Warning: Yaoi fluff if that sort of stuff upsets you of makes you sick leave now cause once your in you can't turn back
Summary: Rei is being abused by his father, rather than confiding in his friends and asking them for help, he hides it from the ones closet to him but there is one person that he cannot fool. 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 god, this is late, it was supposed to be up yesterday but I planned to upload it at school. Anyway I got there and found that my school have blocked and not for anything like yaoi oh no, they've blocked it because of 'recreation' I mean come on could you get any more pathetic?
Bryan: that is rather pathetic
Nikki: so now I have to upload it at home. Oh Well here's the seventh chapter, wow I'm having so much fun writing this. I got this great idea from a review from the third chapter. Angel spirit said about how there could be a snowstorm and everyone could be stuck at Kai's. I thought that this was such a great idea, I had said about it being cold in chapter three and that there was talk of snow but I wasn't going to take it any further. Then I read through the reviews and thought that I could run with this idea, so I'm going to. Before I go any further I just want to say a huge thank you to Angel spirit for providing me with the idea for this chapter but not only her I want to thank all of my reviewers for giving me the courage to keep writing. It always makes my day reading what you have to say about my work, TalaxBryan wedding set plushies for all you guys (hands out plushies)
Bryan: aren't you forgetting something?
Nikki: I don't know, am I?
Tala: the Rei's stepfather plushie torture set
Nikki: oh yeah thanks for reminding me about that guys, for those of you who watch Yu-Gi-Oh I figured that Rei's evil stepfather would look like Kaiba's evil stepfather. Why? Cause he's the only evil stepfather I know.
Kai: Makes sense
Nikki: Hmm, who could I get to do the disclaimer today?
Jing: Hey guys let me introduce you to my good friend Bakura, from Yu-Gi-Oh
Nikki: he'll do, Bakura do the disclaimer
Bakura: I was just looking for Marik so that I could apologise for throwing him out but sure why not? Nikki doesn't own Beyblade and I think she's starting to get annoyed about being reminded of that every five minutes.
Nikki: Damn straight, oh well writing this chapter will cheer me up for sure.
Rei's POV
My eyes slowly flickered open, I was still shocked that I had spent the night at Kai's house. I had been sure that I would only ever dream of that but here I was, I looked at the fire and saw that it was out. I didn't understand why I was so warm if the fire was out. I shook the thought away and went to get up but I couldn't move, something was holding onto me, I looked down to see two pale muscular arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I carefully rolled over in the strong arms so that I could see the face of whoever was holding onto me. I gasped silently when I saw Kai's sleeping face, I smiled and lifted my hand up to the blue triangles that were painted on either cheek and traced them carefully, I slowly lent up to his forehead and placed a small kiss onto his pale skin, God he was perfect. The only thing I hated about this moment was that his eyes were closed, I knew that I wouldn't be doing this if he was awake but that didn't stop me from wanting to stare into his beautiful crimson eyes.
I shivered as a cold breeze slipped inbetween us but warmed up almost instantly when Kai pulled me closer to him. I smiled and stared up at his sleeping face, I raised my hand and slipped it through his two toned locks. I had wanted to do that for so long, his hair was so soft that I never wanted to move my hand away from it. I sighed at the wish and rubbed my temples with my hands.
"What am I doing?" I asked myself but no answer was given, I shifted closer to him and buried my head into his bare chest. I gently traced his well-toned abs with my hands and couldn't help but wonder what he'd say if he woke up now and saw this. I shook the thought away, if it happened it happened I'd deal with the situation if and when it presented itself. Until then I was going to enjoy the moment, I slid closer to him and glanced around the room, looking for a clock. I wanted to know what time it was, it felt like seven in the morning but it was too dark. Like I cared what the time was but I did have to try and focus my thoughts on something other than the Russian that was holding me tightly to his bare chest before a new and interesting problem arose. (A/N: I so hope you guys know what I'm talking about)
I couldn't help but notice how great he smelt how wonderful his skin felt to me or how amazing it was to feel his breath on my skin. I wrapped my arms around him and lightly kissed his neck, I slid away from him when I realised how weird this was. It felt like I was taking advantage of the sleeping captain, I didn't want to take advantage of him. I tried to break free from his arms but it seemed that the more I drew away the tighter he pulled me to him. So that was that, I was stuck here, I didn't mind, I'd just have to go back to sleep. I smiled and buried my head back into his chest when I heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Master Kai is not in his room Master Ivanov, where else would he be but in here with his friends, oh my, what on earth happened in here?" I knew that Norman was referring to Tyson, Max and Kenny and the mess they had made because, well, Norman was old fashioned and if he saw his employer with me cuddled up infront of the fire. Something was telling me that he would say a little more than 'oh my'
"Did you check the bathroom?"
"Yes, Master Ivanov, hmm I should start cleaning before Master Kai awakes "
"What about the pool?" It sounded to me like Tala was trying to get Norman to leave, had he seen Kai and me and was trying to save the old man from a heart attack? Did Tala care if the old man had a heart attack or was there an ulterior motive for this sudden change of heart?
"Are you suggesting that Master Kai may have gone for an early morning swim? Because that doesn't seem like something he'd do. Master Kai likes to swim in the evenings. Any way, I will search for him later, first I must clean this mess" I heard a low growl come from Tala as he stepped infront of Norman, stopping him from going any further into the room.
"I'll clean it"
"You Master Ivanov? Clean? Hmm I don't mean to be disrespectful but when you first arrived here you thought that the glass cleaner was a bottle of vodka" the old man chuckled and Tala growled again
"I will never live that down, but yes, I Tala Ivanov will clean this lounge whilst you go and find Kai"
"Agreed" a loud sigh of relief came from Tala and I heard the tap of Norman's shoes as he walked off down the hall.
"Yeah, as if I'm going to clean this mess, Tyson can do it when he wakes up and I bet that when Kai wakes up and looks outside, he's going to have a coronary and who on earth am I talking to. Great I'm crazy, everyone look at crazy Tala as he babbles away to himself. Oh for the love of God I'm still doing it" I couldn't help but worry about Tala's state of mind as he walked off down the corridor. But then again he had always carried the label of 'the unstable experiment of biovolt' I guess he was just living up to his title. And what the hell was so bad about outside that it would make Kai have a heart attack. I wished that I could get up and have a look, but Kai was just too strong for me to be able to break away from his grip. Not that I minded being in his arms, it was rather comforting, I yawned and closed my eyes as I shifted ever closer to the sleeping Russian, this was a moment that I would carry with me forever.
Kai's POV
I slowly opened my eyes, I had the most annoying feeling that I had over slept, I had wanted to go out and train with Dranzer at five. But the annoying little voice in the back of my head was telling me that it was now much later and all hopes of training had disappeared into thin air. I yawned and went to look at my wristwatch but instead saw a head of silky black hair. I knew whom it was without even having to think about it. I guessed that I'd fallen asleep whilst I'd been holding him last night, I moved my arm from where it was holding onto his waist and ran it through his hair. I smiled at him and ran my hand down the side of his face. I brushed the strands of raven hair away from his face and smiled when I saw how close he was snuggled to my chest.
"Um very interesting" I looked over at the door to see Tala leaning against the frame, I growled angrily and he laughed at me "I thought you were just friends"
"Ivanov" I growled angrily, he shook his head from side to side and walked over to the white leather couch that Kenny was sprawled across. He raised an inquisitive eyebrow at the young computer geek before carelessly pushing him onto the floor. I sighed and watched as Kenny fell to the floor with a loud thud. I looked back at Rei when I felt him squirm in my arms, I noticed the scar on the base of his neck and traced it lightly as I had done the day before.
"Have you looked outside yet?"
"No, why?" Tala shrugged and motioned at the window no doubt telling me to go and take a look. I sighed and unwrapped my arms from the sleeping neko-jin, I went to move but couldn't, Rei had his arms wrapped around my waist. I smiled at him and carefully removed his arms from where they were tightly holding onto me. I saw the kitten shiver as my body slipped away from his, I hated the fact that he was cold, I grabbed the blanket from where it was draped over the chair and placed it over his sleeping body.
"Oh Kai, don't worry, if Rei's cold I could always snuggle up to him. You know, I once heard that the best way to keep warm was strip down and climb into a sleeping bag with someone that was already naked. I never much believed it, but I could always give it a try"
"He's fine, thank you Tala, now what was all this about something outside?"
"You're going to flip"
"Why?" Tala smiled innocently and walked over to the window, he grabbed hold of the curtains and pulled them back. I stared out of the window and shook my head in disbelief.
"Did you have anything to do with this?"
"Kai, how could you even suggest that, I mean of course not, no one man can control the weather."
"What about one bit-beast?"
"It was all over the news last night that a snowstorm was headed this way, it's not my fault you were too preoccupied to switch on the t.v and watch." He winked at me before turning and walking back out of the door "look's like the kittens going to be stuck here for a few more days, hmm this is going to be fun. For me and him anyway" I growled at him as he walked out of the door, I didn't know what he was playing at but I knew that he had best keep his wolf like paws away from Rei. If he wanted to keep them that was.
"Ah Master Kai there you are, I've been searching everywhere for you... Oh where is Master Ivanov, he told me that he would clean the lounge"
"Don't worry about it Norman, Tyson and Max can clean it, all I have to do is wake them up" I thought for a while and then saw the pitcher of water on the glass table in the corner of the room, I smiled and walked over to it. Norman studied me carefully as I lifted the jug from the table and wandered over to where the blond and blunette lay.
"Master Kai?" I held the pitcher above their heads and tipped the water out onto them
"What the..."
"Ahh! I'm wet!" Tyson and Max jumped up and started wiping of their clothes
"Oh god my head" the blond rubbed his head with his hand and then looked over at his friend who was doing the same.
"Good morning, sleep well" they both looked over at me and went to shake their heads but the glare in my eyes must have changed their minds because they started to nod. "Good, now get cleaning, you made this mess and I want it cleaned by the time I get changed or there will be hell to pay. Do you understand me?" They both nodded and I looked over at Kenny and Rei, "Norman could you take him to one of the guestrooms, he wasn't responsible for this" I said and motioned at Kenny.
"Of course Master Kai" he walked over to Kenny and took the small boy in his arms. I glanced at Max and Tyson who were now holding hands and discussing the events of the night before.
"So where do we go from here Maxie?"
"To the kitchen to get the cleaning fluids, which you will then bring in here and use to tidy my house" Tyson and Max smiled sheepishly at me before hanging their heads in shame and walking in the direction of the kitchen. I waited for them to disappear behind the door before walking back over to Rei. He was still shivering and I couldn't blame him, the heating had gone out at eleven last night and the fire would have only stayed lit for two more hours after that. All that would have been keeping the smaller boy warm was my body heat and now that had been taken away from him. I quietly walked over to where he lay and carefully brought him into my arms (A/N: Bridal style) I was surprised at how light he was and couldn't help but smile when he buried his head back into my chest.
I carefully carried him thorough the house and to my bedroom, I pushed the door open and stepped into the large room.
"Meow" Kyan offered me a cheerful greeting as I walked over to the bed with the sleeping neko-jin in my arms. I slowly placed Rei in the middle of the large bed and covered him with the black silk bed sheet. I ran my hand down the side of his face and placed a light kiss onto his forehead, I smiled at the kitten. He was no longer shivering and I was happy for that that was why I had brought him here, my room had always been the warmest in the house. "Meow" Kyan walked over and tapped Rei's side with his paw in an attempt to wake the sleeping boy. I growled angrily and Kyan looked at me, his eyes met with mine and he understood that he was in trouble and that he shouldn't ever do that again.
"Go find Tala" I said to the cat as it leapt of the bed and circled my right leg hoping that I would bend down and pay some attention to the small animal rather than the beautiful boy that was now fast asleep in my bed. Kyan stopped and thought about this for a while before deciding that annoying the red head was much more fun than craving attention from me.
"Meow" Kyan lifted his paw as if to say goodbye before he ran out of the room.
Tala's POV
I threw myself down onto the bed and yawned, I was so tired, I hadn't slept at all last night thanks to Kai and Rei. I was so pre occupied with setting those two up that I was letting my relationship with Bryan slip through the cracks, but this had to be done. I had to get them together, they needed each other and they knew it, but they wouldn't admit it.
"Goddamn them" I muttered as I rolled over and buried my head into the soft white pillows. I cringed when a loud ring vibrated through my pillow and straight into my head. I think it was very possible that I had a slight hangover as well as being tired. I sighed and searched around under the pillow for the loudly ringing object.
"What?" I asked as I placed the infernal object next to my ear
"What a lovely greeting" I recognised the sarcasm in the voice of being that of my koi's but why had he called me now, I had told him that I would call him later or as soon as I had any new information. "And what's all this about a snowstorm?"
"How did you know about that?" I rolled over on the bed and stared up at the ceiling, I would never admit it but it was comforting to hear his voice.
"A little falcon was talking to a wolf and it just came up, why didn't you tell me what you were planning?"
"Wolborg squealed on me to Falborg?" A low laugh came from the boy on the other end of the phone and I couldn't help but smile
"No actually, I didn't have the slightest clue what was going on down there, apart from the snowstorm. But now I know that you're up to something and I demand to know what"
"I'm just going to get Kai and Rei together, that's all" I waited for a quirky response or witty comeback but there wasn't one, "Bryan?" I had to check that he was still there, surely he would have said something by now if he was still there. I mean this was Bryan, I knew him better than I knew the back of my hand and I knew that he liked to torture me. So why was he being so quiet?
"I believe you"
"What?" I blinked a few hundred times in shock, he sounded like he meant it
"Tala, I trust you and that is why I'm telling you to do this"
"Do what?"
"Flirt"
"With Rei?" I was surprised that he was asking this off me, I mean my koi had called me to tell me to flirt with another man. Did normal people ask this of their partners?
"With Rei with Kai, anything to force those two to admit their feelings to one another and bring you back to Russia, back to me" the seduction tingeing his voice was driving me mad. Oh well at least his torturing nature was back. "Goodbye Tala, I have something to do with Spencer, or rather I have to do Spencer"
"What do you mean you have something to do with Spencer? Bryan? It was a joke right? You're teasing me, right?"
"I might be"
"Yeah well, I kissed Kenny"
"Uh... Spencer, stop"
"Bryan!" He laughed again, most likely at my expense
"Do you seriously think that I would do that with Spencer? You have a very low opinion of me don't you Tala?"
"What? No" I sighed and heard him laugh again, he was definitely back to his teasingly torturing self.
"Tala?" I jumped about a mile in the air when I saw Kai walk into my room. Oh crap, if he knew that I was talking to Bryan he would kill me for sure. All I have to do is say goodbye to Bryan hang up the phone, act like everything is cool and talk to Kai.
"Is that Kai, Tala? Hmm if he catches you talking to me you'll be in trouble won't you? Growl once for yes twice for no" I growled angrily and heard him laugh, oh fuck, he was planning something, but what.
"Tala, I need to talk to you about something" Kai walked into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed, I sighed and signalled for him to give me a minute.
"Well, sorry mom but I've gotta go, Kai needs my help"
"Oh but I need your help too wolfie, you remember those leather trousers I brought right? Well just how fabulous did my ass look in them" I coughed slightly at the question, I remembered those trousers very well and the mental image in my mind was incredibly pornographic, and I had to get rid of it, fast. I licked my lips slowly and shook the image away.
"I'm sorry, I can't talk any more Kai really needs me"
"I need you too, I need you lips, your tongue, your eyes, your body but mostly your..." I hung up the phone and tried to stop the smile from spreading across my face, but failed. I made a mental note to give Bryan the cold shoulder for, oh I don't know, the rest of his life.
"Who was that?" Kai's eyes were ordering me to give him the truth and not some corny lie like the mother thing. You see I hadn't actually told Kai that Bryan and me were together, we hadn't even told Ian and Spencer and if I told him now he would never believe that my flirting with Rei and possibly him was for real.
"It doesn't matter, what did you want to talk about?"
"Rei" I tried to see into his eyes but he was choosing to stare at the floor and my will alone wasn't enough to get him to change his mind.
"What about the gorgeous little kitten?" I sat up on my bed and slid my hand down his back, let the flirtations game begin.
"He's hurt Tala real bad" I stared at the back of my friends head as he sat there clutching his hands together into one big fist. His knuckles were white and I knew that this was not the time to make him angry. He was on the warpath, ready to kill, the phoenix inside him was prepared to destroy everything in its way and I did not want to be one of those things.
"I don't understand Kai" I spoke softly, comfortingly, I wanted him to talk to me, to open up to me.
"It's his father"
"So I was right" he stood up and walked over to the window, this was a tell of his, he did it when he was nervous or worried. He'd just get up and wander over to a corner of the room where he could be alone and have time to process his thoughts. I don't think that he even knew why he did it,
"You should see what that bastards done to him" his tone was icy and distant yet still managed to burn with fire and hatred. I knew that this matter was serious but I couldn't help but smile, he didn't mean to, but his body language was telling me that he would do anything, would go to any lengths to protect the small raven haired koneko.
"What has he done to him"
"He's hurt him, badly"
"You've said that" I know that sounded harsh but if I was ever going to find out about what was going on, I needed him to stop going round in circles and tell me something that I didn't already know.
"He's a wreck, both emotionally and physically, not only is this man beating him until he coughs up blood but he's telling him that he's a pathetic wimp that no one could ever love. The worst thing is, Rei's starting to believe it" I studied my friend as he stared out of the window, this had really affected him. I wasn't going to say anything, I thought that it would be best to let him finish before I gave him any words of advice. "He's falling to pieces Tala, his body's such a mess, cuts, bruises and scars everywhere and yet he still smiles and jokes. He tries to forget about it and wish it away, thinking that it'll stop when his mom gets home and it might. But what happens when she goes away again? How far is this man going to take it? When will he stop?"
"You know the answer to that, don't make me say it" he turned to face me, his eyes locking with mine, the truth was this guy wasn't going to stop, not till every last drop of Rei's blood was spilled out on the floor. The sad thing was this man attacked when he was drunk, he probably couldn't even remember what he had done once he sobered up and this is what made him so dangerous.
"I'm going to help him Tala"
"I know"
"Go on then, pick up the phone, call Bryan, call the demolition boys, tell them everything, but stay out of my way. I need to calm down before I talk to anyone" his eyes were glazed over and it was as if he wasn't even there. He was scaring me and I knew that if we weren't snowed in he would have driven over to Rei's house and got his revenge on the man that had hurt his kitten so badly. I couldn't help but sympathise, I had been through it all before, the way Boris used to beat Bryan drove me mad, everytime he touched my falcon I wanted to kill him but I couldn't. This was now what Kai was going through, no one had been there to help me through it, but I would be there for him.
Nikki: um... yeah that kinda sucked, I'm sorry, it was a lot of sleeping and waking up and talking on the phone and I have the annoying feeling that there was more TalaxBryan than anything else. I guess I just wanted to set the scene and have all of the emotions up in the air so that I could manipulate them, as I wanted.
Bryan: it's always about you isn't it?
Nikki: No
Tala: I agree with Bryan
Kai: I agree with Tala agreeing Bryan
Rei: I agree with Kai agreeing with Tala agreeing with Bryan
Nikki: (blink, blink) ok whatever well review and tell me how crap you thought that chapter was, I promise that the next chappie will be better, but it really depends on how awful or good my day has been. I know that I'm being very evil and making you wait for the KaixRei to get going and I just want to say thanks for sticking with it for so long.
Bryan: wow Nikki that was really heart felt
Kai: yeah who knew she had a heart
Nikki: Kai, you're forgetting that I could say the exact same thing about you. Let's see what plushies could I give away today. (Searches through draws and cupboards.) Ahh this is perfect, this time I'm giving away the KaixRei love shrine plushie set that comes with a baby Dranzer mini plushie and a baby Drigger mini plushie
Rei: Ahh they're adorable
Kai: of course they are they're of us
Nikki: you're quiet vein aren't you Kai?
