Disclaimer: I don't own it.
A/N: Well, here it is, the final chapter. Also, I have decided not to write any new Beyblade stories. I will finish the stories that I have started and I have one new story to post, a long overdue birthday present for Devlinn-Reiko. I'm hoping to have all of my BB stories done by the end of the year. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Rei stared at Zane, eyes glowing slightly as his anger made itself present. "Care to explain to me why you're here five hours before you're supposed to work?"
The blonde stared shrugged, eyes downcast. "It's not what it seems like Rei." He seemed to reconsider his statement and he slowly raised his head to look the smaller man in the eyes. "Actually, I take that back. It is exactly what it seems like, and I'm the one that's been taking your money.
The taller man shifted slightly from foot to foot in guilt before continuing. "But, I promise that I didn't keep any of the money. Mr. Hiwatari took it all and put it in a special account. He didn't actually want you to go bankrupt. It was all part of a ploy that a couple of his friends came up with. They knew how he felt about you and were trying to help him. You'll get all of your money back and more, even if you decide that Mr. Hiwatari has no place in your life. Although, I can guarantee that he isn't going to let go of you without a fight."
The neko-jin rolled his eyes, feeling some of his anger drain out of him. "I could care less what Kai thinks he's going to do with me. He had no right to take my money from me, and if he thought that he was going to be able to win my affection by treating me like a high price whore, he was horribly mistaken. I'm going to castrate him and than use his money to fly to Russia and kill both Bryan and Tala. I can't believe those shits thought that this was going to work."
Zane stared at his employer, shock in his eyes. "How did you know it was them?"
Rei grinned, his eyes burning with a feral light. "Because they've always been Kai's best friends. And they're both unstable. Leave it to them to come up with such a stupid idea. Go home. I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to call the police and have your ass thrown in jail, but don't worry about coming in for the next several days."
He turned on heel and strode back to his office, trying to figure out how exactly he was going to mutilate Kai.
Rei pushed the huge double doors that hid the boardroom from the rest of the world opened and stopped when the eyes of all the board members turned to look at him, confusion evident in their eyes. He pointed at Kai who was standing at the far end of the table, watching him with a slight smirk. "You are a bastard! I can't believe you even thought this was going to work."
The tall Russian shrugged, the move causing his long body to move in a sinuous way that Rei had to admit looked decidedly sexy. "Not really, but Tala and Bry would have done it without my consent and I knew that if they ended up with your money you would never get it back and I didn't want you to suffer unduly. So I went along with their little plan."
The neko-jin sighed and slipped into the room the heavy doors falling shut behind him. "Of course, how stupid of me. Your intentions were nothing but noble. I can't believe that I ever thought that Kai Hiwatari, one of the richest men in the world was a complete and utter asshole."
At the indrawn gasps of all the men in the room at the neko-jin's comment Rei waved one hand through the air. "Can we do this without them. They've already got enough to go to any of the tabloids with."
Kai nodded in agreement. "Gentlemen, my partner wishes to speak with me. We'll continue this on Wednesday. Until then, I don't want to see or hear from any of you. Dismissed."
The men filled out of the room and the heavy doors swung shut behind the last once, slamming against the doorjamb with a final, ominous sound.
"Don't call me your partner! You have no right to sully that word. You've treated me as nothing more then a high priced WHORE for the past two months and I'm fucking sick and tired of it. I want my life back. I never want to see you again. I don't fucking care if you keep the money. Just stay away from me!"
Kai watched the neko-jin storm from the room, his long braid of swinging behind him. Once the door had slammed shut the Russian sank back into his leather chair, one hand scrubbing at his chin. "So beautiful."
Rei scratched behind Backstabbers ear, eyes wandering around his small apartment as he sat on his couch. After the three weeks he'd spent in Kai's penthouse his own home seemed small and boring in comparison. He tried not to think about the Russian much but sometimes it was hard not too, especially when he was at the store.
Backstabber nipped at his master's fingers, grey eyes half closed. The neko-jin stared at the kitten, golden eyes showing his fatigue. "Sometimes you remind me of him. You get that look like you own the world and you act like you're king."
He tugged at his braid, eyes falling shut in frustration. "God. I don't want to think of him anymore." With a long sigh he rolled onto his side, smiling slightly when the kitten hissed at him as he slid on to the floor." He drew one of the small pillows to his chest and curled around it, golden eyes falling shut. Sleep overcame him so quickly that he never noticed that Kai's name was the last thing he said as he plunged into darkness.
Kai stared down at the dark hair that spread over one of his pillows, pale fingers tangling in the long rough strands. Usually he didn't bring random people to his bed but the other man's long hair and sharp features had reminded him of Rei's and he hadn't been able to resist fucking the other man into the mattress. Hell, he'd even called out the neko-jin's name as he'd come. Luckily the other man hadn't been overly upset.
The other man groaned and slowly came awake, blue eyes focusing on Kai. "Hi."
The Russian stared down at the other man, feeling a slow anger build in his chest. He clambered out of the bed, the sheets falling from his pale skin and crossed the room to pull a pair of loose slacks from his wardrobe. He slipped into them before turning a cold, hard gaze on the other man. "Get. Out."
The dark haired man stared at the Russian. "Why? You said that I could leave in the morning."
Kai pulled a sleeveless shirt on, eyes never leaving the bed. "I lied. Now leave before I call security. I'll tell them you're trespassing and you'll spend the rest of the night in jail and probably longer. I'm sure your cellmates would love to know how easy you are."
He slipped on a pair of boots and grabbed his keys and wallet before leaving the room, not even waiting to see if the other man was moving from the bed.
At first Rei thought that the hot hands running over his stomach and chest were simply part of a dream but when one hand slid between his legs to cup his burgeoning arousal and warm fingers gently pinched his nipple he came awake to find Kai kneeling next to his bed, watching him with dark eyes.
They stared at each other for several minutes, Kai's hands never leaving the neko-jin's body. "I've missed you Rei. My bed and house are empty without you. Why did you leave? I know how you look at me, that you want me, my touch." The Russian leaned forward, lips brushing lightly against the corner of Rei's mouth, hands continuing to stroke the other man. "You can't hide how you feel about me. Come back."
Rei relaxed into the other man's touch, one hand curling into the hair at the nape of the Russian's neck. "Don't expect me to fall into your arms. You're a bastard and I have no doubt that you're just going to get worse as you get older. I don't want you meddling in my store no matter what, and I don't want you giving me money for no damn reason. I'm willing to try to be your partner, but if you start treating me like a whore again, I'm going to kill you.
The Russian smirked and kissed the neko-jin and straddled him, intent on claiming him for the first time as a partner rather then the whore he'd been treating the other man as for the past three weeks. With luck, then neko-jin would finally be able to admit that he loved Kai.
