Disclaimer: I don't won Beyblade, or the movie or anything else for that matter.

But at least I own my self, I haven't sold out to The Man yet! –Stern nod-

And here, we see my latest fict. Which I sure hope turns out well. To me, it seems… bore-ish but I'm an optimistic person (sarcasm) and I believe this will turn out good.

The Fruit, The Life, and The Unseen Truth

Act 1. That face, worth saving?

Kai's POV
It's been over a month since Ray and I got this new apartment. It's small and barely holds us and fly but at least I'm not at Tyson's dojo any more. Being that its just Ray and me there's a lot less noise. Even when the rest of the blade breakers invade my… our apartment, its fairly tranquil.

I think they're surprised that we haven't killed each other yet.

But today is nice and quiet, Ray's out doing something leaving me here to be all alone. Ahh, alone time, hard to find when living elbow to elbow with somebody.

As I stretched out on the tiny sofa, I stared out the glass doors leading to the balcony. The sun gleamed on the transparent surface, concealing the hideous railing circling the balcony. I sighed contentedly as I let my eyes flutter shut and my thought to fall inward.

I begin my trance, falling back through the black and blue nothingness to get to the beach of my private island. It's a one-tree island in the midst of nowhere. The sky is clear and forever blue and the calm waves lapping against the shore help sooth away the tension.

I shuffle over and lean against the tree, letting the whispering breeze tell me secrets. I slowly organized my thoughts, analyzing them and coming to a conclusion of how to react next time.

"Hey, Kai." A soft voice behind me whispers.

I turn, slightly aghast, somebody got inside my mind! I turned to face Ray. He was standing at the edge of the water, smiling warmly at me.

"H-how did… you…" I begin.

He tilts his head and walks up. I collapse to the ground, feeling heavy and stiff. He stands over me and places the back of his hand on my forehead.

"Are you alright? You don't look good." He states, suddenly sounding very distant.

I blinked and the island vanished. I was back laying on the couch, and Ray was standing over me, his hands on his hips.

"Hn." I respond, sulking about his intrusion into my thoughts.

"Somebody woke up on the wrong side o the bed today." Ray sighed and drifted off.

I glowered at his back, and stood. I drifted out to the balcony, scanning the scenery. Whether it was pure luck or purposely, we got the corner apartment at the very top of the complex that over looked the bay. The sparkling drops of sunlight sailed over the ocean, bobbing like buoys. A small smile graced my lips as the soft, soundless air passed through me.

I felt the blue-black nothingness tugging on my soul; I closed my eyes and was pulled back. I hovered over the black water, dark blue ripples emanated from me. The black backdrop coated everything, light, sound, feel, everything.

This was purely beauty.

'C'mon, walk. Come to me, Kai. Follow me. Come on Kia.' Thousands of voices echoed out, all of them seeming to come from one direction.

Suddenly the water formed a path of ripples, beckoning me forward. But I remained where I stood. I liked it here, why did I want to go on.

'Kai, come on. It's better. Come to me. Follow me, Kai.' The voices urged, the blackness lifting to show my island.

I gasped slightly, stepping forward. Suddenly something grabbed my arm, pulling me back. I turned around and the world spun.

As it shifted back I saw Ray dragging me back inside, rambling nonsense.

"I wanna watch movie, what sounds best to you? Serendipity or or Dragonfly? Serendipity you say? Hmm I agree, lets watch that." He yammered not really even asking me the questions.

He pushed me towards the couch, waving for me to sit down. I glared between him and the sofa. I wasn't really in the mood for movies. Besides I think I need to go find some anti-psychotics…

I turned my glared away, crossing my arms. Ray took my forearm and stared up at me with his pleading golden eyes. I grumbled and stalked over to the couch, sitting on my end and glaring at him.

He got my silent 'Happy now?' and nodded, his smile back in full force. I think I've been blinded…

"Okay, and now for Serendipity!" He chuckled and started the movie.

That introduction got old after the second time. I've been forced to see this so many times I have it memorized.

"Blah, blah blah, fate, blah." I mutter disdainfully.

Ray snickers trying futility to stifle his laughs. So now I'm smirking and holding in my laughs. He has infectious laughs, I swear he can walk into clinic for depressed people and with in seconds they'd all be laughing with him.

Ray yawns and curls his feet under him, snuggling into the blanket he stole from the back of the couch.

As the movie plays Ray gets more and more sleepy, his head drifting closer and closer my way. I would be tired to it this was the 800th time I've seen this movie. The tape has been played so many times that the color is going and the VCR doesn't even need the tape to play this.

My eyes fall shut and I let my self get drawn into the flickering screen. I watch memories flicker by, my vision clouding with smiling faces and victorious cheer flooding from them. Suddenly I see darkness and red the images switch to my past. I gage slightly as they unexpectedly bombard my mind. Even when I squeeze my eyes shut they still rampage over me.

'We can help you. Follow us. Come on Kai, you want help.' The voices come again, pushing away the memories. The sudden scent of flowers and ocean overwhelm my senses.

'Let's go Kai. Break away. Come to us.' The voices coax me, softly cooing in my ear.

I look up to see that path was back, the ripples waving enthusiastically at me. The path sprouted up plants and soft petals floated through the air.

Suddenly I was knocked away from there. I looked over to see Ray had finally fallen over; unfortunately it was upon me. I sighed and scooped him up, taking him back to his room.

I laid him on his bed, tossing the blanket from the sofa atop. As I drifted to my room I swore I heard him mumble something. I cast it off as my wild imagination striking again.

"Patients, everything is set. All we need is a push."
Ohh! What is going on!? Can you guess? I find it very obvious, but let me know what your thoughts are. -wicked glint-
