Disclaimer: If I did own Beyblade, then Kai would be the star, and he would be with the demolition boys, and they would win every battle, and Kai would be with Mariam, not Max with Mariam, and Rei would be with Mariah a lot, and the list goes on.

Kai slowly walked down the shadowy, deserted streets. He knew this place was unusual to come to, that's why he came here, because he needed to think. Are King and Queen really right? Am I just like them? Am I a coldhearted beast trying to hide? Kai closed his eyes and hung his head as he sat down on a big rock. He thought of what King said…
Then he turned to Kai, fury in his eyes now. "You are no different from me…you claim that I am unfair and I am a monster? Well, take a look at yourself. Remember that…you are also a cold hearted beast!"
I was like them…at the tournament; I took everyone's bit beasts with Black Dranzer…Kai took out his precious black blade and looked at it. It was beautiful, yet it is filthy with darkness. It had no right to live at all, yet it is more powerful then the rest. It had a cold, black heart and a burning desire to kill. Is that how I am? Kai thought, gripping the black blade in his hands. Then he took out Dranzer with his other hand. Dranzer, on the other hand, was powerful, yet pure. He didn't want to rip others limp by limp apart, unlike his twin brother. Dranzer was good, and he was loyal, even though he didn't express himself much.
At last, he took out Surai. Confusion fell over Kai. Why did he have Surai? It was a mysterious gift, he didn't know who gave it to him, and it only says 'be careful with this' on the card. From what Kai saw of Surai, he was a harmless little boy with a heck of an attitude. How could he get out of hand?
Kai ran his hands through his blue hair and leaned back. I cannot go back to them, they probably also think I am a killer beast with no heart. They despise me, me and what I've done to them. Even if they don't, what if I become like Black Dranzer? The Dranzers are like the 2 little voices in my head: One good, and one bad; one evil, and one pure. Kai closed his eyes and pushed those thoughts away. He tried to blend in with the shadows. He sat silently and waited for a sign of which he can follow. There was only silence, forming a wall between him and the rest of the world…until…
…
Tap…tap…tap…
The small tapping of someone's shoes broke into the world that Kai was in.
They were footsteps. The person had no intention of hiding whatsoever. Kai slowly opened his eyes, and crouched lower so they couldn't see him.
"This is really pathetic, Kai…" the voice rang out, loud and clear, bouncing against the walls. The sound cut through the silence. It was Mariam. "Kai, I always thought you were more of a man than this, I mean, hiding in the shadows aren't going to solve your problem. And what did we do to you? You won! Why are you hiding in the first place? Kai!"
Kai senses tingled as he heard the very distant footsteps approaching. As silent as a cat, and as fast as a cheetah, he hid. But obviously, Mariam happened to have really good eyes, and spotted the movement.
"Kai, stop hiding!" She demanded and put a hand on his shoulders to stop him. He flinched, backing way from the hand off and gave her a cold glare.
"Don't come near me…" He whispered in a deadly tone of voice, taking a step back. Mariam blinked, surprised.
"Why are you being so weird?" She asked slowly, a frown sat on her brows.
"I am not being weird, I'm being what I am…didn't you hear them? I am just like King and Queen…I am heartless…I am deadly, and I am dangerous! Just stay away from me!" He said with great pain in his eyes, which disappeared. He looked away, not wanting anyone to feel sorry for him.
"You are not! Why are you believing in what King and Queen says?"
"Because…it is true…I AM a beast…"
"Ho-?"
"STOP TRYING TO ARGUE! You weren't here last year; you didn't see me with Black Dranzer! I took everyone's bit beasts and I was the enemy…I was evil!" Kai interrupted, and then looked down to his feet, kicking a nearby fence hard. His voice darkened and so did the shadows on his face. Kai leaned against the fence he just kicked. "Ask anyone, they'll tell it to you in detail…especially the white tigers…and if you don't believe them, ask my grandfather, ask the demolition boys…ask anyone…"
"Kai, I know you did, but that was last year…it was different, you were different…" Mariam tried to talk some peace into him.
"How would you know? You never saw the real me…" Kai answered bitterly.
"I don't need to…we all like you for who you are, not who you WERE," Mariam comforted. "Come on, the rest are worried."
"Ha…worried…about me? I defeated King and Queen with Ray and that's all they care about. Maybe after 2 seconds they'll forget who I am…" Kai laughed painfully and started to walk away. But Mariam came up to him and stopped him. Her fist unraveled and she gave him a slap, hard. Kai frowned, his hand reached up to feel the stinging red patch where the girl slapped him with most of her power.
"You're not going anywhere mister. Isn't it enough that you have friends that worry about you? What else do you want that you don't already have? Huh? Or are you just too ashamed because you THINK you hurt them? Wait, no they aren't good enough for you…is that it?" she yelled at him, keeping her piercing green glaze on him.
Kai was speechless. He touched the bit-chip of his Dranzer, hoping to get some answers. Dranzer said nothing; neither did Black Dranzer. Mariam's eyes softened. "I hope you have enough senses to go back to your team mates…" she said softly and walked away.
Kai made a fist with his hands and punched a nearby, abandoned car. He skinned his knuckles. Pain, it was his escape from reality.
Fool, Mariam was right…you are a fool Kai…Kai said to himself. The stinging of both his hands and his face woke him up and opened his eyes. He smirked. Then slowly made his way to the direction Mariam went.
You know what Mariam? I am satisfied with the idiots I call…friends…
Ryuki: Ok, that was totally pointless, but hey, its something, isn't it? I WAS going to make it more serious, but then again, am I ever really that serious? Nervous laugh well, when I AM serious, I get freakily serious and mean so…nod anyhow, even though this chappie had absolute no meaning, it doesn't mean u cant give a review…
