Well, here's chapter 2, I hope you enjoy! R &R

Kai: blackamber doesn't own us...

Tala: although she wishes she does...

Amy: but she does own my team and I

"You need to relax a little more, Amy."

The 6 year old girl looked up from the dish at her older brother. She gave a soft smile and an enthusiastic nod, not trusting her words. She knew she'd stammer if she tried; she always stammered. Her brother seemed to be the only person who accepted her for her speech impediment… and her slight insomnia… and epileptic fits.

"You know you shouldn't nod your head like that Am," Kai said with a sigh. The seven year old boy cherished his sisters' life, he figured it was because of her 'disabilities' that made her very dependent on someone else. Unfortunately, he was only one who seemed to give her the support she needed. People teased her for her stammering, causing it to get worse and when her insomnia started her body went into a sort of shock that led to the epilepsy; a result of a 'harmless' prank.

"I-I-I kn-know," Amy stammered, trying to refocus on their mini battle. Her brothers' Dranzer circled her blade; she waited patiently for him to attack, knowing he'd either go easy and let her win or get bored and knock her out. The two never did any serious bey-battling, her brother wouldn't let her in fear that she'd go into a fit. Whenever she was put under a lot of pressure or when she'd jostle her head her epilepsy took hold of her.

It would start as a simple rolling of her eyes, then the involuntary twitching would start, slowly getting more and more violent, followed by her knees buckling and finally, the seizure would take hold.

"Let's stop for now," Kai ordered, summoning Dranzer back.

"O-o-okay." Amy smiled at him, summoning her own blade. She always stayed close to her older brother, not in an idolizing sort of way, but rather for protection. No one picked on her when she was with her brother. "Wh-what are w-w-we g-goin' t-to d-d-do now?"

Kai ruffled her hair, "just follow me, kay kid?" He often called her kid, even though she was barely a year younger.

Amy nodded, smiling once more at her big brother.

Amy stared across the battle field at her brother, focused on the thought that always clouded her mind; what had happened to the brother she had once loved so dearly... the one who use to actually care about her. But just as he had changed, so had she. She managed to work past her insomnia, epilepsy, not to mention she didn't stammer anymore. As soon as she left the Abbey her confidence rose greatly, seeming to take all her aliments away.

She inhaled and exhaled deeply, her eyes falling on Hien, watching him circle Dranzer. She smirked, Kai had no idea of the power her blade held now. When he use to practise with her, by choice, she hadn't had any bit-beast; and now of course she had Hien.

"Well, are you going to attack or have you lost your nerve so soon?" Kai mocked, "not that it wouldn't surprise me if you did, afterall, you never did have much of a backbone."

Amy growled darkly at her brother, "we'll see about that. Hien, Volcanic Rage!"

A low howl erupted from Amy's red blade before Hien rose up from the bit-piece, his fur blazed brightly and then burst into a river of liquid lava, sending Dranzer flying back. However, her brothers' blade certainly proved itself a challenge as it didn't falter upon hitting the ground.

"So, little Amy's got herself a bit-beast," mused Kai, "you think that'll impress me?"

"I'm not here to impress you," Amy growled, "just to beat you."

"I'm sure," Kai mocked sarcastically, "Dranzer, Spiral Flame!" Fire swirled around Dranzers' blade; spinning and knocking Hien back towards Amy.

"Is that all you got?" Amy asked, "you've gotten weaker over the years, dearest brother." Hien stood proudly, hovering over the blade beside his blader. Amy glanced at her bit-beast, "I'll admit though, you're better than some opponents."

"This coming from someone who use to go into fits because of the stress of any real bey battles?" Kai smirked at his sister, "I'm growing bored of this, Dranzer, Flame Saber!!" Dranzer screeched, flapping his wings twice to get above Hien.

"Hien, Scarlet Fl-

A grey beyblade flew onto the field, sending Hien sprawling. The blade recovered quick enough, it was the blader that had trouble recovering from the attack.

"Kaylie, what are you-

"Fire colliding with fire? can I talk to you?" the younger girl asked.

Amy sighed deeply, "what'd I do this time?"

"I meant in private," Kaylie clarified.

"Kinda hard in the middle of a battle, just make it short," said Amy.

"Fire attacks colliding with one another causes the exact same thing as though they were combined, only on a lesser scale," explained Kaylie. She moved closer to Amy and whispered, "pull out, I know you get too involved and forget."

Amy sighed again, and then nodded. She whistled holding her hand out, "I forfiet... and before you say anything, it is not because I can't take you." Hien disappeared and the red blade sprang into Amys' hand.

"H-h-hey K-Kai! H-h-how a-are you?" Amy greeted, rushing up to her brother. It had been a month since their last battle., and she hadn't seen much of him. She had done her best t avoid those who picked on her, but some were unavoidable.

Kai glanced at her once, but didn't return her greeting.

"W-wh-where h-ha-have you b-been? I-I w-w-was l-l-looking f-f-forward t-t-t-to our n-next m-m-match." Amy beamed at her brother, pretending that the fresh bruise on her face was nothing.

"What makes you think I'd want to battle with you?" Kai growled.

Amy blinked at him, "K-Kai... a-are you o-okay? Wh-when I-I d-d-do s-see you... you j-just i-ignore m-m-me."

"Grow-up Amy," her brother hissed, "it's not my job to watch you every moment of every day. I need to work on my beyblading, so just... leave me alone."

Amy didn't, couldn't respond. Her brother was never like this... what had happened in that month?
