Chapter Five: Declarations of Love
Well while the hyper blonde and ill Tyson recuperated, Kai was staring off into space clearly having his mind busy with inner thoughts. Rei was lying on his bed wondering just where Kenny kept disappearing to. Rain pelted the windows of the hotel as the wind was starting to pick up outside. Rei's stomach growled and he sat up.
"I think I'll go grab myself something to eat really quickly." Rei slid off his bed and exited the hotel room.
"Hn." Kai barely noticed Rei's vacancy.
The raven haired Chinese blader bounded down the stairs, two at a time before he reached the small café within the hotel. There weren't a great deal of people there due to the fact that almost everybody was in their room, relaxing. Quickly ordering a swift but tasty snack, Rei set his foot down on the first stairs just as Kai was coming down.
"Hey Rei, how about we go for a drive?" Kai asked, his keen eyes piercing through Rei's golden ones.
Hesitating, Rei glanced from his snack to the downpour outside, and then back to Kai. "Uh… sure."
Kai nodded and went outside into the storm to get the car and drive up to the hotel door so Rei wouldn't have to get wet. In the meantime Rei nibbled on his snack and wondered. It was a little sudden for Kai to just ask to go for a drive. Plus the anti-social captain of the Blade Breakers had been unusually quiet and moody. Last night in fact, Tyson had regained enough strength to taunt Kai and Rei.
"Where's the voodoo doll of Rei? I wanna light his hair on fire." Tyson laughed weakly before making a mad dash to the restroom again.
Kai had given Tyson a most evil glare when he reappeared. "Don't bother Rei… if you do… omae o korosu!" Kai snarled.
"Whoa, Heero moment." Rei piped up.
"Who's Heero?" Kenny asked, glancing up from Dizzi.
"I don't know." Rei shrugged.
Kai honked the horn to get Rei's attention. Snapping back to reality, Rei stuffed the rest of his snack into his mouth and opened the car door to let himself in and slammed it shut. Kai sped off, the tires making a loud noise as it tried to gain traction on the wet ground. Time passed slowly in silence while Rei attempted to swallow his mouthful of food.
"Um… Rei? There's been something I've been meaning to talk to you about." Kai avoided Rei's eyes but he had to in order to stay focused on the road.
"Yoo doo? Wat woold fat be?" Rei chewed.
Kai merely nodded. The silence continued until the Blade Breaker captain parked the car on a cliff side, over the ocean. "Rei I…" Kai trailed off, looking down at his lap. Rei tilted his head in dense curiosity. "Rei I… I think… I think I've fallen in love with you." Kai's cheeks turned bright red and he turned to look out the car window.
Rei on the other hand was shocked. Pounding from his heart echoed in his ears, as he soaked in what Kai had just told him. A sea of conflicting emotions stormed inside of him like the storm raging outside. It was hard to believe Kai of all people could love someone. But… the fact that he did love Rei made Rei smile a little bit.
"I love you too, Kai." Rei smiled warmly and confidently.
This made Kai blush all the more but he seemed less tense at this.
Quiet crept back into the air as the storm outside died down and the clouds began to part to show the blue sky. Kai turned back to face Rei with a mixed expression showing both fear and worry. "Rei can I… kiss you?"
The Chinese boy blushed this time but nodded. "S-sure." He stuttered.
Kai leaned into Rei, letting their lips lock as they shared their first and certainly not last kiss.
. THE END .
Well personally I think this chapter sucked but if you disagree then that's nice. This is the last chapter and also the last Beyblade story I will probably ever do. Thank you all who read and reviewed!
