Burning.
The heat seeped painfully into his bones, as though it was ripping them apart, scorching skin, it seemed, and anything else in the way. It was pure agony, incredible pain.
Definitely not the worst pain he'd ever come across.
But it was still pretty damn bad.
Kai bit his lip and tried not to yell out. His face was twisted in an extremely angry scowl. He reached out and suddenly-
Cold. Freezing, icy, chilly liquid ice cubes fell on his head and coursed down his neck. He suppressed a gasp and leapt into the corner of the shower. At least, as well as you can leap in a shower. Kai nearly fell over, luckily grabbing onto something, while dislodging a shampoo bottle.
'Herbal Essences?' he read off the label. 'For thick hair…'
I never knew Tyson was that weird…Kai dropped the bottle hurriedly and concentrated on the important thing, mainly not being turned into an icicle. He reached out and twiddled the knob. Sweet relief. Kai relaxed for a second under the now warm spray, until…
Searing again. Kai cursed beneath his breath and reached out. Suddenly it was arctic again and he recoiled hurriedly to avoid the spurt of water.
It occurred to Kai what was going on. It surprised him that he hadn't caught on sooner, but he supposed he'd uncharacteristically been giving the shower the benefit of the doubt. He reached out and shut off the shower; he could hear someone bursting his sphincter laughing in the next room.
All in one fluid motion, Kai opened the shower door, grabbed a towel, wrapped it around his waist and flung the door open. He angrily pulled strings of silver-slate hair out of his eyes.
Striding across the hotel suite, he went through another messy bedroom while dripping water all over the place. He pulled the door open, fuming. It was surprising that steam wasn't rising off his shoulders.
'Tyson, you asshole!' he yelled at the boy who was sniggering and playing with the taps.
Tyson spun around. 'It wasn't me!' he said through laughter. Kai grabbed his jacket collar with one soaked hand and dragged the unfortunate boy into the main room of the suite, holding the navy towel up with the other.
'Hey, cheer up, Mr. Sourpuss, it was just a joke!' Tyson protested to the raging teenager.
'A joke? I waited until you were gone to have a shower! Can't you just get lost and leave me alone for a *half an hour* a day?!' Kai snarled at him.
It was this scene that Rei walked in on.
'Hey, Tyson, where'd you go to? Max wants to know if…' he trailed off when he saw the scene before him. Kai, clad in nothing but a towel, appeared to be on the verge of beating the shit out of Tyson.
'I'll just leave you alone, I guess…' Rei trailed off, backing out the door.

So? Whaddaya think? It's my first Beyblade ficcie, short, I know, but it occurred to me when my shower was messing up on me and it seemed funny at the time. Please review! *drools at image of Kai in a towel*
