Kai Hiwatari and Sasuke Uchiha's lives clash violently over one simple enigma:

WAREHOUSE DRAMA: Beware the Demon Laptops!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-


"Ok! Here we are!" Kenny strode into the enormous warehouse, heading straight toward a bare, decrepit looking wooden table onto which he placed Dizzy, immediately pulling the screen of the laptop up.

"Whew! Finally!" The digital voice sighed. "That took way too long; I was starting to get cramps!"

"Dizzy, you weren't even walking." Kenny commented dryly.

"Yeah, but you're hands are hard! You should try some Vaseline, Chief! It'll make your skin nice and supple!"

"Yeah, 'cause I'm worth it' right?"

This comment earned the bespectacled boy a snort from Hilary.

Naruto and Sakura entered the building, taking in their surroundings. The warehouse was huge and dark, with a dirt floor and worn, red-brick walls leading high up to a steepled, wooden ceiling and rusty metal crossbars. The only light trickled in from a row of shuttered windows near the ceiling; heavy wood crates and broken down machinery were strewn haphazardly across the room, caused the light to stutter and fail around them. A particularly large, vicious looking circular saw—metallic teeth glistening dully in the light—cast a long, eerie shadow across one wall.

The warehouse had two floors, the second being a mere strip of metal twelve feet up, circumvented by a thin, flimsy looking, metal rail and connected to the ground by an even flimsier wooden ladder.

"This will do." Kakashi sent an appraising look over the room. "Sasuke, watch the ceiling."

The dark haired boy's eyes flicked up to the shabby wood panelling then back down. He crossed his arms. "Hn."

Tyson bounded over to a far corner of the warehouse, where the shadows were thickest. He gestured everyone over wildly before reaching blindly into the dark. For a second, Tyson fiddled with something on the wall, his tongue stuck between his teeth in concentration. Then, the navy-haired boy's eyes lit up and he grinned. There came a loud clicking sound, the hum of a generator starting up and light flooded through the corner.

Team 7 blinked in the sudden brightness then looked up curiously at the sight before them.

Previously hidden by the darkness, now illuminated, was a second room. The room, while not exceptionally large, was expansively lit on the sides by bright, blue-white fluorescent lights. In the center of the room was a huge, raised metal platform in the shape of a rectangle. Directly in the center of the platform was a circular valley, sloping so deeply Rei could have stood in the lowest part and only his nose and eyes would've been seen over the top. The diameter too was substantial; three people standing in a line at arm's length from each other would not have been able to touch the rim of the bowl.

Higher up, circling the wall, the thin metal grating of the second floor looked even more feeble when its black, twisted frame was compared against the gleaming metal of the platform.

Compared to the rest of the warehouse, this room looked utterly new and polished.

There was a loud cawing sound and a rustle of feathers. At the very peak of the ceiling, hidden amongst the rafters was a large crow. It cawed again and flapped its wings, disturbed by the sudden light in the room.

"Hey Kai!" Tyson leapt up onto the square platform, his shoes made a crisp, metallic 'tick tack' sound as he turned in a full circle and craned his neck to stare up at the second floor. "You remember this place? I sure do; what about you Kenny?"

"…Eh…aa…" Kenny sent a nervous glance at Kai. The older boy looked vaguely in the Kenny's direction, then away; this apparent disinterest gave Kenny the courage to continue. "Yeah… yeah, I remember it, Tyson."

"It's been a while—practically three years. Hey, Maxie, Rei! Remember I told you 'bout the first time me 'n Kai fought?" He received a nod of understanding from Max and a raised eyebrow from Rei. Kakashi showed no response, but Sasuke's ears almost visibly perked up at the word 'fought'. Hilary too, was listening closely, not having heard this story before.

Tyson continued "Yeah, this was the place." He turned to Sakura and Naruto, who were looking at him in confusion. "I tell ya, it was a lot more creepier in this place with old sourpuss over there skulking in the shadows." The teen laughed, jerking a thumb in Kai's direction.

"Whaddya mean?" Naruto asked.

"Well, we came here looking for Kenny… when…he—" Tyson faltered as he belatedly realized the rather piercing stare Kai was giving him. Kakashi mentally noted the exchange, no longer wasting the energy to by irritated at the secrets the Bladebreakers were keeping. "Right…" Tyson eyed Kai, "Well, anyway, when I came here, Kai was standing up on the railing." Tyson pointed up at the second floor, Naruto and Sakura's eyes trailed upward to gauge its distance from the floor. "Then he did this sick jump, flipped right over in midair" Tyson traced the pattern in the air. "And landed on the ground right in front of me! It was killer, I tell ya'! Never seen anything like it; you're such a show-off, Kai." Tyson smirked at Kai, who returned the look with an even stare.

Hilary's eyes widened as she imagined the jump.

"Really?" Sakura said, sounding amazed. "You did that?" She looked over at Kai. "That's pretty impressive; the drop must be over two stories!" Sakura suddenly found herself caught in an intense gaze of red and her breath stopped. Moments dragged by and her thoughts were completely scattered until Kai looked away. She had to stop herself from gaping; he was still halfway across the room from her, how on earth had he managed to capture her attention so completely, from so far away, with just his eyes?

"I don't get it." Naruto squinted at the ledge. "What's so great about that? I make jumps like that all the time. I could jump up that. It ain't no big deal." He looked honestly surprised by the shocked looks Hilary, Kenny and Max sent him, and Tyson's incredulous one.

"Yeah right, there's no way you could make a jump like that." Tyson scoffed.

"Oh yeah?" Naruto challenged. "Watch me!"

And Naruto crouched down into a squat. With a short shout, he leaped sharply into the air. It was a distinctly graceless movement, but it got the job done and Naruto soared high up into the air amongst loud gasps from his audience. His hand caught the thin railing and he spun his body around it, doing a short handstand before bringing his feet down flat onto the rod. He stood up tall and gave an exaggerated bow to the people below.

"Thank you, thank you." Naruto yelled down the others, a wide grin on his face. "See nothing to it!" And he jumped up and down a few times on the railing. Tyson, Max, Hilary and Kenny all stared at his faraway figure with mute awe, their jaws hanging open.

"Uh, Naruto!" Sakura called up to the blond. "I don't think you should be doing that." She sent a worried look to Kakashi, but her teacher was busy idly flipping a page of his book. Then she looked to Sasuke, knowing he wouldn't help, but being unable to stop herself from hoping he would. Sasuke's slumped posture clearly conveyed his indifference and Sakura sighed, she was on her own.

"What?" Naruto shouted back. "I can't hear you!"

"NA-RU-TO! Get down here!" Sakura threw her head back and yelled, clenching her fists.

"Aww… why?" Naruto whined, now getting cocky: skipping over the railing on one foot and swinging his arms back and forth. "I'm perfectly fine, see Sakur—AAAAH!"

Just then, a section of the rusted, weak railing gave under Naruto's weight and broke completely free. Hilary gave a piercing shriek as Naruto fell forward, plummeting through the air. Tyson and Max darted forward but in a split-second Rei had reached out, gabbing their arms tightly and yanked them back. They looked at the older boy in disbelief, shocked at his completely calm expression.

"REI! LET GO! WE GOTTA CATCH HIM! REI!" Tyson yelled, struggling.

"Stop it Tyson! If they aren't making a fuss, neither will we." Rei hissed back, strengthening his hold.

And Tyson, even in his state of alarm, noticed then that Rei was right; neither Kakashi nor Sakura looked at all upset that their friend was falling off a potentially lethal height. As for Sasuke… he wasn't even paying attention, finding the wooden panels of a nearby crate more interesting than the danger his team mate was in. Tyson was appalled, his mouth hung open.

"Why…?" Max murmured with wide, frightened eyes.

Hilary and Kenny watched the scene, frozen in shock and fear.

Naruto hit the ground in a resounding thump and a cloud of dirt and pebbles rose around him. Tyson wrenched his arm free from Rei's hold and ran to Naruto's fallen figure. Max gave Rei an imploring look and the older teen reluctantly let him go with a sigh. Max immediately followed after Tyson.

"NARUTO! NARUTO! Are you okay?" Tyson yelled anxiously as the dirt cloud lifted. A pained groan reached his ears.

"Yeah… yeah…" Naruto's figure cam into view, he was lying flat on the ground, looking vaguely dizzy and dusty but otherwise fine. "I'm alright; just need a moment to get up."

Max, Hilary and Kenny gaped.

Tyson was stupefied. "How… How did you…?"

Max's expression was equally flummoxed. "That's not possible…"

"It was his chakra." A voice from behind the boys answered, and they turned to look at Sakura.

"What do you mean?" Max asked.

"Well, chakra has a way of allowing us to jump incredible, heights, stick to things, take hard hits and survive incredible falls…should a certain, bigheaded, imbecile decide to get cocky." She said the last part with an admonishing look at the still stunned Naruto.

"So Naruto used his chakra-thingy to jump up there?" Hilary interjected, cautiously taking a few steps closer. She eyed Naruto in concern, but couldn't keep the intrigued tone out of her voice. Sakura nodded, sending Hilary an amused looked at her usage of 'chakra-thingy'.

"It's also that which makes what Kai did so impressive." Sakura added, with a glance in the youth's direction, this time making sure to avoid looking in his eyes. She needn't have bothered though, Kai had receded back into the shadows of the room; his attention appeared to be elsewhere.

"…Why…?" Tyson still wasn't following.

"Well, you see, Tyson." Now Kenny was in on the conversation, pushing up his glasses and gearing up for an explanation. "Naruto focused his chakra around his legs and feet to bolster his own physical strength, doubling, or even tripling it. That's what made him jump so high. Jumping down is the same thing; but instead, the chakra would be used to absorb the energy from hitting the ground instead of releasing energy. See, when Kai did that jump, he did it without the use of chakra… Much like the way Rei normally jumps, which is why it's impressive. Naruto would have never been able to do such a jump had he not used his chakra."

"I see…" Tyson blinked, absorbing the information.

"Oh, so Rei can jump like that too?" Sakura set the Chinese boy an interested look, one that he returned coolly. "I wonder why…?" The last part was said quietly to herself.

"You know, it's kinda amazing how you can explain all that so well when just a few hours ago you didn't know what this chakra thing was either." Hilary stared at Kenny.

Kenny shrugged, though his cheeks pinked with pleasure. "Heh, what can I say…"

"I say it's kinda creepy." Tyson teased and got his desired reaction when Kenny rounded on him with an indignant 'Hey!'

"So… Naruto's ok?" Max directed his question to Sakura, sending Naruto—who was gradually detaching himself from the ground—a worried glance.

"Fit as a fiddle… At least he is right now… He won't be when I'm through with him." Sakura stomped off toward Naruto

"Naruto, how do you feel?" The pink-haired girl asked sweetly. Hilary, who was watching the interaction between the two ninja, cringed. She knew that tone, having used it herself only too often on Tyson. She had a foreboding feeling about what was going to follow.

Naruto, who had by now managed to stand up without wobbling, rubbed his head. "Auhgh… not bad, got a little cramp in the neck, but it's all ok."

"Good. Then I won't feel bad about doing this."

And she punched him.

"AHHH!"

Tyson, Max and Kenny collectively winced with pity as the blond haired boy was now back on the ground nursing a bruised cheek. Even Rei looked sympathetic.

Hilary shook her head, but had to raise one hand to her mouth and turn her head away to hide her smirk. She saw Kakashi look up from his book, appraise the situation, then look back down and turn a page. Raising an eyebrow at the elder ninja, she shook her head again and sought out first Kai, then Sasuke in the room.

She blinked, then looked between them again.

Sasuke and Kai both had their eyes closed and had adopted eerily similar expressions of consternation as they leaned on their respective supports: Kai against the wall and Sasuke against a wooden crate. Hilary watched them for a moment longer and her second eyebrow rose to match the first. Rei caught her eye and made a gesture with his chin, silently asking her what was wrong. Hilary tilted her head at Kai, then eyed Sasuke. Rei, catching her drift, turned his gaze on the two.

A moment passed, then another, and the corner of Rei's mouth suddenly quirked down in a dry smirk. Hilary was sure that he snorted before turning back to Sakura and Naruto's conversation.

"OWIE!!! Maa, Sakura-chaan, whaddaya do that for?!" Naruto whined, putting a hand to his tender cheek, which was doing a good imitation of a ripe tomato.

"Don't you EVER do something that stupid again. You hear me?!" Sakura yelled shaking one finger right under Naruto's nose. His eyes crossed as he tried to follow the finger with his eyes and the blond ninja groaned as the effort made his head throb.

"Ya, ya, Sakura-chan. I promise." Naruto gave what he hoped was an apologetic grin as he looked up at Sakura towering over him.

"Good. Because next time I won't be so lenient." She warned, completely unaffected by his lopsided grin.

"That was lenient?!" Naruto muttered under his breath, moved his jaw back and forth and massaging it. Tyson and Kenny laughed. And Max opened his mouth to say something.

"…Can we just get on with this?"

Very surprisingly, this comment came from Kai. And everyone quietened down to look at him, shocked. Kai stood in the shadows near the entrance to the stadium, his arms crossed over his chest—the metal accents on his biker jacket flickering in the feeble light— as he regarded the group with an air of distinct condescension.

"Ah, ah, Kai, what's the matter, you got someplace to be?" Tyson grinned cheekily. " 'Cause, you know, after this we're all just gonna go back to my dojo tonight anyway."

"Seeing as your obnoxious snoring will keep everyone sleep deprived, we should take advantage of the time we have—"

"Hey!"

"Rei, take the guide position behind Tyson."

"You want them to have guides in this match?" Rei questioned, but Kai ignored him.

"I will stand behind Max. Kenny, focus your analysis on their spin and pattern of motion; I've noticed some consistencies in Tyson's movements and Max's spin gear was retarded during practice." Kai's voice was neither indulgent nor cutting; rather, he spoke with the apathetic, clinical air of a teacher meticulously explaining a simple question to a particularly slow student.

Nonetheless, Kenny nodded without question and placed Dizzy on a table, setting up her camera accordingly.

"Hilary, I want you to watch Tyson and Max's stances. Tell me if you notice any flaws." Kai, as he walked past her toward the Beydish, sent Hilary the briefest flickering of his gaze. His pace didn't slow though and he had his back to her even before he'd finished speaking.

Hilary nodded; then, realizing Kai couldn't see her, answered with a verbal "Got it."

Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke all watched, in silent fascination, the complete change that underwent the Bladebreakers. Kai, suddenly much more communicative, was a sharp, precise and efficient leader. And his team followed his orders to a T; the once chaotic, unfocussed team was now coordinated and centred.

"Hey Kai, why aren't you gonna be my guide?" Tyson questioned as the team walked toward the large bowl in the room.

"You said you were not pigheaded, Tyson. Prove it." Was all Kai said by way of answer.

Nearby, Naruto and Sakura huddled. "Wow, big change huh, Sakura-chan?" Naruto muttered under his breath, putting a hand over his mouth in a conspiratorial manner.

"Yeah, honestly, I was wondering how he could possibly lead his team; he never spoke much before…" Sakura was staring at the team's movements, amazed.

"Oh, this is Kai in 'Captain mode'." Hilary, who had been standing next to Team 7, suddenly spoke up.

"Meaning?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"Well, usually Kai has nothing to do with us. He acts all cold and anti-social—barely ever strings two words together to make a sentence. But when he gets into his 'Captain mode', he's all of a sudden barking out orders and telling everyone what to do. It's very hard to get used to at first." Here Hilary laughed. "It took Tyson the longest to adapt; he couldn't stand Kai being so bossy, especially when he's usually so quiet. But after a while, we began to understand that that's just how Kai is. It's kinda the way he shows he cares…"

"That doesn't make any sense." Naruto scrunched up his face.

"Well…" Hilary put a finger to her lips. "It's like… he shows us he cares by spending the time to train us. We know he cares because he's bothering to work with us. Does that make more sense?"

"…" Naruto was still thinking.

"Wait…" Sakura looked up. "Then what you're implying is that… if Kai didn't care then he would just… what? Leave?"

This comment seemed to make Hilary uncomfortable and she looked away, fidgeting with the flared edge of her mini-skirt.

"No, I don't think he'd leave." Hilary said quietly, but Kakashi's eyes narrowed. He detected the lie in Hilary's voice. Hilary, seeing Kakashi's close stare, laughed nervously. "…Ano… hah ha, anyway, why don't you all come with me up to the viewing decks? We'll be able to see better there." She pointed up to a railed-off metal platform slightly above Tyson and Max. It stood exactly between the two boys, with perfect visibility into the metal bowl. It was reinforced with large rivets and support beams, appearing much more stable than the railing Naruto had just fallen off. "Are you coming, Kenny?"

Kenny, who'd just finished getting his sensors and cameras into perfect position, looked up as his name was called. "Huh?" Hilary repeated the question and Kenny wrinkled his nose in annoyance. "Move? Now?" He looked at all his hard word. "But I'm all settled…"

"Oh c'mon Chief! I can't see anything from here; bend a little." Dizzy piped up.

Kenny relented, unsnapping the camera and winding up some nearby wires. "Oh, Alright." He sighed.

"You know," Sakura said; she and Naruto were staring at Dizzy in fascination. "I still can't believe that laptop has a mind of its own… How does it work?"

"Is…" Naruto hesitated and glanced down. Gently, in an almost unconscious gesture, he placed a hand on the area of his bright orange jumper that rested right above his stomach. Snapping out of his thoughts, Naruto shook his head once, dropped his hand and continued. "Is there… a demon sealed in that laptop?"

Hilary and Kenny stared at Naruto for a second before bursting into laughter. Naruto flushed red, somewhat offended. After a few moments, Hilary sobered enough to see the fairly serious looks on Sakura and Naruto's faces, her laughing faltered.

"Oh… you were… serious?" She asked, her expression one of disbelief. Kenny, realizing Hilary's words, managed to quell his laughter then.

"Yes, of course." Sakura said, matter-of-factly. "Demons exist. Didn't you know that?"

"I… I…" Hilary had no idea what to say to that.

"You must be joking. Demons are a physical impossibility. They cannot exist." Kenny stated logically.

"Ancient chakra has the ability to form semi-sentiment manifestations." Sakura said, raising her head and speaking with a didactic tone that suggested she was quoting from some text. "A Demon is such a manifestation. A malevolent one."

"… Yeah." Naruto once again had his hand on his stomach. Kakashi watched him in silence.

"…Oh…" Hilary was still trying to wrap her mind around that concept. "I… see…" She didn't really, but she figured Kenny would probably research the topic. Then she could get a more in-depth explanation from him later. "Well, Dizzy isn't a Demon."

"No? Then what is it?" Sakura cocked her head at the laptop in Kenny's hands.

"She." Kenny corrected.

Sakura nodded, acknowledging the pronoun. "She."

"I'm a Bitbeast, thank you very much!" Dizzy's voice answered tartly.

"A… Bit-beast?" Naruto looked quizzical. "What's that? A mini-beast? A bit of a beast? How's that possible?" Naruto looked more quizzical with every possibility he added.

Hilary and Kenny stifled their laughter behind their fists.

"It's—" Kenny made to explain, but Hilary held up a hand, smiling.

"No, don't tell them." She said, grin widening. "They'll find out soon enough." There was something sly about her grin that made Sakura and Naruto nervous.

Hilary led the way up to the viewing deck, followed closely by Naruto and Sakura, now more excited than ever about this 'Beyblade' thing. Kenny followed, computer wires looped around his short arms, talking to Dizzy about some abstract concept; and Kakashi followed behind them, his nose still deep in his 'Come Come Paradise' book.

There was only person who hadn't spoken once since they'd entered the warehouse. Sasuke Uchiha treaded slowly behind Kakashi. His ears had caught the entire conversation, but had filed it away in an idle fashion, to be considered more closely at a later time. His full attention was on the four figures moving about on the metal bowl above him. Sasuke tracked their movements with his eyes, never letting his gaze waver.

And as he watched them, something stirred within his dark eyes: a deep red mist curled at the edges of his irises, slowly bleeding inward toward the pupils. Then Sasuke blinked, breaking his eye contact; and when his eyes opened they were black once more. The Uchiha turned—moving his head first, then following with his body—stuffed his hands deep in his pockets, slouched, and continued walking as though nothing had happened.

Mmhmm… well, I never actually SAID the fight would be in this chapter, did I? XD Nevertheless, it WILL be in the next chapter. And also some interesting and important points were made in this chapter so I hope you all enjoyed!

-: Ah, well! You ask such a complicated question! ;p Ok… how to explain this? Basically, it's a matter of perspective. Kai's eyes appear brownish-red in the first season, but fansites (official and unofficial) say they're red (plus there are a couple of pictures of Kai with red eyes). For myself, I read on the internet about Kai having red eyes in the first season before actually going and meticulously picking out his eye colour in the show. By that time it was too late, I'd already formed my opinion in concrete (XD). So, for me, Kai will always have red eyes (shrugs). Whether you agree or not is up to you…but, well, the red eyes are kinda important to this plot… hehe.

Saki: Hee hee! Looks like you'll have to wait just a little bit longer for the fights! Eep! (hides behind computer) XD But yes, it WILL be in the next chapter, promise! And yeah, Kai has been pretty aloof hasn't he? Actually, I'm finding it quite fun to write him like this… we can only wonder what's going on in that head of his! (Evil chuckle) Basically, I'd envisioned Kai as a mystery; and as the characters learn more about him, we will as well. :p I hope that makes some sense; and that I'm not just slipping into some mad author ramble XD

fallen phoenix: Hello! Yay! I'm so glad you like this story! :D I know the updates don't come very often, but in between midterms, life and various other annoying time consuming activities, this is the best I can do for now (sheepish grin). I will try not to let more than a month pass in between updates. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
