Journeys

Disclaimer: Don't own the Beyblade characters. ( If I did, I would keep Kai and Ray all to myself.)

Authors Note: I'm not familiar with the second and third season of Beyblade as where I live we just finished the first and are now mid way through the third. It's very confusing for me so I'm going to act as if there was no seasons after the first for this Fic, so please humour me. Thank you :)

"Talking"

"Thinking"

Five boys sat in a bus. Three were talking.

Well. The one was. The other two listened.

A boy sat in one corner. He , Kai, was the leader of the group that occupied the bus. He always took times like this to observe his team mates. He looked to the three and compared them. The talkative one. Tyson. Was the noisiest, rudest and hot headedest in the group.

He frowned. ' Was that even a word.'

His clothes suited his personality. Blue shorts and knee high socks covered the lower half (Thankfully in Kai's opinion). A yellow shirt peaked out from under a red jacket. Messy hair was covered with a red and blue cap. Brown eyes peaked out from under that mop of blue/black hair. Kai smirked. Messy posture for a messy person. He cringed inwardly as he remembered that morning at breakfast. He, Ray and Kenny had lost their appetites when Tyson joined them.

Next on his list was the blonde. Max.

A bubbly and hyper boy as ever there was. His green shirt and orange pants gave away the fact he was an American boy. Blonde hair bounced as he himself jumped up and down on his seat. Tyson had given him coffee again and now they were all being forced to suffer as he worked it off by annoying everyone else. Blue eyes sparkled as he turned and smiled at Kai. Kai shook his head.

' Suger high fluff brain.'

He turned his attention on the other. He sat in the chair across from Tyson and Max, typing as usual as Tyson talked. Kai grinned. Now for the Chief. Kenny.

He wore plain clothes and had a mop of caramel coloured hair that fell over his eyes. Like most computer lovers he had glasses. He was shy and easily scared. Kai smirked. But he could be bossy when he wished to. Even bossier then Kai, but unlike Kai he was soft so it wasn't minded by the others. Well except for Kai.

They were all different. His own attire was a black tank top and grey cargo pants. Black boots covered his feet. He wore red gloves with metal fins on the sides. A white scarf ended his own choice. His two tone hair consisted of slate coloured bangs that were spaced in the front and the back was blue. He purposely kept them apart. But one person saw them mixed. ' How couldn't he, we sleep in the same room.' Kai thought with a wry smile.

He knew they thought him cold. But they all reflected their homelands. His was Russia, cold and harsh. Tyson was Japanese. Though he didn't really show it. Max was your typical American boy. Outgoing. Kenny was Japanese as well. Technology was a must. Then there was their last member. A Chinese boy. A neko-jin to be exact. He hadn't understood the word till he met Ray.

Golden eyes, cat eyes, were the first thing you saw. His long raven coloured hair was also very eye catching. he had wrapped it in a white binding. It was like a cats tail. Sometimes flicking as he moved. When Ray smiled sharp white fangs made their presence known. He wore a white chinese top....' What had Ray called his outfit again?' Kai shook his head. His top had the yin yang symbol on the back. As did the bandana thing he wore. His pants were blue and he wore black shoes. A neko-jin. Kai had never seen one before Ray. He had found out after that it meant humanoid cat. It suited Ray. He was cat-like in everything. From the way he watched everything with a mixture of feline curiosity and wariness to his insistant need to stay clean.

Kai laughed to himself as he remembered when Tyson had 'accidentally' pushed Ray into a mud puddle. The neko-jin refused to come out of the bathroom till he was clean, all he while muttering insults to Tyson. Most of them belittling the others intelligence. Kai had almost broke down laughing when they had come back. Ray was covered from head to toe in mud, He looked utterly adorable as he growled and hissed in his fury. Then cursed Tyson for being born. Kai had been woken up that night to Ray's noises as he tried to get some unseen dirt from his hair. He had been sitting on his bed, with his long river of raven hair flowing over his shoulder and onto the bed as he went through every bit. Growling once in a while as he found a bit of dirt.

Then there was his love for anything that had dairy products in it. Kai had been amused when he caught the neko-jin as he went for a late night fridge raid. Ray couldn't deny it as Kai had caught him eating some of the vanilla ice cream.

Out of them all he was the only one Kai couldn't figure out. He could never out stare him. Nor could he stop himself from taking little peeks at him when he slept.

He looked behind himself to where Ray sat. He almost laughed to find that he had curled up and fallen asleep. Kai had to admit it was a clever thing to do.

' Maybe I'll join him..... What!... Did I just say that..' He fought the blush. ' I mean I'll also go to sleep. I didn't mean literarly join him.' He lay down on his three seater and started to doze.

' Well not now anyway.'

Kai sat up in his bed. He had that dream again. Why did it always come at the most unexpected times. He looked around himself. With a tired sigh he lay back down and closed his eyes.

' I'll think about it tommorrow.' He promised himself silently.
