Me: Hello from a new story.

Rei: Actually this story is kind of old.

Tala: REALLY old.

Tyson: REALLY REALLY OLD!

Me: Shut up before I kill you.

Everyone Else: -Shuts up-

Me: Ehem, anyways this is Kai/Rei tragic love story and I wrote this a helluva long time ago so I decided to shteal it from my mail and upload it. Do the disclaimer Kai.

Kai: Do I have to?

Me: Do you want to get paid?

Kai: Whatever, HatedDearly does not own me, thank God, or any of the characters from the Beyblade series. She however owns Rin and Hikari so sucks for them. They are OCs.

Me: Hoorah, if you have trouble picturing Rin and Hikari I'll give you the links on which I based them off of. HOORAH!

Rei: If you based Rin and Hikari off of pictures you found on photobucket, then they really aren't all that original are they?

Me: Rei.

Rei: What?

Me: Bite me.

My Immortal

The only thing certain in life is death. Except for those who can't die. Then they have nothing certain. Everyday is a guess. Sounds exciting, but it get old after awhile, after a hundred years or so. Looking into the same sky every night, one memorizes every star and names them, and remembers their names. People come, people go, people are born, and then they die. It is the inevitable destiny for all of us. Those shrouded in darkness, those who never let the ray of sun trickle across their skin, those who can't reach out and touch life, and those who feel numb, there heart, nothing more then a useless shriveled organ. Darkness is all that is known, the cold touch of the moon beams, and the soft night wind is all that is felt. Such is a life of a person who merely watches from the shadows, and hunts for the life of another.

Golden eyes peered from the shadows from the top of a magnificent building. One of many in New York City, this place crawled with life. every sound could be heard through the heightened ears of a hunter. Every breath, down to every heartbeat. The eyes could see the sweat glistening on the surface, and hear the nervous words of lovers in the complex 17 flights down.

The wind surrounded him, blowing the black hair against his tanned skin as he looked up at the sky. His long raven hair was tied back in a pony tail. He looked up at the sky, he was so high he could see the stars above the city lights. Two hundred years worth of star gazing, nothing had really changed. It was a night like it had been for the last 60 years, people drinking, laughing...living.

He sighed, he didn't need to breath, but he still did to keep his humanity. He stared down at the people. He wished to reach out and touch them, but they were a temptation he couldn't touch. He stared up at the sky. It would be morning soon. The sun, the hopeful sun of life, all he could feel was cold and see darkness. He stared down at the humans, the mortals, and their blessed short life. What he wouldn't give to die.

After outliving all his loved ones, and carrying nothing but heartbreak for two hundred years, he was ready to take a stake to his own heart. He was to cowardly though, because he knew what awaited a soulless freak such as himself. Blinding torture and pain for eternity. He gave a soft smile. He'd rather face that, then an eternity of numbing blackness. It was nights like this...

A tear fell from his eyes and crashed to the ground...

That brought him to mind...

A figure cloaked in black sat against the wall, one leg up, his arm resting on that leg as his red eyes stared out into the night. He should be out hunting, but instead he was babysitting. A hunter none the less, but it hadn't exactly been a suggestion from his grandfather. He stood up and went to the fridge getting out a packet of blood and biting into it.

"Kai! Don't drink that stuff around the Chief, you know he's squeamish." Tyson said from the couch as he played Twisted Metal 3 and Kai sighed leaning on the couch watching the stupid game. He'd lived for a thousand years and he had never met a more annoying hunter then Tyson. He was useless to be sure, but he was working with Voltaire to destroy his enemies. The old man saw something in him, and he had been alive for a little bit longer then Kai.

'This is so stupid, why do I need to be babysitting a sixteen year old runt and his geek buddy.' Kai thought. 'Not to mention drink knock off blood.' He thought as he threw the empty package behind him.

"Was that cows blood?" He asked.

"You know my rules Kai-teme, no real human blood. I do work for the good guys you know!" Tyson shouted.

"Yeah, sure, whatever. When's your brother supposed to be back anyway?" Kai asked.

"I dunno, he's been going out alot. Sorry if I don't have time to keep track of him. He is the greatest hunter in the world." Tyson said and Kai sighed and looked over at the boy who sat on the couch with glassed to big for his entire head.

"Cheif." He said and the brunette turned with a horrified look on his face.

For the so called Vampire expert he was, he was a skittish kid, and he'd pee his pants at the sight of a real vampire battle. Kai was the oldest, and most powerful vampire in the city, next to his grandfather of course.

Kai sighed as he took a step back. He couldn't stand being here. Hiro had better hurry and get home, or he was liable to make a feast out of geek boy and that moron hunter Tyson. Just as he thought this the metal door opened and in walked the best of the best, his light blue hair mussed and falling out of it's small wrap, and dirt and blood covering his body and white shirt and black pants as he fell into the sofa breathing hard and kicking off his boots.

"Long night?" Tyson asked.

"Very, I must have run into five of them just coming back here." Hiro whispered his eyes closed and sweat gleaming on his pale skin. Kai looked at him from the corner of his eye. Hiro was the only mortal Kai had any sort of respect for. After living as long as he did, the only thing he had seen out of humans was murder.

There was no softness in their eyes, no love in their hearts for anyone subjected unwillingly to a life of torture. Even go so far as sacrificing their own kind for useless causes. It sickened him to the point where he wished to wipe out all of humanity. He had once found a speck of hope amongst the useless humans, but that treachery was something he had lived with for two hundred years, a short blink in his lifetime, but it felt like two thousand to him.

"Kai, thanks for watching out for my little brother." Hiro said looking back at him with a smile in his brown eyes.

"Whatever, I'm heading underground." He said walking over to a sewer and picking it up. "The sun will be up soon." He said and jumped down. Smiling eyes...he held his head...almost like the ones that looked upon him so fondly once.

But never again.

"Rei, what are you doing out here so late? Your going to catch your death, literally." A voice behind him said, two ice blue eyes staring at him from the darkness as the younger male closed his eyes smiling slightly. "Maybe that's my plan." He said lowering his head as a boy with firey red hair stepped out of the darkness and stared at him.

"Tala, do you think hell is better then this life?" Rei asked holding out his hand and staring at it.

"I'm quite fond of living myself, but then again I'm no expert." Tala replied and walked up behind Rei. He was four hundred years old: two hundred Reis senior. He put his hand on Reis shoulder.

"What's got you thinking about death anyway Rei-kun?" Tala asked and Rei shook his head. Although two hundred years his senior, Tala had no idea the dark secrets Rei held within him.

"Nothing." He whispered and looked up at the sky with a soft smile. Even through the darkest of nights, Rei was the most pure hearted vampire Tala had ever known. It was almost as if he still had a soul. The only thing Rei had was a conscience, which kept him from hunting and killing. He'd more then once deprived himself of blood for over a long period of time. Without Tala being there to save him, he would have undoubtedly died.

"I wonder..." Rei whispered and Talas eyes widened. "I wonder if any of them know, what it's like to want to die." He whispered stepping forward.

"Rei..." Tala called as Rei stepped over the edge falling to the ground and Tala gritted his teeth. Rei couldn't die by a fall like this, but he would cause a hell of an uproar. Down, down, down, he fell the wind whooshing past his ears as he flipped and landed on his feet on the ground as if he'd jumped from a tree, the impact of his fall causing a slight crack to form in the pavement and he fell to his knees clutching his head, tears seeping through the cracks in between his fingers and crashing to the ground.

"Dammit, why can't I DIE!" He screamed punching the ground causing a giant hole and him to be aware of the people around him as they ran screaming 'Monster' and Tala landed behind him and bent over touching his shoulder as they raised up.

"C'mon, let's get you inside before the sun comes out." He said and led the boy away into the alley as the sun reached over the horizon.

"Sorry..." Rei whispered as they sat in their apartment building and Tala handed him a nice steaming mug of blood.

"83, a good year." Tala winked and Rei smiled slightly.

"I guess I sort of just, broke down." He said.

"That's okay, remember the time of Jack the Ripper?" Tala asked and Rei nodded. "Yeah that was my midlife crisis." Tala joked, or was he serious. Rei could never be sure with the older male. "You know maybe if you talked about your problems, you would feel better." Tala said and Rei looked up at him.

"Did you hear, how they yelled monster at us. They know who we are. We don't give the mortals enough credit. They've known who we are for centuries." Rei said and leaned his head back staring up at the ceiling.

"Did you here Rei?" Rei turned to his neighbor.

"What Miss Chang?" He asked and the charming middle aged woman frowned.

"The ancient vampire has been set free. The one from the stone coffin." She said. "Ancient, how old is he?" Rei asked.

"Eight hundred they say, he's an old one. He plagued villages, mercilessly killing with unbridled bloodlust for five hundred years until the ancient druids put him in a three hundred year sleep. He has finally awakened, all the hunters from the villages have gone to hunt down the monster." She said and Rei looked at her with his head cocked to the side and a smile on his face.

"I think it's an old wise tale." He said. "In plus, nobody's a true monster. Vampires were once humans right? That means they're just like you and me, only without a soul." Rei said.

"The soul is what makes you and me." Miss Chang said. "You are so innocent Rei, please stay away from the outside of town. In no time the monster will be destroyed and we can go back to happy living." She said and Rei nodded getting up with his basket of husked corn and bowed.

"I will Miss Chang, but I must go gather some herbs in the forest. I promise not to stray to far." He said with a smile. He was sixteen, so he could take care of himself. Just to humour Miss Chang, he'd stay out of the way of any vampire, or any other dangerous creature for that matter.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Tala asked hugging his legs to his chest, his hands tucked underneath his legs. Rei snapped out of his memories and turned his golden eyes back to Tala.

"It has to do with everything." Rei whispered.

Living alone wasn't so bad, only he wasn't alone now. Kai pushed open the metal elevator door to his apartment ready to kill the intruder. He stepped inside and saw a young woman sitting in a chair by his bed reading one of his books that he kept in the large library. A vampire, or vampiress according to sex. She looked up taking off her glasses to reveal silver eyes that stared at him as she set down the book.

"Kai Hiwatari, I must say, I expected someone a little more...tough looking." She said.

"Do I know you?" He asked.

"No, but you should." She stood up her long violet hair falling down her back, the small light in the room almost making it look almost white.

"Give me your name." He said.

"Hikari, I'd tell you my last, but I forgot it a long time ago. Your grandfather sent me with this." She walked over to him handing him an envelope. Kai took it, it was heavy. "I didn't look, I didn't bother." She said.

"You work for my grandfather?" He asked looking up at her and she stared at him with her haunting silver eyes.

"I do, you and I are on the same team, more or less." She said and Kai glared.

"I'm not involved in my grandfathers business." He said.

"Is that why you play babysitter for that little hunter?" She asked smirking as she shown her pearly white fangs.

'So, she is a vampire.' He thought. No surprise there, he'd already known because of the smell. Another vampire working for his grandfather, who was the self proclaimed king.

"He said that it was something you lost a long time ago." She said and walked past him. "Your collection of Poe is astounding by the way." She whispered. He heard his elevator door open and close as the girl went underground. Kai opened the envelope and out fell a gold locket. He opened it up and strands of black hair were tied in a bundle inside and glued to the center.

"If your going to leave me." Two golden eyes looked up at him that were filled with tears. "Then here, take this with you. Don't forget me." A locket was tied around his neck.

"Please, don't make this harder then it has to be. I'm doing this to protect you, if I hadn't got there in time..." Two lips were brought onto his as his fingers touched the tear stained cheeks.

"So to hold onto you, I must let you go?" The lips whispered against his as fresh tears squeezed out of the normally bright golden eyes.

"Keep me in your heart." His pale hands gripped the smaller tanned ones and brought them to his lips.

"Always." He said and the hands fell to the locket.

Kai shut the locket and squeezed wishing to break it, but he could not find the strength. He brought it around his neck and latched it.

'Still, after two hundred years of never seeing you, not even once. You come to haunt me again. I hate you so much Rei, I hate you with all the hate that flows through my body.' He thought and fell to the floor grasping his head as tears welled into his eyes. There is a fine line between love and hate, and all it takes is a step of the edge to shatter a world into pieces.

Me: Did you like it? Should I continue to put up more chapters?? Give me your feedback.

Kai: Yeah or she won't ever leave you guys alone.

Rei: She's a little weirdy.
