Okay I'm back! I'm sorry for not posting sooner but like the author note says was really pissing me off! Hopefully it will work this time.

Disclamier: Me no OWN!

Rei opened his eyes and struggled to sit up.

He'd been living with Gal Darklight for about a year now. Rei always tried to get up before he did and get in while he's passed out.

But when Gal was awake before Rei came in or out he always found an excuse to beat him. Whether it be he came in too late or he didn't do the dishes it didn't matter Gal made Rei into his personal punching bag.

Rei hid it from everyone even the white tigers. He just didn't think it was right dragging them into his problems.

Rei got to his feet wobbling slightly as his legs threaten to give out. He changed out of his blood soaked clothes into new ones. Grabbing his beyblade he heading for the door.

Rei opened the door and was relieved that Gal was nowhere in sight. He quickly left his room and opened the front door and running into the forest.

Once he could no longer see the house Rei rested near a tree. He was so tired of living like that. Pretending to be happy when he was miserable and especially lying to his friends.

Rei panted and stood up using the tree for help. He was still healing from last nights bruising but knew that it would heal eventually.

Ever since Gal's beaten's one year ago Rei found out that he did heal faster then both neko-jin's and humans.

He wished his mother was till with him. She'd probably would be comforting him right about now. Whispering soothing things into his ear and saying that she was proud of him.

But she's gone and no matter how much he wished she would never come back.

Rei smiled when he saw his friend's blading. They were all smiling and cheering each other on. He loved watching them blade he always picked up new techniques. Right now him and Lee were developing an attack together. Since they both liked the white tiger spirit Driger they were calling it the tiger claw attack.

"Hey guys!" He called. They each stopped what they were doing and turned their heads towards Rei smiling and greeting him back.

Rei ran towards them, "What are you doing?" He asked. "We're trying to get some practice before we have to do our chores." Replied Mariah.

Rei nodded in understanding and watched Kevin and Gary battle. He and the others were training to get their own bitbeasts that the elder had. Rei was hoping to get Driger. The white tiger reminded him of the one that comforted him when he was five.

But he knew that was selfish of him. Lee was the elder's grandson so he showed the most promise of getting the white tiger bit.

Rei looked over to Lee who was cheering both of them on and giving them tips. He knew that Lee would make a great leader someday, but sometimes he was too closed minded Rei knew that it would be his downfall in the future.

Rei blinked when he heard footsteps approaching them. He turned his head and smiled when he saw Sakura. Sakura had pale skin and long white hair that reached mid-back and the most beautiful shade of pink eyes anyone has ever seen. She was wearing a white shirt with black pants. Rei learned that Sakura was an albino neko-jin. It was why she was pale instead of tan and had pink eyes instead of amber.

"Hi Sakura-chan!" Greeted Rei. Sakura smiled and turned her attention to the others who stopped practicing.

"Hey guys! I need a little help with some chores. And the elder told me to ask you." She said. "We'll help! Right guys!" Said Lee while the others smiled.

Sakura smiled and turned around, "Okay! Follow me!" She said sprinting away with the children close behind.

Before long they were in front of a tall waterfall. Sakura turned to face them, "Apparently my cat climbed to the top of the waterfall, and is refusing to come down. So I was wondering if you could go up there and get her." She asked holding her hands together in a plea.

All of them looked up to the top and could faintly see the outline of a feline. Rei nodded his, "We'll do it Sakura." He said while the others nodded. Sakura smiled in gratitude, "Thank you Rei-chan." She said.

Lee and the others were already climbing to the top and Rei was about to join them but stopped. Sakura didn't usually need help with her cat and the elders told her to find them? It wasn't right.

Then it clicked Sakura was testing them. Rei looked at Sakura at the corner of his eye who was looking at the climbing kids when she looked at Rei he looked away.

"You better hurry Rei…your friends will be at the top without you." She said and Rei nodded.

Rei started climbing after them still suspicious about Sakura, but snapped out of it when he heard Mariah scream. Rei looked up and felt his eyes widen as Mariah fell.

Rei tensed his muscles and as she fell by grabbed her arm. The full weight of Mariah and the speed she was falling at managed to dislocate his arm. Rei let out a small cry but didn't let go.

Mariah looked up at him worried. Rei gritted his teeth in pain as he struggled to pull her up. Once Mariah was back against the rocks again Rei let go of her and tried to regain his breath.

"Rei…? Are you okay?" She asked hesitatingly she noticed Rei's arm hanging loosely at his side. Rei nodded his, "I'm okay Mariah just let me catch my breath." He said looking at her with a kind smile.

Mariah blinked then smiled in return, "You catch up with the others I'll be right behind you." He said looking up at the others who were looking down at them worried.

Mariah nodded a little worried to leave him but did. When Rei was sure she was out of hearing distances he slammed his shoulder hard against the causing a disgusting popping sound as his arm slipped back into place. Rei moved his arm a bit then when he was sure it was fine started climbing again.

Sakura smiled, 'I knew he find a way. He'll make a great leader one day.' She thought.

Once they reached the top the looked around for Sakura's cat but didn't find her. Rei narrowed his eyes in thought than looked back down and felt his eyes widen when he saw Sakura's cat sitting in her lap.

Sakura smiled up at them, "Good job you guys! It appears Yuna came down as you were going up! You can come down!" She yelled.

Everyone stared at her in disbelief then sighed and started climbing down.

When they finally made it back down Sakura was standing their smiling, "Good job! As my thanks to you, you can have the rest of the day off!" She declared.

Everyone cheered and rushed back to their practice field. As they were running back Rei turned to look at Sakura, "Thanks!" He yelled before running out of sight.

Sakura blinked in surprise before smiling, 'I knew he'd figure it out.' She thought.

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

Rei panted and came to rest under a tree. Everyone has been training since this morning and it was now lunch.

Rei didn't have time to pack a lunch this morning since he wanted to leave A.S.A.P, but he knew that his friends would share.

"Here Rei." Said Gary giving Rei half of his sub. Rei stared at it in surprise, "What's this for Gary?" He asked.

"I noticed you forgot your lunch and since I always pack more food then the other I should share." He said smiling.

Rei smiled in return, "Thanks Gary."

Gary's smile widen as he bit into his own half. Rei took a bite from his own. Gary's parents were great chefs usually the elders ask them to cook for party's or something else.

The day went by pretty fast for Rei as he headed back to his home.

Rei stood outside of the door not knowing weather to knock or go in. Rei touched the doorknob and opened the door and walked inside.

He looked around the room to see it empty. No one was here or so he thought. As soon as he headed for his room he was grabbed by his hair and thrown into a wall. Rei let out a painful cry as he connected with the wall.

He struggled to lift his head and look at his attacker not surprised to see Gai. Rei could feel uncontrollable anger towards him as his sight bled red and then everything went black.

When Rei opened his eyes and looked around and screamed. Thee before him was Gai mangled up so you could barely recognize him. Blood was everywhere on the ceiling walls and on him. He was drenched in blood especially his hands and mouth. Rei could taste the metallic liquid as he swallowed it.

Rei stood up on shaky legs looking around in horror. What could've done such a thing. Did he…did he do it. Rei backed away from the gruesome scene and ran into his room shutting the door behind.

He was so confused he couldn't remember doing anything just passing out nothing more. Rei shakily walked over to his bed.

When he was about to sit on it he stopped, and ran towards the bathroom throwing up in the toilet.

When he finally stopped he took off his clothes and started washing himself. He scrubbed himself until he was raw when he got out. Rei walked back in to his room and collapsed onto the bed and felt tears stings his eyes.

He just murdered someone and now it was going to be harder to keep his mask on.

Okay this was the real chapter 6 so hopefully you like.

Till next time!
