Rei: o.O -hugs his sugar cookies-

Takao: cousie don't own Beyblade and I hate doing this.

Rei: well at least you're not wearing a collar.

Salya: oh shut up.

Aya: She did this in the morning so she's a little bitchy.

~Autumn~

Green fades to brilliant red

Birds fly southward

Flowers fade to dust

Children in two straight lines, school bound

Days grow longer...It's Autumn.

She sat at her vanity, brushing her hair. She was thinking about dying her hair black, even if Kai tells her not to. She sighed and turned around after putting her hair in a low braid. "Kai..."

"Aya.. Shut up..." He mummured, rolling to his side away from Salya.

She sighed and stood up, only for the door to open and Aya to pin Kai. She blinked lightly. "o-ok..."

Aya smirked a little. "Oh Aniki, it's time to go back to school." She blinked when she was thrown to his left on Salya's side on the bed. "Aniki?"

"Oh dear sister... RUN!!" Kai growled at her. He sat up, glaring.

Aya eeped and ran out of the room and out of the house as Salya sighed.

She walked over to the bed, and laid on her back. "Kairo, are you going to kill her this year?" She looked up at him.

He looked at her. "No. It's the only way to make her go away." He said with a yawn. He got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

-on the way to school-

She glared lightly at her cousin who was grinning at her. "I hate school..." She whispered to herself, sighing. She looked at the sidewalk, thinking about what happened at the beach house. She was took out of her thoughts when Kai slide his hand into hers. She blushed lightly but kept her head down.

Takao blinked lightly, seeing his cousin blush. "What happened to ya this summer?" He grinned a little when they didn't answer. "Hey Aya, I think I know what happened."

Aya looked at her brother than Takao. "Uh Takao, I think they just hang out like we did." She blushed a bright red when Takao whispered something in her ear. "I d-don't think t-they did t-t-that, Takao..." She looked at the sidewalk, mummuring something about her and Takao.

Salya heard what she mummured and giggled a little. "Takao, you know that Kai hates cuddling and stuff like that." She looked up and at her cousin who blinked.

"Oh yea. Kai's the cold-hearted one in the team yet he's with... Ow" He got hit in the back of the head. "What was that for, Sal?"

"Something." She smiled a little, seeing Rei and Max waiting on them. She let go of Kai's hand and ran of to Rei. She stopped in front of the Neko-jinn and smiled. "Hey Rei-Rei. Hey Maxie."

Kai rolled his eyes, walking past them and into school. He known that Rei was her best friend as well as her exboyfriend.

Rei smiled at them. "Hey guys." He then leaned close to Salya's ear and whispered, "Later, I need to talk to you." He leaned back and smiled at her.

Takao hugged Max and smiled at his best friend.

-blah lunch time-

The group sat under a tree, far from the rest of the students. Takao sat by Aya who was by Max. Next to Max was a neko-jinn girl that just started school that year. Next to her was Mariah and then Rei. Kai and Salya was on the other side of the tree.

Kai looked at Salya who was leaning on his arm. A little smile crossed his lips, seeing that she fall asleep on him. He looked at the sky, thinking. 'What did Grandfather mean by the time to soon?' His smile disappeared with that thought.

//Kai, do you ever listen? Salya's father might take her soon.\\ Dranzer sighed in his mind.

'What?'

//God, you don't listen. If you don't keep her close then she'll leave and Takao wont be able to help.\\

'So you're saying, I need to tell her my feelings soon...' He sighed and looked down at the sleeping blond on his arm. 'Guess I will but not just yet.'

//Whatever.\\

Kai jumped a little when Rei appeared in front of them. "What?"

Rei looked at Salya then him. "So you did, didn't you?" He asked, sitting there.

"Did what?"

The neko-jinn sighed. "Did you pin her and did it without being drank?"

Kai blinked. "I was drank when I did it the first time with her?"

Rei nodded then grinned at the Russian. "Thanks for answering my question. Now the question is, did you use protection?"

Kai blushed and cussed in Russian.

Rei sighed. "Better hope she isn't you know." (She's not...)

Just then Salya yawned, rubbing her eyes. "What are you two talking about?"

Both males sighed, being glad she didn't heard.

Rei smiled at her. "Nothing, Sal."

She looked at him then Kai. "Whatever." She yawned again. She then stood up, fixing her school uniform skirt. "Don't we need to go back to class?"

Rei nodded. "Yea."

-Last class-

Salya had her head down on her arms. "I hate this class." She mummured to herself, not knowing that Kai was listening. It was History and the teacher knew that Salya was better at listening if her head was down, so he didn't say anything to her.

Kai on the other hand, wasn't listening to the teacher but to Salya's mummuring. He knew that history wasn't her strong class nor her favorite. His eyes was on the teacher. His right hand was under his desk, playing with Salya's black ribbon that was in her hair.

Behind him was Rei. He was listening to the teacher and taking notes for Salya. No one knew that he was the one doing all of Salya's work. Everyone knew that Salya hated school and anything that went with it.

-After school- (Not good at school parts, so I'm skipping it. Sorry.)

Salya walked into her and Kai's room and laid on her side of the bed. She rolled to her side, looking at the window. It was a little windy and the tree near the window was moving. She closed her sky blue eyes as the door opened and closed. (Note that her eyes change colors but stay a shade of blue.) She twitched a little when she felt the bed move slightly.

Kai crawled over to her and laid next to her. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "Rei told me to let you know that he has all your homework." He whispered in her ear, locking their fingers together.

She blushed lightly. "Ok...Kai.." She said, sleepily. She unlocked one of her hands and touched Kai's cheek. She then unlock her other hand and turned around in his arms. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

He smiled at her, lowing his lips to her. He lightly kissed her as she touched his cheek again, outlining his blue triangles tattoos. He deepen the kiss, moving one of his hand to behind her neck, pushing her closer.

She closed her eyes again and lightly moaned when she felt his tongue against her lips. She parted her lips, letting his tongue into her mouth. She blushed as he moved his tongue around, licking everything and her own tongue. She was too tired to fight with his tongue or him.

After awhile, he broke the kiss and sighed. "Tired?" He blinked as she lowed her hand from his cheek to his chest then cuddling to him. "Letting that as a yes." He sat his head on her head and lowed his hand to around her waist, hugging her.

She yawned lightly as she cuddled closed to his chest. "Kai... can I sleep like this..?" She asked with a small yawn. Before Kai can answer her, she was out cold.

He shook his head slightly and kept his arms around her. He twitched a little when the door opened.

"S-sorry to b-bother you, b-but what w-would you a-and Salya l-like for d-dinner?" Asked Maya shyly. She bowed slightly, keeping her head down.

Kai looked over to her without waking Salya. "Anything will work, Maya." He said, moving back the way he was.

Maya nodded. "k-k." She walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

He sighed. 'She must be still scared of me... oh well.' He placed a kiss on her head then placed his head back on hers. He smiled a little when he felt her move closer to him.

-next day- (what? I got bored with that. Oh this part will have more infor about the school and Salya's classes. Oh Lita/Aya is doing this part too.)

Salya sat in Art class, scribbling furiously on her page. For once she was actually intent on something she was doing in school. Although the assignment was more something for a elementary art class rather than a bunch of high school kids, she intended to make a point. This family portrait was going to tell a story no one wanted to hear.

Kai looked over from his practically empty page and blinked. Salya had drawn him, his grandfather, and herself. And on the right and left edge of the page, were representations of her parents walking away as if they really didn't care. 'Is that how she saw it for all those years?' he asked himself. 'As if they really didn't care. Well it actually seemed as if they didn't'. He opened his mouth to ask her about her drawing, only to get cut off by the second hour bell. And before he could say anything, she was out the door to third hour.

Salya laid her head down in third hour Literature, listening to the teacher drone on and on about Stephen King's The Shining and Rose Red . 'Kill me please' she thought to herself. She hated reading and usually either SparkNote'd whatever it was they were reading or simply asked Rei. Kai on the other hand, as she'd noted a time or two, usually paid Aya to do his questions and logs. "Kai," she muttered to him. "Just kill me now."

Kai glanced at her from doodling in the margins of the notes that Aya had made him. "Nope. If I gotta endure this hell, so do you. At least our sentence is almost up." he said,referring to the fact they would graduate before too much longer. "But look on the bright side..." he trailed off as she mock glared him.

"Kairo..." Salya muttered in irritation. "School does not, I repeat, Does Not Have A Bright Side."

Kai gave a little smile. "Of course it does. It's almost lunch time. And that means..." he sighed as she cut him off.

"That's a bright side how?" she grumbled some. "We'll have to sit and listen to Aya cram for a Social Sciences test she didn't study for because she was up until 2a.m talking with Takao. And Takao will just lase about because he already knows he's going to fail the test, even though Hiro and Kallie quizzed him on it five times." she glared lightly at him. "So tell me, . How is that a bright side exactly?"

Kai blinked some. "You DO know we don't have to spend lunch with them. We could always go to the roof." he said with a little chuckle. "We don't have to spend time with my annoying..." he again trailed off as the lunch bell interrupted something he was trying to say. "I swear the bells hate me today." He stood up and held out his hand to her.

Salya took his hand, a tiny blush line appearing across her cheeks. "Kai, why are you so nice to me? Especially when you act the way you do to Aya?"

Kai kissed her cheek. "When we were little, I swore to protect you. Aya, on the other hand, doesn't need it. She grew up in a loving home. You were born in hell. So does that answer your question?"

Salya giggled as they climbed up on the roof of the structure that housed the door to the roof. "Yep, that makes sense...I think." she said. She sat beside him and hugged his arm as he laid back on the roof.

Kai turned his head and looked at her. "How does that not make sense? The only way it doesn't make sense is if you're an idiot like Takao." he said with a small smirk.

Salya slapped his shoulder. "Quit teasing my cousin!!" she said. She blinked and blushed when he pinned her. "K-Kai?" she stuttered.

Kai french kissed her, keeping her hands pinned above her head for a few moments. He then put his hands up under her uniform top and began rubbing her nipples, still kissing her. Finally he broke the kiss and moved his lips to her neck and began kissing.

Salya let out a low moan. "K-Kai...." her voice was almost husky. She clawed at the roof. Then her eyes popped open and she gasped as a sensation appeared between her legs.

Kai slid down and pulled up her skirt, putting his head between her legs. He began licking her through her underwear. He froze as the roof door slammed open.

Aya's voice echoed around the roof. "Brother?" she called in her 'I'm actually worried' voice. "Sal-chan?" when she got no answer,they heard the sound of her footsteps leaving.

Kai gave a sigh,sitting up. "She has such great timing." he said sarcastically. He shook his head as Salya fixed her uniform. "We might as well head home, if my Darling Sister was here, then school's over."

Salya gave a smile. "Yay! Hell's over." she jumped from the door house to the roof. "So are we going the long way, or the short way." she looked up at him,giggling slightly as he did a jump Mystel would be proud of. "Show off."

Kai smirked slightly. "As Aya says, If you got it. Flaunt it." he crossed his arms. "I think we'll take the long way. You know my sister, what does she do everyday after school?" he shook his head slightly.

-Later-

Kai watched Salya out of the corner of his eye. She was being unusually quiet, which was unusual. But she was also hugging on his arm, which wasn't so unusual. He wasn't really sure how to gage what she was feeling. He opened his mouth to say something when Salya put a finger to his lips.

"Kai, I think I heard something." Salya said, straining her ears to listen.

Kai blinked. "I don't see how. With all this..." he trailed off as he heard it too. It was a very faint meowing sound. He almost didn't hear it at first. "Where is it coming from?" he asked Salya, his maroon eyes searching all around. Finally he spotted it.

Curled up next to a garbage can in an alley way by the bookstore, was a tiny white kitten. Or at least they had to think it was white. Over seventy percent of it's tiny body was covered in blood. Some of the blood was rust colored,which told Kai that the kitten had been there awhile.

"Kai!" said Salya as she rushed over to the tiny kitten. She knelt down by it, ignoring her left knee and the pool of blood. "Who could do such a thing? And to a baby kitten of all things!" she said softly.

Kai took off his school jacket,kneeling by Salya. He gently took the kitten from Salya,then quickly wrapped it in the jacket. "Some people know only cruelty." he said softly. He lightly handed the kitten to her.

Salya looked over at him with the Big Sad Eyes. "Kai,can we please keep it?" she asked,moving one step up on the arsenal and letting a single tear fall. "I promise he won't get in your way. And he'll be good."

Kai sighed. "Oh all right." he said as if it were some great irritation. "You can keep the cat,but the first strike and it's gone. You read me?"

Salya giggled and hugged the kitten gently. "Thanks Kai-Kai." she said as if she hadn't just resorted to tears...well a tear.

TBC

Salya: one more... to do.. -sighs-

Rei: -eyes the kitten-

kitten: :3 meow

Salya: If you are wondering, the kitten's name is going to be Rei or Raven. Don't know yet.
