NOTE FROM THE LADY

So I was surprised that I got a few reviews and likes on the first chapter itself…. Thanks to all who reviewed, fave or follow my story. Yesterday I was in the mood and I drew my OC Ai on my DA account…. You can follow it on this link : art/Metal-Fight-Beyblade-OC-X-Ryuuga-377680712 I tried my best to follow the art style of the anime but hopefully it looks good.

I was planning to do this during the weekend but I realize that I should write it now while the story is fresh on my mind… also starting Monday I'm going to be busy with work projects and I need to focus on them. So hopefully you'll like this new chapter and I hope that I don't make Ryuuga OOC or Ai into a mary-sue.

Oh… just an additional note…. Instead of 13 I've made Ryuuga 14 here…. It's basically a one year difference.

I don't own Ryuuga and all the characters of MFBB

Ai is mine J

CHAPTER 02

UNUSUAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

"SOAR TOWARDS THE HEAVEN, MY ANGELUS!"

I watched as my bey, which I named 'Luminous Angelus', gliding gracefully and destroying each targeted mark in precise accuracy. After destroying its last mark, my Angelus spun around back towards me and I caught it easily.

"Whew... Nice going Angelus!" I said as I looked down at my bey happily. My Angelus glimmered as I knew it was filled with pride of its feat.

It has been 8 years since I was saved and taken in by Master Ryuuga. I discovered so many amazing things on the city itself. For someone like me, who has lived on the streets junk alley, simple things like a bed and toothbrush are truly wonderful to have. The place that I am in is called The Dark Nebula, an organization whose purpose was to create the strongest Beybladers… or so I was told.

"Very good my dear, you have managed to complete your task in a shorter time that yesterday."

Turning around I gave a small frown when I saw who it was. " Thank you, Sir Doji" I said in a low voice while giving him a meek bow. I never really liked Doji… and I have a feeling that he also feels the same way about me. I don't mean to sound like an ungrateful person, as it is Doji who made sure that I receive good education and stuff. He even had my bey fixed and modified so that I can be able to use it to train. However whenever I am around him I always have this uneasy dark feeling and I can see in his cold eyes that he would rather have me thrown back into the Junk Alley.

"Nevertheless Ai…" continued Doji, "you still need to improve more on your attacks and speed in using your bey. Don't forget, we will not tolerate with weaklings! So do not abuse our generosity."

I gritted my teeth while keeping my head low…. I really… really do not like this man! "Understood Sir" I said, trying my best to keep my voice from sounding sarcastic.

"So you've finally finished your training for today, Ai?" a gruff voice called out.

My heart lit up as I look and saw Master Ryuuga approaching us. 8 years has passed but he still looks the same to me…. Well except he is a bit taller than me, stronger than me, and has become ruggedly handsooooo-whoah! What was I thinking just now?!

" Yes Master Ryuuga," I said giving him a big smile. " My Angelus was able to hit all the marked targets with better accuracy and faster speed."

"Is that so?" Master Ryuuga said giving me a smirk. "Then once I've obtained the item, let's you and I have a serious bey battle together then!"

"That would be wonderful, Master Ryuuga. Thank you." I said cheerfully.

There a bit of a pause. I looked and saw that Master Ryuuga was just staring at me with a serious expression on his face.

"M- Master Ryuuga?" I softly asked. My voice seems to have broken off whatever trance he was in on when he blinked a bit and then slightly shook his head. "It's nothing," he mumbled.

A cough then made us turn to Doji, whom I almost forgot that he was even here.

"Master Ryuuga… Ai… I think you should both get some rest. We must leave early tomorrow." Doji said adjusting his glasses.

"Yes, sir." I said. Master Ryuuga gave a slight nod before we both headed out towards the hallway. Before I made a left turn, Master Ryuuga quickly grabbed my hand. I quickly turned to look at him.

"Y-yes, Master Ryuuga?"

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Umm… to my room…."

"Not tonight" He then started heading towards the opposite direction, pulling me along " we're going to my room!"

"B-but Doji said I didn't ne-" I started to say. Ryuuga stopped and looked at me sharply. "You don't take orders from anyone but me…. Remember that, Ai!" He growled before we continued towards his room.

When we were younger, Master Ryuuga and I sleep in his room. But when I turned 12, Doji insisted that I have my own room. Master Ryuuga was annoyed about it, but Doji insisted that it was only proper for a girl my age to be in my own room. Though there are still times when Master Ryuuga makes me sleep in his room. I can't help but feel like I have become Master Ryuuga's personal teddy bear. (Though imagining Master Ryuuga with a teddy bear would be hilarious ^v^)

But lately Master Ryuuga has been acting a bit…. odd. There are times he just stares at me and then he seems to be in deep thought as if he trying to understand something.

The moment we entered his room, he gently shoved me towards his bed. I sat at the edge of his bed and looked up at him. We both silently stared at each other until Master Ryuuga cleared his throat and looked to the side.

"Tell me, Ai…." He started, "do you believe that I am the strongest?"

I just stared at him… surprised at his question. " Umm… Why are you asking me that, Master Ryuuga?" I asked.

"JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!"

I jumped a bit when he raised his voice, he was looking straight at me. I blinked again before giving a small giggle. One of his eyebrows raised up as he looked a bit irritated now, waiting for me to answer.

"I'm sorry, Master Ryuuga." I said, smiling at him " I didn't understand why you would ask me something like that…." Then I pounded my fist on my open palm as I made a mock conclusion. "Unless… Oh Dear… Master Ryuuga is getting cold feet about tomorrow!"

"Ai…" Master Ryuuga growled as he moved closer to me. I raised both my hands up a bit as I laughed some more. "Kidding! Kidding, Master Ryuuga."

I reached out to caress Master Ryuuga's left cheek as I continued " You seem a bit stressed so I thought a little humor would help."

My hand went down to my lap as I looked at Master Ryuuga serenely, " Master Ryuuga, is the Strongest! Every battle that you face, you grow even more. That's how much I believe in you!"

"…."

"Well then…" I said preparing to move to the other side of the bed. "I guess we need to get some res-"

What happened next was unexpected. Master Ryuuga reached out and placed one hand one the back of my head and the other wrapped around my waist… and then he leaned forward and his lips met with mine.

My eyes widened while my heart started to pound non-stop. "MASTER RYUUGA IS KISSING ME!?" My mind screamed! Master Ryuuga then moved his lips away from mine about a few centimeters. Our eyes locked on to each other… It was a bit difficult but I muttered in almost a whisper his name. His lips were on mine again this time with more passion. While we were kissing, Master Ryuuga used his body to push me genly backwards until we were both lying on the bed with him on top of me. I don't know what to do… there was this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach… like butterflies fluttering wildly inside me. My eyes slowly closing as I was enjoying this strange new feeling.

Master Ryuuga's kiss started to grow a bit more aggressive, while his hands were caressing me…. Then one of his hands moved towards my breast, I quickly jolted and moved my mouth away from his. "M- Master Ryuuga?!" I whispered looking at him a bit surprised and scared.

He looked down on me, with an equally surprised look on his face, before it quickly changed into a small frown. He then slowly moved off me and then lied on one side of the bed, his back facing me. "Go to sleep, Ai." He mumble gruffly.

I slowly sat up while looking at him. My heart was still pounding and my cheeks were flushed, as I tried to comprehend about what transpired here. Slowly as I touched my lips… my first kiss… and it was with Master Ryuuga out of all people.

I have been with him for 8 years and yet I've never expected that he would do this…. Wasn't I just someone he wanted to keep as a pet? So why did he just kiss me? Is this another way for him not to get bored? I sighed… Then as I smiled for a bit my hand started to reach out to Master Ryuuga but then stopped. I then lay down and turned my head to gaze at him.

"Master Ryuuga," I thought "I know that I am nothing more than some amusement for you…. and someday you will be so powerful that I wouldn't be able to reach you…. But even so…. Being here by your side makes me truly happy… for to me, you are my one and only precious person in my life."

I closed my eyes happily as I allow sleep to take over me.

(RYUUGA'S POV)

My eyes opened and slowly turned to face the sleeping girl next to me. I mentally wanted to kick myself for what I just did.

I KISSED HER…. I JUST KISSED AI! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME!?

When I first met her she was just a scrawny little kid who I thought I could play around with, then throw out when I get bored of her…. But now…. Something is different…. Something I don't understand.

My hand reaches out and slowly combs long strands of her midnight blue hair…. I never realized how silky and soft her hair is… then I realized what I was just thinking and growled in irritation.

I SHOULDN'T BE EVEN ACTING LIKE THIS! I'M THE DRAGON EMPEROR RYUUGA! THE STRONGEST! SHE IS NOTHING, BUT A PET THAT I WILL GET RID OFF! SHE MEANS NOTHING…. NOTHING….

Ai stirred a bit, but she didn't wake up…. Instead she turned a bit and was now facing me. My eyes widened and my heart…. Why is it beating too fast!?

I then sighed, who was I kidding. Ai isn't nothing…not anymore….

At first I only see her as a pet, but now look at her…. Even in her sleep she looks beautiful like a sleeping angel. These past 8 yrs… things started to change in the way I look at her…. I begin to feel proud at the progress she made in her bey training, I feel happy when she smiles for me and only for me, anger if I see someone making her even cry…. I even begin to feel lonely if she is not there by my side.

Latley there is a strong possessive feeling I have over her…. It started a few weeks ago when I overheard a couple of those morons who work for the Dark Nebula talking about how they want to ask Ai out… they were lucky enough that I didn't kill them after I brutally dealt with them, neither Doji nor Ai knew the main reason for my actions. To tell you the truth, even I don't understand it before.

But today seeing Ai smile for me and believing in my strength…. I couldn't control myself. So I went and kissed her…. If she hadn't stopped me… who knows where that would lead to.

My hand reached out to caress her sleeping face…. I couldn't help but smile at this….

Ai… I think I understand now what it is that I feel about you….

I moved closer my lips near hers before I whispered,

"You are someone…. Who is Mine and mine alone!"

I then wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me… " and I'll obliterate anyone who takes you away from me" I murmured at her hair.

(NORMAL POV)

Ai woke up and noticed that Ryuuga is no longer there. Her hand wandered a bit at the spot where he lay…. There was a bit of warmth left. She closed her eyes as she reminisced the events that happened last night.

She then gave a smile before she headed straight to the bathroom to change.

When she went outside she saw a helicopter already started up, with Ryuuga and Doji waiting for her.

"Good Morning, Master Ryuuga!" Ai greeting a bit sheepishly, as memories of their kiss was still on her mind. "Morning…Ai" said Ryuuga, looking away. A faint blush can be seen on his face.

Ryuuga then cleared his throat and climbed inside the helicopter, with Ai following and last to come in was Doji.

"By the way, Sir Doji" said Ai as she looked at the view on the window "where exactly are we going again?"

"To Koma Village of course, my dear" said Doji adjusting his glasses.

Ryuuga gave a manical grin " that is where L- Drago is waiting for me!"
