Me: Okay, I didn't mean to take this long to get a chapter up! So sorry!

Kai:...

Me: Don't mind him, he's in...don't know the right word for it.

Tala: -sighs as he looks at us- she doesn't own Beyblade...

Kai was staring at himself in the dream. Well, it was a younger self and a younger Tala.

"Tala, where are we going?" Kai asked.

"You'll see," Tala grinned. "C'mon Kai, we'll be fine."

Kai himself knew this memory very well. He smiled softly as young Tala pulled on young Kai's hand.

"C'mon Tala, just tell me!" young Kai grumbled. Kai chuckled. He hadn't really changed much but Tala…Tala had. He laughed when young Kai tripped and yelped, falling on Tala.

"Jeez, Kai, you're so clumsy!" young Tala complained.

"Shut up!" young Kai said.

"C'mon, just get off of me," young Tala said. Young Kai blushed as he did what Tala asked.

Kai smiled. Now, Tala wouldn't have to fall over if Kai tripped over something and landed on him…he'd be strong enough to catch him, alert enough to catch him if he fell. His face turned red as he thought of being caught by Tala's strong arms… Where the hell had that come from?

"Kai…"

Kai blinked in confusion as he saw his memory getting further and further away from him. He blinked in desperate need to see the last part of the dream- to hear Tala tell him that he'd always come back to him…no matter what, that he'd be back.

"Kai, it's time to wake up," a new voice snapped, testier then the other one.

Kai's eyes fluttered open. He looked sleepily at Miguel and Tala.

"How long was I out?" he yawned.

"Since dinner yesterday," Tala snapped. "C'mon, it's time to get up. You're old enough to get up by yourself. Miguel and I don't need to dress you, do we?"

"Tala…" Miguel frowned, walking to the door. "Breakfast will be ready in a few, Kai…if Ian hasn't gotten a hold of it." With that he went downstairs.

"What's eating you?" Kai frowned. "Woke up on the wrong side of the bed?" Tala glared at him.

"Nothing."

"Uh huh," Kai rolled his eyes. "Well if nothing's bothering you, why are you suddenly acting like a jerk?" Tala didn't answer him, instead looking at the paintings that Kai had spent his time on.

"I didn't know you still painted," he said.

"Whenever I had spare time…Miguel got me a few canvases for my birthday that I still haven't used," Kai said.

"Oh… I thought you'd stopped completely when…" Tala trailed off and Kai knew what he was talking about.

"When I had left? Right?" Kai asked quietly. Tala nodded, looking away from Kai. Kai don't know what happened but something finally snapped in him.

"What is wrong with you?!" Kai demanded, almost shouting. Tala looked at him in surprise.

"What…?" Tala asked. 'Where did that come from?'

"You…you leave me alone for god…what, three, four years?! And then suddenly you're acting like everything's normal? What the hell is wrong with you, Ivanov?" Kai demanded and then Tala regained his composure.

"You want to know what the hell is wrong with me? I never got one letter from you. Not one!" Tala said his hands clenched into fists. "I didn't even get a phone call-"

"I sent you letters all the time-everyday for five months- and then you never responded! I kept writing to you- I asked why you weren't responding to me- if you hated me! And you never answered one!" Kai said, "And then you ignore me! Me! You told me you'd always be with me not matter what-!"

"I told you I'd always come back," Tala said coldly. "And here I am." Kai looked at Tala for a minute before glaring at the ground.

"Get out…I need to get changed," Kai snapped.

"Kai…"

"What?"

"Look at me," Tala coaxed. Kai didn't look at him. He just heard soft footsteps and saw Tala's fingers lifting his chin up.

"I'm back. That's what I promised you. I told you that I'd be back and here I am," Tala said. "I don't know what you want from me anymore, Hiwatari. I don't know what you want me to be for you but I do know what I want from you. And I'm not planning to let you get away."

"What…what is it that you want from me…?" Kai asked at a whisper, avoiding Tala's eyes. "Because you're confusing me…" Tala stared at Kai for a moment.

"Look at me," Tala said. "Kai, look at me." Kai looked at the teenager that had once been his best friend. He didn't know what the hell was going on in his head but he wanted to know.

"I'm only going to do this once…so pay attention," Tala whispered, brushing his lips against Kai's. Kai clung to his shirt as Tala pulled him closer to him, not sure what to do as Tala moved his lips against his own. Tala pulled away with an unreadable expression.

"That's what I want from you, Hiwatari," Tala said walking away and pausing at the door. "And I don't plan on letting you get away-"

He was cut off when Kai wrapped his arms around his chest from behind.

"What…what if I want the same thing?" Kai whispered. Tala looked over his shoulder and turned around, pulling the slightly shaking enigma into his arms. He knew Kai didn't know what he was doing but he knew that Kai knew exactly what he wanted and pulled him closer.

"Then I'll give it to you…" Tala whispered. "I'll give you anything you want."

"Tala...?"

"Hm?"

"I...I don't want to tell anyone yet," Kai said.

"Then we don't have too," Tala said. "We don't have too."

Me: They're together now and it only took them five chapters! And its still morning!

Spencer: Where were we in this?

Me: You'll be in the next one, don't worry.

Bryan:...They get together after a kind of fight?

Ian: -holds up papers- She thinks that she will continue from the day of Saturday in the story-

Me: Ian, where did you get those?! Don't give away the story!
