I expect it to be at least twenty chapters long]. Don't worry about long waits anymore though, because now I'm out of school [ ?o?

I can't believe it. Ten chapters... I'm so proud of myself. Anyways, on with the story!

Beyblade: BvG Tournament; Chapter Ten: Preparation

Wyatt walked out of the school building, looking at the dark, deep-blue blade that Kai had given him, wondering how it would perform with Drazzler's bit in it. Wyatt had looked for Kai in the early morning, but like always, Kai disappeared on the weekends. Wyatt held the blade, as he thought, (I really need to get more training in)

In the Greenhouse

A plain green blade spun in the disk, alongside a white one, the green one churning around the disk with amazing speed.

"Mitsu, try to keep up," said Natsuko, seeing that the white blade, Dabbler was laging behind in its turns around the disk. "You need to improve your speed and agility by controling your emotions and senses."

"I'm trying!," said Mitsu, concentrating on Dabbler, "But you're going so fast!"

For very turn around the disk Dabbler was making, Natsuko's blade was making up to three turns and was just a blur.

"I don't think Dabbler is cut up for that speed," said Mitsu frustrated, "She hops and that slows her down."

"Nonsense," said Natsuko, "I can use the same speed I'm doing right now on Dabbler. I've done it many times before." She sighed, releasing the force on her blade allowing it to slow down and stop in the disk, "I guess you're not ready for this type of training yet."

Mitsu looked downcast, "I feel like you're at a level so much higher than me."

"No," said Natsuko, "I just have more experience, that's all. I been beyblading since I was young, and although I barely blade anymore, my abilities are still keen. It's easy for me, because I trained so much as a child which allowed me to improve a lot. You, Mitsu are very good. You've mastered a lot of my techniques I taught you with Dabber, and they're hard techniques that few people can do."

Mitsu ligthened up, "Really?," she asked.

"Yes," said Natsuko softly, picking up her blade and left the side of the disk, to look at a growing plant, and tended it. "Right now you seem to be in the seedling stage," she commented as she shoveled some nutrients into the dirt.

Mitsu blinked, "What?"

"You see, the seedling is now growing, deciding where to sink its roots. It is uncertain of it's path, yet it still goes on. Right now it's roots are not in deep enough for it has not matured. But soon it will... and when it does it will blossom to became a beautiful plant, bearing fruits or flowers," said Natsuko, "Mitsu....., I know that you will show your spirit and potential when the time is right. I believe that strongly."

"Thank you Lady Tennyo..," said Mitsu a little confused at Natsuko's anlogy, but happy that that Natsuko believed in her.

Natsuko emotions inside of her flinched, but she keep her cool exterior, "Mitsu... how many times must I tell you to not call me that?," she asked, a little displeased with her friend.

"Huh?," said Mitsu, thinking. "Well...., the other girls always seem to get jealous or mad at me when I call you by your first name," explained Mitsu, "Plus, I'm used to calling you that. The title fits you."

Natsuko striagthened up from tending the plant, "I still don't like it.. and who cares if the others girls are jealous? You are my friend, and it's none of their business if you use my real name, instead of such a ridiculous title. So, please Mitsu, treat me as a normal friend would."

"Oh.. okay..Natsuko," said Mitsu even though she felt weird calling her by her first name, since everyone else call Natsuko, Lady Tennyo.

Natsuko smiled one of her rare smiles, "Thank you... now let's continue with your practice, shall we?" She wiped the dirt of her hands with a towel nearby, and was about to walk back to the disk when she heard the greenhouse door opening. She looked quickly to see who it was, "Oh... Good moring Wyatt," greeted Natsuko.

"Morning," replied Wyatt looking a little tired, "Is Mitsu here?"

"Yes," said Natsuko, directing where Mitsu was with her fingertips.

"Thanks," said Wyatt, walking to the disk.

Mitsu spotted Wyatt, "Oh, hey, hello Wyatt," she greeted, her cheeks turning a slight shade of red.

"Hey," said Wyatt, his face turning a little red as well.

They smiled at each other, kinda of in their own little world.

Natsuko looked back and forth from Mitsu to Wyatt, (Am I missing something?), she thought a little confused inside, (the atmosphere between these two is strange..). She shook it off though as she put the green blade away in her bag then turned back to the disk. "Wyatt why don't you join Mitsu in preparing for the tournament? You two are almost at the same level, and it would help improve both of you if you did practice battles with each other," suggested Natsuko.

Wyatt glanced over at Mitsu, "Sure... is that okay with you Mitsu?"

"Of course!," answered Mitsu quickly.

Wyatt turned back to Natsuko, "But.. there is a problem. I can't control Drazzler that well yet, and he won't listen to most of my commands," he explained, a little embarrassed.

"Let's just see what's wrong," replied Natsuko, "I can't tell you what to improve, if I cannot see you battle.""

Wyatt nodded and moved to the other side of the disk opposite of Mitsu, and readied his newly aqquired dark-blue blade with Drazzler's bit chip, and set it onto his launcher. Seeing that Mitsu was ready, Wyatt began the countdown, "Three... Two... One..., let it rip!!," releasing his blade along with Mitsu's.

Drazzler shot into the disk with fercious speed, stamming into Dabbler who held back the blow, but barely. Clashing, the blades then broke apart, circling each other.

Wyatt then noticed something different about Drazzler's motion. "He's not spinning violenty and out of control anymore," said Wyatt surprised, "Why?"

"I see you have recieved a blade fitting fo him," commented Natsuko, "That blade can contain Drazzler's strength a lot better than the last blade you had before."

"Really?!," asked Wyatt while thinking, (So the blade that Kai gave me helps out a lot? Is this why he had it on hand to give to me? Because he knew that my blade wasn't good enough?) Wyatt appreciated Kai's gift even more now.

"There's also the fact that your spirit has become stronger...," added Natsuko, "Hmm... You've advanced, just like Mitsu. It's weird how you've improved at the same rate. Did something happen while I was away?"

(Rika..), thought Wyatt, (Should I tell Natsuko?) He looked over at Mitsu who was shaking her head no slightly. "Um... nothing in particular...," he replied, "but anyways, does this mean that I can summon him now?"

Natsuko saw the exchange, and looked at Wyatt, sensing a lie in his statement, but let it go. (If he and Mitsu don't want to tell me, then I shouldn't pry,) she thought talking to Wyatt, "Try calling him out," she urged.

"Okay," said Wyatt with a nod, "Drazzler!," yelled Wyatt to the spinning blade, "Emerge!" The blade just spun around in the disk, showing no reaction to Wyatt's command. "Drazzler, emerge!," yelled Wyatt again. Still nothing happened. Wyatt shouted the command again for about three time more, before Natsuko stopped him

"That's enough for now," siad Natsuko softly.

"Why?," asked Wyatt frusrated, why can't I call him out?!"

"Be patient," answered Natsuko, "Drazzler will come out at the time needed and that is when your emotions are at the top level, and also when he accepts you, he will emerge. For now, work on your blade attack moves and defensive strategies. Not everyone can manage to call a bitbeast out so soon."

"If it helps you feel better, Wyatt...," called out Mitsu, "It took me almost a month and a half before I could first call out Dabbler."

Wyatt just looked at her, "How is that suppose to help?," he asked questionaly, " If it took you a month and a half, that's probably the amount of time I also need before I can learn to call out Drazzler! Aww.... why couldn't you say you did it in a week or less.."

"Oh..." said Mitsu apologetically, "sorry... I didn't think about it in that aspect....."

"You'll be fine," said Natsuko, kind of irritated at Wyatt's negative attitude, "If you just believe in yourself and your bit beast, you'll be able to do it someday."

"Thanks," said Wyatt, "I will...."

"I have to leave for parctice now," said Natsuko walking to a corner to pick up her kendo stick and gear bag, "Farewell."

"Bye Natsuko," chorused Wyatt and Mitsu together as she left. The two looked at each other, grinning

"Let's do our best to train so that we'll do well in the tournament," said Mitsu, her eyes twinkling.

"Yeah!," said Wyatt, ready.

"Go!," they shouted, as their blades collided with each other.

Two hours later

Mitsu looked at a small watch on her wrist, as the blades were spinning.

"Whoa," said Mitsu, "It's twelve-thirty already?!"

"Really?," asked Wyatt surprised. "We've been at it for a long time, I didn't noticed!."

"Well.. time does fly when we're doing something fun like this. I think we had over six battles already, and you've learned some pretty good moves in such a short amount of time," Mitsu commented.

"Thanks, but same goes for you," said Wyatt, "I've never seen such moves like the ones you used with Dabbler."

Mitsu laughed, "We both did well!! ... let's take a break okay? I'm starving! Wanna go get some lunch with me?"

"Sure!," answered Wyatt, calling his blade from the disk.

Some time later, in a park nearby the school

Wyatt and Mitsu sat on a park bench eating, the senery around them pulsing with beauty, with well-grown grass and trimmed bushes. Alot of other people could be seen in the park, including other students enjoying the nice blue weather and playing in the grass area as a cool breeze blew.

"Thanks for treating me to lunch," Mitsu spoke, smiling as she sat on the bench with a ice cream cone in her hand.

"No prob. You treated me to ice cream anyways," said Wyatt between bites of his cone, finishing it off. He leaned back and sighed, "Do you think we'll do well in the tournament?," he asked Mitsu quietly.

"Yes, of course we will!," said Mitsu, finishing her cone off as well, and got up, "Let's go back." She started to walk towards the entrance of the park nearest to the school but stopped when she realized Wyatt wasn't with her. She glanced back to see that Wyatt had stood up, but had stayed near the bench, looking a little depressed. Mitsu walked back to him, "What's wrong?"

"I'm a little worried," said Wyatt, "I might not be good enough.... plus not to mention I might have to face Rika again in the tournament."

Mitsu replied reassurely, "Don't worry you'll do fine. Besides, Natsuko and I will be there to support you."

Wyatt smiled a little bit, "But....."

"No," said Mitsu shaking a finger at Wyatt, "No buts. You're going to do fine no matter what happens." Mitsu held out her pinky finger.

Wyatt stared at it for a moment, then looked at Mitsu questionly.

"Let's promise each other that we'll do our best in the tournament. Let's make it to the point were we'll be able to battle each other in the tournament," said Mitsu, "Let's pinky swear this."

Wyatt smiled, "Isn't this kind of an elementary thing to do? A pinky swear?"

"So?," asked Mitsu, "Are you going to do it or what?"

Wyatt laughed softly and lifted his pinky finger, to wrap it around Mitsu's own, saying, "I swear, I will try my best in the tournament, so that I might be able to battle you."

Mitsu smiled, "As so do I."

They both shook on it, laughing.

"Come on then," said Mitsu happily, taking Wyatt by the hand to lead him, "Let's go back!," pulling him forwad.

"Okay, okay!," said Wyatt laughing as they walked back, hand in hand, to the school to train more.

Crimson eyes watched their departure from a tree in the park. It was Kai who was just resting in the tree but then had seen their exchange. He smirked, (Interesting....) thought Kai.
