Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter. Although I only planned to make this a one-shot, my inspiration thought otherwise. I'm not sure how long I plan on making this but for now, here's chapter two. Now for my disclaimer... (1) I don't own any rights to Beyblade except for this story and what I've bought in stores. (2) If you have time, please go check out my co-written works with Light all posted under her name, EclipsedLight. All of them except for "The Cat's Past" and "Crimson" I have worked on with her. (3) Please read and review! I love hearing from everyone and was so happy about the reviews I had received from the first chapter. Thank you all!

Now for continuing "A Lesson in Love" with…The White Scarf

A two-toned boy began to stir from his peaceful sleep as a glare from the window reflected and perfectly aimed at his eyes. Fluttering his eyelashes as his eyes winced at the sudden brightness; Kai looked down his clothed chest to see an arm wrapped across it. Attached to the arm was a sleeping navy-haired boy who continued to sleep peacefully next to his awakened companion. A small smile formed on Kai's lips at the sight.

To think that Tyson would be so good at kissing…A part of me wishes that he was up but he's just so…so…cute? Cute, what the hell? That's the best word I could come up with.

A door slamming a little too loudly drew Kai away from his thoughts and suddenly filled him with panic.

Rei, Max, I forgot about those two. I let my guard down too much…

Kai slowly lifted Tyson's arm off his body, making sure that the boy didn't awake before he was gone. Tyson, although still sleeping, refused to release Kai's warm, comfortable body and squeezed his body closer which left Kai to resort to another tactic. Again slowly releasing the sleeping boy's grip, Kai replaced a pillow that had been behind his head in his place. The tactic worked perfectly as Tyson clung to the pillow and continued to sleep. Kai sneaked out of Tyson's room and made his way, still being very quiet as he did so, back to his own room. Pulling at the covers and then replacing them over his clothes, Kai lay in the comfort of his own bed yet could not feel the warmth that Tyson's bed held nor the lure of sleep for his thoughts of the morning continued to swirl over and over again in his mind.

Meanwhile, a door opened to reveal a sleepy Max rubbing his eyes as he exited the bathroom, a low sound of rushing water followed him out but died quickly. Yawning again, Max began his usual journey back to his room before he paused just outside of Tyson's room. A mix of confusion crossed his face as he saw that the door was halfway open and not closed as it had been earlier when he had pasted by it on his way to the bathroom. Max stuck his head inside and saw his blue-haired friend sleeping peacefully. Everything looked just as it should and Max began to pull his head back into the hallway when his eyes caught a glimpse of something unusual. Opening the door wider so that he could slide his small frame inside without making too much noise, Max walked over to the one thing that had caught his attention. Lifting up the white piece of cloth which turned out to be a scarf, Max noticed the resemblance that it held to his team captain's own white scarf. Questions and scenarios began to fill Max's thoughts.

Not noticing that Tyson began to stir, Max jumped in surprise when he heard a voice ask, "Uh…Max, what are you doing in my room?" Max stood up abruptly, quickly placing his hands behind his back along with the scarf.

"Oh, uh, sorry Ty," Max stuttered before smiling weakly. "I just came to check on you and tell you that practice was cancelled this morning. Rei and I forgot to tell you before we went back to bed earlier."

"Oh." Tyson replied as he stood up, rubbing his messy blue hair. "That's okay Max, I heard Kai this morning. Anything else?"

"Uh, Tyson, was…" Max started as he stared at his yawning friend. "Never mind, well, I better go help Rei get breakfast started." Max replied as he left, with Tyson replying that he would be down shortly. Max shut Tyson's door and leaned against it with the white scarf still in his hand and a jumble of questions still left unanswered racing through his brain.

Why was Kai's scarf in Tyson's room? Could this morning's practice being cancelled have something to do with it? Is it possible that something is going on with Kai and Tyson? Could they be…lovers? Max shook his head at the last thought. Impossible… was the last thing he thought before he headed into the kitchen where the aroma of pancakes and sausage was already wafting through the hall.

Max shoved the white scarf into his right pant's pocket and walked into the kitchen where he saw Rei flipping some pancakes in a pan. Max sat down at the table, and shouted, "Morning Rei!"

Rei turned around for a moment, replied "morning Max" and returned to making breakfast. The room became silent. Rei finished two pancakes, which were golden brown and place them onto a nearby plate that already had some pancakes stacked on top of it. Adding more batter to the pan, Rei waited patiently for small bubbles to start forming. But the pancakes weren't really Rei's focus at the moment, it was Max. He knew that any minute now Max would start spilling out his problem to him, because Max rarely got quiet unless something was really bothering him. Rei was right when Max began to speak.

"Uh, Rei, have you noticed any changes lately between Kai and Tyson?" Rei turned to face Max and saw the boy staring at him with his head resting on his palm, questioningly.

"Not really. They still bicker like always. Why, what's up?"

"Well I found…" But Max trailed as he saw Kai walk inside the kitchen, joining his two teammates.

"Oh morning Kai," Rei smiled at his stoic captain, who only "Hn" in reply before turning back to Max. "What were you saying, Max?"

"I, uh, I… forgot to brush my teeth! I'll be right back!" Max replied as he jumped up from his seat and raced past Kai.

"What was that all about?" Rei questioned out loud before returning to the pancakes. Kai only raised an eyebrow in response and followed Max's trail out of the kitchen with his eyes. Shrugging it off, Kai leaned against the kitchen wall and closed his eyes; his mind was already filling with thoughts of Tyson.
