Kai: HatedDearly doesn't own beyblade or it's characters. She however claims ownership of the plot, Rin, and Hikari. Don't know why though.

Rei: -.-; on with the story.

The next night Hikari sat in the corner of her office her face buried in Howls Moving Castle, her glasses slid down to the edge of his nose and she flipped a page and heard the door open and she looked up.

"Sir." She stood up pulling down her skirt as she stood up and took of her glasses placing them in her breast pocket as Voltaire walked in and stood across from her.

Hikari had met Kai when she had delivered the package for him. He was Voltaires grandson. They looked nothing alike, except the eyes, but Voltaires were more brown then red and he had long gray hair and walked around with a cane. He was a big man, well muscled for his age, but then again...Hikari closed her eyes, her long black lashes laying against her cheeks...Hikari was older then him.

"How may I serve you?" She asked bowing slightly her hair falling down into her face and she straightened brushing her hair back.

"When's the last time you've talked with your father?" Voltaire asked and Hikari shrugged.

"About three hundred years I suppose." Hikari said seating herself and staring at him.

"He's in town for a few days. Under the alias of Vincent Vladimir. He told me he wished to see you." Voltaire said.

"Well, sometimes wishes really don't come true." Hikari said picking at the stitch in the chair and Voltaire sat on another chair.

"He demands you to give him your audience." Voltaire said his eyes narrowing and Hikari smirked a sparkle in her silver eyes.

"Gimme, gimme never gets." She stood up and put on her glasses. "I must go now, unless you demand my services." She said and Voltaires smirked and Hikari blinked and reopened her eyes to see a young Egyptian woman standing in her presence with long black hair and bright silver eyes.

"Won't you go and see your father, for your dear sweet mother." Voltaire whispered in her mothers voice.

"How did my mothers blood taste Voltaire, you wouldn't be able to take her form if you hadn't drank her blood. She must have really screamed." Hikari said staring at Voltaire with cold eyes it even made him shiver slightly in fear. "Tell Father I won't be his audience, and if he wants to repair our broken relationship then he should burn himself to death, like he did my dear sweet mother." Hikari said and left the room, the tension in the air so tight that Voltaire sat down stiffly his form returning to normal. That girl frightened even him. She was colder then ice, being the daughter of Vladimir Dracula, one would not expect any different.

It was Kai...Rei stood on the small bridge over the river staring down at it quietly...It was Kai that had turned him into what he was today. Kai had forced himself onto Rei, biting into his neck, saying he wanted to love Rei for eternity, even though Rei begged him not to turn him, just to kill him then.

Kai had promised, he had promised that he'd never give Rei the curse, because he loved Rei. Rei wanted to be with Kai till death do they part, and now they were apart from each other, immortal enemies. Rei clenched his fists, he would kill him. He felt a presence behind him and he turned to see a tall blue haired hunter standing there. How did Rei know he was a hunter? The cross bow certainly didn't give it away.

"So, you've come to kill me." Rei said turning around his eyes glowing.

"State your master." The hunter said and Rei jumped up on the railing crossing his arms his black trench coat wrapping around him as he stood making himself look bigger then what he was.

"I serve no master." He said his fangs growing in his mouth and his claws growing.

"Then I've come to kill you." The hunter said aiming his crossbow and Rei jumped dodging the arrow and landed on the railing, crouching down to catch his balance and bared his fangs.

"Your just like all the rest of the hunters I've ever run into, you won't succeed in killing me. They never do." Rei said and went towards him slashing him across the chest and the hunter fell back his boot flying up with a blade in it. The blade sunk into Reis stomach and he coughed blood spilling from his mouth. He paled almost instantly at the sudden loss of blood. Rei pushed off the blade and rolled over gasping in pain. He held his stomach and Hiro took out a stake and pressed it against Reis chest.

"Take my life." Rei said staring into Hiros eyes. Hiro stared down into the beautiful golden eyes, they were entrancing. He remembered what Hikari had said. A beautiful angel with golden eyes and broken wings. Hiro grabbed his face and Rei jerked away. "Don't touch me!" He shouted kicking Hiro off of him. "You can kill me, but don't touch me." Rei said. Someone who hates being touched. He was Hikaris love, he had to be. Golden eyes were rare, and the rest.

"Do you know Hikari, the ancient." Hiro demanded and Rei was silent, but the look in his eyes spoke a thousand words. Hiro took out his crossbow and shot directly through Reis heart. Rei gasped his eyes closing as he slipped into a deep sleep and fell forward and Hiro caught him. This vampire was Hiros ticket to finally defeating Hikari.

Tala paced his hands clasped behind his back as he looked around. It was mid afternoon and Rei hadn't returned last night. He looked out the window through the shades as he paced back and forth. Had he really gone through with it this time? No, Tala could sense he was still alive. Somewhere, he didn't know where but he was alive.

Tala sat down clenching his fists. Where was he!? He punched the wall causing the concrete to fall and break. This was so stupid! He had to find Rei, before...something happened to him. Did this have to do with Rei seeing that old friend of his? Tala held his head and shook, anger taking control. He'd kill the person who dared to hurt Rei. He heard the door open and he looked up to see Hikari walk in. "Any luck?" He asked.

"None, I sent Voltaires vampires out all over the city, there was no sign of Rei. There was so much they could do before sunrise. I brought a guest with me, this is Max." A small blonde teenager with wide blue eyes and freckles on his face stepped in behind her.

"He has offered his services." Hikari said and Tala stood up.

"A lot of good that will do us if Rei's dead." Tala said.

"You know as well as I do that he is not. We need to talk to Rin, she's the only one that's been talking to Rei, who Rei will answer to." Hikari said and Tala nodded as Max stared up at him.

"You looking at something?" Tala asked.

"No, it's just you look familiar." He said and Tala raised his eyebrows.

"I should be, I've lived here for a long time." Tala said and Max stared at him.

"Weird..." He said.

"We will go to Rins after dark settles." Tala said.

"What shall we do till then?" Max asked and Tala glared.

"We wait." He replied.

Rei suddenly gasped feeling pain wrack his body as the hunter stood over him with the arrow dripping with blood and Rei stared at him. He looked to either side of him to see his hands had been chained above him and his feet had been tied together, he was in the sitting position against the wall.

"Here." A packet of blood was presented to his face. After the blood loss, Rei needed it, but he turned his face away. "Drink or you die." The hunter said.

"I'm not complaining." Rei said staring at him.

"My name is Hiro." The hunter introduced himself.

"You don't need to know mine." Rei replied simply and Hiro stared him down.

'His eyes, they're haunting. Just like hers, but his are...they're warm. Entrancing.' Hiro thought and Rei closed his eyes.

"Why didn't you just kill me." Rei asked and Hiro stood up.

"Your friend Hikari is currently after my brothers life. She's in love with you, and if I hold you hostage, she will agree to leave Tyson alone." Hiro said and Rei laughed slightly.

"Love, a fickle thing. It only ends in heartbreak." Rei whispered looking at the ring on his finger.

"You don't return her feelings, what a bitter end." Hiro spoke softly and Rei pulled against the bounds that held him and closed his eyes. He had no way out of this. 'Tala...I'm sorry.' He thought and Hiro offered him the package of blood again and Rei hissed at him.

"I do not accept food from the enemy. What a stupid hunter you are, I'll break free of these bonds and destroy you." Rei said, his words were empty. He'd never taken a human life, and never would. But that hunter didn't know that, to him all Rei was, was a cold blooded killer. 'That's all I really am, or half of me is anyway.' Rei thought.

"You'll be begging for this blood by night fall, I've masked your scent with garlic so Hikari can't find you. Your all alone, so you better start talking. Information on your friend, in exchange for your life." Hiro said offering the blood and Rei gave a bitter laugh.

"You don't understand hunter, I don't care if I die. By killing me, you'd do me a favor. Send me to hell!" Rei shouted bearing his fangs, as they grew to an inch long and Hiro stepped back.

"I do not resort to torture, but this is my brother." Hiro opened the blinds the sun piercing onto Reis flesh making it steam. Rei screamed in pain closing his eyes and shielding them from the sun and Hiro dropped the blinds leaving Rei breathing heavily, his naturally tanned skin now reddened all over as if someone had doused him with boiling water.

"Just tell me what you know, surely you must know I don't want to do this. I am just trying to protect my brother." Hiro said and Rei gave him a weak glare and let his fangs grow. He bared them.

"Kill me." He hissed and Hiro opened the blinds again. Rei screamed pulling against his bonds as Hiro dropped the blinds again.

Rei shook closing his eyes, exhausted and weakened.

Kai slept soundly, it was daytime and he needed rest. He was still wounded greatly, and bandaged up neatly. Rei stood in the kitchen pumping water into a large bowl and setting it on the small wooden table as he walked into the bedroom and saw Kai sleeping soundly. It'd been two days since he rescued the vampire, and Rei had carried the weakened Kai back to his small log cabin by the lake during the night.

The blood of the animals was not working to help heal his wounds. Kai said he needed something to sustain him, like human blood so he could truly heal. Rei had informed him that the cows blood would just have to do, because he wasn't going to kill anyone. Kai had been sleeping all night and all day. He looked sweet as he napped, all bandaged up, he looked vulnerable.

"Wake up sleepy head." Rei said opening the blinds and Kai suddenly cried out in pain rolling off the bed and covering himself and Rei covered his mouth. How stupid could he be, vampires did not take well to sunlight. "I'm sorry Kai-san, I forgot." Rei said closing the blinds and Kai raised growling low like an animal.

"How could you forget you have a vampire in your house." Kai demanded through clenched fangs.

"Sorry Kai-san, you just don't seem like the vampire type to me. Come, I must wash your wounds out." Rei said walking out of the room and Kai followed him, to tired and weak to protest. He was seated in a chair and Rei unwrapped his bandages and pressed the cool wash cloth to his wounds sopping up the dried blood. "Here, drink. It's your favorite, rabbits blood." Rei said presenting Kai with a dead rabbit.

"My favorite is that of a human." Kai growled but took the rabbit anyway.

"Well, then it's your second favorite." Rei smiled sweetly as Kai drank the blood. "Your wounds are healing remarkably fast." Rei smiled pleased at the sight. "You'll be able to hunt and pillage in no time." Rei said slapping Kais back and Kai growled in pain.

"You did that on purpose." He said and Rei laughed a little bit and picked up the rabbit.

"You done?" He asked and Kai nodded.

"Why are you doing this anyway?" Kai asked and Rei smiled a little.

"Well, you needed help. I couldn't leave you to just die." Rei said as he set the rabbit on the cupboard and Kai turned his head to him.

"You should have, I'll kill you once I'm healed up." Kai snarled.

"Why?" Rei asked.

"For all the rabbits blood you made me drink." Kai said feeling exhausted. He still was greatly weakened, and that sunlight had effected him more then he let on. He was ready to fall asleep where he sat. He hadn't decided whether he would really kill the boy or not. He did owe him his life, but still. Passing up a pretty thing like him, the blood would be the sweetest Kai would ever taste, but...he closed his eyes falling asleep, not finishing his thoughts. Rei turned to look at him and smiled.

'He's really exhausted, or he really might have killed me by now.' Rei thought sweat dropping.

"Kai." Rin said sipping her tea as she sat on her couch and Tala stared at her in shock.

"Kai? Are you sure he said that?" Tala asked and Rin nodded.

"Positive, he only ever talked about a boy named Kai. I never really pried to much into it, but you could definitely tell that Rei had feelings for Kai at one point and time. He was the one that Rei-san saw when he fainted." Rin said and Tala closed his eyes. Kai was the name Rei had said when they first met. Whoever this Kai was, was he really a danger to Rei? Is that were Rei was now? With this monster Kai?

"Kai, Voltaires Grandson." Hikari said and Rin looked at her.

"Are you a friend of the family, Hikari-chan?" Rin asked.

"Or something." Hikari replied and Max squinted his eyes.

"Voltaire, Tyson mentioned something about him. He works for him, but Hiro doesn't." Max said and Rin stared at him.

"Didn't you used to go to Harrison middle school?" She asked.

"Yeah, once upon a time ago." Max said and Rin smiled.

"Wow, that's so cool. I went there." She said and Tala suddenly touched Rins shoulder.

"Rin, thanks for telling us this, but we've got to find Rei." He said.

"Can I come?" Rin asked.

"Absolutely not." Tala said and Rin looked at him hurt. "It could be really dangerous. I don't want you to get hurt." Tala said.

"But Tala." She began.

"Rin..." Tala stared down at her and Rin sighed and nodded.

"Okay but please be careful, take this with you." Rin said offering him her cross necklace.

"No!" Tala refused immediately and scratched the back of his head. "I mean, you keep it for safety." He said and Rin smiled and nodded.

"Just be careful. Okay." She said and Tala grasped her hands.

"Promise." He said and Hikari touched her shoulder, Tala still holding her hands.

"Don't wor-" She began and her eyes suddenly started to glow.

"NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" A girl cried out running from the three men slowly stalking her laughing as they did. At closer look they had fangs and glowing eyes and Rin ran into the alley way grasping the wall and banged against it. It was a dead end, and she turned around staring at them and grasping her blue teddy bear in her arms and screamed crying her eyes out as she curled up against the wall. "HELP ME!"

Tala stared down from the rooftops as three vampires circled around the small girl and his eyes narrowed. He knew what it was like to kill, but that girl was to young. To young to die. He jumped down in front of the three and the little girl looked up at him with big blue eyes, her long blue hair in braided pigtails on either side of her face.

"Isn't she a little young for you guys." Tala asked turning to the three vampires.

"Move out of the way, or we'll kill you to!" One said and Tala smirked his claws and fangs growing in as his eyes glowed and his pupils slit as he attacked them.

Rin stared up at the man that had stepped in front of her. Flaming red hair, pale skin, and icey blue eyes. He turned to the other men and Rin put her hands over her ears looking away. She did that whenever Mommy and Daddy fought, they did that anytime they were ever home at night. She'd gone looking for Mommy to give her the coat she'd forgotten, which those mean men had stolen from her.

She cried pressing her face to Buru, her teddy bear, and whimpered. 'Please make the scary men go away!' She thought and heard loud yelling and crashing and screaming and she cried harder and suddenly a hand was set on her head and she looked up to see the young man staring down at her.

"Hey, you okay?" He whispered gently and she sniffled and nodded. "What's your name?" He asked.

"Rin." She wiped away her tears and he picked her up.

"Well my little companion, how about I take you home, huh?" He asked and she nodded and he put her on his shoulders and she latched onto him burying her face in his hair.

"Do you know where you live?" He asked.

"124 Maple Street." She said and the young man nodded.

Tala finally arrived at her home and she was out cold and he snuck through her window and laid her in bed covering her up. 'I hope I don't wake your parents.' He thought staring down at her as she clutched her miserable looking teddy bear and he brushed some blue bangs from her closed eyes.

"Thatta girl, just sleep little one." He walked out of her bedroom looking around her living room. It was almost as if nobody lived there. He walked into the kitchen and saw a chair by the stove, where a little girl would stand on as she prepared her meals. So she lived here without her parents. He heard a noise and hid in the shadows staring as the silhouettes of her parents were outside the window. He went to the kitchen window and jumped out making his way to the little girls window and watched as the parents went to bed. Not even giving their child a kiss goodnight.

"Hikari-san, are you okay?" Rin asked and Hikari held her head and looked at her and Tala.

"Yeah, we have to go." She said and Rin nodded and hugged Tala and Tala froze a little but smiled and hugged her back. They pulled away and Rin grinned. Tala and Hikari walked out of Rins house.

"What did you see?" Tala asked turning to her.

"Your just a hero aren't you?" Hikari asked looking at him and he stared down at her confused. "You rescued her from a group of vampires when she was just a young girl. So her parents, they never are home are they?" Hikari asked and Tala shook his head.

"No, I've never met them. They work all night and sleep all day. Rin loves company, she's very lonely. You wouldn't know it, she doesn't show it. She always is smiling, and inside she is alone. I used to watch her cry herself to sleep as she grew up. That's why she loves being near people, hugging and just sitting with them. She loves talking or playing, because for a moment she's not alone. That hole in her heart that longs for attention from her parents is filled, and when she smiles, you know it's real. I hate leaving her." Tala said looking up at the sky. "She reminds me of Rei. Both with a loneliness deep in their heart, a longing for something...or someone. Yet Rin smiles, and Rei avoids it. I wonder sometimes how Rei was before I met him." Tala said Hikari stared up at the sky and felt tears come into her eyes and she closed her eyes tears falling from them.

"MOTHER!" Hikari screamed watching her mother burn to death, tied to a wooden pole and she fell on her knees covering her face.

"Father look what I made you." Five year old Hikari ran up to her father showing him a wooden toy she had carved and he pushed her aside and marched into his room. Hikari followed and peered inside to see her father biting into the neck of one of the servant girls and she screamed and her father turned to her blood dripping from his mouth and he slammed the door in her face.

"I love you." Ozuma stared down at Hikari who stared up at him and smiled and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him sweetly.

"Promise me you'll return safely." She said and Ozuma grabbed her hands.

"I'm immortal baby. I have to go though." He said and kissed her again and Hikari watched as he boarded the train bent for the ship that would take him to battle in Germany. "I'll bring you back a souvenir." He laughed and she smiled waving to him.

"I'm so glad you decided to adopt me." Hikari stared down at the little boy with big blue eyes and blonde hair and she laughed a little.

"Come on Jonathan, your going to come home with me." She said and the boy hugged her and she laughed.

"Hikari! I can't believe you're really my mom now!" Jonathan laughed hugging her.

"Mmm hmm, and Ozuma sent you this from Germany." Hikari said handing a German coin to him and Jonathans eyes lit up.

"Neat!" He grinned.

"It's worth about a dollar over here." Hikari winked and Jonathan stared at the glittering coin.

"Wow, I'm rich!" He said and Hikari hugged him tightly. "You and I are going to be together forever, right Hikari?" He asked and she smiled slightly.

"Yeah, well, at least as long as we can be." She said.

Hikari sat in the middle of a burned down house, ash covering her face as she wiped the tears away as she stared up at the moon. 'Everything I've ever loved in this life, is always ripped away.' She thought as she held a blackened German coin in her hand. More tears fell from her eyes.

"Johnny." She curled up and cried and suddenly felt a presence in front of her and she looked up. A boy, with long black hair tied back. His hair was long enough to reach the back of his legs. He had shining golden eyes that shown with an emptiness she recognized as much like her own.

"Your crying." He said. "Who was it?" He asked and she stared up at him.

"Who..?" Hikari whispered.

"The one you lost, your eyes are broken hearted. You lost someone you loved." He said and Hikari stood up staring down at the coin.

"He was my son." She said and he stared at her.

"The pains not going to go away." He said and stared at her. "Don't cry, just remember what it felt like to hold him." He whispered and Hikari looked up at him. He was beautiful, and his words seemed to distract her pain. Suddenly a red headed boy ran up to him.

"There you are Rei, don't run off like that. You scare me when you do that." The red head said and saw Hikari. "Hey, you okay?" He asked. "I'm Tala Ivanov, this is Rei Kon. Rei said he heard someone crying, sorry if he bothered you." Tala said and Hikari shook her head and wiped away her tears.

"Thank you." She whispered and held out her hand to Rei and Rei turned away.

"Come on Tala. We've got to go." Rei said and Tala nodded.

"Yeah." He said and Hikari reached out.

"Wait, will I ever see you again Rei?" Hikari asked and Rei shrugged.

"I don't know, I hope not." He said and Hikari stared at him confused.

'I didn't get it back then. I know him better now...he wanted to die back then to.' She thought as they ran through the night. 'Rei, when I wept over Johnnys death, somehow your words brought me comfort.' She felt tears come through her eyes. 'Please be okay.' She thought.

Me: Did you like it? I think they liked it.

Kai: Well since you have only 200 readers and four reviews, I'm not thinking so.

Me: Is beyblade like so last year or something.

Rei: Yeah, Narutos the popular one now.

Me: Damn Ninjas...oh well, whatever. I like Naruto, and if you like SasuNaru romance, read Sasuke the Cat. Guarantee you'll SMILE!

Kai: You whore.

Me: What??
