*****************************************************************************************************



There is a tournament that will be taking place that will invite all teams that had competed in the World Championships and some teams that could have competed come back for another tournament that will let some prove that they were better than some winners. The BladeBreakers was here of course, the WhiteTigers, and a team that is in the same league as those two, the BeyPanthers. The battle stadium and hotel were very high tech, in fact the best one ever built. Each team had a practice room, including their own team themed dish and a big space to do whatever they want with their Beyblades. Besides the tournament, something else was going to happen that maybe a bit more interesting than that.

Everyone knows Rei is one of the cute boys in the BladeBreakers and little did he know, two girls will fight over who he likes soon enough. Mariah from his old team, the WhiteTigers and Kaorai, a girl from a team called the BeyPanthers, one of the China teams. Rei met Kaorai at a tournament when he was with the WhiteTigers and that's where the fight started. The BeyPanthers defeated the WhiteTigers but still treated them like equal and were good friends. Kaorai had been Rei's friend for a long time and they remembered that when Rei said she looked like a girl he used to know when he was a little kid about two years old. He remembered a girl that had brown hair like hers that played with him all the time and helped him out when he was in trouble. Rei had met Mariah when he was small too, but Rei met Kaorai three years before Mariah. Kaorai hadn't liked him then but now she didn't know if she did. He had changed since she last saw him, before she moved almost eight years ago. Mariah knew what she was up to and told Kaorai to stay away from him and that he was hers already. Kaorai wouldn't give up because they weren't an item yet so she still had a chance. She left with her team and didn't see Rei for a year but now they shall cross paths again at the Golden Sphinx Tournament.

"Rei, is that you? Rei! I'm so glad to see you! How have you been doing?" Kaorai's voice came from behind Rei as he talked to his team. He turned around to answer to the familiar voice that he had no doubt was Kaorai.

"Hey Kaorai!" Was all he could say when Kaorai jumped and embraced him tightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled at him. Rei blushed as he looked at Kaorai holding on to him and smiled back. As she let go, Rei caught his breath and tried again to answer her. "I'm not in the WhiteTigers anymore, I'm in the BladeBreakers now. These are my friends, Kai, Tyson, Kenny, and Max. Everyone meet Kaorai, my friend since I was two." Rei looked around and then looked at Kaorai. "Where's the other BeyPanthers, Kaorai?" Rei asked.

At the words that he wasn't near Mariah anymore, Kaorai's happiness grew. She was so excited to see him after a year and now that adds more to her excitement. She didn't have to fight over Rei with Mariah. Mariah wasn't here to take him away from her. Although Kaorai loved Rei as a friend more than anything in the world, after that day when he saved her from being beat up, she now wanted him as a boyfriend.

"Oh, they're practicing. I knew you would be here and I wanted to see you." Kaorai told Rei, as she still thought of how good it felt to spend time with Rei without bratty Mariah around to bug her and keep her away.

Unfortunately, Mariah and the WhiteTigers were near. They wouldn't miss a tournament for anything and Mariah was eager to see Rei once again. She got her team to go see the BladeBreakers when they first arrived.

"Hello, Kaorai. What are you doing here stRei from your pack? Did they abandon you and your useless Grinder bit beast?" Kaorai turned to see her rival, walking with the other WhiteTigers behind her.

"Mariah." Kaorai growled with anger as she lunged at Mariah. Rei pulled Kaorai back as her arms were almost about to choke Mariah to death. Kaorai felt his arms around her waist and stopped immediately. She had never seen him do that before.

"Kaorai, never mind her." Rei told her. "Mariah, what's gotten into you? Kaorai came to see me. Back off."

Kaorai smiled as Rei defended her. She couldn't tell if he was defending her because she was his long time friend or because he loved her. Either way, Kaorai liked it.

"I was just having a little fun, Rei." Mariah explained. Why does this poor excuse for a Beyblader have to be in my way all the time? She thought. Now she's made Rei mad at me!

Flames shot from Mariah's eyes and headed towards Kaorai. Kaorai's eyes did the same thing and the two flames collided in the middle, making a invisible ball of fire. They didn't hate each other, they just wanted Rei.

Tyson, Kai, Max, and Kenny had stopped talking and looked at the two girls, each on one side of Rei. Both girls looked at each other with hatred.

"We're leaving." Mariah said hesitantly. She waited for Rei's reaction but it wasn't the reaction she had expected. Instead of a friendly, "don't leave yet," Rei said the opposite.

"Finally." Rei muttered under his breath. He had enough of Mariah being mean to Kaorai every time they were together in one room. He didn't know why but they had a war going on about, about something he had no clue of. (Rei is kind of clueless, but if all guys knew that a girl liked him in an instance, that would be a lot of girls' downfall. Not me though.)

Mariah's eyes widened as she heard the word come from Rei, it seemed to echo in her mind that he didn't like her, even though it had already disappeared into the air. She told herself it was because of Kaorai that he said something like that and she felt fine again.

Kaorai watched with Rei as Mariah disappeared out the door of their practice room. She changed her gaze from the door to Rei and watched him for a few seconds. She jumped as she looked at her dark green watch.

"Oh! I've gotta go! I'm so late, oh they are going to kill me! Bye guys!" She waved at Tyson, Kai, Kenny, and Max. "Bye Rei!" She ran up to him and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. Then she ran out the door with dust following her.

"Uh, uh..." Rei blinked. He touched his cheek where Kaorai had kissed and his eyes widened. "Uh, uh..."

Tyson walked to him with a big grin on his face. He faced Rei, still looking like he was paralyzed.

"Rei, my man, this'll be harder than a tournament." Tyson continued smiling at Rei.

"Uh, what?" Rei didn't know what Tyson was saying. He didn't get it. "Tyson, what do you mean?"

Max and Kenny started grinning and walked next to Tyson. Kai walked silently to the bench near the practice dish and sat down. Anyone could tell he was a little annoyed.

"You don't get it?" Max asked Rei. "Anyone could tell why Mariah and Kaorai were so high tempered a few minutes ago. It's because of you."

"Huh? Me? What do I have to do with anything?" Rei asked in return, finally fully back to his senses.

"Rei, are you serious? You don't know why Mariah and Kaorai act like they were fighting over their lives?" Tyson asked, now looking at Rei almost seriously.

"I don't get it. sorry you guys, I'm not sure what you mean." Rei pointed out again.

"They both like you, Rei. Can't you tell that whenever you are around and they happen to be around, they fight and make insults?" Max said, trying to make a point.

"What? That can't be true. They both LIKE me? Are you sure?" Rei knew if that were true, there would be problems.

"Believe it, Rei. We saw how they both looked at you and how Kaorai kissed you. We've go enough proof." Kenny said, finally saying something.

Rei's golden eyes showed that he was believing it. He just didn't know what to do.

"What's the problem, Rei? So girls like you, let's get back to training for the tournament." Kai's annoyed voice cam from behind him. "Give it up, Rei. You don't really believe that."

"Uh, right, let's get back to practice." Rei said. What else could he do now?

"What about Mariah and Kaorai?" Tyson wanted to know what he would do about it.

"I'll deal with that later, Tyson. We have to be ready for all the teams that try to beat us." Rei had to do something, that was for sure. His cute white fangs showed as he smiled at Tyson. "We're the BladeBreakers and we never lose so don't start now."

The rest of the day was training, training, and, you guessed it, more training. The tournament didn't start for four days and already, they were training like it was going to happen right then and there. Rei had time to think about what he had on his hands now. Two girls, one was his like his best friend, the other was once his teammate. Both were girls who he liked to hang out with. How could he possible choose?
