Disclaimer: I don't own anything about Beyblade, but if I did I'd be swimming in money for those things sell like crazy.
Author's Note: Okay, I started this fic about 4-5 years ago, long time ago. The fic was originally started by a friend I had at the time, Penalty-chan, so I must thank her for letting me carry on the fic after she lost inspiration for it. I've gone through it and changed and altered some of the spelling, punctuation and grammar, as I a lot older now and I am currently doing an course at college. So if interested read on.
Chapter 1
Perched high on China cliff top a young man, clad head to toe in smart attire, sat on the edge of the cliff. Above him a huge moon sat with millions of dancing stars around it. He clasped a photograph of a past lover in his hand. A slight breeze ruffled through his thick raven bangs and slightly swayed his tightly wrapped ponytail.
Taking a deep breathe in he remembered the last night they had spent together. They lay asleep on their sides, his lover's back facing him, curled up like a child together and breathing deeply. He couldn't help but curl up more to his lover and kiss the back of his neck, inhaling his aroma. He held in his breath trying to carry the memory of him with him.
With a loud sigh he let the photograph be taken by the wind. He watched it dance elegantly in the wind, then as it slowly become engulfed by the darkness of the night. He sat very still staring at the moon. A single silver tear escaped his eye running down his cheek.
"This is where my handsome husband got to," the raven-haired guy up slowly, rubbing his eyes and tears away, than span on his heels to face the woman.
In front of him stood a young woman, a few years younger than him, dressed in white smiling at him, while clutching a bouquet of flowers that complimented her pink hair. She walked over to him slowly, "are you all right Rei?" she noticed his eyes were slightly red.
He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. "you know how this wind blows stuff in your eyes," he raised his head smiling, although his heart was crying, "the wind does that sometimes to you." his smile was painfully fake.
The pink haired woman smiled and blushed, "well aren't you gonna escort your beautiful new wife back to our new house?" Rei couldn't help but laugh at her.
"You want me to carry you back? You have legs!" He chuckled and started to walk away.
She stomped her foot on the ground in annoyance. A frown was set on her features. "Rei you're so mean!" She crossed her arms.
He turned around and laughed again, "the Gods, Mao. I was only kidding," Only knowing too well that he wasn't. He turned his back to her and crouched down, "here I'll give you a piggy back."
Mao frowned. "Rei! That's not very romantic!"
"Come on Mao! Do you want me to carry you or not?" He frowned angrily.
Clutching her dress and bouquet in one hand, she wrapped her arms around Rei's neck, as he slid his hands under her legs and hauled her up on his back.
He spluttered as he choked out. "Mao you wanna not try choking me so much."
Mao realised she was crushing his windpipe accidentally and moved her hands onto his shoulders. "Sorry Rei." She apologised, blushing.
The two plodded, well one did back to the village were the reception was still going on even at this hour. It was one in the morning. Late or early, however you look at it.
"Hey Rei!" Yelled an ebony-haired guy, who stumbled over to the two as they entered the village. The guy wore the biggest smile ever and was constantly giggling to himself. "Hey Rei couldn't wait aye….tired her out all ready?" He winked stumbling over to the two and flinging his arms around both of them. "I love you both!" He paused, "Wow, I'm so wasted." He giggled.
"Um Takao." Rei managed to choke out. With Takao and Mao both wrapped around him, he couldn't help but pray that his legs wouldn't give way so Mao wouldn't kill him.
"Wow! You're like married, dude. God next thing Hiromi's gonna make me marry her!" He laughed again, suggesting that would never happen. "Come on Mao it's my turn to ride the pony!" He grabbed Rei's ponytail and tried to climb on Rei as well. Rei flinched from Takao pulling his hair wrap as he slid down slowly due to the weight of them both.
"Takao! You drunk cock, get off my ride!" Mao screwed at Takao while beating him with her now demolished bouquet.
Takao let go and slid down Rei's body and collapsing on the floor. "Fine I'll stay here. Maybe Hiromi will carry me."
Rei laughed. "Um I don't think so somehow pal."
"I'm too drunk to move. Damn you! Damn you both! It's your fault….ewwww the floor smells funny!" The couple just laughed at the wasted Japanese.
"Chief! Chief! Hiromi! Please….anyone? I've put my hand in something funny and I can't get up, I'm too wasted! Help?" They could hear him yelling as they walked away. Hiromi and Kenny ran past them. Kenny was clutching his laptop as usual.
"I'm coming Takao" Kenny shouted but Rei stopped him.
"Hey Chief have you got an email from Kai yet?" Rei asked, looking hopeful.
"Huh?" The short blader flipped open his laptop. "Nope he still hasn't responded yet. Sorry Rei." Kenny apologised and then dashed off as the whining of Takao became unbearable.
"Rei its okay, I'm sure he's fine." Mao whispered in his ear. Rei hoped she was right.
Reaching the safety of their new house, Rei whispered to his bride. "Hey Mao can you get off for a min?" Mao looked confused as she placed her feet on the ground. Rei then scooped her up in his arms and looked at her. "It looks better for our guests." He whispered in her ear.
Mao smiled as Rei kicked the door open and carried her in and placing her on the fresh new white sheets of their king sized bed. He walked over to the window to watch the crowd of people partying after he closed the door on them. There was an uncomfortable silence drifting in the air as he sighed, thinking of him.
"You know Ma-," Rei turned around to be greeted with the sight of Mao in her bridal lingerie. He swallowed hard as she walked seductively over to him, one foot in front of the other, and her hips moving in time with them. It wasn't that the female frame scared him; it was the fact that they didn't do anything for him.
"Um…Mao." He was stopped as she placed her delicate hands around his neck and pressed her bust against his chest, "Um…Mao." He pushed her away. "Mao we can't keep pretending for the rest of our lives."
She looked up at him and gazed into his amber eyes. The stare penetrated his very soul. "But we can always try Rei." She tried to persuade him.
Rei knew both of their hearts belonged to some-one else. "We've pretended for so long that we've both lost the thing we care about the most. It's killing me. I don't know about you?"
"So you'll betray our every tradition just to be with him?" She turned away and clasped her hands together, she lowered her head. "At least you have more guts than me." She sighed.
Rei walked in front of her, tipped her chin up, then grasped her arms, and hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head. "I'm sure Rai is outside watching the house. You still have him, so don't waste our wedding night."
She hugged him back, snuggling into his chest. "Thank you Rei." She sniffled.
"You've been a good friend Mao." She looked up at him and kissed his cheek.
Rei unwrapped himself from her and took a few steps back. She was shrouded in the moonlight that he seeped into the house. He thought if he was younger he would have taken her up on her offer, but he was different man now. He picked up a rucksack that had some clothes in it and looked at Mao one last time before walking out the door closing it behind him quietly. Using his neko-jin stealth, he left the tiny village knowing he would be banished from doing so.
Not much to say here as I've said a bit above. The title means "I'm very sorry, who are you?" If I remember rightly. I've used the original spellings of the names. Other characters will be making an appearance in later chapters. So nothing more to say hope you enjoyed and intrigued to see what happens.
