Not My Story

Broken Statue

---------------

There was a short silence, then a loud fusion of synthesisers and electric guitars pierced Rei's ears and he winced. It was the same after every song, that small moment of silence when the song changed was all the relief he was given from the upbeat and very loud and intrusive sound of Japanese pop music. The others seemed to like it, in fact, everybody else at the party was dancing, but he would have preferred to be listening to Mozart right now. Not that he liked Mozart, he just had a feeling that it wouldn't be quite so taxing on his sensitive neko-jin ears.

As he tried to block the music out, he thought about what Kai had told him and sighed. It was the sort of thing you see in films that makes everybody grimace and pity people, except it was real...and what was worse was that Kai seemed to think it was normal. Well, not normal, but he didn't seem to speak of it like a bad experience or a trauma, instead he spoke about it like anybody else would speak about their past. But, thought Rei, I suppose everybody thinks that their past is normal, after all, they've lived it, and I doubt it seemed strange at the time. How's a child supposed to know that being beaten isn't just something that everybody goes through and they just don't speak about it? No wonder they're so cold...nobody ever showed them any compassion or love...although...they must have known about it, otherwise Tala wouldn't have...

Rei sighed again. Tala. He knew that Kai had no romantic feelings for him anymore, and he almost felt guilty for begrudging Tala the love of the one person who'd ever given it to him. He wondered whether Tala would continue being cold to Kai if he knew that his memories had returned. He wondered if Tala was open up to him if he knew that Rei knew about his past, and that he wasn't really evil. But what is evil? Just because Tala didn't chose to do the things he did, it didn't mean he'd stop doing them. Just because he hadn't chosen to be evil, it didn't mean he wasn't.

Rei rubbed his head and took a sip of coke. That was some deep thinking, definitely not the sort of thing to get lost in whilst you're sat at a bar in the middle of a huge party surrounded by people who know you and could possibly have a grudge against you for beating them in battle. Rei frowned and looked down at his drink, then laughed. Now he was getting paranoid.

He turned around on his stool and looked out over the dance floor. He could see his team mates talking to some of the other bladers that had been invited there, and he smiled when he realised that Tyson was trying to go to the food table. But Kenny and Max had him held tightly by the arms and were talking as though nothing was going on. His eyes scanned the various bladers, a small smile gracing his lips when he saw his old team, but disappearing when they met the cold gaze of a Russian blader. Rei offered a smile, but the blue eyes turned away from his and that, apparently, was the end of that.

"Penny for your thoughts," came a voice next to him and he turned around to see Lee sit down on a stool. "Although, they're probably only worth a pebble. Or a small rock."

Rei rolled his eyes.

"What are you talking about? My thoughts are precious. Your entire existence isn't worth as much as one of my thoughts."

Lee snorted and smiled at him.

"Well?"

---------------

"Don't be stupid," Tala spat, glaring at Bryan. "Kai will come back to the abbey, you know he will. He has the most wonderful ability to not be able to let anything go. He'll come back, wanting to remember more and find out about his past, then we'll take him, and tell him...things, and he won't want to leave."

He crossed his arms lent back against the wall, his crystal blue eyes starting a search for Kai. But the other blader was not present in the room, Tala was sure of it. If he was, he would find him, but seeing as he couldn't, Kai must be...the corner of his mouth turned up in a smirk. On the balcony.

---------------

"I was just thinking about...Kai," Rei lied, offering Lee some of his drink, which the other boy took.

"Really? Because it looked like you were staring at the red-haired guy," Lee remarked, looking pointedly at Rei and earning himself a playful glare.

"Okay, I was. But I was just thinking about the Abbey, and Russia..."

"We're still in Russia."

"I'm ignoring you, and well...I was just thinking about their past..." He looked up again to motion to Tala but blinked, the red-head was nowhere to be seen. He shook his head. It would seem that it wasn't just Kai who had a knack for doing that, then.

---------------

The balcony was cold and dark, but lit up just enough to cast shadows over the cold marble statues that lined the edges. Stemming from the wall a complex series of statues were carved in a line along one side of the balcony, a series of goblins, nymphs and sprites that held a silence so severe one couldn't help but feel intimidated by them. They looked so real, and their faces were cast in such a way that you couldn't help but wonder if they were hiding something; suppressed memories or knowledge that would remain forever enclosed in their marble forms. Where the statues finished, stone benches were woven into the pattern at the end of the balcony, also cold and dark, they were attached by low stone railings that crossed the very end.

Crimson eyes stared out across the railings and down on to the city. The owner was sat as still as the statues, the icy wind blowing his hair across his face, though he did not move to brush it back. He wore no coat, but he did not feel cold, in fact, the only movement he made was a slight narrowing of the eyes when he heard footsteps on the marble behind him.

"Well, well. You do make it easy for your enemies to find you, Kai."

---------------

"Guys! Guys!" Rei was trying frantically to settle everyone down, but it didn't appear to be working. A few minutes ago Tyson and Ian had started an argument, and now both of their teams were involved in a huge fistfight. Lee had tried to calm Rei down and tell him that it was vaguely amusing, but Rei had glared at him and was now in the process of trying to grab Tyson's arms without getting hit himself. A heavy blow to his stomach told him that he should give up that dream.

Rei wasn't sure what was going on; he'd never seen Max that angry before! Come to think of it...he'd never seen Kenny that mad before, either. Where the hell were the two team leaders?! They were probably the only people who could control their teams, but Rei had no idea where they were.

---------------

Kai had stopped glaring at Tala, he knew from experience that it just didn't work, in fact, it only seemed to amuse Tala, which Kai found infuriating.

"What do you want?" he asked after a while, sitting back down on the stone bench and returning his eyes to the silent city. He heard the crunch of leaves as the red head walked over and stood behind him, the movement and noise almost sacrilege in the silence of the marble balcony.

"I want you to come back to the Abbey."

Kai sighed.

"Why doesn't that surprise me? Oh yeah, because for the last five years that's all I've been hearing from you and my grandfather," he lowered his eyes, the glare of the lights from the city a distraction that he could not afford when he was talking to Tala. The other boy was clever, and if he wasn't alert, he'd most likely end up agreeing to going back with him. Would it really be that bad? Kai's mind asked, too wrapped up in its new-found memories of Tala to give a thought to Rei. But Kai knew that he couldn't let nostalgia let him down again and he gritted his teeth. Because I'm in love with Rei, and I can't leave him.

"Kai, are you even listening?" Tala pressed, his voice a little sterner than usual. Kai cursed mentally, knowing that he couldn't let Tala think he'd been spaced out.

"Yes, I'm just choosing to ignore you," Kai replied, hoping that covered all possible scenarios of what Tala was talking about. Apparently it did, and the Russian blader growled slightly, startling Kai. He wasn't aware he'd made him that angry, come to think of it...Tala being angry could be a very scary thing...Kai turned round and looked up at Tala, knowing that he shouldn't push his luck. But Tala, it seemed, was already too angry, and he grabbed Kai, pushing him back against the cold, stone railings. Kai gasped as the air was knocked from his lungs at his sudden contact with the railings.

"You will come back with me, Kai," Tala hissed, leaning in close and glaring at the boy beneath him. Kai was trying not to let his fear show, but it was hard, after all, he'd seen people on the receiving end of Tala's temper, and it was not a pretty sight.

"I can't, I have people here I care about," Kai tried to reason, not caring that he was effectively telling his feelings to Tala, which could be a disadvantage if Tala was in a very vicious mood.

"Me too. I care about you, Kai, and I want things back how they used to be. Do you remember?"

Kai nodded, shifting underneath Tala and starting to feel uncomfortable with the amount of contact they had with each other. Sighing, Tala pressed his lips to Kai's, not kissing him, just lying like that for a few seconds before he stood up.

"I love you, Kai, but don't think I'm just going to let you disappear. If I have to hurt you to get you to come back to me, I will. If I have to hurt Rei, I will," Tala's eyes were dull, not his usual icy blue, and Kai knew that he was done with being aggressive for the night.

"Tala..."

"Don't try to reason with me. If I have to kill him, I will, because you mean more to me than anything, and I will not let you go. Kai..." he pulled Kai up, rubbing a finger across his cheek and brushing away a tear that had fallen. "Come back to us...if you come voluntarily, Rei can come too...and Boris won't be as harsh as he was before. He needs you now, he's not going to hit you or..."

"I will not come back to the Abbey," Kai hissed, feeling embarrassed that he'd started crying, and he pushed past Tala, running inside. Tala ran after him, grabbing Kai's arm as they entered the hall.

"Kai..." he frowned and turned his head to see what Kai was staring at. "Shit..."

There were Russian police everywhere and hardly any of the party guests remained. Kai instantly spotted Rei sitting alone at a table and ran over to him. Tala decided to let the matter drop for the night.

"Rei?" Kai asked, kneeling down his chair and wrapping his arms around the other boy. Rei smiled and looked down at him, a small bruise on his left cheek, but other than that, he seemed fine.

"Hey...you missed one hell of a fight, love," smiling, Rei kissed his cheek and rest his chin on Kai's head.

"Are you alright?" the older boy asked, feelings of worry for another person a new emotion to him. Rei nodded and stroked his hair.

"I'm fine. Spencer got knocked unconscious and is in hospital, the others are just being questioned by the police. But this is private property and Mr Dickinson's made sure that the hotel owner isn't going to file charges."

Kai raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

"Are you okay?" Rei asked, only just noticing the trails where tears had run down Kai's cheeks and running a smooth finger over them. Kai nodded and pulled away a little so he could look at Rei.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Tala just got a little..." Rei nodded, understanding. Motioning towards the door, he waited for Kai to stand up and then he took his hand, silently leading his lover to their hotel room. Luckily, everyone else was being questioned in a different room, so the bedroom was their own for another few hours.

Kai watched as Rei lay down on the bed, looking up at him with golden eyes. The blue haired blader smiled and crawled onto the bed, kneeling above the other and leaning down to kiss him gently as Rei began to unbutton his shirt. Kai silently praised himself on deciding to wear a shirt tonight instead of his usual top; it made it a hell of a lot easier to undo. Gentle fingers brushed silky skin as the Chinese blader undid the last button and the shirt fell open. Rei ran his fingertips over the pale skin, finally being able to touch the muscular chest that he'd wanted for so long.

Kai shivered slightly, breaking off the kiss to look down at Rei with hungry eyes. He made a quick job of removing the neko-jin's own shirt, sliding his fingers under the waistband of his jeans and sliding them over his hips, along with his boxers. Long fingers traced the skin beneath them, bringing moans from Rei's lips as they made their path down.

As hot lips captured his own, he felt a prick of pain and his fingers dug into Kai's back, pulling the other closer to him as the pain increased, then stopped. Frowning a little, Rei noticed that Kai still had his trousers on, then he blushed as he realised that he hadn't been paying much attention to what the other was doing. He slid his own fingers under Kai's waistband, pulling the other's trousers off with a little help from his lover.

Kai pushed Rei's legs apart, positioning himself, before Rei felt another sudden pain, before a wave of pleasure sang through his body. He moaned beneath Kai, bucking his hips everytime his lover brushed his spot, earning moans from Kai as he did so. Rei felt slightly useless just lying underneath his lover, but Kai's quickening breaths and pleasured moans told him it wasn't so. Finally, Rei's eyes closed tight as an intense wave of pleasure ran through his body and Kai cried out hoarsely as he filled Rei with his seed.

Kai collapsed down next to Rei, still panting, and pulled his lover into his arms. Body still hot, Rei curled up in his arms, a content smile on his face as he slowly drifted into sleep.

Phew. Okay...I think that's my first sex scene in a fanfiction, and I HOPE that it's R not NC-17. I never really could tell the difference. If it is a little too NC-17ish, tell me and I'll try to make it less so. (Not that there's anything wrong with NC-17, it's just, this is posted on FF.net too)
