Letting Go

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade, blah blah blah

A/N: Ha, almost 2 years. This isn't the sequel. It's more like a... happier ending. It's also REALLY SHORT, just so you know.

I'm getting flamed so much lately. Oh well, flamers are the only ones wasting time and energy if they think I give a damn.

Warning: This ending is really upsetting. If you really like R/M, I don't think you should read this. It's really depressing. It's almost insane. This part should be rated PG13/R

You have been warned, so don't come flaming me that it sucked.

"Mariah..."

Rei paced around the room. Mariah said she wouldn't let go. That means she'll be back! She'll be back! She will! The doctors were in there, talking in low voices that he didn't even bother to try to hear. He knew what they were going to say. Poor little girl, so much hopes, died. All her dreams, dead... would her memories be dead as well?

One doctor, dressed all white, he spoke in a tone of no emotion but no lies.

"She has no pulse."

"Her heart has stopped."

"She's stopped breathing."

"She's become pale and sickly."

"Her brain waves fell flat."

"She can't move a muscle."

"I'm sorry, son."

"She's dead."

Rei let out a animalistic scream of pain and horror, but most of all, of disbelief. In a quick motion, he torn away and ran into the room where his love once laid. He looked at her souless body and slammed his fist over and over again, against the bed. "YOU WILL WAKE UP MARIAH! WE WILL BE TOGETHER! WE'VE TRIED TOO HARD TO BE TOGETHER FOR THIS TO FALL APART! I'VE WATCHED YOU FALL TOO MANY TIMES FOR YOU TO BE GONE. YOU WILL COME BACK. MARIAH!" He screamed her name again and it looked like he was going to scream those useless words again to a shell. Instead, his voice became hoarse and small as he laid his head on her bed, panting. "Please Mariah. You promised. You said you wouldn't let go..."

Maybe it was the heated lights that filled the room. Maybe it was the happy sun outside that gave no mercy, but Rei's voice seemed to weep... or was it his golden eyes?

"You said you wouldn't let go."

Tyson stared at the empty shell that was once his friend. He wasn't the same. Tomorrow would be even harder, it was her funeral. She was already in a coffin that sat in the Church. It was all planned, all ready. Ready to mourn at, to mourn for.

He thought about talking to Rei about it. But Kenny decided against it. It would cause him more pain if his friends were like this.

Rei snuck away. His catlike steps made no sounds as he crept to the Church. To be perfectly honest, he hadn't felt so good in a long time. And inside, he knew the truth. Part of him had died, and the other part was just waiting for the right moment to fall as well. Might as well get it over with. He finally came to the coffin. But he couldn't dare look inside. She's going to be back. There's just a little delay. But all will be alright. They have no right to bury her. They just don't get it. She'll be back. SHE PROMISED!

Rei started walking back, but a heated flash went through his heart. He could not be torn from his love now. Rei fell to the ground. Physically, he looked healthy, normal... but mentally, he was falling Breaking into the tiny pieces that would never form again.

So he was on the floor, panting hard. Eyes wide, starin in disbelief at nothing. So this was his end. Rei always thought he'd have a more honorable ending then lying on the ground, perfectly healthy, yet breaking apart and dying.

It didn't make sense.

Was he dying? How could this be? He was fine. He IS fine.

Another ray of pain flashed through him. Was he delusional? What... what was happening?

Rei got up and staggered over to the coffin. He couldn't control his body. Only half of the coffin was open. The moonlight shone on her milky face. His invisible strength gave out and he collapsed on the lower part of the coffin, which was close. A cold breeze went by, it seemed to speak. Rei...

He blinked. I'm sorry Mariah. I'm sorry. You were hanging on. I know you were. But I...

I'm the one who's letting go.

And then he closed his eyes to the world.

SAIODJODS'F OAFDS Omigash. That was the worse ending I ever wrote. I'm so ashamed.

I'm so sorry to all those fans out there. I really am.

If I can think of something better, I'll post that instead of this okay?

I'm so sorry!
