Angel & Devil

Angel and Devil

Summary: The Bladebreakers have a new member. But what does this mean for Kai and Rei's relationship? And what secrets does he have to hide? Lemon in other chapters. KaixRei, ReixOC, with a dash of TysonxMax.

Rumi-chan: Hey, don't do that to Kai... it's Rei's job. *evil grin* But do what you want with Boris. *evil-er grin*

SoulSister: Yeah, that's basically the storyline so far. About Xan, I can't tell for the sake of suspense, though evidence SEEMS to point that way.

Krixel: Oops... this chapter will probably make you hate Rei even more.

trueangel: After a break, I'm back!

Angst: Yay! More angst in the story...

trueangel: Still the same...

Angst: What's wrong with angst?

trueangel: Nothing, nothing... Anyway we have a guest from the cast of "Angel and Devil" with us today.

Angst: Boris. Great.

trueangel: Hey, be nice. We are supposed to ask him questions.

Angst: Here's one - Can you do the disclaimer?

Boris: Do you insult my intelligence? Me, Boris Balkov, unable...

Angst: Cut the crap. Prove it.

Boris: trueangel does not own Beyblade or any of the characters contained herein, with the exceptions of Xan and Dreamer. The characters are the property of the BBA, except where stated otherwise. THERE!

Angst: Ok, now that we got these matters out of the way, let's begin.

trueangel: Hey!

Angst: Shut up. I'm in control here. Start writing.

trueangel: *grumble* Fine...

Chapter 6 The Dilemma of Rei

(A/N This story reverts back to 3rd person POV)

"Kai! Wha-?"

Kai collapsed into Rei's arms.

"Xan! Guys!" Rei yelled. "I need some help!"

Soon, all the Bladebreakers were awake, busy helping Rei take care of Kai. Kai was lying on his bed , still out cold. Rei had insisted on tending to Kai's wounds himself. Max was calling the police, Mr. Dickenson and Mariah, telling them that Kai was safe. Injured, but alive. He had also phoned a doctor, who was arriving soon. Kenny was pulling out medicines, gauze, and anything else which might help Kai. Tyson and Xan were bringing Rei whatever he needed: hot water, cotton swabs, and things like that.

Rei took a cotton swab soaked in Dettol and started to disinfect Kai's wounds. As the medicine touched K raw raw skin, his body flinched, but Kai remained unconscious. Holding back tears, Rei continued his job.

"Kai..." Rei said painfully, almost as though he could feel Kai's pain.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Max said. "It's probably the doctor."

Sure enough, Max soon reentered with the doctor just behind him. As the doctor looked at Kai, he shook his head.

"He looks bad, but he'll survive. Ok, let me take over from here."

But as he looked at the 5 worried faces, he realised none of them would rest until Kai was well taken care of.

"Ok, you can help," he conceded.

*The next morning*

Rei was sleeping in a chair in a corner of the room. The rest had returned to their rooms to sleep. Rei had wanted to stay up and keep vigil, but the doctoer had insisted that he get some rest. He had promised to watch Kai all night. Reluctantly, Rei had wen to sleep. Now, the sun shone brightly into the room. The doctor shook Rei awake gently.

"Rei. Rei."

"Hmm? Oh. Is anything wrong?"

"Kai's fine. He's awake."

"Thanks."

"No problem. I'll be leaving now."

"Do you need me to send you out?"

"No thanks. Spend your time with your friend." Then, in a lower tone, he added, "I heard you call his name all night."

Rei blushed as the doctor left the room. Then, he walked over to Kai's bed. Seeing Rei approach, Kai turned away. Rei sat on the bed beside Kai.

"Kai..."

Kai remained quiet as a tear rolled down his right cheek. Rei saw it and knew he was still brooding over what happened at the mall.

"Listen, Kai, I'm really sorry. I just..."

"I'm not in the mood to talk," Kai said coldly.

"Please, Kai..."

They heard a faint knock at the door. Rei stood up to answer it. Seeing it was Mariah, Kai turned away again.

"Mariah!"

"Hi, Rei. I saw the doctor leave as I came in. Is Kai ok?"

"He's awake."

"That's good." Mariah peered over Rei's frame, which was blocking the door. "Hi, Kai."

Kai kept quiet.

"He's still..."

"I understand. I'm here to talk to him."

"Oh... come on in."

Mariah followed Rei into the room. She sat in front of Kai. Kai turned away, but Mariah ignored it and began talking.

"Kai, I know you're really upset over what happened in the mall. I came over to..."

"Shut up!" Kai exploded. "Shut up! Stop treating me like some fragile weakling! Stop toying with me! Voltaire once told me that emotions are a weakness. I should have believed him then. But I've learnt my lesson."

"Quiet, Kai! Rei doesn't love me, he truly loves you! Even if he did, I... I don't love him!"

Rei raised his eyebrows by the smallest fraction.

"How am I supposed to believe you, after what I saw?"

"Because... because I love Lee! Go ask him if you don't believe me!"

"You... love Lee?"

"Yes!" Mariah was getting emotional now. "Since the day I met him! What happened in the mall was just an accident! It was just because we hadn't been together for so long!"

"You... Rei, I'm so sorry! I should never have doubted you... I..."

"It's all over now, Kai, it's all over now." But Rei couldn't look at Kai in the eye. The guilt of last night still weighed heavily on him.

"Mariah, I'm sorry for shouting at you..."

"It's ok. We were all worked up." Mariah paused for a moment. "Well, I'll be going now."

"I'll see you out," Rei offered.

"No need."

"Kai, can I talk to Mariah for a while?"

"Sure."

Rei and Mariah walked over to a corner of the room where they were out of the hearing range of Kai.

"Why didn't yoll mll me you love Lee?"

"I don't."

"Then why..."

"I just needed some way for Kai to believe me. I love you, Rei, but I realise you will be happier with Kai than with me."

"Oh..."

"Well, if there's nothing else I'll be leaving."

"See you around."

Rei watched as Mariah walked out of the room, her body trembling after the emotional outburst. He then walked back to Kai. An uneasy silence passed between them after that ripple in their relationship. Kai sought to cover up that hole once and for all. He leant closer and closer to Rei, and Rei's heart beat faster and faster. Thoughts raced in his head, chased each other, guilt, passion, lust, emotion all intertwined...

Their lips connected, and for that instant, Rei felt above anything else. Nothing else mattered anymore, as all the thoughts in his mind to make way for only one person: Kai. It mattered not if Kai would hate him and kill him tomorrow. It mattered not if the guilt of having slept with Xan was going to haunt him forever. It mattered not if Kai would suddenly regret forgiving him. All that mattered what that he loved Kai, and Kai loved him now. Past and future made way for the present. Mariah and Xan made way for Kai. All of space and time condensed into that magical moment, that single urge of passion and limitless love.

Reluctantly, they ended the kiss.

"Rest well. I love you, Kai."

"I love you, Rei."

Dreamily, Rei walked out of the room. He opened the door. But he he saw outside made every worry come crashing back down.

"Xan."

"Morning, Rei. Is Kai ok?"

"He's fine."

"Rei, about last night..."

"I love Kai and only Kai, Xan. We've just salvaged our relationship, and I don't want to lose it again." Saying that, Rei stalked off.

"Rei, wait! I... I love you, Rei!"

Rei froze. Within a few minutes, three people had said 'I love you' to him. Mariah folorn and mourning a love that could never be. Kai passio and and intimate after that magical kiss. And now Xan, rushed and desperate to cling on to a dying hope. He spun around.

"What?"

"Ever since last night, I've been thinking. I feel different with you, Rei. You make me forget all my worries, my troubles, my identity. I need you."

"I cannot let Kai take another blow."

"One last time, Rei. Please. One last time to make me forget."

"I..."

"I don't want to haunt your relationship forever. Help me forget, Rei."

"One last time?"

"One last time. We started it, only we can end it."

"Just one... and you'll leave me and Kai alone?"

"Yes."

"I already belong to Kai..."

"I know. That's why I want you to take me."

"I... but... fine. One last time."

"To make me forget."

Xan and Rei walked quietly downstairs to Xan's room. Xan pushed open the door. It was empty. *Kenny's probably watching Tyson and Max play,* Rei thought. Xan let Rei in, before locking the door behind him. Both of them took off their own clothes in silence. Xan laid on the bed, his butt in the air. Rei was right behind him, his manhood placed at Xan's entrance.

"One last time," Rei whispered.

Rei pushed into Xan. Xan screamed in pain. He clutched his own dick and started jerking it, ignoring the fact that his fingernails were digging into his own skin.

"Forget, Xan!" Rei screamed. "Forget! Know only that I love Kai!" Rei's intensity increased with each forceful thrust. He gripped Xan's waist, nails digging into soft flesh and hard bone. He leant down and bit forcefully on Xan's shoulder as he gave one last thrust and exploded deep within Xan. At the same time, Xan sprayed his seed all over the sheets.

The two of them collapsed into a pool of blood and cum.

Upstairs, Kai wept.

*That evening*

Rei knocked on Kenny's door. Hearing no answer, he opened the door. Rei saw Xan lying on the bed with his eyes open.

"Where's Kenny?"

"He went out with Tyson and Max to buy some food."

"Oh." Rei turned to leave.

"I still love you."

Rei spun around.

"You were supposed to forget!" Rei screamed.

"I can't. I need a few more times."

"A few..."

"Please, Rei. I want to forget. One more time."

"One more time," Rei repeated wearily.

Angst: Get lost.

Boris: Fine! *storms off*

Angst: You should have thought of that when you invited him.
