me: T'was gonna update this sooner but got in trouble (still in high school and livin with my parents here) so sorry about that.

Also: This was supposed to be rated T originally just to be safe but I accidentally rated it Kplus so sorry for the confusion. Kai and Miguel are in this chapter!

Rei: But I'm not...I'm only mentioned... pouts

Kai: She doesn't own Beyblade

"Thanks Kai," Miguel smiled as he accepted the bag of candy and tea from him. "You really didn't need to do all this." Kai blushed, avoiding looking at Miguel.

"Yeah, well…I wanted to," Kai said honestly. Miguel poked his cheek, causing Kai to look up, startled.

"You wanna take a walk?" Miguel suggested.

"Sure but…" Kai said.

"But what?"

"You don't have a shirt on," Kai said, revealing and reminding himself just why he wasn't looking at the gorgeous Spaniard. Why did Miguel have to be so darn sexy?! It really should be illegal, especially for the sake of Kai.

"Oh, right," Miguel said, red tainting his cheeks. "How about you come inside and I'll grab a shirt?" Kai nodded, closing the door behind him. Once inside and making sure Miguel was out of the room, Kai dabbed his nose with a tissue to make sure he didn't get a nose bleed. Nothing. He was clear. Miguel came out and Kai stuffed the tissue in the garbage can.

"Ready to go?" Kai asked. Miguel nodded.

"Claude, Aaron, I'm going out!" Miguel shouted.

"You'd better not be thinking of going by-"Aaron shouted.

"Kai's coming too!"

"Have fun then!" Claude shouted.

"We will!" Kai said.

"Hey Kai, you wanna keep him overnight?" Aaron asked, carrying a glass.

"Aaron!" both boys blushed and Miguel pushed Kai out of the house, slamming the door behind them.

"I just meant that Miguel could stay overnight at the dojo," Aaron said, smirking. "I wonder what they're thinking about."

"With your mind, Aaron, it's a wonder how you manage to pull an innocent defense," Claude sighed. "Where's Matilda?"

"She's been gone for quite awhile," Aaron shrugged.

"Sorry about that," Miguel apologized. "He's rather…"

"Crude?" Kai suggested. "Perverted?"

"Both," Miguel said, sighing. "How do you know how to word what I'm trying to say?"

"Tala," said Kai rather bluntly.

"Tal…la?" Miguel asked.

"His words are incoherent in the morning," Kai said. "They don't usually let me leave the house unless Johnny's there, which he normally is."

"Johnny?" Miguel questioned. "He's from the Majestics, right? Why would he be over your house?"

"He's dating Tala," Kai sighed.

"You jealous?"

"No, just a little frustrated, ya know? I guess I'm still used to paying attention to only me and the Blitzkrieg Boys," Kai said. "I'm not used to him having to pay attention to other people…let alone have a social life." Miguel chuckled, putting a hand over Kai's shoulder.

"Where do you wanna go? I'm pretty sure there's more to the story then that," Miguel said, his blue eyes glistening as they caught the sunlight. Kai nodded and grabbed Miguel's hand, jogging at a pace where Miguel could keep up and pretend to play a game of chase with him as well.

"They don't look like they need any help, Tala," Johnny said.

"Oh trust me Johnny, they do," Tala said. "They hang all over each other but they're still dancing- that's it!"

"What?" Johnny frowned.

"We'll sign them up for dance lessons! After all, wasn't your father saying I at least needed to know how to dance for your upcoming ball or whatever that thing is?" Tala grinned wolfishly.

"Masquerade," Johnny muttered. "And just several minutes ago, you were still against that."

"Changed my mind," Tala smirked, pulling Johnny flush up against him. "Aren't you going to thank me?" Johnny pretended to think but that process was interrupted when Tala decided to take his "thanks." He licked Johnny's lips making the younger boy moan, gripping on the older boy's shirt Johnny closed his eyes. Tala smirked. His kisses still had the same effect on Johnny as they did when they had first kissed.

"Tala…" Johnny said softly when Tala pulled away. Tala leaned against a tree trunk and pulled Johnny with him, letting the younger rest on his chest.

"So, how do we sign them up for dance class?" Tala asked.

"'Them'?" Johnny repeated, raising an eyebrow.

"And us," Tala pouted. Johnny grinned.

"That's my wolf," he said happily.

"So what's this about you and Tala?" Miguel asked. "I mean, when I first saw you two at the tournament, I thought you were a couple."

"That's what a lot of people thought…" Kai sighed. "We're actually distantly related."

"How so?" Miguel asked.

"A few generations back so many hundred years ago," Kai said. "We were going through our family history at the abbey because Ian hacked into the computer and he found that tad bit of information."

"Ian?" Miguel questioned. "But isn't he the youngest?"

"Yep," Kai nodded. "But the kid's got enough brains to outsmart Bryan and Oliver."

"Odd choice of people…" Miguel commented. "What did he do?"

"He blackmailed both of them and got away unscathed until Tala stepped in," Kai chuckled. "Ian won't raise a hand against Tala unless he's being a total idiot…"

"Sounds like Tala's in control there," Miguel mused.

"It's always been like that…" Kai sighed, smiling slightly.

"You really look up to Tala, don't you?"

"No one's really put it like that before…" Kai contemplated. "In that sense… yeah, he's my hero. My very own hero…That sounds odd, coming from me. I'm sorry; I'm burdening you with all of this…"

"Not at all, I enjoy hearing you talk," Miguel said, "I don't hear you talk much except for in Russian and I can't understand that."

"Maybe I could teach you something sometime then. Since you know, you wanna know what I'm saying…" Kai said. "Why is it so interesting to hear me speak?"

"Because I like your voice," Miguel said simply. Kai nodded, a smile playing on his lips. They lapsed into a comfortable silence.

"It's getting late," Kai said, realizing that they had fallen asleep and that the sun was close to setting.

"That it is," Miguel yawned, stretching. "I'll walk you home."

"You sure?"

"Positive," Miguel said, offering Kai a hand up. Kai took it and bit his lip to keep from frowning when Miguel let go of his hand. Miguel smiled at him and Kai fell into pace with Miguel.

"What…is Tala doing?" Bryan asked Johnny, his eyebrow twitching.

"You mean before or after the abnormal fact he's willing to take a dance class?" Johnny asked.

"Before,"

"He wants to get Kai and Miguel together and he thinks dancing will do it,"

"After?"

"He's devising a plan to make them both say yes…or rather just Miguel," Johnny said. Bryan sweat dropped, knowing Kai had trouble saying no to anything Tala asked. Actually, they all did. Kai did have the longest resistance out of any of the Blitzkrieg Boys because with Bryan and Ian he usually could just threaten them, Spencer, all he needed to do was ask, and Kai usually cracked after blackmail was given.

"I'm home!" Kai shouted as he entered. "Tala, get me two towels!"

"Two?" Tala called back.

"Miguel's here!"

"Why?"

"December rain!"

"Doesn't it normally snow in December?"

"That's what I thought!" Kai said.

"Hey Johnny," Miguel said, seeing the red head staring at Tala weirdly. "Everything okay?"

"Depends on your definition of 'okay'," Johnny said.

"Um, everything's good?"

"You mean other than my boyfriend having ulterior motives behind learning how to dance for some stupid upcoming ball that my dad's planning? Everything fine, just fine," he said sarcastically.

"'Ulterior motives'?" Miguel repeated, catching the towel that Tala threw at him with ease.

"Oh, you'll find out," Johnny said. "Tala, are you ever-"

"No way!" Kai shouted. "I am not doing that! You're crazy!"

"Guess he beat me to the punch…" Johnny said.

"Yes I am and yes you will!"

"What's going on?" Miguel asked, sweat dropping.

"No I won't and I really doubt he will either!" Kai said.

"So if he goes, you will?" Tala said.

"Where'd the hell you get that idea from?"

"You,"

"I never said anything of the sort!"

"You will go unless you want me to tell everyone you know what!"

"That's blackmail!"

"Well duh! Even I knew that one!"

"He's not going to agree!"

"What's going on?" Miguel asked. Johnny sighed and flipped through the pages of a book. Miguel glanced to see if he could read the title but it was in a language he couldn't understand. Perhaps Russian? But since when did Johnny read Russian? If he had been going out for Tala for awhile, it would make sense.

"Hey Miguel," Tala grinned.

"Don't Tala," Kai begged.

"Um…yes?" Miguel asked.

"You wanna take dancing lessons with Kai? I'm going with Johnny to take lessons for his dad's upcoming ball for something or another and Kai might as well learn how to dance and he needs a partner,"

"A-alright," Miguel said, slightly shocked how Tala seemed to say all of that without taking a breath. Tala's grinned widened as he looked at Kai.

"I'm sorry; who were you saying was going to say no? I guess you're going!" Tala said. He picked Johnny up off the chair he was sitting on. Johnny almost dropped the book he was reading and closed it quickly.

"What are you doing?!"

"Being a thief and stealing you," Tala said. He flopped onto the couch with Johnny, pulling the younger red head against his chest and throwing the book in a random direction. Kai caught it and raised an eyebrow when he saw it. 'What's Johnny doing with a Russian book? Last time I checked he couldn't read it…'

"So um…can I spend the night? I doubt that the rain's gonna let up anytime soon," Miguel said.

"Huh? Oh sure-"

"You can sleep in Kai's room!" Tala shouted.

"Do you have the hearing of a freakin' wolf, Tala?!" Kai demanded.

"I thought I told you to stop eavesdropping on people!" a loud smack was heard as Johnny hit Tala upside the head.

"Ow!"

"C'mon… we should get into day clothes before we catch hypothermia," Kai said. Miguel nodded and followed Kai up the stairs of the two story house. Kai knocked on the closest door to the stairs. "Hey, Spencer? Can I use your guy's shower?"

"Why?"

"Cause Miguel's here and he doesn't know his way around the house,"

"Go ahead…does he need any clothes?"

"Yeah,"

"Alright. I'll get some of Bryan's old ones,"

"Thanks, Spencer," Kai said. He motioned for Miguel to follow him. "The room next to Spencer's is Tala's and Johnny's. That one was Spencer and Bryan's. The one at the end of the hall downstairs is Ian's. Ian gets a room to himself because no one wants to explode while he's making dynamites and bombs and whatever the hell he makes in that room-"

"Dynamite and bombs?"

"A hobby he refuses to throw away…but I gotta admit it comes in handy at times," Kai said.

"Didn't you and Tala used to share a room?"

"Yeah but when Johnny moved in we cleaned the spare room out and Tala moved in there with Johnny," Kai sighed. "I should really buy a bigger house…"

"Buy a-"Miguel began.

"Here you are," Spencer said. "Are you going to show him to your room Kai?"

"Yeah…" he said absentmindedly. "C'mon," he walked down to the end room on the left. When it wouldn't open, he shoved his elbow against it and it gave way. "Sometimes it gets stuck."

"Thanks for letting me stay," Miguel said.

"No problem. Call it thanks for walking me home," Kai said. "The shower's in here. If you need anything, call one of us. I'll be out in a bit." Miguel nodded and looked around Kai's room when Kai exited with a spare change of clothes.

There were pictures a few years back. There were the team pictures mostly of the Blitzkrieg Boys and the Blade Breakers. There were group pictures and pair pictures. There was a mixed team picture of Barthez Battalion, the Blade Breakers, and other bladers like Michael and Rick. There were pictures of him and Tala, him and Rei, and some were even framed.

He shook his head and got into the shower. Maybe he could look at the pictures in detail later. Kai sighed as he was watched curiously by Bryan as he entered their room and went into the shower. He glanced at Spencer for details.

"Miguel's spending the night because of the storm," Spencer informed him.

"And I thought the storm was good for nothing," Bryan said.

"Call Oliver,"

"What?"

"Call Oliver. You haven't talked to him because you've been so busy trying to find out what Tala wants for his birthday that you haven't been talking to him," Spencer said. "He told me to call you when we were at his place in Japan."

"'We'?"

"Johnny and I,"

"Okay…So how's it going with Hiro?"

"He's out of the country," Spencer said.

"Oh…in other words you don't know,"

"It wasn't obvious?"

"No comment,"

So many minutes later…

Miguel was toweling off his hair and looking at the pictures. In one, Bryan and Tala were coming out of the river, completely soaked but they were both laughing. In another, Kai and Tala had fallen asleep against a tree trunk, sitting down. Miguel was guessing that that was before Johnny and Tala started going out. Rei and Kai had their arms around each other's shoulders in a brotherly fashion, grinning widely. There was even one of him and Kai together when they were reading the same book but Kai had lost his copy (blame Bryan and Tala!). Miguel smiled when he touched the frame.

"You dressed?" Kai asked, knocking on the door.

"Yeah," Miguel said. Kai opened the door and deposited the wet towel in the bathroom. Miguel tossed his in to.

"Looking at the pictures?"

"Yeah…there are a lot of them," Miguel said.

"I've had a lot of chances," Kai shrugged. "Let's sleep…I'm tired." He tugged Miguel onto the bed with him.

"Kai…?" Miguel asked subconsciously.

"You're comfy… I like it…you're warm…" Kai said, snuggling closer to Miguel. Miguel smiled slightly and wrapped on arm around Kai's waist and let the other snake under his head, giving him a makeshift pillow to sleep on. Who knew the enigma liked cuddling?

Me: How'd you like it? Please review! And like Tweety Bird says: Gee, it's make be bery 'appy, pussycat!!

Miguel: Why'd you end it?

Me: Because next time, you're going dancing.
