Mae: Wow! (grins) Ha ha. I never knew this story plot would have such a great amount of feedback. You've all really made me happy so now I'm just fired up and ready to write chapter two of "Don't Touch Him!" (blasts Crystal's bazooka full of streamers) I'd like to apologize though. For chapter one, I was too lazy and tired to do some editing, so excuse the grammatical errors made. I'll finish editing that later…
Thank-you all for those lovely reviews! I'm going to cherish them all! Those words meant a lot to me. (Throws Kai and Rei plushies everywhere) Replying to all these reviews would take up too much space for the story. All the mind-blowing reviews will receive my gratitude later, I just want to get to the chapter right now. So--
Tyson: HA! I'm older than Kai and Rei…which would make me taller and mature! (grins stupidly, standing on a stool to tower over Kai and Rei)
Kai: (glares at him)
Rei and Max: (sweat-drop)
Kai: (angrily kicks the stool Tyson's standing on) Baka.
Tyson: AHHHHH!!!! (falls over and faints)
Rei: KAI! You didn't have to do that.
Max: Tyson…(looks at fallen boy)
Mae: (sweat-drops) Uhhh…
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Beyblade. Never have, never will…but I do own my chocolate bar! No…no wait. Hershey does…darn.
Don't Touch Him!
Chapter Two "Ridiculous Rivalries"The cat boy continued to stir the concoction he had formed in his cooking pot. He bobbed his head softly as he hummed, watching the swirling liquid. The aroma of his cooking was bound to get Takao to stop ranting sooner or later. Preferably sooner. Suddenly from the living room the sounds of, "I bet you can't come up with anything better, hot-shot." startled him. Rei shook his head. He shouldn't have been so surprised to hear his brother from at least thirty-feet away. His sibling did have a rather big mouth after all…
The raven-haired beauty sighed. He knew they should have signed a legal document. Now havoc will ensue, and there's no guarantee that he would be able to cease the battle. The last time, Takao and Kai had both broken the old television in their argument. Kai, always his sly and fit self, had no challenge at all with his out of shape brother…
In anger, Takao had thrown the twenty-seven inch television at his Russian lover with a shrill battle cry of "PERISH, DEMON!" Kyouju had let out a female shriek of terror as the black square shattered to the ground, Kai successfully dodging Takao's bad aim. Max slapped the side of Takao's head to bring back some sanity in him. (Or as sane as Takao can get…)
Unfortunately, that did not work, for Takao just charged again at Kai with the remote control. Once again, Kai simply dodged the navy-haired dolt, waving his scarf around as if he were a Spanish competitor against a bull. "Toro Toro…" Kai had stated, waving his scarf around, obviously bored to death with Takao's petty tactics. Takao charged again, and as Kai dodged, Takao had come face to face with the wall that was behind the Russian.
Rei immediately panicked. Not wanting to see his brother idiotically hurting himself once more, he stepped in front of Kai, and as gently as he could, he beat down his big brother into submission causing Takao to faint, and stopped his rampage.
And that is the story of how the cat beat the bull…
The golden-eyed youth suddenly sweat-dropped, remembering the event that had occurred a few months ago. Rei was able to buy a new television, and had begged Kai to help fix that dent on the wall. (Which was just as big as Takao's head.) Kai was a very good at carpentry and fixing problems here and there around the home. A handy man indeed…
Speaking of the Russian, he just entered the kitchen. The crimson-eyed teenager smirked satisfied as he wrapped his arms around Rei's petite waist, as he rested his chin onto his love's shoulder. Without delay, the younger boy leaned into the familiar warmth of Kai's chest. The cat boy continued to cook, occasionally adding dashes of parsley and other ingredients, as the Russian simply watched, comforted with Rei in his arms.
"HIWATARI! GET BACK HERE SO I CAN KICK YOUR ASS, DAMMIT!!!!"
Both Kai and Rei winced slightly as the irritating voice of Kinomiya Takao pierced their ears and shattering the peace. The Russian rubbed his temple in frustration, "What kind of baka brother do you have?" Rei pouted and replied, "Don't say that about Onii-san, Kai. He may be a bit…clumsy…irritating…and slow sometimes--"
"All the time." The Russian corrected.
"Um…Right." The raven-haired beauty nodded, comically sweat-dropping in agreement. "Well, the point is that he loves me. I'm sure just as much as you love me. Right?" Rei grinned up sheepishly at Kai. The slate-haired boy, smirked as he kissed the top of Rei's head in confirmation. The ebony strands tickled his face, as he inhaled the intoxicating scent of Rei's flowing tresses. The golden orbs shined happily, he contained a small portion of the soup he was stirring into his wooden spoon. He parted his soft lips, as he blew some excess heat off the liquid and the youth turned around to face the Russian holding him.
Rei lifted the spoon to Kai's lips while smiling tenderly, "Care to be my guinea pig?" The Russian parted his mouth, and allowed Rei to pour some of his food. Kai swished the soup around in his mouth, testing the taste, as Rei anxiously watched for approval or ration rejection. Kai closed his eyes and rose his eyebrows, as he continued to swish the soup around.
It was so fun watching Rei nervously waiting for an answer. He was so…fidgety.
The Asian boy laughed softly as he punched Kai on the shoulder playfully, as it dawned to him that the Russian was playing with him. Kai swallowed the soup and stated, "Very tasty. I don't know how you do it." Rei felt complementing blushes rise to his cheeks. Unexpectedly, heavy footsteps pounded on the floor. Kai and Rei shot their glances to the side, already knowing whom it was.
At this moment, Takao was at the kitchen doorway with an exhausted Kyouju clutching onto his leg, and a struggling Max sitting on his back. The navy-haired man had flaming orbs angrily directed at Kai. His nostrils were flaring heatedly, and his teeth were gritted. His hands were curled into fists, as his body shook with rage. He lowered his head to hide his bangs, as he shook more. "Waahh! Takao, CALM DOWN!" Kyouju pleaded as he was shuddering with the force of Takao's shaking.
Rei blinked at the condition of his brother, "…Onii-san?"
Takao glared up eerily at the couple. He rose his fist and straightened his back dangerously. "I…" he began with vigor.
"GAH! Stop being such a rude host." Max yelped as he nearly fell over from Takao's sudden movement.
"Onii-san?!" Rei again questioned, this time a bit panicky.
"I'm…I'm…" Takao shook more violently as he began to form his sentence. Kai stared impassively at him, not really concerned with his condition like Max and Rei were, but nevertheless, he held Rei protectively to comfort the younger boy.
"Come on, Ty-kun. You're what?" Max inquired in a comforting voice. Kyouju looked up with hope, beseeching and praying the reckless sparring between Takao and Kai would end.
"I'm…I'm…I'M REI'S GUINEA PIG! HIWATARI, GO FIND YOUR OWN GUINEA PIGGER BECAUSE I'M THE PIG FOR REI'S NEED OF GUINEA PIGGING!!!!" Takao roared, shaking the entire dojo. His face held a comical angry expression and it looked as though he were going to bite Kai's head off.
Kyouju collapsed to the ground after hearing Takao's statement. "Why me?" he mumbled, pitying himself for having to suffer the Kinomiya and Hiwatari opposition.
These fights were completely ridiculous! Max slapped his forehead at Takao's childish jealousy and over-protectiveness. Why won't he just share his brother….
Rei puffed his cheeks out slightly in annoyance. "Onii-san…you've got to be kidding me." Kai, however, remained indifferent. The Russian narrowed his eyes and rose an eyebrow, "Did whatever you said even make sense?" he inquired.
The navy-haired lad felt his anger rise up as he prepared to pound the living daylights out of Kai, "WHY YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE--"
The blonde chose to intervene the conflict, "Takao!" The angered brother, stopped momentarily to look over his shoulder. He instantly saw Max's disapproving look, and brought his arm down. "Fine…" he replied irritably, crossing his arms and looking over to the side in defeat.
Max peaked over Takao's shoulder and sweat-dropped, "Sorry Rei, we couldn't stop him..eh heh…" The blonde grinned nervously at the younger boy. "He was really ticked off."
Rei looked up at the Russian, "Kaaaaaiii. You promised that you two wouldn't argue." He stated, disappointment lingering in his voice. The Russian avoided staring at the cat boy's golden orbs, fearing he would see the dull sadness exposed. He shrugged and began his explanation, "I did promise. I didn't argue, your idiot for a brother started it all anyway. I was just commenting on him…"
Takao felt his jaw drop once more, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I STARTED THIS?! YOU DID, YOU STUPID RUSSIAN!"At this point, the Japanese male had the urge to stab Hiwatari with a nearby knife. Smoke was coming out of his ears.
Kai glared and tightened his hold around Rei's waist, "Oh why don't you shut the hell up, you T.V. tormentor." He replied harshly with an insult. "I can't believe Rei had to beat the crap out of you just to make you settle down."
Takao marched out of the kitchen for a few moments, making everyone wonder what he was planning. Seconds later, he emerged with Kyouju's laptop in hand. "INSTEAD OF A T.V., HOW ABOUT I USE THIS THING INSTEAD?!" The navy-haired boy bellowed heatedly, lifting the laptop, preparing to throw it. Before Kai, Rei, or Max had any time to react however, the chief shot up and clutched Takao's arm.
"Takao, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! That's DIZZI!" He wailed hopelessly, wondering why did his laptop have to be in this situation. Max rolled his eyes, obviously upset with Takao before he took the laptop out of his hands and returned it to Kyouju. The chief released a sigh of relief as he set himself back down to the ground, holding onto his laptop possessively. Kai and Rei sweat-dropped at this scene. The navy-haired brother mumbled a apology before returning his attention to Kai.
"WELL. I bet he could beat you up, too!" Takao shot back, shaking his fist wildly.
"I'm sure he could, but him being able to bring you down is highly humiliating. Considering you're older…don't you agree?" Kai responded coolly to the elder's comment. All those words he was saying wasn't affecting him the slightest, but making the bull-headed imbecile build up his rage.
"Grrrrrrrrrr…" Takao was once again burning with anger. Before any more insults could be thrown to one another, Rei relieved himself from Kai's grasp (reluctantly for both, I might add) and stepped up to Takao. "Come on Onii-san. Why don't we get you something to eat…"
Takao blinked and looked down to see his little baby brother smiling and offering food. Takao grinned, "YEAH! LET'S BRING ON THE CHICKEN, FOLKS!" he yelled eagerly, running to the dinner table, while waving his arms insanely. Max felt his mouth twitch upwards, laughing breathlessly at Takao's wit. The blonde slowly made his way out of the kitchen, mumbling something about making sure Ty-kun doesn't break anything.
Kai shook his head, watching the navy-haired run out. "Idiot."
Kyouju picked himself from the ground, dusting his clothes off and adjusting his glasses. "I agree with you, Hiwatari-sama. He is so gullible." The short man muttered, while in suit of Max's march.
The raven-haired beauty shook his head laughing softly, as he went over to the dishwasher and pulled out five plates for each person that was currently in the household. The slate-haired boy assisted Rei into preparing the table. He pulled out six pairs of forks and spoons from the drawer next to the fridge, before he found chopsticks that he knew Rei enjoyed to use.
Rei smiled at Kai's aid, as he handed the clay plates to the Russian, who in turn carried them out to the dinner table.
Eventually, all the food and needs were laid out across the rectangular wooden table. The Chinese porcelain teapots and cups were in the center of the wooden structure, serving as both a decoration, and container for their nourishment. Following that, was the soup that had been 'guinea pigged' by Kai Hiwatari. The rice bowls were placed at the side left, while the fish and orange chicken were close to the dipping sauce were to the right. Dumplings were towering as high as a mountain, and the Lo Mien noodles were attracting his gaze.
This was Kinomiya Takao's dream come true . The eldest of the group drooled buckets as one by one these cooked meals were being placed in front of him. "Wow…you really out did yourself, Rei!" Takao commented as his eyes became stars, staring at all these wonderful meals. "THEY SMELL SO GOOODDD!!!!"
Currently, Takao was sitting on one end of the rectangular table, while Kai sat at the other end just to be as far away from each other as possible, but still being able to glaring at one another. Max sat to Takao's right, while Rei sat to Takao's left, and sitting to Kai's right, who was sitting to Max. Kai wanted to sit beside Rei, and Takao sat beside Rei just to make sure that Russian didn't try anything…suggestive. Kyouju went to eat on the couch, muttering something about 'things might get out of hand' and 'for my safety, I choose to be away from those two.'
Rei smiled up at Takao, "Thank-you Onii-san. I'm glad you appreciate it." The Russian didn't like the fact that he was receiving no attention from his koibito whatsoever, so he spoke up. "You always cook great, Rei. I love it no matter what."
Rei grinned happily at Kai, "Aww. Thanks Kai-Koi!" Takao caught on to the game quicker than people could think he could have, so he chose to play along with Kai. "Wait! Rei!" Takao burst out suddenly clutching to Rei's shoulder, "Your food is the greatest! WATCH! I can eat TWO dumplings at ONE time!"
Starting to feel uncertainty, Rei nodded, smiling worriedly. He exchanged glances with Max, who shrugged in return, telling him he had no idea what was going on.
Takao picked up two dumplings, staring at Kai from the corner of his eye, and placed the baked goods in his mouth, swallowing them after chewing.
Kai, starting to feel the challenge, replied, "Ha. Only two? Well, I enjoy Rei's cooking to take four." The Russian glared as he picked four dumplings off the serving plate and onto his own. (carefully picking the smallest ones he could find) And as he promised, he consumed four of Rei's dumplings. The navy-haired sibling narrowed his eyes, "Well, I can eat NINE."
Rei worriedly looked over at Max in confusion. "Nii-san?" Max glanced back at Rei, also having the worried expression written all over his face. "Umm…you guys…"
But it was too late, for the boys were devouring the dumplings like no tomorrow, just to prove to Rei who loved his cooking more. They both ate greedily, scraping off every single dumpling that came into view. The dumpling tower soon became a hill, then simply a small bump in the road. Max and Rei watched in awe as the dumplings began to fade, and to see them stuffed their faces were quite amusing.
Rei leant closer to the table with widened eyes, watching a whole day's worth of cooking disappear in seconds. Max covered his mouth, to hide his laughing. He never saw Rei's boyfriend act like such a pig before…it was very out of character for him.
Kai and Takao were both tied at twenty-four dumplings each…
With one dumpling left lying in front of the table.
The Russian and the Japanese man simultaneously grasped their forks and pierce the dumpling. They both glared at one another, trying to get the dumpling into their mouths. "I…had it…first." Kai declared glaring, while struggling to get the dumpling. "You…did not." Takao replied.
Takao, being the experienced pig, finally managed to get the dumpling out of Kai's grasp, and he munched on the food. "Ha ha ha ha haaa ha." Takao taunted while swallowing the final pieces of his dumpling. "Not too shabby for a first timer, kid, but Kinomiya Takao always wins in the end. Muahaha!" The navy-haired boy smirked as he watched Kai bang his head on the table in defeat, muttering 'I can't believe I lost.' Over and over again. Max began to laugh hysterically, and Rei patted Kai's back in support.
Kai glared at Takao and grumbled, "At least I love Rei more than his cooking, porky. There are things we've done that you can't take back."
Takao felt his eye twitch and felt the need to strangle the boy. Takao lifted his fingers reaching for the Russian boy. His fingers twitched quickly, yearning to take Kai by the throat. To calm his hand down, Takao grasped onto a fork. "YOU MEAN YOU STOLE MY BABY KITTY-CAT'S INNOCENCE?!" He roared as he dug the fork deep into the wooden table.
At this comment, Max ceased his laughter and gawk at Rei, who was blushing madly at his Onii-san's accusation. The blonde boy looked at Rei in question. The golden-orbed feline shook his head hurriedly, defying any intercourse of that nature with Kai. They were too young for heaven's sake!
The Russian rolled his eyes at Takao's stupidity. He was merely speaking of Rei's first kiss with him and such. As much as he'd like to go that far, he needed Rei's assurance, he wasn't just going to jump him. Kai narrowed his eyes and responded sarcastically, "Yeah. So what if I did?"
Unfortunately for all…Takao did not know the meaning of sarcasm.
Uh oh…
Takao suddenly through the fork he was holding towards Kai. "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
To Be Continued…(Smiles) I hope you guys enjoyed this installment, but I really have a bad feeling you're not going to enjoy the fact I made Kai pig out. (shrugs) I really didn't know what to do about it, so please forgive me if you find them a bit out of character. I'm trying to keep them in character as much as I can, but I have this nagging that I made them too drastic or something. I can't believe you guys actually think this is funny. I don't really do a good job at humor, but I'm glad you guys approve of my…amateurness. Oh well.
Anyway, I wanted to update something before the hurricane hits my home. You heard me, HURRICANE. When it comes, the electrical thingies are most likely going to be cut. (Pray for me, onegai?) Review pleeeassse. It always makes me happy, and I can get jump started for writing a new chapter. If I have the right amount, I'll start typing on school days if I have to.
REVIEW PLEASE! I'm starting to feel a bit unsure about things.(And still a bit nervous…) You all are my moral support, I don't continue without you guys.
