Chapter 3 - The Mission

The night had swept across the horizon faster than anyone could of predicted. It dragged the flourescent, twinkling stars behind it, as the sky faded into it's ebony shade. Kai sat outside of the dorms, by the slide door, that led outside onto a small back garden type area. He gazed out into the ebony blackness above. The stars reflected in his eyes as he sat quietly, deep in thought. Nina had obviously thought he didn't pay much attention to her at Summer School, but he had indeed payed close attention to her. The only thing that bothered him was that Ray had attended the same school, and had gotten a lot closer to Nina, closer that Kai would ever get to anyone, and this frustrated him. "Why did she react like that?" he muttered as he cupped his chin into his hands, sighing heavily, he was tired, tired in more ways than one at that.

Tyson was sitting with the others inside the Blader Breakers room, he kept his eyes fixed on Ray, as though he was demanding an explanation for Kai's behaviour previously. Ray sighed and dragged his golden feline eyes in Tyson's direction. "I guess you wanna' know who Nina is right?" Ray asked rhetorically. Tyson nodded simply, shimming over to Ray so he could listen, without Kai hearing the conversation. Kai could be seen as the curtain blew sideways, the back of his figure visible barely, but he was still within ear shot, so Ray had to whisper. "Nina is that girl you saw earlier..." Ray said almost under his breath. Tyson frowned as he bobbed up and down impatiently, "I know that already, what's Kai's deal with her?!" he stated. "She went to Summer School with me and Kai, I'm guessing Kai likes her, but i don't think she likes Kai anymore, by the way she acted around him earlier" Ray explained as Tyson nodded slowly. Kai sighed, he had heard everything despite Ray's efforts to conceal the conversation.

Nina sat outside also, only she was sheltered from Kai by a small fence. Indigo and Clarity approached, "Thinking about Kaido?" Clarity teased. Nina waved her hand in frustration, "Actually yes i am, i think he might be the one we've been looking for, although my theories need testing of course...." Nina grinned at her idea that just popped forth. Nina had undergone a lot of changes in the last year, she had gotten a beyblade complete with her bit beast, and had trained ever since, she was determined to find Kai, and The Legendary Blader. Clarity and Indigo slid down either side of her, "Spill the dirt, what's your plan Nina?" Indigo asked, she lived to fight, which was obvious from her appearance. "We'll take him on in the tournament, if he wins then fine, but if that happens, we'll have to go to plan B" Nina chuckled. "Ooooo plan B huh" Clarity rubbed her hands together, "Kai's gonna be messed up....." Indigo added her final comment, laughing as she did so. "Dranzer is gonna be claimed...." Nina whispered once more. She then returned her gaze up to the stars, as they reflected in her misty eyes, illuminating her face, and making it appear to glow.
