But what will this person do to help his friend when Rei refuses to accept his help. ReixKai, what can I say I'm obsessed
Nikki: Oh my god! 45 reviews, I can hardly believe it KaixRei wedding set plushies for everyone. You all deserve them (throws KaixRei wedding set plushies to all reviewers), I'm so sorry about the fluff, I've kinda pushed it all back 2 chapters, so that means that there won't be much fluff in this chapter but the next, chapter will be overflowing with fluffiness, is that a word. Oh well, Zoutou, it's good to see ya again. Cool Tala's your cousin, I should have guessed that because of the Ivanov but I'm just not that bright. Well anyway, Bryan is my cousin, lets set them up on a date
Tala: Nikki, we've been dating for years
Nikki: seriously?
Tala: Yeah
Nikki: wow, I'm so hurt that he didn't tell me about that
Tala: really?
Nikki: Nah I don't really care, we're not that close, well anyway I should get started on the fic before everyone leaves, right let's see if I can do the disclaimer for once. Of course I own Beyblade, didn't you see my name on the credits?
Tala: Nikki what colour is the sky in your world?
Nikki: there is no sky, there is no world, I just float around in space with a computer, TV, VCR, DVD player my whole wardrobe and a satellite dish. AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PINK!!!!!!!
Tala: ok medicine time, Rei will you do the disclaimer? Properly
Rei: sure, Nikki does NOT own Beyblade, never has and never will. No matter how hard she wishes for it.
Nikki: Why did you have to go and say that for Rei? Well a lot of peeps liked Tala, who wouldn't? So I decided that every once in a while I would show you Kai and Rei's relationship through someone else's eyes and Tala happens to be that someone else, enjoy oh P.S. Angel spirit, thanks, you'll see why later (winks)
Tala's POV
I watched as Kai stormed out of the kitchen, he shot me a death glare before disappearing off down the corridor. My plan had worked, I knew everything, I had had my suspicions before but I was only 99.9 sure, now I was the full 100.
"Where's Kai going?"
"What's his problem?"
"Maybe we should go see if he's ok"
"What did you say to him Tala?" The last voice was Rei's; I laughed slightly at how angry he was "what's so funny?" Now he was kinda scaring me, he grabbed hold of my collar and growled as he bared his fangs. This was interesting to say the least, I never thought of Rei as the violent type, then again he was only looking out for Kai. "Tell my what you said Ivanov" I wondered why people always called me by my last name when they were angry with me.
"Calm down Rei, god you're acting like Kai. If I promise to go and sort things out with him will you spare my life?" His eyes narrowed and I took it that he didn't like my joke but he nodded in agreement and let me go "thanks" he growled again and I held back the laughter, God these two were getting on my nerves.
"Go!" Everyone's heads turned to look at Rei, his eyes narrowed again, I sighed heavily
"Fine, but you guys have to find a game for us all to play when I bring the ice king back" they all nodded and I started down the corridor. I reached Kai's door and pushed it open quietly, I walked over to the bed and sat on the end. It was pitch black in the room but the door to the bathroom was slightly a jar and was allowing a small stream of light to flood into the room. If I knew Kai, which I did, he would have taken a shower, he always did that when he was angry. It was as if he was trying to wash the anger away. A few minutes later he stepped out of the bathroom wearing a pair of navy blue jeans and a tight black T-shirt. "Hey Kai" he glared at me and I figured that it would have been better for my health if I would have just stayed quite.
"What are you doing here?"
"The neko-jin in the lounge forced me to come and apologise" I ducked when the tub of blue paint came flying at my head "maybe you should go back in the shower" he glared at me and I sighed again "ok Kai why don't you tell me what's going on"
"What do you mean what's going on?" I lightly pinched the bridge of my nose before continuing
"Between you and Rei"
"There is nothing going on between me and Rei"
"Have you heard of the river in Egypt called De Nile" I laughed at my own joke but all Kai offered was yet another death glare "come on Kai we never had secrets before and now seems like a pretty strange time to start." He sighed and hit the light switch, illuminated the room before walking over to the bed and sitting down next to me. I draped my arm over his shoulders and laughed slightly at his expense.
"What?"
"Do you even know what your feelings are about?"
"No"
"Well I'm not going to tell you, you'll feel better when you figure it out for yourself" he looked at me slightly confused but then laughed, yeah Kai Hiwatari laughing, trust me you had to see it to believe it. "Come on let's just get back to your party" we stood up and walked over to the door.
"I'm sorry I threw the paint at you"
"It's ok, I'm just glad that the wall was blue to begin with" I turned around and looked over at the wall where the tub had hit. The impact had caused the lid to come off and lets just say that if I wouldn't have ducked I would have been covered in Kai's face paint.
Rei's POV
I was sat in the leather chair infront of the fire waiting for Tala and Kai to come back, I was starting to regret sending Tala to apologise. For some reason I was feeling jealous of Tala and his friendship with Kai, I had never been able to get that close probably never would. Why did that upset me so much? I didn't know, I just couldn't explain my feelings at the moment. I sighed and stared into the fire, I found it captivating as it burnt away at the wood and coal. I leaned back in the chair and looked over at Tyson and Max who were fighting over the correct way to lay out the board game that Kenny had brought with him. Kenny was arguing with Dizzi over, which of the two bladers was the stupidest, and Kai and Tala were yet to return. God did I have to keep reminding myself about that, what were they doing that was taking so long anyway, ok that was one thing that I didn't want to think about.
"Well there, I told you I'd apologise, I did, a couple of objects were thrown at me but I survived. Are you happy now?" Tala asked as he slumped into the chair next to me. I nodded but I wasn't happy, not really. "What's wrong with you?" I shrugged and for the first time in about an hour remembered about the cuts and bruises on my back. "Come on I'm on a roll with fixing problems"
"It's nothing ok!"
"Rei are you alright?" I looked over at Kenny who was hugging Dizzi protectively to his chest.
"Yeah I'm fine, I just need a drink that's all" I pushed myself up out of the chair and walked into the kitchen, where was Kai? Why had Tala come back without him? Had he killed him? No of course not, but what did we actually know about Tala? What did we actually know about Kai? I grabbed a glass and walked over to the sink my head was pounding with questions and I couldn't find the answers, I turned on the tap and filled the glass with water.
"Rei?" I turned around to see Kai stood in the doorway, he looked amazing, his hair was slightly wet and sparkling in the dim light that slipped in from the other room. He had on a dark pair of blue jeans and was wearing a tight fitting black T-shirt that showed off his well-toned chest "What are you doing?"
"Uh... getting a glass of water" I showed him the glass and smiled slightly "do you want one?" he shook his head and I smiled again before taking a sip of the water,
"Hey guys come on Tyson wants to start the game" we both looked over at Max and walked out into the lounge to see Tyson, Kenny and Tala sat around a game board infront of the fire.
"So what game is it?" I asked as Max led us over to the middle of the room.
"Cluedo" Tala explained and smiled at us as we sat down on the floor "Kenny was just about to say who was going to be who"
"Ok well, I guess I'll be Professor Plumb, Tyson can be Miss White, Max can be Mrs Peacock, Kai can be Colonel Mustard, Rei can be Miss Scarlet and Tala can be Reverend Green"
"What? ME? A REVEREND? Are you crazy?"
"Which one of these is Miss white?"
"Oh why do I have to be Mrs peacock? She's all old and ugly"
"Let's just get on with the game" I smiled at them all and they nodded, Kenny handed out the sheets, the pens and gave us all three cards. I looked at my cards I had Colonel Mustard, the dining room and the spanner. Hmm funny I'd just cleared Kai of all charges.
"Rei you're Miss Scarlet so you have to start" Kenny explained I took the dice and shook them before rolling them onto the game board I got a six on one dice and a one on the other so I moved seven spaces along the board.
"Your turn Kai" I said and picked up the die, I handed them to him and let my hand brush against his as I dropped them into his hand. He smiled at me and I blushed, I wasn't used to Kai smiling especially not at me. He rolled a five on one dice and a five on the other, he moved ten spaces and then handed the dice to Tyson.
"You could have gone into a room then" Kenny explained
"Ha ha don't worry about it Kenny, Kai knows what he's doing" Tala told him and smiled at Kai
"Yeah, I got a twelve!" Tyson stuck his tongue out at everyone and then moved his piece over the game board and into the kitchen
"How did I know that you'd go into the kitchen?" Kai asked causing everyone except for Tyson to laugh. About quarter of an hour into the game Tyson was angry that Kai hadn't been playing the game properly and sparks were just about to fly.
"Kai! The aim of the game is not to move your playing piece as far around the board as possible! You actually have to ask people what cards they have if you ever want to find out who the murderer is!" I studied Kai's face as Tyson shouted at him and saw a smile spread across his perfect features "and what may I ask is so FUNNY!"
"I know who the murderer is, I've known since the beginning of the game but I thought that I'd give you a chance to get it. But I should have realised that you were too slow to understand that"
"Oh yeah well who is it?"
"Reverend Green in the lounge with the revolver"
"Sure blame me!" Everyone turned to face Tala and gave him a confused look, he smiled and scratched his head "sorry, I got caught up in the moment" meanwhile Kenny was sliding the cards out of the envelope to see if Kai was right
"Kai, you just one the game" Kenny showed us all the cards and sure enough Kai had been correct
"He cheated!" Tyson shouted and jumped up waving an accusing finger at Kai
"No actually Kai's always been good at board games" Tala announced and smiled again, he seemed to do that a lot. When I'd first met him I'd never figured him as the smiling type but now it's all he did.
"Rematch!" Tyson demanded. Ten rematches later Kai had won every single game without even making a move, which you had to admit was pretty impressive "rematch?" Tyson asked
"No! No more, this game is driving me mad!" Max said and folded the game up dumping it all back into the box and handing it to Kenny, "burn it!" he demanded.
"What are we going to do now?" Tyson asked as he slumped onto the chair that was sat on the other side of the room infront of the wide screen plasma TV
"I'm glad you asked" Tala jumped up and ran off down the hallway "everyone get comfortable I'll be back in a minute"
Kai's POV
"Where's he going?" I turned to look at Rei and smiled,
"Ah he rented a couple of movies for tonight"
"Which one's?"
"I'm not sure, let's sit down and wait" I motioned towards the white leather couch and watched as he sat down. I smiled and sat down next to him, I loved to be close to him, he was always so kind and inviting, no matter what I did he forgave me. I had to resist the urge to stroke the side of his face. I wanted to pull him into a tight embrace and I still wanted to talk to him about whatever was going on with his dad. But I'd wait, for now we were just going to sit here and watch the movies that Tala had rented. For a few minutes I could just be close to him without worrying about what the others were thinking.
"Ok, I have two DVD's one in my left hand and one in my right so someone pick a hand and that's the movie that we will watch first" I looked up to see Tala stood infront of the TV with his hands hidden behind his back
"Left!" Tyson called out before anyone else had even had a chance to think about the question
"Halloween resurrection it is"
"Oh no not that, what was the other one?" Kenny whined as Tala placed the DVD in the player and waited for it to load
"You will find that out later" Tala laughed and slid the other DVD into the draw underneath the DVD player.
"Oh I hate scary movies" Tala walked over to where Rei and me were sat and sat down next to Rei. He laughed at Kenny and grabbed a pillow that was underneath Rei, he yanked it out from behind his back and threw it at Kenny, I watched as Rei grabbed hold of his shoulder in pain and placed my hand on his arm.
"You ok?" I asked him quietly, he nodded and looked away but I knew that he was lying, why did he think he had to lie to me? Why couldn't he trust me? I caught sight of Tala and gave him a death glare he shrugged and shot me the best apologetic look that he could manage. I ignored him and looked at Rei, he was in pain, I knew that, but I didn't know what to do about it. For the first time in my life I didn't have all the answers. The movie went by quickly and everyone except for Kenny really enjoyed it.
"So what's next?" Tyson asked
"Why don't you get it out of the draw and I'll go get some drinks and snacks for everyone" Tyson nodded and walked over to the draw. I saw the smirk on Tala's face as he walked into the kitchen. What was he up to now? A few minutes later the DVD was set up and everything was ready to go, all we were waiting for was Tala, but not for long a few seconds later Tala stepped out into the lounge carrying a tray of food and drinks. He placed it down on the table and Tyson dived for the food.
"What's this movie Tala?" Kenny asked and hugged Dizzi closer to him "It's not another horror movie is it?"
"No this one's a comedy, it called naked gun 21/2" (A/N: I love this film, its soo funny, if you've seen it you'll most likely laugh at the memory, if you haven't seen it I strongly recommend it, if that is your looking for a good laugh : D )
"Cool" Max, said as he tried to pull Tyson away from the food. I ignored everyone else and stared down at Rei he was smiling at the scene that played out infront of him.
"Screw the film, lets just watch Tyson and Max fight it out" Tala smiled at the two when they shot him a death glare, they sighed and glanced at each other before sitting back down on either side of Kenny.
Now lets all congratulate Frank Drebin for his one thousands drug dealer killed
Applause
Thank you, in all honesty the last two I backed over with my car, luckily they turned out to be drug dealers
Halfway through the film everyone was in fits of laughter, Tyson had even laughed so hard that he'd fallen off of the couch and was now rolling around on the floor. Rei was laughing too and it was really nice to see him having so much fun, I watched concerned when he stopped laughing and studied him as he grabbed hold of his stomach in pain. I shifted closer to him on the couch and lent into him slightly.
"Rei?"
"I'm fine, just got a stitch from laughing too much, I'll be fine" I watched as he lent forward and reached for his drink, he took a sip and placed it back down on the table.
"I have something to tell you" we both turned out attention to Tyson who was sat back on the couch with his drink in his left hand and a crisp that he was using to point at Max in his right. "You see Maxie, I only just realised this, but I love you" was it just me or did he sound drunk?
"I love you too Tyson lets go to Vegas and get married" I looked over at Tala and saw that he was laughing himself into a coma. My gaze switched back to Tyson and Max as they lent in to hug each other, apparently neither of them realised that Kenny was sat inbetween them or if they had it didn't bother them.
"Ahh! Let me out!" Kenny screamed. Tala laughed even harder and I lent forward, I grabbed Max's drink and lifted it up to my lips, I took a small sip and studied the taste for a couple of minutes. I looked over at Tala who was watching me with an innocent smile spread across his face.
Tala's POV
My smile faded away when his eyes narrowed, crap he knew what I'd done, I thought that it was very amusing I mean look at the results. I'd managed to get two people to announce their love to each other in under an hour. If you ask me I deserve a medal, ok I didn't deserve a medal, but I deserved something and not a kick up the ass, which was what Kai would probably give me.
"Ivanov, kitchen, now!" Oh no he called me by my last name, that could only mean one thing, I was in trouble. I sighed and followed him into the kitchen, he closed the door behind me and switched on the light. He was angry, very angry and we were in a kitchen, with knifes and stuff. "You spiked their drinks?"
"No"
"I know what vodka tastes like you idiot and that's what was in Max's drink"
"Ok fine I spiked their drinks, but it's not like it's a crime"
"Listen to me very carefully Ivanov" I backed away when he started to close the gap between us, before I knew it I was backed up against the back door. Kai grabbed hold of my collar and glared at me "I don't care if you spiked Tyson's drink or Max's drink or even Kenny's drink and I certainly don't care if you drink yourself into an early grave. But if you spiked Rei's drink I will kill you, slowly and painfully, now tell me, did you spike Rei's drink?" I looked at him and shook my head, sure I had expected for him to be angry with me but he was furious, oh well. "Tell me the truth Ivanov!"
"Oh come on Kai do you really think that I'd be stupid enough to spike your crush's drink?" That got his attention, he let go of my collar and backed away from me
"What did you say?"
"You heard me, you have a thing for Rei Kon"
"What? No... no, were just friends"
"Oh come on Kai wake up and smell the coffee, you two are driving me crazy with your 'feelings,' you know full well that you like him as more than just a friend but you won't admit to it and neither will he. Your both a stubborn as each other and if you don't tell each other how you feel one day you're going to wake up old and alone wondering why you never got together with one another!" He blinked a few times, what else could he do, that was one hell of an outburst I'd even surprised myself, but it was the truth and he needed to hear it.
He didn't say anything but his reactions had given me the answer. I walked over to him I placed my hands on his shoulders forcing him to stare into my eyes
"Are you going to tell him?" he pulled out of my grip and walked out of the kitchen that answered the question for me.
Nikki: well there's the third chapter, I know it kinda sucked but I had this mega great idea for the next chapter which I will start writing a.s.a.p. I just have to get this crummy maths homework done before I can write anymore.
Tala: Nikki, since when do you bother to do your homework?
Nikki: Since my mom said that if my grades didn't improve she would take away my computer, disconnect the internet and then take all my beyblade tapes and merchandise, invite all of her friends round and have a bonfire. I refuse to watch my plushies burn!
Tala: didn't she already take one?
Nikki: Yeah but that was Mariah, who cares about her? Actually that gives me an idea review and tell me what your opinion of Mariah is, do you like her or loathe her? Come on tell me! And while you're at it tell me what you think of the fic so far and what you think should happen in the next chapter. This time the prize up for grabs is the TysonxMax Vegas wedding plushie set, it even comes with velcro wine bottles and a traumatised Kenny
