DISCLAIMER: I do not own Beyblade.

A/N: This is a new story, if it is continued it will eventually be TyKa. I did have inspiration for this, but I seemed to have strayed .

LIAR

I wandered through the house half blind, though I knew my destination. I felt my way past the kitchen table, through the threshold and keeping one hand firmly pressed against the left wall I made my way down the corridor. I reached the door I seeked and thrust it open. My hand snaked out and flipped the switch, flooding the previously dark room with a bright light. I heard the following groans and protests and they almost made me smile.

I moved on, turning my back. I knew that the occupants of this room would get up soon enough with no more pressure from me. I moved silently down the hall and knocked on the next door.

"I'm up, I'm up already," a muffled voice called from within.

I smirked at this and continued on my way. I reached the third door; my door. I pushed it open silently, and crept over to the curtain. I thrust the heavy shades and then room was bathed in a warm glow. The first of the dawning sun's rays just barely shining through. I turned to the comatose figure on the bed, almost indecipherable from the bed linen he lay in. I pulled the pillow out from under his head; wincing slightly at the fistful of drool I got on my palm in the process. I ignored the snort of protest and proceeded to extract the blanket. I gulped when more of the youth's skin was exposed by my actions and shook my head in effort to free myself from such ridiculous thoughts; thoughts that were currently pilfering more and more of my sanity. I gathered my wits before they leapt over board and bent down and placed my hands under the mattress and then heaved with all my might.

"Aaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!"

I walked out of the room with out a backwards glance, pausing only at the door, "Time to get up," I threw over my shoulder. I could just picture the youth's face. The shock would be ebbing away and will quite rapidly be replaced with anger. I continued on the way all the way in my head I was counting down from five.....four......three......two......one......

"Kai!!!!!! Just you wait! You will pay dearly for this!"

'Right on time,' I thought as I entered the kitchen. I smothered my desire to giggle, as it is viewed as a very unkaiish thing to do, so I contented myself with a smirk.

"What happened this time?"

"I helped Takao up. That is all."

I turned away from Rei and headed to the stove. I heard the whispered words that followed.

"Yeah I'm sure......none too nicely I'm willing to bet."

I shook my head, they are such fools. Do they honestly believe I can not hear them simply because I turn my backs on them? No I hear their whispered words.....I see their passing glances and I can read into their seemingly innocent comments. I am no more a fool then they believe themselves to be. As I stirred the porridge I was making, I realised that sometimes they want me to hear what they say. Things that they are to cowardly to say to my face and must wait until my back is turned, before it dares leaves their lips. I turned my head as I heard the immature brat stomping down the hallway.

"Kai! How dare you treat me like that! You could have seriously hurt me!"

I ignored his rants and continued pouring the porridge into five bowls.

"Uh.......morning Takao."

"Hn."

I almost laughed that the expressions splayed on Max and Kenny's faces at Takao uncharacteristic response. Rei had his head buried in his hands.

"I made you breakfast."

"Oh no you don't! You can't just change the subject like that and tempt me with food. It's not going to work this time Mister.......Oh! Porridge yummy!"

I watched the other's faces, Rei rolled his eyes, Max's head dropped to the counter and Kenny twitched in disbelief. I always know my enemies, what makes them tick but then what good is getting them fired up if you don't know who to soothe the savage beast. I knew that this morning's incident was not forgotten completely but if Takao was distracted for long enough his anger would ebb away and I would win.

"Hurry up! Training is in ten minutes," and with that I disappeared back down the hall with my team mates protesting groans filling my ears.

A little while later I made my way outside but no one was waiting for me. "Oi! Get out here already!"

Max, Rei and Kenny came stumbling out, still bleary eyed. I looked past them waiting for Takao to appear in the doorway. The seconds ticked past but he still didn't appear. I focused on the three in front of me, "Where is he?"

"I dunno."

"Do not move," I ordered them and I strode past. I peered into the kitchen and Takao was still sitting there, looking expectantly at me. "Why are you not outside with the others?" I demanded of him.

"I'm not training today."

"What?"

"I know that you heard me."

"You will train, or I will take you place in the tournament."

"What?"

"I know that you heard me," I answered mocking him.

"Why are you like this?"

"Like what?"

"So cold. So mean. So......"

"Kai," I supplied for him.

"Yes"

I raised an eyebrow, "Well......I dunno Takao.....maybe because that is who I am....."

"Well being you must suck."

"Contrary to your belief I like who I am."

"Well that's great Kai, cause no one else likes it," he bit out.

I couldn't help the sadness I felt as the barb sunk in. Something must have shown on my face, because Takao gulped audibly. I forced myself to hardened my eyes and glared at him, 'You. Will. Train. Or. You. Will. Not. Fight. Do you understand?"

"Sometimes I wish you would just go back to the hell you came from."

"Well I wish for you to grow up."

"Screw you!"

"You are immature, brash, arrogant and rude. You are an embarrassment to Beyblade, to this team, and to me," and with that I walked away.

"I hate you Hiwatari Kai."

I grimaced at the shout that reached my ears. I stepped back outside into the sunshine and ignored the curious glances sent my way. I set them up to warm up and then divided them into scrimmages. I tried to concentrate but and I could think about was Takao's cruel words and the fact that I am such a liar. I haven't had a reason to be proud of much in my life, but one thing that I am proud of is Takao. I value my pride and although I protested being joined with the Bladebreakers, I now fell honoured to be called one of them. I may be the captain, the leader......but it is essentially Takao that keeps as one. And I went and insulted him instead of praising him. I don't want to face facts, I need him. I lied to him, to all of them.

I am such a liar.

I looked at my watch it was now ten in the morning, they guys had been training for hours and Takao still hadn't arrived and I was a mess. "Stop. Have a break. Don't come back until...." I hesitated, "Don't come back until after one o'clock."

"One o'clock?"

"Yes! Go before I change my mind."

The three of them took off, they whoops of joy resounding against the tall fences that surround the courtyard. I watched them disappear down the side of the house. I turned and made my way back inside.

I sat down on my bed and flopped backwards. I closed my eyes and groaned; I so needed to get a grip. I was falling apart.

Um........I don't know what to make of this.....do you think that I should continue it? This chapter was rather uneventful I know......Oh well if you do like it than please tell me. If not – I can't have everything right? ^^;;

Be safe
