This has some yaoi in it, so if you're not into that then simply don't read on.
I don't own beyblade, blah blah.


*******************************************************

Rei sat staring at Kai. Kai was in yet another training battle with Tyson. They were really
going at it, though Kai seemed to have the upper hand.

Rei started at Kai's strong arms. His beautiful crimson eyes.

'If only' He thought 'if only.'

Kai noticed Rei staring at him and a slightly puzzled look came over his face. The moment
of distraction allowed Tyson to gain the upper hand, knocking Kai's blade out of the small
training arena.

Tyson let out an excited yell prompting a death glare from Kai.

'Damn, Ive got to stop staring.' Rei thought to himself.

It was the last battle for the day since it was getting dark so they all headed back the hotel
room for dinner. They decided to order room service.

Rei found himself barely touching his food, spending the time staring at Kai.

He knew he had to do something about the situation soon.

How could he tell Kai he had feelings for him? Kai might hate him forever.

He could simply deny his feelings for Kai, something he wasn't even sure he could do.

He didn't like either option.

'Kai could never love me' he thought to himself 'Im just being silly...and..uhh...' his
thoughts trailed off as Kai and Tyson began yet another argument about Tyson's table
manners. At least he had an excuse for staring at Kai now.

Tyson and Kai exchanged heated words, the fight ending with Kai storming off into the
kitchen and Tyson storming off into his room, slamming the door.

"I better go try to calm him down." Max said and set off after Tyson.

Rei nodded distantly.

"Are you all right Rei?" Kenny asked "You barely touched your food."

"Um, yeah, I'm fine, just not hungry I guess." Rei replied.

Kenny didn't seem convinced but let it drop.

Rei stood up and began cleaning up the plates left by his team-mates. "Need any help?"
Kenny asked. "No, Ive got it" Rei replied.

"OK, well I'll just be in my room working on the blades with Dizzi, probably best to let Kai
cool down." Kenny said, walking off.

Rei had soon stacked the plates. Trying his best not to drop food scraps everywhere, he
picked them up and headed for the kitchen.

As he strode through the kitchen door he ran straight into someone coming the other way.

It was Kai.

With a crash of breaking plates they both fell to the floor.

The plates fell chaotically around them, getting gravy in Kai's hair and potato salad down
Rei's shirt.

Rei thought he was going to die, either from embarrassment or from Kai murdering him.

Kai looked more surprised than anything.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry Kai...I...I'm so clumsy...I wasn't looking where I was going..." Rei
managed to say in a stammering tone.

"Hmph." Kai said, slightly annoyed.

Rei was expecting him to completely lose his temper any second.

"Your bleeding." Kai said simply, nodding towards Rei's hand.

Rei looked down and saw that one of the broken plates had cut his hand.

Tyson, Kenny and Max came rushing into the kitchen.

"What was that noise??" Max said. Stopping when he saw Kai and Rei on the floor, with food
and broken plates around them.

"Rei cut his hand, Ill deal with that, you three clean up this mess." Kai said levelly, getting
up from the floor.

He offered Rei and hand.

Rei pulled himself up, wrapping his cut hand in a near-by tea towel.

They headed to the bathroom where Kai found some anti-septic and a bandage.

"Aren't you mad at me Kai?" Rei asked as Kai fished around for some cotton swabs to apply
the anti-septic with.

"You didn't mean to run into me did you?" Kai said flatly.

"Errr, no." Said Rei.

"Then Ill let it drop this time, besides I think you came out of it worse than I did." Kai said,
slightly amused.

"This might sting." Kai said as he applied the anti-septic.

Rei let out an involuntary hiss as the antiseptic was applied.

He watched Kai clean his hand and marvelled at how gentle, and downright...caring, Kai
could be. His features were a picture of concentration. Rei wished he could be this close to
Kai more often.

"Can I ask you something Kai?" Rei said, feeling bold.

"I guess." Kai replied distractedly.

"What if you like someone, but you're not sure if they like you back. Should you tell them
and risk having your heart broken?"

Kai seemed surprised by the out-of-the-blue question. And thought a moment.

"You should do what you think you have to." He replied. Rei was unable to read his tone.

"Um, thanks." Rei said.

Kai finished cleaning and bandaging Rei's hand and left, leaving a pondering Rei in the
bathroom.

'Well that was odd' Rei thought to himself. 'Now I'm more confused than ever, was he just
being polite because I was hurt? Or was it something more?'

"Hmph" Rei sighed 'I still have no idea what he thinks of me.'

Rei didn't get any sleep that night, his inner-turmoil over Kai only grew.

The next day he got up early and went for a solitary walk to clear his head.

He found a bench in the park opposite the hotel and sat on it, lost in thought.

He had no idea how long he'd been there but it was now mid-morning.

'Ive got to tell him how I feel' Rei thought to himself 'This is just driving me crazy, I have
to tell him, even if he ends up hating me forever, I cant keep going on like this'

Rei stood up, pleased at his newfound resolution.

He figured Kai would be in his hotel room since they were taking a break from training
today.

He slowly made his way back to the hotel feeling excited and apprehensive at the same
time.

He felt like his stomach was full of butterflies.

He got on the elevator trying to think what he would tell Kai. He wasn't sure exactly what
he was going to say, but decided a direct approach was best.

He reached Kai's door.

His heart was racing.

He knocked lightly and opened it.

He stopped dead in the doorway.

There was Kai.

And Tyson.

Kissing.

Kai was on the couch with Tyson next to him.

They were kissing.

Kai had his hand under Tyson's shirt.

He looked up and saw Rei.

Kai's face was one of shock.

Without even thinking Rei turned and ran.

He ran out the hotel and just kept running, wanting to be as far away as possible.

He didn't look back. He could feel hot tears forming.
