Chapter Two:Blue Dragon Rising:

Takeo slowly rolled over and coughed, his fingers brushing against his cheek lightly. Or wait, was it his cheek? He blinked and looked to his side and there was an unconcious Kai, lying there, his face bright pink from the fever. "Kai-kun!" The younger boy took the edge of his blanket and soaked it with the water from the bottle he'd gotten that night. Carefully he pressed it to the leaders forhead.

Said leader moaned softly in his sleep, shivering at the cool temperature on his hot forhead. Kai blinked his eyes slowly and then growled lightly, pretending to feel threatened. "What're you doing, Kinomiya?"

"You were hot and sweaty and it didn't look to me like you were doing all that well...I wanted to make sure that your temperature goes down, not up!" The dragon re-wet the edge of the blanket and placed it on Kai's forhead once more, casually brushing away strands of stray hair from the boys face.

"I would rather be sick and die then have you take care of me." The pink-purple eyed leader glared at the stormy eyed blader who looked shocked.

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Sourpuss, but aren't you the one that went out to find me? What, was that just because Max made you? Doubtful sinec you don't do anything you really don't want to. Face it, kai! You were worried about me and you went out to search because you thought I might have been hurt or something!"

A slap sound resounded through the room, and a whimper fell from the dragon's lips as he craddled his now pink cheek. The older blader stared stunned at Takeo's face and then his own hand, not quite sure what had really happened.

Suddenly there were tears in Takeo's eyes and he looked at the 17 year old blader, the hurt evident in his watery eyes. His voice was bairly above a whisper as he looked at Kai and said, "I just wanted to make sure you got well. You're such a jerk...I HATE YOU!" He burst into tears then, something that no one had ever seen him do, at least not since his brother, Hiro, had shown up.

The Hiwatari boy sat there stunnded further. "Takeo I..." He raised his hand and placed it ontop of the one that was resting on Takeo's cheek. He looked at the other boy, sorrow apparent in his magenta eyes. "I didn't mean to hit you...I would never hurt you on purpose. You have to understand that it's not in my personallity to be kind or accept help from anyone, not even you or the others." Though he meant this as an appology, the way it came out was more like a harsh warning.

"I'm sure that we all feel the same." Takeo stood and walked to the door, his hand still craddling his cheek. "I'm sorry to disturb you, Ice King. Sleep well and maybe in the morning when you're not such an asshole, we can have a decent conversation." The midnight blue haired boy opened the sliding door and walked out, shutting it behind him. Slowly he walked past the room where Rei sat, watching him with golden eyes that showed his pity for the other. The blonde still lay asleep, and Takeo smiled lightly, brushing away his tears.

"Rei-chan, get some sleep. Tomorrow we're going to practive, Kai or no Kai. We can't fall behind." The dragon grinned and walked on towards his own room. He stood outside it for a moment, then walked in, closing the sliding door behind him. On the floor was his bedroll and pillow. With a yawn he walked over to it and lay himself down, a smile on his face. No matter what, Kai wouldn't make him anymore upset.

"I'm Dragoon's partner...I am a blue dragon rising."

The Next Morning:

"Everyone, up now." Kai felt much better, and he gruddgingly admit that it was mostly because of Takeo's care, not his own will that had done it. When he'd actually woken up, he realized that his fever was just a passing one, and he was fine now. Though, deep down, he still felt bad for hitting Takeo, he didn't want to go and make that point known to the team.

A very messy blonde head of hair appeared under his nose and he blinked. "When did we get a cat...?" Said "cat" made a whiny noise and shoved the two color-haired boy out of the way, muttering about how people didn't have to be nice in the morning, and that it was a blader eat blader world. "...Mizuhara, you look like shit." He recived the finger in responce and he smirked.

Out of the same room came the resident Neko, his hair wrap undone, leaving his raven hair to settle naturally. "'Mornin' Kai. Max is not much of a morning person...I mean, I'm his boyfriend and I don't even get a "good morning" til his third cup of coffee." With a yawn and a stretch the neko-jin stuck his hand out and like lightning rested it against Kai's forhead. "Hmm...feeling better then? That's good. Why don't you go and wake Takeo while I take care of sleeping beauty?" In the distance the two boys heard a muffled, "Fuck you, Rei Kon. See if you get any," to which the neko-jin replied, "I already did."

Leaving the two to their own business, the leader continued his way down the hall. He knocked on Takeo's door and called to the other softly. "Takeo? Hey, are you up yet, you lazy bum?" A noise in the room alerted him to Takeo's conciousness, and he stepped into the room, ready to apoligize the correct way.

"Look, Kai, you didn't have to come in. I am perfectly capab..."

"Shut up, Takeo-chan." Takeo's mouth snapped shut at the honorific. "Look, about last night. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you. Just name it."

"Anything I want then, Kai?"

"...yeah."

"I want you to take me to dinner. Not as a teammate, but as a date." The pheonix's eyes widened. He stared at the dragon as if the boy had grown another head.

"Say what? You want...a date?"

"Yes. Is there a problem with that, Kai? You said anything."

Kai walked forward and squatted in front of Takeo, a glare locked in place on his face. He snarled lightly and grabbed Takeo's face in his hands. He moved his face closer and closer til they were just inches apart. "There is no problem. You just better be all I hope for." With brusing force he fused his lips to Takeo's quickly, thrusting his tongue out and into the others stundded mouth.

Takeo shocked responded seconds later, frantically kissing the older blader back, a moan riped from his lips as one of Kai's hands traveled to his chest, the fingers teasing a nipple there gently. He arched into the touch and pulled his mouth away gasping for air. "St...stop! If we get caught..."

Kai's mouth had latched onto Takeo's neck and he was sucking on it like there was no tomorrow. "Who cares. I want to take you..." He lowered his voice, speaking almost icily to the other. "I want to fuck you hard..."

Takeo let out a loud gasp and then nodded his head. "Yes...yes....but after tonight...we need...ah!...to go and practice!" With amasing strength he pushed Kai away and scuttled out the door, panting and calling, "Later Kai, I promise," as he disappeare.

A/n:That's all for now! Review!
