Spring breaks over, and we're all back in school. I got out early today, and a day off tomorrow, so I'll upload at least two chapters.

Chapter 3 – Zarine

The Bladebreakers rushed towards Zarine, for the first time, they noticed why she was kneeling. There were a deep cut on each of her leg, blood was gashing out of them. They also noticed how pretty she was, even Kai had to admit to himself that Zarine was the best looking girl he met. Ray was simply stunned, he had never seen someone with that kind of looks before.

"Thanks for you help. They are a bunch of weasels. If they hadn't cut my legs, I'd have beaten them in a flash," Zarine said. Her face was calm, but her dark green eyes were full of anger.

"We'll go back to the cabin and take care of your wounds there. Can you stand? Max asked.

"I'll try," she said. She attempted to stand, but fell back down again with a gasp of pain.

"I'll run back and get the first-aid box. Oh ya, where is it anyway?" Tyson asked.

"In the cupboard beneath the sink in the bathroom," Kenny answered.

Tyson took off immediately. Kenny muttered, "I hope he knows where the bathroom is."

Ray stood gawking at her until Max elbowed him hard in the ribs, "You really shouldn't gawk at a girl like you haven't seen one before, no matter how pretty she is."

Tyson was back in a flash with the first-aid box. Kenny started bandaging her cuts. Ray introduced the team to Zarine, "I'm Ray, the one with the hat on is Tyson, the blonde hair one is Max. Kenny is the one with the laptop. Kai is our team captain, the one standing against the tree."

"So you guys are the Bladebreakers?" Zarine asked, surprised.

"Yep! So why were those people after you?" Ray asked curiously.

She looked at him for a few moments before answering him, "Oh, they were just bitter I could beat all of them under a minute every time we battle."

He was startled to see her eyes were a sky blue instead of dark green. He looked at her eyes, and began, "Um...Zarine..."

"Oh, you're wondering about my eyes. Ya, they change colors according to my emotions. I wish they don't, they betray feelings I'd rather people not know," she said.

Tyson was surprised to hear that. He thought she had gorgeous eyes. "Zarine, any girl would be dying to have eyes like yours," he said.

Zarine just smiled. Kenny said, "I think you're good to go now. Why don't you come and stay for the night? It's getting late and I don't think anyone live close by here."

"Thanks!" she said gratefully, she didn't have anywhere to stay that night.

"So what are you guys doing here?" Zarine asked.

"Well, we are competing in the Beyblade tournament in Hong Kong and Mr. Dickenson, head of the BBA, sent us here for four days to train," Max answered.

When they got back to the cabin, the sun was setting. (It took them a long time to get to the training camp), Ray said, "I'm going to prepare dinner now. I'm telling you, Tyson, if you're still hungry at the end of the meal, I'm not cooking for you."

Zarine was surprised to hear that, "You can cook? I'll help, maybe you'll be better than me!"

"Okay, if you want to." Ray said.

Zarine and Ray left for the kitchen. As soon as Ray closed the door, Tyson said, "Wow, she is beautiful!"

"Not to mention hot!" Max added.

"I wonder what she was doing out here? More importantly, how did her blade hold up against four blades that have bit-beasts inside of them?" Menny wondered.

"Well, we can ask her during dinner," Max said.

"I hope they hurry hope and finish cooking soon, I'm starving!" Tyson said.

"Let's play poker, maybe that'll get your mind off your hunger," Max suggested.

"Yeah! Dizzi, can you keep score for us?" Kenny asked.

So they started playing poker. Kai said nothing. He was just standing against the wall with his arms crossed. His teammates were too used to this to care. Kai thought, Kenny's right. How could her blade hold up against four that have bit-beasts inside? She is no ordinary blader. Where did she come from? Why was she even here? There is something strange about her.

~Meanwhile~

Ray and Zarine were having fun cooking.

"You're really good, Ray! You have to teach me!" Zarine said admiringly. She was considered the best at cooking in her hometown, and here she meets another guy a year older than her that was better than her.

"Sure thing, but I want to know how your blade held up against four that have bit-beasts inside them," Ray said.

"All right," she promised, "I'll tell you. Teach me your cooking secrets first though!"
