Cepheus: Shandarou!
�punches the air� I�ve finally out of my system �Chains of Love� so hopefully,
Kammyh won�t kill me and I can continue this fic� she doesn�t read it and she�s
not pleased I spend my time writing this one when I should write more TalaKai.

Oh, and, I was asked to write this one
BrooklynKaiTala, so it�s time to have Garland and Tala work out on their own
problems� otherwise it�ll be a problem. This IS GarlandTala! Damn it!

And, to all of you �since someone asked� no, Rei is
not in love with Kai. He just realized what Brooklyn is starting to feel and is
worried and sad for him since he also knows what Kai thinks at the moment. Or
at least, what Kai thinks he�s thinking at the moment. XD

Alluring Darkness

Chapter 08: Easing around

Really, he should try to ease on that painkiller.

Waking up from his painkiller�induced sleep, Kai had
found himself in Hitoshi�s car �once again.

For a second he wondered if they did arrive at Tyson�s
dojo �there was this faint memory of walking to the sitting room indeed� but
his mind was so blurred he couldn�t really remember. Then, he saw he had his bag
with him, so he supposed that yes, they did stop at Tyson�s.

�You�re up again?� Rei�s voice came from the back
seat. �Are you ok now?�

Turning his head to look at him, he saw golden eyes
sparkle with worry and some kind of emotion he couldn�t really read, and shook
his head to further clear it from the sleep.

�Hai,� Kai replied, not sure of Tala had revealed to
the raven haired blader what had happened outside of the dojo.

He was somehow sure he had, since they were living
together and it was obvious he had to know what Kai had. Rei nodded in relief,
smiling brightly. The Neko�Jin wasn�t the last bit angry of how he was forced
to let go all his previous plans of wooing Mystel to go back with the two
Russians, because after Tala had explained him what Kai was suffering, he too
was feeling rather guilty about it. To think that, he hadn�t even noticed the
pain Kai was going through.

�Don�t look so worried, pussy cat,� Tala smirked as
Rei yelped �that was new.

�Pussy cat?!� Rei�s eyes turned into slits as he proceeded to smash
his bag on Tala�s head, who on his part tried vainly to shift away, covering
his head with his arms in an attempt to protect himself. On the front seat, Kai
chuckled slightly, and Hitoshi chuckled as well.

�Thanks for the lift,� Tala said as the car stopped in
front of Kai�s manor. Yeah, it was indeed a manor.

�No prob,� Hitoshi replied. �I wanted to know where
Kai and you all lived anyway,� he smiled and winked in Kai�s direction with a
wave of his hand, �anything you need, call me,� with that he and his car disappeared
behind the corner.

Tala furrowed his brow and looked at Rei, who looked
back thinking the same, �is Hitoshi
hitting on Kai?� with an addition to Rei�s part, �as well?�

Kai, who was blind to everything, especially to
Hitoshi�s acting �being quite contented in his painless state� dismissed
completely the other two and walked inside, but soon he was cornered by his
friends. Both of them dropped their casual stances to look at him in worry and
mild anger, wanting to know why on hell Kai hadn�t told them about his hands,
or his problems.

Rei grabbed the slate haired teen by his arm �wary not
to touch his hands� and pushed him in the sitting room and on the couch,
sitting beside him with the red head.

For some seconds there was silence, since the Phoenix
did not want to start that awkward conversation, but forced by the two�s glares
he decided to oblige.

You know, it�s not nice to be in the middle,
in�between a scary looking and demanding cat and an equally scary looking and
demanding wolf. Kai felt like a bird caught in a trap.

�What?� he grumbled.

�Kai, what�s happening to you?� Tala�s icy azure eyes
were filled with worry and again, Kai snorted.

�Nothing. I had� a problem, that�s all,� he did not
convince either of them, though.

�Kai, don�t you realize that we are your friends? You
ought us some explaining!� Rei joined in, not leaving any space to more
excuses.

Kai sighed and closed his eyes for a moment, then he
looked warily at the red haired blader and at the Chinese teen, �I can�t� he
mumbled.

He felt stupid, because it was some sort of mental
block that caused him to panic when he looked at a beyblade, and it was stress
that caused the sheer pain in his hands. How could they force him to explain
this? He simply couldn�t!

How could he even think
about telling them? This was a weakness he refused to declare. He knew he was
weak, he knew he was just running away from the problem, but� he felt scared.
For the first time since he was away from Voltaire and Boris, he felt afraid.
Brooklyn was trying to humiliate him, to degrade him, to make him vulnerable
and weak� and he was accomplishing his goal completely.

Most of all because� he evoked in Kai something he
couldn�t recognize, and at the same time, he could. Fake feeling of longing.
Just like Black Dranzer.

He knew he should stop thinking about her, but he
couldn�t; to the others it had been a flicker three years before, but to him,
it was still real and present, as if she was with him and not in the bottom of
Lake Baikal.

Still haunting him, now with the appearance of
Brooklyn, and Zeus.

Faking interest. Faking warmth. Only to attract him
and drown him in darkness and despair�

It took him a lot to trust anyone after his experience
with Boris, Black Dranzer and the Abbey. But now he trusted the BladeBreakers,
even Daichi, he trusted Tala and Robert from the Majestics; he couldn�t trust
the others, but he could live around them feeling rather relaxed.

But not Brooklyn�

How could he trust him? Especially after the kiss.

A kiss that showed the other bladers that Brooklyn was
still stronger, was still in power, was still above him. Controlling him.

He didn�t want to be controlled!

Noticing he would not speak, Rei sighed in despair, �I
know this is not the way we should have asked you, but still� it�s about
Brooklyn, isn�t it?�

Kai�s eyes widened. In the rush of what happened with
the doctor and the painkillers, he�d forget Brooklyn and the kiss. But now, all
was coming back to him, together with the faint memory that� he had seen
Brooklyn when he was under the effect of his painkiller.

He had been there. Staring at him, saying something�

What?

Why Brooklyn was haunting him? Why Brooklyn wanted to
humiliate him so much?

�It�s not him!� he said, trying to sound cold and
emotionless, but failing completely, his voice rising to a high pitch.

Then he stood up and pushing the two away he exited
the room and disappeared around a corner.

Tala slapped his hand on his forehead, slumping on the
couch.

�It�s Brooklyn� he stated quietly.

�I knew,� Rei soon mimicked Tala�s defeated stance on
the couch. �I went to search for him some days ago, I think he met Brooklyn,
because� he was panicking and I didn�t know what to do to calm him down��

Tala closed his eyes. Brooklyn was more of a problem
than what he�d first thought. But they needed to sort things out. They really
needed it.

�Mendokusai yo,� Tala uncharacteristically mumbled.

�You read too much of Naruto lately,� Rei grinned and Tala
glared at him.

��

�Brooklyn?� Garland called.

No answer.

The teal haired teen sighed. That was quite
problematic.

Despite what he had said to the rest of the teens at
the party, Garland knew better than that. Garland knew Brooklyn.

Even if he�d been friends with the orange haired
blader only for a few years, he felt like he was the only person that really
knew Brooklyn. He knew of the darkness residing in his heart, but that was
quite normal, after all, Kai had one as well, even if Garland didn�t know
anything at all about it. He knew Brooklyn had hard time in taking interest
into things that were not animals or nature�related, and that he couldn�t have
normal interaction with other people.

And now, despite the lust over Kai�s passion, which
was what attracted Brooklyn at first �Garland was sure of that� something more
was blossoming, something that Garland had expected but not quite as strong.

Brooklyn had to deal with something new that he
couldn�t control and he couldn�t even understand, yes, this could confuse
anyone that went through the childhood Brooklyn had �Garland mildly wondered
what kind of childhood Kai and Tala had on their own.

Shaking his head at the thoughts he looked one more
time at Brooklyn�s closed door and walked to the gym, considering if he should
get some more training or if it was better to relax for a while.

The sound of a phone ringing shook him out of his
thoughts as he heard one of his siblings answer it.

�Garland! It�s for you! It�s someone called� uh,
Tala!� his older sister yelled to him, and he raised one eyebrow in surprise
�that was the last thing he expected.

Picking up the phone from his sister�s hand he looked
at her until she got the message and walked away waving her hands in the air,
�yes?� he felt it was safe to speak now.

His sister could be really annoying and eavesdropper.

�Garland? Hey, here�s Tala speaking� came the voice
from the other end. �I wanted to know, if you would want to come over tomorrow
at Kai�s for the match we discussed about�.

Garland felt a wave of fighting spirit hit him
straight on the chest and is face hardened up, �sure, anytime! Tomorrow you
say? Well, I�ll be there at three, get yourself ready to be defeated once
again�.

He couldn�t stop the wave of intense fire that was
burning inside him at the prospective of having a valiant fight against the red
head.

�I think that� if you bring someone with you, I don�t
know, maybe someone that has to beg for forgiveness, it would be ok,� Tala
added with a polite cough.

Garland felt a smile tug at the corners of his lips as
he nodded to himself, knowing that Kai�s friend wanted it to be done as fast as
possible. If on Brooklyn�s part the attraction was quite clear, despite what
the one experiencing it thought, on Kai�s part the things were getting dangerously
hard to determine.

Brooklyn needed to have a speech with Kai. Without
being his usual self�

�Fine, I�ll see if I can,� Garland hung up and
returned up in front of Brooklyn�s bedroom door, knocking on it softly,
�Brooklyn? I know you are inside here�.

Again, no answer �but the teal haired teen was sure
Brooklyn was not outside, for once.

�We�ll be going to Kai�s tomorrow. I have a match to
spar with Tala, and you will come with me�.

A shuffle from the inside told him that Brooklyn
heard, and feeling rather happier than before, Garland resumed his former idea
to go and train a little more �just to be sure to defeat Tala the next day�

��

Mystel glanced up at the blue sky, eyes resting upon
the white fluffy clouds, sighing in content as he gazed around from his spot on
the highest branch of some random tree; really, he didn�t even know where he
was, but the sight was quite breathtaking from there, so he figured it didn�t
matter if he did not know how he was supposed to find Garland�s house.

Hell, he couldn�t find the way around the city �or
anywhere else either� even if it depended on his life�

Stupid lacking sense of direction.

When he wanted to go to the park he ended up near the
river� and since he loved the park� he always ended up around the river side.
To think, people believed him to love
the river�

How amusing�

If people were to know that in fact, he wasn�t always
disappearing because he liked to, but because he quite often lost himself
wandering around, even when he was just searching for the bathroom, he would
end up making a very bad impression.

�After all, I
can stay here some more before trying to find my way towards Garland�s�� he thought, placing himself more comfortably on the
branch. �It shouldn�t be this hard, in
fact� I already know where it is� I just need to find it again��

He wasn�t even wearing his mask, because the warmth of
the sun was nice on his skin. He just wanted to stay up there some more, and
think�

About what?

A flash passed through his mind, and Mystel found
himself thinking about a certain ebony haired teen and his strange and unusual
behaviour.

Rei�

Hell, even that, when he was searching for Japan
instead he found himself in China, meeting with this freaky clan where all the
people resembled cats �usually not giving him that good impression� and meeting
with Rei �who on the other end, was absolutely divine.

Despite everything, Rei looked the pure essence of
grace and lethal beauty.

Mystel really didn�t know how to act around the
Chinese blader.

First he was always winking at him� and doing strange
things that caused him to blush and to feel� uneasy.

Like what he did at the breakfast table with the
syrup� that was unexpected.

He really liked Rei, but sometimes� he couldn�t
understand him.

With a sigh he resumed looking at the sky, wondering
if he should try to find where Rei lived at the moment to clear things out with
him once for all.

That would be pretty hard, considering his tendency to
get lost.

Nonetheless, he would try.

Even if only, to see Rei�s golden eyes�

Whatever that meant� Mystel couldn�t deny he loved the
way those eyes sparkled when they spotted him �him, of all people.

But first, he needed to go and find Garland�s house
�the captain of their team told him he would be well accepted here, if he were
to pass in the neighbours, and since Mystel lost the way to the apartment he
lived into two days ago�

Heh. Mr. Dickinson gave it to him, but he could never
find it. So, he slept twice onto some tree, never caring since it was warm and
it had never rained. Now, since the clouds looked like they were preparing for
a thunderstorm, he could use some kind of roof on his head.

Mystel sighed deeply and let himself fall from the
tree, catching a whiff of wind and jumping up high, looking down to the ground
in hope to see what he was searching for.

There was this playground he was sure he knew, and
after it, a busy street.

Then, this huge building� a grocery shop?

That, he didn�t remember at all�

Scratching his head in confusion, Mystel landed with
grace on the top of a lamp and jumped up high again, glancing around. He was
sure this way there was a bakery, instead, he found a laundry.

Strange.

Blinking he shrugged, obviously he got lost again.
Nothing too bad in this.

If only he could return to the tree he was before, he
was sure he could find the way to Garland�s house.

If only he remembered where was that tree�

�Well, that�s
fine, I am in the middle of the city, it has to be somewhere around here!� he thought to himself, shining with optimism.

�Hey! Mystel!�

Eyes gazed down discreetly and saw a flash of ebony
and two golden eyes.

Too much to ask for.

�Must be my
day,� he smiled brightly and with a
twist in midair he landed soundlessly near the Chinese blader, surprised to see
him here, in the first place.

Much to his discomfort, since he had forgot what Rei
usually did in his presence, Mystel looked as the raven haired blader smiled at
him flirtatiously and grabbed his arm. The Egyptian blader found himself
shocked when he couldn�t remove himself from Rei�s grip.

�Ano, you don�t really think I�ll let you go now, ne?�
Rei smiled rather devilishly and tugged Mystel to come along. �You can come and
help me with the groceries� by the way, what are you doing around here? I though
you liked to linger around the river neighbours!�

Mystel blinked, a rush of warmth spreading from the
spot where Rei was touching him to the rest of his body, and felt himself flush
lightly; he liked the contact�

�I was searching for Garland�s house,� he said,
smiling back and trying to ignore the sensations. �I thought it was around
there��

�I really don�t know, but you can come with me and ask
Kai� I am sure he knows where it is, or at least, he has his phone number� what
were you going to ask him?�

Mystel relaxed at Rei�s warm mood and smiled even
more, �I can�t find my way back to the house Mr. Dickinson rented me� so I
wanted to ask him if I could sleep over his house since this night it might
rain��

Rei stared at him with both curiosity and mischievousness,
the first because he was confused about what Mystel had said �it was a sunny
day!� and the latter because, well� that was his lucky day. Kai would be easy
to convince and so he would finally see where Mystel lived!

Yatta!

�I am sure Kai will let you in fir a night,� Rei
smiled and tightened his grasp on Mystel�s arm for a brief moment. �After that,
we can call Mr. Dickinson and ask where your house is� wait!� Rei stopped and
turned to him, surprised. �That means you slept out in the open the last few
nights?!�

Mystel smiled at him so brightly Rei had to bite his
lip hard to prevent himself from jumping on the Egyptian in the middle of the
street.

�Yeah,� Mystel replied.

Rei stared at him dumbfounded, while the blond
wondered what was wrong with that.

�Ok�� Rei shook his head and resumed walking, �come
on, let�s go to the market� I needed some things to prepare dinner�.

�You know how to cook? Really?� Mystel pried his arm
out of the Tiger�s grasp but enjoying the closeness he did not move away. �I
settled on instant ramen and things like this��

Rei groaned.

Sleeping out in the open, useless food� where in the
world Mystel lived?! Absolutely clueless, and absolutely adorable.

Oh, the possibilities�

Rei�s lips turned into a sly grin as he fastened his
pace, eyes glinting with excitement. Oh, yes. He could treat Mystel with food
alright�

��

Brooklyn, there again, was thinking about Kai.

He knew he should get some kind of hobby �thinking all
day about a certain slate haired teen would be considered an obsession if
people were to know� but he couldn�t.

Staying in his room reading Garland�s manga hadn�t
helped at all �still, he had never thought he would end up wishing for the new
volume of InuYasha to come out soon, nor to feel sorry for a certain character
called Count Cain, since all kind of horrible things happened to him when he
was young.

Neither reading a book had turned successfully �Armand
the Vampire only reminded him of Kai, and the sensual parts of it caused an inner
turmoil that was threatening to turn into the same situation that caused him to
relieve himself the night before.

He went outside to see if nature could help, and in a
way, it did �he gazed at a butterfly for half an hour before realizing he�d
spaced out from his spacing out to think about how beauty the butterfly was,
and how similar the crimson if its wings was to the one of Kai�s eyes.

Kai� he couldn�t really think about something else
than him. Why?

Ok, maybe some way he did care for him, but the more
he searched for a word to describe the feelings he felt for the slate haired
blader, the more he failed to find it.

It was just that�

What?

What could that be?

Why was his chest aching so much? Why were Kai�s eyes
haunting him? Why the thought of Kai asleep against his chest filled him with
warmth, so strong he felt painfully aware of the cold when he had retreated,
pulling Kai on the couch when Tala had entered the sitting room to pick him up.

And the content and� possessiveness when Tala let him
pick Kai up to place him in the car.

It felt right.

Right to carefully hold the sleeping teen in his arms
as he asked the red haired blader about his hands.

Right to hold him tightly against his chest, feeling
the warmth of Kai�s skin against his own, feeling his heartbeat in unison with
his�

Right to gingerly brush a finger on the still
mark�less face in awe, completely caught by the beauty of the sleeping face.

As if Kai belonged here.

As if� it was his place.

He wanted it to be his place.

And how wrong it felt to let Kai go. To place him in
the seat next to a fuming Hitoshi �though, Tyson�s brother�s face was really a
sight� and to feel that emptiness inside.

The cold.

He wanted to hold Kai again.

In his arms.

To feel their hearts beat together, to hold him and to
tell him how much he cared�

And this time, he wanted Kai to be awake, to feel he
didn�t mean any harm to him.

He needed Kai to feel his care. He needed him to�

� Need him.

Green eyes flickered with determination as he looked up
at the red sun that was slowly falling down, sunset burning with red fire and
orange, the sight absolutely breathtaking. Tomorrow he would be going to Kai�s.
This time, he wanted to make sure to apologize properly, and start walking in
the right direction and in the right way� towards Kai, not against him.

�Maybe,
really, I can ask something about what made him this cold and close,� Brooklyn wondered to himself, gazing distractedly at
a bee buzzing around his head.

He was going to solve the mystery that was Hiwatari,
Kai.

��

Cepheus: heh.
So, another chapter finished. I wanted to celebrate because I am finally out of
my first Japanese exam �even if I won�t know how I faired until six days. Er�
what do you think of this? Review, please!

It�s just me, or I made Mystel a mix of Ryouga and
Hatsuharu?

Mendokusai yo � �how troublesome� (Shikamaru�s quote from Naruto� I
love Shikamaru).

Btw, I will probably state my death by telling you
this but� I feel like posting a Naruto fic in the near future� yaoi, ShikaNaru,
ItaNaru or GaaNaru� heh� maybe one of each, but not all of them in the same
time.
