Disclaimer: oro I seem to have lost my favorite story that I created! in the background Takao Aoki sniggering and soon talks Yes with this girl's Beyblade thingy I will make money! Pots of it! I'll be making the leprechauns deals! - waking up from a coma Wh-what oh no I'm in the real world again where I don't own Beyblade looks at the nurse who is shocked Could you please hit me with an anvil?

Author's Note: Thank-you all who reviewed – Oh to clear a confusion Hilary didn't sleep with her principal. It was a sarcastic, cruel in which Brooklyn made the girl Kristen recall her own actions. Well the last chapter was explanatory to some of the things of Kai and Tala including Brooklyn I hope. Their characteristics are established – Tala and Kai have a brotherhood they aren't really rivals. Tala feels for Kai and visa versa though Tala is more sentimental when he exhibits his feelings in the other hand Kai is very stoic and feels very unable to do sentimental actions at the moment. Brooklyn is basically the person Kai must deal with but Kai doesn't consider him that much of a rival at all though Brooklyn admires and hates Kai at the same time. Kai and Hilary haven't met yet, yes, that is disappointing but please waits.

Fic Oh Fic Where art thou? ok enough joking

Tell Me Maybe I can Forget
IV
Withdrawn and Drawn

Maybe I shouldn't go to school today. I wasn't really feeling like to. My bones were aching due to maybe my excessive strokes at yesterday's kendo practice. Grandpa told me not to swing that hard. I should have listened to my teacher. If I were younger I would have laughed at that remark. Anyways there is always a duel reason if I can remember – yup, it was that reason. Should I go or stay? That was a difficult question – I think I should go today. Have this physics class today about some stuff that I really don't know and I think it would be unwise not to attend. Surely, I accidentally throw my pillow on the floor. Was it careless or frustration to go? I think about it and chose the former, the latter seemed unreasonable. I was busying myself with freshening up when I realized that I was going to be a bit late. It really didn't matter; guess I had a very personal reason for being late. I was hungry. Yeah, couldn't properly eat my dinner last night. The thought of that something kept me too occupied to enjoy Grandpa's mixed ingredient stew. There could be leftovers and I might have them for breakfast. Yum – really.

I, Kai Hiwatari, looking so eager about food; Tyson would be prepared to suffocate himself. That reason I contemplated was Serena who sometimes bothered me.

Intellectually Serena was spotless as her grades were truly impressive but sometimes Serena's flirtatious attitude got me worried. I hope she didn't expect me to woo her. That would be my perfection because she was an excellent friend who I wanted as my friend. Perfection, did I have any? Will Serena succeed in tempting me a life with her? Sometimes I get bored and annoyed that my heart needed love. Well I guess everyone needs it in their own fashion. I was being spoiled by the view that how teenagers needed to be engaged with someone. The thought in actuality made me sick. Because of these weird suggestions a certain few get to be outcasts. Whoever gave stereotypical a throne must be assassinated.

I just want to see what she talks of today: hopefully not her old boyfriend that she really liked and finally gave her virginity too. He seemed to be virgin also so I guess it was quid pro quo. Yet she seemed so eager and extremely happy about it honestly it seemed more like a one-sided affair. I mean the boy may not be a jerk and does still cherish her but at least I believe he respects the intimacy of privacy. I loathe saying it but Serena shouldn't really indulge in this information so much. I appreciate her honesty but it is mentioned so constantly that it really gives me discomfort. I sometimes feel that she must be hurt because evidently it is now her ex-boyfriend. Such sadness: the way she talks about it I don't think it turned out that well in the end…

Sympathy is there – though it can't be pity. Pity is done mostly in the negative way; to the person who has become disgraced. But Pity isn't always that. I realized Serena wasn't always so eager. She might be trying to escape something too.

Sometimes I question if that's the reason she was my friend? Could be, could be not? A situation Hamlet would say "To Be or not to be…"

Well it's time to get breakfast. I snigger with a comic dastardly face. The leftovers are mine Tyson.

' So is your older brother going to university today…I told him I'll give him more details on Dragoon…I hope he went today. I thought he was going to come yesterday but Tyson seemed to forget that I was going to be around…' the hyper sort of voice belonged to an older acquaintance. His extremely shady glasses reminded me of Rikku's goggles from Final Fantasy –X.

' I s'ppose Kenny but…I wouldn't count on it.' I told the nineteen year old who I was a few inches taller than, ' Because he's been slagging sometime.'

' NO!' The young brunette seemed paralyzed by the terror of not meeting Tyson Kinomiya. Several other fifteen year olds were staring at his behavior. He was in my physics class after all. Even Serena looked piqued with interest.

' Chill man. ' I try to calm Kenny, though the poor fellow looked disappointed beyond repair, ' I think you should go over there. The university isn't so far away.'

' Ok, Ok…' Kenny calmed down and before I, or any one else knew it, he just galloped away like a wild horse. I knew the wild one's destination though.

' He's pretty unique isn't?' Serena has come over. Her shoulders on my desk; her eyes on Kenny and her voice sweetened by automatic observation and admiration; I can never dissuade the fact that she is beautiful.

' Yeah he is.' I smile at her. She is gracious in smiling seductive-like. I think her charm can be liked at times.

Then I see him.

Tala Ivanov

' I'm coming back Serena.' I get up and started running.

' Sure.' I hear her bemused voice

' So did you tell him Kai?' it was a demand. Tala seldom demanded in a very furious way. He mostly requested. It is his genius that astounds many – even me. I know Tala Ivanov and he mostly knows me – I'm proud of her subtle friendship.

' Tala, how can you tell Tyson so much about me?' my demand: I think he knows, my eyes are narrowed.

' That's not the point!' it's his outlook. He was frustrated. I really can't concern now.

' Yes it is!" I urged on my intentions, ' How can let Tyson get the fact that we know each other! That's a point Tala! I thought I told you that we must maintain our separate ways!'

Tala gave a look that showed meager interest, ' Well, its not my fault if your brother Tyson Kinomiya is World Champion. Thus a potential candidate for me to fight it, you know we will definitely crossed paths.'

' That's a lie.' My teeth are somewhat gritting, ' You can't be so assured of that Tala. You confronted Tyson to know how I was doing.'

Tala stared.

So did I.

Can I win this competition?

Or will be drawn towards this other man?

I admire him so much that I can't see him losing; that hurts me…but…

' Kai, I worry about you…' Tala's confession gives me the victory.

' Worry, about what Tala?' I wasn't emotionless but I cared that he worried. Though I know I'm alone in my fight to keep myself from seeing something useful.

' Don't fake healthiness Kai!' Tala was angered now, ' You look so distant nowadays I worry so much for you! I don't know where you're going! But…I don't want you to be alone…you are special to me. You said we were like brothers – I still believe in that.'

' Tala – I ' I was really unearthed from emotionless. Tala promised to look after me…but…I have to tell him that he can't help me…is that disastrous… ' Tala go away! I don't think you'll understand!' …yes…

I draw my beyblade

' Fight me Ivanov!' I cry out with such formal rudeness that I know I have hurt him, ' I challenge you to a duel.'

He looks disdained – in his own way – he turns to ice – slipping away from feeling: a mechanical piece of ice. The one I call Cyber-Tala.

Tala readies himself.

I do too.

This will be a good battle.

Soon he launches, ' Let it Release!'

Release?

The beyblade goes right out the building to the grounds below. We were in a renovating classroom.

' I'll have to go…' Tala drowns his voice in a mechanical sea, ' My beyblade is out in the grounds…'

' Tala!' I shout as he seems to be leaving, ' What is this! You are insulting me by not accepting my challenge!' I was more than disappointed. Why wouldn't he fight me? It was unnatural. Actually it was natural.

' Well so did you.' He seemed to want to escape. Escape from me

I hurt my best friend Tala Ivanov.

' Kai! Buddy! Go to the grocer! I need you to buy some things!' Grandpa was telling me. Was I listening? I guess though I think I feel asleep as I came home. Serena was worried about me. When I said it was a "beybattle gone wrong" she understood. Well partially…

' Sure Grandpa.' I bid well-off to my grandfather Akira Kinomiya as I step out. It's funny I love him and listen to him. I never could listen to or love Boris or Voltaire. My teachers: or monster-makers: both I suppose in the demented ways of parallelism.

I guess I can feel the pain of living in yesterday and today at the same time. It feels unbelievably wretched if your memories are not euphoric. I was tired today. I wanted to apologize to Tale but…he seemed to be off to challenge Tyson. He was in the cafeteria having lunch with a friend. I was going to approach him then…well, Tyson caught his attention then – poor brother, Tyson must have come by the request of Kenny. He wasn't expected a redheaded opponent to be so nearby.

Tala made a dash leaving his friend behind flabbergasted.

Friend

What was it like? To have a true friend…you can be uncensored with?

I have a beautiful friend in Serena, Tala and Tyson – but I cannot be naked in front of them. It feels like pornography – why does it? Am I scarred that badly?

I am scared.

I don't wanna be – but it comes naturally – but I have expertise in putting it aside – like a worn out doll.

I have done it so many times

Done it when my biological grandfather was rough on me with his insults on my mother; Matoko Kyosato.

Done it when Boris told me I was the perfection which could seize the powerful darkness of that trash Black Dranzer.

Done it when that gunshot was meant for me

Done it when I told Tala we must go our separate ways

Done that again today…

History can repeat itself when one allows it too.

' That'll be…' the cashier gives me my vegetables and spaghetti cans which I have bought.

I hear someone behind me very feminine saying (I presume the person a girl), ' So are you going to come back?'

At first I thought she was talking to someone on a cellphone because we were the only ones in the store. Then I slightly see her reflection. I was bemused and hypnotized.

She was talking…to a pencil…

Uh…that was amusing and…strangely cute…the pencil too…

That's when I heard someone call me.

We both turn.

I look outside the store.

Yet her eyes – they were looking at me…I feel it…Why? Why do you stare like you know me?
