Rating: PG-13 for safety and may go to R in later chapters, but I doubt it (I don't think I can write that kind of stuff)

Pairings: KaixRei, TakxHir, RaixMao. I am also open to other pairings if readers truly want that pairing... as long as it doesn't interfere with the pairings already mentioned.

Warning: This fanfiction contains Yaoi. For those of you who do not know what Yaoi is, it means BoyxBoy relationships; and that does not mean drinking beer and watching the game. It means kissing and enough sap to drown you in your seat... and other things. /coughs and blushes/ If you do not like Yaoi or feel uncomfortable about it, then I suggest you leave and find something more suitable to your taste. I do not want reviews saying that I didn't warn you, because I just did. /points to the warning/ It's your own fault if you decide to skip the warning and end up reading something you wish you didn't. Now, if you like Yaoi, then go right ahead and enjoy your reading time. -

Author's Note: Konnichwa minna-san! I bet you haven't seen me in a while... maybe because I haven't wrote anything in a while /cough and sweatdrops/ Anywho, this is my first beyblade fanfiction, and it is also my first Yaoi. I accept comments, constructive criticism, and amusing flames, whatever. I would also like to inform you wonderful readers that I got this plot bunny from a picture called 'The Son of Kai'. It's very adorable. Kai's son looked just like a chibi Rei who wrapped the end of Kai's scarf around himself. I thought it would be very cute if it was Rei himself in chibi-form instead of Kai and Rei's son. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the history of how this fanfiction came to be in my head. - I would also like to warn everyone that I like to use the original names that the creators of the anime gave their characters instead of the dudded names. It was hard finding the names of all the characters and their team names, but I did it. /poses proudly like a dork/ I will keep to the bit beast English names though because I only know the BBA's Japanese bit beast names. Anywho, I'll post all names used in each chapter at the bottom so it you forget or get confused, you can just scroll down and be like 'oh yeah, Kevin's Japanese name is Kiki...hehe'

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade aka Bakuten Shoot Beyblade or it's wonderful, beautiful, hot... /drools/ ....hmm, Rei and Kai.... /coughs/ hmm, characters. I'm just borrowing them for my own writing amusement. /grin/ Please do not sue me for I have no money because I spent it all to look pretty at prom a few days ago. /pouts/ I'm poor so you will gain nothing by doing so.

 

Prologue:

"They're arguing again." Mao whispered to Rai, her ear pressed rigidly up against the wooden door of the hut.

Rai smirked, shaking his head. Since Rei had returned to the village to lead the Bai Fu Zu two years ago, the Elders have finally and truly forgiven him for leaving the village with Byakko when he was fourteen. Sure, Rei returned back then after his first time in the beyblading championships to help train the youth of the village, proving to the Elders that he wasn't a traitor to the village like they had thought. However, despite what himself and his teammates had told them after the Asian tournament, and from Rei's short homecoming, the Elders still felt the need for more proof to Rei's loyalties, even if the village no longer considered him a traitor.

That's when Rei returned again. After hearing the new rules for the third beyblading championship tournament he wished to compete in, Rei returned to the village, to the Bai Fu Zu and leaded them through the tournament. They faced his friends from the BBA who had all separated into different teams so they can all have a chance to become the world champions. Takao and Daichi on the BBA, Max with the PPB All Starz, and Kai with Team NeoBorg.

Through the battles and pain that the Bai Fu Zu went through, the Elders saw just how much Rei had grown and learned. Now more then ever, more then when they first given Rei the most powerful Seijyu in all of China, did they think that Rei was truly worthily of possessing Byakko, the golden White Tiger and leading the Bai Fu Zu. They finally realized that the change in setting and people to battle really did improve his beyblading skills. He's knowledge, talent and skill grew in a way that they never could have if he had stay in the village.

It was also thanks to Rei's adventure into the forbidden world that also put the neko-jin village on the map. The village was now a tours attraction and doing better then they ever could have economically. People came to see the village where the famous beybattling neko-jin of the BBA and the Bai Fu Zu grew up and trained. Though they did respect the peace of the neko-jin village, only coming on the days registered, as while as the simple beauty to the village and nature around it. It was amazing how the evil deed of 'leaving the safety of the village' that they learned from a young age could have brought so much good to the little village.

Of course, much to the distress of the Elders, Rei left the village yet again to reunite with the BBA. For the last two years the Elders were sending letters to the wandering neko-jin, wishing him to return. Soon politely asking shortly became pleads, and then in conclusion orders and commands made from frustration. Nothing seems to sway Rei Kon to come back to the village.

It was understandable too. Rei was almost eighteen, or would be eighteen in a few months. Why would a bright young man wish to stay in a little village for the rest of his life? There was nothing in the village for him besides his childhood friends, the Bai Fu Zu. His real family died when Rei was young. It was Rai's own parents that took him in and raised him like their own son. Rei was like an older brother to him, even if they weren't related by blood. It's because of those facts that he knew Rei wouldn't return.

Nevertheless, the Elders kept sending the letters, each 'request' being politely declined by the young neko-jin blader. All these rejections seem to have put the Elders on edge, and after the latest reply from Rei, the Elders decided to have a secret meeting.

What was the meeting about?

Why, how to get Rei back against his will of course!

In addition to the first question, what were the members of the Bai Fu Zu beyblading team doing outside of the hut where this 'secret meeting' is being held?

Being the good friends that they are, they're expectation is to learn what the Elders are plotting and notify Rei about the plot before it happens. That's why Mao is listening to the meeting while the other three members of the Bai Fu Zu keep watch for villagers who might be wandering through the north end of the village in the middle of the night.

"They're always arguing Mao." Kiki retorted. "'Rei must return to the village' this, 'Rei must lead the Bai Fu Zu in battle' that. Rei, Rei, Rei! That's all they seem to talk about nowadays." The emerald hair neko-jin fell back to rest his body on the grass, giving a grand yawn to show his efforts of staying conscious. He may be fifteen now and able to stay awake this late, but the 'early to rise, early to bed' training that was programmed into his body for all these years made the young teen involuntary tired. He hadn't really changed much in the last two years, beside becoming taller then the hobbit he was before… but not by much.

"No offence to Rei and the Elders, but what's wrong with Rai being our leader? His a great leader. Why can't the Elders just leave Rei alone? His happy in Japan." Gaou spoke his thoughts to his teammates. Even though he's the second youngest of the Bai Fu Zu, Gaou has always been bigger and stronger looking for his age, and the same goes for now. He stood stiffly by the ancient oak tree that shaded the front of the hut, holding his large hand on his tummy in hopes of covering any noises of hunger it gave off. He looked the same as he did several years ago besides being even bigger then before.

Rai nodded. "Yes, Rei is happy in Japan. We may respect his wishes of being with the BBA, but the Elders do not." Rai sighed, crossing his arms and bowing his head in thought. "It's tradition for the one who possesses the Golden White Tiger to lead the Bai Fu Zu in battle. That is why they're so persistent. Rei is the Chosen Warrior to lead us, and as much as I hate to say it, the Elder won't stop till his is back in the village."

"Will you three pipe down! They might hear you." Mao hissed from her spot at the door before placing her ear back on the wood, her brow knotted in concentration.

Rai had to smile at that look. It made Mao look more adorable then she already was. Mao had grown taller than, but not as tall as he himself had grown. She is also more controlled and does not burst out emotionally as much as she use too. Her pink obsession had also calmed down a bit. Though she still had the (believe it or not) natural neon pink hair, tied back in a bow that gave the illusion of cat ears, her Chinese style clothes no longer always consisted of pink. For example, tonight Mao's usual white outfit with pink trim was black with white trim, complimenting her athletic and curvy body well.

Rai himself had changed, but really only in height and maturity. His black hair had grown longer and wilder, pulled in a long ponytail and ending a bit lower then his mid-back. He's taller, but not as tall as Gaou, and still a bit shorter then Rei and his muscles more toned to fit his matured body. He still had the same style; dark teal baggy pants wrapped at the lower legs and on his lower arms and hands, with a matching open Chinese style shirt. He also has the same fang necklace and slippers. Despite his wild appearance, he became a lot calmer and collective then he was several years ago.

But hey, several years ago he would have never thought that Mao and himself would get together. Mao had finally calmed down from her fascination in Rei, realizing that he saw her as his little sister. She seemed depressed by it for a while, but was back to her normal self after a few weeks. In addition to that, a few months later Rai noticed Mao would oddly have the tendency to blush when he touched or spoke a kind word to her. That's when Mao's pink obsession cooled down, allowing Rai to see past his pink enthusiastic childhood friend to notice the beautiful young woman that was becoming of her.

"Finally." Mao spoke, snapping Rai out of his thoughts. "They stopped snapping at each other and are talking about the plan they agreed on."

"What's the plan Mao?" Kiki inquire, looking up at the pink haired girl insist of stargazing like he was doing before.

"They're talking about some type of unscented potion." Mao answered, straining her ears to try and catch ever word. "When consumed, it turns the victim into a chibi."

Gaou raised an eyebrow at that. "But why would they do that? I thought they wanted to get Rei to return to the village, not become a kid again."

"Simple." Rai murmured looking at his teammates. "Teenagers are rebellious and don't listen to their elders while children hang onto every word and never question. If Rei's a child again, he would gladly return home if the Elders ask him to."

Mao glanced at her boyfriend with complete understanding of where the conversation was going. "And if he doesn't want to return they could just take him, no questions asked."

"I bet Takao would ask a lot of questions." Kiki pointed out, jumping to his feet and brushing off his pants. Takao was always known for his aggressive, out front personality. It was something the Bai Fu Zu learned while in the Asian tournament.

"Not if they just kidnap Rei." Mao added. "The BBA wouldn't know what hit them."

"Are they saying how they're going to give Rei the potion Mao?" Rai asked, turning to look at her.

Mao pressed her ear back against the door and after a few minutes of silence listening, she at last gathered enough information to answer the question. "Something about sending someone from outside the village to Japan and putting it in his food when he wants to eat food from whatever favorite restaurant the BBA have."

"Sounds simple enough." Kiki yawned, covering his mouth with his hand. "But kind of a stupid idea if you ask me. Oh well, I give the Elder points for their creativity."

"What are we going to do Rai" Gaou questioned, too tired to care for what Kiki just said and turning to look at their team captain with droopy eyes.

"For now, we rest. It's too late in the night to come up with a plan." Rai said, having taken noticed of the yawning Kiki and the half asleep Gaou. "We'll discuss this more at lunch after our morning training routine." Kiki nodded, poking the dozing Gaou and motioning him to follow him down the path to the more populated end of the village.

Rai watched the two go silently into the night before looking down at Mao, who had slipped over from her spot by the door and was now resting against his bare chest, glazing up at him. He noticed the worried look in her golden eyes and quickly kissed it away. "Don't worry about Rei, bo bui (precious)." He murmured while nuzzling Mao's neck. "You know him. He'll be fine."

"Yeah," Mao meowed, smiling at Rai who now had his arm around her waist and was leading her down the path that Kiki and Gaou had taken only moments ago. "You're right. I shouldn't worry. We'll make sure nothing happens to Rei, right Rai?"

Rai nodded, pausing in their stroll to give Mao a soft smile and a light kiss on her forehead. "Right."
