Summary: Kai is Rei's new stepbrother and Rei finally knows the abuse Kai goes through, since the neko is now suffering the same treatment. When the two boys come to school one day beaten, how will Takao and Max react?

Pairings: Kai/Takao, Max/Rei

Note: Rated R for violence and possible lemon scenes. This is a yaoi so if you don't like guy on guy get out now.

As golden sunshine found it's was into the two slumbering boys eyes, Rei and Kai slipped out of their beds and got ready for school. Kai stared in the mirror at his bruised face. He had never been beating in the face before, but now that he had what could he tell his friends? Well Kai was lost in thought, a knock came at the bathroom door. Without Kai's answer, the door open and Rei stepped in.

" What's up?" Rei questioned. Kai shrugged and redid his face painted triangles. He hoped that the triangles would cover the bruises, but no such luck.

"We should go. We'll be late for school if we don't..." Kai said, helping Rei with his hair wrap. Rei, with the help of the crutches, and Kai slowly walked to school. Kai was carrying both of their backpacks since Rei had a handful with the crutches. Anyone could tell Rei had never used crutches because he was having tons of problems. Soon the rest of their beyblading team joined the teens.

" Dude, Rei... Kai what happened?" Takao's voice filled their ears.

" Well... umm... I was playing soccer and...umm... Kai's face got in the way of the ball... yeah... heh heh," Rei smiled.

"So how'd you get your leg all mangled?" Max asked with sweetness coaxing his voice.

"Well I umm..." Rei started.

"I got mad at him for him for the bruises and kicked him a little too hard in the leg and it broke..." Kai filled in hoping that they bought his story.

" Dudes you two need to be nicer to each other," Takao said.

"Heh I guess you're right but I think we are now," Rei smiled fumbling with the damn crutches.

"Rei do you need some help?"

"It's ok Kai... I'm fine no worries," Rei smiled but right as he did, his one of his crutches tripped over a rock causing him to fall on to poor little Max.

"Rei you ok?" Max asked worried.

"Ow I'm f-fine," Rei blushed as Kai helped him up, "I should be asking you that Maxy. Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Hey I forgot, do you guys wanna stay over to my house on Wednesday since we don't have school on Thursday and Friday? My parents are gone over the week and I thought you guys would wanna come over?" Max said with a cute smile finishing it off.

"Kai and I will be there..." Rei said sweetly with Takao nodding in agreement.

They got to school and for a good ten minutes of every class got millions of questions about what happened.

The next two days went by relatively fast for Kai and Rei since their dad was gone the whole time and before they knew it, it was Wednesday night and they were at Max's place.

"Hey Rei... can I talk to you upstairs?" Max asked.

Rei nodded and the two left. Leaving Takao alone with the object of his desire.

"So Kai can I ask you something?" Kai nodded, "Do you have a crush anyone at school?"

" Yeah..." Kai stated.

" Who?"

"None of your business."

"But Kai—"

"No!"

" While I know someone who likes you."

" Who?"

"Not telling until you tell me who you like." Takao smirked and Kai sighed.

"I don't care that much.... Takao? Who do you like?"

" M-Me... while I like...." Takao blushed, "Kai I-I like you. I like you a lot. Maybe even love... wait I know it's love."

With out warning Kai's lips crashed into Takao's, leaving Takao in a state of confusion. Soon Takao was kissing back and loving every second of it. But all good things come to an end and soon the two parted for breath.

"I l-love you too Takao."

Kai and Takao shared one last kiss before Rei and Max came back with smiles on their faces.

A/N: How was that? There is a possibility that the next two chapters will be lemons but I'm not sure. I won't be updating for a week or two 'cause I've got some evil classes and teacher who insist on giving TONS of tests. So sorry.
