Disclaimer: I don't own.

A/N: This is a horribly short update but it's better then nothing. It's the week before finals and I should be studying but I felt like working on this.


Kai smirked; glad to see that Rei wasn't letting Groffman push him around. He handed his wine glass to a passing servant, wanting to talk to Groffman. The man was going to pay for even talking to Rei, let alone touching him.

The Russian knelt in front of the other man, mahogany eyes deadly cold. "Groffman. I think Rei's warning was rather effective but I'll add my own. Touch him again, and you will cease to exist." He got back to his feet and slipped out of the room, wanting to find his wayward neko-jin.


Rei leaned against the dark paneling in the hallway, trying to calm his breathing. He hadn't meant to hit Groffman. There was just something about the old man that disgusted him.

"I must say kitten. That was an impressive display."

The neko-jin jerked his head up to find Kai looking at him, mahogany eyes bright. He straightened up and clenched his hand in the robe, hoping that the Russian wouldn't say anything to piss him off.

"I didn't mean to. It's just he's so disgusting."

The slate haired Russian nodded and took a step closer, his hand reaching out to brush across Rei's cheek. "I know. He's a corpulent pig who believes he owns the world and that anything of beauty should worship him."

His free hand gently smoothed across the back of Rei's hand before gently unclenching his fingers. He moved closer, effectively trapping the neko-jin against the wall. With a smirk he bent his head to rest his forehead against the other man's, their lips barely touching. "Don't worry Rei. I won't let him press charges. I own almost all of the police, and if he happens to get one of the ones I don't own, then I'll simply have to get you a lawyer. After all, I can't have my pet getting into trouble. It wouldn't be seemly."

Rei shuddered, although he didn't know if it was because of his anger at the Russian or the fact that Kai was so close that the neko-jin was surrounded by his scent and could feel the rise of his chest. "I'm not your pet Hiwatari. If it weren't for my store I would never have seen you again."

Kai's smirk widened and he stroked the neko-jin's side, mahogany eyes bright. "You're wrong Rei. Even if your little store wasn't having a problem I still would have come. I'm used to getting what I want and you weren't going to be any different. You belonged to me from the first day you joined my team. I managed to keep from doing anything stupid all those years ago, but now, I don't have to worry about anybody scolding me. Not when I own the world."

The shorter man glared at the Russian, golden eyes bright. "You're insane. No one can rule the world."

"You're very wrong kitten. Whoever controls the supply to the consumers rules the world and I own a small part of every sucessful company in the world." The Russian brushed a soft kiss over the neko-jin's slightly parted lips, noticing the slight hitch in his breathing. His hand slid to the small of Rei's back and with a slight pull he had the neko-jin pressed against him. "Come Rei, you can't tell me you don't want to have the world."

The neko-jin closed his eyes, trying to ignore the heat radiating off the hard body he was pinned to. "I don't want the world. I want to go back to my store and never have to see you again."

Kai laughed the sound low and deep. "Don't lie to me Rei. I can feel how badly you want the power." His mouth moved along the neko-jin's cheek, brushing soft kisses along the soft tan skin. He tugged at the bottom button of Rei's robe, smirking when several of the buttons popped free.

"And I know you want me Rei. I cold see it the first day we meet. You want to be owned." His lips trailed along Rei's cheek and down his neck where he scraped his teeth along the tan skin.

The neko-jin moaned, one hand coming up to clutch the Russain's shirt. He knew that egging the taller man on was wrong but he couldn't help. Yes, he'd wanted Kai when he first saw him but only until he'd realized how much of a prick the other blader was.

However, Kai seemed hell bent on making him forget that.
