Title: Past.

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade...would you believe me if I said I did?

I do not own the song in this chapter...or any of the songs in this fic really...

To my reviewers:

I challenge thee to figure out the plot to this fic. Who ever figures it out will get a fic written by me especially for them or I will put them with anyone they wish as a couple. So...have fun guessing. :Bows and leaves:

So...we're here...we're right outside of the hotel were my dad is staying...my Grandfather told me where it was and gave me a pass...he got a call from Tala who'd been told by Lee who'd been told by Emily who's been told by Kenny...yeah that damn computer nerd started a chain reaction that only took a few hours to get to my Grandfather.

Either way I have a way in...but I don't want to take it...I want to turn around and go and wait until the next flight home. Rei's standing there with me, holding my hand, it's kind of a good thing that he looks like a girl, no one is making comments about it.

Heart don't fail me now , Courage don't desert me , Don't turn back now that we're here

Rei holds my hand tighter and starts to walk to the building, making me follow, he walks across the road and flashes of my past flicker like a flame in my mind, the gunshot making me almost stop in the middle of the road, but Rei keeps me walking, muttering that it was going to be ok, trying to keep me happy. I can understand it but still.

I stop dead as we reach the hotel doors, unable to move a step forward.

"Kai?" Reis' voice sounds worried but I give no response so he tries pulling me forward, but I still don't move. "Kai, we have to go inside to see this man...remember what your Grandfather said...you should be..."

I hold up my hand to cut him off, "Shut up...please, I don't want to think about what my Grandfather said..."

He looks hurt slightly and then turns his look into stubbornness.

"Kai! You cannot chicken out now! Not after how long it took us to get here!" he snaps, I can't help but smirk, he looks so cute when he's pissy, "don't smirk like that! Now get into that hotel and give that key card to the receptionist. NOW!"

He moves behind me and shoves me forward, who knew he could get so stubborn.

People always say, Life is full of choices, No one ever mentions fear, or how a road can seem so seems long, or how the world can seems so vast, on this journey to the past.

Each step takes me closer to the desk beside the stairs, but each step seems like a mile to me, what if this man is my father? What's going to happen? Is he going to apologies? Act like a father for the rest of my life; give me and Rei a blessing when we get married...I've never had a father...how am I supposed to know how he's going to act.

I want to turn back...I have to...I just have to! : clenches fists: I'm closer to the desk now but I slow as the memory hits me again...the gunshot is louder...so loud...so...

"Hello can I help you young man?" I half jump, not realizing I was at the desk already. I slide the card onto to desk, not saying a word.

"Ah we got a call about you; I'll call him down if you wish..."

"No, I'll go up"
"OK, I'll give him the call to say someone's going up"

I nod and head towards the elevator, pressing the button. It's taking too long...too long...

I turn as someone screams, having had a bell boy spill their drink over them...the water dripping off of her. I tense up...the blood...blood dripping down her body...The door to the elevator opens and I step inside, watching them close once more as I press the floor button. I lean against the side and close my eyes. Fuck this...

Somewhere down this road, I know someone's waiting, Years of dreams just can't be wrong, Arms will open wide, I'll be safe and wanted, Finally home where I belong, I'm starting I'm learning fast, On this journey to the past

I wish the doors would open, I'm sick of waiting...I want them to...I want to get out of this small room...why couldn't Rei come with me...I need help you foolish...

No...I cannot bitch at Rei just because I'm stressed. The doors open and I step out, taking a deep breath as I remember the number of the room where my dads' room is. I hate walking down corridors...I feel like I'm in a horror film and as soon as I knock on the door a monster is going to pop out...I think I should hit Tyson for buying those films...they're giving my brain weird ideas.

I'm getting closer and closer to the room. Why did he have to get one halfway down the hall? :sigh: oh well. I stand outside of the room and take the stance that I used to when being addressed by my Grandfather, my hands behind my back and my head half down so I could watch them through my eyelashes. I reach my hand up to knock. But I stop halfway. Do I want to do this? I was happy thinking he was dead...

Oh fuck, I'm just going to get this over with and walk away. I knock on the door loudly.

One step at a time, One hope then another, Who knows where this road may go, Back to who I was, On to find my future, Things my heart still needs to know, Yes, let this be a sign, Let this road be mine, Let it lead me to my past, And bring me home, At Last.

The door swings open and I'm greeted with a woman half dressed, with long blonde hair, wearing a bathroom robe. With one glance I defiantly know that isn't my mother, but I look up. "Hello I'm looking for Mr. Hiwatari"

She giggled and turned back into the room and called a name. A man with blackish blue hair walked to the door, his eyes sliver but tinted crimson...He was taller than me, and was wearing a shirt and trousers, his fly undone. I met his gaze, a few more giggles coming from inside the room. If this is the right room...fucking hell.

"Hello? The desk called and told me some kid was coming to see me" he crossed his arms and leant against the doorframe. I could see about three women in there.

"Are you Mr. Hiwatari?" I ask, keeping a cold tone to my level voice.

"Yes, and who are you?" he asked, eyeing me up and down, as if suspecting me of something.

"My name is Kai Hiwatari," I pause and watch his half shocked look, "And if I am correct, I'm also your son"

He blinks, and mutters something in Russian, I only catch half of it. But I know he was cursing my presence.

"Look kid, you might be my boy, but you have no proof so if ya don't mind, I'd like to get back to my previous enjoyment" he says cocking a thumb back to the sluts.

"So...finding your son alive isn't as important as getting laid?" I ask calmly, wanting to hit this man in the face, "Well then you are obviously not my father"

"Look, I'm not exactly awake enough to register this...how about we meet here" he says handing me a card with writing scrawled on to it. "I promise to answer questions and see if you are my son if you promise to just go for now...I've only got these women for an hour and I want to make the best of it" he smirked like some dirty old man and closed the door in my face.

I've traveled from Japan to see this man and he slams the door in my face to get fucked...I hope this man isn't my father, then I can pound his face to the ground.

I turn and head back outside only to greet Rei with a cold face...feeling like ice. He noticed this and growled, taking the note from my hand. "And hour...fine" he muttered. I didn't mean to make him angry...I just don't feel like being my warm self...not at this moment.

I'm sorry Rei...

I hope people liked this? Well then I expect to see some guesses. Hehe.
