Hey I'm back and with my second chapter! I would like to say: woah i never excepted to get 7 reviews I expected 3! that makes me so happy that you like this fic!

N E ways, On with the Fic!

It was around lunchtime that Hiro and Kai decided to pack it in. Of course Tyson and Daichi were happy that practice was over, and when they noticed it was close to lunch were really happy.

Rei hadn't battled ever since his lost to Max. Through the whole training session all he did was watch the others battle with glazed eyes, and when someone would say he should battle he'd just reply "No that's okay guys, you need the practice more than me." And that got Kai really worried, to him those words sounded like they had some hidden meaning behind them.

"Hey! I have an idea. Let's go have a picnic!" Said Hilary. Everyone looked at each other and nodded they had been training hard since their battle with BEGA, why not take a break.

"Great!" exclaimed Hilary "I'll go ask Mr. Granger!" And ran inside.

After Tyson's grandfather, and Hilary pack all the supplies they needed they headed to the riverside (1).

Hiro and Tyson's grandfather were cooking, Hilary was talking to Kenny, Max was laughing at Tyson and Daichi, who were arguing about who's blade could make it across the river first, Kai was lying on the grass arms behind his head with a longer piece of grass in his mouth, and Rei sat cross legged looking at his reflection in the water.

You can't keep this charade up for much longer can you? It was back.

'I can! No I will! I refuse to open myself up and get hurt again!'

I see, fooling your own friends into believing everything's fine, while you continue to hide the real you behind a mask.

'I…I have to. I learned the hard way not to trust someone fully.'

Yes, but wouldn't it be better just to push everyone away? Make them hate you then you truly could not be hurt again.

'I can't do that. They know my personality, and know I would never act like that.'

Oh…and who's fault is that? You're the one that gave your friendship them to, and when you finally realized your mistake you couldn't change it. They started looking up to you as an older brother, relying on you, but when you said that you were joining White tiger X to Tyson you could practically see the hated he had for you. You thought they were different didn't you.

'I…guess I did.'

And let's not forget that you willingly gave your heart to Kai.
'I know, I guess its all just a stupid crush it'll blow over.'
Oh really, I don't think you want it to. You want someone to love you, to hold you, comfort you, and you hoped it would be Kai. Too bad someone else already stole his heart.


When Rei heard those words his eyes turned into slits as he glared at his reflection 'Only one more reason not to show the real me.'

Kai slowly sat up and looked over to Rei 'What's wrong with him?' He saw Rei glaring at his reflection.

Master Kai?

Kai blinked when he heard the voice 'Yes Dranzer what is it?' He asked.

Is there something wrong Master Kai?

'No, nothing's wrong.'

You really shouldn't lie to a bitbeast Master Kai.

Kai chuckled, he knew it was pointless to lie to Dranzer, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't stop trying. 'I'm just worried about Rei.'

I see. Driger told me that he has been rather depressed lately.

'He has? Maybe I should go talk to him.' With his mind made up, Kai got up and walked over to Rei.

Rei heard someone approaching him, but didn't turn his head to see who it was, He also heard the person sit down beside him. "Is their something wrong Rei?" Kai asked , just hearing Kai's voice made Rei almost shiver in pleasure. Almost.

Rei turned his head towards Kai, eyes turning back to normal with a smile on his face "Hi Kai, how's it going?" Kai just stared at Rei 'He just avoided my question.' He thought.

Rei stared back at Kai and didn't like it, those piercing crimson orbs bore into his soul.

"Is their something wrong Rei?" Kai repeated his question from earlier. Rei just shook his head not trusting his voice. "Are you sure? You've been more quiet lately." Kai was determined, he really wanted to know what was wrong with Rei. "I-I'm fine Kai. I just have a lot on my mind lately." Rei answered, and it was the truth he did have a lot on his mind lately.

Just as Kai was going to ask what he was thinking about he was interrupted "Lunch is done!" Called Hiro. Rei stood up immediately when he heard Hiro, He just didn't like having Kai so close to him…knowing that he will never love him back. Rei started for the table that was set up, but was stopped when a strong hand grab onto his wrist.

Rei looked back once again into those crimson eyes "Uhh…Kai?"

"If you need someone to talk too come to me I'll listen." Was all he said, walked right past Rei.

Rei just stared after Kai,and a small smile graced his lips, then he followed Kai.

After lunch Rei was lying on the grass arms behind his head listening to some music that Hilary brought, it was mostly a mixed CD.

When the CD started to play a certain song the peaceful look on Rei's face was gone.

Perfect By Nature, Icons of self indulgence, Just what we all need, More lies about a world that Never was and never will be,

Rei's eyebrows furrowed together as he continued to listen.

Have you no shame don't you see me,

You know you've got everybody fooled.

Look here she comes now, Bow down And stare in wonder.

Oh how we love you,

To Rei this song seemed to remind him of himself.

No flaws when you're pretending,

But now I know she never was and never will be,

You don't know how you've betrayed me,

And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Without the mask where will you hide,

Can't find yourself lost in you lie.

That was true, When someone did get past Rei's mask what would he do then?

I know the truth now,

I know who you are,

And I don't love you anymore.

It never was and never will be,

You don't know how you betrayed me,

And somehow you've got everybody fooled,

It never was and never will be,

You're not real and you can't save me,

Somehow now you're everybody's fool.

As soon as that song end Rei stopped the CD and took of the headphones, and slowly sat up placing the CD player beside him. He looked around to see everybody. Hiro and Tyson's grandfather were sitting at the table playing cards, Max, Hilary, and Kenny were talking about new beyblade strategies, Daichi was fishing, while Kai was laying on the grass as before, and beside him was…Tyson.

Rei turned his head away and stared bitterly at the ground, hands clenched into fists. Then slowly started to relax. Rei got up and walked to the edge of the water and stared into his reflection again.

'No one would want something like you' Rei glared again at his reflection 'Why do I bother, friendship, love, in the end I'll never have it because of what I am!' He thought and slammed his hand into the water with a loud splash, distorting his reflection.

Everyone turned their heads towards Rei when they heard the noisy splash. "Rei is their something the matter!" Yelled Hiro. Rei slowly brought his hand out of the water, the cut on his hand had reopened, and was deeper than before as the whole bandage was almost cover in blood. The others watched as he retreated his hand from the water, and how the white cloth was stained red, even the water had some red in it as it went with the current. Rei didn't answer them, he was staring at his hand as his blood made the color from a red to a dark crimson.

"Rei! Is everything ok!" Hiro called trying to get some reaction from Rei. Rei turned his head so Hiro and everyone could see… he was smiling "I'm fine Hiro!" he finally answered. That made everyone feel a bit better, but Rei's hand it bleeding a lot more now than before.

Rei must of saw Max, Kenny, and Hilary looking at his injured hand, because Rei hid his hand behind his back preventing anyone else from seeing it. Rei got up and started for the sidewalk "Rei, where are you going!" This time Tyson's voice reached Rei's ears.

Rei bit back a growl, and turned to face Tyson with a smile on his face "Just for a little walk that's all!" He replied, and walked away, knowing that blood was dripping off of his fingertips.
