"DRANZER!"
"DRIGER ATTACK!"
Crimson clashed with gold, intense stares were exchanged as breathing hitched up another notch. A blue blade smashed into the other, Kai was taking the lead. Rei stepped back slightly, clenching his fist as he looked down into the dish, eyes darting back and fore as he followed his blade. Kai stayed calm, his breathing and eyes the only thing showing he was paying attention. Rei knew it wasn't an easy battle; Kai was keeping collected, building up energy. The neko-jin closed his eyes, meditating to calm himself. Waiting until he found that inner power.
It was like the whole stadium was holding their breath; a distant roar of cheering was all the two bladers could hear. Rei opened his eyes, now cool and collected. He saw the bluenette close his own red depths, tilting his head up to the sky and raising his arms. Flames erupted from his feet and licked up his body, blue and red, a blaze of heat and passion.
"Inferno Penitence!"
The legendary phoenix rose up from her bit chip, screeching proudly as she followed her master's orders. She spread her fire wings, displaying her beauty and grace as she swooped down to attack, red feathers streamed down onto the dish and fire rained down onto it, like tears.
Rei quickly called out Driger to defend and attack back. The majestic white tiger leapt into action, doing his best to evade the oncoming attack.
"And Kai takes the lead with an awesome new attack but Rei is holding on there and looks like he has a lot more to show us"
A smirk flickered upon the two toned bluenette's face as he looked at the neko-jin, but the smirk wasn't because he was winning; it was because this was all about them. Kai and Rei. Rei and Kai.
"This is the best battle we have seen so far in this tournament, neither blader giving an edge. Kai Hiwatari and Rei Kon, as we know, hold a lot of respect to each other and now their testing their friendship to the max!"
'It's been so long, since I've seen you this close. I've missed you so much it felt like my heart had broken'
They both circled the other, the blade's almost dancing in time to their master's heartbeats.
'Those nights without you were so cold I hardly slept. Then I heard your voice. Those words. Its about us, we can do this, never give up. You kept me going.'
Golden eyes narrowed, calculating the distance between the two blades and summoning energy.
'I could never see you. But you were there'
"I know your plan"
"Oh really?" A slender eyebrow rose in amusement "I'm unpredictable Rei, you should know that"
"All too well but I've figured it out"
"Then try your plan, I'm already one step ahead!"
"Huh?" Rei gasped as Dranzer attacked his blade from above
"Rule number one. Never underestimate your opponent!" The bluenette straightened and looked at his opponent
Rei smiled and nodded, circling around Kai's Dranzer and calling Driger forth, a feeling of euphoria taking over him. "Conflicting rhapsody!"
A blinding gold light erupted from Rei's blade, making his eyes light up and sparkle. Kai narrowed his eyes from the intense light and kept his crimson orbs on the beydish. Driger smashed into Dranzer with a loud roar, gaining the upper hand and turning the tables.
"And Rei suddenly switches everything and shows off his speed" Driger darted back and fore, hitting the blue blade at all angles so fast he couldn't be seen "Is Kai in trouble?"
Gritting his teeth Kai felt his heart beat increase, the bond between him and Dranzer was so close he felt every hit she endured "Come on girl, keep it up" He closed his eyes, sharing Dranzer's pain as Rei's special attack finally came. He made a pact with the firebird a long time ago, in case he ever wandered off the path again (as in black Dranzer) he would then feel Dranzer's sense of betrayal and come back.
"And Kai makes Dranzer go onto the offensive"
Rei smiled "Way to go Driger!" He was winning now, and he much preferred it that way, though he knew this match was a long way from being over. He wanted to win, to show Kai what he could do, he wasn't going to be pushed around and no one could make him stop. He was different in beybattles. More confident and arrogant. He didn't give a damn about anything other then the match, life's idle worries were far away.
'Do you remember everything we've been through?'
'Do you know how much I've missed you?'
'It's been so long since I last laughed'
Kai shouted his order at his blade and went head to head against Rei. Both yelling their passion and determination as sparks flew from their blades.
"GO!"
"DON'T GIVE UP!"
((A/N: I have Underdog from Beyblade playing in my mind right about now)) Both teenagers' yells filled the stadium, feeding their blades energy and power as the two bit beasts rose up to the sky. The lights in the stadium trembled as the glass broke. Still they continued their yell's making their bit beast continue, even as they ran out of breath
Kai and Rei's faces were contorted with pressure, both breathing heavily as the energy got drained from their bodies. The glass fragments from the lights rained down, shining as the stadium plunged into darkness. The only light source being Dranzer and Driger and the large television screen on both ends of the stadium
"Whoa! It's lights out for us. But who will be knocked out first?" The announcer called, goose bumps crawling along his skin at the match in front of him.
"Kai! I'll never stop! I'm not giving up!"
The bluenette remained silent, entirely focused on his blade. His scarf was torn to pieces, so he removed it and flung it to one side. There was a cut along his neck and eyelid with scratches all over him. His arms, legs and torso also received the marks. Rei wasn't much better. His sash had split in two, and the cut on his lip was bleeding. His arms and legs endured the same gashes as Kai did. His bandana lay a few feet away after splitting as well. Rei forgot about it soon enough.
"I have never expected you to give up Rei and I never will. But don't expect me to ever stop either."
'Do you remember me?'
"It's not possible for me to think that"
'Don't you remember what I'm like?'
Kai smiled.
'I could never forget you, have you forgotten me?'
Rei smiled back.
'This isn't a fairy tale, there's no such thing as long ago or once upon a time. You're forever to me, I'll fight and I'll win, I'll fight and I'll lose. It doesn't matter cause I know I'm doing my best'
Fire and lightning combined together. The audience screamed and moved from the front seats as the fire spread around the battle stand and lightning danced across it. Kai's eyes illuminated from the fire, looking like fresh blood as they gazed proudly upwards at the phoenix.
"You know Rei, I'm not holding back"
"That's good cause I'm not either" Rei tried to catch his breath, the power almost overwhelming 'And if you were holding back then my thoughts would be oh fuck I'm done for' He could feel his energy warring now, a heavy sensation overcoming him as the effect of the battle sank in. Kai was breathing deeply, getting vexatious because he was also tiring out. He knew he had energy in him but he couldn't find it
"I missed you"
Rei looked up at Kai, their blade's still clashing against each other, but Driger stopped in Rei's shock and almost got hit out of the dish
"Rule number two, don't get distracted"
Rei summoned his blade back and they were soon full force against each other again "I missed you too"
Kai smirked, that's how he could find that power. He just had to remember his time without Rei and what he went through just for this moment. Rei shook his head. No! No way was he giving up just yet. He could do this, he knows it.
Kai's memoryThe bluenette sat down in his empty hotel room. Sitting on his bed, he moved his hand over the silk sheets. Looking down at the floor. Ok, there was no denying it. He missed his kitten. The room was so vacant with out the ebony haired wonder smiling and laughing. He half expected the Chinese youth to wander in from the kitchen, golden orbs lighting up before he pounced onto the Russian and talked to him about something. He felt cold without him. Like half of him was missing.
"Rei…" The purest thing he had ever said. A personal prayer. His lover's name was drenched in innocence as he saw that loving smile and ebony hair swish about the tigers beautiful face as he laughed. He hadn't felt so alone in so long. Not even when his parent's died did he feel this…helpless. He stared at Rei's picture the only thing that devoured his heartache and consumed his attention.
End of Memory
"DRANZER!" He had found the inspiration
Rei stepped back from the new power the phoenix radiated 'No, I won't stop. I still have some fight left in me!'
Rei's memory
He was so cold that night. Wanting to slip into a false sense of security as he imagined Kai's arms wrapped around his waist, the strawberry scent becoming the most soothing aroma possible, like a drug. He had felt so safe when he slept in Kai's arms. There was a shield there to deflect any harm. Missing the time when they would whisper sweet nothings in each other's ears, kissing and hugging until sleep finally took over. Rei remembered when they would stay up all night and just talk. He treasured those times and took note of everything his koi said. Noticing his eyes lighting up and sparkling when happy, but going dark when upset.
The neko-jin curled up tight under the blanket and sniffed, tears coming to his eyes, wanting Kai more then ever. He felt so small and insignificant with out the Russian. He closed his eyes and fooled himself into believing that the bluenette would soon stalk into the room and call him kitten and hold him close, wiping away the tears. The darkness swallowed everything up and even the slightest noise was loud. He didn't sleep that night. Finally drifting off when the sun rose up, but woke up soon after. Forgetting where he was, Rei looked towards the bathroom door, expecting Kai to walk out with a towel wrapped around his waist and chest shining from the water.
But he never came.
And the neko-jin couldn't help the tears when he realised.
end of memory
"DRIGER!" Rei screamed, emotion in his voice. The fire around them grew and the thunder rumbled lowly.
Both built up everything inside and called out their final attacks. This was it. The decision making move.
"GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!"
"AHHH! GO!"
A clash. Contact. Sweat, blood and tears. Everything came to this one moment!
Through the calls of determination, one person's blade was left spinning. The thunder drew away and the fire disappeared. Through the smoke, one blade was still going while the other lay dormant.
One person had won, the other had lost. But had they really lost?
The announcer looked into the dish and blinked "And we have a clear winner! The match between Kai and Rei end's with the victor being…"
Kai opened his arms and Rei rushed to him, both meeting in a heated and longing kiss. The bluenette pulled the neko-jin closer and supported him as he felt the tiger go weak at the knees. The Chinese youth flung his arms around his captain's neck, running his hands through the two toned hair and smiling into the kiss. Both forgot the world outside their private paradise, both forgetting that millions of people were seeing them kiss. Kai's tongue plundered into Rei's mouth, once again claiming his territory as Rei pressed his lips harder against Kai's to be even closer. Eventually breaking apart for air, they gazed at the other. Rei blushed and smiled shyly while Kai stroked his cheek softly.
Then they knew.
That moment was perfect.

((A/N: Just for you to know, I didn't forget to write who won. Either way some would be disappointed by the outcome so you lot are left to decide who wins X3))
"I still can't believe you two made out in front of the entire world!"
Kai rolled his eyes and looked out of the bus window, the boy beside him smiled laughing slightly "Oh it was worth the world seeing" He snuggled up to the Russian, resting his head on the comfortable shoulder. The bluenette responded by wrapping an arm around the slim waist of his kitten. Resting his head on the other hand, he turned to look at the tiger.
"Oh was it? Even though we got hate mail and get discriminated?"
"Yes, cause Kai-koi they keep us warm. They're very good letters to burn"
The phoenix smirked and nodded in agreement.
"And it means I can be open about our relationship and shout that I love you at any time" Rei continued doing a dramatic swoon before grinning.
"Hey, you two got freaky mail too!" Tyson spoke up again, looking back from the seat in front of them.
"Just some fan girls who think we totally go together and that we made their dream come true and that they always knew we got off with each other" Kai repeated calmly. Tyson blinked.
"You made their dream come true?" The Japanese asked incredulously "Those are some weird people!"
"Granger, shut up"
Rei kissed Kai's cheek and curled his legs underneath his self. Kai realising Rei was going into his sleeping pose, quickly moved so the neko-jin was partially lying on him. Since they were on the back seat, Kai could stretch his legs out on the width of the seat, back resting against the window. Rei smiled and laid between Kai's legs, head resting on the firm chest as he snuggled up even more to the phoenix. The neko buried his face in Kai's shirt. Happy he was once again in his lover's arms.
Max smiled lightly, flicking through the paper and reading about the tournament, there was a large picture of Kai and Rei kissing, with small snippets of battles beside it. "Jeez, it's just not about beyblading anymore" He murmured good-humouredly
"Read it out then Maxie"
"Yesterday, the world watched in shock as two of the worlds most renowned 'bladers, battled heroically. But there was nothing more expected then a match worth seeing from the two 'bladers, Kai Hiwatari (The well known Russian who's name is legendary) and Rei Kon (A pleasant Chinese boy who's just as popular in the sport) But who would have thought they would give such a shocking ending to one of the greatest battles of all time? Your eyes do not deceive you; the two teenage boys' are kissing! We were expecting a kiss-off but certainly not THIS!"
Kai rolled his eyes "Jesus lucky I didn't push him against a wall and continue my festivities" Rei blushed, that was exactly what the bluenette did, just not in public.
"So what do you think of the newly found couple?" Max continues reading
"I think it's fucking awesome" Kai replied, stroking Rei's hair who laughed and nodded.
"We support the couple and wish them the best for the future, we've received letter's also supporting them and one girl from Tokyo even said 'They are a very good looking couple, I've always fancied the pant's off both of them but having them as a couple is the best! Good luck guys!' Not only that but today's society accepts homosexuals as part of life…then it goes on about famous homosexual celebrities" Max sighed, "I wonder if there's anything about the match in here"
"Doubt it Maxie" Tyson yawned loudly and slumped down in his seat "Was it just me or did the time drag when we were separated?"
"It dragged like your arse on the floor" Three guesses to who said that.
"I missed you too Kai"
Rei purred peacefully, finally falling asleep. The motion of the bus and the warmth radiated off Kai was more then enough to send him into a land of dreams and the serenity of slumber.

"Kai, hurry up"
"I'm coming Rei, what's the hurry?"
Rei sighed, leaning back on the bed, waiting for the phoenix to come out of the bathroom. The bluenette dawdled into the bedroom, rubbing his wet hair with a towel, only wearing a pair of baggy trousers to sleep in. The tiger looked over his partner and smirked uncharacteristically. The neko-jin moved slightly, sitting on his knees, leaning back on his hands as his eyes followed the form of his partner. Kai turned around and caught him staring; smirking, the Russian walked closer to Rei and sat beside him. Turning his head, he planted a chaste kiss on Rei's lips that left the neko pouting.
The bluenette placed his hands on Rei's hips and pulled him onto his waist. Rei smiled, straddling the phoenix as he wrapped his arms around Kai's neck. "Happy now?"
"Much" The ebony haired boy replied, leaning forward to capture the soft lips he was addicted to.
Kai pulled him closer, a hand travelling up and down the neko-jin's side whilst the other slipped further down. Rei smiled into the kiss, putting Kai's hand back up to only have it slip back onto his backside a few seconds later. The bluenette nibbled on Rei's bottom lip, the tiger opened his mouth and pulled the Russian closer. Kai's tongue brushed against Rei's, earning a throaty moan, and explored every curve of his delicious cavern. Breaking away, he placed hot kisses down the neko-jin's neck and across the collarbone. Rei closed his eyes and nibbled Kai's ear as the bluenette sucked on the tender skin on his neck. He released another moan as the phoenix licked the mark gently, placing tender kisses over the Chinese's shoulders.
Smirking at Rei, Kai turned them over. So the ebony haired youth was lying beneath him. Rei could feel himself heating up, a blush spread across his cheeks due to Kai's wandering hands and his steady kisses that were travelling further down. His throat was getting dry and his breathing was more shallow and rapid. Kai kissed him gently on the lips and stroked his hair, looking deep into the golden orbs. The Chinese smiled, brushing a few bangs from his partner's crimson eyes.
"Are you ok?"
Rei nodded "It's been so long"
"I know" Kai kissed the neko-jin's jaw line, his actions becoming more passionate then lustful. "I've needed you for so long"
"Kai" Rei whispered against the elder's mouth, before they met in a loving kiss. Rei was glad he was lying down, as he felt his knees go weak. In the back of his conscious mind, he acknowledged the light being turned off and Kai's body moving closer to his own. That night was special to both of them, having been so long without the other. Even though Tyson and Max didn't get much sleep due to the noises emitting from their teammates bedroom.
When Rei woke the next day it was just how he liked it. Being held in his lover's protective embrace. His hair was matted and the sheets were ruffled but it was just how he liked it. Kai was sleeping peacefully; arms wrapped around the tiger and head resting on Rei's, his cheek on the ebony hair. Rei's head was on Kai's muscular chest, resting under the phoenix's neck. They both had calm smile's on and Rei snuggled closer to the bluenette. Outside the sun had risen not to long ago, birds were quietly chirping and condensation fogged the window.
"Hey" Rei smiled at the husky voice and looked up at the Russian.
"Hi, it's early" He replied shivering slightly. Kai pulled the blankets up and pulled Rei closer.
"Well you did it again Rei"
"Huh?"
"You cost the neighbourhood a whole night's worth of sleep with that moaning of yours"
Rei blushed and hit him. Kai smiled and buried his head in the ebony hair, causing Rei to grin and forget he was mad at the bluenette. "Your fault"
"How's it mine?"
"You were the one who made me!"
"Wasn't me, it was my twin"
"Uh huh, your twin" The neko said, giving Kai a spare me look.
"Yes his name is Ivanna Duck-you"
Rei laughed and shook his head; his neck tinkling from the love-bite Kai had given him. He glared softly at the elder "People are going to comment on that"
"It is a good job" Kai stated, admiring his handiwork, he slipped a hand down Rei's thigh. Rei closed his eyes, determined not to give in this time. He would not give in, he would not give in, he would not give in, he would not give in, he would not give in, he would not--he gave in.

It was month's after the tournament now, the Bladebreaker's had gone back to their ways. Insisting that they didn't really miss each other and that it was nice to have some peace. But they were lying, they were men after all and for them to confess how much they missed each other (so much their hearts ached) would be a joke. But even through the joking every one of them knew how much they were missed.
"Hey, Hey, Hey!"
"Oh kami"
"Hey!" Tala pouted and sat on Kai's lap "Whatcha mean 'oh kami' huh?"
"I mean Oh kami, you straw!"
"YAY! I get sucked on"
All of the occupants of the living room sweatdropped and looked at the grinning red head. He looked around at them all, confusion written on his features until it finally clicked. Face now lighting up with realisation, Tala slipped off the bluenette onto the floor. Kai raised an eyebrow and looked at Bryan for an explanation. But the elder Russian merely shrugged and looked down at the red head. Rei walked into the room and paused, looking at Tala too. The red head looked up and shook his head
"I'm so ashamed"
Kai couldn't help it, but the blush and tone of Tala's voice made him laugh. It was at his friend's expense but he couldn't help it "You idiot, you've said worse things"
"Not anymore Kai-chan, I'm turning over a leaf"
"Yeah right"
"Damn I thought you'd fall for it"
"Well I didn't so….Kai-chan!" The phoenix narrowed his eyes at the wolf, who was smiling sheepishly "………..meh!" Tala breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside Bryan.
"Well it does suit you smexy" Tala lightly kissed Bryan and smirked at Kai. The bluenette was currently confused as he was just called sexy by someone who just kissed his partner while saying it.
"Weird duck fluff" He muttered, standing up and walking up to Rei. The neko-jin smiled warmly
"Hey there" he said cutely, trying to brush a bang from his eyes and hold the laundry basket at the same time. Kai took the basket and smirked.
"Need some help?"
"Please" The ebony haired boy replied, picking up some more clothing and chucking them into the washing machine "Just take those to the top of the stairs and come back down"
Kai did so, carefully going up each step as the basket obscured his view, placing it at the top of the stairs he sat down. He was able to see his kitten through the banister and watched him for a while. Even after being back together for over a month he still took time to notice the smallest things about Rei. Like how he paused every now and then to roll his eyes at what the other's were saying and even hit the red head over the head in a very Kai like manner before laughing his gorgeous laugh and teased Tala some more. Kai smiled and went back down just as Rei ran out of the room and hugged the bluenette tightly and carried onto the kitchen.
The bluenette caught his wrist and pulled the neko-jin back, pressing him up against the wall. Rei's eyes widened and hit Kai over the head too. "You horny Russian, we have guests"
"Then they'll have to close their eyes" Kai smirked, kissing Rei's neck already. The Chinese tried to push him off but was laughing and smiling too much to actually do so.
"This isn't the proper place"
"Neither were the other places remember? Like Mr. Dickinson's office, the garden, the chair Bryan is in now, Tyson's bed, the bathroom, kitchen, the attic and basement, the toilets in the supermarket, the floor in the--"
"Ok, ok, you've made your point. We're not that bad are we?"
"No, we're worse"
Rei blushed and hit Kai over the head again. The bluenette went into the living room, but not before slapping Rei's backside, earning a squeak and a glare in return. Rei busied himself in the kitchen, grinning to himself as he wiped the dishes.
Tala was still pouting, rubbing his head. Bryan did a slow sigh and hugged the red head. The wolf smiled and hugged back, resting his head on the falcon's shoulder as his partner wrapped an arm around his waist. They chattered quietly to each other, laughing occasionally. Bryan leaned forward and kissed Tala softly, eyes fluttering close as they both moved closer to the other. Tyson flicked through the channels and stopped on the news.
A pretty African woman smiled and read the headlines "And the police have finally captured the date rape fiend, of which they have been trying to capture for over a year" The screen now showed a picture of a man. Tala broke from Bryan in need of air and looked at the screen.
The red head's eyes widened and he gasped loudly "FUCK!" Kai cracked one eye lazing open, revealing a sliver of crimson as he looked at his friend. Having previously been sitting/sprawled in a comfy armchair.
"What?" He said, trying not to snap.
Tala pointed to the screen and Kai looked in the direction. His eyes widened 'That face' Screaming ran through Kai's head and the sound of a door being kicked open with an angry yell.
The phoenix shot up, angered once more "Bastard!" Tyson's knuckles were turning white from the force of the clenched fist he had them in and even Max was glaring at the screen. Bryan's eyes took on a murderous light not seen in a while. Rei frowned in the kitchen at the sudden lack of noise.
"Is everything alright?" He called
They all looked to the door and slowly to each other, except Kai that is. He was staring with a white-hot glare at the screen "…everything's ok" The bluenette eventually answered, trying desperately to keep the rage from his voice.
"Darryl Parker, as he has been identified has been reported a number of times due to sexual abuse, most commonly taking place in nightclubs. The man has abused both men and woman alike. If you know anything of this man, call this number for further information" The image of the man with cold black eyes and a white ponytail disappeared off screen.
An uncomfortable silence settled in the room. Tala looked at Kai and got up, walking towards him "Kai? Should Rei go to that court-"
"I don't know Tala" Kai interrupted
"It means he'd have to face him again. Maybe his evidence-"
"Rei would have to go through it all again"
"It could help put that bastard away for longer!"
"Rei would have to go through it all again" He repeated. Tyson coughed quietly, distracting the two.
Rei was standing in the doorway, a half dried dish in his hands, eyes clued to where the image of his abuser had been.
"Rei, kitten" Kai stood up and walked towards the stunned youth. The neko looked at Kai and shook his head. "Rei?"
"Kai" He walked up to the bluenette and held his hand "I'm ok"
"Do you want to go to--"
"I don't know"
Tala looked at Bryan who held him closer, Tyson and Max were both silent. Kai nodded, wrapping his arms around Rei's slim waist, rubbing his back "Whatever you decide, I'll be right beside you"
"I know, thank you" Rei smiled into the comfortable shoulder of his partner's, eyes flickering back to the screen where the woman was now talking about a singing koala. 'Nice, they follow a rapist with a koala'
"Take your time, it doesn't matter what you decide, ok? It's up to you Rei"
'Kai, you're always there for me, and I never know how to truly thank you. I thank my lucky stars for having someone who understands me when I don't even understand myself!'
That was the thing about Kai and Rei. When one stumbled, the other was always there to catch him.

"And the court hearing for the club rapist Darryl Parker, who used date rape drugs on his victim's, was held today. The Bridge News was there to record the arrival of the rapist himself" The News caster turned in the direction of a large marble building with two lions fixed at the end of a large stone stairway leading up to two heavy polished oak doors. "Darryl Parker has been searched for by the local and country police for years. Many reports had been administered, describing the 38 year old. One victim described him as 'Black eyes that were cold and filled with malice, he had a white ponytail and an attitude that showed he thought he was the best. As soon as I was cornered I knew he meant to hurt me. I hate him, he deserves to rot in hell' Many witnesses and victim's have travelled far today to give evidence at the court. But their identity has been asked not to be revealed. Jerry Summers, Bridge news"
Rei paced back and fore the corridor, hand twisted in the other in his nerves. He paused to take a deep breath every so often before starting to pace again. His eyes flickered outside of the window and noticed the news crew was packing up. 'Well at least they're going now' His friends were there, either talking quietly or looking at him worriedly. The neko-jin looked around and stopped in his tracks. He gasped slightly to himself. Kai wasn't there. He turned around in all directions looking for the bluenette only to be met with curious glances.
"Rei?" Tala stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder "Bud, are you-"
"Where's Kai!" He muttered, golden eyes flashing in anxiety. Why wasn't he there to support Rei? "Please, I want Kai where is he?"
"I don't know Rei I-"
"No, I just want Kai--"
"Hey. Now what's going on here?"
Rei turned in the direction of the deep and smooth voice and flung his arms around a startled Kai. "Oh god, I was so worried" He breathed as he buried his ebony head into the bluenette's shoulder.
Kai, fully realising what was wrong with Rei, wrapped his arms around the neko's waist and hugged him close. Rei squeezed his eyes shut and gripped onto the phoenix. He placed gentle butterfly kisses along the tiger's throat and stroked his hair "Shh, it's ok"
"Kai, what if they let him free? What if they don't believe me? I…I…just-"
The Russian held him closer, ignoring the rest of the people "It won't happen kitten, it's ok. You have to believe that everything will be fine"
"Since when have you become so optimistic?"
"Since I met someone who makes me happy" Was the obvious reply, making Rei smile "If he does get out-which he won't- I'll make sure he never does anything to hurt you or anyone ever again. Promise"
Rei sighed into the comfortable shoulder, so much was happening so fast, it felt like his head was spinning. "Kai, thanks for staying by me. You've helped me a lot"
"Hn"
The neko-jin rolled his eyes and punched Kai's arm playfully, the bluenette quickly grabbed Rei as he walked away and started tickling him. Tala smiled as Rei screamed and laughed twisting in the Russian's arms. Bryan raised an eyebrow and shook his head but had an amused glint in his eyes. Looking back at the ebony haired boy and the phoenix, the two older male's found them in an intense lip lock. The red head sweat dropped and Bryan sighed. Kai and Rei had, without intending to, totally forgotten about them. The younger moaned delightedly into the Russian's mouth. Breaking off to kiss Rei's neck with searing kisses.
"Guys don't make me chuck water on you"
Blushing, Rei pushed Kai back slightly and stared at the ceiling while Kai remained indifferent and sat down, arms and legs crossed. The neko-jin began pacing again, the two toned bluenette just let him. He'd be a hypocrite if he told Rei not to do that as he did it himself.
"Are you done yet?" Tala muttered, head resting on a hand after 30 minutes of watching Rei pace.
"No"
"Are you done yet?"
"No"
"Are you done yet?"
"No"
"Are you done yet?"
"No"
"Are you done yet?"
"No"
Are you done yet?"
"QUIET!" Kai shouted, his left eye twitching. Tala and Rei shared an evil look.
"Kaaaaaiiiiii?" Asked Rei
"Yes" He sighed
"Why?" Tala joined in
"Because I said so," Kai sighed again, resting his head back
"Why?" Rei chirped
"Because you're annoying me"
"Why?" Tala and Rei took in turns to ask.
"Because you're annoying!"
"Why?"
"Because!"
"Why?"
"I don't know!"
"Why?"
"Shut up!"
"Why?"
"You're giving me a headache"
"Why?"
"Because you keep on asking why!"
"Why?"
"I DON'T KNOW!" Rei and Tala closed their mouths and looked at the floor. Kai breathed a sigh of relief while Bryan was in silent laughter.
Kai shot a glare at the Falcon, finally some peace. "Why?"
Crimson eyes flew open with the pits of hell burning within them. Rei and Tala were already running down the corridor with a pissed Kai hot on their heels, leaving Bryan to collapse on the floor with his laughter.
After wiping away tears of mirth, Bryan looked at the direction his friends and partner had run off in. His eyes went wide when a sound echoed through the halls.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Tala?"
Kai marched around the corner with a smug look on his face, a mixture of aggravation and satisfaction on his handsome features. That only meant one thing. Someone just got hurt.
Rei followed Kai dragging Tala behind him. The neko-jin had a grin plastered on his face and he sat the red head down.
"Tala?" Bryan repeated
The redhead was sitting gingerly down, hand clasped in-between his legs as he hunched over, real tears were making their way down his pale face.
"Rei what happened?"
"Um" The Chinese covered his face quickly to stop laughing "Well…uh Kai-" He burst out laughing. Bryan looked towards the stoic bluenette only to find him with his eyes closed. He sighed and put an arm on Tala's
"Wolf, what happened?"
"Ow!" Tala squeaked, his voice high pitched. Rei collapsed onto a chair and even Kai was laughing. Bryan, suppressing a smirk, shook his head "Kai…the bastard!" His voice still high and squeaky "Gave me a…a…w-wedgie! Owww my nuts!"
Bryan couldn't help it, he burst out laughing leaving the red head to narrow his eyes and threaten him in his high voice, which of course just made the boys laugh harder.
"You wait Hiwatari, I'll get you!" Tala continued, making it worse for himself as he squeaked and grasped himself to stop the pain. The three other males laughed harder then ever before. Kai stood up and pulled Tala up as well. Reaching a hand behind the wolf and pulling the base of his underwear back to its rightful posistion (instead of wedged up his butt cheeks) through his trousers. Tala waved his hips to get rid of the tingle and glared at the bluenette. "My poor nuts!"
"More like peanuts anyway Tala"
"You sounded like Michael Jackson!" Bryan stuttered making Rei nod in agreement and causing them to laugh even more.
"Not only that, he grabbed his balls just like him!"
"HIWATARI!"
Then it was Kai's turn to run.
XPXPXP
"Darryl Parker…Guilty of all charges"
That sentence echoed in Rei's head as a content sigh escaped his lips. Even after all that time, he still remembered when his attacker had got put away behind bars. It was the true start of a new life. New beginning. Kai had made him laugh so hard that day so he didn't even notice he wasn't worrying. Could the Russian be any more perfect? He understood the Chinese when Rei didn't know himself. He knew when Rei was ain a bad mood or upset and he knew exactly what to do to make him happier. The result most commonly being sex, but Rei wasn't exactly complaining. He smiled fondly, remembering Kai lifting him up into the air and spinning around, only for Rei to be brought back down into a kiss. 'Fool…. my stupid Russian fool' He gazed fondly at the bluenette who was currently cursing under his breath
"Stupid fucking thing, come the fuck on, for fuck sake stupid pissing annoying thing" The phoenix banged his fist against the sink and growled deeply, glaring at the pipe work.
"Calm down, deep breath. Inhale…exhale"
Kai did as he was told before crouching back down and started fixing the water again.
Tala's eyes brightened, as he looked at the neko-jin "You stopped him having a metal fit?"
"Yes, because I'm brilliant"
"Dream on Kon" Bryan stated, pulling Tala closer. They were seated in the kitchen of Kai and Rei's new house. They had bought it a year after the court case. They had bought an absolutely gorgeous house, but it needed work. Fixing up as Kai called it. Such as stopping the water from being brown, which Kai was currently working on now.
"Reeei. There's something staring at me down here!" Kai informed
"That's nice koi, so anyway how are you two getting along?"
"Just great, the club is better then ever and Spencer and Ian are visiting next week"
"It has five eyes!"
Rei rolled his golden orbs "Cool, where have they been lately?"
"Oh in Moscow, since that bastard Boris has gone la bye bye, they've taken it upon themselves to help the ex-abbey kids"
"I'm getting licked here!"
Bryan smirked and shook his head. "Yeah, and Voltaire is banged up"
"Not that any of us are complaining" Tala added.
"Ok…. something just crawled into my ear!"
"Agreed" The Chinese grinned, remembering the old man's face when his plan had been defeated. "Let's hope he rots in there"
"Ew, as long as he doesn't become someone's little play thing" The redhead wrinkled his nose
"It's gonna lay eggs in my brain!"
Bryan raised an eyebrow and looked at Rei, who was blissfully unaware of his partner's distress. "Yo, Kon don't you think that-"
"FUCK!" Kai jumped up from the floor, and started shaking his body as though to get something off him. He pulled his shirt off and shook his arms like he was getting water off them. Rei turned his attention to Kai, as he was now topless. Once again drinking in the delicious site.
Kai glared at the shirt and looked up at the other three, becoming aware of their gazes he crossed his arms over his chest "Something in my shirt" He muttered and Rei suppressed an aww.
Bryan 'bravely' got up and lifted Kai's shirt up, rolling his eyes "Is this you eight eyed monster that was licking you?" He asked pulling a piece of lint out of Kai's shirt.
Kai muttered to himself and grabbed his black top and pulled it back on, crouching back to the floor before going back to his work. "And it was five eyes!" The Russian hissed.
He ignored the other three's laughter as he frowned at the pipes. It must be the oxidisation of the copper…. if there was such a thing. Glad others could not see him, due to the incredibly cute and confused face, Kai snapped and hit the pipe above him with the spanner.
Rei jumped as he heard the noise. Kai narrowed his crimson orbs and stood up arrogantly. "It's impossible! The fucking thing won't go fucking clear! So sorry kitten but you'll have to get used to water the colour of shit!" Of course Kai would never let Rei drink that water, but he was in a bad temper. He turned the tap on and glared murderously at the brown water that made a chugging sound before becoming clear.
Kai's face became a mixture of wonderment and plain dis-belief. His eyes widened and his mouth was open slightly as he stared at the drinkable liquid.
"Kai you did it! You did it!" Rei jumped up and clapped his hands, standing beside the bluenette (who was still in a state of shock) and hugging him tightly.
Slowly, the phoenix nodded and filled a cup with the water and gave a small smile. The first thing he had fixed in Rei's and his home. Plus he did it all by himself! A strange sense of pride filled him as he looked at the water. A silly thing to be proud of but it was so symbolic to him. The first ever thing he had actually fixed that was domestic. The first ever thing he had fixed for Rei. The first ever thing he had fixed for their new house. Even if it was because of his frustration and luck.
"Hah!" He smirked turning to Tala and Bryan "Pay up, I told you I could do it!"
The two elder males groaned and grumbled reluctantly handing money over to Kai's open hand. Rei's eyes widened at the amount of money
"Kai, you can't take that!"
"Why?" All three chorused
"Because that's a lot of money!"
"But we've always done it" Bryan stated as Tala and Kai nodded rapidly "It's like a tradition" More nods.
"But still…."
"Hey, come on kitten. It's all going to be spent on you anyway" Kai winked downed the glass of water. 'I really hope this is clean' He thought before capturing Rei's lips in his own.
Boy, haven't they come a long way?
