Explaining: Dranzer did die, but being a Phoenix, she was reborn shortly after.
Thus why I said Brooklyn killed her.
Cepheus: I
love you reviewers! You keep on feeding me with lovely reviews… and I will keep
feeding you with chapters! :P
I mean, I received so many reviews, I felt I owed you
this fast update, despite what I previously said. I hope you enjoy and wait,
next chapter, the actual worthless sleepover.
And… I changed slightly the plot to fit with what I
wrote last chapter. Hitoshi was not even contemplated in it before, but now
he’s a good obstacle for Brooklyn so I’ll keep him up.

Alluring Darkness
Chapter 04= Of Sleepovers and apologizes…
“(Again, tell me why I have to come as well,)” Tala
pleaded, grabbing Kai’s shoulder with a scowl.
Said slate haired teen brushed the hand away with a
shrug and turned to the red haired teen with a small smirk playing on his lips.
“(I said Tyson you would be here,)” he reasoned. “(Not
to mention, you can’t really think I am going to go there –alone)”.
“(But there is already Rei!)” To prove his
point Tala looked at the Neko–Jin, who was lost in his little world of devious
thoughts about a certain Egyptian, and didn’t notice the attention he was
receiving.
Kai turned to look at the red head with pity, “(Rei
will be faaar away from here, by the time he spots
his little bird,)” to prove his point, he turned to Rei and with a casual voice
he stated, loud enough to be clearly heard, “Hey, isn’t that one Mystel?”
Rei’s eyes lit up with a mischievous sparkle as he
jumped up, “where? Where?” he started looking around frantically, under the
surprised gaze of Tala and the knowingly one of Kai.
“(Is that so?)” Tala sweatdropped and sighed. “(Then,
I understand)”.
“Nope, I think I was wrong, Mystel is not around…” Kai
smiled lightly, faking sheepishly, and Rei glared at him, “… yet”.
“Wha? What do you know?!” Rei almost jumped on Kai.
“Well, I met Mystel while I was going down the river…”
Kai suddenly found himself pinned under a very, very hyper Rei, “you did tell
him about the sleepover right?! Right?!”
Kai chuckled lightly, inwardly wondering how he could
pin Rei of himself without using his hands –that, by the way, were not hurting
as much as before. He decided to smile smugly at the raven haired blader, who
widened his eyes and let go of him in shock.
“You… you did, right?”
Knowing he was keeping Rei on the verge of breaking
down Kai let his smirk widen, but in the end, at the look the Chinese blader
was giving him –plainly pathetic and pleadingly– he shook his head and nodded,
“yes Rei, I told him –and he accepted”.
“Waiiiii!” Rei smiled and started bouncing around,
“yeah!”
Tala sweatdropped more, “pathetic,” he mumbled.
“Let’s go before something else happens,” Kai grimaced
as he stared at the bag full of the things he decided to take with him for the
sleepover. It took him nothing to prepare it, more so because he had a maid to
prepare it for him –rich was good!– but as it was currently hanging from his
shoulder, he had to grip it in order not to drop it.
Thus, he was straining his hands.
Tala, unaware of this, started rambling about a phone
call he received from Bryan and Spencer, whilst Rei was gone in la la land with a lot of little Mystels
around him.
Kai sweatdropped.
Bright and sunny day as it was, the group decided to
take the longer route that passed near the river, enjoying the warmth –well,
not really. After hearing that Mystel had been in the neighbourhoods of the
river, Rei had forced his wrath upon the two Russians to have a different and
longer way towards Tyson’s.
By forced his wrath upon them I mean, pouting, doing
his puppy eyes, and threatening them of not cooking for them never ever again.
The last one was the most effective though.
So, the three were now walking on the riverside.
Kai was lingering some feet behind the others, and
slowly lifted his hands up to stare at them. There were no signs of them being
hurt on the outside, since the few scratches he had were already healed, but on
the inside, he was wincing in pain. The twinges of pain did fade away
slightly, leaving behind a throbbing much similar to the one you have when you
have a part of your body fall asleep and then wake up, but once in a while, a
painful twinge would remind him not to get his hopes up too much.
The only good thing was, he had been able to evade
Brooklyn for sometime lately. The orange haired teen caused a series of strange
reactions from him that Kai wasn’t much happy with. He scared him –now,
admitting it to himself was becoming quite easy– but this was not all.
The darkness… behind Brooklyn was what scared Kai the
most. It was like Brooklyn was a thin line in–between dark and light, and Kai
was precariously balanced on this line.
If he had to be really truthful, the line
Brooklyn appeared to be gave him another sensation opposite to the feeling of
being on the verge of breaking down.
It made him feel almost… secure.
Comfortable.
And paradoxically, this scared him even more.
Because Black Dranzer, despite the lust of power and
the evilness she was emanating, had given him the same feeling. The feeling
that maybe he could be considered someone. Using Black Dranzer he had almost…
hoped, that the power would gain him respect.
He thought he would get respect only by acting this
way.
He was wrong because, he already had the respect of
the few people he cared for –Tala, Rei, the BladeBreakers, and some people of
the other teams. He’d made mistakes, he’d cheated and betrayed his… friends…
but they still ended up forgiving him.
And even if the Dark Phoenix’s power were still
alluring him, he was able to ignore the chill.
And Brooklyn… Brooklyn caused the same feeling in him.
He felt at ease around him, but he was expecting the darkness behind him, thus
he couldn’t trust the feeling.
Brooklyn would only hurt him, like he already did
during their match. He killed Dranzer. He scarred Kai’s mind and body, when
he’d thought he was finally able to put his past behind.
“Oh, look, we’re there!”
Kai blinked and lowered his hands, looking up only to
see the familiar sight of the dojo. He knew it pretty well, Tyson forced him to
sleep in there once or twice.
Damn Tyson.
“Kai! Rei!
Tala! I am so glad you could come!” the
said bouncing bluenette jumped out from nowhere and waved at them happily,
before grabbing Tala –the nearest one– by his arm and yanking him towards the
garden. “Come on, put away your bags and let’s join the others!”
Kai sighed and followed the other three through the
garden and inside the dojo, where he saw there were already some bags randomly
scattered around the gym.
He recognized one as being Garland’s –obvious to tell,
it had many stickers of sports on it– and he was able to tell the neon green
one was Max’s because… no, not because he already knew this one was his; simply
because it was open and a sack of lollipops was sticking out, together with a
turtle plushie.
Pathetic, as Tala would probably say.
He then spotted some more bags as he, Rei and Tala put
down theirs –his was black, Rei’s was more of a small rucksack, grey and blue,
and Tala’s was brownish.
There was a blue bag, with little yellow stars
attached onto it, and Kai reasoned it could only be owned by a girl –either
MingMing or Hilary.
Then another one, and it was pink. Definitely a girl’s,
and since Mariah wasn’t there…
Then there was a big bag of a dark brown, really big,
next to which a smaller light red one.
Then there was a forest green one, and an orange one.
Last was a grey one with a computer sticker… Kenny’s.
Tyson was rambling about something Kai couldn’t quite
get a grasp on, about Grandpa Granger and noodles, as the four exited the dojo
again. Kai looked around and took in who was there.
There were Mystel and Garland talking about something
near the pond, and Kenny was staring in adoration at MingMing, who was having a
glaring contest with Hilary –strangely enough the two of them hadn’t gotten
friendlier after the tournament.
On the opposite they had gotten even nastier to each
other –if this was even possible.
There was Moses with his little sister Monica on his shoulders
and Kai for a moment wondered mildly if she wasn’t going to be sick, being so
high. He was still glad she was ok, despite Boris’ attempts to use her to
control her brother.
Max bounced on Tyson –people really were bouncier in
the last few days– and Rei laughed before spotting Mystel.
Kai was having half an idea to approach Garland and
have a small talk with him when a shudder ran through his back, bringing a
known feeling of dread. He turned his head to the right and there he was.
Leaning on the wall of the dojo, busy admiring a bird
on the tree in front of him, there was the orange haired teen that caused so
much trouble to Kai.
Kai felt his body slip out of his control as soft
trembles hit his frame, but he willed them away. He couldn’t go away now
because he had promised to Tyson he was going to stay, and he wouldn’t let
Brooklyn ruin his time.
Green eyes snapped away from the bird and stared at
him, and Kai could see a flicker of… satisfaction? in them as Brooklyn spotted
him. The older teen’s lips turned upwards in a silent greeting that made Kai
cringe, as both coldness and warmth fought inside his chest. He found Brooklyn
was harder to ignore than Black Dranzer… harder to… resist… maybe.
‘Ignore him,’ he ordered himself as he turned away from Brooklyn and stomped towards
the teal haired blader. “Hi Garland,” he said, and Apollon’s wielder turned to
him with a smile.
“Oh, Kai! I am glad you could come, maybe laters we
can have our fight?”
“Mh… I don’t think I can, not today at least” he declined
politely, hiding unconsciously his hands behind him. “Besides, I have a feeling
you have something better to do…”
He pointed towards Tala, who was still being dragged
by Tyson around, and Garland’s eyes widened.
“Yes, I think you are right, now, if you can excuse
me…” he bowed formally and walked quite uncertainly towards the red head.
Mystel blinked, smiling at Kai, “he’s been waiting all
day to go and properly apologize to him”.
Kai nodded with a smirk, “I know… and I get the
feeling he’s not the only one who’s been waiting to see someone…”
Mystel blinked again, eyes showing confusion –for once
he wasn’t wearing a mask– and looked with a frown at Kai, who glanced towards
an approaching Rei.
“Bye, Mystel, see you later,” with that Kai waved and
walked away. He was effectively ignoring Brooklyn, and decided to continue like
this by leaning on the farthest wall he could find, relaxing and staring at the
other bladers interacting.
He wanted to keep an eye on Tala and Garland, whilst
he was pretty sure Rei would take care of himself –and Mystel if he managed to.
But he was distracted from his thoughts as another
shape appeared and leaned on the wall at his right. For a second his insides
clenched painfully, believing it was Brooklyn, but then he looked up to the dark
blue hair and dark eyes of Hitoshi, Tyson’s brother, and felt himself relax
once more.
“Tense?” Hitoshi asked, raising elegantly an eyebrow.
Kai didn’t look at him, “I thought you were Brooklyn,”
he admitted.
Hitoshi’s eyes flickered with something that Kai
didn’t see, “really? Are you… uneasy around Brooklyn?”
“Yeah,” Kai replied. “He… killed Dranzer”.
He decided he should not tell Hitoshi about the rest;
Tyson’s brother didn’t know anything about his past, or about the Abbey and
Black Dranzer.
“But Dranzer’s back now,” Hitoshi reasoned.
Kai did not reply.
“Well, I don’t think there is a problem with this,”
Hitoshi smiled warmly at Kai, who frowned lightly.
Hitoshi was acting a little stranger than usual.
“It’s quite noisy up there,” Hitoshi casually pointed
to Tyson, who was running around with Daichi, “can I stay here as well?”
Kai looked up at the blue haired man perplexedly, and
received a sincere smile as an answer. He shrugged and closed his eyes again.
……………………………………………
Tala watched with slight tension as the teal haired
teen walked towards him; he could easily remember what had happened during
their only meeting, and the causes of it –he was forced in hospital for an
entire month, in coma.
So there was no surprise as he tensed up.
Garland was uneasy as well, because he knew too well
it was his fault Tala ended up in hospital, but he had to recognize the red
haired blader had talent and passion. He felt bad for his actions, because he
let the pride of his family to blind him.
But family pride was not as important as a person’s
welfare.
“Tala? May I speak with you… privately?” he politely
asked.
Tala bit his upper lip and for a second, he wondered
if it was safe to accept. Then he gave a sharp and tense nod and followed
Garland inside the gym, and no one noticed them as they slipped inside.
None with the exception of the orange haired blader,
but Brooklyn did not care about them as he was currently growling, furious
about the proximity of Hitoshi with Kai. How dared he, so near his slate
haired blader!
As Brooklyn pondered on his choice of words, inside
the gym tension was at its peak.
Garland was a proud blader. And this time it had
nothing to do with his family. He knew he’d been wrong, but apologize to
someone was another matter.
“So?” Tala’s voice was as icy as his eyes.
Garland looked up straight at him and breathed deeply,
“Tyson told me about… about Boris and what he’d done before… in Russia… he was
just using all of us, and he was threatening us as well”.
Tala’s blank stare did not change.
“I respect you for your decision to stand up against
him, and I am aware of the fact that our fight wasn’t a fair one”.
Tala kept on staring, and Garland started to feel
unease again, despite his resolution. The azure eyes of the red headed Russian
were almost glacial, and that made Garland’s resolve waver. There was so much…
nothingness in his stare, and all the same, the teal haired teen was sure there
were emotions hidden behind. Thinking this, his turquoise eyes became bright
and determined, and strangely enough, the prospective of apologizing turned
less unnerving and less hard.
“I want to… I want to apologize. I didn’t mean to hurt
you,” Garland stated. “I was wrong, and I am sorry”.
Tala’s shoulders dropped slightly, and his eyes lost
some of their coldness. Garland seemed sincere in his apologize, besides, Tala
himself had once been deceived by Boris and he knew how persuasive he could be,
how persuasive his actions could be.
“I accept your apologizes,” he spoke quietly, and the
other teen had to lean over to hear. “I once have been deceived by Boris, too”.
Garland relaxed hearing his words, and truth to his
thoughts, there were emotions leaking inside those azure pools; something had
happened that caused the red haired to conceal his emotions deep inside him.
And he wanted to… he didn’t know why, but he wanted to
see more of them. Wanted to see the azure eyes flicker with something else than
coldness.
“How about a match?” he asked suddenly, surprising
Tala who was ready to leave.
Red brow furrowed in confusion, “what?”
Garland nodded, then a smile appeared on his lips, “I
think our last match was a mistake on both parts… we didn’t give our best and
maybe, if we fight again, fair and clean…”
Tala stared at him in surprise; this was the last
thing he was expecting from the teal haired teen. A rematch? Well, that would
be a good chance to finally determine things out between them, as in rivals.
Smirking Tala nodded, “sure then, anytime!”
“What about now?” a smug expression was on his face as
he pulled out Apollon from his pocket, showing it to the red haired teen, who
smirked as well and pulled out his Wolborg.
“You’re in,” Tala headed towards the door followed by
the teal haired teen, but once outside they were stopped by Tyson, who glared
at both of them suspiciously, his eyes trailing to their hands where the two
BeyBlades were.
“What are you trying to do?” he asked, with a frown,
“you are not going to have a battle” he added seriously.
All the other bladers around the garden stopped doing
what they were doing to look at them curiously.
“Why… not?” Garland raised one eyebrow questioningly.
“Because you’re at my party! I won’t allow you…
any of you,” he turned to all the others, “to have a bey battle… you’re here to
enjoy yourselves, not to fuel up your rivalries! Now let’s go inside, Grandpa’s
called us for lunch!”
Garland and Tala sighed and placed their blades back
in their pockets, following Tyson and the others back inside. The red head bit
his lip and blocked the turquoise eyed teen by his arm, “we’ll fight tomorrow
at Kai’s… you know the address right?”
Garland nodded, “yes, that way I will be able to
properly challenge Kai to a martial arts’ fight”.
Tala raised both eyebrows but then smirked at him and
the two entered in the dojo.
……………………………………………
“Hey guys,” Tyson looked at the group as they were all
scattered in the sitting room, and waved his hand so they would look at him. “What
about a movie? I own a lot of DVD and so does Hitoshi!”
There was a sudden stampede as all the bladers,
including the three girls, who had teamed up –possibly against the males–
stormed towards the pile of DVD, rummaging through them to search for the
proper one. Kai just remained where he was, leaning on the wall, observing the
others with amusement in his eyes.
“Oh, let’s see ‘Shark Tale’!” Max pleaded
waving the DVD above his head. Moses growled at him and picked up another one,
“what about ‘Fast and Furious’?”
“Nah! Let’s see ‘Titanic’!” chirped MingMing,
with Kenny nodding and blushing furiously in the background.
‘How come Tyson has Titanic in DVD?’ was the thought that passed through everyone’s head.
“No, here it is, ‘Ghost’,” Hilary sighed, she
loved that film.
“No way,” chorused the others glaring at her.
“I’ll vote for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean, curse of
the Black Pearl’,” Garland proposed pointing to a DVD in Tala’s hand.
“Hell yeah!” was the common reply. Even the girls
agreed, because all of them loved the film, and the ones who hadn’t seen it
heard it was a great film.
Tyson, Max and Daichi disappeared to prepare snacks
for all of them, whilst the others volunteered to settle the armchairs in a way
all of them could sit in the dojo, that was bigger than the sitting room, and
Hitoshi carried the TV inside.
At first the older Granger thought of going away to
leave the younger bladers alone, but as his eyes spotted Kai, who was taking a
seat a little on the right –as far away as he could from the seats Tyson and
Daichi were surely going to sit on– and a smirk appeared on his face.
“Hey Kai, mind to share? You have no idea of how noisy
Tyson can be when he watches DVDs…” Hitoshi approached the slate haired teen,
who blinked up at him and thought about it for a second.
“Hn,” he replied and the bluenette took it as a yes,
as he sat down next to him.
Mystel sat on the floor onto a cushion and Rei kneeled
at his right, smiling to him in a seductive way, fangs showing from under his
lips.
“Can I sit here?” he asked, his voice low.
Mystel blushed ever so slightly as he nodded, turning
away so he would look at anything but Rei; the latter was looking proud of his
achievement and flashed a smile to Kai, who rolled his eyes. Rei really didn’t
care of anyone when he was hunting for something…
‘He’d better be a little more wary… the press would
love to ramble about a great blader being not interested in girls…’ Kai thought. ‘Even if… he doesn’t seem to be the
only one here’.
Hitoshi leaned against the back of the seat and
pondered over what he’d seen. Kai didn’t seem disgusted that Rei was hitting on
Mystel, and this was positive because at least he wasn’t homophobic. That meant
he could try on seducing him…
The others gathered in the dojo, Tyson carrying a
really huge bowl of pop corn and an enormous glass of coke, and when Monica
tried to take a handful of popcorn Tyson moved it out of reach and shook his
head, “yours will come soon, this is mine!”
Monica blinked and shifted away from him, scared, and
Moses glared at Tyson before moving Monica near MingMing –despite it all, he
trusted her more than Tyson.
Max and the recruited Hilary entered the dojo together
with Kenny, each of the, holding a tray with glasses of coke and pop corn bowls
–smaller than Tyson’s by the way– and they handed them to the sitting bladers.
Daichi jumped on the seat in front of the TV at
Tyson’s side, holding a similar bowl in his hands.
Now, the positions were the following –from the right,
Hitoshi, Kai, an empty seat, Tala, Moses, Max, Tyson and Daichi, then another
empty seat; in front of them, on the cushions, were Rei and Mystel, Hilary,
Monica, MingMing and Garland, who was shifting uncomfortably. Kenny handed the
last glass and looked towards the seat, then nudged Garland on the shoulder.
“Can you sit up on the chair and let me this cushion?”
he pleaded rather pathetically.
Garland’s eyes lit up –he really didn’t want to sit
all the film near the overemotional MingMing– and gladly swapped place with
him; Kenny looked in adoration at Ming)Ming’s back as she continued gossiping with
Monica.
Brooklyn entered the room. He had been in the bathroom
to wash his hands, and when he glanced at the dojo his eyes darkened up with
lust seeing where he was supposed to sit down.
Kai was looking at the popcorn with a half disgusted
stare when he felt someone sit down next to him, uncomfortably near. He glanced
up and froze as he saw the familiar green eyes looking at him, and he swallowed
hard.
Brooklyn was… sitting next to him. And he was smiling
his creepy smile at him…
He shivered and wondered if Garland would consider
swapping place with him –he would gladly comply, since he was sitting next to
Tyson– but then the loud mouth pressed on the remote and the film started.
Hilary stood up and went to shut the lights of, then returned in a hurry in her
place.
Kai couldn’t relax. It was dark, and Brooklyn was
right next to him, almost touching him, and that caused Kai to shiver. Not to
mention, Hitoshi on the other side instead of looking at the TV was peering at
him every now and then.
That was upsetting him so much he wasn’t able to
concentrate on the film, and he loved that one.
He shifted, trying to ignore both older teens and bit
his lower lip, licking it then biting it again, managing to relax slightly as
he finally started enjoying ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.
He forgot that he loathed popcorn and digging his hand
into it –even ignoring the twinge of pain– he carefully closed his fingers onto
some of the white salty things and brought them to his mouth, swallowing then
proceeding to lick the salt from his fingers, digging his hand back in for
more.
Obviously as he was caught by the film, Kai didn’t
notice the effect he was causing in both Brooklyn and Hitoshi.
Brooklyn’s eyes never left Kai’s fingers as the slate
haired teen licked them clean one by one, his tongue flickering onto their top
before they sunk back in the bowl.
He had to stifle a moan by biting hard on his own
fingers, in a violent attempt to refrain himself from jumping on Kai and
claiming him as his right on the couch in front of everyone’s eyes. How could
Kai not see what he was doing to him? He was incredibly erotic and Brooklyn
felt his arousal grow as he shifted so to hide it from the other’s view.
A glance towards Hitoshi from above Kai’s head made
green lusty eyes turn to cold dark angry pools, as he gritted his teeth in
fury. Hitoshi was staring transfixed at Kai’s fingers much like Brooklyn had
been doing until that moment, eyes filled with the same lust, but Brooklyn felt
himself turn livid.
How dared Hitoshi to look that way at his
Kai?!
Tyson’s brother felt someone was looking at him and
diverted his eyes from the arousing sight Kai was providing to look up, and saw
Brooklyn’s hatred filled glare turned against him and smirked.
His eyes and smirk communicating to the orange haired
teen a simple thing, ‘you want Kai? You’ll have to fight… and by the looks
of it, I am a step ahead of you…’
Brooklyn narrowed his eyes.
He was not going to let Hitoshi have his way at Kai.
Not if he only wanted his body.
‘And you? Does that mean you want more than just his
body?’ his mind asked pointedly.
And for once, Brooklyn was left speechless.
……………………………………………
Cepheus: see?
Things are finally coming around! And poor Kai is going to suffer even more
laters, so keep on reviewing and I’ll give you the next chapter!
I hope you understood what Kai is going through. He’s
not as good as others (coughReicough)
in showing or understanding his emotions, towards Brooklyn nonetheless.
