~^ Chapter 27 – Fighting With Tiger's ^~

Today, was yet another match for the Bladebreakers, and if they won this one, then they would be going onto the semi-finals. But the team they would be going up against was a whole other story...

"So Kenny, who's the unlucky team that's gonna get whooped by us today?" Tyson asked while leaning over his seat on the bus to see Kenny.

"Well Tyson..." The short, brown-haired boy began, "To tell you the truth, we're going up against a team we've beaten before..."

"Ooh, I know, I know!!" Naomi jumped up and down in her seat, her hand raised in the air. "That kitty one!!"

"The White Tigers?" Kai raised an eyebrow to her.

Naomi pointed in Kai's direction, while still looking at Kenny and Tyson. "That's the one."

"Sweet!" Tyson and Max jumped and yelled in unison.

"I'm defiantly battling today! But I'll go last, is that alright with you guys?" Naomi grinned and looked over her teammates, who all nodded in response.

"And hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to the Canadian Tournament!!" Jazzman yelled into his microphone, as hundreds, and thousands of fans cheered. "Today, we have the world champs, the Bladebreakers, going up against the White Tigers! Now isn't that deja-vou or what!?"

"Not funny!" Naomi called out.

"Ahem... Anyway, lets get our first two bladers up here!" Jazzman bellowed before Tyson stood up and walked up to the dish, where Gary soon met him. (AN: I'm lazy...so I'm just gonna say who wins, and ya, I'm only gonna do the important battles, so um...ya!)

The battle dragged on, until Tyson finally knocked Gary's blade out of the dish, since he had distracted him by saying cake.

Since Max had won against Rei in a rock, paper, siccors match, he went up next. And his opponent was Mariah, who won.

"Uh-oh..." Naomi mumbled under her breath. She slowly stood up and walked over to the dish, where Lee awaited her.

"So you're the new Bladebreaker..." Lee smirked as he set his blade into his launcher.

Naomi did the same with her own blade and launcher, and grinned, "Yep, sure am...and I just noticed something..." While Naomi was talking A.J. Topper, and Brad Best were discussing both her and Lee's stats.

"And what's that?" Lee asked while getting into his ready stance.

"I just noticed that you really look like a kitty... did you know that?" Naomi yelled before launching her blade after Jazzman had shouted 'Let it Rip!' into his microphone.

"Alright then, how about we ignore that and get back to the battle? All right? Alright." Naomi grinned once again, before turning her attention back to the battle.

Both blades were ripping into each other, sending sparks flying in every direction in the classic blue dish. Naomi however, didn't take notice of them, and kept her eyes glued to the two blades.

"I have to admit, you're pretty good Lee." Naomi smiled, never taking her eyes away from the battle.

"Likewise with you." Lee responded.

"But..." A small snicker crept its way across Naomi's lips. "Time to lose...Tatsuta! Spark Plug now!" Tatsuta then burst out of hr bit-chip, and immediately wrapped her tail around Lee's blade, electrifying it, and rendering it to defeat.

Naomi held out her un-bandaged hand, and allowed her blade to jumped into it... that is before she was tackled from behind by two unknown forces...which were soon discovered to be Tyson and Max.

"Tyson, Max, I'm going to give you to the count of three...3...2...1..." Naomi growled when Max and Tyson helped her off of the ground.

"Sorry, but I haven't really introduced myself properly yet..." Naomi smiled sweetly and held out her hand. All of those formal dinners that she had to were taking over her brain.

'Damn them.' She thought bitterly. "I'm Naomi Mitasha..." The first to take Naomi's hand was Mariah, who grinned widely at the Canadian.

"I'm Mariah, it's nice to finally see a girl beat Lee." She snickered slightly.

"Heh, well, I'm glad that you think that. Hey I have an idea...the guys and I were going to go wander around, do you guys wanna come too?" Naomi looked over the five White Tigers (AN: That Bruce dude is their fifth member just to tell ya...), and raising a slender eyebrow in their direction.

"And yes food will be involved." Tatsuta grinned wickedly as she appeared in the all to familiar puff of silver smoke on Naomi's shoulder.

"Tatsuta get back here!!" Naomi bellowed across the large field at the park they found. The park was regularly used for people who had dogs, so the field was rather large. And at the moment, Tatsuta was enjoying herself chasing an over joyous golden lab.

"No this is funny!" Tyson whined.

Naomi sighed, bent down, and picked up a handful of snow, and began forming it into a sphere. She then took aim, and launched it in Tyson's direction. And of course, it smacked him directly in the back of his head. "Quiet you." She smirked and ran off to get Tatsuta.

"Does she always act like that?" Mariah asked as she watched Naomi chase Tatsuta around in a circle.

"Sometimes, but today I think she had a muffin for breakfast, something like that." Rei shrugged.

"You little shit!" Naomi yelled. She was now seated on the ground, in a rather large pile of snow.

"I didn't do it!" Tatsuta whimpered as she landed on Kai's shoulder.

Kai rolled his eyes at the childish bit-beast. "I watched you trip her."

"You can't prove that." Tatsuta stuck her forked tongue out at Kai.

Kai sighed and flicked Tatsuta off of his shoulder. The silver dragon quickly disappeared in her puff of silver smoke once she was flying off of Kai's shoulder.

"Oh and she listens to you? That's a huge pile of hoarse shit." Naomi muttered as she walked up to Kai and the others, while wiping extra snow from her jeans.

"Can we go eat now?" Tyson, who had been patiently waiting for that past half hour, asked while rubbing his empty stomach.

"Alright. Let's go." Naomi sweetly smiled and began walking back to the hotel, with the others close behind.

The only thing that the guys could really agree on to eat was pizza, so that's what they ordered. While the guys, plus the White Tigers, were eating their pizza in the living room, Naomi was lying on a couch that was conveniently placed in her own room reading a book, since she didn't want to watch Tyson eat (would you?).

"You are a very boring person did you know that?" Tatsuta poked her mistress's cheek with a clawed finger.

"Tatsuta I'm simply reading a book, how is that boring?" Naomi blankly answered, never taking her eyes from the text in her book. But she soon was tapped on the shoulder, interrupting her peaceful reading.

"Hello Kai, do you think Naomi's boring, we're having a small debate." Tatsuta flew up and landed on Kai's shoulder.

"Why would you say she's boring?" Kai questioned.

Tatsuta rolled her eyes and slumped down so she was lying across Kai's broad shoulder. "Because, while everyone else is having fun in the living room, she's just sitting here reading a book."

"Then if you find her so boring then why don't you go join the others in the living room then?" Kai smirked triumphantly as Tatsuta snorted and flew out of the room.

Naomi folded a page in her book and glared at Kai. "Why does she always listen to you?"

"I have no idea." Kai shrugged. But he changed the subject soon after. "How's your hand?"

"Oh..." Naomi lifted her hand and stared at it for a few seconds before smiling. "Much better, and thank you for asking." But she then looked to the floor as a slight red tinge crept across her cheeks. "But I still need to ask you something."

Naomi then lifted her head and looked over to the open door. Kai took this as a signal and gently closed it with his foot, before turning back to Naomi, "I have something to ask you too."

"Alright." Naomi uneasily answered as she allowed Kai to sit by her head, so she was now looking up at him. They stayed like that for quite awhile, until Naomi couldn't take the silence any longer.

"Kai?" She began, and decided to continue once Kai gave her a loud 'hm'. " What do you think of me? I mean as a friend, or, as...more."

"Uh..." Kai hesitated.

'Either she's really good at guessing about things or, she found out...but how?' He thought.

After more silence, Kai finally answered. "More..." He mumbled.

Naomi smirked; she was going to have fun with this. "Exactly how much more Kai?"

Kai was silent once again. He knew Naomi was toying with him. "More as in love." He finally answered, and quite uneasily I might add. Naomi eyes softened and a smile crept across her lips. She shifted her body so she was now lying on Kai's lap. The blunette took Naomi's move as an answer. He then aimlessly moved his fingers through her silk like brown hair, causing a small scarlet tinge to plant itself on her cheeks.

"You damn lizard with wings!" The two teens heard someone roar from the living room, followed by a large bang against Naomi's room door, which caused her to fall to the ground from the shock of the sudden noise. She grumbled and stood up on her knees, while rubbing the back of her head.

"Better check that out, don't want my bit-beast in bad condition, and if that was Tyson who caused that, then I have an excuse to throw something at him!" Naomi grinned and straightened herself before opening her bedroom door and picking up her stunned dragon friend.
