Hi people I am still alive. I am soooo sorry that it has taken me this long to update but I have had exams and a ton of revision to do. So please forgive me, but here is the next chapter and Kai is in this.

Also I just wanted to say thank you to all who review, faved and alerted my story. I really appreciate it. And sorry to those reviewers who I did not answer to individually, I will with this chapter.

So here is chapter 3

It had been a couple of days since Kai had collapsed, and the Demolition Boys had not let him do a thing. They had either confined him to his room or the sofa to watch TV. However, today was different, despite feeling at bit nauseous he had not thrown up. So he was currently at the table eating breakfast.

"Why, Tala? Why are we eating week-old cereal with practically a drop of milk?"

"Because, Kai, no one has done any food shopping. So it was either this or green toast."

"If you want, I can go and get the shopping done." Kai suggested.

"No," Spencer interjected. "I am not having you go wandering around Russia, collapsing, and freezing to death somewhere."

"Oh, come on, Spencer. I won't freeze to death. It's warming up." Spencer however just ignored him, sending a look that just screamed NO. "Then what am I going to do. I'm bored just watching television and I have re-read two of my books" Kai whined.

"Oh stop whining, Kai. You're getting on my nerves" Bryan said, causing Kai to glare back.

"Alright. I am going to give everyone jobs to do today." Tala said, standing up "Right; I am going grocery shopping to buy some much needed food. Have you finished the list Spencer?"

"Yes."

"Good. Bryan, I want you to start disconnecting and uploading the files onto disk from those stupid computers in the basement levels so we can get rid of them ASAP. Spencer, I want you to start clearing out Boris's old office. Ian, you start moving the furniture into the lobby area, Kai, you can help Ian. Everyone alright with that?" There was a few yes's and an 'hn'. Tala just smiled "good, then let's get going." And with that he snatched the list from Spencer and bounced out the kitchen. Eventually the rest of the group left, Ian and Kai walked to a big room with furniture in it.

"We have to move all this stuff?" Ian said, looking at all the furniture." But there is soooo much. How are we going to move all this stuff all by ourselves?"

"By getting started now. I think we should start with the rugs." Kai replied.

----------------------------------------

Tala was currently walking through Russia. He had done the grocery shopping and was on the way back to the abbey with arms full of bags. He had decided to take a shortcut through a park. As he walked he watched some children beybattling just for fun and was happy that this was how he could now beyblade. Just to have fun and not to be forced to beyblade by Boris. With this thought, Tala carried on walking. He was now near to the exit of the park when he heard voices, one's that he recognised.

"How can you not know where it is? You've been here loads of time."

"I know, but either Kenny or Kai led the way. I just followed."

'Kai?' Tala thought, moving closer to the voices.

"Alright, let's calm down. I'm sure Ray will be able to find the way there."

"Ray."

Ray, the team, Zae, and Tao turned to face Tala. "Tala, what are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you the same question."

"We came to visit Kai, since he is ill. I brought our village Doctor Tao to see him; he thinks he knows what is wrong."

"Ah, cool. Well, in that case, let me be your guide to the abbey while you help me carry all these groceries back. Good thing I went since we are going to have so many unexpected guests" Tala said handing over some of the bags and heading back home.

-----------------------------------------

Kai and Ian were still moving the furniture into the lobby and they were almost finished when Spencer had called them to help down in Boris's old office.

"God I had forgotten how creepy this place could be." Kai shivered stepping into the room.

"Hey, what's going on?" Bryan asked as he stepped in just behind Kai.

"I can't move Boris's desk. It's too heavy." Spencer explained.

"Then take everything out of it first." Ian suggested.

"I have and I still can't move it, but if we all grab an edge then we might be able to."

"What about shrimp over there? He can't even reach the edge" Bryan smirked and Ian turned round to give him the deadliest glare he could (which wasn't that scary).

"I can direct you, so you don't fall backwards down the stairs or something." Ian said as they all grabbed a side and began to try and lift.

-----------------------------------------------

"And here we are." Tala said, opening the door and letting everyone in.

"Wow. It looks so nice and friendly now. You guys have really done a good job with this place." Ray said as he looked around until he spots Tala move into the kitchen and follows to help put the shopping away. The others just stand by the entrance looking around until they hear banging coming from behind the door at the opposite side of the room. Suddenly Ian comes bursting through the door.

"Come on, just a little further." He says bouncing out of the way. Slowly a big, burly, blonde figure comes from the stairs walking backwards. A little ahead of him to his right came Bryan and then finally, opposite of Spencer comes Kai, a sign of struggling evident in their faces as they heaved the desk through the doorway.

"DROP THAT DESK THIS INSTANT! YOU CANNOT CARRY SOMETHING THAT HEAVY IN YOUR CONDITION!!!!!" Tao shouted causing the three to drop the desk with a loud THUD the vibrations could be felt under their feet.

"What is going on!" Tala shouted as he and Ray ran into the lobby.

Kai turned to where the shouts had come from and immediately noticed Ray standing next to Tala with a concerned look on his face. The mere sight of Ray brought a big smile to his face as he rushed over to him. "Ray!" he said successfully getting Ray's attention so that he could wrap his arms round his neck and kiss his boyfriend on the lips. "What are you doing here?"

Ray replied after kissing Kai again. "I came to see you, silly." As Kai nuzzled into his neck, still smiling, he ignored Ian's gagging noises.

"He came to see how you were because you have been ill. He even brought his village doctor." Tala said, walking gracefully over to Ian and slapping on the head to shut him up.

It was then that Kai peered over Ray's shoulder and saw the rest of the visitors they had. There was the White Tigers who were looking around (although Mariah just looked away seeming really pissed off). It was then that he noticed two people he didn't recognise.

"Who are they?" Kai whispered into Ray's ear.

"Oh, well this is our village elder, Elder Zae," Ray said, pointing to an old man who was a little smaller than Lee. He was bald, had many wrinkles, and had a long grey moustache. He was slightly hunched over and wore dark purple robes that pooled around his feet. "And this is Master Tao." Ray said, showing the Demolition Boys the person who shouted at them before. Master Tao was a very short elderly man, smaller than Ian. He was bald with red robes and yellow pants. Both the elders bowed.

"Elder Zae, Master Tao, this is Kai" Ray smiled as he stood next to his boyfriend putting his arm around his waist. "And these are the Demolition Boys: Tala, Bryan, Spencer and Ian." Ray said, pointing to each one as he said their names.

"Ray, you didn't have to come and see me because I was unwell. I fill fine now. It was probably just a twenty-four hour bug or something." Kai said.

"Well it's a good thing we did come." Master Tao said. "You should not be trying to carry something that heavy. It could cause serious harm."

"It's only a desk. Kai is more than capable of helping us carry a desk." Spencer explained.

"A heavy desk. Kai should not be carrying anything heavy in his condition. He should be resting" Tao argued.

"What do you mean 'my condition'?" Everyone turned to Kai who had just asked the question. When no one answered he looked to Ray. "Ray, what is he talking about?"

Elder Zae decided not to keep Kai in suspense any longer. "How about we all sit down and talk about this?" Kai was reluctant but nodded and five minutes later they were all sitting in a large room with several sofas, a television, bookcases and more.

"Now can someone please tell me what you were talking about?" Kai asked from his place next to Ray.

"Well when you collapsed, I was in the medical centre on the phone and I told Master Tao what had happened." Ray answered.

"And?" Kai said urging for him to continue.

"And from what I said, Master Tao believes he knows what is wrong with you. He thinks you're pregnant."

There was a long silence before Kai decided to break it. "This is going a bit far for a joke, don't you think Ray."

"It's not a joke Kai. I promise."

"Ray it is physically impossible for a male to get pregnant and you are annoying me. Now tell me what is wrong." Kai said getting angry.

"I just told you Kai. You have to believe me." Ray pleaded.

"No Ray, you're just being stupid." Kai growled crossing his arms over his chest.

"Actually," Master Zae interrupted making everyone in the room turn to look at him. "It is true. You see the males in our clan do have the ability to make other males pregnant. It is an ability of the Neko-jins since the beginning. We discovered it many centuries ago when for some reason; women were not able to conceive. Our clan has always accepted homosexuality, so when one male managed to become pregnant it seemed a solution so the clan would not dwindle away."

"So what was the problem with the females, and do they still have trouble?" Spencer asked.

"No, the females of our clan are able to become pregnant with no trouble. The problem seemed to sort itself out about a century later according to old documents. We don't know what caused it but we believe it was a way of showing us that male's can get pregnant too."

"So how can Kai get pregnant? I assume that Neko-jin males have wombs, but Kai won't because he isn't a Neko-jin." Tala asked from his place next to Kai, who was now blushing.

Master Tao decided to answer this question. "Interestingly enough, no Neko-jin males have a womb. We consider a male pregnancy to be 10 months. Nine months for the baby to grow and one month for the womb to be created."

"Wow. I guess someone should have used protection." Bryan chanted from above Kai.

"We did." Kai hissed.

"Well I guess you should have been more careful." Bryan sung, only just jumping away as Kai went to swing for him. Luckily, Tala and Ray had grabbed his legs to stop him from reaching Bryan.

"Does this mean I am going to be an uncle?" Ian said excitedly, jumping up and down.

"No, it doesn't because I am not pregnant!" Kai shouted and with that he got out from his chair and stormed off, slamming doors and stomping as he went.

"Kai wait!" Ray shouted, jumping up and racing after Kai. The rest of the occupants of the room just stared at one another.

"So, who wants lunch?" Tala asked, trying to sound cheery. Everyone just nodded and followed him to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Ray had managed to catch up to Kai only to have him shut the bedroom door in his face.

"Kai, please open up. I just want to talk."

"NO."

"Please, I am really sorry if we upset you but we really need to talk about this."

"GO AWAY RAY!"

"Please, Kai."

"GO AWAY RAY OR I WILL MAKE YOU!"

Ray went to answer but decided against as it was just making Kai more upset. Admitting defeat, Ray trudged down the stairs, finding everyone in the kitchen. When they all turned to look at him, he answered quietly. "He has locked himself in his room and won't come out. He's really upset."

"Well you have just told him, that he is pregnant. You didn't think he was going to be happy did you?" Tala said, placing a sandwich in front of Ray.

"I don't know. What am I going to do now?" Ray asked himself mainly, banging his head on the table and barely missing the sandwich.

"For one thing, don't break the table. It was expensive." Bryan said, taking another bite of his sandwich.

"Sorry..." Ray mumbled.

"Well we know that Kai is not going to come out of his room for the rest the day," started Spencer. "So I suggest that we get on with the rest of the day as normal as we have a schedule to keep. Just check up on him occasionally to make sure he is alright. I will take him a sandwich and leave it outside the door. Does that sound alright with everyone?"

"Well, what are we supposed to do? Just sit here and wait for him to stop sulking and come out of his room?" Mariah hissed, ignoring the deadly looks coming from the Demolition Boys.

"Well, if you want to do something useful, you could go outside a dig your own grave for when I kill you, dare you decide to make another comment like that towards Kai." Bryan stated calmly with Ian giggling next to him at Mariah's face.

"You could get your rooms ready if you would like. We would have but we didn't know you were coming. And we could use some help moving stuff around." Tala suggested.

"That sounds fine, but is there anywhere we could set up our village's equipment? We brought everything we thought we would need and I don't want to leave it lying around." Tao asked.

"Yeah, I'll show you after lunch." Tala said.

The day went by quietly. The Demolition boys were mainly clearing out rubbish in the basement, except Ian who was helping Kevin and Master Tao set up his equipment in the Abbey's new medical centre. The rest of the White Tigers and Master Zae (as much as he could) helped the Demolition Boys. Mariah decided it was best to stay clear of the Demo Boys so she was setting up the bedrooms for her team. Spencer ended up throwing Kai's lunch away as it was still outside the door three hours later. Everyone took turns trying to get Kai to come out but none succeeded, and eventually it was night and dinner was being prepared.

"He must eat. If he keeps refusing he is going to make himself and the baby ill." Master Tao said.

"It was only one meal. It's not like he has starved himself for three weeks." Bryan replied.

"But you know Kai, one missed meal turns into several very quickly." Spencer said.

"True."

"Spencer, would it be alright if I take my meal and Kai's upstairs? I want to try and get him to talk to me." Ray asked.

"Ok." Spencer said, placing the two bowls of soup on a tray with some bread. "Be careful, it's hot."

"I will. Thanks." Ray took the tray from Spencer and carefully walked upstairs. Taking a deep breath he knocked on Kai's door. When there was no reply, he knocked again. "Kai, please open the door. I just want to make sure you are ok." There was still more silence. "Kai, I have brought your dinner and I know you will be hungry. Please, I won't talk about the baby." Ray waited a minute until he heard the click of the door being unlocked. Pushing the door, he was happy to be able to open it and looked into the dark room. Turning on the light he saw Kai laying with his face in the pillow. Placing the tray down on the end of the bed, Ray bent down in front of Kai.

"Kai, please look at me." Ray begged. Kai eventually rolled over revealing slightly puffy red ruby eyes with dried tear tracks coming from them. "Oh, Kai." Ray started as he got on the bed and lifted him into his lap. "Please don't cry, I brought you some dinner. How about we have something to eat and get some sleep?" Kai just sniffed and nodded as Ray pulled the tray towards them. They ate in silence with Kai sitting in Ray's lap, while Ray threaded his hands through Kai's blue hair to keep him calm.

When they were finished, Kai went to the bathroom to get changed while Ray took the tray downstairs and got his own cloths from the White Tigers room. After getting changed he returned to Kai's to find him already in bed. Sighing, Ray got into the bed behind Kai and wrapped his arms around his middle and whispered goodnight before settling down.

"Ray?"

"Yeah, Kai."

"Could I really be pregnant?"

"It is a likely possibility."

"I'm scared."

"I will always be here for you Kai, whether you are pregnant or not."

"Really?"

"Of course. I love you, Kai. You are my little phoenix and I will never leave you again." Ray insisted, leaning over Kai to place a kiss on his tattooed cheek.

"Thank you, Ray." Kai said as he rolled himself over so he could snuggle into Ray's chest. Ray just smiled kissing the top of his lovers head as they both settled down to sleep.

Thank you for reading and please review. Sorry for any mistakes. Creative criticism is very welcome and appreciated. Hoping to get the next chapter up around the beginning of August. Fingers crossed I can keep to this, this time :-)
