Lei-chi Kon's Rants: Hi there…--coughs-- It feels so awkward appearing here again after seven months of disappearing from everybody's sight…. Anyway, it was all because of my stupid school activities and hell, this summer (here in the Philippines, during March-May) I was a heart-broken girl so yeah, you guessed it—it's hard for me to focus on ANYTHING…! ¬.¬ But enough of the excuses! Here I am once more and I will continue my fanfic!

I hope that someone still reads this…. I hope I hadn't lost my charm! n.n

The reviewing-reviews thingy is still at the bottom. :) Enjoy!

Chapter Nine – Unpredictable Amusement

"Kai! Don't ever joke like that again!" Rei screeched angrily at Kai, who in return was smirking at the kitten's outburst.

"I wasn't joking! Now stop squeaking and take this," the Russian uttered monotonously, rendering the neko-jin a certain technological device. A celphone. Rei continued to refuse, not wanting to accept the expensive thing but Kai persuaded him until eventually, he gave up, receiving the communication gadget.

Actually they were in a district where different shops were located, and Rei has only been here just now so it wasn't familiar with him. And now this oh-so great and rich Hiwatari was buying him something he doesn't need. Damn him. He glanced back at the device on his hand, frowning slightly, as he fiddled with the keypad. Then he saw Kai smirking at him, holding up the celphone's box and the like.

"Your number is written here," the slate-haired captain stated, showing the different brochures, "and I already my stored my number and the…wench's number in there so you don't have to worry. The others' are in there too—Tyson's, Max's, Kenny's…just everybody else important…" he trailed off when he noticed Rei scrolling down the phone book to read the different numbers.

"Why do you have seven numbers in here?" the kitten asked, averting his gaze to the observing leader.

The captain smirked. "Because I have seven! Don't ask something stupid like that again."

Rei snorted and proceeded to snatch the car door's handles. "We should get going…we shouldn't spoil this opportunity!" He beamed, ramming himself to the automobile like an excited kid going to an amusement park. Okay, check that, they were going to an amusement park…but Rei's too old to be called a kid. Fifteen, too old? …Never mind. He's just too childish to be reprimanded at. Whatever.

Kai quickly followed suit and as he stepped on the gas pedal, the Ferrari rumbled to rush out of the narrow parking lot and back to the wide highway, proceeding to the nearest Mizuhara Hobby Shop of Beyblade.

"…I don't know how you talked me into this…" the gentle childish voice of the blonde echoed throughout them, with the Chinese grinning at his victorious attempt and the Russian sweat-dropping at the childish reaction. They were now standing in front of the Monogatari Amusement Park, and the said area was full of different, lively people, everybody was enjoying the happenings. Well, at least except one certain blonde….

"I just have that convincing power!" Rei replied, holding up his fingers in a peace sign. Max sighed for the fifth time that minute, how did Rei ever do that! It was certainly not his cup of tea and it wasn't a least bit amusing….

"…You could say that again," Kai's low voice mumbled as if he even heard what Max was thinking. Maybe he did, who knows? Haha to that.

Max glanced up to read the carnival's sign, then looked down to sigh again. "Rei, you know that I'm not in the mood for carnivals right now…tell me, WHY!" he screeched, but not angrily, but more of agitating. It was beginning to get to him at whatever the cause of this sudden turn of events about and all this waiting just makes him even more distraught. Heavy-hearted he glanced at the neko-jin only to find him smiling with all his heart. He gagged. "You're scaring me!"

"Stop asking questions and let's go in! Don't you want to enjoy the fun?" Rei taunted, pushing Max inside the park. Max sighed once more and again, but decided to give up. This person did have that convincing powers—but more of persisting powers—which just gets to you and in the end you wouldn't have the least bit want to reject anymore. However he did that, no one knows.

Kai watched the two with their exchange of words and expressions, smirking. He just couldn't take Rei's childish side…it's just, it doesn't suit him in a way, but in the other way…. The great White Tiger at one moment, and then in the other the playful White Kitten. Heh.

"Too bad the chief couldn't join us, right Maxie?" Rei asked, while pushing the American towards the gigantic Ferris wheel that was the center of attraction in the amusement park. Max just nodded his head in accordance and started searching around for something he wanted to go to.

Suddenly Rei stopped pushing and Max was left wondering why.

The raven-haired teen began to avert his head towards another direction, as if excited, his golden eyes glimmering with enjoyment and excitement. Too much for Kai to handle that the great Hiwatari almost lost consciousness from the…weirdness. "I saw a shooting range! C'mon Kai let's try it out!" he squealed as he tugged on Kai's arm. The slate-haired BladeBreakers captain rolled crimson eyes.

"Stop squealing! You sound like a coquette high-school girl," he pointed out annoyingly, ensuing to a fussed Driger and a laughing Draciel.

"I do not sound like a girl!" Rei exclaimed angrily, but in a few seconds was back to his blissful attitude as if nothing had happened. "Max, could you wait for us here? Kenny might change his mind and if no one looks out for him, he might feel bad…we'll be back quickly, I promise!" he added the last part to satisfy Max and as expected, the naïve blondie acceded to his friend's requests. Eyes shimmering with thrill Rei hastily pulled Kai towards the shooting arena. Max shook his head in disbelief—even Kai Hiwatari himself AKA the world's greatest prick alive wasn't able to escape the almighty, convincing power of Rei Kon! Grinning at his own description he waited for Kenny to arrive, if he ever does.

Rei continued to squeal as he pulled Kai towards the shooting range, but suddenly, he pushed Kai towards the next booth. "This is all going to plan! I told Tyson to meet us to the Ferris Wheel ride, and when he arrives, he'll see only Max! Perfect!"

Kai mused for a while, but then rolled his crimson eyes. "How would you get them to talk with each other, Kon? Sure, they probably might see each other, but would they even dare to speak? Lest get them to sit together."

Rei stiffened. Damn, Hiwatari has a point! He hadn't thought of that…. Quickly changing plans from A to B, not that he has a B in the first place, he swiftly pulled the Russian towards the American.

"Well that WAS quick!" Max exclaimed with Rei sweat dropping, followed with a shrug with his shoulders.

"Kai and I decided to join you instead with the…uh…Ferris Wheel!" Rei announced, tugging the two boys to fall in line with the unusually short queue of people to the said ride. The two just sighed at the peculiar childishness of the Chinese and as they lined up with the other comers, a familiar figure caught the neko-jin's exceptional eyesight. He smiled. He's not late!

The figure seemed to have seen them too, as his leisurely pace raced to a faster mode towards their direction. "Guys! I'm here!"

The three glanced at him. Max nearly broke into sobs as he noticed that person running approaching them, and he clung onto Rei's arm, burying his head into the Chinese's shoulder. The person stopped running too…Max? What's Max…shit, it all made sense! Even though he has a simple mind he could analyze a complex situation like this damn it! Rei hung his head, he had been expecting this to happen. Kai just sidetracked his gaze.

"I'm…going home…" Tyson, the boy who arrived, starting to turn for the exit when the Russian's fast reflex stopped him and he was met by the captain clutching his arm, then pulled towards the line. "Fuck it Kai let me go!"

"You're not going until you made everything clear with Mizuhara," Kai announced, his pale hand still clamped tightly against Tyson's arm.

"I don't—fuck you Kai! You freaking bastard!" Tyson continued to gripe, pulling Kai's grasp away from his but what can he do, the years of training from the Abbey bore the perfect Beyblader the unbelievable strength he possesses as of the moment, so he just couldn't loosen his grip. Eventually the energetic Japanese lost his power and he got tired of refusing, so he just gave up and allowed himself to be dragged by the Russian to the line, beside his EX-boyfriend.

"Rei…" Max mumbled, clutching tighter to the neko-jin's arm and whispering into his cat-like ears, with his face flushing red all over. "I don't think this will…"

"Oh look, you and Tyson are the two next person in the line, you get to share the same seat!" Rei proclaimed loud enough for the two EX-lovers to hear, to which both blushed at the comment. Max began to refuse that the seat to be him with Tyson and interchanges with Rei, only to end up with still the two EX-lovers sitting together. "Good luck!" Rei mumbled under his breath, smiling at the successive turn of events, well, up until now at least. "Well we better wait—"

"Sir, you're next," the ride's operator reminded him, his assistant prompting for the next seat. Rei sweat dropped. He's next! He never planned to actually ride too—

"Never mind, we're already here, too late," Kai's low voice broke him from his thoughts, succeeded with the pushing of the captain's hands laid on his back towards the seat. The operator's assistant quickly shut the door tight and the ride moved a bit to give room for the next two people.

"…This place isn't suited for us," Rei mumbled as he watched the people outside slowly decreasing in size as their elevation increased.

"What do you mean?" Kai's monotonous voice inquisitively asked, ignoring the golden eyes the seemed to have glanced at his direction.

Rei smirked. "I mean, this place isn't suited for us! It's only for lovers or something…or friends of course, but we're only two, so yeah…do you get what I mean?" Kai faintly nodded, then continued ignoring the rest of the world like he usually do. Rei on the other hand, witnessed the outside of the Ferris Wheel, marking the rides he would want to try later. "…I wonder how the two's going?" he uttered to himself, not really expecting any answer from anyone.

The Russian pursued neglecting other things and unexpectedly changed the subject. "Rei…I have something to ask—"

Ring! The Chinese's celphone suddenly rang and it surprised both of them. "Hold that I'll answer this first," Rei stated as he took his celphone and received the call. "Hello Weinn-chan?"

"Hi Rei-han! Thanks for sending me your number! Anyways, how's it going?" Kai's fiancée giggled through the other line, her voice too hyper that Rei was having a bad feeling that this girl would tease him again.

"We're currently setting your idea into action…we're in the amusement park!" Rei exclaimed, smiling at Kai who in return frowned at the neko-jin, sulking because of the one who he was talking with. Feh. "Max andeaahh—I mean Maxine and Tyson are already in the Ferris Wheel ride…" he almost slipped and he sweat dropped, slapping his head mentally from almost revealing the true…gender. Haha. Kai glanced at him smugly and he didn't like it, damn him, so he earned a glare from the Chinese.

Weinn continued to giggle at the other side. "That's great! I didn't know you could do it this fast! At this rate they'll be together again in no time!"

"I hope…."

Faintly, the half-Japanese girl sighed a bit depressingly, but managed to chuckle when she heard Rei's inquisitive tone at her situation. "Don't worry Rei, I'm just tired from travelling…. Guess for now we don't have problems about the two lovebirds, ne? How about Hiwatari? Maybe you should go find him someone now?"

Rei's golden eyes widened with surprise. "You're starting again…! He has you, his fiancée, so why do you want him to look for another? Do you want to end up sharing the house with his another wife?"

"…You don't even know if it's going to be a wife…"

"What?"

Weinn giggled nervously. "Ehehe, nothing! But, just like I said to you, he doesn't like me! I just know, he will look and search and probe and seek and rummage and—"

"I get the point."

"Yup—for a way to get the marriage arrangement off! I'm sure, he'll threaten Voltaire death penalty or something if the marriage will continue…" she pointed the prominent, obvious in her voice that she was hesitant to the truth, but also clear that she knows how to accept it. Rei felt himself sadden, not for Weinn but for the stoic person over there. He was depressed to know how much Kai was so oblivious to the fact that Weinn really likes him, it's just…. Hey wait…!

Maybe he should really follow Weinn's advice. He should find someone for Kai….

And that would be Weinn.
