Tile: Past

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade.

A/n: It happened again…no reviews…oh well. Last Chapter peoples…

Every time I look back on that day, it makes me wonder how I got from that…to this, from a /kid/ to a man with a child.

It's been a few years now, Tyson and Max have been in contact with me and Rei for the better part of this year, mainly to see if we were coping with our adopted child.

When we got back…me and Rei had a few words about families and decided upon it…our little girl is great, how we got her, not so great.

Some woman left her with Mariah; of course Mariah couldn't keep a cat let alone a child. Hehe how I love my silent jokes. For the moment Rei's taken her to the shops, I'm stuck with the job of searching for a secondary school for her to go to, oh joy.

I sigh and look at the clock, two hours until I have to start dinner for Rei, he knows I can't cook, I'll only burn the food, but how the hell could I say no to those perfect golden eyes.

I sighed as I looked towards the pile of leaflets for the schools, with a glance I know none of them are ones I'll approve of, but Rei…he wants her in a public school, not a private one…that's where she belongs but I have no say in this, not this time…and if I tried to…well…Rei would get the upper hand. I smirk as I think about it and begin to look though the leaflets, this school is too pathetic, this one doesn't have decent education, this one has too many Math's teachers and not enough English…hmmm was I always this picky?

I sighed and placed them all down, about to go get a bag to put it all in, no point looking through this shit, then I saw a leaflet, one that had a gold star on it…oh damn this means she's been through the booklets, I sighed and picked it up, looking boredly through it, ignoring everything but the education standards and teaching staff.

Ugh this school was the worst! Why in the name of all that is good…Oh…I know why she chose this one. I spotted who was the Food Tech teacher, Oliver. Typical of him. Oh well, this school would do I guess, at least it had a few decent sounding teachers and only a few newbie's.

I put the leaflet down, Rei would approve if Oliver was in the school, hell knowing our luck he'll probably teach her to cook better than Rei. I hope.

I sighed, walking to the kitchen, smiling to the photo on the wall, Rei, me and Raeka, she looked a lot like me…or so everyone says. Her hair is light blue and red down the back, but we're unsure of how she got it that way, her skin is very pale like Rei's and her eyes are a light grey, her name means beauty and it fits her very well.

I smiled going to the oven and beginning to preheat the oven, wondering why we were having this weird sausage dish that Max had told us about, but it didn't bother me, well the name did. What in hell is toad in the hole anyway? It sounds like a sex position to me…

Either way, Raeka likes it apparently so she can have it. I sighed, hoping Rei would be home soon, I miss him quite a lot now, next time, I'm going to the shops with them.

Moments later I hear the door opening; and the happy shout from my daughter reaching my ears. "Dad we're home!!!" I smiled and walked out of the kitchen, just in time to be hugged by her, Rei walking behind her, smiling brightly, two bags of shopping in each hand, obviously she'd run ahead because he was out of breath.

I smiled and hugged Raeka back, kissing her forehead, having to bend down to do so, ruffling her hair before kissing Rei's cheek, ignoring the childish giggle that was let out before she rushed to her room, allowing me to be free to kiss my little kitty's lips, not letting him pull away until he walked past, to begin making dinner.

I smiled.

Hell yes this was a short ending and hell yes it leaves the story open but ya know what. I don't give a fuck.

Because the stories never over…is it?

Well Kai really said it all right?

I'm going to thank you all. This is the first checkpoint to my fanfic career ending, yup I'm soon hanging up my keyboard and moving on to proper fiction, I just have a checklist of fics I want to do/finish first.

Thanks people.

Love you all.
