Hey! I'm back!

My muses still haven't returned, unfortunately enough. -_-;;; They are so going to get it...

So, I am utterly amazed by the amount of reviews I've gotten! 77 at last count! ^_______________^

And now I have a Rei plushie! *huggles plushie* Thanks Rei!! ^___^

Jay Kamiya: Just so you know, this isn't supposed to be funny. I can't write humor anyways. Kai angisting isn't my idea of funny.

Bloody Mary: As always I appreciate your reviews. You're pickier than everyone else (including myself). Just so you know, I had no idea what to write in that chapter. It was filler and has barely anything to do with anything. It doesn't do anything for me, so don't worry if it sucks. And thanks for making the point known. *spoiler!* I was going to make Tyson the accepting one, just on the basis of "friends are friends no matter what" anyways. ^__^

Anyways I'm going to work on this chapter until it is at least four pages for you guys. *scowls at writer's block*

Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade. Phooie. If I did I could pay people to come up with a jump-start idea for me. -_-;

~`~,*|*`~,~

Kai stepped through the door and looked around. Tyson had woken them up just a moment ago, so where was he? He moved from the door into the hallway and was suddenly grabbed by a gloved hand and pulled into the living room. When he saw who it was he snapped: "Tyson, you idiot! What are you doing?"

"What are ~you~ doing?" asked Tyson meaningfully, folding his arms.

"What are you talking about, Tyson?" Kai asked warily.

"Kai, I saw you and Rei this morning." Tyson had a serious voice on that he hardly ever used. Kai froze. Tyson was the only one who would really confront him on anything. It just had to be him...

"Saw what?"

He gritted his teeth to keep from lashing out at the other teen. This was not happening...

"You guys were...erm...sharing a bed," Tyson said more quietly. He was getting slightly nervous. It was obvious that he had hit a nerve, but what did that mean?

Kai reacted immediately. He grabbed Tyson by the shoulders and slammed him against the wall, his feet dangling above the floor.

"Who did you tell?" he hissed.

"No one!" Tyson's eyes were wide and he looked scared.

The full realization of what had happened hit Kai and he dropped his arms. Tyson dropped to the ground and stood there looking puzzled.

"Kai?"

Kai lowered his head and tried to think out a plan of action. However, all the horrible thoughts worrying around his head wouldn't let him. He turned away from Tyson and slowly moved into the back of the cabin.

He walked into his bedroom in a daze and shut the door carefully, locking it. He then walked over to the bed, picked up a pillow from Rei's bed, and threw it hard against the wall.

~`~,*|*`~,~

"What was that?"

Max and Rei were seated at the kitchen table, eating, when Max commented on the thump coming from the bedroom.

Tyson came into the room looking slightly pale.

"Um...Kai just came in."

~`~,*|*`~,~

"Kai? Are you in there? Are you alright?"

I hear footsteps, and the door opens a crack. I know that if I force him, he'll just shut himself up again so I wait for an answer.

"Rei..."

He breaths my name as if he can't say anything else. I can see one half of his face, and just looks forlorn. His normally harsh eyes, sometimes lit up in precious moments of happiness, were clouded with hurt and confusion. Something Rei had only ever seen once before. On a frozen lake in Russia.

His lowest point.

"What's wrong?"

I plead silently for an answer. He'll tell me if I give him time.

Then Tyson picks a very bad time to interrupt.

"Hey Kai, why don't you just come out..."

"Come out? Yeah fuckin right! I don't want to see your face! You'll be snickering behind my back the whole time! Well fuck off, why don't you!"

The door slams in my face and I wince.

"Tysooonnn..."

He knows I'm expecting answers, so when I turn to look at him he's looking sheepishly at the ground.

"Yeeeessss..."

"What did you say?"

I'm aware that I'm talking to him very patronizingly, and that he's going to snap at me...

"Don't talk to me like that! I just said..."

He caught himself with a cough and I frowned.

"You said...what?"

"Just that..."

"Yeeesss..."

"I saw him..."

"Yesss..."

"And you..."

My first warning that something is seriously wrong.

"Yes?"

"Were...erm...in bed together"

I paled and stared at him and he rushed to a finish.

"He was kinda upset and he stormed off so I kinda assumed that I was right."

"Tyson. You know that Kai would be upset if you told him something like that."

"Yeah, but I didn't be *that* upset."

I sigh and give him a Look.

"What? It's not like I care about something like that or anything!"

"But you didn't ~tell~ him that, did you?"

"No. But stop lecturing me! You're not my mother!"

Tyson stomped off to the kitchen and I knew he was more affected than he acted. Tyson really cared about Kai, dispite how they kept up their rivelry. Tyson would be nothing without his friends, and he knows how to make them and keep them.

Then a thought struck me and I was worried again.

I hadn't told Kai that it didn't matter to me, and neither did Tyson. What was he going to do?

I looked fearfully at the door, but knew it wouldn't be open for me for a while. Untill he decides to give us another chance.

This was too messed up.

One locked in, one locked out.

Who would move first?

~`~,*|*`~,~

There! 5 pages!!!!

About a week in the making and I actually revised this one. Something I hardly ever do after I've finished something.

Thanks go out to the wonderful people at Redblade for looking at my first chapter and giving me some really good creative criticism.

Review all! ^__^
