Lets hope this clarifies some things. I'm sorry that the last chapter was confusing, it made sense to me but that's just me. Yes this isn't like my regular stories but you know what this has been so much fun to write and hope you enjoy, also I should mention that if the plot seems familiar that's because I stole it from a movie. I forgot to mention that, though there will be some major obvious differences. Also there was problems with the page breaks so hopefully I fixed those and all that but I don't know for some reason it won't work no matter what I do.

Chapter Two
The Reality that Never Was

"Rei!" Kai shouted, jumping back so he fell from the bed, not being able to explain his emotion.

"Don't sound so surprised." Rei replied laughing.

"What the fuck are you doing in my bed?" Kai asked regaining his footing before hitting the floor.

"Your bed?" Rei responded sitting up and rubbing his eyes, pushing long locks of ebony from his face. "Since when did it become your bed?" He continued sounding slightly cross.

Kai just stared as the near naked man shook his head and rose from the bed, walking right past Kai to the bathroom.

"Kai you should really get some clothes on before Sakura wakes up." The golden eyed man laughed, taking one finger and tracing it down Kai's bare torso before shutting the door.

Kai waited until he heard the sound of the shower before falling back on the bed. What the hell was going on here? The last thing Kai remembered was an encounter with some trigger happy teen, then coming home, falling a sleep in his bed and now…

"Kai?" Rei called from the shower. "Will you get Sakura ready?"

And who the hell was Sakura?

Kai shook his head, this was a dream, that's it a dream, he'd wake up and be in his own bed, and laugh about this in the morning.

Waiting to wake up, crimson eyes studied the surroundings closely. The bed where Rei, and apparently he, had slept was ruffled with several layers of thin blankets. Already he missed his soft Egyptian cotton and satin feathered comforter. A chair sat in the furthest corner of the room where he noted Rei's clothing lay carelessly draped. Now Kai knew this was a dream, Rei had always been immaculate about keeping his area clean. A few pairs of boxers littered the floor along with stained cooking books and several pictures. In fact the only thing that seemed to hold any worth was the long silk scarf that hung safely on the back of the bedroom door, by a rickety window. No wonder it was so cold in there.

Standing up he walked over to the piece of fabric and brushed his fingers along it. Sighing he shook his head. This was just a dream. Rolling his eyes he let go of the scarf and studied the picture that unfolded from the window intensely. He looked outside at the dirt lawn, neighborhood trash houses and station wagon parked in he driveway. No, this was a nightmare.

Behind him the shower turned off. Thinking fast the blunette grabbed a pair of rugged jeans and a t-shirt from the floor and fled the room in search of some sort of transport to take him back to reality.

The best he had been able to find was the keys to the station wagon. This lead him from the suburbanite slums and towards the skyline of high towers and sky scrapers, the only world he really knew. ...

... Kai had driven frantically into the city, searching desperately for answers as he passed each street until at last he came to a destination. The car let out a loud sigh as he turned off the ignition and raced up the stairs throwing the keys to the valet parker.

"Pardon me, sir." The young man looked at the tarnished keys in his hand calling after Kai. "But you can't go in there."

Kai stopped dead, removing his hand from the door he had been about to open. "What do you mean?" He snarled.

"I mean you aren't allowed in there." The man replied trying to sound as polite as possible.

"I own this place." Kai responded before moving aside as employees shoved past him. "I'm Kai Hiwatari."

"I'm sure you are sir." The valet parker replied slightly exasperated.

"No I mean, the Kai Hiwatari." Though the blunette was beginning to feel at a loss for words.

"Well, the Kai Hiwatari, you can-"

"Vanita!" Kai shouted recognizing someone he knew in the crowd. "Vanita, can you please tell this man I own the business before someone gets fired."

"Are you talking to me? This is Shai Incorporation, I don't know what you ar talking about sir." Vanita replied scrunching her nose with disgust.

"You know who I am. I'm Kai Hiwatari." Kai cried out desperately.

"Kai? Oh I know you, aren't you that washed up beyblader my little brother used to talk about?" She responded before she shrugged and walked off. "And you might want to try some cologne," she added over her shoulder.

"Here you are sir," the valet man handed Kai back his keys and continued his life without alter. He carried on accepting the keys of rich business men that couldn't bother two words towards him.

Kai looked dejectedly up at the building, shook his and rubbed his temples.

"What the fuck is going on?" He mumbled before heading off down the street, rejecting the poor station wagon. ...

... "What the hell." He relayed to himself. "I went to sleep last night. I woke up this morning next to Rei. Who's a guy." Kai was trying to sor things out, ignoring the strange looks he got by passing people." Rei. Who I haven't seen him in ten years and all of a sudden he acts as if we are lovers. That was a long time ago. My company isn't mine. Where's my Porsche? I left the car. Fuck the car. Fuck this. Why Rei? I don't get it. I haven't seen him in ten years yet he acts as if-"

"As if you had never left him all that time ago." The "trigger happy" teen asked, pulling up in a silver Porsche next to Kai and rolling down the window."

"What the fuck, that's my car."

"Well its nice to see that you haven't stopped caring about material possessions," The teen replied a grin shying at the corner of his lips.

"Look kid, you have a name?" Kai growled pressing his hands on to the window edge and looking eye to eye at the driver.

"Why so you can write me up and call the police?" Jade eyes laughed mockingly.

"Look you sadistic fuckcase," he yelled grabbing the collar of the boys jacket. "Either you get out of my car right now or-"

"Or you'll call the authorities?" The "kid" laughed apparently not afraid of Kai's threats.

"Or I'll fucking-"

"Rip your balls off." Those evil grinning orbs of jade continued their amused laughter.

"Fuck!" Kai dropped his hands in defeat and stared at the ground resisting all urge to rub his temples.

"Left you speechless Kai?"

"How do you know my name?"

"The name is Jin. Jin Shai." The now named teenager told the disgruntled blunette. "And I only know you because you don't know yourself."

"What the fuck is that suppose to mean? I wish you'd caught the mumbo jumbo shit and get to your point!" Crimson eyes fired up as Kai stormed paces next to the car that had formerly belong to him.

"Kai," Jin told him bluntly, "you swear a lot."

"Only when little bastards like you make my life hell." Kai snarled, bring his gaze to meet the boy's when he remembered. "Jin Shai!"

"Yea."

"Shai Incorporations."

"Yea."

"That's my company."

"Not anymore, and neither is your life."

"How?"

"You regretted that I didn't kill you, didn't you? You felt cheated, you felt as if you had missed out on something. Did you want me to rape you? Defame you? Take away your life, right? You wanted me to do this."

"How do you get that?"

"Its in your eyes." Jin replied. His own eyes had lost their amusement and now appeared cloaked in a veil of serious sincerity. " I know this and that is how." Jin looked away before he returned his gaze to Kai. "And now I have done you a favor, be grateful, not everyday does someone come along and offer to right all your wrongs."

"That's what you call it." Kai sighed and leaned against the car so he was facing away. "So can I have my life back?" Laughter responded in his ears as he felt his "wall" move away from the curb.

"Remember though Kai, this is a glimpse, just an idea of what would have been." The jaded eyed man laughed and considered something briefl before shaking his head. "Good bye Kai, enjoy this life for it may be the last I'm willing to offer." Jin waved and rolled up the window leaving Kai alone on the curb to choose his fate. ...

... "Where the fuck am I suppose to live?" Kai had been searching for two hours for the house that Rei lived at. After his second run in with the jaded eye youth, now known as the devil, as far as Kai was concerned, he had retrieved his "car," if that is honestly what it could be referred to as, and stopped by his apartment, only to be thrown out by security.

Now came the searching from one house to the next which all appeared the same except for the levels of graffiti that marked one place from the other. How was he suppose to find a house he had hardly even seen before? Finally utterly exhausted he stopped the car and fell against the steering wheel. It wasn't until the rapping at his window came did he look up.

"Kai!" A voice shouted happily. "Gods, Rei will be so happy. You had him worried sick Kai."

"Tyson?" Kai asked wearily, hardly recognizing the navy haired man.

"Come on Kai you should be going home." Tyson laughed.

"Where did you come from?"

"Are you feeling alright Kai? My house is right there." Tyson pointed behind him to a trashy brown house.

"Oh right." Kai replied not really caring.

"Are you sure you're feeling alright? Why don't you come in for a drink?" Tyson asked rubbing his arms from the cold.

"Yea." Kai smiled the idea of a glass of vodka seemed very appealing, or maybe he was more in the mood for a martini. A shot of tequila? Kai parked the car and followed the man into his "house."

"I found Kai!" Tyson shouted leading Kai into the kitchen. Kenny, Max and Bryan sat in the den absently watching the static channels on a small T.V.

Opening the fridge Tyson tossed Kai a beer which the blunette just barely caught before pulling out two others handing one to Bryan and opening one for himself.

Kai looked at the mahogany bottle with disappointment. Beer, the alcohol of failures, he sighed to himself before making the best of a bad situation and draining half the bottle in one swig, not even bothering to wonder how Bryan had become roommates with Tyson, Max, and Kenny.

"Where have you been all day?" Bryan asked not looking up from the show he had all of a sudden gained intense interest in.

"Catching up on the past." Kai replied falling into a patched arm chair. "Where did you get this furniture Tyson," Kai asked absently forgetting for a moment the circumstances. "The junk yard?"

Tyson looked at him curiously before laughing. "You Kai. Remember Rei saved up all his tip money for a year to buy you guys the stuff you have."

"Tip money?" Kai asked, briefly figuring that Rei had obviously succeeded in becoming a chef.

"Yea, serving doesn't get much money." Max replied to the comment.

"Stupid rich bastards too. With all their money you think they could tip better." Tyson was obviously angry with the topic, so Max led him off it.

"I'm going to call Rei and tell him everything is Okay." The blonde boy told his friends before searching for the phone.

"It's alright I'm going home anyway." Kai decided still wrapped around the thought that Rei was a server and not a chef. That had always been his dream. What had happened?

"Okay." Tyson shrugged, "but don't forget about Saturday."

"The reunion?" Kai asked suddenly overcome by everything that day.

"What reunion?" Tyson laughed. "Everyone is coming by for the party remember, don't tell me you forgot. Oh I so know someone who won't get laid for a while." Everyone laughed, to which Kai quickly turned away not wanting anyone to see his crimson cheeks. Leaving the empty bottle in the sink he stormed from the house.

What had happened? Everyone had had a future and now…

"Kai!" Crimson eyes turned to hear his name called, as the familiar amber eyed man rushed towards him. "Kai where have you been?" Rei called to him before Kai felt the pressure of a shaking man in his arms. "I've been so worried about you." Kai felt dampness on his neck as Rei nuzzled the Russian lovingly, thought it wasn't until Kai felt a tug on his jacket did he realize that Rei had brought someone with him.

"Daddy, where have you been?"


Yes I know Kai and Rei should never have children and I once swore I'd never write about it but at least let me point out that she is adopted. And there is a point to Bryan being in the story so don't think just randomly stuck him in. Anyway please read and review and feel free to comment.
