Chapter 1: Bonding

Kai woke up in Rei's house. "What am I doing here?"
"You don't remember?" A voice says.
"Rei?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"What happened? My head hurts."
"Well, I don't know how to say this but your grandfather died and your mansion is destroyed..." Kai looked down, "Oh...yeah..."
"My mom said you can live with me, if you want."
"Why not, I have no where else to go..."
"Kai, I feel so bad, I don't know what to do."
"I don't care anymore about anything," Kai said getting up.
"Not even beyblading?"
"Beyblading is what took my life! You think I want to anymore? I never really liked it! I was forced to play it by my grandfather! I don't care anymore!"
"How can you say that? If you really didn't like it then why did you? Why did you fight with us?"
"I told you I was-"
"Bullshit!"
"What?"
"You could've quit if you wanted to but you didn't! You wanted to and you did with us, your friends!"
"I don't have friends!" Kai shouted turning away.
"Keep thinking that Kai, but you know what! As much as you reject us we still care for you! Fight for your friendship...me the most..."
"What?" he said surprised looking at Rei
"I crave for your attention, but you don't care, I tried my best at blading so I didn't disappoint you because I knew you wouldn't like me."
"What are you talking about?"
"This is hard to say but I-"
"Rei, it's time to get ready for school, I'm sure you can lend your friend some clothes. Just for today anyway," Rei's mom said. "Okay mom," Rei replied. His mom left the room. "What were you going to say?" Kai insisted. He had a look that he never showed before. Rei looked away. "We have to go," Rei said. Kai grabbed his arm.
"Tell me," he insisted, "I want to know."
"Um...Kai I...can't, I'm sorry..." Rei said pulling away.

To Rei's surprise, everyone from the blade breakers were in the same class. "Hi Rei!" Max said with a grin, "Long time no see buddy." Kai was in the back of the class room looking out the window. "Yo, bummer man, I heard what happened to Kai," Tyson stormed in. "Yeah me too it was all over the news!" Max agreed.
"I know! Rei I heard he's staying with you."
"Yeah, he is."
"I feel so bad for him though," Max said.
"We all do, but we can't do anything about it."
"Hey Kenny what's up dude?" Tyson said as he greeted Kenny at the door.
"Wow, everyone is here," Kenny said happily.
"Hey chief," Rei smiled.
"Did you guys hear what happened to Kai?"
"Yeah we did, he's over there," Rei said pointing to Kai.
"Hey Kai! Are you feeling okay?" Kenny asked. Kai looked at him and then back out the window. "Kai?" Kenny asked but Kai didn't respond. He didn't look sad, he looked angry. "Forget it chief," Rei said putting a hand on Kenny's shoulder.

All five of them walked home from school when they bumped into the white tigers. "Hi Rei!" Mariah said gleefully as she hugged him. "Hey Mariah," Rei said hugging back.
"Long time no see buddy," Lee said.
"Yeah."
"Oh Rei I missed you!" Mariah cried. Rei didn't really share the same feeling for Mariah as he did for Kai. Mariah loved Rei though even though he told her that he loved Kai. "We heard what happened Kai," Kevin said looking up to him. "So," Kai replied looking away.
"So! Why you-"
"Let it go, he's been through enough," Lee insisted. Kai walked past the white tigers.
"Well it was nice meeting you guys, bye," Rei said waving and followed Kai. Max and Tyson waved too and walked different paths. Rei and Kai went home and into Rei's room.
"Now what were you gonna say?" Kai asked again. His attitude changed toward Rei. Rei hoped that it was because Kai shared feelings for him as much as Rei did.
"I just wanted to tell you that I have feelings for you."
"Feelings?"
"I want to be with you?" Rei said looking away. Kai approached him.
"Really?"
