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: Haha, my biology teacher was just telling me about these goats that are really nervous and if you sneak up to them and whisper boo, the pass out

Bryan: and that was just so interesting that you had to tell us about it

Nikki: Yep

Tala: well there go three minutes of my life that I'm never getting back

Nikki: I thought it was very funny

Kai: you think everything's funny

Nikki: what's wrong with having a sense of humour?

Rei: absolutely nothing, don't let them get you down Nikki

Nikki: I won't, I'm sorry that this is so late but since I can't update in school anymore I have to do it at home and it takes longer that way because of set internet days. I don't suppose anyone brought someone with them to do the disclaimer for me, did they?

Brad: Here we are back in beautiful...uh...downtown...um...

A.J: We're in China, Brad. It's a country.

Nikki: actually you're in my skit, could you two please do my disclaimer for me

A.J: Uh... sure

Brad: Nikki doesn't own Beyblade or anything in this fic and I think that she's going to kill me for saying that

A.J: sure is Brad and that's because you did it wrong. Let a pro show you how it's done, Nikki does not own Beyblade however Norman and Kyan are all hers and I believe she has the right to sue if someone uses them without her permission

Brad: suing is such a beautiful thing isn't it A.J?

A.J: sure is Brad, unless you're the one being sued that is

Nikki: Ok... that was interesting well here goes, I hope you like,

Rei's POV

I woke to the sound of purring in my ear, I yawned and pushed myself up, I was sad that I had been able to do that. If I remembered correctly when I had woken up last time I was unable to move because Kai was holding me too tightly. Had he woken up and been disgusted with what he had seen? Did I repulse him? Is that why he wasn't here now? And where was here exactly?

"Ow" I rubbed my side in pain and looked at my surroundings, I remembered all of this. The dark blue walls the black furniture, the painting of Dranzer, Kyan sat on top of the black silk pillows and mainly the black silk sheets that I was wrapped in. This was Kai's room, this was Kai's bed, I had a million and one thoughts racing around my head but the main one was how on earth did I get here?

"Meow" Kyan lightly hit my hand and I stroked his head lightly, he purred at the gesture and I smiled at the small animal. The feel of the cats' fur was very much like the feel of Kai's hair. Both were soft and silky, I looked round the room again and noticed the digital clock on the nightstand was flashing ten am. I gasped and jumped out of bed, I had to get home quickly or I would be in serious trouble, I ran over to my bag in the corner of the room and quickly got changed into a fresh pair of clothes. I had overslept and if I didn't get back home now my dad was going to kill me. I was already in serious trouble for leaving without permission but if I wasn't home by quarter past he would be furious.

I kept checking the door to make sure no one was trying to get in, it would be so embarrassing to be getting changed and to have Kai walk in. I quickly brushed through my long raven hair and put it back up into the ponytail. I checked my appearance in the mirror and figured that it would do, Kyan watched me as I grabbed hold of my backpack and threw it onto my back.

"Ow" I scolded myself for being so stupid but I didn't have time to think about pain, not now anyway. I ran out of the room and down the corridor, after about five minutes of running I had to stop and think about where I was going. This house was huge and it would be so easy to get lost in it, I tried to think about the times I had been here before and which corridor to take now. I sighed and rubbed my temples, I was still tired and couldn't think straight. "Damn it!" I hit the wall and studied the corridor infront of me. It looked familiar and so I decided to take it.

I walked down the large corridor and came to a door, I glanced down at my watch and saw that it was ten past ten. I had five minutes to get home, I didn't have enough time. I growled and threw the doors open, I remembered this corridor and now knew exactly where I was going. I sighed in relief and ran down the hallway

"Ow!" I fell onto the floor with a loud thud, I grabbed my side in pain and took deep breaths to calm myself down.

"Rei?" I was about to tare into the person who had crashed into me but stopped when I saw that it was Kai. He stared down at me with a concerned look on his face and offered me his hand, "are you ok?" I nodded and placed my hand in his, he pulled me up to his level with such force that I narrowly avoided crashing into him for a second time. "Rei?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" I smiled at him and let go of his hand, I grabbed hold of my backpack and flung it back over my shoulder before I started walking off down the hall. I couldn't help but stop and stare at him for a while, he was dressed in a dark black vest top, with tight fitting black leather trousers. He had black leather wrist bands around his wrists and what appeared to be a black belt around his neck (A/N: Think Yami from Yu-Gi-Oh, cool, no?)

"Where are you going?"

"Home" he stared at me and raised an eyebrow in confusion, I tried to look away from him but I couldn't get my eyes to break away from the gorgeous looking Russian stood infront of me. "Thanks for everything" I went to walk away but he stepped infront of me stopping me from proceeding.

"You can't, there was a snowstorm last night and we're snowed in, I already got the others to call home and explain that they were staying here for a few more days and I think you should do the same."

"I can't"

"Rei, the roads are ice, there is no way you could drive home in this weather"

"I'll walk" his eyes locked onto me and I tried to stare him down but failed "I need to get home"

"You can't, please Rei, call him" his eyes were begging for me to give in, but I couldn't, I had to get home. The longer I stayed away and avoided the problem the worst it would become, but then again, my mom would be home in a couple of days and if I waited for her to come back before I went home. Things would be all right.

"I don't want to talk to him" I admitted the truth to him, there was no point in lying, he always managed to drag the truth out of me any way.

"I'll do it" I glanced up to see that he was completely serious about that, I smiled weakly and he placed his hand on my shoulder "just give me the number and I will sort everything out. I'm not going to let him hurt you Rei"

"Why?"

"Excuse me?"

"Why are you helping me Kai?" I looked up at him and felt his hand drift away from my shoulder, he turned around and looked at the floor. I wished that I had never asked that question but I needed to know if he felt anything like that towards me and this was the only way that I could think of asking it.

"I have to look out for my friends and my teammates, I would do this for any of you"

"Oh" it felt like my heart had been ripped out and thrown into a blender, I really had hoped that he thought of me as more than a teammate or a friend. But I guess being a friend was as close as I was ever going to get to Kai Hiwatari.

"Let's go phone your dad and tell him about this situation" I looked up at him and smiled, what else could I do, even if he didn't love me I wasn't going to stop being his friend or stop hanging around with him. He was trying to help me, one of the only people that ever had and I wasn't about to turn down his offer.

Kai's POV

We walked to the library in complete silence, I didn't have anything to say and neither did he, but we would have to talk eventually. I mean who knew how long this storm was going to last. It had started last night but was still going strong half way into today. I opened the door and held it open allowing Rei to go in first, I smiled at him as he walked past me and into what was my favourite room in the entire house. He gasped when he saw the room in the light and I couldn't help but laugh

"Kai, this is amazing" he walked over to the far wall and ran his hand over the books, I had to admit it was amazing, each wall was completely covered with books both old and new. Voltaire had created this room as my bedroom, he wanted me to be completely enclosed by books hoping that it would inspire me to read and I did. I read every last text in this room and in the whole house. I liked to read, always had, I wanted to be smarter and better than everyone else. Mainly to prove to my grandfather that I was worthy enough to be considered a member of his family. But when I had met Rei all of that changed. I no longer felt the need to prove myself to that madman. I felt the need to prove myself to him.

"What was the number?" I asked as I walked over to the desk and picked up the phone. He turned and smiled at me before following me over to the desk.

"Are you sure about this Kai? Wouldn't it be easier if I just walked home?" I stared at him and shook my head. I was actually grateful for this snowstorm, I had been worried about Rei going home since the minute he'd walked in through the door and now I had an excuse for asking him to stay.

"No, dial the number" I watched as he tapped the buttons and waited for the dial tone to start. The dial tone started and now all I was waiting for was someone at the other end to answer. "Do you like to read Rei?"

"Yeah"

"Go and pick out a book, I'll be over in a minute" I studied him as he walked over to the other side of the room. I could tell that the cut on his side was bothering him and made a mental note to take a look at it later.

"Who the fuck is it?" I sighed and rolled my eyes, this man had absolutely no idea that I wanted to rip his throat out or about my feeling for Rei. But I didn't care in the slightest, no matter what this idiot said Rei was staying here until I said otherwise.

"My name is Kai Hiwatari, I'm a friend of Rei's"

"What of it?"

"I just thought I'd phone you and tell you that Rei will be staying with me for a few more days" I heard him growl down the line at what I had said but I didn't care. I knew for a fact that I could take him if he came round here and tried anything on and I certainly wasn't in the mood to be talked to with such disrespect.

"No way, he's coming home now, tell him to get his worthless ass back here now. He needs to be taught a lesson about leaving without my permission"

"And you need to be taught a lesson in manners but I'm not going to go into that now" I glanced over at Rei as he looked through the many titles of books and smiled at him before continuing with my conversation. "There was a snowstorm last night and we are snowed in"

"I'll come and pick him up"

"That would not be wise, the roads are sheet ice, not even the most experienced driver could manage to drive in these conditions and I am under the impression that you are drunk"

"I'll walk round and collect him" I was getting annoyed now, I didn't understand why this man wouldn't let it go but I was loosing my patience with him by the second.

"No, I think it would be safer if he stayed here"

"What does that mean?"

"Hn, he's staying here with me until the storm had subsided, is that clear. I'm not going to repeat myself"

"Haha, sure, just remember to send him home when the storm is over, I miss him, you can tell him I have a special present to give to him when he gets back" he hung up the phone and I couldn't help but growl. I hated that man, more than I hated my grandfather, this man had seriously hurt my precious kitten and I would make him pay for it.

"Kai?" I placed the phone back on the hook before looking up at Rei, he seemed distant and untouchable. I sighed and slumped down into the chair beside the phone, I didn't know what to do anymore. I wasn't sure how I was going to help him all I knew for sure was that I was going to help him. "I'm sorry"

"What for?"

"For getting you involved in all of this" I stared up at him and saw that his eyes were glazed over. He really was sorry for bringing me into this, but I had wanted to be involved. I had forced him to tell me, did he understand that or should I explain it to him?

"Rei, don't ever be sorry, I wanted to be involved. You were hurt and I wanted to help you and I will" he nodded but I could tell that he didn't believe me.

"I've got to go and train" I studied him carefully as he walked over to the door, he stopped when he opened it and just stood there staring out into the hallway. I didn't want to leave him alone, I wanted to go with him.

"There's a bey stadium in the basement, do you want some company" he turned to face me and smiled. With a nod of his head the deal was sealed, "I've just got to get Dranzer and we can go" I walked over to where he was stood and smiled at him.

"I'm going to take you down"

"You wish"

Rei's POV

I stood in the doorway of Kai's bedroom, Kyan had jumped off the bed and was walking towards me searching for attention that no doubt he rarely received from Kai. I watched Kai as he opened his desk draw, he smiled and pulled out the blue blade, I loved blading against Kai, he always managed to make the game new and interesting. You could always count on Kai to change his tactics halfway through a battle and that's what made him so hard to beat. The fact that he could do anything at anytime, lets face it, unless you're psychic your screwed when battling him but I was going to give him everything I had, I was going to prove myself to him.

"Let's go" he stared me up and down before walking out of the room

"Meow?" I laughed at Kyan, he had no idea what was going on, I winked at the small animal before turning and walking off down the corridor. Kai was a good couple of meters away from me and I hated being this far away from him but this meant that I could stare at him without him suspecting anything. He stopped infront of a door and pushed it open. The door slammed shut behind him and I wondered what he was up to, was he going to ambush me? I took Drigger out of my pocket and searched around my bag for my launcher.

"Watch out Kai" I placed Drigger in his launcher and walked over to the door of the basement. I left my bag and coat in the hallway and slipped in through the door that Kai had disappeared through only seconds before. The room was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing. So this is what Kai wanted, I'd have to use my other senses to find out where he was and to beat him. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, there was no point in doing this, the room was dark enough but I had always found that it greatly improved my sense of concentration.

I heard a skid on the floor approximately three feet infront of me. I smiled and held Drigger out at arms length. I tightened my grip on the launcher and tugged on the ripcord sending my blade out into the unknown. This was going to be hard, I was going to have to focus, I would have to try and hear the differences between my blade and Kai's. I took another deep breath and heard my blade make a right turn to avoid an obstacle blocking its path. There was a loud crash as Drigger hit into Dranzer.

I heard Drigger make a left turn as he swerved back towards me but that wasn't all, Dranzer made a left turn and chased after him. I smiled, I knew that it wasn't going to be that easy. There was another crash as Dranzer hit into Drigger, I heard him slow down and started to worry.

"DRIGGER!" I called out to my blade, hoping that it would make him regain balance. He did and made a sharp right turn before crashing into Dranzer and sending the blue blade into the air.

"Dranzer" this was it, Kai was calling out to the phoenix bit beast for help

"Drigger" I did the same and saw the bit chip on my blade shine with a green light before Drigger shot out into the sky and made his presence known. I stared over at Kai's blade, there was a loud screech from the phoenix as it escaped from the blue blade that spun beneath it. The two beasts circled each other spreading light into the dark basement, I watched in awe as they dived and dodged in such synchrony that it was like a dance of some sort. With the new found light in the room I could see Kai, he looked amazing as Dranzers flames reflected on him.

"Dranzer Spin Fire attack!" I switched my gaze from Kai back to the battle. I watched as Dranzer spread her wings (A/N: yes, I refer to Dranzer as a she) and let out a deafening battle cry. This was it, Kai was ready to end this battle and so was I and I would give him everything I had.

"Drigger tiger claw attack!" Digger jumped up and growled as he prepared to launch his attack on the phoenix. The white tiger charged towards the firebird as she swooped down towards him. "Drigger" Dranzer hit into Drigger and he flinched at the impact of the attack. "Drigger!" I called out to him again and he growled in pain, he shook it off and charged at Dranzer, she went to dodge but the tiger was too quick for her and she fell down onto the floor infront of Kai.

"Dranzer" the firebird screeched again as she ascended back into the air, Kai gripped his ripcord and gave Dranzer all the energy he had. I smiled and did the same for Drigger, if this didn't work I didn't think I would have the strength to launch another attack on the phoenix, this was it. I had to prove myself and I would.

"Drigger! Tiger claw attack"

"Dranzer! Spin fire attack" the blades crashed against each other and the bit beasts charged towards each other but each managed to dodge the others attack. Dranzer and Drigger circled each other once again. I decided that enough was enough, this was it, the moment we had both been waiting for. Was I ready for this?

"Drigger! Tiger claw attack!"

"Dranzer! Spin fire attack!" There was a loud screech from Dranzer as she obeyed her master and a low growl from Drigger as he obeyed me. Dranzer flew up into the air and prepared to make an attack on the tiger but he jumped up at her and stopped her from proceeding. She fell to the floor and the blue blade tipped from one side to the other as it desperately tried to regain its balance. "DRANZER!" Kai called out to the phoenix and I watched as it emerged from the rubble, this wasn't over yet. Dranzer dived at Drigger and sent him flying into the wall. I did the same but stayed strong.

"DRIGGER!" The white tiger growled and charged for the bird

"DRANZER!" The phoenix dived forward and met with the tiger in the middle of the room. There was a loud crash and our blades came flying out of the stadium and back into our hands. I sighed and felt myself falling to the floor, I cringed and waiting for the impact as I hit against the cold concrete floor but it never came. I glanced up to see Kai holding onto me, he was panting heavily and I had to wonder how he had gotten here so quickly. "You ok?"

"Yeah, you?" I stared up and him and he nodded at me

"That was one hell of a battle" I saw him stare down at the blue blade that rested in his hands and I looked down at the silver one that lay in mine.

"Maybe we should get Kenny to fix them up before we try that again" I smiled down at the blade, they had both taken a beating in that battle and I half expected for it to crumble away in my hand as I held it tightly in my grasp.

"That would be wise, we're never going to win a battle with such badly damaged blades"

"Yeah and we need to have a rematch"

"Are you trying to tell me that the sun was in your eyes" he smiled at me and looked around the basement. I shook my head and laughed at him

"No, but the phoenix was" he laughed and pushed himself up from the floor, he placed Dranzer in his pocket and offered me his hand. I took it without a second thought and started to think about how that was becoming a tradition. I wished it was, I liked to hold his hand.
