Goldie: Read and review! You already know we do not own beyblade!

The loud annoying alarms rang out two in the morning, two silhouettes darted out of the HQ of Hiwatari building. The two immediately got into the nearest vehicle and drove off, the both of them laughing insanely.

"That was great! I can't believe you kicked that painting of your grandfather until it had a hole right through it, you crazy ass!"

"I was wanting to do that for years," Kai snickered, not bothering to stop at a stoplight and turning left.

"Plus we got enough money to burn holes in our pockets!" Tyson cheered, opening the brief case that was jam-packed with bills, "Those straight bastards didn't know what hit them!"

"Keep it closed, even though we're out, we still have to deal with people that might tattle tale." Kai said, which made Tyson obediently closed the case. After a long uneasy silence, Tyson decided to pull up a conversation.

"Sooo, about that gay cat house...where's it at?"

"In Japan, which is where we're going."

"Damn...I hate taking flights around this hour."

"Your fault for oversleeping."

"Shut up."

---Meanwhile In Japan---

In a quiet apartment near Akuma Luna, a certain neko-jin was walking silently to his warm bath that was waiting for him. Sighing lightly he untied the white bathrobe and let it fall to the marble floor. He inhaled the fresh scent of lavender and moonflower bath salts that he recently inserted into the large garden bath, including the red, white and yellow rose petals that he sprinkled in to relish a more fragrant relaxing evening.

He timidly poked his foot in the water, testing the warmth of it before putting his right leg all the way in the bath, and then carefully slipped into the bath, without having some of the water overflow onto the bathroom floor. He cuddled into the water as though it was a large warm blanket, his hair collecting around his body as it soaked into the soft water.

He looked up at the window above him that showed the full moon above. He sighed again; he knew he was going to have another rough night at the club. Just because he worked at the club, didn't exactly mean he enjoyed the attention. Sinking even more into the water, he looked back at the times people have attempted to take advantage of him, but he always, always found some way to avoid it.

Flicking on a switch, the bath started to bubble, massaging the neko's sore back and shoulders, making him relax even more. He started to think back a little farther...months ago.

----Kuro's POV from 2nd Chapter---

After a long night of dancing I couldn't help but want to sleep. Maneuvering through the crowds of catcalls and grabbing hands, I saw Bambi and Lindsey making out in front of the doorway to my weekend room spot. Bambi saw me and broke away. She smiled cutely and patted me on the head. "You've got a little visitor in your room Kuro, he's really hot."

I sighed, "You let someone in my room again? How much did this one pay you this time?"

"Three hundred bucks," she replied, waving the money in my face. She saw my glare and rolled her eyes. "I'll tell ya what, give the guy a chance and I'll give you half, okay pumpkin?"

"He better have a good excuse as to why he's in my room in the first place," I said rather angrily. So much for taking a nap here... I guess I'll have to go back home. Bambi knows better that I hate people that only just want to get into my pants...or skirt in this case.

Going past the bouncers I went to my room, facing the door. Sighing I pulled the key from the panties on the skirt and put the key in the keyhole (Where else could he put a key anyway?). Jiggling the knob a little I opened the door, my eyes facing the back of a stranger.

He was taller than I, apparently having some native different from Japanese, telling by the dual blue hair color. He was looking around my room as though examining it. I took a deep breath, gathering up my courage.

"Who are you?"

The man turned around, I had to hold back a gasp as I peered into those deep wine eyes. It was like they saw right through me, peering into my very soul. I didn't have time to catch my breath when I heard the deep, husky voice, "That depends."

He smirked at me with a grin a sly fox could be proud of. Striding towards me with such determination that I've never seen from another. His hand touched my right cheek, folding his hand against my face. He had such gentle hands, slightly cold from outside possibly. He continued to drink my soul through his eyes, his voice spoke up and broke my gaze from him, "My name is Kai Hiwatari . . . you must be Kuro Neko."

I stared, the name sounded familiar. Then it hit me, it was a name that was spoken out of most of the bragging prostitute's tongues. Especially the males. I jerked my head to the opposite side, away from his hand, crossing my arms. I knew his honey voice was too much of a good thing. "What difference does it make to you?"

"A lot of differences you can imagine, kitty," he replied, a bit confident of himself. "You're a lot different from the other dancers. The way you're different makes you a rare golden rose in a garden of weeds."

"My, aren't you a hopeless romantic," I huffed, inching myself away from him, but he slightly inched back towards me.

"And what's so bad about that?"

"You don't look like a romantic guy - you seem rough around the edges," I replied. I had to avoid him somehow; if I didn't, I'd probably end up like those prostitutes, except I wouldn't be boasting about it. I went to my dresser and sat down on the stool, removing the gem on my forehead, picking up a cloth to remove the make up, from the corner of the mirror I could see him watching me, despite that I wasn't even looking him in the eye he still was piercing my soul with those eyes. Did he have that much effect on me?

"Rough around the edges you say?" he asked after observing my every move. I nodded, not wanting to speak. "Well, I'm rough in some cases . . . do you want a demonstration?"

"Not really," I said too quickly, picking up the brush from the dresser and tenderly brushing my hair. I stopped when the brush came to a halt in my hair in tangles. I tried pulling it out, but the stubborn thing refused to budge. I tried again, but another than my own stopped my hand. I glanced to the side, seeing it was Kai's hand that took the brush from me.

"You keep brushing like that and you'll have a bald spot," he said. He got down on his knees and started brushing the tips, then moved upwards with the brush. I was surprised at how gentle he was with my hair. Was this just some way to get to me? He had his hand on my hair as the other continued it's brushing movement till he made it up to my shoulder blades, I could feel his fingers brush my neck. Hesitantly I got a hold of my hair tie and lifted it up to Kai's view, he gave a puzzled look so I spoke up. "I tie my hair back with this."

I heard him scowl as he took the tie from my hand and placed it back on the dresser, "You don't need, Kuro. You look cute without it." I blushed, and I could tell he noticed it. I felt his hands leave my hair and took it's place on my shoulders, I could feel his warm breath against my neck as he brushed his lips against my skin. I couldn't help but let a whimper leave my throat. Sure, I liked the feeling, but do I really want this?

I could feel his lips move dangerously upwards, his seduction was washing me in a river of temptation... and I was drowning. I tore away form his hands, turning around and leaned against the dresser in a vile attempt to move away from him. "Quit it, Kai."

"Quit what?" He asked too naively.

"Quit advancing on me like that," I replied, then rushed an excuse, "I don't even know you-"

"But we can get to know each other, just let me," he said, and without warning he pinned me down against the dresser. Our lower bodies took a hint of friction, both of us letting out a soft moan. I got a hold of his shoulders for balance as I shut my eyes tightly. If I didn't do something and fast, I would end up getting screwed.

I felt his hand on my cheek again, this time his voice having a hint of demand, "Kuro, open your eyes."

Silently I obeyed, I could tell he was trying to read my eyes, and he could tell I was afraid. He gave a genuine soft smile and ran a hand through my hair. "Kuro, there's no need to be afraid, I'll be gentle-"

"It's not that," I said, keeping my hands on his shoulders, pushing him away a little. It didn't affect where he was, since he still remained hovering over me, but he backed off a little... and I mean a little. Just to cross his arms. "Then what is it?"

"I'm a dancer, not a prostitute," I snapped, he was starting to bug me with his questions, so I tried to give off a best glare, but all he did was shake his head as though I was misunderstanding something.

"You don't seem to understand, Kuro, I'm not here for a one night stand, I'm here for you."

"I'm still not interested." I whispered. He looked disappointed, and I kind of had a tug of guilt in me. Why? Out of all the other guys that have tried to bed me, this one has been the most annoying, most bothersome, most perverted and...Most sweet and most gentle guy I ever met. Oi, I need some aspirin.

"Since you refuse my offer . . . can I ask a favor of you?"

"That depends," I said nervously. He wasn't going to rape me was he?

"You're a dancer," he said, finally backing away from me. "So dance for me."

I froze. I've never done private dances, let alone for just one person. I don't know why I was nerve wracked about it, but it was in front of this guy. I saw him raise an eyebrow quizzing at me. "Something the matter?"

"Nothing really . . . I'm just not used to doing private dances for someone," I admitted. I could feel heat on my cheekbones.

"Don't worry, I won't bite . . . hard," he smirked, which didn't help my blush in any way, shape or form. All it did was make it worse. I straightened up and went over to the CD player, picking out a song I could go through that had a pretty decent beat... and something that will help me ignore his powerful gaze upon me.

I pushed play with a shaky finger, and then took a deep breath, my body swaying to the beat. Before I knew it, I felt like I was off the ground. Despite the gaze that still bore at me, I floated around the room, feeling light as air as I twirled and swayed and moved my limbs to where ever the music took me.

Then too soon I found the song already ended, despite how much I didn't want it to... but then I felt arms around my waist from behind. My eyes turned back, seeing flame-colored eyes staring back at me. The next song on the CD played a soft and slow melody. Bravely, I moved and Kai instinctively followed, the both of us moving back and forth on the floor. My arms reached out and wrapped around Kai's neck from behind. He pulled me closer to his body. I could feel his warmth blanket me as his lips found my neck again. I seemed to think that this was my weak point, since I started to melt in his arms. He looked at me from the corner of my eyes as his lips started to move dangerously towards my own. I closed my eyes, shivering against his touch that was like fire against my skin. He whipped me around and placed a hand on the back of my head before, breaking the barrier between us, meddling our lips together in a warm kiss. I could feel my mind boggling at what I should do, I've never been kissed before. Should I push him away, or should I let him kiss me? It felt so... so... right.

I felt him pull away, his hands gripping my arms so I couldn't get away. We stared at each other for a while before our lips met again. This time I didn't bother to stop him.

----Back to present time at Kuro's place in the tub XD----

He opened his eyes and sat up in the tub, running his fingers through the now damp long hair, his hand brushing past a rough mark on his skin. He glanced at the sink mirror that was nearby, and Kuro could see the fading mark on his neck. He wondered how that would still be there after all these months.

He sighed and dropped his hand into the water, making a small 'plop'. He really didn't feel like working, but he had no better options. Slowly he stood from the bathtub, draining the tub as he got out, wrapping himself into a new fresh bathrobe. He felt warm, but for some reason he felt so cold. In the back of his mind, he was wishing that Kai were holding him.

He stopped his wishful thinking right there and shook his head, why was he thinking this? He didn't need that one-shot timer bastard. He hated labeling people, but if he was ever going to get that male off his mind, he had to make it so Kai wasn't something he…wanted…needed…and dare I say it, lusted.

But even now he still wondered if he did the right thing of pushing him out of his life forever. Did Kai still really want him that way? He hasn't seen him at the club for months. He was either sleeping with another prostitute or planning. For what? Kuro didn't know.

He walked slowly to the sink mirror and snatched the brush, trying to comb out the knots, and the thoughts of that night. He was doing it rather hurriedly, making the long task job very painful.

"You keep brushing like that and you'll have a bald spot"

Kuro froze, turning around looking for the owner of the voice, "Who said that?"

"But we can get to know each other, just let me,"

Then it hit him he was remembering his words all over again, "Quit haunting me damnit!"

"Quit what?"

Golden eyes widened once he saw Kai's reflection, he didn't know what he did, but in along the lines of his brush making a very hard impact on the mirror, making shards fly around him. Kuro fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, shivering as he stared at the now broken mirror.

"Rei! Are you aright? We heard you scream in there. Are you okay? Rei! Answer me!"

'No I'm not okay.' The male thought as he bowed his head in defeat the words of that man invading his mind, he couldn't stop thinking about it as it ran through his head.

He closed his tearful eyes, letting the droplets roll down his already damp face, the conclusion coming to him.

'You're taking over me Kai.'

Goldie+Blackie: Phew fall over
