Silent Apologies (part 8)

-----What happened in the last chapter-----

-The mall-

Ian and Tala walked into shop, Ian walked off while Tala was looking for something specific. He walked up to a small glass window, his eyes widened at the sight before him. It was perfect. 'I have to get this one' He thought to himself. 'It's perfect'.

Ian walked up behind Tala and gasped at what he was looking at. "T...Tala?" He stuttered.

"Yes?" Tala replied with a sly grin on his face.

"Why...why are you looking here?" Ian gasped.

"Because..." Tala explained. "This is what I'm getting Kia for Valentine's Day" He grinned at Ian's surprised look.

"But Tala? Wow! I never knew you had it in you man!" Tala grinned at the short blader's change of attitude.

"So what you getting Karla?" He asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. Ian handed him a necklace with a red wolf on it that had diamonds for eyes.

"Reminded me of Fireborg" Tala smiled.

"It's nice...I like it, I reckon she'll love it"

"Kia'll love your gift more" Tala smiled.

"I hope so"

-With Karla, Rika and Kia at another mall- (how many malls are the in Japan? – don't answer that lol)

Kia growled in frustration, sounding more and more like her lover with every second that passed.

"Kia calm down, we'll find something for Tala don't worry" Karla grinned suddenly when something caught her eye. "What about that?" Kia's eyes widened as she followed Karla's gaze to a shop window.

"Karla no Hentai!" She screamed noticing the handcuffs and other sexual toys Karla had pointed to.

"But you know Tala, he'll love them" Kia scowled. 'Why didn't I go shopping with Kai instead?' She sighed in frustration.

-The living room – the night before Valentine's day-

Bryan sighed as he rolled onto his back. Ray still wasn't back from shopping with Spencer. Kai eyed the lavender haired Russian carefully before sighing himself. Tala growled in frustration which caused curious glances from Spencer, Bryan, Kai and Tyson who were the only others in the room.

"Why can't tomorrow just come, I'm dying here... the gods are wanting to punish and torture me I know it!" He groaned.

"I reckon you tell them Tal" Ian muttered. Tala blushed.

"But Kai'll kill me" He whined. This drew Kai's attention.

"What have you done now Ivanov?"

"Er...well, it's more like... what I'm going to do?" He said worriedly at the death glare he was receiving. "It'saboutmypresent!" He gasped incoherently. Ian muttered in the others ear's what Tala had bought Kia then all smiled and nodded. Kai grinned.

At this Kia, Karla, Rika, Max, Ray and Spencer walked in and sat down. Bryan smiled as Ray joined him on the couch. Kai chuckled at Bryan's relaxation.

"Look's like Bry got all worried" Spencer smirked. Bryan rolled his eyes in response but was cut off when a pair of hungry lips attacked his own. Kia yawned then planted herself on Tala's lap, straddling the wolf's waist as she collapsed against him. A cheery voice could be heard behind her followed by a sigh that sounded suspiciously like Kai.

"Mummy and Karla got me a boat and..." The little chibi ranted on.

Kia sighed then kissed Tala on the neck. "I never want to go shopping with them again" She muttered in his ear. Tala grinned and kissed her on the forehead.

"Need a stress release?" He muttered huskily in her ear. She blushed.

"Tala..." She groaned as he bit down on her neck, and then licked his way down her face. Max giggled. He glomped his lover, diving on him slightly, causing the older teen to groan.

"Can we play a game?" Karla suddenly yelped as a knocking noise interrupted her thoughts. Kai unconsciously thanked all the gods that stopped her train of thought at that time and went to answer the door. Hilary and Kenny both smiled as the door opened. (Author: Akk I completely forgot about them!)

"Hello Kai" Kenny smiled.

"Hey Kai!" Hilary beamed. Kai just merely nodded his head in acknowledgement.

Max beamed with his 10000000000 (Author: I'll stop now...) watt smile and pounced on Hilary and Kenny knocking them both over. Hilary and Kenny both let out a girly scream. Hilary latched onto Kenny and blushed letting go in an instant. Max got off the two startled teens and pulled them up and dragged them into the living room of the dojo.

"Hey guys" Hilary smiled as all the teens in the room smiled and nodded or said hello back.

"Right...so now that's over..." Karla began Kai sighed realising that he hadn't quite gotten away from Karla's plans. "What game we gonna play!" She exclaimed, startling even poor Maxie who was engaged in a tongue war with his lover at the time and had his tongue slightly nipped.

"Ouch!" He yelped. Spencer sighed and pulled the boy close to him.

"Sorry...blame Karla" Spencer muttered the last bit darkly. Karla just shrugged.

"So?"

"Whatever"

"Er...how about Truth or Dare?" Ray had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looked up at Kenny and Hilary. "Come sit guys" He indicated the floor next to him. Kenny and Hilary both sat down and sighed. 'How did I get into this mess?' They both thought. Everyone got into a circle, most next to their partner. "So...who goes first?"

"I will!" Karla giggled as she'd startled everyone again. "Max...truth or dare?"

"Er...truth?"

"Is it true that you can last twice as long during sex when you're on a sugar high?" Max, oh poor innocent Max blushed so brightly, he could've matched Tala's hair.

"W-What?" He stuttered. Kia sighed. Karla can be so embarrassing sometimes. Karla smirked.

"Answer the question Maxie"

"I wouldn't know..." Everyone raised an eyebrow including his lover he looked confused then it dawned on him.

"You mean cos you don't have anything to compare with last night?" Max nodded, blushing even more brightly. Karla sighed.

"Sorry Maxie, your turn anyway" Max nodded then turned to Bryan.

"Bryan... Truth or Dare?"

"Dare" Came the emotionless answer.

"Er... Drink half a bottle of Russian Vodka in one go" Bryan's jaw dropped.

"What a waste of alcohol" He smirked as he was handed the bottle by Kai who raised an eyebrow at him. "Little Maxie could've used this on Spence and had his wicked way with him" Everyone giggled except Max and Spencer who blushed furiously. Bryan downed the alcohol but it had no effect. Max scowled at this. Everyone gaped at Bryan who just smirked. "What?" His smirked grew "I can handle my liquor quite well ne?" Tala shook his head; he knew that dare would do nothing to Bryan.

"Tala, Truth or Dare?" Tala gulped.

"Truth..."

"How old were you when you lost your virginity willingly?" Tala gulped once again and blushed. His face almost the same colour as his hair.

"Erm...do I have to say?" Everyone nodded "11?" Everyone gaped at him, except for some reason, Kai. Everyone turned to look at the crimson eyed blader as he hadn't made a move to show any shock from Tala's confession.

"What?" He growled.

"You didn't?" Kia gasped.

"Noooo" Tala extended the word. "He kinda, walked in on me and...Someone" Tala gulped. Kai nodded in agreement.

"It wasn't a pretty sight I can assure you" He muttered darkly, Tala scowled insulted.

"Hey" He whined. "No fair"

"So who was your first?"

"No telling, I've done my turn, Kenny, truth or dare?" Kenny scowled.

"Truth" Tala smirked.

"Who would you want to go out with if you had to in this room, if everyone was single?" Kia realised what Tala was doing and smiled. Kenny gulped and muttered one word.

"Hilary..." Hilary blushed and turned to Kenny.

"You would?" She gasped. Kenny just plainly nodded, his face resembling a tomato. Before he knew what was happening Hilary's lips had crashed down onto his and were kissing him senseless.

"And there we have it my friends!" Ray called and stood up. Kenny and Hilary broke their kiss and glanced at Ray.

"What?" They said in unison.

"Well...this..." He pointed to everyone in the circle "game was to get you two together 'cos it was so obvious you liked each other!" Ray beamed while Kenny and Hilary glared at him. "I'm a genius" Bryan snorted at his lover's ego and pulled him into a hug.

"It wasn't only you in this lover" Ray sighed as Bryan smirked. "C'mon let's go to bed" He winked at Ray who blushed.

Kai raised and eyebrow then looked at Tyson. After grabbing his attention Kai nodded to their bedroom door. Tyson smiled and nodded following his lover to their room.

After they had left, all the others piled out into the room's Tyson had given them for the night.

-Tyson and Kai's room-

As soon as the door closed Kai's lips were on Tyson's; backing the bluenette into the door. Tyson clicked on the lock, stopping any unwanted visitors from walking in on them. Kai's hands snaked under Tyson's jacket and slipped it off the smaller blader. Tyson grinned against the kiss. It seemed like Kai was getting the upper hand this time.

Kai pulled Tyson away from the door slightly then pushed him further up, so Tyson had to wrap his legs around Kai's waist to stay steady. Kai smirked then took possession of Tyson's lips again. Tyson moaned as he felt Kai pulling his top over his head and attacking his nipples with his fingers while his lips crashed back onto Tyson's swollen ones.

"Kai..." Tyson gasped as Kai leant back slightly. An incredible feeling swept through his body. "Oh god" Kai smirked the lowered his head slightly to Tyson's nipples then licked around them. Tyson squirmed against the door.

"Getting restless love?" Kai's voice hinted amusement at the position Tyson was in. Tyson sighed.

"Kaiiiiiiiiiiii how do you cope when I tease you?" Kai smirked.

"Know you know how I feel" Tyson gulped as Kai carried him across to the bed and dropped him on it. Yanking Tyson's jeans and boxers off while he was still startled. Kai smirked as Tyson gasped realisation hitting him. Kai was going to end up being seme...

Kai unzipped his own baggy trousers and slowly, very slowly pulled them down along with his boxers. Tyson gulped at the look Kai was giving him. It was predatory. Kai smirked then crawled up Tyson's body, licking along his chest until his lips attacked Tyson's in a heated kiss. Kai reached up and pulled a small bottle out of a draws next to the bed. He waved it in front of Tyson and raised an eyebrow. Tyson gulped again. Kai was definitely going to be seme tonight...

Tyson yelped when a digit found its way into his entranced causing him to squirm slightly. "Kai..." He whimpered. Kai raised an eyebrow and when he thought the bluenette was used to the feeling, inserted another digit. Tyson growled in pain. Kai latched his lips to Tyson's to try and take some of the pain away as he started scissoring the two fingers inside of his lover. Tyson yelped as a third finger was inserted. He found himself trying to thrust against Kai's fingers. Kai's fingers swept across a bunch a bundle of nerves in Tyson body causing the bluenette to scream in pleasure as he saw white stars.

"OH GOD KAI!" He yelled. Kai smirked and thrust his fingers against that same spot again. "OH...!" His yelling was cut off when Kai's lips descended onto his own. Kai pulled his fingers out of his lover.

"You ready for this?" Kai asked, his voice was raspy from all the saliva loss. Tyson nodded in reply.

"I want to feel you inside me Kai...take me as I take you" Kai smiled and nodded. Lubricating himself and positioning himself against Tyson's entrance. With one nod from Tyson, Kai slammed into his lover; in the first aim he hit Tyson's prostrate. Struggling with his inner self Kai held still, letting Tyson get used to the feeling.

"Kai FUCK!" Kai smirked.

"I thought that's what I was doing?" Tyson giggled causing his muscles to contract and relax. Kai whimpered. "Ah Ty..." He moaned. Tyson winked then squirmed.

"Kai...you can move now you know" Kai smiled then pulled out of Tyson abruptly then slammed back in. "ARGH!" Tyson yelled again and threw his head back. "OH GOD KAI!" Kai panted as he thrust back in again.

"Ty so tight..." He mumbled. Tyson scrunched his eyes closed.

"OH FUCK" Tyson's hipped joined into the rhythm of Kai thrusting. The friction on his erection that was being rubbed by Kai's body was becoming unbearable. After a couple more thrusts Tyson whimpered and came between them.

"KAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Tyson's head slammed to the side as he came full force causing his muscles to clamp on Kai's erection. With that Kai came deep inside his lover.

"TYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOONN!" The dual haired blader yelled slightly after his lover and collapsed on top of him through pure exhaustion, not even bothering to move out of his lover's body.

-The living room (Valentine's Day)-

Everyone sat in their usual seats. Tyson and Kai on the couch, Max and Spencer on the floor, Ray and Bryan on the other couch, Kia and Tala on the chair and Karla and Ian leaning against a chair. It was Valentine's Day but no one had a made a move to exchange the gifts.

"Er so..." Karla muttered. "I'm gonna go first seeing as everyone is too chicken." No one but Ian noticed the truth in the words as he glanced at Tala who was drastically pale. She handed Ian a largish box. "It's not much... but..." Ian opened it and smiled. A photo of them when they were younger out in Russia framed perfectly in a silver frame.

"Thank you Karla, its perfect" He smiled and kissed the blushing blond haired girl. His arm around her waist loosened slightly and he held out a long thin box. Karla glanced at the box then at Ian who nodded. She opened it and gasped then flung her arms around him. Ian smiled at the gratitude from his girlfriend.

"Ok...I'll go next" Ray muttered as no one was making a move to do so. He handed something to Bryan that had a weird shape to it. Bryan raised an eyebrow at his lover before he opened it. He smirked as many little objects fluttered onto the wooden dojo's floor.

"How did you know I collected these?" He raised a small bottle of aromatherapy oil as he glanced at the neko-jin who in turn smiled and glanced at Spencer.

"Spence told me" He smiled. Bryan smiled and kissed Ray thoroughly.

"Sorry to disappoint but... I don't really want to show everyone what I got Ray" He smirked causing the neko-jin to blush, understanding what his lover meant. As did everyone else, all forming an 'o' shape with their mouths, after a minute they shut them. Karla was the first to recover however.

"See Kia I told you that you could have got Tala...!" Kia growled and covered Karla's mouth with her hand

"Childish" She muttered under her breath. Tala raised an inquisitive eyebrow. Kia shook her head. Max smiled at Spencer and handed the Russian a long, thin (in both width and depth) box with a bow neatly folded on the top. He raised his eyes to meet Max's before opening the present slowly gasping at what he saw. Two tickets glinted in the lights of the dojo showing the letters more clearly. A cruise holiday; for just the two of them. Spencer smiled and Max and hugged him.

"I can't wait" He muttered in the other's ear who in turn blushed then smiled. Spencer pulled back and handed Max two presents, indicating he should open the top one first Max giggled.

"Aw sweet!" He held up the red lollipop in the shape of a heart with the three words, 'I love you' on the front. Spencer blushed then indicated to the next present. Max opened in carefully wondering what it could possibly be. A smallish painting of a whale and a turtle embracing came into view for the others to see clearly. Spencer blushed while Max grinned and glomped the taller blond. "I love it!" Max hugged his lover tighter.

"Aw..." Karla smiled at the sight of Spencer's blush. Kai turned to look at Tyson.

"I guess we're next?" Tyson nodded in agreement before glancing at Kia and Tala. Tala smiled weakly at the two. Tyson hanged Kai a box with a red bow on it. Kai opened it slowly, untying the bow first to find a card inside saying 'Look outside' Tyson smiled at Kai's puzzled look, everyone walked up to a the window to see a red sports car parked outside on the drive with a red bow on the bonnet. Kai gasped then turned to his lover. "For...me?" Tyson grinned then handed him the car keys. Kai smiled and hugged him tightly as everyone sat back down. Kai handed Tyson an envelope with a rather large bump in it. Tyson looked at Kai confused then opened the envelope. A set of key's dropped on the floor. Tyson picked the keys and looked at Kai confused, Kai smiled in return. "I want you to move in with me" Tyson gasped then smiled quickly.

"I'd love to!" He giggled then glomped his crimson eyed lover. Kia gulped then glanced at Tala. She held out a medium sized square box. It was fairly deep for a box. Tala slowly opened and smiled, a tear rolled down his cheek as he looked at the necklace.

"Kia..." He smiled at her. "You...you...still had it?" Kia smiled and nodded. Tala pulled her into a hug then kissed her lightly on the head. He gulped as he let go. His tongue darted out to wet his lips unconsciously as they dried. He glanced at Ian who nodded. "Kia... you know how I feel that we're soul mates, and that even in a different life we'll be together forever?" Kia smiled and nodded. Tala licked his lips nervously again.

"Well..." He stuttered. "I would be...honoured if...if you...would" He rubbed his sweaty palms on his trouser legs and slid onto the floor in front of Kia. Realisation shook the girl as she shivered, a tear rolled down her cheek. "Kia...will you...marry me?" At his last two words he whipped out a box and opened it to reveal two platinum rings, both with red and blue tinted diamonds, entwined together in fancy pattern. His eyes met hers and they shone with hope. Kia gasped and flung her arms around the red head, shaking with sobs.

"YES!" She managed to choke out before slamming her lips down onto Tala's own.
