NB: OH MY GOD!!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY!!!!! I can't believe I
haven't updated in over two (Kai: Three) three months.
Kai: Well you've had writer's block plus school is ending and you're worried about your grades though I don't see why. But did you have to write the next chapter of, Of A Deep Blue too?!
NB: Yeah. I kinda do them at the same time. Oh people before you start wondering Destiny's Angel has Ray with him (took him from the reviews on Disney Beyblade) and Kirara trying to get him back for me since she wants me to finish updating my stories first.
Kai: So if Ray and Kirara aren't here then who's doing the disclaimers?
NB: Good question. Since I agreed not to make you or Ray do them I got to find someone else. But who?
Kai: Tyson, Max, Kenny.
NB: I banned Tyson from coming onto the authoress notes since chapter 2 in More Than Meets the Eye. Max is helping his dad around the store since their sales have sky rocketed since you guys won the World Championships. I have no idea where Kenny is.
Kai: Another Anime Character.
NB: Would if I could. I could take them from their section and I'll be mobbed by fans (if they have one) I'm not about to ask reform (or still are) bad guys and there is no way the All Stars, Demolition Boys, and Majestics are coming in here. The White Tigers are training and in China anyway.
Kai: So who is going to do the Disclaimers?
NB: Are you willing to let me use Dranzer? Neka helping Kirara.
Kai: No.
NB: How about..
Kai: No I don't think she would like that.
NB: My aren't we protective of their girlfriend.
Kai: If you weren't my sister (in the stories) I would be hurting you right now.
NB: Well I can't get this chapter started without disclaimer.
Kai: What about you?
NB: Kai you know I hate doing them.
**Kurama runs in, shuts the door and leans against it. The sound of fan girls pounding on the door could be heard.**
NB: Kurama prefect timing.
Kai: o.O Who?
NB: From Yu Yu Hakusho. One of my new favorite shows. Kurama's my favorite there. Which reminds I should introduce Hiei. He kinda reminds me of you a bit. Then again I could probably name one character from each anime that reminds me of you.
Kurama: *deep breaths** some of those girls are crazy.
NB: Hey!
Kurama: I wasn't talking about you.
NB: Oh.
Kai: Why are you here anyway?
Kurama: Why do you think? I'm hiding! I feel sorry for Hiei, actually more for Yusuke. Hiei can out run those girls. Yusuke will have a little more trouble.
NB: Kurama can you do the disclaimers? Pretty please. **Launches Puppy Eyes on him.**
**Kurama takes one look and gives in**
Kurama: Fine! Just don't do those puppy eyes.
NB: Thank you soooooooo much!!!!! You can stay here as long as you like!
Kurama: Thanks I think. Nagareboshi doesn't own Beyblade or me. Uh can you let Hiei and Yusuke in here too?
NB: Sure. As long as that idiot doesn't come in here.
Kurama, Kai: Who?
Kai: Tyson?
Kurama: or Kuwabara?
NB: Both.
**Kurama and Kai looked at each and shrugged.**
NB: Let's get this chapter started then!
More than meets the Eye Chapter 10
~*~Last time~*~
Tyson walked up to the dish. "Well if it isn't Tyson of the Bladebreakers. If you don't want me to crush your Beyblade to pieces I suggest you back out know," said Lee with a smug look on his face.
Tyson held up his Beyblade so that Lee could see it. His Beyblade gleamed in the light. "Lee as long as Dragoon is willing to fight so am I. I'm not going to back down. So you better prepare yourself cause you're the one who will be walking without the championships for this tournament."
Lee gave a yawn. "Such brave words. It's too bad you'll be the one without the championship. I wonder how your dear lover will feel if you lose this battle."
"Don't you dare talk about Kai like that," yelled Tyson. "He's ten times a better blader than you and I'll take you down for that."
Lee readies his Beyblade, "We will see."
Tyson did that same.
"3...2...1 Let it rip!!!"
Both the Beyblades went flying into the dish.
~*~
Both Dragoon and Galleon hit the dish the started to hit each other. It was a classic bowl dish incase you're wondering. "Galleon attack," commanded Lee.
"Evade it Dragoon," yelled Tyson.
The one lookers looked as both Beyblades seem to disappear, reappear, then disappear all over again. It was just a blur to many. Kai, Hoshi, Ray, Mariah, Michael and the bladers themselves, Lee and Tyson were the only ones who could actually see what was happening out on the dish. Max, Kenny, Gary, and Kevin could see part of it but where often lost in the disappearing and reappearing. Kai watched as his lover battle with out hesitation.
Back and forth when the Beyblades hitting, sparks once again flew as both Beyblades hit each other over and over again. Either wanted to back down and either was to give up, not yet. As long as they had a fight in them, they weren't backing down.
"Galleon destroy him," ordered Lee.
Galleon sped towards Dragoon. Lee never even noticed that small smirk on Tyson's face as Galleon sped towards Dragoon. "Fell right into my trap," said Tyson.
"What?!"
Galleon headed straight for Dragoon. At the last minutes Tyson said, "Okay Dragoon show Lee how strong your storm attack can really be!"
Just as Galleon was about to hit Dragoon, the wind began to pick up. "No Galleon use Black Lightning!"
Tyson's eyes when wide as Galleon sparked with lightning. Black lightning that is. "Wha?!"
Now it's was Lee turn to smirk. "A new technique. Finish him off Galleon!"
"Dragoon Storm Attack," said Tyson.
Dust rose from dish. As it cleared Dragoon laid still in the dish and Galleon was laying just outside the dish.
"Wha," said Tyson in pure shocked. That same impression was on Lee's face.
"No way," he said.
"Well this is new. Both Beyblades have stopped," said Jazzman. "Our judges will have to decided who won that battle."
"Tyson tied," said Max in disbelief. Tyson walked back to box. "Sorry guys. Lee's black lightning surprised me. I never expected for him to create a new move so quickly."
Ray shook his head. "It's not a new move. I've seen Lee use it before. It's a family secret or something like that. He knows all of the White Tigers moves. But Black Lightning is his own."
"So in other words he has been hiding those moves from us," said Kai.
"Well the judges decided. We will have a tied breaker. Both teams must send up someone from their teams. Who ever wins this match, wins the Asian Tournament," said Jazzman.
The Bladebreakers watched as Lee watched up to the table. Tyson also started to make his way to the dish, only to be stopped by Ray. "Tyson let me battle Lee. This is something that needs to settle between us."
"You're sure," said Tyson.
"Just let him Tyson," said Kai. "He's right. This is something that needs to be settle between them."
"Then go get him buddy," said Max.
"And be careful," said Kenny.
"Beside you know Lee better than any of us. You should be able to read his moves with ease. Good luck out there," said Tyson.
Ray nodded expecting everyone advice. Hoshi just smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Destroy him Ray. We're right here for you." Then she did something that even she didn't expect to do. She gave Ray a kiss on the cheek and whispered, "Ray if you must, call on the power of Driger if needed. But only use it if the situation gets that desperate." Then she sat back down. A faint blush was on her face and Ray was a bright red color.
//Well that was unexpected.//
/Hey! I'm surprised you didn't do that to Tyson./
//Oh be quiet.//
/Hey you're the one who brought it up./
//I still think you'll make a great couple.//
/KAI!!!!!!!/
//You're the one who kissed him.//
/Kai you are soooooo lucky that I'm not feeling well. I should be strangling you right about now./
//Let's not get carried away.//
/You're the one that started it./
//How about we drop the subject and just watch that battle?//
/That can be arrange. Just as long as you don't say anything./
Silence pass as they watch Ray headed up the dish. Seeing that they had already gone over the stats they weren't going to do it all over again.
//I still think you two make a cute couple.//
/KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/
"3...2..1 Let it Rip!"
Two Beyblades were launched as started to spin around the dish. Galleon was in pursuit of Driger.
"I want to know why you when to the Bladebreakers Ray," growled Lee.
Ray's eyes harden, "I joined their team because it's obvious to me that they at least care for me. I didn't leave the White Tigers before because I knew I wouldn't be able to survive long on the streets so I continue to put up with your beatings."
"Still what gave you right to abandon us. We gave you a home after your parents abandon you," yelled Lee.
"That maybe true Lee," growled Ray, "but it still doesn't give you any right to do what you did to me. True friends would have never done that to their friends. If you truly knew what it is to be a friend you would have figure that out by now."
"Are you mocking me," roared Lee. The air around the dish began to spark with black lightning. Ray didn't answer nor did he back down.
"Driger attack," he said.
Driger made for another attack but Galleon manage to dodge him. Both Bit Beasts could feel the distrust and dislike from their master to their opponent's master.
"Driger," called Ray. The White Tiger rose from his bit in a burst of green light. Driger let out a loud roar. The earth seemed to tremble at his power. It seemed like nothing could stop the tiger.
"Galleon," yelled Lee. The Black Lion also rose from his bit in black light. Lightning filled the air. The Noble Lion wasn't going to give up.
Meanwhile something dawn on Ray as he saw the Black Lion. He chuckled lightly. "What's so funny," growled Lee. Off to the side, both teams were wondering the same thing.
"It's just that I realized something, Lee," said Ray, "Your Bit Beast is Galleon the Black Lion or better known as the Noble Lion and you're anything but noble at this moment."
Kenny blinked as he processed what Ray had just said. "What's that suppose to mean," Tyson asked.
Kenny answered that, "It's simple. Why didn't I think of that before! Our Bit Beasts have other names that reflect who they are. Take Neka for an example. You see Nekangel is also known Starlight. It fits Hoshi perfectly and some of the attacks use something kind of light energy and that leave you with stars in your eyes, hence Starlight. Galleon the Black Lion is also known as the Noble Lion and from Lee's actions I say he's nothing but noble. That's what Ray means."
"Oh," said Tyson. He returned back to the battle. One way or another, one team was going home with the championships. The question was which one.
~*~
Michael looked across the stadium at a certain member of the Bladebreakers. There was rather ruthless grin on his face.
Over on the Bladebreakers side, Hoshi's eyes became hard. She felt Michael staring at her. She let out a hiss that sounded oddly like an angry cat that was ready to attack. Her eyes became like slits and she wasn't too happy.
Meanwhile Kai noticed what Michael was doing. An anger rose within him. The temperance of the stadium just rose.
~*~
Driger and Galleon didn't back down from there attacks. They keep on going. Everyone was on the edge of their seats. Everyone wants to see who the victor was.
"You're going down Ray. You and our so called teammates," growled Lee.
A frown appeared on Ray's face, "No Lee," he said, "You're the one who is going to lose."
"Hah you had your pitiful teammates help you for the start. You're nothing but a weak little puppy," snorted Lee.
Ray growled, "First off Lee I'm a cat not a puppy. Second my so-called pitiful teammates are my friends, and third I don't take it lightly when you insult them. I could care less if you call me weak and I'll admit I am cause I never once fought back against you. Don't you ever call them pitiful."
"Hah friends?"
"Yes my friends," said Ray, "Something you'll never know until the you know what the meaning of a true friend is! DRIGER ATTACK!"
Driger raced towards Galleon. Something inside of Lee finally clicked as he saw Driger rage with power and grow bigger in size. Lee took a look behind Ray where his teammates, no friends were standing. Suddenly he could see a bond between them as if they each were lending their powers to help Ray through this battle. *Friends,* thought Lee. *Sure I think of Gary, Kevin and Mariah as friends, but what does Ray mean by true friends?*
~*~
"That's something you'll never know until you let go. Let go of all that anger you hold against Ray," whispered Hoshi. "Only then will you understand the meaning of true friends."
"You say something Hoshi," asked Max.
Hoshi turned and smile, "It's nothing Max. Don't worry about it. I'm just talking to myself."
//Liar.//
/Shut up./
~*~
A flash, a clash, a ring, a hit and it was all over. Everyone watched as the dust settle and one Beyblade lay outside of the ring. Lee looked down, Galleon the Black Lion has been defeated.
The crowd led out a cheer at the magnificent battle. Ray let out a sigh as Tyson, Max and Kenny tackle him in a hug of pure happiness. Off to the side Kai was smirking and walked off as Hoshi was giggling at her friends' antics. There was a smile on her face through her mind seemed to be somewhere else.
~*~
Hoshi smiled warmly as she felt and sun's last ray fall on her. When was the last time she smiled that much she mused to herself. She had left her teammates to celebrate over their win in the Asian Tournament while she went out for some fresh air. She told Kai where she was going but for some reason she hunch that he didn't hear her. Hoshi shook her head from those thoughts. Kai wouldn't have let her walked outside if he didn't know. Oh well it was nice to get out sometimes without her overprotective brother watching her like a child. Though Hoshi admit that she didn't mind her brother's need to make sure she was safe it did get annoying at time. Then again most elder brother even if they were a few minutes older held some reason to protect their baby sister if they had one. Well maybe not but why complain?
Hoshi twirled a bit of her hair as she walked through the park. Nightfall had come rather quick and stars were appearing in the sky. *Better start heading back before we get Kai's lecture about leaving without telling someone,* mused Hoshi. A smile played on her lips as she was lost in her own little world. She never noticed one that there was a shadow looming over her.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
Kai noticed that his sister wasn't around and her energy was faint meaning she was far away.
~*~
Hoshi quicken her paced as she walked through the park. For some reason she had this hunch that something was going to happen and she wasn't going to like it very much.
Suddenly she felt herself against the truck of a nearby tree and felt a pair of lips touch hers. It took but a few seconds to focus on her was kissing her. Hoshi's eyes widen as she recognize who it was.
She pushed the person off her and stepped back. A flame lit in her eyes. "YOU!!!!!"
~*~
Kai's crimson eyes snapped opened. He suddenly felt Hoshi's power level skyrocket. It wasn't a good sign. It only did that when she was pissed and judging for the height of her power level she was pretty pissed. Kai was suddenly worried. Ray had felt to try and find Hoshi just to make sure she was alright but for Hoshi to be showing this much power even on her worse day well it would make Satan himself think twice about getting her angry.
That was when something clicked in Kai's mind. There was only one person Hoshi could be this mad at. He stormed out of the room telling the others that he would be right back. Tyson gave a glance at his love knowing that something was up. "Kai," he asked.
"Hn," replied Kai.
"Are you alright? You seem rather mad," asked Tyson. His voice was filled with concern. He could tell that something was not right.
"It's nothing. If something does happen I'll tell you," said Kai, half lying.
"Promise," questioned Tyson.
"Promise," Kai promised.
~*~
Ray wandered through the streets looking for his friend. He couldn't seem to find her anywhere. He suddenly felt Hoshi's energy spike up. Fear suddenly gripped Ray. For some reason he was suddenly worried about Hoshi. He started to run. It was coming from the park.
*Hoshi please be alright,* he thought.
~*~
NB: Well I say that was a very good chapter what do you think?
Kurama: Okay I guess.
Kai: Hn.
Kurama: You should really meet my friend Hiei.
**Hiei comes running in**
Hiei: Stupid fan girls.
NB: NANI?!!!!!
**Kai glared at Hiei who in return just glared at Hoshi and started a glaring match with Kai.**
NB: Fine then. Maybe I should just tell those 'crazy fan girls' that you're in here.
Hiei: O.O You wouldn't.
NB: **Evil Grin** Just watch me.
Hiei: Alright! I take it all back! Just don't call those girls in here!
NB: So glad you agree with me.
Kurama: Well I guess that's all. Please Review.
NB: Bye! ^_^
Kai: Well you've had writer's block plus school is ending and you're worried about your grades though I don't see why. But did you have to write the next chapter of, Of A Deep Blue too?!
NB: Yeah. I kinda do them at the same time. Oh people before you start wondering Destiny's Angel has Ray with him (took him from the reviews on Disney Beyblade) and Kirara trying to get him back for me since she wants me to finish updating my stories first.
Kai: So if Ray and Kirara aren't here then who's doing the disclaimers?
NB: Good question. Since I agreed not to make you or Ray do them I got to find someone else. But who?
Kai: Tyson, Max, Kenny.
NB: I banned Tyson from coming onto the authoress notes since chapter 2 in More Than Meets the Eye. Max is helping his dad around the store since their sales have sky rocketed since you guys won the World Championships. I have no idea where Kenny is.
Kai: Another Anime Character.
NB: Would if I could. I could take them from their section and I'll be mobbed by fans (if they have one) I'm not about to ask reform (or still are) bad guys and there is no way the All Stars, Demolition Boys, and Majestics are coming in here. The White Tigers are training and in China anyway.
Kai: So who is going to do the Disclaimers?
NB: Are you willing to let me use Dranzer? Neka helping Kirara.
Kai: No.
NB: How about..
Kai: No I don't think she would like that.
NB: My aren't we protective of their girlfriend.
Kai: If you weren't my sister (in the stories) I would be hurting you right now.
NB: Well I can't get this chapter started without disclaimer.
Kai: What about you?
NB: Kai you know I hate doing them.
**Kurama runs in, shuts the door and leans against it. The sound of fan girls pounding on the door could be heard.**
NB: Kurama prefect timing.
Kai: o.O Who?
NB: From Yu Yu Hakusho. One of my new favorite shows. Kurama's my favorite there. Which reminds I should introduce Hiei. He kinda reminds me of you a bit. Then again I could probably name one character from each anime that reminds me of you.
Kurama: *deep breaths** some of those girls are crazy.

Though Hoshi admit that she didn't mind her brother's need to make sure she was safe it did get annoying at time. Then again most elder brother even if they were a few minutes older held some reason to protect their baby sister if they had one. Well maybe not but why complain?
Hoshi twirled a bit of her hair as she walked through the park. Nightfall had come rather quick and stars were appearing in the sky. *Better start heading back before we get Kai's lecture about leaving without telling someone,* mused Hoshi. A smile played on her lips as she was lost in her own little world. She never noticed one that there was a shadow looming over her.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
Kai noticed that his sister wasn't around and her energy was faint meaning she was far away.
~*~
Hoshi quicken her paced as she walked through the park. For some reason she had this hunch that something was going to happen and she wasn't going to like it very much.
Suddenly she felt herself against the truck of a nearby tree and felt a pair of lips touch hers. It took but a few seconds to focus on her was kissing her. Hoshi's eyes widen as she recognize who it was.
She pushed the person off her and stepped back. A flame lit in her eyes. "YOU!!!!!"
~*~
Kai's crimson eyes snapped opened. He suddenly felt Hoshi's power level skyrocket. It wasn't a good sign. It only did that when she was pissed and judging for the height of her power level she was pretty pissed. Kai was suddenly worried. Ray had felt to try and find Hoshi just to make sure she was alright but for Hoshi to be showing this much power even on her worse day well it would make Satan himself think twice about getting her angry.
That was when something clicked in Kai's mind. There was only one person Hoshi could be this mad at. He stormed out of the room telling the others that he would be right back. Tyson gave a glance at his love knowing that something was up. "Kai," he asked.
"Hn," replied Kai.
"Are you alright? You seem rather mad," asked Tyson. His voice was filled with concern. He could tell that something was not right.
"It's nothing. If something does happen I'll tell you," said Kai, half lying.
"Promise," questioned Tyson.
"Promise," Kai promised.

Ray wandered through the streets looking for his friend. He couldn't seem to find her anywhere. He suddenly felt Hoshi's energy spike up. Fear suddenly gripped Ray. For some reason he was suddenly worried about Hoshi. He started to run. It was coming from the park.
*Hoshi please be alright,* he thought.

NB: Well I say that was a very good chapter what do you think?
Kurama: Okay I guess.
Kai: Hn.
Kurama: You should really meet my friend Hiei.
**Hiei comes running in**
Hiei: Stupid fan girls.
NB: NANI?!!!!!
**Kai glared at Hiei who in return just glared at Hoshi and started a glaring match with Kai.**
NB: Fine then. Maybe I should just tell those 'crazy fan girls' that you're in here.
Hiei: O.O You wouldn't.
NB: **Evil Grin** Just watch me.
Hiei: Alright! I take it all back! Just don't call those girls in here!
NB: So glad you agree with me.
Kurama: Well I guess that's all. Please Review.
NB: Bye! ^_^
