Hey! Sorry for the long wait but I'm desperately trying to bring up my grades in school… I can afford to fail, you see. But I'm back with a new chapter of Yule Tide Joy! Disclaimer.

Kai: no I am NOT saying this. ::crosses arms::

Rei: ::sighs:: then I'll say it. Demon Pale Darkness does not own Beyblade of anything that falls into that category cause if she said she did she could get sued!

All right lets get this story on the road!

Chapter 3: Christmas Past

Kai followed his teammate around the small town. All in all Kai thought they went overboard with the Christmas decorations. It was ridiculous. Every square inch of the buildings around the town square was covered in lights or some other form of decorations. "Rei is all of this really necessary? Can't we just watch some stupid movie and get this pathetic tour over with?"

"Kai Hiwatari! Stop your complaining! There in no way in the nine hells I am letting you off tonight! It's Christmas Eve. Get off your high horse and just enjoy your self!" The niko-jin growled angrily.

"Christmas isn't my best choice for a holiday I want to be out in the middle of a crowded town!" Kai snapped his hair blowing in the wind the full moon casting an eerie glow on his pale skin.

"Well, tough! Why are you like this every time someone tries to talk to you!?" Rei exclaimed his eyes burning with frustration.

"You want to know why?! Well then, I hope you have time because it's a hell of a long story so sit your ass down and get comfortable." Kai hissed leading against a brick wall in a deserted alleyway.

Rei blinked and sit down on the snowy ground not caring that his rear end was going to go numb in about ten minutes.

"When I lived in the Abbey in Russia we hardly ever had a Christmas. The owners never bothered with what made the kids happy that often. And when we did it was a terrible one… However when my Grandfather took custody of me I had a semi okay Christmas for a few years, until my only friend was murdered in front of me on Christmas Eve. At that time I was about twelve and you see I happened to be in love with that friend. When they were murdered I vowed never to love again." Kai retold his past experiences with the current holiday when he began to space out.

Six Years Previously On Christmas Eve

Kai was a happy child at the time talking with his friend as they walked down an empty street outside of the Hiwatari Manor. He looked over at the boy beside him. His name was James Isaac. Kai had known from the moment he met the boy that he was in love and they grew to become friends and closer until they were much closer than brothers. Being with James made him feel complete and utter bliss. His life was perfect as long as James was there.

"Kai you'll be here for me forever, right?" James asked linking his arm with Kai's playfully.

The blue haired boy smiled and winked, "You know it. Forever and for always"

"Hey! You two runts don't move an inch!" a deep male voice had yelled.

Kai and James froze in their tracks.

A tall man stood in front of them, "Hello, boys. Care to play a little game with me?" The man was clearly drunk.

"No. We'd rather not if it's all the same to you" Kai said in his always strong voice.

"Aw, why not? Come on, now, play with me!" the older male insisted pulling James away from Kai.

Kai's mind began to race. What would happen if that man ran off with James… Would he ever see his beloved again? "You leave him alone! Let go of him!"

"Naw, I think I'll have some fun with this pretty boy," the stranger smirked running one of his hands down to rest between James legs squeezing softly.

James let out a squeal.

"Hey! You stop that! He isn't your little sex slave!" Kai tried to push the man off of his beloved James.

"I don't think so!" the man snapped pulling out a gun and cocking it putting it next to James head. "Another move and he dies!"

"No! I'll do anything! Just don't harm him!" Kai begged falling to his knees.

"Heh. Just stay there like an good boy- YEOWCH!" he yelped when James bit his arm.

James drew a bit of blood before letting go, "Run Kai! Don't worry about me!"

"James… I wont leave you… I can't… I love you…" Kai cried.

"I know… I love you too… Run now!" James pleaded with Kai.

"Ok brat that's all I can stand from you!" the drunken man growled. "you die now."

"No! James!" Kai yelled and fell to his knees.

BANG!

And he was gone… The man left in a hurry leaving a bloody James next to Kai. His blood stained the pure white snow.

"No… wake up, James, wake up! You can't die on me… I promised you forever… James!" Kai cried holding James close to his heart. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Present Day

Kai noticed he had tears streaming unchecked down his cold flushed cheeks.

"Kai…" Rei whispered. He got up walking over to Kai and pulling him into a loving embrace.

Kai completely broke down crying uncontrollably on his cat like friends shoulder.

"It's alright… Nothing is going to happen… I promise…"

Okies! A sad sob chapter I know but that's what I felt like doing. Cause I couldn't think of any thing else! I hope this chapter was ok. Tell me is Kai was too OOC… R&R
