Chapter 3:
Disclaimer: I might have to hit someone because I am really getting sick of this... (*deep breath*) (*exhale sharply*) I... don't... own... "WHOA!!!" (*Tyson crashes into the room, apparently running from Kai, crashing into DME*)
DME: TY... SON!!
Tyson: Can't talk, Kai coming!! (*catches DME's look*)
(*Kai runs in with an evil smirk*) (*advances on Tyson*)
Tyson: Um, Kai, I don't think that's a very good idea...
Kai: (*still has an evil smirk*) Why not?
Tyson: (*whisper*) DME not happy...
Kai: SO?
DME: (*glare*) (*growl*)
(*Tyson backs away, out of sight*)
DME: WHAT was that, Kai?
Kai: Whatever.
DME: THAT'S IT! (*snaps fingers*)
Kai: WHAT THE- (*DME quickly slaps hand over Kai's mouth*)
DME: We're trying to keep it censored, Kai!
Kai: Where the- (*catches DME's look*) uh, where did you get these clothes?
(*camera zooms in on Kai*) (*Kai is wearing extremely tight black jeans, an extremely large, fluorescent green t-shirt, with raven-black FLAT hair, and red high heel shoes*)
Kai: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY HAIR?? AND WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE SHOES DOING HERE???
DME: (*advances with fist raised*) THAT IS IT!! YOU CAN'T KEEP A CLEAN MOUTH, YOU SHOW NO RESPECT FOR THE AUTHOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU... INTERRUPTED MY DISCLAIMER!!
Kai: Um, sorry?
DME: (*sudden evil look*) Sorry doesn't cut it. Looks like I'll have to punish you.
(*Tyson comes out from the other room*)
Tyson: Ooh, I have a good idea! (*whispers something in DME's ear*)
DME: (*grin*) You know, Kai, you're one of my favourite characters. (*Kai sighs in relief*) I wasn't done! (*Kai has a nervous glance on his face*) But, it's unfair for me not to punish you the same way as the characters I hate, so...
Kai: Wait!
DME: Sorry, Kai. (*snaps fingers*)
(*Kai appears frozen in a ballet position in a pink tutu and ballet suit*)
DME: He needed a new look, anyway. Now I'll never get my disclaimer done...
Tyson: I'll do it for you, DME.
DME: Wow, really, Tyson?
Tyson: Consider it a thanks for rescuing me from Kai. (*clears throat*) DME DOES NOT OWN BEYBLADE, NEVER DID AND NEVER WILL!! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEADS, PEOPLE!!... Or any songs used in this or any other chapter...

(Still) Kai's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had just come home from school. I had been thinking about that weird dream all day, and I was still thinking about it. My head kind of hurt. I guessed it was straining my brain to think about something that I had no clue about. I went into the washroom and looked in the mirror for a bruise or something, but didn't see one. I paused, and gazed at my reflection. It was true that I was sort of like a younger version of Kai, same eyes, same hair.
Someone had once told me that if I was ever really stuck on something, that I should take a break. To clear my head, and not think about it at all. So I listened to some music. I decided on one of my favourites, Linkin Park's "In The End". (*A/N one of my favourites, you mean... And besides, I've read a lot of stories that insist that Kai likes Linkin Park, so his descendant should too...) I went along with the lyrics:
It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I hit the pause button. I realised that this song was sort of singing my problems. Well, a little, anyway. Maybe this could help me find an answer or something. I hit the play button.
I kept everything inside
and even though I tried,
it all fell apart
What it meant to me
will eventually be a memory
of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
My thoughts drowned out the rest of the song. Was it... showing my future? Would I try hard and fail horribly? I normally don't over-think things like this, but this was different. This was completely different. I don't remember the last time I had a perfectly normal day... or night, for that matter. Life was so weird, so difficult. When you think you're unhappy, things usually just get worse. Just when you think there's nothing more you could wish for, everything goes downhill.
Maybe I should try some other song... Hmm... How about Simple Plan's "I'm Just A Kid?"
I'm just a kid
My life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone in the world-
I hit the stop button. This really was not helping. I didn't exactly need someone screaming about their problems. I sighed, and got up. I grabbed Dranzer, my launcher and ripcord, and headed outside.
~~~~~~~~~
I told you I'm stuck. I could use some ideas here, people. 3... 2... 1... let it rip... Aw, damn! Cheap launcher... Gee, thanks a lot for that half-broken launcher and beyblade birthday present! Great, where did I put the super glue...? How 'bout next time you get me a new beyblade, launcher, and a ripcord that isn't bent??? Especially considering how much money I spent on your birthday present!! Oh, yeah, the other readers. Like I have any, but... If there are any people who read this story, please review and give me some ideas....
