o.o -.- O.O !!!!!. You're kidding me, right! Twelve reviews on the first chapter? It really makes me happy! As requested here is the second chapter. I'm afraid I won't be able to post more than 3 or 4 cappies before Christmas vacation, since I don't have Internet at home. Thanks to my reviewers:
UlTiMaTe KaI LuVa: Of course I'll write more! Thanks!
darkness-fire-tiger: .
Galy: I like Kai/Rei romance as well! Update comes here.
cyndaquil-babe: Intro?… well, you're right. It was a bit short to be a chapter. Don't worry, I'll continue.
Yoko-obssessor: Was it really that great? (jumps up and down, smiling)
Avalon Hunter: Yeah, he is really cute when lusting over Rei. Glad you liked it. I actually write a lot, but no one is into Beyblade in Sweden (especially not yaoi) so no one reads it. Having people reviewing it inspires and encourage me a lot. Of course, how totally stupid of me not to think of it…now, I totally accepts anonymous reviews! Thanks.
Reis1gurl: maybe Rei helps him a little . .you'll see!
Anything-bt-ordinary: Sure thing!
fire vixon: Update requested! Update come!
Mya Ino: Yeah. The diary thing was one of my better ideas. And you're right! Love is bitter-sweet!
Tears from heaven: Don't go crazy! Even if I love crazy people, I don't want to be the cause. .
Autumnburn: I won't keep you waiting, here is the second chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade at all!!!

:::chapter 2:::
::Secrets of the past::
"wow, that was strange." Rei thought as Kai disappeared. " I can't believe he excepted the offer… after all, I only asked to be polite."
"beep…beep…click, Good evening?"
"Yes, good evening. Have I reached the room service?"
"Yes, sir. Can we do anything for you?"
"Hai, I would like to have some vanilla-, banana- and melon flavoured ice-cream, a box of dark chocolate, strawberries, a few crackers and…um…red grapes?"
"…yes, anything else?" the voice said sounding kind of amused at the order.
"Mmmm……yeah, do you think you could send a bottle of champagne as well?"
"Aha, Are you lucky tonight sir?" Rei blushed at the comment. he didn't really know what to answer. Yeah, maybe he was lucky… but not in the way the man was referring to.
"Well, actually…"
"Sir. If I may. I'd give her flowers…maybe red roses?"
Roses? Ok, so they would certainly fit with the rest of the Khaki walled room. But, Hiwatari would flush if he found red flowers. smirk just to se his reaction would be worth it. And besides, he loved flowers. He could buy some for himself.
"Ok then. Send red roses to"
"Yes, of course. Your order will be ready in no time, sir. Good luck"

"…Thanks, I guess" The neko hung up. He let his gaze run through the hotel room. it was very classic with dark colours ( the walls not included). Midnight-purple curtains framed the huge windows. They were really heavy and reached all the way down to the parquet. On the parquet laid a large thick carpet. The couch was black leather and had been placed right in front of the fire place. It was literary a furniture store, many bookshelves, antique tables and a big crystal lamp in the ceiling. This room, Rei Kon shared with the rest of team Japan; Tyson Kinomiya, Max Mizuhara, Kai Hiwatari and Kenny ( Chief). Just as the rest of the ranked beyblade teams, they were on Christmas vacation sponsored by the 'BBF'- Beyblade battle association. All of the teams stayed at the same hotel, and this evening… they were throwing a party on the first floor.
Rei sighed. "Now, what should I do?" he thought to himself. "Why did I turn their offer down? I bet they're having a great time downstairs… so why didn't I follow. I'd rather stay up here with 'sourpuss'?!" Rei sat down on the shiny blank couch. He tried to stroke away the tresses of his bangs from his face, with little success. He growled as he repeated the action over and over again.
"Argh… fuck!" he angrily hissed
"You could wear it in a plait, you know?!"
"Yeah, maybe I could. But I ca…?!!" The tiger stopped there, staring at the scene played before him. Kai's usually 'spiky' hair were stuck around his head. It was a little darker as well, caused by the wetness. Rills of water made their way down Kai's muscular body, making it shine… maybe even twinkle in the light of the fire place. The phoenix wore nothing but a small white hotel towel round his waist. He was drop dead beautiful.
Rei could feel his heart beat faster when the teen walked across the room to his closet. You could clearly discern the perfectly ripped muscles moving under his pale, yet toned, skin. The tiger shook his head and came out of his trance.
"I can't make a plait by myself." Rei sighed and looked away
"You can't? But what about that cloth thing then?"
"That I've done as long as I can remember… but I've never even tried making a plait of it." Rei replied, sounding ashamed.
Kai took out a black sleeveless silky shirt which he put on. He also pulled on a black pair of boxers which Rei recognised to be the ones Max gave him on his birthday last spring. He chuckled to himself. After the really pissed shape Kai had ended that day in, he never thought that Kai would use them. The Russian ran his hand through his blue hair, making it look a little more wild in the process.
"You want me to do it?" He asked monotonously, not giving the other teen a look. Rei rose his eyes rather surprised at the offer.
"……Well, if you want to I would be really happy" he answered, tilting his head to the side. Kai sighed deeply. He opened the closet again and took a white bind from his read bathrobe. He then went to sit beside the boy he loved so much. But instead of doing what he really wanted, he turned to him.
"Turn around." he commanded. Rei did as he was told without any protests and felt Kai's hands begin the process. Kai was surprisingly gentle. He let his hands caress the black hair to make it sleek. Rei closed his eyes and let himself enjoy the moment.
Kai couldn't believe he was doing this. He was so close to him, yet felt like he never had been so far away. He listened to the quiet purring sounds escaping Rei's throat. He had always wondered how the neko-jin did that. He gave a weak smile, at least Rei didn't hate it then. With great dexterity, the phoenix wrapped the lower part of the plait into a tight rosette.
"There, all done." He informed. Rei rose his hand and let it travel down the thick jet-black braid. It was perfectly done, not any tresses were hanging out.
"How did you know how to do this?" the neko asked, impressed with Kai's work. Kai didn't answer. He promptly stood up and walked over to one of the windows, not making any sound. It stayed silent for a few more minutes. Rei opened his mouth to speak when Kai interrupted him.
"It was my…" he hesitated "my girlfriend." The tiger widened his eyes as Kai continued." Her hair was the darkest shade of purple I've ever seen and always held in a braid." Rei walked over to his comrade and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"What happened?" he asked quietly. Kai chuckled dryly.
"I dumped her." When he saw the questioning look Rei was giving him, he added. "Not a big deal really. I was out walking one night two years ago. It was as cold outside as it is now, but it wasn't snowing." he got lost in his memories and continued. " I've always liked the winter. Makes it feel like home. In Russia it snows almost constantly… as I remember it anyway. I had been downtown, buying new parts to my beyblade. I turned round a corner, and there she was. She wore the white winter coat I bought her for Christmas and the Black shoes that Tala gave her." he paused, lost in thoughts. "you know, after our victory in Russia the year our team met, I moved back home. The Demolition boys had dumped Boris and continued to be a team by themselves. We, Tala and me, became close friends." it was a little explanation for Tala to give Kai's girlfriend a gift. "Anyway, she was walking there, kissing and holding hands with this other guy. I didn't want to believe it at first, but it was all true. I remember running to them and hit the guy, telling Cora to never come near me again. She didn't talk me back… no, instead she turned to the guy I've just broken the nose on and helped him." Kai smiled. "It's strange really. This didn't bother me at all. Now I know I wasn't in love with her, so she didn't break my heart. I actually feel much better now then I did when we dated." the phoenix looked at Rei with sincere eyes. The Neko nodded in reply and removed his hand from Kai's shoulder. Both jumped when, a second later, the doorbell rang.
"Ok, that would be the service then." Rei beamed towards Kai who nodded. The Neko started went to open. "What took them so long?" he murmured to himself.
"Why the heck did I tell him all that? I'm supposed to be this cold, sadistic bastard. What is he gonna think of me now?! I must be more careful. Honestly, I don't think it ever occurred to him that I've had a girlfriend." Kai was rather angry with himself and silently slapped his forehead.
"Why did he tell me all that? It's not like him to reveal so much of himself" Rei sighed and opened the door, then gasped. It was the food…in a stunning composition. In the middle of the ivory white table stood a lavender coloured vase full of dark crimson roses. The three coloured ice cream were lying in a elegant black bowl. The crackers also laid in a black bowl and they had been decorated with fresh blueberries and raspberries. The ordered grapes were lying on a golden plate along with the scarlet strawberries and sun coloured peaches and the chocolate.
"Good evening, sir" the man smiled. "your order?"
"Yes, thank you" Rei stuttered, a little surprised at all the time it must have taken to prepare this.
The older man smiled at the Neko's expression. "My boss told me you had company and that I should make it look presentable" he beamed.
"You sure did, It looks gorgeous!"
The man proudly smiled. "You want me to bring it inside, sir?"
"Uhm…Yeah, I mean…Yes, please." Rei moved enough for the man to enter. He noticed the bottle of champagne behind the flowers. I was pink liquid inside it. "pink champagne? Can we really afford that?" the tiger thought a little worried. "…Excuse me, there's a lot of things here I don't remember I ordered…"
"Yes, sir. Don't worry. It's on the house." When reaching the bigger room, the man stopped which resulted in Rei almost fall over him. The man's eyes were a little widened. Soon enough, Rei realised he had spotted Kai. A light shade of red came over his cheeks. "Oh, no. He thinks I have a date with Kai" the neko-jin felt embarest at the scene. Kai glared at the servant.
"What?" the Russian said dangerously low.
"Nothing, sir" the man smiled, finally coming out of his thoughts. "I'm here with your order."
Kai cracked an eyebrow, looking the table over. He gave Rei a strange look before walking over to the couch. Rei pulled himself together.
"Thanks, that would be all then" he smiled to the man who nodded and turned around. The bluenet sighed.
"Rei…"
"What?"
"…Tip"
Rei groaned and ran after the servant. He handed over some money which, apparently, made the man very happy. Just as the tiger were about to close the door, the man turned towards him, grinning mischievously.
"I would be very satisfied if I were you, sir. That guy is really hot!" With that, he left.
Rei just stood there, his face as red it could ever get. "Hot?" he thought to himself.
"Are you coming, or not?" the voice from inside asked sounding uninterested. Rei closed the door and went back inside to accompany the 'hot' guy who was his roommate.
