What happened to us?

Chapter 2

Hello everyone just so you know I am reposting what Poppy Cotton Hill aka Darkening Dreams has edited for me. Most of you have read this under her pen name. I am now able to put up stories on and have asked her to let me put what we had on my account. I am keeping the first three chapters as is and the rest are going to be my work. I will tell you now I am not the best at this I just want to have fun writing stories for you guys.

Thanks, Golden Lass

Max sighed as he once again launched his blade, practice was just…boring. No one joked around; no one got into any fights, at least with the blade breakers, something interesting had been going on, like Rei trying to trap Kai with silly banter. Kai would play along, but the silly fight had always ended up with Rei losing…. badly not to mention.

But this, Max realized with annoyance, was worse than the silly fighting, and the even worse 'mission's' to save mankind. Standing in the white, sterile room, with the other PPA All Stars battling each other, not even bothering to make the battle challenging at all…only made him a bit…home sick.

HOME SICK!

Max yelled at himself, what the hell was he thinking anyway? He was home, wasn't America home? Max shook his head, the beginnings of a headache coming on as he did. Just then, a light touch brought his attention behind him, his mother, Judy Tate, smiled brightly at him.

"Max, come over here, there is someone that I want you to meet," Judy said happily. She and Max walked out of the training room; no one gave them a second glance as bey battles went on between certain blader's. Max wondered if he was just losing it, or if his Mom was rather…excited about something.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kai let his blade go, it was very aggressive to say the least, figures since he couldn't get his mind on what he was doing, the bright blue eyes, and cutely ruffle blond hair of a certain blader had caught his attention, from the moment he had first met him…. and now Kai was pissed off! Royally so, he was knocked out of the bey bowl, by Spencer no less!

"Kai, what the hell is the matter with you?" Tala asked, glaring at Kai. Kai glared back but did not challenge Tala's authority.

"Hn," Kai gave a snort and picked up his blade; taking a deep breath, and with ease from lots of practice, Kai threw Max out of his head, and launched his blade again.

This time, it took twenty minutes for both blades to fly out of the bowl and land in the outstretched hands of their Master's.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Max smiled brightly up at the elder teen that stood watching him; Max wanted to run, there were strange vibes coming from…. EVERYWHERE!

"Hi there!" Max said and gave a little wave.

"Hi," Rick, as his Mom had introduced both boys, said.

"Umm…so, how good are you anyway?" Max asked.

"Good enough to be here," Rick retorted.

"Can't argue with that logic," Max muttered to himself, but Rick smirked, though, he really hadn't been able to hear what Max had said.

"Let me take you on a tour of the facility's, and then maybe we can train a little together; it was getting boring in there," Max laughed, smile showing in his blue eyes.

"Sure kid," Rick shrugged, like he really didn't care one way or the other what was done. Max smiled and turned to another doorway that leads to a hall.

"Let's start with the dorm than," He smiled, thought, it was a bit forced.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kai hated sleep, in fact, he hated the night as well; Night only meant dark dreams, dreams of the past that he hated to remember at all. He hated to remember the feeling of rough fingers on his skin, first punching the hell out of him before roughly raping him, all the while; the voices that belonged to those hands would coo soft loving words to him.

'Ha! I showed you though? Didn't I Grandfather?' Kai sneered to himself; he shook his head and pulled his thoughts away from his past. It was much better to lose himself in nice thoughts, like the feeling of the sunshine silk running through his hands, of baby blue eyes…and kissing the lovely mouth that belonged to Max.

'Hell! There I go again! When will I ever learn?' Kai asked himself. He shook his head, then turned down the sheets of his bed; he wore lose black silk sleeping pants, but, he had lost the baggy t-shirt just an hour before he had found himself looking over the snow covered city of Moscow; wishing for something that he figured he could never have.
