Thank you to the people that reviewed so far. I know the first chapter was kinda rushed, but this chapter is longer than the first one, and I hope it would explain what I wanted to point out in the first chapter. I don't really recall much about the Ranma stuff cuz it's been like a long time since I watched the series, so if there are any mistakes, I'm sorry. Lady Adako: Thanks for giving me the idea for the eye color; I didn't know what color would've suited him, so thanks. ^.^

Disclaimer: I dun own Beyblade, but I wouldn't mind owning Kai or Rei tho. ^_^.

Chapter 2

"Don't worry, Mr. Dickenson. He'll be alright." The man said.

"Are you sure that 'he' is really our team member?" Mr. Dickenson asked curiously as he poked Rei, making him squirm in his unconsciousness. Within a few minutes, Rei woke up and stared at Mr. Dickenson and the man that gave him the towel.

"Mr. Dickenson, what's going on? Where are the others?" Rei asked quickly.

"The other Bladebreakers are on the other room." Mr. Dickenson replied.

"Well, now that you're awake, I have good news and bad news." The man said.

"Let's start with the bad, at least I can hope to look forward if the good news is good." Rei sighed.

"Okay. Bad news is that you fell into the cursed spring of girl, meaning you have turned into a girl for at least a week, but most likely a month." The man said. (AN: Okay, I kinda forgot what the cursed spring was called, so please don't kill me for that.)

Rei groaned under his breath and muttered something incoherently. "And what's the good news?"

"The good news is," the man turned around to get a bowl of hot water (not too hot that it would burn you, but hot enough to be handled) and dumped the whole content of the bowl at Rei.

Rei let out a small yelp in surprise and he quickly noticed that his voice and body seems to change again. Tyson suddenly burst into the room.

"Who screamed?" He said as he looked around and his eyes stopped at the drenched boy in front of him.

"Ugh. You could've at least warned me that you'll throw water at me." Rei grumbled. "Tyson, out. Don't ask, don't tell." He quickly added as Tyson looked at him.

"That's the good news. You can turn back into a guy when hot water soaks you. Remember this though, if you get splashed by cold water, you turn back into a girl." The man said after Tyson left.

"So you're telling me that I just turned half-girl and half-boy?" Rei asked, his golden eyes flashing in disbelief

"I'm afraid so." The man replied.

"Oh man." Rei muttered.

"When, roughly, do you think he'll be back to normal?" Mr. Dickenson asked.

"The least I've got recorded is a week. It usually depends on how it wears off on the person. One time, it took about a year for the curse to lift on this one person because he swallowed some of the water. The average for the people to turn back though, is about a month." The man concluded. "Mr. Dickenson, why don't you give me your number so that I can keep track on how Rei is doing?"

"Alright" Mr. Dickenson said as he gave the man his number.

"How did you know about the person who turned into a girl for a year?" Rei asked.

The man's ears turned red. "I was the one who turned half-girl for a year."

"Drag…" Rei said.

"Well then, now that that's settled, let's go Rei." Mr. Dickenson said.

Rei nodded and left the room.

"Well, what happened?" Kai asked, with an eyebrow raised.

"Just a little, er, incident." Mr. Dickenson said dismissively. "Let's have lunch, er, boys."

Rei shot Mr. Dickenson a look and went out the door. Kai noticed the sudden behavior change in Rei.

'All of a sudden he seems so moody. What's wrong with him?' Kai thought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ At The Restaurant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rei ate his food and eyed the iced water in front of him. He couldn't look at cold water the same way, at least for the upcoming month.

"You alright, Rei?" Max asked as he looked at Rei, "You look a little down."

Rei gave a weak smile. "I'm fine, just exhausted I guess."

A waiter then came by their table to refill the glasses, when at the same time, Tyson stood up to go to the washroom. As the waiter crashed into the chair, he lost his balance and spilled a pitcher full of cold water to the person beside Tyson, which happens to be Rei.

Rei's drenched strawberry blond hair covered his face and looked down. His body shrank as he felt the same tingling feeling.

"Oh, man. I'm SO sorry, Rei" Tyson apologized.

Kai looked at Rei intently as he brushed off the wets strands of hair from his face. Kai gaped at Rei. Was this the same blader he respected? The one that changed right before his eyes?

'He looks different,' Kai thought, still looking at Rei intently. Rei looked up and saw that Kai was looking at him-err…in this case, her intently.

"What? Never seen a girl before?" Rei asked playfully.

"In your case, not really." Kai sneered and went back to eating, but was taking occasional glances at Rei, who was given a towel by the waiter to dry him, er, herself.

"You know, Rei, for the month, I think that you should get new clothes." Mr. Dickenson pointed out.

"Also considering the fact that Tyson is a klutz in more things than one." Max added

"Hey!" Tyson yelled.

"So are you telling me that I should stay like this for a month?" Rei asked, her mauve eyes flashing in disbelief.

"Looks that way, doesn't it?" Kai said, with a sly look at Rei. Rei blinked at Kai. Did Kai just have a hopeful look in his eyes?

"How exactly am I going to buy female clothing?" Rei asked mournfully.

"Owa but dat grr Mawaya (How about that girl Mariah)?" Tyson asked with his mouth full.

"You want me to ask Mariah to help me out?" Rei asked as Tyson swallowed his food.

"Yeah, why not? I mean she is a girl, and she is your friend." Tyson said, taking another large bite of the chicken in his hand.

"If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that you guys planned this from the beginning." Rei mumbled, pushing her plate away from her.

"Well then, Rei, go ahead and call her." Mr. Dickenson said, pointing to the payphones near their table. Rei stood up and dialed Mariah's number.

RING! RING!

"Hello?" Mariah said as she picked up the phone.

"Hey, Mariah. It's Rei."

"Hey Rei, what's up?"

"Nothing much. Are you alone?"

"Not really. The other White Tigers are outside training. Why do you ask?"

"Don't freak out at what I'm going to tell you, okay?"

"Did Kai ask you out already? Whoa, that's pretty quick."

Rei sweatdropped. "No, not yet, actually but I called for a different reason."

"Hmm… Rei, how come you sound different?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I fell into the Jyusenko springs, so now I'm half girl for at least a month."

"I see. Do you need help on anything?"

"Yeah. The Bladebreakers and Mr. Dickenson all agreed that I should stay as a girl until the curse wears off. Don't tell the other White tigers though"

"Don't worry, I won't. Bring someone we know with you if we're going to meet up. I heard that the people who got cursed get different results."

Rei looked around at the Bladebreakers table to see who would be the best companion. Tyson? Nah, he thinks too much about food. Max? He's okay, but he smiles too cheerful. Kenny? I don't think so. He's too busy wearing out Dizzi's keyboards so I guess he's out too. Mr. Dickenson is a busy man, so scratch him out too. Rei then looked at Kai.

"Hold on, Mariah," Rei said, lowering the phone. "Kai, is it okay if you come with me to the mall?"

Kai raised an eyebrow, eyes locked on Rei's mauve eyes.

"Fine. It's not like there is anything else better to do here." He replied.

"Good. Mariah, when's a good time for you?" Rei said, lifting the phone again.

"If you want, we can go now." Mariah replied.

"Alright. Meet you there in an hour. Bye." Rei said as she hung up the phone.

"Well boys, and Rei, Let's head back to our rooms and change. Kai and Rei, I'll have a Taxi drop you off to the mall. The rest of you are going to be practicing in the basement, alright?" Mr. Dickenson asked.

The Bladebreakers nodded and filled out. When Rei got into their room, he froze in front of the closet.

"What's with you?" Kai said.

Rei quickly grabbed a pair of pants, a shirt, and a roll of tape. (AN: Since he doesn't have a bra. Hey Leina, doesn't the tape sound familiar? XD) She ran to the bathroom and locked the door with a click. Kai shook his head as he was leaning against the wall waiting for Rei. When Rei came out, she was wearing a loose T-shirt and loose pants. Kai smirked as Rei came out of the bathroom, finishing braiding her hair.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Rei said as she finished tying up her hair.
