Zoutou: God damn computer. I was typing up this chapter and I was nearly finished. When my brother decided to get on while I was doing dishes. And when he got on. The computer froze! And I didn't get to save it. So now, here I am. Typing up the chapter again. Well actually. I asked Kir to do it. Because I've been moody and have felt like shit. So Kir. Can you please continue? I'm going to bed again. Oh oh oh. And. I'm so sorry for the delay on getting this chapter typed up and uploaded.

Chapter Three: Expect the Unexpected.

The four walk down into the by the lounge area. There is a whole room, made for beyblade training. It is 'huge.' There's a beystadium, cans, blocks of wood. And for the bladers themselves, they had treadmills, punching bags, and bike (thingers.)

"Oh, wow. It's so big," Max says spinning around getting a good look of the room. "And look. The people from the front desk and lounge can watch people train," he says pointing to the glass wall and door that they had just come through. Max looks around again. "Looks like some other bladers are staying here too."

Takao lifts his head up at the words 'other bladers.' He looks around the room and sees a group of kids gathered around a beystadium. He jumps up and runs over to them. "Hey! Can I cut in!?" He says as the battle happening finishes.

"Sure!" One of the littler bladers yells out.

"Awesome!" Takao says happily. For him, it was good to blade someone other than people he already knew. He readies Dragoon onto his launcher. "Alright! 3.2.1. Let it, RIP!" Takao comes off with a strong launch, and the younger blader nearly as strong.

"Come on, Dragoon!" Takao yells out.

"Go!" The younger blader yells out jumping. The two blades collide into each other. Dragoon sends the other blade to the side of the stadium, but the blade comes back and knocks into Dragoon, throwing him temporarily off balance.

"Not half bad," Takao sneers. "Dragoon!" Dragoon spins faster and smashes into the other blade and grinds into it like a blade sharpener. The other blade goes off balance and flips over, falling out of the stadium.

"Oh!" The little blader cries out and grabs his blade. He smiles some and goes over to Takao and holds out his hand. "Good match," he says with a smile.

"You too, dude," Takao says with a grin and shakes the younger blader's hand. "You'll be a great blader when you get older," Takao comments with re-assurance.

"Ahe." The blader nods. "A-huh. Thanks." He smiles brightly and runs back over to his friends.

Takao goes back over to Rei, Kai, and Max smiling and laughing, his hands behind his head.

"Looks like you had fun," Max says with a grin.

"Max. Wanna battle?" Rei challenges. Max nods.

"Heh heh. Sure!" They both run over to an open beystadium. Takao and Kai follow behind. The two ready their blades.

"Alright then! 3.2.1. Let it, RIP!" Rei and Max yell out and rips their blades off strong. Draciel lands in the middle, Driger circling around him. Driger swoops down and collides into Draciel. The two push against each other, then Draciel moves to the side. Driger goes straight to the side of the stadium.

"Come on, Driger! Don't hold back!" Rei yells out.

"You can take him, Draciel!" Max shouts out with confidence. Driger comes back down to the middle of the stadium and continually slams into Draciel. Draciel rams back into Driger then moves away.

"Urg. DRIGER!" Rei shouts. Driger's bit beast starts to glow green and he appears out of the blade. "Come on, Vulcan Claw!" Driger spins faster and tilts to one side, heading straight for Draciel. Green winds surround the blade and Driger.

"No. DRACIEL!" Max yells. Draciel starts to glow purple. "Viper Wall, Draciel!" Draciel appears out of the green blade. A purple wall appears around Draciel. Driger rams into Draciel, but the wall defends Draciel.

"Rg.. Again, Driger!" Driger rams into Draciel again and breaks the defense wall. He circles around Draciel and rams into him from behind, knocking Draciel off balance.

"No!" Max yells out. Draciel regains balance and sits idley in the middle of the stadium. Driger swoops down and collides into Draciel. The two grind against eachother, pushing one another back and forth. Draciel falls off balance again and flies out of the stadium, returning to his blade. Driger roars out and returns to his blade, then to Rei's hand. Max picks up Draciel.

"Good job, Draciel." He says with a smiles. "You did great." Rei goes over to him.

"Great battle," Rei comments and extends his hand out.

"You two," Max grabs his hand. They hold their arms like an arm wrestle and squeeze tightly then let go.

"Come on, Kai! Let's battle," Takao challenges.

"Alright," Kai replies. They go up to the stadium and ready their blades.

"3.2.1. Let it, RIP!" Kai comes off with a strong launch, but Takao a bit weak. (A/N: Dragoon must be a bit tired) The two blades circle around each other then ram into one another. They grind like metal on concrete, sparks flying around. Dranzer moves away and circles quickly around Dragoon then collides into him from behind.

"Come on, Dranzer!"

"Dragoon!" Dragoon falls back a bit, but comes back and smashes into Dranzer. Dranzer falls off balance, but quickly recovers.

"DRANZER!" Dranzer's bit beast starts to glow red. He appears out of the blade. "Go, Dranzer. Volcano Emission!" Dranzer starts to spin quickly and circles around Dragoon.

"DRAGOON!" Takao yells out. Dragoon's blade starts to glow blue."Come on, Dragoon! Hyper Victory Tornado!" Takao yells out with confidence. Dragoon appears out of the blade. His blade starts to spin fast. The two blades ram into each other at the same time, sending each other out of the stadium.

"Woah. Tie!" Max shouts.

Takao and Kai pick up their blades. "Guess we're equally matched. Huh, Kai?" Takao says as her goes over to Kai and holds out his hand.

"Guess so," Kai says with a sneer and shakes Takao's hand. "You've been practicing."

"Heh heh heh. Eyep!" Takao says smiling, a hand behind his head.

Max begins setting up cans. "Let's try evasive maneuvers next." He puts the cans just inches away frm each other, but big enough for each blade to go through them. "I wanna go first." The blonde stands up and stands a foot away from the cans. "3.2.1. Let it, RIP!" Draciel flies off the launcher and onto the ground. He goes straight for the first can then quickly moves to the right and around the second can. Draciel spins around the next can, but nicks (A/N: sp? o.O) the side of the next can, tipping it over. "Good try Draciel!" Draciel spins back to Max and returns to his hand.

"My turn." Takao steps up and readies Dragoon on the launcher. "Let's go, Dragoon! Let it, RIP!" Dragoon heads straight for the first can, almost hitting it but dodges to the right of it andthen to the left of the next can. He zig-zags through the rest of the cans and spins around the last one then returns to Takao's hand. "Yea-hea! Great job Dragoon!"

"Alright. I'm up." Kai stands where Takao was. He puts Dranzer on his launcher. "Alright, Dranzer. Let it, RIP!" Dranzer zooms off the launcher towards the first can. She jumps over the first can and spins around the second. (A/N: Yes. I am making Dranzer a girl in this. So, SUE ME IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. -coughs- Ahem. Sorry about that. Please don't sue.) She zig-zags through a couple and jumps over another, then dodges the next going to the right. She finishes, without touching any cans and return's to Kai's hands.

"Guess I'm next." Rei takes Kai's place and readies Driger. "Come on, Driger. Let it, RIP!" Driger comes straight off the launcher, heading towards the first can. He dodges to one side, heading towards the one next to it. He swiftly jumps over it and circles around the next. He dodges left and right around the next couple of cans, then returns to Rei's hands. "Alright, Driger! Great job."

-----???'s POV-----

I look up from the magazine I'm reading, sitting on a couch in the lounge. There's a huge line at the sign-up desk, so I decided to read a magazine until the line shortened. I looked over to my right, seeing bladers training in the room. I thought to myself 'I should go in there later.' I suddenly pause and stand up, going over to the glass wall. My eyes fall on the group of bladers, training using cans. I run into the room and immediantly latch on to the raven-haired blader and stick my head next to his.

"Rei! I'm so happy to see you!" I bounced.

-----Rei's POV-----

I fall over some as I'm suddenly clung to. I look at the girl's face, hair, clothes. 'Oh no,' I think to myself. 'Not now, not her!'

"Hello, Mao," I reply to her. She nuzzles her head into my neck. I roll my eyes and sigh.

"What are you doing here, Mao?" Max asks her, approaching us.

"I'm taking a vacation away from the White Tigers for a while. We all decided to spend some alone time, so I decided to come here," she puts a finger to her chin. "I think Lee stayed in China. Kiki went to Europe for one reason or another. (A/N: Kiki is Kevin) And Gary. I'm not exactly sure where Gary went." She clings on to me, her arms around my waist. She squeezes me hard. 'Ugh! She's still so obsessive.'

I feel eyes on me, glaring. I turn my head to Kai. He turns his head away. I catch a glimpse of his crimson orbs. My mouth forms a small circle. 'What is that I'm seeing in his eyes? Jealousy?' It was. I saw jealousy in his eyes. I couldn't stand it. I pushed Mao off me, but she immediantly clung to me again. Kai turned and walked out of the room.

-----Kai's POV-----

'WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!?' I scream in my head.

Kai! Don't scream. Ow. That hurts so much. Dranzer sqwaks loudly.

'She can't just take him like that!' I yell.

Calm down, Kai. What do you mean Kai?

'What. N-nothing. It's nothing'

Dranzer rolls her eyes at me mentally. Oh, Kai. It seems you have fallen for the kitten and you are jealous of his stalker.

'No! That's not it! That's not it at all!' I retort

Don't lie to me Kai! I know it. You can't stand the thought of Rei being with someone else. Kai. You just have to tell him. Tell him how you feel.

'It's not all that easy Dranzer. It's not.' I sigh loudly.

Take your time, Kai. Just think of the perfect moment. And tell him.

'But. What if.' I get cut off.

Don't say that. I'm sure he'll return it. Don't worry. Dranzer sqwaks softly. I'm going to take a nap now.

'Alright. And Dranzer. No Driger fantasies. Please? I'm still trying to recover from last week.'

Dranzer blushes mentally. Silence takes place.

I sigh loudly and up to the hotel room and sit out on the balcony. The cold winter breeze makes me shiver. I stare out onto the city, then close my eyes to think.

-----Normal POV-----

Mao still clings on to Rei. He just sighs loudly and deals with it. 'I hope Kai's alright.' He thinks to himself.

"Is something wrong, Rei?" Mao asks Rei curiously. He blinks and looks at her.

"No, no. Nothings wrong. I'm going to go outside." Rei replies.

"I'll go with you!" Mao shouts. Rei sighs loudly and rolls his eyes. Mao doesn't even notice. She just sticks on her jacket she left in the lounge and wraps her arms around Rei as they walk out of the hotel into town. Rei looks up to the room they are staying in on the seventh floor from the outside.

'Kai,' he thinks to himself. He sighs again. He blinks and suddenly turns back to the room, seeing Kai on the balcony. 'Oh no.'

Kai opens his eyes and looks out onto the city again. He looks down and sees Rei and Mao, walking out of the hotel, Mao still clinging onto his kitten. 'Mine? Did I just say Rei was 'my' kitten?' He shakes his head. He glares down on the two.

Rei looks up at him. 'He definately sees us,' he notices the glare slightly. But he can't really tell. He slumps down and look to the ground sadly. Mao perks his head up.

"Something's wrong, Rei. I can tell." Mao says with concern. Rei moves from her grip and runs back to the hotel. "Rei? Rei! Wait!" Mao starts chasing after him yelling.



Kir: We're ending it here. Sorry. Oh, and if you're wondering. Two things in this chapter were supposed to be unexpected. Did you catch them? Try and guess in your reviews. One is completely obvious though, I hope. All will be revealed in the next chapter though!
