Mizu_Tenshi: Does this story suck? Why don't I have a lot of reviews? And the writing before the
chapters…well I'm studying poetry in my school so these are just bits from my poems. I wrote up a
poem 'cos I couldn't find a song to fit with this fic.

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade but the song is mine so you can't sue me!

'Let her greet you with the rising sun, let her sing to you when the day is done. Let her kiss all your
tears, let her blow away your fears'

Chapter 4: Meet Minako

Kai wondered around the hotel, he was wearing the BBA coat not because he was cold but so he could
cover up his bandaged and bruised arms. He hoped he wouldn't run into one of his teammates, the last
thing he needed was one of them to start asking him a load of stupid questions.

"Kai…" Kai raised his head at the sound of his name being called. Ray was standing right in front of
him with a concerned look on his face. He mentally cursed himself for not being aware of the boy's
presence earlier, now he would be forced to answer all his annoying questions.

"What do you want Ray?" Kai gave the boy his most threatening glare in hopes of scaring him off but
the Chinese boy stood his ground.

"Are you okay? How did you do that?"

"I just tripped when I was practicing," Kai said and tried to pass but ray blocked his way.

"Oh, you just happened to trip for no reason?"

Kai mentally swore again, he should have come up with a more believable excuse. Tyson and Max
would have fallen for it but Ray knew him better than that, he knew he wasn't clumsy enough to just
trip.

"You didn't get into a fight did you?" Ray asked seriously.

"What is this, the Spanish inquisition?" Kai glared. "Don't you have somewhere else to be right now?"

"Oh, Ami!" Ray gasped and sped off.

'Ami?' Kai wondered. Probably some girl he had met.

(Ray's POV)

I ran as fast as I could, I couldn't believe that I forgot about our meeting! As I reach our meeting place I
smile slightly, she's still there!

"Sorry I'm late" I apologize.

"It's okay," she smiles, I'm glad she isn't mad at me.

"So, what do you want to do?" I ask her.

"Um…" She blushes, what does she want to say?

"Spit it out," I smile.

"It's stupid," she shakes her head.

"It can't be as stupid as some of the things Tyson wants to do," I laugh slightly remembering the time
Tyson spent all day trying to slice up meat with his beyblade.

"Um…well in that case do you want to go dance?"

I can't help but look shocked, dance? I haven't dance in ages but I agree anyway. (A.N. It's in Ray's
POV but the song is from Ami's perspective.)

~ On the dance floor ~

//I've never fallen in love before
And I don't think that there's a cure
What am I supposed to say?
To make this love go away//

There's a lot of people dancing here, does this hotel have everything? 'Fate plays with people's hearts' is
playing, Ami grabs my hand and pulls me onto the dance floor, I'm a bit surprised but we dance
anyway.

Wow, I didn't know she could dance so well. She looks up at me and for a minute I stare into her green
eyes but then she blushes and averts her gaze.

"It's really nice isn't it?" She asks. I'm not sure if she's talking about the song or the dance so I just nod.

//That meeting was so unreal
I just wanna tell you how I feel
But I just blush and look away
'Cos I can't find the words I wanna say//
"You're a Bladebreaker, right?" Ami asks. I nod. "That means you know Tori's brother, Kai, right?"

I think my jaw dropped but I quickly close it. Kai never told me he had a brother…but then again he
never says anything about his past. All he ever told me was about his grandfather and even then it
wasn't much.

"Err…I don't know, Kai never said anything about his past."

"Tori's my team captain, he wouldn't tell me much about Kai either but he said their meeting was very
eventful, that's his way of saying a lot happened but nothing went right." I listen intently as Ami talks, I
guess it's not that shocking that Kai's got a brother.

"I can't believe he would remember, especially after he lost most of his memory to Black Dranzer," I
mutter.

"What!" Ami asks.

Oh God, did I say that out loud? Kai would kill me if he had heard that. I shake my head and try to
persuade her to continue dancing but before I can I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. I turn around
and a grin instantly appears on my face.

//And then for a second we slowly parted
And now I'm back to where I started
Do you love her or do you love me?
Don't try to be kind just tell me honestly//

"Mariah!" I cry happily. "Ami, this is Mariah, she's one of my old teammates, Mariah this is Ami."

"It's a pleasure," Mariah smiles; I'm glad she's making friends. "Hey, Ray, how come you never dance
with me?" Mariah pouts playfully; she's so cute when she does that! Wait…did I just think that?

"Well in that case would you care for a dance?" I bow and kiss her hand playfully hearing her giggle
and blush; I'm about to continue when I spy Ami out of the corner of my eye looking slightly lonely.
"You don't mind, do you? I'm sure there's a lot of guys out there who've been dying to get a chance to
dance with you."

"No, I better get back," Ami shakes her head. "Thank you for the dance, it's been a real pleasure, you
too Mariah." With that she walks away, I'm not sure if I should go after her but I decide against it.

//I walk away from your smiles
'Cos that smile is for her you see
But I would walk a thousand miles
If you smiled just for me//

"Ray?" I turn to face Mariah as she whispers my name. "I'm just curious, she's just a friend, right?"

"Yeah," I nod and then smile. "So are we gonna dance or what?"

//That meeting was so unreal
I just wanna tell you how I feel
But I just blush and look away
'Cos I can't find the words I wanna say//

(General POV)

Kai walked around surveying the different battles, most are pretty boring and not very professional but
one battle caught his attention and he couldn't help but watch. The battle was between a redheaded girl
and a boy with blond hair.

"Okay, Vulpecula, attack with cunning force!" the boy screamed and a fox bitbeast emerged from his
blade and attacked the opponent. The girl's blade began to wobble a little.

"Meanie!" She cried.

'Is she four or fourteen?' Kai wondered as the girl began to wail.

"Usagi, teach that bully! Dizzy punch!" Her rabbit bitbeast emerged from her blade and attacked. The
rabbit threw the fox out of the dish and the boy's blade just wobbles to a stop.

"I was winning!" the boy moaned.

"The battle isn't over until it's over," the girl smirked. "While a battle is going anything can happen."
She turned to stare straight at Kai. "What are you staring at? Are you impressed with my awesome
bitbeast?"

"Not really," he answered with a hint of boredom in his voice.

"What happened there?" she pointed to the bruise on Kai's face. "Did you get beaten by a wittle kid?"

"That's none of your business!" Kai snapped.

"Then why don't you battle me?" she challenged.

"I've got better things to do."

"I think you're just scared! You should be since you're fighting Minako of the TerraBladers! I'm a
TerraBlader because I use earth elemental attacks, I can rip the floor from under your precious blade!"

Kai smirked slightly, what an amateur! She just gave away information on the kind of attack that her
team uses. Kai nodded, it would be fun to kick her ass!

"Good!" She raised her launcher. "3…2…1…Let it rip!" She pulled the ripcord and her blade went
flying into the dish. Both blades clashed and sparks began to fly from the two blades.

"Usagi! Earth rain!" Minako screamed and the rabbit emerged from the blade, rocks suddenly appeared
and flew towards Dranzer.

"Dodge it!" Kai yelled. The blade jumped and wobbled slightly in an effort to dodge the flying chunks
of earth.

"We've got him on the run! Earth rain!"

"Dranzer, incinerate those rocks, spin fire!" The phoenix rose in a red flash of light and attacked; the
boulders coming at it were burnt to a crisp. "Good, now attack!" Dranzer screeched its victory song and
attacked the white and black blade knocking it out of the dish.

"Wow!" Minako cried, picking up her beyblade. "Your bitbeast is so pretty! That was so cool, can you
teach me how to get so strong?"

"I don't have time for amateurs like you," Kai glared. "I was only battling you because Dranzer was
hungry for a battle."

"You mean you can sense what your bitbeast wants?" Minako looked starry eyed. "I thought a bitbeast
was just for fighting."

"That's a popular misconception." Kai answered why was he bothering to talk to her? "When you've
been blading for a long time your bitbeast becomes more than just an easy method of winning."

"I see," Minako said thoughtfully. This guy was smart and strong not to mention cute too (A.N. Sorry,
couldn't resist.) he seemed to have been blading for quite a long time too.

~ Terrabladers hotel room ~

(Ami's POV)

Mariah…I've been repeating that name over and over, why do I care? It's not like there's anything
between them and me for that matter. I sigh, what's wrong with me? Suddenly the door opens and Tori
walks in. Tori! Should I tell him what I heard off Ray? I completely forgot! Well he is Kai's brother so
I guess he deserves to know.

"Tori?" I ask meekly. I used to be really scared of Tori when I first met him, I still am a little frightened
but he did help me out a lot and he was nicer than Sam was. I began to tell him everything I had heard,
at the end he looked ready to kill someone, I quickly excused myself before anything could happen. As
I left the room I heard nothing but I knew that he would go after Voltaire for more answers.
