The trees swayed lightly back and forth in the wind, a hypnotic sight I must say.

Though all trees are just a blur most of the time, for Shun anyway. Being a ninja meant you could do a lot of dangerous things, like running through the forest at top speed. Jumping from limb to limb without fear of falling, and playing the recently invented game known as Bakugan. Though, pretty much any kid could play it, they just need to know a few simple rules. Which is why is game is so popular, besides the giant monsters that appear in the game of course. Though Shun knew that not every single person could play it.

Deaf people? Maybe, since they could look onscreen and see their Bakugan's stats.

Blind people? They can't see the stats or know where to throw the Bakugan. They also can't see the ability cards/gate cards. So Shun was not sure it was possible, untill he happened to check in on his friend one day.

"Shun, my man! You have to check this out!" Dan shouted excitly at his friend. They were talking through the computer. They do this by using what is pretty much an advanced Skype. "What now Dan?" Shun huffed. Dan had been bugging him with calls all day. "Whatever it is, it better be important."

Dan smiled nervously. "Well, its not so much important as it is cool" Shun raised an eyebrow.

"You see..there is this girl, who calls herself Silver. She has been rising through the leaderboards like crazy! You saw the board right?" Shun nodded. The girl was at the worldwide ranking of fifty-six, which was not bad at all. "Well, heres the thing..the girl, Silver, well...shes blind!"

Shun's eyes widened slightly. "You mean to tell me that there is a such thing as a blind Bakugan brawler?

Dan nodded excitly. "Yep! I dont how she does it but, she brawls! I mean..how can she know where to throw the bakugan?" Dan scratched his head in thought. Shun thought this was quite interesting, but not really importent. "Dan, this is cool and all..But not something you should bug me all day about. I would've found out sooner or later"

"Yeah, sorry about that." Dan didnt mean to bother his friend so much, but sometimes certain things were too interesting to pass up on. "You see, some guys told me that this girl hangs around in the forest close to your place!"

"And?" Shun figured that this was going to involve him sooner or later.

"And I was wondering if you'd check her out. You know, challenge her to a battle to see how see plays!"

Shun sighed. "Why cant you do it, Dan?"

"Duuude! I don't want to go all the way out there!" Dan huffed. "Besides, I have a date with Runo today!" Dan smiled, fondly thinking of his friend Runo. He had finally managed to get a date with her, and even if was just dinner at a pizza place, he was still pretty excited about it.

"Why does that not surprise me?" Shun sighed again. "Well, I guess it will quite interesting to battle a blind brawler. I'll go..if it means you'll stop bugging me"

Dan smiled. "Great! Let me know how she plays!" He shouted as he disconnected the call.

"Well, suppose I'd better get going. Wouldn't want to miss her." Shun mumbled as he opened his closet, looking for his bakugan. Skyress, Shun's bakugan, jumped up on the computer desk.

"I've never heard of a blind bakugan brawler. This could be very fascinating." Skyress hopped near Shun."I suppose this girl, not wanting to miss out, taught herself how to play."

"Bakugan is great after all. I know I wouldn't want to miss out" Shun said wistfully as he picked Skyress up. "Guess we'll find out sooner or later"

Shun almost regretted taking Dan's request. He had been searching out in the forest for way longer then he had intented to.

After a while of sprinting through the seemly endless trees, Shun landed on a rather big tree limb to stop and look around. He had yet to find the girl.

"Maybe this whole thing was a wild goose chase." huffed Shun as he hopped down to the ground. If this hunt was nothing more then a prank, Dan would certainly have to explain himself.

He had not tried calling out to her. Mainly because he'd rather not shout in a forest where anything and anyone could be. It could attract unwanted attention after all. But he was determined to find her. He just hoped he wouldnt have to yell for long.

"Hey Silver! Are you there?!" He shouted. "I want to have a Bakugan battle with you!"

There was silence. A figure unseen by Shun had stiffened, and turned her head around in curiosty. She recognized that voice, but she couldn't figure why he was here, or why he wanted her.

Shun was about ready to give up until..

"Why would you want to brawl with me?" A soft feminine voice spoke from behind him.

Shun quickly turned around and found himself staring at a girl about his age. She had silver-grey hair, a blackish-blue shirt with matching pants and a hoodie cape of the same color. The shirt had an odd red symbol on it and the girl's eye were a pale blue and they looked cloudly. She had a clear container of bakugan strapped to her thigh, the bakugan in it were Ventus by the looks of it.

"You're Silver?"

"Yes, I am..but why would you want to know?" She asked softly. "Why would the number one Bakugan brawler want to fight little old me?"

Shun was a bit taken aback. Most people jumped at the chance to brawl with him. Though, the girl did have a point. He didn't often go around looking for others to fight, especially those of a lower ranking then him.

"Because I'm curious as to how you battle" Shun said. "With being blind and all." He hoped he hadn't offended her.

"Oh, that makes sense!" She nodded, much to his surprise. "Most people battle me for that exact reason!"

So it seems that many other people want to know her strategy as well. Made sence, seeing as how Dan got the information from some other brawlers in the first place.

The girl looked thoughtful for a minute, then smiled and said, "I except your challenge! But first, i want you to come a bit closer". She beckoned with her hands.

Shun raised an eyebrow, but didn't question her. He walked untill he was standing directly in front of her. She smiled at his presence, then she raised her arms and put her hands on his face, preceding to trace his facial features with her fingers.

"Err..what are you doing?" Shun asked while stiffening at the contact. A light blush found it's way to his cheecks.

"Feeling you." She replied. "It helps me get a mental image of what you look like, since you know..I can't see for myself."

"Um..okay." Shun felt a little uncomfortable with the touching, but he let her do it.

She finally put her hands off his face, only to then run her hands through his long, thick hair. Shun hoped she wasn't about to feel anywhere else, he didn't want this seemly nice girl turning out to be a molester.

"Your hair is really long." She mused. "What color is it?"

"Black"

"I bet it looks really pretty" She sighed. She then released his hair from her soft grip and took a few steps back. "Now then," She held out a Darkus Bakugan. He looked a bit like Drago, only purple. "Shall we brawl? Or are you too scared to face Leonidas?" She smiled mischeivously.

"Yeah, Buddy! You doubt my girl's skills? Well she's about show you what bakugan battles really are!" Said a gruff voice from the bakugan. It appears that Leonidas could talk. He jumped out of her hand and floated a bit above her shoulder. "I could take on all your Bakugan at once if I wanted to!"

Shun smiled at their sudden competitiveness. "I guess we shall, after all..this is what i came for!" Skyress appeared from his pocket, she looked ready to brawl the confident Leon.

They both held out their cards, and two shouts of "Field Open!" sounded before the world seemly stopped moving.
