After Malik had gone to be with his boyfriend, I headed back to my room and
started working on my homework. I didn't feel like training that day,
because it would only serve to remind me of Bakura and his near death. I
had nearly killed my own darker half. The others thought I had tried to
kill him, but it was an accident. I didn't mean to nearly kill him as I was
trying to defend myself.
An hour later, I heard the sound of two people coming towards the house. The sounds of keys could be heard, followed by the door being unlocked. I glanced up from where I was working to find Wing and her yami walking into their house. They both wore serious expressions on their faces, when they saw me.
"We saw your yami," Wing spoke softly. She moved over towards me. Her backpack found its way to the floor. "He was in critical condition but stable. We managed to heal him, but we didn't heal him all the way, because it would look very suspicious."
"Thank you," I said gratefully "I think I need to learn how to control my emotions and power before I continue training."
"That would be a good thing," DS said from behind her hikari. "We will teach you how to control your powers."
"There's something else, isn't there?" Wing said softly. She had a concerned look on her face. Dang, she was observant like her boyfriend.
"There is," I sighed. "I don't know how to act around the others when they hate my guts. I don't know my feelings towards my yami. I don't know how I'm going to be able to control my powers and not let something like this happen again."
"That's a lot," Wing said. "No wonder you're stressed out. Don't worry about controlling your powers. We'll work on it. As for the others, they will come around eventually. You've been friends for a long time. I'm afraid you're on your own with your feelings for your yami, but DS and I will be around if you need any advice or someone to talk to, though DS isn't the touchy feely type of person."
"You got that right," DS said. "Don't expect me be your shoulder to cry on. If you need someone to be beaten up or anything like that, I'll be more than gladly to help."
"I think I have enough of the physical violence department," I said, trying not to sound offensive. After all, she had more experience than I do with her magic. I started learning recently. "But thanks for offering."
"No problem," her yami said, before disappearing into her soul room.
"Where are you going?" I asked, when Wing had started walking away.
"I'm going to train," she replied. "I would have asked you to join me, but I can tell that you're too upset and that it would only remind you of what you nearly did."
"You can tell by looking?" I asked questioningly.
"I'm observant," Wing said. "I tend to look beyond appearances."
"That is a good skill to have," I said, to which she nodded her head. "I noticed that about your boyfriend."
"Yeah, he's observant too," she said thoughtfully. "We're similar in several ways."
"Don't you have homework to do?" I asked.
"I'm finished with it," Wing replied. "I finished my homework ahead of time. Remember, I sometimes work ahead."
"Oh yeah," I said. She turned around and left, leaving me deep in my own thoughts. "There has to be something that I can do other than homework." I had finished the homework that was due tomorrow and the day after. Maybe I could start on the stuff that was going to be due on Monday, but our teachers haven't assigned us anything yet. Knowing them, I knew that we were going to be receiving more than we normally do as we had a long weekend.
I picked up my books and folders, before heading towards my room. Taking my laptop out of my bag, I plugged the modem into the phone outlet and logged onto the internet. My instant messenger screen name was Ring_Boy. Can you guess where I received that name? It wasn't hard to figure out. When I logged on, I noticed that Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Tea were online. They must have been chatting among themselves when I logged on. I didn't even bother trying to contact them as they most likely had blocked me. I also noticed that my other online buddies were on.
Laptop_Boy: Hi, Ryou.
Ring_Boy: Who is this?
Laptop_Boy: This is Kenny.
DizzMaster: Don't forget about your bit beast.
Laptop_Boy: Oh and Dizzi's here.
Ring_Boy: I see. What are you doing online?
Laptop_Boy: We're checking out our competition and doing research for my project. How about you?
Ring_Boy: I needed something to do and I didn't feel like training with Wing.
Laptop_Boy: Ah, I see. *invites you to join him in Beyblade chatroom*
NekoRay: Hi guys, what's up?
Laptop_Boy: Hi, Ray.
NekoRay: Who's him?
Ring_Boy: I thought you would have known after the several training sessions we've been through.
NekoRay: Ryou?
Ring_Boy: I don't think there is anyone else who has a cursed ring.
NekoRay: Oh. I'll have to add you to my buddy list.
Ring_Boy: Same here. I wonder why we didn't bother exchanging our IM names.
NekoRay: *shrugs* Maybe we didn't know that the others had IM names.
Ring_Boy: Do your team mates have IM screen names?
NekoRay: They do.
Storm_Dragoon has entered the room.
Storm_Dragoon: Hi there.
Ring_Boy: Hi, Tyson. I didn't know you could use a computer.
Storm_Dragoon: -_________-;;;; I'm not that stupid.
Ring_Boy: I wasn't saying that.
NekoRay: *whistles innocently*
Storm_Dragoon: Not you too Ray!!!
Laptop_Boy: *sweatdrops*
Storm_Dragoon: I'm glad that Kai isn't around.
Ice_Blader has entered the room.
Ice_Blader: Who are all of you?
Storm_Dragoon: You're not Kai, are you?
Ice_Blader: No.
Storm_Dragoon: Good. I'm Tyson from the Bladebreakers.
Ice_Blader: ........
Laptop_Boy: Hi Tala.
Ice_Blader: How do you know it's me?
Laptop_Boy: For one thing, I traced back your signal to Russia, more specifically the Abbey. Second, out of all the bit beasts you demolition boys have, Wolborg is the only one who uses ice as its element.
Ice_Blader: That does make sense. So I can assume that NekoRay is Ray?
NekoRay: Pretty much.
Ice_Blader: Laptop_Boy is Kenny?
Laptop_Boy: Yeah. The others should be coming shortly if they are coming. I don't know about the others, but since Tyson was here early, I can assume they will be. Don't ask.
Storm_Dragoon: What is that suppose to mean?
Laptop_Boy: Did I not just say 'don't ask'?
Storm_Dragoon: Oh yeah. XP
Ring_Boy: Who's Tala and the Demolition Boys?
Ice_Blader: I'm Tala, the team captain of the Demolition Boys. We're the Russian beyblading team.
Ring_Boy: Oh, I see.
Ice_Blader: Who are you?
Ring_Boy: I'm a friend of the Bladebreakers.
Death_Scythe has entered the room.
Death_Scythe: Hello.
Ring_Boy: Hi DS.
Ice_Blader: Who's DS?
NekoRay: She's Kai's girlfriend.
Ice_Blader: *falls anime style* Kai has a girlfriend?
Storm_Dragoon: I know the feeling. That's how I reacted when they broke the news to us. I never thought that Kai would be interested in anything other than beyblading.
Ring_Boy: It goes to show you that we don't know everything about each other.
Death_Scythe: I can agree with that. I'll go as far as saying that we don't know much about ourselves. Sometimes, we can surprise ourselves with our abilities.
Ring_Boy: I know what you mean.
Storm_Dragoon: Same here.
DizzMaster: Oh, so leave me to do all the research while you chat with your buddies?
Laptop_Boy: Sorry about that Dizzi. I'll get back to. I may not respond right away, but I'll try to keep up with the conversation.
Storm_Dragoon: That's okay chief.
KingofGames has entered the room.
KingofGames: Hi. Could anyone here help me with beyblading?
Ice_Blader: Maybe.
Storm_Dragoon: That isn't nice, Tala.
Ice_Blader: Can it Tyson!
Storm_Dragoon: XD Make me.
Ice_Blader: I'll be more than gladly to.
Death_Scythe: -____________- Boys. KingofGames: Lareina?
Death_Scythe: Yes, big brother?
KingofGames: O_o Shouldn't you be doing something else?
Death_Scythe: I'm a big girl. I think I can handle this.
Ring_Boy: No comments.
NekoRay: The peanut gallery has decided to stay quiet.
Ice_Blader: Peanut gallery?
KingofGames: That's what I'd like to know.
NekoRay: It's just an expression.
Ice_Blader: Oh.
Storm_Dragoon: Even I knew that.
KingofGames: Who's Ring_Boy?
Ice_Blader: He said he was a friend of the Bladebreakers.
Ring_Boy: Not saying.
KingofGames: Ryou????
Ring_Boy: ................
KingofGames: I'll take it as a yes. Do you know what you did to your yami?
Ice_Blader: What's a yami?
NekoRay: We'll explain it later to you.
Death_Scythe: Much later. You can e-mail any of us if you want a thorough description.
Ice_Blader: Sure.
Ring_Boy: Yes, I am very aware what I did to him and I did NOT do it intentionally like what you all think.
KingofGames: How do I know that?
NekoRay: Because you never gave him a chance to explain himself without accusing him.
KingofGames: I didn't ask you.
Death_Scythe: Watch it, Yami.
KingofGames: Fine.
Death_Scythe: Does your aibou know you're online?
KingofGames: Yes, he does. He's finishing his homework right now and I was trying to research beyblading.
Egyptian_Child has entered the room.
Kawaii_Puppy has entered the room.
Egyptian_Child: Hi everyone.
Kawaii_Puppy: Wow, there's a lot of peeps here.
Storm_Dragoon: Yep, we're very popular.
Ice_Blader: You wish, Tyson.
Storm_Dragon: As I recalled, I defeated you during the Russian tournament.
Ice_Blader: Whatever.
Egyptian_Child: So that takes care of that. Who are the rest of you?
KingofGames: I thought you would have known me.
Egyptian_Child: Yugi or Yami?
KingofGames: Yami, Yugi has his own screen name.
Egyptian_Child: Oh. DS is Death_Scythe?
Death_Scythe: Why do you think I abbreviate my name?
Kawaii_Puppy: So you don't scare people when you meet them?
Death_Scythe: One of the reasons.
Ring_Boy: Or you don't want people to think you're a murderer.
Death_Scythe: That too.
Egyptian_Child: Yami, Ryou didn't mean to hurt Bakura. I had a long conversation with him and now I understand why he did the things he did.
KingofGames: ..... We'll have to talk about it later.
Laptop_Boy: Did I miss anything?
KingofGames: Who are you?
Laptop_Boy: Kenny.
KingofGames: Oh.
Egyptian_Child: You didn't miss much. A few more people entered the room, including myself.
Laptop_Boy: That's good. For once, Tyson isn't the last person in chat.
Storm_Dragon: HEY!!!
Ice_Blader: ???????
NekoRay: Normally, Tyson is the last person to log in. Kai's the first person, but I guess he is either training or completely forgot about it.
Kawaii_Puppy: I don't think Kai forgot about it.
Storm_Dragoon: That isn't like him.
Laptop_Boy: Yeah, he's usually the responsible type.
KingofGames: He'd better keep his hands off my little sister.
Egyptian_Child: Don't tell me Joey's rubbing off on you?
Laptop_Boy: ??????
Ice_Blader: ???????
Storm_Dragoon: ?????
Kawaii_Puppy: ?????
Egyptian_Child: Well, Joey is extremely overprotective of his little sister. Tristan has been trying to date Serenity without getting beaten up by her older brother. Often, we have to separate them.
Ice_Blader: I'm glad I'm not in his position.
Storm_Dragoon: You're telling me. I wouldn't want to be in his position, especially if he decides to propose to her.
KingofGames: SAY WHAT!!!!!
Kawaii_Puppy: Relax Yami. He's not going to marry her in the near future.
Ring_Boy: It took him awhile to start dating DS.
Death_Scythe: After all the hints I had been dropping, you would think he'd get the hint.
KingofGames: He'd better not do anything to you or he'll find himself in the shadow realm permanently.
Ice_Blader: What's the shadow realm?
Laptop_Boy: Trust us. You don't want to know.
Ice_Blader: Oh okay.
DizzMaster: Yeah, you seriously don't want to know or ever go there.
Egyptian_Boy: I was there once and it wasn't pretty at all.
Sugar_High has entered the room.
Sugar_High: Hiyas!
KingofGames: Hi Joey.
Egyptian_Boy: *rolls eyes*
Sugar_High: Whatever Malik. So what's everyone talking about?
Ring_Boy: Nothing much.
Sugar_High: Ryou?
Ring_Boy: What do you think, Einstein?
KingofGames: I think your yami has been rubbing off on you lately.
Ring_Boy: You think?
KingofGames: I would say so.
Egyptian_Boy: I also agree. He has been rubbing off on you.
Sugar_High: Do you..
Egyptian_Boy: *thwacks Sugar_High with his millennium rod*
Sugar_High: !!!! OW!!!! What was dat for?
Egyptian_Boy: That was for being an insensitive jerk.
KingofGames: *sighs*
Ice_Blader: Somehow, I think I'm missing something here.
Storm_Dragoon: Join the club. I have no idea what they're talking about. Chief?
Laptop_Boy: Don't look at me.
Kawaii_Puppy: Ray?
NekoRay: You think I know something?
Death_Scythe: Just drop it. It's hard to explain over the net.
Ice_Blader: Okay.
Sugar_High: Who's he?
Ice_Blader: *bangs his head against the wall* I'm Tala, captain of the Demolition Boys.
Sugar_High: Oh, the Russian beyblading team.
Ice_Blader: You know about us?
Sugar_High: I read the newspaper.
Egyptian_Boy: You read a newspaper?
Sugar_High: Yes, I do.
Egyptian_Boy: I wouldn't have guessed.
Death_Scythe: People are full of surprises.
Ring_Boy: I know the feeling.
Sugar_High: So what are we talking about?
Ice_Blader: Duh. It's the name of the chat room.
Sugar_High: I knew that.
KingofGames: Sure you do Joey.
Dancer_Extraordinaire has entered the room.
Dancer_ Extraordinaire: What's up?
Sugar_High: NM.
Ice_Blader: Who invited her?
Dancer_Extraordinaire: That was rude of you, whoever you are. You should know that friends......
Dancer_Extraorindaire has been kicked out of the room.
KingofGames: *blink blink*
Laptop_Boy: She's annoying.
DizzMaster: You got that right. I can't stand her even online. How do you put up with her?
KingofGames: *shrugs*
Egyptian_Boy: A patient hikari? I know I'm on the verge of strangling her.
Death_Scythe: I wish I could banish her to the shadow realm, but my hikari wouldn't let me. She says that it is cruel and unusual punishment; whatever that is.
Ice_Blader: *shrugs* If you don't want her around, maybe my team mates and I could use her for target practice. Ian's aim has been off and Spencer needs to work on his attacks. They have been getting sloppy. Bryan needs a good workout, especially his bit beast. I could also use some training.
Storm_Dragoon: You and Kai are so much alike. You train too much.
Ice_Blader: That was how we were raised.
KingofGames: I know what you mean. My parents made me train with my duel monsters and practice magic in addition to being taught how to be a royal prince. It was a nightmare.
Ice_Blader: Huh?
Laptop_Boy: We'll explain it to you later.
Death_Scythe: I wonder how the other hikaris are doing.
Ring_Boy: *shrugs* Probably doing their homework.
Egyptian_Boy: I know some people haven't done their homework and are currently online.
Sugar_High: *whistles innocently*
Ring_Boy: Go figure.
KingofGames: I should have known. JOEY!!! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!
Sugar_High: Sheesh, I'll get it done. No need to yell Yami.
DarkMagician has entered the room.
Silver_Falcon has entered the room.
DarkMagician: Hi people.
Silver_Falcon: Whassup peeps?
DarkMagician: Who are all of you?
Silver_Falcon: How about we call out our name?
Egyptian_Boy: Sounds fine with me. Malik.
Sugar_High: Joey.
Kawaii_Puppy: Max.
NekoRay: Ray.
DarkMagician: Yugi.
KingofGames: Yami.
Laptop_Boy: Kenny.
Storm_Dragoon: Tyson.
DizzMaster: Dizzi.
Silver_Falcon: Wingzero.
Death_Scythe: DS.
Ice_Blader: Tala.
Ring_Boy: Ryou.
DarkMagician: RYOU?????
Ring_Boy: You were expecting Frodo Baggins?
Silver_Falcon: Good one Ryou.
DarkMagician: No.
KingofGames: We'll talk about it later. The internet is not a good place for that type of conversation.
Silver_Falcon: You could say that again.
Ice_Blader: Would someone fill me in on what's going on?
KingofGames: This does not concern you.
Ice_Blader: Oh okay. Is there some sort of dissension among the ranks?
Storm_Dragoon: Huh?
Sugar_High: Wha?
Laptop_Boy: You can say that again. We're going to have the problem resolved.
Ring_Boy: Hopefully.
KingofGames: I'm sure we'll find a solution.
Dancer_Etraordinaire has entered the room.
Dancer_Extraordinaire: My computer must be malfunctioning, because I got kicked out of this chat room.
DarkMagician: Oh, I wonder why.
Laptop_Boy: Dizzi?
DizzMaster: On it. *has kicked Dancer_Extraordinaire out of the room and banned her from entering* That should take care of her.
DarkMagician: Good, I had a bad day already.
KingofGames: So we all don't like her?
Silver_Falcon: I love her as much as I love liver.
Death_Scythe: Now that's a statement.
Sugar_High: Count me in. I HATE liver.
Storm_Dragoon: I wouldn't touch that stuff even if it was the last food on the planet.
NekoRay: Now there's a statement.
SuperSaiyin3 has entered the room.
SuperSaiyan3: Hi. Has anyone seen a flying child around here?
NekoRay: O_o Um no.
DarkMagician: Flying?
Storm_Dragoon: ?_? how can a child fly?
Laptop_Boy: That defies the laws of nature.
NekoRay: So does our bit beasts.
Laptop_Boy: Oh yeah.
Death_Scythe: *shrugs* I wouldn't know.
SuperSaiyan3: Thanks anyways.
Silver_Falcon: We'll let you and Chi Chi know if we find Goten.
SuperSaiyan3: Thank you. She'll be furious at him for not going to bed on time.
Silver_Falcon: Heh. Before you go, how is Trunks and Gohan?
SuperSaiyan3: Trunks is getting a workout from his father. Gohan has been hitting the books, though I managed to let him train with me. After the Majin Buu incident, Chi Chi isn't too lenient about his studies.
Silver_Falcon: That's good to hear. Bye.
SuperSaiyan3: Bye.
SuperSaiyan3 has exited the room.
Ice_Blader: Who was that?
Silver_Falcon: That was Goku.
NekoRay: That guy can eat more than Tyson.
Storm_Dragoon: He's not kidding. I thought I ate a lot, but he eats even more than I do.
Sugar_High: Wow, I would have never thought someone could eat more than us.
Laptop_Boy: They have higher metabolisms, which require more energy to sustain.
DarkMagician: I wouldn't want to be the chef.
Ring_Boy: Neither would I. You need an army of chefs to keep them fed. It's even worse when all of them are there.
OneandOnly has entered the room.
OneandOnly: Hi.
Silver_Falcon: Hi Kaiba.
OneandOnly: Who are you?
Kawaii_Puppy: Here we go again.
OneandOnly: Joey?
Kawaii_Puppy: No, I'm Max.
OneandOnly: Pegasus?
Kawaii_Puppy: *falls anime style* Max from the Bladebreakers.
OneandOnly: Oh. Who are the others?
Silver_Falcon: Egyptian is Malik, Laptop is Kenny, Storm is Tyson, Dizz is Dizzi, Death is DS, Ice is Tala, King is Yami, Dark is Yugi, Ring is Ryou, and I'm Wing.
OneandOnly: So Joey isn't here.
Silver_Falcon: I forgot about him.
Sugar_High: How could you forget about me?
Silver_Falcon: I did.
Ice_Blader: *chuckles*
Sugar_High: HEY!!!
DarkMagician: Lol.
Sugar_High: Fine be that way.
Ice_Blader: I have to go. See ya.
Ice_Blader has exited the room.
DarkMagician: He's strange.
Ring_Boy: And we aren't?
DarkMagician: Point taken.
Sugar_High: Crap. I gotta finish my homework or I'll end up with another week of detention. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Sugar_High has exited the room.
DarkMagician: Great. I have to cook dinner.
DarkMagician has exited the room.
KingofGames: I'll go help him.
Ring_Boy: Or make out with him.
KingofGames: Your yami has been really rubbing off on you.
Ring_Boy: I'm sure he'll be proud of it when he returns.
KingofGames has exited the room.
Egyptian_Boy: Now, I have to get off. Sis wants me off. -_____-;;;; Can't she see I'm trying to make friends?
Silver_Falcon: I know what you mean. I'll see you in school.
Egyptian_Boy has exited the room.
OneandOnly has exited the room.
Ring_Boy: Wow, that was a lot of people.
NekoRay: You're telling me.
Storm_Dragoon: Oh look, here comes sour puss. We'll be off training.
Storm_Dragoon has exited the room.
Kawaii_Puppy has exited the room.
NekoRay has exited the room.
DizzMaster has exited the room.
Laptop_Boy has exited the room.
Silver_Falcon: no point in us staying here. Let's go.
Death_Scythe: Yeah, we're all in the same house.
Silver_Falcon has exited the room.
Death_Scythe has exited the room.
Ring_Boy has exited the room.
Dancer_Extraordinaire has entered the room.
Dancer_Extraordinaire: Where is everyone?
DS: That was a lame chapter.
Wingzero: HEY!!!! It was the best I could do, considering all the moving and packing.
Ray: You're moving?
Wingzero: My college has summer housing in a different apartment area so I have to pack everything and move it there.
DS: Right.
Wingzero: Anyways, I have an anime Yahoo group. If you want to join, drop me a line. Nekowingzero@yahoo.com or you can IM me.
Kai: How come I wasn't in this?
Wingzero: I couldn't think of a good screen name for you.
Tala: Wooooooo. I was in this!
Kai: I loathe you.
Goku: I was in it too!!!
Kai: --UUU What does a guy have to do to get attention?
DS: *whispers something in Kai's ears*
Kai: *turns red*
Wingzero: I'm not going to even ask.
Ray: I don't even want to know.
Everyone: Ja!
An hour later, I heard the sound of two people coming towards the house. The sounds of keys could be heard, followed by the door being unlocked. I glanced up from where I was working to find Wing and her yami walking into their house. They both wore serious expressions on their faces, when they saw me.
"We saw your yami," Wing spoke softly. She moved over towards me. Her backpack found its way to the floor. "He was in critical condition but stable. We managed to heal him, but we didn't heal him all the way, because it would look very suspicious."

"You got that right," DS said. "Don't expect me be your shoulder to cry on. If you need someone to be beaten up or anything like that, I'll be more than gladly to help."
"I think I have enough of the physical violence department," I said, trying not to sound offensive. After all, she had more experience than I do with her magic. I started learning recently. "But thanks for offering."
"No problem," her yami said, before disappearing into her soul room.
"Where are you going?" I asked, when Wing had started walking away.
"I'm going to train," she replied. "I would have asked you to join me, but I can tell that you're too upset and that it would only remind you of what you nearly did."
"You can tell by looking?" I asked questioningly.
"I'm observant," Wing said. "I tend to look beyond appearances."
"That is a good skill to have," I said, to which she nodded her head. "I noticed that about your boyfriend."
"Yeah, he's observant too," she said thoughtfully. "We're similar in several ways."
"Don't you have homework to do?" I asked.
"I'm finished with it," Wing replied. "I finished my homework ahead of time. Remember, I sometimes work ahead."
"Oh yeah," I said. She turned around and left, leaving me deep in my own thoughts. "There has to be something that I can do other than homework." I had finished the homework that was due tomorrow and the day after. Maybe I could start on the stuff that was going to be due on Monday, but our teachers haven't assigned us anything yet. Knowing them, I knew that we were going to be receiving more than we normally do as we had a long weekend.

Laptop_Boy: This is Kenny.
DizzMaster: Don't forget about your bit beast.
Laptop_Boy: Oh and Dizzi's here.
Ring_Boy: I see. What are you doing online?
Laptop_Boy: We're checking out our competition and doing research for my project. How about you?
Ring_Boy: I needed something to do and I didn't feel like training with Wing.
Laptop_Boy: Ah, I see. *invites you to join him in Beyblade chatroom*
NekoRay: Hi guys, what's up?
Laptop_Boy: Hi, Ray.
NekoRay: Who's him?

Storm_Dragoon: -_________-;;;; I'm not that stupid.
Ring_Boy: I wasn't saying that.
NekoRay: *whistles innocently*

Storm_Dragoon: I'm glad that Kai isn't around.
Ice_Blader has entered the room.
Ice_Blader: Who are all of you?
Storm_Dragoon: You're not Kai, are you?
Ice_Blader: No.
Storm_Dragoon: Good. I'm Tyson from the Bladebreakers.
Ice_Blader: ........
Laptop_Boy: Hi Tala.
Ice_Blader: How do you know it's me?
Laptop_Boy: For one thing, I traced back your signal to Russia, more specifically the Abbey. Second, out of all the bit beasts you demolition boys have, Wolborg is the only one who uses ice as its element.
Ice_Blader: That does make sense. So I can assume that NekoRay is Ray?

Storm_Dragoon: Oh yeah. XP
Ring_Boy: Who's Tala and the Demolition Boys?
Ice_Blader: I'm Tala, the team captain of the Demolition Boys. We're the Russian beyblading team.
Ring_Boy: Oh, I see.
Ice_Blader: Who are you?
Ring_Boy: I'm a friend of the Bladebreakers.
Death_Scythe has entered the room.
Death_Scythe: Hello.
Ring_Boy: Hi DS.
Ice_Blader: Who's DS?
NekoRay: She's Kai's girlfriend.
Ice_Blader: *falls anime style* Kai has a girlfriend?
Storm_Dragoon: I know the feeling. That's how I reacted when they broke the news to us. I never thought that Kai would be interested in anything other than beyblading.
Ring_Boy: It goes to show you that we don't know everything about each other.
Death_Scythe: I can agree with that. I'll go as far as saying that we don't know much about ourselves. Sometimes, we can surprise ourselves with our abilities.
Ring_Boy: I know what you mean.
Storm_Dragoon: Same here.
DizzMaster: Oh, so leave me to do all the research while you chat with your buddies?
Laptop_Boy: Sorry about that Dizzi. I'll get back to. I may not respond right away, but I'll try to keep up with the conversation.
Storm_Dragoon: That's okay chief.
KingofGames has entered the room.
KingofGames: Hi. Could anyone here help me with beyblading?
Ice_Blader: Maybe.
Storm_Dragoon: That isn't nice, Tala.
Ice_Blader: Can it Tyson!
Storm_Dragoon: XD Make me.
Ice_Blader: I'll be more than gladly to.
Death_Scythe: -____________- Boys. KingofGames: Lareina?
Death_Scythe: Yes, big brother?
KingofGames: O_o Shouldn't you be doing something else?
Death_Scythe: I'm a big girl. I think I can handle this.
Ring_Boy: No comments.
NekoRay: The peanut gallery has decided to stay quiet.
Ice_Blader: Peanut gallery?
KingofGames: That's what I'd like to know.
NekoRay: It's just an expression.
Ice_Blader: Oh.
Storm_Dragoon: Even I knew that.
KingofGames: Who's Ring_Boy?
Ice_Blader: He said he was a friend of the Bladebreakers.
Ring_Boy: Not saying.
KingofGames: Ryou????
Ring_Boy: ................
KingofGames: I'll take it as a yes. Do you know what you did to your yami?
Ice_Blader: What's a yami?
NekoRay: We'll explain it later to you.
Death_Scythe: Much later. You can e-mail any of us if you want a thorough description.
Ice_Blader: Sure.
Ring_Boy: Yes, I am very aware what I did to him and I did NOT do it intentionally like what you all think.
KingofGames: How do I know that?
NekoRay: Because you never gave him a chance to explain himself without accusing him.
KingofGames: I didn't ask you.
Death_Scythe: Watch it, Yami.
KingofGames: Fine.
Death_Scythe: Does your aibou know you're online?
KingofGames: Yes, he does. He's finishing his homework right now and I was trying to research beyblading.
Egyptian_Child has entered the room.
Kawaii_Puppy has entered the room.
Egyptian_Child: Hi everyone.
Kawaii_Puppy: Wow, there's a lot of peeps here.
Storm_Dragoon: Yep, we're very popular.
Ice_Blader: You wish, Tyson.
Storm_Dragon: As I recalled, I defeated you during the Russian tournament.
Ice_Blader: Whatever.
Egyptian_Child: So that takes care of that. Who are the rest of you?
KingofGames: I thought you would have known me.
Egyptian_Child: Yugi or Yami?
KingofGames: Yami, Yugi has his own screen name.
Egyptian_Child: Oh. DS is Death_Scythe?
Death_Scythe: Why do you think I abbreviate my name?
Kawaii_Puppy: So you don't scare people when you meet them?
Death_Scythe: One of the reasons.
Ring_Boy: Or you don't want people to think you're a murderer.
Death_Scythe: That too.
Egyptian_Child: Yami, Ryou didn't mean to hurt Bakura. I had a long conversation with him and now I understand why he did the things he did.
KingofGames: ..... We'll have to talk about it later.
Laptop_Boy: Did I miss anything?
KingofGames: Who are you?
Laptop_Boy: Kenny.
KingofGames: Oh.
Egyptian_Child: You didn't miss much. A few more people entered the room, including myself.
Laptop_Boy: That's good. For once, Tyson isn't the last person in chat.
Storm_Dragon: HEY!!!
Ice_Blader: ???????
NekoRay: Normally, Tyson is the last person to log in. Kai's the first person, but I guess he is either training or completely forgot about it.
Kawaii_Puppy: I don't think Kai forgot about it.
Storm_Dragoon: That isn't like him.
Laptop_Boy: Yeah, he's usually the responsible type.
KingofGames: He'd better keep his hands off my little sister.
Egyptian_Child: Don't tell me Joey's rubbing off on you?
Laptop_Boy: ??????
Ice_Blader: ???????
Storm_Dragoon: ?????
Kawaii_Puppy: ?????
Egyptian_Child: Well, Joey is extremely overprotective of his little sister. Tristan has been trying to date Serenity without getting beaten up by her older brother. Often, we have to separate them.
Ice_Blader: I'm glad I'm not in his position.
Storm_Dragoon: You're telling me. I wouldn't want to be in his position, especially if he decides to propose to her.
KingofGames: SAY WHAT!!!!!
Kawaii_Puppy: Relax Yami. He's not going to marry her in the near future.
Ring_Boy: It took him awhile to start dating DS.
Death_Scythe: After all the hints I had been dropping, you would think he'd get the hint.
KingofGames: He'd better not do anything to you or he'll find himself in the shadow realm permanently.
Ice_Blader: What's the shadow realm?
Laptop_Boy: Trust us. You don't want to know.
Ice_Blader: Oh okay.
DizzMaster: Yeah, you seriously don't want to know or ever go there.
Egyptian_Boy: I was there once and it wasn't pretty at all.
Sugar_High has entered the room.
Sugar_High: Hiyas!
KingofGames: Hi Joey.
Egyptian_Boy: *rolls eyes*
Sugar_High: Whatever Malik. So what's everyone talking about?
Ring_Boy: Nothing much.
Sugar_High: Ryou?
Ring_Boy: What do you think, Einstein?
KingofGames: I think your yami has been rubbing off on you lately.
Ring_Boy: You think?
KingofGames: I would say so.
Egyptian_Boy: I also agree. He has been rubbing off on you.
Sugar_High: Do you..
Egyptian_Boy: *thwacks Sugar_High with his millennium rod*
Sugar_High: !!!! OW!!!! What was dat for?
Egyptian_Boy: That was for being an insensitive jerk.
KingofGames: *sighs*
Ice_Blader: Somehow, I think I'm missing something here.
Storm_Dragoon: Join the club. I have no idea what they're talking about. Chief?
Laptop_Boy: Don't look at me.
Kawaii_Puppy: Ray?
NekoRay: You think I know something?
Death_Scythe: Just drop it. It's hard to explain over the net.
Ice_Blader: Okay.
Sugar_High: Who's he?
Ice_Blader: *bangs his head against the wall* I'm Tala, captain of the Demolition Boys.
Sugar_High: Oh, the Russian beyblading team.
Ice_Blader: You know about us?
Sugar_High: I read the newspaper.
Egyptian_Boy: You read a newspaper?
Sugar_High: Yes, I do.
Egyptian_Boy: I wouldn't have guessed.
Death_Scythe: People are full of surprises.
Ring_Boy: I know the feeling.
Sugar_High: So what are we talking about?
Ice_Blader: Duh. It's the name of the chat room.
Sugar_High: I knew that.
KingofGames: Sure you do Joey.
Dancer_Extraordinaire has entered the room.
Dancer_ Extraordinaire: What's up?
Sugar_High: NM.
Ice_Blader: Who invited her?
Dancer_Extraordinaire: That was rude of you, whoever you are. You should know that friends......
Dancer_Extraorindaire has been kicked out of the room.
KingofGames: *blink blink*
Laptop_Boy: She's annoying.
DizzMaster: You got that right. I can't stand her even online. How do you put up with her?
KingofGames: *shrugs*
Egyptian_Boy: A patient hikari? I know I'm on the verge of strangling her.
Death_Scythe: I wish I could banish her to the shadow realm, but my hikari wouldn't let me. She says that it is cruel and unusual punishment; whatever that is.
Ice_Blader: *shrugs* If you don't want her around, maybe my team mates and I could use her for target practice. Ian's aim has been off and Spencer needs to work on his attacks. They have been getting sloppy. Bryan needs a good workout, especially his bit beast. I could also use some training.
Storm_Dragoon: You and Kai are so much alike. You train too much.
Ice_Blader: That was how we were raised.
KingofGames: I know what you mean. My parents made me train with my duel monsters and practice magic in addition to being taught how to be a royal prince. It was a nightmare.
Ice_Blader: Huh?
Laptop_Boy: We'll explain it to you later.
Death_Scythe: I wonder how the other hikaris are doing.
Ring_Boy: *shrugs* Probably doing their homework.
Egyptian_Boy: I know some people haven't done their homework and are currently online.
Sugar_High: *whistles innocently*
Ring_Boy: Go figure.
KingofGames: I should have known. JOEY!!! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!
Sugar_High: Sheesh, I'll get it done. No need to yell Yami.
DarkMagician has entered the room.
Silver_Falcon has entered the room.
DarkMagician: Hi people.
Silver_Falcon: Whassup peeps?
DarkMagician: Who are all of you?
Silver_Falcon: How about we call out our name?
Egyptian_Boy: Sounds fine with me. Malik.
Sugar_High: Joey.
Kawaii_Puppy: Max.
NekoRay: Ray.
DarkMagician: Yugi.
KingofGames: Yami.
Laptop_Boy: Kenny.
Storm_Dragoon: Tyson.
DizzMaster: Dizzi.
Silver_Falcon: Wingzero.
Death_Scythe: DS.
Ice_Blader: Tala.
Ring_Boy: Ryou.
DarkMagician: RYOU?????
Ring_Boy: You were expecting Frodo Baggins?
Silver_Falcon: Good one Ryou.
DarkMagician: No.
KingofGames: We'll talk about it later. The internet is not a good place for that type of conversation.
Silver_Falcon: You could say that again.
Ice_Blader: Would someone fill me in on what's going on?
KingofGames: This does not concern you.
Ice_Blader: Oh okay. Is there some sort of dissension among the ranks?
Storm_Dragoon: Huh?
Sugar_High: Wha?
Laptop_Boy: You can say that again. We're going to have the problem resolved.
Ring_Boy: Hopefully.
KingofGames: I'm sure we'll find a solution.
Dancer_Etraordinaire has entered the room.
Dancer_Extraordinaire: My computer must be malfunctioning, because I got kicked out of this chat room.
DarkMagician: Oh, I wonder why.
Laptop_Boy: Dizzi?
DizzMaster: On it. *has kicked Dancer_Extraordinaire out of the room and banned her from entering* That should take care of her.
DarkMagician: Good, I had a bad day already.
KingofGames: So we all don't like her?
Silver_Falcon: I love her as much as I love liver.
Death_Scythe: Now that's a statement.
Sugar_High: Count me in. I HATE liver.
Storm_Dragoon: I wouldn't touch that stuff even if it was the last food on the planet.
NekoRay: Now there's a statement.
SuperSaiyin3 has entered the room.
SuperSaiyan3: Hi. Has anyone seen a flying child around here?
NekoRay: O_o Um no.
DarkMagician: Flying?
Storm_Dragoon: ?_? how can a child fly?
Laptop_Boy: That defies the laws of nature.
NekoRay: So does our bit beasts.
Laptop_Boy: Oh yeah.
Death_Scythe: *shrugs* I wouldn't know.
SuperSaiyan3: Thanks anyways.
Silver_Falcon: We'll let you and Chi Chi know if we find Goten.
SuperSaiyan3: Thank you. She'll be furious at him for not going to bed on time.
Silver_Falcon: Heh. Before you go, how is Trunks and Gohan?
SuperSaiyan3: Trunks is getting a workout from his father. Gohan has been hitting the books, though I managed to let him train with me. After the Majin Buu incident, Chi Chi isn't too lenient about his studies.
Silver_Falcon: That's good to hear. Bye.
SuperSaiyan3: Bye.
SuperSaiyan3 has exited the room.
Ice_Blader: Who was that?
Silver_Falcon: That was Goku.
NekoRay: That guy can eat more than Tyson.
Storm_Dragoon: He's not kidding. I thought I ate a lot, but he eats even more than I do.
Sugar_High: Wow, I would have never thought someone could eat more than us.
Laptop_Boy: They have higher metabolisms, which require more energy to sustain.
DarkMagician: I wouldn't want to be the chef.
Ring_Boy: Neither would I. You need an army of chefs to keep them fed. It's even worse when all of them are there.
OneandOnly has entered the room.
OneandOnly: Hi.
Silver_Falcon: Hi Kaiba.
OneandOnly: Who are you?
Kawaii_Puppy: Here we go again.
OneandOnly: Joey?
Kawaii_Puppy: No, I'm Max.
OneandOnly: Pegasus?
Kawaii_Puppy: *falls anime style* Max from the Bladebreakers.
OneandOnly: Oh. Who are the others?
Silver_Falcon: Egyptian is Malik, Laptop is Kenny, Storm is Tyson, Dizz is Dizzi, Death is DS, Ice is Tala, King is Yami, Dark is Yugi, Ring is Ryou, and I'm Wing.
OneandOnly: So Joey isn't here.
Silver_Falcon: I forgot about him.
Sugar_High: How could you forget about me?
Silver_Falcon: I did.
Ice_Blader: *chuckles*
Sugar_High: HEY!!!
DarkMagician: Lol.
Sugar_High: Fine be that way.
Ice_Blader: I have to go. See ya.
Ice_Blader has exited the room.
DarkMagician: He's strange.
Ring_Boy: And we aren't?
DarkMagician: Point taken.
Sugar_High: Crap. I gotta finish my homework or I'll end up with another week of detention. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Sugar_High has exited the room.
DarkMagician: Great. I have to cook dinner.
DarkMagician has exited the room.
KingofGames: I'll go help him.
Ring_Boy: Or make out with him.
KingofGames: Your yami has been really rubbing off on you.
Ring_Boy: I'm sure he'll be proud of it when he returns.
KingofGames has exited the room.
Egyptian_Boy: Now, I have to get off. Sis wants me off. -_____-;;;; Can't she see I'm trying to make friends?
Silver_Falcon: I know what you mean. I'll see you in school.
Egyptian_Boy has exited the room.
OneandOnly has exited the room.
Ring_Boy: Wow, that was a lot of people.
NekoRay: You're telling me.
Storm_Dragoon: Oh look, here comes sour puss. We'll be off training.
Storm_Dragoon has exited the room.
Kawaii_Puppy has exited the room.
NekoRay has exited the room.
DizzMaster has exited the room.
Laptop_Boy has exited the room.
Silver_Falcon: no point in us staying here. Let's go.
Death_Scythe: Yeah, we're all in the same house.
Silver_Falcon has exited the room.
Death_Scythe has exited the room.
Ring_Boy has exited the room.
Dancer_Extraordinaire has entered the room.
Dancer_Extraordinaire: Where is everyone?
DS: That was a lame chapter.
Wingzero: HEY!!!! It was the best I could do, considering all the moving and packing.
Ray: You're moving?
Wingzero: My college has summer housing in a different apartment area so I have to pack everything and move it there.
DS: Right.
Wingzero: Anyways, I have an anime Yahoo group. If you want to join, drop me a line. Nekowingzero@yahoo.com or you can IM me.
Kai: How come I wasn't in this?
Wingzero: I couldn't think of a good screen name for you.
Tala: Wooooooo. I was in this!
Kai: I loathe you.
Goku: I was in it too!!!
Kai: --UUU What does a guy have to do to get attention?
DS: *whispers something in Kai's ears*
Kai: *turns red*
Wingzero: I'm not going to even ask.
Ray: I don't even want to know.
Everyone: Ja!
