Chapter 9
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Later on in the evening, Steth and the others finally convinced the Bladebreakers to leave Kai in their care for a while, and they found themselves following Tyson around at an outdoor Barbeque in the streets. It was being held for all the Beybladers of the tournament. But it took and Steth and his friends quite a lot of convincing to keep Kai lying down, he didn't like being kept against his will. But he gave in just this once, and stared at his beyblade in deep thought for the remainder of his stay.
"Anya, what are you working on now?" Steth put his hand on her shoulder, and watched as she changed some data and stuff on her computer.
"I'm working on our data. All of our competitors, the teams, their bitbeasts; I'm analysing all of it." She said, still staring directly to the screen.
"That's good." Steth glanced around at his team members, then his eyes landed on Kai's unmoving body.
"Hey, Leo?" Spike asked tentatively from his corner. "Are we." He paused, then continued. "Are we going up against the bladebreakers?" He looked over at Leo with a concerned look spreading across his face.
"You'll have to ask Steth, Spike. I haven't checked the lists for our next matches, yet." Leo smiled down at his younger brother, and went over to the boy's solitary corner. Leo sat down, and ruffled the boy's hair. "Why so concerned?" He smiled.
"Well, for one thing I don't want to go against the Bladebreakers, I don't like fighting against nice people like them. And because I'm worried that Anya would take it too seriously to go up against the world's top beyblading team! She'll make herself sick like last time! She analyses everything too much!" Spike lowered his voice into an almost whisper, and made sure that only his big brother could hear him.
"Don't worry. Beyblading is just a game, maybe a really important one, but still. Games are meant to be harmless, and no one should go up against other teams in this game if they are doing it because of hate. It's all for fun." Leo reassured him, and put his arm around Spike. "So don't worry? You worry too much."
"I'm sorry." Spike whispered, and hugged his brother around his waist. "I'll try not to worry if Anya promises not too analyse everything and make herself sick again."
"I promise." Anya had turned around, and was smiling over at Spike, she obviously had overheard them talking. "You brother's right, don't worry." She smiled again, and went back to analysing, but she took her time, and went a little more slowly than before.
Meanwhile, in the streets of the small village, Tyson was pigging out at the Barbeque. His team mates were watching him hopelessly, and laughing at him, too. After about twenty minutes, they found themselves sitting in a corner somewhere down the street of the tournament building. They were all munching on burgers and fries. Tyson was the last one to finish his food, and they chatted while he held his hand to his stomach, and groaned.
"So who were they?" Ray pondered aloud.
"Who?" Kenny looked up from his laptop, and over at Ray.
"Those people who are taking care of Kai?" Max looked over at Ray, and he nodded at him.
"I believe they may be a team here, or maybe just a group of people holding the tournament together?" Kenny shrugged, and typed something into his laptop.
"Probably." Tyson said as he burped out loud, and sighed. "Man, that was good food. I wish we were allowed to have more!" He smiled around at everyone, and they all laughed, and shook their heads at him.
"Excuse me. Is this." A man in a suite walked up to him with a clipboard and sheets of paper. He checked his paper, and continued. "Is this the Bladebreakers team?"
"Yup, that's us!" Tyson said between sips of his drink, and the rest of them nodded their heads politely.
"All right. If you would please follow me, I will show you to your rooms." He bowed at them, and they followed him into the tournament building, up a few flights of stairs, and down a dimly lit hall, they passed at least thirty separate doors leading to other rooms.
He stopped them in front of the room at the very end of the hall on the right side. "Two of you may room in here." He gestured to the room across from it, on the right side, and continued. "The other three may have this room." He bowed at them again, and left them all standing there.
"I want this room, its got a t.v. and everything!" He dragged Kenny in the room with two beds, and Ray and Max both shrugged. They laughed as they watched Kenny disappear out of site, still clutching his laptop. They went into the other room, and put down their bags. It was a rather large room, with a T.V., stereo system, one bunk bed, one single bed, and a big washroom beside the door to the hall. Max dropped himself onto the bottom half of the bunk bed, and a smile spread across his face.
"This is so kool!" He exclaimed, and Ray laughed. Ray sat down on a couch that was directly in front of the t.v., and looked around.
"Yeah, it is." Ray said with a dazed look on his face. He wondered if Kai would mind sleeping in their room. He shrugged, and leaned back on the comfortable couch. He drifted off to sleep with Max still raving about how kool their room was. Well, until Max realised that Ray had fallen asleep, and he laughed at himself, and lay back down on the bottom bunk.
Tyson and Kenny's room looked exactly the same as Max's, but it was a little bit smaller. Kenny found himself a desk, where he laid down his laptop, and set down his bag on the floor beside the desk. Tyson dropped his stuff down beside a bed, and looked around him, curiously. He saw the t.v. again, and sat down on the couch in front of it. He turned it on, and channel surfed until he found out that there wasn't anything good on yet, it was news time everywhere. He turned it off, and lay down on the bed that he claimed. It was the closest to the door. He stared up at the ceiling, and watched the ceiling fan spin. He got drowsy after a while, and told the Chief that he would take a nap. Kenny agreed with him that having a nap was a good idea, then turned back to his laptop. He made sure to talk to Dizzi quietly as Tyson fell asleep, and turned down Dizzi's volume, so that she, too, wouldn't talk as loud.
Kai lay awake on the cot that they had put him on, and sighed. It was useless. He would never get them to let him go back to his team. He stared up at the ceiling, and thought to himself. He tried to figure out ways to escape, but none of his plans seemed to be good enough for him to use.
"Kai?" Steth walked over to his old friend, and sat down in the chair beside him. Kai ignored him, and Steth continued to talk. "Leo thinks you should be able to rejoin your team shortly, he says that you'll be fine if you don't do much except rest for the next day or so." Steth raises his eyebrows, and leaned over Kai.
"Hn." Kai finally snapped back to reality, and sat up. He looked over at Steth, who didn't smile for once. He showed no emotion. So did Kai. Kai picked up his beyblade, and stood up just as someone knocked at the door to Steths' teams' room. Steth opened the door, and let the man in a suite come in.
"Mister Kai Hiwatari?" The man checked his list, and Kai looked up at him at the mention of his name. "If you will follow me?" He bowed to Kai, and left the room. Kai looked back at Steth, and nodded at him. Steth and his team waved at him.
Kai left with the man, and followed him up several flights of stairs. "Where are you taking me?" Kai finally asked the question that was bothering him.
"To your room, sir." The man took him to the end of a hallway, and knocked on one of the doors. Max opened the door, and peered over at Kai and the man. The man bowed again to both of them, and left quickly.
"Hey, Kai!" Max smiled at him, and let Kai come in to their room. Kai noticed that Ray was outstretched on a couch in front of a t.v., and he shook his head. Max sat on the bottom of the bunk bed, and gestured to the single bed in the opposite corner of the room, across from the bunk bed. Kai found his bag at the end of the bed, and he sat down on his bed. He noticed a very large window beside his bed, and he stared outside. He glared down at the large mansion that was clearly visible from the windows. He closed half of the curtains, and lay down on his bed. It wasn't too late, but he could feel the sleep pulling him under. He didn't give in, though, instead he kept himself awake by thinking of Dranzer and his beyblades' moves. When he glanced over at Max, he had fallen asleep sitting up with his beyblade, Draciel, in the hand of his outstretched arm. He looked peaceful, so did Ray. Kai ignored the feelings of sleep slowly taking him away. He finally gave in, and felt his eye lids get heavier and heavier. Kai's eyes fluttered closed, and his breathing got shallower. His beyblade was still beside him.
Even Kenny fell asleep earlier, probably because they had walked a lot and travelled far, from the city before. He fell asleep with his head in his arms on the desk, his laptop still wide open. Tyson didn't wake up from his nap, instead, he slept on until morning like the rest of their team.
The sky outside sparkled with all of the stars, and a few clouds in the sky made it appear more majestic and magical than ever. People all over the country enjoyed the beautiful night air and sky as it passed them by gracefully and peacefully.

MagicFae: yay, I'm back from my camping trip with my friend, Britania! It was really fun, we were following deer for almost an hour and a half, and we had fun listening to the drunk people nearby talking to each other or to themselves! It was a whole lot of fun! I got back earlier than I expected, I only spent one night camping! But I'm glad that I'm back now! I missed the last episode of Beyblade! -.- Oh well, I'll continue writing this story anyway! It's really a lot of fun!
Steth: Woohoo, we're glad that you're back, and that you can keep writing the story! I can't wait to see what else I do! (Oh yeah, MagicFae doesn't own Beyblade or anything to do with it, but she does, however, own me! ()
Max: Yeah, you can just see the next Beyblade show on Monday!
MagicFae: Yeah. Kai, you're more social in the episodes than you were before! You actually smile more, too! ^-^
Kai: Hn. Yes, I suppose I am more social.
Tyson: Hey, thanks for the Barbeque outside, Magic! I love it!
Everyone: -_- *sigh* Figures
Ray: Hey, MagicFae? Is your name Sarah? Because calling you magic or magicfae sort of gets confusing.
MagicFae: I know. Call me whichever name you prefer, whichever one isn't annoying or confusing.
Ray: Ok, Sarah! ^-^ (
MagicFae: Okay, well I'd better get back to writing another chapter! And thanks again to everyone who reviewed my story! I really appreciate it, you guys are the best! ^-^ (And I tried to fix my word program so that it doesn't put everything into one big paragraph!) Bye bye ^-^!
