Disclaimer: I don't own it ok! If I did Kai and Rei would be an couple!

The sun slowly raised and stars slowly started to fade. No one was up at that kind of hour. No one that is, but a certain golden-eyed neko-jin known as Rei Kon. Rei sighed softly as he continued to gaze at the rising sun from his place on the rooftop of Tyson's dojo.

'I can't believe that it's finally over' he thought with a small smile. 'BEGA is shut down and so is Boris's plan. But…I can't help but feel that I still failed in some way.'

Rei torn his eyes away from the sun and look at the hands in his lap 'I know we won that's great and everything, but…I feel like I don't deserve what we fought for.' All Rei could do was sigh "What am I so worked up about we won that's all that matters." He muttered.

"I don't know why you're so worked up for Rei, but you should be resting." Said a deep, smooth from the shadows. Rei turned his head in the direction that the voice came from, and his eyes widen a little "Kai…" Rei said gently. The great Kai Hiwatari stood there watching Rei arms crossed over his chest with his usual set of clothes ready to start the day.

Rei got on to his feet and fully turn his body towards Kai. For the first few minutes they just stood there in silence staring at each other until Kai spoke "You better get dressed Rei, training starts in 30 minutes." With that said he turn around and jumped off the roof.

Rei stared at the spot where Kai was, closed his eyes with a sigh and jumped of the roof all so.

After Rei got dressed he went to the kitchen to cook up some food, since Daichi could eat as much as Tyson he will have to cook lots.

As he entered the dinning room he saw Tyson's grandfather and Hiro. "Good morning Mr. Granger, and Hiro." He said with a smile "Good morning Rei," Replied Hiro "Morning, Rei please don't call me Mr. Granger it makes me sound old!" Tyson's grandfather said. Rei gave a little laugh and nodded his head.

Rei entered the kitchen and started for the fridge. Opening the fridge door to get out: eggs, bacon, sausage, broccoli, green peppers, milk, etc. Setting each item on the counter he went for the pans pulling out the largest he could find, he set it on the stove. When suddenly he turn his head towards the doorway to find…"Kai…?" Kai just grunted in response and walked towards him.

Rei got a little nervous at how close Kai was "So…is their anything you want Kai? Or just your usual cup of coffee?" he asked. Why do you continue to stay with them? Said the demon in his mind 'Because their my friends' he countered Ha! Don't make me laugh. Why don't you just admit it? '…Admit what?' That you are the weakest team member and this so called 'friendship' could end in a blink of an eye! They're going to abandon you sooner or later Rei. And when that happens you'll be all alone again. 'No…! That's not true!' Oh but it is true and you know it.

Rei would have continued if he didn't notice a hand waving in front of his face. He snapped out of his daze to look at Kai who's face was just inches away from his.

A steady blush appeared across the bridge of Rei's nose and he took a step back to put some distance between them.

"Are you ok Rei? You seemed to zone out on me," asked Kai his eyes had a hint of worry in them. Rei shook is head not trusting his voice "Are you sure? Your face is a little flushed are you getting sick?" He question putting a hand on his forehead only increasing the blush on Rei's face. "N-no! I'm fine really! So what is it that you wanted?" He asked.

Kai only looked at Rei for a few minutes before answering, "I'll just have some coffee." Then left.

Rei looked at Kai's backside as he left, then turned to get the coffee pot.

After breakfast (when Tyson and Daichi were full) they went to the back yard. Tyson and Daichi were battling while everyone watched. Chief was trying to see how much they improved since the battle against the BEGA players.

Out of all of them Kai couldn't wait to rip some dish. After the 'Justice for all 5' battle(1), Kenny rebuilt Dranzer, and it was as good as new! Well better than new actually, but most of all Kai was happy to be reunited with his red phoenix once more.

Hiro was watching the match also even though he wasn't the coach of the G-revolution he still acted like one always giving commands and giving great advice when needed. And of course Hilary still visited. It seems that she couldn't get enough of beybattles; she was excited for the next world championships.

Rei watched the match with dull eyes holding his blade in his hand still thinking of the words the demon spoke of 'Could he be right? Would they really abandon me after all we've been through?'

Something ailing you little one? Said a deep, kind yet powerful voice

'Huh Driger? No nothing's bothering me.' Rei replied

That's not what I heard. Rei your thoughts are so depressed lately what's wrong.

'It's nothing you should be worried about.'

But Rei I am worried! Your not sleeping right, your hardly eating, and your pretending to be happy in front of your friends! Please Rei tell me what's wrong.

Rei turned his head away from the match and down to his lap, his eyes turning into slits, and turning his hands into fists. 'Why would you care! Are you pitying me? Because I don't want your pity! I've been fine all my life! I don't need you or anyone to come and make me believe that the world is filled with rainbows and happiness! I've seen the real world Driger and it's not like that!'

… Driger was silent.

Rei sighed and his eyes went back to normal 'Good going Rei. Now you hurt Driger's feelings!'

Rei noticed that his hand had a dull pain in it. Rei looked at his hand and gasped slightly he had squeezed his blade so hard that it pierced though the material of his glove and skin. His blood stained the attack ring of his blade.

The raven-haired teen heard a gasp behind him "Rei what happened to your hand," Asked Max. Rei turned his to look at Max who was looking at Rei's hand. "It's nothing Max don't worry about." He replied, "I don't know Rei that cut looks deep," Said Hiro joining the situation "Alright if it will make you guys feel better I'll wrap it up ok." With that said Rei got up and went inside aware of the worried stares he got unaware that he left Driger behind.

Rei was in the bathroom sitting on the toilet wrapping up his hand when he heard an all too familiar voice.

Well, well, well look what's happening. Hurting Driger's feelings tsk, tsk.

'I didn't mean too.' Rei said

Are you sure? Wouldn't it be better if you just push everyone away? No one could get close. No one could hurt you again.

'Maybe…'

Or you could end your life. After all who would want a friend with dirty blood.

'The friends I have now wou…'

You really think that don't you. You haven't even told them your background! And you want to know why.

'…'

'Because you are afraid of what will happen after they know the real you. Give it up Rei everyone dies sooner or later what does it matter that you're a few years a head of schedule.

But my friends…Kai…'

We already discussed your friends Rei, and Kai… Don't make me laugh! He only sees you as a friend or as an annoyance. You really believed that he cared for you as more than a friend didn't you.

'…Yes…'

Sorry Rei, but he doesn't, to him your probably just a waste of time, and besides doesn't he like Tyson?

Rei clenched his hands as his eyes started burning from unshed tears 'I…guess so.'

And didn't your friends win the tournament without your help? Just emit it Rei your just dead weight to this team. And nobody cares about you!

'No…your lying my friends do care, they do!'

Who are you trying to convince Rei, Me or you?

Rei's eyes widened at that statement as his throat started to choke up from the tears. Then Rei burst into silent sobs. He slowly stood up and started heading for the door, but stop…right in front of the mirror looking at his reflection, but…he wasn't looking at himself he was looking at his soul.

'Mind Broken, soul tainted. I am nothing but weak. Why did I believe that someone out there would accept me, love me, but no one will! I'm just dirty blood! Heh…seems to fit, dirty blood with a dirty body.' He thought with a small sad smile.

"Rei? Are you okay in there?" Asked a voice outside the door, Rei turned his head towards the door "…Kai…?" He whispered. "You've been in there for a while now Rei, and the others were getting worried, then Tyson-" But Rei didn't hear the rest of the sentence 'He only came to check up on me because of Tyson? Heh…I should have known that he wouldn't do it out of the kindness of the heart.' He thought with a sadistic grin.

Kai waited patiently for Rei to come out. Something was wrong with him he knew it, but what could he do? Whatever was wrong with him, he'll have to figure it out by himself.

'Rei what's wrong with you? You aren't acting the way your suppose to. I hate to say it, but…I'm worried about you.' Kai thought. Just then the bathroom door opened showing Rei with a smile on his face 'That smile is fake.' Kai thought as soon as he saw it.

"Hey Kai, sorry I took so long. I guess Tyson hungry by now right?" Rei asked looking at Kai with those beautiful golden orbs of his. Kai stared at him for a while before answering "No it's not about Tyson Rei, it's your turn to battle that's why." Kai started walking outside as Rei just stood there for a second then followed.

As Rei walked outside he looked over to the dish too see who his opponent was, it was Max.

He went to the opposite side and went for his blade to find it not that. He was about to panic when Daichi approached him holding his blade "Here ya go Rei you forgot it when you went inside to bandage your hand." Rei gave Daichi a smile of gratitude and loaded Driger on the launcher before the count down started Rei had to apologize.

'Driger?'

…Yes Rei… Driger asked hesitantly

'I'm sorry Drig, I was just frustrated. Please forgive me.'

It's ok Rei, I guess I've should have known better than to push the subject.

'So…you forgive me?'

Of course Rei!

Rei mentally smiled 'Great! Now let's rip some dish!' He said excitedly.

"3…2…1, Let it Rip!" They both cried and launched their blades. Draceil went right to the center as his normal defensive style, while Driger spun around the edge. "Driger! THUNDER SLASH!"

"Draceil! WATER WALL!"(2)

The blades attacks make collision with each other. Everyone had to wait till the dust started to set to see; their was only one blade left spinning and it was…Draceil!

Everyone was shocked but Rei was more shocked than anyone else. The words of the demon came back to haunt his mind.

Your just deadweight to this team. You're the weakest team member. Nobody cares about you!

But instead of showing it on his face he just slips on a smile and went over to Max. "Great battle Max. But the better blader won in the end." Rei whispered the last part.

All Max did was smile and replied "Thanks Rei! That was an awesome battle!"

"But when we fight again I'm going to win!" Rei said with a laugh "You wish!" Replied Max with a laugh of his own. The only person that could tell that laugh was fake was the owner of a pair of crimson-red eyes.

(1)- I don't really know if it's really called that I didn't really listen

(2)- I'm not really sure what Max's attack is it's kinda hard to now it when he says it once so sorry if I got it wrong.

Well that's all Please leave an review. Till next time!
