Chapter 1: Flicker of Light

~Max's P.O.V.~
Morning already? I stretched, yawning hugely. I scratched the back of my dark blond haired head, my deep blue eyes scanning the hotel room I shared with Rei. He was still fast asleep. I looked over his sleeping form. His messy black hair stuck up from under his blankets, one bunch tied with a big, white ribbon, like a tail, down his back. His ying-yang bandana lay on the floor next to his bed, along with his black, fingerless gloves, with ying-yangs on the backs, and his long white shirt, with yellow trimmings and brown shoes. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping, so I tried to make as little noise as possible. I pulled on my grey shorts, white socks, and blue shoes on first, before pulling a green t-shirt, putting my blue t- shirt, with red trimmings, and two stars on the chest, underneath it. I took my blue wristband from my bedside table, putting it on my wrist, and picked up my Beyblade, placing it in my pant pocket. Rei stirred slightly as I walked toward the door. I stopped dead in my tracks as he rolled over with a quiet moan. I sighed deeply as he settled himself again.
Kai, Tyson and Kenny were already up. I could hear them in their room, moving around. Kenny had a room to himself, but I could hear him telling Tyson off through the door. I knocked once. I heard Kai call "Come in!" and turned the knob, pushing open the door. Tyson, Kai and Kenny were sitting around the table in one corner of the room, eating breakfast, which was quickly disappearing. Tyson was shoving food into his mouth greedily, as if he hadn't eaten in ages. "You might want to eat before Tyson finishes it all." Kai said coolly to me, his arms crossed over his chest. "Uh, right." I walked toward the table, reaching for a muffin and a glass to pour some orange juice into, before I settled myself down on a chair in-between Kenny and Tyson.
~Rei's P.O.V~
When I woke up, Max was already gone. I sat up in my bed; the breeze from the open balcony door crossed my bare chest, making me shiver. Max had pulled the drapes closed to darken the room from sunlight; that was nice of him. I know they were open when I fell asleep last night, because I was out on the balcony when Max went to bed sometime around midnight. I yawned, throwing off my blankets. I had fallen asleep in my pants again. I was too tired to bother last night. But I had my shoes and shirt on, didn't I? I just fell into bed. So why am I just in my pants now? Did Max wake up and see that I hadn't bothered to undress and change into my pyjamas? I shrugged. He probably wouldn't do that. I must have forgotten doing that, since I was half asleep. Man, I'm hungry. My stomach growled loudly. I picked up my shirt from the floor, pulling it over my head, and tying it's red sash around my waist. I pulled on my gloves and fixed my headband so it kept my bangs out of my face. My Beyblade was still in my pocket. So that's what was poking into my side all night.
I stepped into the hall, looking both ways down the long corridor. Nobody's was around. I knocked on Kai and Tyson room's door. Kenny answered. "Hi, Rei. Finally awake?" He asked cheerfully. "I had a late night, Chief." I grunted as I walked into the hotel room. We were on holiday for a couple of weeks, supposedly away from it all. Our couch thought we needed some time away from Beyblading, so he sent us to a fancy hotel on the beachfront. I saw Tyson, Kai and Max sitting around the breakfast table, talking and eating, or should I say trying to eat as Tyson gulped down most of the food. I felt a sweatdrop forming on the side of my head. "Morning, guys." I said, smiling at them. My amber/yellow eyes caught Max's. He blushed ever so slightly and went back to his toast. I wondered why he looked away, but gave up quickly; Max was hard to figure sometimes, but he sure was cute. Wait, did I say cute? I shook my head sharply. I'm still half asleep, I'm not thinking straight. But was so true.
