Practical Magic
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade or any of it's characters, sadly. * slips into clinical depression that can only be cured by watching a weekend full of anime, featuring Rei-chan and Kai-chan *, nor do I own the movie, 'Practical Magic'.
A/n: Hey all! Just came up with a new fic, based on the movie, 'Practical Magic', featuring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. If you haven't seen it, it's about witches, a particular family known as the Owens, who are cursed- any man they marry is doomed to die. This features, my favourite couple of course, Kai and Rei, and it is about how they overcome the curse, destroy the evil threat and of course, find love. However, this does involve the religion, wicca or more commonly known as witchcraft, so if you don't have an open mind, don't flame or better yet don't read. I, of course, encourage you to read through if you do have an open mind and can hopefully offer kind comments, or better yet, good criticism. Please read and review! Enjoy!
Warnings: Shonen-ai/yaoi, religious differences, some vulgar language, and possibly slight lime. Also the original storyline to 'Practical Magic' has been altered for obvious reasons, Rei isn't female.

"For more than two hundred years, we Owens' women have always been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong in this town," started a deep woman's voice.
"Is that why people hate us so much?" questioned the innocent, young boy.
"They don't hate us sweetheart. We just make them a little nervous," said a lighter female voice.
"Let's face it Jet, we Owens women have always created a stir. It all began with your ancestor, Maria, she was a witch. The first in our family, and you my darlings are the most recent in a long and distinguished line."
"Is that why they hung her, because she was a witch?" questioned the little, pink haired girl.
"Well the fact that she was a bit of a heartbreaker didn't help. Nor did it help that most of her lovers had wives on a hanging committee. But no, I don't think it was either of those reasons. They feared her because she had a gift . a power that has been passed on to you children. She had the gift of magick. And it was that very gift that saved her life. She was banished to this very island. With her unborn child, growing in her belly, she waited for her lover, but he never came, no one came. In a moment of despair, she cast a spell upon herslef that she would never again feel the agony of love. But as her bitterness grew, the spell turned into a curse; a curse on any man whoever loved an Owens woman."
"So is that why daddy died, the curse?" asked one of the little ones.
"Yes my darling," continued the deeper woman's voice, "Your mother knew; she heard the ticking for your father's death all day long. She knew that when you heard the sound of the death watch beatle, the man you love is doomed to die."
"But that's how you came to live with us," rejoiced the lighter woman's voice, "we tucked you into our lives and raised you the best way we know how. But with the sweets," she despaired, "come the sours."
"So when you find yourself the centre of attention," said the other woman, "it's not that they hate you, it's just well . because we're different."
*~*~*~*~* A/n: There's your little taste tester, what do you think? If enough people enjoyed this idea I will continue it. Note, I have yet to write the sequel to 'Numb', and yes it will be a sequel; I'm not extending the original story any longer. Anyways, I have a bunch of other fics in the process, a couple of Kai/Rei one shots . hehe unfortuntely I don't think they sound very good, but I'll try finishing them up so you can judge for yourselves. Please R&R if you want me to continue this.
