My bit beast and me

I sat on a hill top and watched the battle happen. I had my eye on Kai for a while, just waiting to take him and his crew beysharks, a group of losers in my books. I smirked, same time as him, as his blade went high into the sky. The kid facing him had no idea what he was up against…..

Then down the blade came crashing into the kids. Fuck. This battle was over even I could see that. By the way names Koojiru, age twelve hair colour currently Auburn eyes hazel but usually green, my hair is short like me at 5'2 and I am skinny as hell. I also have a potty mouth, enough about me though.

Another crash down and that was the end of that the kids blade destroyed. I stood up, so angry. WHO DID THEY THINK THEY WERE? Ugh…. I went home and practiced again. Kai never noticed me lurking around spying, gathering all I could on his skills. I pretended he was against me now, a zig here and a zag there, perfect. Time for a smoke. Now I know what you're thinking oh my god a kid who smokes? Well that's just me! Walking around at night to keep it from my family alone, not smart. Didn't know why until that point. The point where I bumped into a wall of muscle and my ass was on the ground. I stood up ready for a fight boy did I wish I had time to say something before Kai pushed past me and walked on by, as if he was better than me! I couldn't stand this guy! I'd show him though, next chance I got I would shred his blade. Now yes this is all so fast but I'm cutting out the boring bits, such as me sleeping, you don't need to know about my dream or the position I slept in. Or my next days of stalking still. It was all just more destroyed blades and smirking and me wanting to kick Kai's ass. The day that's important was when I saw the other kid, one with the glasses being hijacked by Kais gooiness. Perfect! I would save glasses kid and destroy Kai bringing him back down to earth! I hid in a convenient corner and waited, no way I could take on all three of the guys, plus my only goal was Kai, their leader. Turns out their hide out was in a warehouse, so typical. The door was so wide, I had to wait for perfect timing to run into another corner and hide, that's when the bright idea came to mind. Climb up into the rafters and wait to pounce like a cat. My mentality was, the warrior who took their opponent by surprise first would win. They had him tied up, and were looking through his laptop. I laughed to myself at the voices attitude. With perfect timing a group of kids came in. The kid who had his blade destroyed was lead. That's when Kai jumped down from the rafters, scared me shitless cause I had no idea if he saw me or how close to me he was. As they set up for the battle I got my launcher ready. No way was I going to let this kid sneak in on the fight! Kai was MINE! And I had a thing or two to teach him! As the trash talking went on I lit another smoke. Anxiety I guess, I was starting to doubt myself now, long fall, wall of muscle oh god why was I so dementedly determined? Then I remembered just in time right before the kid could launch his blade I dove down launching mine. Kai didn't seem as shocked as I had hoped, damn! As his blade spun in place I lifted my launcher

"Hey asshole! Names Koojiru blading is my game and I'm here to take revenge!" I said with my most confident voice. Kai didn't even change his facial expression, which boiled my blood, I wanted him to notice me as an equal, or a threaght. Actually defiantly the latter.

"Right kid, this is between me and the kid with the hat, want to face me? Do it another time" his voice was so raspy but smooth, I didn't flinch or give in

"Yeah well I'm here now ya scared?" I mocked. He smirked, then started to laugh which shook me. Crap! Maybe I should have trained more why did I do this in the moment? I wasn't ready! A quick dodge saved me from enilation. I kept dodging actually, like a coward.

"Hey she's pretty good!" I heard the tall kid say. I smirked and went in for the attack. My blade slammed into Kais hard and I kept pushing, but he didn't even seem to break a sweat! And up…fuck…down….I moved but not fast enough he clipped the edge and sent my blade spinning, nearly out of the dish! Keeping control I dove back in for another strike. The battle went on like this for some time but in the end my blade ended up destroyed.

"Don't cry little girl, I'm sure your big strong soldier will avenge you" Kai taunted. I scoffed, as if I'd cry over this.

"I don't need anyone to avenge me!" I yelled back. That's when the hand rested on my shoulder. Kid with the hat moved me away gently

"Well I'm about to" he said with a certainty I envied.

"Just know one thing kid, you can't beat me, look at her blade and your old one, it'll end the same" Kai said

"We'll see about that!" Kid with the hat replied. He stared at his blade as I turned and jumped off the stage.

"Hi my names Eddy!" tall kid said. I looked at him and blinked a few times, before I could reply the battle started and whoosh my attention was goone. Up the bayblade, down…into….A TORNADO? What the hell! How was that even possible? I got excited as Kai's blade fell to the side. HES GOING TO WIN! HAT KID IS GOING TO WIN! I pumped my fist in the air

"FUCK YEAH HAT KID YOU GOT-" that's when Kai smirked

"You think this fights over, but your wrong" he said. A chill went down my spine. I felt something, strong, and not human. Dranzer, he called his blade Dranzer….which meant…

The middle glowed and my eyes widened. Spirits really did live in blades! Hat kid's blade glowed to and then two huge mythical creatures came out, hat kids a dragon and Kai's a phoenix. I looked on in awe at Kai's spirit, I loved phoenixes and there was one, right in front of my eyes. Kai seemed to be in awe to. I smirked

"Your not so original now are you?" I called, hat kid looked at me and smiled and I smiled back. The battle ended in a tie and I walked off, there had to be some way I could get a spirit in my blade. I looked at it, so soulless. Man they were so lucky! It was like having an extreme pet in your blade, therefore a powerful friend. I had just moved here, so I had none. That was fine, people usually wanted to hurt me after long enough anyways. As I was walking, I saw a poster with Kai's face on it. I launched my blade at it in frustration. When half of it landed on my feet I read it. Tournament? That's it! That's where I would face Kai! I went home and practiced some more.

I walked into the tournament lobby. I looked around for hat kid, he was with a blond kid and kid with glasses. I avoided them, didn't want their attention anyways, they'd probly think I was creepy anyways, bad blushing problem you see. After signing up I caught eyes with none other than, Kai. Ugh I glared at him and he just smirked. There goes that problem I have again. I turned around so he couldn't see my blush. I swept through the qualifiers with ease, as I know I would. Kid with glasses faced against Kai, and again his blade was destroyed. Kai had to just wait, "ooh no one can defeat my Dranzer oh look at me I'm so amazing ladidadida psh pretty boy" I muttered to myself as I lit up a smoke outside. Course, it would have been a good idea to look around me first. Wall of muscle man happened to be, you know right beside me.

"Excuse me?" he said coolly. My eyes widened and I looked up in shock mid puff.

"Maybe if you spent less time smoking and making bad impressions you would win more" he said. Was that a complement? Or a dis? I laughed confidently even though I felt shaken to be alone with him outside. Plenty of space to run away I guess.

"Well I'm good enough to be here now" I said with false confidence "plus last time was a fluke! First time I faced off against you, now I know your pathetically obvious strategy." I retorted. Before Kai could say anything back I put out my finished smoke and walked into the arena again. He he, showed him! Now if only I had confidence to back that up. We all lined up for preliminaries. I had the unfortunate "joy" of seeing Kai looking down at me. As I looked around I discovered another "joy". I was the only girl, oh joy. The baggy clothes probly didn't draw attention to that fact. I took my red bandana off my neck, because for some reason I felt very warm. I hoped I wasn't getting a fever that would just screw me over big time. Crap yet another "joy" I had to face off against everyone at once…..geese. Taking out everyone but Hat kid and one of Kai's gooiness I looked back up and smirked at Kai as in "hah think I'm so weak now?". This is because us three ended in a tie. Somehow it worked out in my favor, because now I was headed for the semi-finals! I walked through the halls killing time, not wanting to be found outside again by Kai. God he was so annoying! That's when I saw kid with hat's crew. The blond one ran up to Kai and got shot down. Did I mention Kai was annoying?

"Don't worry about him, he's got a stick wedged up his ass so bad I'm surprised it aint his spine." I said to the blond kid.

"Hey thanks! Names Max, and you aaare? Besides cute" he winked at me. I kept my face unimpressed and shook my head

"Names Koojiru" I said "and I hate being flirted with ass hole". Walking away I heard kid with hat make a rude comment about me. Whatever, guys were always being rude, and cat calling me or following me in my old nabourhood. They were just freaky. As I took my position I faced off against this guy with a weird hairstyle and head band. I learnt his name was Ray, god he was hot. My heart sped up as our match started, I couldn't let him get the better of me, I also wanted him to notice me, and Kai. Was I obsessed with Kai or something? No….just beating him. My attack was highly vicious but so was Rays and our match ended in a tie. So yada yada weird twist of fate always a tie. And then came my shining moment. Kai had taken Max out and it was now my turn to face him.

"You ready kid?" he said. I smirked

"More so then you" I said as the countdown started. We both had powerful launches, but Kai took control.

"I said it before, no one can beat me, especially not a smoker!" he said as his blade glowed. I braced myself for inhalation again, but then the weirdest thing happened. I felt all my anger sweep through me and my blade began to glow black. It was already black but now it had something else. My heart rate sped up once more as Kai looked just as shocked as I was. At full speed my blade careened into his and then this giant panther thing came out.

"Impossible! How do you have a bit beast to?" Kai asked. I blinked at him

"Its….a bit beast? That's what they're called? And I didn't know!" I called back as my bit beast grabbed Dranzer and they began to really fight. It was madness, and I even think Kai was sweating. That's when I recognized the feeling of the spirit.

"EBANY!" I called with joy. I smirked at Kai "your in for it now buddy we grew up together right Ebony?" Ebony looked back at me and growled with agreement. The battle lasted forever, and just when I thought I was going to win and Kai looked utterly shocked Dranzer grabbed Ebony and threw her, ultimately throwing my blade out of the stadium. I lost….even with a bit beast I lost. I pounded the ground. I was so close! How could I lose like this? I looked up at Kai, he grabbed his blade and smirked at me

"Still too weak" he said and walked off. I got mad, really mad and chased him. This was too annoying! He was so smug and snarky and if I couldn't take him down in the stadium I would with words! Before I could reach him a short fat bald man stood in my way.

"Hello there young Koojiru" he said kindly, but I was so freaked by the suddenness and so, angry still I snapped at him.

"What do you WANT?". I automatically felt bad, as he seemed less happy and more selfcontious

"Well, I was watching you blade, and since my team could use a woman's touch I was going to offer you a place but I guess if…" before he could finished I jumped in

"Oh god I'm so sorry! I thought….well never mind that a team? Like the ones who travel the world team?" He nodded "siiick! Yes I am in!" I shook his hand vigorously "I'm going to call my grandparents and be right back!". Before he could respond I was gone again. God I was getting so amazing at that! I called up my grandma and explained with a hyperness that couldn't be destroyed, or so I thought.

"I don't know sweetie" she said semi apathetically. Great she was high, AGAIN. "That's so much money and what about school, you know if you don't go you'll be eating out of a dumpster, beyblading is a game you have more important callings". Frustration swept over me but I kept my voice calm

"Grandma its cool, they pay and it won't last longer than the summer and-" I got cut off

"Still no, you haven't been very good to us lately why should we give you something for being so bitchy with us?". My eyes blurred over with tears and my hand shook and my blood boiled.

"I don't NEED your permission! I'm going and maybe I won't come back!" I slammed the phone down and stood shaking trying to hold back the tears. This always happened, she got high and changed, or drank and changed and it always ended in screaming matched or her asking if she reminded me of my father. Whom she didn't know. Lifting my head after some composure I whipped my face a little. Low and behold, right down the hall, within ear shot (aka Kai) was leaning against a wall, he heard everything. Good least someone knew what I had to deal with! We made eye contact, he just started and I gave him a determined look. So what if he saw me cry? …well ok it bugged me a lot but I kept my head high and walked by him, without looking at him for any more time. I had a team now, so I didn't need him to say something to help, not that he would, and not that I wanted it!
