Chapter Eleven
He's got the look
The next day started with a fresh morning. At 10 o'clock everybody (also Mariah -_-; ) was up and trained for their coming match tomorrow. The White Tigers watched the Bladebreakers in their doing and gave advice here and there from their experiences they gathered since their last battle against them.
After a while Rei took a rest and joined Lee, sitting next to him on a bench which stood at the Beyblade bowls, crowded with the rest of their team mates.
"You seem very relieved." stated the leader of the White Tigers and watched his team at their teasing with Tyson.
"Is that so?" Lee nodded, smiling at the pouting blue haired. "You spoke with someone about your mission, right?"
=ó.ò= "Lee..."
"No, no, it's okay with me. It's more important that you feel better now ^^" But Rei felt guilty because he didn't tell this to his best friend, He fidgeted with his hands and lowered his head.
"Hey! Cheer up! You were the one who told me not to lose sight of my true aim! If you can't be open up with me, then I wish you someone else with whom you can do this ^-^ *pats Rei's shoulder*" With wet eyes the tiger looked up to Lee, lips were quivering, and in the next second:
"LEE!" he was clinging to the black mane one, embracing him tightly and nearly crashing him to the floor.
Everybody turned their heads to them, wondering what happened. One with crimson eyes couldn't stop leering at them and rounded back, leaving Max at the bowl.
"What happened again to Mr. Sourpuss?" smirked Tyson while he set Kevin right with rubbing his fist over his head.
After three hours with hard training, all of them took a hot bath at the onsen and drank green tea afterwards. They would have enjoyed the quietness if a blond teen didn't freak out because he still hadn't seen his mother.
"Tyson! Why is my mom not yet here?! I called her one hour ago, did I?!"
"Don't know, Maxie." "Mizuhara! Stop acting like a jerk!" shouted Kai annoyed and sipped his tea from a brown ceramic cup.
"Hey, don't grunt at *my* boyfriend, Kai! YOU are acting like a jerk!"
But these words didn't come to the demon's ears, being simply ignored while sipping tea, while Max got red awkwardly.
~~Somewhere else~~
*ringring* "Hello? Oh, hi! How are you? Fine? ... Ah, keep cool! *giggles* ... Of course you can do this! Last time I did it also to yours ^o^ What do you want to do? ... Oh, that will be funny! .. Yeah, see ya! *hangs up*"
~~Back to the others~~
Rei, who was sitting right next to Kenny, ate a big senbei (1) and watched Tyson be upset at Kai, who stayed calm and did nothing but drink.
Suddenly something came into his eyes and he had to rub this disturbing dust particles or whatever it was away. He got a blurry view. He shook his head slightly, getting the attention of the slate haired who was sitting towards him. When he opened his eyes...
"WAAAAAH!"
He screamed like hell, jumped on his feet and rushed out of the room, coming near to wreck the paper door, which he slammed open, and disappeared with a cloud of dust.
Max: oO?
Ty: O.O
Kenny: --²²²
Lee: Ô.o
Mariah: O=O
Kai: ò.o
Ty: What.
Max: Was.
Lee: That?!
*~Rei's POV~*
"God! What have you done to me?!?" I ran as fast as I could away from the others and hid myself in my and Kai's room. Something happened to me and I was NOT pleased at all.
When I opened my eyes I saw Kai almost...naked! Only the table blocked my view to the lower parts *blushes*. I thought I was dreaming but when I also looked around I saw the rest in the same state, only more naked (luckily Mariah wasn't in his field of vision -,-;; ), I couldn't help but cry like a girl and stumbled out of the tea room like an idiot to the toilette for puking.
I turned my gaze down to myself and was startled at myself seeing me also in my buff! Looking up again I saw the room didn't change, which let me conclude, that I only had this ... 'x-ray look' when I see people.
"God! Could YOU explain to me, why?!" But I got no answer. Like always.
What should I do now? I couldn't get out and show myself without seeing their nudity, but I couldn't stay here forever though. "This sucks!"
That God sometimes played pranks on us and it was normal. But being *that* filthy I'd never thought! ==
"Well, can't change it anymore. Willy nilly I have to walk around blindly =^^=; "And so I made a white bandanna appear in my right hand and tied it around my head. Right this moment a knock sounded at the door and I heard Max' sorrowful voice:
"Rei! You okay?" I let him in and fumbled in secure to one of both beds.
"I'm fine, Max."
"Ah, really? And why did you tie something around your eyes? Playing blind-man's-bluff?"
All of a sudden Kai joined us and nearly scared me to death! "Have you ever heard of knocking at the door?!"
"In my own room? No. You still didn't answer my question, Kon." Again this stupid question game. All of a sudden so talkative, Mr. I-question-you-but-I-answer-nothing?" And this sarcastic under tone I hate so much!
I grumbled something for myself, and then had rather said what he could suck, but I'm more one of the calmer temper. Finally I want to try occupying myself with him... No! I didn't mean it that way! I just wanna say, that I…uhm...well...that I...RIGHT...I want to enter to a more intimate friendship! That's it, a more intimate relationship! Uh, NO! Ah, forget it!
But yesterday...on his bed...I still can't believe that I told him one of my most troublesome secrets! And he was by my side and allowed me to hold his hand...
This thought made my blood rush into my head, spawning it into another direction, therewith the two didn't discover this. Yet it seemed to be a mistake, because my bandage was directly taken away from me.
"Hey! What the..?!" I stared right into Kai's red gleaming eyes. "...heck..." And glanced without the intention onto the long trained bare upper part. If I had risked it further on, I maybe had seen too much =@.@=
"UAAAH! Go 'way! =0=! " Ashamed and with a flaming blue head I tossed him aside, snatched my bandage out of his hand and fled again from them. "Just leave me alone!" I cried back and without another word I made off.
*~Normal POV~*
Max and Kai watched Rei vanishing.
O.O
ò.o
At last the demon shrugged and went away followed by the also perplexed Max. In the meanwhile Rei ran down again to the onsen into a room, closed the paper door rapidly and exhaled one time.
"Now in what did I come again..." he sighed and sat plainly onto the rough tatami mats. Towards him there was a door to the men's onsen standing open; a room which was built right at it. Nobody was to be seen which Rei was delighted to. Seeing more naked people he could gladly dispense with it.
"To brood over this doesn't help it and only make me lose my head." That's why he sat with crossed legs, placed his eye bandage (you can never know ^.~ ) and started to meditate. He had done this long time ago. Well, when did he have the time for this? But the comforting stillness and the silent ripple of the spring helped him getting the required atmosphere.
After about one hour he felt well balanced again, have sorted his thoughts and was able finally to survey his momentary situation.
'Till now everything went well aside from the turbulences in hell and in the ghost house, at the gulch...Okay, granted, not everything I've planned went perfect. Besides I still have my charge =^^=; '
A slight noise called his attention, made him listen attentively and more vigilant. He sensed, without flinching, a person, strange but also not. In any case he had a bad feeling with him. When the figure stood beside him, he wanted to throw him onto the mat in drawing his stretched out left leg over the floor. But the stranger evaded adroit and intended to execute the next beat if Rei didn't catch it with his right hand.
~*~*~ "Finally some fight scenes again! Long time ago since the last battle ^o^ " Max: "Really impressing, that Rei is even able to fight with bound eyes! XD " "Oh, there was left something..." Max: ^___^;;; ~*~*~
In time he stood on his feet again and asked himself, why something like that always occurred to him. With an aiming kick at the head he proposed to draw the line, when his opponent didn't block it with effortless ease in raising his forearm.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" it came surely from Rei's lips, his forehead in wrinkles.
"Do you always greet an old friend in that way?" responded the stranger in a purring sound. Rei froze when he heard the unmistakable voice and put his leg down.
"Kaz?!" An uncomfortable emotion seized the neko-jin, made him back carefully.
"Much time has passed away since our last meeting, my angel." Rei perceived the impendence sending out by the bat and he could think by himself, that Kaz didn't come for a gossip. At this thought he got shivers down his spine.
"Why do you my little angel wear this bind? Is it maybe because it got the vista?" The raven haired went stiff anew, hearing the sneering under tone, and frowned hostile.
"Do YOU deal with this bull shit?!"(wow, he can swear ;b ) he snapped at him and menaced him with his fist.
Kaz: No, no, my darling, that was my master *smirks*
Rei: KAI?!?
Kaz: No, stupid, of course the devil in person.
Rei: WHAT?! And why for God's sake *ME* of all people?!
Kaz: Cause God also ventured one time to use his powers at master Kai in the moment when Max was kissing him.
Rei: Right! It was just a *moment*! Not three hours!
Kaz: Yes, but because God generally interfered with this event, my Lord was allowed to take care of you for the whole day ^____^
Rei: That's not fair! =0=
Kaz: Besides he chose you for the reason that...
Rei watched him tensed up.
Kaz: ...that he is grateful to you."
Rei: 'HUUUUUH?!??!?!?'
Kaz: Well, we should deal with the thing, why I visit you.
A swift motion took Rei's eye bandage away and tossed him surprisingly on the floor. Rei landed harshly and got a scratch at his elbow, which immediately began to sting with pain. But he ignored it simply, since there was far worse things to overcome: a lascivious demon!
Smiling manically the older one approached the angel, sitting on the tatami mats like he was nailed to it and staring at the 'naked' man.
"I bet you can see what hides in my pants." smirked Kaz a broad hentai grin, was not a bit ashamed or shy for his wantonness. And to miss *this* you had to have an eye bandage on again.
Disgust came up in Rei's inner self. It had been child's play for him to defend himself if he wasn't kept in check with magical fetters by this sex maniac. Thoroughly one reason to start panicking.
"Get off! Or else...!"
"What else?"
Rei wasn't really credible in this situation, which seemed to be veraciously hopeless. Now he would lose his virginity and consequently any respect from his team leader.
'NO! I don't want this!' He tried with great strenuous effort to free himself, but he got nothing but deep incisions into his forearms due to the thin invisible iron-like strings.
'K...!'
The room's paper door flung open abruptly and a veeery pissed off Kai appeared in the frame. His eyes widened at their sight like at the time in his house, when he watched Kaz attacking Rei. Only this time was different. His hand jerked forward like a snake and as though a violent gust raged through the room, Kaz was thrown into the air and smashed against the opposite wall. A cry of pain echoed through the entire onsen area and drew every attention of any customer. Rei looked up spellbound to Kai, how he stood there with an outstretched out arm, having witnessed the whole thing and forgot unintentionally, that he was 'unclothed'.
Of course Kai was often mad cause of Tyson kidding with him for example, but Rei had never seen him that furious. The flash in his burning orbs, the face muscles strained and in a way distorted; all of this was new for the neko-jin. And he could have sworn that Kai's blue painting in his face flashed up red for a sec.
'Was a hallu for sure.'
Lost in his thoughts he didn't notice someone approaching him and woke up by feeling a hot breath before his face, looked up and found Kai in front of him.
He terrified a bit, but saw in those burgundy pools a little sign of care flickering.
"I'm okay." he assured with a weak voice, veered his view aside.
"And why don't you look properly in my face?" This made Rei look like a tomato again, what his bangs tried to hide in vain.
At this moment behind them Kaz laughed, breathing heavily, since his back hurt infernally. Kai's glance flicked from Rei to his servant and pierced him with hostility that made Rei's self tremble.
"What's so funny, you mite!" he scolded and had rather rushed to him if he hadn't had to stand by Rei.
"Don't you see? Your friend is ashamed *snicker* to be able to look through you." Kai turned back again to ask Rei for it, but the angel did already his bandage before his eyes again. The blood from his wounds trickled down his arms and stained his white arm binds red. He wanted to make off if Kai didn't hold his hand.
"Don't go."
It sounded gentle in Rei's ears and caused him slight goose pimples on his arms.
"How long will this go on?" Kai asked Kaz in a gruffly tone and got a quick answer.
"The Lord said, that his amuse will drag on till tomorrow after the match *smirks* "
"Hn." The captain of the Bladebreakers was again up to his feet and pulled Rei with mild force to him. After this he slowly slipped down the bandage, what of course was a reason for Rei to excite.
"Don't!" He squeezed his eyes together and avoided every eye contact with Kai.
"At the onsen this was no problem for you." the slate haired said nonchalant, totally untypical for this normally reticent guy.
"We had towels on! =.= " Kai had to burst out laughing inwardly about Rei's also untypical repression (oh, oh, OOC... ^^; ), didn't show this though.
"As I can see, my master is enjoying himself very well ^^ " meddled Kaz with this event again and collected two point-blank death glares from either one. In doing so one of them couldn't do this without flushing ^.~
"Fuck off and don't you dare touch a hair on him again!" ordered Kai sharply, turning his hand into a fist.
POF! Yet the demon transformed again in to a bat and fluttered fast out through the open door to the onsen. Although Kaz has vanished, there was still a damning mood in the room.
"Rei, look at me." said Kai in an order tone, but also so gentle as he could while he seized his shoulders. Now it was important for him that the neko-jin got down to this problem and could handle with it. He shouldn't run away from it.
"Kai, please, let me go!"
~~Somewhere else~~
"Max! Don't ya really know, what happened to Rei?"
"I just said it, Ty, that Rei always fled as soon as we approached him. Especially with Kai it was the worst."
"And you think, he wore an eye patch?"
"An eye bandage, Ty ^^;; "
Max squatted down on his bed and sighed audibly, feeling momentary helpless.
"Hey, don't make such a face! If time comes, Kai will be at his side ^___^ "
"Do you mean it? They don't even notice anything!"
"Just like Mariah, that Rei doesn't want her ^^;; "
Tyson sat next to Max and drew near to him a little bit. Quietly he put his hand onto Max' and induced him to turn to him.
"You know, how much you mean to me?"
Max flushed at this question and nodded hesitantly.
"Then both of them will also find it out, to feel the same way." Thus Tyson pulled the blond to himself in grasping his neck in order to be able to do that, for what he'd yearned for a long time: to close the space between them.
Not very brusque, but emphatically the lips of either one met together, both still inexperienced and a bit reserved. This new emotion, which extended like a swarm of bees and tingled, overflowed them like a warm rain shower; all of this was new and exciting.
Slowly they proceed to an embrace, let themselves slide into the other's warmth and clawed into the fabric of their clothes. All the more ardent they interlocked, the more they got into their kiss. Then one of them dared finally with biting the other's lower lip to tease him and to request for a game you couldn't say no.
It seemed, as if they'd known all the time, what their beloved liked and what not, each touch, each caress, the soft stroking out of a strand as the fondling at the neck. This event of the meeting of two hearts was also called destiny.
*~Kai's POV~*
How should I tell him this, that he can't dodge a thing?! Me of all people who isn't a person for big talks. Anyhow I ask myself, why I generally worry about him. Again I butted in an affair, which shouldn't be my business and I can't get rid off the feeling that I will get in more trouble.
"Kai?..." I heard my name called and I jawed back:
"Shut up and come here!" Me and rescue hero, if I only wanted that!
"What?!" I shoved him before me in gripping his neck, and sent telepathically a message to the rest of my team and Lee to betake themselves to the tea room without any delay.
When Rei and I arrived there, Lee was already present and looked at us expectantly.
"Rei, what happened to you?! Why did you run away like a scared chicken?" Not very fitting for Rei, but nevertheless hitting the nail on the head.
Next to me Rei fidgeted with his hands, gave evidence for nervousness, at it seemed he'd hunched, what I intended to do. And he had likely made off again, if I didn't grab his upper arm.
'Kai! Please, I can't do it!' he implored to me and wanted to tear himself away, but my grip stayed iron.
"Don't always decamp! It gets on my nerves!" hissed I annoyed and noticed Lee's impatient look. "You'll get your answer as soon as the others are here."
Sometimes I really ask myself, how I could endure them till now. I'm playing babysitter here and now I also have the honour to face the music, when my Lord got into trouble.
"Sorry, it couldn't be faster!" Tyson stamped into the room, pretty red in his face. Apparently he and Max, who stood right behind him, were busy with something. Ts.
"Okay, just prick up your ears: Until tomorrow Rei will see you naked, anyway, if you have clothes on or not. Put up with it or give him a wide berth until afternoon. I don't care a damn about your decision or what you will do. There are no explanations."
*~Normal POV~*
Wham, so easy! Without beating about the bush!
While Kenny was entering and sawing the perplex looking couple, Lee smiled amused and said to Kai:
"Don't glare at me that way. *I* don't have a problem with this, cause Rei and I used to take a bath together. Considering this we know each other sure enough ^.~ " The slate haired couldn't suppress a leer at Lee, but he thought it was good, that he could accept it so plainly. Not like a certain thick-head.
"What are you now planning, Kai?! Without a reason you ordered us simply something, which doesn't make sense at all! I'm not against this, but..."
"Good, then this subject is clarified." ended Kai this discussion and disappeared out of the room for a while.
"KAI! Come back, you idiot!" But the phoenix kept away from them.
"I don't get this iceberg! Rei! You explain me, what he has talked about!"
And so the tiger told about Kaz, attacking him and nearly...you know ^^;
"So you're alright? ó.ò "asked Max and pointed at the not quite healed cuts on Rei's arms.
"Ah this! You know very well, Max, that this doesn't last for long =^.^= " 'I'm more worried about Kai...'
Rei's head couldn't let off the thought, the picture, which he still had before his eyes, when Kai (in his way) had outburst. He wasn't able to lose the feeling, that he won't see this for the last time.
~~By evening~~
All of them sat together on the floor in the tea room and ate rice with less fish and pickles. Therefore a meager meal (Lee went back to his team). As the whole gang was sitting at the table, Rei didn't have to see them completely naked ^^;
"Moa~~~h, why do we get such flea portions?! This won't last till midnight snack at all! . " complained a sullen dragon and gnawed the rest of a fish-bone.
"Unfortunately it will have to keep us, Ty, because an important tourist party has arrived in our hotel, keeping the cooking staff on the run. But later we can go for a bite if necessary ^^;; "
"YEY! Then I wanna be at my favourite fast food restaurant! o "
"To become fatter?" Kai interjected one of his typical remarks and ate further, as though nothing has happened.
"I'M NOT FAT, just full-figured! Hmph!" Tyson went on with chewing sulkily at his fish head and rather have another debate, if Max hadn't prohibited it with a negative glare, since his mother, who had come too late for 5 hours, soon appeared at their place. And Max didn't want to leave her such an impression of Tyson ^^;;; For all that he was looking forward to their reunion, visible at his happy looking eyes ^.^
FLUP! "Oh!" With joy his vegetable glided away from his sticks and rolled under the table. Rei, who was now used to their bareness, even though it wasn't easy for him at the beginning, only said: "Let me do this, I'll pick up this for you! =^^= " He was properly the only one to get it, cause he was the only one with space behind him (the others had a paper wall behind, which they'd got torn ^^;; ) and was able to crawl under the low table. Right on the other sides there were in typical squat style, you can imagine, Kai and right beside him Kenny. Of course he couldn't miss it, that their 'free' legs were also to be seen and especially one thing caught his eyes.
'Oh, Kenny shaves himself there =o.o= '
One demon had nearly swallowed the wrong way and spat out his food. 'Bashfulness away and yet so imperturbable!'
When Rei came up from the table, you could discover a light hue of red on his cheeks. He dared within a hair's breadth to squint to Kai, but as you can see, not his entire bashfulness was gave up ^____^
"Max?"
Suddenly a woman stood at the room door and smiled to our blond. Without further ado Rei turned away and tried, not to be very conspicuous. That wasn't the right moment to see a naked woman .
"MOOOOOM!!!! o°0°o " In addition to this Max' mother ^^;; Immediately the turtle jumped up, ran to her and threw himself frolicsome in her arms.
"Why did it take so long?!"
"I'm sorry, my son, but I had to work hard with my team."
"You've got a TEAM?!" Max knew that his mom was responsible for the Beyblade research, but that she led a team at the same time too, that was new to him.
"Yes, I train the AllStarz ^.^ "
Every mouth stood open, Kai's excluded.
"You...you work for our rivals?!" stuttered Kenny and noted this in his laptop without waiting any longer.
"Yes ^-^ " responded Max' mother "and I expect very much from my Maxie *cuddles*." Max stood rooted to the ground and looked astonished. His mother coach of a Beyblade team? Kinda cool.
"Come on, Mom! I show you Tyson's and my room! XD " Yet the blond boy dragged his mother away from his comrades and silence put up again.
"Phew, that would have been very awkward for me, if I had seen Max' mother without any clothes =^^=; "
"Hn." Tyson watched longing after his friend and couldn't decide easily, if he should pass supper and go after them or if he rather went on with eating (e~~~to... _; ). Then he put down his bowl without saying something and followed Max.
"Who had imagined, that there's something, Tyson more prefers than food =^.^= "
"Ts." Kenny didn't listen at all, cause he plugged in his laptop a headset, becoming absorbed in his work.
"Well *also put down* I will go out and stretch my legs =^o^= " The neko-jin stood up and walked to the paper door, which Tyson left open, when Mariah leapt against him, crashing him to the ground and landed on him. "MEOW!"
Kai: *death gla~~~re*
"REIIII! XD Since you ran out of the room crying, I wasn't able to stand still one minute and was worried about you! *megacuddle* But now, as I can see, that you're alright, I won't move one millimeter from you!!! 0 " But Rei didn't add anything to this, just staring at her aghast. "Rei?"
"I..II.IIIIIIIHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
Already the second time the raven haired cried blue murder and justly. Like a maniac he knocked her off from him, came to his feet and passed Lee, Kevin and Gary, who wanted to visit them.
"REI! Where are you going?!" The pink haired girl watched after him flabbergasted and had no clue, why Rei got that excited.
Lee to Kai: "I thought you met before at the Onsen?"
"We had towels on there." said Kai casually, finished his meal and made his way out. Staying with this thing in one room was in a way unbearable and burdening for him.
~~In the hotel room~~
"Oh God, if I can't endure Mariah's sight at all...HOW CAN I SURVIVE THE MATCH WITH ALL THE PEOPLE?!?!?" Rei had reached one of his downs and this time he couldn't defend himself against it.
He went out on the terrace, which was built directly at their room, pulled off his shoes and walked bare-footed over the cool wooden floor. A fresh breeze, which mixed up with warm air here and there, rushed through his hair and reminded him of the night, he stepped on the balcony and freed his burden. And this time it wasn't different.
He unbuttoned his shirt and let it slide down his arms, which then hang loosen at his hip, since his red belt fixed it upwards. Yet his wings in the compact version were to be seen, twitching slightly due to the unusual liberty.
The door to the room opened and a not very good-humored Kai entered.
"This chicken head should care better for other things." He mumbled and observed the open door to the terrace.
'Hm?' When he came near, he discovered Rei standing outside, how his head faced the crescent and his hair waved to the side. Then out of the sudden he was surprised by great white wings, unfolding from the smaller one and filling the air again with the fragrance of rape-seed. In the moonlight every feather, which separated from their origin, seemed to shine whiter and purer, that it dazzled him. Kai couldn't disentangle himself from this sight; it was so captivating.
There was just one word, which could describe this.
"Beautiful."
The angel span around with shock, more feathers flew upwards, and met the demon's red flashing eyes, in which the white of his wings was reflected.
But now Kai noticed that he had said his thought aloud, turning his back around fast to Rei and left him alone on the terrace.
"Kai..."
~~The next day~~
"No! I will not go!"
"But Rei! You have to join with us at it! Otherwise we're stuck without you!"
"You think so?! And we aren't stuck, if I'm distracted by the public and someone else, cause...*swears silently*" *thunder* "Yeah, yeah."
The slate haired leant against a wall aside from the quarrelers and followed their conversation. Some time he had enough of this and got off his position to make a bee-line for Rei.
"Now listen to me, Kon. I don't give a damn about what you see around yourself at the match! You shall fix your eyes on your blade and that of your opponent's, no where else! Do you savvy this with your sparrow brain?"
Kai was in a foul temper like always. And for once it came across with Rei, who was allowed to feel his wrath. First he looked offended to the side, but he recognized, that Kai was right with what he'd said.
"O..okay."
Besides he knew well, that Kai didn't always mean the things he said.
Kai: Hn. Before we go to the tournament, we make a final training.
Ty: Uh nooo. Couldn't we get another breakfast instead of this?
Kai: OUT!
Ty: Woah! Okay, okay! .
Max: ^^;;;
Rei: =^.^=;;
~~Later at the beystadium~~
The bustle was great and noisy. Many excited kids and also adults visited this event just to see, how their team fell in against the one from Japan. But not only American fans were represented, also from Europe and Australia were coming in crowds, cause the AllStarz were one of the strongest and most famous teams.
But Rei didn't mind this. He tried incessantly to dodge the people, not to stare at them, which wasn't absolutely easy.
Unexpected Kai came next to him, took his hand and went forward, passing different Beyblade-teams and fans, which had nothing better to do than to scream after their favourites and to swoon.
"You're too lame! If we go on like this, we reach the dressing-room the day after tomorrow." grumbled the phoenix and dragged Rei further through the crowd, followed by Max and Tyson, who walked hand in hand too, therewith they wouldn't get lost in this gang. ^.~ With this the neko-jin could calmly close his eyes without running into danger and come into someone's privacy.
While Kenny admonished Max and Tyson again for the later battle to pay attention on their concentration and so on, Rei prepared for the worst event: An entire hall full of naked people. He wasn't still quite sure of this situation and he knew that he couldn't dodge this. Which Kai made him clear.
"It makes me glad to see your effort for the game! ^^ "
"Mr. Dickenson!"
"If you've got over this championship, you will have free time until the next one in Russia."
"YEAH! Then we can relax finally ^.^ "
"What you always do, Kinomiya."
"Shut your damn mouth, Mr. Sourpuss!"
~~In the stadium~~
*~Rei's POV~*
Oh my God, oh my God, OH MY GOD!!! Just nude people! I think I'm getting sick =~.~= Concentrate only on your game. Pah! Easier to say than to do! He doesn't have to suffer this though, what I must stand. Luckily it's over after the match. That means: Ticking off the opponent as fast as possible!
"Are you sleeping, Kon, or whatsoever?" came a gruffly voice from the side and I stared at Kai with a glare.
'Don't go on my nerves, Kai! It's hard enough to adjust me mentally!'
And you shall say to yourself, if you're excited, to imagine a naked public before you! Who has invented such crap?!
Oh! It's my turn! Let's fight. *sighs* I don't want to do this =T_T=
My rival Michael stood in front of me, tall and smiling such a dumb grin. It wasn't easy for me to focus my eyes only on the upper half of his body much less at the bladers of his team in the back. 'Oh no! There's Max' mother too!!'
I squeezed my eyes shut to not look to their direction, but how should I oversee the game else?!
"REIIII!" Behind me I heard Max calling me.
"Open your eyes! It's okay!" Ah, really? "Just imagine, she's your mother!"
Par...don?
I trembled at these words, split my eyes open. I burned with passion!
'For my mother!'
But it turned out, that I didn't have a simple game, and then I was always distracted. For what reason?
"Damn, Kon! Concentrate on the game!" Kai cried to me in rage.
"What do you think, I'm doing here the whole time?!? Dancing ballet?!?!" I pressed between my clenching teeth and strengthened my grip of my rip cord. Everybody could see that Michael made fun of me, playing with me like a cat with a helpless mouse.
"REI! If you can't master your weakness, use it!"
What, use?! What trash was Kai talking about?!? I frowned intensely und had to look after my blade in order to lose it with kicking out of the tableau.
Wait...did he call me by my name?!
'Yoshi! Let us *use* this skill =ò.o= ' By stealth I looked to Michael, scrutinizing him closely. Perhaps I would find some deficit.
'Bingo! =^_____^='
*~Normal POV~*
"Hey Michael! Say, do you have some moles? =^^= "
Everyone gaped at Rei like twats and thought, if this boy has gone nuts.
"Rei! What's this?! Did you get fever or what?!?" shouted Tyson perplex and angry.
"You're in a battle! So you can't busy yourself with such nonsensical stuff!!! 0! "
But the angel neither heard Tyson nor the murmur, which went through the audience.
Michael: Why this question? You are not really in the position to pose something like that *fg*
Rei: I'm asking again. Do you have any moles? Or let me say, at a certain spot? =^^=
Forfeiture in the stadium.
Mi: *gets nervous* WHO IS INTERESTED IN THAT CRAP!! Pay attention to your blade, how it will be kicked out soon!
Rei: Driger! Now!
Out of the blue sky the blade span faster, crashed against the yellow one of Michael and managed it finally to kick it out.
"Aaaaaand the winner is: REIIII!" brawled DJ in his microphone and the crowd raged with enthusiasm, that the benches under them might of breaked.
Exhausted Rei went back to his team mates and took place next to Kai, who sat there like always with crossed arms and closed eyes.
Rei: 'You know that this is called cheating?'
Kai: To intimidate someone is a normal tactic of a beyblader.
Rei: *snickers*
Kai: So, where was the mole?
Rei: 'Oh, since when are we so interested?'
Kai: Ts. Then shut up.
Ty: About what are you chatting stealthy again? Max is much more important ò____o
Rei: We do know that he will win this! =^o^=
Ty: Hmph! n Besides Rei...
Rei: Hm?
Ty: How did you do that? Get Michael to lose his concentration?!
Rei: Oh, just a lucky chance! =^^= 'Kai?'
Kai: What.
Rei: 'It was at Michael's *beeeeeep*' =^____^=
The demon turned his head immediately to the side for hiding his reddening cheeks.
Rei: Oh, how cute! That's a rare thing to see! XD
Ty: What's rare?
Kai: FACE THE FRONT!
Ty: *grumbles*
Rei: I didn't know, that our 'iceberg' can be so shy =^.~=
Kai: My fist will show you soon, how shy I am!
Rei looked down at Kai till his eyes fixed one certain spot *fg*
Kai crossed instantly his legs and stared at the tiger.
Kai: What crap are you doing?! *blushes around the tip of his nose*
Rei: Do you still know, what Kaz told you? =^^=
Kai thought over this shortly. '...his amuse will drag on till tomorrow after the match...'
'Wait...*after the match*...Does it mean..!'
Not even Tyson could put Kai's monkey up ^^;; As though Rei felt it, he jumped up, said to Tyson to have an eye on Max, and disappeared out of the arena as fast as he could, followed by a not so happy looking demon.
"Come back *right away*, Kon! I will pluck out every single feather from you!"
"You don't think, that I'll turn back! ;b " (Awfully OOC, but so droll, the two of them X3 )
Suddenly Rei remained standing and let Kai bang into him. The other one knew without a second thought, that something was wrong and kept ready to take charge of him. Also if he wasn't pleased with this (Well, well...^.~ )
"What happened?" he asked briefly and looked over Rei's shoulder. But the neko-jin stretched out his arm and let a white sparrow fly on his hand.
"Hello Jun." he greeted monotonously and received the small letter, which was in its beak. Kai didn't miss it, that Rei behaved very strange and watched him, how he opened the letter and read the less lines.
"I shall go back to heaven."

A/N: My god, if I see this, that it took over one month to write this chappie .;; And I think, it's boring and so crappy. But this will change in the next chapter, cause I've prescribed it a bit at another time. I just say "pink clouds"! X3 And it will be much longer than this here ^^;;
If you're pleased for all that, what I doubt, then write me a review! XD
Byeee ^o^°
