THIS IS AN ACTUAL CHAPTER! I PROMISE YOU! lol
Insanewelshangel: OMG I AM BACK! YAY! Sorry for the mega long delay but between the bloody thing breaking down and the mountains of coursework (like homework but worse) I've tried writing this. So read and review please!
Disclaimer: I (that's me) do not own (really, I'm not lying)
The room was filled with stunned silence; each of the bladebreakers looked at each other, though Kai only looked at Rei
"W-well, obviously the meaning of the word split up has changed! I-it stands for... we are staying together and shall win another tournament!" Tyson said rapidly in false hope, hanging his head afterwards. Max sniffed looking at the floor
"This isn't fair" The blonde whispered, receiving a hug off the Japanese youth.
Kai said nothing, only watching the silent neko-jin. The ebony haired blader turned his golden eyes towards his captain "K-kai...Maxie is right. It's not fair"
"But it's true" The bluenette replied, giving Rei a small soft smile.

A hand touched the water's surface gently, moving through it like a whispered touch. He watched almost absentmindedly as the surface broke under his force, even though there was none within the gesture. The droplets of water broke apart, but remained together, joining back up fluidly. Could the Bladebreakers do that? Could they separate but stick together at the same time? Should they learn from this little river?
The sun painted the sky before it set, wanting to show off before its sister (the moon) appeared and took dominance with her little children shining beside her. The figure sighed, looking up at the sky, hand still dipped in cool smooth water. The sky was a blaze of red, gold's and oranges. As though Dranzer had escaped from her bit and flew through the sky, becoming a memory to it as it adopted her beautiful colour scheme. It looked as though a phoenix had arisen.
A small body settled on the grass beside him and leant ever so slightly on the figure "Kai-koi" The ebony haired boy smiled sadly and kissed soft lips before closing pure golden orbs.
Kai smiled, maybe a phoenix had arisen after all. "Rei, I want you to do your best"
"K-kai?"
"Most people see it as two choices. One is to forget your love and battle. The other is to forget the battle for your love. And we..."
"Yeah?"
"Shall do neither" receiving a confused look, the bluenette smiled "We will remember both, and fight to our best abilities. Not going easy on each other just for their boyfriend can win"
"People who say Beyblading is just a game are wrong. It's part of our life, it's part of who we are. It's much more then a game"
"And your part of my life...Rei. Promise me. We'll have a great battle, I love competing against you"
The neko-jin smiled "Promise Kai-koi"
"and another thing?"
"What?"
"If it's down to you and Granger in the final battle" The bluenette leaned closer and smirked "Wipe the floor with him!" Rei laughed and snuggled closer to his captain.
They stayed like that for a while. Two other teen's eventually joined them, sitting beside Rei. Once again silence overcame them like a disease.
Surprisingly it was Kai who broke the silence "I want you all to do your best. Don't need my reputation as team captain to be shamed, make me proud"
Rei smiled as he noticed the bluenette had covered up his affection with his captain abilities, but Kai needn't worry. The neko-jin would show him a battle to smile at, he swore it.
"Oh well, you lot might as well drop out right now cause I'm sure to win...again" Tyson said
"Yeah right Tys' you'll be out in the preliminaries!" The Chinese male joked
"No I don't think so Rei, you'll be the first to go"
"Actually" Max laughed "You'll both lose Max the mighty is here!"
"No way!" The other two chorused
Kai rolled his eyes and walked away "Actually, since your all arguing about it I'M gonna be the one who wins." The rest of them looked at each other slowly before laughing and betting who was going to come out as victor again as they rushed to catch up with their (former) captain.
Only the sound of the river trickling away was left behind. The water flowed peacefully together as the sun sank lower into the horizon. The Bladebreakers fading voices lingered in the air, as though this place was trying to remember them together, before they split up.

A red headed male laughed as he entered the apartment for his team, making the other smile in doing so. Bryan gently kissed Tala and sat down, bringing the wolf on top of him. Tala's smile grew into a smirk and a devilish glint appeared in his eyes.
"Tal'?"
"Yes koi?" He replied, drawing lazy circles on his partner's chest, looking up with innocent ice blue orbs. Bryan sighed, shaking his head
"Too innocent, please put the look away"
Tala mentally grinned "What innocent face hunny?"
"That one" The Russian said, closing his eyes quickly. Choosing to ignore Tala's pet name for him.
The red head shrugged and sang along to a song he knew that was playing on the radio 'Hehehe I'll trap him with my angelic act then snare him hehehe' Bryan carefully opened one eye and listened to his boyfriend singing. Tala was one of the most beautiful people he'd ever seen, and he still couldn't believe that the red head loved him in return. Not helping himself at all, Bryan smiled peacefully, thinking about how gorgeous Tala was. Yeah, he was head over heels in love all right. Poor guy, if only he could know what the wolf was thinking.
The younger smiled, sweetly to anyone who saw it, but it was evil. He leant down just above Bryan's neck and drew his tongue down the pale flesh.
Just then the song ended and an exclusive announcement was made "Breaking news today in the world of Beyblading Mr. Dickinson's, the head of the BBA how announced that the format of this years competition is single blader's only with no teams at all and also no substitutes. Dickinson said 'It's time to see how the next generation copes with being independent and how they will cope with such pressure. Only one blader is allowed, one on one matches with sudden death battles. This years show ill be quite thrilling indeed!' Further news is that the sport of..."
Tala rolled off Bryan and shook the radio while shouting at it "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"Tala, calm down"
"LYING BASTARDS, IF I WAS THAT MUCH SKINNIER I'D JUMP THROUGH THIS FUCKING RADIO AND POUND YOUR ARSES TO THE END OF MY BOOT!"
"Tala, they can't hear you"
The red head looked up from his position of kneeling on the floor and casually tossed the radio over his shoulder "Meh, true...so where were we"
"We...were...Tala you DID hear the announcement right?"
"Yeah it said we were all splitting up... ARGH WHAT THE FUCK! WE'RE SPLITTING UP! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT OLD DECRIPT DICKENSON FUCKING!"
"Yeah Tala"
The wolf pouted and blinked rapidly "B-but I don't want to slit up!" He whined "Promise you'll sneak into my room then?"
Bryan laughed "Yes I promise to sneak into your room and screw your brains out!"
"YAY!" Tala glomped Bryan while smiling brightly "I'll miss you though"
"So will I babe, I'll miss you so much"
XPXPXPXP
A lone figure stood in a dark corridor, eyes closed as he deeply breathed in. Remembering his old team. Remembering what they had promised each other. Remembering their last night together...
(flashback type thing)
That night had passed too quickly for every single one of them. Even Kai, he had come to grow fond of his teammates and saw them as a mini family. Put them together with team Neo Borg and he wasn't so lonely anymore ((A/N: I don't know who came up with the blitzkrieg boys, its fricking German so Neo Borg!)) He would miss them all, Tyson and his enthusiasm to win, Max and his good-natured ways and Rei. He would miss Rei most of all. Forced to join in on card games and such by his lover, Kai ordered them to bed, one last time as they had an early start in the morning.
Tyson took Max's hand in his and set off upstairs "Aye aye captain!"
"You two better go to sleep"
Rei laughed and stood beside Kai, leaning against him. "What else are they going to do?"
"Make an attempt" Kai smirked while the Chinese male laughed and hit his arm lightly
"That's not very nice" The neko-jin scolded, but the twinkle of amusement took his seriousness away as he crossed his arms and looked at the Russian.
Kai wrapped his arms around Rei's waist and kissed him softly. Mentally smirking as he kissed back and wrapped arms around the bluenette's neck. Once again, tasting the irresistible scent of peaches that Rei gave off. Kai pulled away smirking even more "So, I'm forgiven?"
"...Fine!" Rei hesitated then leaned seductively against his partner "Only if you..."
"What?"
The neko-jin twirled a piece of hair around his finger, seeing he had caught Kai's interest "Well...no you wouldn't want to do that...to me" Rei added looking at the ceiling. Now Kai was defiantly interested.
"Come on kitten, tell me" He growled huskily in return, but to his frustration, the ebony haired teen merely teased him more as the one hand that was wrapped around Kai's neck made whispering movements across it.
"Oh, it's...nothing"
"Rei"
"Hmmm?"
"No it wasn't a question I was...never mind"
"Ok. Kai-koi" Rei sighed as though thinking before 'giggling' slightly ((A/N: He's mock giggling to wind Kai up)) and burying his head in the bluenette's shoulder. He looked at Kai with large golden eyes and looked up at the ceiling again "Nope, no no no, he wouldn't do that..." The bluenette pouted and head butted Rei slightly. The neko-jin smirked and pulled Kai down for a kiss. The ebony haired male ran his tongue along Kai's bottom lip, before plundering in and making them topple back onto the couch, where he straddled the elder's waist. "You're comfy"
"And you're..." The neko-jin smiled tiredly, curling up on Kai's chest "...tired"
"Not" Was the mumbled reply "Ok. But it's not my fault, your really warm and comfy and great to sleep with"
"With?"
The ebony haired boy blushed "Oh I meant ON, sleep on!"
"Oh so I'm not great to sleep with?" Kai joked
"YES!...I mean...um...(cough) yeah your good..."
The bluenette laughed, not a small one he would normally do but an open carefree one, Rei smiled widely. Kai had a gorgeous laugh to hear especially since it was so rare to hear. The neko-jin lightly hit his boyfriend on the chest, good-naturedly and lightly kissed his lips "Kitten, you're my idiot, right?"
Now Rei laughed "Idiot, eh? Oh there's the compassion I've always dreamed of"
"How long is the tournament for?"
"The normal amount...around...one to two months"
The bluenette sighed and held Rei closer. The neko-jin reached up a hand to play with the silky light blue bangs, purring in content as he listened to his captain's heartbeat. Through the open curtain they could see the moon and stars twinkling happily, as though everything would be normal the next day. A while later, the phoenix sat up, shaking the tiger slightly, whispering that they should go to bed and smiling as he helped the younger up.
2:23AM
The neon green numbers glowed out from the digital clock. Mocking the bluenette as his angel slept in his arms.
2:23AM
That much closer until you have to say goodbye
2:23AM
That much closer until you have to leave him, and not see that smile that you love.
2:24AM
'Argh, stupid clock!' Kai growled, looking down at a slumbering Rei, long hair fawned out over the pillow and themselves, acting like a silky scented blanket.
The smaller male had fallen asleep around ten minutes ago, curled up on his captain, his head resting on a toned chest with strong protective arms around his waist. The bluenette couldn't remember when he hated the head of the BBA more then at this moment, knowing that it would be the last time in a long while for them to just be like this.
'Typical of that fat, bald headed buffoon, "yes the Bladebreakers are probably closer and stronger as a team then they've ever been before, so I being the bastard I am, decide to split them all up and threaten to take away that bond. That way more people will watch and I'll be able to eat more fucking doughnuts. Yes people I am that fat!" Arsehole! Arsehole! Arsehole!'
Gently removing the neko-jin from his self, the bluenette walked over to the window and opened it, just enough for a small breeze to squeeze in and play with his hair as he stared out at the sleeping world. Why could everything seem so perfect, when it was all about to end. Not forever but...still. Kai sighed. Leaning forward, palms gripping the wooden windowsill as he closed his eyes. He stayed like that for god knows how long. Not even feeling the cold wind from his body becoming numb to it. A warm pair of arms wrapped around his waist from behind, startling him out of his musings.
"What you doing out of bed?"
"Thinking"
"What-"
"Just thinking" Kai interrupted, turning around and holding Rei to him, letting his hands slip down his partner's sides before tickling him. Rei, who had previously been resting his head on Kai's chest, burst out into a fit of laughter. The joyful sound filled the room as the neko-jin clasped a hand over his mouth to smoother the sound.
"Kai, don't tickle" He half whispered half laughed, smiling at his boyfriends smirk "Idiot"
"I'm no idiot"
"Are"
"Not, I am a………..Kai" Rei laughed and hugged the bluenette
"Yes, and you're my Kai…idiot"
"HEY!" The phoenix smirked, resting his head on top of the ebony haired male's head and holding him closer. Letting his crimson eyes slip shut, it wasn't long before Rei's blissful purring slowed down to show he was sleeping. Kai shook his head and stepped back, confirming that the neko-jin had fell asleep totally depending on Kai to be his vertical bed.
He moved Rei and placed him gently on the bed, finding that a tanned hand had a tight grip on his top and wouldn't let him go. Kai looked at the peaceful face and sighed, lying down beside him and once again wrapping his arm's around the small waist. He eventually fell asleep, the soft purring lulling him to slumber as the clock read 3:02AM
Then the time flew, slipped through their grasps and outstretched fingers.
So what, two months. They could spend that long without each other. Right?
Well if they could, none of them felt like it. It was as though they knew how fast time was going so they did everything extra slow. Cherishing the moments and capturing the time, wanting to lock it away in a cage like a songbird.
But they could not. Time didn't slow or quicken, it stayed the same. But it didn't feel like it.
Tyson rushed around the house like a maniac. Shouting something about a hat that he lost. Rei had to leap onto the sofa to avoid being smushed by the bluenette, waving his arms around and shouting "My hat, my precious beautiful hat!"
Kai rose an eyebrow as the Japanese youth passed him. Practically turning the house upside down in a desperate attempt to find his beloved (hat) The two toned bluenette shook his head and smirked before disappearing into the kitchen. Trying to ignore the sounds of destruction Max and Rei packed their suitcases and sent looks to each other that could clearly be saying 'Stupid kids'
After around an hour of grumbling and complaining, Tyson flung himself onto the couch, ready to mourn for his lost hat "My brother gave me that and I've had it ever since and now I lose it"
"Come on Koi, we can get you another hat" The blonde smiled sympathetically
"Maybe Kai will give you extra time to look for it if you ask nicely" Rei suggested
"Oh don't worry kitten" A deep smooth voice come from the doorway "I found him something else"
"Huh?" The Japanese looked at his former captain in hope. The tall slim figure walked over to him with his hands behind his back. "Show me!" Tyson received a smirk and a brown paper bag with eyeholes cut into it with the words 'Do not feed, major combustion will occur in the arse otherwise' written onto it. Rei and Max quickly ducked out of the room to hide their laughter. Kai kept an indifferent face as Tyson turned red and balled his fists at his sides
"Suits you I think"
"KAI!"
XPXPXPXP
'This was it' Rei thought sadly 'This is goodbye……..no it's just until next time, we'll see each other. In battle but, heck it's something. We can do this' He smiled 'I can do this'
"Attention, flight 546 to America will leave in half an hour. Will passengers please make their way to the waiting area. Thank you"
Bright blue eyes looked up from under blonde hair. Their usual shimmer dimmed. The eyes met his lover's and hugged the Japanese tightly "Love you"
"Love you as well Maxie, it's only for a while. You'll see it will fly by" The tanned youth smiled and hugged back.
But he knew that the time wouldn't fly by once they were separated, it would drag, drag so slowly minutes would seem like hours and hours like days. Rei didn't smile at the affection, he dropped his eyes and leant against the soft yet firm shoulder beside him, a warm arm slipping around his waist in a returned gesture. Both didn't know how long the American and Japanese hugged and talked and kissed for, but before they knew it. The blonde was gone. Tyson stayed by the window, waving to the rapidly disappearing plane before slumping to the floor.
"Tyson!" Rei crouched beside him and placed a gentle hand on his former teammates shoulder "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine Rei, I'll say good bye to both of you now. I'm pretty sure you two will want to say goodbye for the rest of the time. Rei thanks for being my friend, you've always helped me when ever."
"Its not like we'll never be team mates again Tys' I'll see you again"
"As a competitor, but you better bring a good match!" The dragoon wielder hugged Rei tightly.
"Will do, bud" The Chinese hugged back before Tyson wandered over to the stoic bluenette
"And Kai, Ya old sourpuss come here!" He shouted and hugged his captain, Kai's eyes went wide as he was pulled down into the hug, finding himself having to bend down to hug back. Tyson sniffed and punched him lightly on the arm "I'll really miss you guys"
Rei smiled "Same here" Whilst Kai settled for the nod.
"Attention, would the passengers for flight 579 to china please go to the waiting area. Thank you"
"OH fuck a kami, fuck a kami, fuck a kami!"
"Rei, calm down."
"I don't want to go! Shove me in your suitcase or summit, just don't let me go!"
Kai smiled, and shook his head "You really are my idiot. Love you"
"Love you too, and I am not an idiot" Rei sniffed and hugged the bluenette tightly, arms flung around his neck and head buried into his shoulder. Kai hugged back, lifting the neko-jin off his feet slightly as he kissed the top of his ebony head.
"We can do this" The phoenix whispered
"I know" Was whispered back and they never let go of the other. Both wrapped in a precious embrace that refused to break. They whispered words of comfort to each other, telling the other to do their best and not worry about them. They'd be fine and will miss the other. Whispering anything they could to show their bond was powerful and wouldn't break apart, even when they had to.
Kai pressed his lips against Rei's in a soft flutter of love before the passion increased.
Tongues danced together and heartbeats rose before they broke apart. Kai rested his forehead against Rei's and looked into the sunny orbs, that looked back into his own rich depths.
"Attention, would the passengers for flight 579 to china go to the waiting area and begin to board the plane. Thank you"
Neither of them moved, Rei closed his eyes in defeat as the announcement came up again, but remained within the parting embrace. "Don't forget me"
"Not possible"
The neko-jin picked up his carry on bag and moved towards the entrance to the tunnel heading to the plane. Still holding Kai's hand. "I love you"
"I love you too" The bluenette shared one more kiss before Rei had to go, walking unwillingly to the plane. Stealing looks back and waving. Kai kept up his smile 'He doesn't need to worry about me. If I just smile, then he won't worry' The tiger walked backwards waving and blowing kisses. Until, with the flickering end of an ebony ponytail, he too had disappeared from sight.
Kai didn't fall to his knees and cry, he didn't shout out Rei's name; he didn't even hang his head. He just stared, at the last place he saw Rei precisely. His arms hanging beside him as though ready to rise up at any second and hold the neko close to him. Eyes, rich and red with that sparkle hidden in their depths, seemed to wait for his lover's face to appear again. Tyson hanged his head, as the stoic Russian just stood there, staring ahead looking lost.
If there was one thing Kai knew know. It's that time is a bitch. Even when the plane flew past the clouds, he was still there, dragged away by Tyson when he had to get his own flight. The two bluenette's walked through the airport, both feeling more alone then ever before.
XPXPXPXP- End flashback type thingy
Those words still echoed around in his mind, like thoughts filled with anxiety and paranoia. They wouldn't leave, even after all that time.
"Don't forget me"
"Not possible"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
The teen griped into his blade tightly, surprised that the edges didn't dig into him and cut his hand. The dim roar of the crowd outside could be heard, even in the dark tunnel. Sure, it was great seeing his native home again. But it wasn't nothing compared to the homesickness he had endured, or more precisely love sickness, over the past few months. The teen pushed himself off the supporting wall and made his way to the battle area. Feeling very sci-fi from the light at the end of the tunnel. The announcer called his name out to a loud and excited crowd.
"This is gonna be a wicked battle"
"He is SOOOO fit"
"COME ON GUYS! YOU CAN DO IT!"
These were just some of the calls that reached their ears. But the two teens just blocked it out, staring straight at the other. He smirked at the teen and put his blade into the launcher.
"3…."
He slowly brought out the ripcord and inserted it, preparing to launch, that smirk still on his lips as his competitor did the same.
"2…."
Their eyes danced with excitment and remembrance, eyes still locked. Mentally thinking the same thing 'Bring it' 'Oh it's brought'
"1…"
Both smiled openly, their features filled with concentration as they both cried out "LET IT RIP!" Putting all their passion into the cry as their blade's danced together in the large red dish, the centre of it had a flat area that was skimmed with water. Eyes were still locked onto the others even as their blade's hit and smashed together, identical smirks on their faces.
"Let's see what you can do Hiwatari"
"More then you can handle Kon"
The neko-jin and bluenette smiled before calling out their bit beasts in a loud fierce battle cry.
"Don't forget me"
"Not possible"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
Hell, all's fair in love and war.
