(Well here's the next chapter of my story...hope you guys like it! Just to let you know, Jade and Rei are staying at the hotel with Mr.Dickinson (this way you won't be confused!)..oh yeah I don't own Beyblade, only Jade and Dazzler)

Chapter 6: Another Encounter

Jade lay awake in her bed, as the numbers on her clock turned to read 6:00 a.m. She rolled over as she stared up at the ceiling,

"Why can't I sleep!"

She rubbed her eyes then sat up straight in her bed, she slowly slung her legs over her bedside and stood up upon the cool floor. She figured she'd only had about 2 hours of sleep, and yet she didn't feel the least bit tired. She put on her regular apparel and went over to retrieve her beyblade Dazzler, which was lying beside the lamp. As Jade got closer to her beyblade it began to glow ever so slightly. She sighed then picked it up with her right hand, as she kneeled upon the floor. As soon as the blade felt her touch, it began to glow brilliantly. Jade looked at it, as if this happened all the time.

"Well...at least one of us is happy."

She sighed again, then placed Dazzler inside her belt pocket. She looked up at the door, which connected her room to the room of Mr.Dickinson and Rei.

"Guess I better be quiet," she said to herself as she slowly pulled herself up from the floor. She walked towards her room door, and quietly opened it as she exited into the empty hallway. She didn't know what she'd do this early in the morning, but she figured some ammature beybladers might be practicing along the streets. The sun was slowly beginning to rise, as Jade felt the cool, crisp, morning air surround her. She looked from side to side, and noticed that the streets were empty except for her.

"Man...people must like to sleep over here!" she patted her pocket where Dazzler lay, and shrugged. "Well, looks like we won't be having any practice battles today Dazz"

Just as Jade was about to turn around and head back to the hotel, she heard some kids shouting down an alley. It definitely sounded like a beyblade battle was going on. She quickly walked over to the alleyway, and looked down it. "Yup" she thought to herself, as she saw 3 boys standing around a small dome. On the other side was another boy, who stood with his arms crossed.

"This is pathetic...and you call yourself a beyblader!"

Jade recognized that voice, and suddenly remembered who it was...

"Kai.please don't wreck my blade!" pleaded the boy who was obviously competing against Kai. "My grandpa gave it to me for my birthday!"

"Well, maybe you should've thought about that before challenging me to a battle!"

Kai sneered as he looked at the boy across from him. The boy was almost in tears, as he looked at his two friends,

"come on guys, you gotta help me!"

The other two boys backed away slowly in fear, as one of them spoke.

"Sorry Dave..you're on your own!"

Dave looked up at Kai, hoping that his beyblade wouldn't come out in ruins. Kai shook his head,

"sorry...but, Dranzer doesn't take it easy on ammatures!"

The boy dropped to his knees as Kai told Dranzer to attack with 'Spin Fire'. As Kai's blue blade began to attack, it was suddenly thrown out of the dome. Kai was in shock as he clutched his blade from in the air. Inside the dome he saw 2 blades spinning. He recognized the gray one as being Dave's, but was unsure about the purple one, which was now spinning steadily in the middle.

"Alright, which one of you guys interrupted our battle!?" Kai said as he glared at the two other boys.

"That would've been me!"

Kai spun around as he saw a girl walk up to him from the shadows. He recognized her from the park, the same girl that Tyson and the others were with. He sneered at her as she reached into the dome and picked up the small gray blade.

"Here," Jade said as she threw the blade at the boy. He caught it with both hands, and quickly shoved it into his pocket, as the 3 of them quickly left. Then Jade picked up her own purple blade, as she turned to walked away.

"Wait!" said Kai as his anger began to flare. "It's Jade...right?"

Jade stopped and faced Kai,

"yeah, that's right. Do you have a problem with that?!"

"Yeah...as a matter of fact I do!" Kai replied as he looked at Jade with hatred. "You interrupted my battle!"

"I had too!" stated Jade simply. "You were going to destroy his blade!"

This comment made Kai even more upset,

"of course I was going to destroy his blade..what else would I do with it!?"

Jade rolled her eyes at him,

"sure, beyblades get destroyed in battle. But, you were going to destroy his blade on purpose..what's the point!?"

"You obviously don't know me very well." Kai replied.

"No, I don't" replied Jade as she grinned. "And personally, I don't really want to know you!"

Kai shook his head, as he focused his gaze at her eyes.

"You don't want to mess with me little girl!"

This last comment didn't even faze Jade, as she gave a smug smile.

"Funny...that's just what I was going to say about you!"

Jade could see Kai's anger flare, as he clenched his fists tightly. He suddenly held out his beyblade in front of him,

"fine then...let's just see which one of us comes out victorious. Although we both know who that's going to be...ME!"

Jade tossed her beyblade up into the air, caught it, then placed it back into her belt pocket. She slowly shook her head and shrugged.

"Sorry Kai..I don't like to battle against my teammates!"

"What!?" Kai asked as he looked at her with shock. "What do you mean?!"

"Obviously no one told him yet," thought Jade as she stared up at Kai. Jade couldn't believe that out of the entire team, Kai was the last one to know about her joining.

"I'm sure Mr.Dickinson had a planned a better way to introduce us, but...I just became the 5th member of your little Bladebreaker team!" Jade answered.

Kai shook his head in disgust, "impossible!" he thought to himself. "She's coming to the 'Beynamite' tournament with us!?" Kai looked back over at Jade, as he suddenly had that feeling of regret again. "What's going on!" he thought as he placed his left hand on his forehead. "Why do I keep thinking like this!"

Jade looked at him oddly,

"You have nothing to say about that?!"

Kai came back to his senses, as he smirked once more.

"Sure I do, but..I'm not really in the mood to see you cry right now!"

Jade was startled as Kai shot out this last remark. He turned away from her and quickly left the alley. Jade sighed, then left the alley herself, as she headed back towards the hotel.

(And that was chapter 6! Let me know what you guys think!)
