This is just a story conjured up from nothingness. If I get bored of it, I won't continue it so don't beg! But if it does get discontinued, maybe I'll pick it back up some day. Anyway, just enjoy!
Warnings: yaoi, rape, abuse, and lots of other adult-themed stuff! I might have to post up some bits on adult fanfiction if it gets too bad, because I don't want my stuff getting deleted for breaking the rules. That's your warning, so if you're against yaoi, rape, abuse and other similar things, stop reading now because flamers will only be laughed at or ignored.
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade or its characters.
CHAPTER ONE
I'm standing by the edge of the river, staring out into its blue-green depths, hoping for the calmly flowing water to somehow redeem my self-esteem. I do find condolence in the gentle movement of the water; it soothes my soul, and urges me calmly to forget.
But it's not easy to forget. It happens more often now than it used to, and that isn't comforting. Every night, he comes home and it's the same thing. It plays over in my head, again and again, making sure that I never forget. I'm a slave to him, and there's nothing I can do about it. These few moments on my own are my only asylum from the man I used to love.
"I thought I might find you here." His cold, toneless voice reaches my ears and I'm turned roughly around to face him. His angry red eyes glare into my dull orange orbs and I silently shift my gaze to the floor, shrinking under his belittling gaze. I think to myself, 'When did I become so pathetic - so helpless?'
Once a fearless Beyblader, member of a world champion team... Reduced to nothing by my own lover. It makes me second-guess my existence. I didn't mind, at first. If it made Kai happy... If I was his stress relief, that was okay. I would be there for him. But it was different now. I was scared, when he first hit me. He apologised; said he'd never do it again.
He lied.
I cling onto the hope that one day soon, he will grow bored of me and move on to prey on another innocent and unsuspecting individual. As selfish as that wish is; as much as I'd never wish this upon anyone, my days of understanding are over. I want out. But that won't happen any time soon; my prayers go unanswered. He grabs a fistful of my hair and tugs on it harshly. I wince and whimper; the reaction he wants. He only hurts me more if I try to act tough.
I try to forget the pain and think of the old Kai - back when we first got together. When we shared our first kiss and when he told me he loved me. Everything was downhill after that. Once, when I looked into his eyes, they were warm and caring, but now if I sought out those same emotions in his crimson eyes I was met only with a steely, annoyed glare.
He knew that he held my heart - my very existence - in the palm of his hand. He crushed it, effortlessly, years ago.
So let's start at the beginning...
Short and sweet! In case you hadn't guessed, Rei is telling the story. The chapters from now on will be in the past tense, though. That was just the prologue, I suppose. More to be posted when I write it! For the time being, give me some reviews please!
