Chapter 3

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP… A person groaned as he reached for his alarm clock. After finding it, he pulled the crimson red satin covers and sat up. Two scarlet eyes scanned the room as if he just saw a ghost.

'A mahogany door, a walk in closet, a round table covered with red…what kind of design are those? Two bags beside a cabinet…what's that?…does that lead to a bathroom? Two bed side drawers…at least I found dranzer 1…where am I?'

An odd silence filled the room…tick, tock… 'SHIT!'

Kai covered his face with his hands. He started to mumble incoherent words while he's at it. 'I can't believe I forgot, I'm in Japan right now.' After cursing a million curses, he headed for the bathroom, but before he could reach his destination, the flickering of a red light caught his eye.

'A message? Probably Max. He never fails to ruin my day, especially with his partner Tys…' He stood frozen on that spot, his eyes were full of sadness, depression, and loneliness? He shook his head and pushed the bottom and went for the bathroom.

/You have three messages…/

Message 1/Yo! Kai, you awake? Wait don't answer that. It's me, Max. Tyson's gramps is going to fetch us at ten o'clock. He said he'll stop by your place first then he'll fetch us at the hotel 2. See you then./

Message 2/Um, it's me again. I forgot to tell you that you've got to wear something formal since we're heading straight for Tyson's office. Never knew he'd be in charge for a change but heck that's Tyson for ya'. I just can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees us, he, he. Bye Kai./

Message 3/Hey Kai, it's Rei. Max didn't do it this time since he was scared you might get mad. Max: Hey! I'm not scared…I'm just…well, worried Ooookay. Anyway, Tyson's grandpa just called us and said he's going to fetch us first since he went to a store and the hotel was nearer. So just wait up 'kay. See you later then, bye./

/End of Messages/

By the time it was over, Kai was already seated at his bed glaring at the machine. He was already half naked with a towel on his wet hair. He was wearing a tight black leather pants, and water was dripping from his hair to his pale, lean chest. HOT, SO HOT. Anyone got a camera?

Kai grew taller for the past years and he has a very lean, muscular, but not so muscular like a wrestler's or something, and my two favorite adjectives, Hot and Handsome. His hair is longer, and his gray bangs are a bit lighter which gives out the full color of his eyes, blood crimson. The triangles on his face are gone. Kai is paler than before, making his lips stand out at times.

The ice prince went to his closet and took out a silk maroon polo, which clung to his body, hugging his figure. He left three buttons open, revealing his chest. Talk about formal, I bet he wears them quite often. If I know, all of his female personnel get to see this. I envy them.(sigh) Putting on some black leather shoes and squirting some perfume, Kai went out of his room and went to the dinning hall.

Along the way, his servants greeted him, which he just returned with a nod or absolute silence. What do you expect, this is Kai, Ice Prince, we're talking about. When he got there, he just sat down, read the newspaper and drank his coffee. But despite his efforts, he found himself reading the same line for the tenth time. He took his cup of coffee, but before he was about to drink it, he starred at the black liquid. So empty and lost, like him. He used to be like that, a pawn of his -dare he say- grandfather and that lowlife bastard Boris. He was so cold and collected because of them but despite everything, HE was always there, ready to lend a hand.

'He's so obnoxious and immature. He sticks his nose into other people's business and…/and yet he found a place for you in his heart./ That was a long time ago, it's different now. /Oh, how so. You mean to tell me all those time you lock yourself up in your room, sulking and calling for him was nothing but my imagination/ …(silence)… /You can't escape from him forever you know./' He was like a mouse cornered by a cat. No matter what he'll do, he had to confront the former champion and there's no way out. This frustrated Kai to no end.

Kai slammed his mug on the table, spilling some of its contents. He glared at the newspaper as if burning a hole on it. 'I hate this, being trap and I can't do anything about it. /You owe him an explanation, and a good one at that./ Argh! Kindly do me a favor and shut the fuck up. I'm troubled as it is. Damn it, I should've stayed in Russia when I had the chance to.' He roughly opened the next page, almost tearing it in the process. What he saw made his stomach flip. A picture of the person he's been avoiding, smiling, was seen on it.

Flashback

"…Tyson…promise me you'll smile like that only for me." Tyson giggled and looked up to see those pools of crimson gazing intently at him. "I promise. Only you can see my true smile." His lips curve into a smile from his lover's response. He bent down and kissed him passionately. "I love you Tyson."

End of Flashback

Wet circles could be seen on the paper. He wished they were rain or from the coffee, but as he reached to touch his face, he felt something liquid sliding down his fingers. '…I'm crying…damn it. I promised to be strong, I won't cry, I won't.' His words echoed in his head over and over again 'I love you Tyson.' He hid his face with his hands, murmuring, pleading, wondering. Wondering why he responded to those echoes with an answer he thought he could never say.

'And I still do.'

Hotel

At the lobby, Max and Rei we're waiting for Mr. Kinomiya to arrive. Rei sat across Max and is reading a magazine, while Max is well, Max. "Couldn't you stay still for one minute Max?" But the blonde just kept fidgeting on his seat. "I can't Rei, all this waiting is making me anxious. I can't wait any longer." He mumbled. "(sigh) I know you're excited to see Tyson, I'm excited too, but could you at least be patient until Mr. Kinomiya comes? And could you stop biting your nails, it's freaking me out." Max was about to protest when they heard a familiar voice calling their names.

They turned around and found Mr. Kinomiya walking towards them. "Hey there little dudes, long time no see. So you guys ready?" "Hey there Mr. Kinomiya." Greeted both boys. So Max and Rei both checked out and followed Mr. Kinomiya to their ride and went to fetch Kai. When they got there, the sight was enough to leave their jaws hanging. Seeing as they were paralyzed, Kai invited himself in the van and waited till they got their senses back. Which took them quite awhile. He, he, he

Seeing their faces was quite an entertainment to Kai while waiting. But of course he never showed that he was enjoying it. But there was a slight trace of sadness in those eyes from all that crying earlier. He never wanted to show his weakness to anyone and even if he did, they don't know what it felt. Only one can comfort him, and he wasn't here. But what really scarred Kai was that maybe he never will be.

During the ride it was, well amusing, to say the least. Max kept on looking outside with large sparkly eyes, Mr. Kinomiya sang along the radio, and did I forget to mention that his choice of music sucks. Rei was as red as a tomato. He couldn't get over the fact that he looked like an idiot with his mouth wide open over a mansion. And not to mention in front of Kai, how embarrassing can you get? Kai just kept on twitching the whole time, cursing here and there and planning on what to do to a hyperactive blondie and an annoying old geezer.

To Kai's relief, they finally made it to where Tyson was working. 'Finally. If I last another minute there, I would have been nuts by now.' Kai thought. He hasn't stopped twitching though.

It was a tall building covered in glass from top to bottom. At the top was a huge billboard with the words 'BBA Corp.' 3. Inside the building was pretty beautiful. The walls were painted with different beyblades, there were blue colored sofas and in the middle was a reception office. "Wow, this place is nice. Tyson's lucky to be working here." Max said looking around. "Yeah, this place is huge." "Cat got your tongue Rei?" Kai teased.

Remembering the little incident, Rei shut his mouth and started to blush. Kai smirked at this. "Boys, over here." Mr. Kinomiya called, they then asked for the location of Tyson's office. "Just a minute sir. May, I know who they are?" The receptionist asked politely. "I'm Satoshi Kinomiya, his grandfather. This is Max Max: (waves) Hi, Rei Rei: (smiles), and Kai Kai: hn"

The receptionist then gave them an odd look. From gramps to Rei, to Max, then to Kai, and back to gramps. "Oh my GOD! You're the Bladebreakers." All of a sudden everyone was staring at them. Then not a little sooner, Rei, Kai, and Max were surrounded by screaming fans. While Mr. Kinomiya was left on the ground after being stomped on by millions of people. some wild fans oO poor old geezer…oh well, I'm writing the story, so suffer

The three were really getting uncomfortable, and if looks could kill, the cemetery would be full by then 'cause Kai is fuming up by now. Rei and Max didn't want to be included though. 'I'm too cute to die…wait I have an idea.' The genki blonde thought. "Hey look, it's a flying pig." Everyone looked at the direction Max was pointing. Hurriedly, the three grabbed the unconscious old man and rushed for the elevator. Hearing the ding, the fans woke up from their stupor, and found their idols already in the elevator with Max waving at them. When the doors were closed, Max could feel two set of eyes starring from behind.

He turned around and flinched inwardly at what he saw. "WHAT?" "Flying pigs?" Kai and Rei gritted in unison. "They fell for it didn't they." Max said, more of like a nervous whisper. With the looks Kai and Rei were giving him, all I could say is, Good luck Maxie. The older ones looked at each other then at the nervous blonde in front of them, blinking. They just shrugged off the thought and forgot about it. Max could only sigh. 'I survived!' Poor Maxie U

When they reached their destination, they rushed off to Tyson's office. Never would they want to repeat what happened earlier, and what stupid idea could Max come up again. They didn't want to know. Oh and Mr. Kinomiya woke up already, and from the looks the three were wearing during the ride, he didn't want to know either.

Outside of Tyson's office was his secretary, a lady in her early 30s was sitting there typing along. She was wearing a blue skirt with a white button up blouse tucked in it. Covered with a blue coat, same color as her skirt. Seeing the four guests, she stopped typing and greeted them with a smile. "Good morning and welcome to the BBA Corp. My name is Ami, how may I help you?" Mr. Kinomiya went up to her table and the three followed him. "Um, is this the office of Tyson Kinomiya?" She nodded. "May we see him?" "Are you a relative of his?" Ami asked.

Mr. Kinomiya introduced who they were. And she then gave them that same look the receptionist did. "You…You're the BLADE…mphf…mmmmmphf." Max and Rei were able to cover her mouth, and just in time too. All the four of them sighed in relief. "Man that was close. Now we're going to let you go if you promise not to scream." Ami nodded. Max and Rei slowly let her go, and to their relief, she didn't scream. "Fan trouble huh? Sorry about that, I kinda tend to get excited with celebrities. But I'm kinda used to it at times during Tyson's business tour."

"Speaking of Tyson, can we see him now. Canwecanwecan!" Asked a very eager and hyper-active blondie. He kept on bouncing up and down while Rei was trying to get him to stop. But Ami just smiled at this, Max reminded him of Tyson. "I'm sorry but Tyson just called a few minutes ago saying he'll be here by eleven. But you can wait for him since it's almost eleven." Kai just grunted as he followed the three to the couches across them. He sat down and crossed his arms as he tried to keep a certain blue-eyed angel out of his thoughts.

Tyson's POV

Finally I made it, man that traffic was hell. I better hurry, I don't want to be late than I already am.

I pushed the glass door open and I hurriedly greeted Mr. Denly, our security guard. He's a very funny man, and a nice one at that. When I got inside, everyone was huddled in groups talking about things, and from the looks of their faces, they just saw something shocking I believe. Oh you have no idea Tyson.

I walked pass them but of course I was a bit curious so I thought I'd listen to a bit of their conversation along the way.

"Oh my god, I thought I'd never see them again. They've all grown." "I was so close to him, I almost touched him." "They smell so good, so intoxicating." "Man I wish my boyfriend was as good looking as them." "Oh did you see the tall one, he is so hot, with a capital H. What is his name again, oh yeah it's Ka….hey watch it…."

Oops, I didn't watch where I was going, I immediately apologized and got to the elevator. Man, I wonder what got all of them worked up. It seems there are some celebrities around here today, maybe I can meet them. The sound of the elevator got me out of my thoughts. I looked up and saw that it was still the fifth floor. My office is at the fourteenth floor. Some people got on, I moved to the side, away from them. I didn't even notice others coming in as I was caught up with my thoughts.

Flashback

I groaned when I felt the sunlight on my face. I don't want to wake up yet, I'm comfy right now. My pillow is so soft and warm and…smells good too. Hey, it's moving, cool pillow.

Wait, calculating…pillow plus moving equals inappropriate partnership. In dummy talk…THAT'S CRAZY, A MOVING PILLOW!

I opened my eyes and scanned my surroundings. My eyesight was a bit blurry but I was able to see some things. I can see two white doors, one was a glass door and it lead to a terrace. I don't know about the other one though. There's a brown cabinet and is that a bonsai tree? What's it doing all the way down there. I better sit up, oh it's on a short table. Where the hell am I? I know this isn't my room from the looks of it. No shit Sherlock.

Rubbing my eyes, I sat up properly. That's when I felt something moving beside me. I turned around and I saw sparkling emerald pools looking at me. "Good morning." Then all my fears were gone when he smiled at me. I looked at him and couldn't help but smile back. "Good morning to you too." I can't believe I was so stupid to not even remember that this is Shalen's room. I guess I must have fallen asleep from last night. Wait, if I'm here then grandpa and dad…holy shit, grandpa and dad.

Oh my god, what am I going to do, they'll kill me. Damn it, why did I have to fall asleep last night. I stood up from bed, surprising Shalen and I started to pace around the room. What am I going to do, grandpa and dad doesn't know that I'm with Shalen. They must be really worried by now. I'm so toast when I get home. I kept on pacing until I heard my Len-kun laugh. Len-kun, such a cute nickname, and only I can call him that.

I stopped pacing and I saw Shalen holding his stomach. He kept on laughing and rolling on the bed. "What's so funny?" How the heck can he be laughing at a time like this? I'm in big trouble and he's my boyfriend, he's suppose to help me. "Y-yo-you." I looked at him, confused.

"You sh-should have seen th-the look in your face. Ha, ha, ha." He just kept on laughing. I'm never going to get anything from him if he keeps on laughing. So I waited till he was done. I was getting impatient when he had calmed down. "Kindly explain." He motioned me to sit beside him and so I did.

When I sat down, he wrapped his arms around my chest so that my back was facing his. I continued to glare at him, I was really getting impatient. I saw him flinch. Oh he didn't want me angry if he wants to see daylight again. "Well, the reason I was laughing was because you were running around the room, like someone's about to kill you." I crossed my arms again. "Hmph, no shit Sherlock."

He snickered and held me closer. "Anyway, so that my cute little boyfriend will be at peace, I already called your dad last night and told him that you're going to sleep here with me." It's official, I felt like a total dork. "What! Why didn't you tell me? All that worrying almost gave me a heart attack." He gave me a peck at the cheek while I was still getting over the fact that I looked like a nut case.

"It was amusing. And besides you look cute when you're nervous and pouting. I thought I'd want to see it again. But I guess I'll be able to see it for the rest of my life from now on." The light touch of his lips against my ear made me shudder. Then it dawned on me, everything that happened last night. At the restaurant, when we watched the sites, and…oh my god, it can't be. I must be dreaming. I looked down at my left hand and there it was. A ring. I felt blood rushing to my cheeks, man is it me or is it getting hot in here.

Shalen must have seen my blush cause he held me tighter and gently turned me so that we were face to face. "What's wrong, are you all right? Are you sick?" I shook my head too fast that I felt dizzy after. I looked down at my ring at then at his and back again. He saw this and smiled at me. He held me into his arms and I just buried my head into his chest, savoring his smell. It was so alluring, so enticing. This sensation he's giving me calms my senses. I snuggled closer to feel his warmth, and he was more than happy to hold me close to him like this.

"You know what Len-kun? I'm so happy and at the same time excited because this is the first day that I'm officially engaged to you." I felt warm, soft lips on my forehead. "I'm happy too. And I can't wait to tell our folks that I am finally engaged to a beautiful tenshi, my Tyson. I love you Tyson."

"I love you too Shalen." My mind has made up, I know he's the right one. I just know it…

End of Flashback

He can be sweet sometimes. My Tyson, it doesn't sound so bad. My Shalen (giggle), and he called me a tenshi. Oh happy day. I just can't wait for tonight. We both decided that we'll tell our family about the engagement tonight. Gramps and dad are sure to be surprised. Last night surely caught me by surprise. When he opened that box, I knew my life would never be the same again. Wrapped around my ring finger is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.

A simple silver band with a sapphire stone in the middle. It had some very lovely designs carved on it. 'Shalen, my smile' was carved on the inside. Although Len-kun has the same design as mine, the only difference is that 'Tyson, my tenshi' was carved on the inside. The ring is simple and beautiful at the same time. He chose sapphire since we both like it and he said it brought out the color of my eyes. I'll never forget this day, not in my life. DING! Two more floors to go. Come on, I'm going to be late.

Wait a sec. This is my first day of being engaged so I should enjoy it. To hell with being tardy. I should be happy today and the rest of my days because I'm going to spend it with a man I love the most. Yeah, today is my day.

Normal POV

DING! The elevator opened, Tyson got off and headed for his office. He greeted anyone he passed by. He was so happy, Tyson was smiling and he felt so full of energy. Like he wants to shout at the top of his lungs that he's finally engaged. 'This is the start of a new beginning. And nothing can ruin it.'

When he got to his office, he stopped at the front of a glass door and took a deep breath. He put up the best smile on his face and pushed the door open. "Good Morning everyone." He greeted everyone and smiled up to every person he saw. But his smile faded when he saw two crimson orbs starring at him intently. He was rooted on that spot. His breaths became uneven, trying to catch some air into his lungs.

Tyson wanted to cry right then and there, but no matter how much he wanted to, he just couldn't. Opening his mouth to say something, but his voice was gone. And when he felt the courage to speak, his voice was shaky. And couldn't think of anything more but the owner of those eyes that used to make his heart skip a beat. But why is it happening again?

That's my chapter three, stay tuned for more of Deep Inside.
