Insanewelshangel: Ah, an update that didn't take forever! I must be getting better. I'm not going to keep you waiting, just read the chapter X3 ♥

Disclaimer: Hello, I'm a disclaimer, an utterly worthless thing that you're all required to use to state 'That Beyblade belongs to and is copyright of Aoki Takao' Fear the disclaimers, we shall one day rule your literature, muahahaha.

Just don't ask. : P

Bold…. Writing in song. Kai and Tala singing.

Normal…writing in song, Kai singing

Italic…writing in song, Tala singing. (Only for second song shown)


Kai walked back and fore across the room. Nodding to himself. Then he glanced at the desk where a small silver notebook was laying, open and ready to use. He sighed and shook his head before beginning to pace again. He could do this. He had written songs before, great one's even. So why was this so god damned hard? Maybe it's time to write that song you've mentioned

"Yes Tala!" He hissed lowly as the redhead's voice ran through his head "But it's not that easy"

He flung himself into the chair in front of the desk and sighed in agitation. "You was my rock, the one that would take it all from me. You was my death and my somethingness, you …something, something" He sang before screwing up his face "Noooo, that won't do!"

He picked up the black pen. A Faber-Castell one. It was actually an artist's pen that he would draw with. But it was his favourite pen so he was using it to write with. Taking off the lid, he placed the nib of the pen to the paper, watching the ink slowly soak the white page before taking it away. 'Indian ink, eh? Waterproof' He read the description on the pen. 'If it's waterproof then it won't smear when I do this' He stuck one of his finger's into his mouth and withdrew it. He wiped the finger over the ink and scoffed "Cheap thing." Actually the pens weren't cheap at all. But he was bored enough to be drastic.

Kai made a face, realising he had spit on his finger. He reached back and wiping it off on someone's jacket. He wasn't sure whose it was though. With that done he ripped the tainted page out, chucked it behind him and picked up his pen again.

This was no way to write a song. He had to get a feel for what he was writing first of all, and then write. Tala had given him strict order's not to come out of the room until he was finished. But Kai thought getting a drink or a bite to eat wouldn't hurt. Getting from his seat, and letting the pen clatter onto the desk, Kai cautiously opened the dark mahogany door and looked around. Knowing Tala he would have stationed Max, Tyson and Bryan to guard the room. Thankfully finding no one, Kai stepped out of the room, smirking to himself as he closed the door behind him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"God! Tala don't sneak up on me like that!" Kai smiled, trying to act innocent and change the subject. It wasn't working.

"Come on Blue, you're sneaking out aren't you?"

Kai widened his eyes; hands clasped behind his back as he looked offended "Me? Me, sneaking out! Well, I'm disgusted and appalled by such an acquisition! I would never do that-"

"Kai"

"-and here I thought you trusted me. Guess I was wrong-"

"Kai"

"-after all these years and you just turn around and accuse me of sneaking out of the room, when I'm obviously not-"

"KAI!"

"What, you only have to say once Tal' jeez!"

"If you're not sneaking out, why are you outside of the room?"

Kai blinked "I saw a rat"

"Oh right you saw a-You saw a what?"

"Yeah" The bluenette whistled "Big one. Had …purple spots and everything. Vicious looking thing-"

"Kai"

"Yes?"

"Get back in the room"

The younger Russian huffed, closing the door behind him. He slid down the mahogany door "Nice Going Hiwatari" He mumbled to himself

"And I better hear the sound of your pen working away in there" The redhead called before walking away. Kai stuck his tongue out at the door and moved his mouth so he was mimicking Tala before he sighed.

Gods he was bored. Plus he wanted out of the room. "Time for plan 2" He smirked, getting up and walking over to the window

XPXPXP

"How's he doing?" Bryan questioned, lightly running his thumb along the edge of his bass.

"He just tried to sneak out"

"Again?" Max laughed "I caught him earlier on, said that Mr Black was ill so he wanted to help out. Idiot as he is, everyone knows he cannot get ill"

"Seeing as he's actually a plushie," Tyson added

Max glared at him "No, he's much more then that. And you don't want to push your luck with him" The blond added darkly.

Tyson looked at the older two that looked just as awkward as he did. Stuck between being freaked out and exhausted.

"So why have you trapped and locked him up?"

"Because, Bryan he has to write this song. It's the one song he's always promised himself to write. Seeing as that cutie Rei is now in the scene and they love each other. It's the perfect time!"

"It's all a fairytale in that head of yours isn't it?"

"Yes" Tala nodded.

"And Bryan's prince charming" The Japanese laughed.

"I wouldn't call that charming" Max joined in.

"Shut up!" The redhead blushed. Bryan pretended not to have heard anything as he looked at his fingernail, incredibly interested in it all of a sudden. The youngest two continued laughing at the blush and the painfully obvious way that Bryan heard them but was ignoring it

"How do you know what Rei looks like anyway?"

"Um…."

"Tala! Have you been spying….?"

"No!" Using the same offended voice and disgusted face that Kai had used on him "As if I would do a thing like that-"

"Tala"

"Hm?"

"We're not buying it"

"Crap."

Max scoffed lighting, rolling his blue eyes. He looked towards the window and his jaw almost hit the floor. "K-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-!"

"What's he trying to say?"

"Dunno"

"Max?"

"K-k-k-k-k-k-k-!" The blond pointed to the window. "Kai!"

"KAI HIWATARI!" Tala shouted, running to the back door to catch his friend who was already running across the garden in an effort to escape. The door contacted with the wall loudly and the redhead shouted at Kai, who had turned around muttered a curse word and stared running faster.

XPXPXPXP

"Noooo! Let me go, you…you…blonde's!" Kai cried in protest as his friends dragged him to the seat with the desk by it.

"Hey!" Max said indignantly "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Worst insult I could come up with" Kai smirked. Max opened his mouth to retort but Bryan gave him a stern look.

"Right then Hiwatari, Welcome to Ivanov's bootcamp" The redhead grinned evilly, tapping a ruler on one of his hands.

"Did you have to tie me to the chair?"

"No, but you look very submissive" Tala smirked, running his eyes over Kai "Maybe we should leave you like that"

"Bite me"

"Now, now Kai. This will be less painful for all of us if you just cooperated"

"How am I supposed to write with my hands tied?"

"Good point. Use your mouth, you're good at that" Catching the looks he received Tala shook his head "No! I meant as in back talking, you filthy minded beggars!"

"You didn't say that last week, babe" Kai grinned in what could only be described as a satanic way.

"Kai, shut up for a second. If you didn't go all 'The Great Escape' on us then we'd all be happier wouldn't we, hm?"

Bryan rolled his eyes but nodded in agreement, Tyson also agreed and undid Kai's bindings while Max was still in a huff with the youngest Russian. Tala dismissed them and bent beside Kai, who turned his head away from him.

"Kai, come on"

The bluenette pursed his lips and looked at the ceiling.

"Please, I'm not meaning to be horrible but it's better if you get it done"

Kai looked down at him and nodded glumly "But I'm not in the mood to write a song like that. I've been trying for years, there's no point just sitting me down and telling me to do it now"

"Well I know something that might help"

"What's that?"

"Just think about how he made you feel, what he did, what he said. Love, hate, crying, smiling. Anything, just as long as you're able to sort it all out. Kai, my little hunny bun" He grinned manically "I only want the best for you. Rei is that. He's the best because he loves you, and you love him, no matter what you say I can tell that. It's the most sensitive topic you'll ever have to discuss, then you can be with Rei and be happy"

"Thanks Tala. But seeing as we're having this cute little heart to heart" The bluenette smirked "Since you're lecturing me about love" Tala groaned, he knew what was coming "How about you tell Bryan how you feel?"

"We're not talking about me, we're talking about you" The redhead changed the subject swiftly, placing a hand on Kai's shoulder. "Kai if you can't write it then that's fine, but at least think it over"

The younger nodded and Tala smiled, ruffling the blue hair fondly before walking out of the room. Kai sighed and picked up his so-called waterproof pen and jotted some things down. Just thoughts.

Right. I have to put at least something. Well, he was everything to me. All I ever wanted was for him to love me. I burned for that affection, I wanted to feel special in his eyes. But, I never was. I never will be. I did everything and anything for that one man who I gave my heart to. This already sounds like a damn song. I practically gave my life for him. Just because he wanted me to, I started on drugs. I suppose I got the buzz and the thrill and everything people say they are. Including when the effects wore off. That felt like utter crap, but it was never as much hell as the fact that he still didn't give his heart to me. He was the drug I was addicted to, the real ones…cocaine, ecstasy, heroin…they were just toys I used to help me get closer to him. Biggest mistake I've ever made. It never changed anything. Except that things went worse. He'd go out on his own a lot of night's, getting drunk. I'd stay up all night wondering if he had someone else, some one special, or if he was hurt.

What was my reward?

Getting beaten. Getting fucking beaten!

Then in the morning, when drugs or beer's effect had gone, and if he was in a pleasant enough mood. I saw him, the real him. There he was, the man I had fallen in love with. He'd tut at me and bandage my wounds, holding me to his chest so I could feel his heartbeat. They were the moments I lived for. Every sacrificed that I made up until then was worth it. And I knew, I would do it again. Just so he would hold me to his chest, so I would feel special.

That's all I ever wanted off him. All I ever wanted was to feel loved, to feel special and to feel alive.

Kai threw his pen from him and got up, knocking the chair over in the process; the tears were already streaming down his face as he remembered it all. "This is frickin' useless! Tala and his stupid ideas!" He spat, angry with himself, he harshly brushed away the tears, glaring at an innocent wall as he did. He then collected his things, walked out of the room, pretended that the suggestion worked fine and left it at that.

XPXPXPXP

"He's hot and he knows it la la la la!" Rei sang, dancing around his apartment out of boredom. Shifting his hips from side to side, turning in a circle "Everyone knows it! La la la la!" His wrapped hair followed lazily behind him, drifting over his hip very now and then "Sexy, sexy maaaaan!" Then he jumped up onto his sofa, rebounding back off it and twirling in the air before landing in a crouched position on the floor. He picked up a hairbrush and sang into it, grinning widely as he suppressed laughter "Yeah, sexy maaaaaan!" He stood up, one hand in the air as he kept swaying side to side. He laughed however when he caught sight of his Driger plushie.

He didn't know why he choose that moment to laugh, but that's what boredom did to people. He plopped himself down onto the chair and picked Driger up. "You think I'm mental don't you?" He put on his deeper voice "You're talking to a plushie, what the heck do you think?" Rei's voice returned to normal again. "I think Kai is a sexy maaaaan!" He laughed before returning to singing his 'La la la la's'

The neko-jin got up and danced to his bedroom, switching to a music channel on the TV. A grin settled over his mouth as "Dance, dance, baby" came on. Now that was a song to dance to when unbelievably bored. He turned it up and clapped his hands happily as the music started up. He started jumping around, head bobbing back and fore and twirled around.

Tonight,

It will be

Just you and me

Yeah baby

Let's dance

Till the nightfalls.

"Yeah!" Rei spun around into his bedroom, jumping up and down to the beat, grabbing random pieces of clothing off the floor and dancing over to his laundry basket. He ended up clapping every now and then, jumping then taking two steps back with his head turning left and right. He jumped again and placed another piece of clothes in the basket.

Dance, dance baby!

Through the morning light

Dance, dance baby!

Till the sunrise

Just being with you feels right

Dance, dance baby

Dance, dance baby.

Hello, it's me, the one forgotten

Spread your wings of grey

Dance to the beat

And I will make them shine again

Hello, what's wrong? Don't you

Recognise me? I will take your

Smile and paint it through the sky

When you go my music fades

And my dancing is no more

So baby for just one more night

Dance until the sunlight!

Rei laughed and sang along to the words, he knew how stupid he must look but he was past caring. He sang the chorus again, laughing happily and doing a quick dance routine he had learnt; dancing was how he kept fit. Some people worked out or ran five miles everyday but where was the fun in that? Rei would much rather laugh while exercising. He threw both hands up in the air, doing a quick step with his feet and twirled. He smirked to himself wondering if Kai would like him to do a dance for the bluenette. What kind of dance, you decide, who knows what that Chinese is thinking.

Meanwhile Tala was spinning Kai around as they walked up the stairs to Rei's home. The music was loud enough for them to hear, and of course the redhead couldn't resist the upbeat song. The younger Russian rolled his eyes but was smiling none the less. Tala started walking/dancing backwards up the stairs, twirling his arms around each other and swinging them around erratically. Kai kept his comment about the redhead's dancing to himself, opening his mouth to say something before Tala's eyes suddenly went wide and he grabbed onto Kai's shirt as he tripped over a stair.

"WAH!"

"Tala!"

"Ok, knickers on home boy, calm down. I know you're dying to see your kitten but control yourself."

"Me, control myself? You're the one doing a tango up the stairs"

"Tch! Kai, please, the tango is sooo five minutes ago, this is the Dance of Desire! I know you want me!" Tala winked, snickering to himself as he brushed himself down and continued up he stairs. The music had stopped, either because the song had finished or Rei realised how loud it was. Tala pouted slightly and shoved Kai into an open cupboard and closed it on him as the bluenette mocked his pout.

"Tala! Open the door!"

"Not until you apologise!" Tala smirked, leaning against the door and inspecting his fingernails calmly. The redhead placed a hand over his mouth to control his laughter as he heard a loud bang emit from behind the closed door and Kai's swearing about a mop. He looked up as an ebony haired boy passed him and smirked, looking him up and down.

Rei glanced at Tala and raised an eyebrow. There was someone now leaning against a door, one hand resting on a hip, with a brown trench coat, sunglasses and a hat on, staring at him. "Uh, can I help you?"

Tala pushed himself off the door and gave a charming smile "A fine thing like you could do a lot for me" He flirted. Rei gave a weak smile in return and continued walking away to the laundry room. Tala leaned his head to the side and grinned wolfishly as he watched Rei's backside and let out a low whistle.

The Chinese male spun around and frowned. The disguised person suddenly hit the door as a mumble came from it "Are you in need of mental help?"

Tala stood up straight and clenched his fists "No!" He said offended, before grinning again "Unless you're offering"

"No, I already have someone so you might as well quit while you're ahead" Rei smirked back.

"Damn, lucky ass, who's this 'someone' then? Or are you just playing hard to get?"

"None of your business" Rei smiled, laughing as the stranger kicked the floor and crossed his arms childishly.

"Well!" Tala grinned, waving one of his hands "I have someone to! And what a fine someone they are!"

"Good luck with that"

"My, we are popular sexy creatures aren't we? Loving the underwear by the way" Tala said, nodding to a pair of Rei's boxers with little tiger's on them. The neko-jin flushed red and quickly walked off, leaving Tala to suppress laughter once again. He nodded to himself "I like that guy"

"Tala, if you have finished being rejected could you let me out?" Kai called, sitting on an upturned bucket, glancing at a green mark on the wall suspiciously.

Instead of freeing him, the redhead went in and sat on Kai's lap instead "Sorry but I was trying to …uh…Kai what does your little kitty look like?"

The bluenette's eyes widened and he placed his arms around his hips protectively.

Tala laughed "No, not that. I meant Rei!"

"Long black hair, golden eyes, Chinese background and a gorgeous smile, why?"

"………………………..No reason. So" Tala smiled, changing the subject "Why are you still here?"

"You're sitting on me Red"

"Oh. Now Kai, when you see Rei I want you to take him into your arms, kiss him passionately and tell him I never meant to flirt with him!"

"You what?" He glared up into the crystal clear, blue eyes that widened into a puppy dog look. Reluctantly, Kai rolled his eyes and nodded. "I'm kinda worried"

"Ahh, hun, my little fluffy muffin sugar pie dumpling candy" Tala cooed, ruffling Kai's hair as he grinned in a satanic way at all the pet names "Listen, you two love each other. Nothing can change that, I promise you. No matter what happened in the past, you can tell him"

"Hypocrite" Kai smirked.

XPXPXP

Rei opened his door, nonplussed to find Kai standing there "Hi!" He smiled, opening the door wider.

Kai smiled back then Tala leant over him and rested his head on Kai's shoulder with a big grin "Hello kitty"

Rei blinked, looking from Kai to Tala "Uh, hello"

"Kai you were right, he's really cute" Tala smirked. The younger Russian glared at him. "What? He is. Got a very nice bum as well. I bet you can't wait to ride tha-"

"This is Tala, the redheaded idiot" Kai cut across, placing a hand quickly over his best friends mouth.

"Oh!" Rei looked the redhead up and down "I didn't recognize you under all that…stuff"

"Master spy ware" The wolf said, tipping down his large sunglasses and pulling his hat further down. Kai stared straight ahead, waiting for him to finish. "Sorry about earlier, kitty. But you are simply gorgeous" He done a flowery bow and brought Kai down with him since his arm was still around the bluenette and he was behind Kai. The younger Russian pushed him off after Rei blushed, due to the position the two were in. "Anyway, you two should get together already"

"E-excuse me?"

"You're excused. Anyway, you two are made for each other, plus you look down right hot together if you're ever making a movie where you two get down and dirt-"

"Tala!"

"What? Oh I was on about a gardening movie, I do not know what you were thinking Kai, babes" He flashed his blue eyes to Rei "See? He's thinking about doing you already"

"………….." Kai hid his blush behind his bangs.

"………….." Rei tried covering his embarrassment with a tanned hand but failed.

Tala suddenly smiled and walked off "I'll wait for you down here Kai, hurry up and say goodbye to your gorgeous boyfriend" He cackled out before disappearing.

Kai laughed awkwardly "Ignore him, he needs his medication, he's jumping to conclusions all the time"

"That's ok" The neko-jin smiled, leaning against the doorway still red faced "Do you want to come in?"

"Only for a while" Rei let him in and they walked to the Kitchen together "I came to say that I won't be around for a while. Have to go do some live music."

"Ok, that's fine with me, have a good time" The ebony haired boy smiled wider, but he hated it really. How long did Kai have to go away for? Couldn't he just stay here? Rei knew he couldn't obviously but he'd miss the Russian too much. "It will fly by, besides it's not like we are…you know" Rei stated, unable to say 'dating'

"Yeah, but um…well…you see" Kai stammered over his words, remembering Tala telling him to finally let Rei know how he truly felt. Rei's mouth went dry and hope light up in his eyes. "You're right, it will fly by. Do you have an email address?"

The neko-jin nodded and scribbled it down on a scrap piece of paper before handing it to Kai, smiling as their hands brushed. Kai smirked and ripped a piece of the paper off and gave Rei his own. "I won't be on much though, I have to go to the Internet café down town to use it. So how did you end up coming here when you're busy?"

"I wanted to say goodbye"

"That's sweet of you" Rei murmured, cheeks reddening due to the attention "I'll just have to watch you on TV"

"As long as you don't mentally undress me"

Rei grinned, a white fang slipping over his bottom lip "You take all the fun away don't you. Besides I wouldn't know where to begin"

"Well, I'm mentally undressing you right now and I can't say I'm disappointed with what I see"

Rei blushed bright red and grabbed a pillow, smacking Kai across the arm with it for embarrassing him. The bluenette laughed and raised an eyebrow.

"But I still bet the real thing looks better"

Rei blushed deeper and got another pillow, throwing it at the Russian who ran around the settee from him. Rei followed him, laughing as Kai raised his forearm's to take the padded hits. When Rei delayed hitting him, he moved forward and they both toppled onto the sofa. Kai smirked down at him and quickly grabbed Rei's hands to pin them above his head. Rei felt giddy from the contact, as Kai was bending low enough for his breathe to tickle Rei's neck, plus he was in a peculiar position. As in straddling the neko-jin, while smiling evilly about it.

"Now I have you"

The bluenette slid his hands down Rei's arms with soft whispering touches. Rei tried hard not to close his eyes from the soothing actions. Instead he looked up through half lidded eyes into Kai's crimson one's, but they were following the movements of his hands. He slid his hand back up, stretching against Rei's hand before intertwining their fingers. With his other hand he traced the outline of Rei's face. The Chinese boy gave in and closed his golden orbs, feeling Kai's hand travel down his neck, one finger brushing against the smooth skin. He ran his thumb along Rei's on the hand that was grasping his own.

Daringly, Rei moved his free arm, opening his eyes as he brushed a blue bang from Kai's face. He then moved down the Russian's cheek and traced his fingers over the tender lips. Kai lowered his blood-like orbs to look at the hand before kissing the finger's very, very softly. Rei suddenly felt hot, as in his body was heating up. He knew his breathing had become more deep, but not noticeable enough for Kai to notice. Most of all, it was that awareness of how much he wanted to press his lips against the elder's. He moved his hand from Kai's lips and slowly ran them down his neck, and even slower travelling down his chest. Kai looked straight into Rei's golden orbs. But the neko-jin couldn't make heads or tales or what he saw in the twin orbs of red.

Rei closed his eyes again; using every ounce of willpower he had to stop himself becoming aroused, even if Kai's actions were sensual he'd be mortified if the bluenette felt that. The Russian started stroking a part of Rei's neck, the neko-jin emitted a purr against his own desperation. Kai smirked and lowered himself even more. He made sure he had hold of both of Rei's hands in just one of his and whispered in Rei's ear, his cheek brushing against the neko-jin's.

"I'm going to miss you, Rei"

Said person swallowed hard and turned his head so their skin would sweep past the others. God, how Kai was taunting him. Those desirable lips not far from his own, and he couldn't even move. He felt a cold hand against the hot skin of his stomach as Kai moved his free hand under Rei's shirt. The clash of heat and frost made it all the more better for the neko-jin, painfully aware of just where Kai's hand was and what it was doing.

"Kai..." He breathed, wanted to scream out for a kiss.

The bluenette had ran his hand's over the neko-jin's chest, his index finger leaving lasting movement's on the tanned skin, before his hand got lower and lower. Rei gritted his teeth, arching his back while Kai pressed down, their bodies moulding together. The neko-jin let out a low moan, biting a piece of skin on his lip off as he tried to repress it. He never wanted this moment to end. It was so clear how he felt towards the Russian, and judging by Kai's actions he felt the same. Kai lowered his head and kissed the corner of Rei's mouth; finally letting Rei's hands free he gripped the Chinese male's hips as Rei circled his arms around Kai's neck. The bluenette smirked and nuzzled the neko-jin's neck; he lowered his lips to the tanned skin and left soft searing hot kisses up Rei's throat. Rei moaned and Kai looked at him. He lowered himself more and pressed his lips to Rei's in an almost non-existent touch, gently placing more pressure as Rei responded. Kai pulled one of the neko-jin's arms from around his neck and placed it by his head on the sofa, hand resting beside the slightly pointed ear. He placed more light kisses on the soft lips, intertwining their fingers on one hand. The Russian continued with his butterfly kisses, each one of them sweet with a hidden promise. Caressing Rei's lips in a way that told him that Kai was almost afraid of hurting him.

Kai pulled back. Rei snapped open his eyes. Trembling he sat up, still heated from the touches. He looked at the bluenette, silently asking why he had pulled away.

"I have to go now"

"O-oh. Well, I'd b-better not keep you" He smiled softly, but inside he was throwing a tantrum. Why did he have to go then? At that moment? Just one kiss. That one kiss. Feeling his eyes tear up, Rei stood quickly and opened the front door.

Kai stopped beside the neko-jin and traced the outline of his face again. The bluenette looked like he was having an inner battle with himself, torn between just going or something else. "I really will miss you"

"I'll miss you too," Rei whispered, blinking to stop his eyes watering. Kai pulled the neko-jin into a hug, fingers curling around the slim waist as Rei threw his arm's around Kai's neck and buried his face into the Russian's shirt. They stayed like that for absolutely ages, only moving when Kai's watch gave off a small 'beep'. He kissed Rei's cheek where one salty tear had fallen and kissed the neko-jin's hand like before.

'Go on, all you have to do is press your lips against his. You can do that go on Rei!' The ebony haired boy opened his mouth but closed it soon after as he watched Kai walk down the stairs. It was too late.

Feeling upset but happy at the same time, Rei closed his door and sat on the sofa. Looking down at it, where they shared their intimate moment "Kami" Rei breathed, "All he did was use his hands, and I felt like that. He didn't even go…there and I still felt like that. Now that's what I call hand porn!" Rei lifted his hand to his neck where he could still feel those lips against the skin. "And we finally kissed…well sort of"

XPXPXPXP

Kai yawned, his mind far away as he waited with his band to go on stage. Needless to say, he was thinking about Rei. A soft smile flitted across his face at the thought of the neko-jin. Bryan nudged Tala and nodded towards the singer. The red head looked over and noticed that once again, Kai had a dreamy look on his face. Smiling he turned around.

"Oh, I think something happened! Something happened! Something happened!" Tala clapped his hands together happily, almost dancing on the spot.

"How can you be sure?"

"Oh come on Bry' he was in there for ages, and now look at him!"

"He didn't look happy when he got back into the bus"

"Well duh! He just left his lover. Really Bry' you don't know anything about romance"

Bryan smirked lazily, tuning the bass in his hands 'But I do know something about it, it's just never noticed' Tala continued happily sighing that Kai was finally with Rei. Even though he actually wasn't.

Max meanwhile was in his own distress, he was cursing under his breath, as the make up artist wouldn't leave him alone "Just a little more powder to get rid of the shine"

"How bout you powder my backside incase I want to show that off too? You know just so it doesn't shine" The blond mumbled, glaring at Tyson as he joyfully took photo's of his friend threatening to unleash them over the internet.

"Oh you are radiant, Max darling!" The Japanese mocked, making flamboyant hand gestures while Max just settled for the finger.

"You are already on my list, Ty' so I suggest you don't do anything to annoy me more"

"What like this?" He took a photo "Or this" Another "What about this?" The flash went off simultaneously three times and the blonde blinked rapidly to get rid of the dancing white lights.

Due to not being able to see anything, Max went to plan 2 "Kai! Hit Tyson for me!"

Kai, however, just sighed still in his dream world.

"Kai! Kaaaaiiiii! …Kai?"

Another sigh, a gentle smile and crimson eyes glazing over more.

"Dude is he like…" Tyson moved his hand from his mouth and breathed out imaginary smoke.

"Hey!" Tala said sternly "He is not drugged up!"

"Sorry Red"

"Then what's wrong with him then?" The two youngest glanced at Kai concerned.

The redhead grinned, spread his arms out and cried gloriously "He's in love!"

Bryan shook his head, noticing the bewildered stares of passing singers and some laughing, "Well there's his bad ass image gone"

"LOVE?" Tyson boomed. Max held a stern face, slowly wavering as his fight against amusement was dying. Soon enough he had tears in his eyes, clutching his stomach and laughing loudly.

Kai shook his head and took a quick look at everyone before asking, dazedly "What's so funny?"

"Guys, you're on next!" A woman shouted to them, carrying a clipboard before hurriedly running off to find another band.

"Never mind Kai! Now is everyone ready?" Bryan stood up, placing his bass safely around his person and stretched his arms.

Tala did the same to his guitar and swept his eyes over each of them and nodded. Max picked up Mr Black and released a sigh of preparation and Tyson picked his drumsticks up, threw them in the air and caught them in one hand before twirling them around. His usual ritual before going on stage. Kai took a quick drink of water and led his band to the waiting area of the stage. The roar of the crowd could already be heard, most chanting their name, screaming 'I love you' then a band member's name or just pointless screaming. The bluenette closed his eyes, head down, as he got ready. The adrenaline already pounding through his body. Through years of expertise his hands no longer shook and a calm smirk was placed on his mouth.

"Right!" Bryan called "Time for the song!"

All five gathered in a circle and placed their hands in the middle on top of each other. "Dear god of rock, guitar pick be thy name, in concerts sung, and drums be drummed, in studios as it is in music stores, amen."

"Amen!" The rest of them chorused, grinning or smirking as they turned to the stage and ran out.

"Hello you bad ass bitches!" Kai greeted, as the crowd up roared and cheered like no tomorrow. He laughed lightly, and walked across the stage "How's everyone doing today? You all good?" More shouting and whistles "Aye, remember to have fun! If someone gets hurt, help them don't leave them there and we can all sing to some shit!"

"Namely to Kai's singing being the shit" Tala interjected, the crowd laughed and disagreed as Kai turned to Tala with an amused expression.

"I love you too," The youngest Russian stated, to which Tala wiped away a fake tear. Kai shook his head to the audience to state that he didn't really while the redhead was grinning widely.

Bryan rolled his eyes and Tyson slapped his forehead. Max placed Mr Black on top of his mixer and set the right tracks up.

Kai put on his guitar and smirked, playing the first few notes of the song, the crowd recognised it immediately and cheered. It was a completely upbeat song, meant to take the piss (basically) of some people, who thought that being an individual meant you were a nobody. "As I'm sure, you lot already know this song. Written by our resident Barbie, Max Tate, when he was high…"Max threw something at Kai, who quickly dodged it. The crowd laughed more and whistled. "I meant high on sugar, don't get any ideas"

The two toned bluenette turned around, causing many whistles, and nodded to Tyson who counted them in "1, 2, 3 go!" He hit his drumsticks together and brought them down onto the drums in a fast beat.

Rei turned the TV up and smiled as the camera swept past Kai, crimson eyes alight with concentration. Missing a part of the song by fantasising.

"-So don't label me,

And whatever happened to the minority?

Everywhere I look they're all so fake

Identical replicates of the same old same.

No

Don't drag me in,

I don't want to know

And no I don't want to dress like that

Famous pop band

Yes I'm weird you keep telling me

But fuck what you're seeing on TV!"

Rei smiled and nodded to the song, it was so much more carefree then their others.

Kai looked at Tala who jumped up onto one of the speakers and played his guitar, bending down to smirk at some close by fans, the boys yelled happily and the girls gave their best smiles. The red head winked and jumped off, joining the rest back on the stage. Bryan grinned, doing a quick tune on the bass to meld with the other music.

"So get off, get bent, get lost!

I don't want to hear it,

Stop telling me on what

I should dress and act like!

So thank you but now piss off

I don't wanna be you

I'm happy with myself

Now ain't that strange to hear?"

Max returned back to the same mix after making it faster for the chorus. Kai went to the edge of the stage and fans automatically raised their hands up to him, he reached his own out, making random people's day just by brushing past their hands. He blessed them with a smile, making knees go weak and hearts flutter, before he stood up and walked past the redhead and stood next to Bryan.

"I'm not going to fall into the trap,

What's the point of being like everyone else?

And I've heard the lie so many times before

That I'll be popular with loads of friends

So

You are like them

That doesn't bother me

And so

You don't understand

What I mean

But I'm different

You've told me before

Just go and ignore what you believe!"

Rei kept his eyes clued on the dual haired singer, taking in every detail he could. Those semi baggy black pants, the grey top sculpted to his body. The numerous belts strapped around his thighs and the random jewellery, including his eyebrow piercing. He had leather straps around one upper arm and fingerless gloves on the opposite hand. He was making that outfit look like the gods made it.

"So get off, get bent, get lost!

I don't want to hear it,

Stop telling me on what

I should dress and act like!

So thank you but now piss off

I don't wanna be you

I'm happy with myself"

Kai smirked and looked directly into a passing camera, looking unknowingly into Rei's eyes.

"I'll never know, never know, no

Never know, never know, no

Just get up and do the exact same thing

But you'll never know, never know

How to be just like me"

The music stopped after another round of the chorus only leaving Tala's echoing, distant sounding voice.

"Go and follow the crowd again"

His voice faded and the crowd whistled, cheered, screamed, cried, and yelled louder then before waving banners with various slogans on them. Such as 'I love you Max' or 'Kai I want your baby' that one scared them. Kai raised an eyebrow, wondering if the girl actually thought he'd jump into the crowd and just make a baby with her because of a sign.

Rei hugged Driger tightly and smiled adoringly (as in love) at Kai as he waved and grinned. The neko-jin sighed loudly "One day, he'll be singing a song I wrote, I swear it!"

"Thank you, you've all been great!" Tala shouted, blowing kisses before disappearing off stage. Kai done a mock bow before getting pulled away by Bryan. Tyson jumped from the platform on the stage and ran off with Max, who suddenly realised Mr Black wasn't with him and ran back to get his pink turtle. He gave a smile to the audience, where the girls went 'aww' and joined his band backstage.

"Well?" They all turned to Kai, awaiting an answer.

"We did good"

They all smiled again, that really was as best as it would get off Kai Hiwatari. "So" The redhead sauntered over and placed an arm around the bluenette's shoulder "Did you send any messages to Rei with your eyes?"

"I-What?"

"Oh please Kai, you have such expressive eyes. I bet they were simply screaming 'I want you Rei!' and he was probably getting all excited back home, watching your backside dance across the stage gorgeously. Heck I know I was"

"Oh Really?" The younger one spoke "Funny because every time I looked at you, your eyes were fixed on Bryan's ass"

Bryan took that as his queue to suddenly inspect his fingernails again, and for Tala to blush and stare at something that wasn't a human being. The youngest three laughed. The platinum haired boy cleared his throat and took his bass from around him and walked back to their dressing room. Tala, trying his best to stop blushing and ignore the teasing, followed him.

"So Kai, ol' buddy ol' pal!" Tyson said, placing an arm around the crimson-eyed man's shoulder.

"Hn?"

"Well, we've been wondering lately…" Max smiled, also slipping an arm around his shoulder, walking on the left while Tyson walked on the right with Kai stuck, unwillingly between. "About this 'love' business"

"…." Love was something Kai did not want to talk about. He was already too exhausted and past caring about the conversation, for he had seen something that held his attention much more. "McGregor" He sneered.

"Ah, Hiwatari. Glad to see me?" The Scotsman replied, sardonically back.

"Only if you were dead"

"Why you bastar-"

"Jonathan!" A prim voice barked, "Don't mingle with these…people"

"Yah, cause socialising with actual human beings is just not right for slime like them!" Tyson mocked.

Robert turned his stern gaze onto the Japanese, placing a hand on Johnny's shoulder and walking away with him. The Scotsman looked back and flipped the bird to Kai, sneering with extreme force at him.

"Asshole" Kai hissed, Max sighed and nodded in agreement.

"Don't let him get to you Kai, he still hasn't let go of what happened"

Kai grunted in agreement, eyes still burning a hole in the red hair that was slowly disappearing. "That means the rest of them are here too, then"

"Oh yeah! I can't wait to see Enrique, he owes me money!" Tyson slapped his hands together and rubbed them together with a manic laugh.

Kai and Max raised an eyebrow before walking off, leaving the Japanese to laugh to himself. "Any way Kai, about this relationship"

"What 'bout it?"

"Well, are you sure that this guy…is right for you?"

The Russian furrowed his eyebrows in thought before nodding "Yep!"

"Thank Mr Black! Now you won't be so moody!" The American said, relieved before walking off to talk to someone. Kai dragged a hand over his face slowly.

"Hiwatari, you're cursed. Just face it!" He said to the heavens before dragging himself to the dressing room to tease Bryan and Tala more. With that thought in mind, a sudden smirk overcame his face.

XPXPXP

Hey Rei,

Hope you are doing well in work and whatever. I still think you should just slip poison into his drink. YOU ARE SO SEXY! XD…sorry that was Tala, he refuses to let me delete it as well. Asshole as he is. Did you see the concert? I'll admit I am missing you, somewhat, ya know as in the teasing and stuff. Yeah, um…did you know our appendix acts like a second stomach? For like grass and leaves. Um…I don't really know what to say…d;fb

HEY KITTEN! Red here, just pushed Kai off the chair muahahahha XD Any way I've read what Kai's already put and it's nowhere near the truth! Well the appendix thing is but…. god Kai that's your idea of romance? Talking about organs? Opps why am I typing this? Oh whatever…. basically I just said that and Kai stuck his middle finger up to me then proclaimed his love for you! I DID NOT! (Ignore Kai) Anyway kitten; Kai hasn't been able to stop thinking about you! X3 SQUEE! You too are SUCH a cute couple! He has missed you lllooooooaaaaaddddsssssss!

Ok first of all, ignore everything Tala said and second of all bye, g2g real quick!

-----Sent message from Kai Hiwatari-----

Rei smiled at the email, tucking a loose strand of hair behind his ear, wondering how to reply back. He had already gotten strange looks from the others in the café for laughing at a computer screen. He placed a finger to his lips in thought and titled his head to one side. Then sighed.

Hello Kai!

I'm doing well and I will not murder my boss! Give up on that already. I saw the concert you were great! Well so was the rest of the band but I was mostly watching you…uh because the camera was on you most of the time and heh oh look a bird. Crap you can't see it but uh just look at the sky and you will. I'll shut up now. I had to pick the computer with a busted delete button, and some number buttons also that weird little Ctrl button that I have no idea what it's for. Sounds like an alien race…um… heh really wish that button wasn't broken now!1 (ignore the 1) Yeah I miss you too, but not TOO much, yah um hope you're havin' great time. Maybe you should lock Tala up and throw away the key (joking Tala!) or was it really you writing all that stuff? Hmmm.

Don't worry, I've chosen to ignore what that maniac put ; ) but only because I like you…um well you know what I mean. Um…that damn bird is still there…

Oh my look at the time gotta fly off!

Love Rei xxx

-----Send message----

Rei sent it and immediately look mortified "Love Rei!" He hit his head repeatedly calling himself an idiot, burying his head in his arms and waiting to die of shame. "Idiot you stupid moronic ass"

Kenji shook his head and placed a tea towel over Rei's shoulders to act like a shawl, patting the raven hair before walking away. "The horror that is love!" He said dramatically before breaking into laughter "Ohhhhh kitt's is in love! L.O.V.E! What's that spell? LOVE! Heh and those bitches said I'd never make it as a cheerleader!"

"Kenji, shut up!"

"I'd look funky in a skirt don't 'cha think?"

"You'd scare little kids" Rei mumbled though his arms, his cocky attitude showing up. "And animals"

"Hmph"

"And grown men"

"Ok, ok"

"And me!"

"Rei-Chan is in loooovvveee! With a hottie named…wouldn't you all like to know! Muahahha-"

Rei groaned and slapped money down on the counter before walking out, Kenji's 'evil' laugh following behind.

"Driger" Rei pouted, sitting down back home "I lied! I really, really miss him and the time is certainly not flying by! It's like…like…like a snail jumping onto tortoise for a joy ride!" The neko-jin deepened his voice "Nice description, you need to spend time coming up with good ones next time!" Rei smiled, looking up at the ceiling "I don't know what it is about him, he's arrogant, sarcastic, he embarrasses me loads, quite aggravating but so loveable! Well to me anyway. He's charismatic in his weird way, got such a great smile, protective, fun, adventurous, speaks his mind and it doesn't look like he's afraid of anything. I know I'm in love but is he?" "Dunno" "That would be typical of Rei Kon wouldn't it? Fall in love with a Kai who seems untouchable and he doesn't love me back!" He looked into Driger's button eyes and deepened his voice again "You really need to get a therapist to listen to you instead"

Proclaiming to himself, that he was indeed insane, Rei sighed and remembered when he first met Kai. He smiled a familiar pink tinge across his cheeks already.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry!" Rei cried, getting a clean handkerchief from his pocket and began wiping the water off a strong chest. He heard a small 'Hn' and blush immediately spread across his face. He looked up with apologetic eyes "I'm Rei Kon" the neko-jin said, thinking about how attractive the man was.

"Kai"

"I'm sorry I didn't-"

"Whatever" Next thing Rei knew, his spilt water was replaced. He smiled and took it thankfully.

Rei sighed happily, getting one of those warm fuzzy feelings in the pit of his stomach, his neck still tingling from Kai's lips days ago. He could just imagine the Russian sitting beside him, arm around Rei's shoulders as the neko-jin snuggled up to him as they watched a film. Or walking down a street holding hands as Rei dragged the bluenette off somewhere despite his partner complaining about it. Yet Kai's amused smirk made Rei smile back and persist more, knowing he would just give in because Kai wouldn't let him down. Yeah, it was all planned out!

But Rei's best daydream was where they were walking along the sea, barefoot and hand in hand. There wasn't a moon in the sky but plenty of stars. Then Kai would bend down and splash water onto Rei, who would run away from the bluenette as he laughed and prepared to soak the neko-jin even more. Rei would suddenly turn around and throw water at Kai, walking into the ocean to escape from his Russian partner. Kai then followed him out, affectively picking Rei up bridal style and jostled him in his arms, making Rei think he was going to fall into the water. The neko-jin would clutch to the elder for dear life, and then be placed back down after a quick peck to be pelted with water again. The ebony haired boy ran onto the beach with Kai not far behind, topple onto the sand and Kai would soon pin him down, leaning down for a loving kiss, intertwining their fingers. It was then that Rei would notice the two golden rings on their left hands.

"Just imagination though" The neko-jin sighed, smiling to himself. "But a lil' imagination never hurt nobody"

"The first performance of famous rock bands was played two days ago, now the concert is set in a new location as the tour continues. Most say it will go on for two or three months, but it is yet to be seen due to some singers falling ill from the sudden bout of flu. Amongst the most anticipated awaited was' Ineluctable Lies' who stormed the stage with 'Stereotype', '3AM wake up call' and 'Just one', it is said lead singer Kai Hiwatari, is set to release another chart hitting song in reply to rival Johnny McGregor, from Free reign, as both bands battle it out for number one. Fireworks are certainly expected to go off!"

Rei's ears perked up and glanced at the TV smiling when he saw Kai's picture but blinking confused at one of a red headed man with a bandana "Kai's rival? Go on Kai beat him! Go Kai!" The neko-jin coughed lightly and put his arm back down, from having punched the air in his, eh, excitement.

"On worse news, insiders have reported lead singer, Kai Hiwatari has not been his usual self lately. They fear he is also coming down with an illness, but shows no serious signs of yet. Although quite a character on stage many still noticed he was not as energetic as usual, but Ineluctable Lie's manager has assured the press that the band and Kai Hiwatari, will soon be back to their own selves. Hiwatari already has hospital records for extreme health concerns, fans everywhere are already showing their support-"

The Chinese male's eyes widened "Kai's ill…? But…"

Miles away, Kai let out a low growl, switching the TV off before throwing it from him "What utter bull! How the hell do they know about my medical records!" He kicked the coffee table in frustration and glared fiercely at it "I'm affecting the band's performance, just because…" He sighed and ran a hand through his hair "Because of Rei. I should have known it was no good"

He turned from the now powerless television and strode over to the window, looking down over the city with gleaming skyscrapers and offices everywhere. He narrowed his crimson orbs and walked along the window, acting like a wall for a whole side of the apartment. The bluenette turned around, grabbing a dark grey jacket on his way out.

"Something has to be done"


Insanewelshangel: And this is where the plot starts to take off (grins) Oh and in Kai's email, the 'd;fb' was because he got pushed from the keyboard, I know the emails are a better grammar than most but spell-check on my computer is pure evil. You guys are so great! Look at all those gorgeous reviews! Thank you all! But could you also pretty please review this chapter? Lol
