Songtext: Sting - Desert Rose "Desert Rose "

Dranzer is back! But.......... When I look at my blade, the bit, its only the out line........ Could I finally be going mad?

/Master...... Kai, its me! Let me explain! Your not mad! Far from it, to save you I entered your body. I would have died with you than be left here without an owner!/ Dranzer exclaimed.

I didn't understand, it was too much for me to get round my head. Dranzer, my bit beast, my phoenix, was inside me? Can I continue to beyblade? Was that possible?

/You would have to train a bit first./ Dranzer informed me, listening to my thought's.

How? I asked, simple to asked.

/Take us to a bey-dish./ Was all Dranzer would say to me. And I did.

I was back in the warehouse where i used to rule with the Blade Sharks. I have to smirk when I remember those days, I was the king of beyblades, until Tyson showed up.

I stood ready to train, when I heard a voice, a voice I knew very well.

'Kai? Should you be out?' The blue eyes captured me, they were beautiful, nothing could describe them, topaz was as close as you could get to those beautiful eyes.

'Yes, I need to train,' I informed him.

'But your injured!' He exclaimed.

'I know Maxie, but I have to,' I said and realised my beyblade.

'Kai, Dranzer is gone,' Max informed me, but he could not read my mind.

/Dranzer!/

'Dranzer!' I yelled out, and my bit beast, my red phoenix came out into the dish. Max gasped, I didn't know why, Dranzer was back in action!

* I dream of rain, I dream of gardens in the desert sand, I wake in vain, I dream of love as time runs through my hand. *

Max asked that we visit Kenny and Dizzi, let them see what happened and check the data. I don't see why, but I went along with it anyway. Dranzer agreed.

/You know we don't have to go./ I told my phoenix.

/I think it would be wise to go, trust me./ Was all Dranzer would tell me.

And so I went, doing the exact same thing, only this time Dizzi was there and she recorded it all. We all watched and I saw what I did not see, what I could NOT see before. I called to Dranzer, and suddenly I gained a red aura, which then spread wings and ofcourse when out of me, if you wish to call it that, it was fully Dranzer. We watched it three times, none believing it was real, however Dizzi had decided that we were not going to blame it on her.

'How is that possible?' Max asked Dizzi.

'I have never heard of it before. Though I would think there would be a few problems with Dranzer remaining inside Kai,' Dizzi informed us all.

'How do you mean?' Kenny asked, a question I was about to ask.

'Simple, we are bit beast's, sacred spirits, we don't have a real body. If Dranzer should remain in your body Kai, he might never leave,' Dizzi informed me.

'Dranzer will leave when the time is right,' I said, automaticly. Why did I say that?

/You believe it./ Dranzer informed me.

'Ofcourse he will,' Max said.

I doubt if Dizzi was as positive as he was, or Kenny, if he was told what could happen. The danger's I would face if I did not free Dranzer, get him back into his own bit.

* I dream of fire, Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die, And near the flames, The shadows play in the shape of the man's desire, *

I wanted to train some more, I want to make sure that Dranzer is up to scratch now that he is inside me. But I don't want to leave Max alone right now. I haven't been around him, not for long, and ever since I got out I just wanted to be alone, mourn the lose of my phoenix. I have to make up for the lose of contact.

'Max?' I asked, walking next to the blonde hair one.

'Kai? You all right?' Max looked worried. I guess what happened to me scared him. I suppose I should be scared too.

'I'm fine Maxie,' I said, touching his cheek; 'I just wondered if you wanted to....... Hang out?'

I confess, I wasn't the type to ask this kind of question, once in a blue moon if the other's were here.

'Sure Kai,' Max said with a smile. A very cute smile if I do say so.

We never stayed in one spot, moving about, walking around the town. Relaxing in the park for an hour, watching kids beyblade. It was fun.

/Kai, would we be able to go home?/ Dranzer asked me.

I noticed the time, half six. Yea, we should go back.

* This desert rose, Whose shadow bears the secret promise, This desert flower, No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this,

And now she turns, This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams, This fire burns, I realize that nothing's as it seems, *

When we got home, after escorting Max to his home first, I sat down on the sofa and thought, and thought, and thought. Dranzer was my bit beast, my phoenix, a close compainion, and yet suppose there was a chance that he would not leave my body?

He could not hear these thought's, I managed to block him out of my thought's. There's only so much that I want him to hear, this was me thinking to myself. Why would Dranzer want to leave my body? He would be the first and most likely, last bit beast to enter a human body, he can experience things that no other bit beast could, he can feel, taste, things that other bit beasts don't have!

But if he did take over my body........ No, I doubt if Dranzer would take over my body, he is too polite to do such a thing without asking.

There's still that 'what if....'

* I dream of rain, I dream of gardens in the desert sand, I wake in vain, I dream of love as time runs through my hand,

I dream of rain, I lift my gaze to empty skies above, I close my eyes, The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love, *

What if, I hate those two words. A 50/50.

I walked outside to look at the sky, some clouds floated by, but the stars were out, as was the moon.

I would love to fly to them, fly in the sky. Be free I suppose, never have to worry about my dear old 'grandfather', just think about living.................

I lay on the grass, watching the stars, and the clouds float on by. I rarely do this you understand, but when i do, its relaxing, I forget everything, just the stars, the sky.............. I can picture Dranzer flying towards those stars, if he were ever free.

/Kai?/

/Yes Dranzer?/ I ask my bit beast.

/Are you all right?/ Dranzer asked, concern filtering through his voice.

/Ofcourse Dranzer./ I informed him.

I heard nothing but silence, and noticed that Dranzer place a block up. I stood up and went back inside, went to my room, never bothered to turn on the light, I knew this room too well to switch the light on.

I changed and got into bed. And slowly I drifted off to sleep.

* I dream of rain, I dream of gardens in the desert sand, I wake in vain, I dream of love as time runs through my hand, *

When i woke up, or so I thought, I found I was in a room of sorts. Not my bedroom, but something else. I noticed a note on the bed side table, I picked it up and read it, in disbelief I read it again.

To Kai I, Dranzer, have decided to see what it is like to be mortal, therefore I have taken over your body. It will only be for a time, I don't know how long, but I must see the world! Dranzer

I have to say, I never expected that from my phoenix. But now I am trapped in this place, what ever this place is................ And I don't like the fact that Dranzer never gave me a time! I could be an old man before he gives me back my body! And what of Max?

What will Dranzer do with my body?

* Sweet desert rose, Whose shadow bears the secret promise, This desert flower, No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this,

Sweet desert rose, This memory of hidden hearts and souls, This desert flower, This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love....... *
