A/N: Hello, my freaky darlings. Seems like a plan is forming into the little, mischievous mind of Cho. But now remains the question: Will she stand, as she promised or chicken out under the pressure of her conscience? Will she succeed or will Kai catch her in the act? Read to find out, my pretties. Read.

'Little thief…'

'Little hero…'

'Doing this for yourself…'

'Doing this for them…'

'Sweet revenge…'

'Last one to fall into your father's hands…'

The little voices nagging in the back of my head couldn't seem to come to a decision as I just stood in front of Kai's drawer. Inside was the topic of the fuss. His blade. The start of all the misery.

"God damnit, Kai" I silently cursed into the empty room.

My hand lingered on the knob, waiting to be opened, but the feeling I loather most next to fear restrained me from doing so. Guilt. Maybe also a little bit of fright. Kai was like a hawk. He could sense me coming from a 300 feet distance, so why wouldn't he be able to sense if something was wrong with his blade?

'But then there's dad…'

'Then there's Kai's cold attitude…'

'He did tell me a lot…'

'But not enough…'

'I'm the one he trusts most now…'

'But enough to leave his life in your hands…?'

'Conscience…? I know he's a jerk. So shut up'

The Blade Breakers promised to drop by anytime soon. And they could arrive any second now. I had to make a decision. And fast.

'For my toy'

The cherry wood drawer opened to reveal the electric blue I saw earlier. It looked so innocent, yet the few scrapes that couldn't be fixed unmasked its fake impression. The cold almost radiated from the scrap of metal as I checked one last time for incoming footsteps. Unless Hopkins was on his way, none was there. He would just emerge out of the shades like some kind of shadow.

Intending to grab to blade and run, everything just vanished in a flash of white as soon as my fingertips made contact with the azure blade. A pair of flaming eyes flickered before my eyes and disappeared as soon as they came. But the white scenario remained, giving me the notion of being on the North Pole, or even heaven. There was nothing but white, a little like the first time I woke up in the hospital. But even its peaceful nature could hide the sad aura it held.

"Don't tell me I blacked out again" I muttered to myself, not expecting a reply.

"Who dares to take my master's blade" a firm voice asked, startling me.

I couldn't make out whether the voice was female or male, but it sounded strict, like it tolerated no contradiction.

"Who…are you?" I asked in a small voice.

"I am Dranzer, my master's Bit-Beast. Now I shall repeat only once more; who dares to touch my master's blade?" it repeated, even more firmly this time.

'Bit what?'

"My name is Cho"

"Ah, I have heard of you, young one"

I was talking to a beyblade. And it was talking back.

'Maybe Kai was right. I need to go back to the mental wing…'

"I can assure you that you are fully sane, Miss Cho"

"You can read my mind?"

"Nothing is concealed inside of the blade"

"Oh god…Are you telling me I'm inside his blade?"

"Yes and no. Your spirit is. I built up a defensive system that will transport the soul to my chamber as soon as I don't recognize the aura touching it. May I ask you what busyness you have with my master's blade?" the phoenix questioned.

I didn't see it, but I could hear its voice floating trough the endless void of white. I knew how Dranzer must've felt. After all, I was in about the same position.

"That's a little hard to explain…"

"Try me" the bit beast encouraged.

"Promise not to tell Kai?"

"We have little contact as it is. He is blocking me out, most of the time. And even so, I will not utter a word of what is being said between us" Dranzer vowed.

I didn't miss the sad note that blended perfectly with the white scenery. Now I knew why this place was in grief. Kai was pushing his Bit Beast away.

"It's like this. Do you remember your last match?" I started.

"Entirely" the phoenix admitted.

"You fought my father. But my father is not an honest man, Dranzer. He blades for the sake of winning, letting nothing stand in his way of victory. But now that you have defeated him in front of the whole world, he feels nothing but detest for your master. And on top of it all, he is working with another man that is out on Kai. I don't know how powerful he is or how far his influence stretches, but they made a pact. Kai's blade for his death. And now my father wants me to steal the blade. He wants me to steal you…"

"But you have no intentions of cooperation…" the infernal spirit guessed.

"That's right. For too long have I seen my father murder innocent people. I can't take it anymore, Dranzer. I may be just a weak, little girl, but I am going to make my final stand. But to do that, I need you"

"What is your plan of action?"

"I never really liked Beyblade. But it seems I have no longer an option. The only way of bringing my father to reason is to challenge him. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. I have five days to learn how to blade. Five days to prepare. I'd say this affects you too. If I lose, Kai's loses. So will you help me?"

"…"

"Dranzer?"

"I will be more then glad to, young one"

"Thanks, Dranzer. You're the best. Let's just keep this silent"

"Of course. I think you should leave now. I can hear footsteps"

With those words, a few specs of color decorated the once completely white room as I found myself standing in the exact same position as I remembered. I perked up at hearing footsteps in the hall, just as Dranzer said. Slamming the cupboard shut, I hopped onto my bed, trying to look bored.

"…is food really the only thing on your mind!? You should be training, especially now that Kai's not able to do it himself!"

The unmistakable pestering of Hilary already reached my ears, even before the door was gently swayed open and announced the arrival of the Beyblade team and their tagging one-eye.

'Kai…'

'The little pest…'

'The little victim…'

'It's his fault…'

'My dad was the one who wanted to compete…'

"Long time no see, Cho!" Rei greeted.

"You call a day long?" I countered, cocking an eyebrow.

"Locked up in a room with Kai…? Yes" Tyson commented.

"Hn. Shut it, oaf. I should be the one who would've turned insane with her" Kai sneered.

"And here I was, thinking I was the one sent to psychiatry. As a matter of fact, I think the boys with the straight jacket are missing me" I absent-minded stated, earning some odd stares from the Blade Breakers.

"No questions" Kai added, his stubborn habit of crossing his arms resurfacing.

"Hey, where'd you get the candy?" Max asked, referring to the stolen sweets from the vending machine.

He was practically drooling over the place.

"Let just say needles aren't always a pain in the ass" I mysteriously hinted.

"You never cease to amaze me…" Kai muttered, close to inaudible.

"Grab what you want, Max. We got more where that came from"

A/N: Now with Dranzer on her side, she stands a far better chance, don't you agree? So that's what Cho had been having in her mind. Now, I just dropped by to post this chapter. The men in white are after me for escaping from the pretty white room. I just came by to pack my things and hop on my steed and run to the horizon. Ginny up, horsy!
