I feel so horrible right now. I mean horrible! It's been like a month
hasn't it? Minus the Author's Note I posted. And this chapter is nothing
to get excited about either I'm sorry, I'm in a rut right now. I'll
try and make it up to y'all in the next chapter, the festival (which should
be out on time since Easter is next weekend). I've also been playing that
one in my head for a while so it should turn out better then this one. ^^
*looks hopeful*
Also thanks to everyone wishing me luck on my test. Much appreciated.
So, I'll shut up now *nods* Talk to you down below.

"Speaking"
:: Kai's little voice ::
* * *
~ Chapter 10: Bladebreakers vs. All-Starz ~
"Analysis?" Judy asked one of the scientists scribbling something on to her clipboard.
"Nothing."
"Still? How is this possible? It's been a week since we've started to analysis this attack, this Pack attack. Why haven't we gotten any results?" Judy demanded, but the scientist merely shrugged. "Arg! Emily!?" she called.
"Yes director!" Emily answered looking up from her computer.
"Have you gotten anything?"
"No. Nothing." Emily shook her head.
"We must hurry. We have to battle them soon."
* * *
"Man, it feels like I slept on a rock!" Tyson groaned opening his eyes and rubbing them. But it was so dark he couldn't see. "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Max, Ray, and Sora weren't long running in to the room to see what was up.
"TYSON!? What's wrong?" Max yelled.
"I'M BLIND!!!" he cried. "Everything's so dark! I can't see!"
The three looked at one another and then started snickering.
"Wh-what's so funny!" Tyson sniffed. "I'll never be able to see the blue sky, or green grass ever again. And it's going to make things a hell of a lot harder when blading."
"Well let me shine some light on you!" Max grinned lifting up the end of the blanket, which were so long they were touching the floor. Tyson didn't know what to think of this as he waited. Then all of a sudden there was a bright light and Max's face could be seen.
"I-I-I CAN S-S-SEE!!!!!" Tyson rolled out from under the bed screaming, "Now let's go eat!"
"What about the blue sky and green grass?" Ray asked.
"Ah, that can wait! I'm hungry!" Tyson said running downstairs to the kitchen. Laughing they all followed.
As they entered the kitchen they could see that Tyson was already in the fridge humming away as he grabbed an assortment of things and laid them on the table.
"Anybody want some?" he offered.
"What are you making?" they asked.
"A 'Tyson Kinomiya Special'!" he smiled.
"Should I ask?" Max asked.
"If you don't I will." Ray replied.
Nodding Max asked, "Tyson, what's in this special?"
Tyson smiled ear-to-ear and said, "Potatoes, carrots, bread, ketchup, mustard, and maybe pickles. I'm still deciding on that one. I'm thinking it may make it taste a little funny. So... anybody want some?"
"As good as that sounds," Sora said in complete disgust, "I think I'll have some toast." She finished walking towards the toaster.
"Your loss!" Tyson chirped as he continued preparing a sandwich. "What about you two!" he asked finishing the sandwich and held it up to the other two boys. They both held their breath and shook their heads politely. "Well, okay!" Tyson said grinning as he left. /More for me!!! / He cheered inwardly at his success sitting himself in the living room to get some good wholesome television time in.
"So, today's your big match." Sora said popping the toast up and placing it on her plate.
"Sure is!" Ray smiled.
"Nervous?" She asked.
"Hardly!" Max grinned, while thinking /Hell ya! This is my last chance to prove to mom that I'm a world-class blader. /
"Hurry up! We have to go now." Kai voice sailed through the house, followed by a groan from the living room.
"You coming Sora?" Ray asked as he and Max headed for the front door.
Sora looked down pondering. If she did go, Kai might get distracted and lose the battle. She didn't want to be the cause of that.
"I'll stay and cook your victory dinner!" she said as cheerful as she could muster.
"Okay then!" Max smiled, flashing a victory 'V' on the way out.
"Sure you don't want to come?" Ray asked again, and Sora nodded. "Alright. See you later," Ray waved on his way out.
The five boys headed to the BBA research facility psyched. They were finally getting their rematch.
"Okay here's the plan. Since both Kai and Tyson's blades have those special powers, we'll have them go. The All-Starz are probably still trying to figure out Sora's attack," Kenny laughed to himself.
"Right Chief!" Tyson cheered excitedly. "But who will be the third blader?"
"Let me!" Max begged. "I lost last time. Please let me go again. I have to prove myself."
"Ray?"
"Hey, it's okay by me. Good luck Max!" Ray said.
The bus pulled up to the large complex and the Bladebreakers got off meeting the All-Starz.
"Hey guys!" Tyson waved.
"What took you so long?" Steve asked. "I was starting to think you wouldn't come." he smirked.
"Where's Sora?" Emily asked.
"She decided to stay behind and cook our VICTORY dinner!" Tyson grinned.
"Too bad there will be no victory for you," Steve smirked flashing his almighty blade.
The All-Starz left the Bladebreakers in a room and said that they had to get their blades.
"Welcome again Bladebreakers!" Judy smiled entering the room.
"Hey mom!" Max smiled. /I will finally be able to prove to you that I am a good blader! / Max cheered to himself.
"Hello Maxy," she smiled. "So, shall we get to the beystadium?"
They all nodded and followed Judy in to another room where the All-Starz stood.
"We will have a regular best two of three battles." Judy said and everyone nodded. "Alright then. Please send in your first blader."
"Good luck Max!" Tyson, Kenny, and Ray cheered from the sidelines.
"Nice cheerleaders! Not very cute though!" Steve laughed stepping up on the other side.
"Hmph! I'm as cute as they come!" Tyson called out.
"Three... two... one... let it rip!!!"
"Go Draceil!" Max yelled.
"Tryhorn!!"
The two blade's names were called as they hit the dish. Circling the dish with great speed Steve decided to make the first move.
"Tryhorn stampede attack!!" he yelled as a heard of rampaging bulls were seen coming out of the blade and rushing towards Draceil.
"Metal ball defense!!" Max yelled. His blade began to glow as his bit- beast emerged and withdrew it's arms, legs, and head in to it's shell. The bulls ran over the turtle shell leaving a cloud of dust. Once the dust lifted Draceil came back out and roared triumphantly.
"YEAH! Way to go Draceil!!!" Max screamed.
"What do I do? My attack won't work!" Steve said panicky in to his headset.
"Use more power," came the respond through the headset.
"Tryhorn, charge!" Steve yelled as his blade starting glowing.
"What's it doing?" Tyson asked from the side.
"It's charging up its attack so that it's more powerful."
"Can Draceil handle it?"
"I...don't know." Dizzi responded.
"Draceil! Metal-ball defense!!!" Max yelled again. His blade did the same procedures as before and his blade managed to survive yet again.
"Gah!" Steve yelled irritated. Here he is wasting all his energy causing absolutely no damage to Draceil. "It's not working!"
"Way to go Max! You're wearing him down!" Kenny yelled from the sides.
"Tryhorn stampede attack!!!" Steve yelled yet again. Once again the heard of bulls appeared and started rampaging through the bowl, but this time they were much quicker so Max was unable to command his blade.
"Noooo, Draceil!" he yelled.
"Max you have to fight back!!!" Tyson yelled.
/But I'm using a defensive type blade. / Max thought as Draceil regained it's stability.
"Tryhorn!" Steve yelled once again as his bulls charged, and once again Max used Metal ball defense. It was looking like an endless cycle; Tryhorn attacks, Draceil defends, Tryhorn attacks, and Draceil defends once again.
Max started watching the blades carefully, and then he noticed something. When he used his defense he would have his blade stay still, and when Tryhorn hit it, Tryhorn would be thrown back. So what would happen if Max used it while moving?
"Draceil!" Max yelled and his blade started circling the dish. "Attack!!" he yelled." And his blade ran towards Tryhorn.
"Stampede Attack!"
"Metal ball defense!" Max yelled a split second before making contact. With the force and speed they both had headed towards one another, plus Max's impenetrable defense, Tryhorn was thrown from the bowl.
"And Max wins the battle!" Emily cheered, quickly blushing at her outburst as she quickly buried herself in the computer to find out why Tryhorn lost.
"Our next blader will be Eddy," Judy said, slightly surprised at her son's win against Steve.
"I am sooo ready!" Tyson yelled excitedly as he ran off to the stadium without any authorization. Leaving Kai to realize that he'd be battling Michael.
Michael realized this too and looked up at Kai who was glaring at him. All Michael could do was shiver from the icy cold glare.
"Three... two... one... let it rip!!!"
"Go Trypio!!!" Eddy yelled.
"Dragoon!"
"Remember Eddy, we can't lose again, or else we are out!" Judy said through her microphone.
"Yeah don't worry. I'll be spinning circle's around this kid!" he grinned. "Trypio-!!"
"Dragon Ice Breath!!!" Tyson yelled as the familiar blue beam of ice shot at Trypio before it could use its submission move Kenny had warned Tyson about during Max's battle.
"Arg! My blade!" Eddy's eyes widen as he saw his blade frozen to the ground. He could have gotten away if he wasn't talking to Judy, but nooooo, he had to chat and gloat.
"Who's spinning circle's around who?" Tyson laughed as he ordered Dragoon to circle for the hell of it.
"Emily what was that?" Judy asked.
"I don't know. It's just like Sora's attack. We can't get any information."
/Have they discovered a way to conceal their attacks from our computers? / Judy asked herself.
"Dragoon, finish it!" Tyson yelled as his blade smashed in to the ice ball in the stadium, sending it out.
"And Tyson wins the match... meaning... Bladebreakers win." Judy declared in disbelief.
Tyson started dancing as Dragoon did much the same in the stadium while Eddy picked up the chuck of ice that was his beyblade.
Michael then stood up and approached the stadium. Even though the Bladebreakers had won the match, it wasn't officially over until they played out the three rounds.
Kai approached too, glaring at Michael as much as he could. /Calm down Kai, you have to blade now. / he told himself.
"Kai. I need to tell you something-" Michael started, deciding it was time to come clean and tell Kai what really happen.
"I don't care what you have to say." Kai shot back venomously.
"Three... two... one... let it rip!!!"
"Dranzer!"
"Trygle!"
The two blades entered and Dranzer made the first attack, which narrowly hit Trygle.
"Kai! Just listen for one second! That morning after we spent the night-"
"Shut up and battle!" Kai roared back, refusing to listen to any nonsense during their match.
/ARG! Why won't he listen? Oh yeah! I kissed his girlfriend. / Michael kicked himself mentally. /But I have to tell him what happened. / "Kai. That morning I-"
"Dranzer fire arrow!" Kai yelled angrily.
"What's Kai doing?" Kenny asked. "He's fighting with pure rage. He isn't thinking. If he does that-"
"Trygle counter!" Michael sighed.
With that the battle was over and Dranzer was outside the stadium. Kai stared blankly at his blade.
"Kai listen to me for one minute. That morning-"
Kai ignored Michael once again as he turned his back on the boy and retrieved his blade.
"Good job you guys. I'm amazed that you could beat us." Eddy said with his hand out to the others, oblivious to what was going on between Michael and Kai.
"Yes. You were all surprisingly good. And I'm amazed at what a blader you have become Maxy!" Judy said giving her son a little hug.
"Ahhh shucks mom." Max blushed.
"Hey Kai! Where you going!?" Tyson yelled seeing Kai leaving the room without an answer. "Oh well. He's just being himself again I guess." Tyson sighed turning back to converse with the others.
Emily looked sternly at Michael, telling him to follow and to tell Kai what really happened that morning. Michael sighed and nodded as he re-adjusted his hat nervously and followed in the direction Kai has gone.
/Where did he go off to now? He seemed to have just disappeared. / Michael thought exiting the building and in to the parking lot where he heard a noise from around the corner. Upon further investigation he found Dranzer spinning and Kai watching.
"Kai!" Michael called approaching him.
"Leave. Me. Alone." The boy said coldly.
"Not until you listen to me."
"Why should I!!" Kai yelled.
"Because... because..." Michael stuttered under Kai's glare. "Sora didn't betray you. I kissed her." Michael finally blurted in one breath.
Kai just stood there studying Michael. "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because she loves you."
"Which is why she let you kiss her?" Kai laughed, to cover up any emotion that might have shown.
"No, but it is probably why she slapped me, and hard. I had a bruise for most of the week. It's pretty much gone now." Michael said pointing to the region on his face where he was slapped. Kai looked closer at his face, and indeed he did see a slightly darker spot.
Kai didn't know what to say or how to react. He just stood there gazing at nothing.
"Go... go talk to her." Michael said leaving.
* * *
Sora had just finished cooking the dinner. She had found a turkey in the freezer and figured if that didn't spell out victory, nothing did. So she cooked the turkey along with some vegetables and mash potato, and was now setting the table figuring that they would be back soon.
"Geez," she said, "finally done. That took longer I thought." She said placing the final fork on the table and went to the living room out of boredom. She lay down on the couch and flicked the television on to see if there was anything interesting on.
* * *
/So... I overreacted. / Kai concluded to himself, fiddling with Dranzer in his hand.
:: So now you can apologize! :: his subconscious chirped.
/She probably hates me now though. / he said with the urge to kick himself. He played out everything in the past week to himself. How he was a jerk and acting like a child by not talking to her. And then he remembered something. He threw away the necklace. /Damn!!!/ he yelled punching the concrete ground of the parking lot he was sitting on as he slumped back on to the wall.
:: So? Go get it! ::
/I left it in the park. Some brat probably picked it up or something. /
:: So what? Is that it? You're just going to give up without a fight. I'm ashamed to be you, Kai Hiwatari. ::
"Kai? Kai! There you are!" Ray said approaching Kai. "We're ready to go!"
"Yeah. Alright." Kai said getting up.
"You alright, Kai?" Ray asked, but Kai ignored him and headed to the bus. Once there he saw the All-Starz.
"Well, see you guys! See you at the Music Festival!" Emily waved.
"You bet!" Max smiled hopping on the bus after Tyson, who was eager to get on since he hadn't forgotten what Sora was doing back at the house all day; cooking dinner.
"Hurry up guys!!" Tyson whined loudly out the window.
"Tyson don't be rude." Kenny hissed from his seat on the bus.
"But I'm hungry and Sora's cooking dinner." Tyson sulked as the others just laughed at his enthusiasm.
After their good byes, the Bladebreakers finally headed on their way home. Kai once again at the back of the bus trying to figure out what he was going to do.
/I'm such a moron. I acted like such a kid. What am I suppose to do now? / he complained to himself but drew a blank.
:: Easy! Say 'Sora, I'm sorry. I'm a moron. A jerk. A -' ::
/ Thank you! You can stop now. / Kai growled as the bus pulled up to the large house and everyone disembarked, while Tyson nearly jumped out the window.
"Calm down Tyson!" The other's scolded as they were nearly taken off their feet when he shot by them.
"I can't! I can smell it!!" Tyson yelled running through the front door and to the dining table where everything was set out neatly, not that he noticed. The others followed as well and sat down to eat except Kai. He noticed that Sora wasn't there and went to look for her. He then heard the television on in the distant and so he headed for the living room.
There he saw her fast asleep on the couch and the television still on. He walked over to her and stared at her, trying to think of what he would tell her when she woke up. That is until Tyson called out.
"Kai!! Hurry up!! Your dinner is getting cold!!"
"And eaten!!" Max's voice followed.
"SHHHH!!" Tyson hissed loudly.
Sighing Kai grabbed a blanket and threw it softly over Sora and left to get his dinner. When he entered the dining room, Tyson's back was too him, so naturally, Tyson never saw him and continued his attack on Kai's plate with his fork. The whole table froze except for Tyson he was trying to eat the food as fast as possible.
Tyson soon noticed the silence surrounding him and waved his fork with Kai's potato on it while asking, "What?" but there was no response. It was then he noticed someone tapping him on the shoulder turning around he saw Kai looming over him and gulped nervously.
"Potato?" Tyson offered.
* * *
It's over. Well the chapter anyways. Thank god. I don't know why but I had SUCH a problem with this one. Anyways, there are probably two, maybe three chapters left. *Nods* Yep, that sounds right. Just running things through my head that's what it is.
Anyways, once again, I am soooooo incredible sorry. If I were you, I'd wanna kick my ass, but since I'm me... please don't? ^-^; lol. Anyways, it's getting late, and I am going to hope to get the next one out a hellava lot sooner then this one, especially since I have Easter next week *sighs contently*.

Violet Emeralds: LMAO! You gave me your review to me face-to-face, just like I gave you my response, lol.

Man, now I have to respond, lol. Should be fun. I was thinking about having her sing a sad song... but then I thought of a different scenario. She still sings, but... it isn't sad ^^ don't worry, you'll understand when you see the song. And I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the voice bit, lol. Awww, don't cry.

Reika Zelon: I'm glad you like Kai's 'mind reading' abilities. And I'm glad you think I can write serious. I find it hard to write serious after writing practically the whole story humorous, but whatever ^^
THANKS TO (in reply to Author notes):
Lady Sapphire: Thanks for understanding and yes, Math is a HUGE pain. We are in the same grade, but I'm not taking Gr. 11 math right now. I somehow managed to get myself in the Gr. 12 class. See, I'm semestered too, and I had Gr.11 in the first semester, and now Gr.12 in the second. The class makes no sense what so ever. You do stuff like... ummm, take a polynomial and divided by a monomial or binomial. It's no fun.
someguy: Thanks for the luck, I need it ^^; Oh, Spring Break! It's probably over now, ne? And snow? Heh, I got some here too. It's so weird. Usually I'm begging for the air conditioner by now, not the heater, lol. Yep, Easter is next week. *dances* I can get some of this done then, score! Heh, yeah there was a battle. Ohhhh, Windwaker! Is it good? I wanted to rent it, but been so busy with homework. Zelda's are so great *nods* Oh and hey, you got an account! ^^ You gonna try writing something? You should, I'll read it ^^
Achika: Thanks very much for the luck.
twilight knight: Thanks and *pictures the wondrous summer vacation* awww. Good luck in your tests and assignments too.

inugurl: Thanks for understanding.
Violet Emeralds: Yes I know. And I did write some, but I found that I did a lot of coughing and sneezing so I laid back now. But I'm good now, and look, I finished the chapter. ^^; Oh yeah, I also read the story you told me about by the newfie. Hehehe! I laughed so much. So, whadya at b'y? ^^

"Still? How is this possible? It's been a week since we've started to analysis this attack, this Pack attack. Why haven't we gotten any results?" Judy demanded, but the scientist merely shrugged. "Arg! Emily!?" she called.

"No. Nothing." Emily shook her head.
"We must hurry. We have to battle them soon."

"Man, it feels like I slept on a rock!" Tyson groaned opening his eyes and rubbing them. But it was so dark he couldn't see. "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Max, Ray, and Sora weren't long running in to the room to see what was up.
"TYSON!? What's wrong?" Max yelled.
"I'M BLIND!!!" he cried. "Everything's so dark! I can't see!"
The three looked at one another and then started snickering.
"Wh-what's so funny!" Tyson sniffed. "I'll never be able to see the blue sky, or green grass ever again. And it's going to make things a hell of a lot harder when blading."

"I-I-I CAN S-S-SEE!!!!!" Tyson rolled out from under the bed screaming, "Now let's go eat!"
"What about the blue sky and green grass?" Ray asked.
"Ah, that can wait! I'm hungry!" Tyson said running downstairs to the kitchen. Laughing they all followed.
As they entered the kitchen they could see that Tyson was already in the fridge humming away as he grabbed an assortment of things and laid them on the table.
"Anybody want some?" he offered.
"What are you making?" they asked.
"A 'Tyson Kinomiya Special'!" he smiled.
"Should I ask?" Max asked.
"If you don't I will." Ray replied.
Nodding Max asked, "Tyson, what's in this special?"
Tyson smiled ear-to-ear and said, "Potatoes, carrots, bread, ketchup, mustard, and maybe pickles. I'm still deciding on that one. I'm thinking it may make it taste a little funny. So... anybody want some?"
"As good as that sounds," Sora said in complete disgust, "I think I'll have some toast." She finished walking towards the toaster.
"Your loss!" Tyson chirped as he continued preparing a sandwich. "What about you two!" he asked finishing the sandwich and held it up to the other two boys. They both held their breath and shook their heads politely. "Well, okay!" Tyson said grinning as he left. /More for me!!! / He cheered inwardly at his success sitting himself in the living room to get some good wholesome television time in.
"So, today's your big match." Sora said popping the toast up and placing it on her plate.
"Sure is!" Ray smiled.
"Nervous?" She asked.
"Hardly!" Max grinned, while thinking /Hell ya! This is my last chance to prove to mom that I'm a world-class blader. /
"Hurry up! We have to go now." Kai voice sailed through the house, followed by a groan from the living room.
"You coming Sora?" Ray asked as he and Max headed for the front door.
Sora looked down pondering. If she did go, Kai might get distracted and lose the battle. She didn't want to be the cause of that.
"I'll stay and cook your victory dinner!" she said as cheerful as she could muster.
"Okay then!" Max smiled, flashing a victory 'V' on the way out.
"Sure you don't want to come?" Ray asked again, and Sora nodded. "Alright. See you later," Ray waved on his way out.
The five boys headed to the BBA research facility psyched. They were finally getting their rematch.
"Okay here's the plan. Since both Kai and Tyson's blades have those special powers, we'll have them go. The All-Starz are probably still trying to figure out Sora's attack," Kenny laughed to himself.
"Right Chief!" Tyson cheered excitedly. "But who will be the third blader?"
"Let me!" Max begged. "I lost last time. Please let me go again. I have to prove myself."
"Ray?"
"Hey, it's okay by me. Good luck Max!" Ray said.
The bus pulled up to the large complex and the Bladebreakers got off meeting the All-Starz.
"Hey guys!" Tyson waved.
"What took you so long?" Steve asked. "I was starting to think you wouldn't come." he smirked.
"Where's Sora?" Emily asked.
"She decided to stay behind and cook our VICTORY dinner!" Tyson grinned.
"Too bad there will be no victory for you," Steve smirked flashing his almighty blade.
The All-Starz left the Bladebreakers in a room and said that they had to get their blades.
"Welcome again Bladebreakers!" Judy smiled entering the room.
"Hey mom!" Max smiled. /I will finally be able to prove to you that I am a good blader! / Max cheered to himself.
"Hello Maxy," she smiled. "So, shall we get to the beystadium?"
They all nodded and followed Judy in to another room where the All-Starz stood.
"We will have a regular best two of three battles." Judy said and everyone nodded. "Alright then. Please send in your first blader."
"Good luck Max!" Tyson, Kenny, and Ray cheered from the sidelines.
"Nice cheerleaders! Not very cute though!" Steve laughed stepping up on the other side.
"Hmph! I'm as cute as they come!" Tyson called out.
"Three... two... one... let it rip!!!"
"Go Draceil!" Max yelled.
"Tryhorn!!"
The two blade's names were called as they hit the dish. Circling the dish with great speed Steve decided to make the first move.
"Tryhorn stampede attack!!" he yelled as a heard of rampaging bulls were seen coming out of the blade and rushing towards Draceil.
"Metal ball defense!!" Max yelled. His blade began to glow as his bit- beast emerged and withdrew it's arms, legs, and head in to it's shell. The bulls ran over the turtle shell leaving a cloud of dust. Once the dust lifted Draceil came back out and roared triumphantly.
"YEAH! Way to go Draceil!!!" Max screamed.
"What do I do? My attack won't work!" Steve said panicky in to his headset.
"Use more power," came the respond through the headset.
"Tryhorn, charge!" Steve yelled as his blade starting glowing.
"What's it doing?" Tyson asked from the side.
"It's charging up its attack so that it's more powerful."
"Can Draceil handle it?"
"I...don't know." Dizzi responded.
"Draceil! Metal-ball defense!!!" Max yelled again. His blade did the same procedures as before and his blade managed to survive yet again.
"Gah!" Steve yelled irritated. Here he is wasting all his energy causing absolutely no damage to Draceil. "It's not working!"
"Way to go Max! You're wearing him down!" Kenny yelled from the sides.
"Tryhorn stampede attack!!!" Steve yelled yet again. Once again the heard of bulls appeared and started rampaging through the bowl, but this time they were much quicker so Max was unable to command his blade.
"Noooo, Draceil!" he yelled.
"Max you have to fight back!!!" Tyson yelled.
/But I'm using a defensive type blade. / Max thought as Draceil regained it's stability.
"Tryhorn!" Steve yelled once again as his bulls charged, and once again Max used Metal ball defense. It was looking like an endless cycle; Tryhorn attacks, Draceil defends, Tryhorn attacks, and Draceil defends once again.
Max started watching the blades carefully, and then he noticed something. When he used his defense he would have his blade stay still, and when Tryhorn hit it, Tryhorn would be thrown back. So what would happen if Max used it while moving?
"Draceil!" Max yelled and his blade started circling the dish. "Attack!!" he yelled." And his blade ran towards Tryhorn.
"Stampede Attack!"
"Metal ball defense!" Max yelled a split second before making contact. With the force and speed they both had headed towards one another, plus Max's impenetrable defense, Tryhorn was thrown from the bowl.
"And Max wins the battle!" Emily cheered, quickly blushing at her outburst as she quickly buried herself in the computer to find out why Tryhorn lost.
"Our next blader will be Eddy," Judy said, slightly surprised at her son's win against Steve.
"I am sooo ready!" Tyson yelled excitedly as he ran off to the stadium without any authorization. Leaving Kai to realize that he'd be battling Michael.
Michael realized this too and looked up at Kai who was glaring at him. All Michael could do was shiver from the icy cold glare.
"Three... two... one... let it rip!!!"
"Go Trypio!!!" Eddy yelled.
"Dragoon!"
"Remember Eddy, we can't lose again, or else we are out!" Judy said through her microphone.
"Yeah don't worry. I'll be spinning circle's around this kid!" he grinned. "Trypio-!!"
"Dragon Ice Breath!!!" Tyson yelled as the familiar blue beam of ice shot at Trypio before it could use its submission move Kenny had warned Tyson about during Max's battle.
"Arg! My blade!" Eddy's eyes widen as he saw his blade frozen to the ground. He could have gotten away if he wasn't talking to Judy, but nooooo, he had to chat and gloat.
"Who's spinning circle's around who?" Tyson laughed as he ordered Dragoon to circle for the hell of it.
"Emily what was that?" Judy asked.
"I don't know. It's just like Sora's attack. We can't get any information."
/Have they discovered a way to conceal their attacks from our computers? / Judy asked herself.
"Dragoon, finish it!" Tyson yelled as his blade smashed in to the ice ball in the stadium, sending it out.
"And Tyson wins the match... meaning... Bladebreakers win." Judy declared in disbelief.
Tyson started dancing as Dragoon did much the same in the stadium while Eddy picked up the chuck of ice that was his beyblade.
Michael then stood up and approached the stadium. Even though the Bladebreakers had won the match, it wasn't officially over until they played out the three rounds.
Kai approached too, glaring at Michael as much as he could. /Calm down Kai, you have to blade now. / he told himself.
"Kai. I need to tell you something-" Michael started, deciding it was time to come clean and tell Kai what really happen.
"I don't care what you have to say." Kai shot back venomously.
"Three... two... one... let it rip!!!"
"Dranzer!"
"Trygle!"
The two blades entered and Dranzer made the first attack, which narrowly hit Trygle.
"Kai! Just listen for one second! That morning after we spent the night-"
"Shut up and battle!" Kai roared back, refusing to listen to any nonsense during their match.
/ARG! Why won't he listen? Oh yeah! I kissed his girlfriend. / Michael kicked himself mentally. /But I have to tell him what happened. / "Kai. That morning I-"
"Dranzer fire arrow!" Kai yelled angrily.
"What's Kai doing?" Kenny asked. "He's fighting with pure rage. He isn't thinking. If he does that-"
"Trygle counter!" Michael sighed.
With that the battle was over and Dranzer was outside the stadium. Kai stared blankly at his blade.
"Kai listen to me for one minute. That morning-"
Kai ignored Michael once again as he turned his back on the boy and retrieved his blade.
"Good job you guys. I'm amazed that you could beat us." Eddy said with his hand out to the others, oblivious to what was going on between Michael and Kai.
"Yes. You were all surprisingly good. And I'm amazed at what a blader you have become Maxy!" Judy said giving her son a little hug.
"Ahhh shucks mom." Max blushed.
"Hey Kai! Where you going!?" Tyson yelled seeing Kai leaving the room without an answer. "Oh well. He's just being himself again I guess." Tyson sighed turning back to converse with the others.
Emily looked sternly at Michael, telling him to follow and to tell Kai what really happened that morning. Michael sighed and nodded as he re-adjusted his hat nervously and followed in the direction Kai has gone.
/Where did he go off to now? He seemed to have just disappeared. / Michael thought exiting the building and in to the parking lot where he heard a noise from around the corner. Upon further investigation he found Dranzer spinning and Kai watching.
"Kai!" Michael called approaching him.
"Leave. Me. Alone." The boy said coldly.
"Not until you listen to me."
"Why should I!!" Kai yelled.
"Because... because..." Michael stuttered under Kai's glare. "Sora didn't betray you. I kissed her." Michael finally blurted in one breath.
Kai just stood there studying Michael. "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because she loves you."
"Which is why she let you kiss her?" Kai laughed, to cover up any emotion that might have shown.
"No, but it is probably why she slapped me, and hard. I had a bruise for most of the week. It's pretty much gone now." Michael said pointing to the region on his face where he was slapped. Kai looked closer at his face, and indeed he did see a slightly darker spot.
Kai didn't know what to say or how to react. He just stood there gazing at nothing.
"Go... go talk to her." Michael said leaving.
* * *
Sora had just finished cooking the dinner. She had found a turkey in the freezer and figured if that didn't spell out victory, nothing did. So she cooked the turkey along with some vegetables and mash potato, and was now setting the table figuring that they would be back soon.
"Geez," she said, "finally done. That took longer I thought." She said placing the final fork on the table and went to the living room out of boredom. She lay down on the couch and flicked the television on to see if there was anything interesting on.
* * *
/So... I overreacted. / Kai concluded to himself, fiddling with Dranzer in his hand.
:: So now you can apologize! :: his subconscious chirped.
/She probably hates me now though. / he said with the urge to kick himself. He played out everything in the past week to himself. How he was a jerk and acting like a child by not talking to her. And then he remembered something. He threw away the necklace. /Damn!!!/ he yelled punching the concrete ground of the parking lot he was sitting on as he slumped back on to the wall.
:: So? Go get it! ::
/I left it in the park. Some brat probably picked it up or something. /
:: So what? Is that it? You're just going to give up without a fight. I'm ashamed to be you, Kai Hiwatari. ::
"Kai? Kai! There you are!" Ray said approaching Kai. "We're ready to go!"
"Yeah. Alright." Kai said getting up.
"You alright, Kai?" Ray asked, but Kai ignored him and headed to the bus. Once there he saw the All-Starz.
"Well, see you guys! See you at the Music Festival!" Emily waved.
"You bet!" Max smiled hopping on the bus after Tyson, who was eager to get on since he hadn't forgotten what Sora was doing back at the house all day; cooking dinner.
"Hurry up guys!!" Tyson whined loudly out the window.
"Tyson don't be rude." Kenny hissed from his seat on the bus.
"But I'm hungry and Sora's cooking dinner." Tyson sulked as the others just laughed at his enthusiasm.
After their good byes, the Bladebreakers finally headed on their way home. Kai once again at the back of the bus trying to figure out what he was going to do.
/I'm such a moron. I acted like such a kid. What am I suppose to do now? / he complained to himself but drew a blank.
:: Easy! Say 'Sora, I'm sorry. I'm a moron. A jerk. A -' ::
/ Thank you! You can stop now. / Kai growled as the bus pulled up to the large house and everyone disembarked, while Tyson nearly jumped out the window.
"Calm down Tyson!" The other's scolded as they were nearly taken off their feet when he shot by them.
"I can't! I can smell it!!" Tyson yelled running through the front door and to the dining table where everything was set out neatly, not that he noticed. The others followed as well and sat down to eat except Kai. He noticed that Sora wasn't there and went to look for her. He then heard the television on in the distant and so he headed for the living room.
There he saw her fast asleep on the couch and the television still on. He walked over to her and stared at her, trying to think of what he would tell her when she woke up. That is until Tyson called out.
"Kai!! Hurry up!! Your dinner is getting cold!!"
"And eaten!!" Max's voice followed.
"SHHHH!!" Tyson hissed loudly.
Sighing Kai grabbed a blanket and threw it softly over Sora and left to get his dinner. When he entered the dining room, Tyson's back was too him, so naturally, Tyson never saw him and continued his attack on Kai's plate with his fork. The whole table froze except for Tyson he was trying to eat the food as fast as possible.
Tyson soon noticed the silence surrounding him and waved his fork with Kai's potato on it while asking, "What?" but there was no response. It was then he noticed someone tapping him on the shoulder turning around he saw Kai looming over him and gulped nervously.
"Potato?" Tyson offered.

It's over. Well the chapter anyways. Thank god. I don't know why but I had SUCH a problem with this one. Anyways, there are probably two, maybe three chapters left. *Nods* Yep, that sounds right. Just running things through my head that's what it is.
Anyways, once again, I am soooooo incredible sorry. If I were you, I'd wanna kick my ass, but since I'm me... please don't? ^-^; lol. Anyways, it's getting late, and I am going to hope to get the next one out a hellava lot sooner then this one, especially since I have Easter next week *sighs contently*.
Note: I'm doing two 'Thank you' parts, since I got responses to my evil Author's Note.

Violet Emeralds: LMAO! You gave me your review to me face-to-face, just like I gave you my response, lol. Yes you learn about my ideas sooner then anyone, but with the huge gap in my writing I have thought up new things and I don't know if I told you them. Guess that's the advantage off coming over to my place, lol. But hey, I've gotten sneak previews of yours ^^ Are you using your cell to read this? Lol
Nightswift: Kai and Sora weren't getting along, so I couldn't have them share a room. I mean, what kinda conversation would they have? Lol. Yeah, I'm in the group ^^ so is my cousin. The reply written above is to her.
someguy: OO Exactly how long did it take you to write that??? DUDE! It fits perfectly on my screen. I see your name at the very top and the last line you write at the very bottom. Man, now I have to respond, lol. Should be fun. I was thinking about having her sing a sad song... but then I thought of a different scenario. She still sings, but... it isn't sad ^^ don't worry, you'll understand when you see the song. And I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the voice bit, lol. Awww, don't cry. Yeah, it's almost over, but it's okay. After it's finish it will let me collect more ideas and make another story ^^ Yeah, I was talking about Aries. Meh, were softies.

Reika Zelon: I'm glad you like Kai's 'mind reading' abilities. And I'm glad you think I can write serious. I find it hard to write serious after writing practically the whole story humorous, but whatever ^^
THANKS TO (in reply to Author notes):
Lady Sapphire: Thanks for understanding and yes, Math is a HUGE pain. We are in the same grade, but I'm not taking Gr. 11 math right now. I somehow managed to get myself in the Gr. 12 class. See, I'm semestered too, and I had Gr.11 in the first semester, and now Gr.12 in the second. The class makes no sense what so ever. You do stuff like... ummm, take a polynomial and divided by a monomial or binomial. It's no fun.
someguy: Thanks for the luck, I need it ^^; Oh, Spring Break! It's probably over now, ne? And snow? Heh, I got some here too. It's so weird. Usually I'm begging for the air conditioner by now, not the heater, lol. Yep, Easter is next week. *dances* I can get some of this done then, score! Heh, yeah there was a battle. Ohhhh, Windwaker! Is it good? I wanted to rent it, but been so busy with homework. Zelda's are so great *nods* Oh and hey, you got an account! ^^ You gonna try writing something? You should, I'll read it ^^
Achika: Thanks very much for the luck.
twilight knight: Thanks and *pictures the wondrous summer vacation* awww. Good luck in your tests and assignments too.
ShadowDragon22: Seems like this is bad part of the year then. A lot of people seem to have lots of homework. Best of luck to you on yours.
inugurl: Thanks for understanding.
Violet Emeralds: Yes I know. And I did write some, but I found that I did a lot of coughing and sneezing so I laid back now. But I'm good now, and look, I finished the chapter. ^^; Oh yeah, I also read the story you told me about by the newfie. Hehehe! I laughed so much. So, whadya at b'y? ^^
DestinyBabee: Thank you very much.
Leina: Wow, exams next... er, last week? Mine are June, but I just had a week that felt like Exams. I had some test or quiz everyday last week. So anyways, hope you do wel... did well in your exams.
Reika Zelon: Thanks for the luck, encouragement, and understanding.
Once again, THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!
