The look in her eyes, something about it… what was it…? Tayo seemed to deep in thought, as was he. But something stopped his committing the action that he longed to do… The world crashed around him, reminding Kai that he couldn't care, he could… love.

Her touch on his forehead felt like a hot poker. He couldn't stand it, her fingers scarred so much, healed wounds from many years ago began to open, and out seeped a poisonous liquid.

How weird they felt… like nothing he had experienced before. So gentle, so caring… so loving!

Love? That was something he was banned from for all eternity. ST. Peter turned him away at the gates of heaven were he would be cherished by the person he felt so connected to. They would be there, waiting for him with their hands out stretched. Taking it, Kai knew that he would be safe… forever.

But that was all just a dream… not reality. It would never happen, he was Kai Hiwatari, never to be loved. Damned to be disliked by all that knew him. This thought hurt so much, he wanted to be loved, never had his poor lonely heart experienced that burning emotion. But how his heart craved for it. Almost crying out in search for the missing link. Knowing it will never come made the aching in his loneliness stomach cry with sorry. I need to be loved…

"Get away from me…"

Why did he say that! The hurtful words just spilled out of his mouth like wildfire. It wasn't him talking, it was someone else.

His Grand Father? It had to be. Who else had made him grow up through his mindless childhood teaching him that life had no room for love? Him. Who told him that you were no longer man if you accepted a draw in battle? Him. Who filled his life with mindless lies about the spirit of BeyBlading, and how it only existed in the hearts of the weak? Him. It was always him!

How he despised the sight of his face! He was the one that told him he could never be loved. He was the one that told him to 'fight to the death' for the thing you're forced to believe in. He was the one that told him the spirit of BeyBlading was just something that weak people conjured up in their tiny little brains to make up for the lose

Now, whose fault was it that made him drive away the only person that he felt he could love? His! It twisted his heart with indescribable agony as he saw the look in her eyes once the four hateful words passed his cursed lips.

There was something so strange about the way she looked. She looked almost like …him staring right back… The reflection of himself burned in her eyes. It was so strange, so weird, so serial!

But it was not long before he was flung from her protective touch and thrown aside. Tayo ran for all it was worth. The further away she got, the more he missed her. Each step felt like an extra knot had been added to the endless mass in his throat.

That was it. He had lost her. It felt like she would never come back. But she would… right? She wouldn't be gone… forever! Tayo had to come back! She just had to! Who else was there to take care of him? She was the only one that had ever made the effort to help his every need… even though he was so horrible to her.

Why? Why did he push her away? Tayo Lee was the only person in this harsh world that would ever have any other feeling for him other than hate. But Kai drove her away to the point were she couldn't even physically bear to be with him.

Tayo's hair covered her face as she dashed out the cabin and down the dirt path out of sight. Kai could almost hear the pain that cried out from her heart. He had done this… it took a while for this to sink in. HE did this; it was HIM who made Tayo feel this emotion of such reject. Would he ever be able to get her back? Did he even want to fine out!

A small voice at the back of his mind hissed a suggestion into his ear. Kai knew the sound of that voice. It was Dranzer. Ever since their hearts connected all that time ago, Kai had always been able to silently communicate with his precious BitBeast. He supposed that Dranzer was the ONLY person that he felt this alien emotion of 'love' towards. He had always been there through his rough times and bad, always helping him along the path of destiny to where ever it would lead him. Kai always trusted his advise, after all, he loved him…

"Run… away…!"

As soon as the words registered, Kai Hiwatari stood tall. If this was what Dranzer said he should so, then he'd do it. Simple! His Blade was still in the firm grasp of his hand, looking down at it, the 'Bit-Chip' shimmered almost giving the effect that Dranzer gave his master a secret wink.

Everything would be OK from now on; Dranzer would always be with him. Not like some girl he hardly knew. How could he of even thought that he 'loved' her, what a weakling thought! His strong frame of mind was back in place, this time it would stay there!

Kai marched slowly out of the cabin as if walking into a BeyBlading arena for a match. With a determined expression, he snatched his cleaned and repaired clothes (By Tayo) off of the line.

With his itchy trousers that Tayo 'made' him wear discarded, the BeyBlading champion now felt on top form again. His white scarf billowed behind him in the gentle breeze slightly. No stupid broken ribs would stop him from completing his vital training this time! His love of Blading had returned! It was about time he out his skills to the test once more.

Swiftly taking his launcher from his belt, Kai took the ripcord from his pocket and placed it in his mouth with a free hand. With the other he slammed Dranzer against the launcher accompanied by the sound of grinding metal. Slipping the cord through, Kai jumped into a full of stance.

His eyes flickered from side to side looking for an object to smash to pieces with his awesome power. A tree stump caught his eye. Turning his hand position to the right angle, he adjusted it slightly to the left so he got more of a spin advantage.

The three numbers that always made his heart race played in his head. 3… this was it! 2… he was back! 1… a BeyBlader! LET IT RIP!

With amazing force and agility, Kai pulled the cord from the launcher sending his Blade flying at light seep towards to the trunk. At impact, it blasted the rotten piece of tree to a hundred pieces making them fly off in every direction. A heavy dust sank over the area. When it had cleared, Kai caught sight of his blade spinning, perfectly balanced in the middle of the trunk. Not even a wobble! He was back!
