Tke: I'm still thinking of damn school…

Kei: that's SMART…

Tke: ah, bite me.

Kei: naw…

Tke: moron.

Kei: hey… someone just made a point…

Tke: a point?

Kei: someone suggested Kai Hiwatari should have a brother.

Tke: O.o a brother? … Would you like to be his brother Mr. Kei Kaido?

Kei: rolls eyes nah.

Tke: All right then… maybe I SHOULD make a brother for Kai…

Kei: it can be Shaoyran!

Tke: As in Shaoyran Kagasani from my story Saint Dragons?

Kei: yeah!

Tke: As in the SAME Shaoyran Kagasani that's engaged to Tyson?

Kei: that's the one.

Tke: as in the SAME Shaoyran Kagasani that's made love to Tyson like… a bajillion times? Grins at the thought of updating it and having Shaoyran screw Tyson the bajillion and first times

Kei: Yup.

Tke: hum… that's a possibility…

Kei: well… let's start this.

Tke: OKAY! I don't own Beyblade, or Kai Hiwatari, or Tyson Granger (or in Kei's view, Tyson Kinomiya wink, wink), or Max Tate, or Rei Kon! I just own Kei Kaido, Takao Kinomiya, Myrou Mizuhara, and Ray Kon! Grabs chain and chains Kei to the wall Hear me fan-girls and boys (I know who you are) I will say this EVERY time until it's clear in EVERYONE'S mind. Kei Kaido belongs to me!

Kinomiya Ren quietly watched as the two near him made a steady pathway to the gardens of the once Kinomiya castle. Ren gave a saddening smile, in all the years that had passed from the original death of Takao, Kei, Myrou, and Ray, the Kinomiya castle, Kaido castle, Mizuhara castle, and Kon castle hadn't been used. Instead it had been used as a type of monument to show the new friendship between the castles.

Ren gave a pure smile, sitting near rocks where his room used to be, this was truly where it all began. At a time, he was angered at Takao's decision to betray him. However, he knew that secretly, Takao's life was his own, and Ren couldn't change that.

Secretly dating the young Kaido prince was Takao's life, and Ren actually didn't want it to change.

Even when Ray told him that Takao and Kei, at age 14, planned on when they would be married (somehow Myrou had brought the question up), two years after they became a couple, Ren seemed to believe that he'd loose his younger brother forever.

But now he knew, Takao wasn't going anywhere.

Not if anyone had a say in it.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Kinomiya Takao whistled as he saw the busted stonewall of his old room some one thousand years ago. "This… makes me feel old…"

One Kaido Kei stood next to him, glancing around, "You ARE old, Takao."

Takao glared at his husband, "Thanks, that makes me feel so much BETTER."

Kei grinned, "Just trying to help."

Takao rolled his eyes before sitting on the wall and glancing over the ruins, "You think… Michael will ever come back?"

"…" Kei paused before sitting on the wall next to Takao; he grabbed the bluenette in a tight hug, "Not if he knows what's best for him."

"And Mao…"

"Should have died when I first killed her…" Kei grumbled, strutting his fingers on Takao's leg.

Takao continued his words, as if Kei hadn't mentioned it, "Maxie told me that the Mao from our time is reborn too."

"NANI?"

"Into some girl named Mariah."

Kei snorted, "And I thought the name Mao was bad enough."

"She likes pink too."

Kei almost hurled.

"But amazingly…" Takao swung his feet a little, "Unlike Mao, who was in love with our Kei Kaido, this Mariah girl seems to be after one Rei Kon…"

Kei rolled his eyes, "I pity him."

Takao gave a soft smile Kei and Kai looked alike, it was uncanny. The resemblance was striking, Kei and Kai looked the exact same, just as Takao and Tyson did. It wasn't changing.

Especially when they started to act alike. However crimson eyes would forever be Kei's and the younger Hiwatari Kai would always have the grey-violet.

Something Takao wouldn't forget, even in death.

Kei paused, glancing at Takao, "What?"

Takao shook his head slightly, "Nothing."

Kei gave a slight pout before smiling softly at Takao, the midnight blue haired man glancing at the ruins he'd once called home. Takao and Tyson were probably the most identical between the winds and fire. (Since Myrou and Ray's reincarnations, Max and Rei, looked the exact same, they didn't count because they WERE the same.) Takao and Tyson were both cheerful, kind, and fun. If Tyson Granger wasn't reincarnated from Takao Kinomiya, most would say they would be brothers. It was truly something that Kei had grown attached to.

Kei suddenly pulled Takao close; "Taka…" came the whine.

Midnight blue met ruby crimson.

"Kei?"

Kei grinned, nuzzling Takao's tanned skin, "You smell good."

"I took a shower of course I-."

Kei gave one of his natural smiles, one of the pure smiles only Takao had ever seen, "But of chocolate, strawberries, and blueberries." It was Kei's fact that Takao's shampoo was coconut, hazelnut, and vanilla.

"I see."

Kei nipped at Takao's ear before hugging the blue haired man close, "At the final battle..."

Takao paused, wrapping his arms around Kei's neck when the older man went silent.

"When you locked Tyson and Kai out of the arena…" Kei let out a ragged breath but tried his best to continue, "And Michael had shot you from the back…" Tears spilled from Kei's crimson eyes, running down his cheeks and spilling over the blue face paint that made his four triangles. The triangles smeared, but Kei kept his face buried in the Kinomiya's blue hair, "… I thought I'd lost you for good…"

Takao paused before his midnight blue eyes closed and he hugged deeper into Kei's embrace, "There's no way I'm leaving you."

Kei gave a small smile, kissing Takao's forehead slightly, "Ashiteru zutto."

Takao gave a smile back, "Ashiteru…"

Kei grinned, "Shall we go back to Ren now?"

Takao gave a playful glare, "You sure know how to ruin a moment."

Kei gave a sly smirk, "Ooh! So you WANT a moment."

Takao paused, squeaking as Kei pulled him close, "Well-I uh… that is…"

"EXACTLY!"

"Kyyyyyaaaa…!"

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Granger (or Kinomiya as Kei named him) Tyson paused from what he was doing.

"Ty? Is something wrong?" Hiwatari Kai's grey-violet eyes glanced up from paperwork.

Tyson blanked, "Did you hear a scream?"

"… No."

Tyson shook his head, "Never mind then."

Kai paused before sweatdropping. Couldn't he find a way to keep his and Kei's mind link volume DOWN!
