Do not own Beyblade!

Chapter 3- Me too

"Alright, alright, I will close my eyes, but if they don't open I am blaming you." Tala said in a unsure way.

"Blame me all you want, but make sure your eyes are closed," Kai said still smiling.

"They are..."

Tala was surprised. He was not cut off by words, but by soft, smooth lips against his. Kai had kissed him. Tala was confused, scared, but most of all relieved and happy. He now knew that he liked, no, loved Kai.

"Um...Tala, you can open your eyes now," Kai said with a smile, "If you can that is."

Tala opened his eyes. He looked up at Kai. Tala had to hear it from his mouth. "Why did you kiss me?"

To Kai, his words sounded harsh. He had always thought Tala liked him as more than a friend, but it didn't sound to convincing. "I..." Kai couldn't do it. He ran out of the room. He wanted to say it, but Tala had sounded to harsh just then. He really thought Tala liked him.

"KAI! Wait, where are you going?" Tala asked a little hurt. Then he realized that his question hurt Kai. "Kai wait. I didn't mean it like that!" But it was too late. Kai was faster than Tala, so Kai was no where in sight. "Kai," he whispered, "I love you."

Kai just kept running. He just couldn't stop. He thought if he stopped Tala would be right there and crush him again. He couldn't take that again. He couldn't face Tala. Then he ran into someone, but he just got up and ran. Now the person was chasing him. He didn't care who it was until Kai heard his voice.

"Kai, is something wrong?" Ray asked.

Kai stopped. Ray walked up to him. "Kai are you okay?" Ray asked.

At that moment, just as it started to rain again, Kai just broke down. He told Ray everything that had happened, but he was still as calm as ever. Ray just sat there and listened to every word Kai said. Then finally out came Ray's words of wisdom, "Well, Kai, Tala has been your friend forever, and you said you thought he liked you. Maybe Tala does like you but he was shocked, and needed to hear you tell him that you love him."

"Thanks Ray," Kai said blankly as he walked home.

Tala was now back out in the rain looking for Kai. He felt awful. One because of what he said, two because he was sick. He was shivering and coughing. But he had to find Kai, he just had to. He hoped he would find Kai soon.

Then he saw Ray walking a bit ahead of him. "Hey, Ray!" Tala yelled.

Ray turned around to see a very wet Tala running to catch up with him. "Hey Tala." he responded.

"Have you coughseen Kai?" Tala asked breathlessly. He hoped that Ray had seen Kai.

"Ya, I was talking to him just a few minutes ago. I think he was headed home," Ray replied.

"Thank you so much Ray!" Tala said while running toward Kai's house.

Kai was worried when he found that Tala wasn't there. He started mumbling just as Tala walked in. "Tala!" Kai said, hugging Tala.

Tala shivered. "I am so sorry for what I said before. I just wanted you to say it..." Tala said in a shy tone of voice.

"Say what?" Kai said that evil grin coming back across his face.

"I... cough love you," Tala said quietly.

"I love you too, Tala.
