SD: Second chapter is up!

Tyson: *in bored tone* Three cheers for Sacred Dog...

SD: *pretends to be offended* Hmph! Well, if you don't appreciate my hard work...

Tyson: Hard work? It took you less than half an hour to type it up!

SD: Then why are you complaining? Geesh, it's not like you even care.

Tyson: Yah? I do so care! I mean, my name isn't even mentioned in here!

SD: Not this chapter, no. But in other chapters you will. Like when you get the Bladebreakers in a bit of a mess...

Tyson: Why is it always me???!

Rei: SD does not own Beyblade.

SD: Oh stop your whining so the readers can read the chapter! And thank you Rei.

Kai took a seat at the back of the science lab, just as the teacher came in.

"Class," he said in a stern voice. "I am Mr Richards. I will be your Science teacher for the year."

He sat down at his desk at the front of the room and began calling the roll.

"Darn it – not him again!" a girl's voice muttered.

Kai turned his head slightly to his right. At the desk beside him sat a girl who looked about a year or two younger than him. She sounded disappointed, yet she was grinning mischievously.

"Ah well. Only two chalk pieces in here this time."

Kai raised an eyebrow. The girl had shoulder-length crimson-ish red hair and crimson eyes. She wore a black short-sleeved jacket over a black tank top, baggy black pants, black and red shoes, and black gloves.

"Hiwatari, Kai," Mr Richards called.

"Here," Kai muttered.

"Hiwara, Kyla."

No response.

"Miss Hiwara..." Mr Richards looked up and glared at the girl beside Kai, then marked her off.

When the roll was done, Mr Richards stood up and turned around to write something on the board.

Mariam, who sat in front of the girl – Kyla – turned around to give her a look that seemed to say 'are you really going to do it again?'

Kyla nodded. "It's even better this time 'cos –" Suddenly, a piece of chalk was aimed at her head. She didn't complain, though, when it hit her. "Because there's only –" Again, a piece of chalk hit her square on the head. "'Cos there's only two pieces of chal– Ow!"

Kyla went toppling backwards on her chair – which she had been leaning back on two legs – and onto the floor.

"Didn't see that coming, did ya?" Mariah snickered from across the class.

"Kyla – you alright?" Mariam asked, shocked.

"Yah..." Kyla sat up, rubbing her head. "How could I have forgot – the duster!"

Mr Richards turned around to face the class. "Did I forget to mention that I'm an ex-soldier from the army, have perfect aim, and do not like students talking in class! But of course, Miss Hiwara knew this from last year..." The 'ex-soldier' strode up to Kyla and jerked her up. "I'll be right back," he said to the class, then hissed to Kyla, "And you, Miss, will be seeing the headmaster."

Kai stared at Kyla, some-what amused.

"Gee, sis, and I thought your friend, being as clever as she is, would have realised," Joseph mused.

The class started to talk among themselves.

"What's with her?" Kai asked Mariam, although not really caring, just curious.

"Kyla knows the limits and how to stretch them."

SD: Wow – that is one of the shortest chapters I've ever written! I think...

Kai: You? Think?

SD: Yes, I think! :P

Kai: Whatever. I think it was lousy.

SD: O.o LOUSY?!!?!! You say it's LOUSY?!?!

Kai: *closes eyes*

SD: Grr! So that's all the thanks I get after I start a fic about you?! Well, you and Kyla... *eyes narrow* Hn. Darn, you're right. But what kind of word is lousy?! Well, anyway, please review!
