Kimkizna: HIIIIIIIIIII It's me once again! This is my fic for the winter holidays! And don't worry about the story The Angels I'm currently working on it, and trying to do it in my spare time.

Kai: And it's basically about me.

Kimkizna: Kai, the reason I make fics about beyblade, is cuz I care for you! (with the heart background)

Kai: How about no!

Kimkizna: Meanie!(pouts)

Kai: Hn

Kimkizna: I don't own beyblade, but I wish I did. I only own the OCs and the plotline. But I don't own a this particular scene though, one of my fav. authoresses allowed me to use it in in my story.I hope you like it!

Then this mysteious mist comes and in the mist might be Kai's savior from depression.

((Chapter 1: A Gift for Myself, is My Depression))

Normal P.O.V.

It was December and Christmas was more than two weeks away, and everybody was busy buying, decorating, and celebrating for the holidays. Especially in the house of the G-Revolutions(I just like this name! and I put Daichi in this one too!). There everybody was making sure everything would be perfect! Because this year, there would be a huge party for all their friends and themselves. Hilary and Kenny went shopping for the decorations and gifts. Max and Rei went to buy ingredients for their Christmas dinner and gifts. Tyson and Daichiwent togo buy sweets for the holidays and gifts for their friends. Which left Kai all alone at Tyson's house.

Kai sighed, while looking out the window to see the snowflakes falling oh-so-gently. 'Another holiday like always, except now I have friends once again with me, instead of the cold abbey in Russia.'

"I wonder what's takingthem so long?" Kai asked aloud.

"Because they left you all alone." said a voice in his head."Your friends are probably celebrating the holidays without you."

"NO they wouldn't! They said they would come back as soon as possible,"Kai said with an agitated tone.

"Why would they come back anyway? There isn't much here but you, a nobody."

"Take that back!" Kai shouted, now at his highest anger point.

"Why? You were cheered for during some matches, but inside, I bet they never cared."

"..."Kai was speechless.

" You know it's true. When have they ever thought of you as a friend? Or shed tears for you? Tell you how a great friend you are? Or even worried about you?"

"Actually, they haven't. They never really showed a bit of concern to me,or from what I can see," Kai said, with his head drooping.

"See? It's true and you know it. They all probably went elsewhere for the holidays leaving you by your lonesome."

"Maybe you're right. They never really cared for me, they were just there. I don't even deserve to live," Kai said in an extremely depressed voice.

"Yeah, you should die. But you don't even have the guts to do it!" teased the voice.

"Oh yeah?"Then Kai ran into the kitchen and searched for what he was looking for,a large sharp butcher's knife. Then Kai cut his left and right fore arms quite deep, that the blood just seemed to be a flowing river of red. Kai soon realized what he was doing, and dropped the blood stained knife on the counter.

"What am I doing?" Kai asked aloud. Then he took both his arms and started rinsing them in the sink.' What will the others think when they see me like this? '

"Why did you stop? You really are weak! This is probably why your friends never wanted to be your friend in the first place. Yeah, you were sooooo weak that your friends stopped relying on you."

"Heh, I hate to say it but your right. I did some stuff that made my friends to stop relying on me. Like that time in Russia when I betrayed them. I never cared about them, so I guess they never cared about me. They just wanted me because of my strength. I shouldn't have stopped," Kai said with even more depresed. Then Kai took the knife once again and stabbed himself in the right shoulder with a cry of pain but held it in, then continuing, he cut his left leg. Because of all the blood loss, Kai began to feel a bit faint, but was still able to stand.The more Kai hurt himself, the more IT ,the voice Kai keeps hearing, would start to fade.Soon Kai reached for the cabinet and searched for some glass cups, then took one and threw it on the ground, and took the pieces and dug them into his arms and legs and left the pieces in their gashes.

"Still not good enough," Kai growled to himself.

"Yeah that's right, you're still not dead yet," the voice teased once again.

'We'll see about that,' thought Kai as he headed for the door leading outside to the bitter cold. he of course didn't wish to take his jacket with him, he wanted to catch cold, so he may die of illness as well. Then Kai ran into the street, then saw car headlights and was lost in a trance. Soon the car hit its unexpected target, sending Kai flying onto the pavement across the street;then he leaned on to a tree for support. As he tried to stand up, his right leg sent a sharp jolt of pain up his leg. ' I guess it's broken'

Then Kai limped back to the house and started coughing really hard. ' I guess I also got a cold too.' Kai thought while smirking. Then Kai stood up ignoring the pain, heading to the bathroom. When he entered, he looked into the mirror and saw his reflection. The young Russian, saw that he was extremely pale from the blood loss, about to collapse and die right there and now; nonetheless he had to add one more thing to his suicide. He reached his hand into the medicine cabinet and took out two containers of medicine or some type of pills and placed them on the counter. He began to stare at one of the containers, then looked up to once again to see his reflection staring back at him.

" So this is my real face. What a pathetic face. I bet those guys won't even miss looking at this face again. It's a win-win if I kill myself. I don't have to burden my friends anymore, IT won't bother me anymore, and I won't be depressed again or at least not in this world," Kai said while smiling sadly. Then Kai took at least half of the first container and half of the other one. Then he felt everything go all blurry and dizzy. Soon he stumbled out of the bathroom and started walking to the living room and fell to the floor while blood still bled from his gashes causing a pool of blood around his body.

"Heh...this...is how ...I'm...gonna...die then," Kai said his last words before drifting off into unconsciousness.

( At the Store)

"Finally! I got the shopping done!" Hilary exclaimed as she exited the store. She was waiting for the other guys to come out. Then she saw Max and Rei helping Kenny carry some bags; then Tyson and Daichi came while munching on some cookies.

"Hey Hilary!" greeted Max.

"Hey you guys!" Hilary waved to her fellow teammates." So are you guys ready to go back?"

"Yeah you bet!" everybody said in unison.

As they were walking home to Tyson's house they were talking about what they bought and what they were going to do for the holidays.

"Rei I hope you make another awesome meal!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Yeah maybe," Rei said with a chuckle.

"Hey what did you guys get for Kai?" Hilary asked all of a sudden.

"Well you'll have to wait and see, cuz' we're not telling you because we know you'll just blab everything to Kai," Daichi said smugly at Hilary.

"Say WHAT!" shouted Hilary. Then sighs in defeat." You're probably right, we all want our gifts to be a surprise."

Then the walk back was just peaceful just like the snowflakes falling. They were so excited to see there cold captain, and see what they were up to. After a minutes of walking they were finally able to get back and walk through the door.

"Hey Kai We're Back!" Tyson yelled throughout the dojo. " Hey Kai..." Then everybody was in shock of what they saw, their friend on the floor surrounded in a pool of blood.

" KAI!" shouted everybody as they put their bags down to go check on their captain. Hilary started panicking over what to do and kept asking if he was okay; Rei checked for a pulse and was lucky to find one but barely; Kenny, Max, and Daichi checked the around the house to see what had harmed their friend; while Tyson just stared at their friend.

"Is he going to be okay?" Hilary asked with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know Hil', he has a pulse but it's really faint. He also looks really pale, and by the looks of it also has a fever. I just don't know if he'll be okay," Rei said sadly.

Then Max, Kenny, and Daichi walk into the room, holding a few items. They put down a knife covered in blood, pieces of glass stained with blood, and two containers half-empty of medicine/pills.

Tyson finally looked up and then realized what Kai had done." Did Kai...?"

Then Max sadly nodded his head. "Yeah he must've judging by these items."

"Kai. why did you try and...and kill yourself!" cried Hilary.

"No way! There is no way Kai would do it!" shouted Tyson, then looked at his dear friend on the ground. " Kai Come on! If this is a joke, then you can stop now!"

Then their almost lifeless friend's eyes started to flutter open. Soon they saw a pair of light purple eyes looking up at them. Kai was alive! But was merely hanging on to a thread to dear life.

"Damn, I'm still alive. And after all that hard work too," Kai said with a bit of disappointment in his voice, turning his head to side

Everybody was in shock, when they heard their captain's words. " What do you mean Kai? You wanted to die?" Tyson said, getting once again upset.

Kai then looked up at his friends and said,"Why do you guys care? I thought you guys thought I was weak. IT told me that you guys never cared and and IT was right. I deserve to die, I don't deserve to live. And if I die, you won't have to burdened by me, I don't have to be depressed anymore, and IT won't bother me anymore. I guess this a gift to myself, my depression which leads to my suicide." Kai then closed his eyes hoping never to open them again.

"KAI?" Everybody shouted, attempting to awaken their friend.

"Kai, Please Don't Leave Us!" cried Hilary, with streams ofmore tears still flowing down her cheek.

"Kai Hang in there!" Max and Daichi yelled together. "Kai, I need a good opponent to battle with," Daichi said gloomfully.

"Kai we need you!" Kenny cried as well, while trying to find a way to get help.

"Kai come on! Don't give up!" Rei said, with tears welling up in his eyes as well.

"Kai Stay Strong! Just Like You Always Have!" shouted Tyson, then tears flowed down his cheeks.

'Will someone please help us and our friend, please?' thought everyone.

But their almost lifeless friend, could not hear their words, and just stayed unconscious.

(Outside)

Suddenly, a thick mist just appeared out of no where, and a figure was walking through the mist. She was a 16-year-old girl and had long silverish blonde hair that went to her mid-back and was let down. With a few strands of hair framing her face as well. She had emerald green eyes, and was wearing blue teardrop-shaped earrings. She was wearing dark blue skirt, a cream-colored coat, a scarf, a light orange sweater underneath, and cream colored snow boots. She soon walked out of the mist and looked for a house that had a sad aura within

After a few minutes she had arrived at the particular house. And soon took a look around the area. " This is the one. I wonder what has caused such an aura?" she asked herself.

(Inside)

The others were pondering about Kai's words and wondered why he said them. They were all in the living room where Rei and Tyson had carried him and set him on a futon.

" What do you think he meant by IT ?" Max asked, breaking the silence that was around them.

"Who knows? It could be whatever that made Kai think that we hated him," Kenny said gloomfully. Then he closed Dizzi with a sigh." There isn't a doctor open anywhere I guess they wanted to start the holidays early, so we have to wait, and Mr.Dickinson is on vacation at the moment, so no luck there. And we all know that Grandpa is away and won't be back for a while."

"If...If only we g-g-got here earlier, or if I had stopped shopping sooner, I could've came and stopped him. Or one of us could've," cried Hilary, as more tears just kept coming. Tyson held Hilary in his arms, trying to help her stay calm in this situation.

"Come on Hil', we have to be strong for him. How else is he going to be strong himself?" Tyson said while comforting his friend as they stared at their friend who was on a futon resting so peaefully.

Then Rei heard a knock at the door with his keen ears. He soon got up and walked over to the door to see who would visit at this hour.

He was soon at the door and opened it, only to find a teenaged girl standing in front of him. She took her hood off and greeted the neko-jin with the kindest smile he has ever seen.

"Hello, my name is Misty C. Snow,"said the teenager in front of Rei's amber eyes." And I came to wish you and your friends Happy Holidays."
