"Let it rip!"

There was no way he was going to turn down a challenge, not when Takao was issuing it.

Takao's jaw was set in dead seriousness. He would win, he was so sure of it. It was time to teach Rei that he wasn't some one to be trifled with. He caught to attention of the gold eyes as he stood there. He had given his heart and Rei had trampled it. He had given him a second chance and the Neko-jin had thrown it back into his face.

He hated him for it, hated him with a passion. Everything he had done Rei had thrown everything in his face. Just like he had always done. Just like when he had run off after Driger had left him and just like he had run back to the White Tigers.

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you," Takao whispered the words over and over almost like a chant. Tears welled up in his eyes as Dragoon went on the attack. Driger and Rei never had time to recover from the ferocious onslaught.

They were battered back again and again, unable to make any attempt of an attack.

Rei growled as he watched the blades. Dragoon never had that type of raw power before. It only meant Takao's anger was feeding into his blade.

"I hate you!" Takao yelled as Dragoon gave a solid attack sending both Driger and Rei flying back.

Rei picked himself up as he focused on Takao's face. Everything was clear to him now. "Takao! You're going down! You're just fueled by anger and you'll eventually burn out."

Takao stood there, his head hanging and the hatred burning stronger than ever before. "Die Rei. Die."

His eyes slid shut as he almost felt his spirit leaving his body. This was the way beyblading was supposed to be.

Standing above the world he saw Rei in front of him. He leaned forward and placed the kiss softly on his lips. "I hate you," he whispered as they stood suspended there in their own world as the beyblades battled shamelessly beneath them.
