~Beyblade: BvG Tournament~
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade and characters or anything, so plez, DO NOT SUE ME!! (Clears throat) Thank you.
~Author's Note~ I've taken up writing again, and for those who have read my other fan fic on Tekken, I'm going to continue that pretty soon, I promise. I'm been so busy with my life since my internet's been down and all, not to mention school. Those aren't very good excuses though, and I'm trying to start up my writing again, so you should see another chapter of SFOL coming up soon. For you new readers, this is my first Beyblade fic. I haven't seen many episodes except for the last few of the first season, and the first ten or so of the second, but I do like it. My favorite character is Kai, and that's why I'm writing about him. I hope you like it, and if you don't, plez don't critize it too bad.... This chapter is kind of short, but I'll try to write more soon. Plez review!!
~Beyblade: BvG Tournament; Chapter One: Paranoia~
Sunlight filtered in through a tall window, into the hallway of an all boy's private school. As the light spreaded, it lighted upon a boy with grayish hair, leaning on the window still, staring out into the courtyard. The boy, known as Kai looked very different in his private school uniform; without his usual outfit, along with the trademark blue marks on his face or blue hair dye, Kai looked like any other ordinary kid, except for the mystery aura that hung around him which people always noticed. He wasn't any ordinary kid either, known as a world beyblader champion.
He drew out a photograph from one of the pockets on his uniform and stared at it. It showed four boys along with him apart from them, the four posing for the camera and him off to the side; it was taken before they had left for the world tournament and emerged as champions. He shoved it back into his pocket, and started walking down the hallway, his light steps, barely making a sound. He paused a moment to pull the outer doors open and walked into the fresh morning air.
The dawn and its lights made the courtyard and the surrounding buildings around it glow with warm colors. Kai took a moment to admire the scene before him, but it was hard due to his thoughts. He closed his eyes as he breathed in the scents around him inwardly sighing. It had been nearly six to seven months since the world tournament where he, along with the other four bladebreakers had won the tournament. It seemed so much longer than that.
Kai missed the days wandering the world, free to do things and although he wouldn't admit it, he did miss the bladebreakers and he did wonder how they were doing. They had taught him how to be strong through friendship and teamwork, but most of all they had accepted him despite of all his attempts to push them away and despite of all his mistakes which included joining up with the Russian team however short of time it was. It hurt to think of that time when he had been so blind to the truth. Never again would he do something like that, Kai thought fiercely.
The other things that bothered him was that he was still very uncertain of his past. The only facts that he knew was that he had been trained at that awful monastery and of his grandfather Voltaire. None of them gave clues to what he sought the most, his parents and past memories of them. They were still locked away somewhere in his brain, (a brain that was just wasting away going to a stupid private school to learn nothing) thought Kai, getting mad even though he knew it was for his own good.
Beyblading had given him an outlet to forget about searching, but now that he left the game, Kai couldn't help but think about everything in life. Unable to find a formidable opponent, Kai's beyblading things were all stored in his old place near the private school and he didn't expect to be opening them anytime soon.
"Kai!!," yelled a voice across the courtyard, breaking Kai from his thoughts.
He slowly opened his eyes, giving an inward groan for he recognized the voice. It was Wyatt, the annoying boy [in Kai's aspect] who always seemed to find him no matter what. Kai had given up long ago trying to avoid the kid and just reluctantly listened to the kid and helped him out from time to time. Kai couldn't help but think that the kid was a little bit like Tyson, though with better manners. Even though the kid was annoying, Kai had to admit the kid had potential to be a real beyblader, just like Tyson when Kai had known him a year and a half before. The kid definitely had not yet learned how to control a bit beast [Kai knew this because Wyatt tried to use Dranzer before and failed], though Kai had no doubts that someday he would master it, just like Tyson did. But for now, Kai enjoyed watching the kid get frustrated and progress at the same time though he would rather break an arm then let Wyatt know that little fact.
"Hey Kai...," said Wyatt, a little breathless from running, but very excited, "Guess what?"
Kai just glared him, a little perplexed at having his thoughts disturbed, and hoping halfheartedly that the kid would take the hint and go away.
Of course Wyatt didn't notice and kept on rambling on, "The boys' private school and the girl's private school next to us are going to have a beyblading tournament."
(What a motormouth, just like Tyson,") thought Kai and began walking away.
Wyatt fell into step beside him however, and kept on rattling, "Kai, it's a chance to see who's better; the girls or the boys. It's a great chance for you to start beyblading again."
Kai could feel his anger rising, and he thought irritably, (Doesn't this kid ever give up?!) stopped walking and replied sharply, "Look kid, I told you already and I really don't like repeating myself. I've quit that thing long ago. There's no one else besides the BladeBreakers that will give me a good fight. Why would I want to join a tournament full of amateurs bladers?!"
Wyatt turned around to look at Kai with a cheerful look not even giving a hint that he heard the anger in Kai's voice and answered back, "But Kai, the other guys told me that the last two years when they have hosted this, a mysterious girl blader showed up to challenge the top winner to a fight with bit beasts like the ones you have. The girl won all those times beating her opponent sorely. The year before last year she told the winner, Lar, who was a girl by the way, that she had potential to be a great beyblader, and gave her a bit beast. Lar graduated and is now a pro beyblader living in America. Last year however, she declared that the boy, who won, lacked the spirit to become a true blader. Guess who that guy was, Kai? You know Derek, that creepy bully that you saved me from? That dirty blader that will use any dirty tricks to win but we beat at his own game? She was definitely right. That guy had no good thing about him when coming to beyblading. Oh, anyways, rumor has it that the girl, even though no one has ever seen her face, they say that she was a world beyblading champion! Her clothes were just like the girl who won the tournament at the age of 10 years old along with her partner Akira who was 12 at the time. [They could have two person teams at the time]. She went by the nickname of Guye, "the little star" No one knows it for sure though. That's why you should enter; you might get to face a world champion too!!"
Kai replied back again sharply, "Why would a world champion waste her time on such a thing?! It's probably just a masquerade to excite the students over nothing," and started walking again.
"Yeah but....," said Wyatt following him, about to say something else, then seemed to think about it, "Oh never mind...."
Kai looked at the kid with surprise; it wasn't like Wyatt to give up nagging about it.
"Hey!," said Wyatt looking off somewhere, "Look at that!"
Kai looked ahead before him and stopped. They both had stopped at an enormous gate that was being pulled open by some of the boy's private teachers. They grunted with effort to lift the heavy bars off and unlock the many padlocks on it, and slide the gate open and diligently began latching the gate so it would stay open. Kai and Wyatt watched curiously as the teachers finished, and sat down one of the many benches around the school.
One of their teachers came towards them with a friendly smile. It was Mr. Hwang, their English teacher, and known as the youngest teacher in the school; he was very easygoing and nice. "Hey guys," he said friendly, "Are you ready for the tournament?"
Wyatt replied eagerly, "Of course! Oh... by the way, why are you opening the so-called forbidden gate to the girl's school?"
Mr. Hwang laughed heartily, "I've never heard it called that before, but we are opening it because the tournament starts in about five days. It's a chance for the girls to talk to the guys and for beybladers to show off their skills. More importantly however, some of the guys are really paranoid of meeting girls and the girls of them, so it kind of makes them nervous while beyblading. It throws them off their game. We're hoping the next few days will cure them of this as they get used to talking to the girls."
Kai couldn't help but laugh at this, making Mr. Hwang and Wyatt look at Kai in surprise. Kai said, "Why would a guy be afraid of a girl? Beyblading is a thing where it doesn't matter who your opponent is. Friend, relative or girl, why should it matter? The goal is to do your best and win. It doesn't matter who the face of your opponent is!"
Mr. Hwang sighed and shook his head, "Kai, you don't understand too much about human relationships, do you? Some guys tend to be shy when it comes to facing a girl on the battlefield. Anyway, I better go, school is going to start soon. Good luck guys in the tournament!," and laughed a little before heading off.
"Sometimes," said Kai, "he's too strange for my liking. Right Wyatt?," and looked at Wyatt. "What's wrong?," asked Kai a little concerned, because Wyatt looked so pale, "Are you sick?"
Wyatt gulped and shook his head no, "I kind of forgot.... I really am scared when it comes to facing girls!....."
Kai stood there and just stared at him.
