A/N: Another AU-ish story, so the warnings are the same. It's set a few years after the World Tournament in Beyblade G-Revolution, and they never met the BEGA. The characters may act more OOC, and of course there is YAOI/YURI pairings.

Pairings: The same ol' TyKa, MaRe, TaBy, KenHil

Summery: Setting is after the world tournament and a few years later. Kai's life has changed over the years, because of a certain blue haired boy. With a new tournament up a head, Kai is caught up in a dilemma with a little girl who appeared out of nowhere and the struggle to hide his feelings. Now a strange threat has appeared, and it's up to Kai to protect both the girl and Takao.

Disclaimers: I'm sorry… I don't own Beyblade or any of the characters, but my own idea in the fic and some of my own characters… I'm kind of poor really. I used all just to buy candy for my little siblings, just to shut them up. -;

Crossing Fate
By: Blind Dark Fate
Chapter One: Oblivious Feelings

Eyes widened in terror, seeing as the blade ripped through the body in front of her. Tears weld up in her eyes, as she shook her head in great pain and disbelief. Her whole body was shaking, and her heart pounded louder between her ears. The blade was pulled back, and traces of the crimson substance splattered all around. She couldn't take it, and she opened her mouth to yell out. "OJIISAN!" Then a huge light engulfed her and her surroundings, blinding up the area all around her. The whiteness that clouded her vision was soon replaced by black.
Blinking open ruby red eyes, Kai Hiwatari sat up from the grass he was resting on from the hillside viewing the big Bay City. He deeply took in some air into his lungs, and slowly let it out. Time has changed over the years, and he is now seventeen years old. He's grown much, and into quite a very handsome young man. He has gain robust muscles, apparent through his white collard uniform shirt. His hair has grown out a bit, and more wild than before, but pulled back into a low ponytail.

Kai has been living in Bay City for some years now, and stayed because of many reasons. After his grandfather was thrown to jail, he inherited all the fortune and the big company that his grandfather has own. He didn't want to stay very long in Russia, or live there because of the bad memories. So a trusted temporary president runs the company until Kai was old enough to run it. He lived in Bay City because Mr. Dickinson offered a place to stay here for free, and it was close to Headquarters of the BBA. His old teammates were also living there as well; glad to be close to their friends. Kai felt a bit modest about being accepted as there friends after all the hard times they been through from him. But, he also stayed there because of a certain someone…

"Hey Kai-kun!" The dual haired teen turned his head to see a smaller and younger teen running up to him. His heart started to race, and he felt joy springing from inside, but he didn't show it much but through a tiny smile he offered. The younger teen was the recognizable world champion Takao Kinomiya. He was now sixteen, and was wear the same uniform, but with the black blazer and a purple long tie. "Sorry I'm late. Hiromi-san kept me in class to help clean out the class." The teen sighed.

Kai smiled, and shook his head, saying he didn't care. Takao plopped down beside the older teen, and were surrounded in a comfortable silence. Takao has grown, but not that much height-wise. He was only 5'6", while all his friends surpassed him reaching around six feet tall, even Kyoujyu was two inches taller, and Hiromi about an inch. His looks have changed, almost a bit feminine, that makes all the girls -and some boys- in school think of him as 'kawaii'. He still had the same bright stormy blue eyes, and his midnight blue hair was cut shoulder length, with black streaks on his bangs, but still in its low ponytail. He's also matured, not really thinking ahead this time, and shockingly doesn't eat as much as he did when he was younger. The thing that never changed, and Kai hopes it won't ever, is his attractive personality. In his self-less way, he puts a smile on everyone's face when they are down. He always tries to comfort anyone, especially his friends. He cares for them deeply, and would put his life on the line in order to save them. His effective compassion deeply touches everyone, and they will never forget a kind and unique boy like Takao. And that's what Kai loves about him. 'Love?' The older teen blushed and turned his head away so the younger one won't notice.

Takao took off his blazer, and untied his tie. He placed it in a pile beside him, and fell back to stare at the endless blue sky. "Summer is almost here, are you going to Russia with Tala-san and the others?" He asked, breaking the silence. It was just like Takao to strike up conversations when he gets agitated when it's too quiet…

Kai looked up at the sky. "Most likely. The World Tournament is close by, and we'd need to train." He fell back as well, as they stared at the clear sky. "After this, we agreed to retire from competing in tournaments."

"Aww… why?" Takao looked at him with sad eyes.

"Because, we're kind of getting old, and we'd like to give the other new Beyblading teams a chance into the tournaments." Kai replied, trying to resist looking into Takao's alluring eyes. The boy blinked his eyes, and then turned back up at the sky. It became quite again.

"I think I understand… Rei-kun said he was going to retire as well…" Takao frowned a bit. "But it won't be the same without you guys there. The only competition I'd be getting is from Max-kun." Then he sighed. "But then you guys are going off to college pretty soon as well." His tone seemed a bit sad, and Kai noticed.

He sucked in a breath and held it for a little while, before opening his mouth to reply. "Rei-san would probably go to college in America, and I will probably too. They have good business schools there, but I might want to also go to Tokyo University…" he reasoned out, hoping that Takao didn't sound too depress. His moods are very effective as well, that it can also affect the people around him.

"Hm… I might go there too, but then America won't be bad. Kyoujyu-kun and Max-kun wants to go there as well, because of the different education there." He smiled to himself, and Kai felt relieved. Then he suddenly blushed. 'What if he follows me where I go? Could it possibly… no… maybe?' Lately Kai's been thinking a lot lately, and especially about this special teen lying beside him. He began to realize his feelings right after the first World Championships they weren't the Blade Breakers. Tala, Bryan and Spencer would always tease him, saying that he was transparent and it was fairly obvious he liked him. But then that little crush, that he tried so hard to ignore, turned into something more.

"Takao-kun! Kai-san!" The two teens sat up to see Kyoujyu, the young computer genius running down the hill towards them. He waved at them, and Takao enthusiastically waved back. The boy slid, and landed near them. Takao and Kai quickly helped the younger teen. Kyoujyu is also sixteen, and attends the same high school as they do, seeing as he wore the same uniform. Kyoujyu has grown a lot, a bit taller than Takao is, and grew some muscles that strike the girls to have crushes on him. His hair wasn't so bushy, but messy and bit spiky on the ends in a style. He doesn't wear his big round eyeglasses anymore, but wore contacts. Hiromi admittedly told Kyoujyu that he looked more handsome.

"What's up, Kyoujyu-kun?" Takao chuckled.

The light haired teen sat up, and handed them each an envelope. Takao looked at it with question, but Kai opened it right away. "It's an invitation." Kyoujyu said. Kai looked up at the younger teen. Takao opened his. "It's the Blossom Tournament that is held every other year, that only invites the best of the Beybladers from around the world. Coincidentally, you guys qualify, even Rei-san and Max-kun. It's those Beybladers who consecutively attend many tournaments and participated 75 of the time. It also states that the Beybladers were chosen to compete individually and participate as they wish." Kyoujyu pointed up a finger in knowing. "From what I have heard, the Blossom Tournament is a privet competition that chooses the Beybladers. You should consider yourselves lucky." He nodded to himself. "I guess there were those who sponsor the Blossom Tournament that have monitored all your battles and thought that maybe you guys were qualified. They only choose the best of the best."

Takao awed. "Wow! This is so cool! The best of the best?" He was bouncing with excitement. "Hey look at the list… What? Daichi-chan is also invited?" He nearly yelled.

"Well, over the years, especially for his young age among the teams that he competes against, he's really a tough Beyblader." Kai stated.

Takao rubbed his nose and sheepishly grinned. "Well, I guess I did teach him all I could for the little guy." Kyoujyu hit Takao on the back of his head, and Takao stuck out his tongue. "So when is this thing at?" He looked at it. "Whoa! In two weeks! And we are also excused from school…" Takao jumped from his place and shouted with joy. "Yes! A break from school!" Kyoujyu shook his head, and sighed. Kai laughed to himself, but the two didn't notice.

They were gathered around the round dinner table in their apartment's kitchen area, Kai, Takao, Max and Rei. The raven-haired Chinese stood up from the table and took the empty plates into the sink. "So, a Tournament, huh?" He turned on the faucet and waited till it was lukewarm. Rei Kon is the second oldest, but the same age as Kai, seventeen. He's grown taller, and much more built then before. He still had his long ponytail, and the same golden eyes.

"I'm kind of psyched!" chirped Max Mizuhara, the bubbly blonde. He was Takao's age of sixteen, and the best friend of the blue haired teen. He's grown up pretty tall as well, and his hair cut short, and messier over his ocean blue eyes. He went as wild as to have some black streaks in them, shocking mostly his dad. "So I guess we have to start training."

"But two weeks is kind of short, don't you think?" Takao questioned, finishing his cake that he and Max made yesterday.

It was just the four of them that lived in the same apartment. Kyoujyu stayed in the main city with his family, helping out at the little restaurant business as many times as he can. Hiromi stayed with her family, plus Mr. Dickinson thought it bad for a female to live under the same roof with four guys. (Boy isn't he absent-minded.) And Daichi, he stayed with Takao's grandpa at the dojo, and lived with him. Some accident happened to his family a while back, and they offered him a place at the dojo. He took Takao's old room, seeing as he lived now on his own with his own roommates. The apartment was rather big, having its own floor in the building. There are four bedrooms, with three bathrooms. One that is close to the entrance, and the other two join two rooms together, so they have to share bathrooms. The living room was really big, with a large entertainment system and everything, that Kai generously bought (or rather Takao talked about getting one, and then Kai decided to make the teen happy). They had a rather large kitchen area with a stove island in the center (which made Rei really happy of the size). The apartment also had its own lounging room, and a sort of dinning room, when they had more than just the four of them for dinner. There was also a library/study room, and an extra guestroom. Each have there own room, decorated their own specific way, and together they did the outside. Hiromi was impressed to see the boys doing some interior decorating; she was even shocked to hear Kai help too.

"Yeah, but the ones who are invited are all familiar, except for a few. Two weeks can whip us back into shape, yeah?" Max looked at his former teammates. Sure they live together, and are the best of friends, all four of them, including Kai, but they still have their own teams, hoping to claim the title of World Champions from one another.

Kai shrugged. "Two weeks isn't enough, if this tournament is supposedly for Beybladers with the greatest of skills." He said in his deep tone. Takao nodded in agreement.

"Even so, they should have alerted us before, maybe give us like a month or so, not two weeks." Rei pointed out. He turned off the running water, and dried his hands. He walked over to the table. "But, I guess I'd train a bit here, for a week, and spend the last week over with the White Tigers, and probably meet you guys there at the competition." He said.

Max's expression brightened. "I guess I'll do that too!" Kai shrugged.

Rei stretched out, and sat up. "I'm done with my homework. Max-chan and I are going to go to the super market to stock on food." Max bounced off his seat, and latched on to Rei's arm. The raven-haired teen blushed, and they walked out, waving to the last two people in the apartment. Kai blinked at the couple, and felt a bit envious. Takao smiled, and stood up with his plate, and went to wash it in the sink.

It was quite obvious that Rei and Max had a thing for each other. Surprisingly, they've been together for quite some time, and only just admitted it to their friends that they were a couple. This was no surprise to everyone, and they were really happy for the two. Rei is still not use to the public display of affection, but is a bit comfortable when around his friends. When Takao was done, he turned around and smiled. "Well, I still have to finish my homework. So I'll be in my room, okay?" He announced. Kai nodded, and watched the blue haired teen retreat to his own room.

Kai stood up and stretched a bit. He looked around the quite apartment, aside from the muffled blast of music coming from the young teen's room. He finished all his homework, and had nothing to do but go to bed early. It was only six, and Kai didn't feel a slight bit tired. He took his keys from the hooks of where all the keys go, and decided to go out. He was debating whether to tell Takao he's leaving or not. He remembered one day when they were walking back to their apartment after school that Takao admitted that he felt really hurt that Kai left with out saying anything. This sparked a bit of hope for Kai, and he still is. But the oblivious boy still shows no sign of affection, so he waits.

He went up to Takao's door, and can hear the blaring music inside the boy's room with a heavy bass. He inhaled and held it. Then he knocked, before opening the door. He was greeted by the loud music booming from the boy's room, and he could see the younger teen on the bed lying on his stomach, with his textbooks open and papers sprawled near him. He looked up at Kai blinking with questioning innocent blue eyes. "I'm going to go out!" He yelled through the music. Takao smiled and nodded, understanding. Kai quickly closed the door, and suddenly could hear himself think. 'Always curious to me as to how he can get decent grades with listening to very loud music like that…' He thought. He shook his head and sighed, then left the apartment.

"So when are you going to leave for Russia, Kai-kun?"

The dual haired teen blinked his ruby eyes, and looked down to stare into Takao's stormy ones. He turned his head away. "Tomorrow morning." He replied simply. The two walked off into the parking lot towards Kai's red-parked car. They dropped off Rei and Max in the airport for them to travel to their current teams. After training under Kai, like they use to in the old days, a week has passed by quickly, and they were all ready to meet with their own teams to prepare further on their Beyblade training with their teams. They practiced after school, and the whole gang was there, Kyoujyu, Hiromi, Max, Rei, Takao, Kai and the addition of Daichi. Kai honestly didn't want to leave Bay City, or rather Takao. He was suddenly having bad vibes, and strange dreams he could never understand. He wants to talk about it, but then he's afraid to get Takao all worried over him (though he doesn't mind a bit…). "You have school tomorrow."

Takao pouted, and this made Kai blush slightly at his 'cute' expression. "I know… but I want to see you off." This caused Kai's heart to race. 'But he only want to do so, because you are just his friend to him.' He said to himself. "I could skip classes, and just come in at lunch, or I can call in sick!" He clasped his hands together, laughing to himself.

Kai shook his head. "No Takao-kun, you need to go to school. Beside, I'm leaving around the time you'll wake up, and I'm leaving very early to the airport." Kai said. His heart felt like ripping apart for causing that sad look on the blue haired teen's expression.

"Okay, fine then!" He stomped his foot, and the boy turned to face the older teen. "Let's spend the rest of the day somewhere together! It's unfair I don't get to see you off, so I'll treat you out tonight!" He declared. He nodded, grinning widely.

Kai nearly bugged his eyes out, but didn't show it. "Why?" He said calmly, though his heart was racing very fast.

Takao hooked his arm around the older teen's arm, and they started walking to the car. "Because." He answered. "We haven't gone out much, you know just you and me. Max-kun and Rei-kun always go out together… even though they are like a couple now. But we don't go out much. So why not we go have some fun somewhere." He tried to reason out, his eyes pleading.

They stopped in front of Kai's car. The doors unlocked, and Kai went in to the driver's side. He didn't want to look at Takao right now, because he's afraid he'll notice this reddened face, especially on his pale complexion. He started the car, and took in a deep breath. "Fine… where do you want to go?" He said in his deep tone. Takao cheered excitingly. 'It's just a friend's outing… that's all… right?' Kai can still feeling his heart heating quickly, as he backed up the car, and drove off to their destination.

Shivering a bit, Kai pulled closer his coat, adjusting to the cold temperature of Russia. It's been a while since he's last been back to the old country, before school started. Sure it was supposedly spring, but it was slightly colder here than back at Bay City in Japan. Kai closed his eyes, trying to get warm from the black scarf around his neck. It was the scarf Takao got him for Christmas last year, and he really cherished it. Takao thought that maybe Kai loved scarves, so he bought him a new one from the old white one he always wears. Kai smiled to himself, remembering the glassy eyes Takao had when Kai thanked him.

"Hey, Kai!"

The dual haired teen fluttered his ruby eyes open to see his old friend Tala Ivanov standing in front of him with an amused look, and a hand on his hip. Tala has grown taller over the years as well, and got a strong built from all the work out and training. He had spiky red hair, with a few strands over his icy blue eyes. He smirked at the younger teen. "I thought you were coming later at night." He said in his deep tone. "What, you had a fight with your boy friend?" Kai glared, and went to walk past the older teammate. Tala chuckled and followed him to where supposedly his car was.

That night, Kai was getting ready for bed. He took the spare room in Tala and Bryan's apartment. Bryan Kuznetson, another member of the Blitzbrieg Boys, is the same age as Tala and Kai are, seventeen. He too grew taller, but a bit shorter than Kai and Tala are. His hair was slightly longer than before, and a bit wild and spiky. He lives with Tala, seeing as they were a couple as well, and have been for quite some time. Kai was staring to get jealous of all his friends getting together. They went out for dinner with Spencer, talking about the up coming competition, and only Tala and Kai were the only ones invited to compete. Bryan and Spencer were going to be there anyways to support them like they always do as a team. Spencer was as tall as ever, and he didn't change much. He was going to college now, and said he might not be able to see the Blossom Tournament.

Kai pulled back the sheets of the bed, and went in it. He could see the clear night through the frosted window. He sighed, and shifted in his bed, before falling asleep with a certain blue haired teen in his mind.

+Fluttering open his ruby eyes, he was staring at an unfamiliar room, with a lone figure standing in the middle of it. It was very small, with his or her head bowed down. Kai blinked his eyes. And then there was a body lying before that small figure. Then blood seeped out from under that body, and Kai suddenly felt his stomach turn oddly.

The figure raised its head, and turned to look at Kai. It was a little girl, with a tear stained face. She looked at him with big chocolate eyes that where clouded with many tears. She opened her mouth to speak, but Kai couldn't hear anything as she moved her lips. Suddenly his surroundings changed, and he was now in the middle of a ruined city. The buildings were crumbled, and the sky was black and red. There were many bodies lying around. Kai walked up to one and recognized it as his friend Tala. When he stepped back, he suddenly recognized each and every body of the people he has met over the time. There was Rei, Max, Kyoujyu, Hiromi, Daichi, Bryan, and…

Kai widened his eyes, and shook his head. He ran up to the limp body and picked it up. He brushed away the dark strands of hair to reveal the paled and cut face of Takao. "No…" He felt his whole body was wrenching, and he pulled the boy's head to his chest. "What's going on? I don't like this anymore…" He whispered, trying to fight back the tears threatening to escape from his eyes.

Then the scene changed, and he was falling in and endless void of black. There were voices, each one talking at the same time. He couldn't make out one voice, and they were all flooding in his mind. He closed his eyes, trying to do anything to make himself wake up. He was confused and couldn't understand anything anymore.

When he opened his eyes, he was standing in a new surrounding. There was a person, standing by themselves, with beautiful blossomed Sakuras surrounding that figure. Kai stepped up, and suddenly a burst of wings popped out from that person's back. The figured softly glowed, slightly brightening the area. Then the figure turned its head, and it was Takao, smiling ever gently at Kai. He felt his heart flutter, and he awed at the serene scene before him. Feathers were floating about everywhere, mixing with the Sakura blossoms.

Kai blinked his eyes, and a little girl replaced Takao. She lifted her face, and had the same chocolate eyes. She smiled familiarly at Kai. "The time is near for when the Ancient gods will rise." Flashes of scenes where entering through his mind. It was all overwhelming, seeing many unrecognizable moments that he couldn't tell apart. He stepped back, trying to focus on that tiny girl, but the images kept on coming. "Let the Tsubasa no Hikari spread, and the powers of Destruction and Rebirth flood the earth to obliterate the hunting darkness."

He stepped back again, still trying to shake off the flooding images. "Hold true to your heart, and let the light guide you from the darkness…" He took another step, but fell back into the darkness, seeing the girl look down at him, until darkness covered his whole vision again+

Gasping for air, Kai sat up, and looked around at his surroundings. He recalled it as the guest room of his teammates'. He was breathing hoarsely, and in a cold sweat. He looked over at the time and saw that it was five in the morning. He sighed and bent over, with one hand on his head supporting him up. He closed his eyes trying to remember all that happened in his dream. 'What was that about…? What does it have to do with Takao, and who was that girl?'
((So, how was it? I tried a different prospective this time, and used Kai's. Yay! Don't worry; I'm still going to finish my other fics, if you were interested on those. So I used the Japanese names of Kenny, Hilary and Tyson, but not Tala and Bryan's. I did use their Japanese last names, but I like the dub names of Tala and Bryan's. I could have used Yuriy instead of Tala, but it's unfair if I use Bryan instead of Boris, because Boris sounds like an old name to me… no offence though. Plus it keeps making me think of Balkov instead…

So the pairings are pretty obvious in the story, and it will stay that way. There will be many other warnings up ahead, and just to warn you in advance, there will be some m-preg… but I won't mention it much. It makes me wonder how guys can be that way, but let's just say it happens anyways… So I'm warning you in advance, because some of you might not like the idea. But it all goes with the plan I have in the future of this fic.

There are also supernatural powers that go with this fic, and um… I'm trying to think of a prophecy, but nah… The words that little girl says aren't part of a prophecy, but a little lesson… I think…

Who is that girl anyways? And will the ever-dense Takao return Kai's feelings? What's up with Kai's dreams? Who will win in this 'mysterious' Blossom Tournament? I guess you're just have to find out, and please do review! I'll update after three reviews… I'm that much of a pessimistic person. Hee. Hee.))
