Chapter 13

*************************************

Kenny woke up to someone knocking on the door. He sat up and looked around. "Why am I in the sitting room?"

"Good morning, Chief!" Dizzi's voice greeted him. He looked down at his laptop.

"Dizzi? Why am I out here?"

"Later, Kenny! You'd better go answer the door."

"Ah!" Kenny scrambled up and went to the door. He blinked at who was on the other side. "Uh…hi, Emily!"

"Hey!" She blinked back at him. "Why are you still dressed in your clothes from last night?" She inquired, studying him.

Kenny turned bright red and stuttered, "I…I…I…ah…fell asleep in them!"

Emily giggled at him. "I see. Well, I take it no one else on your team is awake, so I'll leave it to you to pass this on."

"Uh…sure. What?"

"Since everyone's leaving today and we won't get to see each other until the tournaments start in a couple of months, all the teams have decided to get together for a few hours before we all leave. Possibly for a few friendly battles…"

"Sounds like fun…when and where?"

"We thought down on the beach, near here, after lunch?" Emily told him, glancing at her watch. "Oh! I have to go. I'll see you later, okay?"

Then she scared the hell out of him by leaning up and brushing a quick kiss across his cheek before striding off down the hall to the elevator.

Kenny stood there, fire engine red and gaping like a fish, for…oh…a full five minutes or so.

Dizzi's snickering caught his attention and snapped him out of his daze.

"Oh…shut up, Dizzi." He grumbled. "I'm going to go wake the others and take a shower." He went to Max and Rei's room first, leaving his giggling bit-beast behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Max smiled sleepily and curled into Rei a little more. Rei yawned widely and cuddled him close, absently beginning to purr quietly as he slid his fingers through Max's mass of blonde hair.

A sudden weight on his pillow and a second, louder purring made him open his eyes to stare directly into a pair of huge, bright gold feline orbs nearly identical to his own. A pink tongue snuck out and flicked over his nose in greeting.

Rei scowled. "Go. Away. I'm sleeping here, Driger."

//No, you're not. You're only catnapping…no pun intended.//

"Was it important, or were you just trying to annoy me?" Rei growled.

{I just wanted to congratulate you, Kitten.} Driger switched to their mental speech, still purring contentedly. {Both on your mating and on finally accepting your powers. I am very proud of you, Rei.}

Rei sighed and smiled reluctantly at his bit-beast. {Thank you, Driger.}

Max stirred and looked up at them. "Hi, Driger!" He leaned up and kissed Rei softly. "Good morning, my love."

"Hmm…good morning, Max." Rei tugged him up to drape his genki blonde lover over his chest. {Driger? Go.}

{Gone.}

Rei captured Max's mouth in a deep, lazy kiss. He groaned softly when Max shifted against him restlessly and slid his tongue into Max's mouth, stroking his lover's and wrapping an arm around his waist. He rolled them both over and would have continued his pleasurable exploration of Max but was interrupted by an insistent knocking on their bedroom door.

They both looked at the door and glared.

Rei cleared his throat - twice - so that he wouldn't sound all growling. "Go away, Kai! It's too damned early to get up!"

Max let out a laugh, playing with his glossy raven hair as it blanketed them both.

"It's not Kai, Rei!" Kenny's voice said. "You should get up. The other teams have invited us to the beach to hang out for a while before they leave later tonight."

"Hey! Sounds great!" Max looked up at Rei. "It'll be fun."

"Yeah…" Rei sounded really disappointed. "Alright, Chief!" He called. "We'll get up and shower. Go wake up Kai and Tyson!"

"Yep!"

Rei heard his footsteps move away and he groaned again, dropping his head to bury his face in the pillow next to Max's head. "Why?" He mumbled into the pillow. He turned his head to bury his nose in the spot behind Max's ear and inhaled deeply his mate's scent. "Oh God you smell good."

Max smiled and rubbed his cheek against Rei's, still running his fingers through Rei's hair. "I suppose we should go shower." He suggested, sighing as Rei's hands slid under the covers and glided up his sides. "After all…we can't be interrupted there."

Rei blinked, and looked down at him, one eyebrow raised. "My, my…you are a strategist aren't you?"

Max just grinned at him.

Then the blonde found himself being tugged insistently to the bathroom.

Needless to say, they were both profoundly grateful for the nearly soundproof walls and the noise of the shower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson woke up groggily (as usual) and yawned widely. He could feel Kai's weight on his chest and he smiled, opening his eyes and blinking down into his lover's crimson eyes.

Kai lay over him, hands propped on Tyson's chest and his chin resting on his hands, staring up at him fondly and wide-awake - much to Tyson's disgust.

"How can you wake up so…so…ugh. How can you wake up at all?"

Kai smiled at him, not answering but still studying him.

"Kai? Lover, why are you staring at me?" Tyson asked him suspiciously. There was a small glint of amusement in his captain's eyes that grabbed Tyson's attention.

Kai smiled again, only this time evilly. Tyson frowned and made to move his arms, intending to grab Kai's shoulders and shake a response out of him.

Only to discover he couldn't move his arms. A quick glance to either side told him they were tied to the headboard with their scarves.

"Uh…okay. This is interesting." Tyson flushed and stared down at Kai with slightly widened eyes. "I assume you've got an explanation for this?"

The Phoenix smirked and pressed his mouth to Tyson's chest, right over his heart, where he could hear that steady beat speed up some. "Good morning lover. Sleep well?"

Tyson tried scowling at him. "Good morning, Kai. Yes, thank you. Answer me!"

"I love you."

Tyson rolled his eyes. "I love you, too. But I don't think that's the reason I'm currently tied to the bed." He blinked rapidly as Kai slid downwards, never breaking eye contact with him, and his breathing hitched when Kai grasped him firmly in one hand, stroking lightly. "Oh…"

"I've been wanting to do this for some time now." Kai told him, rubbing his thumb across Tyson's tip, making his hips arch off the bed and a low moan to come from the Dragon. Kai turned his head to the side and placed a soft kiss to the inside of Tyson's thigh. "But since you have no patience, I figured I'd better immobilize you somehow or I'd never get what I wanted."

Tyson watched him, eyes going dark. "And what would that be, lover?" He asked, huskily. Kai's smile made him shiver with anticipation.

"This." Kai closed his eyes, taking Tyson into his mouth and doing his best to drive the Dragon insane and show him just a little what he felt whenever Kai was in Tyson's arms.

He had to reach up and slap a hand over Tyson's mouth when he yelled. Kai stopped his ministrations long enough to growl thickly, "Be quiet! The others really don't need to hear you!"

"Mmmph!" Kai lifted his hand and Tyson glowered at him, or tried to. His eyes were slightly glazed over with pleasure and it kind of ruined the effect. "I can't help it!" His eyes crossed when Kai ignored him and went back to teasing him mercilessly. "Ohhhh…yes…" He moaned and Kai pinned his hips down when he bucked helplessly.

Tyson was in a blissful fog and was just approaching the point where he'd have happily begged Kai for release when a knock at the door and Kenny's voice made time stop.

Kai scowled darkly at the door and yelled back, "What?!" in a very dark tone. Tyson's glare should have made that door burst into a billion little pieces and he whimpered, wriggling under Kai and near to tears with desperate need for release.

"Uh…are you and Tyson up, Kai?" Kenny asked, hesitantly. He recognized that tone as a very serious warning from Kai.

Tyson, considering his state, couldn't really be blamed when he started snickering uncontrollably. "You…could say that, Chief!" He said, though not loud enough for Kenny to hear through the door. Kai glanced down at him and grinned.

"Hentai."

"Kai, honestly. What'd you expect?"

"Ecchi!"

Tyson grinned back and wriggled his eyebrows. "I'm up. You're definitely up." He shifted and felt Kai's erection jab him in the leg. "So what are you going to do about it?"

"Um…excuse me?" Kenny interrupted them again, heavily sweatdropping on the other side of the door. "But if you're interested…"

"Kenny, for the love of God, spit it out, then GET LOST!" Kai growled, sliding his hands up over Tyson's torso and finally untying his lover, since he'd noticed Tyson's hands were looking like they needed circulation.

"That was suitably grouchy, lover." Tyson complimented him.

"Thank you."

"We've been invited to join the other teams down on the beach after lunch. Since it's now after 10 am I thought I should wake all of you up and give you time to get ready." Kenny told him hastily. "Um…I'm going to go shower and order room service for brunch." They heard him scurry off.

"You realize you'll have to apologize later for being snippy." Tyson pointed out.

"Oh well." Kai bent down and kissed him hard. "Mmm…Tyson…"

"Kai…" The bluenette sighed, running his fingers through Kai's hair. "Keep going and don't stop!"

Kai shivered and stared at him. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, my extremely sexy and flustered Phoenix, that I want you to fuck me." Tyson grinned as Kai continued to stare and gape at him, spreading his legs wide to further drive home his point. "Just for a change and because you really ought to finish what you start."

"Tyson…oh God." Kai, surprisingly, looked a little panicky. "I don't think I can…"

Frowning at that, Tyson stroked his hair gently. "Why? I know why you gave yourself to me, Kai, and that's not changing."

Kai buried his face in Tyson's neck, clinging just a little. "You swear? Tyson…you have to know…being uke to your seme is…"

"Your safety - your protection. I do know, Kai. And I swear, that's not changing." Tyson took his face in his hands and stared into glittering russet eyes. "Kai, all your life you've had to fend for yourself, with no one to be there for you or protect you. Well, you've got someone now. Me."

"Then why?" Kai whispered, still unsure.

"Because I'm curious to know what it feels like to have you inside me…no more, no less." Tyson caressed his cheek with a thumb. "I want to know what you feel when I'm inside of you." He watched Kai think about that for a moment. "However you want it, Kai, this time I am yours to do with as you wish."

Kai nodded slowly reaching over to the bedside table to grab the bottle of lube. Tyson watched with heavy lidded eyes as Kai lubricated his fingers then gently rubbed them over Tyson's puckered entrance. A small gasp issued from him at the intrusion of Kai's finger, though it was one of pleasure and not pain. He forced himself to hold still even though all he wanted was to buck his hips to get closer. "Aahhhhhoooohhhhhh…fuck! Kai!"

The Phoenix smiled and added a second finger, grinning when Tyson shuddered and expelled a burst of pre-cum. "Hmm…I could get off just watching you, Ty-love." Tyson made a low sound of pure ecstasy and closed his eyes, suddenly unable to keep them open. He yanked the pillow out from under his head and held it over his face, releasing a scream when Kai slipped in a third finger, brushing a spot he knew quite well himself.

The pillow muffled the scream - much to Kai's disappointment. He'd wanted to hear those sounds. But, he acknowledged, they couldn't get loud with the others around.

Kai lay down on his stomach for a moment and finally got to do something he'd wanted for a long time. With his free hand he grasped Tyson's dripping length and held it steady. He glanced up his lover's form. "Tyson? Lover, look at me…"

Tyson moaned, removed the pillow and pried open his eyes to look down at Kai hotly. Darkened midnight blue met blazing ruby red and held intensely. In that moment, Tyson had an epiphany.

So this is how it feels to be uke. He thought, hazily. I've given him all my trust, all my power, and all my love. At least, that's what it seems like at first…and yet, at the same time, I have a power over him as well. He is providing me pleasure, protection, and love - it's like worship, almost.

As if he'd heard Tyson's thoughts, Kai's eyes narrowed and he dipped his head, taking Tyson's tip into his mouth and swirling his tongue around the soft sensitive skin, tasting his lover's essence and making a low sound deep in his throat. Tyson tossed his head back, arched his spine and quickly shoved the pillow over his face again as a strangled wail escaped.

Sensing that the Dragon was close to loosing it, Kai released him, removing his fingers and licking his lips. He crawled up Tyson's form, grabbing the pillow and tossing it to the side.

Tyson was panting and trembling with need as he stared into Kai's eyes. "Please…Kai…I need you." He whispered, pleadingly.

Kai captured his mouth in a near bruising kiss and guided himself to Tyson's entrance. His silky tip bumped up against him and Tyson tore his mouth away to say in a hot, needy voice, "Fuck me, Kai. Don't wait any longer and take me!"

The duel-haired blader slammed into him and cried out Tyson's name hoarsely. "Tyson!" He shuddered heavily, their breathing coming in ragged pants. For Kai, this was when he had his own moment of understanding.

Oh Gods…I had no idea how much responsibility you accepted being seme, Tyson, until now. He told his Dragon silently, unable to form words aloud at that moment. My God…just being inside of you as I am, filling you as you fill me…the trust you give me is beyond comprehension. I know how much I trust you with this but to know, now, how much you trust me is a whole new experience. I had no idea the extent of the responsibility you must feel when I give my trust like this. When I give you my power…

Tyson shifted restlessly, his fingers diving through Kai's hair and pulling him down for a passionate, soul-searing kiss. And in that kiss each could sense the other's love and total understanding - a moment of perfect clarity for them both.

And then Kai began to move, instantly driving out all rational thought in either of their minds. Kai propped himself up on his forearms to support his weight, continuously driving into Tyson desperately.

"Fuck yes! Uhhhhnnnn…my God…Kai!" Tyson couldn't take anymore. He cried out, his release coating both their chests and stomachs as he came hard. Kai followed within seconds, letting go of himself and crying out in a blissful ecstasy, his own release jetting out of him into Tyson forcefully, making him shake and shudder over Tyson.

Kai pulled away completely then collapsed half over Tyson and half on the bed, curling against Tyson's chest and trying to regain his breath and settle his frantically beating heart. Tyson's arms automatically wrapped securely around him and they lay together for some time, panting and nuzzling one another with great affection, their hands stroking sweat-slicked skin to soothe and calm each other.

When Tyson thought he could finally form coherent words, he sighed and stretched; completely satisfied, and murmured, "How are you doing, love? Feeling good?"

Kai smiled at him with feline contentment and nodded against his chest. "Fucking fabulous." At Tyson's amused chuckle, he reluctantly sat up and patted Tyson's bare leg. "We'd better shower and get dressed. I'm starved, now."

Tyson yawned and sat up, too. "Hmm…hey, Kai?"

"Yeah?"

"I quite liked that feeling of you inside me."

Kai leaned over and kissed him languorously, not protesting as Tyson cupped the back of his head in one hand, holding him there while he ravaged Kai's mouth.

When they broke apart slowly, Kai rubbed his cheek against Tyson's briefly before replying, "I liked being inside you, love. But I still prefer having it the other way around…"

Tyson smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, me too. But this was fun, too. We'll have to do it again sometime." He got up and pulled the older teen to the bathroom. "Let's shower, Kai. Brunch will get cold by the time we get out there!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they showered (and made a valiant, if futile, attempt to keep their hands off one another), three sacred spirits appeared in their bedroom.

//Do you think they realize just how close they've truly become now?// Dranzer inquired of his mate and his sister.

Drisana smiled. //Probably not. But they'll learn in time. And when they do, their Power will be an awesome thing.//

Dragoon purred in agreement. //Still, I can't help but worry about them. Great power always includes a greater responsibility. Will they be able to handle it?//

The Phoenixes and the Dragon exchanged concerned, unsure glances.

Surprisingly, it was Drisana who finally offered an answer.

//All we can do is have hope for the future, faith in our Guardians, and do our best to guide them. I believe in Kai…and because he believes in Tyson, then so do I.//

Dranzer and Dragoon nodded.

//Then we can do no less.//

//Ditto.//

The Phoenixes stared at him, sweatdropping.

//Dragoon, dearest, you spend way too much time with your Guardian.// Dranzer grinned.

//You sounded exactly like him…// Drisana blinked at him.

Dragoon blushed and grumbled something, then disappeared.

Laughing, the two Phoenixes followed.

Kai: shrugs. You tried. That's what matters.

Tyson: You'll make your point.

Kali: Yeah…I suppose. Oh, and I apologize if Kai seemed a little OOC. If you really want to know why, I can explain it to you.

Kai: I don't mind. Why should you? It's part of the plot, right?
