Tyson: Oh. My. God.

Kai: You're updating!

Rei: faints

Ketsi: Cut the dramatics. DBZHobbit has been bugging me with her…single…comment. So therefore…

Tyson: MY BIG PART!

Ketsi. Yeah. About that.

Kai: Please, just put him in it. He's even worse than DBZHobbit in the bugging field.

Tyson: evil glare

Ketsi: Beyblade is not, repeat NOT mine. And I honestly tried to win my soul back from Draco Malfoy.

Kai: heh heh. Except this time, he challenged her to a game of tic-tac-toe.

Ketsi: cringe I always sucked at that game! thoughts and flashbacks. Yes. More flashbacks. Bwah ha ha.

Tyson heard the door shut and opened his eyes. Is Rei gone? he thought. He listened for Rei's voice and heard silence. Kai wasn't making a sound either.

He could hear Max's voice in his head. He saw it over and over again, Max, falling to the floor, the bullet embedded in his chest. He heard him asking Kai why he did it. Tyson looked down at his hands. They were still sticky with Max's blood.

Tyson could hear himself speaking. "I'll…I'll kill…I'll…I'll kill him…" his voice was hoarse from crying, and his tears had dried on his cheeks. Tyson's imagination had gone crazy, and as he played back the scene in his head, Kai didn't care about killing Max. In his head, Kai was laughing.

Kai was thinking about the scene too. He was wracked with guilt and still shaking. He heard a noise and looked up. Tyson was standing in the doorway, the light behind him casting his face in a sinister shadow. He was muttering to himself. "I'll kill…I'll…I'll kill him." Kai's eyes widened in soft shock as Tyson walked towards him.

Kai wasn't to know it, but Tyson had the same dangerous look in his eyes that Kai had before an important battle. That was look that people recognised and feared.

Kai feared that look.

Rei led Draciel by the hand through the streets. This plan seems terrible now I'm here, Rei thought miserably.

"Where do we go?" Draciel asked. "Max is getting cold."

"Somewhere with security cameras."

Rei took him into a shop, but didn't realise where he was until he paused. "Oh…oh."

Kai had his hands over Rei's eyes. "Just a little further," Kai whispered. "Ok. Stop."

Rei pushed Kai's hands away and gasped. Everything around him glittered. "Kai…where am I?"

Kai smirked. "Pick one."

Rei wandered over to a glass display cabinet, filled with golden rings. "Kai…why did you…?"

Kai gave a genuine smile. "Marry me?" he asked.

"Oh…Kai…you mean it?"

"This is my serious face."

"This is…I mean…yes! Of course I will!"

Kai looked relieved. "Pick one. Any one. No expense will be spared."

"You're serious?"

Kai kissed him. "More than ever. Now pick one."

Rei had picked a gold ring with a ruby in it. He had said it reminded him of Kai's eyes. He looked down at it now, next to the gold wedding ring. He looked up at the security cameras. "We've been here long enough," Rei sighed. "Come on."

Tyson shook a little as he walked forward. "Kai…you killed him…"

"I know," Kai replied. "I'm sorry."

Tyson bared his teeth in a growl that would have put Driger to shame. "Sorry doesn't cut it, Kai. You killed Max, and I'll never forgive you."

Tyson glanced around, looking for something. He picked up the nearest object, which, unluckily, happened to be a thick, hardback book which he aimed at Kai's head. Kai ducked at the last moment. "Tyson, stop it! I know it was stupid! I'm sorry!"

Tyson gave an ungodly howl and leapt at Kai. He began to punch him and kick him with every bit of his energy. Kai gave little resistance.

I deserve this, Kai thought. I deserve everything you give me.

"Holding the Beyblade?" Rei asked quietly as they walked.

Draciel nodded. "We must hurry…I'm losing the power to move."

There was a tiny purple spark and Max fell to the floor. Rei choked. "Oh…oh Kami…"

A man rushed over. "What's wrong?" he asked.

A tear ran down Rei's face. Not again… he thought as he knelt down next to Max's body. He shook as he took his pulse. "He's…he's dead…" Rei surprised himself by fainted.

This time he's not coming back.

Tyson fell back. "Why aren't you - you need to fight me."

"I can't," Kai whispered. He was sporting a cut lip and bruises were already showing on his face. "I deserve it."

Tyson frowned, unable to comprehend this. He collapsed next to Kai. "What am I supposed to do?" Kai whispered something incomprehensible. "What?"

"Kill me."

Rei opened his eyes to faces surrounding him. "Hey, are you ok, man?"

"Y - yeah. Where's Max?"

"The guy who collapsed?"

"Uh - huh."

"The police took him."

"What?" Rei panicked. He needed that Beyblade. That was the only piece of evidence that Judy could do anything about.

"They left this though."

Rei's heart fluttered as he felt the hard plastic in his hand.

Kai: So…is that it?

Ketsi: I don't know! I just don't know!

Rei: Calm down.

Tyson: Look at me! I get to kick Kai's a… oh…

Kai: glareglareglowersnarl

Tyson: sweatdrops Erm…I was in it? Yay?

Ketsi: So…do I bother continuing it? I mean, I got the inspiration from somewhere to carry on with this.

Rei: And Crash shall never be updated. Ever.

Ketsi: Exactly. That is one discontinued story.

Kai: In the middle of beating Tyson to a pulp …I'll kill you, you neon freak! notices Ketsi and Rei staring at him Oh…give Crash to DBZHobbit. She might finish it if she's feeling nice.
