Rei-chan: I wish I owned Beyblade. *eyes Rei*



As I watched the sunset, I began thinking of the last tournament and how we won the Russian tournament. It nearly cost me my life, but Driger protected me, and we were able to win the round. Tyson pulled off a win in the third round. Kai had betrayed us and left our team. I guessed I know how Lee and the other White Tigers felt, when they thought I had betrayed them. In the end, he returned to us.

Ever since I joined the Bladebreakers, my life has completely changed. I have a new perspective on life and on beyblading. Before then, beyblade was my life. I was completely absorbed in it. Now, it became a part of my life. I beyblade for fun, though I wish Kai could see it the way we do. He still thought of it as mission.

I couldn't believe the amazing adventures we shared. In China, I had to face my past and the White Tigers. Out of all of them, Lee held the most hatred and desire for revenge. It must have been due to our bit beast. When his grandfather decided to pass down Driger, he passed the white tiger bit beast to me instead of Lee. I could tell Lee was very disappointed, though he tried not to show it. When I had gone to learn more about beyblading, he took it as me deserting the team. From there, he was planning to get his revenge on me. Through some deceit, Kevin tricked me into losing Driger. I had been a mess, but when I beybladed, Driger came back to me. For the finals, we managed to pull off a tie. Max had lost, I somehow managed to pull a win, and Tyson tied with Lee. I chose to break the tie. That was when I showed Lee that there was more to learn. I used his black lightning attack with my tiger claw attack.

In the United States, we discovered Max's mom working at the Beyblade Corporation. While giving us a tour, she challenged us to a beyblade battle. What we didn't know was that she was measuring our power, attack, and defense strengths. Also, they were observing our attacks so that the All Stars could have an advantage in the American Tournament. They were able to use the information they gathered on us to gain an advantage, but we showed them. There was more to beyblading than science and technology. Tyson pulled off a win in the first round. I still couldn't believe I lost that easily in the second round. The All Stars had been prepared ahead of time. I, on the other hand, couldn't ask the Chief to reconstruct my beyblade in a few minutes so I had to make due with what I had. Max, at first, doubted himself and lost the first one. After some encouragement and some deep searching, he found his self-confidence and was able to pull off a win for us.

In Europe, we had been stranded by the boat. Mr. Dickenson wanted us to learn from the local beybladers so he had us miss the ship. That was when we first encountered the Dark Bladers and learned about the dark bit beasts. Tyson's father had sent us a message, with a warning. On our trek through Europe, we kept bumping into the Dark Bladers. Their mission was to destroy the sport of beyblading. As it turned out, they were defeated by the European champions and hold a grudge against them. In France, we met Oliver and his Unicolyon. He seemed more of the artistic type and a chef than a beyblalder. In Italy, we met Enrique. At first, I thought he was nuts. After meeting them, we met Johnny. He challenged Kai and won. We challenged the entire team to a team battle. They accepted only on one condition. If they won, they would go to the Russian Tournament instead of us. I faced Oliver in the first round. To our surprise, we tied, leaving the others to sort things out. Kai went up against Johnny. He had a grudge against a certain member of the Majestics. Tyson tried to help out Kai, but he wouldn't accept any help, until he couldn't find a way of winning. Johnny was pretty much the same way, except he didn't use his team mates advice and it cost him the fight. Tyson and Robert will determine who would go onto the Russian tournament. After a long battle, Tyson won.

As for the Russian tournament, I would rather not go into in detail. It was something I wanted to forget and move along. We had made some or should I say several discoveries about Kai's past. No wonder why he acted the way he did. He was raised to be a cold and heartless beyblader. As much as I wanted the Abbey to be shut down, I couldn't do it.

After the tournament, we had gone our separate ways. We agreed to meet in Japan at a certain date, when we would start training for the next tournament. I wanted to spend time back in my home town. During that time, I spent it teaching the White Tigers the techniques I learned in my travels. Out of the team, Lee was the most excited and spent several hours training. He wanted to learn as much as he could from me, since I planned to leave. We spent hours training.

Here we were. Mr. Dickenson rented us an apartment to stay in as a team. Tyson and Max shared a room, because Kai refused to and Kenny insisted on having his own room. With all of his beyblade equipment, he should have his own room. Also, he tended to stay up, upgrading our beyblades. Since there was only one room left, Kai and I shared it. He didn't mind as long as I don't snore. I didn't snore; at least that was what I thought.

"What are you doing?" Kai's voice floated towards me. I had been sitting on the balcony watching the sunset.

"Just thinking," I answered, not looking back at him.

"Thinking about what?" Kai inquired, with a suspicious tone in his voice.

"About how my life has changed," I answered him, leaning back on the chair. "Ever since I joined the Bladebreakers, my life hasn't been dull."

"You call this exciting?" Kai remarked sarcastically.

"Don't you?" I glanced over towards our team captain. "It's not everyday we get chased by dark bladers, nearly killed twice, sent to the hospital, lose my bit beast, be tricked into ..."

"I get the picture," Kai interrupted me as I ticked off the several incidents we had on our journey to the beyblade championships.

"What are Max and Tyson doing?" I asked, changing the subject.

"They're on a date," Kai said sharply.

Max and Tyson on a date? I think I need to have my hearing checked, because there was no way Kai just said that. I didn't think of them as the type who liked guys. "What did you say?"

"I said Max and Tyson are on a date," Kai repeated himself, with an annoyed voice.

Blinking several times, I guessed my hearing was fine. "How about Kenny?"

"Kenny went to buy beyblade parts," Kai said, taking a seat next to me. "He said something about upgrading your beyblades."

"That's nice," I said thoughtfully as we watched the last of the sun descend. "What about you?"

"What about me?" Kai repeated staring at the sunset.

"I mean don't you have something to do or someone to be with?" I asked out of curiosity. They said curiosity killed the cat. I doubt Kai would kill me for asking a simple question.

"It's none of your business what I do," Kai retorted. He turned his body so he could face the opposite direction as me.

"You know we worry when you take of without telling us where you're going or at least telling us what time you will come back," I sighed softly. It was the truth. One time, Tyson became upset when Kai didn't show up for an entire day, even if he didn't admit it to Kai.

Kai didn't answer for awhile. I could feel him shifting uncomfortably in his spot. "Do you worry?" He asked this very quietly that I had to strain to hear him.

"Of course, I would worry," I said hastily. "You're our team captain and friend."

"Is that all?" Kai asked me.

Suddenly, I felt a little uncomfortable. "I guess so," I answered sheepishly. To tell you the truth, I don't know how I felt towards him. I knew Tyson thought he was a pain in the rear. Max though he was helpful, when it came to training. Kenny thought he was a good role model, to some degree.

"I guess so?" Kai repeated me. "What kind of answer is that?"

"Do you want to know the truth?" I inquired while curling up.

"Hn," Kai mumbled. That meant yes.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know how I feel towards you," I answered him openly and honestly.

"You don't know?" Kai said very amused.

"This isn't funny," I huffed with indignation.

"Whatever," he mumbled.

A warm glow remained above the horizon. I should probably start cooking dinner. "I'll be cooking dinner."

"Hn," was all I received from our cold team captain before I vacated the balcony.

An hour later, I finished preparing our dinner, when Tyson and Max came charging in. Wait a second, they were dragging someone behind them, the Chief! The poor guy, having to be pulled around by those hyperactive boys, must be painful and exhausting. Once they had smelled my cooking, they were about to make a dash for the dining area, when I cut them off.

"You're going to wash up before you eat," I ordered them sternly, with my arms folded across my chest and tapping my foot.

"But we're starving," Tyson whined, which caused Max join.

"Yeah, we're hungry!" Max protested.

"When you're finished cleaning yourselves up, then you can," I said not wavering in my decision. As we were arguing Kenny and Kai were gone. When they came down, they both appeared to be cleaned so I allowed them to go into the dining area.

"No fair!" Tyson argued.

"They have cleaned up," I returned.

"Come on Maxie," Tyson said, pulling Max towards the bathroom.

Sighing, I turned around and took a seat at the table. Kai and Kenny had started eating. Most likely, they wanted to eat before the human garbage disposal arrived. I thought I cooked enough food to feed an army, but with Tyson's and Max's appetite, you never know. Although Max doesn't eat as much as Tyson, he still ate a lot compared to the rest of us. I was surprised they haven't started gaining weight with as much as they were eating. When I thought about it, they burned most of it off with their hyperactivity.

After finishing off dinner, I decided to do some star gazing. It helped me to calm down after a stressful day, especially trying to keep Kai and Tyson from going at each other's throats. Max tried to help, but sometimes he kind of added to the problem. I don't blame him, since he was only trying to help.

Sitting up, I turned around to go back in, because I was starting to freeze out here. I should have worn a jacket before I came out here. Oh well, what was done was done. I reached towards the door handle when everything went black.



Rei: Why does everything go black?

Rei-chan: Cause you're being kidnapped!

Rei: I knew that!

Rei-chan: Sure you did. -UU

Rei: I swear I did!

Rei-chan: Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure.

Rei: *massive sweatdrops*

Rei-chan: Tell me what you think. Should I continue or not? Btw, this is a Kai/Rei fic.
