A tense silence spread through the children in the practically empty school hall. For the longest time, nobody moved.
"Erm… Can someone please break the tense silence here people?" Dizzi asked.
"Well." Ray said, picking up his Beyblade. "It was a good fight, I didn't expect your Bit-Beast to be that strong."
"Your Drigger was pretty tough too." Chelsie said, picking up her Beyblade and putting it in her pocket.
"Um…" Ray said, searching frantically for the right words. "Do you wan--"
"Oh, there you guys are." Fiona said, as she and Julie walked into the hall. Julie carrying a small black box like thing which she held in her hand..
"Hi!" Max said, as he and Eve jumped down from where they were sat. "What you got there Julz?"
"Oh, this?" Julie said. "This. Is a digital video camera which we borrowed from the art room." She said, holding it up. "Smile Max. It's recording!"
Max smiled and made a peace sign with his two fingers. Tyson pushed his head down and also made the peace sign. Julie swung the camera round to see Ray and Chelsie, who were laughing and giving each other sideways glances. She moved the camera again to Angie, who was waving frantically and Eve who was holding her head in her hands, she mouthed 'Help me!' to Julie.
"Kai!" Julie said, trying to get Kai's attention. He looked up. Julie handed the camera over to Fiona and ran over to Kai, she sat down beside him. "You have that look in your eyes." Julie said. "You wanna talk?"
Kai nodded. "Just not here."
"You guys can go battle or something." Julie called over to the others. "I'm going to get something."
She got up, and walked out of the hall, Kai followed. She lead him outside, and sat on a school bench. "What is it that you want to talk about?"
"Something has been bugging me, something at the back of my mind, something I'm almost scared to confront."
"You? Surely not?" Julie said, sounding a little shocked.
"It's... About… I sound so foolish." Kai said.
"You've felt this way before?"
Kai nodded again. "I've been having weird dreams, they seem so real. Even though that's impossible."
"Why?"
"Well, because Dranzer was there."
"He's always been there. Hasn't he?"
"Yeah, but he was flesh and blood." Kai argued.
"Just because you can't see him, doesn't mean he isn't there. But, being Flesh and blood, that's something completely different." Julie said, resting a finger on the bridge of her nose. "What did you see?"
"Darkness… Then a strange light, then I saw Drakuio." Kai pondered on whether or not to tell Julie that she was in his dream. "He said, 'A secret, another side, another story.' "
"He did?"
Kai nodded slowly. Maybe he should have told Julie the truth, he didn't mind lying to his team mates, he would have just told them it was none of their business. But, Julie. Well, it was something about the way she looked at him, something that told him she knew he was lying. Though, she said nothing.
"I wonder…" Julie thought aloud.
"Pardon?"
"You've never been fully understood. Have you?"
"Probably not." Kai said, folding his arms, and staring into the unclouded blueness of the midday sky.
"Me either, I sometimes burst into song without warning!" Julie said, jumping up. "I laugh myself to sleep, I do all kinds of crazy things, but, you only get to live once." She turned to face Kai. "Right?"
"Suppose." Kai grunted.
"Why haven't you ever let go and done something completely uncalled for!? I have!" Julie said, her grin widening.
"Not really." Kai said, shaking his head, and putting on his thinking face. He stood up. "To change the subject completely. Eve said something about you five becoming a team."
"Ah… Yes." Julie said, the smile fading from her face. "Well, I'm not so sure about that."
"Why not?" Kai asked.
"I don't want to put them in danger, really. I don't."
"They can handle themselves." Kai argued, irritated by Julie's concern. "A true Beyblader must rise above the weak, why do you hang around with them? They're not as strong as you are, not by a long shot."
"Because… They're my friends…" Julie said, she looked a little hurt by this.
"I'm… Sorry." Kai said.
"Don't be," she said, sitting back down. "I know, it's just…I guess this would happen sooner or later." She sighed. "As you know, my parents and sister were killed by that man who shot me a few days ago."
Kai nodded.
"I told you that, but I never told you, why."
