Hey there people...and yes once again it has taken me quite a while to update. And don't you worry! Since school's gonna be out in less than two weeks! YIPPY! Man I can't wait. I shall try to update more often. Oh, and to answer a reviewers question about pairings...wait and see and the answer will come to ya...trust me! Now...since I had a little too much to drink tonight (not telling you exactly what however!) on with the story!

Chapter 4 – Meeting the Raven

"Tyson! Max! Don't touch that!" Alani lunged across the room and landed in front of the two boys, blocking them from touching her precious. In case you're wondering what her 'precious' is well...

"Aw come on! I want to see it!" Tyson and Max whined in unison. Alani simply glared at the two, and pushed them away from the golden over-sized warrior's axe hanging on the wall.

"You've seen it haven't you?" She smirked triumphantly. "And I'm not going to let you even touch it, let alone hold it. That axe is very valuable. So no touchy!"

"Please?" Tyson tried one last and final time.

"NO!" Alani roared and chased them back outside. Once everyone was back in the great outdoors, she swung around and forcefully slid the back door shut with a slight 'click'. But of course, just as luck would have it, the phone, which was inside the house, began ringing.

"Damn it!" Alani cursed as she flung the door open and stomped inside. Max and Tyson exchanged glances before darting towards the wide open door, but of course, were stopped dead in their tracks. By who you ask? Why Zeindolf of course! (Man that was corny.)

The ruby wolf towered over the two teens and showed his fangs in a smile, "Not today boys." He laughed slightly. Then, out of the blue, they heard a load angry yell come from somewhere within the house the wolf was guarding, and then a rather large bang. That is before Alani came storming out. She was mumbling under her breath. And since this story is pg-13, I can't really express what she was saying...Oh, let me put it this way...beep, beep, that little, beep! That stupid beep, coming and beeping up, my beeping life! There? That make it easier? Any way!

Alani was now walking right past the five boys. Her pace was quick, and her breathing was hard. Obviously, she was angry. Not just angry, but pretty damn pissed.

"Alani what's the matter?" Rei and the others ran to catch up with the fuming Hawaiian.

Alani took a deep breath and calmed down slightly, "I'm going to set that Perry girl strait..."

"Ooh! Fight, fight, fight!" Tyson began chorusing.

Alani rolled her double colored eyes, "Tyson, I highly doubt that there's going to be a fight between me and that stupid brat. She can't even blade let alone punch. Well, from what I assume at least..."

Through the little time that Perry had called Alani, and sat outside her Hotel, she had somehow, someway, gotten into a fight with someone. To make it easier, she had pissed off yet another one of the locals.

"What the hell's your problem?" Perry's eyes flashed with anger as she glared at the blonde before her. "Well are you going to answer me or what?"

The girl slowly opened her hazel green orbs and raised an eyebrow, "Why would I want to?"

"Because!" Perry fumed, "I want you to! And what I say goes!"

"And what gives you such an authority?" The girl lent further against the tree and closed her eyes again. She then heard some yelling from near by, opened her eyes, and turned to the source.

"Perry!" Alani bellowed as she stomped toward the obnoxious tourist. "You deserve a good ass whooping did you know that?"

The mysterious female smirked and turned her gaze back to Perry, "I see everyone here has the same opinion as I do when it comes to you."

"That's it!" Perry grabbed the girl by the collar and slammed her against the tree, repeating what Alani had done to her previously that day. She pulled her fist back and was about to smash it into the girl's teeth, but Alani had run up and thrown her backwards.

"I didn't need your help." The girl glared at Alani.

"Well I'm not helping...I simply have a score to settle." The red-head answered back before walking over to Perry, "And you!"

"What?" Perry put on a fake sweet smile. "Angry that I was telling the truth about your folks?"

Alani's eyes weren't moving, they were locked on the horrible girl in front of her. She did everything to force herself not to pummel her there and then. Oh boy did she want to do that. "Just leave me alone and I won't make you regret ever coming here." She hissed. Her blue and green eyes then wandered back over to the other female, and looked the girl over. Blonde hair, that turned black at the bottom, a white halter top, shoulder green shoulder shirt which showed her well built mid-drift, and white sweat pant material kapris. Alani could've sworn she'd seen this girl before. But where?

As Alani snapped out of her thoughts, and began turning toward her first priority, she felt something hard smack against her cheek. She ignored the pain and turned toward Perry, who had her fists at the ready.

"Hm..." Alani cradled her throbbing cheek in her hand, "Nice right hook. I'll give you that much."

"Huh?" Perry's fists dropped as she stared at Alani with confused eyes. "But...I just punched you."

"Damn straight you just punched her!" Tyson growled as he stomped over to the girl, "And what the hell did you do it for?"

Alani walked over to navy haired blader and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Tyson, I think I can handle this."

"But that looked like it really hurt!" Tyson protested.

"Well, it didn't." Alani grinned and pushed the boy aside. "Now Perry. I'm not one to fight pointless fights. And you are certainly a pointless person to fight with."

"So true." Mumbled the still nameless girl.

Perry glared once again at the blonde before quickly turning back to Alani, "Fine! If you won't fight, then I will!" She then pulled back her fist, and sent it towards Alani's gut.

'Just let her think she's all tough.' Alani told herself. She then allowed Perry's fist to collide with her stomach. But the Hawaiian however didn't even flinch. She had taught herself how to both hold back any amount of pain and not show it, and keep still no matter what hit her. In reality however, that blow hurt, and she was defiantly going to have a bruise from it later.

"Are you done?" Alani rolled her eyes at Perry's surprised expression, "Because I am, come on." She gestured for the other girl to follow her and the five boys.

"My name's Raven Blackwood. Nice to meet you..." The blonde paused, as she couldn't remember the Hawaiian's name.

"Alani Lahela, nice to meet you too." Alani smiled. She knew she recognized that girls name but from where? And now was the best time to find out, since the guys had left a while ago, and it was just she and the blonde sitting in her room, with Twiddy and Zeindolf curled up beside her bed.

Raven's eyes wandered around the dark green room, until they rested on a few pictures on her new friend's bedside table.

Alani noticed the girl staring at the photos and smiled, "That's my cousin." She picked up one of the picture frames and handed it to Raven, allowing her to have a closer look.

'Johnny?!' Raven's eyes widened as she gaped at the red head in the picture.

"You know him?" Alani questioned.

"Yeah..." Raven trailed off. "We're pretty good friends."

"I think he told me about you come to think of it." Alani tapped her finger on the tip of her chin in thought. "Yeah he did! Didn't he help you out of a bit of a pickle with one of those Dark Bladers?"

Raven nodded slowly in response, "He did."

"And is that how you got that scar there?" The over curious redhead pointed to the scar adorning her left eye. Raven bowed her head for an answer.

Alani smiled and grasped the blonde by the shoulders, causing her to look at her, "I know something that'll cheer you up!"

"Huh?" Raven's confused expression caused Alani to grin even more.

"Movies and Candy!"

Personality/Extra Info: Raven hates everything about beyblading, until now. Because of her past, she's very cold (somewhat like Kai).

Ahem...) saved her from the attacker. After the incident, she still acts all cold and ruthless, but can be nice from time to time.

Now, Raven Blackwood does not belong to me, but my good pal Melina Kon. So yeah, I don't own the new comer!

Anywho... Please review, please? Come on people I don't wanna beg here. Not like I would anyway! But meh. Please review despite my rambling...
