Chapter 7

"Rei, come here." Kai said making it sound almost like a command. Rei did what Kai said and went over to him.

"Don't let them get into your head. Got it." Kai said as he looked sternly into Rei's eyes as he held Rei's right shoulder with his left hand. The grip was only fairly tight.

"I know, I know." Rei said weakly and headed toward the middle where the dish was. Mariah did the same.

"Ready bladers, 3…2…1 Let it Rip." Brad announced.

Rei launched his blade and Mariah did the same. Driger sped toward Galux and the two blades crashed. Rei watched his blade swerve back and had Driger come around the corner pushing Galux. Galux tried to push back but Driger kept Galux's attack ring from coming down so it couldn't use it's Scratch Attack.

"Driger Tiger Claw Attack!" Rei shouted to his bitbeast.

Driger came out and ran at Galux's blade, then used his claws and slashed Galux making her go into the air. Then Driger leaped up and attacked Galux again, shooting it out of the arena.

"Rei wins this first match." Brad announced.

Rei looked in the direction of the other White Tiger and saw Lee glaring at him with his fangs out. He was starting to get nervous.

"Ready, 3…2…1 Let it Rip" Brad announced and both Rei and Mariah launched their blades again. Driger speed toward Galux and they clashed. As he did Rei took another glance at Lee and he felt his body freeze. Then Driger was pushed back by Galux.

"Driger…T-Tiger Claw Attack" Rei said and his voice was a little unsure. In that Driger was also unsure and first was going to but then didn't and crashed into Galux. Galux pushed Driger back then charged toward Driger.

"Galux Scratch Attack" Mariah shouted as Galux came out of it's blade and attacked Driger. Galux scratched Driger and sent it flying into the Chinese style building in the middle of the dish. A small cloud of dish covered where Driger crashed. He stopped spinning and his bitchip faced Rei.

"Driger…" Rei whispered to his blade.

"Mariah wins the second match." Brad shouted to the audience.

"Rei I wanted a good battle. Are you even going to try and attack?" Mariah asked actually wanted Rei to give it his all.

"Man what Rei doing?" Tyson asked as he started to panic.

"If he losses this match, were out of the tournament." Max said now really worried.

"Urg. He's letting his old relationship with the White Tiger's effect his blading. I knew it." Kai said angrily as his fists clenched. 'I see the damn looks that Lee is giving Rei. It's messing his game up.'

"No he wouldn't" Max said.

"Come on Rei, don't let them get to you." Tyson shouted to Rei.

Rei looked at his team. He already picked Driger up.

"Ready, 3…2…1 Let it Rip" Brad shouted.

Rei and Mariah launched their blades. They clashed together sending a cloud of smoke to cover the beydish. Both blades swerved backward and once they stopped, they speed forward and circled around the dish. They both kept smashing into each other but Driger's blade seemed unusual. Like it was weaker.

Kai had enough of this and got up. Then waited a moment before walking toward Rei.

"Rei." Kai said. Rei turned around.

"Kai."

"What do you think your doing?" Kai shouted at Rei bitterly. "Your letting her beat you. I told you before that it's better if you forget about them. You're in a battle right now and nothing should matter beside your team and your Driger."

"What are you getting at?" Rei asked hurt from Kai's tone.

"Battles should be fought with the head, and not with the heart." Kai said as he looked into Rei's eyes before turning back and sat down with his eyes closed. (I'm so sorry but I just love that quote that Kai says. It sounded so cool when he said it)

"And here we though he didn't care." Dizzi said.

"All Kai did was confuse Rei even more." Kenny said.

"Well I think that's all he needed cause take a look now."

Kenny looked forward and saw that Driger was attacking full force again.

"Sorry Mariah, I was holding back before. But I won't anymore." Rei said and had Driger keep on the attack and slammed Galux with full force. "Tiger Claw Attack Driger!"

Driger used his full speed and slashed Galux's blade, sending it into the air. Once Galux's blade landed on the dish it stopped spinning.

"The winner is Rei. The BeyBreakers are tied with the White Tigers." Brad said as the crowded cheered for the awesome battle that was played.

Rei looked over and Lee as Mariah walked back and saw him glare at him again. He was furious, Rei knew that when he left it hurt every especially Lee. The white tiger's power was suppose to be passed down to him because it was his grandfather who held it but it was passed down to Rei. Lee looked up to Rei as one of his brothers but when he left and took the white tiger with him, he swore to get revenge. That wasn't even the end of it. Rei had betrayed him, he betrayed the White Tiger, mostly he betrayed the tribe and Lee was not going to let that go without punishment.

Lee stood up and shouted to Rei and Rei started to walk back. "Mark my word Rei, I'm going to make you pay you traitor!"

Rei didn't turn back to look at Lee but Kai saw that it hurt Rei to hear that. Tyson was about to head toward the dish when Kai got up and stopped him.

"Tyson, I want to battle Lee." He said.

"Kai. You want to…battle him?" Tyson asked curiously. But then when he saw Kai holding Dranzer. "Alright." He said and nodded to his leader. "We're counting on you."

Kai walked forward and stood in front of the beydish.

"So your going to be the one I crush first. Fine by me." Lee said before looking at Rei. "Your next."

"Don't think I'll let you touch him without getting past me first." Kai growled.

"Don't worry I'll get past you easily." Lee said and got ready to launch.

"Don't count on it." Kai said and got ready too.
