DISCLAIMER: don't own. Not only beyblade but also the song.
A/N: OMG!! YAY!! AN IDEA!!! But… I'm going to cut something out so I can get to something quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suddenly, a scream pierced the previous peaceful atmosphere, and to many people near by the area, it sent chills over the body. The poor neko-jin never had a chance.
~~*~~
It had been about 48 hours since the terrified scream reeked throughout the town and currently, the raven-haired one was sitting on the hard floor, curled up in a dark corner, whispering inaudibly to him self. Suddenly the door burst open and in came Kai who had obviously been in a hurry. But the younger boy didn't do anything to acknowledge the second presence. Worried, Kai made his way over to Rei. "I'm back, Rei. I told you I'd be back. I fought that monster in me for you. Everything will be okay now. What happened?" As Kai kneeled down and embraced his koi, Rei remained still. His eyes emotionless, his body soul-less. Kai sighed as he heard a knock at the door, when he answered it he gasped, and then glared. "What are you doing here, Mariah?" he spat, venomously. She wasn't fazed by it at all. "I came to see Rei." And she pushed her way inside. Just before Kai pushed her back out she said quietly, "I know, Rei." And despite the fact that he seemed to be out of it, he heard her quite well. He looked up into her eyes and quickly back down. "Kai, please leave us to talk for a moment." Kai obliged, albeit confused.
Mariah sat down next to Rei. "I know, Rei. I know all about what happened. I know how you feel. I know how you are. I know you Rei. You used to be some good, but now your not. You've been raped, haven't you?" but there was no answer. Only tears that formed in those golden depths that held the answer. "You feel like a slut now, don't you? You feel used? Well that's what you are Rei. A tainted slut. And you know, no ones going to want you now. Especially not Kai." As he stared into nothingness tears ran down those sculptured cheeks of the miss-led boy. He didn't want to believe this stuff, but it was true. He was a tainted, dirty little rat. And why would someone like Kai want him now? "Face it, Rei," Mariah started again, "I'm really the only one who'll have you. And that's only out of my kind heart. I pity you. So, let's go, okay?" Rei shook his head, "But I don't love you. I DON'T LOVE YOU!!" and with that, he stood up for the first time in 2 days and ran out the front door, running past a stunned Kai on the way. Getting over his shock he quickly went into his room to ask Mariah what she had done, but she was already gone.
Rei ran and ran, not caring where he was going, although making sure to stay far away from any isolated areas. He was pushing past people on a busy path when he spotted a music shop just across the road. He normally went to music shops when he was feeling down because music helped cheer him up. So as he was running across the road, he didn't notice the car, skidding to try and avoid hitting him. And when he did, it was too late.
~ Woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static
And put my cold feet on the floor ~
Kai got a phone call; he answered it, all the while just saying 'yes' or 'no' or 'ok'. He gasped; his voice began to waver as he forced his tears to stay down, but when he hung up, he couldn't help it. He cried. "Why, Rei? Why did you run away? What happened? Maybe if you shared with me this would never have happened…" and Kai collapsed on the floor, his head in his hands as he sobbed away his accusations on himself. After taking a deep breath to get some stabilization in his shaking frame. Standing up, thinking something over, he grabbed his keys, locked the door and hurried out of the room to the hospital. 'I'm coming Rei.' He thought as he finally saw the big building in view. He sped up, determined to get there as soon as possible.
In the plain white room a young boy fluttered his eyes open to reveal dull amber orbs. "What's going on?" he asked a nurse that had her back to him. She turned around, "Oh, it's good to see you're awake Darling. You're recovering faster than we thought. You should still be out cold by the hit." She smiled at him; "So how are you feeling?" he frowned. "Shit. Everything hurts. What's wrong with me?" he remained calm through the questions. She sighed, "Listen honey, you have a lot of bruising from the accident and a broken arm but you have some other bruises that aren't… well, they aren't from the car. So we just need to do some tests and maybe… maybe some surgery. Nothing major but… listen, I'll tell you more when it's certain." Rei just closed his eyes again, praying for an angel. 'I'm going down in flames…' he thought sadly.
~ Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering,
I'm pretending to be what I'm not anymore ~
"I need to go to the bathroom." Rei stated, getting up painfully, with help from the nurse. Extremely carefully and slowly he made his way over to the small room adjoined to the room he was currently in. He shut the door, as the nurse waited just outside it. Suddenly, she heard a yell. It was Rei. "I'M UGLY!!" he was screeching. "I'M TAINTED! I'M A SLUT!! NO ONE WANTS ME! I'M UGLY!!!" he flung the door open and in his haste fell over. Luckily the nurse caught him. 'What is he talking about?' she thought. 'He is the most beautiful boy I've ever seen. He has no scars or bruises or anything on his face.' She thought it was such a shame that this boy thought so lowly of his self. Sitting back in the hospital bed Rei's eyes got teary.
~ A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake
Of the mistake slow to react ~
There was a quiet knock at the door, and Kai walked in. "Hey Rei," he said quietly, smiling slightly. Rei shook his head violently. "I'M UGLY! YOU DON'T WANT ME! I KNOW YOU DON'T!! YOU DON'T!" and with his spare arm threw a few random objects in Kai's direction although he dodged them all easily. The nurse looked apologetically at Kai, "I'm sorry," she said. "I think it might be better if you leave. Maybe come back later. When he's thinking more clearly." Kai nodded, taking a quick glance at the crying Rei, before turning on his heels and leaving.
~ Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back ~
The nurse came over to Rei and lightly laid a comforting hand on his shoulder, calming him just a little. "He loves you, Darling. He does. I can tell, it's in his eyes." Rei sighed. The nurse didn't know, Kai didn't know. No one knew. If they did… they wouldn't want anything to do with him. 'Let's face it,' he thought, 'I'm a reject.'
~ It's true the way I feel
What's promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you ~
