* Cough * home sick today, so I'll update. ^_^ Thanks for all the reviews. Oh, and I was planning on making this Kai/Rei, so for all of you that wanted it, it'll come in later chapters.
"3…2…1…GO!"
Kai launched his Beyblade as he heard the count down. Dranzer started off quickly, much faster than Kai's opponent, who looked like he was already having a few doubts. Kai decided to toy with the guy a little, see what he was capable of, so he stayed away from the other Beyblade.
"Hm." The leader looked up. "Running away again, huh? Is that all your good at?"
Kai smirked. "No. I'm just gaining speed. I'm going to knock you out. Dranzer! Finish this!"
Right away, his Beyblade shot off at full speed, Dranzer appearing, toward his opponent. The power guy never even had a chance. As soon as contact was made, the gang leaders Beyblade went flying. It missed the guy's head by about two inches, smashing into the wall behind him, and creaking in half.
Kai smirked as his Beyblade shoot back into his hand. The gang leader looked stunned amazed that he could have been beaten.
"How…no way." He gasped.
The sound of someone clapping caught the boy's attention. Kai turned to find a man wearing very aristocratic clothing walking into the ally, applauding them. The gang members all gasped when they saw him.
"Lord…Lord Phoen." The leader whispered, obviously in awe. Kai frowned. Who was this guy?
"Very good match." The man said, stepping up to Kai. "I'm very impressed."
Kai didn't answer. He really didn't know what to say.
The man smiled. "Why don't you come with me? We'll do some talking."
Kai shook his head. "No thanks. I have better stuff to do."
The gang leader looked furious. "How dare you say that to Lord Phoen?! He's not only the leader of this town, he has the best Beyblade team ever, the Phoenixes!"
Kai glanced back. "I heard you mention them before."
The man laughed. "Why don't you come, and I'll tell you all about my Phoenixes?"
Kai considered. He might as well. After all, what did he have to lose?
* * *
Kai stared up at the building the man had led him to in surprise. It was huge and fancy looking, with a high wall surrounding the grounds. "It's like a palace or something." He mumbled.
The man, who introduced himself as Lord Phoen, laughed. "It's not like a palace, it is a palace."
Kai glanced at him. "Isn't it a bit much for a Beyblade team?"
"Oh, they aren't just a Beyblade team." Lord Phoen said as he led them through the front gates. The two walked through the lush, pretty ground, heading toward the main building. Once there, the Lord called to a guy with short blonde hair, and ushered Kai into a sitting room.
"So what's the deal with this Phoenix team?" Kai asked when they were all seated. He wanted to learn about this place as quickly as possible.
The Lord smiled. "First, let me introduce you to my second in command." He gestured to the other man. "This is Grotto. He helps me run the Phoen territory."
Kai blinked, "that doesn't explain much." He said, and the two men laughed.
"The Phoenix team is a team of elite Beybladers. They live and train here, and compete in tournaments all over the world to earn money for the city. But they are much more than that." Phoen said.
"They are also protectors of this entire region." Grotto said.
"How can a bunch of Beybladers protect a region?" Kai said, these guys weren't making a lot of sense.
"Well, they don't protect the region with their beyblades." Phoen said. "The outskirts of this town tend to be very dangerous. The team protects it using their swords and their bitbeasts."
"A bitbeast isn't only good for beyblading." Grotto continued. "If you use it properly, you can harness that power for other things."
"The swords we use are very strong, but they can only support a phoenix bitbeast. Hence, we are the Phoenix team." Phoen said.
"And what does that have to do with me?" Kai asked.
"We have been looking for a new member for quite sometime. We think you might be the one we need." Grotto said.
Phoen agreed. "Your bitbeast, Dranzer is it, is a fire phoenix, correct?"
Kai was slightly confused. "Aren't all phoenixes fire?"
"Oh, no." Grotto said. "We have a wind phoenix, a water phoenix, and an snow phoenix here."
"It will be difficult at first," Phoen said. "But we think you can handle it."
Kai leaned back, crossing his arms. "All right. I'll join. But with no guarantees I'll stay."
Phoen smiled and stood. "That's all we needed. Come, let me introduce you to the other members of the team."
* * *
Kai looked at the two boys standing in front of him, two of the other members. They both looked to be about his age, but Kai wondered if they would all get along.
"Kai, this is Cent and Meil." Phoen said. Cent had long black hair that reminded Kai sharply of Rei, while Meil had spiky blue hair.
Cent and Meil both greeted him. "So I hear your pretty good." Cent said, "I look forward to seeing you blade."
Kai nodded, he show them soon enough. Grotto came running up. "I can't find Bastet." He said, and Phoen shook his head.
"That's not surprising." He said with a small smile.
Kai frowned. Who was this Bastet person? Meil seemed to know what he was thinking. "Bastet is our other member. She has an ice phoenix." He said.
"It's a SNOW phoenix." A voice said. Everyone turned to look to find a girl with long black and silver hair sitting in the tree above them. She jumped down, and Phoen smiled.
"Nice of you to join us, Bastet." He said.
Bastet smiled. "I need a new sword." She said.
Grotto practically jumped on her. "Don't tell me you broke another one! You're not getting a new one!"
Bastet smiled. "So you don't mind if I go into town and buy a new one?" she said innocently. And Grotto sighed.
"You aren't going anywhere."
"Great! Then lets go get me a new sword." She said, walking away. Grotto followed, mumbling something under his breath.
Phoen laughed. "That would be Bastet."
Cent nudged Kai, getting his attention. "Just a tip." He whispered. "Don't try to get with Bastet. It could mess up the team."
Kai ignored him. He couldn't care less about Bastet. His mind was more focused on a certain black haired boy he had left behind at home.
"Come on, Kai. I'll show you your room."
I hoped you enjoyed. And don't worry; there will be NO romance involving Bastet. This is a KAI/REI fic. ^_^ leave a review.
