Lirin: Hi everybody. It's been awhile since my last story. Haven't been in a writing mood. However looking back though my file I noticed this wasn't posted so I figured I should.

Kai: This is the sequal to Dealing: Rei's Suffering. It's about how I deal with Rei being gone from my life. Warning there is substance abuse.

Lirin: Moving on, I don't own Beyblade or the characters. And I do not profit from any of this. Here's chapter 1 and more will be following shortly.

Chapter 1: Time To Drink

A few days after Rei left, Kai fell into a deep depression. He had called his office and told them he would be out for a while and not to try and contact him. Also he could not bare to be in the house he once shared with Rei. Everywhere he looked he had some happy memory of him and Rei together, except the kitchen. Every time he went in there he recalled the night that chased his beloved Kitten away.

It was decided, he had to get out of that house before he went insane...not that he wasn't already. But the question now was where should he go.

Obviously he could not ask Tom and Rei, that would only cause trouble. Crawling back to his Grandfather's places were also not an option, just because he refused to go there.

So that left Tyson's Dojo. But unfortunately he and Max were still on vacation. Who was Kai kidding, that didn't matter to him, he knew ways inside that place without a key. Plus he knew where Hiro's alcohol stash was and he could so go for some at the moment.

Kai packed a bag and got in his car quickly going to the Dojo. He left his cell phone and other methods of communication behind just so no one could disturb him while he drank out his misery.

Arriving at the Dojo in record time, Kai parked his car on a side street and then walked over. Just as he planned the bathroom window was unlocked and waiting to be crawled through. He went to the room he used to stay in and dropped his bag before searching the house to find what it had.

The kitchen was amazing still stocked with edible food that was not all sugar or other junk food. It shocked Kai to say the least. But it was handy for when he did become hungry.

Leaving the kitchen he went into the den. It was the same as the last time he was here. And next to the TV stand was a small locked cabinet where Hiro kept his stash.

Kai grinned to himself. He could almost taste the burning alcohol of vodka sliding down his throat now as he approached it.

Kneeling next to it he tried to pull the door opened. It was locked. Kai shook his head. He was planned for this and reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. Flipping it opened he dug out a small lock picking too.

Carefully inserting it into the lock he jingled it around until he heard a small click signaling the door was now unlocked.

Licking his lips he opened the door to saw that Hiro had just stocked up. He grabbed two big bottle of vodka and went back to his room.

He now had all he needed to drink his misery away.

Lirin: Hugs for Kai. He needs them.

Kai: ...hn...more drinks is what I need.

Lirin: Okay guys please drops some reviews to try and cheer up Kai. Thanks
