Hurrah! Edited version back. Not that this chappie was as error filled as the first. I did go out and force my onee-chan to edit, so there shouldn't be anything big. CH 1 is also all fixied up now. Onto review responses.
To Falc0n: yah, Tyson bashing is amusing. He's just so easily bashed though… and I did get a beta, hopefully you find it more readable.
To Inari: I think I have Rei's name spelled right now… get typing fast and sometimes it comes out a bit odd. The dream was just one of those really strange ones you get sometimes. But I do suppose she symbolizes Rei and how Kai always imagined falling in love with a girl. But that obviously didn't happen.
Mmm, yea… remember, I spell things the British way so don't complain about that please. Or I'll tell you to "shove it up yours". Thankies muchly.
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade, but the idea's mine. So no suing!

Chapter 2: Collateral Damage
---Rei's pov---
It was the smell of burning wood and varnish that tipped me off. Also, the room seemed to be strangely brighter… and my arm was getting awfully warm.
I pulled away from Kai and looked beside me. Sure enough the table was aflame. Quickly the flames caught the napkin holder. It made a pretty torch… I was momentarily transfixed…
"Rei… the table's on fire." Kai stated. He was just as mesmerised by the flames as I was.
"Yo, is something burning?" Tyson asked as he entered the kitchen. He then noticed the table. "HOLY SHIT! THE HOULSE IS ON FIRE!"
His annoying voice broke me out of my trance. I bounded over to the closet and grabbed the fire extinguisher. Due to the fire, the kitchen was fairly illuminated, though the smoke made everything a bit hazy. I pointed the extinguisher and sprayed.
After a while, the fire went out and the room was pitch black again.
A moment later, the smoke detector went off. That was just a little delayed… Some days I wonder if this house is really safe to be inhabited.
Suddenly, the room was bathed in light and the hum of the TV emitted from the other room. I guess the power was back. I hate thunder storms.
Tyson, Kai and I all stood around the smoking foam covered remains of our kitchen table.
"Was someone making toast?" Max asked as he entered. Upon seeing the former table he blinked. "Well, very fibre-filled toast."
"I didn't do it!" I glanced nervously between the other bladers.
"Yes you did…" Kai muttered and glared at me.
Shit, I go from kissing him to having him death glare me. I can't win.
To interrupt the silence, Kenny entered the kitchen as well. He sort of just stared at the demolished table. "I guess we'll need a new table sometime?"
"I'm going upstairs." I stated and then headed upstairs. We could deal with this in the morning. Right now, all I wanted was a shower (which I wasn't going to take during a thunderstorm) and read a good book.
---Kai's pov---
I had cleaned up most of the foam from the fire extinguisher and was trying to figure out how badly damaged the table was. It wasn't quite collateral damage, but I could see right through the table in the spot where the candle had fallen. Not to mention there was scorch marks on the wall and the floor. I leaned over and touched the centre of the table. It crumbled away in my hand and left my skin covered in a fine black powder.
Collateral damage.
I sighed and washed my hand off in the sink. This wasn't going to be pretty trying to clean up the kitchen further. Mr. Dickinson wasn't going to be please either… he was leasing this summer home from his friend for us to use when we weren't touring. So far we had only managed to spill soda on the carpet (which, naturally, was a result of Tyson's goofing off). Mr. Dickinson wasn't going to be happy when he learned about this.
And the part that bugged me the most, Tyson couldn't be blamed for once. Instead I had to blame it all on my precious neko… wait, since when has Rei been my precious neko? I mean we only kissed once…
In reality anyways.
This is going to be confusing… I sighed and slumped onto a chair.
Kenny wandered into the room. He peered at the table and cringed. "Mr Dickinson isn't going to be happy."
I shrugged. "I think he'll be glad we're all alive, and that we stopped the fire before it got out of hand."
"So, what happened that Rei knocked over the candle?"
I froze. What exactly could I tell Kenny? Somehow admitting that Rei and I had been kissing wouldn't go over too well. Especially with Tyson about; somehow he didn't seem like the type to take gays too well. Not that I'm gay anyways. Or at least I don't think so. This is all rather confusing. My head's hurting more now.
"Kai?" Kenny's voice broke me out of my train of thought.
"Rei was just careless and knocked it over with his arm." I shot with my regular cold shield.
For a second Kenny seemed like he didn't believe that was just it, but he let it drop and just sat at the table (or what remained of it) beside me.
Much to my annoyance my stomach growled. I guess I still hadn't had any dinner. I looked to the smaller teen and inquired, "Has anyone had supper yet?"
"Tyson has probably scarfed something down in the last hour that could be considered dinner for three… Max eats when he's hungry; Rei hasn't had anything though, we were modifying his blade earlier. Actually, I'd fancy a snack right about now too."
"I'll make something then." I got up and inspected the cupboard. Strangely ravaged… Tyson must have been in here earlier. There were still a couple bags of Lipton soups. I shrugged; soup sounds good right about now. I pulled out a pot and set about to making dinner.
---Rei's pov---
I was pacing across my room. I wonder how long it will take me to make pace marks on my floor. It seems like I've been pacing for hours. This whole being confined to the house is really getting to me. I can't go out and walk around.
So I pace
And make grooves in my floor from where I walk.
I hate today.
No, today was a good day. I kissed Kai. I finally got to be with the object of my desires. But I screwed it up good. I started the table on fire. I'm going to be in hot water when Mr. Dickinson finds out. If I wasn't already a big enough screw up. I can't do anything right. Not even make macaroni and cheese! I burnt it good… Kai wasn't happy. Now that I think of it, Kai never seems to be happy. Why did I fall for someone so… grouchy? Like Oscar the Grouch. Except Kai's not green and fuzzy and he doesn't live in a garbage can.
You know, I think I'm just getting too worked up over nothing. Maybe I need to forget this whole Kai thing… I need to move on and find someone… maybe a nice pretty girl…
Knock, knock.
I jumped a foot in the air and clutched onto the nearby desk chair. Holy cow in the sky! That scared me.
"Rei, are you in here?" Kai asked from the other side of the door.
Breathing normally again I sighed in relief. Its just Kai… Gorgeous Kai with his soft skin and deep eyes…
"Rei?"
Oh there I go again with my mind in the proverbial gutter.
"Yah Kai, I'm in here."
"Then can I come in?"
"Oh yah, come on in. I'm not indecent or anything."
Oh that was smooth. Smooth but not slick… it is best not to ask about that saying.
The door swung open and Kai entered balancing two bowls in one hand. "I thought you might like some dinner, even though it is getting awfully late."
"Oh, that'd be nice." I smiled and took a bowl from him. "There are shaped noodles…" I blinked at the little aliens and spaceships floating in my bowl.
"Yah, I wanted to add extra noodles but the only ones I could find were space ones. I don't want to even know who bought those."
I poked a little purple alien dude with my spoon. It's looking at me.
While I was off tormenting my noodles with my spoon, I hadn't noticed that Kai was still in my room, watching me intently. After decapitating a space man and eating his head I noticed Kai's gaze.
"Kai… you're staring at me."
Kai blinked, I seem to have woken him from a daze. "Sorry, I was just thinking."
I shrugged and sat down on my bed with my bowl of soup. I gestured towards the sagging beanbag chair in the corner for Kai to sit on. After looking at it suspiciously he sat down. The chair seemed to swallow him. I think it has a leak in it… His knees were now up to his chin and he looked a tad uncomfortable. He set his bowl down then got up and shifted the chair around so that it wouldn't swallow him alive. After a moment he looked comfortable, or as comfortable as one could get on a saggy beanbag chair.
"This thing is sort of…"
"Dead?" I finished his sentence.
He nodded and went back to eating his soup. "How are you doing?" He interrupted the silence.
I choked on a piece of chicken. I started coughing. He got up as if he was going to try to help me but I waved him away. After a moment I no longer had a piece of half masticated poultry lodged in my windpipe and was able to respond. "I'm fine, why would you be asking?"
"I was just curious, that whole fire was sort of scary."
Is it just me, or is Kai acting exceptionally civil today? Well, except for his treatment of Tyson, that's still the same as ever.
"You know, I really do-"
"TYSON! GIVE THAT BACK!" Max's shriek echoed throughout the corridors. A panicked Tyson skidded past my door and then his door slammed shut. A second later Max sped by and started banging on Tyson's door.
"IT'S MINE NOW MAX!"
In all the excitement I had spilled hot soup on my lap. Ow.
What is it with me and having hot liquids on my crotch? Oh boy… that could have been taken in a very perverted way…
Kai sighed and got up from the squishy chair. He stormed over to the other room, pushed Max out of the way and yelled at Tyson in a very cold and ominous voice. "Get out here you stupid gimp, give Max back whatever you stole and if I hear one more peep out of you tonight you'll be up at 5:30 training. You HEAR me Tyson?"
With that said, Kai stormed off to his room and the door shut firmly. Seconds later Tyson opened his door and I could hear Max and him talking quietly in the hallway.
Well, this had been a day chalked full of fun for the whole family. Well… maybe not the whole family, it was rated PG-13 after all.
I looked down at my lap. There was a little alien sitting there. I scowled at it. "What are you looking at?" the noodle stayed immobile. Stupid noodle.
---
I shot up in bed after a particularly loud clap of thunder. I glanced around the pitch black room. Oh joy, I think the power's out again. I sighed and pulled the duvet up to my chin. I had been having an interesting dream about playing ultimate Frisbee with Gandalf [1] and my first grade teacher. And Jaken [2] had been eaten by a tiger. I'm sure the dream had some profound meaning… but I really had no clue what that meaning might be. [3]
After a while I realised I couldn't go back to sleep. The storm was too loud, and the rain tapping against the windows was getting on my nerves. Some days I hate having sensitive ears.
Sighing I sat up and then made my way to my doorway. I was going to go to the bathroom and get a drink of water. I had left a glass in there… it couldn't be too hard to find in the dark, could it?
I groped for the door handle and went into the dark hallway. The bathroom was across the hallway, right next to Kai's room. I managed to get across the hallway without incident and found the door slightly to the left and opened it. I stepped in. The bathroom was carpeted, I never understood what drove a person to carpet a bathroom, but somebody had and we couldn't do anything about it. I sighed and reached out for the counter to grope around for my glass. My hand came in contact with air. Well… this is new…
I wandered around a bit. The first solid thing I came in contact with was what felt like a dresser. To my horror I realised I had accidentally walked into Kai's room. Thankfully the lights were off, so nobody could have seen the bright red blush forming on my face. I turned around and headed back to the door as quickly as I could. Unfortunately, I had gotten turned around instead of finding the door, I found Kai's bed.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid…
How can one get lost in a bedroom?
There was a soft shuffling motion. Something else was moving in the room. I glanced around frantically in the dark, but still couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, something cold and most likely metal touched my throat.
"Get out Tyson." Kai hissed in the darkness.
I blinked. Tyson? I'm not Tyson… oh no. Kai thinks I'm Tyson and now he's gong to kill me!!! AGH!
"I mean it Tyson; get the fuck out of my bedroom. It's late and I'm in a bad mood already."
"I'm not Tyson!" I squeaked.
"Rei?" The metal object left my throat and a light flicked on.
I was blinded and obviously very stupid. I guess the power hadn't been out; everyone must have just turned out all the lights.
When I could see again, I saw Kai staring at me, half annoyed and half bewildered. He was wearing loose pyjama pants and no shirt. Oh god… no shirt. Just give me a moment while I drool.
"Rei, what are you doing in here?" Kai crossed his arms over his chest. He was holding a letter opener. That's good, that means he was only going to stab me with a letter opener, not a knife.
"I… err… I got lost on my way to the bathroom." I stuttered.
He laughed. "On the way to the bathroom? It's only across the hall."
I scowled at him. "It was dark… I must have gotten a bit disoriented… or something."
He just shook his head. "Just go back to bed, Rei." He walked towards me and took me by the elbow. "I'll even walk you back."
We headed back to my room. There was a tremendously loud clap of thunder and the house shook a bit. I jumped about a foot in the air and ran into Kai, in the process managing to elbow him in the chest.
"Oof!"
I cringed. "I'm so sorry Kai…" I turned to look at him, and he just scowled at me some more. He's so pleasant really… note the sarcasm.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." He snapped.
"Let me see." I gently put a hand on the place where I had hit him. He scowled at me sceptically. I leaned in closer, watching his face the whole time. His expression changed from that of a scowl to one of mild surprise. I held his eyes until the last possible second. I was going to try something and if it failed, I would be screwed because Kai is a LOT stronger than me.
My lips gently brushed the spot where I had hit him. Before moving on I waited to see if he'd throw me off. Kai didn't seem to be objecting so I started to trail kisses up his chest, then his neck. I halted right before I came to his lips though. I pulled back and looked up into his eyes. He looked rather confused at the moment, rather un-Kai like.
I trailed a hand up into his hair and smiled slyly. "Feeling better now, captain?"
His usual icy persona returned. Shit! I'd said something stupid to set him off… Oh how I hate this life…
"Stay the rest of the night."
I nearly fell over.
"Just lock the door first." He added and retreated back to his bed.
In a stupor I went over to his open door, closed and locked it. I slowly walked over to his bed and climbed in beside him. This is too weird… but very pleasant none the less.
I looked over to Kai; he was lying on his back with his eyes closed. Tentatively I scooted closer to him. When I was pressed up beside him he opened his eyes and looked at me. A faint smile formed on his lips and he wrapped an arm around me. Soon after I fell asleep in his arms, and I'm assuming he followed me shortly.
---Kai's pov---
I woke up to the sensation of something jabbing into my ribcage. I did feel unusually warm too… I opened my eyes to see Rei sleeping beside me. This is… new…
Wait, I asked him to stay the night in my bed… I don't know what drove me to do so. There was just something in the way that he kissed me. Something snapped. I don't know if it was my sanity or something else, but I definitely snapped.
I shifted and removed Rei's arm from where it was nested between my ribs. In the process I woke him up. Lazily he opened his eyes and blinked up at me. A second later he shot up in bed.
"Wh- what are you doing here?" He pulled the duvet up to his chin and scooted away from me on the mattress.
"What do you mean…? You're the one that came in here at two in the morning."
He blinked at me. "Oooo..." He slid back down so that he was lying beside me again. He then proceeded to stare at the ceiling.
"Reeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Tyson's voice resounded through the house.
Rei muttered something under his breath and pulled the covers up over his head. "I don't want to know what he wants. It's probably something trivial."
"If you're referring to Tyson, it's always something stupid."
He chuckled. "Normally I'd go out and see what Tyson wanted, but it might look odd with me coming out of your room in my pyjamas."
There was a loud knock at the door. "Kai, you up yet?" Max inquired.
"Yes." I responded then turned to Rei and asked, "You locked the door, right?" Rei nodded in response.
"Mr. Dickinson is here and he wants to talk to you and Rei. So if you see Rei, tell him to we're looking for him." Max's footsteps were heard going down the stairs.
Rei re-emerged from under the blankets. "So, how're we going to get me into my room so I can change?"
"I'll see if I can get everyone downstairs then you can come down on your own time."
We both got up. For the first time I noticed that his pyjama pants had little cartoon cats on them. I was mildly amused. I never expected him to be the kind to wear things like that. He noticed me staring at his pants and blushed.
"Mariah gave them to me for Christmas…"
I nodded and started digging through my drawers and closet to find something to wear.
---Rei's pov---
I found myself watching him the whole time. At the moment I don't really care if it's rude. I can't help it…
He glanced at me one last time then started to change out of his pyjamas. A brilliant blush covered my face and I had to turn my back. A moment later he put a hand on my left shoulder. I took that hand in mine and turned around. He was completely dressed, armbands and everything. I found myself craving those lips again. Apparently he was thinking the same thing for he wrapped his free arm around my waist and pulled me closer. I found myself blissfully happy again when we kissed. To my amazement nothing interrupted us and there were no disasters. We broke apart, out of breath and content. We stayed close though, panting.
"I better go see Mr. Dickinson and you should really get dressed and come down. I don't think the other guys would ever stop mocking you if they saw those pants." He walked to the door end peered out. "The hallway's safe."
As he went downstairs I hurried into my room. In a split second I was dressed. I as about to let out my loose braid and then attack my hair with a brush but realised that would take a long time. Sighing I just left my hair.
I opened my window and stepped out onto the balcony. With cat-like grace I leapt to the ground a story below. If I could go into the woods and circle through the trees I could come around the back of the house and claim that I had been out walking. They'd all believe me since the rest of them (minus Kai) think me a perfect little angel… wouldn't they be shocked at my porn collection?
I grinned. I am really too good.
---Kai's pov---
I was leaning against a wall of the living room. I was half listening to the others talk with Mr. Dickinson. But mostly I was staring out the window, watching little colourful butterflies flutter by or squirrels chase each other. I hate squirrels and butterflies.
That's when I saw Rei sprint across the back lawn. The idiot! I hope nobody else was watching out the window, because if he was seen we'd have to do a lot of explaining.
"Kai, is there something the matter?" Kenny asked.
I turned to the others, they were all watching me. "Uhh… no. I just saw a stray cat. You know those Bumpus hounds [4] will eat the poor thing if it gets too near."
Everyone cringed at the mention of those hell hounds, but after a moment returned to their conversation. The Bumpus hounds were about 30 giant dogs that belonged to the neighbours. They were known for terrorising the nearby wildlife and even managed to sneak into our yard from time to time. They only person they listen to is me. And that is because they feared me.
I went back to watching the scenery outside. I think I was the first to notice it: the frantic yelling of someone outside. Seconds later everyone turned towards the entryway to the kitchen.
"Is it just me, or does it sound like someone screaming bloody murder outside?" Max asked.
Seconds later the back door slammed open and somebody ran into the house. That person was followed by yipping dogs and the sound of paws on tile. Rei skidded into the room and hid behind the couch.
"THEY'RE TRYING TO EAT ME!"
As if on cue, the Bumpus hounds skittered into the room and started barking at everyone.
Slowly I walked over and stood in front of the first dog in the pack. "Out."
With that one simple command they were out of the house with their tails between their legs.
Rei poked his head out from behind the couch and looked at me adoringly… Uh oh… Noting that the hell hounds were gone he sprung out and wrapped me in a tight hug "THANK YOU KAI! You saved my life!"
I felt my cheeks redden. I'm sort of starting to feel light headed… I think Rei's cutting off my oxygen supply or something.
"Rei… I think you're killing Kai." Tyson said. "He's starting to turn an odd shade of red."
With that said, Rei released me. I sought out the nearest chair and sat down with the intention of trying to regain control over my hormones.
"So, what happened just now? Tyson asked.
"Well, I went out for an early morning walk." Rei said and began fixing his clothing and hair. "I was coming back in when I heard this barking, then before I knew it those demon dogs were chasing me. Reminds me all too much of the Kai Kitty incident…"
Yes, Kai Kitty… I hated that stupid cat. Maybe this deserves an explanation.
See, we sort of adopted this stray cat.
Wait.
Actually, he adopted us…
---
I was walking down the sidewalk on my way back to the house. We'd been there for a whole week. It was hell. It was the earthbound equivalent to fiery pits and demons with pitchforks. But instead of being fiery, it was icy cold because the heat was broken, and there weren't any demons only Tyson's voice, which was a form of torture in on itself.
I felt someone watching me and spun around. There was nobody there. I guess I'm just a bit paranoid. I continued walking. But that sensation just wouldn't leave me alone. I turned back around and still found no one. Grunting I went to continue on, but there was a small orange kitten sitting in my path. It blinked up and me and mewed. Did I ever mention I don't'like animals?
I stepped over the stupid thing and continued on my way. After a block I heard a loud mew and turned to see the cat following me. "Go away kitty."
"Mew?" It blinked up at me.
I grumbled curses under my breath and walked faster but the stupid animal kept up with me. I got to the front steps and stopped. I stopped to open the door and the cat was right up against my ankle, nuzzling my leg.
"I said GO AWAY!"
The cat just mewed and nuzzled my leg more.
I tried to shoo it off with my foot, but the darn thing was fast. I wouldn't be able to open the door without it getting in. With a final grunt of defeat I sank to the steps and glared at the cat. It crawled onto my lap and purred contentedly.
I must have sat there for 20 minutes trying to contemplate how to get rid of the cat when Rei came up the lawn. He gave me an odd look, but when he got closer a look of excitement overcame his face.
"KAI! You brought home a kitten!" He swooped down and picked up the kitten from my lap. He nuzzled the kitten, and it nuzzled him back.
"I didn't bring it home, it followed me!"
"Can we keep him?" he looked down at me with puppy dog eyes.
I stood up and glared at him. "No. We're not keeping any pets at all in this house."
"But Kai, he's soooo cute!" He put the kitten near my face and it pawed at my cheek gently.
He looked so… cute then. I blinked, wait, why am I thinking he's cute? "Fine damn it, keep the cat." I stormed off.
---
Kai Kitty, as the orange cat had come to be named since it followed me home, shot off across the lawn. It was in hot pursuit by the infamous Bumpus hounds. Rei was running after them screaming. I grabbed him by the sleeve and tried to restrain him.
"Don't worry; your stupid cat will be alright. Don't'go in there or those stupid hounds will eat you too."
The orange fuzzball that was Kai Kitty disappeared into the woods and the monstrous brown blobs chased after it.
---
We hadn't seen Kai Kitty ever again after that fiasco. I felt sort of bad… Rei had loved that kitten so much and was absolutely devastated when it disappeared. He locked himself up in his room for three days straight, only coming out to use the toilet and to get some food.
I also wonder why cats seemed to like me so much. That hadn't been the first nor was it the last time a cat had followed me around.
"So Rei, are you alright?" Mr. Dickinson's voice woke me from my thoughts.
Rei nodded. "Just a little spooked."
"And you're fine from last night too? Don't worry about the fire damage. It's only a material object; your safety is what really matters."
"Yes sir, I'm perfectly fine."
"That's good; I must be going now boys. I'll have someone in here soon to look at the damages. We should have that kitchen patched up in a few days. In the meantime take care of yourselves and mind yourself around fire." He seemed to focus on Rei in particular when he said that last thing about minding fire.
With that Mr. Dickinson grabbed his hat off a chair and headed towards the door. Kenny saw him out.
"Well… I'm going to go train." Tyson smiled and hurried out of the room. That was a first, Tyson said something intelligent. I must reward him for that. Maybe I'll give him a cookie, and then see if I can teach him how to eat it properly.
Kenny poked his head back in the room. "I'll be upstairs if anyone needs me." And with that he disappeared up the stairs.
Max, however, made no move to leave. He was glancing between Rei and me. "Do you guys mind if I ask a question?"
"Go ahead and shoot." Rei said and flopped onto the nearby couch.
"I've just been noticing… you two seem to be spending a lot of time together. And I think it's great! Kai's been more pleasant. So thanks for that Rei." He grinned like a fool.
I blinked at him, Rei did the same. "Is that all?" Rei asked.
"Actually… Iwaswonderingifyoutwoweregayandyea…"
Both of us stared at him like he was growing a second head. I hadn't understood a sound that had come out of his mouth.
"Excuse me, but could you say that again? But slower." Rei sat up and leaned towards Max.
Max coughed as if clearing his throat. "I was wondering if you two were… you know… 'seeing' each other?"
This day is just full of surprises. Rei blanched and I could feel myself blushing again. Stupid Max…
"I mean I don't want to seem rude, but I'd like to know. And if you are, then great! I won't say a word. But I'd like to know, you know you can trust me. I won't tell any of the others and you-"
"Shut up Max." I spat. He blinked at me. "You're babbling like a moron, which you aren't, and it's starting to annoy me."
Rei sighed. "You were right though Max…" I scowled at him but Rei just continued on. "Not that we've really done anything. The whole burning down the table thing was really when everything started. Well, not at that exact moment, we were kissing when I knocked over the candle." Rei blushed; he's cute when he blushes.
"Ahh…" Max had a look of wonder on his face. Slowly that look of wonder transformed into a broad smile. "Don't worry guys! Your secret's safe with me!" With that he bounded out of the room to do God knows what.
I got up and walked over to the couch. I dropped down beside Rei. He had been trying to un-braid his hair. I gently took his braid from him and began to unravel it. His hair was so silky and smelled like fruit. It's really marvellous how someone can have hair this long and have it look this good.
After a while I found there was no more hair to untangle. Sighing contently I pulled him back into my arms. We sat there like that for a while.
His stomach rumbled… I guess neither of us have had breakfast yet. Whimpering softly he pulled out of my arms and turned to me. "We better go have something to eat. And if we sit here too long someone may walk in on us.
I nodded. He went to get up but I caught him by his arm and pulled him back down and into a soft kiss.
