Bloody Tears

Chapter 6- Love, Lies and deceit



It was another week before Kai was allowed out of the hospital. The blonde nurse visited regularly to check that Kai was still recovering and would often stop for a chat. Kai never spoke much, but Rei was a fountain of endless chatter. Being cooped up with Kai for so long with no one to talk to took its toll on the young Beyblader and the two soon became firm friends. Rei discovered that the nurse, Claire, was an amateur 'blader and supported a team known as the 'Blade Daemons'.

"Where have I heard of them? The name sounds familiar." Rei thought deeply, trying his hardest to remember where he had heard of the Blade Daemons. They hadn't been on TV or radio and, from what Claire had said, they were pretty new in the big leagues.

"Well, they're quite good. They were the top team in the championships in England, so they're representing the UK in this year's American tournament. They would have been at the Asian tournament, but Kitty was sick with flu." Claire looked startled as Rei snapped his fingers, a look of triumph on his face.

"I know where I've heard of them! Mariah told me that her cousin had started up a team and that they were pretty good. She said it was weird because one of the guys is from Japan and the other is German. The three girls are all English, am I right?" Rei grinned at Claire and she laughed as she nodded her head, yes.

"Kitty mentioned something about a cousin in Japan, but I wasn't really listening. I was too wrapped up in playing Final Fantasy ten. She likes eight best, but I think ten beats them all. The graphics are far better, but I don't really know about the story, as I've never properly played eight. What about you, what's your favourite?" Rei didn't have a clue what Final Fantasy was, having never been into computer games. Claire could tell this from the clueless look on his face and took this opportunity to show off her extensive knowledge of the games.

It was another three hours before she left them. Kai hadn't said a word in that time and practically pounced on Rei the moment she left. Rei, startled, fell backwards, colliding with the floor with Kai on top of him. Kai straddled the submissive white tiger and attacked his mouth, tasting and feeling with his tongue all that was Rei. The excited bluenette pulled away from his lovers' mouth momentarily to stare into the passionate amber eyes beneath him. Resuming, Kai trailed light kisses down Rei's chin and neck before sucking lightly on his collarbone. Rei gasped and grabbed hold of Kai, pulling their bodies closer together, the heat almost overpowering.

"Sorry, I forgot my..." Claire was cut short by the sight before her. Blushing madly, she was about to make a quick exit before she remembered why she was there. She had left her pager in the room with the two boys and needed it in order to do her job properly. "Uh, I, um, left my pager. Sorry. Sorry." She edged towards the table where the small black box lay innocently waiting for her. Kai growled, a feral sound that sent shivers up Rei's spine and he shifted slightly, hoping for friction. Kai wasn't going to give in that easily and moved at the same time Rei did. The brief, rough movement brought a moan from Rei's throat and he arched beneath his lover.

Claire, seeing this, grabbed her pager and made a hasty exit, not wanting to see what was next. She knew that she really should stop them, a hospital is no place for that sort of behaviour, but it just didn't seem right. She stood outside the door, leaning her back against the cold surface. What should she do? Leave them to their own devices or intervene? Deciding on the former, The blonde walked off to inform the other nurses that the boys were not to be disturbed.

Meanwhile, in the car park, a coach could be seen pulling up at the drop- off point. Three figures traipsed wearily from the vehicle and walked into the hospital. They visited reception first, to inform the receptionist of their arrival, before trudging slowly up and down the hallways to the east wing, where Kai was located. Upon arriving at the door of their comrade's room, the leader of the three knocked and entered without waiting for a reply. What he saw in that room was enough to make him wish that he had knocked. Kai was lying atop Rei, tracing small, torturous circles on the bare skin of his once clothed chest, suckling and nipping occasionally. His shirt could be seen lying some feet away, as though discarded in a hurry. Rei was making small mewling noises under Kai's ministrations. Neither noticed the intruders until Tyson made a noise by knocking over a vase full of flowers from a table by the door. Max, being the swift, responsible boy that he was, quickly darted to catch the vase before it hit the cold floor and shattered. The flowers, however, were not so lucky. Neither was Tyson.

Kai looked up and, seeing the rest of the team, let out a frustrated growl in the back of his throat. Rei was still panting heavily and one eye was closed. Kai managed to push himself up from his position on Rei's naked chest and stared daggers at his teammates, especially Tyson. He REALLY wasn't in the mood for Tyson at that precise moment. Ok, so the only thing he was in the mood for at that moment was sex, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Kai could see himself getting really pissed off, really fast, as long as Tyson was around.

"What?!" It was more of a statement that a question, barked out not to ask what they were looking at but, rather, why they were there at all. Tyson merely shrugged and looked innocent.

"Can't a guy come and visit his sick friend? Thought you'd be pleased to see us." There was no way that Tyson was going to let Kai spoil his good mood. Kai just grunted and moved over to his bed. Sitting down gently he watched as Rei got shakily to his feet and searched for his missing shirt, face flaming. Locating it, the embarrassed youth managed to button it up wrong twice before straightening himself up and joining Kai on the bed. Not able to look his teammates in the eye, Rei stared down at the floor and swung his legs. He could feel all four pairs of eyes on him as he sat and the silence was almost unbearable. Finally, Kai spoke.

"I'm not sick. And your timing is lousy, Tyson." Kai smirked as he removed his gaze from the youth before him and turned it onto his koi sitting next to him. Lacing their fingers together, Kai lifted Rei's hand up, along with his own, and kissed the pale skin. This received the desired affect. Rei's blush deepened more and he turned towards his blue- haired lover, shuffling a little closer and gazing through his long lashes at the once-emotionless boy seated beside him. Kai reached out with his right hand to brush a stray lock of hair out of his lovers' eyes. Rei's head snapped up, causing the strand to fall back to its original position. Kai, never one to let a chance slip, slipped his hand around Rei's neck and pulled the black-haired beauty into a searing kiss, pausing only to admire the perfection before him.

Another sound brought them back to the world of the living for the second time that day. Looking at the rest of the team huddled in the doorway, the two could see Max, giggling like crazy and grasping tightly to Tyson's waist. "I guess you were right."

"Yup, I'm always right." Tyson winked at Max and gave him a thumbs-up. Max just blushed and held onto Tyson even tighter.

"Well, you gonna stand there all day of you gonna sit down?" Rei laughed at the pair, as he himself snuggled closed to Kai and rested his head on his lovers' shoulder. Tyson and Max moved as one to take up two of the four chairs positioned to face the bed. Kenny remained in his position by the door, looking decidedly uncomfortable and as though he wished he were somewhere else at that precise moment in time.

"You don't have to stay." Kai, curt as always, addressed Kenny directly. Said teen turned towards the source of the voice, but his eyes seemed to be unable to focus.

"Really? You don't mind if I go?" Kenny looked a little worried. He didn't want to offend Kai, but he didn't want to be in the hospital either. Kai nodded and the Chief seemed to visibly relax. "Guess I'll see you around then." The short teen couldn't make a quick enough exit. He made his way to a phone outside the front of the hospital, inserted some change and dialled the oh-too-familiar number.

"What's up with him?" Rei tilted his head slightly to the left to give Kai more room, as he had decided that now would be a good time to attach himself to Rei's neck. Sucking and nipping, Rei practically purred as the skilled mouth made its way round to the front of his neck and stayed there, sucking lightly on the dark-haired boy's Adam's apple. Kai wasn't afraid to show his feelings in public, not with Rei anyway. It was just that he'd had no reason to do so in the past, not trusting anyone and not wanting to be hurt or rejected by them.

"Some guy named Uuji. The Chief introduced us a couple of days ago. Not a bad looking guy, but he talks too much. Can't get a word in edge- ways while he's around. Chief seems happy enough, though." Max loosened his hold on Tyson and pouted slightly. Tyson, looking down at his blonde- haired lover, could barely keep from laughing at the expression on his face. "Not as good looking as you, though, baby." Tyson grinned at the instantaneous change in reaction; from a pouty sulk to happy puppy mode in less than a second.

"So, when you being released from this dump, Kai?" Max turned to their leader and, seeing as he was still attached to Rei's throat and unable to answer, rephrased the question. "When's Kai being released, Rei?"

"This afternoon, if all goes well. He has to be measured and weighed again, but other than that, he's fine...OW" Kai bit down hard on the sensitive flesh at the base of Rei's neck, drawing a cry from his lover. "What was that for?" It was hard for Rei to be annoyed at the slim boy beside him, never mind stay annoyed for any length of time.

"No reason." Kai licked the wounded area, drawing a shudder from Rei. It was at that point that the nurse decided to stroll into the room.

"Good morning, time for your examination now, Kai." The blonde nurse smiled at the four, radiating her own happiness to all who saw her. All, that is, except Kai. Which was a good thing because a happy Kai is a very scary thought. Kai growled at the nurse, his usual complaint for, well, everything. He didn't want to but he managed to detach himself from Rei and stand up from the bed.

"Um.it's not morning anymore." Max looked at his watch, which read 3:00 PM, and then back at the nurse.

"I know, I just always say good morning." The nurse grinned at Max, who just looked confused.

"Then, what do you say in the morning?" Tyson, being the slowest in the group in matters such as these, asked the most obvious question possible. Well, obvious to anyone who knew Claire.

"Good afternoon, of course." Her grin widened at the increased confusion in the boys' faces. Rei just rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Claire, you're an idiot." Rei laughed at her strange logic, his eyes never moving from Kai who stood just inches away from him.

"Thanks!" Claire proceeded to examine Kai, first measuring his waist, chest and arms, then weighing him on a pair of very accurate hospital scales. Finally, she led him over to a wall where a height chart was attached. Nodding as she wrote all this down, the nurse smiled again. "Ok, I'll just take these to the doctor and you'll know within the hour whether you can leave today or not."

"Hn." Kai merely grunted his thanks, as he did for everything else. The nurse exited quickly and her footsteps could be heard retreating down the hall.

"Well, wasn't that fun." Tyson, still very much confused, decided that the others had been silent for too long and the conversation needed to be started up again. Kai moved over to the bed and plonked himself down next to Rei, where he had been sitting before.

It took only fifteen minutes for Uuji to arrive. The 18-year-old drove up to where Kenny was waiting, just outside the entrance, in his pride and joy; an X registered BMW Z3. He had done the engine up himself, so it could go far faster than it should have been able to. When Kenny first set eyes on it, his mouth dropped open. When he heard how much it cost, he nearly stopped breathing. When he first rode in it, he nearly had a heart attack. Uuji was not known to go any slower than 50mph, even in built up areas. It was this 'habit' that got him fined many times and he'd lost his licence twice. His other 'habit', fortunately for all involved, hadn't gotten him into trouble with the authorities yet.

Kenny climbed into the passenger seat and slumped back, eyes closed. Uuji drove out of the exit and away from the hospital at a speed far less that one might have expected. They remained silent for quite a while before Uuji decided that enough was enough. "Well?" His question sliced through the thick air like a knife through butter.

"Never again. It's not worth it." Uuji could see that Kenny was shaking slightly and took the boys' hand in his own. Startled by the coldness of it, he turned towards the brunette beside him. Kenny just stared down at the hand intruding on his private space, feeling far more paranoid than usual.

"I guess you react differently then, huh?" Uuji turned his eyes back onto the road just in time to avoid a terrified cat and then a lamppost. How he managed to not crash the car after having his eyes on Kenny for so long is anybody's guess.

"Just...never again." Kenny slipped into a deep, exhausted slumber. Uuji went back to concentrating on the road, but thoughts from that morning kept pestering him.

He'd been in his room, trying to persuade Kitty to 'get high' with him, but she was having none of it. He ended up with a sore cheek and a broken door for his efforts. Fortunately for him, Kenny arrived not long after. 'It wasn't difficult to persuade the boy', Uuji smirked, 'just turn on the charm and BAM, got him where I want him.' Kenny agreed to try it and was soon a fountain of endless chatter. 'He was so much more fun to be around like that', Uuji thought. 'I'll have to tell him so.'

Turning into his regular parking space outside the hotel, Uuji carried the still sleeping Kenny up to his room and lay him on the bed. Turning, the tall youth made his way to the door. "Sweet dreams" with those final words, Uuji closed the door behind him and made his way to meet with the rest of the team for dinner in the restaurant.

6:12pm, and Tyson was still talking. Max had fallen asleep in his loves' arms and was breathing lightly. He had been like that for the past hour, but Tyson didn't seem to mind. He just liked to hear the sound of his own voice. Rei and Kai were off in their own little world together and had stopped listening almost immediately after Tyson had started talking.

"Hello." All eyes turned on to Doctor Schvokt who stood in the doorway beaming at the duo sitting on the bed together. "I always right. You listen to what I tell you? Good. Now you happy. Is all good." Kai looked questionably up at Rei, who was blushing lightly. "Right, if you promise eat and stay healthy, you go home now." Kai was clearly pleased by this news and, had it have been Tyson rather than Kai, he would have punched the air happily. However, as he was Kai and not Tyson, he settled for squeezing Rei a little tighter.

"He promises." Rei decided to do all that he could to make sure that Kai got fully well again as quickly as possible, even if that meant force- feeding him.

"Good. You been signed out. You go now. Take care." Doctor Schvokt indicated for Kai to pack his things and leave. Kai, never being one to dawdle, was ready in thirty seconds. That, and the fact that he had hardly anything with him.

"I have one question." Rei confronted the doctor, placing his hands on his slim waist and looking the short man straight in the eyes. "How did you know?" The doctor just laughed and tapped the side of his nose.

"Family secret." Was all he would say. Tyson, being the nosy bugger that he was, couldn't keep his mouth shut and asked the one question Rei had been wondering the answer to ever since he met the mysterious doctor.

"What's with the accent? You foreign or something?" Ever tactful Tyson gained a smack around the back of the head from Max for his rather blunt statement. The doctor laughed again.

"Yes. I Russian, but I live in England since I three." Kai moved over to Rei as the doctor spoke. He reached down and grasped his loves' hand in his own. "You go now. Take care." The doctor walked the four friends to the main doors of the hospital and waved as they walked away. "Take care." The kind man said the same phrase for the third time in less than ten minutes.

"He's nice, but he said 'take care' three times. Not good if you're superstitious." Tyson began rambling on again as they approached the bus. Kai knew that if this continued, he would end up killing the annoying teen.

"Tyson? Shut up." Kai's blunt words managed to make it through Tyson's thick skull and he was instantly silent, not wanting to enrage the potentially dangerous team leader. After all, Kai wasn't the gentlest member of the Blade Breakers.
