Disclaimer: If I owned Beyblade, this would be the fourth season.

Note: Rei will NOT remain bad the whole story unless I get anoverwhelming response (which, for me, would probably be ten reviews) telling me to keep him evil.

Chapter One:


"Why don't you just go back to the Blitzkrieg Boys? You're worthless to us now." Rei and Tyson said, glaring at Kai.

"But, I just…" Tyson cut Kai off before he could finish his sentence.

"Get out of our sight, before we hurt you." Tyson nearly yelled. Kai didn't move, he was frozen in fear. His teammates had never treated him like this before. Was it because… he lost Dranzer?

"I said leave!" Tyson yelled, backhanding Kai, making him fall to the ground in pain. Kai looked up at them with a hurt expression, and ran as far as he could away from them.

"Good, that twerp's gone. Now, maybe we can win the championships." Tyson said, making Rei smirk evilly. They both walked back to the dojo, not having any second thoughts about what they had just done to Kai.

Kai was sitting on a bench in the park, his head in his hands. He felt miserable, but he wasn't going to cry, not for anything. He didn't want anyone knowing he was weak.

"Kai?" A voice said to the left of him. Kai turned his head, and who should be standing there but Tala?

"Hey Tala." Kai said sadly, returning to looking at his 'very interesting' feet.

"What's wrong? You seem upset. Is there something you want to tell me?" Tala asked, sitting down on the bench with Kai.

"…" Kai didn't answer him. He figured Tala would just get mad at him for running away instead of fighting back.

"Kai, you know you can tell me anything. We're friends, after all. Always have been, always will be." Tala said comfortingly, placing his hand softly on Kai's back.

'That's right…' Kai thought, 'Tala's been my best friend ever since I was two. He won't reject me…' Kai told Tala everything, a little hesitant at first, but eventually he just let the words come out. Tala looked at his friend in pity, and hugged him gently.

"You poor thing. Hey, wanna hear something funny?" Tala asked, trying to lighten the mood. Kai just nodded slightly. "Bryan punched a hole in the wall." That set Kai off laughing.

"W… what?" Kai asked, trying to control his laughter.

"Bryan punched a hole in the wall. He misses you, you know." Tala said, remembering when his other best friend had punched the hole in the wall, and a small smirk (that gradually grew into a large grin) appeared on his face.

"Seriously?" Kai asked skeptically.

"Yup."

"That's Bryan for you." Kai said, laughing again.

"Yeah." Tala replied. Something in his pocket started buzzing, and Tala took out something that resembled a Nintendo DS (except it's more like the communicators they use in Digimon season 2).

"sigh Speak of the devil… Sorry, Kai. I gotta go now, Bryan's mad at me for staying out this late. By the way, if you ever want to come back with us, you're more than welcome." Tala said, walking away in the direction he had come. Kai stared after him, thinking about what he had just said.

'Maybe, just maybe, I really belong with them…' Kai thought.


Well, that's it for the first chapter of my story. That's actually the sixth one I started, but the first I deleted (because I wrote most of it in school and didn't save it in the right place, so it got deleted -.-+), and the others aren't even close to being written.
