Chapter 7 Past

6 weeks had gone by and it had come up to world tournament of the adult Beyblading. The team walked into the arena looking at the dishes and cages that where waiting for the tournament to begin. The Bladebreakers all hoped that they where ready this time for what the fights and battles would though at them, Kai had trained them but made sure they didn't push themselves too far as they did. Tyson had improved as had Max and you could say Rei had but he had become more snappy and his moods changed like the wind. The Team captain was the only one that didn't stand Rei's mood and got the Neko to train with the 2 weeks that Rei had been in Japan to train.

They looked round the stadium before they where ushered to the changing room, where they where given drinks and Mr. D made a prep talk that no-one really listened to. Tyson was focused on the battle and the fact Anna and Amy where in the crowd watching him. Max was deep in thought about something as was Kenny. Kai was trying to focus on the battle a head but part of him focused on the fact he would see Tala again after 6 weeks of phone calls and E-mails. Rei was trying the keep his cool he didn't feel that well, hadn't for a whole but had ignored it but sometimes his back would hurt him or he's stomach felt funny. A bell rang jolting everyone out of their thoughts, the bell was the signal that the start of the games, each team where introduced as they entered the arena, there was the Bladebreakers from Japan, Majestics for Europe, St Shields for themselves and the Demolition boys for Russia that was all. Many teams where still training up to get into this part of the Beyblade circuit. The Bladebreakers where called in and the battles where called out, revealing that 1 dish would be use at a time lengthening the games.

"the first battle is The Majestics against the Bladebreakers, followed by the St shields against the Demolition boys" called the Jazz man, the teams took their places the Bladebreakers on one side of the dish as the Majestics the other. "first the Physical fight" announced Jazzman as the cage rose from the floor.

"First is Kai verses Johnny" came AJ Toppers voice. A cheer went through the crowd as the Scot and Bluenet entered the ring glaring at each other, they readied themselves as the referee told them the rules before telling them to take their positions.

Kai's face frosted over his fighting façade had made it's appearance. Johnny glared before started to taunt Kai but ended up winding himself up as Kai didn't answer or react.

BRING

The bell rang and the fight began. Johnny charged at Kai who stood ready the two clashed grappling with each other. The Scot slammed a fist into Kai's face who reacted by kneeing him in the stomach before jumping over his and kicking the Scot in the back. Johnny ran into the cage, he stopped a second to get his breath before looking at Kai his eyes filled with rage before he went for Kai again but unlike Johnny Kai had kept his cool and reacted before flipping Johnny onto floor before sitting on his chest and holding his arms over his chest so he couldn't move.

"3...2...1...end of match, Kai Hiwatari is the winner" called Jazzman, Kai got up from Johnny and began to leave when Johnny called him.

"Hey Kai, if you wanted it like that I would have appeased you" called the Scot, Kai simply ignored the comment and kept walking but Johnny didn't give up. "I'm sure you'd enjoy being with me Kai, a real man"

Kai stopped before surprising the Scot as he began to laugh.

"get off your high horse Johnny, you a real man don't make me laugh so back off and go back to the bimbo's that are paid to sleep with you" said Kai sharply smirking before he carried back to his team.

"That was harsh" came Tala's voice as he came over to Kai before turning to Johnny "but I agree with the back off part and don't bother my boyfriend"

Johnny who was still in shock over Kai's comment hardly reacted to Tala's input before Oliver lead him back to the team. Tala turned back to Kai.

"you need to watch your comments my Little Phoenix for a cute mouth it can come out with some overly harsh things" said Tala. Kai shrugged before sitting down to watch the next battle which was Max and Robert.

"after the last fight the Bladebreakers are in the lead on 55 points to the Majestics 5, next is Max and Robert" called Brad Best.

The Purple haired boy entered the cage followed by Max both smiling slightly at each other before the fight began. Max and Robert fort well and the fight had been going on for 15 mintues so far, each side coming close to winner. Robert had got Max to the floor but the blonde had switched the position before the count was over, the same as when Max had got Robert in an arm lock but the English man had been able to get out of it. At the moment that two fighters stood facing each other with signs of tiredness apparent, Max swung his leg out low to catch Robert in the legs and it had worked but the purple haired boy fell forward onto Max who couldn't regain his balance and with the with the weight of Robert on top of him he fell and couldn't react in time before the count had been done. Robert was the winner, the English man helped Max up and they shook hands.

"you where a worthy opponent" said Robert before the two left the ring, the Majestics congratulating Robert as the Bladebreakers consoled Max.

"well the current score id Majestics 75 and the Bladebreakers 75, next in the ring his Enrique again Tyson" said Jazz man, the two boys headed for the ring, bowing at each other before taking their stance facing each other determination in their eyes, the bell rang and they moved. Tyson dodging and blocking Enrique's moves slowly wearing the Italian down before he delivered his own sequence of hits driving the blonde back before letting the Italian go again as he just blocked and dodged before he reacted once more this time swiping Enrique's legs from under him and getting him into a leg hold that he couldn't break.

"Winner is Tyson" came the call. "points after the Physical fights Majestics 95 and the Bladebreakers 125, can the teams ready themselves for the Beyblade battles" The teams moved to where the dishes where hidden.

"Can the Majestics make a come back or will the Bladebreakers take the points, stay tuned to find out" said AJ Topper as the commercial break came up on the TV stations that where watching, giving the team's time to get themselves ready. Kenny checked each of the blades over before they started.

"Welcome back, the first round his about to Start Tyson and Dragoon verses Robert and Griffolyon" called AJ Topper

"Will the Great Griffolyon stage a come back or will the mighty Dragoon keep them down" called Brad Best as Tyson and Robert walked up to where the dish would be revealed.

The two boys stood opposite each other watching the dish being revealed as the typical Beydish, they stood ready to launch their blades.

"3...2...1." Yelled Jazz man

"LET IT RIP" yelled the crowd, both launched their blades into the dish and circled each other before Tyson went in for the attack.

"Phantom Hurricane" he yelled creating the hurricane that hit Roberts blade but the older boy didn't seem phased.

"yet again with the hurricane, it's sooo predictable" stated Robert "finish him Griffolyon"

The English man's blade swerved out of Tyson's path and smacked into the side of him three times in a row, Dragoon couldn't keep his balances as the blade tipped, the hurricane hitting the side of the dish making Dragoon fly out of the dish and land at Tyson's feet.

"Robert wins" came the yell from Jazzman. Tyson was shocked and slowly bent down to retrieve his blade before walking quietly to his team, Max swung an arm around him for comfort as Kai glared at him.

"Next round Rei verses Enrique" announced Brad Best.

"can the almighty White Tiger bring the Bladebreakers a win or will the two headed Lizard win the day?" said AJ Topper.

Rei smiled at his team before going to the dish that was still the standard dish.

"get ready" said Jazzman, Rei and Enrique took their positions each smiling in greeting before they released their blades on the signal. Drigger and Amphilyon circled each other, the Lizard going to Drigger and started to knock him slightly as if playing, Rei puled Drigger away and made close circles around the blondes blade.

"not running are you Rei?" called the Italian as he ordered his blade to continue his little taps to annoy Rei.

"Come on Kitty we should make this interesting" said the Blonde to get Rei's attention before he sent Amphilyon into Drigger making the Tiger blade wobble slightly before regaining his balance.

"how about if I win you do what ever I want for a week no boundaries" said the Italian, Rei remained silent as the Lizard blade crashed into Drigger once more making it wobbled dangerously. "I can already see you one your back wanting me" Enrique grinned.

Rei's head sprang up as he glared at Enrique his eyes mere slits as his hissed.

"Never" he vowed before roaring "DRIGGER!" the great Tiger released his power the dish blowing up around the blades before he attacked the blondes blade and sending it out of the dish watching as it break apart as it did. "never think of me like that" said Rei calling Drigger back and stalking back to his team who congratulated him before leaving him to calm down.

Enrique picked up the remains of his blade and stared at them, the crowd was silent as was Jazzman until he recovered.

"Rei is the winner with a smashing Victory.....the next battle is Max verses Oliver"

The crowd cheered jolting the teams out of the funk they had fallen into after the last battle and the two moved forward to have their battle, the Blonde greeted the green haired boy who greeted him back casting a glance at Rei who looked like he was meditating.

"I guess Enrique must have said something" said the French man

"We'll find out later when he's calmed down" said Max before raising his launcher. "are you ready?"

"Certainly" smiled Oliver as he put his own launcher ready.

"LET IT RIP" yelled the crowd and Jazzman, as the two launched their blades into the dish, they clashed straight away.

"Draciel Defend" called Max as Oliver smashed into him, his blade wobbling slightly.

"Unicolyon" called Oliver watching as the beautiful Unicorn rose from the bit and charged at Max's green blade making it sway before she regained balance.

"Draciel" called Max, the giant Turtle rose from her bit and caught hold of the Unicorns horn as he had charged at her again stopping the Mythical horse in his tracks before Draciel flipped the other Bit-beast over to crash to the floor along with his blade.

"Winner is Max, and the point are Bladebreakers 145 and the Majestics 105, Next round is the Demolition Boys against the St Shields" announced Brad Best as the Bladebreakers left the arena to go to their changing room to prepare for the next fight. The Team entered the room Kenny turning Dizzy to watch the other fight for anything that could help the team, while he worked on Tyson and Max's blades. Kai walked up to Rei.

"what the hell was your problem out there" he asked, Rei just glared at him.

"Nothing" he replied.

"bullshit" said Kai "why where you that aggressive"

"when that blonde Slut said he can imagine you on your back wanting him then I'll see if you can keep your cool" growled Rei.

"that was no reason to destroy his blade" said Kai growling back glaring at the Neko, who glared harder back.

"Back off Kai I'm not in the mood for your shit" growled Rei before he stormed off into the bathroom, hearing a crash as Kai sent his fist into a locker in frustration but Rei didn't turn back but kept going until he stood at the sink and looked at his reflection that looked no different, he still had that young face that was meant to attract attention but there was something wrong. He was hungry more than he should be and little comments could make him snap or cry, though his team hadn't seen the crying side. A tear made its way down Rei's face.

"Why am I acting like this?" he whispered to himself before more tears made it down his face, he slumped onto the floor and let the emotion consume him starting slightly when someone rapped their arms round him.

"What's the matter Rei?" asked Kai as he brought Rei's head up.

"I don't know" said Rei quietly before he buried his head into Kai's chest, Kai held Rei through the emotional wave until Rei stopped crying that he got them to their feet.

"I hope you work it out and I'll be there is you need me" said the Bluenet "wash your face and then we've gotta go and beat the shit out of the St Shields"

Rei smiled as he turned and washed the tear stains from his face before preparing himself and walking back to the group before turning back to Kai.

"I think you should battle in my place, I'll be sub. I don't know if I'll do anything again" he said, Kai nodded his head in agreement. Both joined their team and walked back to the arena where Ozuma, Miriam, Joseph and Dunga where waiting.
