Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

From Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl

I can't believe it. My own bit beast has taken over my body without forewarning me, and now is roaming around.............. Argh! I can't believe he did that!

But what does he plan on doing? Max will know he's not me. I hope. But Dranzer knows me very well.................... No! Dranzer would need help to 'fit in' with everyone else, Dizzi has already said that bit beast's are spirit's, and have never had a body, so this experience is new to Dranzer............. This may lead me to fighting for control of this body, and forcing Dranzer back into his bit.

I can't believe this is happening. And its my fault. It started on the cruise back to Japan, myself and Max got kinda close............ Well, very close............ So close that the other three (or would it be four? If I included Dizzi?) have no idea what is going on with us. I had given our relationship a lot of thought during the cruise; I cared about Max, and was grateful for the emotion that he allowed me to feel, that I allowed myself to feel............ I was worried, fearful I guess, incase something would happen to Max.

My grandfather likes to keep an eye on me, whenever he's not at home, he'd have people watching me, out with the mansion, he never allowed any of his lackey's into the mansion, he felt the servant's could deal with me. But he was wrong. The servant's watched over me, and half they time tried to persuade me to stop training, worried that I might pass out with the heat.

Those men, the lackey's, were the danger to the relationship. If word got back to my grandfather.............. He'd want Max killed, or even me. He would want us to be hurt. To punish me in the only way he knows, make me fear him.

Actually, this is helping me. Though I want my body back, I doubt I could tell the time from in here, unless I made myself known to Dranzer.

Maybe, I should trust Max to help.................. I'll wait. I have nothing else to do. Plus Dranzer will need to rest, I may be able to take my body then...........

Dranzer was still in the mansion, in Kai's room, trying to get used to the human body, and feeling slightly weaker than he once was.

"I will use this body for a few days............. When those fools come back to finish what they started, I will be ready for them.........." Dranzer then smiled evilly and laughed. He then had a thought; "Kai would want me to go to Max. I would have to agree, out of all those fools, Max would be the best one to speak to.............." Dranzer smirked, his voice was not like Kai's, and it sounded lighter, even slightly girly. But he could easily change that; "I'll see Max, and give him your love, Kai," Dranzer spoke with Kai's voice.

/Hum, I never spent all that time in that bit without picking up a few things of my own./

Dranzer walked out of the mansion, and towards the Hobby Shop, to Max, and was more than happy to lie for the generation of him being in control; /Kai won't be able to tell the time in there./ Dranzer thought to himself.

"Kai?" Max was outside the shop, he was ready to take a walk, for air, for a time out. /Why is Kai here? I he having a problem?/

"Hey Max," Dranzer said, imitating Kai perfectly; "I figured that you would be here and I just thought I'd come and see you,"

/Weird, Kai doesn't normally explain his actions............/ Max thought, but said; "You want to go for a walk?"

Dranzer never said anything, just nodded, and so they walked to the river.

/There's something wrong with Kai............. He doesn't normally act like that. Giving me an explanation on why he was there? I know he cares for me, but I doubt if he would do that./ Max thought to himself.

/I have to be more Kai like./ Dranzer decided, and they looked at the river.

"Kai?" Max looked at the phoenix, now residing in his master's body. In complete control.

"Yes?" Dranzer said, managing to sound cold, but not too cold for Max.

"Have you given any more thought to what Kenny and Dizzi said?" Max asked him.

/That Dizzi............/ Dranzer growled in his head; "Yes, but I think I'll leave it for the moment. Dranzer isn't the type to just take over my body without warning," A private joke on Dranzer's part.

"I guess. He's a good bit beast, always loyal to you," Max told him.

Dranzer was trying to figure out if Max knew that he was not really Kai, and because of that he allowed his facial expression to be seen. And Max saw.

"You know, during the Black Dranzer time?" Max reminded him with a smile; "I know you don't like talking about it,"

"Yea......." Dranzer reverted back into his 'Kai'mode.

"But maybe you should. I mean, a lot happened there, it was your home for a time, your grandfather placed you there, and he placed Dranzer there too. He managed to create a darker and more evil bit beast............. I would never want that to happen to my Dracile.........." Max was holding onto his blade without his knowledge.

"It was terrible, but, I'd rather not talk about it.......... Not so soon," Dranzer informed the blonde boy, who nodded his understanding.

"I'm just letting you know that I'm here for you," Max said with a smile.

Dranzer felt his heart pang, he felt grateful to this blue eyed boy who trusted him........ No, trusted Kai.

"Thank you," Dranzer said, realising that Max was mentioning it to Kai, not the phoenix bit beast.

"Kai?" Max said, after a few minutes silence.

"Yea?" Dranzer said, lying on the grassy bank, with Max sitting next to him.

"How do you think Dranzer feels?" Max asked him.

"Pardon?" Dranzer said, nearly forgetting to sound like Kai.

"When you had Black Dranzer, Tyson had Dranzer. I know he did, even though he forgot in the end......... How do you think Dranzer feels? Has he told you?" Max asked him, though did not look directly at the crimson eyed boy for fear Kai might yell at him.

Dranzer had reassured himself that Max knew nothing about him being in control of Kai.

"No. We haven't spoken about it. I made a mistake, he accepts that,"

"That's good," Max said with a smile.

Dranzer once again felt his heart leap, but knew the love that Max had in his eyes were not for him, but for Kai.

/This kid is annoying......../ Dranzer thought to himself.

"I better get going........." Max said, standing up and looking down on Kai.

"Do you..........." Dranzer started, then realised it was another un-Kai thing he was about to say,

"No thank you," Max said with a smile and walked away with a wave.

/Damn it!/ Dranzer roared in his head.

And Kai heard it.

So, sounds like Dranzer has a problem. I wonder...........

/Dranzer!/ I yelled, and realised I had some control of the body now, and felt myself flinch.

/Kai?!/ Dranzer said, sounding surprised; /What do you want?/

/Having a problem?/ I asked, moving my hand. I missed the feel of grass on my hands, the gentle breeze on my face.

/No./ Dranzer said, and then I realised, and so did he I'm gathering, that we could easily read each other's thoughts in this strange state.

/Had a problem with Max?/ I asked my phoenix; /When you were impersonating me./

/Yea, like I'm going to go up to Max and admit that I'm Dranzer....... I think not. I want to enjoy my time in this body, not be followed like a lab rat by that computer bit beast and her owner/

I remained silent, and then Dranzer spoke once more.

/Max suggested that we spoke about Black Dranzer; naturally he thought I was you, but still/ Dranzer told me, and I sighed.

/If we must............/ I really didn't want to talk about it....... The whole thing was my fault to start with......................... Now we had to open up to each other.........................

This is gonna be painful in so many ways..........
