Rei: 'nother chappie of Silver Wolf.... Sorry if it's retarded.... It's 1 in the morning, and I'm wired cuz I decided to drink an iced mocha thingie...
Rath: ^_^' not a very smart thing to do.
Rei: Shut up!! By the way, I only know the names Brad Best and Jazz-man... I'm not sure what the other announcer guys name is... Was it AJ??
~*~
"We all know why we're all here so let's skip straight to the introductions!!!"- an over-excited Jazz-man said into his microphone, with his usual amount of theatrics.
"First we have the Bladebreakers, winners of the Asian and American tournament!! Their team now has Tyson, and his Dragoon, Rei, and his Drigger, Max, and his Draceil, Kai, and his Dranzer, and Mai, and her Presea."
"Mai Hiwatari is substituting in this tournament since there has to be 5 members. Believe it or not, she's Kai's twin sister."- Brad, one of the announcers, explained. "Oh, I believe it, Brad. They look almost identical!!"- AJ agreed.
"And their opponents, the Celestial Bladers!! Their team is made of Ceres, and Falceon, Akira and Leon, Asuka, and Dolpeon, and Touya and Ohjiro."- Jazz-man continued, waving a hand at the team across from the Bladebreakers.
"Our first match is Tyson, against Ohjiro!!"- Jazz-man waved his arms again to try to signal that Tyson and Ohjiro should step up. They did. Ohjiro wasn't very tall, but he still managed to look intimidating, until he smiled and his face softened. "Good luck!"- he said to Tyson. Tyson returned the phrase and they readied their launchers. "Bladers ready?!? 3........... 2....... 1...... LET IT RIP!!!!!!"- Jazz-man continued.
Tyson launched his Dragoon and Ohjiro launched his bit-beast-less blade. "Go, DRAGOON!!"- Tyson ordered his blade forward, hoping for a quick win. No such luck there. Ohjiro's blade shot forwards and dodged the attack. As fast as Dragoon was, Ohjiro dodged every attack.
"Dragoon, Phantom Storm Attack!!"- the hurricane of wind picked up Ohjiro's blade after a minute of struggle and sent it flying out of the dish, to land at his feet. He picked it up, and smiled. "Good match. A perfect defeat."- Ohjiro said as he turned his back and walked back to his team.
Touya stepped forward, and Kai stood and said, "I'll take this one." (Rei blushed at how hot Kai looked with that determined look on his face) He stepped forward and drew out his blade and launcher.
Touya smirked. "I should warn you, I'm not as easy as Ohjiro."- he sneered. Kai smirked right back. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Bladers Ready?! 3.... 2.... 1.... LET IT RIP!!"
The blades were launched and they circled. Kai was waiting for Touya to make the first move. He did. Touya's blade charged Kai's, met with a counter attack from Dranzer. Touya --(A/N I'm gonna call Touya's blade Touya, since he doesn't have a bit beast)-- was knocked back.
Touya circled and charged again, and met with air as Dranzer dodged. Touya growled and charged again, met with air again as Dranzer dodged but kept going, rather than circling around like normal. His blade turned at the last minute, creating a curve of speeding wind that slashed at Kai, leaving a deep slash on his arm. Kai growled in fury. He *was* going to win without using his Dranzer, but now, he wasn't so sure. This blader, had the nerve to attack *him*?!
"DRANZER!!" The phoenix of fire rose in all it's majestic beauty, and turned to face the opposing blade. Dranzer was mad. This weak coward attacked her master! She would be sure to make him pay.
"FLAME SABER!!"- Kai ordered. Dranzer had no problem obeying. With a shriek of pure fury, Dranzer plummeted, and the blade was engulfed in flame as it dove. Touya watched in awe as the burning Beyblade hit his, knocking it flying out of the dish. Dranzer disappeared as she returned to the blade as it flew into Kai's hand. Slipping his blade back into his pocket, Kai clamped his hand over the gash on his arm and walked back to his team.
"Kai! Are you all right?" Max asked. Kai nodded and looked at Mai. She grinned as he rolled his eyes.
"Kai, are you okay? You want me to bandage that?"- Rei asked as Mai nudged him. Both Kai and Rei fought to keep from blushing as Kai agreed.
Mai smiled as she stepped up to the dish, met by Ceres. Ceres had been yelling at Touya for what he did so Mai knew she was decent. "And the last match is Ceres against Mai!! Bladers ready?! 3....... 2....... 1..... LET IT RIP!!"
"PRESEA!!" "FALCEON!!!"- the two blades shot forward and clashed in the middle. Neither would let up in the force so they froze there, trying to force the other out. Falceon won the strength contest as Presea was forced back. Mai frowned. "Presea, time to turn this to our advantage!! Frozen Earth!!"
A wave of ice froze the dish, making the surface a shiny, slippery place, that tipped all scales to Mai's ice bit beast. Falceon, being a wind bit-beast, had trouble on the icy surface, while Presea, being an ice bit-beast, seemed right at home.
"Presea, now! Artic Thunder!!"- the wave of ice in the air flew at the blade that could barely keep spinning in one spot, without sliding out of control. Falceon couldn't dodge. It was way too risky. He took the attack and at Ceres' command, the magnificent falcon arose from the blade. "Falceon, Hurricane wind!!"
A gust of sudden, harsh wind blew from Falceon's wings, as the blade charged Presea. "Presea, Artic Thunder!!"
The two attacks met in the center of the dish, but since the dish was still frozen, Falceon lost a lot of ground, sliding back under the force of the attack. "Now! Finish it!!"
Presea darted forward yet again and with a swift attack, Falceon was knocked from the dish.
"And the Bladebreakers win all 3 matches!!"
~*~
Meanwhile, Rei and Kai were in the Bladebreaker's locker room, knowing they already won, yet awaiting the news of Mai's match. Kai was sitting on a bench while Rei knelt next to him. Rei finished cleaning the wound on Kai's arm and set to bandaging it.
"There."- Rei said as he completed the task. He looked up at Kai's crimson orbs and smiled. He tried not to blush when Kai leaned forwards and brushed his lips against Rei's. Rei's eyes widened in shock, as Kai caught him is a harder kiss, moving from the bench to the floor. Rei responded eagerly. Pulling away, Kai looked at Rei before saying something he had waited a long time to say.
"Aishiteru.*"- he said breathlessly, waiting for the answer that would inevitably come. Either Rei would reject him, or would accept him. It didn't take long for the answer to come. Rei leaned forward and claimed Kai's lips again.
"Wo Ai Ni.**"- he said when they parted. Kai raised an eyebrow. "What?" Rei smiled. "It's Chinese. It means I love you." Kai grinned and pressed his lips to Rei's. Slipping his tongue into Rei's mouth, he felt Rei's rise to meet his. Their tongues began a dance for dominance. After a moment of this, Kai won and he set to ravishing Rei's mouth.
Finally, they parted for air and at the same time, a cheer erupted from the crowd. An unmistakable sign the match was done. Panting, Kai stood and offered his hand to pull Rei up.
Just then, the rest of the team burst in. "We won!"- Tyson exclaimed, as if it was their victory depended on Mai. Kai scowled. "We already won. Mai's match didn't matter--"
"Thanks a lot, bro. I really feel the love."- Mai interrupted sarcastically. Her eyes flashed to Rei then back to Kai, and she wore a questioning look. Kai nodded. She smiled and said "Finally. I was wondering if you'd ever tell him." Kai blushed in response, and Rei, who knew exactly what the conversation was about, blushed too-- but since he was celebrating with every one else, he blamed it on excitement.
"Let's go to lunch. My treat!!"- Mai decided. Tyson cheered. "YEAH!!"
~*~
Mai led them along the streets, to a restaurant where she booked a table for five. "We have half an hour before our tables are ready. There's a shopping center down the street. We're gonna burn some time there."- she announced.
Kai, Rei, Kenny and Tyson went into a Beyblading shop, Max disappeared into a candy store and Mai went into Hot Topic***, then into a different store, after. After the half hour was up, Mai went around to find the others. Max had spent nearly all his money on pixie stix and other candies. Tyson had a new attack ring, that, according to Dizzi and Kenny* would improve his attack power. Kai and Rei had just looked around together, although Mai suspected that they had been talking about previous happenings today. Mai herself, was carrying a Hot Topic bag, the contents unknown.
Back at the restaurant, their table was ready and they sat to eat. "Tyson, Since I'm paying, I say you can only order one meal."- Mai commanded.
Tyson ordered the 'All you Can Eat' buffet. The team ordered, ate and left. The bill, surprising enough, was less than $50 and Mai was happy at that.
Back at the hotel, the team gathered in Mai's room, to talk. "Hey, what's in the bag?"- Tyson asked suddenly, pointing to the Hot Topic bag hanging from Mai's arm. She smiled and dumped the contents on the bed. The contents were these:
*Another bag, which she also dumped the contents on the bed,
*A choker with a wolf hanging from it,
*Pants with a phoenix flying up one leg (she threw this to Kai)
*A shirt with white tiger, ready to pounce (she tossed this one to Rei)
* A baseball hat with a dragon on it (she gave this to Tyson)
* A tortoise stuffed animal (for Max)
*And a bag which was the prefect size for a laptop, the word Chief airbrushed on (Kenny and Dizzi)
The Bladebreakers received their gifts with gratitude and Rei looked at Mai curiously. "Why are you treating us to lunch, *and* buying us gifts?"
"Uuuuhhh.... Because ummm... I dunno. Want me to take them back?"
"No."- Tyson had already replaced his normal hat with his new one. "Fine then."

Rei: I'm sorry it's short again, but I need to ask for a vote. Should I make the next chapter a lemon, and change the rating?
Rath: *yawns* Yeah yeah. Here's the star stuff.
*Aishiteru~~ Japanese for I love you
**Wo Ai Ni~~ Chinese for I love you. (Don't blame me if it's wrong. I got it from one of the translated Fushigi Yugi manga.)
*** Hot Topic ~~ One of my favorite stores, they have such cute stuff there!!
Rei: And yet again, I ask you to vote if you want a lemon or not... I'll try to make it where you can skip it if you don't want it, of if you're underage... It'll be a short chapter, and you could skip straight to the chappie after that, and you'll still get what's going on... I won't do it if I don't get enough votes though.
Rath: Thanks to Keisan, SoulSister and Fire Phoenix-- the 3 people who stuck with me. THANK YOU!!
Rei: And I noticed Fire Phoenix, lone-wolf and lady rinan, Yume Ishida the dream ang, and Angel yame have me on their favorites list. YAY!! That means 6 out of my 11 reviewers!! I think... my math may be off. Well, anyways, THANKS A LOT!! That means a lot to me!!
Rath: Remember, vote!!
