Dislcaimer: I don't own Beyblade or any of its characters.

And real quick before I start, if you were wonderin' what was up with that Rat thing, it's cuz I didn't realize that the summery had cut me off. This what I had intended to include:

Rating may change if you the viewers think that it's a little harsh for this fic.

But thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

Here's to Remembering

Ch2. I don't Know where I am but I'm Not Lost

Kai groaned and push himself to his knees, gingerly rubbing his throbbing head.

"Where am I?" He grumbled, looking around at the unfamiliar woods around him. "Wait. Who am I suppose to be?" Kai gasped as nothing but blank thoughts floated through his mind.

He looked around frantically but some inner source told him to calm down. He drew in a deep breath and began to walk in the direction he was facing to begin with.

"I was going this way from reason, so I'll just keep going." Kai planned as he shuffled through the blank memories that undoubtedly held the secret of his being.

Kai's senses tensed for some unforeseen reason as he proceeded further down the over grown trail. The dark shadow had the feeling of an unknown presence lurk within it. Kai scanned the forest, thankful that his eyes were sharp and his hearing acute.

There was loud rustling of leaves as he rounded a corner that swerved around the thick bushes and shrubbery that lined the trail.

The bushes settled then a large but not overly so figure peeked out from the bushes. Kai was momentarily caught off guard before his mind screamed at him to attack what ever it was that lurking inside those bushes.

Kai let his instincts take over and he dove in to the bushes, colliding with a soft body and pinned it to the ground.

"Kai!" The person shouted, struggling to break free from Kai's iron grip.

Kai released the young man's wrists and stood up, backing away to get a better look at the raven-haired teen he had just clobbered.

The other teen was wearing white oriental shirt with baggy black pants and his raven hair was tied back and wrapped, running all the way to his ankles.

"It's been a while, huh, Kai?" The young man said, quickly dismissing their little tussle, and brushed the dirt from his pants. "Did you just get back from Russia?" He inquired, smiling warming, as if they were close friends.

Kai's face remained blank as he tried to dig up any answer for this teen, but to no avail, they refused to show themselves. He then realized that his gaze had drifted to a tree and turned back to the raven-haired teen. He was looking expectantly at Kai. Kai frowned and shrugged, tilting his head from side to side as his vague answer. The other boy laughed hardily and lightly punched Kai in the shoulder.

"Should have known." He laughed and waved for Kai to follow. "I was kindda surprised to find you wandering around here. Not many people come back this way." The teen commented as he glanced over shoulder at the silent teen that had just tackled him.

"I don't." Kai said harshly as the thought to respond in that way popped in his head. Kai growled inwardly as he watch the helpful teen jump in shock.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that." The other teen said sincerely but a hint of annoyance touched at his tone.

Suddenly Kai shook his head and took the raven-haired teen's shoulder.

"Who are you?" Kai blurted out, frustrated that his memories failed to produce the information he needed.

The teen staggered in confusion and stared disbelievingly at Kai, half expecting Kai to burst out laughing at his reaction. He tilted his head, cautiously stepping forward to examine him for any proof that he was joking around.

"Are you playing some sort of game?" The young man asked circling Kai.

Kai folded his arms across his chest and glared at the comment.

"I'm Ray, Ray Kon. We were team mates, on the team the Blade Breakers." The raven-haired teen said still unwilling to believe that Kai had lost his memory of him.

"Ray?" Kai said but nothing came back and looked back to Ray, hoping he'd say something else that might trigger a memory.

"C'mon, Kai, I'll bet your memories will come back but for now you should probably get some rest. You look like you've been sleeping in a graveyard instead of a forest." He said rubbing his nose as Kai's stench wafted over to him.

Kai growled, knowing that, that was meant purposely to make Ray's house more appealing. Ray gestured for Kai to proceed and wasn't going to start walking until he was walking.

Kai studied Ray's expression, trying to spot any sign of a lie, that he was sent because he had no memories and he'd be easy to manipulate, but Ray's concern and patient didn't waver since they when they first meet. Kai sighed and continued down the trail, following Ray and surveying the surroundings. He looked for a symbol, a mark, even a odd growth or formation that would knock loose a memory. He frowned, as every thing looked the same, with nothing special about it.

He was about to give up and stick to figuring out the mysterious Ray when a glimmer that cut through the thinning trees caught his attention. It flickered flirtatiously, coaxing him to it.

Kai glanced at Ray's back, his mind was elsewhere and it would give him a chance to explore this welcoming presence. He bit his lip, hesitant about ditching the only person that around that could lead him safely out of this forest yet the shimmering item was too tantalizing to deny. He shrugged and drifted off the path, determined to locate the 'shiny thing'. (A/N: Men and there shiny objects, no offence guys but you can't deny that shiny thing don't distract you.)

Kai parted an extremely noisy bush and glanced over his shoulder at Ray, he still was lost in his own thoughts, so Kai pressed on. He did his best slide around the groping branches and the grasp of the thorny plants that tried to keep him from the shiny thing. Eventually wrestling his way through the dense forestation he arrived at a sparkling, deep blue lake.

I reflected the perfect orange purple sunset on it's almost completely unbroken surface. It was light cerulean near the edges with a deep midnight blue center.

Kai briskly walked down the emerald green slopes that winded artistically to the focal point of the whole and tranquil field he had just entered.

Kai kneeled at the banks, leaning over the serene lake that had beckoned him here. He gasped at his reflection; it was such a ghostly figure that was staring back.

His wild hair stood out all directions and light shade of slate gray with stands of blue shooting off from the nape of his neck. He rang his fingers through his hair, playing with it as it jumped back into place after his fingers left it. Then he directed his attention to the four blue triangles on his checks. He traced the edges of the shark strips, then following his jaw line to his chin. All of these were astonishing and very outspoken features but the most astounding feature were the piecing crimson red eyes that would render any feeble minded fool that opposed him.

As he tried to absorb all of his unusual characteristics when a blurry white figure washed over the glassy surface.

"You like the view?" Ray asked kneeling down beside Kai. "My house is just up that hill. Let's keep going, we can come back later." Ray said directing Kai's attention to little red and black shrine a top of the flowing hills and perched between blooming suzuka trees and towering hills that was covered in the same pure, green field that swept across the entire meadow.

Ray placed a heavy hand on Kai's shoulder that tore him from the pristine sight. Ray smiled genuinely and nodded for Kai to get moving. Kai looked back at the reflection one last time and let Ray pull him to the dainty Shinto shrine.

"Why am I here?" Kai murmured under his breath, and inhaled all of the scenery he could muster and exhaled, sighing at his circumstance.

"Don't worry Kai, I'll help you recover your memories." Ray said giving him a guarded but earnest hug.

Kai was shocked but nodded, this Ray guy, was definitely trustworthy, and is and will always be his friend.

Isn't this so precious! But it's not Yaoi, they're just friends. If you guys spot an error, please tell me, I don't always go over these like I should.
