Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Beyblade.

Kai: It's about time you updated this story. What do you have to say for your self?

BWT: (sweat drop) I'm sorry it took me so long to update this story, but life caught up with me and those damn plot bunnies just wouldn't leave me alone.

Kai: well since you're finally updating, let's just start this story.

BWT: Good idea! So enjoy!

"Kai, I've been looking for you."

"Miguel?"

Kai looked, shocked at the blonde behind him. When had he gotten here? Damn, he knew he liked the blonde, a lot, but he was not ready to admit that to anyone yet.

"What are you doing here Miguel?" asked Kai trying to be as casual as possible.

"I just wanted to see you." Kai fought the urge to blush. "You've been so distant lately and I just wanted to make sure everything was ok." The blonde explained walking closer to the smaller male.

Miguel gazed deeply at Kai. He really liked the younger male, more than he probably should. It took him a while to admit it to himself but he did and when he started really getting to know Kai, Miguel knew that he couldn't have picked a better person to like.

He and Kai had hung out a lot after BEGA, but a couple of weeks ago, Kai started becoming distant, and the blonde had thought that he had done something to the phoenix. If he did, then he'll apologize because the last thing he wants is the phoenix to become quiet and guarded around him.

"Everything's fine." Kai answered, trying to move away without Miguel noticing.

"Then why have you been avoiding me?" Kai cringed in guilt when he heard the sadness in the blonde's voice.

"What? I haven't been-" but Kai was cut off when Miguel pinned him to the railing and took hold of Kai's chin.

"Don't lie to me Kai." Whispered Miguel. "Have I done something to hurt you? Is that why?" he asked desperately.

Kai shook his head. "N-no of course not."

"Do you just hate me then?" Miguel asked gently looking away.

Again Kai shook his head. "I could never hate you."

"Then why have you been avoiding me?" he demanded, for once raising his voice to the phoenix, startling him.

Kai blushed. "I-I just..."

"Kai? Where are you Kai?" they both jumped at hearing Tala's voice drifting up from behind the door to the roof. (A/N: Wow... Tala has a loud voice...)

"Oh, Tala's calling me." Kai said quickly as he slipped out of Miguel's hold and ran to the door. "I should go see what he wants." And then he was gone.

Miguel sighed. 'Kai, what's going on?'

Kai let out a breath of air when he finally escaped Miguel and went to on his way to find Tala who managed to unknowingly save him from making a huge mistake and loosing Miguel's friendship forever.

'God damnit.' He thought, mentally cursing his feelings. 'What do I do now?'

TBC...

Um, ok this obviously isn't going to be a two-shot anymore and I have no idea how many chapters this story will end up with so you're just going to have to bear with me here.

And again, please forgive me for taking so long to update.

Let me know what you think!
