Hiya!!!

And I do NOT own beyblade.....only the twisted plot-evil smile-

-Chapter 12-


« So..how is your boyfriend doing?» asked Mrs.Hiwatari as she handed her son a plate of breakfast, eggs and bacon. He cast her the nastiest glare he could come up with, clearly telling her not to go any further with her teasing.

« Aww..Dont be like that honey..I am only interested in your best...and to snoop around a little in your love life...seems like you finally have one»

« Shut up mom!» he growled,gritting his teeth.

« Don`t try ordering me around,hon...I dont take orders from my own child....and especially not when that child is you" she smirked and winked her hand at him, calmly drinking her tea.

« It is none of your friggin business....besides, he is taken by someone else»

« Oh? Why dont you turn up your charm then?»

« Because he really loves that guy...It would be wrong to break them apart»

« Maybe..and maybe not...depends" Mrs.Hiwatari stated with a knowing smirk. He stared at her weirdly as she left the room to watch the televsion. Wasn`t she going to force him to go to school today...? Strange indeed....

Rei felt a tad bit embarrassed as he walked into the kitchen, only wearing his pjs. This house was huge, and he had been lost for a little while before he finally found his way back here, Kai sat by the kitchen table, reading the newspaper and sipping a cup of hot coffee. Rei arched an eyebrow at him as he saw the glasses Kai was wearing...simple,and so fitting for his personality.

« So you finally decided to wake up...did you sleep well?»

« Actually yes,I did....»

Kai growled in his throat as his mother entered the room, a bright smile on her face. She walked over to Rei directly and ruffled his hair.

» How are you,little sleepyhead?» she asked cheerfully,making him blush.

« Mom, don`t scare him...»

« Aww..I ain`t scaring you,am I, cutie?»

Rei shook his head, making the woman smile even brighter.» There you see hon, he isn`t scared by me..now,let`s get you some breakfast»

Moments later she shoved a plate of food into his hands, ordering him to eat after telling him how skinny he looked. Rei smiled slightly at the comment and dug in. He liked Mrs.Hiwatari...she was just like some motherly figure he had been missing all his life, as his own mother had treated him nothing like this, not with love and caring.

« Now Rei..tell me, do you love your boyfriend?!

He stared at her puzzled, then at Kai,whom shruggd and rolled his eyes at his mother. Rei blushed fierce red and gave a little nod.

» Yah,I do...I love him very much»

« I`m not gonna stay and listen to this...Rei, she is going to interrogate you about your love life...» Kai stated and left, taking the newspaper and cup of coffee with him on the way. Mrs.Hiwatari flashed a smile and dismissed what her son had just said.

« Dont worry about him..I am just a little curious about my son`s new friend..He doesn`t easily make friends with people...And he never brings anyone home, so he must be fond of you»

Rei was about to open his mouth to reply, when he remembered early this morning, when he made out with Kai. She caught the look on his face and laughed a little.

» Tell me, has he made a move on you already?»

« K-kinda..this morning, he kissed me»

« And what did you do?»

« I-I kissed him back....»

The way she smiled, the way she was looking at him with caring eyes made him wonder. Why did he tell her all these things...? He felt like he could trust her, that`s all, that she wouldn`t go around telling everyone, or beat him because of how he felt or what he was.

« What do you think of my son, Rei?»

« I like him..he is a great guy, and my best friend. You see Mrs.Hiwat..»

« Just Erica please»

« Ok..You see Erica, I never had any friends either..Kai was the first person that made it clear that he wanted to be my friend, even though I am different...I thank him for that»

« No wonder he choose you to be his friend....You`re beautiful Rei, do you know that?»

« Thanks...Tala tells me all the time...»

« Tala, is he your guy?»

« Y-yeah...»

« Take good care of my son Rei..I trust you not to break his heart into pieces. Underneath that stony mask of his there is a really soft and emotional person..even if you never see that side of him»

« I know....thank you Erica»

« You`re welcome...now, finish your food before it gets cold»

The conversation he just had left him with a strange feeling. Mrs.Hiwatari seemed to be the type of person that just knew everything, knew what to say in the different situations. And somehow she seemed to think that there was something between Rei and her son. He shook his head a little and came to think of his problem.He needed to get away from Tala..but how? He had promised to stay with him forever...he hated to be lying, to be breaking his promise. He couldn`t go home just yet...he needed to solve things out first, to think of a way.

Kai acted just the same as before...even after he had confessed his feelings he still acted his usual colder self, the sarcastic person with the little smirk. It puzzled Rei, how he was so good at hiding his emotions behind a thick shell. Rei had seen through that thick shell, seen what was underneath hat mask twice, when Kai was clinging to him during the thunderstorm, and this morning when he confessed that he loved him.

They had spent the whole day together, and Kai had smiled slightly when Rei asked if he could stay another night. Of course you can....always, had been the answer, and the softness in his friend`s eyes had stunned him more than anything else. Maybe Kai really did love him..maybe even as much as Tala did. They both raised their heads as the doorbell rang.

« Don`t worry...probably a salesman or sumthing..mom will get the door»

Rei couldn`t help but feel uneasy though.He knew that would look for him after he had been staying away this long..the redhead was possessive, and nothing that belonged to him could be taken away....at least not when that something was Rei.

« Rei sweetheart, someone here wants to talk to you!»called Mrs.Hiwatari. Rei`s eyes widened, and he started to panic slightly. Tala had probably found him...and was most likely set on bringing him back to their apartment.

Kai watched Rei curiously as he saw the neko`s face fall, sadness and fear displayed in those bright, golden eyes that usually shone with joy. Was his pal scared..? It seemed like it. He followed Rei downstairs, almost walking straight into him when the boy stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of his boyfriend.

« Kai..come on,let`s leave them alone" Mrs.Hiwatari said with a wink of her hand. Kai really didn`t want to leave his friend alone..but just this once, his mother was right. He cast Rei a worried look before trotting away, hands in his pockets.

« I found you Rei...you can`t hide from me, no matter how hard you try»

He couldnt answer, the lump in his throat made it difficult to speak. What would happen now..? Though there was no trace of anger on his boyfriend`s face, no rage or jealousy glinting within those icy eyes he held so dear....he was scared that Tala might beat him once they got home. He stood like paralyzed, and didn`t realise until he had a pair of arms wrapped around him that Tala had moved from his spot. He breathed in the musky and familiar scent of his lover, felt the spiky, red hair tickle the side of his face, fingers brushing against his skin. He melted into the embrace and hugged Tala tightly, burying his face into his firm chest.

« I-I`m sorry....." he choked out, the sobs strangling his words in his throat. Tala stroke his hair lovingly, placing kisses on his cheek and forehead with burning passion.

« Just..come home with me, I need you,Rei. You said you would never ever leave me...remember?»

« Y-yeah....»

Kai stod in the doorway watching the two lovers as they held each other close, watched in silence as Tala lead Rei with him along outside, still only wearing Kai`s pyjamas.....and he couldn`t move until the door closed behind them. Rei had left him..to go home again. Somehow that hurt, like a stab to his back.Who was he to care? It was none of his business what Rei chose to do, or who he chose to be with...But as he walked upstairs to his room again and sat on the window ledge, he dearly wished that Rei would choose him instead of the redhead.

His eyes caught sight of Rei and his lover, and Tala seemed a bit angry about something. The scared look on Rei`s face made him wonder what they were arguing about. Tala was probably angry because his boyfriend had gone away without telling where he had gone to. His eyes became wide as Tala grabbed the neko by his arm and held him tight, making Rei flinch because he had grabbed the arm with all the cuts. It tore his heart apart to see the tears that fell from the golden eyes he loved, to see the pleading look in the boy`s eyes as the redhead spoke angrily to him.

When Rei raised his head and spotted him, their eyes locking with each other he stood quietly watching Kai, letting him get a full wiew of his tearstained face, the begging look. What was going on..? Why did it seem as if Rei was begigng him for something? Tala pulled the neko along down the street, out of his sight.

Then it came crashing down on him with full force. Something was not right with the relationship Rei was in....maybe Rei had cut himself and been depressed because Tala had treated him badly..? Was Tala abusing his friend? Kai could hear the sound of his heart pounding in his head.
A memory came to his mind, the one from the time he first bumped into the boy that had become his best friend...and crush.

-flashback-


He pulled the boy to his feet, and looked at him as he whimpered, a pained frown on his face.

« I think I sprained my ancle»

« Seems like it....Let`s gather your stuff, and I`ll take you to the nurse...She must know what to do about your ancle»

Kai picked up all the books and notes that had been spread all over the place when the boy ran intohim.

« What`s your name,boy?»

He saw a faint blush spread across the neko`s face as he slipped an arm around his waist, supporting him.

« Rei...Rei Kon»

«R ei huh?I`m Kai Hiwatari»

Kai had difficulty holding all the books and supporting the boy at the same time, and placed a little more presure on his shoulder, making him whimper and try to pull away.

« What`s wrong?»

« Um...I sprained my shoulder not so long ago when I fell down the stairs» Rei replied quickly.

-end flashback-

Back then....Had Rei really fallen down the stairs?The boy was a neko..Kai had watched him in P.E sometimes during his break, seeing how good the boy was, how his balance seemed to be so perfect, how he moved like a cat...just as elegant and swift. How could he have fallen down the stairs being who he was? Maybe he had lied...After all, you don`t go telling strangers about having an abusive boyfriend, do you now?

The more he thought about it the more it seemed to become real. The begging look in Rei`s eyes...was he maybe trying to tell Kai without telling him in words..?

He left the window to pace across the floor in his room, hands folded on his back as he thought things through. He would have to keep a really close look on Rei the upcoming days....to see if there were any signs of abuse on the neko.

Right now it was impossible to relax due to these uncomfortable thoughts going through his mind, so he left his room to go have a swim in the pool outside. The weather was surely warm enough. And maybe it could relax his tense muscles a bit too.
