Me: Okay people. I am alive. I am updating and I really think I have no life outside of this computer screen.

Tala: You haven't updated in roughly January

Me: You don't count January since the month was pratically over!

Tala: Fine. February, March, April....3 months you have been neglecting me and your readers.

Me: Aww. Did you miss me?

Tala: No. It's just that I've been bored and...well...

Me: Jealous of my own characters.

Tala: No! Just slightly upset that you spent more time with them.

Me: ....That's jealousy. Anyways! I'll give you a cookie if you read aloud the disclaimer!

Tala: TheFallenAngel927 does not own beyblade. For if she did then Rei and Tala would....oh....that's possible?!......I am so going to try that!

Me: Ahem! Onwards Chapter 19! Oh and before I forget anything in bold and italics. (like this) is Russian.

(Tala and Rei)

Rei stood in front of Tala's room door with his hand raised as if he were about to he ran his raised hand through his hair and looked down at his wristwatch on his other hand.

'Four-Thirty. I've been standing here about to knock for the past ten minutes.' he thought.

He closed his eyes as he practiced his speech that he was going to say to Tala.

"Look, Tala. I'm sorry that Kai...No. That's not right." He inhaled deeply through his nose, " Tala. I am sorry for the way I've been acting recently. It was very cowardly of me. I should been there showing my face atleast like Julia instead of being basically an ass."

He nodded to himself in satisfaction.

"You forgot being the equivalent of a medievel Chinese peasant who is worthy of the world's largest idiot title." said Tala leaning in his very much open doorway.

"...How long have you been there?"

"Long enough." Tala said as he turned around and walked back into his room, "You coming in or are you just going to stand there?"

Rei shook his head and followed behind Tala and closed the door. Hopefully Yang would stop trying to threaten him with her wheelchair. He already had just gotten over his injury. Tala sat down on the bed where all the gifts from his birthday that he opened still lie.

"I thought Yang would've like saw that and threw a fit or something." Rei said lifting a box that had a set of attack rings inside and sitting down beside Tala.

"Yeah you should wee my suitcase. I used to mess it up on purpose but she just ignored it."

"I guess this really hit her hard."

"She just lost her child, Rei. Of course it hit her hard."

"You should see Bryan. I have never seen someone so..."

"...Dead?" Tala supplied.

"That doesn't even begin to describe it." Rei said sighing and placing the box down, "You should've seen how bad he scared Mariah. Saying that he threatened her with a knife and almost raped her just to kill the child that she who inevitably bare."

"Damn."

"Yeah and before that he drunk every last drop of alcohol in his and Yang's room." Rei said stretching and laying down on his back.

"Well he would've done that anyways. Depressed or not." Tala said leaning back on his arms and looking at Rei out the corner of his eye.

"...And then there's you."

Tala snorted inelegantly, "Me? Pssh. My problems are nothing compared to those two."

"True but believe it or not your problems tie into this too."

"Really? Why don't you elaborate how Kai's sick obession with me has gotten Yang's baby killed."

"What? No." Rei said bolting upright.

"Seriously. If I wasn't so damned attractive to Kai. Kai would've left me alone. If Kai would've left me alone Yang would've never went after him. Thus preventing her baby's death."

"That's not--"

"Oh and let's not forget that there's also the matter of fact that I was too much of a coward to face Kai so Brooklyn went up and lost his arm."

"There was no--"

"And then there's you! If I didn't exsist you could be happy with a normal non-psycho Kai! I know what you're all thinking! I think it myself! The looks of pity whenever you walk by my room door if it's open."

"No one thinks--"

"Don't lie to me! Why do you think I haven't left this room! I can't take it! I just want to go back in time before this stupid tournament even began. Back when it was just me, Yang, Ten and my dog! I want to go back when the biggest worry was getting mobbed with fans at the mall!"

"Tala!" Rei yelled grabbing on to Tala's arm, "No one thinks that. Well atleast not me."

"You see you can't even deny it!"

"Neither can you confirm it." Rei retorted.

"I just did in a full five minute rant."

"No you didn't. You ranted on what you think that everyone thinks. You have no proof because you haven't left this room at all."

Tala stared wide eyed at Rei.

"Now I see why Yang said what she said." Rei said getting up and storming over to Tala's messy suitcase.

"What are you doing?" Tala said curiously

"Looking to see if I can fit any of your clothes."

"Why?"

"So that we can leave this room."

"We?"

"Yes as for now I am going to be a constant annoyance to you until you decide to leave this room."

"And who says that I'm going to leave this room?"

"You are because that's the only way to get rid of me." Rei said smirking.

Tala glared at Rei.

"Oh and by the way, Your glare is losing it's effect. You should really go to Yang or someone to get pointers."

(Yang and Bryan)

Yang smiled as she listened through the doorway of Tala's room.

'One problem down. Twenty billion to go.' she thought as she rolled her chair to her shared room with Bryan.

She had swiped her card as the door automatically opened for her. Looking around the room she sighed. There were bottles strewn across the floor. Some even broken. The only mirror in the room was broken as if someone had punched it. Looking to the bed she saw Bryan laying there on top of the sheets on his side with his shoes still on. His hair was ragged and unkempt, and his jaw was tinged darker due to his stubbled. Purplish bruises were under his eyes as if he had broken his nose sometime recently. His normally chalky skin was translucent and Yang feared that this was how he would looked if he were dead.

"Bryan..." she whispered and rolled over to where he laid.

She ran her hand gently down the side of his face. She felt that his skin was dry and he seemed slightly cold and clammy. He felt as if he was sick. Yet he gave no other outward sign. His breathing was smooth. His face was in the slightly pained look that it seemed to have taken on recently and she longed to see him smile.

"I'm so sorry." she said as she lowered her head and fought the urge to cry, " If I just..."

She dropped her hand from his face and let out a small sob. She closed her eyes and fell into a restless sleep as one tear escaped her. She never noticed that Bryan was awake and wiped the tear away.

" ...What am I doing?" he said as he watched Yang sleep fitfully.

He got up and placed her on the bed. Took her shoes off and pulled the covers up over her. He brushed a strand of hair off her face and looked around the room. His eyes landed on the shattered mirror. His image was reflected back at him one hundred fold. He glared at the sad excuse for a man that looked back at him. What kind of man would try to drown himself in liquor and threats while his loved one sat there blaming herself for it? It was no one's fault but that damned cousin of hers. He smiled as his anger was fueled. Yes he would set this right. But first he had to get to him.

A/N: Well hopefully you're not to mad at me for trying out a new style yet again. It's just that my own story is written in a similar format and I couldn't help it. Btw if you want the link to my story it's on my profile. And Congratulations Pink-Angel-1992 you guessed correctly! So you're OC is comeing up soon. I'll find somewhere to squeeze her in. Well Domo Arigato for the reviews and Ja Ne (Bows and comes back up to fast resulting in her falling backwards)...You know what I'm just about tired of falling at the end of each chapter.
