Hi there folks! Man, it's been a long while I've updated, but thanks to my supporters I made the gears of my imagination move again! Since I've never written a Halloween story yet, I thought I make one. I hope you guys going to like it.

Disclaimer: Beyblade does not belong to me

Warning: mild cursing, and slight shounen-ai (Kai/Tyson of course)

Huge thanks to: Mio-o, XOAnn13OX, mandy1324, Pure White Mochi, Zutsu, and ooli, who supported me to write again. :)

The Party Pops

There was a leaf flickering in the air.

It had a nice unique colour; there were deep red, orange, and a little brown.

It resembled to a phoenix's feather. Almost looked like one, as it danced and whirled around by the soft breeze.

And there was a teenage boy, or better to say a young man, since he was 18 years old now. He was laying smoothly on the grass under an old tree. His arms were folded neatly beneath his head, and a leaf of grass lolled out half from his mouth, while his deep violet eyes gazed contemplatively the slowly falling leaf.

His name was Kai Hiwatari. He wasn't an ordinary boy in many ways; despite the fact that being team captain of the Bladebreakers and had the most outstanding clothes compared to his friends'… a long, white scarf around his neck, blue face paints, added with his two-coloured hair… yes, two-coloured, black in the back, and slate grey in the front. He was the most reserved, serious and silent person. Yet, as self-restrained he was he had the most well-built, attracted body that would catch all eyes… much to his dislike.

Kai wasn't the type of guy (except his other teammates) who enjoyed attention, spotlights, and people drooling over him.

… Yes, people. Because as a crazy world as it was, unfortunately, Kai had nearly as much fan-boys running after him excitedly as girls. Damn for his unluck.

However, today he was lazing comfortable in the park, hidden away from the public, while he enjoyed the last warmth of sunbeams, shining through the shrouds, as autumn entered.

There was peace and quiet. Just as he liked it.

"Kai!" his name echoed somewhere in the distance, but he didn't notice.

His violet eyes scanned now the trailing clouds.

Nothing could disturb his peace.

"Hey Kai!"

… Finally. The tale of woes and the long battles with the Biovolt, Bega, and Boris were over, and there was now peace and fair plays among every beyblader who loved this sport… Yes. And even he, Kai Hiwatari, could take a break, free from care, and enjoy his private silence and –

"Kai, are you awake?" suddenly Tyson's beaming face leant over his head, from behind. "Hey, I thought you were sleeping because you didn't answer me." he smiled brightly.

Oh yeah. He almost forgot there was a certain person who, from time to time, was far worse than a bunch of fan-girls.

Damn, that adorable smile made the bluenette look so cute, no matter how annoying he was whenever he became way too chirpy that needled Kai's nerves.

… Wait. Did he just thought 'cute'? Delete it.

He closed his eyes, and wriggled some more to get comfortable. "What do you want Tyson?" Kai asked bored.

"Max and I are planning to go for a little trip at Halloween. We want to spend a night in a ghost-haunted house, and it would be fun if went all together." Tyson continued smiling at him cheerfully. "I came here to convince you to come with us, too."

"No thanks." Kai said pronto.

Tyson's smile dropped. "Wha… but… Kai, you didn't even give a thought for it."

"I don't need to."

Tyson anime sweatdropped. "Huh?... but, hey!" he shook the older teen's shoulders insistently. "Aww, come on now Kai. Why not?" he whined.

Kai opened an eye and glared slightly up at the bluenette. "Tyson, I am not interested in something as stupid as Halloween. And I definitely won't waste my time going to a sleazy ghost-house to fool around." he closed his eye again. "… now move off. You're blocking the fun from my face." he grunted.

Tyson blinked. "Huh?... Oh, sorry…" he moved away a bit, but he wasn't about to give up so easily. Much to Kai's grief. "Kai please!... PRETTY PLEASE!... Please, please, please!... For meeee, please… C'mon buddy… do it for your good old rival… it's just a trip… Aw Kai, please…" he was jumping around Kai eagerly like a puppy dog.

Kai's eyebrow twitched with irritation, but he refused to open his eyes. He kept them closed firmly… And he had a reason for it.

'Just stay calm. Don't look at him.' he told himself.

He knew. If he looked at those gooey mahogany eyes he would break. And it was all thanks to Max. Yes. Since Tyson and Max were best of friends even in the team, they spent rather much time in each other's company, which in Kai's opinion was beyond unhealthy. And not only that, but his life had become one living hell when Tyson realised he could affect Kai with his look, in one way or other.

"So Kai are you coming? Huh? Huh? HUH?... Kai?! Huh?... Coming, please?... Dearly please…" the bluenette fluttered his eyelashes.

An anime vein appeared on Kai's head, throbbing. "Tyson… I'm warning you…" he growled.

"Hey guys!" came a cheerful voice not far from them.

Kai bristled inwardly; he could recognise that chirpy voice anywhere and he could also guess why did the blonde boy come here. 'Oh no.' he thought.

"Hi Maxie! What's up?" said Tyson, smiling brightly at his friend.

"Heh, I knew I would find you guys here. I called Rei and told him to meet here." the blonde wore his usual beaming smile. "So, did he agree to come with us?" he tilted his head slightly at the still rigidly protesting dual haired male.

"Not yet, but he'll crack soon." winked Tyson naughtily.

The anime vein on Kai's head increased in size, as his eyes snapped open with indignation. "TYSON!" he almost choked the leaf of grass he was chewing.

However, as oblivious Tyson was, he didn't pay attention. The bluenette was a little distracted at the moment, staring at the odd clothes – if he could call that – Max was wearing.

"What's with that outfit Max?" he blinked confused at him.

"Oh, this? Dad found it in the garage. It was his Halloween costume when he was in my age. He gave it to me. It's called the farmer at harvest."

"Wow, cool!" Tyson smiled.

'Weird taste.' thought Kai; as he took a quick scan at the blonde. He was wearing a raunchy, blue dungarees that was patched some places. The black shoes he was wearing were definitely two-size bigger, and with that frazzled straw on his head, where a sunflower and a stuffed crow stood, and an old pitchfork in his hand, he looked more like a clown dressed in scarecrow than a farmer.

Kai gave a slight snort then dropped back on the grass. He felt if he continued observing Max's outfit further he would burst out laughing.

Max looked down at Kai. "If you come with us, Kai, I promise I'll loan you one of my old Halloween customs." he smiled nicely.

Kai anime sweatdropped as he tried to not cringe in disgust with the pure idea. "No thanks Max. I don't think I want to join the goofies club."

Max blinked confused.

"Hey, I know! We could dress up Kai as a vampire. That would totally suit him!" punched in his palm enthusiastically Tyson.

Max anime sweatdropped. Imagining Kai as a vampire… yikes. Kai was scary enough even without it.

"I'm not going to dress up anything and…" Kai said darkly, then glanced up at the bluenette suspiciously. "… wait, why a vampire?"

"Oh because you used to suck our blood during training anyway." Tyson answered sweetly, his eyes closed, but the smile on his lips was a bit tease.

Max snickered.

The anime vein Kai's head throbbed intensely again. "So you're saying that I'm a bloodsucker slave-driver?" he barked snappily.

"You sure are." Tyson said openly, much to Kai's surprise. "…But we all know that deep inside you're a big old softie. And if you come with us you can prove it."

"Tyson I told you once, and I'm going to say it again. I'm. Not. Coming."

Tyson's eyes suddenly went glossy. His head dropped with deep sadness, as he placed a hand on his forehead. His beautiful, dark blue bangs hung over his face. "Oh Kai… I never thought you could say this to me…" he sighed dramatically.

May broke into laughing while Kai anime sweatdropped in embarrassment. He just couldn't believe Tyson was really making a drama act here.

Suddenly, in the sight appeared Rei. When he spotted his friends he blinked confused; Max was wearing some very ridiculous costume while Tyson was pestering Kai with prayers, where Kai seemed to be losing resistance. The raven haired nekojin chuckled to himself.

"Hey guys! Is the party already up or what?" he asked playfully as he approached them slowly.

"Hi Rei!" greeted him Max happily.

Even Tyson forgot pestering Kai, and leapt to his feet. He ran up to the raven haired male, almost knocking him off from his feet. "Rei! Finally! You're the one who we need here!"

"Whoa! Hey, slow down Tyson!" Rei laughed, calming down the over-excited world champion teen. "What's the blast?"

"We want to go for a Halloween trip! You will join us, right?" Tyson stared up at him with sparkling eyes.

A small sweatdrop fell on Rei's head. "Of course. A little fun won't harm us." he smiled.

The stars in Tyson's eyes burst. His whole face beamed. "Oh thank you Rei! You're the greatest! I knew we can count on you!"

The nekojin scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile. "Well… no problem."

Max came to them and they bumped fists with one other.

Tyson then leant closer to Rei. "Now help me to convince the old sourpuss to come with us, too." he said slyly.

"Tyson, I'm still not deaf! What I said is said, and I won't change my mind!" the older male shouted from his place to the bluenette who had his back to him.

Tyson's shoulders slumped down. His face hung and he placed his hands over his chest, folding them. Max and Rei stared at him confused. Even Kai pushed himself in a sitting position as he watched the bluenette's sudden change, a little perplexed.

For a long minute there was silence. No one moved. Until…

"You know Kai, I really wanted you to come with us." spoke Tyson quietly, yet loud enough for Kai to hear.

Kai froze in shock. His heart started beating faster. 'No. It couldn't be true… Does he mean…?'

"I… I need you to come, Kai…" Tyson slowly turned around. His warm brown eyes were hidden by his bangs.

Kai's heart leapt to his throat. He swallowed hard. 'Gods, he's really going do it…!'

"Tyson…" he said softly.

"I need you Kai, because…" a faint pink colour came over the bluenette's cheek.

Kai's eyes narrowed to pinwheel. God, Tyson looked so cute. That was it. Tyson was finally confessing his feelings to him…

Tyson raised his head and smiled angelically. "Who's going to save us if we get into trouble?"

"GAH!" everyone fell anime style. Then Max jumped to his feet. "TYSON!" he grabbed at his hair in frustration.

"What? It's true." the bluenette blinked innocently.

Rei scrambled back to his and looked over at Kai. He sweatdropped; well, Tyson got him bad this time. The captain looked like a deflated white balloon.

Kai then shook himself out of his daze, composing himself to his old confident self again. He cleared his throat. "Well, in that case…" he grumbled but the moment was interrupted once again when the last member of the team stepped into view.

It couldn't be anyone else than the little genious, who was the ace-brain in the team and had the most mysterious look – since his long, brown bangs hid always his eyes. He was walking straight towards them while he carried his dear laptop under his armpit, like he always did wherever he went.

"Kenny!" Max and Tyson cried in union. They ran up to the short boy.

"Hey guys! What's so important that you called me here?" Kenny asked in his usual professional curiosity.

Poor, good old Kenny had no clue what the two naughty boys were planning. However, he become slightly uncertain when he spotted a flash of mischief glint in Max and Tyson's innocent look.

"We're going for a Halloween trip, and you can't be missed out from the party." Max declared emphatically.

"Yep… even Kai agreed, so you can't say no!" Tyson sang with a huge grin on his face.

"I NEVER SAID I AGREE TO IT!" Kai yelled in the background.

The bluenette turned to him. "Well you didn't refuse instantly last time so that means you gave in." he winked triumphantly.

Kai gaped. White steam blew from his ears. He just couldn't believe Tyson did it again; he made Kai to fall the same trick so he had to indulge the bluenette. Damn that charming face.

Rei chuckled as he sat down beside his friend under the tree.

"C'mon Kai, Halloween is fun." he smiled sincerely.

The dual haired blader looked at him darkly. "If you forgot Rei, I don't do fun." he growled.

The nekojin snickered. "Yeah, but even you need a little break to pull those thin lips of yours into a smile… and you have to admit that in the end you enjoy it just as much as we do… even if you don't show it openly."

"Hn."

A sudden yelp got both bladers attention.

"… a ghost haunted house?!" Kenny jumped back frightened. "No way I'm going there! Leave me out of it!" he shook his hand frantically.

"What is it Kenny? Are you scared?" Max flashed him an evil grin.

Kenny gulped, and he shrank back shakily.

Tyson snuck up behind him, eyes glowing dreadfully. "Yeah, like from spiders? Or that a vampire suck your neck…" he flashed a toothy devil grin, making grabby moves with his hands as he imitated a vampire.

Kenny's hair stuck up the air, and he turned total white. "AAAAH! YES I'M SCARED! I'M A REAL CANDY-ASS SO THERE! AND THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'M COMING!" he dashed to the nearest lamppost and climbed up on it, as he was squeezing his laptop.

"Kenny. You'd better get down from there." gave him a commanding threat Max.

"Yeah. Or else we have to use drastic measures." added Tyson.

"NO I'M NOT COMING DOWN! YOU CAN FORGET IT! THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN CONVINCE ME TO LEAVE! I'M GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE UP HERE!" he clung to the post like a scary cat. The others anime sweatdropped.

"Hey guys, leave him alone will'ya?" Rei told them with a weak smile. But the two wicked boys weren't listening.

"How will we get him down?" asked Max.

Tyson pondered, then a bulb turned on in his head.

"I have an idea!"

He quickly fled and was back in a minute. He held up two shovels.

"Where did you get those?" Max asked.

"From Gramps' hovel." he grinned.

"Great!"

They quickly started grubbing around the lamppost.

Rei turned his head reluctantly from the comical situation and looked back at Kai. "As I was saying… a trip like this brings lot of fun… And maybe you finally get the chance to get closer to a certain person." he said slowly."

Kai glared at him from the corner of his eye, raising an eyebrow. "What are you hinting at?"

"Like you wouldn't know who I'm talking about." Rei looked at him meaningfully. Kai grunted. "I know you have been after him for a while now… your words can deny it but the look tells more…" he flashed a toothy grin. "… and I'm sure that Tyson is scared from something, too, which can give you the perfect opportunity to get closer to him…"

Kai blinked, then looked over the bluenette, his mind travelling deep. He had a sudden image… a scene where a broken Tyson ran up to him… Those beautiful angel eyes shining with tears… And then Kai would reach out, embracing him…. Holding him close. Protectively… Then, Tyson lifted his head, cheeks flushing…

Their eyes met, and locked firmly in each other…

Then Kai leant in…

…slowly…

POP.

Rei popped the bubble-cloud with a needle above Kai's head.

"Quit daydreaming. That doesn't suit you."

Kai shot him a death-glare.

"Now that's the Kai I know." Rei grinned.

Then there was a 'CRACK' followed by a loud 'ACK!'

… then THUMP.

Tyson and Max successfully managed to fell the lamppost where Kenny was hanging on. They lifted the post on both ends and carried it off with a triumphant smile.

"AAAAAH! HELP ME!" Kenny wailed miserably, still clinging, now upside down.

Kai and Rei anime sweatdropped.

"How did they manage to do that?" Rei goggled.

"Search me…" Kai stared dumbfounded. "You know what they say: in an anime anything can happen."

"Does that mean your hair colour is real?"

"Shut up Kon!"

"NOOO! I DON'T WANT TO GO!" Kenny bellowed.

So this was the first part. If you think it was the most stupid story then I agree. *grins cheekily* But I wanted to write something funny like this. Based on lot of humor and fun, plus I love those awkward anime scenes, hehe. And of course there will be a little romantic scene, too, just wait. *winks* The second one comes soon! Till then, I gladly welcome your reviews. :)
