A Vivid Dream

Chapter Seven: Discoveries

Breathing hard, Kai kept his eyes closed as he turned over, bringing Hilary to rest on top of him and under his chin. He heard her mewl with displeasure at the loss of him inside her and had to smile. He lifted his hand to stroke her spine to soothe her, stopping only when she adjusted herself to rest more comfortably on top of him. He resumed his actions as she snuggled closer to him, like a kitten resting on something warm. “Shhh…”

“Cold,” Hilary mumbled as she tried to burrow deeper into Kai. “Need blanket.”

Kai looked around for a blanket, but realized with a sigh of regret that they were lying on top of his blankets. Funny, he never noticed that. Hating to disturb her, Kai gently untangled himself from her warm body. At her grumble of displeasure, he quickly placed her under the covers and joined her, pulling the blankets up to cover them both. He had to smile as Hilary quickly attached herself to him, using his shoulder as a pillow under her cheek. He kissed her forehead. “Better?”

“Umm-hmm,” Hilary mumbled as she rubbed her cheek against his warm skin. She wrapped her arm around his torso. “But I think…I liked it better…when you were in me.”

“Me too,” Kai chuckled as he played with the ends of her hair. He let a stirring of arousal go through him before he stomped it down. “But you’re tired, go to sleep.”

“You too,” Hilary mumbled as she kissed his chest before she settled down and hugged him tighter to her. “You’re so comfortable.”

A shiver of arousal went through him again before a tender smile graced his lips. He stared at the dark ceiling as he heard her breathing evened out. His hand absently stoked her arm as he thought about what happened and what was happening. He couldn’t for the life of him believe what was going on, that it was actually Hilary in his arms. That Hilary, the girl that half the boys coveted and all were deathly afraid of, had wanted to tell him that she liked him.

‘No, it has to be more than like’ Kai thought as he looked Hilary’s sleeping face. Because just by knowing her, she would not jump into bed with just any guy. He had known this even without the proof of her virginity. Anyway, she might not know what they just did together, but he knew. In his heart, he knew that he made love to Hilary with everything that he was. She was the only one that was ever able to breach his defenses and she always did it without even trying. It was one of the reasons he tended to stay away from her whenever she was around. He didn’t want her to know, he didn’t want to feel vulnerable. But now- this night changed everything for him. She gave herself to him and he wanted more.

That’s why he was so pissed when she said that she would forget this night had never happened, that she would avoid him. Because he would never forget this night, it was burned into the very depths of his being, just like Dranzer was.

‘Let her try to forget and avoid me’ thought Kai thought with a scowl as he tightened his hold on her. He wouldn’t let her go, not after loving and wanting her for so long. If she tried to forget or avoid him, he would just have to drag her back to him. If she started to show interest in another boy, he would just have to show her the error of her ways. And if another wanted to take what was his…well, the world wouldn’t be big enough for the fool to hide in. No one steals from Kai Hiwatari and gets away with it.

“Kai! I can’t breathe,” Hilary gasped as she looked up at him. Immediately, she felt his arms loose around her and heard his mumbled apology. She looked closely at him and narrowed her eyes. “What’s got you so upset?”

“Nothing,” Kai lied as he looked at her. She gave him a dubious look so he gave her a kiss, not pulling back until he felt her respond to him. He smiled at the dazed look in her eyes before he lowered his face again. “I was wondering when you would wake up. Are you awake?”

“I’m awake,” Hilary gasped as she felt him nuzzle behind her ear and start to work down to her collar bone. She stopped him just as he was about to go lower. “But I don’t want to do this right now, Kai.”

Kai pulled back, scowling. “Why not?”

Not intimidated, Hilary scowled back at him. “Two reasons: I want to talk and I don’t want to be pinned down.”

“Is that all?” Kai muttered as he looked at her scowling face. Sighing, he did the only thing he could do. He grabbed her and pulled her so she lay fully on top of him. He grinned at her as she assessed her new situation, her legs at his sides and her core just above his springing manhood. “One reason gone. Now let’s work on the other reason.”

Hilary blinked. “Well, this is a change. What am I supposed to do?”

“Anything that you want to do, even talk while we’re like this,” Kai grinned as he looked at her. He started to knead her soft round bottom under her skirt, and then slipped lower to stroke her soft folds from behind. “You’re in charge. We can talk if you want.” As her breath caught, he smiled innocently as he removed his fingers to stroke the back of her thighs. “You can even sit up and fondle me if you want.”

“Really,” Hilary said as she cocked her head to the side, blushing. “You’re not going to let me forget that word, are you?”

“Nope,” Kai said smugly as his fingers traced the muscles of her soft thighs. He smiled as her pink tongue darted in and out of her mouth and wetted her lips. “It’s become my favorite word. But you won’t get the full effect of this position until you fully sit up, Hilary.”

“Oh, really?” Hilary whispered as she wet her lips. This position raised several possibilities. Self-conscious of her semi-nudity, she raised her body up cautiously while bringing her blouse back up to its proper position. She blinked as she could feel Kai’s curls just tickling her bottom. She bit her inner lip as she moved lower, so his hardness was just underneath her core. There but not entering her. “So this is what you call on being on top?”

“Yep,” Kai said as he watched her cautiously pushed herself up, moving her core lower. He had to swallow hard to keep from flipping her over. She had no idea how utterly ravished she looked nor how much he wanted to ravish her again. His eyes narrowed as she pulled the ends of her blouse together, covering his view of her breasts. The way she was holding the ends, it was like she was putting on armor. “So how do you like it?”

“I’m not sure,” Hilary admitted as she balanced herself. She could feel Kai’s hardness as it rested against her soft folds; feel the strength of him between her thighs. But since he looked nonchalant, she did her best to look unbothered by it as well. She smoothed down her skirt as best she could; only pausing to look at the skirt hem as it spread over Kai’s abdomen. “Mariah and the books I’ve read never went into any detail about what to do while on top.”

“Mariah? Books?” Kai raised an eyebrow. “You’ve read books about this?”

“Just the occasional romance novels,” Hilary blushed as she gathered the ends of her blouse even more together. “Mostly, I just listen to Mariah after she’s through with Rei.”

“Really,” Kai drawled as he tucked away that bit of information. He grabbed her hands and laid them flat on his chest, his hands covering hers so that she was slightly arched over him. He smiled as her blouse parted, not quite revealing her breasts, but at least they were now available for him to touch. “And what else does she say?”

“What?” Hilary asked bemused at the solid feel of Kai under her hands. She smiled as she stroked his smooth, hard chest. She used her fingertips to trace the contours of his muscles.

Kai jumped as she traced his muscles. “Stop that.”

“Stop what?” Hilary blinked at Kai’s sudden jerk. She continued and he jerked again.

“Stop that,” Kai said as he put his hand over hers. He saw the light dawn in her eyes and growled out a warning, “Hilary-”

“You’re ticklish!” Hilary squealed delighted with the discovery as she wiggled her fingers against the sides of his ribs. She giggled as he snorted with laughter, bucking up and down, trying to dislodge her. She had to gasp as his wild motions ground against her hips, causing a pleasurable sensation to ripple through her. “Oh!”

At her distraction, Kai desperately grabbed her hands and flipped her over, covering her body with his. “Stop that!”

“You’re ticklish!” Hilary repeated as she broke into a delighted smile. At his scowl, she quickly kissed his nose, distracting him enough for her to force him to roll over so that she was on top of him again. She giggled as her body lay on top of his, her hand stroking his cheek. She had to giggle again, Kai looked so bemused at the fact that she was able to flip him. Smiling as she lay there on top of him, chest to chest, hip to hip. “I never knew that you were so ticklish!”

Bringing his hands to her waist, Kai rolled his eyes. “Yeah, I’m ticklish. Don’t let anyone else know about it. I’d never live it down.”

“Oh no, never,” Hilary said with an impish smile. She suddenly sat up; delighted that she got a chance to know something about Kai that no one else in the world knew about. She tilted her head as she looked at him. “So where else are you ticklish?”

“I’m not telling. I think I’ll let you find out on your own later,” Kai drawled as he caught her hands and kissed them. He looked at her as she stayed still, staring at him. “What?”

“Nothing, nothing at all,” Hilary said quickly. She couldn’t stop the shiver of delight going through her as his words went through her mind. ‘Later- he said later. And he doesn’t want me to forget him. And he said he’d try to not be a shadow or Neanderthal. So all that means he definitely wants a relationship, right?’ “I think that Mariah’s right: It is fun being on top.”

“Did she now,” Kai drawled as he interlaced her fingers with his. “Did she say why?”

Hilary shook her head. “Like I said, she never went into detail about why she liked being on top. She said that it was just one of the best ways to have fun with Rei- and that if I should ever have sex, she highly recommends it, because, according to her, discovery about what can be done in that position is half the fun.”

“Isn’t it just,” Kai muttered as he kissed her hands again. He placed them on his shoulders, making her tent over him slightly. He brushed the hair away from her face as the other hand traced down her collarbone. “So what else did she say about the things she does with Rei?”

“She said that it’s best to use silk scarves to tie him up and that he really knows how to use his tongue. I don’t really get the scarves- that sounds too much like a bondage thing to me, but the tongue thing. But-” Hilary had to blush as she looked at him shyly. “I think I can say that you know what to do with your tongue.”

“Glad that you think so,” Kai drawled as his hands gathered her breasts, kneading them. He smiled as she leaned into his hands. “But don’t knock the scarves just yet. Because, it’s just as Mariah said, discovery is half the fun.”

“Oh-okay,” Hilary gasped as his fingers gently squeezed her nipples between them. Her nails dug into his shoulders. She had to throw her head back as his fingers worked their magic. “Kai-”

“Lift up and move down, Hilary,” Kai directed hoarsely as he brought his knees up. He braced her with his hands as he gritted his teeth. Her slit landed directly above his hardness, making him all the more harder. “Now lean back against my knees.”

“Oh,” Hilary moaned as Kai slipped inside her, filling her. She stayed still, relishing the feel of him inside her. “This feels- this feels so good.”

“Doesn’t it?” Kai agreed hoarsely as he pushed himself more into her. He gritted his teeth as she moaned. “Now…if you sit-sit straight up- you get to control it all.”

“Like-like this?” Hilary gasped as she did what he said. She gasped as Kai went even deeper into her as he arched is back. She gasped as she tilted her hips and he was even more inside her. She felt like purring when she used her inner muscles to squeeze him. Her eyes gleamed at his contorted face. “I think that I like this position, too.”

“Thought you might,” Kai gasped as she used her inner muscles to squeeze him. “Now if you move a little-Jeez!”

“Oh,” Hilary moaned as that tiny movement slammed pleasure right up her spine. She gritted her teeth against the wonderful feel of him as she braced her hands on Kai’s shoulders, gaining more leverage and control as she loomed over him. She gasped as she felt his hands on her breasts, kneading them. Her eyes locked with Kai’s as she rode him slowly, making him gnash helplessly at the air as she panted, “I-definitely-like-this!”

“Do tell,” Kai gasped as she moved painfully, slowly, up, down and around his swollen member.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Boys, I am very disappointed with you,” Mr. Dickenson said as he paced in front of the teams involved with the altercation. “Fighting in the middle of a press conference! Bladers hurt! Three reporters in the hospital with minor injuries! Furniture and cameras- all damaged! I would like to know what was the cause of all this!”

Mr. Dickenson faced the teams and winced as he looked them over. Rick was holding an ice pack against his head as he wiped blood from the side of his mouth. Max was sporting a shiner as his mother bandaged his left arm. Rei was holding still as Mariah wrapped his wrist while Lee was soaking his ankle in a tub of ice. Tala held an ice pack against his temple as Max’s father applied ointment above the cut over his right eye. Bryan glared out of his good eye as he dabbed a wet cloth against his lip. Garland hissed as Ming Ming applied an ice pack against his nose while Crusher remained stoic as Hiro wrapped up his hand, his sister Monica at his side. Miguel winced as Mathilda cleaned the cut on his cheek.

“Yeow! That hurt!” Tyson hollered as Robert applied antiseptic over his hand. He glared at Robert. “Can’t you be a little more gentle?”

“After this huge feat of stupidity you pulled? No, I can’t,” Robert said shortly as he applied more antiseptic over Tyson’s cuts.

“Are you trying to kill me?” Daichi screamed as Johnny placed a cold pack against Daichi’s mouth. “That stings!”

“It only hurt for a moment and you know it,” Johnny snapped. “Keep it there or it’ll go where no beyblade’s gone before.”

“Just shut up and take it, Tyson,” Hiro said calmly as he finished with Crusher. He turned and glared at his younger brother. “You don’t know what you caused because of your stupid fight. And what was it about?”

“Yeah, Tyson! What was up with the fight?” Max demanded as he pulled away from his mother.

Tyson glanced at Lee and looked away. “It was nothing.”

“Must have been some trash talk to have gotten to you little boy,” Bryan sneered as he pulled the cloth away from his mouth. “To get us all into this little brawl of yours.”

“It wasn’t trash talk! It was down right insulting!” Daichi yelled as he clenched his fists.

“Oh, really,” Tala drawled as he looked at the little red head. “For it to be really insulting, then it must have been true!”

“Why you!” Daichi started to leap at Tala when he felt Tyson’s restraining hand on his shoulder.

“And I’m telling you that it was nothing!” Tyson snarled as he looked at Tala then at Bryan. He saw the accusing eyes of everyone and snapped, “Look, I didn’t mean to cause a fight, all right? I didn’t mean for everyone to get hurt! I just snapped and lost my temper at Lee when I wasn’t supposed to, all right?”

“No, it’s not all right,” Mr. Dickenson said quietly. “There are players hurt, reporters in the hospital, physical damage to the press room. Saying that it was about nothing and just apologizing as if nothing happened is not going to make everything right, Tyson.”

“What’s- what’s going to happen?” Daichi asked as he looked at Mr. Dickenson fearfully.

“I don’t know, Daichi,” Mr. Dickenson said as he shook his head. “My goodness, we haven’t had a scandal this big since the big fight outside of Kane and Jim’s room in Paris.”

“It wasn’t all that bad,” Tyson winced as he remembered the old scandal. A several fan girls, intent on dating either Kane or Jim, staked out their rooms. Each had come separately and each were completely surprised by the others presence. The argument outside caused the door to open, and some girls who had broken into their rooms to steal a souvenir became the source of their wrath as they assumed that the girls were Kane’s and Jim’s girlfriends. Needless to say, a huge cat fight ensued, destroying the room and spilling out in the hallway, where there were several reporters waiting. Questions of underage impropriety and hanky-panky on the parts of the bladers and the fans were brought up as well as several ethical issues. It took the BBA months to calm the press, and especially the parents, down. “It really wasn’t.”

“And it really wasn’t all that good either,” Hiro said shortly as he crossed his arms. “Mind telling us why you were trying to belt Lee? And why Daichi was trying to bite Rei?”

“So what are you going to do, Mr. D?” Tyson demanded as he ignored his brother.

“I’ll have to think about what the proper response to this would be,” Mr. Dickenson said as he shook his head. He stood up tiredly. “I’ll have to make some calls and make an announcement in the morning. But I can tell you that it will not be an easy announcement to make.”

“Oh? So then no decisions will be made until morning?” Mariah asked sweetly as she looked up from Rei’s bandaged wrist to Mr. Dickenson. At his nod, she smiled brightly. “Good.”

Then before anyone knew what was happening, Mariah marched over to Tyson, bitch-slapped him into the wall then she spun to ram her fist into Daichi’s cheek. The males of the room stood in fear as Mariah stood over Daichi and Tyson and glared at them. “Don’t you ever think to try and hurt my Rei or my brother Lee again or else I’ll pound you into the dirt, you little ant! You got that?!”

“Mariah,” Lee groaned as he covered his eyes and shook his head. “You’re a girl- you’re not supposed to be hitting guys.”

“Shut up, Lee,” Mariah gritted out as she glared at her older brother. “We both know that we’re Minx Tribe and I can do a lot worse, so stuff it.”

“Let her be Lee,” Rei chuckled as he looked at Mariah. He gave her a crooked smile. Spirits knew how much it turned him on to see her so fiery. “She does whatever she wants and we both know we can’t stop her though I’d rather not see her hurt her good hand because she has that competition tomorrow afternoon.”

“Thank you, Rei,” Mariah purred as gave him a sweet smile. She turned to glare at Tyson and Daichi who were cautiously staying down. “And as for you two- apologize!”

“Yes, ma’am!” Tyson and Daichi quaked as they held each other in fear. They shook even more when Mariah gave them another dirty look before she went back to Rei’s side. The two glanced at each other, fully aware that the both had a narrow escape from the girl’s full Minx fury because of Rei. Daichi wasn’t sure what it meant to be a member of the Minx Tribe, but he knew enough about the White Tigers that they were fierce, protective, dangerous when provoked and that Mariah had a mean left hook.

Immediately, Tyson and Daichi kowtowed to Lee and Rei. “We’re sorry! Sorry! We’re really, really sorry!”

Rei and Lee blinked at the sight. Lee felt sweat drop from his brow. “Uh-Tyson-”

Shaking his head, Rei laughed, “Enough, guys, you’re- ah, forgiven.”

“I dunno, I think they should bow a little bit more,” Rick said as he watched the display.

“Make them do something else,” Max suggested as he looked at Rei. “Like use his allowance to buy you a buffet dinner.”

“Did you say dinner?” Daichi demanded as he looked at Max. “I forgot that I was so hungry!”

“Think we can eat now?” Tyson said as he knocked his fist into Daichi’s head. He looked at Mr. Dickenson. “We can apologize to the press like this too, if you want.”

“Don’t say anything that you might regret, Tyson,” Max chuckled as he looked at him speculatively. “Mr. D just might have you do that if nothing else.”

“Heh, who cares?” Crusher scoffed as he looked at Tyson. “I just want to know why Tyson started the free-for-all-he at least owes us that. I haven’t been in anything like that for years.”

“Got the blood pumping, didn’t?” Rick agreed as he glanced at Tyson. “So come on out with it, why did you try to deck Lee?”

“Hey, it wasn’t just me that started the fighting,” Tyson said as he glared at Rick and Crusher. “Daichi was there too!”

“But wasn’t it you who caused two of the reporters to get stitches?” Monica asked quietly. “I’m sorry Tyson but I think you owe everyone an explanation, Tyson.”

“Yes- and his explanation to attack Rei had better be good,” Mariah snapped. “We had plans after the press conference.”

“And I bet Ming-Ming can guess what they were,” Ming-Ming simpered sweetly as she gave a sympathetic look at Rei. “Dull conversation at dinner and followed by an even more dull time. Too bad for Rei that there’s no one to show him a better time.”

“Time with me is never dull. Plus I’m better than any flashy show that has no substance,” Mariah said just as sweetly to her. “Right, Rei?”

“Absolutely,” Rei said as he placed his good arm around Mariah’s waist to show both of them that he was not interested- though he felt it was more to keep Mariah from seriously hurting Ming-Ming than to show his affection. He nuzzled her ear as he whispered, “Please behave so we can get out of here fast.”

“We’ll see,” Mariah cooed as she turned her head to smile at him. She saw Ming-Ming grit her teeth out of the corner of her eye and gave Rei a quick kiss. “Minx Tribe honor.”

“What’s going on?” Daichi demanded as he looked from Mariah to Ming-Ming and back again. “What does my attacking Rei have anything to do with your date?”

“It’s just the fact that you attacked Rei, you nimrod,” Tala sneered as he looked at the smaller player. “Jeez, where the hell is your leash, monkey-boy?”

“What the hell does that mean?” Daichi demanded as he glared up at Tala. He brought up his fists. “I don’t have a leash!”

“Hey calm down,” Tyson said as he placed a hand on Daishi’s shoulder.

“Where is Hilary, by the way,” Mathilda asked as she looked at Tyson. “I thought she was going to be at the press conference.”

“Hilary is not my leash!” Daichi snarled as he looked at Tala. “She’s not!”

“That’s what you guys think,” Johnny muttered as he looked at Daichi in annoyance. “And who was it that stopped you from hogging all the food at the buffet tables?”

Daichi scowled at Johnny. “That still doesn’t prove that’s she’s my leash! And plus she stopped Tyson from eating up everything, too!”

“And what did you just prove, Daichi?” Tala said exasperated at the obtuseness of the young blader. “Jeez, think about what you’re saying before you do it!”

“I do think about what I’m doing! Most of the time!” Daichi yelled back hotly. “And I’m still saying that she’s not my leash!”

“She was, but she had to stay to watch over Kai,” Rei said over Daichi’s tantrum as he looked at Mathilda. “He needed looking after and to be kept down so she was elected to do the job.”

“Hellfire Hillary was got the job to look over Kai? That’s priceless,” Ming-Ming tittered as she covered her mouth. “What’s she going to do- Scold him to death if he tries to get out of bed? Or will she make him stay down with some of her Tender Loving Fists?”

“Hillary wouldn’t hit Kai,” Monica protested softly as she looked at her brother’s teammate. “I can’t see her doing that.”

“Oh, Monica, dear, you haven’t seen her with Tyson or Daichi,” Ming-Ming said condescendingly. “She’s positively scary when she gets really angry.”

Robert looked sharply at Ming-Ming as she smiled sweetly at the group. Since the beginning, Ming-Ming had it in for Hilary and vice versa, but for some reason, this seemed beyond the usual cat snipes. “I have seen Hilary with Tyson and Daichi, Ming-Ming, and I can say that she has rarely used physical violence upon them unless they sorely deserved it.”

“Besides that might be true in Tyson and Daichi’s cases, but I don’t think that Hillary would have to resort to that with Kai at all,” Max drawled as he looked at Ming-Ming. “I mean, like Robert says, she rarely resorts to physical threats to get her way. And besides, I know that Kai will listen to her.”

“See? I told you Ming-Ming,” Monica crowed as she looked at the older girl.

“More power to Hellfire Hillary if she can get the Iceman to stay down when he doesn’t want to be,” Bryan chuckled. “Kai goes where he wants, does whatever he wants. Respects whomever he wants. ” He looked at Max and acknowledged his insight about Kai. “But you’re right. Even looking at it objectively, I can say that Kai definitely respects Hellfire Hilary. After all she’s not the type to use a cheap plot of losing bey-attack ring in an attempt to get a guy to notice her.”

“Oh really,” Ming-Ming said frostily as she looked dismissively at Bryan as he sneered at her. She ignored the insinuation that she tried to get Kai to talk to her by just that ploy. “If he’s as solo as you say he is, how can she get him to listen to her?”

“Oh, Kai will listen to Hillary,” Tyson said through gritted teeth. He glared at Ming-Ming. She was really starting to get on his nerves. If she continued sneering against Hilary, he’d do something to his precious Ming-Ming then apologize to Kenny later. “It’s like Bryan says. Kai respects Hilary so he’ll do as she asks- in his own Kai-way.”

Hiro agreed as he watched Tyson carefully. “Yes, Kai usually does whenever she’s around.”

“Plus she’s very good at First Aid, she’s bandaged us up more than a few time,” Max added blandly as he looked at Ming-Ming. There was something more going on between her and Hilary, there had to be for her to continue to sneer against her. “She’ll keep an eye on Kai.”

“Plus he acts like a hawk whenever she’s around,” Mariah yawned as she gave Ming-Ming a sugary smile. “You know, like a hawk swooping after its prey.”

“He does?” Tyson yelped as he stared at Mariah. This was news to him and he didn’t like it. “Then you mean that she’s safe with Kai?” Then he scowled. “And what do you mean by saying he’s like a hawk when she’s around? And what the hell is this swooping bit?”

“Indeed, what do you mean by swooping?” Robert scowled as he eyed Mariah suspiciously.
