I'll be using their Japanese Names here instead of their dubbed ones. So if I get them wrong, please tell me. There is a lot of OOC-ness, so don't blame me if they act weird. Of course there is YAOI/YURI, so just a warning. Also, Takao has been turned into a girl. Don't worry; our little Ty-chan will turn back in the end!

Pairings: TyKa, MaRa, TaBy, HiKe, EmMa, MiLa, D/D, D/D and much more!

Disclaimers: Sadly… I don't own Beyblade or its characters. This is just a fic made by own fanfare and musing.

Spreading Wings
Chapter Five: "Reunited Guardians"


He frowned, cursing himself for not concentrating on winning the match. He let Yuriy fight mostly the whole match, and yet, they lost. The older red head glared at him, and hissed his disappointment at him. Kai let himself fall against the wall, and leaned his head on it, closing his ruby eyes. He clenched his hands into a fist, and let his body shake with anger and confusion. 'I don't know what's going on anymore, and I hate it! Who is that girl, and why is she bothering my thoughts? And why does he hunt my dreams more, now?' He gritted his teeth, and slowly opened his eyes. "I need air." He said lowly to no one. Then he let his figure disappear among the halls.
It was like a race. Max was able to order fifty hamburgers, and now he and Ty were having a contest on who eats more than the other. Rei watched, barely finished with his first one. He laughed, remembering about the past, how the two were always like this, all hyper and bubbly.

Ty quickly grabbed the last of the burger, and nearly swallowed it whole. She slammed her hands down on the table, and got up in victory. "Ha! I won!" she pointed at the blonde. Max grinned widely.

"You never cease to amaze me, Takao-kun." He mused.

"I guess things never change, ne?" Rei chuckled. Ty sat down, staring at the two contentedly. 'These two… they are my closest friends… I'm so glad… I'm starting to remember them.'

Max stood up. "C'mon, let's walk around, eh? We haven't seen that much of the city." He suggested. Rei and Ty both nodded in agreement. The blonde helped the blunette from her seat, and then took Rei's hand in his. 'I need to tell her… then everything will go back to the right start, and we can all be happy again…' Rei told himself and squeezed Max's hand.


There were sounds of taping echoing through the quiet empty halls. Kai blinked his eyes, think that he was the only one left with in the building, but he was wrong. After his distracting match against the BBA Revolution, he thought of coming back to the stadium to probably train and punish himself for his defeat. He didn't want to face his team until tomorrow morning when they are on the plane to Brazil.

He was walking stealthily through the halls of the dimly lighted building. He figured that not many people would want to stay, because they'd all want to go sight seeing and such. He neared the lighted room that had the door open widely for him to hear the tapings quite clearly and loud.

Kai neared the door and saw one person alone in the room, with their back facing him. He recognized that person as Kyoujyu, the genius in the BBA Revolution, and the opponent who defeated him in their match. He turned away from the door, and leaned back on the wall with his eyes closed. 'What am I waiting for? Why am I here, I should go to the stadium and train like I said I would.'

"Huh? That's strange."

Ruby eyes blinked open and his ears perked in curiosity.

"Dizzy… what is it I'm missing here?"

"Okay, Chief, I'll tell you, but only once, because I have to explain everything again when the four are together."

"So… the Seal, as Dragoon have said, was supposed to be guarded by the Holy Four Beasts of Wind, Fire, Water and Earth. Through the years, the guardians were extracted from their positions, and people here on earth worshiped the four as their Gods. Then they used the four as fighting spirits to protect their lands from the Darkness…"

"Yes, they were dark soldiers that were able to escape from the Seal, called Shadows. The Seal is mainly there to keep away the bigger powers that rest dormant in it. So the people who were chosen by the Four Beast became Guardians, using the powers of the Holy Four to fight against the Shadows. Then the powers would be passed down through generation, preferably through the families of the chosen."

"Coincidentally the meeting of the Blade Breakers ties into this. Funny." There was a chuckle. "So the powers are passed to a new generation, to Max, Rei, Takao and Kai."

"Yes… but know also this Kyoujyu-kun. Our Light from our world was the one who used all his powers to create the Seal. He passed away, knowing that one day he will come again, when the Seal is broken, and so that he can fully rid the universe from the Darkness. Unexpectedly, the Light was reborn with in also the Guardian of Wind."

"And we almost lost that Light…"

"Oh no!" There was a flash of light, and a sharp sound.

"Eh? D-Dizzy?"

"What? Never thought I can come out in this form? Don't you think I'm cute? I can't believe I'm finally out of that little box."

"Um…"

"What? Since the Light is back, I can come out this way, okay? Plus… I sense he is in trouble."

"Who?"

"Takao-sama."

Ruby eyes widened at the sound of that name. His heart froze, and he couldn't move. Listening to what has been going on, he has become totally oblivious to what was going on. He didn't understand what they were conversing about, but at the mention of Takao's name caused his emotion to become haywire.

"Kai?"

The duel haired Russian blinked out of his state, and looked at the shorter bespectacled boy. Kyoujyu tilted his head in surprise. Kai looked up and saw an auburn haired woman in her early twenties. She had short hair that flipped out in layers and in style, with shining emerald green eyes. She wore a robe with many shades of green and brown that was very unordinary. What was even odd was her reddish brown fox-like ears and puffy matching tail from behind her. Kai was in surprise that he couldn't move in a usual sight.

The woman smiled widely, and neared Kai, who looked to be the same height as him. "Come out. We are in deep trouble, and I know you've sense it for some time." She said with a raised brow. Kai glared at her.

Suddenly there was a flash of light, and a boy, who looked to be around ten years of age, appeared. He had messy crimson hair, with streaks of gold. His eyes were a fiery color, and he had fiery wings sprouted from his back. Kai stared at the boy who stood before him in even greater shock, but his icy mask hide that emotion, but it was present with in his eyes that the others seemed to not notice. "W-who…"

The Auburn haired woman smirked at the little boy. "Dranzer… finally good to see you again, after all these years." She said in a soft melodic tone. Kai stared at them. 'Dranzer?'

The fiery haired boy looked up at her, with an empty expression that seems to mirror his masters. "Dizzara?" His voice was faint, yet deep.

Said Dizzy smiled widely and grabbed the small boy's wrist. "C'mon, our Light is in trouble, and they need our help." Then she took off running with the winged boy.

Kyoujyu sweat dropped, then looked at Kai, suddenly feeling awkward. "Let's go follow them. I'll try to explain everything, Kai, once we have everyone together. Just know that the fate of our world is in danger and we need you." The duel haired teen just kept on staring with empty orbs, and Kyoujyu felt a bit uncomfortable. Then after a few minutes, as Kai processed what the younger teen has said and what happened in that conversation they had before, and let it register in his head, he nodded and the two ran after their running loose Bit Beasts.


"Do you remember that time when we went to the beach together, we played in the sand and you got bitten by a crab because you were poking it with a stick?"

Ty blinked her chocolate eyes, and giggled a bit. "Really?"

Rei laughed. "I remember. Then you picked up the crab and threw it at Max, and the crab was clinging on to his shorts." Max pouted at the memory, and blushed with embarrassment. "It was funny, but I remember that priceless expression you had when the crab bit you, Takao-kun." Then the three laughed. They were sitting on the grass of a park they have stumbled upon. They stared at the ocean view that was a few miles from where they were. They had a beautiful view of the setting sun into the horizon and behind the ocean.

Ty smiled. She really enjoyed spending the day with her two best friends. They were talking about the good times they had in the past, and she felt all happy inside. But she couldn't let go of the haunting past they was clinging in the back of her head. At first, she felt like she couldn't be around with the raven-haired Chinese. But, little by little, she was slowly trying to let go of that part of her past. Then again… she still felt hurt and confused. "I… I think I remember that one day… we all fought and was all mad at one another…" she said in a tiny tone.

Max and Rei looked up at each other, and felt a bit worried. Ty lifted her head and closed her eyes to feel the wind wrap around her. "Hiromi-san felt the need to do something, so she set up a barbeque and we… all made up."

"Yes, that's right. We had fun after, and that's when we first met with Team Psychic. You remember them?" Max asked carefully, hoping that the bluenette would remember. He couldn't help but feel hopeful that they can maybe bring back the old Takao.

Ty furrowed her brows. "I…"

"It's okay, you don't have to try so hard, Takao-kun. Sooner or later you will remember, and we are there to help you." Rei smiled at her, and Ty felt assured by what he said. 'Rei… he isn't so bad… but then why do I have this feeling that…'

"Ah!"

Rei and Max became alarmed, and quickly went to her side. Max took the small girl into his arms and cradled her. "Takao-kun, what's wrong?"

Ty reached out and grabbed Rei's shirt, wincing in tremendous pain. "…I…I don't… know!" The raven-haired teen frowned, as worry overcomes his emotions. "I see… I see them… it hurts… I feel them hurting me…make them stop!" She cried out, tears falling from her eyes.

"Who is?" Max cried, biting his lower lip.

Rei gasped, and looked at Max. "Max… could it be Takao's parents…?" Max's eyes mirrored that of Rei's, and he tightened his hold on Ty securely. Then he felt something warm and thick on his hands, and lifted it to see a crimson substance on his fingers. He gasped and looked down to see the girl bleeding around her back.

"Oh my gosh, Rei! Do something!"

"I don't know what to do!" He replied, taking Ty's hand, looking for away to stop the anonymous bleeding. There was a sinister laugh before them, and they looked up at the recognizable team of Ala Di Nero. Rei and Max suddenly narrowed their eyes. "What do you want?" Rei spat, with a low growl or anger.

Zero, the leader of the Italian team, smirked. "So you can't help the poor Tenshi? Then why don't you give her to us, and we will heal her pain. You Guardians have already failed on protecting her. Give others the chance of 'protecting' her."

Max protectively held the small girl closer to him. "No way! She isn't going with anyone! I bet it's your fault she is hurting!"

Another member of the team closed his eyes, and placed his hands on his hip, shifting his weight. "No, we are simply helping her speed up her memories of her past… especially her dark days."

"Make it stop you bastards!" The raven-haired teen carefully eased off the girl's grip on him, and he stood up in front of his boyfriend and Ty.

"Or you'll do what?" Another member of the team raised a brow in amusement.

Rei stuck his hand into his pocket and got out his Beyblade. "Drigger, I need your help!" He called out desperately.

The Ala Di Nero laughed out loud, making Max and Rei glare at them more. Zero tugged on a string around his neck, and pulled out a glowing crimson stone. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but you can't summon your beasts. This is a ward to prevent any of you on calling your beasts out. You're all powerless, so you might as well give the Tenshi up."

"No!" Max yelled angrily. He felt Ty pull the blonde closer, and she buried her face into his chest, and wincing in pain. 'What can we do?' He looked at Rei's back, hoping for something good to happen.

The member of Ala Di Nero, Sean, bent on one knee, and touched the ground. Suddenly wood vines sprouted from the ground around the three, and wrapped around them, bounding their arms and legs from any movement, suspending them from the air. Max suddenly became fearful, seeing the bluenette apart from him, wincing in pain. Blood was sipping from her anonymous wounds, trailing down the vines. "Let us go!"

Zero walked up to the three, who were struggling to get free (save for Ty). He smirked, and looked at them pitifully. "And these are the so called great Guardians of the Light? You guys are pitiful. You can't even use your powers just because of a little mishap in the past won't let you four bond your powers." He started to laugh in an eerie tone, sending shivers down the three's backs.

The tallest member looked at his leader. "Zero, why don't we get rid of the Guardians? They are very vulnerable and powerless." He suggested.

Zero's eyes glinted. "Sure why not. After you." He backed out, and let the other three members of Ala Di Nero step up, nearing Max and Rei.

Max tightly closed his eyes. 'I'm sorry Takao-kun, I couldn't save you… again…' HE slowly opened his eyes and looked at the raven-haired teen that was still struggling to break free from the tight vines. 'Rei-koi…'

"Don't give up yet, Max-chan." Rei gritted through his teeth. "We can still save Takao-kun." He pulled hard with his arm to somehow break the vines.

Ty watched the determined Chinese teen, with empty eyes. She saw the helplessness washing over Max's face, but he was still hopeful for some miracle to happen, and silently supporting his boyfriend. Ocean blue eyes looked into her chocolate ones, and she saw the reassuring – yet hesitant- smile on the blonde's lips. "Don't worry… we can get through this all right."

"That is what you think!" The tallest member of Ala Di Nero flared in a dark aura, with a ball of energy gathering into his hands. "Great Calamity!" He thrust forward his hands, and released the power straight at the restrained teens. They were engulfed into a bright light, yelling out for the incoming pain.

When the explosion and light died down, the uplifted dust surrounded the area. Soon in cleared, and the three teens were free from their restraints, with the vines cut loose. Max popped his head up and looked around confused. "What… what happened?" checking his body for any wounds from the great blast.

"S-someone must have saved us?" Rei blinked also in surprise. Ty looked around also in the same state as her two friends, but she winced lightly from her own wounds. 'I could have sworn we were done for…'

"Takao-sama… Someone with power is here to help us." Ty heard her bit beast said to her, as she looked around for their savior.

Zero narrowed his eyes. Then there was a sharp sound, and he looked down to see the red stone shatter into pieces. "What?"

Three flashes of lights appeared, and Ty, Max & Rei looked up at their bit beast glaring venomously at the enemy team. Drigger growled, baring his fangs and claws. Draciel was in a defensive stance, ready to protect their masters. Dragon was in an offensive stance, his eyes glaring deathly at them.

"Who… who did that?" Questioned Max, as he neared Ty, and cradle her into his arms in a protective way. "Are you okay, Takao-kun?" The blunette smiled softly at the blonde and nodded.

There was a chuckle, and the three teens turned their heads. "Honestly, you are supposedly the Four Holy Beasts, but you seriously can't do anything without me there to save your behinds." There was a fox like woman, with reddish-brown hair, and with a strangely familiar mocking voice. Beside her were boy with crimson hair and many shades of red. Behind him was a pair of fiery-feathered wings.

Then two running figures came running from behind them, and max and Rei's expression brightened at the recognizable bespectacled boy. Kyoujyu stopped in his tracks, beside the woman, bent over trying to catch his breath. "God Dizzy… you could have waited… for me… or at least slowed down a bit."

"Kyoujyu-kun!" Exclaimed Rei and Max in unison. Ty lifted her head, and smiled widely. The brown haired teen blinked his eyes, and stood up straight. He waved bashfully at them. Then Ty gasped, as he saw the second figure walk up to the shorter boy, with a confused look. That is when their eyes met, and everything around them suddenly disappeared. Ty clutched her heart area, feeling it beat loudly between her ears. 'Wha-what's going on? Why is my heart beating like this?'

"Kai…"

"Isn't this perfect? We have all the Guardians here with us now. Makes our job much easier." Zero spoke out, bringing back the blue haired girl back to reality. Zero lifted his hand, and a ball of energy gathered within his palm. His three other teammates all went into a fighting stance, and four flashes of black lights appeared, revealing four monstrous beings.

Dizzy's ears flattened close to her head. "Not good…"

Kyoujyu looked up at his bit beast in question. "Why? What are those?"

The taller woman looked down at her master. "They are beasts from the Seal, which isn't good…"

"They are much stronger than the shadows, but… it's odd how they will answer to mere mortals." The red haired boy replied.

Zero smirked. "It's too late. We will open that Seal, whether you like it or not. And to do so, you have to give us your Tenshi!" The four black bit beast lashed out towards them, and the now five Bit Beast pushed forward to defend their masters. Kyoujyu ran towards the three on the ground, with Kai silently trailing behind, and standing a few feet away from them. Draciel spread out her arms wide, and a barrier was placed between the young and clueless teenagers and the fight.

"Are you guys alright?" Kyoujyu knelt down beside them, inspecting them. He gasped seeing the blood stained clothing of the blue haired girl. "What happened to Ty-san?"

Rei shook his head, furrowing his brows. "I don't know. She was suddenly having pains, and memories of… then she started to bleed."

Kyoujyu frowned as well. "Just like before, but now she starts to bleed? How can that be? Is she in some kind of spell that allows her to remember those times when she was with her parents, and also re-experiencing her past pains?" He thought to himself out loud.

"Kyoujyu-kun, you seem to understand this all more than we do." Max clutched on to the umber haired boy's sleeve. "Draciel and the others said that they couldn't explain to us what is going on, unless we have all the Guardians." The blonde then glanced up and gasped to see Kai standing there. "K-Kai!"

The duel haired teen stared blankly at them. Rei stood up, his expression unreadable. "Kai… you may be as confused as we are, but you need to know something…" The older teen's expression was vacant, with no sign of listening or understanding.

"Ah!" Draciel fell, and then the barrier around them broke. The five became fully aware of this and panicked, as one of the Ala Di Nero members came walking up to them with a fist full of dark energy.

"Oh no you don't!" Dizzy quickly knelt down to the ground, with her hand sinking into the ground. Then green vines grew from the ground, and wrapped around the guy, just like how Max, Rei and Ty were a while ago. The vines also grew out form beneath the other member of Ala Di Nero and restraint them from movement. Drigger tackled two of the bigger monsters, while dragoon enclosed his opponent in a swirl of razor winds. The red winged boy snapped his fingers, sending one of the monsters into a deep fry of fire.

"Damn you all! This wasn't supposed to happen!" Zero growled, trying to break free form the vines that held him.

Rei walked up to the leader, and glared at him with piercing golden eyes. "Tell us why are you after Takao." He growled in a low and dark tone.

"I told you, to use her to open the Seal, what else?" He smirked in a taunting expression. Rei closed his hands into a tight fist, lifting it up in great anger. Before he could punch the light haired teen senseless, he was stopped with a pair of hands holding him back. He looked over and saw Kyoujyu with a determine look in his eyes.

"Don't Rei-san. It's not worth it." He said in a steady tone. Rei relaxed a bit, and watched Kyoujyu stand beside him. "Listen… I can tell you guys aren't doing all this in your won free will. Tell us, who is it that sent you. I know there must be a catch for you to get those kind of 'Bit Beasts'."

Zero chuckled. "You're quite the little brains, aren't you? Then you will know that you're all too late in trying to bond all of your powers. If our 'Bit Beasts' were able to escape the Seal, just imagine what else might have escaped, after three years it was opening…" suddenly his eyes widened, and so did the other members of Ala Di Nero. Rei and Kyoujyu narrowed their eyes, and saw that they were all staring at one spot, with fear written all over their faces.

They turned around and saw a young man dressed all in tight black clothing. He had flowing hair, with bangs covering his narrowed blood red eyes. And behind the black figure, was a pair of black demonic wings. The five Bit Beast gasped at the young man, and the monstrous 'Bit Beasts' vanished into ashes. The black man slowly landed to the ground, and he stood on his two feet.

The taller member of the Ala Di Nero shook his head. "No, please Master. We tried, and we didn't say anything, I swear!"

The 'Master's' eyes widened and his pupils became slits. Then the pleading teammate glowed in a dark aura, before bursting into ashes. The others trembled in great fear. Rei and Kyoujyu were also terrified, backing away slowly. The black figure lifted his hand, with his palm up into the sky. He slowly curled his fingers, then the rest of the member of Ala Di Nero disappeared, and the green vines dropped to the floor lifeless.

Snapping out of their shock and terror, the five Bit Beasts quickly got up and ran in front of their masters, to protect them. Rei stood in front of Ty and Max, still on the ground, clutching on to each other in fear. Kyoujyu was trembling, slightly behind the raven-haired teen. And Kai was standing behind the group, frozen just like everyone is.

Dragoon narrowed his blue eyes, and bravely stepped forward. "Y-you were the one who controlled them?" The black man closed his blood red eyes, and turned around. He spread his demonic wings, before disappearing into thin air.

When that guy disappeared, it suddenly felt like the air around them was no longer tightening, and they were able to breathe calmly. Dizzy furrowed her brows, and went into a deep thinking pose. "This is so not good… We have Shadows, the Dark Beasts, and now the Demonic Agents. This is really, really bad."

"Then the Dark Lord will awaken soon." Draciel said in a shaky and worried tone. "What are we going to do?"

"Bond their powers."

They all looked up at the newest member of their circle. Draciel's eyes brightened, suddenly realizing her two long time friends. "Oh my gosh!" She threw her arms around the young bit beast, squeezing him tightly in her embrace. "Dranzer! You finally came! That means we are all together again!"

Drigger sweat dropped and placed a hand on the violet haired bit beast. "Please Draciel, let him go. I think you are chocking him." The purple haired teen released the red haired boy, with his fiery eyes glaring at her. She laughed nervously, and then latched herself on to Drigger's arm.

Dizzy sweat dropped at the purple haired girl's usual genki tactics. "Anyways, I think Dranzer is right. They have to bond their powers." Then all five Bit Beasts looked at their masters with questioning gazes. "If they bond their powers, then there is a chance that they won't take the Light and we can fight the Darkness in the Seal."

Max looked down at the girl, as she sat up. "Are you okay Takao-kun?"

Ty looked up at him and smiled weakly at the blonde. "Yeah, thanks for your concern." She looked up and saw Kyoujyu and Rei smiling down at her. "Are you two all right?" And they nodded.

"Kai-sama…"

They turned their heads to see the fiery winged boy step up beside the duel haired teen who was silent the whole ordeal. Ty's eyes widened, and she gasped that only Max noticed. Her eyes became blank, and max grew worried. "Takao-kun…"

The duel haired teen closed his crimson eyes, and turned away, walking from the group. Rei stepped forward. "Kai! Where are you going?" Kai paused for a while, but then continued walking. Dranzer frowned sadly, but followed his master.

"There goes our plan in bonding their powers easily." Drigger crossed his arms and grumbled.

"Just give them time…" Dragoon whispered softly. "…Dranzer… please help Kai-sama…"

Rei frowned inwardly, and closed his eyes. He took in a deep breath, and bent over to Ty. He lends out his hand to her. Ty blinked her chocolate eyes, and took the hand. "Takao-kun… I-I need to talk to you." The girl tilted her head to the side, blinking. Rei caught the ocean blue eyes staring at him with happiness. He looked at the blonde and helped him up as well, with Max smiling reassuringly at him.

Max then turned to Kyoujyu, and latched his arms around his. "Hey Kyoujyu, let's take go treat these heroes some ice cream!" He looked at the four remaining Bit-Beasts, blinking in confusions. "I bet you'd like to try one, huh?" he then dragged the Umber haired boy and pushed the Bit-Beast towards a direction. He winked at Rei, and led the protesting group away from the two.

Rei smiled to himself. 'Thanks Max-koi…'

"Rei-san?"

The raven-haired teen looked up and smiled at Ty's confused state. He took her hand and led her to the bench. He took in a deep breath. "Ty… It's really important on what I'm going to tell you. I know it's been years ago since this happened, and it's a regret I'm going to hold for the rest of my life. Ty, I need to tell you this in order for all of us to finally live in happiness we once had, and that you will live without a hateful sorrow. It's… it's about Kai…"


Kai shut himself in his room, after running through the city of Athens in the dark. The sudden appearance of his human Bit-Beast shocked him, and the sight of the supernatural battle did as well. But the mention of his name caused him to plunge deeper into a poor of more pain and terrible remorse. He felt like his heart was squeezed tightly, and he was suffocating. He couldn't believe on what they were saying. He didn't want to believe in anything anymore. He left all his reawaken emotions, memories and beliefs behind the day when Takao took his last breath.

"It's not true…" He tightly closed his eyes, his heart now pounding rapidly. "I don't want to feel anymore… I don't want it all anymore…she can't be him…not again…" he whispered as he sunk to the ground with his dark surroundings.


Flash

For months his heart was pounding whenever he was around. For months he felt his face flush whenever he would smile or acknowledge him. He was falling… falling in love with the midnight blue haired boy who rose to the top with great determination and an amateur skill, shocking everyone who thought he would never make it. He has beaten all odds, going through the impossible, and had many rivals, and yet, he manages to befriend them in the oddest conditions. The young boy has thisaura that gravitates anyone to him. These characteristics have caused Rei to grow an immense crush on Takao.No one knew, and he planned for it to stay like that.

Sometimes he would think that it was quiet obvious, afraid the others would notice. So he would hide these emotions by hanging out with the eldest and more mature among the team, Kai. He thought hanging out with the 'ice prince' and 'anti-social teen' would make him rid of the little feeling he had for the young blue haired genki boy. But then jealousy consumed him as he started to notice the longing looks coming from the duel haired teen. Then his plans changed to somehow interfere with this spark of interest towards Takao from the elder teen.

He hung out with Kai more, trying to distract him from ever staring at Takao, just like he does at times. Rei didn't want anyone to fall for the blue haired teen. Sure he was being selfish, but he couldn't believe that the arrogant Kai would somehow make someone like Takao happy. It was impossible, for they would always fight in heated arguments. How can he love someone and somehow preserve the character of Takao that everyone loves? Secretly Rei would glare at Kai, and the duel haired teen would see this and response with his own icy glare. Then there was the silent understanding of the affections both had towards the young teen, and the fight to win his heart.

After a year has passed, he then noticed the happier look within Takao. He was different, and changed but not for the worse. Rei slowly became aware of Kai's sudden softness in his personality. He no longer argued that much with Takao, nor was a harsh captain with giving them some time off whenever one asks for it. He would give in, and let his team do whatever they ask for, and even talked more to his friends. Well, not really a lot, but more then just a simple "Hn." Rei didn't like this, and was suddenly feeling uncomfortable with this situation. He had to talk to Kai, and confront him. Rei was going to admit that he does have feelings for Takao, and was sadly going to let Kai win this battle for the young teen's affection.

And that day was when Kai was "sick", that caused Takao terrible anxiety of Kai's state…
