Disclainer:"I don't own Beyblade."

"Bye Mr. Dickenson," Mai called to the elder and began walking down the hall toward her favorite room at the Russian BBA headquarters. She had just finished a hectic press conference with the news media on this year's beyblade championship. So far she was sure they wouldn't be satisfied with anything she had to tell them, even though she had just turned fourteen, her skinny body and young face made her look two years younger and they didn't want to listen to a little girl. What would a 'twelve' year old know about beyblade?

Mai just smiled and shook her head in amusement. She would forgive them of course, it wasn't really their fault, that they didn't know who she really was or that she bladed herself. Coming close to her private room, she stopped hearing the whispering of voices from behind the door when a sharp loud voice came through.

"I am the captain of this team Ian for the last time and you will do what I say!"

The voice was very distinctive and struck a familiar cord mentally as Mai tried to place it but sighed when she come up empty handed. They were in her private room and she needed to blade badly. Mai hadn't had anytime in the past three days to blade at all and her bit beast was getting anxious. She could fill the conscious creeping of impatience pulse from her blade into her hand. She summoned her courage and gripped the door handle and pushed it forward enough for her to peak through as the voice rose again. There were five boys in the room. One was short with a large nose, a large male with a bulky figure, another sitting on a bench playing with a knife, a furious red head with icy blue eyes and a calm collected slate haired male leaning against the wall with his arms across his chest. Mai fought down the screech in her throat and closed the door quickly holding her heart as she leaned against the wall.

"T..T…The Blitz..Blitzkrieg boys," she stuttered not believing herself. She felt a blush creep to her cheeks as she thought about Kai her calm and handsome knight against the wall and the fact that he was right behind the very wall she was hiding from him with. "He's in my practice room walking on the exact floor that I've walked on so many times before," she thought in awe. "I actually saw the Kai Hiwatari." She gripped her arms closer to herself and giggled with delight.

"Oh no," she felt another pulse from her blade. "What am I suppose to do?" she pondered aloud to herself. Going in there was out of the question but there wasn't any where else to go and it was her room. "I can wait," she thought more than willing to just run away. She remembered as she took the first step away that today would be the only day she could blade for the rest of the week and her blade couldn't wait that long. It needed to feel freedom and she asked so much of it when they bladed that it would only be fair if it got what little freedom she could give it. Mai sighed feeling drained slightly and wanting to scream with frustration, what an impossible decision!

She turned reluctantly and placed her hand once again to the door knob biting her lip.

"What's up?" Spencer asked when Kai straightened.

"Someone cracked open the door," the answer was plain and simple as Kai started to make his way to the door. Tala immediately stopped arguing with Ian and looked up with the others.

"It better not be another fan," Tala remarked in a disgusted voice that held the underling of a threat.

Kai gripped the door knob thinking the something on the same lines and yanked the door opened. A girl was on the other side and started to fall. With his sharpened skills, Kai moved to the side when she tripped over his foot. In a desperate attempt to stop herself, she grabbed his black muscle shirt and turned in midair landing on her back still gripping his shirt. Kai in a desperate attempt to stop himself from falling directly on top of her through both of his arms out catching himself by placing them on either side of her head. His body on the other hand acted on its own as his legs spread apart so that his knees touched either side of her hips.

For a moment no one moved and Mai was too shocked that she continued to grip his shirt as she gazed into his eyes while Kai stared down into blue orbs that were polar opposite to his deep crimson. He didn't even mind her holding his shirt in the fist of her fish net gloved hands. He watched in amusement as her eyes grew ten times bigger and her mouth opened realizing the position they were in and a timid blush crept onto her cheeks. Remaining with his cold expression unchanging he stood and she let go of his shirt mumbling an awkward sorry.

He didn't know why she apologized, it was more of his fault than hers and he wished he could blush or say something to apologize but that would make things even more uncomfortable than they were already. He wasn't used to feeling this way and it was only by the grace of harsh training that he managed to keep his composure. Ian on the other hand fell to the floor laughing.

"You guys were like… I can't believe it…I wish I… camera," Ian wheezed as he tried to gain control of himself.

"Oh great," Mai thought feeling the blood rise to her cheeks even faster. At this rate her nose might start to bleed.

Spencer seeing how she sifted uncomfortably and knowing no one was going to help her smacked Ian on the back of his head stopping the senseless laughter for everyone. Mai looked up at him and made eye contact before looking back at her feet again.

"What are you doing here?!" Tala demanded yelling at her. "No one is supposed to be here, if you want an autograph or something than you're out of luck. Get Out." His last words were final and so strict that Mai felt herself take a step back. The only thing keeping her there was the continuous pulse from her side bag.

"This was supposed to be my room," she whispered back at him timidly. As the words hit her she realized that it truly was her only room. At the Japan headquarters, there was no room for her to blade alone and they were moving around so much that she had never had a settled home, sadness came to her eyes. This wasn't just her room, but her only home.

"You're in the wrong place," Bryan stood up handing the knife with care. "This is a training room for bladers."

"I know," Mai answered eagerly burying her earlier thoughts, they were just too depressing. "This is just where I usually train. I designed the room for myself five years ago and Mr. Dickenson had it added as a birthday gift."

"Nice try," Tala chuckled. "You had your fun; you've talked to us now leave before I have to force you out." He pulled out Wolborg and his launcher from his back pocket giving her a grin.

Mai felt a large pulse come from her bag. Sensing the other blade, hers wanted action. It could smell a battle and was eager to defend its master. "I…I don't want trouble. Please it's just for a little while."

"What are you doing?!" a voice entered her head. "This is your room fight for it!" The voice was cold, deep and angry. "If I don't battle something soon…" it never finished.

"Blade for it."

"What?" Mai jumped in shock. For a second she thought that Saffron had said it, but the voice wasn't out of control with emotions. Instead it was Kai who came in front of Tala pulling out his Dranzer and loading it in the launcher. "Oh um okay, if that's what you want."

"You can not be serious," Tala shook his head. "I can't believe your actually going to blade her. She's like twelve years old or something."

"Um…I'm fourteen," Mai answered back flushed. Ian laughed harder as Tala looked at her as if he didn't believe that she had just corrected him, a world class blader and symbol.

"You win, the rooms yours but if I win we stay," Kai looked at her hard.

"Sure," she gulped and reached in her pouch. "I hope you're ready for this," she thought.

"Oh please, this is going to be easy," the deep voice grinned in her head.

"Three…two…one…Let it Rip!"

The two blades circled the arena; Kai's was a deep blue while hers was a light blue with white stripes. "That blade," Kai thought taking a glance at his opponent. "It couldn't be."

"Now!" Her battle cry woke him up and he barely moved Dranzer out of the path of the oncoming blade. "Again." The blade circled and came back around forcing Dranzer to take the attack full force.

"Hmp," Kai allowed a small smirk to grace his lips as Dranzer pushed back creating sparks and forcing the other blade toward the edge of the dish.

"I can't lose this," Mai thought biting her lip. "I know its Kai and well I am nervous but this may be my only chance to prove I'm worthy to carry my parent's names. I can do this, I have to do this." Her blade swerved to the left quickly breaking through and making both blades wobble. "It's now or never," she whispered. "Saffron!" she yelled.

Her blade glowed in a light as two wings appeared than a male being. His head was lowered against his chest as white wings beat above him. His body was aqua marine, almost the same shade as Mai's eyes and the tip of his hair, to hang in his face as well as curve in an arch forward in his eyesight, was white. As Saffron lifted his head slowly, he revealed two of the coldest dark blue eyes any of the boys had ever seen and stared back at Kai in fury. Even Tala was taken back.

"Hmp," Kai smiled wider and yelled, "Dranzer!" The phoenix emerged wing first just as the other had and lifted her head giving a shriek as she moved forward at top speed, meeting Saffron head on. When the light from the collision cleared, both blades lay unmoving in the ring.

"Wow," Ian managed not believing she had let out enough power to match Hiwatari. Mai bit her lip again as she picked up her blade simultaneously with Kai across from her.

"Thank you so much for the battle," she smiled even though Kai narrowed his eyes in confusion at her. "I'll let you continue your practice for the tournament. It was nice to meet you Kai," she held out a hand holding her breath. To her amazement Kai shook her hand in a deep grip studying her and making her blush. She bowed to everyone else than ran out the door.

"Well that was different," Ian voiced. "So I'm going to start us in the first match."

"For the last time," Tala turned to Ian. "You are not going to start us off in the tournament. You'll be lucky if I let you play at all."

Kai studied the door before walking back and leaning against the wall.

"Thank you for the meal Mr. Dickenson," Mai stood, "I'm sorry I couldn't find the time to cook us dinner."

"Don't worry young lady; I have you busy enough as it is. I'll see you tomorrow Mai."

"Yes sir," Mai was always polite to him as she ran up to her hotel room and got ready for a long warm bath. When she pulled out the blade she stared at it, the attack ring was melted on of the points making it extremely dull. She would have to replace it tomorrow.

"I can't believe I met Kai," she whispered in awe as she climbed in the water. "It's so unbelievable." She glanced back at Saffron who had spoken since the match. He never did after a loss. "I hope I made you proud mom, dad." She looked out the window staring at the pretty stars in the clear sky.

"She must be their daughter," Kai said aloud standing on the balcony. The others were out eating which he had declined. It had given him the time he needed to research two of the most acclaimed bladers in the world and he found what he needed. Taking Dranzer out of his pocket, he noticed one of the sides had somewhat become worn out, like water had splashed up on it several times wearing it down. "I'll have to fix you tomorrow," Kai muttered fondly at his blade before continuing to star out at the cool Russian sky.
