Kougra(boasting): Hey! This ain't so bad. I thought I'd be slower than
this! In chapter two the number stands for 'I don't know his last name.' If
anyone does please tell me and I'll fix it.
Shadow(Scoffs): Like she can ever own Beyblade.
Angel(Holding back his laughter): Now there's a funny thought.

Learning To Trust
Tala listened carefully as Kenny retold the events of the night he was nearly killed. Three months. Three whole months of his life he just wasted away in the stinking hospital. ~Oh well.~ Tala thought lazily. ~At least Kenny kept me company. Unlike others I can name. It was better than being at the Abbey.~ Kenny watched as Tala reread Spencer's latest card. Auzurl eyes darted from word to word; tears formed and fell as he read the last line outloud. "You might want to find another place to stay. Brian says you're off the team and Boris says you can't come back. Ian and I are really, really sorry Tala. We will and do miss you alot." Kenny turned understanding eyes to Tala.
"Gomen nesai." Tala eyed the younger male. Slender, good build, nice eyes, and a sexy voice. ~Bad Tala! Bad!~ How could he have thouhgt that way about his saviour!? He had no choice but to try to trust the brunette now that he knew there was nowhere left to turn. He'd fallen. Tala knew that. He felt it when he woke up that he'd finally sunk to a whole new low. Now the only way out of the hole he had dug for himself was up and he had the angel to help him on the way. Kenny.
"Were you really going to kill yourself that night? Would you have if you hadn't found me?" Tala asked not wanting to believe that even Kenny could go that low. There was a short pause before either of them spoke.
"The answer you want is no. But the one you're going to get is yes." Tala let out a soft whistle. "Do you know who tried to kill you?"
"Yes," Tala shivered at the memory. "It was Brian. He caught me sneaking out of the Abbey and decided to end my life because of it. He would have succeeded if you hadn't come along. I— Arigatou." Kenny was shocked. The revelation of Brian trying to kill Tala was too much to take in. ~Tala is no longer heartless it seems.~ Thought Kenny as he turned to face the window. The midday sun warmed his gentle features. ~Why is that?~
As if Tala could read his mind, there came Kenny's answer. "Mind control drugs. Voltair and Boris used mind control drugs on us. They thought it would last. They thouhgt they had perfect control of us. They thought wrong. I broke first. Then Ian who was followed by Spencer. I began to rebel but they didn't notice. No one noticed 'cause no one thought we would turn back into our old selves. Before Biovolt existed. Before anything ever happened to help create the Demolishtion Boys. We were good. Honestly, we were."
"I believe you." Kenny whispered softly as Tala's words sank in. Neither one heard the door open and close. Each were too involved with their own thoughts to even notice Kai was in the room. Kai watched Tala for a moment before growling deep in his throat. "Kai! You know yoou can kill your throat like that?" Kenny demanded lightly, his voice laced with humour. He was glad to see the man he regarded as the brother he never had growing up. His parents were always too busy for their son but Kai was always there. Always watching out for Kenny and the others. ~Always the one to wake the over active Tyson.~ Kenny thought as he smiled at the leader. Tala didn't bother to wipe the tears that flowed freely down his face leaving little red paths in his handsome features.
"Tala? You have one hour to get what you need done."
"Kai? What do you mean? Where an I going?"
"Home." Kai summed it up in one word. Tala flinched at the thought but before he could ask where he was going to stay Kai spoke again. "You can't go back to the Abbey, so face it you're coming to live with us and that's that." Tala stared in shock at Kai. Like Tala he use to be cold. Heartless. Ruthless. In a way he still was but he'd changed. He had someone to love him unconditionally even though it was a guy. He had his teammates who he regarded as true friends who would do anything for him even though he sometimes gave them a hard time. Tala didn't have that. Tala only had Tala and a beyblade with a bitbeast. "Any objections, Tala?"
"No, Kai. No objections." Tala replied. "Just a thank you." Kai snorted.
"Don't thank me. Thank Kenny. It was his idea to trust you and the team trusts Kenny's decisions. Just don't let him down. He was the only one who really cared whether you lived or died. Weren't you Cheif?"
"Yes." Came Kenny's curt reply.

Tala lay back in his new bed and stared at the celing. All of the BladeBreakers were going through all of the fuss of making sure he had what he needed; even Dizzaria was making an effort for Kenny's sake. All, that is, except for Tyson who had just spent the last three days moping around complaining about having to share a house with 'that' as he called Tala. Tala grinned from ear to ear. He'd seen changes in Kenny. Not big ones; but they were noticeable changes. He went from wearing black to dressing in multi-coloured clothing. The others were trusting enough toward Tala and he trusted them. A sigh of redemption escaped the red-heads lips. Every morning and every night he silently thanked both the Gods above and Kenny for letting him live and keeping him alive. He felt like he'd connected with Kenny whether he liked it or not. A connection that could only get deeper with time. For the first time sence he left the Abbey Tala felt strong. He felt alive. Powerful. And there was only one person to blame. Kenny.~Now if only I could get Tyson to trust me....~
That thought in mind, Tala made his way to the kitchen. The only logical place Tyson could be in a house this size. ~Either that or he's screwing that exceptionally hot girlfriend he's got.~ Tala thought. But he was wrong. Tyson was in the kitchen making a sandwich. "Hey, Tyson? I wanted to ask you something. That is if you don't mind?"
"Yea. Sure. What do you want, Tala."
"To be friends with you." Tyson nearly fell off his chair.
"You want to what?!?"
"Be friends." Tyson glared at Tala cautiously before speaking again.
"Why?"
"Why not? Look I'm tired of being enemies with you. 'Sides it'll give us time to get to know each other...and maybe even trust each other?" Tala explained with a growing urgency. Tyson's shoulders sagged as he gave into the auzurl eyes as they pleaded with his own gray-blue. Tala perked up and stared at Tyson hopefully. "Do ya like horror movies?"
"That. Along with food, beybattles, fast cars, girls, sleeping, and parties."
"Wow." Tala said simply. "We seem to level out on a few grounds."
"Yea? Which ones?"
"Beybattles, food, movies, fast cars, and parties." Tyson stared at Tala. ~Did I just hear right?~ He thought. ~Tala and I level out in some areas? We actually have things in common?~ Tyson couldn't believe his ears.
"What about girls?" He asked. "Don't you like them?"
"Actually... to tell the truth, Tyson. I have this thing for Kenny." Tyson's jaw dropped to the floor. Tala, cold, uptight Tala was telling HIM his darkest secret! ~Man! Maybe we could be friends? He seems to trust ME enough for him to say that!~
"'K. Let's go."
"Where?"
"The movies, Red. We're going to see Freddy vs. Jason. I've been dying to see it but can't find anyone willing to go with me."
Thank's to Kai(HHB) for the great flame I will take it into consideration and try to change it a little 'cause you're right there should be more there.
Shadow: No she won't.
Kougra: Yes I will!
Angel: Ladies! Ladies! Can't we fight this out later? I'm tryin' ta eat 'ere. Kougra and Shadow: EATING AGAIN!!!! YOU'RE AS BAD AS TYSON!!!!
Tyson(comes out of nowhere): Really? I didn't think anyone was as bad as me.
Shadow: Where did you come from?
Tyson: Somewhere. {Shadow takes baseball bat and hits Tyson on the head.} WHAT'S it with the head! {Tyson falls unconchess to the floor.}
Shadow: You're not Tala! I want TALA! {calms down} Hehe.... Please R&R?
Shadow(Scoffs): Like she can ever own Beyblade.
Angel(Holding back his laughter): Now there's a funny thought.
