Okay, here we go, I'm sorry my updates haven't been as often as I usually make them, I will try harder, but please don't give up on me, okay, look I do get it done eventually. Alright, thank you for al the reviews, they mean so much to me. Enjoy

Here I Am – it's just you and me, and tonight we'll make our dreams come true

The snow had started to fall once more over Russia, covering the old snow with a fresh new coat. It was very light this time, as if floating to the ground like feathers that have fallen from the wings of a bird after having performed their purpose. Not like before, when the snow has like an angry storm wanting to destroy all that came in its way… like it had taken Kai.

Golden eyes stared out into the snow watching it fall to the ground below, and yet not staring at anything at all. Those golden orbs no longer held their shine and beauty; they were dull and lifeless. Black hair lay held back in a simple ribbon, falling over its masters sculptured form; he was too tired to wrap it up and to pissed off with it to leave it loose.

Rei had spent all his time searching around the village for any signs of Kai, but all he got was some children remember him being at the park with Tala and then leaving… anything past that was unknown to the exhausted tiger. Even the police were no use, they were just like any other country's police force, lazy idiots that do nothing and yet still say they're pushed to hard and need a raise.

Each night Rei had lay alone in his double bed staring at the spot where the lean form of his love should be. He would run his hand over the mattresses, imaging stroking the chest that would entertain him for hours and the hair that he would lose himself in. His golden eyes would wander up to the bathroom door and his heart would yearn for his phoenix to appear through that door and lay in the bed and everything would be fine once more.

As Rei stood from the window seat and collapsed on his bed he remembered the first time he ever met Kai. It was at the Japanese Tournament; Rei had been fighting Tyson to try and make it to the finals, but he had been too cocky, thinking that he could beat this new comer with ease and so had let his eyes wander to the crowd, and there he had been. Mahogany depths were staring into his soul while his lean physique was sitting tall, showing off every curve that was wrapped in the material of his outfit.

Rei could remember hating Kai's trousers, they never did show off any of his legs or more importantly, his butt. The next time they met was when the team was introduced and Rei had only been a few feet from his new found crush. Kai's stare was stern, revealing nothing about himself, but it never scared Rei away, he had never been intimidated by that stare and Kai had actually questioned him about that, which ended in Kai giving him one of his glorious smirks.

That smirk… Rei had always loved that smirk, so different to the rigid form Kai showed people, but in a way Rei also hated it, because it was all Kai used, never had a proper smile fallen cross his perfect features… and that's when Rei's task began, to make Kai smile a proper smile. Of course Rei didn't believe that through this one simple task he would fall more deeply for the cold phoenix.

It was after Kai returned back from betraying them that their relationship really started to come together. Kai had admitted to Rei, though he was a bit drunk, that he had missed him the most and that he had wanted to see him all the time… The it happened, their first kiss, sure they had been drunk but it was still a kiss, and one that Rei would never forget.

Rei wiped his tears away from his already reddened face as he remembered the past that had made him so happy… but now he was alone.

"Damn it Kai! Where are you!!" Rei whispered through his whimpers.

There was a knock at the door and then Kenny's soft voice came through the wood, "Rei… a letter's just arrived, it doesn't say who it's for… but we thought you might recognise the handwriting."

Rei looked over at the door confused, then blinked as the letter was pushed under the door. Getting up he looked down at the letter in wonder then gasped as he saw the handwriting… it simple said, "Bladebreakers", but Rei recognised the writing immediately, it was Kai's.

Picking the letter up he jumped onto the bed and ripped the envelope off and opened the letter up, reading it, his eyes watering slightly and his mouth ajar from the shock.

Dear Bladebreakers,

I'm sorry if my absence has made any of you worry but it could not be helped as I am at the moment suffering from amnesia. I don't believe it to be permanent as I am already remembering quite a lot of my past, though I have to admit I do not remember you lot at all.

I am presently staying with Tala in the Abbey where I am told I live and I am in good health. Tala has taken good care of me and is helping me remember things slowly, bit by bit. And though he was reluctant to tell me that I was part of a beyblade team, he is now being honest with me and telling me all that he can.

I'm sorry that I do not remember you all at the moment, I do have slight memories from tournaments we went to but they are not clear enough for me now to make sense.

There is not much more that I can say, all I really wanted to say was that I am well, and you do not have to worry about me anymore. I hope to have my memory back soon and will hope to see you then…

But I have to say that I may have to pull out of the team, I have a made a home with Tala who I love very much and would not feel comfortable leaving. I'm sorry for any inconveniences this has caused you and hope that you can forgive me.

Once again, I'm sorry if I have worried you in anyway.

Good bye

Kai Hiwatari

Rei gritted his teeth and threw the letter against the wall with a growl. He didn't know whether to be excited, happy, angry or upset. He was glad he knew that Kai was okay… kind of, and that he was safe, but he was upset with Kai's condition and that he didn't remember him at all… he hadn't even mentioned his name. But he was also very angry that Tala – that bastard – had lied to Kai and had not mentioned that he had a bloody boyfriend who was worried shitless for him and that he was stealing Kai from him.

Just knowing that Kai now loved Tala was tearing Rei to pieces, but he couldn't blame Kai, but he could sure hate Tala. Rei hit the wall in his anger with a strong growl. There came a knock at the door, followed by Max's voice.

"Rei? What's up? What did the letter say? Rei?"

Rei blinked and narrowed his eyes dangerously. Jumping off the bed he walked over and swung the door open, shock the others.

"We're going to the Abbey." Rei ordered.

"Why there?" Tyson asked, chocolate bar melting in his hand.

"The letter was from Kai, he has amnesia so he doesn't remember us. I'm not waiting here any longer."

With that Rei rushed down the stairs, the others right behind him.

"But it's the middle of the night!!" Kenny called.

"If we set out now we'll get there by dawn… I can't wait any longer guys…. Please." Rei pleaded, tears evident in his eyes.

Sighing, the others gave in with a nod and they got their coats together before leaving and heading out towards the town.

Kai was looking out of his window into the night's sky as the snow fell lightly onto the garden. He watched as some of the children rushed around laughing at each other as they fell and rolled in the snow. Kai smirked to himself, He'd have to tell them off tomorrow for being out so late.

A knock came at the door and Kai turned to see Tala walk in, a smile on his face. Walking over he took Kai in his arms and kissed him passionately while running his hand through his hair and running down to his back. Pulling away reluctantly, Tala smirked as he heard Kai moan, wanting more.

"I have something for you." Tala spoke, stroking Kai's cheek.

Tala reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver chain with a locket handing gracefully from it. Kai gasped as he took it within his hands.

"Sorry, it's not wrapped, didn't have time." Tala apologised, blushing slightly.

"How… How can you afford something like this?" Kai asked.

"I saved up a little to treat myself a while ago… but I thought it would better if I spent it on you."

"You shouldn't have… that was your money." Kai insisted holding the necklace back out to Tala.

"That money was meant to make me happy, and giving you something does make me happy. Now stop protesting and some here."

Tala took the necklace off Kai and tied it round his neck, "There." Tala smiled at the blush that was upon Kai's pale features. Reaching down, Kai took the locket and looked inside, smiling at the images that had been placed; one was of Kai when he was young and the other one was of Tala when he was young.

"You were cute when you were young." Kai smiled, looking back up at Tala.

"And you were beautiful even then." Tala replied.

Pulling him closer, Kai claimed Tala's mouth in a loving kiss. Tala returned, wrapping his arms around Kai's waist as his tongue brushed against Kai's soft lips. Opening instantly, Tala was able to explore the caverns of Kai's mouth that he had now claimed as his. While he was distracting Kai with pleasure that was reinforced by Kai's moans, Tala moved and placed Kai on the bed, his form hovering over his. They kept the kiss going as they removed each others clothes until they lay naked, Tala's manhood rubbing against Kai's, causing both of them to moan, Kai biting his lip.

Pull apart, Tala looked down at Kai with lustful eyes while Kai's where misted with wanted pleasure, "You sure about this?" Tala asked.

"I am." Kai whispered.

Reaching down, Tala kissed Kai before he began to pleasure him throughout the night, claiming Kai as his and showing him the love that he held for him. Kai's moans ran round the abbey, causing all the children to giggle to each other.

As the sun began to rise Tala collapsed on top of Kai, sweat covering both of their bodies and the sheets covered in their love. Kai wrapped his arms around Tala's as he kissed him gently.

"I love you." He whispered.

Tala smiled, he had wanted to hear that for so long, "I love you too."
