Chapter 3

After they had met up with the others they had all gone to a café in town, between both Tyson and Rika's whining they had no choice. After they had all eaten, about twenty minutes had been spent with Tyson and Rika fighting over who would claim the last doughnut, which Max then 'forced' himself to eat just to end the fighting.

Now Rika and Tyson sat at the table beside each other pouting and throwing death glares at each other whilst giving each other sharp kicks under the table, this was soon ended when the both received one sharp kick at the same time. They growled at each other first before seeing the glare Kai was giving them from the far side of the table. They both sighed then glared at each other and looked away sulking.

As she looked to right to avoid both Tyson and Kai's gazes Rika noticed something over her shoulder. A strangle looking figure sat in a corner of the café, hidden away by the shadows and the dark cloak they were wearing. She narrowed her eyes on them, she got a very back feeling and she knew she was being watched. The figured looked up at her, their eyes locked. Her emerald green met with deep crimson ones. She'd only seen eyes like that in one place before and that was from Kai, as she stared at them she began to feel some what light headed but quickly brushed it off upon hearing her name being called.

" Rika?" she looked around to see Ray standing up and looking down at her, all the others were gone. She looked around in search of them for a moment.

" Come on we're going to the park to check out some of the bladers that practice there, the others have already gone ahead their probably just down the street a bit, come on!" he said holding out his hand to help her up.

She looked back over her shoulder to the corner table but it was empty, they had gone. 'Strange' she thought to herself but let it go and excepted Ray hand as he helped her to her feet.

As they entered the park they could see that Tyson was already engaging in his first battle against some green haired guy with a punk style outfit. Kai turned to them as they approached. " What took you so long?" he practically snapped at Rika. She jumped a bit with fright then slowly back up behind Ray and taking hold of his tied back hair began brushing the tip of it across her chin innocently and looked at him in the same manner.

Ray couldn't help but chuckle at her, she knew very well that trying that on Kai rarely worked if it ever did, if anything it would only land her with an even more pissed off Kai.

" That's not going to work and you know it!" he hissed

She lowered her face and pouted sweetly while looking up at him with puppy dog eyes. Ray laughed again.

" And you shouldn't be encouraging her!" Kai snapped, knowing that she was getting some satisfaction out of the fact that she was making Ray laugh. Ray's smile dropped to a frown.

Rika looked at this and frowned, she looked over at Kai and was about to say something but didn't get the chance.

" Hey you!" came a voice directed at her. Rika looked up to see a boy with long dark blue hair, which was tied back, looking at her and smirking.

" Who me?" she asked pointing to herself.

" Yeah, how about a bey battle?" he said holding his blade in his left hand with his right hand in his jacket pocket. He was taller than her and wore black jeans and dark green jacket over a black t-shirt. He looked to about a year or maybe two older than her and she had to admit wasn't all that bad looking but she wasn't going to take interest. His dark brown eyes bore into her as he challenged her.

After looking him over and with out thinking it through she refused. " No way!" she said sticking her nose in the air and placing her hands on her hips.

" Why, ya scared little girl?" he said hoping she'd change her mind.

She glared at him and narrowed her eyes. "What of you, hn, no way!" she sneered

" Then prove it"

He wasn't rising her, he'd have to do way more than that to rise her but she did want to kick his ass, ' look at him. Thinking he's a really ladies hand I suppose. Yeah, ha charming' she though as he smirked at her smugly, oh yeah she wanted to kick his ass, in the dish would have to do though. Kai wouldn't allow her to physically attack him herself but.

She reached into her pocket and took out her black and red blade. (Hmm, black and red, are we beginning to see a pattern here?) She looked down at it for a moment; it had no bit in it though. She looked to Kai for his consent; he nodded once as a yes.

She looked back to her challenger and smirking nodded and ok.

" Good, but how bout we make it a little more interesting!"

" Go on!" she urged him to continue.

" You got a bit-beast?" he asked

" Yeah, but I rarely use it unless I need to!" she replied

" Well you'll need alright, but how about a wager. If I win I get your bit- beast and your blade and if you win vise versa"

" K, but it's your funeral" she shrugged

Before the battle started Rika reached in under her collar and pulled out a silver chain. On the chain there was what seemed to be a locked of some sort. She opened it up and took out a small bit chip and held it up in front of her face.

' So that's where she keeps it!' Kai said to himself. He'd seen her with that locked before; she had it all the time. He always wondered what significance it had, because it was kind of old looking. And then he also wondered where she kept her bit-chip, he'd never seen it in her blade and she had insisted that she did have one, now he knew. But why would she keep it there instead of in her blade.

She looked at the picture upon the chip; it was hard to make out. What could be seen was a pair of dragon like wings, claws, teeth and a tail. It was obviously a very old chip. 'He's so gonna be sorry he brought my bit beast into this!' she said to herself as she placed the chip in the blade.

" Are you ready yet?" came a voice.

" Yeah, yeah, yeah, if I were you I'd be stalling the match not rushing it on!" she smirked

" Yeah what ever, by the way what's your name. I want to know who I'm beating"

" As if. Names Rika and you?" she said in an all too, I'm not bothered voice

" I'm Anthony, and" he was about to continue when he was cut off

" Yeah, yeah that's all I wanted to know now can we get this over with please!" she grumbled while getting bored with the conversation if you could call it that.

" As you wish" he said taking his place and getting ready to launch. She did the same and they waited for the count down.

"3.2.1 Let It Rip!" yelled Anthony and he let his blade fly into the dish.

Rika's hit the dish the same time as his and went straight to the centre to spin in place while Anthony's continued to round the dish and pick up speed.

Kenny was sitting near by with Dizzi open on his lap didn't understand. Rika's blade wasn't a defence type so what was she doing.

" What is she thinking?" said Kenny loud enough to grab the others attentions.

" What's wrong Chief?" Max asked looking over Kenny's shoulder.

" Rika's being a sitting duck is what, she's deliberately just spinning in place when she knows how vulnerable that makes her especially with the speed Anthony is picking up"

" What exactly are you doing?" Anthony asked her confused by her actions.

" Waiting!" she simply replied

" For what?"

" For you to make the first move of course!"

" Huh?"

" I'm thinking a head, for your sake. I mean think of how embarrassing it would be for you if you didn't even get to make a move at all" she said thoughtfully

He just scowled at her, she was mocking him and he didn't like it. ' I'll show her' he thought ' She'll be sorry she let me make the first move'

"Fang, finish her off now!" he yelled and a huge black wolf emerged from his blade. As this happened his blade stopped circling the dish and headed straight for Rika's. She didn't move. She just stood silently with her arms crossed over her chest. As the blades collided nothing happened. Rika's blade didn't even budge.

Anthony gasped in disbelief. How could she have escaped that with out even moving?

She looked at him questioningly and rose and eye brow. " Was that it?" she asked.

He didn't know what to say. " Your kidding right?" she said smirking

" Ok, my turn!" as she spoke her blade stopped spinning in place and shot around the wall of the dish and as it stopped five more blades identical to hers could be seen in different parts of the dish. Then all at once they charged straight at Anthony's blade, which was now the one spinning helplessly in the middle of the dish. On impact a huge wave of dust and smoke rose from the dish. Rika didn't move but just closed her eyes while the smoke blew over her whilst everyone else, save Kai tried shielding them selves from it, Anthony included.

When the air cleared Rika opened her eyes along with every one else, now more than one blade remained in the dish but none of them were Anthony's. All the red and black blades joined back together as one and returned to Rika's waiting hand.

" Where's my blade, my bit beast?" Anthony said looking around frantically for some part of his blade.

" It's here, with me!" she said holding up her blade so he could see her bit chip. " Maybe that will teach the rest of you, that if you ever challenge me you wont make me bring my bit beast in to it!" She said no more as she turned on her heels and walked away. She said nothing as she passed by her friends but as she passed Kai she stopped and looked up at him, a strange look in her eyes. Then she passed on again with out a word. She knew this would result in her getting a talking to when they got home.

As she left the park Rika felt some one watching her. She looked from left to right and across the park but she couldn't see any one who looked suspicious. Of course that person in the café sprang to mind, which was why she shrugged it off when she didn't see anyone who resembled them.

From behind a couple of trees near by a pair of blood red eyes had been watching Rika and her match. They grinned with satisfaction when she'd won and revealed where the other bit beast had gone as though they had been waiting for her to say that. As Rika disappeared out of the park the cloaked figure faded away into the shadows it had been hidden under.

+++++++++++++++++

Well that's it for chapter 3. Not as good as the first two and that bey battle was a bit ummm, I dunno something. Perhaps a bit unnecessary but it was necessary! You'll see! I'm just not very good at getting a bey battle from my head to the page, that's what I think anyway, chapter 4 should be up very shortly.
