DISCLAIMER: I don't own any characters or Beyblade for that matter.

Thank you to all of my reviewers: Rumi-Chan, Vialana, I luv Kai, darkarc, Neko-Jin-V4, D. G., kiina, Lina the Outlawed Bomber

A/N: Uh - thank you to those who said what they wanted about the whole Max/Rei thing. It's four against one in favour of them being together, so I'm sorry Neko-Jin-V4 but you were outvoted. No worries though they won't be a focal point, and I think it's only be subtle hints - nothing major cause I can't write lemons all that well, at least not Max/Rei ones!

Also thanks to CrazyJen who has given me help in where I want to take this story and how to develop it. It's not going to be a full blown TyKa lemon cause like I said I can't write them but there are going to be hints and snapshots, I guess you can say. Enough for you to let your imagination run wild anyways ^_~. I hope that you like it and the rating will most probably go up at PG maybe Pg-13 but I doubt it'll go any higher ^.^

WHAT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW

I heard the laundry door open and I swung around instantaneously, my heart raced. My eyes fell upon.......Rei and Max. I felt my heart rate go down and I couldn't shake the immense feeling of disappointment that flooded through my veins and the sight of the Blonde and the Neko-jin. I plastered on my smirk and turned away again. My thoughts drifted off to Tyson again. I dunno what is up with me today.

"Let it rip!"

I turn to the cry and see Max and Rei facing off against each other. I watch them carefully; although I try to make out that I am ignoring them. They really are much better than they were when I first met them; when we were all just kids.

I had been so wrong, about all of them. I had been thinking about them a lot lately and I know that I have been repeating myself, to well, myself. I just can not get over how wrong I have been, how blind I was. I thought Max was just some bubble-headed blonde who had a tendency to eat too much, was way too cheerful and was always hyperactive. I had thought Kenny was a computer nerd, ok, so I was right in that aspect, but I hadn't realised how much I had come to depend on his information and analytical skills and how much he sees and understands. He sees things that I can't see and they are right in front of my eyes. I guess it's from all that observing he does with his wack laptop. I had thought Rei was the sanest one, and most of the time he is. But even cool, calm collected Rei can go mental occasionally. He was like me in a way, I guess, so proud. He had a lot of ties to his home, to the White Tigers. And Tyson, well I had him pegged as this loudmouth, egotistical, arrogant and brash prat, which granted he is, most of the time. But he is also extremely loyal and forgiving. I know that I never really thanked him for saving me from the ice and essentially from myself, but I am and always will be eternally grateful and I'll always be in his debt. And I think that deep down he knows that, not that I would ever admit it. I know that he doesn't always agree with me and more often than not he get into a huge argument about the stupidest, most inane things. But if there is one thing that I've learnt about Tyson over the years that I've know him is that he would walk miles for each of his friends. I know that he cares about us as a team but also as individuals. I can recognize the fact that he cares about me - I mean - he values my opinion, I know that he seeks my advice and my approval and I don't always give it to him. But I know that even though we have our differences, I would still walk all those miles for me, and that touches me, I guess I need him to do that - he is my anchor in ways. He'll always tell me when he thinks I am wrong, but I can tell that he has no qualms when it comes to trusting my judgement; as long as he too believes that what I think is true; despite his misgivings about trusting me.

I snap out of my daze when I hear the whir of their blades ceases. I refocus on the scratch match to see that it had ended in a tie. Both boys bent down to pick up their motionless blades.

"Man what is taking Tyson so long."

The laundry door creaked open and Tyson flew out in a whirl of red and yellow. He frantically tied his hair back.

"Sorry, I had to go get a ribbon," he said as way of an explanation for his tardiness.

"Here," I said.

"Oh......thanks Kai."

I held out my hand, baseball cap in toe. He took it gently from my grasp and smiled up at me.

"I had forgotten where I had left it."

"It fell off when we........fell."

"Oh yeah," Tyson blushed. He tried to smoother his nervous giggle, so in the end it came out as a half snort. He then blushed an even deeper shade of red.

"Right then, back to business," I paused and tore my eyes away from the Dragon, "Rei, Tyson match up."

Tyson made his way to the miniature beystadium that Max and Rei had just battled at.

"Prepare to go down."

"Oh yeah, eat my dust Rei. Driger and you are gonna lose."

"Whatever you reckon Ty."

I smirked at their harmless trash talk.

"Three."

"Two."

"One, let it rip," Tyson yelled.

I watched their blades spin, it was rather quite relaxing. I moved silently as not to distract them from their game. I didn't realise Max had followed me.

"Hey Kai, you know Tyson......."

I looked at him dubiously.

"Hehehe, of course you do. Well I was........"

"Oh my gosh, I am so so so very sorry that I am late."

We all jumped at the voice, yet we all knew who it was.

I surveyed the scene, it was perfect. Kai had turned to the voice, as had Tyson so now they were effectively facing each other. I know had to wait for the precise moment.

"Chief, were you been?" Kai said as he took a step forward.

'Now was my chance,' I thought to myself. I leapt forward, ran smack into Kai's back, effectively propelling him forward. It really was rather funny to watch; our collected captain thrash his arms around wildly, in a desperate effort to regain his balance. I watched as if in slow motion, Kai, fearless leader of the Bladebreaker smack head long into Tyson.

"Oof," breathed Kai as he landed heavily on top of his team-mate.

"Guys, where are you?" came Kenny's voice. "Oh, in the back yard already.

I looked over a Rei; he looked up at me a smile on his lips, his eyes dancing with mirth. I looked back at our peers, still in a crumpled heap, Tyson flat on his back, his left arm still around Kai waist from where he had held on in an attempt to steady him. Kai was just lying there, making quite strange noises; I gathered he was trying to suck in as much air as possible as he had just had it forcibly removed from his lungs.

"Hey guys, I was running over your stats," Kenny's voice was louder now, the laundry door opened, "And I think that.........ok am I interrupting something?"

~*~

A/N: Sorry it was so boring! Next chapter will be better - I hope ^_^ Maybe something to do with - um - Kai and Tyson - sound good!?! Hahaha -I crack myself up. -_-;;;

I also realised that I had forgotten to mention Kenny in previous chapters, so I had to write him in. Hope you like.

be safe
