If at first you don't succeed, Try Kai Again!

Prologue

A shady figure slipped silently through the door. She had long, glossy red hair and honey coloured eyes that twinkled with both happiness and glinted with despair. Her cheeks were flushed with a rosy tint and red marks left behind by tears.

The woman picked up the end of her brown cloak and cautiously took small steps forward. As her eyes adjusted, she spied five sleeping bags in the long room of the Granger's dojo. "The one at the far end."She whispered. She had sensed his presence. Her precious master.

After what seemed hours, the woman knelt beside the fifth sleeping bag and cradled his pale hand tenderly. "Oh Kai..." Dranzer smiled, lacing her fingers through his. "I've found you. Even though you told me to go after your battle with Brooklyn...I still want to make it right for you. For you...a thousand times over."

The boy stirred a bit. His blue-tattooed face frowning with obviously dark dreams and thoughts. Kai unconsciously clutched desperately at Dranzer's hand. She frowned. "Your life...it has left you with nightmares that never go away...and scars that never fade." Dranzer bit her lip, tears beginning to pierce her eyes.

Her thin brow furrowed, obviously in deep thought. She had been thinking about doing this for some time. Kai needed...to start again. To have another chance. Dranzer thought with guilt "Maybe if I do this...Kai's life will have better beginnings. Maybe..." She glanced at the other four beds especially the Driger bearer and the Dragoon bearer (whom was snoring louder than Dranzer believed possible for a human). "His friends...though he won't admit it. They can do better for him."

Kai had relaxed a little but his features were still dark. His muscled chest rising and falling quickly with deep, anxious breaths. Dranzer smiled down on the teen; at last, looking at Kai like this, did she know for sure that she was doing the right thing.

Dranzer gently pulled her hand free from her master's grip and reached into the pocket of her brown cloak. Out her hand came, with sparkling gold dust in her small palm. Dranzer pinched a little of the dust into her soft fingertips. Biting her lip, moving her hand left to right over Kai, Dranzer sprinkled the magical substance.

It landed gently on the boy, and began to glow just a tad. Like little pixies or fireflies. Kai turned again to lie on his back. Dranzer sighed, relieved "It's going to work." She whispered. Clearing her hands of the enchantment dust with a tissue, Dranzer went to touch Kai. The boy who was like a son to her.

She wished to protect him as such, tenderly stroking his blue-striped cheek. "I'll check on you soon." Dranzer promised. Quietly, she got up and knew that she had to leave before sunrise. Before she would become a phoenix again. Silently, Dranzer slipped out of the door again, wiping loving tears from her eyes.

Hey! This is my first beyblade fic, so I hope I've done it justice! Next chapter should come soon enough. I know this chapter was rather sentimental but the humour shall come next (brother helps with humor bits)

Anyway, thanks for reading and please review : )
