Here I am

Entering into the beystadium, Rei, Tyson, Max and Kenny made their way to the bench. The crowd screamed out their names in unison, excited to see the world champions in their presence, about to fight for them. Banners filled the room, with messages to them and their screams of approval increased as the announcer came forward and introduced them one by one.

Each one waved to the crowd with cheerful encouraging smiles, except for Rei, who waved slowly, looking distant from the event. He didn't want to be here, he hoped that his battle would allow him to at least enjoy this moment and forget about the heartache that he had encountered back at the Abbey. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the cheering support from his old team-mates: the White Tigers.

Inside the locker rooms the Biovolt team awaited their time to come out and begin battling. Kai sat in the corner, his head lowered as he thought over all that had happened. He was so confused, nothing was making sense, he had recovered so much of his memory yet there were so many small yet important things that he could not remember no matter how hard he tried.

Tala placed his hand on his shoulder only to have it pushed off again. With a sigh, Tala returned to the rest of the team.

"We have to go now…"

Standing, Kai followed behind his so-called team.

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on Earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

Stepping out into the beystadium, Kai's eyes locked with those of golden shimmers. Staring at each other, a silent conversation passing between them, one wo9rried about the other, the other confused and upset at what he had learnt. As Kai removed his gaze from Rei's own pained one, he walked over to the bench and sat next to his team.

The first battle was called and Spencer and Max were chosen to set the stacks, yet all the time two team members never even noticed as beyblades rounded the dish to attack each other and knock each other out of the beystadium. Their only focus was each other, never able to tear they sight from the other. Neither noticed when Max's blade was thrown from the dish and Spencer celebrated in his victory.

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am

The next battle was called upon, the announcer calling Tyson and Bryan to the stand, and the fierce, ruthless battle began. Yet still golden worried orbs never left the deep depths of confused crimson eyes. Rei was becoming upset and he wanted to know why Kai wasn't talking to him. Kai was confused and wanted answers… he wanted his memory back… he wanted his lover back… his right lover.

The battle ends and Tyson raises his fist into the air in victory, smiling proudly as the crowd cheered for him, chanting his name, while Bryan slumped back into his seat, head lowered in disgrace.

The announcer silenced the crowd to announce the last battle, "And now put your hands together for Rei from the world champion beyblade team, the Bladebreakers! And from the Biovolt team, let's give a warm welcome to our home champion, Kai!"

Here we are - we've just begun
And after all this time - our time has come
Ya here we are - still goin' strong
Right here in the place where we belong

The walk to the stand took forever for our two lovers, their sight still fixed on the other. Their focus faulted as the announcer counted down they only managed to launch their beyblades as the crowd cheered them on. Two blades danced around each other in weary enthusiasm, wanting to please their master but not wanting to attack their lover's blade in such heated emotions. Finding his voice Rei called out over the blades, over the cheers from their teams and the crowd.

"Kai! What's gotten into you? What happened? I thought we were going somewhere?!" The hurt and sorrow was evident in his voice.

"Don't you dare talk to me like you know nothing! You used me and you will pay for it! You said you loved me but after what I saw I know you were lying!" Kai called out, voice whimpering as it held back unshed tears.

" What are you talking about?! I never used you!" Rei called back, confused then ever before.

"This!"

Kai pulled out a picture and threw it at Rei. Upon opening it, Rei's eye widened incredibly and his blade was knocked out of the stadium, giving Kai the first victory.

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am

The second battle commenced and this time both blades were battling for their own rights; Kai to prove to Rei how much he hurt him and how much he wants him to pay, and Rei to prove Kai wrong, to prove his love for him.

"Well? What do you have to say now?!" Kai called out, gritting his teeth.

"What ever you're thinking, you're wrong! I have never thought of Mariah in this way, she has always been just a friend to me!" Rei called out, desperate for Kai to believe him.

"You're looking a bit friendly for just friends there, Rei!" Kai called out, angry.

"We were playing truth or dare, you have to believe me!" Rei called out.

"That's pathetic!" Kai shouted back.

"You have to believe him!" Rei and Kai turned to see Mariah, leaning over the railing, tears in his eyes, "It was just a game, nothing more, I may have had feelings for Rei once but never since he left our village, since then I've found someone else… Rei is just a friend to me now! Please, I don't want to see you two like this! Please!"

Kai looked over at Rei, shocked as his blade flew past him and out of the dish, while all that Rei could do was look back at him sadly with truthful eyes.

"Alright, we have a tie, now let's get down to the final battle! Bladers take your position, in three, two, one. Let it rip!"

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on Earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

The final round began but neither one were putting up a fight; Rei was watching Kai desperately, while Kai closed his eyes as memories returned to him one by one. He could remember the first time he saw Rei, the first time he saw Mariah, the first time he felt jealous… the first time Rei reassured Kai that he was his and only his… forever…

Looking up, Kai let tears fill his emotional eyes as he smiled warmly at Rei, "Rei… koi…"

Rei let a dazzling smile appear upon his now glowing features, "Hai…"

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am

With a bow of his head, Kai let Rei's blade knock him out, allowing the Bladebreakers to win the match. The crowd went wild with approval and with shock at Kai losing.

Stepping round Rei walked over to Kai, looking expectantly.

"Kai…"

Kai let a smile stretch upon his pale feature, "I remember…"

Engulfing Kai in a hug the two lovers allowed themselves to lose themselves in each other as they breathed in the essence of their lover, missing the closeness, missing one another.

Pulling back, not without a whimper from Kai, Rei satisfied his lover with a precious, yet frantic kiss. Fire ignited in Kai and he knew instantly that this was right, this was where he belonged.

Here I am – right next to you
And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothin standin in our way
Here I am – this is me

The biovolt team went back to the abbey and back to the infants without a word, not even a good bye from Kai, who was now sitting outside the stadium, leaning on the shoulder of his lover once more, as they would do many times when the glorious red sun set behind the snowy mountains that surrounds this once peaceful town. Looking down at his blue haired partner, Rei sighed heavily, breaking the tranquillity they had been sharing for almost an hour.

"Are you going back?" Rei whispered rubbing Kai's arm rhythmically.

"No… I can't go back to that environment…" Kai mumbled.

"What about the kids?" Rei asked.

"I will miss them, but they won't like it there with the atmosphere created by Tala and me…" Kai explained.

"So… where now?" Rei asked, having hopes of his own as to where Kai will go.

"… I don't want to be without you…" Kai whispered, hiding his blush.

"So… you wanna come back to village with me?" Rei asked, hopefully.

"…If I can…" Kai asked, looking up at Rei, biting his lower lip.

"Of course."

Leaning down, Rei captured Kai's lips in a loving kiss. He had missed Kai so much, and now that he was back, they were closer than ever. Their relationship had survived through Kai's amnesia… and he knew that now they could survive through anything… Altogether Kai getting amnesia was good for them… for now they would never be apart.

There you go, probably not what you were all expecting, but it all that I could manage with the huge change in plot and my lack of imagination!

Please review for me, you know how I love you all!!
