Sweet notes: A nice long chapter to make up for the short ones. Gomen ne to everyone.

Warnings: Yaoi, shounen-ai, Kai x Tyson, a bit of humour, lemon, a tad psychological… but think about it, if I can read it and comprehend it… how much trouble do you expect? Also AU Sci-fi. A bit of H/C.

Disclaimer: If pigs were flying, hell was frozen over and judgement day had come, I would own Beyblade’s… look outside, if any of these three isn’t happening, it probably isn’t mine.

Max looked at his friend strangely.

"How would you know? You were there! From the way you look I’d say you guys did have sex… but… you look like shit. Which isn’t normal after sex."

Tyson’s eyes filled with tears. "Please don’t remind me Max… I… he… something happened and he left."

"What happened?"

"Well…"

A good five minutes later there existed a long silence before Max burst into tears and attached himself to Tyson, even though the blue haired boy seemed strangely dry eyed.

"You poor thing!!! I’m so sorry!!" Max sobbed out, somewhat muffled by Tyson’s body. "How terrible! Oh god how terrible!!!"

Tyson winced, his sleepwear now slightly wet from the blonde’s tears. "Do you mind letting me lay back down, I’m kind of sore and the room is spinning." He asked weakly.

Max let go of him immediately letting the tired boy flop back down. The blonde wiped his face with a sleeve before handing Tyson the small bowl of soup.

"I think I know why," He sniffed a bit. "You’re sick."

Tyson sipped a bit of the soup and put the bowl back on the little stand, laying down and closing his eyes.

"Hmm?"

"Stress."

"Hmm."

Max smiled standing and slipping the covers up over Tyson a bit more. "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you."

"No… I’ll take care of me. ‘Cause… no one else… just want… stuff." Tyson’s breathing evened out, head lolling to one side.

Max sighed, whispering into the gloom. "I wish I could make the pain go away, but I’ll do my best to be here. Tyson… you didn’t deserve what Kai’s done to you… and I’m going to tell him that and a piece of my mind on the side." He watched Tyson sleep for a moment before standing and leaving the room. He had a little ‘chat’ to take care of.

Kai sat at the table and slowly drank the dark liquid. He felt like shit. Or was it Tyson that felt like shit? Well someone had a cold, it wasn’t him. So logically, he probably didn’t feel like shit and was in need of blocking Tyson, he didn’t want to feel the boy’s emotions, he had enough trouble with his own emotions as it was, he varied from cranky at himself for panicking and regretful that he panicked, he just didn’t know what to do, talking didn’t seem feasible.

But he couldn’t concentrate enough to put a block up because he felt like shit.

It felt far too crowded inside his head. He preferred the solitary world of his own emotions. He was used to his own thoughts, even though other Moonain talked to him through their thoughts, he never had to fear having to hide emotions, but a lifemate would mean Tyson would be able to read him like an open book. He yawned slightly and took another sip. He could almost feel the soft bed under him. Kai grit his teeth. This was so annoying! He had rejected the process before it could complete itself and now he was subjected to everything Tyson was feeling. He could only guess what other surprises came with his defile of nature.

Kai rubbed his eyes and looked up, wasn’t that Max coming through the door? He didn’t look happy, especially since he usually looked so happy it was disturbing. Un-funnily enough the boy spotted him and seemed to get angrier and head his way.

Kai sighed and put his cup down. "Can I help you Max?"

"No, but you could get your ass over to Tyson and take care of him you selfish bastard!"

Kai blinked slowly. He really didn’t need this right now. "I cannot." After all, what would he say? ‘I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with you because you’d piss me off and wouldn’t leave my thoughts to myself’? Oh yes, that would go over well.

"Yes. You can. You may not want to, but you will. He’s got a fucking flu from stress! You think a virgin isn’t stressed enough about their first time, let alone being forced into it and from what I hear you pretty much abandoned him halfway through! I apologize that I have to take sides, but he gets my sympathy a hell of a lot more then you. How could you be so cold! You fucked him and left him! Heartless bastard!"

To much dismay, for Kai, Max picked up the cup and threw it in the Moonain’s face before storming out.

Kai sat there, very stunned and very much dripping hot Moonain Freni.

~ ~ ~

Tyson felt cold, but hot at the same time, he was sweating, but he was freezing. Even in a dreamless sleep he whimpered, curling up and desperately hoping for something to comfort him. This would all be so much easier if something would hold him. His body hurt, his head hurt and all he wanted was to curl up in a familiar warm embrace. But he found none. And it stung his heart.

He felt so used.

So repulsive.

What kind of game had it been? To take his virginity and hurt him in the worse possible way?

He hadn’t even had a chance and now his purity belonged to someone who thought it was a joke, a good laugh.

He had lost a little piece of his identity, and it had never been his choice.

He felt violated.

He couldn’t even comprehend the emotions he had felt from Kai before Kai rejected him.

It was as if he was sinking into a well.

He wanted to drown in that well.

~ ~ ~

Kai stood slowly, feeling the hot Freni running down his face. It hurt like hell. He sighed as he moved to one of the sinks, washing his face with his hands. Someone offered him a washcloth and he dried his face, looking up and meeting Ray’s eyes.

"What is it?"

Ray took a deep breath. "If Max is right…"

Kai sighed. "In part… he may be."

"Then you are a heartless bastard." Ray bit his lip and walked away.

Kai sighed and slammed his hands down on the sink. "Ray! It is not that simple."

"What, that you took advantage of Tyson?"

Kai looked away. "There is more."

"What more? You’ve done something wrong Kai. The only way you are going to make anyone believe in you again is by admitting your mistake and fixing it." Ray shrugged.

"Are you telling me the whole crew will hate me unless I fix something beyond my control?"

Ray shrugged again. "Yes."

"I risked my life for them…"

"But that does not hold sway over your situation with Tyson."

"Since when does the whole crew know, let alone care, about Tyson and I?"

"Since Max blew up in your face about it."

Ray sighed and left.

Kai slumped where he stood, wings dejected.

The truth was… Kai didn’t know how to fix things.

He expected a reply, but what he found probably hurt more.

Hollowness.

Tyson woke long enough for a strangely red faced Max to feed him some soup and put a heavier blanket on his body. He wanted to ask why Max was red, but he fell asleep again. He suspected Max had put some sleeping weed in the soup.

He drifted between sleep and reality. He could hear voices talking about him, but he paid no attention.

He truly was useless, and stupid and unworthy of everything.

He woke again a few hours later to see Max sleeping, he didn’t take any of the soup but he did bring out a computer module from a wall and sit back on the bed with it, he extracted a chip from his watch and inserted it.

"Hello Miracle. It is good to have voice again."

"I guess."

"Miracle is sick."

"Yes. Max said it was stress."

"Caused by Alien?"

"Alien?"

"The one you hate."

"Oh, him, right. Yes, probably."

"Miracle has lost something."

"My virginity."

"Perhaps Miracle needs to experience this again."

"Experience what?"

"Purity of flesh."

The screen flashed and Dragoon brought up a file. Tyson shrugged and pressed his finger on it, opening the document. The screen was suddenly filled with an image that made the tips of Tyson’s ears turn pink.

"Dragoon! Close the file… it’s…"

"Embarrassing?"

"Yes! Now close it."

The image got bigger. Tyson gahhed and covered his eyes. "Dragoon! That’s not appropriate! My mind will be stained! Get it off the screen!"

The computer beeped and Tyson dared to look, only to see another picture. "Dragoon no hentai!!! Get those images off the computer!"

"Why?"

"Why! Because they’re horrible!"

"Horrible... elaborate Miracle…"

"Because they… they are porno and I shouldn’t think about that kind of stuff."

Another beep and Tyson took a peek, only to see a strange bird and a dragon twisted around each other, he failed to look closely and relaxed a little bit, studying the image. "Thank you Dragoo- OH MY GOD THOSE ARE-!!! DIRTY COMPUTER! DIRTY! ECCHI! HENTAI!!!!"

Max woke with a start to hear something about dirty computer and perverts. He blinked and looked at Tyson, who was covering his eyes and yelling obscenities at a computer.

"Tyson…"

"DRAGOON NO HENTAI!"

"Miracle…"

"NEVER IN ALL MY LIFE HAVE I EVER-"

"Tyson!"

"SEEN SUCH A HORRIBLE AND-"

"Miracle…"

"HOW AND WHERE DID YOU PICK UP SUCH A P-"

"TYSON, SHUT UP!"

Tyson paused and looked at Max. "Oh, sorry Max, didn’t mean to wake you, Dragoon and I were just looking at porn." He gasped and clapped a hand over his mouth. "I mean Dragoon was just showing off his porno collection! Gahh! Dragoon is dirty and weird and I assure you it’s not what it looks like and-"

Max ignored the excuses and checked Tyson’s forehead. "I’m sure you woke up half the ship. Hmm, your fever seems to have died down. But stop yelling like that. You’ll lose your voice."

Tyson meeped and closed his mouth. Max glanced at the computer screen and tilted his head. "Tyson… isn’t that a Phoenix, the Moonain Super A.I computer symbol?"

Tyson went white suddenly, after all…

"Hey… that looks like… HOLY SHIT DRAGOON HOW COULD YOU? TYSON IS TRYNG TO RECOVER FROM BEING SICK, ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE HIM A HEART ATTACK??!?!?!"

The computer gave several beeps and changed to a picture of two other people. Max twitched and moved his hand to the power button. "Cut it out Dragoon."

Almost sulking the desktop showed up again.

Tyson was lying back on the bed, breathing in and out slowly.

"Dragoon?"

"Yes Miracle."

"I think you just showed me how fragile my mind is."

"That was not to objective."

"Huh?"

"Virginity is a human ideal. It does not matter much to a machine."

"Dragoon. No offense, but after that… your opinion of sex has just been labelled Ecchi and not to be asked."

"I cannot take offense Miracle."

"Or you’d do something horrible next time I touch the computer."

"Yes."

"I know you too well."

"Maybe so. But do you not feel better?"

"Yes. I do. In fact, I’ve made a decision."

"Really?’" Dragoon and Max said at the same time.

"Yep. I’m definitely going to kill myself now."

Sweet notes: Er… odd note to leave it on, but still. ^^ I think I like this chapter a lot. New word to the glossary. It’s a lot better after Chibi-chan lovingly went through and Beta’d it. Biiiiggg thankyou Chibi-chan!!!!

p.s. Danke to R-chan for help on the layout of Hades of passion:

http://www.oocities.org/hades_of_passion

Glossary.

Upper level: The upper level of the world, pretty much a whole bunch of really tall buildings (think 80-200 storeys) with air ways, a place where most of the pure humans live.

Lower level: the real earth, beaches, and parks junk yards. Few pure humans live down here. It is overrun with non-humans.

Pure: otherwise called, ‘pure humans’ these are people with no genetic implants, no biological altering, no technology inside them at all. They are dwindling in numbers.

Genetics: people who were grown in test tubes basically, they vary in design and powers usually better at things then normal humans. Some people are altered after birth to become genetics; they usually live short lives.

Virtual holographs: Pretty much walking ghosts, they have no real substance and are only brainwaves coming from computers.

Cyborg: Most humans are either cyborg or genetic, cyborg being made of various metals, some cyborg never were human to start with, others are altered to a point they no longer are. They are pretty much robots. (Think the Borg… if you watch StarTrek)

Flesh collectors: cyborg made machines. Most cyborg get into fights and have their flesh ripped up, as they are incapable of regrowing this skin, they require new skin. This is what the Flesh collectors do. They find skin. Dead or alive is not important.

Moonain: A mysterious race of humanoid aliens. Said to be an ambassador of these people on earth. They resemble the Human Angel, and it is speculated that they have come to earth many times. They neither confirm nor deny this accusation. They have giant angel wings and are never directly seen unless the Human government has trades with them. They live on the far side of Neptune and refuse to allow a colony of more then four hundred humans to share their side of Neptune. They are incredibly mysterious. Most humans only ever see them once or twice on TV or in books. They seem to enjoy human media and allow any and all kind of writings or movies with their kind in them. They do not appear to have any children in their race, and refuse to explain why. Despite their similar structure to humans they are said to be very different mentally.

Hover board: A floating skateboard.

Insectiod domination: Several planets in different universes are controlled by large insectiod aliens which are extremely aggressive, Earth was once a prime spot for domination due to its large amount of food (humans) luckily the Moonain have easily fought off all attacks on Earth and the surrounding solar system.

Beastial warfare: Animal like aliens who seek to conquer other planets by using the animals already on it. There is a protective shield around Earth due to an incident in 1986, which almost escalated beyond control.

The Experienced: The Moonain version of dating. Not much is know about it’s effects on other races.

EMP pulse: electro magnetic pulse. It disrupts any electrical system within a certain radius. Although the current existing EMP’s aren’t quite as powerful as the one Max used.

Rejection: (Dictionary definition) to refuse to have, take, recognise, etc. To cast out or off. Something rejected as an imperfect article.

Moonain Freni: A Moonain version of a coffee. It is normally served cold, however hot increases its potency.
