Hey everybody! Here's another chapter of Hidden behind a Mask! -Everyone cheers-

I would love to do reviews but thank to that stupid rule I can't -pouts-

Disclaimer: I would own beyblade, but someone broke into my house and took a penny...-sniff-

Rei: You're telling me that someone broke into your house ignoring the wallet on the table, DVD player, crystal lamp just to goup into your room to take a penny.

Yes.

Rei: Oh God.

"Rei we need to talk."

Rei looked up at the in the person in the doorway with broken eyes. Kai shuddered when Rei looked up at him with those eyes; they were like twin sheets of golden glass with no light behind them.

Kai walked inside determined to know what was wrong with him. First Rei stared getting attack for no reason than he has an attitude change, and now he's looks like a broken toy.

He sat next to him and was puzzled when Rei flinched away from him. Then it clicked in when Rai said he broke the tora-youkai he was talking about Rei, and tora-youkai was Japanese for tiger-demon.

Kai felt his eyes widen in shock, 'That would explain why his wounds healed so fast, and how he looks different from the White tigers.' He thought.

He looked at Rei shock and hurt. Shocked that his lover was a demon and hurt that Rei didn't tell him. And Rai said that he broke Rei, which means that he must've told Rei something to make him act like this.

"Rei…" He started, but stopped when he picked up the scent of blood. Kai looked around puzzled at why he smelled blood then he looked at Rei who was fearfully staring at him. Rei knew that he could smell the blood.

Kai grabbed Rei's injured wrist up to his eyes and stared at the red cuts. Kai felt his eyes widen. Rei was a cutter? He never would've imagined, but Kai knew what cutting felt like. He did it with Tala, and the other B-boys when they were in the Abbey.

It was something to help them forget that they were experimented on, and were just tools. Making themselves bleed helped them believe they were still human.

"Rei…why did you…" He muttered. Rei stared at Kai he could see disbelief and concern in his eyes, which puzzled him.

"I-I…" He stuttered, "I don't know…" Kai felt his eyes widen the soften, "Rei I know that you're feeling vulnerable and that cutting looks like a solution to help, but it isn't."

Rei's eyes continued to stare at him looking for any deception but found none. Rei felt himself believing him though his mind told him not too, but his heart said yes (A/N: Corny I know, but I couldn't really think of anything.).

"Kai…do you know who Rai is?" He asked. This was it. This is where he faces his fear and gets an answer.

Kai looked at Rei confused, "I don't know who you're talking about Rei. I just met him in the hallway a few minutes ago."

Rei felt his eyes water he had been tricked again by Rai, but luckily Kai helped him. He launched himself onto Kai tears of happiness running down his face.

Kai smiled knowing he put Rei's greatest fears to rest, but he also knew they weren't out of the woods yet. Now that Rei started cutting it's going to hard for him to stop.

Rei pulled back slightly, "So you didn't know that your Grandfather hired someone to kill my parents and take me to the Abbey." That caused Kai to stiffen. His Grand-Voltaire hired someone to killed Rei's parents? Then bring him to the Abbey. Now that he thought about it Voltaire was happy and angry all those years ago…

--------------Flashback------------------

A seven-year-old Kai walked through the Abbey hallways. Voltaire wanted to talk to him about his training.

He opened the door a crack and stopped when he heard his voice talking.

"You finally got rid of the mother?" Pause. "Excellent. Did you get the child?" Pause. "What do you mean he got away!" Pause. "You incompetent fool! I need that child for my plans!" Pause. "Fine you have one more chance. Just don't screw up." Kai heard a slam of the phone and then he knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Kai entered the room acting like he didn't hear a thing, "Ahh Kai it's nice to see you. Please take a seat."

-------------End Flashback-----------------

It made sense with a demon on the side with BioVolt Voltaire could use him to infiltrate any place he wanted.

Kai wrapped his arms wrapped around Rei, and pulled him back into his chest, "Rei…you've known me for about three years now, you should know that I hate Voltaire with a passion, and I would never help him willingly."

Rei nodded his head and closed his eyes enjoying the feeling of being against his chest.

--------------------------------

Angel watched the seen and shut the door giving them their privacy.

She wanted Rei happy, and knew what she had to do. She walked down the hallway before encountering Tammy.

Tammy smiled at her before walking towards the pond, and sitting down on the deck. Angel joined her watching the buds of the lilies and moonflowers and fishes.

"You almost slipped up their Angel." She said. Angel sighed, "Call it mother's instincts. I couldn't stand seeing him cry and slashing himself. He diverse happiness, and I won't let that damned Rai make him miserable." She said.

Tammy sighed, "I know, but you must let him deal with this on his own."

Angel felt her eyes water, "I'm only helping. He needs someone to pull him from the darkness he was put into at such a young age." She said.

Tammy smiled sadly at her, "You must understand that you are no longer Nagiko. You are Angel now. You must understand that he must not know you were his mother in a past life." She said softly but still had an edge in her voice.

Angel nodded her head, "I understand that, but I can't help it. All these memories of her in a past life married, happy, had a wonderful child, and then Torn came and ripped my…her life apart."

Angel lowered her head, "I just want to help." She muttered.

Tammy wrapped her arm around Angel's shoulder's bringing her close and letting her head rest on her shoulder, "I know, I want to help too, but we can't. All we can do is wait. Then maybe this nightmare will be over."

Angel smiled, "One can only hope."

------------------------------

Tala laid in his bed deep in thought.

He thought that he smelt someone carrying BioVolt's scent. He just shrugged sometimes his nose was too over sensitive sometimes.

Speaking of over sensitive noses. Tala took a sniff and smiled when he heard a knock on his door.

He got up and walked towards the door. He opened it and wasn't surprised to see Bryan.

He smiled at him and moved aside for him to come in. Bryan walked inside and Tala shut the door.

"I was wondering when you'd come." He said still smiling at him, "You knew I'd come sooner or later." He said wrapping his arms around Tala's waist.

"Mmmmhmmm." He returned the embrace by wrapping his arms around his neck, "Did you see Kai or Rei as you came?"

Bryan shook his head, "Didn't see either of them." Tala withdrew his arms with a look of worry on his face. "Tala? What's wrong?" He asked, "I'm worried about them. I could smell blood coming from Rei's room, and someone that smelt like BioVolt outside." He answered.

Bryan tightened his grip on Tala and drew him to his chest, "Don't worry they'll tell us when their ready." He mumbled into his hair.

Tala nodded sadly and buried his head into his chest, "I just can't help but think that Rei might've tried to kill himself."

Bryan opened his eyes slightly, "Why would Rei do that? He seems fine to me."

Tala looked up at him, "Its hard to see the real Rei behind the mask he wears…"

----------------------------------------

Kai looked down at Rei who had fallen asleep. It made perfect sense he could still be woozy from blood lost.

Kai felt his eyes water slightly. Just thinking about what Rei did hurt him. He always looked so strong and carefree, but now he could see that it was an illusion. The real Rei wasn't like that at all.

The real Rei was the total opposite of the Rei he knew. The Rei he knew was kind, gentle, always there to help people.

The Rei that he's seeing is broken, cold, and lonely. Kai knows that it takes time for wounds to heal. So he's going to try his hardest to help Rei, and He knows that Rei will do the same thing.

Cause no matter which Rei he sees he knows that he will always try to help people.

Rei shifted in his arms making smile when he nuzzled his chest.

'I know that I'm not the greatest, but I will try to help, and heal the wound in your soul…like you have done for me.'

Hope you like. And sorry for the long wait. Please review!

Till next time!
