Rei: ^_^ 'Nother chapter of Silver Wolf.

Rath: Yup...

Rei: I've been on vacation from school, but I haven't updated--

Rath: Yup

Rei: I feel guilty

Rath: Yup

Rei: I know the Bladebreaker's bitbeast are supposed to start with a D, but Mai's a substitute. I think she might come back for the Russian tournament, but Presea won't start with a D, not now, not ever. Actually, I thought of replacing P with D, but Dresea sounds like Dreceil.

Rath: Yup

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~****~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mai woke long before anyone else. She glanced at the slumbering Rei and smiled. 'Rei.... You had to know why Kai acts the way he does, especially if you're going to get his to admit his love for you. Otherwise, I would not burden you with the truth.'- Mai thought as she reminisced about what happened the night before. Truth be told, she was glad that she told someone. The thought had been weighing heavily upon her and to tell someone seemed to make it easier to bear.

Mai stretched, took a quick shower, got dressed and tied her hair before she grabbed her Beyblade and headed out the door into the light of the rising sun. 'That tournament in Europe's 10 days away. I'd better practice. I want to go to the tournament with skills that are better than Kai's...'

"Go Presea!"

A silver and blue streak shot through the snow and crashed into a tree, leaving a sizable dent. Then it seemingly jumped into Mai's outstretched hand. She continued this process through mounds of snow, and such before she grabbed her blade and said, "Good job, Presea. That's enough for now."

A loud clatter from the direction of the cabin told her that the rest of the team was coming out now. An evil grin appearing on her face, as she gathered some snow, and started making a pile of snowballs, in the cover of the trees.

"Kaaaiii!! It's not our fault *you* didn't wake up to start training!!! I'm HUNGRY!!!!!"- Tyson whined. "Tyson, stop complaining. It's your fault you ate all the food yesterday."- Kai growled whirling to face the offender, failing to notice the snowballs flying towards him. "Kenny went to go pick up some food, Tyson"- Rei continued. *WHAM* Kai blinked snow out of his eyes. *WHAM* next up, Rei.

Max ducked the offending pile of snow, but caught the second one with his head. Tyson, on the other hand, was already chucking snowballs everywhere. One happened to catch Mai on the mouth and she left the shelter of the trees, wiping snow out of her smile. Big mistake.

Tyson, Rei and Kai chucked mounds of snow at her and in a matter of minutes, she blinked at them, looking like a snowman. Everyone was laughing, even Kai. Rei stared at Kai as soon as he stopped rolling around laughing his head off.

Kai sensed the stare and turned to glare back. "What?!" he growled at Rei. "Huh? Oh. Sorry... I just.... never saw you laugh before."- he answered the question honestly.

Mai shook snow out of her hair and grinned upon seeing Rei and Kai she smiled. "Hey, bro. Rei's right. You look much cuter when your smiling!" she said as she pulled on a cheek like an aunt would to a small child. Kai growled and Tyson stared in awe. "Y-y-you can do that to him?! Lemme try!" He received a mouthful of snow.

Mai's POV

~*~

The week of the tournament thingy arrived too soon. Good news, Kai and Rei were getting to know each other. Bad news, both are too chicken to admit their love. I hit my head on something when the floor jerked suddenly. Ah, yes, that would explain it. Bus. Signal. Seat in front of me.

Kai sat a couple seats behind me, meaning he saw it all. Yup, I can hear him trying not to laugh.

Well, back on track now, this European tournament is supposed to include a lot of teams, like the All Starz, the Majestics, White Tigers and err... some team called the Pink Panthers. All girls who seem obsessed with the White Tiger's captain, Lee. I shouldn't worry about them, they only have 1 bit beast, but I sense something about them that seems familiar...

Let's see. The Bladebreakers have won against all odds, and that was before I came along. Hopefully, we can win this one too. And hopefully, in the process, I can get Kai and Rei together. Maybe if I lock them in the same room together...
