Disclaimer: I own nothing. I am poor.

Shags: Hey ya'll, well I know I'm dumb for writing yet another story with so many unfinished ones just floating around the air. They'll be finished…some day. I promise. But for now, I give you the take of what I think Ian was doing during the third world championships, and where he was and such, the idea has been in my head for a while, yet I could never really tell you why.

BTW, why do I always write Beyblade stories, I love tons of other animes and movies and such. The "world" known as my mind is crazy. Anywho, on with the story, Enjoy, and please review, it'd be muchly appreciated.

Chapter One: Left Behind

He stood staring into the ice below him, the cold winds whipping his hair gently into his face. Anger, frustration and sadness coursed through his mind, but his face remained perfectly calm, thanks to the many years of training at the abbey.

Anger at his team for leaving him behind.

Frustration towards himself for not being good enough.

Sadness, because his only friends were leaving him alone, for the first time in his life.

Gentle footsteps in the snow sounded from behind him, he whipped his head around and stared into the face of his captain, his teammate, and his friend.

"Tala" He stated simply, rearing his head back around to stare at his reflection in the ice.

"Ian, it was never meant to happen this way," Tala told him.

Ian heard something in Tala's voice that he had never heard before, sympathy, kindness, and sadness. It triggered painful memories in Ian's mind as to why, he'd never heard his captain use such a tone of voice.

"I know, I'm fine" Ian said sharply, still unable to look Tala in the eye.

"Your not fine"

"How would you know, do you live inside my mind, inside my heart, if it even beats anymore" Ian shot at Tala with contempt.

"Your heart beats just like everyone elses does." Tala told him, moving closer to his friend.

Ian snorted indignatly. " Then why is it I feel nothing, I'm numb, I know nothing but anger and hate, if I cracked open this ice with my foot and jumped in, I would not feel the cold, because I'm not able to feel, and the world wouldn't notice, I'm just another insect wiped from the miserable planet"

There was silence for a few minutes before Ian spoke again "Your going to miss your plane, you should go, I'll see you when you get back." With that said, Ian walked past Tala, towards there "Home".

Tala stood in his spot for a few moments, before shaking his head gently and crossing his arms over his chest.

"If you think you're the only person in the world who has suffered, your sadly mistaken Ian, and I hope you soon realize that.." Tala spoke to himself softly as the wind made gently soothing noises in his ears.

He walked towards the airport with the other Blitzkreigboys. Leaving one behind.

End Chapter One.

Okay, I know that sucked, and that it was extremely short, but give me some feedback, and where to take it and so on and so fourth.

Good or Bad, review.
