Nikki: ahh does Kai miss his little kitty cat?
Kai: Tala would you be so kind as to pass me that axe over there
Tala: sure
Nikki: AHH (dives behind Rei)
Rei: this happens every single time I leave the three of you alone
Nikki: it's all their fault
Kai: you always say that
Nikki: cause it's always your fault
Tala: maybe we should all just calm down, I'll do the disclaimer
Nikki: ok, take it away Tala
Tala: Nikki does not own Beyblade or any of it's characters, she doesn't own any of the songs or books that she uses in her fic, she owns ziltch
Nikki: again thank you for reminding me
Tala: well it's true
Nikki: I know, oh well on with the fic, but first I just want to thank all of the people that reviewed, I can't believe I got 14 reviews and they were all so nice. Thank you so much, I'm so sorry about the paragraphs I just read it and there massive, they could be a chapter all of there own. I think I sorted the paragraphing out in this chapter but if not just tell me and I'll work harder on it. Once again thank you all Tala plushies for all (throws Tala plushies)
Rei's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and looked over at the clock, it was quarter to six there was no way that I could make it to Kai's house in fifteen minutes. Great the last thing that I had wanted today was to be late, I grabbed hold of the alarm clock and looked at it. I was sure that I had set it for five o'clock I growled in annoyance and threw it across the room.
"Useless piece of crap" I muttered as I pushed myself up out of the warm comforting bed, I had completely forgotten about my injuries until I felt several sharp pains shoot through my body. I fell to the floor in pain, gripping my side tightly, my original idea was to sit there until the pain subsided but it was now ten to and I didn't have time. I pushed myself to my feet and cringed in pain but continued to walk to the bathroom.
Seven minutes later I had showered and dried my hair as well as I could, I'd put it back into the wrap and tied the bandanna around the front. I was now sat with my cell phone balanced on my shoulder while I tried to get a taxi to come pick me up at the same time wrapping fresh bandages around all of my cuts. After another five minutes I had changed and was waiting outside for the taxi, I was trying to get through to one of the guy's phones but they were all switched off. I jumped about three meters in the air when I heard the loud beep from the taxi, I sighed and stood up placing my phone in my pocket, I still had to come up with an excuse for the others.
Kai's POV
I was stood in the front yard watching over the others as they trained, I was annoyed, mainly at Tyson for dragging Max and Rei out to a new arcade till god knows when but at Rei aswell. He should have been here ten minutes ago, he was never late and soon annoyance lost its place and worry set in. Was he hurt? Was he ill? Where was he? I glanced over at the drive and saw a taxi stop infront of it, was that him? I heard Tyson and Max arguing but kept my eyes fixed on the car that had just pulled up in my drive. Soon enough the back door opened and Rei slid out of the seat onto the drive he walked to the front of the car and payed the driver, he kept his eyes firmly fixed on the ground after that, but I knew that he had seen me. Why wouldn't he look at me? I had to admit that for some reason that hurt, a lot, I watched him closely trying to figure out what was wrong as he pushed the gate open and stepped into the garden. Stopping where he stood.
"Rei! Where have you been, your never late" Max shouted from where he and Tyson were doing push ups, he jumped up and slowly jogged his way over to where his friend was stood.
"Yeah Rei, if we managed to get here on time what was your problem?" Tyson asked as he followed the blonde over to the gate. I just stood there quietly observing every movement Rei made very carefully, something was wrong.
"Oh my alarm clock didn't go off" Rei smiled up at us revealing two angry looking bruises set on either side of his face, I gasped slightly to myself, I didn't know why I was so shocked. It wasn't like I hadn't seen a bruise before, but seeing a bruise as horrible as that taint his perfect face angered me more than anything ever had.
"Hey Rei where'd you get that bruise from dude?" I wanted to hit Tyson for asking that it was none of his goddamn business, but I refrained from doing anything. Truth be known I wanted to hear his answer too.
"Oh...uh... I...I fell, you know how I am, clumsy" I caught his gaze for a few minutes, Tyson, Max and Kenny may have fallen for his lame excuse but he knew that it hadn't worked on me. Rei wasn't clumsy, anything but. I wanted the truth from him but I knew that I wouldn't get it, I sighed and shrugged all of my confusing thoughts away.
"Well thanks for joining us Rei, now can we all get back to training?" I asked, all four of them looked over at me and nodded, "Tyson, Max I want you two to go back to your push ups. Kenny you continue your research and Rei and I will go work on our attack skills" Tyson and Max groaned and walked off fighting with each other over whose fault it had been as they did so. "Ok with you Rei?" I asked trying my hardest to be kind and comforting whilst still keeping my icy cold tone. He nodded and then smiled at me.
"Just let me get Drigger and..." he checked his pockets and then looked up at me in disbelief. "I'm so sorry Kai, I must have left Drigger at home" I sighed and rubbed my eyes, I wasn't angry with him for heavens sake the guy was shaking. He was so upset that I wanted to wrap my arms around him and tell him that it would be ok. He turned around and went to walk away but stopped when I grabbed hold of his arm, "ahh!" I let go of his arm and watched as he fell to the floor clinging to his arm in pain.
"Rei are you ok?" I crouched down next to him and saw a lone tear fall from his eye, it slid down his face glistening in the early morning sunlight. He shook it away and I followed it to where it fell and stained the patio floor.
"Yeah... I told you that I fell, I guess I hurt my arm a little more than I thought I did"
"Do you want me to take a look at it?" He shook his head and pushed himself up from the floor.
"No! It'll be ok I'll just go to the bathroom and check it out" I watched him as he walked over to the house disappearing behind the wooden doors before anyone could say anything else. I sighed and turned to see Kenny, Max and Tyson staring at me wide eyed and with 'confused' spelt out across they're faces.
"What was that about?" I shot Tyson an angry look telling him to back off and get on with his training, I think he got the message.
Rei's POV
I slumped against the bathroom door and wiped away the tears that had fallen from my eyes when I had walked away. I was so ashamed, not only had I shown up late but I'd forgotten Drigger. The worst thing was that I knew Kai wasn't buying my excuse, I should have known it wouldn't work on him, he's too smart. I slowly slid out of my coat and looked down at my arm, it really hurt, I hoped Kai didn't think that he'd hurt me. This wasn't his fault, it was my no good stepfathers' fault, I practically jumped out of my skin when I heard the knock at the door.
"Rei are you ok?" I smiled at the sound of Kai's voice, I kinda liked thinking that he was worried about me, of course I would have liked it better if there was nothing to be worried about. "Rei?"
"Yeah I'm fine" I hoped that with the door in the way he wouldn't be able to tell that I was lying. "I'm just angry at myself for being late and you know forgetting Drigger" I slid my coat back on covering my arms from view and brushed my tears away. I stood up and opened the door, Kai gave me a small smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Don't worry about it. It could happen to anyone" I laughed at what he had said and shook my head "what?"
"It would never happen to you"
"It might" I smiled at him again as he turned away and walked down the corridor, I had never seen Kai act so, so, well... so human and I thought it suited him. But then again so did the I couldn't care less attitude that he had had since the moment I met him.
"Hurry up before I make you do push ups like your three friends" three friends? He had Kenny doing push ups, oh this I had to see. I followed Kai through the long twisting corridors that acted like a maze as they wound through the huge house. I liked his house, I wasn't sure why it was just like every other mansion in the world, big amazingly beautiful and most likely expensive but I loved it. Why was that?
"Oh... thanks a lot guys this is all your fault" I laughed at Kenny's complaints as I stepped out onto the patio
"Hey Rei" Tyson smiled at me and stopped his push-ups but Kai sent him one of the trademarked death glares and he got back to work. Max didn't say anything he just shot me a smile from where he was, Max was playing it safe. We all knew how dangerous it was to play on Kai's nerves.
"Take a seat Rei, they're going to be at this for a while" Kai said and smirked at the groans as the three friends infront of us collapsed onto the floor.
"Ahh Kai that's not fair" Tyson moaned from where he had collapsed
"And the more you complain about it the more you do" Kai and I took our seats and I found myself laughing at the three as they mumbled curses under their breath, it wasn't really fair to laugh at their expense but it was fun.
Kai's POV
I watched as one by one the bladebreakers left my house, I had been upset when Rei had left first, I had some things that I'd wanted to discuss with him but had never gotten the chance. I sighed and walked back into the house closing the doors behind me, I hated knowing that he was hurt and knowing that there was nothing I could do about it.
"Had fun?" I glanced around the room searching for the origin of the voice, I sighed and walked over to where my chair was positioned infront of the fire place.
"You're in my chair" I glared down at the red head as he flicked through the book he held in his hand,
"You're point?" I sighed and sat down in the chair next to his "so what's wrong with the kitten? That was him I saw limping out of here wasn't it?"
"Yeah"
"What's up?"
"He's hurt Tala, real bad"
"How come?" Tala placed his book down on the table and turned in his chair to face me, I had his complete attention and that's what I needed. Someone to talk to, someone with a clear mind.
"He said he fell"
"He fell? Oh come on, do you know how many times we've used that excuse thanks to that psychopathic grandfather of yours?" I looked into Tala's ice blue eyes, I could see what he was thinking, I had thought it to but dismissed it.
"No! I've met his parents their a nice family" he laughed and shook his head from side to side
"You know I've heard people say that you and your grandfather were a 'nice family' doesn't mean that it's true" I glared at him but he was right, there was no way to tell what people were really like behind closed doors. I shifted my gaze to the fireplace looking for an answer to my questions "you want to help him don't you?"
"Yeah and I know what I need to do, it's the how that's giving me the most trouble"
"Well I was always good with the how's" I smiled at him, he was right, he always had bright ideas to get himself out of tight spots, given sometimes they back fired but the majority of them were good.
"I need to get him away from his dad"
"So you do think it's the parents"
"No, it's not his mom she's fine, it's his dad. I don't know, when I met him he was a nice enough guy but something was off" he smiled mischievously an idea was forming in his mind and something was telling me I wasn't going to like it. "What is it?"
"Your not gonna like it" how did I know?
"Go on" I sighed since I didn't have any idea's of my own I had no choice but to listen to him.
"Well, you wanna get Rei away from his father right?" I nodded and he continued "well to do that you'd need to get him out of the house right?" I nodded again
"At least until his mom comes back" he smiled before continuing
"So, invite him to a sleepover"
"Are you joking? If I invite Rei to a sleepover the others are bound to suspect something" he laughed and I could see what was coming and it scared me
"So invite the others" I looked at him with a shocked look on my face, I had seen it coming from a mile off but it had still shocked me that he had suggested it. "Ha ha, Kai Hiwatari throwing a sleepover for the bladebreakers. Oh this I have to see" I glared at him and he stopped laughing
"Why are you even staying here?"
"Cause I have no where else to go and you weren't going to let me sleep out on the street, so you invited me to stay with you"
"That doesn't sound like something I'd do"
"Your right, I broke in through an upstairs window whilst you were out" I laughed at his joke and walked over to the window.
"I hate to admit this but I'm going to need your help"
"Really?" I laughed at how shocked Tala looked, I guess he couldn't believe that I was actually asking him for his help
"Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, I'm not the most sociable person in the world" Tala sighed and walked over to the window he draped his arm over my shoulder and laughed at me
"You got that straight, don't worry buddy, I'll be here to help... or laugh at your expense it really depends on which frame of mind I'm in at the time" he hit my jaw playfully, I swung for him and he ducked and jumped back into my chair.
"Watch it Ivanov" I growled, he just laughed and shook his head
"You'd best get started on your invites, it's going to take them a day to get over the shock" Tala laughed again and jumped out of my chair running off down the hall. I growled at him but then my growl turned into a laugh, it was nice having Tala here, as a friend. I had my eyes set on someone else
