ME: Hi again everyone.

TYSON: Oh great she's back.

KAI: Oh joy.

REI: Oh come on guys. She really isn't that bad.

TYSON: She hasn't done a fic about you yet.

KAI: Yeah. You'll change your mind when she does.

ME: Don't be mean. My fics aren't that bad. And besides, I'm still trying to
finish off Tyson's one. I have writers block and my Mom's depriving me of the
coke, that usually cures it.

KENNY: It also makes her hyper.

MAX: Yeah, she's evil when she's hyper.

ME: But that's when I get my best ideas. Thanks to all my reviewers.

MAX: Lady Blade Warangel does not own BeyBlade.

ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.

Chapter 9 - Setting Off For The Asian Tournament.

The day before they were due to set off for China. Kim and Lexx exchanged
birthday gifts. Lexx gave Kim an odd looking seashell. It was bright blue. "I
got it when I found Drindell. I thought it was perfect for you." Lexx said.
"Thanks so much Lexx. This must mean a lot to you." Kim said. Kim gave Lexx a
neclace. It was two halves of a circle. If you put it together, you could see
an engraved star with an eye in the middle. "You keep one half, and I'll keep
the other half. That way we'll always have something to remind us of our
friendship." Kim said. The two hugged. They truly had become the best of
friends, and being a part of the same BeyBlading team didn't make them hate
each other any less.

Kim had been nominated to be team captain, because she was the oldest. Lexx
would take over if she got sick. Jiro, Taro, Judy and Tai made up the rest of #
the team. Ro was their technician. The next day, they all got on the plane
for China, and the Asia tournament.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they finally got to China they went to the BeyBlade team hostals. They
all sat around the living room, while Mr Dickenson explained the new rules of
the tournament. "Now kids. First of all, there are five matches. You must win
the best three out of five, just as the old rules said that you had to win
the best two out of three. When you get to the finals you will have three
battles, per match. The best two of three, wins the match." Mr Dickenson
said.

"So what you're saying, is that I could win my matches, and Tai could win
his, but if Judy and Taro lost their matches, then we wouldn't advance." Jiro
said. "That's about right." Mr Dickenson said. Jiro nodded. Kim was sat with
her arms crossed over her chest. She was wearing her blue armguards, blue
jeans and a black-leather, vest-top that laced up at the front. She was also
wearing black ankle boots. Her hair was loose down her back. She listened
intently as Mr Dickenson explained the rules to them. She was determined to
be the best captain she could be. She was ready to make sure that they
trained and that they were ready for any opponant.

"Hey sis. What do you think?" Jiro said. "I think you guys should get some
sleep. We start training at nine-thirty tomorrow morning, and I don't give
anyone an easy ride. Not even myself. Is that clear?" She asked. Everyone
gulped and nodded. "Yes Kim." they answered. They ate dinner and then decided
to get some sleep, as Kim had suggested.

The sleeping arrangements, were Judy, Kim and Lexx in one room. Taro, Jiro,
Tai and Ro in another roonm. There were another nineteen teams staying in the
hostal. All of them, anticipating the finals.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Kim woke them up, as promised, at seven o clock sharp. They
all got up, showered and dressed. All except for Lexx, who wasn't in her bed.
Everyone was just about to go down to the cafateria to eat breakfast, when
Lexx walked in. Her plait of red hair was messy. "Where've you been, sis?"
Taro asked. "It doesn't matter. What's for breakfast?" Lexx replied.
"Whatever's in the cafateria." Kim said. "Works for me. Are we going to train
afterwards?" Lexx asked. "Of course." Kim said. They all walked into the
cafateria and ate breakfast. (Well, Taro ate enough for seven breakfasts)
They all walked outside to a green and started practicing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They finished practice at one o clock, and walked back for lunch. Lexx looked
very tired. "Lexx. What's wrong?" Kim asked. "I'm just tired." Lexx said.
"You were up before me, and I was up at six o clock. So what time did you get
up, and what were you doing all that time, before you got back here?" Kim
asked. "I got up at four o clock, and left the hotel at half-past. I went out
to train." Lexx said. "You should've slept." Kim said. "You're no good to us
if you get sick." Kim said. "I couldn't help it. I always got up at four o
clock, since I got Drindell, so I could train. I'm not used to being asleep
at that time." Lexx said. Kim smiled. "At least you take your training
seriously." Kim said. Lexx smirked. "Of course," They both laughed and walked
in to eat lunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ME: Sorry for the short chapter. I'm having a really bad case of writers
block. My Mom hid the coke.

TYSON: YAAAY *celebrates*

ME: I saw that Tyson.

TYSON: EEEP! O-O.

ME: Don't worry about it. You're not the only one who's celebrating.

*looks over to see the other BladeBreakers celebrating*

MAX: Please R&R

RAY: And please put any questions you might have in your reviews.

KENNY: And Lady Blade will be sure to answer them.

her writers block) then put that in the reviews aswell.

ME: Bye everyone. I'll try and update as soon as possible.
