Disclaimer: Am I a rich man from Japan? No? Well I guess that means Beyblade isn't mine. Maybe one day...(insert attempt at evil laughter here.)
Warning: Pretty much the same as all the previous chapters. The only thing that is new, is Tala gets some action.
A/N: Miss me? I'm sure you didn't but, oh well. I'm back anyways. Once again thanks to everyone who has reviewed. And to those of you who read this and don't review, I know who you are. Just kidding. I hope you enjoy this story, even if you don't review. Oh and before you begin, I would like to say that the song in this chapter, isn't mine. (Obviously. Like I'm that talented.) On with the story.
Chapter 5: Moving Past
Yet another morning came and went. It was currently 11:53, and Tala knew that Rei would soon be coming up to see if he wanted lunch. It had been two days since he had tried to kill himself. Since then, he hadn't left his room once, nor has he let anybody in.
There was a rapping at his door, and the red-head looked at his clock. 11:54. How predictable. "Yeah." he asked, his voice cracking from lack of use.
"Tala, it's me." 'Kai? What was he doing here? Where was Rei? Rei was the one who was supposed to come and try to get me to come out.' "Rei sent me to get you. Lunch is ready."
Tala crept further under his blanket. He was terrified out of his wits. He turned towards the door when he heard more knocking. He heard Kai say his name, as he continued to knock on the door. "Go away. I'm not coming out."
Apparently that wasn't something he should have said. On the other side of the door, Kai was fuming. "Fine. If you're not coming out then I'm coming in." he said, more to himself. "Tala. Did you forget who owns this house? I have the master key to all the locks." he said louder this time.
He pulled the key out of his pocket and unlocked the door. He opened the door, just in time to see Tala pull his comforter over his head. He walked over to the bed, noticing the trembling form that resided there.
He reached out to still the shaking, only to have the mound of blankets pull away when he made contact. "Come on Tala. Get out from under there."
"No." was the muffled response that he received.
He tried to pull the covers away from the red-head, but he was unable to. Tala must have been holding them in place. It was something the small boy would do whenever somebody would try to wake him up.
Giving a final tug, Kai walked to the foot of the bed. "Tala, you're acting like a spoiled little child. Get up now." When he got no response, he pulled the blanket up. First he saw feet, then long, slender, almost feminine, pale legs. When the blanket was the whole way off, he took a good look at Tala. The little red-head had his eyes clamped shut, with his hands above his head, clutching at his blanket.
It was only moments before Tala realized that his blanket was no longer covering him. Opening his wide blue eyes, he looked up at Kai like a fearful child about to be scolded. That was a look that Kai hadn't seen Tala have in years. He, like everyone, thought that the childishness had been beaten out of him by Boris.
Funny how not just two minutes ago, he had said that Tala was acting like a child, and now here he was, looking more like a child then he did when he was a child. His oversized shirt hung off his one shoulder as he curled into himself, wrapping his arms around his knees.
"Come on Tala. You need to get out of this room, and you need to eat something." But Tala just shook his head. "Damn it Tala, you're pissing me off. Get the fuck out of this bed and go eat some damn food."
"O-okay." Tala quietly mumbled. "I'll be down in a minute."
Kai gave a firm nod before turning around and leaving the room, closing the door after him. Tala was left alone again. It was almost like since the moment that he admitted he was gay, his life was nothing but and uphill struggle that he was losing.
'This never would have happened if I was straight.' It was then that an idea struck him. If all of his problems started when he said he was gay, they'd go away if he wasn't gay. He'd just have to be straight. There was no way around it.
He threw on a pair of tight-fitting jeans and a dark blue hoodie, before heading down-stairs for lunch.
You know the funny thing is, after not eating for two and a half days, you'd think that Tala would be hungry. But no, he wasn't. Actually, the very thought of food made him feel sick to his stomach. So while everyone else was sitting around the table eating, he sat there sipping on some tea.
Rei hadn't been too happy when he found out that Tala wasn't going to be eating, but he was satisfied that the red-head was at least out of his room. He had however been the one to insist that Tala at least drink some tea.
The boy before him wasn't the Tala that he knew. The usual arrogant smirk was no longer on his face, but in it's place a forced smile. His usually pale skin looked pasty, and his hair was disheveled and full of knots.
"You know guys," Tala said getting everyone's attention. "I think we should go out tonight." Upon seeing all the hesitant looks on his friends faces he continued. "Maybe you guys could show me that club you went to the other night, since I didn't get to see it." he gave an, almost, confident smile.
"I think that's a great idea. It would be good for you to get out and have some fresh air." Kai said.
Later that evening, after he had managed to convince everyone to go clubbing with him, Tala was waiting at the doorway for the rest of the gang. He was currently wearing a pair of tight blue jeans, a black beater, and a pair of sketchers.
It wasn't long before the rest of the gang made their way to the door. The first person being Ian, running down the stairs singing 'We Like to Party' by the Venga Boys. The next two were Brian and Rei, who were both wearing similar outfits of black and blue. The only difference was that Rei was wearing a traditional Chinese cut top, like usual.
"Kenny and Tyson wont be joining us." Brian stated casually, like he didn't care. And the thing was, he probably didn't.
Upon seeing Tala's confused look, Rei decided to elaborate on Brian's comment. "The chief says that he has research to do, and Tyson ate to much I think. He's really sick."
Tala gave a shrug, adopting much the same attitude as Brian. He didn't really care. "Their loose."
They all stood around holding their coats, waiting for the last member of their party. Tala was the first person to notice Kai walking down the stairs. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and a black beater, much like Tala's.
Tala couldn't help but think that Kai looked really good, before berating himself and looking away. 'Stop it. I don't think he's hot. I can't. It's wrong.'
"Lookin' good." When Kai got to the bottom of the steps he walked over to the closet to get his jacket, leaning over Tala to do so. "You smell good Tala." When he pulled back he noticed a sleight blush tinting Tala's face.
With a smirk on his face, Kai pulled away and slipped on his jacket. "Okay, let's get moving. The night is young and I'm ready to party." he walked to the door with everybody putting their coats on and following behind.
It wasn't long until they were at the club. When they got there, the group split in two. Brian and Rei went straight to the dance floor, while Ian, Tala, and Kai went to the bar. Kai and Tala both ordered vodka, while Ian just had a coke and rum.
Tala wasn't sure but, he was pretty sure that it was around his fifth or sixth shot before he saw Ian run off to the dance floor. He didn't notice that it was only Kai and him at the bar until he leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Take it easy. You don't want to pass out before the night even begins do you?"
Nodding, Tala stood up and walked out to the dance floor. It wasn't long before he found the perfect girl to dance with. She had long blonde hair and stormy blue eyes. 'I think this is what guys like. Let's see. A tiny waist, big chest and a revealing outfit. Yupe that's what guys want.'
It didn't take long for him to get her attention once he started dancing. He just moved his lithe body to the almost haunting rhythm of the new song. He felt eyes on him, making him open his own. His eyes locked with Kai's as the lyrics began.
'Why should I welcome your domination?
Why should I listen to explanation?
I'm not pretending to make it simple.
Try to be something experimental.'
Tala moved his body against the blonde's in sync with the music, as Kai's eyes followed them from the bar. For some reason, unknown to him, Kai was pissed. Just who the hell was that blonde slut that was dancing with Tala?
'You don't turn me off,
I will never fail.
Things I loved before,
are now for sale.
Keep yourself away,
far away from me.
I forever stay,
your perfect enemy.'
He continued to watch them dance from his seat at the bar, a grim look on his face. His eyes stayed starring straight into Tala's, until the other turned to whisper in the girls ear.
'No longer waiting, remove illusions.
No more complaining, forget confusion.
No more compassion, not sentimental.
I am now something experimental.'
Tala couldn't believe himself. He was nowhere near turned on by this girl but, that didn't stop him from suggesting they go somewhere 'a little more private'. Telling the girl to give him a minute, he walked back to the bar.
'You don't turn me off,
I will never fail.
Things I loved before,
are now for sale.
Keep yourself away,
far away from me.
I forever stay,
your perfect enemy.'
He signaled for the bartender to give him another drink, not even showing that he notice Kai until he said his name.
"Tala."
"Kai." Tala said taking his shot from the man behind the bar and throwing his head back, drinking all the vodka at once.
"So who was that girl the you were dancing with?" Kai asked, acting like he really didn't care, but was secretly seething.
Giving a shrug, Tala took another drink. "Don't know. I didn't think about asking her name." He looked at Kai expecting some reaction but, all he got was Kai's usual 'hm'. "Well hey, I've got to get back. Come find me before you leave."
Tala walked away, looking for the blonde from before. Spotting her on the dance floor, he signaled for her to follow him.
They walked down a poorly lit hallway, making their way towards the bathroom. The pounding of the music in the club seemed to echo through his head.. His body moving without him thinking.
When they entered the bathroom, Tala walked over to lean against the wall before smirking. The girl walked over to him, slowly, licking her lips like a predator circling it's prey. The red-head grabbed the blonde by the hand and pulled her flush against him. His smirk widened as he leaned forward, connecting their lips in a passionate kiss.
It wasn't long before his tongue was in her mouth, moving with her in a dance as old as time its self. They continued this until the girl pulled away, looking down at his pants. Getting the point Tala pulled her back in for another kiss, all the while he was unbuckling his belt and pants.
When he had finished the blond dropped to her knees before him and pulled his pants part of the way down. It was only minutes before she engulfed his member in her mouth. "Fuck." Tala muttered as she began to move her head.
He threw his head back and arched away from the wall as he felt her lightly drag her teeth along his shaft. "Oh fuck yeah." Tala hadn't even noticed when he grabbed a hold of her hair. He was in heaven. This had by far had to be the best thing he had ever felt, partially because nobody had ever done this to him before.
He wasn't able to hold off for to long, though, because after she slid her tongue along the underside of his member, he climaxed. It was surprising to him how she was able to swallow everything, not missing a single drop.
Tala laughed lightly as he pulled up his pants, the girl was fixing her smeared lip-gloss and watching him. "What's so funny?" she asked indigenously.
"Nothing. That was just... That was great is all." Tala was looking up at the ceiling, a smile on his face, as he said that.
The blonde walked over to him and took his hand in hers. "Then how 'bout you return the favor?" She took his middle finger running her tongue over it, much like she had just done moments before to another part of his anatomy.
God did he have to piss. Kai was currently heading to the bathroom, thinking about what he had just recently witnessed. 'Is it just me or is everyone I know turning gay?' Just moments before the blue haired boy had seen his two friends, Brian and Rei, dancing. With each other. And it wasn't just friendly dancing. No. They were dancing with almost no space between them, and Brian had his hands placed firmly on Rei's rear.
Shaking that thought of, he opened the bathroom door and walked in. The sight that met him was that of a girls back. He could see that her partners hand was her skirt, and with the moan he just heard he was sure it was up other places as well. He couldn't see the person she was with, because the girl was blocking his view, but he wasn't planning on staying to find out.
"Oh sorry man. Didn't mean to interrupt." Kai turned to head out the door. 'So now everyone is getting lucky too. Damn it.'
"Kai?" A questioning voice rang throughout the room, causing The mentioned boy to pause and turn back around. To say he was shocked would be an understatement. He saw Tala's head leaning over the girls shoulder to see him.
"Tala? Okay, I'm confused. What are you doing in here. And with her?" Ok. Wasn't Tala gay? Then why the fuck was he in here with a GIRL? There was no reason that his Tala should be in here with this slut. 'Wait. My Tala? Since when has Tala been mine?'
"And what exactly do you mean by that?" the blonde asked Kai, hands on her hips.
"Tala can we talk?" Kai asked.
"Excuse me. I'm talking to you."
"Well I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to my stupid friend over here." Kai pointed a finger at the red-head who was still propped against the wall.
The blonde turned back to Tala. "Are you just going to let him talk to me like that?"
Raising a delicate eyebrow Tala looked at the girl. "Why wouldn't I?" The small boy pushed himself off of the wall, and re-buckled his pants, before he walked towards Kai, and the door. "I'm going to get another drink."
When he tried to pass Kai, however, he was stopped by a hand grabbing his arm. "We need to talk."
The red-head looked directly into the crimson eyes of his 'friend'. "We'll talk tonight when we get home." With out another word he pulled his arm free, leaving the blonde and Kai in the bathroom.
A/N: Well, that's chapter five. I hope you liked it. I'm sorry it took so long to get to you, but it's a rather lengthy chapter. So if you can imagine, it took a while to write. Oh and if you're curious, the song was "Perfect Enemy" by Tatu.
