Shapes: Sorry it took so long guys! Been busy with the other fic that is co- authored by Storm Watcher. That if you don't know is called ' If I Die Before I Wake' and that has a bit of humor in it. But here's Unwanted Emotions, chapter 13? I think sooo..
(yeah same guy!)
I am falling, slamming into the stairs with a force so great that it should have killed me, but by some odd chance it didn't. One last hit and I'm lying on the floor, groaning as pain laces through my lower back.

" ow. owwww. ow!" I shout and hear laughing. Looking up the stairs I see Kai, dangling from a really, really big guy's grip by his throat. Kai is struggling but to no use, he is just too small.

" Now son. I will let you take out your little friend down there, or your 'Grandfather' will die." Kai's mother explains and I shake my head in disbelief. She's going to have Kai, kill me! That bitch! I hear Kai snarl something back, and wince at the yelp of pain that comes from the captured blader.

" Do it now!" She yells and hands Kai a dagger, then the bigger man tosses Kai down the stairs like a rag doll, he lands beside me with a groan, hacking coughs rack his body as he regains the breath he lost.

" Kai.." I hesitantly ask and move closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder. He backs away, holding the dagger.

" Rei, I'm sorry." He whispers and I see him stand up, I shake my head. No Kai wouldn't do that! He can't.

" No Kai, it's me. You said you never kill, why start now?" I ask also getting to my feet, ignoring the pain in my back. Kai stands off to one side, clutching his hand around the dagger hilt, and looking at it. I move closer and watch as Kai raises the blade to his eyes, the dark red eyes. He's lost in his own little world.

" Kai, think of the other's." I say and hear the door open behind me, knowing well that they were standing there, watching everything. He lifts his eyes to them and flinches, the eyes turning back to their normal color.

" Rei." He whispers and I nod, getting the point. I look up the stairs and see Kai's mother, smiling.

" Do it now Kai. Kill him." She orders, and Kai launches into an attack. But he is going the wrong way. Up the stairs he charges yelling the whole way. The woman at the top's eyes widens in shock and I know Kai is smiling at this. He plows into her, shoving her back onto the ground. I race up the stairs and watch as he wrestles the woman, until she stops moving. Kai moves aside, dropping to the floor, revealing a dagger sticking out of the woman's chest, right where her heart would have been, if she had one.

" Kai are you okay?" I ask moving to his side. Kai looks at me and then at the other's. Sorrow, hate, pain and friendship burn in his crimson orbs, but they are focused on one thing, the dagger. I know what he is going to do.

" Kai no!" I lunge for the blade. Too late, he has it in his hands and raises it above his head.

" I'm sorry, but I can't live like this any longer. If I am alive they will come back and I refuse to allow you to be harmed. You are my friends and I will always be there for you. Never forget the training I gave you. Make it to the championships. I will be watching." He tells us, his face contorted in a brave look that will forever be etched into my head. With those words he plunges the dagger into his heart and falls to the floor, his eyes closed. I cry out as he falls and the others race to his side.

" No, Kai. No." I cry and beat on his shoulder. The blader doesn't respond. He will never roll his eyes at Tyson, wince at the hyperactive Max, or even shake his head in wonder at Kenny. He will no longer be the cold leader of the Bladebreakers. He will only be Kai Hiwatari, the one who over came his past and ended the cult known as the Guttersnipe. And he will also be honored as my friend. Tears stream down my face as Tyson, Max, and Kenny lead me away from the body of my good friend. I take one last look before walking from the room and see a glistening light near his closed eye. A single tear slips from his closed eye. A single tear.
(Two weeks later)

I stand beside the grave of Kai Hiwatari and place three roses on the black headstone. A yellow for friendship. Blue for sadness. And Black for mourning. The three roses that represent what I feel for my departed friend.

" Kai, just wanted to let you know we are heading off to the Championships in Ireland. Tyson is still trying to figure out how to launch with the launcher you gave him from you will. Kenny is enjoying the simulator software and Max is ecstatic about the new rings and basses you gave him. You grandfather allows us to practice in the blading room, and we are doing well." I smile at the idiocy, I am talking to a grave stone.

" I really miss you and so do the guys, it's not the same without the orders or early morning wake-up calls. Guess we are still getting over the hump of you being gone. We miss you and wish us luck at the Championships. Also Lei, Gary, Mariah, Kevin, Michael, Emily, Judy and the other teams you know miss you and told me to say hello." I get to my feet and move away, a slight breeze ruffling the longer bandanna tie around my head. The bandanna itself was a 132 (1) Red with a blue and white ying-yang in the center. The long ends hang from the back like Kai's scarf did, trailing behind me. I take comfort in knowing he is not to far away. Knowing he is around is putting my mind at ease, Kai will protect us from anything. He's Kai, no matter where he is.

(MY POV)

Kai is lounging out on the beach, watching the waves roll across the sands. His face is raised to the sun, soaking the warmth, and for once not having the aching deep in his heart. Smiling he looks over at the projector screen and lets out a hardy laugh at the picture on the screen.

" Tyson you Baka. Always was good for a laugh. Max, way to hyperactive to be anything but a Beyblader and Kenny, hopefully he will find a way to get Dizzi from that computer. Rei, hmmm Rei." He stops to ponder his old friends qualities and then comes up with one.

" Rei, who is too curious for his own good and if he is not careful will end up here with me." He laughs as he watches his old team, the ones he made champions win the Ireland tournament. Soon they will be joining him, but they have a long way to go, at least Kai will have some comic relief while he is waiting.

Shapes: sorry I killed him! And I know it was a short and sappy chapter. I'm sorry. Gomen Nasi ::Bows:: I am sorry. Don't hate me!

Kai: Lord knows I sure do!

Shapes: I didn't want to, but I needed to!

Kai: O'Kudasi shapes.
