Kitten: unconscious X.x…
Kai & Rei: OO… err… Yuri, I think we need your help in here.
Yuri: enters the room, audience applauses what do you two need with me?
Kai & Rei: points to the unconscious authoress who was so over-whelmed with the reviews she got for her last chapter that she fainted
Yuri: aww… poor Ki-Chan. leans down and kisses Kitten on the lips
Kitten: blinks back into the land of consciousness, sees Yuri, eyes go wide and screams
Yuri: am I that disgusting? tears well up in his eyes
Kai & Rei: … err… ask Kitten! She's the one who screamed!
Kitten: NO! Of course not, Yu-Kun! You surprised me, that's all…. Okay… wow, can you believe it? It's the third, count 'em, third chapter of my first story You deserve better and I never thought in a million years that I'd get so many reviews! Thanks so much, you guys! Your reviews are so encouraging and I love you all for it because I seriously had my doubts about this story and my skills as an authoress, but your reviews have most definitely proven me wrong that I suck at writing. At least, I hope so…. Well, let's get on with this. First, responses to my fabulous reviews and reviewers:
Platinum Rei: blushes aww… your compliments are greatly appreciated! I'm really glad you like this!
Forfirith-on-a-sugar-high: blushes aww, thanks so much! Here's your update, enjoy! smiles
crazy nek0-JIN: yes, poor Rei indeed. I admit that I almost cried when I wrote the last chapter because I was causing Rei so much pain. My poor baby hugs Rei Glad you like the flashbacks! I think the intention was clear behind them (the flashbacks). As for Rei figuring it out like snaps that, yep, he was tired of moping around like he was and realized that it was Kai's fault, I'm glad you got it. Oh, and don't count on them meeting just yet… I won't let that happen so soon or else the story would come to a very abrupt ending. You'll just have to wait a couple more chapters for them to finally meet up.
Prozacfairy: aww, don't cry! It's not going to turn out bad, I promise! Kai and Rei will have a happy ending, I guarantee it. Can't say the same for Kilana and Yuri though… Oops… I sorta gave away the ending there… Forget I said that. smiles sheepishly
Lao Rei Fan: oops, sorry if it was confusing… I didn't mean for it to happen. Thanks for the compliment! Here's the update! Hope you like it smiles
GemGemJoo: blushes aww… thanks a lot! I'm really happy you think that my story is one of the better ones! It's definitely encouraged me further. Here's an update just for you! smiles
Alexzandra Breeze: blushes aww… you make me sound so professional. Thank you so much for your encouraging words and wonderful compliments! Your review made my day… just… made my day. I'm amazed at the fact that this has got you so addicted! I honestly would never have thought and actually didn't think that that would happen. Words can't describe how nice it was to get a review like yours and your review has just really strengthened my confidence in my own writing skills and really encouraged me to continue with this, so all the readers really must thank you (and everyone else as well) for giving me so much confidence! Thanks again!
Midnight Silver Dragon: thanks for the compliment! If you like Rei being psycho killer, you'll probably like this chapter as well. Kilana taps into her fighting feline spirit in this chapter…
Jedi Princess Clarrisani: As this is my first try at an actual story I'm entitled to some mistakes, aren't I? =P lol. Can't blame you for pointing out my staggering, I hate it when I make mistakes. But then, I'm not experienced enough to know how to change them so… don't know what to do there. Help? LOL. Well, so I've intrigued you enough to have you follow along. That's a good thing isn't it? Simply for the fact of knowing what happens? Should I take that as a compliment or an insult? I don't know… well, here's the next part, hope you like it and let's hope that I didn't stagger again. But if I did, hope I recovered it smoothly. And leave JPC's toothpaste along, Kevin Ki!
didispeedy: err… I did alright on my exams I guess, haha… thanks for asking. Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you enjoy this. As to either Rei and Kai meeting or Rei beating Kai up… neither. Having them meet up so early would make the story real short, and no one wants that now do they? Well, hope you enjoy! smiles
Tai-writer: I guess you could call Kai a bad boy, but it's not like he didn't want to realize Rei was more important. It's just that his mind was clouded with an obsession, that's all. As for Rei getting answers and kicking Kai-butt, not going to happen. It would make the story too short, like I said before and no one really wants that, do they? And sorry for making Kai seem so bad, but I promise you'll have a different view of him after what happens here. Thanks for your compliment! It's greatly appreciated smiles. Hope you like the update.
Summary: see chapter 1
Pairings: Kai x Rei, Yuri x OC & Takao x Max
Warnings: a bit OOC. PG-13 for fluff, course language and sexual innuendo/implications.
This chapter: fight scenes (mildly violent), mild lime between Yuri and Kilana (I'VE WARNED YOU), and one sided Bryan x Kilana (I'll explain why later). The fight scenes (as well as the lime) might be a bit crappy because I can't write fight scenes (or lime) to be honest. I have tried my best though…. And this time, Kai being miserable & depressed and even breaking down in front of someone. Joy, no? Kai: NO! Kitten: quiet, this is my story. Kai: T-T
Disclaimer: must you remind me that I do not own Beyblade? Honestly, I get it every time I see the copyright when I watch the show! Beyblade belongs to Takao Aiko! Sheesh… it's so sad that I don't own it.
Kitten: I hope I finished everything… if not, I'll do it later. Now… back to the abbey with the Demolition Boys and Kai…
Notes: "talking", italics = thinking in POV, 'thinking in non POV', {telepathic messages}

You deserve better: III
The same night at Balcov Abbey, in the Demolition Boys training room…
"Uhgn!"
Yuri and Bryan watched with wide eyes as they watched the raven-haired co-captain of the Demolition Boys, who's half the size of Spencer who she's fighting by the way, flip the elder teen flat on his back with absolutely no trouble, resounding in a loud "WHUMP!" as he landed on the mat. Ian, who was sprawled out stomach-first on the floor next to the blue-eyed senior captain and the lavender-haired demo boy, watched with one eye as he was too exhausted to move at all. Kai, on the other hand, was sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall a couple of feet away from the others, too wrapped up in his own misery to even care that much. He only watched the fighting with interest in how strong Kilana was and how much she improved in martial arts since the last time he watched her spar with someone (and himself as well). She had already taken down Ian with no trouble, although she did play him along and made the match longer than it actually should have been. 'She seems pissed and frustrated. Wonder why….' Kai thought. His conscience answered that question. 'Are you serious…? You lame ass… it's YOUR fault?' Kai sighed in realization, since his conscious was right. 'The whole Rei thing's still bothering her.' 'And you as well, Kai, have you forgotten?' His conscience reminded. 'Right.' Kai sighed again. 'I miss you, Rei… I wish I was with you again. But I fucked up big time…. Why didn't I listen…? Why am I so stupid?! For the love of Kami, WHY?!' Kai groaned, rubbing his face.
"Is that all you got, Spence?" Kilana asked, taunting but concerned seeing as how the boy could barely breathe, let alone answer or move. The boy was indeed way too tired to even reply. "I'm so sorry, Spence… I can't believe I tired you out already…. Go take a rest, Spencer! Nice match." Kilana smiled at the blonde and he cracked a small smile.
"Sorry… Ki… Kilana… I just… can't… go on… anymore…. You've… completely tuckered… me out." Spencer panted, completely sprawled out now and making absolutely no move to get out of his position whatsoever.
"It's alright, Spence. You tried your best to take me on and I'm proud of you. Yuri, Bryan."
"What is it, Kilana?" Yuri and Bryan asked simultaneously, confused.
"Get Spencer back to the sidelines so he can rest up and give him a bottle of water. He's bound to be a bit dehydrated at the moment." Yuri and Bryan nodded and got up, walking over to Spencer. They each put one of Spencer's arms around their shoulders and carried the boy back to the bench while giving him encouraging words.
"Good try, Spencer, but you honestly wouldn't be able to take her down no matter how hard you try. Kilana's one feisty feline, trust me. But on the good side, at least you lasted longer than long-nose over there. And to make Ian seem even worse, Kilana wasn't even trying. She played him along until the very end, whilst in your match she was actually trying all the way through." Yuri said, smirking at Ian. Bryan and Kilana snickered, Kai smirked as well. Ian glared at Yuri the hardest he could, but gave up a second later.
"I'm… too tired… to glare properly." Ian said, rolling onto his back gasping, still not totally recovered from his somewhat humiliating spar with the neko-jin co-captain.
"Oh well, at least you tried to Ian. With you being so tired, that was a pretty okay glare. Of course, you could've done a lot better…." Yuri said, still smirking.
"Yeah… it's not your fault you suck at martial arts and got tired out so easily because of it." Bryan said. The four boys continued with their teasing and chatting while Spencer got comfortable on the floor next to Ian.
Kilana watched Yuri and Bryan carry poor Spencer back and give him a bottle of water which he drank gratefully then blew her bangs out of her face and stretched a bit, loosening her muscles and stiff bones. She hadn't even broken a sweat yet, even after two matches and looked like she hadn't fought anyone at all. Fresh, bouncy and energetic; she still had a lot of frustration to get rid of from… you should know what by now.
'I'm so not satisfied yet.' She thought miserably as she pulled her gloves on tighter. 'I honestly need to take a few more people down… there's still way too much frustration and stress in my system for my own good.' She looked at the three remaining members. 'Hmm… Kai… as much as I want to fight him, partly because he's a good opponent but mostly because I want to pummel him for being so fucking stupid, I could really seriously hurt him, maybe even kill him what with all the dislike I have for him at the moment, so not a very good idea. I want to hurt him, not kill him…. Rei would kill me as well if I did that and I don't want to cause him any more anguish than what Kai already put him through. Yuri… I can't fight him… not just because we're mates. We're too evenly matched and he's a real challenge because of the fact that we can read others' minds and know each others' every move… I haven't improved enough yet to actually beat him. The only one left is…' Kilana smirked and snickered evilly to herself. "Bryan." Kilana called in a very commanding voice. 'This'll be good. I wonder how long he'll last in a match with me….'
{Since he has a thing for you, probably not very long…. Sooner or later he'll be affected by your soft skin touching his own. Actually, I think it'll be sooner than later.} Yuri's voice floated into her mind with a scowl.
{Aww… is poor little Yu-Kun jealous of Bry-Bry?}
{Well this is a physical battle. He's going to touch you. Why in Kami's name wouldn't I be? If it was a bey-battle, I'd have NO problem with it.}
{Tsk, tsk Yuri-Kun. Jealousy isn't good for you…} Yuri went 'Che' in her mind and she winced, closing her eyes. {Why are you worried, Yuri? You know I'd never cheat on you.}
{Better not…}
{You don't trust me, Yuri?} Kilana asked, hurt.
{Of course I do… I was joking, love. I know you'd never cheat on me.}
{That's good to know, but why say that then.} Yuri shrugged.
{I dunno…} Kilana closed her eyes sighing. 'I've an idiot for a mate….'
{I heard that.} Kilana looked up innocently, producing a quiet growl from Yuri's throat.
"What is it?" Bryan asked with a slight waver in his voice, seeing as how her tone was very… demanding. Like high authority. She looked at him with a sly smirk and he swallowed at the look. 'Why does she still affect me so much…? I have absolutely no chance and it's a goddamned fact.' Bryan growled at himself for being weak and for letting himself fall for someone, let alone his co-captain/best friend who's taken by the way. Taken a very long time ago… 'And I just watched them get together in the shadows…. God, I was stupid. I should've done something but no, I didn't.'
"Come here and have a friendly match with me. I still need to work out a bit more stress and you're the only one left."
"No way. Spencer and Ian may not have been a challenge for you my dear, but I'm much stronger and the same size so I'll be harder to beat. Besides, I get so wrapped up in matches that I'd probably hurt you without thinking and won't be able to stop myself either, and I would never think of hurting someone as beautiful as you. So NO, I will not fight you." Bryan said with a smirk. It was comforting to Bryan to know that because of his usual behaviour, comments such as calling someone beautiful or 'my dear' would not be out of the ordinary and therefore wouldn't raise suspicions on his "emotions" towards a certain female. Kilana stared at Bryan with cold ruby-gold eyes, a very all-knowing expression on her face.
"As your co-captain, I order you to battle me. Now."
'Ah crap…. Damn her and her higher ranking. I can't disobey an order. Fuck.' Bryan scowled at the ground, reluctant. "Fine, but if you get hurt, remember you brought it on yourself, okay?" Bryan said roughly, giving in and got up, quickly taking his position in front of the neko beauty. He took a second to take in her appearance. White tank top with the thick straps crossing over in the back, black really baggy training pants, white sneakers, hair put up in traditional Chinese buns on each side of her head (black fabric covering the buns and a white ribbon tying it off and keeping it in place) and black fingerless gloves trimmed in white with angel wings embroidered in the back of the glove. He had to admit, she'd look good with anything on and in any circumstance… even one like this where she looked like she's ready to kill something. 'You idiot! She's taken! Stop fantasising and fight her, damn it!'
"Don't worry about me, Bry, worry about yourself. Remember, I got a lotta frustration left and I need to take it out on someone." Kai's eyes widened a bit. 'Sounded like she meant that for someone else…' His mind clicked suddenly. 'Sigh… yep, she's definitely still pissed at me and my mistake.' Kai buried his face in his hands, trying really hard to keep himself from breaking down completely like he did last night. 'Failure, failure, failure… God I'm a failure!!!' Kai wanted to kill himself. The guilt was eating at him so badly. He banged his head onto the wall behind him several times, catching Yuri and Kilana's attention. 'Hmm, looks like Kai's finally realized he was wrong and totally fucking stupid!' they thought simultaneously.
{We have to sort him out later.} Kilana sent to Yuri.
{I agree… he needs to talk to us about this because we're the only ones capable of any help.} Kilana nodded.
Yuri counted Kilana and Bryan down from his seat on the bench. "3… 2… 1… GO!"
Right when Bryan heard "Go", he immediately swiped a leg to Kilana's feet, trying to trip her and end the fight easily. Unfortunately for him, Kilana knew his moves better than he did and jumped, avoiding it and kicked him in his side right when she landed on her feet. Bryan glared and went on the offensive with several punches which Kilana dodged easily. She even surprised Bryan by ducking a punch and tripping his legs right out from under him sending him flying backwards. But Kilana didn't want to end things so fast and saved him by doing a double kick, kicking Bryan's back and sending him back the way he came. Bryan stumbled forward onto one knee, panting slightly. 'Damn… she's good. Not that I didn't know that before, though.' He turned around to face the neko captain who was smirking.
"Aww, is little Bryan giving up already?" She taunted, pouting and pretending to wipe a tear off her cheek, making Yuri snicker from the sidelines and Ian and Spencer smile. He was already starting to pant while she was still full of energy. It pissed him off to no end.
"You bet your life no." Bryan growled. He prepared to go on the offensive again, but surprisingly found himself on the defensive from furious punches and kicks from his co-captain. 'What the Hell is going on here?! I can barely defend myself!' He blocked one punch, but only got kicked in the thigh HARD. It was like every time he defended himself from one attack, another would just take its place like his block never happened. He needed to find an opening or he'd be down before it even started. That seemed impossible though as Kilana had everything covered. Luckily for him, as she swiped for his face, he grabbed her hand quickly and twisted her into his body then held her there, completely pressed up on him and no way out. She reached her hands up to the arm Bryan had around her neck and dug her nails into the skin, desperately trying to loosen his hold, but he held on way too tight making escape virtually impossible.
"It looks like I've got you trapped, Kilana. See if you can find your way out." 'Damn… this feels nice. Her hair smells nice too….' Yuri watched carefully and saw the dreamy expression on Bryan's face. He growled, fully knowing what was going through Bryan's mind.
{Kilana, get out of that position. I know you can do it, so DO IT! NOW!} Yuri sent to her, furious.
{What? Why?} Kilana sent back, confused as to why Yuri was so angry. {What's wrong?}
{Bryan's enjoying you in that position, did you not know that?}
{Well yeah… I knew that… I can feel it. But you don't have to get so angry. It's a perfectly legal move, perverted or not.} Kilana elbowed Bryan in the stomach, making him loosen his hold, wedged her leg in between Bryan's, pushed his leg forward with hers, reversing Bryan's position from behind to in front where she slipped out of his hold and kicked him in the stomach, pushing Bryan away from her. Bryan stumbled backwards, holding his stomach with a pained expression. He glared at the smirking raven-haired girl.
{Good job, Hun.} Yuri smiled, relieved.
{Would you have expected something else?}
{No…}
{Then why in God's name were you so concerned for? Sheesh….} Seeing as how Bryan was still getting over her kick to his stomach, she immediately followed her previous kick with two more to his ribs and thigh then a semi-hard punch to his face. Bryan stumbled backwards again and held his nose that started to bleed a bit. 'Wow… did I do that?' Kilana thought amazed. 'I thought he'd be a bit tougher.' Bryan smirked suddenly and wiped the trickle of blood off with the back of his hand. Kilana raised an eyebrow, smiling. 'Ooh… he mad now….'
{I can see that.} Yuri's amused voice floated into her mind yet again.
{Stop reading my thoughts, Yuri.} Kilana growled at him.
{I can't stop reading your thoughts, Kilana.}
{Why the Hell not?!}
{Just because.} Kilana sighed. 'Sheesh… Over-protective boyfriend….'
{Damn right I am… and I'm not your boyfriend. Hello? Mates? Husband even!}
{Oh be quiet.} Kilana rolled her eyes.
Bryan narrowed his eyes at the couple and their actions. 'Jeez… can they get any weirder? It's like they're communicating with each other telepathically. That's just plain impossible. Oh well… she's distracted. My turn to cause some pain…. Revenge is sweet.' He thought evilly. 'Don't hit her too hard! Remember, you don't want to hurt her.' His conscious screamed. 'Damn these cursed emotions. And they said they removed it all… Ha. Lies.' Bryan shook himself out of his miserable thoughts and charged at the distracted girl, throwing kicks and punches that all hit. Kilana caught on eventually and he once again couldn't land a single hit. But nevertheless, Bryan grabbed Kilana's leg just as she almost kicked him in the side and threw her behind him by the leg. She's down now, right? Wrong. Surprising not only Bryan but the others except Yuri, she did a back-flip and landed on her own two feet like the neko she is.
"Ouch…. The twist to the leg as you threw me fucking hurt, Bryan." She growled at him and rubbed her leg. Bryan smirked.
"That was payback for the mild nosebleed." Bryan said smugly, crossing his arms over his chest. She glared at him with the iciest glare known to mankind and he shivered.
"That's it… You are SO dead, Bryan." Immediately after the sentence was uttered out of her mouth, Bryan was on the defensive and again barely able to even protect himself. 'She's hot when she's pissed… but NOW is NOT the time to be thinking such things!' Bryan smacked himself mentally realizing that thinking such thoughts at a time like this was making him distracted and therefore was ending up with him getting beaten up worse than he already was. Kilana kicked him twice in the rib, succeeded in a at least three punch combo to the face and jaw and a knee to the stomach then tripped him, sending Bryan falling back-first to the ground (or mat) with a 'WHUMP!' Bryan groaned out loud.
"Ugh… my back…. I think my spine's broken…. At least save me like last time, Kilana!" Bryan suggested angrily as he sat up, rubbing his back with a pained expression.
"I'm not saving you after you messed my face up with those really hard punches of yours! Look at my face! It's all scratched and bruised because of you. You deserve it… it's your fault anyway. Besides, I never hit you that many times to the face as you have to me." Kilana wiped away a trickle of blood from a scratch on her cheek and one on her lip with the back of her gloved hand, smearing blood over the white embroidery. "Is this over or are we going some more then?" Kilana asked impatiently. Bryan spat out some blood, slowly got to his feet and without notice went on the offensive. This move ended up with Kilana thrown against the wall and falling onto her side on the mat.
"Kilana! You okay, baby?!" Yuri rushed over seeing as how she was in a lot of pain (more like felt it). Kai was about to get up too, but Kilana stopped them both.
"Don't come over here. I'm fine." Kilana said, getting up. Yuri stopped in his tracks and Kai sat back down slowly.
"You sure, Kilana?" Yuri asked, concerned.
"Yeah, you hit the wall hard." Kai said pretty loudly from his position on the floor.
"Yes. Very. Go."
"'K…" Yuri backed up and sat back down on the bench. Kilana walked towards Bryan slowly, like a panther stalking her prey and stopped 2 feet away. Bryan gulped. This was not looking good for him. 'Maybe I shouldn't have done that….'
"You should never have done that, Bryan. Now I'm mad. And you do not want to be around me when I'm MAD!" She punched him hard in the stomach, in the nose making it bleed again, did a two-punch combo to his face bruising his cheeks and grabbed his useless hand and threw him over her shoulder to the ground, back first again. Right when Bryan landed, she locked her leg under Bryan's chin, semi-chocking him but more holding him down than to cause pain. He reached his hands up to Kilana's leg and tried to pry it away but she was too strong. Yuri, Ian and Spencer, even Kai was surprised that she finished the match with a move like that. No one had ever finished off a sparring session with something as unique and it amazed them most definitely.
"I win." Kilana said blatantly and let the lavender-haired blader go. She got up and went over to the waiting Yuri who now had a fluffy towel and bottle of water in his lap, while Bryan stayed on the floor, glaring at the couple.
"Good job, Ki-Chan. I expected nothing less than an awesome display." Yuri said smiling. He handed her the towel which she took and wiped the blood and sweat off.
"Thanks, Yuri. Water, please?" Yuri nodded and handed her the bottle which she downed in a matter of minutes. After she was a bit more rested up she leaned on Yuri, burying her face in the crook of his neck and he in return put an arm around her waist and used his other to play with her bangs. "So tired, Yuri…"
"It was a pretty long battle, you should be. You wanna head back to our room then? Take a nice shower and I'll give you a massage if you want." Yuri said hopefully.
"Hmm… sounds good actually. You might wanna shower too… you were training pretty hard before the sparring I initiated with everyone."
"How about I save water and shower with you?" Yuri said with a smirk. Kai, Ian, Spencer and Bryan's eyes all went wide and they chocked on their own saliva.
"GODS, YOU TWO! WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION THERE, CAPTAINS!" they all yelled. Kilana and Yuri rolled their eyes at their immaturity.
"You guys weren't even supposed to be listening in the first place." The couple chorused, glaring with such similar expressions that it scared the four bladers even more. Ian and Spencer both got up clumsily and supported each other.
"Training's over, right?" they asked tiredly.
"Yep. You can all go back to your rooms." Yuri said with a smile. "Good work today. All of you." Ian, Spencer, Bryan, Kai and Kilana all nodded their heads and Ian and Spencer left the room.
"Kai, help Bryan back to his room. He's too exhausted to do anything on his own." Kai nodded and went over to help Bryan up.
"Nice match, Kilana. That was really… fun. I hope we can do it again sometime." Bryan said, smirking and licked his lips, seeming like he was cleaning off the blood. Kilana's eyes widened and she looked sick. Kai looked at Bryan and Kilana with a confused expression. Yuri and Kilana shook their heads and mouthed 'We'll tell you later. Come by our room' Kai nodded and walked out of the room helping a limping Bryan to his sanctuary. Kilana gagged.
"Remind me never to spar with him again. I think I just gave him enough material for fantasies all week long." Kilana shuddered in disgust.
"Consider it done. C'mon, let's go." Yuri said and stood up. Kilana pouted up at her mate and Yuri sighed. "Fine… Get on." Kilana smiled galore and jumped onto Yuri's back for a piggyback ride. Yuri picked up their towels and bottles of water then took off and headed straight for their room.
Later, in Yuri and Kilana's room…
Kilana and Yuri were on their bed, talking quietly and waiting for Kai to get to their room. Kilana was on her back with her hand on her stomach and burping every now and then, while Yuri was sitting against the headboard also rubbing his own stomach with the hand that wasn't around Kilana's waist. They'd just returned from dinner about 20 minutes ago after Kai had told them he'd be going back to his room for now and would come by soon.
"Ugh… I'm so full…." Kilana said and quietly burped again behind her hand.
"Yeah… same here. Jeez, I haven't eaten that much in ages." Yuri replied.
"I wonder what put the cook in such a good mood today. I've never seen him cook that kind of food before and our meals have never been that big before either." Kilana hiccupped. "Ah jeez… first multiple burping now hiccupping." Kilana reached for her glass of water on her bedside table and took a big gulp. "Phew…" Yuri laughed.
"That's what you get for eating so much I guess." Yuri suddenly hiccupped as well. "Uh oh…" He took Kilana's drink from her hands and downed it himself. Kilana glared playfully.
"You had your own water!" Kilana said and whacked him with her pillow. Yuri eyed his glass.
"It's not water. It's… something else." Kilana narrowed her eyes but gave up and shook her head smiling.
"Okay then, Yuri… whatever. So, what was your favourite out of the turkey with stuffing, the unlimited supply of soup, salad, bread, buttered corn and peas, spaghetti, pizza, chocolate cake, blueberry cheesecake or apple pie? Mine had to be the cheesecake. It was SO delicious. Honest to Kami… I've never tasted such good blueberry cheesecake before…."
"My favourite just had to be… the apple pie." Yuri said, looking up at the ceiling smiling.
"Pie, Yuri?" Kilana asked with a raised eyebrow, looking at her lover like he was insane. "Your favourite was PIE?"
"Well, yeah…. My mother used to make the best apple pies all the time for dessert at home. I've never really tasted any good apple pies before until today at dinner. It reminded me of home… before I came here and the disaster where they all passed away."
"Oh Yuri… I feel your pain, Hun." Kilana snuggled closer sympathetically.
"That's right… your parents died in that accident one year after you arrived…." Kilana nodded, looking away sadly.
"I felt awful when I heard it from Rei… he contacted me telepathically after they were pronounced dead at the hospital. I knew it was coming because I felt the waves of pain from his injuries without explanation. I honestly wished I was there, but then a part of me knows that if I was, there's the possibility that I could've died too and that would've been much worse. I'm just glad that Rei survived, I don't know what I'd do without my brother. We may be a bit different in appearance and personality because we're fraternal twins, but… he's still my twin brother and I love him a lot."
"Of course you'd be lost without Rei. He's the only family you have left and vice versa. But there's no need to think about it anymore, it's all in the past." Yuri said. Kilana nodded and rolled onto her side facing the other way, playing with her bangs. Yuri rolled over and spooned up against her, sliding his hands under her shirt and caressing her sides, stomach and back, occasionally dipping low under the waistband of her pants. Kilana giggled at his touch.
"That… tickles, Yuri! Stop, Yuri, please!! You know I can't handle being tickled!" Kilana exclaimed, squirming. Yuri smirked evilly and continued to touch her soft skin, making her giggle and laugh even more, while planting feather light kisses on the back of her neck. Eventually, Yuri stopped torturing his kitten and started planting soft butterfly kisses down her neck, occasionally moving up to nip at her pointy ears, then moved back down to the tender spot just behind the protrusion of her jaw behind her ear and kissed it softly for a brief moment. Yuri then moved back down to her neck and nibbled and sucked hard on the bite mark he left a long time ago. This usually gets a pleasured gasp from his koneko but Yuri didn't get any reaction, bad or good, from Kilana and it worried him slightly.
"Kilana…?" No response. He tried again. "Kilana?" There was still no response. "Hey, answer me will you?" Yuri was getting impatient, even more so when Kilana still didn't respond. "Fine, be that way! See if I ever touch you again." Yuri rolled over the other way and sat up, crossing his arms and legs and sulked. But it wasn't what Yuri thought though. Kilana had gone into a light doze at Yuri's kissing and couldn't hear him calling her. Though, because Yuri stopped, she woke up again since someone wasn't doing what they were originally doing.
"Yuri, why'd you stop?" Kilana questioned, rolling over and facing Yuri's back. She poked him in the side. "Yuri?" Yuri flinched, pushing her hand away. "Ivanov! Answer me, damn it!" Kilana heard him go "Hmph!" and sighed. 'He must not have known I was asleep….' She sat up on her knees and pressed herself up against his back completely, sliding her hands around his waist. "C'mon, Yuri… I was asleep and didn't hear you. Don't be mad, hmm?" Kilana slid her hands under Yuri's shirt and stroked over his stomach and abs, making Yuri inhale sharply. Hearing Yuri's intake of breath, she leaned down and started to kiss his neck, scraping her fangs on his neck lightly and biting down on the bite mark she left while continuing to touch Yuri's skin, dipping low under Yuri's waistband. She then moved up to Yuri's ear, nipping at his ear. "Still mad at me, Yuri?" She whispered into his ear, causing Yuri to shudder at the hot breath. Yuri was definitely turned on by now, what with the whispering, touching his bare skin and kissing.
"I'm not mad anymore." Yuri whispered back, sliding his own hands under his shirt to grasp Kilana's hands and pulled them out from underneath then turned around to face Kilana.
"It wasn't my fault you didn't know I was sleeping." Kilana said as she let go of Yuri's hands to pull his shirt off then entwined them again.
"I don't care." was all Yuri said before he launched himself at Kilana, pushing her back onto the bed and crushing their lips together, kissing Kilana with intense force and passion. Kilana kissed back with as much force and passion that he moaned against her lips and pushed their lower bodies together causing friction making both of them gasp. Kilana let go of Yuri's hands that were still entwined with her own and reached up to run her hands through Yuri's silky red hair. Yuri, feeling that Kilana's hands had left his own, slid his hands up Kilana's top, running his fingers up and down her sides, back and stomach again. Kilana gasped and arched into Yuri's body causing more friction and a groan from Yuri. Yuri licked her bottom lip asking permission to enter and Kilana obeyed quickly with no hesitation. Yuri's tongue dove in and explored the warm cavern that he knew so well slowly, causing Kilana to mew quietly into his mouth and initiated Kilana's tongue to play with his. Kilana stopped running her fingers through Yuri's hair and moved her hands down to Yuri's back, tracing patterns and caressing returning the favour, making Yuri groan softly and kiss her harder. Once the need for oxygen was too strong to ignore, they broke apart and Yuri laid his head in the crook of Kilana's neck, resting for a bit.
"Kilana, you're purring." Yuri said suddenly, feeling the small rumbling of R's within Kilana's chest against his chin and neck. The sound was always soothing to Yuri.
"Am I now…? I didn't notice." Kilana replied innocently. Yuri glared at her playfully and she just smiled. Yuri couldn't resist the cute expression and leaned up, planting a soft kiss on her now swollen pink lips.
"I love you." Yuri said softly, making Kilana smile again.
"No duh. But I love you too."
"You two make me sick with your mushiness." A voice said from the end of the bed. They whipped their heads around.
"Kai?" they asked, surprised.
"In the flesh." Kai smirked, looking at Yuri's half nakedness with a raised eyebrow. Yuri blushed at Kai's look and immediately grabbed his shirt and pulled it back on. Kilana laughed at Yuri, leaned up and kissed his cheek.
"How'd you get in here?" Kilana asked.
"The door was unlocked."
"Didn't you lock that?" Kilana asked Yuri, who was still on top of her.
"No… didn't you?" Kilana shook her head.
"I asked you not to lock it remember?" Yuri and Kilana looked at each other and mouthed 'asked?' Kai sighed. "Because my room's further than yours, I walked you guys back and asked you before you went in to not lock the door because I'd be there soon. I made sure you guys didn't before I left."
"Oh yeah…." they both said, smiling sheepishly.
"You bakas…." Kai said, shaking his head smiling. "Well, now that I'm here, tell me, I'm dying to know… What's up with you and Bryan, Kilana?"
"Long story…." Kilana said, exasperated.
"Long story short, Bryan likes Kilana." Yuri said, annoyed as well. Kai's eyes widened.
"He does? I thought he was incapable of emotions."
"Well, apparently not as incapable as we thought."
"It doesn't matter that he likes her, does it? I mean, he has no chance anyway. You guys are married… by neko customs."
"That's true, but it's still weird that he does." Kilana said. "So we answered your question." Kai nodded. "Now, it's our turn to ask you what we suspect. Do you finally realize that nothing can keep you from forgetting Rei?" Kai looked at the couple in shock.
"How'd you guys know…?"
"We saw you hit your head against the wall miserably." Yuri said. Kai smiled sheepishly.
"You noticed that, huh…" Kilana and Yuri nodded. "Okay, so I can't forget Rei and want that second chance now more than ever. What do you suggest I do about it? I want to go back and make things right again, but I can't leave this stupid abbey like I did before. Security's way harder to get by now than 5 years ago."
"That is a dilemma, isn't it…?" Kilana said, tapping her cheek. Her eyes then lit up. "I can get Rei to rescue you, if you'd like." Yuri nodded.
"Yeah, Rei wouldn't hesitate to that." Yuri agreed.
"Ano… do you… know how he is?" Kai asked quietly, looking down and blushing. Kilana widened her eyes for a brief moment, but then smiled.
"I don't know how he's doing, but last I checked he was still crying his eyes out. Do you want me to check now?" Kai nodded and Kilana opened her end of the bond with Rei. She was about to send him a thought, but suddenly heard all of Rei's miserable thoughts rush through her mind and she gasped. 'He's thinking THAT? That's not good!'
"Kilana?" Kai and Yuri asked simultaneously, concerned since Kilana's face went paler than usual. She didn't hear them as she concentrated on all of Rei's thoughts that didn't even stop for a nanosecond.
"Kilana, hey you hear me?" Kai asked again.
"Oh my God… Shit! …" Kilana said and put a hand to her mouth.
"Double shit!" Yuri exclaimed with wide eyes.
"What is it?!" Kai asked, obviously annoyed.
"Rei's not well, Kai…" Kilana said, looking at Kai in pure horror.
"What do you mean that by?" Kai asked.
"He, obviously, doesn't like what you did to him… first he was depressed still, but then turned psycho killer in matter of minutes…"
"And now he's headed here for his… victim." Yuri said, as delicately as he could possibly say things of this nature.
"Wait, he's coming here?" Kilana and Yuri nodded. "Right now." They nodded again. "To kill me?"
"Uh… as much as that's not good a thing… yes, to kill you. Actually, not to kill you, just hurt you until you tell him why you did what you did."
"Fuck…" Kai swore. "What do I do?"
"Well, we're not letting you two meet, that's for sure. In Rei's state, he'd beat you to a bloody pulp before you even get a chance to answer him." Yuri said. Kai sighed.
"Great. When I want to make things better, he goes psycho. When I don't, he's begging me to come back. It's nice to fall in love with a crazy neko. Just… wonderful…."
"I see you haven't lost your sarcasm." Kilana commented.
"How could I? I practiced it everyday with Takao."
"From what you tell me, Takao gets on your nerves a lot." Kai looked down, exhaling.
"He's the worst thing that could have possibly happened to me. I hate training him… he's lazy, fat, egotistic, arrogant, doesn't listen and basically lives to piss me off!" Kilana and Yuri stared in shock.
"Whoa, Kai… calm down there. Jeez…." Yuri and Kilana said. Kilana pushed Yuri off of her and sat up.
"Okay, we have to focus. Because of Rei's state, you can't apologize personally, but we can always give him a message from you." Kai thought about it a moment.
"Uh, here." Kai fished into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper along with a cassette. He stared at it for a moment and passed them to Yuri. "I've been writing drafts and drafts of this in my room for the past day or two. It has my apologies and love and all those mushy things to Rei and the cassette has a song on it."
"Aww… aren't you just the romantic, Kai." Kilana said with a wink.
"I guess I am." Kai said with a shrug and smile.
"Hey! I'm romantic too!" Yuri shouted, puffing his cheeks out.
"Of course you are, Yu-Kun… of course you are." Kilana said, pinching his cheeks. "Now, let's get back to what we're going to do about Rei…"
A bit later outside Balcov Abbey, three blocks away…
'You better watch out, Kai… I'm coming for you and damn it I will get an answer from you. If it's not nice to my ears, I will kill you!' thought Rei as the remainder of the BladeBreakers ran down the streets of Moscow, getting closer and closer to the Abbey by the second. All the BladeBreakers could think about now was how determined they were to get an answer from Hiwatari Kai and how failure was not acceptable.
'I won't let you get away with hurting Rei, Kai. I'd die before I let that happen and once I'm face to face with you and you don't have a plausible answer, you'll be sorry you ever did this to him!' Takao thought to himself angrily, clenching his fist tightly as he saw the Abbey in view.
'Never would I have thought you'd do this to Rei, Kai. Never. But I can't change what happened, all I can do is hope I can change your mind about all of this once I see you.' Max thought as he looked at the possessed Rei sadly while running.
'I just know this is a bad idea! Something bad is going to happen, I just know it!' thought Kenny, clutching Dizzi tightly to his chest and running as fast as his little legs could take him so he'd catch up with the rest of his team-mates. 'Although… it's worth it to know why Kai did this to Rei, so run Kenny, run! As fast as you can!'
In a matter of minutes, the BladeBreakers reached the entrance to Balcov Abbey. Just as they were going to run inside to the main courtyard, they saw the guards and ran to the other side of the gate into the bushes, hiding until the guards were out of sight. Everybody went "Phew…" and patted their chests in relief. But then they noticed Kenny's pale, horrified face and knew that they probably shouldn't be celebrating….
"What is it, Kenny…? What's wrong?" Rei asked.
"Guys, I think there's no need to celebrate because… we tripped a silent alarm. See?" Kenny said, pointing down to the red laser coming from a yellow box. Rei, Takao and Max's faces all fell, and they quickly ran into the courtyard. Guards noticed and began to chase them, shouting "Catch them!"
"There, guys! Kai pointed it out last time!" Rei exclaimed, pointing to the room where Takao beat one of the Abbey's bladers, Alexander. Realizing the door was locked and wouldn't budge, Takao took out Dragoon and his launcher. Once Dragoon was locked into his launcher securely, he took aim for the door…
Meanwhile, in the control room…
Boris stood next to the camera guards, furious. He looked at the screen watching Rei, Takao, Max and Kenny get into the courtyard and head towards the training room. "How did they get past our guards and into our vicinity?! How?! Answer me you bunch of lazy fools!" Boris said through gritted teeth, grabbing one of the camera guards by the collar.
"We're sorry, Sir! The guards lost them! They were too fast!" the first camera guard answered.
"Enemies have breached the training room in sector A from last time, Sir!" the second said. Boris growled, not liking the situation.
"Damn those BladeBreaker kids. Always a pain in my ass. Save Kai? I don't think so. You will never have your precious captain back. Demolition Boys." Boris commanded, turning around to face his elusive team of bladers.
"Yes, Sir!" They saluted, bowing down. "What is your command?" Boris smirked.
"Take care of those meddling kids, immediately. Yuri, Kilana, do not fail me or face the horrible consequences, you hear me? Failure is not an option." Boris turned to the exit. "I expect good news… and soon." And he left.
"Yes, Sir. We won't fail you." Yuri and Kilana said, bowing at his leaving. Once he was out of sight, they turned to the guards.
"Which section are they in now and where is Kai?"
"They're still in sector A searching for passages while master Kai is in sector D in the virtual training facility."
"That's good. Team, remember our plan." Yuri said. They all nodded. "Alright, ready? Move out!"
In the training room…
"Which way do we go now, guys?" Kenny asked, frightened a bit. They all took a look around the room and saw one hallway to their left and another to their right from their position at the door.
"I say we go left. The right is too close to the main building and that's going to be where whoever they sent to stop us will be coming from." Rei said, pointing to the left dark hallway. Kenny gulped, shaking with fear.
"I d-don't like t-the d-dark…." Kenny stuttered, clutching Dizzi tightly.
"Don't be a wuss, Chief. Remember who we're doing this for. Now c'mon, let's move before-" Takao heard footsteps coming from the other hallway. "Someone comes and finds us… We gotta move, NOW!" Takao ran towards the chosen passage. He looked left before entering and saw a team a 5 people running towards them with incredible speed and he cursed.
"Stop right there!" they all yelled.
"Great, it's the Demolition Boys! Let's go!!" Takao said, gritting his teeth and lead the way down the dark passage. Rei ran alongside Takao, but kept turning around trying to look for something (or someone…) behind Max and Kenny. "Rei, concentrate! What are you looking for?! Kai's not with them!" Takao panted.
"It's nothing, Takao. Just keep running, alright?" Rei said, still looking behind. Takao rolled his eyes. "Guys, look out!" Rei screamed right when he saw Ian pull out his beyblade and launched it. Kenny tripped and fell to the floor. Max quickly stood in front of the frightened brunette in a protective manner and pulled out Draciel and his launcher.
"You guys go ahead and find Kai! I'll take care of Ian!" Max yelled. Takao hesitated, not wanting to leave Max alone to face a Demolition Boy. "Go, Takao! Help Rei find Kai and get the answers we want! I'll be fine!" Takao nodded, knowing Rei would need help and took off right behind Rei. The other Demolition Boys passed Max who had now launched his blade and was battling head on with Ian, chasing after Rei and Takao. Seeing a hidden hallway, Rei and Takao ran into it, watching the Demo Boys run past and panted.
"What do we do?" Takao asked, breathing hard.
"We should split up and both try to find Kai." Takao nodded in agreement, knowing they'd cover more ground separately.
"But… What about the Demo Boys?"
"They'll probably split up as well. Two will come after me, and two after you." Takao nodded again. "I'll take the left, you go right. Got it?"
"Yeah. Let's go… in 3… 2… 1!" Takao ran out and into the right side of the previous hallway and Rei ran left, looking over his shoulder to see that the team noticed and the familiar redhead and raven-haired girl ran after him and the lavender-haired and blonde ran after Takao. Rei was worried. If Takao got caught, he'd never get his answers.
{Don't worry, Rei. They won't hurt him.} Kilana's voice reassured him.
{What? Why?} Rei sent back, confused.
{Because they're under Yuri and I. We made sure that Bryan and Spencer get Takao to Kai, so we can catch up.}
{What?! Why?!! I want those answers more than Takao does! I thought you'd lead me to Kai! What the Hell's wrong with you?!}
{Do you really need us to explain why we aren't?} Both of Yuri and Kilana's voices said in his mind.
{YES!}
{Fine… choose a door, any door.} Yuri sent to him. Rei smiled and ran into the room on his right, Yuri and Kilana following. "Where's the light switch- never mind…." Rei said as the lights flicked on and the door closed. He heard Yuri and Kilana laugh behind him and turned around to face them. Finally, he could see her clearly, face to face. His twin sister he hadn't seen in over 10 years…. His eyes started to water, remembering how much he had missed her when she got sent away, how she wasn't there when he and their parents got into the accident. He tried smiling through the tears, trying to stop them, but to no avail. Kilana smiled back, her ruby-gold orbs also glistening with tears. She walked towards him and he reached out, touching her pale cheek afraid as if it was an illusion. "It's really you, Kilana. It really is you." Rei said quietly, pulling his sister into a hug with tears of joy.
"Yep, it's really me, Rei…. I haven't seen you a long time, I've missed you."
"I missed you more than you missed me." Rei said, letting Kilana go and looking her over uniform. White jean jacket over a black turtleneck that was just short enough to show a hint of skin, black baggy cargos with a silver belt that had a holster holding her launcher and hung low on her left hip, black fingerless gloves trimmed in white and white slip-on sneakers. "White and black is definitely your colour, Kilana. It brings out your eyes. And your hair is so cute!" Her hair was put up in Chinese buns with white fabric covering them and black ribbons tying them off and holding them in place (reversal of colour from training but same style).
"Why thank you, Rei. I see you still have this… outfit. Honestly, you've been wearing the same outfit for the last 13 years! Aren't you tired of it?" Kilana said, smirking playfully. Rei shook his head. She wiped the few tears off of Rei's cheek and then pulled Yuri over. "I think you two have already met, but just in case you forgot… Rei, this is Ivanov Yuri. I'm sure you know his relation to me by now…." Rei chuckled while nodding and shook Yuri's outstretched hand.
"It's nice seeing you again, Yuri." Rei said.
"Same here, Rei." Yuri said.
Flashback
Yuri and Ian flew down from the roof, right in front of the BladeBreakers and the door to the training room.
"Sorry, but if you wanna get inside, you gotta go through me." Ian said. Takao grinned and took out his blade, locking it into his launcher.
"Fine. You want a bey-battle, you got it." Ian smirked and pulled out his own blade. "3… 2… 1… Let it Rip!" and the blades were launched. (not going to describe the battle)
Finally, Ian withdrew his blade from the match.
"What? You're giving up? This battle isn't over!" Takao suddenly calmed down slightly when Yuri received a message through his headset.
"You said you were looking for Kai, were you not?" Yuri said. Rei, Max, Takao and Kenny nodded. "Good. He was caught outside the abbey in the cold and fell ill. It seems he has a bad fever. Our doctors are taking care of him right now in our hospital wing."
"Is he alright?!" Rei asked worriedly. Yuri smiled slightly.
"He's stable. We'll contact you all immediately when he wakes up."
"How can we trust you?" Takao growled.
"Why would you not? We're the only ones who know his whereabouts."
"What's your name then? So when we come back, we know who to look for."
"My name is Yuri." {Hello, Rei. We finally meet.} Yuri sent to Rei.
"You're… Yuri?" Rei asked out loud, shocked. Takao, Max and Kenny stared in confusion. Yuri nodded with an impassive face, raising no suspicions.
{Yes. It's nice to finally meet you, Rei. I know we've only gotten to talk like this.}
{Wow, so you're my sister's mate.}
{Indeed I am. And you're Kai's.}
{Not officially yet.}
{We know. I'm sorry about Kai… he'll be better soon.} Yuri cringed internally, knowing it was a lie.
{Thank you, Yuri. I hope to see you again. I know my sis is listening since there's no way this conversation could happen without it so hey sis.} Yuri chuckled.
{You will. See ya.} Rei nodded.
"C'mon, let's go guys. We know Kai's safe. That's all that matters." Kenny said and led the BladeBreakers out of the courtyard and into the streets of Moscow.
Flashback ends
"So, Rei… you've been alright?" Yuri asked gently. "I know you must be wondering why we didn't allow you to see Kai…."
"I am wondering such a thing, yes. Why am I here instead of where Kai is? I don't believe you when you said to catch up, unless you mean to see each other."
"You have a right to question our motive. Fair enough; honestly, Rei… don't you think I know you and your behaviour? In your pure frustration and determination, you would've beaten Kai to a bloody pulp before he answered you." Kilana answered, glaring. Rei sighed, slowly giving into the truth. "If Takao tried to beat up Kai, Kai can take care of Takao, that's sure and you should know. But with you, Rei, no matter what you do to him, he won't stop you. He doesn't have the strength to stand up to you now because of his error and guilt. That's the problem with you seeing Kai."
"Fine, you're right about that. But then, Takao's the only who gets to know everything! That's unfair to me!"
"That's not true…. Takao plays a part in our plan; he's the assurance for the truth while we give you what you originally want by means of this." Yuri pulled out the letter and cassette and handed it to Rei. Rei stared at the cassette that had the title 'The Reason' on it and the envelope addressed to him. ''To Rei….' That's Kai's writing.' He stuffed the cassette into a pocket and concentrated on the letter.
"Kai wrote this?"
"Duh, Rei…." Kilana and Yuri said, slightly exasperated. Rei opened the envelope and pulled out the letter.
'Don't think for one day that I don't love you, Rei. I know it probably seems that way as I abandoned you for Black Dranzer, but believe me when I say I didn't mean to. I only did it because I thought I could only achieve the perfection that I've always craved by using Black Dranzer. I wasn't wrong in that, Rei. By using Black Dranzer, I'm the epitome of the perfect blader and have unlimited power. However, that wasn't as relevant, as important to me as it used to be anymore. Your probably saying to yourself "What the Hell are you talking about, Kai? Being perfect was always your wish and you are now." Well Rei… I finally realized that nothing, and I mean nothing, is more important to me than you and your love. I'm truly sorry for what I've done to you, Rei. I never thought that it'd actually hit you as hard as it has and I blame myself for not seeing your importance to me from the very beginning. But I do now, and I know I messed up by doing this. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, Rei. I don't want to lose you either. I wish I could return to you and the others and make things right, I really do, but unfortunately I have a deal with Boris and can't go anywhere. But I just hope that by reading this letter, you know how much I'm sorry and how much I want your forgiveness. I know that's sorta asking too much as I've really fucked up, but it's worth a try. Never think that I don't love you, Rei. I love you more than you can imagine. You mean the world to me… I really wish to be with you again. Again, Gomen Nasai and I hope you know how sorry I am now and that I really do care and love you. It's from the heart, Rei.
– Kai.
P.S.: the song on the cassette is called "The Reason" by Hoobastank. It's a song that I think suits what I'm trying to tell you… Love you.' Rei couldn't believe it. Tears fell from his eyes as he read the letter. He smiled happily and began to sob (if it's possible, he sobbed happily). Kilana and Yuri watched him with a smile.
"So, Rei… does this clarify everything?" Kilana asked. Rei looked up happily, tears of joy still dripping from his amber gold eyes.
"He didn't abandon me, he didn't want to hurt me, and he's sorry that I am hurt… he LOVES me…" Rei rambled to himself, hugging the letter to his chest. "It's great, you guys. I can't thank you two enough for getting this to me."
"All in a day's work, Rei. All in a day's work." Yuri said, chuckling, glad to see that Rei's not mad at Kai anymore. Kilana smiled.
"See, Rei? You were wrong about all of that stuff going through your pretty little head. Kai does love you, more than you could possible comprehend and he never meant for any of this to happen. His mind was just clouded by his obsession." Rei nodded.
"I'm glad he figured it out then and I'll never think that he doesn't love me." Yuri and Kilana laughed.
"Alright, alright. We better get you out now. Our job's done and now it's time for you to leave, Rei." Rei pouted.
"Aww, do I have to?" Yuri and Kilana smiled again.
"Yep… don't worry; we'll see each other again. But next time, we'll probably be on different sides." Kilana said sadly. Rei looked down.
"It's okay. I can't blame you, Ki-Ki." Kilana smiled at Rei's use of her Chinese name. "C'mon then, throw me outta here." Rei said. Yuri and Kilana shook their heads, laughing quietly and lead him out to the exit. Before Rei got 'thrown out', Kilana gave her brother another hug. "I love you, Bro. It was nice seeing you again." Rei smiled through the tears in his eyes.
"I love you too, sis. You can't believe how happy I was to see you again." Rei said. Kilana smiled one last smile and grabbed him by the arm. Yuri opened the door and Kilana roughly flung him out the doorway with tears in her eyes. Then the door slammed shut. Rei looked at the door with a smile and walked down to steps to Max and Kenny who were waiting at the bottom, clutching the letter to his chest. The only thought going through his mind now was:
I hope Takao got to Kai alright…
End chapter three…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kitten: and there… chapter three is officially done. Hope there's no errors or any things of that sorts, again feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong (hint, hint JPC!) of course… there's no point because this is my first story and I'm not experienced enough to know how to fix them. However, I'll do my best to locate my errors and fix them, should I find out how. I'm sorry for the lateness of this chapter!! GOMEN NASAI! T-T… I hope the length of this chapter makes up for my tardiness.
Rei: cries on Kai's shoulder, hugging him tightly don't leave me, Kai!
Kai: T-T… I'd never do that, Rei.
Rei: promise?
Kai: promise. smiles and leans down
Rei: smiles and kisses Kai
Kitten: rolls her eyes jeez… alright, knock it off or go to your room! Again, sorry for the late update! I'll get started on chapter four as soon as possible! Which has Takao's talk with Kai… might be a shorter chapter so it might come out faster. Ooh, before I forget, Bryan liking Kilana is actually a set up for a side fic/one-shot that will tell you how Yuri and Kilana became mates. It'll come out after this. Uh… yeah, that's my explanation. Okay… till next time, Lates!
Kai, Rei & Kitten: REVIEW!!!
