Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with anyone from Beyblade, if I was then they'd kick me out for my ideas.

But this story is mine and so are my own characters that add to the plot

Warning: a bit more swearage to add here because they are angry teen aged (mutant ninja turtles) males...

Clearing Confusion in advance: This story is more based on the manga than the other one, so if you are confused at times, please just tell me and I'll help you.

Author's Note: Sorry for a late update (THOUGH WAS IT REALLY THAT LATE?). This chapter does not have the full shounen-ai allure because I actually wanted to start with the plot here...as in other reasons for this story to exist. I had fun with this chapter solely cause I love how hard Rei tries to be nice to a jerk like Kai

Credit to Rayyu for editing and HAPPEH LATE BIRTHDAY! (if there are any mistakes it's his fault not mine.)

ENJOY!

"If I were to die you'd die first Kon Rei," that damned Kai replied to me. All of a sudden loud knocks were heard on my door and we both rushed to open it but since I'm faster I managed to open the door to be greeted by them again. And to my surprise, Yuriy leaned over and hugged me tightly and let go immediately.

"Good morning Rei," he greeted as he let go of me. Boris just grunted as they both swept past me and took Kai along with them, dumping him on the sofa.

"Guys what the hell?" Kai asked.

"Seems you drank a tad bit too much yesterday my boy. Rei said that you burned off your clothes though technically you weren't on fire. Really you should take care of a body that holds such an important beast," Yuriy said as he began taking things out of a shopping bag. He placed a brand new uniform near Kai, toothbrush and toothpaste and liquid body soap. Damn what a girl.

"You should say thanks to your boyfriend. He saved you though he couldn't wake you up for your lesson," Boris said looking straight at Kai. I blushed and turned around because I knew the reason he couldn't wake up was because I had knocked him out cold.

"HE IS NOT MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND!" Kai yelled and we all turned to stare at him as I quickly shut the door, not wanting to wake up my neighbors since it was only 7:30 in the morning.

"We know, geez quit PMSing you stupid kid," Yuriy said rolling his eyes. "And Rei, thank you."

"Not like I had a choice," I mumbled. "I'm going to school." I said. I knew it was early but I could easily go to the library or something and sleep. So I packed my bag and stuffed my bento in there too. I had made an extra one in case Kai would sue me or something but since his friends were here I decided it'd be best to just use it for tomorrow. Unfortunately Yuriy noticed as he walked over and took the box for me.

"Aw Rei who is this for?" Yuriy cooed as he read the sticky note that said 'for the rapist.' Well actually it said 'Kai, eat if you want to just don't sue me.'

"My lunch tomorrow," I muttered even though Yuriy handed it to Kai who read the top. He smiled a little but put the box to the side.

"I don't need a poor person's bribe. Besides I have lunch with-"

"Not today sonny," Boris said. "Yuriy and I have a meeting we need to go to."

"Whatever," I sighed as I put on my jacket and adjusted the strap on my bag. I walked to my door and made sure that it would self lock if it was closed. I took my bus pass and opened the door and turned around to look at them all staring at me. "Try not to steal from a poor person."

Calculus, easy. Biology? Breezy. Sitting beside someone who showed no signs of wanting to look at you or talk to you? Frustrating. I mean we've gone through three classes and still, not a word from the guy. In the car ride to the school, Yuriy told me all about what Rei had told him yesterday. Seemed I really did quite a number on myself which Rei had to deal with. Yuriy said that Rei talked quickly and with a panicked voice and that he looked extremely frustrated the entire time. And looking at the bags under his eyes I'm guessing he didn't get any sleep either.

But what wasn't explained was the throbbing I experienced on the lower part of my neck. I guessed I must've hit it yesterday even though I don't remember a thing after drinking. Which really isn't my fault. Really. I mean I was angry at Rei for totally ruining my day so I had a perfect excuse to drink. To the point where I could have died of alcohol poisoning. Yuriy said that I might have drunk their drinks too and they didn't notice as they were partying it up before Sergei left. Seriously, who parties at noon?

"Alright class, desk-pair work now. One of you please take out the neuron slides and the other one can take out the microscope," stupid teacher said. Wordlessly Rei stood up and went to the back of the room to pick up the microscope slide, meaning I had to get the microscope. He handed me the slide after I returned to the table with the microscope. And our teacher was so picky about the way you had to hold it. But I still quickly worked to adjust the magnification. When I set it right, I gave to Rei and he looked at it. I watched him move his bangs away from his face as he peeked in and immediately he began to sketch it on the paper.

"Hey you were only supposed to check!" I said as I pushed him away. But it seemed he remember how the rest of it looked as he quickly drew out rest of the neuron and began labelling. I slumped down and drew the neuron on my paper but I still couldn't be as neat as Rei was when it came to drawing. But my penmanship was much better than Rei's chicken scratch. Within five minutes, he walked off to hand in his paper and unfortunately, a girl took his seat right beside me.

"Hiwatari-saaaaaama," she whined. I looked away from my paper to the freak who called herself Emi. She had blond hair that she obviously dyed and she wore scary reddish contacts. Dear, no one can wear my eyes but me. I turned back to my paper and started to label parts I could remember. "Hi-saaaaaama."

"What?" Dendrites, were they the weird hairy things?

"Do you want to switch Rei with me?" she asked. Axons were the bigger lines. Right?

"No," I replied.

"But Hi-sama!" she whined.

"Um that's the myelin sheath," I heard as a tan finger pointed to my sketch. I looked up to see Rei staring intensely at my paper. I figured he was waiting for Emi-bitch to get away but the girl only pout-glared at Rei.

"Don't think you know more than Hi-sama does," she snapped at Rei. Rei blinked at her and shrugged. I looked down and realized that I really did mislabel something and I hurried to fix it. Feeling grateful I turned to look at Emi.

"Emi-san," I said. She flinched at my formal tone, what, did she expect me to call her E-chan or something? "Please get the fuck off that seat, your perfume is choking me." She looked like she was about to cry but she stood up and walk off to the huddle of girls in the other corner. Rei sat down quickly and looked straight ahead. We didn't talk for another five minutes before Rei decided to break it.

"You may be perverted, sadistic, egoistical, superficial, insecure, and stupid and bit odd but you're okay," he whispered, still not looking at me. WHAT? How dare he call me those totally untrue—except for the ego thing—names?

"Well you're annoying, a total show-off, and—oh you think I'm okay?" I asked, looking at him.

"Yeah," he whispered, still not looking at me. "I mean you can be nice, but in your own weird way. Oh what the hell am I saying? No way is Kai Hiwatari nice."

"I can be nice!" I whispered back.

"Oh yeah?" Rei asked, looking at me finally.

"Yeah, watch. Thank you," I said. That was very nice of me, to say thank you to someone so undeserving.

"For what?" Rei asked.

"Stuff," I replied, what else did this guy want? But he burst out laughing as he shook his head. He also managed to attract the glares of the many people who hated him for being able to hear something funny that I supposedly said. When he stopped and people turned away I cleared my throat. "Thank you for yesterday."

In reply Rei just merely shrugged as he smiled at me. "You owe me for that."

"Fine whatever," I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Class, two more minutes and then hand them in," Sensei said. I looked down at my paper and Rei did too. He then pointed to random parts of my sketch and started to list them.

"Nucleus, cell body, Schwann cell, node of Ranvier. You owe me even more now," he said. I rolled my eyes at him again and flicked my pencil at his finger.

"I already know," I replied as I began to label the rest of my sketch. Maybe this guy could actually become beneficial to me. Though I really dislike hanging out with people who look good in my high school. Not that I think Rei's good looking or anything but others do. Just not me.

The lunch bell rang soon and Rei stood up and stretching and yawning. "See you after lunch," he said as he packed his bags and took out his bento.

"Where the hell are you going?" I asked, glaring at his bento, I had the same box in my bag because Yuriy forced me to take it but I was going to chuck it away anyways. I liked the sandwiches from the cafeteria more.

"To Takao's room since the others meet up there too. Bye," he said quickly as he raised his bag to his shoulder. But there was no way I would let such a beta-suitable out of my grip so quickly. He was perfect to compliment my superior alpha-ness. He was shorter, probably not as good looking and he was new. If I could get him under my grip then I would totally dominate the school.

Yes this was what I was thinking about while supposedly writing notes. "Rei wait, you hang out with those dweebs?" His eyes narrowed at me and I realized I made a false move.

"Dweebs you may think but at least they're not like you. All hail King Kai!" Rei said as he threw his hands into the air and walked off.

Really I thought I could use my weird psychology to change him and it worked for a bit because at least he apologized. I mean I thought that would never work, but really Kai…you're such an ass. Lunch went by fine even though as I passed by the hallways many people I had never seen greeted me. I continued to spend the rest of the classes ignoring Kai which irritated him immensely and which made me giddy. Really I have no idea why people let him get away with so much. I mean he swears at all his followers but still they'd want to eat his shit and roll in it.

Too graphic, ew. But luckily school ended fine as I jetted off again and took the bus home. And now here I was, seven at night, in the school gym since Dr. B let me in. I was the earliest so I decided to simply run laps around the gym since it would be useful if we were going to do physical activities. But within minutes it became boring so in between runs I jumped around too and performed many tricks that would make the King cry. My village was pretty strict with us, for each height we were only supposed to be weigh a certain amount. That meant that even if I wanted more muscles, I wasn't allowed to because it would slow my movement. I was lost in performing my high jumps and spinning when I heard claps and looked behind me to see Max and Takao clapping enthusiastically.

"How did you learn to do that?" Max asked as he ran up to me.

"Back home," I said shrugging.

"Care to teach us?" Takao asked as he smiled eagerly. I smiled at them, not wanting to tell them that it was impossible for them to do what I did without years of experience.

"Sure," I said smiling but before I could, Kai walked into the gym, well actually he strolled into the gym as if the school belonged to him or something. Then all the lights turned on and Dr. B and Hitoshi walked out to the gym.

"Alright boys," he boomed. "Since we lost yesterday, let's get moving. But first of all Rei, awesome gymnastic abilities you have there. Hitoshi has told me that the Xi Fang Bai Hu tribe was very flexible and talented. You obviously showed many skills yesterday." He said. Well why thank you.

"Um…thanks," I mumbled.

"It seems that you have found your balance with your beast as well as your element which is really helpful since Takao was able to finally master his only last year," Hitoshi said, beaming at me. I smiled back at him. It was fun hanging out with him back in the village since he told me so much more about these sacred beasts. When he found out that I was the one who possessed the white tiger he requested me to join this academy and I took up the offer even though my village protested.

"Okay then let's have ourselves sit in a circle, shall we?" Dr. B. suggested. He took out a compass and then studied it for a bit before looking up. "Takao sit here." He said as he pointed to the floor to his left. "Kai please on the opposite side of Takao. Rei please sit on the left of Kai and Max on the right and make sure you two face each other," he said. We quickly took our positions and stared back at Dr. B.

"Since all four beasts are here together, we want to call them out obviously. When we return back to the office please proceed to call out your beast after you hear the bell," Hitoshi said as he bowed out and the two researchers walked back into the office elevator. I looked around at everyone, feeling my heart pumping with excitement and soon enough I heard the bell ring. I immediately closed my eyes and began to call out Drigger but for some reason I felt the warm rush move through me once again like it did yesterday.

"How long will it take them to wake up?" The large white tiger asked as he circled around the four sleeping boys.

"My Hiwatari has light sleeping habits so he will obviously wake up first," a low voice said and soon after a phoenix landed nearby, eyeing the group. He was right too as Kai shot up again as was his habit. He sat straight for a couple of minutes, looking around and taking in his bearings and then upon seeing four large creatures he gripped onto the closest thing to his left hand, which happened to be Rei's hair.

"Ow!" Rei exclaimed as he pushed Kai's hand away, unhappy that Kai ruined his sleep. He was about to ask Kai what the hell he was thinking when he realized Kai wasn't looking at him. Instead the half-Russian stared somewhere. Rei turned to look at where Kai was staring and his eyes widened in absolute shock.

"D…drigger?" Rei asked as he stood up. Drigger nodded slightly and Rei straightened up immediately, leaving his sleep behind. "Can…can I hug you?" he asked. Drigger widened his eyes but nodded and immediately Rei ran and nearly stumbled towards the tiger. Kai looked at Rei in shock, unable to figure out what was wrong with Rei's mind that he wanted to hug a tiger.

"Mmmn. And I'd like to have four more scoops of that please," Takao mumbled. Kai whipped around and immediately shook both sleeping boys.

"Oy, blondie and weirdo wake up you freaks, wake up," Kai said.

"We do not say derogatory words here." A voice boomed out. Kai turned to see a dragon land nearby Rei who kept on stroking the white tiger's fur, his face shining with awe. A long-necked chimera also walked towards the group. Fortunately, the loud voice managed to wake the other two up though and they looked around until their eyes settled on the four beasts—and Rei—in front of them.

"It seems only one of you four has figured out who we are," the tiger said and Rei smiled happily.

"I…know too. You four are the holy beasts," Kai said quickly as he too stood up. Takao and Max followed his movements.

"Then we might as well get straight to the point," the dragon said.

"Dragoon." Takao whispered. The dragon nodded as it moved closer to them. Drigger said something to Rei as he bent down and Rei easily climbed onto the white tiger's back. Kai hesitantly walked over to his beast and when they were near each other the firebird bowed and Kai stepped back immediately.

"I'm sorry," Kai said sincerely. He was shocked by the sincerity in his voice but knew it was well deserved since he was talking to the Suzaku. "I should take care of myself a lot more and by drinking dangerously I disrespected you." Rei turned to look at Kai in shock from his sitting position but after the shock wore off Kai was surprised to see Rei smiling brightly at him.

"The tiger warrior, he is kind and helpful just like the Byakko," the phoenix commented. "Sit upon me as we have to go urgently."

"But aren't you all fiery? Won't I burn myself?" Kai asked. The phoenix let out a laugh that sounded like pleasant music that calmed Kai jumping nerves.

"Child, why would your own element hurt you?" he asked. Kai blushed and quickly jumped onto the phoenix's back. He looked around and saw that the others had also settled comfortably on their beast's back as well.

"Ready?" Dragoon asked. The boys exclaimed with a 'yes' and the beasts nodded.

"Hold tight," the phoenix said to Kai.

"Okay," and with a quick run the dragon and phoenix rose to the air. Kai looked down to see the white tiger and the chimera move at a very quick speed as well. Kai marvelled at Rei's black hair against the white fur of the tiger and Max's blond locks against the blackness of his beast. He also enjoyed the rush of air that lifted his hair from the back of his damp neck.

Rei held tightly onto his beloved tiger. His village had spent centuries waiting for the Byakko to resurface and when it did he chose Rei. And to Rei, who had only seen drawings and carvings of the sacred white tiger, actually being near something he worked his whole life for was exhilarating. He looked up at the dragon and the phoenix that flew above them and smiled again, surprised still by the change in Kai's behaviour.

Unfortunately, the ride ended in what felt like minutes and all the beasts slowed down until they came to a stop. "Where is this?" Takao asked as he looked around. They all did too and saw nothing but white.

"Look ahead," Drigger said and so the four teens did. There was a black speck in front of them that looked to be the size of a golf ball.

"Something is destroying the purity and sanctity of all the other beasts. That is what the blackness means," Dranzer said.

"And we're supposed to stop it right?" Rei asked.

"It seems your reading is of good use…we don't expect you special humans to stop it as without us you cannot. But since we are unable to touch the human world without you we need you to find out what is causing this," Drigger said.

"We need to figure it out really quickly because day by day it gets bigger and bigger," Dragoon added.

Suddenly a piercing scream filled the air and the black dot became bigger. Kai flinched at the sound and looked around for the source but didn't find out. But he did feel Dranzer get tense.

"You all must wake up," Draciel said. "Something has happened and you all must wake up."

"How do we wake up?" Max asked.

"Like this," Dragoon said and again everything in their sight went black.

I shot up immediately and looked around again. But I was back in this stupid school's gym. Dr. B and Hitoshi were trying to wake the others up and slowly they showed signs of life.

"What the hell just happened?" I asked, knowing full well that what I experienced wasn't some stupid dream.

"You four just passed out," Hitoshi said as he looked at me with such an expression that it gave me the chills. The others soon woke up too and they all looked up as well, disorientated.

"We're back?" Takao asked, looking at Hitoshi.

"You guys were here the entire time," Hitoshi replied with a frown. But he had no chance to say anything else as suddenly an orange haired boy burst into the gym. What was odd was that his white uniform shirt had reddish stains on the front.

"Kinomiya-sensei, Kinomiya-sensei." He called out. I recognized him as Brooklyn but I had to say I was more used to his calm and quiet attitude. The other boys rushed to help him but Rei hung back, unsure.

"Brooklyn Masefield, earth-loving freak. He has a beast too and he's some special student here." I said to Rei. But in reply, he looked at me with the same expression Hitoshi had.

"Why do I have a feeling that his presence here has something to do with that scream?" he asked. A chill ran through me as I walked towards Brooklyn and Rei followed behind. Hitoshi was trying to calm the guy down but he was crying now.

"Brooklyn, Brooklyn what's wrong?" he asked, worried.

"She's…she's…sensei she…"

"Yes Brooklyn?" he asked.

"Ming-Ming…she…" Ming-Ming? The freakish pop failure? Don't tell me this was about some rejection thing or something because that would be the lamest thing to cry over. Well it kind of makes sense since Brooklyn did know her quite well.

"Ming-Ming?" Rei asked. I turned around to face him.

"Aw come on Rei don't tell me you're that out of civiliza-"

"Shut up Kai. I meant what about Ming-Mi—look." he said as he turned my head back to Brooklyn, pulling a few strands of my hair off as well. But he still gripped onto it strongly as we both looked on. I could see the poor guy try to form sentences and then he finally managed.

"Ming-Ming…I think she's dying," I felt my hands get cold and Rei's grip on my hair get tighter. "Cru…Crusher took her…to the…to the hospital because…because she's…she's a mess. Sensei someone attacked Ming-Ming!" Rei let go of his grip and dropped beside me.

"I know this has something to do with the scream, I know," he muttered. I turned to look at his drained face and gulped.

"Question is, who's next?" I asked as the truth dawned on me.
