So I totally just updated chapter 6 again thinking it was new…so heres the real chapter 7.

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade but I do own Johnny..yeah that's right.

"Eh, its not much man, but it gets the job done you know?" Johnny stated yawning.

"Yeah… it does." Kai said looking up at the steel and rusted rafters.

Johnny eyed Kai curiously.

"So, you taking a trip down memory lane or what?"

Kai snapped out of it instantly as he got out of the daze he was in.

"…I know this place.." Johnny looked at Kai for a moment and he noticed the look Kai had in his eyes. It was as if he was there, but not. Kai looked up at the rusted beams and breathed in the smell of the must and dust of the place.

"Just like it always was…" Kai said to himself with a little astonishment and comfort in his voice.

"So, you've been here before then?" Johnny said prying a little.

"yeah, its been… 3 or 4 years.. Man.. I…forgot about this place.." Kai said still looking around with his deep red eyes.

"You can explain this to me later Kai because Im curious, I have to say… why don't we go to sleep." Kai nodded peacefully to Johnny. It was funny, this where house was the only place Kai felt safe and warm. Strange really.

"Have yer pick man, blue or… pukish blue.." Johnny said holding up two wool plaid blankets.

"Uh.. How about blue?" Kai said looking at the 'pukish' blue one. Johnny cringed a bit "Thought so… at least its not real puke or anything.."

Both boys settled into their mock beds which were quit comfortable. The lighting in the where house was dimm with moonlight gleaming in through the huge dusty windows.

"It was great meeting you Kai.." Johnny said as he slowly drift off to sleep, reassured that they had beer and they had bread.

"Yeah, Its great to know you too." Kai said sincerely, as the musty smell and coziness of the familiar place cradled Kai to sleep.

The next morning the Bladebreakers slowly woke up. This morning wasn't much different from yesterdays morning, except this morning they all knew, that Kai wasn't there. Rei, being the first one to rise this morning slowly sat up in bed looking at the black and white clock that hung off the wooden wall. It read 10:30 a.m.

'man, kai.. Why do you always have to run off?' Rei though as he saw the empty cot that once again had not been occupied that night. "you worry us Kai."

Rei stretched his arms trying to forget his worries for a moment. It's a real shame to wake up at 10:30 and already have your mind clouded with worries. When imagining where Kai was he pictured him alone in a desolate place that he didn't recognize where the trees where all dead and everything had no life to it. This image disturbed Rei a lot because in it Kai was hurting himself. He looked extremely pail and sad. He had small cuts up and down his arm that were self afflicted. Rei's heart just sunk into his soul. Small tears crept into his eyes as he tried desperately to knock the hopefully false vision out of his mind. But it was still there. Rei ran his tanned hand through his black raven hair as he watched his friends, they all showed signs of waking.

"Morning Rei.." Max said yawning and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Have a bad dream?" Max asked seeing the worry and fright in Rei's features.

"yeah.. Sorta.. More like a vision.. About Kai.." Rei said. Hearing Kai's name Max looked over at the empty cot for the 2nd morning. "..oh… don't worry he can take care of himself." Regardless of Max's optimism Rei could hear the saddness and change of mood. "Im worried too Max." Rei said. "We should look for him today! We'll all split up and then look that way, surely one of us will find him, and chances are he'll show up soon anyway."

And that is how the search party for Kai was arranged. Rei shuttered at the image of Kai he had and prayed that it wasn't so. The others slowly woke up, each noticing the emptiness of the room. It was weird how even the most quiet and reserved friends made a group complete. Without Kai it just wasn't the Bladebreakers.

That morning even though they were still amongst their personal guests, there was a quiet reflextive mood radiating around the kitchen table. The food didn't quite taste as good as the morning before, and though there was pleasant conversation, non of the Bladebreaker's heart was really in it. It shouldn't surprise them at all if Kai ventures of for a few days, he's done it more then once, but under these circumstances, and what has happened the past week it worried them… very much.

Rei sat next to Mariah. It was obvious she was trying to get some conversation out of him, and it made her a little mad that someone else was the center of his thoughts; even though she was here.

"Rei, whats the matter with you..?" Mariah asked gently trying to blow off her growing jealousy; Mariah was never good with patience either.

Rei looked up at her and saw her golden honey eyes and her pink playful hair, but his heart didn't skip a beat this time. He was too worried.

"..I… Im just worried… Its Kai, actually… he..he left the night of the party and hasn't been back since… he does it a lot, but this time I have reason to worry…" Rei said calmy with a little bit of nervousness. He knew for a fact that Mariah really didn't like Kai. IT seemed she would never get over and let go of what he did to them all. As far as she was concerned, he was a liar, a cheater, and had no respect for the art of Beyblade.

"So that's what it is! Kai.. Your worried about HIM! Rei Kon! You have no reason at all to worry, especially after what he did!" Mariah said quiet enough so that it was still a private conversation, but Rei heard the anger it it anyway.

"You don't understand… a few weeks ago he was outside like he always is, and it was raining. I went outside to go to the store, but I got detoured and went through the park. I saw him stand up and walk to thie edge of the cliff. He just stood there looking up at the sky. He was really wet Mariah.. The rain was freezing too. He looked like he was going to jump. I walked up to him and he just broke down. He asked me why he's still alive, and why he should keep living. He told me that he hated his life, and nothing was fair… he said he hated himself… and everything is his fault… all the beatings and anger towards him is his own fault." Rei trailed off as he remembered the miserable look on his captains face. It was horrible to see such a strong boy break down and want to kill himself.

Out of courtesy Rei didn't tell anyone, but he kept a closer eye on Kai. He noticed that he was a bit more quiet and acted ashamed when he was around Rei, but other then that he was fine.

"Well….. You're worried he killed himself..?" Mariah asked trying to word her question in the best possible way.

"No.. but I think he's doing something that will set him up.. I don't know Mariah, I had a dream, almost a vision about it…"

Now Mariah had really mixed feelings.. Does she still hate Kai after hearing this?

Is he really as anti-emotional as he looks?

And does she feel bad for him?

The answers…. Yes… no…yes..

Mariah looked down at her plate of food in front of her in shame. She felt guilty that she still hated Kai.. She couldn't help it, after his betrayal Rei was so hurt, and he stole her bit beast… but was that the case now? She wasn't sure; its possible and all, but… she was also jealous.. Right now even though she was here for Rei, he was thinking about Kai. It wasn't fair.. None if it was.

Mariah looked around the colorful sunlight splashed dojo and saw her friends all talking and enjoying their breakfast, but on the inside they were all somewhat worried about Kai. "Rei, we need to go look for him. I think you might be right, he oculd be in trouble.. I never liked Kai much, but this time I think we should look for him.. Im worried too Rei…" Mariah said surprising herself. Rei looked up at his team and their guests and together they arranged a small search party for him, that would launch off after lunch.

Kai and Johnny slept through the morning in the musty old wherehouse that was reffered to as home. The recently purchased beer sat on the floor next to the out of place looking loaf of Wonder bread. At about 2:30 in the afternoon Kai awoke. He sat up slowly shaking his head. At first he forgot where he was. But the smell of the old warehouse immediately brought it all back. Somehow his mind wandered to the girl he met.

"she was so… beautiful.." That's the thought that crossed Kai's mind. He remembered her so clearly and it made him happy that he hadn't forgotten. She had such a unique look but somehow it worked for her. Her hair was a dirty blonde color that had messy matted curls that cascaded down her messy ponytail. She had dark eyes with liquid blue in the center and a bunch of dark black makeup around them. Her lips, he remembered, were a dark red color, the color of his eyes really.

Kai's thoughts were interrupted as Johnny stirred in his sleep, and shortly after awoke. His obnoxious orange-red mowhawk was a little damaged from the nights sleep but it didn't look weird at all, Johnny overall was a mess, and so was Kai.

"Morning dar-ling.." Johnny said rubbing his eyes with his sleep; his sarcasm already in gear. "..morning'.." Kai responded.

"Did you sleep well Kai?" Johnny asked, this time sincerely.

"Yeah, I did.. You?"

"Same I spose, but I mean its not the best place to sleep…. To tell you that truth, im a bit surprised you were ok after all the smoking we did the day of yester." Johnny said looking at Kai.

"Yeah.. Well… Ive done it before.." Kai said smiling a bit, and this answer made Johnny smile a bit aswell.

"So mate, whats on yer mind?" Johnny asked as he positioned himself on the bed so he was facing Kai, as Kai just leaned against the wall.

"..That girl.. The one I gave drug-money too…"

"yeah, and what about her?" Johnny asked a little disappointed that it was only her he was thinking about.

"well, she was… I don't know…. I just want to find her.." Kai said, "I don't know anything about her, and she never gave me the stuff anyhow."

"She's serious trouble, Kai, I'm older then you, and Ive been doing this longer then you have. She's nothing but trouble, mate. Believe me, she does heroin supposedly and lots of it. I wouldn't get involved with her, she's not a good idea.." Johnny said looking at Kai seriously.

"Whatever… so what are we gonna do today." Kai said trying to de-tensify the mood.

Johnny smiled, leant back, then thrust forward quickly so he was standing up. He took a deep stretch, and smiled a toothy smile. Kai noticed that his teeth were fairly straight but they had faint stains one obtains from smoking and drinking.

"eh… I was thinking we could get drunk or something.. I mean that's what the beer is for, and I have a few cigarettes around here somewhere.

Kai smiled… somehow he didn't expect anything less.

The clock read 12 pm, and according to Johnny that meant it was officialy not morning any longer, so that implied with careful thought that it was alright to booze off without being an alcoholic. Johnny finished lacing up his boots, adjusted his belt buckle, sleeked his mowhak up, so practically stood straight with Vaseline, and handed Kai the first beer.

"Cheers!"

Back at the dojo the clock read 2:30 pm and they were in the dojo considering the search party some more. All the guests agreed and had somewhat a relationship with him, so it was settled. Just the Bladebreakers including Hillary (shes in the story now!) would go searching for him, because they were the closest and knew Kai's behavior better then anyone. So they all took off.

After checking all his usually places, such as the beach, the bridge, the cliff.. Under the bridge, and in parks they sat on a bench discouraged.

"dang it!" Tyson shouted slamming his fist on the side of the old bus stop bench in the downtown area.

"TYSON! Calm down.. We'll find him!" Hillary said tapping him on the back. They were starting to get worried, especially Rei.. After what he saw that rainy night.

The streets still had puddles in it and the sky was now a grey colour. There was no more rain to come, at least so said the forecast, but who can really predict weather truthfully?

Kai and Johnny were sitting back in the junkie alley drinking their beer that was almost out: 1 bottle left. Kai had 3 bottles plus 3 shots of hard alcohal they found plus another can of beer they found later outside and Johnny had 3 bottles plus 5 shots of hard alcohal. The last they would split. Kai found that he really enjoyed Johnny, especially a drunken Johnny. He was always trying to pick fights with anyone who looked at him wrong, old ladies, young school girls, mature women, straight edges who nearly did come and beat them, yuppies, old men, store keepers, busniness men.. Cars..everyone. He even started lightly yelling at an elderly lady who was looking at them suspiciously. In the alley he got into one fist fight, and another was just a rotten exchange of words with a fellow junkie.

Kai was completely irrational when he was drunk as well. He showed his feelings and acted invinsible. When Kai was drunk, he felt invinsible aswell; he liked it.

Johnny put hung his arm loosly around Kai's shoulders and with slurred words said, "What saayy we gooo then?" Johnny said trying to collect himself of the ground. Kai tried to get up as well but they fell a couple of times, falling on one another and laughing hysterically. Once they got up Johnny's arm remained around Kai's shoulders trying to keep his balance and this is how they confronted the Bladebreakers, in their drunken state.

Together Kai and Johnny; Johnny and Kai, walked down the pavement sidewalk. They were drunk, they were young, and they didn't care one bit. Johnny kept casting people dirty glares, now at random. And Kai started slowly fall under Johnnys weight.

The search party decided to get up, and keep looking for their supposed miserable captain. And find him they did.

Rei was the first to spot him, walking down the road with his friend Johnny around him dragging him down. Immediately he could tell something was wrong. They were walking in the middle of the road, which now was luckily abandoned, and they couldn't walk a straight path.

"Hey, guys…" Rei said nudging them and motioning toward the figures slowly, but surely coming toward them.

"You don't think.." Max said.. "That's Kai? " Tyson interrupted.. No way.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" they heard an extremely agitated boy with a British pissed of accent yelling at a 17 year old girl. The girl jumped a little but tried to ignore the harrasment.

Tyson and Rei immediately ran ahead to catch Kai and his companion.

As they approached the boys in the middle of the road, they both immediately smelt of strong liquor and smoke. Johnny was so drunk he was about ready to collapse and Kai was really drunk as well, but he was trying to hold Johnny up regardless.

"KAI!" Rei yelled with fury and anger in his voice, but Kai just ignored it and kept walking with Johnny's arm slouched across his shoulders.

Rei was taken aback by the apathy his captain had, but he kept telling himself he was drunk. The thing that really made Rei's stomach drop was the look in Kai's eyes. He looked at Rei and Tyson as if they were just another face in the crowd, and his deep eyes showed lack of respect and lack of dignity.

The rest of the Bladebreakers caught up to Rei and Tyson who just stood there dumbfounded.

"Hurry, Rei… come on Tyson…he'll get ran over!" Hillary said with worry and concern. Even though Kai and Johnny were walking in the middle of the street acting stronger then any moving vehicle, they just stood there. Tears pulled at each of the Bladebreakers' eyes.

"Kai… whats the matter with you!" Rei thought to himself as he watched his respected captain. Rei felt personally offended.

"FUCK YOU!" Johnny yelled at a car that had to swerve to the left to avoid them.

Kai started to laugh.

"you know… we're in the middle of the fuckin' street." Kai said matter-of-factly.

They slowly moved off the street, and then collapsed on each other breaking into fits of laughter on the grass in a bush with spikes. Small fresh cuts went up and down Kai's bare arms and even a few on his face, but he only laughed more. Johnny was fine due to his jean jacket. Johnny's weight on top of Kai pushed him against the thorned bush even more, allowing the big thorns to dig into his pale flesh more.

Kai winced a little, but the alcohol in his system, made him not feel the pain. Kai heard Johnny laughing, and knew he wouldn't get off him anytime soon. So with his strength he pushed Johnny off him and to edge of the old paved road. A small scrape appeared on Johnny's hand from hitting the road, but he only laughed about it. The Bladebreakers watched Kai wipe the little cuts with his forearm to stop the bleeding.

"You knowa…. Johnny…we're invincible.. Weee caaant DIE man!" Kai said to his friend who was struggling to get up. That comment made the Bladebreakers' heart just drop… Kai of all people should know hes not.. If he thinks that, he's going to kill himself…

"You right." Johnny said looking at his hands, as if he's never seen his own pale flesh.

And that's all she wrote…

Hahah please review it keeps me motivated.

Have a nice night all you classy cats… and remember…give into the urge…

Get…FROSTT BITE.
