Chapter 4
*Kevin's Thoughts*
I have always looked up to Rei. Until he left the village, that is. I found out that day, that even the ones you look up to and trust more than anyone else in the world can betray you. That's why I have few friends. My only friends are the other members of my team, the White Tigers, Gary, Lee and Mariah. But I have never put my full trust in any of them, for they could easily get it into their heads to do what Rei did. I had admired Rei for he had never lost a match, even before he got his bit-beast, but now I don't for in my eyes he's nothing but a traitor. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive him for what he did. I have always known that Mariah was in love with Rei, and I have my suspicions that she was one of the reasons he left us. Rei never seemed to show any sign of affection towards Mariah, so I think that she was pissing him off.
One day a few weeks before Rei left, he wandered off on his own in the forest. He'd done this before, and I was curious about why he did. I followed him and he didn't know. Rei went deep into the forest and when he was about a mile away from the village, to my great shock and astonishment, Rei somehow changed into a white tiger. I was shocked speechless. I couldn't believe that Rei could do that. I went back to the village after that, and then the next day I went to Rei and told him that I needed to talk to him privately. He followed me and I led him into the forest and we walked until we got to a clearing a short way away from the village. That way I could be heard if Rei tried to threaten me. I would just yell for help and people would come running. Rei was getting bored and then I told him that I knew his secret, that he could turn into a white tiger, and that if he didn't do one thing for me, then I would tell the whole village. He then said that if I went to tell anyone, he would eat me, but I then asked him how he would explain my disappearance.
He asked me what I wanted him to do, and I said that I wanted him to tell me how he changed into a white tiger. He told me then he made me promise not to tell the others, then he changed and ran off. I did what he said and to my shock, I changed into a white tiger. I was pleased. I had some fun as the white tiger. I kept my word, and didn't tell anyone else. After that I often went off on my own, and changed into the white tiger. I had some fun and never hurt anyone.
Mariah and Lee were starting to get suspicious, and then Rei left and that made them forget about being suspicious of me. I was glad that Rei had left, but I also felt betrayed. When we found out, Mariah was in tears. She had loved him. For some reason, I found that I had really strong feelings for Rei. I was really sad when he left, and changing into the white tiger reminded me of him. For about two months after Rei left our village I felt miserable. I went off on my own a lot, but I didn't change into the white tiger. Sometimes Mariah came with me when I went off on my own, and we talked about Rei. One day I told her that I had a secret, and she wanted to know what it was. I said that I'd tell her if she promised that she wouldn't tell anyone. Mariah promised, and I told her that I love Rei. She was shocked, and she just stared at me. "Oh my gosh, Kevin, no way!"
Then she slapped me. "I won't tell, Kevin, but let me tell you this you can only have Rei if I'm dead. I really don't think he'll want you, though." Then she walked away laughing. My face stung where she'd slapped me, and I vowed that I'd get my revenge on her. And I always keep my word.
That was a year ago. Now Gary, Lee, Mariah, and I are a team of beybladers, the White Tigers. One day while I was looking for a challenge on the streets of Hong Kong, I heard rumours that a team of beybladers had come here from China. I also heard that they were China's top four beybladers, and I decided to check them out. I was confident that I couldn't be beaten, because I had the power of Galmon in my beyblade. I decided to check the back allies, just in case they were there, and then I saw Rei.
I followed him, he looked like he was pissed off. He was all by himself, and when I saw him I felt warm inside. I knew that I still had feelings for him. I smiled at that thought. I would never tell Rei unless I got him alone. Rei walked through the back allies, and after a few minutes he found a guy with blue hair and a scarf around his neck. I had never seen him before, so I knew he must have been one of the new beybladers. All of a sudden Rei changed. He grew three tails and markings appeared on his body and face. 'This is getting interesting,' I thought. I watched Rei and he raped the other guy. I couldn't believe that Rei would do such a thing. After he was done, he threw the guy against a wall and then he ran away. I watched him leave. He slowed to a walk, and he changed back to normal, then he fainted. I wanted to help him, but my ears picked up the noise of three people coming this way.
I looked at the other guy, and saw that he was lying on the ground near the wall in a puddle of his own blood. Then I left and went back to my team. Later on we heard news that the Bladebreakers' captain had been raped and was at the hospital. The next day we heard that he and Rei had left the Bladebreakers. Then Mariah went looking for Rei and she left us. She had said that she wouldn't come back without Rei, and I was extremely jealous of her. Three weeks later, she still hadn't come back, and Lee wanted to go looking for her. I didn't though, and I argued with him. We argued for half an hour, and then I heard some footsteps and looked up. "Rei!" I said in shock. Then Lee looked up as well, and said, "Rei, what are you doing here?" He sounded surprised. "I wanted to see my old friends again. I've missed you guys so much. Hey, where's Mariah?" said Rei.
"That's what we've been wondering," said Lee. "We were arguing about whether we should go and look for her. I say we should, but Kevin disagrees with me. What do you think, Rei?" "I agree with Kevin," he said. "Why waste your time looking for her?" Lee decided that Mariah could take care of herself, and we talked with Rei, and found we had a lot to talk about. Rei decided to stay with us that night, and we lit a fire where we were, and then after Lee fell asleep both Rei and I were still wide awake. I asked him to come for a walk with me, and he came with me.
*Kai's POV*
I opened my eyes to find myself in the cave that Rei and I lived in. I sat up and saw that Rei was asleep next to me. I didn't remember much from last night, but I figured that Rei must have carried me here. I found that I wasn't wearing my scarf, and I looked around for it, but I didn't see it anywhere. I decided that I would ask Rei about it later. I walked outside and then I changed into the phoenix. I knew that we had nothing to eat, so I went hunting for food. Half an hour later, I flew past the cave and saw that Rei was gone. Then I saw him standing near the cave looking at me and smiling. The next thing I knew, I was falling out of the sky. I'd been hit! All of a sudden, to my shock, I changed back into my human form. I landed hard on the ground with a terrible pain in my chest. I touched the spot and then I cried out in pain and jerked my hand away. I looked at it and there was blood on it.
I then placed my hand back on my chest and winced because of the pain, then I used my healing powers to heal my wound. I was fine after that and then I got a shock. I realized then that I remembered everything! I couldn't believe it. I then found myself thinking about Rei and what he did to me, but when I think about it, he looked like he was in some sort of trance. I forgave him for what he did, then I tried to change back into the phoenix, but found to my shock that I couldn't. I tried to change into my youkai form, but found that I couldn't change into that either. I was stuck in my human form. "What the fuck?! How can this happen, and why to me?" I was so pissed off, and I began to walk back to the cave, my eyes glowing with anger. 'If Rei isn't there when I get back he'll pay for it', I thought to myself.
It was pitch dark by the time I got back to our cave, but I could still see everything because of my glowing eyes. I saw at once that Rei wasn't back, and then I decided to go and find him. Boy would he get it when I found him. But first I collapsed onto the floor of the cave, for I was exhausted. I closed my eyes and thought to myself, 'I'll just rest for a few minutes then I'll go and look for my koi.' When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the first rays of the sun. It was morning. I looked around and saw that Rei was still gone and hadn't come back at all last night. I wondered what had happened to him. I wasn't worried, though, because I know Rei can look after himself. I wondered over to the cave entrance, and then I tried to change into the phoenix again, but I still couldn't, and I couldn't change into my youkai form either. So I walked and searched the forest around our cave.
Not long after I began my search, I heard some people nearby. Hopefully they had seen Rei. I missed him so much that it hurt. I walked towards the sound and found Rei with two guys he seemed to know. He was talking to them, and I had the feeling that he knew them really well. I asked him. He jumped slightly in shock and looked directly at me. I couldn't take my red eyes off his gold eyes. I was with Kevin and Lee, two of my friends from my village, he said. Then he noticed what form I was in. He was shocked by my answer. I can't change from my human form, Rei. I'm stuck in this body, but I still have all my powers. And I also have my memory back. Rei then decided to introduce me to his friends, because I stepped out from the shadows. "Lee, Kevin, this is my boyfriend, Kai," said Rei. Then we kissed and I smiled at the looks on Lee's and Kevin's faces. Lee's was a look of pure disgust, and Kevin's was jealousy.
It was then that the realization hit me. Kevin was jealous of me. He had a thing for Rei, but I was the only one who would have him. I growled low in the back of my throat. asked Rei, for he had heard me growl. said Rei, cutting me off. I smiled at this. I felt really hungry and I told Rei. His friends gave me something to eat right away.
*Rei's POV*
That night after Lee was asleep, Kevin asked me to come for a walk with him because he couldn't sleep. I agreed, because I couldn't sleep either. We walked into the forest and then when we got to a clearing we stopped and Kevin said he had something to tell me. "Rei, I'm not quite sure how to say this," he said. I didn't say anything. "Well, you know I like you a lot Rei, as friends, I mean." I wasn't sure yet but this sounded suspicious, and I didn't like the way it sounded like this conversation was going. "But what would you do if, for example, a guy liked you as more than a friend.?" "Kevin, you surely don't mean to say that you like me.do you?" I asked, feeling really uncomfortable. "Yeah, Rei. I've liked you ever since before you left the village." he said. "I'm sorry Kevin, but I already have a boyfriend. I still like you, but I've never had those feelings for you," I replied. I could see the disappointment in his eyes. He had been hoping that I wouldn't reject him, I could tell. "We can still be friends, if you like," I suggested. Kevin nodded. He was really sad and I didn't know what to do to cheer him up.
I had been truly surprised when Kevin had told me his true feelings for me. I mean I had no idea that he felt that way about me. But I hurt him by turning him down. Kai's the only one for me. I love him with all my heart, and nothing will change that. I only hope that Kai feels the same way. The next day I talked with Kevin and Lee, and then I heard Kai's voice in my head. he asked me. I jumped slightly in shock and looked into the shadows where I could make out two faintly glowing red points of light, Kai's eyes. I knew that he was there and I was relieved. I stared at him for a long time without blinking. Then I said, I I looked harder and I saw that my Kai was in his human form. I wanted to see my youkai koi. I wanted to see his wings again. They are one of the things I find most attractive about him, that and other things which I'm not going to say what they are. I frowned slightly and then I said, He answered me with, I can't change from my human form, Rei. I'm stuck in this body, but I still have all my powers. And I also have my memory back. I was glad that he had his memory back, but I couldn't believe him about being stuck in that human form. That was impossible.
Kai stepped out from the shadows, and then I introduced him to my friends. "Lee, Kevin, this is my boyfriend, Kai," I said. Then we kissed and I smiled. The looks on their faces! Lee was disgusted and Kevin had a look of jealousy on his face. He was staring at Kai. Kai growled low in the back of his throat and I heard him. I asked him. He replied with, Then I cut him off with, Kai smiled at that. I then knew I had done the right thing in turning Kevin down. Kai would never forgive me if I cheated on him. Then Kai told me he was hungry and Kevin and Lee brought him some food which he finished in a matter of minutes. 'Holy fuck, he must have been starving,' I thought to myself.
About half an hour later, I left Kai with Lee and Kevin, and went off on my own to think. I walked to the clearing that Kevin and I had talked in, and then I sat down and thought about this situation. Then I thought about Kai, and then I realized something. If he had his memory back and he remembered everything, then I reckon that he'd remember who raped him. Oh fuck! It probably was me, but I don't remember doing anything so awful to him. I would never do that on purpose. I suddenly heard some heavy footsteps, and looked up. It was Kai, for I'd know the sound of his footsteps anywhere. "Are you okay, Rei?" he asked me. "I-I'm fine," I stuttered. Kai sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. "No, Rei, you're obviously not. What's the matter, Rei?"
"Do you remember everything?" I asked. He looked at me strangely. "Yes, why?" "Well, um." Kai thought for a minute. "Oh I think I see what you're worried about, it's me being raped. It was you, Rei. But I've forgiven you." I stared at him. Why would he forgive me? I asked that question out loud. "Why have you forgiven me, Kai?" I asked. "There are two reasons." He said. "One, I love you, and two, I know that you didn't know what you were doing. You have no memories of raping me, am I right?" I was stunned. "Yeah that's right." Then I hugged Kai and kissed him and we went back to Kevin and Lee. Kai and I walked with our arms around each other. I spoke to Lee, and told him that I would come visit him and of course bring my koibito. I said that we had to go now, but we would maybe come visit in a few days. He smiled and said goodbye. Kai and I walked away from them and as soon as we were out of sight of Kevin and Lee, I changed into the white tiger, or rather, I tried to change into the white tiger. To my horror and shock, I found that I couldn't change into my white tiger form or my youkai form.
"What the fuck is going on?!" I said out loud in frustration. Kai looked at me. "What are you going on about, Rei?" he asked me. "Shimatta! I can't change my form. I'm stuck in this human body." I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. Kai and I walked back to our cave. It didn't take us long to get back there, and when we did I lay down on the floor and fell asleep. I was getting lazy, lately. I had a dream about Kai.
I was walking in the forest and I came across a clearing. I walked forward and stumbled over something. I looked down to see what I'd tripped over, and saw a phoenix lying on the ground. All of a sudden the phoenix changed into Kai, and I could see that he was bleeding. There was blood all over his chest, and when I knelt down next to him and reached my hand out to heal Kai with my healing powers, I heard, "Touch him and you die." I froze at the sound of the voice. I recognized it as a male's voice, but I didn't know whose voice it was. I turned around and saw that it was a guy with long white hair that hung about halfway down his back. He had chocolate brown eyes, and a dangerous smirk on his face. "Did you do this to my koibito?" I asked him. He nodded and then I said, "Are you the reason I can't change my form?" The stranger nodded again. "What's your name?" I asked him. "Bakura," he said. I looked at Kai and then I saw a flash of light out of the corner of my eye. I looked back up at Bakura, but he had vanished. I then healed Kai, but then I saw that he wasn't breathing. "NO, KAI!!!" I was in tears, for the one I loved was dead.
All of a sudden I felt someone shaking me, and I opened my eyes and sat up. Kai had been shaking me. I looked at him. "You were having a nightmare, Rei, I know. Was it about me?" he asked me. I nodded. "How did you know?" I asked him. "You were screaming my name." I looked at the wall. I was relieved that it had just been a dream, but I think it was also a sign. A few days later, I was walking in the forest, and thinking about the dream I'd had, when I spotted something moving out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head, and to my shock, it was Bakura who had caught my attention. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that I must have been hallucinating or something. "B-Bakura?" I stuttered, catching his attention. "Who's there?" he asked, startled. Then he turned around and glared at me. "Who are you, and how did you know my name?" Bakura asked me. "I had a dream about you," I answered. "My name's Rei." He continued to stare at me with that icy glare of his. I reckoned that it could almost rival Kai's glare. I smiled at that thought. Bakura asked me, "What the fuck are you smiling about, and what was that dream about?" I answered him with, "I'm smiling because I'm thinking about my boyfriend, and in that dream you killed my boyfriend. Kai was a phoenix and you shot him or something, then he died." Bakura didn't say anything. He just frowned at me thoughtfully.
*Kevin's Thoughts*
I have always looked up to Rei. Until he left the village, that is. I found out that day, that even the ones you look up to and trust more than anyone else in the world can betray you. That's why I have few friends. My only friends are the other members of my team, the White Tigers, Gary, Lee and Mariah. But I have never put my full trust in any of them, for they could easily get it into their heads to do what Rei did.

He replied with, Then I cut him off with, Kai smiled at that. I then knew I had done the right thing in turning Kevin down. Kai would never forgive me if I cheated on him. Then Kai told me he was hungry and Kevin and Lee brought him some food which he finished in a matter of minutes. 'Holy fuck, he must have been starving,' I thought to myself.
About half an hour later, I left Kai with Lee and Kevin, and went off on my own to think. I walked to the clearing that Kevin and I had talked in, and then I sat down and thought about this situation. Then I thought about Kai, and then I realized something. If he had his memory back and he remembered everything, then I reckon that he'd remember who raped him. Oh fuck! It probably was me, but I don't remember doing anything so awful to him. I would never do that on purpose. I suddenly heard some heavy footsteps, and looked up. It was Kai, for I'd know the sound of his footsteps anywhere. "Are you okay, Rei?" he asked me. "I-I'm fine," I stuttered. Kai sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. "No, Rei, you're obviously not. What's the matter, Rei?"
"Do you remember everything?" I asked. He looked at me strangely. "Yes, why?" "Well, um." Kai thought for a minute. "Oh I think I see what you're worried about, it's me being raped. It was you, Rei. But I've forgiven you." I stared at him. Why would he forgive me? I asked that question out loud. "Why have you forgiven me, Kai?" I asked. "There are two reasons." He said. "One, I love you, and two, I know that you didn't know what you were doing. You have no memories of raping me, am I right?" I was stunned. "Yeah that's right." Then I hugged Kai and kissed him and we went back to Kevin and Lee. Kai and I walked with our arms around each other. I spoke to Lee, and told him that I would come visit him and of course bring my koibito. I said that we had to go now, but we would maybe come visit in a few days. He smiled and said goodbye. Kai and I walked away from them and as soon as we were out of sight of Kevin and Lee, I changed into the white tiger, or rather, I tried to change into the white tiger. To my horror and shock, I found that I couldn't change into my white tiger form or my youkai form.
"What the fuck is going on?!" I said out loud in frustration. Kai looked at me. "What are you going on about, Rei?" he asked me. "Shimatta! I can't change my form. I'm stuck in this human body." I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. Kai and I walked back to our cave. It didn't take us long to get back there, and when we did I lay down on the floor and fell asleep. I was getting lazy, lately. I had a dream about Kai.
I was walking in the forest and I came across a clearing. I walked forward and stumbled over something. I looked down to see what I'd tripped over, and saw a phoenix lying on the ground. All of a sudden the phoenix changed into Kai, and I could see that he was bleeding. There was blood all over his chest, and when I knelt down next to him and reached my hand out to heal Kai with my healing powers, I heard, "Touch him and you die." I froze at the sound of the voice. I recognized it as a male's voice, but I didn't know whose voice it was. I turned around and saw that it was a guy with long white hair that hung about halfway down his back. He had chocolate brown eyes, and a dangerous smirk on his face. "Did you do this to my koibito?" I asked him. He nodded and then I said, "Are you the reason I can't change my form?" The stranger nodded again. "What's your name?" I asked him. "Bakura," he said. I looked at Kai and then I saw a flash of light out of the corner of my eye. I looked back up at Bakura, but he had vanished. I then healed Kai, but then I saw that he wasn't breathing. "NO, KAI!!!" I was in tears, for the one I loved was dead.
All of a sudden I felt someone shaking me, and I opened my eyes and sat up. Kai had been shaking me. I looked at him. "You were having a nightmare, Rei, I know. Was it about me?" he asked me. I nodded. "How did you know?" I asked him. "You were screaming my name." I looked at the wall. I was relieved that it had just been a dream, but I think it was also a sign. A few days later, I was walking in the forest, and thinking about the dream I'd had, when I spotted something moving out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head, and to my shock, it was Bakura who had caught my attention. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that I must have been hallucinating or something. "B-Bakura?" I stuttered, catching his attention. "Who's there?" he asked, startled. Then he turned around and glared at me. "Who are you, and how did you know my name?" Bakura asked me. "I had a dream about you," I answered. "My name's Rei." He continued to stare at me with that icy glare of his. I reckoned that it could almost rival Kai's glare. I smiled at that thought. Bakura asked me, "What the fuck are you smiling about, and what was that dream about?" I answered him with, "I'm smiling because I'm thinking about my boyfriend, and in that dream you killed my boyfriend. Kai was a phoenix and you shot him or something, then he died." Bakura didn't say anything. He just frowned at me thoughtfully.
