Chapter Two - Before Is Now.......

Nina walked through the corridors that lay beside the arena of the Tahjmahal Stadium. She was accompanied by two other girls that were rather punkish looking. The one was a very tall, muscular looking girl, she wore black hot pants with fishnet tights and heavy black boots, as well as a dreary grey coloured shirt, she had long, flared black hair that was tucked under a earthy green ski cap. The other one was of the same size as Nina, she had two front bangs that framed her face and the rest of it stood on end, in a ruffled spiked shape. She wore a black halter top with a white cross on it and musty grey jeans that were rolled up to her knees.

Kai was with the Blade Breakers, he sat in a corner of the locker room, he and his "team mates" were scheduled for practice in mere moments. Ray brushed his messy raven bangs from his golden eyes, as he glanced at Kai every so often. Kai returned his glance with a heavy glare, he was getting more and more irritated as the day went on. The same words rang throughout his now clouded mind. The fact that Ray had said he would see Nina, but where...she wasn't a beyblader. The door swung open as the tall, muscular gothic girl hammered her way into the locker room, slamming down a gym bag onto one of the wooden benches placed throughout the sweaty smelling room. Kai shot her a glance as he returned his gaze to the floor, closing his eyes, as he seemed to go into a state of light meditation. "Now now Indigo, you need to learn some self control....."spoke a rather pleasant voice, that was no doubt directed to the gothic girl. Kai's eyes opened slowly at the sound of the voice, it swooped softly through his mind, he knew that voice. He caught a glimpse of a white, pink striped minnie skirt swagger past his face, and a slender wrist hand by the side of it.

Kai's reaction to this shocked not only the girl's team mates but The Blader Breakers also. He grabbed her wrist, and glared up at her, his assumption was correct, it was Nina Himura. "Excuse me....let go..."Nina frowned. The girl with violet spikey hair intervened, prying Kai of Nina's wrist. "Looks like there's someone else who needs to learn self control..." she added, running her fingers through her violet mane. Nina grinned and looked at her team mate, "Thanks Clarity, but I know this guy...". Nina folded her arms. She looked at Kai with a rather annoyed expression as she placed her bag in a locker loosely, slamming it as she left the room. Indigo and Clarity followed, waving sarcastically at Kai, as they left the room. Kai sighed heavily clenching his fists, he stood up sharply, and slammed his fist into one of the lockers behind him, in shear rage. Ray stood up but before he could say anything Kai interrupted, "Just shut up...aight!?" he glared at Ray storming out of the room, through the opposite door that lead into the dorms. Tyson interrupted, "What's his problem?" he asked a rather blank expression sweeping across him. Ray shook his head sighing, "It's Nina....". Tyson raised an eyebrow, "Nina?....you mean that was all over a girl?" Tyson continued, Ray nodded quietly.

They couldn't believe that Kai would actually react over something like that. Indigo and Clarity's blades fought in the training dish. As Nina slumped against the wall thinking and not really paying attention to the fight. She couldn't help but think about Kai. Her eyes lit up, as a sudden thought just came to her, "What if Kai's the legendary Blader we were sent to find...." she muttered under her breath so no one could hear her.
