Chapter 2 – Practice Practice Practice

After the two had officially registered with the BBA, they commenced their training. They trained as had as ever because they knew exactly who they were going up against. Tyson, the world champion, along with other really strong bladers like Rei, Kai, and Max. Aoi and Akai knew what they were up against so they had to train and train really hard. (AN: just a note to u guys, Akai's as well as Aoi's blades are launched thru the mechanism of their katana. They basically slash it and from the handle part of the katana, the blade would run down the katana's blade and then to the battle field. Sry if it's confusing. ;;)

"LET IT RIP!!!" With an almost perfect launch, Akai sent his blade smashing at Aoi. Aoi was training her defense, so her blade stayed near the middle for the first couple seconds before Eclipse came at her with full force. Twilight was basically bashed around, but finally, she managed to wear out Akai and attacked.

"Dark Fyre!" a red-ish black flame started to glow around Aoi's blade and it was heading straight for Eclipse. At that moment, Akai knew that he had to attack with everything he had, or his blade would be completely obliterated.

"Ice Lancer" a bright blue-ish white light appeared around Eclipse and formed into an arrow like shape. The two blades came at each other and with a big clash and a really bright light that came from the two blades colliding, the winner would be revealed. In this round, Akai won.

.::Flashback::.

While Twilight and Eclipse were coming at each other, Eclipse skillfully managed to evade in a slight millisecond before they made contact and came back from the right of Twilight.

.::/Flashback::.

Aoi caught her blade as it came flying at her while Akai called back Eclipse.

"Great match, Akai."

"Thanks, you were great yourself." He said with a smile. After training was finished for the day, they decided to get something to eat and talked about their strategy as well.

"Well, as for people like Tyson, we know that we shouldn't go head to head but find another way to approach him. Otherwise, our blades could possibly be badly damaged if our power couldn't match him."

"Yeah like Kai. I wouldn't want to think about what would happen to Twilight if I came straight onto him." She said somewhat jokingly. Then, her watches alarm sounded. "Oh man, it's time for me to get home. I'll see you tomorrow!" and with that she got up and started walking home. Akai finished off his tea and walked to the near orphanage where he stayed temporarily.

On the way home, Aoi noticed some person training in the forest that was just a block or so away from home. She was curious, so she walked over and saw a boy training extremely hard. His blade was smashing at a large (AN: and I mean LARGE) boulder and it looked as if he barely used any force. In less than a couple of seconds, the boulder was a pile of dust. She was shocked. Was this person really that strong? She examined him closely, his hair was two shades, he had a white scarf, and he looked strong. Suddenly, he looked over. Oh man, did he see me? She thought. She got the answer to her question when he called out,

"Who ever it is, show yourself. Now!" he said harshly. She shouldn't have been watching him anyways. She slowly walked over to the blader. Just before she reached him, he caught his blade. "...who sent you?" he said, in an emotionless voice.

"No one. I just... I just heard someone blading here, so I came to see." She said still looking at the ground. There was a brief pause before he finally spoke up,

"You are a blader?" he said looking at her with his fierce eyes.

"Y-Yes..." she was obviously afraid of him as she started to stutter. Oh man, this is not good. NOT GOOD. She continuously cursed at herself in her thoughts for watching him blade. Now, she was in trouble.

"Then show me how you blade." He said in a monotone voice. She wasn't exactly sure what he would do to her blade if he was able to smash that boulder so easily. But she couldn't hold off on such a request. She wanted to see where she stood within the Beyblading community.

"O-Ok..." she said quietly. Is she scared of me? He thought heh... alright, lets see what you're made of.

"3, 2, 1... LET IT RIP" her launch was perfect! Practicing really paid off. But then again, so was his. He came at her with very strong bashes. She answered to him with attacks of her own. They were going head to head until he said,

"This is where it ends." He paused for a while and looked her in the eye. At that moment, he looked so scary. But she couldn't back off, so, she had to attack or defend. She chose to attack.

"Dranzer, Blazing Gig!" he yelled out. OMG Dranzer? She paused in thought, does that mean he is Kai? I'm facing Kai?!!?! I'm doom. She had no choice but to do something before Dranzer reached Twilight.

"Twilight, Dark Fyre!" Twilight ripped through the field and came at Dranzer, who was also tearing its way through. There was a bright flash of light when they finally saw that Twilight was barely spinning and Twilight stopped. They both dropped an instant later. She's a worthy opponent. Heh. He walked over to pick up Dranzer. You did good, buddy. On the other hand, she picked up Twilight. That was great!

She then walked over to the boy and offered to shake hands. He hesitated for a while before finally shaking hands with her. It was brief, but she could feel the immense power coming from him. He also felt something in her. Her passion and determination for blading. That of which is called... 'the Blader's spirit'.

"I'm Aoi. It's nice to meet you."

"Kai" Plain and simple, "Hiwatari Kai" Her eyes lit up as she continued talking to him,

"I knew it was you! When you called out Dranzer. Wow! You are an amazing blader! It's such an honour to meet you." She said smiling. He slightly smirked before he responded,

"Heh. You were a great opponent... And I'm not as great as you make it seem." He said, in his usual cold voice.

"Not to me. I think you're the best blader around!" he saw the energy in her. He knew that there was something about her that would put her in the position of possibly being someone that he would need to watch out for in competition...

haha... Kai finally shows up in this chapter huh? P But yeah... plz R&R... thnx... will they be seeing more of each other? of couse!
