Shadow: All righty then! Here is another long awaited chapter, the chapter that has the fight between Tyson and Kami!!

Kami: Yes! I'll show'em all what I got!!

Shadow: Yeah...sure...

Kami: What's that expose to mean...?

Shadow: Oh nothing...

Kami: ...Whatever I'm still amazing!!:D

Shadow: You keep telling yourself that.

Kami: I don't like you...Shadow does not own Beyblade or any of its characters, only me and any other of her characters.

Flashback/"Thinking"- will know the difference

Chapter 9: A long Awaited Battle

"Are you ready?" Asked a smirking Tyson as he held his blade in a fighting stance.

"I was born ready." Replied Kami confidently as she took her stance as well.

"Alright you two," started Max, "3,2,1, LET IT RIP!

With that both bladers pulled their ripcords and began their long awaited battle. Both started attacking, seemingly equal in strength.

"Your pretty good I guess," said Tyson arrogantly, "but not good enough to beat me, DRAGOON!"

"Like I'm gonna let you get the upper hand, SHADOW!"

Both blades speed increased and their attacks became faster and harder.

"Wow!" Max said amazed at the two blades.

"This is definitely going to be a battle to remember," stated Rei as he tried to follow the speed of the blades.

While Max and Rei were watching the battle-taking place between Tyson and Kami, Kai leaned against a wall, by a nearby leafless tree. He hated the fact that this battle was even taking place, and refused to be anywhere near it. "Fools, they have no idea what they have gotten themselves into, no matter what she won't lose, even if it means the worst." He looked up just to see if the battle was near to finishing, but the battle was only just starting, so he returned to his pose leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and arms crossed, "They'll find out soon enough."

"DRAGOON STORM ATTACK!!"

"SHADOW HOWLING FORTRESS!!"

Dragoon came out of its blade and created a giant swarm of wind that surround Kami's blade, but Shadow's defensive attack kept it perfectly safe.

"NOW SHADOW, SHADOW CLAW!!"

The black wolf emerged from the blade and with a swipe of its claw knocked Tyson's blade to the side, but not making it stop spinning. The look on Kami's face, which had been a playful yet determined smile, had faded. Her features became darker, and her eyes began to turn a light gold. Her hair became stiffer and her entire face was blank, with complete lack of any emotion.

"This is fun," she laughed sinisterly, "but it will end soon! SHADOW!!" The wolf howled menacingly, its fangs showing and its hair brittle.

Kai, who had not been paying attention to the battle, shivered as he felt a cold and dark presence. He visibly began to pale and fell to the ground holding his knees as he remembered what this feeling was.

"Kami? Are you alright?" Rei asked sincerely, not knowing if everything was okay.

The air around them seemed to become thick and cold. It was almost suffocating.

"What's happening," thought Tyson feeling his energy drain from him

"Now then lets finish this," Kami stated coldly, licking her lips.

"No…no…NO!" Kai yelled.

Flashback

A 9-year-old Kai, sat on the floor pushing himself as far back as he could until he hit a wall, but even so continued to push himself into it hoping to get further away. He couldn't see anything, but he could feel it. He felt himself chocking, the frigidly thick air was cutting off his oxygen. Small cuts began to form across his body, two on his left cheek and one on the right, the blood from the cuts mixing with the tears that ran down his face.

"I didn't mean to…I had no idea that…why? Why did this happen?" A small girl asked Kai as she sat holding her knees, tears streaking her face, "It's dark…it's so dark…why is it dark? Pain…I feel pain…why?"

Kai just stared at the girl. His entire body was numb but he couldn't stop shaking. The girls eyes had been hidden by her hair, but as she raised her head she stared straight at Kai, causing him stop moving, breathing.

"You," the girl said demonically, "you did this didn't you? You caused this darkness you caused this pain! I will now end this darkness, this pain, and then everything will be all right. Right?"

With a sadistic smile the girl got to her feet and as she did an enormous power came forth, heading straight for Kai. Kai closed his eyes waiting for what was to come.

"T.J., save me…" Kai chocked quietly to himself.

End Flashback

Kai sat against the wall shaking with his eyes closed. He hadn't felt this feeling in so many years and he didn't like it. He slowly opened his eyes to find that the battle was still going on, but Kami was about to make her final attack. Kai stumbled to his feet knowing he had to stop her somehow, but how. "What made her stop that one time," he thought to himself as he neared the battle. He stood next to Max and Rei who both seemed confused as to what was going on, and it hit him, "T.J.!" "T.J.…KAMI!" He yelled at her getting her attention, "T.J.!"

At the mention of that name Kami grabbed her dog tags and squeezed them in her hands. She closed her eyes as if trying to find herself. And it looked like it worked for her dark features began to disappear and her hair began to settle. And as she opened her eyes, emerald shone along with a small smile. Tyson saw this and took his chance to attack as he felt his strength returning. Both blades raced towards each other, crashing, bouncing off each other, and finally landing at their master's feet, ending the battle.

"I…I guess it's a tie," stated Max, staring at the two.

Both bladers picked up their blades, silently. Kami was the first to break the silence, "You got lucky this time," she replied in her playful tone.

"Not luck just skill," he replied to her with a smirk.

"Skill? Yeah right, I'll let you know when I see some coming from you," she laughed.

"What!?" Tyson yelled throwing his arms up in the air, starting yet another little fight between himself and Kami. Max walked over joining in by trying to be the peacemaker, but ended up just sweat dropping at the child like insults they used.

Rei stood where he was watching them from a far with a smile, but was still confused as to what happened during the battle, how she would have changed so much, and yet change back so quickly. He turned to see Kai leave, he could sense some feeling emitting from him as he walked into the house but he had no idea what it was, but he did seem paler than usual. "What is happening? And who is this T.J.?" Rei thought to himself as he returned his gaze to Max and the others.

Kai was taking a walk around a park that night trying to clear his mind from what had happened when his cell phone began ringing.

"Hello."

"Kai? It's Tala, I found out some information on Kami during those months," he started, and when he didn't hear Kai say anything he continued, "someone I talked to said that they saw Kami in Russia during those two months, and she was walking with someone."

"What was she doing in Russia?"

"I have no idea, they said they only saw her that one time and they didn't know who the person was because they had their face hidden. Kai something is up with her, has anything happened while she was with you?"

There was a long pause as Kai remembered the events that took place earlier that day; he shivered just thinking about it, "No."

"Well keep a close eye on her I'm going to see if I can figure anything else out."

With that the phone line went dead and Kai closed his phone and put it back into his pocket. Another cool breeze blew past him, having the familiar scent of snow with it.
