I was re-reading this, and I realized. If I was some other reader, I would have cussed the hell out of this story and the author who wrote this.
So, I will be re-reading, proofing and re-writing some and/or all of this.
Thank you.
Kurai Shuraii-Dark Lightning
Prologue
"Hmm... What else do I need?" Kurai looked inside her backpack once again. She had packed a jacket (for cold), and an extra set of clothes, some money and a hairbrush.
Yes, A hairbrush.
She had chosen a waterproof bag, so in case it rained, her things wouldn't get wet.
It was dark in her large room because she had turned off the lights.
She looked in the mirror and examined herself. She was wearing a yellow T-shirt that was puffy around the shoulders, along with a white pleated skirt . A brown bladers belt hanging loosely around her waist and brown fingerless gloves. Her sea-blue hair went past her waist and was tied in two ponytails. She looked at her reflection as two sea-green orbs stared at her from the mirror.
Kuroi frowned, long hair would cause disturbance in her adventure (not that she liked them anyway).
She quickly pulled the bands off and grabbed the scissors placed at a nearby table. She looked at them for a moment and then, quickly, cut her hair.
Now, it reached her back and was quite uneven along the front. She sighed, that would have to do (who looked at hairstyles while blading anyway?)
Finally, she looked at her bladers belt, and checked if anything was missing .
Oh yeah, she didn't have a beyblade.
She quickly slung her backpack over her shoulders and exited her room.
Kuroi Shiraii Otori, was the (not anymore) only child of Azuma Otori, the chairman of WBBA.
In other words, she was so rich.
'And the point of all this wealth?' She thought bitterly as she walked across the long halls, 'Oh yeah...his new family' .
She stopped in front of a large door.
Her father's study.
He would be here any minute now, along with his (not so) new family.
She remembered clearly what he had said to her last night...
...that he had been married before ... that he had a second wife ... that he had a son (older than her) ... that her mother's death was this cause...
... And that he was bringing them here today.
Well then, now it'll be the cause for his daughter to run away.
She entered the study and went to her father's desk and opened the last drawer to the right.
It was full of beys.
She scanned through them, wondering which one to pick. A few days ago she had found this drawer while she was snooping around the room. Besides, her father barely ever paid any attention to her. And now that his new (or old) family would be here, her disappearance would not be noticed .
She then heard the sound of a car entering the driveway. She quickly looked through one of the many windows of the study and saw her father entering the porch with a woman with long red hair, followed by a boy with tanned skin and long white hair. The former two were chatting happily.
If looks could kill, then all three would be dead by now.
The boy (who was supposed to be her step-brother) as if sensing her glare, looked up at her. Kuroi gasped and stumbled backward.
Quickly, she went through the drawer to get a bey when her hand touched a box. She pulled it out and opened it.
It had a brown beyblade.
"Black Thunder," she read the inside of the box.
Kuroi wondered what was so special about it to be put in a box?
Maybe it was stronger than the others?
Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps leading quickly to the study. She put the bey in her bag and opened the window leading to the gardens. She glanced one last time, smirked and then...
She jumped.
At 11 years , Kuroi Shuraii Otori had started her (un) official beyblading journey.
Chapter # 1:Birth
It had been a month.
A month since she had run away from her home.
A month since she had started her adventure as a beyblader.
In this course, she had battled many times (and lost most). It was quite fun at least, she had learned a lot about her beyblade.
She had renamed Black Thunder to Storm Cyclone (she did NOT want her father finding out about her! )
She had found some moves of Cyclone and one special move.
But , for some reason the Thunderstorm move always backfired on her and she would end up hurting her bey instead of the opponents' .So she decided not to use it but still, it quite infuriated her.
Also, during this short period, she had never told anyone her name. (duh! )
Kuroi sighed, and looked up, the sky was partially cloudy today and it felt like it was going to rain soon. She was in some unknown city, but she knew it was far away from her home.
She was walking on sidewalk when she heard, to her right across the road, the sound of beys clashing. She looked to the direction and saw three boys battling against one.
'The poor kid' , she thought , 'three against one? That's unfair!' She thought and ran across the road to help the boy.
But by the time she got there, the three beys were on the ground and the boy was already walking away, leaving the others stunned.
Kuroi stared as well. She was quite oblivious to the world of bey-blading. Had never before in her life! It was odd, the only daughter of the chairman of WBBA not to know about beyblades. But, in reality, she had never shown interest in the sport. After her mothers death, most of her time was spent inside the mansion, either alone or with a few maids who took pity on her.
It was until that night, when her father (who would never be there for her otherwise) had come to her room and told her. It was at that time that she had made her decision. She was going to go, even if she didn't know the first thing about it!
Fascinated, she ran up to the boy, "Hey!" she called, "Can I battle you?!"
Now that was a stupid question because he could beat her in two seconds flat (she knew). Nevertheless, the boy turned around to face her. He had dark teal hair tied in a low ponytail, two fang-like scars under his eyes and a huge scowl on his face. (Kuroi was not expecting that.) He was wearing torn black shirt and a green coat with ripped-off sleeves, along with dark-brown gloves and beige pants.
"And you are..?" he asked in a calm voice.
"Oh. I just saw what you did to those boys and wanted to battle", She sheepishly finished and pulled out her launcher and Storm Cyclone, "Can I?"
Now, the boy was confused, because :
1: That was no way to challenge to a battle and ,
2: It looked like she didn't know him. (He was one of the world's top bladers for screamin' out loud!)
Still, he pulled out his beyblade and launcher.
Kuroi smiled, even though she knew she was going to lose, it would be fun!
"3-"
"2-"
"1-"
"Let it rip!"
Both the beys landed.
"Leone! King Lion Crushing Fang!" The boy's bey, Leone, formed a large tornado and lifted Cyclone above the ground.
What to do now! Kuroi thought of which move to use.
First was Sandstorm, but that required sand! (Yes, she truly didn't know the mechanics of using a bey.)
Second was Thunderstorm, but that was useless as she didn't know how to use it.
And last, was Whirlwind, that would create a tornado like Leone's! She could counter Leone's tornado with her own!
"Cyclone! Whirlwind!" She shouted, and just as she expected, Cyclone created a tornado of its own, defending itself against Leone's attack, and landed on the ground (still in tornado form) .The boy smirked and thought, 'so she lasted that much'.
"I see you countered it , "He said.
But Kuroi had no idea what to do next. "Let's see if you can handle this one , King Lion Furious Blast Shot!" , he shouted, and Leone immersed itself in another twister and came at Cyclone speeding like a bullet.
Kuroi was so done.
But just then, it started drizzling lightly.
The Heavens were being generous to her that day, it seemed.
"All right!" She exclaimed and shouted, "Cyclone! Use Whirlwind again!", Cyclone formed another tornado but this time, the water droplets caught in it, making a water twister. So when Leone came at Cyclone, the water cushioned its attack. Leone wobbled a bit then went back waiting for his master for the next move. "Go Cyclone!" Just like Kuroi said, Cyclone sped through the water twister and hit. Leone stumbled back.
The boy was annoyed now."Ok, that's enough!" He shouted, "Leone! Time to finish this! Special Move: King Lion Tearing Blast!"
Another wind tornado formed around Leone and he charged towards Cyclone. The two beys collided and it caused the water twister to erupt, drenching the two bladers.
"Ah! I'm all wet!" Kuroi sighed, because when she looked, Cyclone was lying on the ground and Leone still spinning.
She sighed, she had lost... but at least she lasted!
She went and picked Cyclone. "Thanks for battling me!" She said to the boy.
Again, that was not what you say after losing a battle!
"Whatever", he said and walked away.
Kuroi was about to turn too when she remembered something very important. She called after the boy, "H-hey! What's your name?" The boy stopped and after a few moments replied,
"Kiyoya", he said "Kiyoya Tategami"
"Oh... Well Kiyoya! Next time we meet, I will definitely put up a good fight!" She said. "Well ...have a good day!"She turned to leave (completely forgetting that she was supposed to introduce herself too! )
As she turned , Kiyoya frowned , "What's your name?" He turned around.
Kuroi stopped dead in her tracks. The question completely caught her off guard.
She sputtered something unintelligible. Kiyoya frowned.
Her name.
Her name?!
Well she could say her name was Akane Sakuma, which was her mother's name before she got married too her (ass of a) father.
But then she'd have the same name as a deceased person.
"Yeah, your name." Kiyoya deadpanned, "Or you don't have one?"
"N-no! O-of course I do!" Kuroi snapped.
Then, she remembered a pseudonym she had come up with a few days ago. It held no special significance except for the fact that she'd seen it in a commercial.
Addison.
'I suppose I'll have to make do.' Kuroi thought. "My names Addison." She laughed sheepishly.
"Addison Sakuma!"She said, adding her mother's maiden name. "How silly of me not to introduce myself sooner!"She exclaimed.
With that, without another word, Kyoya turned and walked out of sight.
Kuroi looked at the sky, that was still filled with grey clouds.
"Addison Sakuma... eh?" She smiled. "Fine then!" She announced. "From now on, Kuroi Shiraii Otori is forever buried and forgotten! From now on there is only Addison Sakuma! My goal? To be the top blader in the world and defeat Kiyoya Tategami!" She looked at Cyclone in her hand, "We're going to work really hard from now on Cyclone! The next time we meet him, he is going down!" Addison (Kuroi) walked away to find some place to change and rest.
Two things she didn't know though..
...one...
...said boy had heard everything...
...and two...
...next time came came after five years...

I hope you all liked it.
I do not know how long it will take to revise all the other chapters and fill in the plot holes, so please, bear with me.
In the mean time, please review! ^^
