'Thoughts...'
"Speaking..."
--Flashbacks--
More Then A Change
As night time rolled around, Kaiko waited in her locked room, pacing back and forth. She paced from her bed, to the wall, back to the bed, back to the wall, turn around, bed, wall, turn. She continued this for a few more minutes, making sharp turns and quick paces. Her cherry eyes glared hard at the floor and she looked like she was about to scream.
'Kaiko?' A high pitched squawk filled the girl's head.
Kaiko ignore the voice and kept pacing. She snapped around and strode towards the bed. Kaiko growled.
'Kaiko, please talk to me?' The phoenix pleaded.
There was no reply. Kaiko just snapped around yet again and paced forward.
'Kaiko PLEASE! Don't ignore me, we're a team!' Dranzer screeched. 'I know you're mad but over something so little?'
"LITTLE? YOU CALL BEING STUCK AS A GIRL LITTLE????" Kaiko screamed. She ran to the desk, slammed her fists on the desk, and screamed again. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?"
'Calm down! You never let me have my way! It's always you, you, you! Please, just for tomorrow and I swear I'll let you be a boy again! Don't be mad at me for that!'
"NO!" Kaiko slammed the desk again. Her hands shook from frustration. "I'll be mad if I want to be! You have no control over that Dranzer! And by tomorrow, if I'm not Kai again, I swear, I'll break you in half." Kaiko grabbed the blade and threw it across the room. She jumped on her bed and buried her face in her pillow.
'This can't be happening. She said she wouldn't do this to me, but she is. I'm Kaiko for another day. Another I have to put up with Ray and how this body reacts to him! If it wasn't bad enough how just Kai reacts to him, stupid Kaiko has to be attracted to Ray too. Damn it to hell!' Kaiko slammed her fist into her bed for good measures. 'Ray would be so pissed if he found out. I can't let anything like that happen.' Kaiko turned to her side and hugged a pillow against her chest. "I can't loose one of my few friends."
**--**--**
Ray laid on his bed, arms behind his head and legs crossed. He stared at the plain ceiling and he sighed. He was thinking of how Kaiko had acted around him when he went to the mansion. At first, he was shocked at how close she was, how nice she was being, but it really shocked him when the girl recoiled so fast. It was like the plague had tried to touch her.
'Hnnn... Drigger, did I do something wrong to make her mad?' Ray queried.
'Well, you did just act dumb, but other than that, no.' Drigger roared.
'Oh, thanks a lot. That makes me feel a WHOLE lot better.' Ray scoffed.
'You did. You just laid there.... and stared. That would be a turn off too.' Drigger sniggered.
Ray scowled. 'You're against me aren't you?'
'Of course.'
'I knew it.' Ray smirked and tossed to his side then his stomach. 'So, are you ever going to tell me what you and Dranzer were talking about?'
'No.'
'You really are a brat.'
'I know.'
'At least you do.' Ray yawned and closed his eyes. 'At least Kai will be back tomorrow. I mean, I like Kaiko and all, she's really cute, but Kai... is just... well Kai. He's not cute, he's beautiful.'
'Yeah, and I'm a penguin.'
'Shut up you stupid cat!' Ray frowned at Drigger's comment. That tiger got on his nerves sometimes.
'No thank you.'
'I hate you.'
'And I hate you.' Drigger snarled and chuckled at the same time.
Ray chuckled to himself. You don't hear a tiger chuckle and snarl that often. It sounds like a someone laughing with a really bad cough. 'Night Drigger.'
'Night.'
**--**--**
Ray, Max, Tyson, and Kenny were all at the park for practice. Each boy was waiting for their leader to show up, but he never came. Tyson just hollered about injustice and Max tried to calm him down. Kenny suggested they get started on practicing and Ray hug out on the sidelines. Ray was really worried now. Kai hadn't shown and there was no reason for him not too.
"Ray, I think you and Tyson should face off. Tyson, try more evasive moves, try to improve your speed and agility. Ray, try to attack Tyson in surprises, head-on attacks or whatever you need." Kenny commanded.
"But why do I have to evade? That's so boring!" Tyson whined.
"Because you lack in your defense."
"Just do it Tyson." Max grabbed the sullen boy and pushed him towards the blade dish.
"Ready Ray?" Kenny asked.
'No, I'm not, but thanks for asking.' Ray thought. He nodded to Kenny and took his place by the dish. Both boys readied their blades.
"Ready.... three.... two.... one.... Let it RIP!" Max hollered.
**--**--**
Kaiko walked the streets of the city, head down and shoulders slumped. She shivered from a cold wind, her apple red, spaghetti strap tank top didn't protect her from the cold and neither did her denim blue shorts. 'Damn weather forecast, and damn me for listening to them!' She gave a small shiver and clutched a purple beyblade and launcher to her chest. She had refused to take Dranzer anywhere. That bird deserved every once of meanness she had for her.
A gust of wind blew and Kaiko clutched herself tighter. Her loose blue hair swayed in the wind and she wanted to scream. She stopped in her walk and looked at the shop next to her. Aki's Sweater Shop stood out in bold letters and Kaiko smiled. She briskly walked into the shop and was greeted with a warm hello.
"Hello there young lady. How can I help you?" A lady came up to her and smiled.
Kaiko stared at her for a moment. "I need a red sweater. One that would match my shirt here." Kaiko tugged on her tank top.
"No problem. We just got some new sweaters over on that rack."
"Thank you." Kaiko nodded and headed to the corner. She shifted through a few sweaters when she found what she wanted. She grabbed a small and headed to the register.
"I'm glad you found what you wanted. Will this be all?"
"Yes."
The lady rung it up, placed it in a bad and pushed it towards Kaiko. Kaiko paid and left the store. Just outside the door, she shivered and put the sweater on, ripping the price tag off of the sleeve before she continued on her way to the park.
As she entered the park, she heard a shout of defeat. She looked around and saw the Bladebreakers gathered around a dish with Tyson holding his defeated blade in one hand. Kaiko rolled her eyes and walked to them. Just as she got five feet away, she noticed Ray turning around. She stopped in her tracks and waited.
**--**--**
Ray finished the battle and held his blade. He waited for Tyson to pick up his blade when he felt someone watching him. Slowly, Ray turned around and his breath hitched. Kaiko stood just in front of him. Ray waved a little, catching the attention of his teammates.
"Hey guys, who is she?" Kenny asked, looking up from his laptop.
"That's the girl from yesterday, her name is Kaiko. She is Kai's cousin and she beat Tyson in like... seconds!" Max informed.
"What do you want?" Tyson glared.
"Nothing. Just watching you lose." Kaiko shrugged, wrapping her arms around her waist.
"Kaiko..." Ray took a step forward. He was so confused. Kaiko said she would be Kai today! "What a-are you doing here? I thought you had to go... last night."
"There was a change of plans." Kaiko shifted her weight to one foot. "Is there a problem?"
"N-no, no problem. It's just, I don't know, weird seeing you. Again."
"So, Kaiko." Kenny stood up from his computer and stood in front of the girl. He looked straight into her eyes. "Would you mind battling one of our team members? It could be very educational for training! I'm sure Kai would even appreciate it too."
Kaiko held back a snarl. She didn't want to blade today, but it was practically a challenge. So be it. She nodded to Kenny. "Who will I battle?"
"Great! You'll be battling Ray."
Ray nearly fell over. He had to face Kaiko, who was Kai, who would royally kick his ass. 'Damn. Drigger, be careful, Dranzer will be on an all out attack.'
'I'm not to sure Ray. I can't sense Dranzer anywhere.' Drigger growled.
'What? Are you sure?' Ray was confused. Why wasn't Dranzer with Kai? Kai never left Dranzer anywhere.
'Of course I'm sure. There is no sign of Dranzer here.'
Ray didn't have anymore time to think when Max began to count down.
"Three.... two.... one...."
Ray readied his blade. He gulped. He glanced across at Kaiko. She held a purple blade and launcher, ready for the beginning. Ray cleared his mind.
"Let it RIP!"
Both blades were released. Each dodged, attacked, and swerved in the bowl. Drigger tried to get the upper hand but he wasn't able too. Ray saw this and called upon Drigger to emerge.
"Let's do this Drigger! Tiger Claw Attack!"
"Hn. That won't help you Ray." Kaiko glared at the blades.
Drigger emerged from the blade and attacked. The purple blade took a beating but didn't go out, it just kept bouncing right back. Drigger was getting fed up. He charged at the blade and attempted to knock it out of the dish. The purple blade leaned down and waited. Just as Drigger touch the purple blade, the blade jumped up, throwing Drigger clear out of the bowl and into Kenny's laptop.
"HEY! You aren't suppose to hit me!" Dizzi screeched.
"Woow." Max and Tyson just stared open mouth. Kaiko had just beaten Ray's tiger claw attack and she didn't even have a bit beast! Kenny frowned and walked up to the girl.
"You're very talented Kaiko. How are you able to blade like that, without a bit beast?"
"I have my ways." Kaiko jerked her head to the side and the purple blade flung itself into the air. Kaiko caught it with ease and glanced at Ray. "Ray, next time I expect you to concentrate. Don't start being like Tyson."
"Hey! I resent that remark!" Tyson hollered.
"Whatever."
A gust of wind blew threw the park and Kaiko, unknowingly, dropped her blade. She growled and began to walk away.
"Hey, wait!" Max rushed up to Kaiko, blade in hand and grabbed Kaiko by the shoulder. Kaiko shivered and pulled away. She stared at Max with cold eyes. "You dropped your blade." He grabbed Kaiko's hand and dropped it into her palm.
"T-thanks." She stuttered and broke eye contact. She didn't pull her hand away from Max's, which seemed to linger just a little to long.
"No problem." Max grinned and pulled away. "Oh, if you see Kai soon, tell him he needs to come to practice okay?" Max laughed and bounced away.
Kaiko glanced back at the group and froze. It looked like Ray was about ready to kill Max and so was Tyson. She didn't understand why. She stood there for a few seconds and could almost swear she heard a low growl come from Ray, but she couldn't be sure. 'I don't get it.' She looked away and began walking away. She didn't have time to waste here anymore, she had to go speak to Dranzer about getting back to her regular self.
**--**--**
About seven o'clock, Kaiko had finally 'convinced' Dranzer to change her back. It only took a threat to put the bit beast in the freezer, a trip down through the sewer, a throwing against the wall, and getting licked by a rat.
'You had better keep your promise not to hurt me!' Dranzer squawked.
'If you don't change me back right now, I'll make sure to really hurt you Dranzer.' Kaiko growled.
'Okay, okay. Just go sit down on the bed.'
Before Kaiko moved, she grabbed a hold of her oversized pajama pants at the waist. The shirt and the pants were way to big for her as a girl, but she wasn't going to be a girl for much longer.
She slid onto the bed and waited. 'Okay Dranzer. Do it.'
A bright light filled the room and Kaiko collapsed. Kaiko's body began to change and grow to its normal status. The light finally disappeared after a good minute and Kai was back.
"It's about damn time Dranzer." Kai groaned and held his head. Changing back into his normal form hurt more than turning into a girl. He crawled up his bed and under his covers. He didn't bother turning off the lights before he shut his eyes to go to sleep.
On the desk, Dranzer pulsed a bright red before dimming out. Dranzer gave a yawn like caw and grumbled. 'Stupid tiger and his ideas. Kai had better still like me after what we've got planned or I swear, I'll kill the tiger and eat him for breakfast.'
**~~**Author's Note**~~** There ya go! It's chapter five! Woohaw! Um, the chapters longer then the others, but I had to get a lot in. It was kinda boring but... eerrr... it needed to be done. I guess. Heh, yeah, okay. But, next chapter I hope it gets a little more interesting. I've got plans **couch sickness cough** for Kai and I have an idea for Ray. **snickers and mumbles about a nurse** Okay, thank you Issini, Mikadonk, Lady BlackDragonFire, Nicole, Ray/Mariah ficcys 4ever, and Mizu. Oh, and Mizu, that's a wonderful idea about having Kai and Kaiko at the same time. I might use that, but I have to figure out a way first. Hopefully I'll think really hard and figure it out, but this is me we're talking about. LOL. That's all, and thanks to anyone I didn't mention or, stupidly, I forgot. Have lots of fun, and smile!
