Chapter 4 -- Cocoa with the Enemy

"Here. Drink." Kai sighed accepting the mug of cocoa. First I leave my team the night before a huge match and now I'm drinking cocoa? With the enemy no less. Another fine mess.

Tala took a seat on the couch across from Kai with his own cup. He was a little annoyed at having the other teen come over to his apartment at nearly midnight. Not to mention he felt a little more than under-dressed in just a pair of boxers and an old shirt.

Kai surveyed the hotel room, nothing short of pure luxury. Everything was either black or dark blue. From the lavish full length curtains (drawn open for the night) to the sofa he currently sat on. It was here that Tala was supposed to 'rest' for the next day, seemingly left alone until then.

"How did you find me anyway?"

"They told me...the team...would be staying in this hotel so that I could come here after I beat Tyson."

Tala remained expressionless sipping his hot chocolate. "So why are you here?"

Kai gulped down most of this hot chocolate before answering. It was nice to have something warm at least.

"I've been wondering that myself. You want to know the truth? I'm sick of it. I got rid of Black Dranzer and you know what? I can still hear his voice! I keep dreaming about what happened with you and - What the hell am I supposed to do? It was so simple at first. Be the best blader in the world. That was it. I didn't need a team. I didn't need friends. I didn't need you." He turned away from Tala and stared out the window. The stars twinkled in the dark sky above as if mocking him. Simple, innocent, perfect and so very far away...

"Well you know what? If you want a pity party go back to the Blade Breakers. I could care less. If you want my advice it's simple: Fuck it. My life isn't much better than yours and I'm not going to hold you while you cry."

Kai turned away from the window, a slight smile playing at his lips. "That's exactly what I expected you to say."

"What do you mean he's GONE! WHERE?!?"

"I wish I knew." Ray sighed. Could it have been because of him?

"You know what? That's the last straw! Kai might as well stay wherever the hell he is! He's off the team for good."

"Tyson you can't be serious!"

"I can and I am. From now on Kai's the enemy again...Max I hope you're ready to blade tomorrow."

"Yeah...Sure..."

"Look, Ray, I'm really sorry but this time Kai's gone to far."

Ray nodded mutely. There was nothing he could say to defend Kai now. He was on his own. Wherever he was...

Meanwhile...

"Mm...Tala...Don't stop..." Kai arched up into the other teen's caress. Warm fingers brushed his skin everywhere as Tala held him against the floor. One hand kept Kai from moving his hands while the other teen sat proudly on his chest caressing him.

"You look beautiful. I should be on top more often." Tala whispered. Kai could feel the redhead's warm breath against his neck.

"I'll think about it." Ok so Tala's 'advice' shouldn't have been taken so literally. But that wasn't important.

"You say that like I'm giving you a choice." Before Kai could reply Tala ceased his lips in a kiss. Their tongues darted out and intertwined as the kiss deepened. Tala moved his free hand down and pinched one of Kai's delicate nipples through this thin shirt. Kai moaned into the kiss allowing Tala to plunge deeper into his mouth. He could just barely taste the hot chocolate they had both been drinking...

Kai felt the heat rise in his face. So he hadn't come to make out on the living room floor. Tala was right. To hell with everyone else. To hell with the world.

The redhead pulled away finally with a slight smirk. He could feel Kai panting underneath him in the darkened room. Such a beautiful sight...He could feel himself get hard just watching.

He released Kai's arms and climbed off his waist. "I have a challenge for you."

Kai raised an eyebrow curiously. "What?"

"If you can keep quiet for five minutes, while I do whatever I want to your body, I'll quit Biovolt and turn myself in."

"And if I can't?"

"You quit the blade breakers."

"...Fine."

"Remember. Not a sound." Tala whispered very close to Kai's ear. He bit down lightly on the other teen's earlobe. "Not a move."

Kai closed his eyes trying to block out every sensation. He felt Tala bite and kiss his neck lightly. Before moving slowly lower kissing lightly down his stomach. Something warm brushed against his arousal and Kai bit his lower lip to keep from making a sound. He opened his eyes to see Tala smirking lightly at him.

"What's a matter? Cat got your tongue?" Tala unbuckled Kai's belt. He pulled his pants to his knees looking very amused. "Too good for underwear are we?"

Kai opened his eyes to glare at the other teen. Tala gave him another smirk and dipped down enveloping Kai's shaft in his hot mouth. Kai moaned forgetting the challenge at once. The only thing that mattered now was Tala.

He was lost, in every touch, every kiss, and every caress. Every thrust, every moan, this feverish passion; it all seemed to bring him closer to the gods he didn't believe in. Nothing else mattered, but something was missing. Something he wasn't entirely sure that he wanted...
