Title: Sincerely Yours

Subtitle: Nerve-racking arrivals

Summary: Kai is an all-out player; he has a different girlfriend every single week. Rei is his roommate and best friend ever since high school. They did almost everything together; there isn't a time that these two were ever separated. It didn't bother Rei much that Kai had tons of obsessive fans, and it stayed that way, just the two of them living big. That is, until Kai fell in love.

A/N: I said I wouldn't update any other Beyblade ff, till I finish this one. So I shall work on it until it is completed. Hi there again! Glad I can update so soon. I really got to accomplish something here. Well, here goes chapter 2. And I know it's pass the holidays but that's how the Fic goes, so bear with me here.

Have you ever experienced the holiday seasons? Of course you have. It's that time of year when all you can hear are those annoying carols playing over and over again on the radio, in the mall, on the bus, in the house, on the streets, on…you get the picture. It's the time of the year when lovers reunite and share sweet loving kisses under the mistletoe and practically everywhere else too. It's that time of year when you prepare yourself for the most unexpected visits from your relatives, friends, and…even strangers. And sometimes, you just got to improvise a little, or a whole lot depending on your ability to see the future.

Well, the holiday seasons are the busiest times of the year. Not only do you have to dodge the many snowballs thrown at you while you're just innocently walking on the street, but you must hide yourself from your obsessing fans. Well, for most of us, there really isn't any. But for a particular gorgeous, number-1-hot-looking-guy, it is one of the problems.

After a bit more stalking for my part, since I do spend my holidays being one of the many obsessive fans desperately trying to get Kai's attention, I have come to the conclusion that not only do Kai, Rei and Tala, need to prepare for the guests that will unexpectedly show up, but they must also improvise as well, since their ability to see the future is still a little degraded. Don't gasp and faint, because even the great Kai Hiwatari, have unseen mistakes and weaknesses. You only feel shocked, because they are unseen, after all you can't possibly expect Kai to be open about his moments of weakness, right? If you said yes, are you even a Kai fan? What the hell are you doing here! Get out!

Now, back to my story. It seems that the number of guests they were expecting…or…not expecting, was outnumbered. The actual guests that arrived, was a little too much for the house and the household.

And like they say, the more the chaos.

"It's 13 days away from Christmas!"

It was a nice Sunday morning; the sun peaked out from behind the layers of clouds currently drifting in the air lazily. The bright morning sunshine reflected off the snow that had piled up on the streets from last night, apparently, while everyone was slumbering away, a heavy snowstorm blew in from the pacific and now, Rei's wish had come true! Of course, he would never hear the end of it from Kai.

"Joy…" Came the sarcastic reply from a certain older male, having the quality to win best-looking single handedly.

"Oh, why don't you ever enjoy the holiday seasons?"

"Unless your brain failed you, again, Tala. May I remind you how the last holiday season went." He received a glare from the redhead who decided to take up all the space on the couch, and is probably going to be doing that for most of the day.

"I'm sure this one won't be as chaotic as the last one." Rei tried to make things better, but reassurance didn't do much, especially when the memories of last year were still freshly stuck in their minds.

"Just as long as we don't have to improvise like that." Oh how wrong they were…and they will pay dearly for their mistake…(must sound cruel, but I am not the one making this up! It's fact people!)

"Ts-yeah, that would mean disaster."

"Well, I'm off." You can guess who said that.

"You just never have a day off do you? You work so hard." Tala pouted with his tease, knowing the blunette was off to another date.

"I'll deal with you later." Kai rolled his eyes, saying a quick farewell to the Asian still sitting by the window; he was gone, leaving only the soft echoing of the door closing.

"Well, since you'll be burying yourself in your studies, I'll just wander off." The Russian smiled, and moved from his comfort on the couch to trail off into the kitchen.

Rei turned his attention back to the world outside. Just yesterday he was wishing for snow, and here it is! And it's not even Christmas yet. He smiled to himself before getting up from his seat and strolling upstairs to where the study room was.

The house Rei currently resided in was a great place, especially since the Chinese didn't need to pay no rent. The place belonged to Kai, of course. And he'd made it clear to never thank him again for his generosity, because it'd been weeks before Rei had finally stopped thanking him, and it got on his nerves. Why Tala never did, I'm not sure.

But back to the house. It was a perfect place to put a house too, just steps away from the beach. Though it was a little far from the university they were going to, but since Kai do own all the money in the world, he easily got himself the latest cars, so, problem solved (note the word cars not car –wink, wink-). The house wasn't as big as the one he has back in Russia, but it was bigger than necessary for 3 young men to live in.

Okay, here comes the dull part. Description of the house. But, since you will never get a chance to go in, or near one of Kai's properties, you might as well stick around, because this is the closest you'll get. I however, got the chance…only after so much preparation and hard work. But I still got to enter his house, well, at least one of them. But, I'll make it short, I promise. (Not…X3)

So, the house has three floors. The first floor consists of a large living room with a fireplace and a flat screen; it is connected to a pretty fancy kitchen that led to their dining room which is connected with the living room once again. Both the living room and the dining room led to the back garden, which is Rei's most favorite place in the house, or should I say…uh…outside the house…? Whatever. The second floor can be reached only through the living room. It consists of 3 bedrooms which are occupied and 2 guestrooms and 2 spare rooms, the larger one used as a study room, and the other as a storage space. The master bedroom has a balcony which has a lovely view of the ocean and beyond. Rei picked the one with large windows and a much smaller balcony that had a view of the garden, I wonder why (sarcastic –hint, hint-). The house is designed so that you can see the second floor all around the living room. Now the basement. It's not one of those creepy ones like in the movies, it's a home theater! Exciting isn't it? Besides that, there's the garage, boring stuff. And then there's the training room, after all, Kai does work out, where do you think he get his hot body from? The store? Okay, never mind that.

Good, it's out with the sleep-encouraging part, and on with stuff that you actually care about, well it's not like you didn't care about Kai's house, but…you know, the more important things, or…wait…uh…more interesting things? No…um…whatever you call it!

By the time Tala has taken his first bite into the donut that he'd found in the fridge, which will lead him to a long series of pigging out. Rei had begun his search for his law notes from Friday. Turning on the computer that sat on the white desk, he took out a heavy-looking book from his backpack and set his notes down to start his research, with a soft sign that escaped, he begun his work.

The rest of the morning went on pretty silently, since Tala was too busy loving the taste of food (doesn't that sound like someone we know all too well?), and Rei had been working on his final report for an assignment for law school.

All peace and silence remained until lunch time, which Tala didn't see the point since he was already stuffing himself with a tone of food all morning, but Rei wasn't, and he was in need for food.

"Tala! Get up from that couch! You know, Bryan won't like it if you added an extra 20 pounds when you see him." The mentioned redhead was currently slouching on the couch, with one hand holding the bowl of popcorn on his laps and the other stuffing it into his mouth.

He would have preferred to continue enjoying the movie he was watching for the past 2 hours if it hadn't been for the mention of his boyfriend's name.

"Aww! Rei-chan, let me finish this movie before you drag me to do whatever you want me to do."

"No, if I let you, you'll just slouch for another 3 hours! That is not going to happen again!" Rei glared at the lazy Russian, the last few incidents painted clearly across his mind.

He was not about to let it happen again, even if it means literally dragging the redhead off the couch. He will do it. Tala, seeing no way out since he'd used up all of his strategies, groaned in disappointment and slowly slipped off the couch and onto the ground, before using his hands to help him stand up straight. He dragged himself across the floor of the living room to where Rei stood by the kitchen. They were about to make lunch, and Rei wasn't going to do it alone since he never cooked lunch alone (I don't know why. I swear!).

"I don't see the point for me to eat lunch…"

"You need lunch; you need every meal of the day, so I will see to it that you eat lunch, and every other meal."

"…" The redhead groaned once again, his day just keep getting worse and worse.

"No one told you to pig out on snacks, so you have no one to blame but yourself." The asian smiled innocently at his friend, knowing full well that he was getting on the other's nerves, but he wasn't about to stop. It was too good to pass, seeing Tala frustrated.

"Argh…it wasn't my fault! It's my stupid cravings!"

"Well, that literally proves that it's still your fault."

"Argh! Fine! I'll eat lunch, since I don't have a choice. What are we having for lunch, dear." Oh, he was definitely pissed off.

Rei chuckled at the sight. Tala was slouching slightly, his eyes formed T-shapes, and a glare was set in them. His hands were on the sides of his waist and his cheeks were slightly puffed out.

/Oh, if only I had a camera. Bryan would have loved this. /

"Fried rice with mashed potatoes, now get to work."

A series of argh's rang through the house as the two started preparing lunch; one unwilling, the other being evil.

"Frosty the snowman, was a hippopotamus. With an year old pipe and a stuffy nose, and two gifts worth of cooooal! Frosty the snowman was in that crappy play. He was made of snow but he scared the life out of all children that day…."

Oh man, someone doesn't know the lyrics to that carol, or any other ones for that matter. You can guess who. Well, maybe not, since he wasn't introduced yet. Ironically, he was supposed be the main character in this, but I just found someone with much more potential. Takao Kinomiya is the name, along with many of his friends, which I will introduce later. But about 18 people currently sat in Kai's living room, which was pretty empty that morning. All were suffering and cringing slightly to Takao's off-tone singing, all except for a pink-obsessed female who was clinging onto Rei's arms, as if for her dear worthless life. But she was clinging onto his arms because she was obsessed with Rei, and the only person that I've met who gave off a slightly negative feeling towards a certain drop-dead hot blunette, who is currently absent.

Now, who exactly are these 18 people besides the two that I've just briefly introduced, and why the hell are they all doing here, enjoying all the leftover snacks by Tala and was going to enjoy Rei's wonderful cooking? Well, occupying Tala's favourite space in the house was Takao who is still singing away, being oblivious to the fact that he wasn't exactly the most talented singer in the world, nor to the fact that he was really lacking in the memory department. Or, you could go with my theory, he is just plain stupid and lacks a brain (or sanity) of his own.

And then there's the blond, Max, who is a buddle of cheerfulness and optimism, because if you were to tie him and push him off a cliff, he'd still be smiling like there's no tomorrow. Well in that case, there is no tomorrow for him.

And beside these two, are the smallest but one that actually has a brain, Kyouju. He, however, has a very weird obsession. His obsession is with his laptop. Yeah, seriously, his laptop. You can probably guess by the thick glass he's wearing, even though you really can't see his eyes under that blob of brown hair.

After him, comes in the second smallest, though I think he's a genetic copy of Takao, or just his cockiness and brainlessness. Daichi, with a weird thing on his forehead that I just can't make out what is it. He seems to be the least suffocating one from Takao's caroling (If you can call that proper caroling) out of the entire group of people, which just goes to prove my theory more.

And then on the single couches, you have a much more decent-looking butch. Hiroshi, and Brooklyn. Hiroshi is supposed to be Takao's big brother, but I don't see much resemblance especially not in the looks nor the personality, so nothing. Hiro, as he would like to be called, is much older than the group that's present, therefore, making him the best looking out the 18 people. He might actually come close to Kai, but that's just my opinion, shh, don't tell that to the loyal Kai-fans, they will torture and slaughter me.

Brooklyn, who is a major nature-lover, prefers to be out in the wild then stuck inside. And can you guess who he's boyfriend is? No drum rolls, please. It's Hiro! What a surprise (sarcasm, duh!).

Okay, I'm going to just stop with the long descriptions now, since I didn't take good looks at all the guests, as I have better things to do. The rest that was scatter around the living--and on Rei's arm--was Lee and Mao, from Rei's childhood, Hilary, a fan of Kai's and a friend, or an enemy of Takao's, depends.Selima, Osuma, Michael, Rick, Emily, Mystel, MingMing, Miguel and Mathild. Puh! That was a long list of names. And now, the reason why these people are here.

The Holiday Seasons.

How obvious is that? I mean, I've already tried to warn you at the beginning of this chapter, so no surprise there. Some are missing due to their own surprised visits. But all 18 of these guests randomly popped up in front of their front door, and now it's up to Tala and Rei and soon Kai, to improvise, yet again. This time though, much worse.

Tala had stared dumbfounded at the people who came in one after another.

/Major improvise needed. Improvise! Nothing can be worse than this… /

He turned to Rei, who was still trying desperately to prey the pink crazy girl off his arms.

/Okay, so maybe there is one, but…aw, man! And we though we were prepared. But for this/

He looked around the room. 18 people.

/What are they doing here/

We still haven't figured that one out Tala?

/Argh, I mean what are they doing here so early/

Oh, well, th—don't ask me! I don't know everything!

"Hi you guys, wanna hear Deck the Halls?"

"No!" 19 voices shout out, excluding Mao, since she's still…too busy.

"Alright, alright, geez, you people really lack Christmas spirit."Takao murmured to himself, before finally shutting up.

"Hi, can someone explain why all of you are here earlier than usual?"

"Oh, right, we almost forgot. We didn't call you because Mao wanted it to be a surprise."

Well, some surprise.

"And, we're here now because all of us have to return before Christmas, back home." The eldest of the butch continued on informing.

"Oh…"

"So we decided we could pay you guys an early visit!" Takao exclaimed in excitement, still being the baka that he is.

"Great!" Rei smiled nervously, "I'll just go and start preparing dinner than, Tala, could you keep our guests entertained." He pleaded to Tala silently, who pleaded to not leave him alone, but still got left with the guests, and Mao, who finally released Rei from her lovey dovey grip(More like a death grip to me),went to sit by the couches

"Well…um…when are you guys planning to leave?" He can only hope that his desperation didn't show through his voice.

"Oh, we're leaving the day after tomorrow." Mystel said, having no suspicion whatsoever.

"Sorry we can't stay for long, but all of us got to get back." Misunderstanding the reliefed look on Tala's face as disappointment, Michael apologized.

"Rei-rei! Me and Lee were thinking if you wanted to come back with us! I mean, school's out for 2 weeks right?" the girl's high-pitched voice did the job. Gave Rei the creeps, and shattered everyone's eardrums.

"Oh man…" the Asian said under his breath, and through the kitchen he replied, "I won't be able to, sorry Mao, I have a huge assignment due by the end of the winter holidays, and I gotta work on it"

"Oh, you poor thing…" again, she went on, feeling sorry for Rei, who really was relieved that he have this assignment, or it would be 2 weeks of blinding pinkness. Of course, he loved to visit his family and friends, but, he'd been doing that for every vacation that he'd gotten ever since he moved here to Japan 3 years ago.

"Hey man, where's Kai?" Michael had gotten around to ask.

"Oh, he should be back any minute now."

/And plenty pissed off…/

"Bet he's on one of his dates again." Rick smirked.

"Yeah, no duh."

"That guy is just living it." A small glint of admiration at the life Kai was having slipped through the baseball-player's words.

"I still don't think it's right to blow girls off like that!" Mao's eyes turned into the best glare she could have, which wasn't much.

Just at that moment, the doors to the house opened, revealing the said blunette. His eyes widened slightly at the sight of so many people, but nonetheless, it was only slightly. Kai took off his shoes and threw his keys onto the table that sat on the corner of the large closet, which is the first thing you step into from the entering the door, not the closets where you put clothes in, but rather a room where the shoes and the coats were taken off and put into place, before you step into the living room.

"Well, hi there Kai. How was your date?"

"Good, and may I ask just what you are all doing here?"

"Visiting man! Do you really think we weren't going to visit you guys?"Takao exclaimed again.

/I like it if you didn't…/

"Hn."

"Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow than." 9 people out of 18 were out the doors of the Hiwatari residence, prepared to head to their hotel for the night.

"C'ya!" The rest of them were to stay in the 2 guest rooms upstairs, of course sharing it.

"Oh holy night! The midgets' off tone singing! It is the sight of the porcupines! Oh, pi—"

"Takao!"

"Sorry…"

To Be Continued…
A/N: Well, pleasant. Like I said before, I know it's pass the holiday season, but I didn't think of this idea till after New Years…X3 forgive me. Anywhose, I hope that was more interesting…one of the reviewers wanted more action, so I'll try to that in the next few chapters…don't worry; this mop of people will disappear after the next chapter! And we can get back to some alone with our three most favorites. Trust me on this. So, send it whatever you want, flames even, but I did hear one reviewer say that she would never sent in flames even in hell, which is kind of ironic, hell but no flames…bhahaha…okay, you can just see my sanity slipping away. I will go before it completely escapes. Bye!
