Chapter One - Bro...

Sitting in the steamy classroom, her purple eyes remained unfocused and bored. She yawned, a rather loud and wide yawn that earned her a glare from her teacher who was clearly not amused by her lack of interest in the lesson. "Miss Hiwatari..." the teacher scolded. Maia looked over to him lazily, drawing a lock of her pastel green hair behind her ear. "As you seem so laid back, I'm assuming that you know ALL about the way of the samurai" the teacher continued to scold. Maia simply shrugged, she didn't really care, all she cared about was the device in her pocket, her beyblade. After school it was time for another training session with her brother. Oh how she enjoyed his company...not.

"Well as interesting as this has been 'teach...I'm afraid school will be over in 3, 2, 1..." the bell rang loudly and she jumped up from her seat with her bag, smiling innocently as she made her way out of the classroom. Many kids ran passed her, eager to leave school. She was busy watching a butterfly float passed her, the wind gently rippling her skirt. Even though she hated school, and her uniform she looked pretty content as she wandered across the school yard casually.

Maia was kind of like her brother, she had no friends at school and a lot of people considered her pretty weird. That was just the Hiwatari way, to be alone, and stand tall. "What took you...?" a cool voice asked. Kai was stood leaning against the wall, with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed. The usual pose. "Samurai lessons" Maia replied simply. "Training right?". Kai didn't reply, just stood away from the wall and began walking out of the school gates, Maia rolled her eyes and followed.

"Lacking social skills today Kaido?" Maia asked. He glared, "don't call me that, we have a lot of work to do if we're going to get you up to a good standard Maia". She shrugged, "you sound like Grandfather...he's poisoned you Kaido". He snorted and walked ahead of her. She simply took her purple and blue blade from her wrist band and stared at it with a smile. "I am going to beat him this time".

A few moments later, they arrived in a secluded area of the park, that was away from everyone else. Embedded in the ground was a home made blading dish. Kai had already thrown off his school blazer, leaving his shirt exposed with the school logo on it. He had Dranzer mounted onto it's launcher and looked at her coldly. "Are you ready?". "Born ready" Maia replied, launching her elegant blade into the dish, she grinned as Kai did the same.

They clashed together several times, spinning and chasing one another around the dish. "Awww, i think Briceus likes you bro" Maia taunted. Kai didn't respond, just folded his arms and watched Dranzer in the dish. "Pay attention Maia" he mumbled, as Dranzer swooped around the back of Briceus and struck right into it. Maia growled, in a frustrated manner. Her beyblade glowed with a purple aura, and a beautiful bird creature emerged, purple and blue, glowing angelically. It looked like a female version of Dranzer really.

"Go Briceus, get him!" Maia jeered, she was getting frustrated that she couldn't hit him, and her strategy had gone out of the window. "How many times do i have to tell you to keep a cool head Maia?" Kai shouted, "Go Dranzer, teach her a lesson she won't forget!". Dranzer emerged from the beyblade, clattering into Briceus, and sending her straight out of the dish.

Maia sighed and collected her beyblade. "Damn...". Kai sighed and caught Dranzer as it launched itself from the beyblading dish. "We obviously have more work to do, we'll resume tomorrow after school, think about what i said". He began walking away. Maia stared at his disappearing figure. "Kai!". He stopped. "Where are you going?". He shrugged, "home, where else?". She sighed, "Ok, see you there later".

Maia wandered in the opposite direction, out of the park and over to this tattered fence she slunk through quite easily. It was dark already, it tended to still be dark around this time of the year. She had sat herself by the lagoon that glistened with water. She often came here to think about her defeats she earned from her brother. "Why is he so much better than me?...we've had the same training-" she was interrupted as she noticed another figure at the lagoon. She stared at him. He was rather beautiful.

His hair was reddish orange, like fire, dancing on his head. He was laying on the grass, looking at the sky with a carefree smile. His eyes a beautiful, deep ocean blue. Maia's mouth fell open slightly as she looked at him. She NEVER thought anything of boys normally, she was busy with Kai's training program most of the time. "Wow..." she whispered. He sat up slightly, he hadn't noticed her.

A butterfly landed on his finger and he smiled at it, with a gentle, content sigh. "Ah man, i have school tomorrow, yet another new school" he suddenly mumbled to himself. Maia could have melted, his voice was so soothing. She closed her eyes as she listened to him speak. And opened them again to see him looking over at her. Swallowing nervously she blushed as he waved, smiling at her.

The young man said nothing to her, just smiled at her a moment longer before standing up and leaving through another hole in the fence. The moment he left she sank back into the grass, giggling. "Wow..." she repeated.
