OMG yes this is the sequel... took me a while didnt it? Haha, enjoy. Missing You by Backstreet Boys.

Oh, is there someone new
Can never go on without you
Girl I don't want to think about it
I can't sleep at night
I know this can't be right
Come back into my life
Come back baby come back

You took a step forward, up to the dish, beyblade in hand. You narrowed your eyes at your opponent and then at the emblem emblazoned on his chest. Biovolt.

On DJ's count, you both launched viciously, meeting in the middle. You were doing it Abbey style, as was the silent agreement between the two of you. Security lined the walls, and behind them, I could see the white uniforms of medics.

The battle ended finally and with a bang. You were victorious. There was never any doubt. But something was wrong. You were pale, swaying, and barely conscious. Your beautiful eyes were hazy and tired slits. Had you used that much energy?

No. I knew you hadn't. Though your opponent was strong, this was an easy win for you. Then what? Poison? It wasn't uncommon for Biovolt to do such things.

Men clad in Biovolt uniforms jumped down from the stands, and gasps and screams of shock and fear came from the crowd. I rolled my eyes.

The men surrounded your opponent, who laid spread out on the ground. He looked up with fearful eyes as one Biovolt member pulled out a gun.

I winced as the shot went off and blood splattered on the ground. More screams. Your opponent had just been shot in the head. His status? Dead.

I blinked. Suddenly, I was up next to the dish, when moments ago, I had been in the stands. I looked down; gasping quietly when I saw you sprawled out on the ground, looking up with fearful eyes at the gun in my hand.

I couldn't stop myself, I had no self-control. And as I pulled the trigger, a tear rolled down your cheek, and I'm sure mine as you whispered your last words, "I love you..."

BANG!

Tala shot up. Sweat rolled down his cheeks and his chest heaved as he dragged precious oxygen into his lungs. He looked around himself and flopped back down onto the couch. Just a dream, a nightmare... a warning?

He glanced behind him and tilted his head back as he heard the lock on the door click. The door swung open to reveal Jayne, grocery bags in hand.

"Oh, so you're awake?" she smiled and shifted the bags to the one hand so she could close the door. She crossed the room and entered the kitchen, calling out, "what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Tala sighed and followed his girlfriend into the kitchen. "Had a bad dream is all."

Jayne turned away from the fridge, her blonde hair slipping over her shoulder and her dusty reddish brown eyes narrowing. "Again? Not the same one again?"

Tala nodded and turned away from her to look out the window.

He had been having the same repeated nightmare every night since he and Kai had split up. There was nothing he could do, just like in the dream. And Tala was sure it had to mean something.

I killed you in the dream, and I can tell I've killed you in the real world. You used to know how to make everything all right, but now that you're not here with me, nothing is the same. Tala quickly shook his head, ridding himself of his thoughts.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

Jayne shrugged and ran her eyes over Tala's bare chest. She grinned. "Why don't you go have a shower, and I'll put everything away."

Tala looked at her suspiciously, but agreed anyway, turning to walk towards the bathroom. "Try not to destroy the kitchen will ya, love." Tala grimaced as the word left his lips. It felt like filth and as he silently rolled it over his tongue again, he shuddered. It didn't suit Jayne. No, she was a slut.

Tala slammed his fist against the wall and bowed his head. No, Jayne was his girlfriend, not some desperate attempt to get over Kai, because he was over Kai... he was.

Tala hissed as the hot water ran over his cuts and bruises from today's training. The stinging sensation quickly left and Tala pressed his back against the tiles. They were cold and little goose bumps rose along his arms.

Leaning his head back against the wall, Tala closed his blue eyes and squeezed them shut tightly, trying to rid himself of Kai's image. He opened his eyes again and blinked slowly. No use. He was always there, just like a memory. A memory of what they used to be.

There was a faint droning sound coming from the telly in the living room of his apartment, but Tala ignored it as he quietly closed his bedroom door behind him. He froze.

The cat twitched its tail back and forth, green eyes glowing brightly. Its black fur glistened in the sun and the cat raised a paw, cleaning it with a fleshy pink tongue as it kept its eyes on Tala.

Tala followed the cat's movements with his eyes and could not help but grin. So mysterious, just like a certain cat lover he was rather fond of. No! Tala glared at the animal. No. More. Kai.

Tala tugged a shirt on angrily. A frustrated tear dropped from his lashes, splashing lightly onto his collarbone. Tala hurriedly wiped the tear away, pulled on some pants and left the room, slamming the door shut.

Oh baby I'm missing you
We used to love so strong
Tell me where did we go wrong
Oh baby I'm missing you
They say I'll learn forget but it sure ain't happened yet

He found Jayne sitting on the couch, watching telly. She was quietly humming to the tune of the ad currently broadcasting, but as Tala entered the room, she quietened and stood. She smiled at him and walked over. Throwing her arms around his neck, she nuzzled his nose with her own. When she received no further sign of affection, she pouted and rested her head on Tala's shoulder.

"You're thinking too much," she whispered. She twirled her fingers in Tala's dripping hair, which hung low around his face. She preferred it down like this, rather than in the devil horns.

Tala physically winced as he was reminded of Kai once again. He let Jayne press up closer to him. His arms dangled by his sides and he ignored her attempts at getting a reaction out of him. As he stared out the window, he stared intently at the reflection caught in the glass. As Jayne's reflection morphed into Kai's, Tala blinked his eyes. I must be tired, he thought, then dismissed the excuse immediately. Yeah, tired of all these lies, he corrected himself.

He finally succumbed to Jayne and gave a reaction. He raised his arms and pushed hers off him. He stalked away from her and to the front door, grabbing his keys on the way.

"I've got a meeting," he mumbled then slammed the door behind him, leaving a scowling and confused Jayne.

Sitting on the window ledge, knees propped up and forehead pressed against the cool glass, Kai realised idly as he stared up at the sky that it was going to rain soon. He let one leg fall from its perch to brush lightly against the carpet and he shifted his arms to wrap around the other knee.

There was a light rap at the door and it swung open silently. Kai looked out of the corner of his eye to see who it was.

"Are you coming," Bryan asked softly, his hand resting lazily on the door handle as he pressed himself against the wooden surface. Behind him stood the Bladebreakers, Rei's hand entwined with his spare one.

Twisting his body, Kai finally tore his gaze from the window and stood. He patted his pocket, smiling wryly when he felt Dranzer. As he walked past Bryan, who was still holding the door open, he threw one last glance outside before the door shut, blocking off the view.

The rain will cry for those who cannot, he thought. I wonder if that includes someone like me.

I know there's a chance for you and I
And I believe there's no way our love could die
So no matter how long it takes I'll wait for you
And whatever it takes I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there

Well there you go, chapter 1. This will probably be only 3-4 chapters again. Not totally sure...

Bye!
