SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1I don't own Beyblade or any of the characters, so please don't sue me.
Kai/Rei slash, slight hints of Rei/Mariah...y'know, you've read the first chapter, you know the plot.
To Galux Kitty…I'm sorry you don't like Kai/Rei, but the pairings are in the summary, so you didn't have to read this if you didn't like it…
And where/when does it say that they're related? I've seen a lot of fics with Li/Mariah, so I'm just going to say that in this fic they aren't related.
I'd like to say thanks to all of my reviewers, your comments have been great and I really enjoy the input. Keep reviewing, please!
Chapter Two
Rei,
Sorry it took so long for me to respond, you can understand why. I've gotta say, you sure know how to shock people.
I could've loved you too, you know. I've had a crush on you for the longest time. If you had come back it probably would've turned into love soon enough, but we'll never know now, will we?
I was hurt when I read your letter, but I'm pretty much over it now–well, it's been a month, so it's been a long time coming, right? I can accept the fact that we'll never be together and that you love someone else.
The only question I have for you is: why him? He's so cold, Rei, and completely stoic. He doesn't show any emotions at all, how do you know his love is true? You know as well as I do that you could pretty much have anyone you want if you worked for them. So why him? I don't like Kai at all, to be honest, and I don't like him for you. I know it's none of my business, but it's the truth.
I suppose my dislike of him stems from the fact that you and the others hold so much respect for him, and I don't know why. He can be very mean to your team sometimes. Didn't you tell me once that he was willing to turn Kenny over to the Dark Bladers? If you could explain any of it to me, I'd gladly reconsider my opinion, but as of now I pretty much think you're insane. I'm sorry, I just have to speak my mind.
As for Li, I didn't even know he noticed me. Were you serious? I mean, I've seen him looking at me once in awhile, but it doesn't mean he likes me, does it?
We'll always be friends Rei, I know that and I'm glad I can get that much from you. Don't be a stranger, I gave Li your address so you guys could write too.
Mariah
Mariah walked down to the village post and sent her letter, then went back to her room to think. Li is pretty cute...and he's a nice guy. It wouldn't be so bad if he liked me. She blushed slightly, looking at the sky. I wish you luck with your love life, Rei...now it's time to work on my own.
So, was it good? Bad? Okay? Let me know! There's probably going to be another 3 or 4 chapters after this, so let me know if you have ideas, or questions or anything!
