Hi!

I'm crazy Rei luva and first I have some messages. First, I'm writing this chapter (DOH) and Ninsg is away for four weeks, so I'll be writing the next few chapters. Though there's a problem too. I'm soon off for a two week vacation to Italy. (Italian guys, here I come!!! *Italian guys run away*) So this story won't be updated then I think. But don't worry, it will be when I get back -__-;;;.

Enjoy the chapter, it's in Kai's POV.

Kai: I'm not going to be all lovey dovey right?

C-R-L: No. Not yet. *big evil grin*

Kai: I hate it when she does that.

C-R-L: *shoves Kai aside* It' Rei's turn to do the disclaimer. Rei?

Rei: Ninsg and C-R-L don't own anything except when there's something original in the chapter which doesn't appear in the series.

C-R-L: *glomps Rei* Enjoy the fic ^^.

~ Different: Chapter 3 ~

After our dinner Mr. D. begins to speak. I'm not interested in those speeches about friendship and all. My answer is clear. NO! Friendship is for losers and weaklings. Not for me, the great Kai Hiwatari. I'm only in this team cause I want to be the world champion.

Suddenly I hear my name fall and I start to listen.

After a whole thing of rules for the tournament I interrupt.

"I could win all those matches by myself, but I have to work with these joker-babies?" I say annoyed, but in a calm voice.

"There's no 'I' in the team, Kai." Mr. D. Sighs. "Well, there's no 'Kai' in the team either." I snap while I walk to door, slamming it hard enough to express my decision.

"Come back!" I hear Max yelling. Then I'm outside.

I turn left and begin to walk. Soon I'm in the alleys of China. I once trained those losers, but I'm not doing that again. Rei was a guy with talent and technique, Max too, but Tyson...

He's a disaster.

But I'm still not planning to hang around with the other guys. They can die, I don't care. That neko-jin probably would be the only one who'd leave me alone. After these thoughts I train for half an hour. Nothing much, just cutting off the steps of these metal staircases you have in the alleys.

Suddenly I hear voices.

"My legs are killing me!" I hear Tyson's voice groan.

"Why does Kai wanna get lost instead of hanging out with us?" I hear Max voice sigh.

"Kai is a loner. He plays by his own rules." I hear Rei say sadly. Why is he sad?

Suddenly there's a silence.

"What's wrong Rei?"

That was Tyson.

"Shhhhhhh...I hear a blade spinning."

"What? I don't hear it. Wait... Now I hear it too."

"This way! It must be Kai." Rei says.

I jump on the staircase and climb further the alley in. Then I come down again and I watch the scene in the shadows.

A black wok came flying at the other their feet and a blue blade spun around it.

Tyson yelled.

"Well well well, what do we have here." I see a black haired boy stepping out of the shadows.

"Who are you?" Rei asked demanding.

"I'm here to get to know your bitbeasts." the guy smirked, and took out a pair of nunchuks. He began swinging them around and another beyblade went flying into the wok.

"It's the dreaded nunchuk shooter." Rei said . Well, you don't see that often.

I see the guy is a good blader. But Tyson defeated him in no time.

"I can't believe I lost." The guy muttered, falling to the knees.

Suddenly I hear someone preparing to launch his blade. I bring my launcher and blade up and stand in the position to launch if something would happen.

Suddenly I see a purple blade heading for Rei. I launch my blade and knock the purple blade into the wok.

"Kai!"

I look at Max when I hear his voice. He'd better shut up. They even can't survive an hour without me.

"Well Brucy, you failed." Said a voice. I turned around to see the purple blade fly into a hand.

I see a little guy with green hair and purple eyes on the ground. It looks like he jumped off a roof and landed gracefully on the ground.

"But Kevin, you can't kick me out of the White Tigers. I just earned myself a nickname." I look as the guy named Bruce begs to stay. The White Tigers? What the fuck!

"I have a new nickname for you. How does Mr. Failure sound?" Kevin smirked, showing his fangs. Mr Failure?! The green guy's such a baka.

"That's so cruel." Bruce said sadly, walking away. He clearly doesn't know how to make a cool impression, otherwise he would say something different then "That's so cruel". The second baka of that little group.

I notice that Rei's face wasn't all to happy and he was rather quiet too.

"What's wrong, Raymond." Kevin sneered. I look at Kevin again.

"Do you know this guy, Rei?" Tyson asked rather curious.

Nooooooooooo, of course Rei doesn't know the guy. How would the guy otherwise know Rei's name!!! I really want to whack Tyson on his head at times.

"Kevin, what are you doing here." Rei growled.

"I see you have some friends, need a babysitter?"

"HEY!"

Kevin did a back flip and crouched low like a cat.

"I was just having some fun. Wanna beybattle? My Galman's gonna have you for breakfast." The little guy sneered.

"I'll battle you." Rei stepped forward, but Tyson blocked him.

"No, this is my match Rei." Tyson grunted.

Oh Tyson, always the guy who has to be the hero.

I look to Kevin again and I see him smirk. I am lucky that Tyson isn't that bad at blading after all. He'd better not loose.

Max stepped forward.

"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!" he yelled, bringing his hand down.

And with that I see Tyson loosing the first round. Grrrrrr, if that guy looses the second round too he's dead.

"You maybe won this round Kevin, but I got the edge because you haven't seen my bit-beast yet." Tyson said full of confidence.

That's one of his big mysteries, how that guy keeps confidence in every situation. And that shows again his lack at personality.

"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!"

Kevin released his Galman again and used the same attack as before, but now Tyson fought back by releasing his Dragoon. Tyson won the round in no time using his Hurricane attack.

Everybody was cheering. I think he could've done this much better. This is a real disgrace for our team. Not that I care of course.

I hear Kevin threaten Tyson by saying they have one more round to go, but then I hear Bruce's voice again. I turn to where his voice comes from.

Kevin, what you're doing is against the rules." A girl popped out from behind Bruce.

OWWWWW THE PINK!!! LET US HIDE!!! Man, that girl could win a war by that. She just has to walk over the place where the fights are and she would win with all that pink.

I notice I missed quite a bit of the conversation so I begin to pay attention again. A big guy who would probably eat more then Tyson now stands behind the pink girl and Kevin was gone.

"Mariah! I thought. . . .you didn't want to see me anymore." Rei muttered.

"The White Tigers are only here to compete in the Asian tournament." The girl named Mariah hissed.

What an irritating voice! She'd better not talk to much or I could go crazy and hurt her or something.

"If it isn't Rei. . . ." I look to Mariah's left when I hear that voice come out of the shadows.

"Why don't you introduce us to your friends, though they are a couple of lame bladers."

I nodded inside my head. HEY!!! He doesn't mean me too right? Grrrrrrr I'm going to teach that bastard a lesson.

"What did you say, Lee?!" Ray snarled.

"Are you the leader of this bunch of crap."I ask while taking out Dranzer. Nobody could take it when I insulted him, her or his/her team.

"You wanna go? No, we have certain rules to follow." I look at Lee while he says this and shakes his head.

"You're backing out?" I sneer.

"Yeah right." Lee said and walked away. I narrow my eyes as I watch him going.

"What about me? I'll fight you." Mariah yelled

"Sorry, but you're not the one I have a problem with." I say in a sarcastic voice. Or rather, I do have a problem with you, but you're a waste of my time.

"Go Galux!" I look up as Mariah launches her pink blade at the wok. In a speed of light, the pink blade rushed around and returned to Mariah's palm.

Wow, is everything about her pink?

"Whoa. . . .take a look at this." Kenny gasped. I look to the wok and see it split into several pieces.

Grrrrrr. How dare she? That's an insult where that slut's going to pay for.

"Lucky." I say while folding my arms, trying to keep me calm.

"I don't like to be kept waiting Mariah." Lee's voice came.

"Coming! I'll catch you later Rei." She said in a dangerous voice.

Gary followed her.

Good, finally that bunch of crap's gone too. I'm off. I'm really not going to talk to my 'teammates'. The only thing they'd do was asking to Rei what those White Tigers had to do with him and why Mariah called him a traitor. Because they are so naive that they wouldn't even understand that. It was obvious that Rei was part of the White Tigers in the past and that he left them for some kinda reason. Probably because of that Mariah girl. I would go away too. I dunno why but the thought that Rei left because of Mariah cheered me up. Well, it probably wasn't because of that that I was happy, it was probably just the thought that was so hilarious.

I'm walking off in thoughts, leaving my team behind. *********************************************************************

It's midnight when I'm back at the hotel. I walk towards the hotel room and open the door with the key I got from Mr. D.

Hu? Why's the light still on?

I walk inside and see Rei sitting on the bench in the middle of the little living room. He looks up when I enter.

"Thank you."

"Hu!" Why is he thanking me? What did I do? Whatever it is, I wish I didn't do it.

"Thank you for knocking Kevin's blade away and helping me out with Lee."

I blink. What the hell?! This is nuts. I wasn't helping him, I just did what every normal human would do. But wait... I'm above a normal human. I'm way better.

"Hmph." I say and turn around, a feeling of pure horror in my stomach. I walk into the room I share with Rei and I'm preparing everything to go to bed.

Half an hour later I am still awake. A few minutes ago Rei came into the room and I could feel him looking at me while I pretended to sleep.

"I know you are awake, Kai. We know you have human feelings. I dunno how we know it but we just do. You need some friends and we want to be that. But you won't even let us try." Rei had whispered. Then he laid in his bed and now I could hear his steady breath.

And I curse myself. I curse myself for the weakness I showed. I curse myself over and over again and still I don't know why I showed it.

But if I torture myself all night with the curses and memories then I would be far above a normal human again tomorrow.

Stupid weakness... Stupid me... How could I be such a baka... I'm a friggin bastard........

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wowie, this was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong chapter. I don't know how I came trough this but I did and this probably sucks so R+R and tell me cause this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo suckish. Sorry for the Mariah bashing if there are Mariah fans who read this story. I hate the girl. I personally think that Kai really hates Mariah.

Sayonara and R+R.
