Kai' POV

My name is Kai Hiwatari. I am the owner of Dranzer, the fire phoenix. My grandfather is Voltiare Hiwatari, he created the Demolition Boy's and tried to take over the world. That is very old news.
Okay, that's a lie. Its not VERY old news, it only happened a few months ago. But my Grandfather is having lots of fun now....... Heh....... In jail.
It has to be the worst feeling in the world, being used by someone who raised you, a member of your own family who wanted you to become a weapon to take over and destroy the world.
Anyway, in my arms is a lovely, cute boy. I should start this story from the begining...........

It happened a month after the World Chapionships. I decided to keep my distance from the other Bladebreakers, I can't help it, its been programed into me for so long now that its hard to get rid of it. I had finished training......... for awhile, I decided to go for a walk, get out of the wearhouse where I was training and see the sun, feel the breeze against my skin.
Then as I walked through a nearby park, I saw him. He caught my eye. I don't know how, he looked like any other normal kid around here, but there was an aura about him, something saying that he was different. I had to admit, he looked different. Ofcourse look at me, I have two toned blue hair, two shark fins on either sides of my face and crimson eyes. Who was I to judge him? He had beautiful white hair, down to his shoulders, pale skin and chocolate brown eyes. Okay, so compared to me he was normal.
I kept my eyes on him as he walked through the park, not in a hurry, but not very slow either. A nice normal pace. For whatever reason I followed. What was I thinking?!
I noticed that a few of my former gang followed him once he was out of the park. Now I had a reason to follow. These guy's mean business, and I doubted if the white haired beauty could handle them.
He had noticed and was trying to get away from them, but also trying to appear calm, not trying to attract any attention to himself. Until ofcourse he was trapped, he took a wrong turn. And for that mistake he would pay in blood.
The Blade Sharks were once my gang, then when I went off with the Bladebreakers they carried on as normal, until some of them realised that with me not being there they could do what they liked. That was once we were at the American Tornament, these guy's are very slow. So now they gave up on blading, apart from the handful..... Which would be three that I trained with for the Reginal Tornament.
Back to then, at that moment I saw one was coming close to the boy, who had backed up against a wall. Obviously not exactly athletic, as there was a railing above him that he could have climb on to and got away.

'Hey!' I decided to make my entrance, when they turned around to look at me, I noticed the white haired boy looked relived, but also worried.

'Kai,' One hissed.

'That's my name,' I told him, my eyes narrowed and they all left. That was a disappointment, Dranzer really wanted to kick the ass in too. So here I was, saving this white haired guy from my ex-gang member's, was I a good guy or what?!

The white haired boy looked nervious, not knowing if I was going to hurt him or something. I don't blame him, my clothes give off that vibe. I took a step towards him, trying not to look threatening.

'Are you all right?' I asked him, noticing fear in his eyes.

'Yes, thank you,' He said, with an English accent. Soft English accent I should say. Now here was a hard part, what do I do?!

'I'm Kai,' I held out my hand, I felt like such a twit.

'Bakura,' The white haired boy told me, and shook my hand.

And that was how we met. He had actually gotten lost while trying to find the hotel he was staying in. It was a family trip, however his father was away somewhere, and his mother died a few years ago*. I explained to him about my family, just to make things even. He told me about something called Duel Monster's, sounds bizzare, and I told him about bey blades.

'A phoenix?' Bakura asked, once I explained about bit beasts and my own dear Dranzer.

'Yea,' I said with a nod, and showed him my blade.

He looked, but didn't touch. Must have something to do with his English blood............ I decided to give him a demostration, and telepathicly spoke to Dranzer.

/Dranzer?/ I spoke to my bit beast.

/Kai?/ Dranzer replied, she had learned not to call me master, a word I hate with a passion.

/I want you to met a friend of mine./ I told her and I could feel her nodding; /In your phoenix form. I don't want to scare him off./

/Aww, Kai, you really are sweet!/ Dranzer teased me.

I realised my blade and Dranzer rose from her bit and into the sky. I turned and saw a very amazed Bakura, I smirked, as was my habbit, and had Dranzer go back into her bit and into my hand.

'Wow,' Bakura said, still amazed.

I nodded, and put the blade back into my pocket. I was rather surprised that Dranzer hadn't shown off like she normally does, take to the air or something. Maybe she knows something?

'So, what hotel are you staying in?' I asked him.

'Hotel Bivero,' Bakura informed me, and I was taken aback.

That was the only expensive hotel here! That would mean that Bakura is fairly well off, if not then, rich! ................... I decided to show him where it was, I had been there a few times with my grandfather, so it wasn't hard for me to find.
We reached the hotel, it was sunset. Amazing, I had finished training in the afternoon, how time flies when your having fun!

'Thank you, Kai,' Bakura said.

'No problem. The place is pretty confussing for new people,' I told him; 'If you want, I could show you around,'

He agreed, and we would met outside the hotel (Yes I didn't trust him not to get lost!) at 11 the next morning, and I would give him a tour of my 'home' town.

/Kai, you like him?/ Dranzer came into my thought's as I walked home.

/Yes. Why?/ I asked her, wondering what she was up to.

/There's just something about him. Something not right........./ Dranzer said, but could not explain.

/We only just met him. Don't judge him so quickly./ I told her and felt her nod.

I was looking forward to the next morning. But would he feel the same way? I am gay, I just denied it for a long time......... Well, no, not a long time, for a year, once I started to think about those types of feelings, and THEN I denied it all. But after a time, when I was with the Bladebreakers, I figured that I just wasn't interested in women. I like them, I would not deny that, unless it was Mariah, that pink little.............. Well, the point is I don't feel that way about women as I do for guy's. Might explain why Dranzer is a girl........... Hum.................
Bakura's POV

My name is Bakura Ryou. I am the owner of the Millennium Ring. I have a yami/dark soul within this ring that was given to me by my father once he returned from a dig in Egypt. My yami is unlike most, for he only cares about gathering all the Millennium Iteam's and he just needs my body. So in short, he doesn't like me.
But I appear to be side tracking, I am supposed to tell you about how I met him. Kai. It was quiet odd really, I had come to this part of Japan by my father's request. I don't know why and he never told me. I just assume that he's leaving for another dig, but for a longer time span. He usually does this if he's going away for longer, just a holiday for the two of us, until he goes off to work.
Anyway, I was walking around the village, and got lost. I was busy with my 'thoughts' if you will.

/Fool of a boy./ My yami scolded me; /Wasting my time by coming here......./

I would have pointed out that I could not waste his time, for what is time to an immortal? However, I had learned from past experience to keep my mouth shut about that type of thing. And so I remained silent. There was no point in talking to him while he was going on like this.

/Do you know where you are now?/ My yami asked me. I was taken back by this odd question, and realised that I had gone to the otherside of the village, and had no idea how to get back.

/Trust you to get lost./ My yami told me, and then blocked me from his thought's.

I sighed and walked through the nearby park, I might have been able to get someone to help me, however I noticed that three boy's started to follow me. I was usually picked on at school, but never outside of it, but this lot looked like they would do anything as long as they got what they wanted.

/Yami?/ I whispered, walking away out of the park, trying to stay calm, yet trying to lose my followers as well.

/WHAT?/ He yelled back, causing me to flinch, not notice-able though to the people around me.

/How would you get away from these people?/ I asked, oh yes, I had to ask the stupid question.

/Hum, either run, like a coward...... Well, you are a coward......... Or fight them....... But you couldn't match those four./ Yami informed me.

/Four?!/ I exclaimed, my Yami was not happy with me exclaiming like that.

/Four, can't you count?/ My yami asked me.

/But.... But there was three......./ I stummered.

/Well maybe one has just decided to join in on the fun./ Yami said, and ponce again blocked me off.

I was alone, and I had walked right into an alley way. Joy(!) I could do nothing but wait, and pray that they wouldn't kill me. I was getting used to being seriously beaten up, it wasn't that bad, not as people make it seem. I was up against the wall, literally.

'Hey!' The boy with two toned blue hair called to the other three. Oh god............

'Kai......' One of the boy's hissed. That was odd, if he was there leader, and I imagioned him to be so, why did he say Kai's name as if it was something horrible?

'That's my name,' Kai said and his eyes narrowed, as if he was sending them all a death threat.

They all left, and it was just me with him. I was nervious, I would not deny that, he looked a bit odd. With the shark fin blue face paint on his cheeks, his hair, his clothes, and his eyes. A crimson colour that was unusual to see on anyone apart from an albino**.

'Are you all right?' Kai asked me, obviously he noticed I was nervious, my yami already told me so many times that I was 'easy to read'.

He didn't sound native to this country, leaving me to wonder where he comes from orignially.

'Yes, thank you,' i told him, and noticed he looked nervious, though his body language didn't hint it, it was his eyes. He must know how to cover up his body language somehow.

/Try to find your way back! Stop flirting with the boy!/ My yami made another sudden appearence.

I was never interested in girls, though I have some female friends, they would never be anything more than that, I prefer males. So yes, I was gay. So sue me. Anyway, here we were standing in silence........

'I'm Kai,' He said and held out his hand.

'Bakura,' I replied and took his hand.

We walked out of the alley and towards the park again, I told him that I was lost and was here on a family holiday with my father, how he was going away and that my mother had died years ago. It was nice to get it off my chest, however I felt foolish for telling all that information when we wouldn't see each other again. But he shared some information with me, about his grandfather and how he came to live with him after he lived in a private school in Russia. I decided not to push him to tell me more, it wasn't fair for either of us.
So from one conversation to another I told him about Duel Monster's, which he said he had heard about but never found out what it was. Kai then told me about something called beyblades, something that I had heard about as well, but I never bothered to play, or learn about. He started to explain about things called bit beasts, aka sacred spirits, and told me he had a phoenix.

'A phoenix?' i asked, not sure what to believe, then again I have an evil tomb robber's spirit inisde my Millennium Ring, so who was I to say that?

'Yes,' Kai said and brought out his beyblade from his pocket.

I looked at it and saw a bit, with a small phoenix picture in the circle. It looked beautiful. Kai placed his blade into his launcher, to let me see his phoenix in all its glory, and when it was realised out came a red phoenix.

/What?!/ My yami excalimed, sensing the phoenix; /How is it possible?/

I would have asked yami more, however I was in awe with the phoenix, its grace, and it looked more beautiful out in the open than the picture.

'Wow,' I said to Kai, once Dranzer was back in its bit and the blade was in Kai's hand once more.

He put the blade into his pocket; 'So, what hotel are you staying in?' He asked me.

'Hotel Bivero,' I replied and saw him looking surprised. I don't blame him, the hotel is very..... Fancy, yami has the urge to either steal something expensive, or break something expensive. To me its a lose lose situation, I would get the blame if he was caught.

'I'll show you where it is,' Kai told me and we walked, he must have been there a few times himself to know exactly where it was without hesitation. It only took 5 minutes.

'Thank you Kai,' I said to him, I really meant it too.

'No problem. The place is pretty confussing for new people,' Kai told me; 'If you want, I could show you around,'

I had to agree, I couldn't just say no for no real reason, besides I had no idea how long father wanted to stay for, and I didn't want to be stuck inside a hotel all the time. We agreed to met outside the hotel, so I wouldn't get lost again, at 11 in the morning.
I had a friend......... Or at least an acquentence, anyway.
It was sunset, and I had dinner then off to bed. Yami was not happy, though he just wanted to find the Millennium Iteam's and I doubt if he would find them here, back home was more likely.

/Bakura?/ Yami said before I went to sleep.

/Yes yami?/ I asked him, I was tired, and just wanted to sleep right away, but not if my yami wished to speak to me.......

/Don't start on getting any ideas around this boy./ Yami warned me, I was confused, why not? He seemed nice enough to me.

/Fool! He has a sacred spirit! A phoenix no less! They used to be in ancient times! In Eygpt the phoenix was unstoppable!/ Yami told me and I nodded.

/I know, I phoenix can never die./ I said sleepily.

/You better pay attention, otherwise I will be more than happy to take ove this body and steal this Kai's bit beast from him! The phoenix was the Pharaoh's right-hand creature./ Yami warned me.

Shame he never realised what was coming for him..........

Yay! All right! * = I have no idea if Bakura's mum/mom is dead or not, but for this story she is.
** = I was annoyed at reading fics that had Bakura down as an albino, he has pale skin and white hair, he doesn't have the eyes! (Yes, I have finished my rant.)
