Summary: The BEGA bladers are tired of the media attention on the breakup so they decide to do something about it.

"And the world champion still has not come out to tell us what went wrong. Last week we heard breaking news, the breakup between Kinomiya Takao, the world champion, and teammate Kon Rei has finally occurred. Back to you John."

"Why do you watch this junk Ming Ming," the popstar turned to regard the voice with huge eyes.

"It's supposed to be on us. We're the superstars."

"Well obviously BEGA has fallen out of the public eye."

"Well we need to get back in public eye," Ming Ming pouted as she stared down at the blader that dared argue with her. Garland however did not seem impressed. "Isn't anyone going to agree?"

The most of an answer she got was a yawn from Brooklyn, as he lay sprawled over Garland's legs, talking to the bird that was perched on his fingers.

"I know how to find Rei," Mystel whispered past his smiling face.

"Perfect, and Brooklyn will talk with Takao."

"Do I have to," the ginger-haired blader whined as he nestled further into Garland.

"You better do it or else we'll never get away from her," Garland muttered as he ran his fingers through Brooklyn's hair before standing and hoisting him to his feet.

It wasn't that he hadn't put up a fight. It was that Mystel had been very persuasive that Rei found himself wandering around the park searching for a certain 'human jackrabbit'.

However what he saw in front of him, sitting by the stream wasn't Mystel at all and he felt like a complete fool.

He had been tricked.

"Rei," the familiar voice said as he stood and turned around, his brown eyes full of hurt and anger as the wind ruffled the blue hair. "Brooklyn told me you'd be here."

Rei froze in his spot, he could almost feel the anger radiating off Takao. And that only meant one thing. He was in a whole lot of trouble.

"Why Rei? Why?" Rei could almost hear the sobs threatening to break loose from Takao's accusations.

"I was tired of being second rate compared to you," Rei sighed. It was the truth, but maybe not the whole one.

"What do I have to do," Takao whispered as he felt the tears fall down his cheek. He would do anything to be back in Rei's arms once more.

Rei stood there, stock-still. How could he tell Takao that he had to lose?

"How Rei?" Takao asked, his voice ragged and the tears becoming more present in his voice.

Rei crossed over beside Takao and kissed his cheek, lapping up the tears from where they had fallen. "You can't," he whispered as he stepped away and began walking.

Takao stared at Rei's back and he did the first thing he could think of. He launched his beyblade towards his former boyfriend's feet.

"Then battle me Rei! I demand a battle!"
