Chapter Four: Kissing
(Aku: Title is not as it seems. Not happy! I repeat, ANGST!! I guess... it doesn't seem _so_ angsty to me. But then again, this is me... ^_^)
"Kai!!! What's wrong?!?!"
Snapping out of his trance, the loner's eyes seemed to gain the life back in them. He could feel the warm arms surrounding his body only to remember more of the past. The memories he thought he was over and had forgotten. But it was more of a wall of denial.
"Kai!!!! Please, say something!" The neko-jin was on the brink to a breakdown. His leader, the one who he in the back of his mind had feelings for, was not responding to his shaking. "Kai..."
Crimson eyes focused in on the pair of concerned yellow ones. The eyes grew into that of a face wrapped in a swirl of hair as the night sky. But who came into view was not Rei, but another. The eyes changed to a chocolate hue and the milky skin darkened. The face, slimmer and older.
"I-It can't be..." The phoenix's hand reached out touching the soft skin, freezing the neko-jin. His hand roamed from the cheek to the lips.
"K-Kai?" The feline, wide-eyed, stood still unsure if this was real. 'Please don't let this be a dream or that would be so damn cruel.'
Fingers trail along the top lip, then the bottom, and the hand trails up to the back of the head. Slowly undoing the confines of the cloth, the raven hair is spread freely across the tiger's back and shoulders. The phoenix's fingers gently stroke the silky strands with such caution as if they would disappear within his grasp.
The free hand went back to the lips and with the thumb, flicked the bottom lip gently opening it a crack. The neko-jin looked into the once cold eyes, but instead saw something new. It was too much though. So many new things that you couldn't keep track of them all.
"You came back.."
"What?" Rei's eyes stopped analyzing the leader's crimson ones. 'What's Kai talking about?'
"You came back... please... don't leave... not again..."
"Kai..." He looked at the soft plea of the phoenix. "Kai... I won't leave you..."
"Aishiteru..." Kai spoke softly, too soft to reach the ears of the raven- haired beyblader.
Both boys sat on the bed, one lost in his own mind while being held in the arms of another who does not know. It would have been a blissful scene if not for the confusion in one's mind and the illusion in the other.
An hour passed and the silence lulled the phoenix to sleep, but only such with no dreams and no visions of memories. No, there couldn't have been any. He lives his dream now. He lives the memory so long ago that shields his eyes from reality. It's only natural for one who tries to deny the heart-wrenching truth to be swallowed whole from it.
Loving cat-like eyes gaze down at the captain, savoring the moments of the child-like innocence radiating from the phoenix. Those glaring crimson eyes hidden leaving a naked face, having nothing to mask the true face. Well, that was the thought in the neko-jin's mind except it wasn't like that. The shadow from the moonlight spread across the blue-haired boy's face. But for now, the tiger accepted the gift he was given and only given to.
"Kai." Rei's hand gently stroked through the soft blue hair amazed at how perfect it seemed.
Realizing the time, Rei gently laid Kai down onto the bed, tucking him under the warm covers. He quickly kissed the resting hand of the phoenix and left without a sound. The night darkened and dreams come when one is asleep. But dreams are the same as nightmares...
~~Dream Sequence~~
"Hm?" Eyes wandered to the beautiful scene. A waterfall to his left and a forest overlapping the snow-covered mountains to his right. The water's gentle falling could put one into a trance. The sun filling your eyes, filling you ears. Yet, you cannot see it. This confused the boy, but he remembered.. this is a dream.
"But dreams are like nightmares. They do not heal and they do not protect."
"Huh?" Turning again to see a little girl wearing nothing, but white. Her hair of a lavender hue that glowed with innocence. "Who are you?"
"Dreams are lies. They show you your deepest desire, but you cannot have. They taunt you with their visions and make you bleed of old... memories." The girl smiled.
"...memories."
"Yes, memories. Dreams and nightmares do not differ. They are one." The girl said as she held a bright pink rose and creamy white rose in her hand. "See? They are still the same, even if you only see the color."
The girl happily skipped to the dreaming boy's side, placing both roses into his hands. "But we can make them the same. We have the power to and we will show everyone."
"What do you mean?"
The lavender-haired girl waved her hand above the roses, as the colors died to a dull gray. Kai's eyes widened at the lifeless flowers in his hands.
"They are now the same."
"Dreams and nightmares.. are the same."
"Now you have it. Want to see who you are the same to?"
The blue-haired boy nods and is pulled by his hand to the water. The girl kneels gesturing for her companion to do the same. Getting on his knees, he questions her in silent ways. No words spoken as the girl bends over close to the water. Almost close enough to taste. Doing the same, Kai bent over with open eyes watching as his reflection formed. Crimson eyes widen at the very sight.
"No..."
"Kai, that is who you are. You cannot escape it. That is what you always will be. It will always be the same... like roses." The lavender-haired girl said in such an emotionless tone as the gray roses in Kai's hand slipped to hit the water letting their color stain the water.
Gray began to spread, taking color and sound. No more sun filling your eyes. No more sun filling you ears because it is not there. No mountains of a beautiful white and no forest painted on top. No waterfall or sound of the water laughing. Just silence and gray.
"No... that's not me."
"Change will never happen. You are the rose." Her eyes stay unfocused as her voice fades in the gray. Her eyes shed two single tears as she falls to the ground... lifeless.
"No..." He stares at what is reflected. And what he sees is a child. The small boy looking back at him with unfocused eyes filled with sorrow and grief. The pain stabs deeper. His youth is still there, but he's aged too far. The pain stabs deeper. They come and watch; tears begin to fall from lifeless eyes. The pain stabs deeper...
In his gray world that was once so beautiful and pure, the rose fell, the color died, the girl cried... and the gray world... turned red.
~~Dream Sequence Over~~
Awaking another night, sweating more than usually, two crimson eyes filled with unspoken emotion. The tears slipped from those two eyes, falling in single drops. Down his face to be caught by air.
He didn't bother to wipe. Just stared with unfocused eyes and waited for his mind to take in and his body to adjust. The boy he saw was too far in the past, but he's come back. No, he was always here.
"I... am the rose."
Taking in a few deep breaths of realization, Kai got to his feet and opened the window. A fresh breeze blew in, but he couldn't savor the taste. He looked up at the black sky, but he couldn't see the stars.
"Red... my red world."
"Red, eh?" A smirk. "You see a lot of red, don't you, 'little one'?"
The phoenix visibly winced. He didn't turn knowing already who it was.
"Have to think a better name for you... hmmm... how about..." Lips came closer to his ear and whispered. "Koibito?"
Wanting distance between himself and the other, Kai quickly stepped away turning to come face to face with the person.
"A bit jumpy, are we?" Stepping out into the dim moonlight, an older guy with short hair coming down over his eyes grinned at his favorite 'toy'. (Aku: Uhhh... I guess this is an OC since I have no clue who could this be. Hmmm...
"You..."
In a few quick movements, the older of the two pinned Kai's wrist to the nearest wall, his face uncomfortably close for the phoenix.
"Bastard..." Kai hissed.
"Little boys shouldn't say such words." He smirked pushing his lips forcefully on Kai's. The shorter of the two struggled, but soon gave in and let him do as he pleased. "That's a good boy." He whispered as he claimed the boy's mouth as his own.
As the kiss ended, Kai was breathing heavily trying to regain his composure. The older of the two smirked and wrapped his arm around the slender waist. Kai tried to resist, knowing how hopeless it was, but he had to. He had to get away, even if it meant running. The grip tightened and Kai soon found himself lying on his back on the bed that seemed less comfortable than before.
"Now, now. Have you learned nothing? You will always be mine." His lips edged closer to the smaller boy's ear. "Because I know your bloody secret... what if the others were to know... what if everything you tried to protect... were to fall?"
Kai's crimson eyes widened in fear. Nothing, but fear. He had him. He had the perfect blackmail. There were no flaws. The perfect strings. Kai belonged to him.
