Kai: Of course no one's reviewing. Your story sucks. And Laynie is annoying.
Me: It don't, or at least I dun think so! And Laynie isn't annoying!!!
Kai: Pah
Ray: Dun worry, dragon-eyes22. I'm sure that they just haven't figured out that you've updated.
Me: U think? Maybe they hate the way I spell… And I updated for like ten days ago…
Kai: U guys see? She can't even spell properly!
Me: *eyes starts to water*
Kai: Make her stop before she starts to cry! *Looks at Ray*
Ray: Come on, dragon-eyes22. It's not your fault that you're from a non-English speaking country. And your story isn't (so) bad.
Kai: Yes it is.
Ray: Kai! Dragon-eyes22 brought us here to cheer her up, not to insult her!
Kai: Hmph, I'm just telling her the truth. Someone's gotta do it…
Me: *starts to cry in anime style, like a fountain*
Kai and Ray sweatdrops…
Ray: Please, R&R so we can get an end to this!

(A/N) And, I've decided to change that Melvin guy into Bruce, the guy in Beyblade Season One: Showdown in Hong Kong (I think it's the name).
Disclaimer: I don't own either Beyblade or its characters. I DO own Laynie and her bitbeast. Hopefully…
Chapter Six: The White Tigers II- "When will the White Tigers arrive?" Laynie sat in the black couch, watching Ray, Tyson and Max settle things to the 'Big Move Night'.
- "Any minute now." Answered Ray and sank down next to Laynie.
Laynie remembered Mariah and Ray's warm reunion and gave Ray a little push. She smiled teasingly.
- "So, what's your relationship with Mariah then? More than the fact that pink must be your favorite color?"
Ray turned red. "What do you mean? I grew up with her…" said he and avoided Laynie's gaze. "We're good friends…"
- "Yeah, suuuure." Laynie rose from the comfortable position, chuckling.
[Damn Laynie! How could she know that I'm in love with Mariah!] Cursed Ray under his breathe, watching Laynie walk into the kitchen and Kai.
- "Hey, Kai. Are you gonna stay tonight?" said Laynie and opened the fridge. "And do you know if we got any ice cream?"
Kai raised one eyebrow. "Why shouldn't I stay? And I don't think we got any ice cream. But if you want some you can take the credit card and buy some."
(A/N: I don't know how the credit cards are working exactly, cause I don't have one… I've to turn sixteen, and it's only 11 days to The Big Day!)
- "Thanks Kai! Do you want some?" smiled Laynie and gazed at Kai.
- "I don't eat ice cream." He muttered.
- "What? Ice cream is probably the best thing that ever have been invented!"
Kai smirked. He wasn't into sweet and ice cream, but Laynie seemed to like ice cream for two…
- "Okay, see you later then!" continued Laynie and left the kitchen.
[Wow! I just had a normal conversation with Kai! Well, as normal as a person who don't like ice cream can be…] She thought when she opened the door and left the hotel room.
~*~ Half an hour later… ~*~
Laynie sat in the black couch between Kai and Lee. The move had just started and it was some romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez.
- "The Wedding Planner!? Who chose this movie?" Laynie looked at the people around her.
Mariah blushed and giggled. "I did. Its something wrong with it?"
Laynie shook her head. "Never mind." She said and returned to the TV.
But a quarter later, she gave up a final sigh and rose.
- "Okay, I've had enough. It's nothing wrong with your movie Mariah, but I can't stand another minute watching that kind of stuff." She nodded at the TV where Jennifer Lopez said something less clever…
And with 'that kind of stuff' she meant all the giggling, all the faked smiles and all the stupid lines the actors said in every minute.
Before someone could even say a word, she left the couch and went into hers and Kai's bedroom.
[Sorry Mariah, but that kind of movie isn't my style…] She thought and flopped down onto her soft bed.
She grabbed her backpack and brought up her sketchbook. She got the right page up and Kai's eyes gazed back at her. She smiled without noticing and picked up the pen to finish the painting. She could hear the noised from the TV.
The picture of Kai standing in front of his red Dranzer was her best ever and the only thing remaining was coloring Kai's eyes. She went to the desk to get better light and started to color Kai's (beautiful) eyes.
- "Are you sure that that's my color?"
Laynie turned her head and met the real Kai. She was surprised but came back enough to give back a smart reply.
- "I wasn't sure but since you're here now, maybe I can compare?"
- "Yeah, sure. Take a good look." Kai leant closer to Laynie and for anyone else, it would have looked liked they was going to kiss each other.
Laynie gazed into Kai's crimson eyes. [How deep can an eye be?] She thought and nearly lost herself.
[Get a grip Laynie!] She cursed and snapped put of the trance. She pulled her head backward.
- "Thanks for the look, I think I'll use a darker pen." She said, trying to sound nonchalant. But in fact, she was confused. Confused of the affect Kai's eyes had on her…
- "No problems. You know that everything suits a beauty huh?" replied Kai in a teasing tone.
Laynie forced herself into a cheering tone when she answered. "Oh, a joke from the cold Kai? Are you sure that you're okay?"
- "Hmph." Kai glared at her. [Why did I feel like I wanted her so close to me?]
(A/N: Aaaawww! What a crazy sentence!!! My grammar must be broken, have to leave it for reparation…)
- "So…" said Laynie and tried to change the subject before Kai decided to leave. This was a great opportunity to get closer to him. "Is the move over already?"
Kai simply nodded and was just about to say something when the door swung open. Max looked in with a cheery smile.
- "Hey, there you are! You have to come out now!" He said in a hyper tone.
- "Is he…?" began Laynie and looked at Kai.
- "Sugar high? Yes." Replied Kai and sighed.
They followed Max back to the living room, not having the strength to argue with him on sugar… Laynie found them eating the ice cream she had bought.
She frowned. "It better be some ice cream left or otherwise it's going to be very bloody…"
- "Don't worry, Laynie." Smiled Mariah. "I made Tyson left five."
[Five? Gee, thanks…] thought Laynie and sank down next to Ray and Mariah.
- "Can't we play Truth or Dare?" asked Mariah and beamed.
Laynie snorted. "Truth or Dare? I thought it was something you did in fourth grade?" She said and received a glare from Mariah.
Ray smiled towards Mariah. "I can play. Since we don't have something better to do…"
Mariah blushed deep and gave up a nervous giggle.
- "Yeah, why not? I'm in." Tyson shrugged and Max agreed.
- "I got the perfect Consequent…" smirked Lee and showed his cat-like fangs.
~*~ Ten minutes later… ~*~
- "Okay, Laynie's turn." Tyson turned to Laynie.
- "Come on, this is so boring!" She complained, stretching her arms in the air yawning. Her top slipped up and showed her tiger tattoo.
Mariah's eyes widened and she gasped. "Oh, is that a REAL tattoo?" She said, taking a closer look.
- "Yeah." Laynie nodded. She felt uncomfortable having Mariah so close.
Mariah got the hint and settled back at her spot next to Ray. "Didn't it hurt?"
Laynie gazed around her and everyone was looking at her and the tattoo.
- "No, not much. And can you please stop staring at me?"
- "Uh, sorry!" replied Lee and laughed. Laynie glared at him and it got them to laugh even more.
Laynie rose with an "Hmph".
- "Laynie, come back! We're not laughing at you!" shouted Max and Laynie stopped in the doorway.
She turned her head. "I've had enough of this stupid game. I'm going down to practice."
Tyson glanced at Max smirking. "Yeaaaah, can't we have a mini tournament? Please, please, please?"
He tugged Kai's arm. "Please, please, please, please!?"
- "Get off me!" snarled Kai and shoved Tyson of.
- "Did anyone say tournament?" Laynie's head could be seen in the doorway again.
- "Yeah! Laynie is into it!" Tyson let go on Kai and rushed over to Laynie and started to tug her arm instead.
Laynie looked at him with disgust. "I never said that. Is it so smart to give them all of our techniques and strategy just before the Championship?"
- "Man, stop acting like Kai!" sighed Tyson.
- "I don't have anything against having the mini tournament. We already know most of your beyblade style…" shrugged Lee, who's the leader of the White Tigers.
Everyone, except Kai, was now looking at Laynie.
She glared at them. "Hey, I'm not the captain here! It's him over there!" She informed and nodded towards Kai who crossed his arms in usual manner.
- "Fine. Tyson could use some practice." He replied, receiving loud protests from Tyson.
~*~ Down in the training room… ~*~
Mariah held up a piece of paper, standing in front of the two teams.
- "Okay, first up are Tyson and Kevin. Next, Ray and Max. Me and Laynie. Kai and Gary. And last, Lee and Bruce. And to make it a quick final, the last five will battle against each other and the last one spinning is the winner. Okay?"
- "Excuse me, but aren't we uneven?" said Kai and Laynie at the same time.
Kai glared at Laynie. "I suggest that after the first rounds, the five remaining
- "Yay, what are we waiting for?" shouted Tyson and placed himself at one end of the dish. Kevin smirked and put his beyblade onto the launcher.
- "Be ready to loose Tyson." He said.
Tyson snorted. "Hah, that what's you're thinking huh?"
Max counted them down. "THREE… TWO … ONE … LEEET IIIT RIIIP!"
(A/N: Okay, I'm just gonna describe the battles that I think of interesting cause I don't find writing them is too fun…)
Tyson won, pretty easily but Kevin pretended that it just was a fluke.
- "Okay, Ray and Max's up then!" said Mariah cheerfully and blushed when Ray smiled at her.
[We're just friends. My ass.] Snorted Laynie inside her head, watching them.
Ray and Max's battle lasted longer and they were more equal. Ray won, cause his blade had more endurance than Max's.
Mariah blushed even more when she congratulated Ray. He just smiled at her.
Kai stepped up to the dish, facing the gigantic Gary on the other side. He put Dranzer onto the launcher and got ready.
- "Three…Two…One…Let It Rip!"
Kai and Gary launched their blades into the classic bowl and they started to circle around before Kai put in the first attack. Gary's blade wobbled for a second, but regained its strength immediately.
- "What does the stats say, Dizzy?" asked Laynie without taking her eyes from the battle.
- "Hey, I'm an over-working computer! Give me a break!" replied Dizzy before loading up some pages.
- "According to the stats, Kai should be the winner. Dranzer's powers is on the top and the speed is incredible." Kenny typed in some commandos on the laptop.
And Kai turned out as the winner too. Laynie gazed at Kai as he caught his blade.
- "Congratulations Kai. Looks like you've gotten even better." Mumbled Gary and picked up his blade from the dish.
- "Hmph." Replied Kai and stepped down from the dish. He's face was unreadable and reserved.
[He just beat Gary totally and it looks like he doesn't care at all…] thought Laynie when she passed him on her way to the dish. She tried to catch his gaze but he avoided her. [Well, I don't care. All I want now is to kick Pinkie's butt!]
Mariah gave Ray a last smile and went up onto the dish towards Laynie.
- "So, Laynie? You ready? Cause I'm not gonna show you any mercy at all!" Mariah put her pink blade onto the launcher and her eyes narrowed into cat-like slits.
[You think so Mariah? Just wait and see…] Laynie never spoke or insulted her challengers, she thought of it as a waste of air plus the fact that her silence made her challengers nervous.
- "THREE… TWO… ONE… LEEET IIT RIIIP!"
- "Who's gonna win this Chief?" Tyson gazed over Kenny's shoulder, trying to get a glimpse of Dizzi's screen.
(A/N: U notice that I've changed my way of spelling Dizzy/-I? I watched beyblade already and discovered that I've spelled it wrong all the time!)
Kenny frowned. "Let's see. Neither Mariah or Laynie has faced each other in a beybattle before nor that means that none of them got any advantage in that point. But, Laynie's got a little advantage in her speed." He said, typing on Dizzi.
- "Go Drizzler!" shouted Laynie and watched her diamond blade circle around Mariah's pink one. The speed and transparent color made the blade almost invisible.
Mariah's eyes widened. "Is your blade made of diamond?" She asked.
- "Wow, someone's been awake on the chemistry class!" snorted Laynie and kept her eyes on the dish.
- "Maybe, but a blade of diamond won't help you when my Galux has showed her true power! Galux, Mountain Cat Attack!"
The pink blade fly into the air and started it's path back down, right at Drizzler.
- "Drizzler! Move aside, NOW!" commanded Laynie and Drizzler move aside with a quick move, making Galux crash into the dish with all it's power.
- "NO!!! How could I miss!?" cried Mariah and watched her blade wobble.
[Darn, I'm losing it!] She thought. "Galux, come on out and show them!"
The pink blade released a pink tiger-similar bitbeast, crying out loud.
- "Sorry Mariah, but you're not the only one to have a tiger bitbeast." Smirked Laynie. "Come out Drizzler and give them the eye of a tiger!"
I've been fighting every day and night, gonna do my best to put you away
Drizzler picked up even more speed and circled around Mariah's Galux, now invisible if you didn't keep an eye on it at the beginning.
- "Where's your blade?!" gasped Mariah, febrile looking down into the dish.
- "You can't see it?" replied Laynie, trying to sound innocent.
Get beside yourself get ready to play, if you ever wanna make it
Galux spun around in the middle of the dish, not knowing what to do when Drizzler couldn't be seen. Laynie smirked. She had kept her eyes on Drizzler and knew perfectly where it was. The blade was like a shining line around the pink blade.
If you think you gonna rip me up against the wall, let it rip and get ready to fall!
- "Let's go Drizzler! Blizzard!" yelled Laynie.
The diamond blade hit the pink one with a loud crash and Mariah's Galux flied out of the dish, landing in the other side of the room.
No one spoke a single word, just looking from Laynie to her blade.
She frowned. "What? Next, Lee and Bruce huh? What are you waiting for?" She said and caught her blade in her palm.
- "Excuse me?" One of the hotel's staff stood in the doorway. "But which of you is the Bladebreakers?"
- "That would be us then. Why are you asking?" replied Tyson.
- "We've some guest who want to me you."
Laynie looked behind the staff's back. She could see five people standing there, but it was to dark to see their faces.
- "Name, please?" She said and crossed her arms.
- "I think it's the All-Stars."
