A Blessing In Disguise

Disclaimer:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
The lawyers are chasing me.
One's in red, One's in blue,
The both shout out,
"Beyblade's not from you!"

The girl with red eyes and a cat-like mind shall become one of the most
powerful Bladers in the world.
A cat's heart and a blackbird's spirit shall be her guide.
She worships three, but only two shall return her respect.
The last will choose her forever. Fear and respect the girl with the cat's mind, for it will prove useful in the future.

My name is Meganera la Blanca Tigressa. I lived originally in China, I guess, before I lived in America. I can't remember if I had. I never really was sure of my heritage. I'm a neko-jin, like Rei Kon from the Bladebreakers. This is my story.

I was outside launching off my Beyblade. I'm a fangirl of Kai on the show, so naturally I have a Dranzer blade. I launched my blade again and it hit the wall hard. The bit chip came flying out of the blade for like the dozenth time that day. I had been able to track down a Drigger blade, and hadn't put it together yet. I love Rei too. That's a fangirl for ya. I looked at my watch. 7:30 am. CRAP!! Beyblade is starting! I snatched up the blade and bit chip and flicked on the TV just in time for the theme song.

"Picking up speed

Runnin' out of time

Going head to head

It's a way of life

You gotta fall down

make ground

to get back up again.

Let's Beyblade!

Spinning it out

at the speed of sound

LET'S BEYBLADE!

BEYBLADE

Ohhhh

LET'S

BEYBLADE!

LET'S

BEYBLADE!

BEYBLADE

LET IT RIP!!

"All right! Only a second to spare!" I sat down and didn't move for a full 30 minutes. It was the final episode between Tyson and Tala. This beybattle would decide it all. Tala was cute and all, but I knew Tyson would win.

Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Megan. Well, that's my nickname, anyway. I have a pale complexion, medium long black hair with white bangs, and red eyes. People think that they are contacts, but no matter how hard I try; I can't get them to believe me. I'm somewhat thin and I am strong. I'm the only one at school with red eyes and one of the only people who likes Beyblade. I'm a Blader, a pathetic one, but a Blader nonetheless.

As soon as the episode was over, I went outside with my blade again and launched it off. Instead of spinning for a couple of minutes like usual, it stopped and balanced on its tip.

"Hey! You're SUPPOSED to spin around in the dish! Why aren't you spinning?!" I yelled. Yeah, yeah, I know it was stupid to yell at an inanimate object. But hey, I was still in what I call 'Blader Mode'. The blade stayed in its spot, so I figured that I launched it wrong. One of my Beyblades will stay upright when stopped if launched the wrong way. I shrugged off the strangeness and when I went to pick it up to re-launch it, it started to spin at a speed so fast that it started to smoke. My blood red eyes went wide as I backed away. What was going on? I felt a pain in my head and the last thing I saw was a bright flash of gold and blue light.

Kai's POV

We were walking back to the hotel we were staying at. Tyson was moaning about food, like usual, and Rei, Kenny, and Max were discussing new techniques. We walked by an alley when I say a flash of gold and blue. I went to investigate. I walked into the alley and found a girl lying there. She was wearing what looked like summer clothes from America and a golden phoenix on a thin chain around her neck. Her black hair was covering her face. She looked to be about my age, 14. In her hand was a small figurine. Upon closer inspection, the figurine was of me. It was worn and the paint on it was chipping, like it had gotten a lot of love over the years. It was worn in certain places, like it had been held in those spots between her fingers. I picked up the girl and put the figurine in my pocket.

"Hey, guys, look what I found!" I called to the rest of the gang. I carried the girl out of the alley. Rei came over with Max and Kenny to see the girl. I handed her to Rei and took off my coat. I put the coat on her and took her back. We got to the hotel quickly and Rei insisted we put the girl in his room. He unlocked the door and I gently laid the girl down. Rei called for Mariah to get her a change of clothes and to get her into a T-shirt or something dry. Mariah came up with one of her older outfits and Rei and I left the room.

Megan's POV

I woke up feeling like I had been hit in the head with a rock. Not a nice feeling. I looked around and noticed 2 things. One, I wasn't at home. Two, I was anime-ized. Wait, ANIME-IZED?! What the hell? How did I get anime- ized?! At least I wasn't chibi-fied or plushie-ed... I looked around the room for anything familiar.

Let me see... I was in a hotel room. The only thing out of place was something on the nightstand. A beyblade. It was a green and white combination blade and had a really cool bit chip. It took a moment to register what was actually ON the bit chip. Drigger. I closed my eyes to make sure it wasn't an illusion. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was that the blade was gone. So it WAS an illusion! I sat up. I noticed that I was only dressed in a VERY loose T-shirt. Then I heard a floorboard groan and I saw a person walking away. I froze. Rei. One of my favorite characters.

Must resist urge to charge and glomp the kawaii neko-jin ... Must resist... Hey, I wonder if he has the adorable pointy ears I've heard so much about... (AN: HELL YEAH!) He turned around to see that I was awake. I blushed when I remembered what I was wearing.

"Ah, so you're up. Good, you've been out for a while." He said with a smile. I saw his cute fangs and practically melted. Rei must have found me. (AN: how wrong she is.) I was blushing; I must have been, because my face felt hot. Rei smiled again and left the room.

I looked out the window of the room. Snow? Word association time! Snow = Cold. Cold = Russia. Russia = Tournament. Tournament = Bio-Volt. Bio-Volt = Demolition Boys. Demolition Boys = Tala!

I looked at the table in the room. On it were a pink Chinese dress-thing that had red roses on it, white pants and those black shoe-things. If I didn't know better, I'd say those were Mariah's. My white scrunchie was still on my wrist so I put my hair back in a loose bun.

"Ugh. Pink, ick..." I moaned. I got up and dressed. A disturbing thought crossed my mind. WHO got me out of my other clothes?! I decided I didn't want to know as I walked out of the room and head on into someone, falling to the floor. I looked up from the floor and almost fainted. I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

Rei AND Kai were standing in the hallway. I thought I was going to die of either embarrassment or joy as I stood up. Suddenly, I lost my balance. I was about to hit the floor again when two pairs of hands caught me. I looked up to see Kai holding one of my arms, Rei holding the other. I blushed so red that my face must have matched my eyes in color. Rei let me go and Kai did the same. They both smiled. Wait, Kai SMILED?! I must have hit my head harder then I thought. It took my all to keep from squealing and glomping like the true fangirl that I was. Damn they're cute!

"Kawaii..." I breathed as I regained my balance. "So kawaii..." Kai and Rei said nothing as they led me downstairs to the dining hall, though I know at least Rei heard me. Damn a cat's good hearing.

"Damn, these Russians can really decorate..." I murmured as we walked. Kai glanced at me but stayed silent. Typical.

When we got to the dining hall, I immediately noticed two things. One, there was a mountain of dishes. Two, Tyson was sitting behind them all, scarfing down more food. (AN: ok, a little exaggeration there. But who can blame me?!)

"Why would I not be surprised if he's sick for a week after all that food? Tell me, when did he start eating?" My last question was made towards Rei. Only because Kai probably wouldn't have answered.

"Oh, about an hour or so ago. Maybe longer." He said while shaking his head in an embarrassed sort of way. I slightly blushed and started to play with my golden phoenix necklace.

"Why am I not surprised?"

"Do you Beyblade?" Max asked as he walked over.

"I'm pathetic. Plain and simple. I'm good at making strategies, though." I answered. I wasn't expecting anyone to ask me, but I replied with ease.

"What kind of blade do you like to use?" Kenny had come over.

"What is this, some kind of 'Ask the new girl questions' meeting?! Ok, I like to use combination blade."

"Hey, Rei, who's the girl?" Tyson had finished eating (read as 'stopped stuffing his face long enough to talk').

"I don't know. She's the one that Kai found out in the alley without a coat or anything, remember? She never told her name or anything." Rei replied.

"My name is Meganera (megan-ra) la Blanca Tigressa (AN: yes, I made up that name myself.). It basically means 'Meganera the White Tigress.' My mother said that it was on the tag of my blankets when she found me. I'm adopted. But please, call me Megan or Meg. I hate my long name." I saw Rei's surprised face. "Completely coincidental, I'm sure. I didn't get to choose my name, Rei." I said.

Well, since I only got 1 review for Dream Within A Dream, I decided to post something new. R&R!
