Silver: Hi people! It's me again with a new fiction! Hopefully this one will be more successful. ^-^ So please, please R&R! I'll accept constructive criticisms and hopefully some cheerful reviews. ^-^
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade. Don't go suing me…trust me, it's not worth it. ^-^ All the other characters that do not appear in the episodes belong to me and only me. Please do not steal.
WARNING~!: This story is yaoi. Meaning it has a male/male pairing. Don't like it, then leave. ^-^ The pairings are as followed: Kai/ Rei/ Tala triangle (definitely) Tyson and Max is optional (even if I do add it, there will be very little as the story is based on Rei/Kai/Tala)…all depends on the reviews I get on whether I should put up that pairing.
Summary: Kai learns the tragedy of the deaths of his fellow friend, Tala. Depressed and confused, Kai shuns himself even more from the rest of the world…even Rei. Upset, and confused about his own feelings for the stone Phoenix, and having to constantly live in the shadows of Kai's dead friend, can Rei reach out and thaw kai's frozen heart?
RATING MAY CHANGE LATER~!

Love Is A Gift
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
How did it happen?
I don't know.
Why?
Why did I fall for you?
Can you see me or do you just walk by?
I try to speak but you can't hear, my tiny whisper of hello...
Your world isn't mine and to the door I have no key.
You slam the door in my face.
Love is a gift,
Love is an angel to hold you tight,
Love is soft and sweet,
Love is an illusion...
Or so I hope,
It's easier to pretend.
It's easier to ignore,
That you can't see me offer you my smile.

"Go Driger! Tiger Claws!" Rei screamed as he launched, for the tenth time this evening, Driger into the rocks at the training stadium.
A pair of fiery red eyes carefully followed each and every movement of Driger, as if inspecting his techniques. Sensing a insignificant flaw in Driger's spin, the by-stander skillfully launched his own fiery blade with such accurate speed and location that Driger was sent flying back into it's owner's hand.
Rei starred open-mouthed at the team captain. For the tenth time this evening, Kai had sent Driger airborne, and much to Rei's dismay, with little or no effort at all. Letting out a sigh of frustration, Rei raked his hands through his loose and sweaty hair before glaring at his obnoxious captain, who was casually leaning on a nearby post holding Dranzer with a I-Don't-Really-Give-A-Shit-That-I-Just-Kicked-Your-Ass expression.
Kai must have felt Rei's eyes on himself as he quickly pocketed his prized Dranzer and slowly raised himself from the wooden post. Rei's eyes followed this movement and he couldn't help but notice the relaxed motion of Kai's body. Before his teenage hormones completely take control of his brain, Rei quickly redirected his glaze back to the dish in front of him and concentrated on how fascinating it looks.
It wasn't long before Rei's feline senses sensed someone standing directly behind him. Rei didn't need to turn to know who's behind him. He could practically feel the body heat radiating from the Ice Prince. He was well aware that a tint of pink has already made its way onto his cheeks.
For a while now, with apparent reasons, Rei started to feel awkward in the presence of Kai. Instead of the, well, company that he felt before when he was around Kai, he felt well…a feeling that he couldn't quite describe. It makes him blush and his emotions run wild when he's around Kai. Confused of what he felt towards the team captain, Rei simply kept quiet and bottled his confused feelings inside.
A pair of warm hands on his shoulders sharply snapped brought him back to reality. Raising his eyes to meet a pair of amber eyes, Rei was immediately captured by the intense flames dancing in the orbs.
"Launch your blade, Rei." Came a command.
"Huh, what?" It took a few seconds for the words to register into Rei's frozen mind, and a few more for Rei to remove his eyes from those capturing eyes.
With a sigh of exhaustion, Kai repeated he again, this time, Rei, who's still nervous about the close distance between him and Kai, fumbled around inside his pocket before he grabbed Driger. Quickly inserting Diger onto his launcher, Rei quickly got into his usual feline crouch and launched the blade high into the air.
Kai's eyes focused on Rei as he launched Driger. With an amused inward smile, he noted on how determined Rei looked as he held Driger and his launcher in his hands. He also noted how much he resembled a wet kitty when he was covered with sweat. Cute, sassy, and a touch of frustration.
'Oh god, did I just call him cute? Thinking really isn't good for my brain.' Kai mused to himself.
Kai's eyes quickly changed directions as Rei launched the blade into the air directly above the dish.
'Very clever, a launched planned to land onto the opponent's blade to slow it's spin speed then attack. However, not very efficient when battling master bladders who recognizes this strategy as the blade is launched.' Kai noted to himself.
As Rei's blade landed back into the tundra-training dish, it immediately began to clash against the large rocks, immediately breaking it in pieces. Almost directly Kai, again, spotted the flaw. In one swift movement, almost too fast for the eye, Kai launched his Dranzer precisely on the left side of Driger, hitting it with such force that again, left a dumbfounded Rei with Driger in his hands.
Smirking as Dranzer flew back into his hands, Kai turned sharply and existed the stadium leaving an angry and frustrated kitty in his wake.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rei literally stomped into the hotel suite that he shared with the captain. Seeing that Kai had yet to arrive, he decided to quickly take a shower before leaving to grab some dinner in a nearby Chinese fast food restaurant he one day found while exploring Italy.
Grabbing a fluffy towel that the maid had left when she cleaned the room, he was relived when he got out of his sweat-covered shirt and stepped into the warm shower waters. He could feel the relaxing water running down his back and felt all the tension lift from his shoulders. When he was finally satisfied that he was clean, he turned off the showerhead and stepped again, into the comfy, white towel. Clicking the lock open, he quietly stepped out into the relaxing colors of the room. As he flipped through his closet to find a pair of clean clothing to change into, he heard the hotel door click open. Turning to face the door, Rei was greeted by shock as Kai stepped into the room, as white as a sheet of paper. Rushing over, Rei was barely aware that the only thing covering him was a short towel.
"Kai, what happened?" Rei asked as soon as he reached Kai.
"Tala…" Kai murmured.
Rei suddenly remembered, Tala, the ruthless captain of the Demolition Boys. He remembered the orange hair and the unforgettable blue eyes, and the determination that sparked in Tala's eyes as he battled. He also knew that Tala and Kai had been close friends, as close as brothers. Tala's always there for Kai and vice versa.
"What happened? What happened to Tala?" Rei asked with concern clearly expressed in his voice
"…Tala…Car…Hospital…Life support…Gone…" Kai replied with a choked voice.
"What? Tala? Is he? Could he possibly? No…" Rei didn't get to finish as Kai raised his blank eyes to meet Rei's.
"Tala's gone Rei…He's dead…" Kai finished with no emotions in his eyes nor voice, and hung his head.
TBC…
