Yeah, I've started yet another fic…I can't help it. Well, I hope you enjoy either way. Don't know how long this one will be, three or four perhaps?

Curling a strand of loose hair behind his ear, Kai glances up towards the sky as he steps out of his room. Scattered clouds litter the sky, giving Kai the impression that it could easily shower at any moment, even though hints of blue peek out from behind gray clouds.

"I hope it doesn't rain until after I pick the blitz boys up from the airport," Kai mutters to himself as he places his car keys in his pocket, an expression of sheer irritation appearing on his face when that same strand of hair he curled behind his ear mere moments ago is back in his eyes.

Biting back a groan of annoyance, Kai patiently pushes the hair back behind his ear, his eyes shifting back towards the sky. The clouds appear to be thickening. He better leave soon.

Tyson Granger, the third world champion -as he keeps reminding everyone within hearing range- has decided that all the Beyblade teams should get together and just hang out like old times. There is a charity match coming up in a few days where a few of the teams will be participating in order to raise money for Kids with Cancer foundation. Kai will be participating, as is the blitz boys. Even though the event is still days away, Tyson wanted everyone to get together before hand just to have a get together party before the training for the match begins.

All the teams except for the fore mention Russians are here, but they will be here soon enough. Weather permitting, of course.

"Gah!" A loud voice suddenly cuts through Kai's thoughts, making him jump just ever so slightly, although he'd stab anyone with a fork if they dare imply that that noise startled him. "I'm so bored! Let's do something interesting!"

Rolling his eyes towards the roof of the ever familiar Granger's Dojo, Kai heads towards the familiar noise, knowing only one person could be that loud. Sliding open the door, Kai's thoughts are confirmed when he spies a certain midnight blue haired blader standing in the middle of the room, instructing the large group of his fellow bladers to think of something to do.

Stepping silently into the room, Kai slips in beside a certain blonde haired Spaniard who immediately welcomes his presence with a warm smile, shifting slightly so that his shoulder brushes against Kai's. Tilting his head back, Kai gazes up into his stunning blue eyes, a small smile of warmth also gracing his lips. He releases a small sigh as Miguel discreetly takes his hand in his, their fingers entwining themselves together. Resisting the urge to lean his head against Miguel's shoulder, Kai instead turns his attention to the large group of bladers before him, eyeing them off with subtle suspicion.

He has been secretly seeing Miguel for months now, almost a year actually. A year next month to be precise.

And they're going to do something really special for their one year anniversary. Let's just say it includes a secluded cabin on the beach and a week with no interruptions at all. Just the two of them, together, to do whatever they please. It's almost like a honeymoon, equipped with certain honeymoon activities…

Ahem…

The reason why they've kept their relationship a secret is fairly simply at the beginning; they didn't want anyone else to know as he knows for certain a small group of his fellow bladers don't exactly agree with same sex relationship. Kai could careless what they think, he's only concerned what they would say or do to Miguel. Say anything they want about him, but attack his boyfriend and you might as well start digging your own grave now.

However, they have told a few individuals. The blitz boys pretty much found out right away. Damn Ian and that portable camera of his. He had to clean his room everyday for a week just so Ian wouldn't use that tape of him and Miguel in a rather intimate -down right hot in Bryan's opinion- act together. Eventually, though he found that godforsaken camera and kept the film to himself.

Others who also know about them are of course Claude, who is Miguel's best friend from childhood and they tell each other everything. Claude was surprised at first, but quickly offered his congratulations. He's genuinely happy for his best friend, happy in knowing that he has finally found a piece of happiness in a life that has been less than spectacular. For the both of them.

And the other is Raul, who is in a secret relationship of his own; with Tala Ivanov.

They've been together for a few months now, and they have a very sweet relationship. Despite what many people think, Tala isn't some pervy redhead -although he does have his weak moments- and doesn't like to get in arguments all that much, unless of course, it's against someone who hurt his Raul. Then he'll pile drive them into the cement and then piss on their grave.

Yes, Tala is a little bit protective of Raul, not that Kai can blame him. Since learning of each other's relationships, the two of them have grown close. Kai is the first person Raul runs to when Tala does something he doesn't quite understand. Kai is Raul's confident and older brother figure.

And what Raul really needs is someone who would stand up for him, to help him gain a bit of self-confidence and someone to protect him whenever he feels slightly vulnerable.

Tala offers him physically protection while Kai offers him verbal. If something happens to Raul, Tala's first instincts is to hold him in his arms and look after him while Kai's instinct is to verbally rip the person who hurt him apart with words of malice. Of course, once Tala is sure Raul is ok, and if it's possible, it's his turn to physically rip that person a new one.

Raul is a shy and often at times seems emotionally unstable. He has a good relationship with his sister, Julia, but she has this domineering personality and tends to take out her frustrations on Raul, who simply cannot for the life of him, fight back. She cares about her slightly younger brother, but she is also often the first one to pick on him, prompting others to do so; but only if she starts it.

Looking over the group of bladers again, Kai's gaze immediately falls on the subject of his thoughts. Raul is standing quiet stiffly as two short bladers of mischief, Daichi and his newfound compliance, Kevin, certain him, seemingly poking fun at him.

Kai presses his lips into a thin line and must've tighten his grip on Miguel's hand as his sexy lover glances in his direction before glancing off towards Raul to discreetly call him over. Miguel knows all about Kai's brotherly friendship with Raul and in truth, helps him to fall even deeper in love with the dual hair enigma.

Raul glances up and his expression lightens a little when he spies Kai and quickly makes his way over to him, finding a sense of protection away from the teasing in Kai's presence. Relaxing slightly, Raul releases a sigh of relief.

"I'll talk with them later," Kai says under his breath, casting a critical eye at the two much shorter bladers.

"When is Tala coming?" Raul asks softly, his voice holding a tinge of sadness mixed with hope. It's been a month since he's been able to be with Tala and has missed him greatly.

And from the phone calls Kai gets from Tala in the middle of the night to whine in his ear, Kai dare concludes that Tala feels the same.

Glancing down at his watch, Kai realizes that he probably should have left a few minutes ago. "I should probably leave now," he mutters.

"No, no, NO!" A loud and familiar voice echoes over the murmurs. Everyone quickly turns their attention to Tyson with a mild sense of amusement in their gazes. "I refuse to play Charades! I hate that game!"

"Only because you suck at it," Hilary is quick to point out, earning herself a few snickers from her fellow girlfriends.

Max, the ever peacemaker of the group, quickly butts in before the every familiar brawls between Tyson and Hilary erupts with a suggestion of his own. "Why don't we just past the time playing truth or dare?"

Rolling his eyes at the suggestion, Kai can help but feel a sense of annoyance. He has never liked that game, for him it simply leads to trouble. People forced to do things they don't want to do, humiliating themselves, answering embarrassing questions. It's a vile game and should be sent back to the bowels of hell where it originated.

Kai reluctantly removes his hand from Miguel's, letting his fingers trail of his arms to silently reassure him that he won't be gone long and turns to give Raul a look of reassurance as well. He hopes to sneak out of the room unnoticed by those around him. With luck he can get out and be back before anyone knows he's missing.

"Hey Kai." So much for luck, Kai inwardly groans. Turning around, Kai raises an eyebrow in Max's direction, who is sitting on the floor with his back against the wall of the dojo, looking up at him with a sense of expectation.

"Want to play, Kai?" he asks, making everyone else turn their attention towards him.

Again, Kai inwardly groans. He hates being the centre of attention. "I have better things to do at the moment," he says, trying to sound polite, but ends up muttering under his breath. "like picking the flint out of my pocket."

Miguel, with surprisingly superb hearing catches the gripe and chuckles softly to himself. "Need a hand?" he asks, just as silently, causing Kai to bite the inside of his mouth to stop himself from smiling.

"What did you say, Kai?" Max asks, seemingly picking up that there might be a silent conversation going on that he can't hear.

"I said I had to pick the blitzkrieg boys up from the airport," Kai quickly answers which seems to earn him a feminine whine from the corner of the room. Yet again raising an eyebrow in question, Kai turns his attention towards the noise and has to resist the urge to roll his eyes skyward when his gaze collide with the color pink.

Mariah folds her arms over her chest and pouts with an expression of annoyance marring her feline features. "They're coming, too?"

"Mariah…" Lee hisses at her in a warning tone, but only response he gets is Mariah turning her back on him and sticking her noise into the air.

"Yes, they are," Kai replies, trying his best to keep the air of annoyance from his tone, knowing all to well that Mariah, and her new best friend Emily, don't like the blitz boys all that much. Hell, they appear to hate them. "I asked them to come with the sole purpose of ruining your life. Sorry, about that."

"Couldn't the blitz boys get a taxi or something?" Eddy asks from the opposite corner of the room, a small sense of hope in his voice in diverting a potential verbal fight. The basketball player is oddly politer than the rest of his American teammates and tends to keep the peace the best he can. When Kai first meet him, he assumed that he's be as arrogant and obnoxious as the rest of his teammates, however he soon learned that he is actually quite softly spoken and rarely brags about his endeavors.

"I'd rather pick them up," Kai replies to his answer, his tone just as soft as he has no ill feelings towards him, but can't help but wince at the thought of the blitz boys crammed in the back of a taxi, Ian purposely giving the driver the wrong directions and the bill that Kai will have to pay when they finally do arrive.

"I'm going now," Kai announces as he turns to leave, but not before sharing a look of promise that he'll return soon with Miguel and a look of reassurance that he'll be fine on his own with Raul.

"Just one more thing before you go," Ray suddenly butts him, causing Kai to inwardly groan with annoyance at being held up again.

"What?" Kai bites out.

A devious feline grin appears on Ray's lips as he asks a simply question. "Truth or dare?"

Kai sends Ray a glare before sighing in defeat and biting out a quick reply. "Truth."

If at all possible, Ray's grin turns even more mischievous. "If you were in a secret relationship and wanted to come out to the world, how would you do it?"

Oh, how is Kai going to answer this question? You'll just have to wait and see!
