NB: Well we are back with another chapter of More than meets the Eye. Ray,
Kai can I ask for a favor.
Ray and Kai: Yes?
NB: Can I have a Yami?
Ray: Wha?!
Kai: Don't you have enough muses?!
NB: No I don't all I have are you guys true but I need someone to help me with the evil ideas ect. Beside Gatomon's watching the Digital World. I would drag Yami and Yugi here even Seto but I rather not. The last thing I need is a group of fans after me for taking them out of the Yugioh section. Kaira's busy at times and she's the only one who supports most of my evil ideas and I'm not about to bring someone like Pegasus here. That's suicidal!
Kai: Fine.
Ray: On the condition that you don't throw into the story to kill everyone unless it's important.
Kai: Don't set her on us.
NB: Don't worry. It wouldn't happen. Beside I rather hand out the punishment myself. Any more?
Ray: She does the disclaimers unless you find someone else. Like Max or Tyson.
NB: Deal.
**Ray sighs wondering if they made the right decision and hands over the Millennium Star. NB puts it around her neck. There was a flash and out came a girl wearing a leather jacket with a white shirt and a black shirt the when down to her knees. She had knee high boots an golden hair and sapphire eyes. **
???:Where am I?
NB: Your on my notes. You're my Yami.
???: uh okay.
NB: I'll call you Kirara.
Kirara: What ever you want aibou. But why am I here?
NB: I'll explain it to you but do the disclaimers first please?
Kirara: I would be more than happy to but what's a disclaimer?
**Everyone sweatdrop.**
NB: Uh I'll explain it you during the chapter but for today, Kai could you?
Kai: Fine this is that last time. Nagareboshi AKA Hoshi doesn't own Beyblade or any other anime that appears in her story.
NB: Thanks! Now on with the story. Kirara come with me.
Kirara: Okay.
More than meets the Eye
~*~Hoshi's POV~*~
Well Ray did very well. His skills are improving and he's getting more and more control over his Bit Beast. He may actually get his powers before Tyson does. Ah Kai better shape up or my student will surpass his. Not that Kai going to like that.
I could just hear the crowd roar with excitement. They get excited over this one battle. It was just the beginning. Ray can fight a mean battle but nothing will stop me from reaching me goal. Like many others or even my teammates I fight for something. Though it's silly and isn't the right thing but mine's is revenge. Why? Don't you dare ask me. It something between me, Kai and someone else. More so between me and someone else, but my stubborn brother when and made sure it was part of his business. Not that I'm complaining.
Max was up next. Honestly this battle has had me partly worried. Max wasn't the strongest Blader we had. He had been here longer true but he more of a defense blade and that may not play to his advantage. Kai and I decided that Max first need to learn more about strategy so we let him take lesson from Kenny to do that. But before we could teach him to do more offensive. I took Ray under my wing and Kai was already teaching Tyson. Then came the tournament both of them in fact, the Egypt one and now this one. So Max at the moment was our weakest blader.
You ask about Ray, well Ray is our newest blader but most of the skills come naturally to him. He has a good eye to spot the opponents weakness and can use it to him advantage. From the first lesson I had with him I could tell that this was his game. He could launch a blade like he was pro already. All I had to pretty much do was guide him to become better. And he had already proven that to me.
"Three two one let it rip!"
Jazzman voice snapped me out of my thoughts I guess I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't even heard AJ and Brad announce the stats. I watched as both Beyblades hit the dish. I knew this battle was going to be hard but this can get very nerve ranking when you're up against someone with this kind of power.
Matt, Max's opponent was not a pushover like his brother and his friend Tai was just as hard. I don't know maybe I should have battle in this round. But then again I was the wild card. They were still using the Classical Bowl so I wasn't worrying to much bout the bowl.
~*~Normal POV~*~
"Hey Max," called Matt, "Nice blade but can you take the heat against my Bit Beast Gabumon?"
"We'll just have to find out then huh," said Max. "Draciel!"
At the same time both blades hit each other as the Bit Beast came out. A purple turtle from Max's blade and a blue wolf from Matt's blade, both scratched at each other, trying to push one out of the ring. Back and forth the blades when and in the end it was Max who came out the victor.
"Nice job Max," said Tyson.
Thanks man," he answered back as Jazzman voice came loud clear through the stadium.
"And the Winner is Max another victory to the Bladebreakers as they move on to the quarter-finals!"
Tyson got up and moved towards the ring. It was his turn to take the victory. Both Tai and Tyson walked up to the dish.
"Well we have team leader Tai from the Digital Team 1 to try and claim at least one victory for his team," said AJ, " And his Bit Beast Agumon is no pushover. This bad dinosaur will rock the house."
Digital team 1 Bit Beast: Agumon Special Attack: Pepper Breath Stats: Attack: 4 Defense: 3 Endurance: 2
"Well Tyson is the kind of guy that likes to kick back and doesn't use a strategy. His Bit Beast Dragoon makes a wild storm attack," said Brad.
Bladebreakers Bit Beast: Dragoon Special Attack: Phantom Hurricane and Storm Attack Stats: Attack: 3 Defense: 1 Endurance: 3
"Three two one LET IT RIP," came Jazzman voice.
It was only a matter of seconds when Tyson took the victory. Tai wasn't focused on the battle and Tyson took full advantage of that. It seems that Tai was partly upset about his teammates loss and his mind was on something else, which was probably more important the battle in this case.
"Well that's it! Tyson has won the battle," said Jazzman.
"Great job Tyson," said Kenny. Kai nodded his approval to him as Tyson swell in pride. Hoshi just gave a smile and walked away as Ray congratulated Tyson on his victory. Max just gave his fellow teammate a pat on the back as Dizzi gave her two cent.
~*~Ray's POV~*~
Well that wasn't so bad for a first battle. I couldn't help but swell with pride when Hoshi gave me her approval. It felt like heaven. But this is great, we've moved to the semi-finals and knowing my old teammates they would have move too. It seems like they want me back. Not like I'm going to go back.
We all laid all over the hotel room. It was a long and we were all tired for the battles even Kai and Hoshi looked a tad bit tired. If it wasn't the battle it was all the reporters after it. Damn reporters they always want info on the winning team even if it's for the quarterfinals.
Well at least we can all relax for now. Tomorrow is another day.
~*~The Next Day~*~
**Beep**Beep**Beep**
Damn clock. I took one look at it. It read 7:30. I guess I have to get up then. I could just sleep in but we have a match in the afternoon and I wanted to take this morning to get mentally prepared for it.
All I could do was groan as I got out of bed. Knowing Kai and Hoshi, they were probably up and practicing for that matter. They're always practicing. I wonder why? Oh well that's not my business. Though it's fun to watch Hoshi practices. She's really good. Not to mention cute. Oh no that again. Let's not do that.
I walked out of my room. True to my guess Hoshi and Kai where already up. I wonder what we are doing to do today before the match? "Hello," I said in a cheerful voice.
I got a morning from Hoshi and a grunt from Kai. Now I really see what it means when Max told me that Kai can really be a downer. He's also like this in the morning. Then again. Maybe he's not a morning person. Tyson and Hoshi are the only people who I know can make Kai smile. I was a bit surprise that Tyson could make Kai smile. I don't know I see them looking at each other when they think no one else is looking. I think Hoshi has caught on to what they are doing but it seems she doesn't mind at all. I believe that Kenny and Max don't even have a clue to what's going on. But then again they almost never notice it when it was very obvious in my option.
"So what are we doing to today," I asked.
"Practice," answered Kai.
I sweatdropped. Was that all that all he thought about? I saw Hoshi roll her eyes. I take that as a yes, Kai always does this. I watched as Kai got up and moved towards Tyson, Max, and Kenny's rooms. Kenny and Max were up but I didn't hear anything from Tyson yet. I wonder what Hoshi is doing with the glass of water.
~*~Normal POV~*~
A big splash could be heard from Tyson's bedroom as both Kai and Hoshi tried to get the young Blue Dragon up. "Why can't Tyson just get up on time with anyone another normal person," asked Kai as he looked at his lover not believing how he could sleep so late. Not even a glass of ice-cold water got him up.
"I don't know," said Hoshi, "this is Tyson we're talking about you know the one that makes new strategy last minute in battles and eats us out of house and home?"
"True."
Ray stuck his head into the room. "Is everything alright," he asked, "I heard a splash of water that's why."
"Everything's fine. Just trying to get Tyson up," said Hoshi with a sigh.
"You think he would be used to it by now," said Max as he and Kenny came into the room as well.
"Yeah I know. But that's Tyson for you," said Kenny.
"He'll never change," said Max.
"I'm going to have to agreed with that," commented Hoshi.
She walked out of Tyson's room grabbing her Beyblade as she went. "Well I'll be at the local practice dish warming up. I'll see you later guys. And Kai good luck with Tyson," she said.
Ray got up too and followed Hoshi, "I'll go with Hoshi. See at the dish guys."
Kenny and Max followed leaving Kai to try and wake up Tyson. "Good Luck Kai," Kenny.
"Yeah we'll see you at practice," said Max.
Kai was a bit shocked that his teammates left him high and dry. But then again he just thought of a very good way to wake Tyson up. Kai almost smack himself for not thinking that earlier.
Kai leaned over Tyson giving his lover a full kiss on the lips. Tyson was a but shocked but never the less returned the kiss. "Glad to see that you're finally awake koi," whispered Kai into Tyson's ears.
Tyson grinned back and replied, "And a good morning to you too Kai Mine[2]. It's not my fault I can't get up in the mornings."
"I know," grinned Kai. "But you should try."
"True," said the Blue Dragon as he smiled at his lover the Fire Phoenix
Tyson got out of bed and quickly got dress. After giving his koi one more kiss on the lips Kai walked out of the room. "See at practice my Blue Dragon," he said as he walked out.
Tyson's heart just flutter when he heard that. He just love that nickname that and the nickname Ty. They were his favorites and no one else could us them. Unless it was Hoshi just trying to get something between them going. Hoshi, Tyson didn't mind, mainly because she was his koi's sister. But also Hoshi was like a sister and mother combine, both to which Tyson had never had.
Tyson gave some thoughts about. Like Ray he saw the Bladebreakers as his new family. Kai was his lover yet like a father to him as Hoshi was like a kid sister and mother. Kenny was that younger brother that was nagging you about something. And Max was like his twin. Tyson stopped for a moment and thought about Ray. Ray was a little hard to discribe being that Tyson didn't know him to well and was just a little bit mysterious.
Tyson gave it some more thought. And the more he thought about the more he decided that he liked Ray as an older brother as Hoshi was like his older sister but both were often a child at heart. Then it hit him, how similar the two were.
They in a way like Kai and himself. Though at first both Kai and him didn't get along they did eventually find love. Tyson then remember a conversation with Hoshi before he got together with Kai. At the time it was just Kai, Hoshi, and himself on the team, the bare minimum. It was also after Michael betrayed the team.
~*~Flashback~*~
"Hey Tyson why so down," asked Hoshi. In reality she knew the answer but she couldn't tell that to Tyson it would give it away. She did know that deep down both Tyson and Kai did care for each other just didn't want to admit it. She also knew the with Tyson's help Kai would finally show more emotion around other people. Kai showed her his softer side but it wasn't the same. After all she was his sister and it gave her even excuse to see that side.
"Nothing really," answered Tyson.
"Nothing," asked Hoshi, a frown appearing on her face. "The sad look on your face tells me otherwise."
What she said was true. The sad look on Tyson's face was almost alien to the Cheerful Blue Dragon. He just didn't look right with that look on.
Tyson let out a sigh and decided to tell her. I mean who could keep a secret from Hoshi. She was bound to find out sooner or later. Looking at the girl he consider a sister and said, "Hoshi if I tell you, promise me you wouldn't tell Kai or laugh at me about it?"
Hoshi sat down next to him. "Why would I do that Ty?"
Tyson was startled at the nickname. The last time he heard that nickname was right before his parents died. But it was rare that his parents said it in the first place anyway. But he answered Hoshi anyway, "I don't know."
Hoshi just smiled warmly, "I promise I wouldn't tell Kai or laugh at you. I swear it on my honur as a Beyblader and on Nekangel's bit."
Tyson nodded his head in acceptance, "I guess I just realized something I that I thought would have never happen."
Hoshi motioned him to continue. It wasn't like Kai could hear them. After all she inclosed them in a barriar, anyway Kai was out right now. She knew that something was wrong when her brother stormed out of the house. Tyson continued, "I-I think: I'm in-in love with K-Kai Hoshi." His voice was shaking.
Hoshi was a bit taken back. She knew that they cared for each other but this was surprising still to hear it anyway. "Is that what this is about," she asked, but she couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't.
Her thoughts were confirmed when Tyson shook his head. "We kinda got into a fight. I don't know it's just that sometimes he gets me sooooooooo mad. I often wonder why I fell in love with him in the first place."
Hoshi couldn't help but giggle. "You know Tyson things aren't as they seem. Something out outrageous may just be right for you and you only. Others could see it wrong but it's just for you."
Tyson looked at Hoshi, confused at what she meant. "What that's supposed to mean?"
"Isn't obvious," asked Hoshi, "You like Kai but others could find it gross and disgusting but that's them. I for one don't care where who it is if its means my soulmates."
"Yeah but how do you tell that the person you fall in love with is your soulmate," asked Tyson.
"It's rather simple but it's very tricky. I was a fool to fall for Michael but that's off the subject. You can tell are kinds of soulmates. The first one is quite easy. Both soulmates are quite similar in some ways. A little in bit of personality and such so. Some more than others, some quite rare. The second one is quite unusual. In this one both are so different it's hard to believe. Much like you and Kai don't you think?"
Tyson's eyes widen. "You mean?"
Hoshi nodded, "Maybe Tyson. There's always a chance but you'll never know unless you tell Kai how you really feel." She smiled brightly at Tyson. She knew it was going to be alright.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
*Of course,* thought Tyson, *Ray and Hoshi. They are a prefect match for each other. Both have that somewhat mysterious personality, a hidden past, and both are great bladers and well that's all I can think about. Plus Kai said he found Hoshi and Ray together one night cause she drifted off to sleep with Ray. Kai said they looked very cute and is my hunch is right Kai also knows about this. I wonder if Hoshi feels for Ray and if Ray feels the same?*
Tyson looked at the clock and realized he was late. *Oh great,* he thought, *There goes my breakfast.*
~*~
NB: Yay Done!
Kirara: How much sugar did you have this morning, aibou?
NB: None only some goodie-goodie from Maui.
Kai: and that contains how much sugar?
NB: Don't know! ^_^
Ray: Something tells me we should be running right about now.
Kirara: Before this gets messy please review. I would make my aibou happy.
NB: Bye!
Ray and Kai: Yes?
NB: Can I have a Yami?
Ray: Wha?!
Kai: Don't you have enough muses?!
NB: No I don't all I have are you guys true but I need someone to help me with the evil ideas ect. Beside Gatomon's watching the Digital World. I would drag Yami and Yugi here even Seto but I rather not. The last thing I need is a group of fans after me for taking them out of the Yugioh section. Kaira's busy at times and she's the only one who supports most of my evil ideas and I'm not about to bring someone like Pegasus here. That's suicidal!
Kai: Fine.
Ray: On the condition that you don't throw into the story to kill everyone unless it's important.
Kai: Don't set her on us.
NB: Don't worry. It wouldn't happen. Beside I rather hand out the punishment myself. Any more?
Ray: She does the disclaimers unless you find someone else. Like Max or Tyson.
NB: Deal.
**Ray sighs wondering if they made the right decision and hands over the Millennium Star. NB puts it around her neck. There was a flash and out came a girl wearing a leather jacket with a white shirt and a black shirt the when down to her knees. She had knee high boots an golden hair and sapphire eyes. **
???:Where am I?
NB: Your on my notes. You're my Yami.
???: uh okay.
NB: I'll call you Kirara.
Kirara: What ever you want aibou. But why am I here?
NB: I'll explain it to you but do the disclaimers first please?
Kirara: I would be more than happy to but what's a disclaimer?
**Everyone sweatdrop.**
NB: Uh I'll explain it you during the chapter but for today, Kai could you?
Kai: Fine this is that last time. Nagareboshi AKA Hoshi doesn't own Beyblade or any other anime that appears in her story.
NB: Thanks! Now on with the story. Kirara come with me.

"Isn't obvious," asked Hoshi, "You like Kai but others could find it gross and disgusting but that's them. I for one don't care where who it is if its means my soulmates."
"Yeah but how do you tell that the person you fall in love with is your soulmate," asked Tyson.
"It's rather simple but it's very tricky. I was a fool to fall for Michael but that's off the subject. You can tell are kinds of soulmates. The first one is quite easy. Both soulmates are quite similar in some ways. A little in bit of personality and such so. Some more than others, some quite rare. The second one is quite unusual. In this one both are so different it's hard to believe. Much like you and Kai don't you think?"
Tyson's eyes widen. "You mean?"
Hoshi nodded, "Maybe Tyson. There's always a chance but you'll never know unless you tell Kai how you really feel." She smiled brightly at Tyson. She knew it was going to be alright.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
*Of course,* thought Tyson, *Ray and Hoshi. They are a prefect match for each other. Both have that somewhat mysterious personality, a hidden past, and both are great bladers and well that's all I can think about. Plus Kai said he found Hoshi and Ray together one night cause she drifted off to sleep with Ray. Kai said they looked very cute and is my hunch is right Kai also knows about this. I wonder if Hoshi feels for Ray and if Ray feels the same?*
Tyson looked at the clock and realized he was late. *Oh great,* he thought, *There goes my breakfast.*

NB: Yay Done!
Kirara: How much sugar did you have this morning, aibou?
NB: None only some goodie-goodie from Maui.
Kai: and that contains how much sugar?
NB: Don't know! ^_^
Ray: Something tells me we should be running right about now.
Kirara: Before this gets messy please review. I would make my aibou happy.
NB: Bye!
