I'm so bored. I have no god damn sugar in my house. None what so ever!! How can this be! Even though I am in a little bit of a crisis right now, I shall continue on!

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade, only my oc's.

~^ Chapter 2 - Old Friends ^~

"Man! That new girl is like a female version of Kai!" Tyson growled once he and Kenny had found Rei and Max in the park, after school of course.

"Who now?" Max asked once Tyson was done ranting about Ruby's behavior.

"This new girl, her name is Ruby, I can't really remember her last name though." Kenny tapped his chin with his finger in thought.

"Maybe she blades? Then I can show that cocky brat who's who." Tyson grinned.

"Well you can ask her now, since there she is." Kenny pointed over to a nearby tree, where at it's trunk, Ruby was sitting, her eyes closed, and something glinting in her hands. Once Tyson had noticed the girl her ran over to her, causing her to quickly opened her eyes and glare up at him.

"What the hell do you want?" She growled. Tyson backed away slightly, scared of her, but he quickly noticed what was in her hands, a black and silver beyblade.

"Sweet." He muttered. "I'm guessing you blade then?"

"No, I'm just sitting here, with a beyblade in my hand because I like shiny things." Ruby said with a straight face.

"Ok then." Tyson sighed, of course, he believed Ruby.

"Holy shit, you're dumber then I thought. Of course I blade." Ruby paused for a second. "And I aint going to battle you. But..." She looked over Kenny, Max, and when her eyes landed on Rei, she couldn't help but smile.

"Ruby?" Rei's eyes widened. Once he had seen Ruby's red-yellow eyes, he remembered many things.

"In the flesh Rei." Ruby's smiled turned into a snicker.

"But I thought,..."Rei muttered.

"Don't tell me you believed my father?" Ruby snorted. "Because his story was a pile of hoarse shit."

'What have I told you about swearing?' Azura scolded her mistress.

' Not to do it, but did you really think I would listen?' Ruby answered back.

"Anyway. I'm off, good bye Rei." She began walking off.

"Wait." Rei called out to her. "What did actually happen to you, when you just disappeared seven years ago?"

"I'm not going to tell you exactly what Rei, but all I will tell you, is that it changed my life, for the worse, but in some cases, the better." And with Ruby's explanation, she left the four boys, three of whom, staring at Rei, their eyes full of curiosity.

'Question time.' Rei thought to himself. "Ruby lived in the same village as me and the White Tigers."

"But you said something about her disappearing?" Max cocked his head, remembering what Rei had said.

"She did. One night, she just, well, disappeared. Her father told us that she had been sent of to some private school, something like that. But from what Ruby just said, I guess he lied." Rei explained.

"Ok then. Hey! Maybe since she knows Rei, she'll be nicer to me!" Tyson concluded after a long silence.

"I doubt it Tyson, she seems to not like you, not one bit." Max shook his head, grinning while he did so.

~^ Ruby's house ^~

"You know you really should be nicer to people." Azura scolded Ruby.

"I can't help it, it's just the way I am...well, not really." Ruby sighed and lay down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling of her pitch-black room.

"You should get some sleep. We can discuss everything you want to tomorrow, now go to sleep." Azura nudged Ruby with her cheek, and then pulled her blankets over her.

"And you're supposed to be the panther of darkness." Ruby snickered slightly. "Anyway, good night Azura, you should get some sleep too, after all, I'm going to let you have some fun tomorrow, and battle someone!" She stroked the panther's soft fur, and smiled slightly. That was the one thing Ruby loved most about Azura; even though she was, supposedly, the panther of darkness, she was gentle and caring, almost like a mother, which Ruby did not have.

"Good night Azura." Ruby muttered before drifting off into a peaceful slumber.

~^ The next day ^~

After a very long discussion with Azura that morning, Ruby had decided to just be a little nicer to Tyson and the others, just a little. That panther could convince her into anything, well almost anything.

"Tyson..." She said once she had sat down next to the boy after she had put everything she didn't need in her locker, and arrived at her classroom.

"What do you want?" Tyson grumbled, he obviously didn't enjoy Ruby's company, since she was just like Kai, almost.

Ruby let out a long sigh. "Sorry for yesterday, I was just pissed with moving and all, and, I except your challenge."
