Rei POV

Rei was running to the airport, 'his' long black hair was swinging wildly behind 'him' as 'he' ran. 'He' was about ten meters away from the airport when the first blast went off. 'He' heard screams and cries from inside the building grow louder as the term 'plans going up in smoke' was given a whole new meaning. 'He' turned around to see Kai on his mobile, Kenny had passed out and Tyson and Max were shouting as the sound of death and destruction ripped through 'his' before all went black.

Rei opened 'his' eyes to find 'himself' looking at three concerned faces.

"How are you alright the dude? You totally freaked us out then when you collapsed and if Kai hadn't been there to catch you…" Tyson tailed off still looking worried. Rei blushed as 'he' felt Kai's warm body pressed against 'his' back before Kai helped 'him' to 'his' feet.

"But I'm fine so we better get going or I will miss my plane and then we really would have a problem," Rei finished attempting to lighten the mood a little.

When they reached the airport it looked eerily familiar. 'He' knew that all Drigger wielders had visions, for example when 'he' was five 'he' was visiting village chief when everything went black for a moment and in 'his' mind 'he' saw the old man falling over clutching his chest and so when 'he' came to 'he' started yelling "chest hurty, chest hurty!" two days later the old man suffered a massive heart attack and died. That confirmed it, 'he' was the one destined to wield Drigger. They continued walking towards the airport and every step Rei' nerves were wound tighter and tighter until 'he' was forcing 'himself' not to scream and the blast went off. That did it and Rei screamed. 'He' watched as the dreadful scene unfolded in front of 'his' very eyes and knowing 'he' was powerless to stop it. After the police, ambulance and firefighters arrived they decided to leave and go back to Kai's mansion since they knew they would only get in the way there. As soon as they arrived 'he' ran to the phone next to the stairs and dialed 'his' number.

"Hello, this is Mr. Kon."

"Hi dad it's me."

"Rei is that you? Why on Earth are you not here?" 'His' father said sounding angry.

"Because someone blew up the airport," Rei replied nervously.

"You wouldn't have made it in time anyway. You should have been here last week. Do what you want because you will either die in three and a half hours or you're disowned and forbidden to enter the village," His father snapped.

Click!

'He' slammed the door of 'his' room and locked it before collapsing on 'his' bed and crying. There was no possible way 'he' could get home now and in three hour the spell would be broken and it would never work again. 'He' heard the yells of 'his' team mates trying to get 'him' to come out because someone had broken something; Kai was going to kill Tyson etc but all Rei could hear was the steady ticking of 'his' clock. 'He' suddenly remembered back to when 'he' was eleven and about to leave to become a master beyblader and leave the White Tigers.

Flashback

"Rei dear it is time we told you something," 'his' father said sounding serious.

"What is it dad?" 'He' asked not losing the excited tone in 'his' voice since 'he' was about to leave to become a master beyblader and bring honor to 'his' family.

"Rei before you were born the former Drigger wielder foretold that the one who would be the next Drigger wielder would be our first and only child. Two months later your mother fell pregnant with you but you were born a girl." Rei looked up at 'his' dad confused but knew that the questions would be answered more quickly if 'he' didn't ask them.

"Anyway the whole village agreed that there must have been some mistake because Drigger could not be wielded by a woman so your mother and I tried to have another but two moths after your mother caught a terrible disease and died. The tribe still was totally against a girl wielding Drigger but you were the only one who would be able. Later that week a Tiger Priest came through the village and claimed that he to would be able to make you male if you were still under one year old. Seeing no other option the village forced me to agree to it. The reason I'm telling you this is that five moths after your eighteenth birthday you must return and have the spell redone in order to remain an honorable male. If you do not you will return to you natural form and remain that way forever." 'His' father finished.

"But father what if I decided I wanted to be a girl…"

"SILENCE… YOU WILL COME BACK WHEN I TOLD YOU TO OR YOU WILL BECOME A DISGRACE AND I WILL DISOWN YOU! THAT IS IF YOU SURVIVE TURNING BACK TO YOUR NATURAL STATE! END OF DISCUSSION!" 'His' father roared and stomped out of the room.

End of flashback

'He' was torn from the memory as a searing pain ran through 'his' body but it only grew worse as it felt like 'he' was being literally torn to shreds as 'his' bones and muscles grew and shrunk accordingly. No scream and crying would enough to show even a margin of the pain that the transformation of turning from an eighteen year old boy and into an eighteen year old girl was causing. Finally the pain died away as she collapsed on her bed and fell into blissful darkness.
