A/N: I know first season but my friend wanted me to write it when they were in the Asian Tournament so here it goes. There is a change though so it won't match the episode as much.
Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade or any of the characters so don't sue me.
Warning: Contain yaoi so if you don't like it, don't read it.
Rated R for violence, curses, and some sex that will show later in the story.

Chapter 1
It was the middle of the night but Rei couldn't sleep. The Asian Tournament would be starting tomorrow and he'd lost Driger, maybe for good. Rei let out a sigh and slowly moved out of bed not to wake up the older sleeping teen that was on the bed to the left of him. Max was to the right then Tyson but they were pretty heavy sleepers. The world could have exploded and it wouldn't have moved them. Tyson especially.
Rei grabbed his top shirt and walked out the door, closing it slightly so that it didn't make the usual click sound. He put his white shirt over his blue one and walked out to the beydish. It stopped raining but the air still lingered with the smell. Kenny had fallen sleep in front Dizzi while trying to gather more data on the White Tigers. Rei looked up at the sky. It was pitched black almost. There were no stars, at least non that could be seen.
Rei took his Driger blade out of his pocket and stared at it. It was empty. The same as his heart felt right now. There was nothing be could do. It wasn't his fault. Or that was what he wanted to think. Kevin had tricked him and he fell for it.
'Kai was right. What kind of blader am I? I let myself get distracted. I lost control and in that I lost my partner. No my friend. I'm not worthy for this team anymore. Not without Driger' Rei thought and put his blade onto his launcher. With all the strenghth he had, he launched his blade onto the cold wet ground.
Driger's blade was in front of Rei. Standing still. Rei looked at his blade. It was silent, not a sound stirred. That was until a blue blade came and started attacking Driger's. Rei looked at it. Not saying a word.
"Huh…Dranzer. That means…" Rei turned to see Kai leaning at the side of the door. His arms folded and his eyes closed.
"Kai" Rei said shocked that his team captain would still be up. "What are you doing here?"
Kai ignored his question. "You should be sleeping," he said in his usual tone.
"I…I wasn't tired" Rei said and turned back to look at his blade. Driger was being pushed back with much force by Dranzer. Dranzer gave one last powerful push and knocked Driger up and Rei caught it in his left hand. Then Dranzer went toward Kai and leaped. With one swipe, Kai grabbed Dranzer and opened his eyes. He looked at his blade. Not even a scratch.
"You're getting weaker. You didn't even fight back." Kai said and put Dranzer back into his pocket. Then walked forward to stand only a foot away from Rei.
"I'm just…I don't feel like battling. My blade was damaged in the battle against Kevin." Rei said and put Driger's blade away.
"Heh, this is the first time I've ever heard you lie." Kai said with a hint of humor in his voice. Then it turned into a harsher one. "I want you to forget about your past with the White Tigers. In this tournament they're the enemy. I can't stand watching you act like a lost kitten whenever you see one of their team members so suck it up."
Rei turned his head slightly not wanting to look into Kai's crimson eyes. He didn't know what to say. Nothing to counter Kai's words.
Kai on the other hand had gotten even closer to Rei. He moved his left hand out and grabbed Rei's shoulder. "Go back to sleep you need your rest," he said in a lighter tone now.
Rei looked up to see Kai's softer expression and nodded. He couldn't even have imagined how close their faces were now. He slowly moved back and walked into the one floor hotel they were staying at. He opened the door and walked inside. Kai wasn't tired yet so he decided to have a walk around. 'Why does he make me feel this damn way? I have to ignore it, I have a title to keep up and I don't need any more interruptions.'
