing in the world could've made me push away from him, and as it was I know my body betrayed me and told him everything he needed to know as soon as he got rid of my offending clothes and reached my skin that was trembling and compliant to his touch. Without words I told him that he was now in power, that he was now the one to be obeyed and that I would gladly be the one obeying him.

The music slowed down as did our kissing and for a long heart-shattering moment we just looked at each other. I was at a loss for words, but he saved me by embracing me and kissing me again, only differently this time. Slower and more meaningful and I simply couldn't take it. I urged him on with the sound of some singer's voice saying, "I just can't stop loving you" right into my ear, and I had to go. It was too much and it wasn't near enough. There was no way I could stay with him like that.

So I ran.

The only time I didn't face a challenge, and it was probably the most important challenge of my entire life.

I don't know.

I've been sleeping ever since. It did in fact only happen a couple of hours ago, as unbelievable as that may seem.

I still feel sick, though not so much from the alcohol anymore… I think I can go back to sleep now.

Thanks for hearing me out, Diary, I'm sure there'll be more to come, this isn't by far over yet.

Yours sincerely

Kai Hiwatari

Bonnie/max/rei:

Does Rei drink? Why, yes he does. Does Rei use cigarettes and smoke? No, I'm afraid not. Just because there's smoke in the air, and I have honestly never been to a party where there wasn't, it doesn't necessarily mean that everybody present smokes. And in my head Rei didn't smoke. I don't mean to come across rude, but in this story Rei does drink. I don't know how the alcohol policy is in Japan or elsewhere for that matter, and they do say write what you know, so I did. Where I come from a 17-year-old male wouldn't make it home after a party to write in his diary. You know why not? Because he'd be passed out drunk on somebody's floor somewhere around 10 o'clock. And yes, that's generalizing, but welcome to the real world. Now, I did think it would be a bit much if he acted like most of the people I know so I wrote him the way I did, and with no intentions of offending anybody or anything like that, it's just the way things work where I am. Sorry if it bothers you, but I find it realistic considering who he is.

You think it rocks? {big smile} Thanks! Now, as for why I didn't put up a warning that minors shouldn't drink. Well, I don't really think it's any of my concern. Of course if underage drinking is illegal then don't do it, but when it comes down to it I shouldn't be the one telling people what to do and what not to do. It's an individual matter and I don't want to make decisions on the behalf of others. I live in a free country as I assume most people do, so what they choose to do is up to them, not me. Capesh? {smiles, winks} And the same really goes for the cigarettes. If people absolutely want to kill themselves who am I then in reality to stop them? But still, thanks for letting me know; I might have to put up something.

You're right. Rei's confidence is getting a little overly-confident, I know exactly what you mean by saying that, but it's part of the plot so I can't really help it. He will calm down eventually, but it has to get worse before it can get better, right? {smiles} Thanks for your review!

To anybody else, thanks for reviewing, and if there are any questions or anything feel free to leave another review or simply email me. I understand if some of what I've said above might need clarifying.
