So I had to search up on Wiki all the parts of a Bey and what the #!*% they do coz I was so confused on how to write Demure's thoughts without being OOC or sounding lame. It took SO LONG, I couldn't even believe how complicated Bey parts were... So, yeah, the descriptions in here are based off of real parts of other Beys. Enjoy~

Bones' Azrael quickly catches up to Demure's Scorpio, slamming into the back of it.

"Scorpio!" Demure calls as his Bey bounces back from the force. Azrael as a super high attack power… that I know. I just have to be cautious of its tip, I haven't seen a Bey that's used it before so I don't know what it'll do. Let's play it safe… "Run for it!"

"Can't escape!" Bones smirks. Azrael quickly catches up to Scorpio and launches a quick barrage attack.

"Ah!" What speed! Scorpio cuts through the center of the arena, escaping Azrael's attacks.

"C'mon. I haven't even used all of my strength yet!"

Okay, calm down. Azrael's spin track has fins that push air upwards to provide stability and stamina. Its fusion wheel has two large, jagged wings that stick out, dealing heavy attack power. The spiked energy ring is quite light and has a centered weight which provides a stable spin. But… I still don't get the full functions of its tip. Azrael still hasn't used it yet, unless all it does is provides high agility maneuvers.

Demure begins to read Bones' attacks, dodging many of them before delivering his own counter attacks.

"Pretty good, Demure. It looks like you're starting to read my moves." Bones drawls approvingly. "Don't think that's all I've got. Let's increase the rhythm!"

"Huh?"

Azrael spins towards the middle of the arena, spinning in place as Scorpio circles it warily.

"If you can predict which way my Bey will go, how about I attack you without moving! Here we go, Azrael! It's time to reap a soul!"

The familiar sound of clanking and rattling reach Nile's and Kyoya's ears. A Bey beast rises from Azrael with a white glow. It's in the shape of a skeleton carrying a scythe. It raises its bony arms as large, black wings sprout from its spinal cord.

"Ah! It's changing directions!" Demure shouts. Nile and Kyoya gasp as they realize that Bones' Bey is in fact periodically changing spin directions.

"What?!"

"How is that happening?!"

Demure eyes widen, "So that's the function of Azrael's tip! It's a flat tip with protrusions that stick straight out which allows it to change directions with ease!"

"That's right." Bones applauds. "Since the tip has the ability to move more freely, it changes directions first before the rest of the Bey does. That way, it doesn't tip over or lose speed. The rest of Azrael is tailored to attack from using both the right and the left spin, it's the most ideal type for this."

"So that's the clanking noise…" Kyoya mutters.

"It's the sound of Azrael changing directions!" Nile adds.

The skeletal angel spirit from Bones' Bey begins slashing, alternatively left and right, at Scorpio. The slashing blasts cause Scorpio to begin to wobble.

"Ah!" Demure cries. Azrael's fusion wheel is sending blasts of wind! Since the slice is in different directions each time, thanks to its ability to change directions, it's disrupting the balance of Scorpio! "Oh, no!"

"Time to finish this… Azrael! Take his soul to the heavens!"

Bones' Bey beast glides over to Scorpio's wavering form with a flap of its wings. It reaches down to grab the Bey, its ghostly fingers passing through it. As it pulls up, it brings along a wisp of a glowing green, scorpion-like spirit as well. It's Demure's Bey beast. With another flap of its dark wings, it soars up into the sky before exploding with a black cloud of feathers.

Demure gasps as Scorpio lands behind him with a clatter. It rolls around for a bit before coming to a stop. Azrael lands lightly back into the dome-like arena.

"Stadium out, looks like Bones wins." Nile announces, closing his eyes. Demure sighs disappointingly before picking up Scorpio. Bones snatches her Bey in the air before putting it away. She jumps onto Demure's back causing him to almost collapse on his face.

"That was a good battle. Thanks, Demure!" she laughs.

"Ahahahah… Unsurprisingly, you did win… Bones? Bones?"

Said girl had fallen asleep while still clinging to Demure's back. He sweatdrops as Nile and Kyoya walk up to the pair.

"Who knew we had such an interesting blader on our team?" Kyoya smirks. Nile pries Bones off of Demure, cradling her in his arms. She presses her face against his chest unconsciously causing Nile to smile faintly.

~("~) (~")~

"We're going to the beach, today?" Nile asks dubiously.

"Duh! Australia is known for their nice beaches." Bones throws back. She tosses him a pair of black swimming trunks and a t-shirt. "Hurry up and change. Kyoya already agreed to the plan."

"How did you get him to do that?" Demure rounds the corner, looking incredibly awkward without his normal attire. He now had on a pair of striped orange trunks with a casual shirt.

"Well… we're also going to be training on the beach as well…" Bones trails off. Nile rolls his eyes knowingly before closing the bathroom door for privacy.

"I see." Demure nods. He is suddenly whacked in the head with a beach towel. He stumbles backwards, "Eh?"

"Hurry and pack your own stuff. You too, Nile." she shouts to the Egyptian blader.

"What?" said blader steps out of the bathroom wearing his new clothes. He is greeted with a towel to the face, much like Demure.

"Let's go, Kyoya's waiting." Bonesp shifts her headphones and adjusts her cloak before leading the way outside.

"Took you long enough…" Kyoya mumbles, uncrossing his arms. Bones blames the other two for their slowness. The four of them hop onto a bus that whisks them away to the beach.

"What should we do first?" Demure asks. They had just finished setting up a large umbrella as well as laying down their towels on the smoldering sand. Kyoya had picked out a rather reclusive place, away from the other beach goers. That way they could train without being bothered by anyone else.

"Hm… Let's get in." Kyoya replies shortly before pulling off his shirt, revealing a well tones torso. He grins wolfishly before jumping into the water with a huge splash. Demure follows hesitantly, shivering slightly as he slips into the cool water. Bones smirks and slips off her cloak.

Nile couldn't take his eyes off of Bones in her revealing two piece bathing suit. It's a wine red color with black lace that accentuates her subtle curves delicately. The wind picks up, swirling her pale blonde hair.

She turns around partly to glance at Nile. "Well, aren't you coming?"

Nile blinks and snaps himself out of his reverie and yanks off his shirt. He could've sworn he saw Bones' cheeks darken but she had already leaped into the water before he could check. Bones splashes Demure and Kyoya with water playfully. The Japanese blader glares before retaliating while the other flounders in the water ungracefully, choking on sea water. Nile chuckles before jumping in as well and joining in the competitive splashing war.

Bones growls as she is hit with a particularly large wave. "Oh, it's on."

~("~) (~")~

"Hey, Kyoya…"

"Hn?"

"I'm surprised you like to swim. I thought cats were afraid of water." Someone snickers.

"… You have three seconds before I kill you."

"What? It was an honest question…!"

"3…"

"C'mon, can't we talk about this like rational people do- over a cup of tea?"

"… 2…"

"Alright… it looks like I'll have to move my legs again. But… that would be so trouble-"

"1…!"

"Yeah, I think I'll be moving now."

Kyoya chases after a fleeing Bones as they run across the dunes in some twisted game of tag. The thoroughly annoyed green-haired blader shouted threats that lingered harmlessly in the air.

"Don't be mad, Kyoya!" Bones calls behind her. "I'm sure there is some kind of feline that likes water. You aren't that much of a freak." This does nothing to quell the rage inside the Japanese blader, in fact it seemed to do the exact opposite.

Nile and Demure cough uncontrollably as they laugh at the hilarious scene before them.

~("~) (~")~

"Hey, what's that on the ground?" Demure stares at something on the ground. It's a small, square piece of paper.

"Hm?" Nile looks over from his conversation with Bones.

"What is it?" Bones crawls over Nile's legs and leans toward the paper. Demure reaches down to pick it up. Just as his fingers brush the corner, Kyoya quickly snatches it up and stuffs it in his pocket.

"Eh? What is it, Kyoya?" Nile looks over Bones' back at the Japanese blader.

"Nothing." Kyoya replies sharply. The other three exchange dubious glances, their curiosity piqued.

Demure brings his hand up to his face and whispers to Nile and Bones. "I saw a bit of what's on the other side... It's a photo of someone." Bones' eyes widen as if she heard Kyoya's deepest, darkest secret.

"No way! Is it a girl?!" she demands, not bothering to keep her voice down. Kyoya snarls.

"None of your business!"

~("~) (~")~

"Run! We're going to be late!" Bones yells, racing down the pristine while walls of the airport. She swerves to dodge the milling people. Kyoya and Nile curse under their breath before picking up speed, Demure not far behind.

"It's your fault! It took us two hours to wake you up!" Kyoya retorts hotly, hopping over a stack of luggage.

"S-Slow down!" Demure calls, his heavy backpack weighing him down. Bones looks up at the board, tracking their flight boarding gate.

"Shortcut time! Azrael!" She launches her Bey at a warning sign that's barring the way, blasting it to the side.

"What are you doing?" Nile shouts, skidding to halt next to his eccentric teammate.

"If we cut through here, it'll go faster!" Bones insists, motioning with her hands.

"But, it's a construction site!"

Kyoya zooms past them, a duffle bag slung over his shoulder. "Let's just go!" Nile sighs but follows with Bones by his side.

"Oh, c'mon!" Demure wails.

~("~) (~")~

"Here!" Bones slams down four plane tickets in front of the flight assistant, just a few minutes before the gates could close. The four of them stand panting in front of a shell shocked female attendant.

"Hurry up and scan them…!" Kyoya growls. The girl stutters and quickly scans their tickets.

Demure stands to one side, hunched over tiredly. "Never again…"

"Told you it was a shortcut!" Bones pokes Nile on the shoulder playfully. He grins and pushes her lightly.

"Yeah, and we almost got run over by a bulldozer in process!"

"Did you see those workers' faces? Priceless!"

The four of them share a group laugh before boarding the plane.

"I call window seat!" Bones announces before diving onto the chair. Niles rolls his eyes good-naturedly and slides in beside her. The four of them take up a whole row in the spacious plane.

"All that running made me hungry." Kyoya comments out of the blue. Demore and Nile nod in agreement, ready to call over one of the flight attendances.

"I've got plenty of food!" Bones smirks. She pulls bag after bag of snacks from her cloak.

"H-How'd you get all of that?!" Demure inquires, jaw hanging open.

Kyoya narrows his eyes, "Bones…"

"What?" she asks too innocently. She widens her eyes in a child-like way. Kyoya scoffs, unamused.

"Where'd you get all of this, anyways?" Nile asks, picking up one of the bags.

"Ehm… found it on the floor…?" she says more as a question than as a statement. Nile sighs, albeit amusedly, at Bone's inability to tell a believable lie.

"How did you get all of these while we were running?" Demure asks, snatching a box for himself. They all knew that Bones had stolen the merchandise.

"Skills you wish you had." Bones replies proudly. Kyoya shakes his head before giving in and grabbing a bag as well.

~("~) (~")~

Nile jolts in his seat as something presses against his shoulder. Bones' head falls on Nile as she slips into slumber, snoring lightly. Kyoya shoots him a knowing look, causing the Egyptian blader to flush and turn away.

~("~) (~")~

Abunai: I have nothing to say...

Kyoya: Finally, some peace and quiet.

Abunai: Just because you said that, I'm going to sing. *takes in a deep breath*

Everyone: NO!

Abunai: THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO 'ROUND AND 'ROUND! 'ROUND AND 'ROUND! THE WHEELS ON THE BUS-

*Everyone falls over with foam coming out of their mouth. Their eyes chibi-fy and become large white circles*

*Masamune pops in and joins the singing*

Abunai: What the #!*% are you doing here?! Get out! *throws a large block of cheese at him*

*Masmune exits, his face has a large red print in the shape of the projectile*
