Disclaimer: (SLC) Ok, While I try with every ounce of my body to finish
this story before Monday, Whatever is left of it is going toward Archery
and Shinto practice. And the tiny shreds that follow afterward are loathing
Meru.
But on a happier note,
This story gets better!
^-^
I'm not sure if this is the last chapter or not,
If it is, there's going to be an epilogue after this.
So no worries!
Oh yeah. And just to speed things up a bit, especially at the end, '=' means scene (setting) change.

*~'~'~'~'5th of November'~'~'~'~*
"Kai? Kai! Wake up!" Rei said as he shook his roommate to try and wake him up. "KAI!"
Kai jumped out of his futon at the last shout of his name. "What?" He said yawning.
Rei rolled his eyes. "Today's the big day!"
Kai looked puzzled.
"The day of the Beyblading tournament stupid!" Rei said with a smile on his face.
Kai froze.
The day he had been dreading.
The day that would change his life.
Rei got up slowly and walked over to the threshold. "I'll let you get dressed and then we need to get going!"
Kai hadn't yet told Rei about the thing with Key. When he asked about the phone call, Kai said it was a false alarm. That nothing was wrong.
But in reality,
That was the EXACT opposite of what was going on.
Things were terrible.
Kai got up and walked over to his stack of clothes that he didn't put in his dresser. He reached down and found a BBA T-shirt and jeans. He took off his shirt and shorts that he usually slept in and put on his clothes.
He walked out the door and down the hallway of the dojo to the bathroom. He closed the door and turned on the water faucet. He tested the water to make sure it was cold and splashed his face so he would wake up a bit.
'What am I going to do?' He thought.
'I can't go through with this. If I go to the tournament, my team will be fine but then I'll miss the meeting and no one will sign the document and Key will have to go back home.'
He grabbed a towel and wiped his face.
'But on the other hand, if I go to the signing, Key won't have to leave! But then, I'll need to tell Tyson about us, and I'll be letting my whole team down.'
He began to run down the hall.
'What in Gods name am I going to do!?'
Suddenly, as he turned the corner, he bumped into Rei; literally.
"Woah!" Rei said as he fell back ward. "Sorry! I didn't mean t-"
He stared directly at Kai.
"Yo, dude, what's wrong?" Rei said still sitting on the floor.
Kai was now facing the ceiling as he lay on his back.
Kai sighed and rose to face Rei. He positioned himself in a sitting manner and then looked around so no one would hear or see them talking.
Kai breathed in deep,
And spilled.

'Gate 18 B now positioning Team Blade Breakers and Team Kitsune in the final match between Kai Hiwatari and Ayumi Koto.'
Tyson, Max, Kenny, Rei and Kai stood there reading the monitor in the locker room.
"Alright! That's us!" Tyson shouted. "Let's go, team!"
They all slowly walked out of the room one by one.
Kenny first,
Then Kai,
Then Max,
But just as Tyson was about to step outside of the locker room, Rei put his arm across the threshold making Tyson unable to leave the room. Tyson looked shocked.
"Yo, what's wrong dude?"
Rei didn't say anything. He just stood there with his eyes closed.
Tyson began to speak again. "Hey! Let me through!"
"No." Rei said quietly as his arm removed and he moved in front of the door himself.
"No?!" Tyson said stepping one foot back. "What do you mean, 'no'?"
"I mean, I'm not letting you through this door until we talk."
Tyson was frustrated but knew better than to fight with Rei. "Talk about what?"
Rei paused as both he and Tyson sat down.
"Kai."
* * *
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
The clock kept ticking as the hour hand struck 4:00 pm.
The government official rose from his seat behind a desk and began to speak to a frightened Key who sat in front of him.
"I'm sorry Miss, um," He walked over to his desk to grab a slip of paper. "Miss, uh, Ki-ki-ra-ki?"
"Y-yes. That's right." She sat straight up. The room was small. It had a desk, a metal filing cabinet, two chairs, one behind the desk and one in front, a small light that hung from the ceiling, and a garbage can that was over flowing with crunched up papers in the corner of the room.
The man spoke again, "I'm sorry, but if you future guardian does not show up within exactly fifteen minutes, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to send you back. Do you understand?"
Key gulped. "Yes."
She put her head down as the man walked out of the room.
'Where are you Kai?'

LET IT RIP!!!"
The announcers' voice echoed through the stadium as the beyblades went flying into the dish.
Kai's blue Dranzer stayed spinning in the middle of the bowl as Ayumi's light green one of the opponent came flying toward him.
He dodged.
At that moment, Rei walked in the gate.
Max turned around and saw him standing there.
"Rei! Where have you been?"
"I was talking with Tyson."
"About what?" Max said as both of them kept their eyes on the match.
"Oh you know. The usual. Tips and stuff."
"Oh." Max looked around. "So where is he?"
Rei paused for a moment then turned to Max and smiled.
"He's taking a bathroom break."
They both stared at the bowl as Kenny furiously typed on his laptop.
Dranzer wasn't doing so well.
Kai tried with all of his might to concentrate but his head wasn't in the game. ((AN: Bet ya don't know what he's thinking about!))
His Dranzer was still in the middle of the bowl. He couldn't move it.
He tried to call his bit beast out.
It didn't come.
"Come on, Kai!" Max shouted as Rei shouted with him.
"Concentrate! C'mon!"
"I'm trying!" Kai shouted back.
=
The clock hit 4:14:06.
'C'mon Kai.' Key thought.
'C'mon.'

Ayumi chuckled. "It's over now Kai. GO FOXELOR!"
Her Beyblade went flying toward Kai's Dranzer.
It had no where to go.
=
4:14:39
'C'mon! HURRY!'
=
'I can't give up!" Kai thought.
=
4:14:57
'I don't want to go back home! I want to stay with you Kai!'
=
'I can't. I CAN'T!'
=
4:14:58
Key rose from her chair causing it to topple over. "C'MON!!" She shouted.
=
"I CAN'T!!!"

4:14:59
"KAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!"
=
"KEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!"
