Zypher: Well, I'm surprised I got a review for this story so that means I won that bet. Beat that, Kai!

Kai: You're lucky but I bet you still won't get many reviews as this story goes on.

Rei: Leave her alone, Kai. You should be glad that she got one.

Zypher: Yeah. Listen to him, Kai, or else you won't be paired up with him.

Kai: Fine. I hate it when you do that.

Transformation

Chapter 2

Two days later, Kai, Dijah and Shendao were packed up and ready to go. "Well, is everyone ready?" Dijah asked. They nodded and they soon left out for the airport. Once they got there, their flight was called and they left for the gate. "Man, I going to miss being here. So many memories." Dijah said and both Kai and Shendao had to nod.

'Soon, Rei. I'll be there with you.' Kai thought as they got their seats and the plane took off for Asia.

At the neko-jin village, Rei sat in his home, looking at a picture of his old team before he left to join White Tiger X. 'Kai, I miss you so much. I wish I didn't left without saying goodbye at least.' Rei thought as he placed the picture back on the night stand and got up from his bed and left to go outside.

He met with Lee at the small fountain in the center of the village. "Hey Rei, why do you look so depressed?" Lee asked. "It's nothing Lee. I just miss Tyson and the others. I never really had the chance to say goodbye to them before we left." Rei said. 'Especially to Kai but he couldn't worry about me since he had a big battle with Tyson.' Rei thought quietly.

Lee placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it, Rei. It's not like they would forget about you. We did well in the tournament but even though we lost against the Blitzkrieg Boys, it's the fact that we learn how to work together in a team for us to have gotten that far." Lee said.

Rei sighed and nodded. He was right, even thought they never made it to the finals, it was great to work together to win; especially with his old teammates before he joined the Bladebreakers. "So, what do you want to do, Rei? It is a nice day." Lee said. "How about we do some beybattles? I haven't done any ever since we got back." Rei said and Lee nodded as they went to one of the beydishes that were around their village.

Rei's POV

Now I was glad to be back home in my village but I still miss Kai. Ever since he won that battle against me with his new attack for Dranzer Gig, I never felt better than losing to Kai. I never had the chance to express my feelings to him before he left. And now, I might not ever have the chance again until the next tournament.

But what would happen then? Will he still be on the Blitzkrieg Boys? Or will he even participate? No matter which team he joins and I'm forced to go against him, my feelings will never diminish. I will always love you, Kai.

Normal POV

They continued to walk until they reached an unoccupied beydish. "Are you ready, Rei?" Lee asked as stood on the opposite end of the dish. "I'm ready if you are." Rei said. "Ok then. 3...2...1," Lee counted. "Let it rip!" They both said and launched their blades into the dish.

Kai looked out the window of the plane, Dijah sitting next to him and Shendao sitting behind them. Dijah looked to him. "Are you ok, Kai?" he asked. Kai looked over to him. "I'm fine, Dijah. Just thinking." Kai said. "Alright. If you have anything to talk about, just tell me." Dijah said and he nodded before looking out the window again.

Kai's POV

Why is it that I'm having doubts about this? Being a neko-jin may change my life but if it means I can be with Rei then I will do anything. But what if Rei doesn't accept this change in me, then I came here for nothing. I just can't think that would happen. I just can't.

Please Rei, please accept me for what I am about to do.

I will do anything for you, even if it's means becoming a neko-jin.

Normal POV

Back in the village, Rei and Lee were done with their battle, Rei being the victor and they were relaxing outside of the village in the vast field. "So Rei, do you still like Kai?" Lee asked and he nodded. "Yeah. No matter what I do, I will never stop loving Kai. There's no possible way how. Even if we are far away, I will still love him." Rei said. Lee growled silently to himself.

Ever since Rei left the White Tigers to join the Bladebreakers, he has missed him. A lot. He always wanted to tell that he loved him but when he saw him and the Bladebreakers, he saw Kai standing too close to him. If he could, he would have ripped him to shreds but he couldn't do that in front of Rei.

After Rei's battle with Bryan, when he got injured badly, he wanted to visit him but his team wouldn't let him, especially Kai. He knew that he cared for Rei and who knows what could have happened the longer they were together.

Once the tournament was over, he was glad to not have heard that anything has happened between Kai and Rei but soon enough, they gone to another tournament that they happened to win which could have made their bond closer.

But he was happy when Rei came to join back with the White Tigers which changed to White Tiger X and they always worked together through every battle. And he was even more glad that even thought they lost against the Blitzkrieg Boys, they were able to head home so Rei doesn't have to see Kai ever again and he could have a chance at winning him over.

"Well, why should you worry about him, Rei? He may not even love you back. If he did, he could have join our team if he wanted to win but instead he joined with Tala and the Blitzkrieg Boys. The say that if they really love you, they will always stick with you, no matter whether you win or lose." Lee said, moving closer to him. "And I happen to stick with you through every battle of that tournament last month, Rei." Lee said quietly and Rei looked to him which gave him the chance to kiss him.

Rei's eyes widened and he tried to pull away but Lee's grip was strong. 'Why is he doing this? Was he jealous that I loved Kai? He never said anything about it before but I'm not going to let him take advantage of me this way just because I still love Kai and nothing will change that.' Rei said and with all his strength, he pushed Lee off of him and got up.

"Even though you have been my partner throughout that World Tournament Lee, I don't like you that way. A friend, yes. But as a lover, no. My heart belongs to Kai and if he was to break it, I would still love him anyway." Rei said and left to head back to the village.

Lee got up and watched him leave before he growled even louder. 'I will have you Rei and if Kai was to ever come look for you, he will pay.' Lee thought before he too left to head back to the village.

Kai soon fell asleep, still thinking about Rei. Dijah covered him with a blanket one of the stewardesses gave to him and sighed softly. 'I wonder how Rei's doing? Hopefully Lee hasn't tried anything.' Dijah thought. He knew just as well as the others that were on the team that Lee had an infatuation with Rei and would do anything to have him love him back.

But seeing as Rei now likes, scratch that, loves Kai, it would be impossible to even get his mind of him. And if he could learn one thing, Lee will try anything to make Rei his; even if it means killing Kai.

'Hopefully this will all work out soon enough.' Dijah thought before he fell asleep as well.

Rei sat in his room, trying to get the thought that Lee kissed him out of his head. 'I can't believe he was jealous of such a thing. He knew that I loved Kai and even though we left, I would still love him.' Rei thought before lying back in his bed.

'Maybe tomorrow I should go to the training area and train some more so at least I can keep away from Lee.' He thought once more before he fell asleep, unaware of the surprise that would be waiting for him tomorrow.

Kai: Well, we're done with this chapter so please review or else Zypher will be evil to me again.

Zypher: Stop sounding desperate, Kai. You'll be with Rei soon enough.

Kai: I hate waiting.

Zypher: -sigh- You hate just about everything except for Rei.
