Author: White Tiger Girl

Rating: PG 13

White Tiger Girl: Didn't think I'd come back did you? Well guess what! I'm back and with another chapter. I finally decided to sit down and write this chapter.

Kai: Which means she got some pizza, candy, and some sodas and then started to write.

White Tiger Girl: *hides chocolate bars* What candy and snacks? I don't have any candy.

Kai: *snatches chocolate bar and eats it*

White Tiger Girl: Hey! That was mine!

Kai: You said you didn't have any candy therefore I didn't eat your candy. I ate nobody's candy.

White Tiger Girl: -_-;; For not updating this is going to be a long chapter. So it's going to be rushing things but don't worry the story goes on. Guess what? I don't own Beyblade but enjoy the story.

Chapter 6 Explanations

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hibra! Sacred Inferno!" Balls of black fire shoot at Dragoon before he was able to react. Dragoon was forced to withdraw from the battle and left the bowl.

"That leaves the fate of this match in the hands of Kai and Rika!" The battle went by fast just like how Kai intended. He didn't feel like toying with his opponent today.

"The BladeBreakers are our winner! They will advance!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Days later they won the semi finals and it was the BladeBreakers against the Lighting Team. Everyone else but Kai was thrilled about their recent victories. They were in Kenny's hotel room planning what to do. Everyone's mind was focused on tomorrow's match. Well everyone except a certain blue haired boy. His mind wandered toward a figure. A certain girl that has occupied his mind lately.

"Kai?"

"Kai!" Kai snapped up to see who had called him.

"Hm?" Was all he said

"What do you think of the strategy? Does it sound a bit obvious?" Kenny asked Kai. Kai didn't heard a single word he said.

'Just in case you weren't listening, He said that that Tyson should go first then Max, and lastly you. Rei will be benched.' Dranzer said in Kai's mind. Kai growled at his know-it-all bitbeast.

'I do have ears Dranzer! And I can hear just fine.'

'Yes, but I know you weren't paying attention, as your mind was occupied by that girl Melody.'

'Shut up Dranzer! I don't care about her nor will I ever'

'Ah! But there was a time when she was the most precious thing you had in the world.'

'It's all in the past. And I thought that night she..........'

"Kai?" Kenny asked again wondering what was on the teen's mind.

"It's great" Kai got up and left the room without another word. Leaving his teammates wondering what made Kai so uncomfortable.

~~~~~~~Kai's P.O.V~~~~~~~~

'Tomorrow is the day of the finals but I feel something is wrong'

'There possible could be young Kai'  Instead of chasing Dranzer out of his mind he allowed Dranzer to talk to him.

'But what is it?'

'It could be your heart'

'My heart?'

'Yes your heart is telling you something is wrong.'

'What is wrong?'

'We all make mistakes Kai but the important thing is accepting you did something wrong and correct yourself. You are letting your pride get in the way of your heart. In doing so you made the biggest mistake of your life.'

'What is it?'

'Giving up and losing hope.'  Dranzer left Kai's mind to let him think about what he just said.

'Giving up and losing hope.' Kai repeated in his mind. Kai soon found him at the door of his room and opened it slowly as I afraid of what or who might be there. He looked into the empty room and looked at the dark corners. Sighing in relief that no one was there.

He locked the door and once again took out the blue box. He dug out a half melted beyblade and clenched it tightly as if afraid to lose it. Tears rolled down his face recalling the memory.

~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~

"I love it Kai! And it's so pretty too!"

"Why don't we have a beybattle to test out your new blade?" An excited Kai said.

"Yea!!" The two children readied their beyblades and shoot it right into the bowl. Instantly the bright blue one was knocked out.

"What did I do wrong Kai?" The girl said disappointedly as she tried not to cry.

"You didn't do anything wrong Melody. You just need to practice a bit more." Kai went over to her and put his hands over her tiny hands.

"Like this." Kai moved his hand along with her's. The beyblade spun around the bowl and landed in the middle.

"Wow Kai! I want to be just as good as you! I wish I was as good as you!" She looked into the dish with admiration. Kai blushed a bit.

"I'm not really that good." Kai admitted looking at the only friend he had.

"Yes you are! You're going to be number one, one day! You're going to be the champion!" She encouraged as Kai flushed up again.

~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~

Little Melody was right too. Kai did become a champion. This gave Kai the courage to beat anyone. Even if it was his best friend from many years ago.

~~~~~Next day~~~~~

"Welcome to the Championship match!! The Lightning Team vs. The BladeBreakers!!" Jazzman shouted through the microphone.

"First we have Tyson from the BladeBreakers! This boy will keep on fighting till the very end with his Dragoon!" A.J announced

"And from The Lightning Team we have Ryan! He's a serious blader and his bitbeast Kenta will back him up!" Brad said.

"Bladers ready? 3, 2, 1 LET IT RIP!!!"

"You're going down!" Ryan said after launching his beyblade.

"I'm gonna mop the floor with ya!" Tyson said after launching his beyblade as well.

As soon as Dragoon reached the bowl he came out and attacked Kenta. Kenta emerged from his beyblade. He was a black jaguar.

"Maul his Dragoon Kenta! No mercy!" Ryan commanded. Kenta attacked Dragoon viciously.

"Dragoon! Enough games! Let's finish this! Phantom Hurricane!!" Tyson yelled. This knocked Kenta right out of the dish.

"The next battle will be Max vs. Jason!" This was a quick battle and it ended with Jason winning with his silver wolf, Zerox.

"Now we have our last match to determine our Champions!"

"We have Kai from the BladeBreakers and Melody from The Lightning Team!!"

~~~~~~Melody P.O.V~~~~~

(I've been waiting for this day for such a long time

But deep inside I didn't want it to happen

Deep down I wanted peace

But I know I need to do this)

This was it. It was finally me vs. Kai. I will show him a thing or two. I launch my beyblade, Riashu and so did Kai as he launch his Dranzer. Then Kai spoke to me.

"Melody. I want some answers. I thought you died in the fire." I gave him a cruel laugh.

"Yeah I would have died! You only helped yourself! I remember clearly what happened on that day!"

~~~~Flashback~~~~~

"Kai! Thank you for helping me! You're my best friend!"

"It's nothing." Kai said breezily

"I want you to come with me and how some milk and cookies." Little Melody had a mischievous smile on her face.

"Mommy and Daddy are gone today so they wouldn't know!" They went to the kitchen and ate the cookies and then went up to Melody's room.

"They were good weren't they?" Little Melody said smiling at Kai.

(We were once very good friends

Then all of that changed

When you decided……

When you decided to betray me)

"Yup! C'mon! I'll show you great beyblading moves!"

 "Ok!" As the walk down the hall they smelled smoke.

"Fire! I smell fire!" Kai yelled. Melody panicked and ran to Kai.

"What should we do?"

"C'mon run!" They ran as fast as their little legs could take them. They ran but saw the exit was blocked by fire. They ran in a different direction. Little Melody tripped and fell.

"Are you ok?" Kai helped her up.

"Yeah" Melody got up but saw one of the supports was falling right on top if Kai. "Watch out!" Melody pushed Kai aside. Her leg was caught under the support.

"I'll get you out!" Little Kai yelled trying to pull the support up. More supports fell. Kai saw it was hopeless. "I'll come back to get you! I'll find help!" Kai ran away from the fire.

(You betrayed me

You left me there when you said you come back

You said you will never leave me

But in the end you did)

"Hurry Kai!" Minutes passed and no one still came for her. There were shouts outside no one came. She shed a tear and cried for one last hope for her.

(You shattered my heart into millions of pieces

You sent me to a realm of darkness

A place away from everyone

A place where I was forgotten

I waited and waited

But you never came back

Tears of hurt rolled down my eyes

When I realized you weren't coming back)

Suddenly a flash of blue light appeared before her. It was like a blue tiger with spikes coming from its body (imagine it as if it were the Chinese thunder beast Riashu like in Card Captor Sakura capturing the Thunder Card) It let out a fierce roar and smashed the support. It got Melody onto it's back and carried it off and outside. Riashu jumped over the fire trucks and police cars. Kai was nowhere from sight.

~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~

(Everyday of my life after that

I planned to destroy you too

But when the time finally came

I found that I couldn't

You were too deep in my heart

Too deep to let go

Too deep for me to forget

But I would never forget how you betrayed me

When you left me alone in darkness

And I stayed there

I didn't have the courage to leave

I was nothing without you)

"You betrayed me! You left me there to die!" Melody yelled. Kai soften ad let down his mask of coldness.

"You're wrong I never betrayed you."

(Many years passed

And you still didn't come back

Come back to me

And take me away from the darkness

I lost faith and let the darkness consume me

I let the darkness into my heart

Into the soul you vowed to protect

And into the space you once took up

Another few years have past and I saw you

The ice around my heart melted knowing you came back

But you acted like it never happened

You pretended like you never knew me)

~~~~~Flashback~~~~

"Who started the fire sir?"

"We don't know what the cause was ma'am."

"My friend is still in there! Go get her!!" Kai yelled

"Sorry son but we can't."

"Then I'll go!" Kai began to run toward the house. The fireman grabbed Kai and held him. "Let me go! I wanna go back!" Kai kicked and squirmed.

"No! Stay here!"

"Sir there are no other survivors."

"Yes there is! Go back!"

"I'm sorry son but no one is left!" A tear rolled down Kai's eyes. Voltaire arrived.

"You heard him! There are no survivors! You will come home with me!" Kai didn't want to go.

"No!"

"Yes you will!!" Voltaire grabbed Kai and put him in the limo and drove away. Kai looked back through the glass of the limo and looked at the burning building. One thing kept going through him mind: 'No other survivors'

~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~

(Then a light

A strong light lifted me from the darkness

And into the light

You were my light

And you took me from the darkness

I looked at you

And knew I was wrong)

A tear rolled down Melody's eyes. She was wrong about Kai. He tried to help her but they wouldn't let him. He was taken away by Voltaire, which was way she didn't see him.

"I'm sorry Kai. I was wrong." Another tear escaped her eyes, "Please forgive me." She choked out  "I want us to start over and become friends again."

"No need to be sorry. And we're still friends. We've been friends for all these years." They were to caught up in the moment that they didn't notice Dranzer knock out Riashu.

"And our winner is Kai from the BladeBreakers! The BladeBreakers are our new Champions!"

Kai and Melody noticed the outcome of the battle. They smiled at each other and walked over to each other. They started off with a slight handshake and ended with a hug.

(You never meant to hurt me

You never meant to leave me

I was just blinded by my own hate

Blinded by my sorrow

But now you've opened up my eyes

And I see clearly now

You were always there

Right there by my side)

"I'm sorry I lost hope that you were alive and gave up." Kai said

"It's ok. I've missed you Kai." Melody said as another tear rolled down her face. This time a tear of happiness. "I knew you were going to be number one."
