Disclaimer: This is the last time I'll have to do a disclaimer in this story…phew! Okay, I definitely don't own Beyblade, and that's why Kai and Rei haven't made out yet.
So. This is chapter 5. Although it's not really – it's actually more of an epilogue. Anyway, it is the last chapter of this story, and yes, I have been neglecting my duties as an authoress lately. I'm sorry everyone, but I haven't seen Beyblade in a while, and I got really lazy and uninspired. I had a little bit of writer's block at that point too, I think. I still sorta do, so sorry if this chapter is kinda sloppy. Also, I didn't put in a sexual ref – I was tired and I had writer's block – couldn't think of where to slip one in.
So anyway, this is it. I'm putting the reviews last this time. And…I'm separating this from the rest of the story. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Umm…so, without further ado, (sounds incredibly dumb) here is the epilogue to Shrine to Rei Kon.
Rei let himself flop backwards onto the sofa. All was quiet. Which was good – peace was really what Rei needed right now. Kai had gone off for a nap instead of sticking around for his usual comfort hug, so Rei was just looking for some time to himself.
He glanced to the right. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Kyoujyu's laptop. Curiosity overcame him, and he looked around to make sure no-one else was there. No sign of anyone about, so Rei crept over and sat behind the computer. It was still on. This was Rei's chance of finding out what Takao, Max and Kyoujyu had been laughing about before!
Rei wasn't really sure why he was so curious all of a sudden. He supposed it was because the whole ordeal with Kai was over, so now he could focus on smaller issues. Sure, curiosity killed the cat, but last time, it had helped him.
Rei looked in history. There were quite a few pages listed here. Rei looked for anything mentioning his name. He found nothing. Except…what was this? Rei looked closer at the word before him. Fanfiction. What does that mean? Rei asked himself. In his mind, he broke the word in half. He was left with fan and fiction. So, fiction written by a fan, perhaps? But a fan of what?
Deciding to find out, Rei clicked on the link. A whole new drop down menu appeared. Rei scanned it with his eyes. There was real-life fanfiction in there. Rei guessed that this meant it was a fan's made-up story about something or someone real. He clicked on that. This took him to a whole new website. Interested, Rei closed history and focused on the site.
"Search…" he mumbled, clicking on the link to the site's search page. The page loaded easily, and Rei thought for a moment before typing in 'Bladebreakers'. His search returned many results. For a moment, Rei thought he would have to look at every story before he found what he was looking for. But then he remembered something. If a link has been clicked before, it should come up all purple, right? Or at least a different colour to all the other links.
This in mind, Rei scrolled down the page until he found a link like this. The title read 'Sunshine in a Storm'. Rei looked below this. There was a summary you could read before looking at the actual story. He skimmed over it, taking in every few words like 'Kai', 'alone', 'Rei,' 'love', 'discover', and 'slash'. He didn't know what slash meant, but he could guess.
He clicked on the title, rather amazed that fans of the team would go to all this trouble to write something obviously not true, or at least not at the time that they wrote it. The story had only three chapters, so with a grin he decided to read it.
Later on at lunch, everyone sat down to enjoy whatever they'd made themselves. Rei and Kai had both been too busy to fix anyone anything. Busy as in snuggling up under the covers of Kai's bed together. So while they were all sitting at the table, Rei decided to bring up what he had found out earlier.
"So, you guys really hooked on fanfiction right now, huh?" Rei asked casually. Mouths dropped around the table, except for Kai's. The team captain pretty much ignored the conversation around him.
"What – how did you –" Kyoujyu managed, while Max shut his mouth and shook his head, and Takao shoved more food into his gob.
"Particularly of the 'slash' variety, I see," Rei continued, looking up at the ceiling innocently.
"No…" Max said, disbelievingly.
"Oh, yes," replied Rei. "I especially liked the part where 'Kai stroked Rei's back lovingly'."
Now Kai was listening. "What?"
"You've been on my computer!" Kyoujyu said after a while.
Rei shrugged. "You left it on, the window still open and everything. I got curious."
Kyoujyu was starting to go red. Tyson, his food finished, was still staring at Rei with an open mouth. Max looked at Rei, then at Kai, and cracked up laughing.
Kai raised an eyebrow. "What?" he grumbled.
"They've been reading stories on the net about you and I getting together," Rei explained innocently, taking a bite of his food.
Kai looked stunned for a second, then he stood up angrily. "Takao…"
"What? What? It wasn't my idea!" Takao stood up and bolted for the front door, Kai in hot pursuit.
