Warnings: This is AU, it's yaoi – man x man relationship, maybe some OOC… and stuff

Disclaimer: Don't own Beyblade, never will. (If I DID, there wouldn't be fourth season as it is..T_T)

Well… hello people. This is my first Beyblade story that I'm putting up here and well… it's dedicated to my Seme-sama… I totally love her and her stories and everything *_*. So… enjoy.

~**~ Lost past ~**~

Kai was bored. Really bored. He was in damned plane, flying to some damned place, on some damned show of some damned band he didn't even know. And what was even worse, he didn't even know HOW did his "friends" managed to make HIM – the great Kai Hiwatari – come along.

He growled frustrated and looked around. In first class weren't many people – the others had to travel with the economical one seeing as Kai refused to pay them their tickets – if he was going to be tortured, they could be as well.

***

Kai sighed. He really didn't want to go to that hotel, where Rei with others were staying. He sighed again and ordered another drink… Feeling eyes on him he frowned and turned, catching blue gaze…

Kai blinked and red hair came to the view. The person was staring at him and Kai growled. Why the hell couldn't he be left alone? The redhead grinned at him and elbowed his companion – only then Kai noticed another teen, with gray hair, probably of the same age as the redhead. The boy turned bored eyes to the redhead and slowly followed the path of blue eyes – and noticed Kai. There was no change in boys' expression… but Kai felt weird. He quickly turned his back on the two teens and tried to focus on his drink, even though he still had that weird feeling. His frown hardened as he turned his glass in himself in one shot, ignoring that burning feeling of eyes watching him…. He didn't care.

Kai lifted his head when barman put another drink in front of him and he frowned.

"I didn't order another…" He mumbled and the barman nodded.

"I know. It's from the gentlemen over there." He mumbled and quickly walked away – almost making Kai grin at it. But instead of grinning he lifted his eyebrow.

'Gentlemen over there'? He didn't need anyone to buy him drinks. Kai slowly turned with a bad feeling in the back of his mind… and growled when he noticed THAT redhead grinning at him and lifting his glass. The gray haired boy had still emotionless face but Kai could see something close to amusement in his eyes. He quickly turned again pushing the glass away.

What the hell did those people have for a problem?!

***

Kai giggled. Yeah… giggled. Kai Hiwatari giggled. He looked at the glass before him – still full, mind you, and shook his head.

"My, my, my… what do we have here?" He grinned.

"Exactly my words…" Kai blinked when he heard another voice behind him… who the hell was that? He blinked once again before slowly turning around. And he noticed that those 'gentlemen over there' weren't 'over there' anymore. They were over here…

Kai glared, or at least try to glare even thought in his current drunken state it didn't have much of an affect.

"What the hell do you want?!" He tried to glare harder, but it was a bit difficult seeing that he didn't know on which one from those six to glare… Really… how quickly did they reproduce?!

The redhead grinned before shooting a smirk to his companion.

"What should I tell him, Bryan?"

'Bryan' rolled his eyes and gave the redhead another bored look, making Kai wonder how many of those did he have.

"Whatever you want, Tala." He growled and for exchange glared at the barman that came to them, with the intention of asking them if they wanted another drink or anything, but seeing Bryan's glare he quickly turned away and began washing a glass.

The redhead – Tala, smirked even wider and turned to Kai once again.

"What if the answer was 'you'?"

Kai blinked…. And again. What the hell did that redhead want? 'you'…

"I'd kick your ass." The boy growled and deciding to ignore those unwanted visitors, he turned to his glass with clear liquor and hmmed. It really seemed appealing. He reached for it, but a hand clasped over his wrist.

"Should I give it to you?" Tala asked with that evil smirk on his lips.

Kai frowned. What did the redhead mean? How 'give it to him'? He blinked before leaning his head to side.

"What do you mean?" He asked slowly making the other's smirk widen.

"I'll show you…" Tala answered with husky voice and shot Kai's vodka in his mouth. Kai blinked. How did he dare to do this with Kai's vodka…. It didn't matter that it was the one those two paid for. It was about principles… Kai's eyes narrowed and he wanted to glare but the redhead caught Kai's head and pressed his lips against his own in the next second. Kai couldn't do more than just blink, when a wet tongue traced his bottom lip… Kai's eyes closed involuntarily and the boy moaned slowly opening his mouth.

The redhead smirked and opened his lips as well, letting the liquor sip in Kai's mouth. Kai's eyes opened and he wanted to pull away but the other held him in place with one hand on the back on Kai's head and the second came up to massage Kai's neck slowly succeeding in making Kai swallow all of it. Only after letting the last drop of alcohol fall down Kai's throat did the redhead pull away and looked at Kai, the smirk never leaving his face.

"How was it?" He asked.

Kai blinked at the redhead and frowned.

"How was…what?" He asked blinking again.

Redhead's smirk wavered a bit when his companion grinned.

"You were right Tala. He's not so bad." The gray-haired boy smirked at his glaring friend before turning his eyes once again to Kai.

Kai blinked… what the hell did the two want from him?

Tala's hand traced Kai's cheek and the boy frowned…. .hell.

"You don't have to be like that sweetie..." The redhead winked and Kai lifted his eyebrow. What the hell did he think?! Kai wasn't some random chick he could just pick up. Turning away from those two he ordered another drink and decided that it would be best if he'd just ignore them. But he didn't have a feeling that the redhead would give up so easily… maybe it was because the teen sat down next to him from one side… and the second one – Bryan, or whatever was his name, sat on Kai's other side.

"Do you have plans for tonight, love?" The redhead asked another smirk playing on his face, making Kai sick.

The teen with blueish hair rolled his eyes and lifted the glass to his lips… He was damned if he was going to speak to those two anymore.

***

Kai giggled when a hand caught his and pulled him into redhead's lap – the same to whom the hand belonged to.

"What 're ya doin'?" Kai giggled again and cuddled to the teen – making him smirk contently.

"What do you think?" The teen answered not letting his eyes of the beautiful boy. Yeah… he was going to get him.

"So what's your name, honey?" The redhead brushed others cheek.

"Kai." The drunk teen answered and nuzzled to the others' chest.

Bryan rolled his eyes. He knew what Tala wanted, damned he knew this scenario all too well, being Tala's best friend and companion and he always accepted it… or better term would be – he never interfered with redhead's business. But now… Bryan didn't feel all to well with the plan Tala had for this… little boy for a lack of better words. Really. The teen before him seemed just like a little kid. Small and fragile from where could Bryan see. And the way he kept cuddling to Tala… really. He seemed like small abandoned child… he almost fell like hugging him….

Bryan blinked. He wasn't sure what brought that on… He sure didn't think of that, did he? Well... he must be tired. Yeah probably. The flight they were put through was long and it did something with Bryan's psychic he was sure.

Bryan blinked again and frowned when he heard a squeal and looked up, just to see Kai blushing and giggling discretely, while Tala's hand ran up boy's tight. Bryan's frown deepened and he stood up, pulling the boy from redhead's embrace.

"Let's go Tala. Spencer will be worried – you know how he is a night before concert." He growled – even thought he didn't want to and let go of the teen ignoring his glaring friend.

"I'm having FUN Bryan."

"Well, stop it. I don't want Spencer to bite my head off, because we weren't back in time." Bryan mumbled even though he knew that it was a lame excuse. Of course Spencer did make a fuss about them being out a night before concert but it never stopped them. And Bryan bit his lip when he realized that this his… mood had something to do with him not wanting Tala to stain this boy, this 'Kai'. He seemed so innocent… even though he was dead-drunk. Yeah, it did seem like fun, messing with him at the beginning but Bryan didn't know anymore. The teen seemed so cold, so distant before, but now the only thing he could see was unguarded face of a little child.

Bryan felt as something – or rather someone, caught his arm and looked away from glaring teen, only to be met with pair of red eyes.

"I'm havin' fun too…" The boy mumbled before giggling again and trying to walk to Tala… but he couldn't stand on his two feet right so he wobbled and Bryan caught the smaller frame into a firm embrace before the youth could hit the floor. Kai's response was to snuggle up to him.

"Well Bryan… you should have told me you want him." Bryan's friend chuckled making Bryan growl. Tala knew far too well that Bryan was… antisocial. He didn't like people getting close to him, be it in emotional or physical sense. In the same sense in which he had now that boy. He heard a content sigh and he looked down noticing that Kai made himself comfortable and was half asleep snuggling to Bryan. He lifted his arms with the intention of pushing the obviously younger boy off of him when he heard a little 'meow' sound and blinked surprised. He had to admit it was kind of … cute and before he realized what he was doing he had his arm around the younger boy, holding him protectively close to him.

Tala blinked. He wasn't really serious when he said that Bryan wanted him but this… He blinked again and looked at the small being in Bryan's arms. The boy was sighing contently hiding his face in Bryan's chest a little smile playing on his face. Tala wasn't serious about him…he knew that. He thought about that little being as another way to spend the time but this… scene before him was kind of… calming and nice. Even though HE wasn't serious… Bryan could be? It wouldn't be so bad for the older to have somebody… Bryan always was alone and even though he never said that out loud, Tala had the feeling that he felt a bit lonely. Everybody did from time to time… He closed his eyes and stood up.

"Well… you should take him with us."

Bryan's eyes snapped up from the being in his arms and he glared at Tala.

"What? Why me?" He glared.

But the redhead didn't seem to be intimated in any way – he just shrugged.

"Look, I'm sure here are enough people who'd fuck him if you don't take him." Tala smirked at the words he chose, "Just look around. This is one of the worst pubs we were in… and I doubt he'll be able to take care of himself like that." He motioned to the boy, making Bryan growl.

The gray haired teen knew Tala was right. Hell the only thing he needed to do was look around at those old geezers and their hungry looks. His arm tightened around the little boy protectively and he turned to leave, having a smirking redhead follow him.

Tala smirked as he looked after Bryan… now… maybe it was good that they came there…. Maybe it will be good for Bryan… and even in case that it won't… Tala'll have a little fun.

Bryan growled in a taxi as he looked down on sleeping boy.

"What am I supposed to do with him?" He asked himself and frowned when the redhead answered him.

"Well… I personally would fuck him, but seeing that this is you and you're not … capable of such a thing," Tala tapped finger on his chin pretending to think and ignoring the growling that was coming from the other boy, "let him sleep and leave him a ticket to our show, for example?" He grinned, getting another growl out of the gray haired boy.

Bryan's eyes didn't leave Kai's form.

"Hmpf. Somehow I don't have the feeling that he's fond of such things." He mumbled and his hand moved on his own stroking boys' hair. He felt familiar somehow, but Bryan couldn't just place the face and the whole boy to some occasion in his life. He burrowed his eyebrows again and his hand stroked the soft cheek, making Kai sigh contently.

Tala chuckled. "I wouldn't be so sure." He said and when pair of green eyes looked at him he smirked.

"I mean, who wouldn't want to go on OUR concert, when there will be us, such eye candies." He said proudly, making Bryan roll his eyes. Really… Tala was sometimes SO stupid. But then the older boy smirked. Yeah… maybe he was sometimes stupid but it was that little thing what made Tala Tala. Just like when they were little. They were always together… Bryan, Tala and the last boy… Bryan closed his eyes remembering the little boy's name. … Alexander. Bryan's eyes opened and a little smile crossed his face. Yeah… that was it. Alexander Hiwatari – an always glaring little boy with ever present blue paint on his cheeks, youngest from them all. And they – he, Spencer and Tala always protected him, probably because he was the smallest and youngest from them… and in that orphanage the protection was needed… not only from bigger kids but also from the principal – Boris Valkov. Bryan frowned when he remembered the cruel man and everything he did to not only them, but tenths of children. It was a wonder that they made it out of there being messed up only a bit. Well… they did. They meaning Spencer, Bryan, Tala and Ian – a little boy who got there some time later… Some time after Alexander was adopted…. Some time after he was took away from them and they never heard one thing about him. Bryan didn't know if it was good or bad thing, but there was time when he kept thinking about him, about what had happened to him… and somehow he hoped that he was happy – as they all did. He looked over at the redhead who was currently looking out of the window on passing street and wondered if Tala used to think about his little best friend.

Tala blinked feeling eyes on him and turned to the gray haired boy.

"What is it?"

Bryan remained silent for a while and then slowly asked.

"Do you… still remember Alexander?" His eyes scanned redhead's face for any discomfort with that name – when Tala was younger he hated to speak about this one subject closing himself in his room and not letting anyone in. But this time a little smile appeared on redhead's face and for a second he seemed lost in thoughts or probably memories.

"I do…" Tala softly whispered. Yeah… he did… how could he forget? They were through too much together to forget.

"That bastard still has my wolf pendant." He grinned pulling himself and Bryan out of thoughts, and also making the second boy chuckle.

"You gave it to him, didn't you?" He asked and even though there was no change in his voice, his eyes gave away his amusement.

The redhead shrugged.

"And what? I told him to return it someday."

"'when we'll meet again.'" Bryan quoted Tala's words from that time making the redhead smile sadly and Tala bit his lip before opening his mouth.

"I'm still waiting…"

Bryan nodded. The small 'me as well' hung in the air unvoiced. After a while of silence Bryan carefully reached out – not to wake the small boy in his arms – and messed Tala's hair.

"Don't worry… he'll return." When the redhead didn't seem convinced at all, Bryan added grinning:

"He won't miss a chance to kick your ass in blading, Yuriy."

"Hey! I wasn't SO bad!" He pouted before grinning.

"AND if I remember correctly he could kick YOUR ass as well, Boris."

Bryan made a face – not sure if it was because of the name or the fact that yeah, Alexander COULD kick his ass, and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, whatever." There was a silence for a while before the redhead spoke again making the other look on him.

"Say Bry'… do you remember Alexanders' secret name?"

Secret name… the name they used to call themselves. The names they liked or others said it suited them… or in Alexander's' name – a name he wanted to wear once he got out of the orphanage and when he'll be 'free'…

FLASHBACK

"From today… call me Yuriy." The redheaded boy grinned lifting his head up high in the air.

A small boy with crimson eyes looked at him and frowned.

"Why?"

Tala – or Yuriy – jumped from the bed where he was standing and looked down at the other boy.

"What do you mean why, Alexander?"

"Why Yuriy?" Alexander asked leaning his head to one side curiously, the frown vanishing from his face along with his usual glare.

Yuriy shook his head sighing.

"Really… you can be SOOOOOO stupid sometimes…" He sighed again at his friends' stupidity, making the small boy frown and pout.

The redhead chuckled.

"Because it's RUSSIAN!" He explained with the biggest grin on his face before frowning for a while, thinking.

"Well… at least it's a bit more Russian than Tala I think…"

"You chose that name and you don't even know what's more Russian?" A giggle was heard before the smaller of the two erupted in a laughing fit making now the older pout.

"Ow shut up… You wouldn't know either." He mumbled before smirking predatorily and pouncing on Alexander, successfully making them both fall down, him on top and then proceeding with tickling the surprised boy. And the said boy tried to push Tala's hands off of him, while laughing. The two didn't hear the doors to their room opening, but they did hear clearing of someone's throat.

"You two should stop that if you don't want to be punished by you-know-who." A boy with lilalic hair said with a scowl on his face. (A/N: yeah… HP is NOT good for childrenXD)

Yuriy stuck his tongue out on him making the other roll his eyes.

"Really Tala, you can be so stupid sometimes."

Talas pouted when Bryan unconsciously repeated his own words… how the hell did Bryan dare to make him sound stupid in front of Alexander?!

"Hmpf! For your information I'm YURIY! And don't tell me what to do…. "The boy rummaged through his mind for some name… something to show Bryan not to mess with him… Suddenly the Yuriys' frown lit up and he pointed to others' face.

"Don't tell me what to do, BORIS!"

Bryan – Boris, glared.

"Thank you SO much… from all those stupid names you could choose, you just HAD to choose this one, didn't you?"

Tala smirked, his face clearly saying Ha!-I've-got-you-there, and he was going to say something, but was interrupted by a low chuckle. He looked down at the still-on-the-ground-lying Alexander and lifted his eyebrow in silent question.

Alexander smiled.

"Now, you have secret names… I want one too." He pouted for a second, before smiling happily.

"I know one… when I'll leave this here and when I'll be finally free, I'll be-"

END OF FLASHBACK

Bryan slowly shook his head.

"No, I don't." He mumbled frowning a bit… why the hell didn't he remember it? He didn't care before, but… now he had the feeling that it was important… but… why? He sighed before letting a small smile appear on his face.

"But I remember his sacred animal."

Tala smiled as well… Yeah… he remembered too.

"Our little Phoenix." He murmured getting the other to nod his head approvingly.

"Yeah… and you were Wolf."

Tala sat up with a grin on his face.

"Yup, that's right, Falcon." They both lost themselves once again in memories… Falcon, Wolf and Phoenix… the three rebels from the orphanage Balkov Abbey.

"What… do you think happened to him?"

Bryan closed his eyes and shrugged… well… what could he do? He didn't know… It seemed just like Alexander vanished from the face of the earth. The three didn't hear a word of him… and… he had to admit… they missed him. It was because of that that Tala came up with the idea of forming a band…

FLASHBACK

Four boys were sitting in the room, the only sound made by the television – the game; the youngest of them was playing. The tallest of them was reading seeming to be lost in the book, while now-gray-haired boy lay on the couch with his eyes closed and the last one, with red hair was looking absently out of the window, stroking a big dog behind its ear.

Suddenly Tala's head shot up and he glanced to his companions.

"Hey… I got a great idea!"

The one laying on the couch groaned.

"No Tala, I won't go with you to the circus again, and I don't care that it'll be here only for few days."

Tala rolled his eyes. He didn't understand why was Bryan always like that… circus was fun, wasn't it?

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but it's not about circus this time." He pouted and when the older boy opened one eye and looked suspiciously on him he rolled his eyes.

"We should form a band."

The sound of book falling to the ground was heard and three pairs of eyes stared at the redhead – who just grinned.

"It'd be great! I mean… we'd be the best band out there!"

There was a total silence in the room for a few moments before Ian returned to his game, Bryan closed his eyes again and Spencer bent down for his book. That all making the redhead pout again.

"Oh… coooome oooon! Don't be like that!" He stood up, walked to the couch and pushing Bryan's legs away he sat down.

Spencer sighed opening his book and slowly turning the pages.

"Sorry to disappoint you Tala, but forming a band is not that easy."

"But we'd manage! You know! I can sing, Bryan'd play the guitar, you the piano and Ian can always be the victim we'll underplay our fans when we'll need to run…" He whined succeeding to get an insulted 'Hey!' from the smallest boy.

"Come on, come on, come on…. We can just try… there's that competition for amateurs bands next month… if they won't choose us I'll never mention it so pleaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeee."

Bryan rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Let's try Spenc' or the drama queen will never stop this whining." He turned his bored eyes over at 'Spence' who sighed.

"Fine… but you're responsible for it Bryan." The teen said before standing up and walking out of the room, followed by Ian.

It was when Tala glomped Bryan with his 'thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you, thank you 'speech and Bryan pushed him away with his usual'whatever.' The two were silent for some time before Bryan sat up and looked over at the redhead.

"You're doing this for Alexander, aren't you Yuriy." It was more of the statement than a question, seeing how he knew the Russian… He had the feeling that Tala thought that when Alexander will see them in the TV – IF they'll have such luck – he'll return to them… or at least he'll let them know he's still alive… or something.

"Why do you think that?" Tala asked before jumping out of the room happily.

Really… why did Bryan think that….? Maybe… because he agreed for the same reason… maybe he also hoped.

END OF FLASHABCK

Well… they were successful in the end. In only few months they became a famous band named 'Demolition boys'. Their songs were often played on radio, Demolition appeared in TV, interviews were made…. But Alexander never appeared… he never even send a single letter… but…a little tiny bit of hope always stayed in them. Even now… before every concert that little light of hope appeared in their minds in a form of quiet 'maybe he'll be here… maybe on this one'.

"Are you coming or do you prefer to sleep in this cab?" An annoyed voice pulled him out of his thoughts and Bryan blinked surprised, when he noticed that the taxi stopped in front of their hotel and Tala was already waiting outside on him. He mentally scolded himself before he scooped the small boy in his arms. Really… he shouldn't think about the past so much…

When the door to the hotel apartment opened the two could see one of hell irritated Russian waiting on them. Well… it wasn't obvious that he was irritated…. Spencer was more of deadly calm what didn't promise anything good. He was sitting in his chair which was situated right opposite door so he just HAD to notice anyone who'd get in – which was his purpose when he put the chair there.

"Where were you?" He asked before his eyes landed on the small boy in Bryan's arms. The blond boy immediately turned to Tala.

"I just hope you don't plan to sleep with him, if so then-"

"Save your breath, Spencer." The redhead grinned before slowly getting out of his shoes and walking to his doors.

"I'm not sleeping with him." He turned and gave the two a little smirk before disappearing into his room. "Bryan is."

"What the hell?!" Two voices could be heard, before their owners stared at each other. After a while of staring, Spencer sighed.

"Whatever… I don't want to know, just put him to bed." He motioned towards the small boy who shivered and pressed closer to Bryan.

"I'm not sleeping with him." Bryan said without moving.

Spencer shook his head. "You'll have to. The couch is way too uncomfortable."

"No, I won't sleep with him in THAT way."

Spencer blinked… What the hell?

"No one wanted you to…" He murmured lifting his eyebrow. What was going on? Bryan wasn't the one who thought that way… for that they had Tala…

"I think you're tired, so I won't ask how you got that idea. I'm going to sleep. Good night." He said before turning to his and Ian's room. Really… they shouldn't drink so much…

Bryan blinked at Spencer's retreating back and blinked. What the hell did he say in front of him?! Damn… he was probably really tired… but… he never thought that his tired mind was perverted. He sighed before turning to the door on right – the door to his room. Slowly walking in and to the bed he carefully put Kai in his bed. Pulling boy's shoes down for him and stripping himself to his boxers he lay down next to him. Hmpf, there was no way he was going to sleep on the couch. It was way too uncomfortable, as Spencer said. Closing his eyes, he fell asleep and he didn't even registered when his arm rested over the smaller being after it brought the boy closer to him…
