AD: Ok, well my muses have returned, and I'm pleased to add that I now have a couple of new muses.

Irvine: How the hell did I become one of your damn muses?

Raven: And what made you think that any of us would want to be one of you're muses?

Heero: *Ignoring conversation*

Kai: *grunts*

AD: Sigh, just say the damn disclaimer.

Irvine: Maybe later!

AD: Fine! I'll say it, I do not own Beyblades, but I do own Serena, and this story, oh, and I own Ravie-chan, Heero-chan, Kai-chan and Irvine too! *sigh* I wish at least... *thinking* maybe one of these days I should get a real muse...

Irvine: And I'm sure we'd all be shocked and horrified too.

AD: Hey!

Raven: Here, we'll let you read the story if you want. And this is her first Beyblade fic. yadi yadi yada.

Chapter One : Hidden Emotions

The sky darkened rapidly, wrapping the lone figure in shadows.

An air of mystery hung around him, making him seem dark, cold and invulnerable.

Uncrossing his arms he pushed himself away from the tree that he had leant against, stalking off to merge with the shadows.

The Leader of the Blade Breakers stopped to watch a couple of kids beyblading, walking past he listened distantly to their murmurs of recognition.

The moonlight glinted off of his skin, giving him an almost godly look. The moonlight absorbing into his hair, making it shine with a silver tinge. His eyes betrayed nothing of his feelings, they remained cold, arcane.

Kai wallowed in the nothingness of the night, the emptiness of the shadows.

There was nothing that he wanted, nothing he needed. His training had made him merciless, and intelligent, his tutors had supplied everything that he needed.

He had been raised by nannies and tutors, never knowing the love of either his parents or his grandfather. He had never even known his parents, they had preferred to distance themselves from him, focusing their attention on their own pleasures.

So why should a weakness such as love come into his life now?

His thoughts turned towards the source of his weakness.

Distancing himself from her as much as possible when they were training together. He now wondered at the foolishness they had shown in agreeing to work together with the Silver Bladers team, to gain knowledge from each other.

The leader continued on, approaching the hotel. He passed through the courtyard silently, with cat like grace. Walking past the main desk he continued on to the elevators, hitting the floor number and waiting. He leant against the rail, his arms crossed, ignoring the stares of the two others in the elevator. Stepping from it he continued down the silent hallways to his room.

Turning his key in the lock he opened the door, flicking his wrist to shut it, a soft bang sounded as it hit the frame and continued into the main room. Snoring came from on of the rooms in the hallway to the right and he narrowed his eyes.

Turning his gaze to the only room with a light still on he entered it, observing the two single beds, one of them occupied by his sleeping tormentor.

Her bedside light was still on, and on her chest lay a discarded book, open on a page.

Her turned to leave when he heard her call tentatively.

"Kai?" the word was more a question than it was a statement, indicating that she was still half asleep.

He turned to face her, arms crossing, his forehead creased into a frown. She was rubbing the sleep from her eyes, like a child awakening to the warmth of morning.

"There's only one room left, we were going to ask if you'd mind sharing...but nobody could find you." she explained, watching his face for any sign of the emotion he refused to show.

Sighing when she found his usual blank composure she said reasonably, "There's nothing we can do about it now, and it's too late to wake the others, they need their sleep if they're to meet your training standards tomorrow." continuing when he didn't reply she added, "And anyway, if you have have a problem with it we can just sort it out in the morning, it's not like it'll kill you to spend one night in the same room as someone else."

The leader replied with only a frustrated sigh as he grabbed some things from his bag and stalked into the bathroom, closing the door firmly behind him.

When he returned he was wearing a t-shirt and loose pants. Throwing the folded clothes he had worn that day on the top of his bag he walked to the bed, getting in.

"Where were you?" Serena asked turning the light off.

His only reply was a light growl which sent shivers down her spine, he turned so that his back was towards her.

"Out." came the answer when he finally replied.

"Out where?" she persisted.

The leader ignored the question, shuffling his body closer to the wall and away from her. He could smell the sweet scent of her hair, hear her soft breathing.

It'll fade. Kai promised himself, Love is weak.

AD: Well, that's it, review if you want, review if you don't bye!

Heero: Did that make one ounce of sense?

AD: SHUT...UP
