CHAPTER 4: WHEN THE TIGER SCRATCHES, THE HEAVEN RISES

DK: HEY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!

Kai: You're late!

Rayne: Late for what?

Kai: For the update.

DK: I'm only a day alate. I was writing till 11pm last night. And I spent all my morning and after school typing this up. And it's one of the longest chapter.

Rayne: Anyways, today we have our guest star... KITTY-KRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

K-K: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!! ::Waves frantically::

Rayne: Heyo Everyone.

Kai: You're in a good mood all of a sudden!

Rayne: Shut it bro.

Amber: ::skips into the studio:: HEYA EVERYONE!!!

Kai: Great! How many more?

DK: Oh loads more.

Amber: ::Glomps on DK:: DK!!!!

DK: AMBER!!! Anymore coming?

Amber: ANYA!!!!

Rayne: Hey where is that twin sister of mine?

Kai: O.O Twin sister?

Rayne: Well, she's not really my twin sister. We've gone through too much together we call ourselves twin.

Kai: Fair enough.

DK, K-K, Amber: O.O

K-K: Since when did Kai talk like that?

DK: Must be a twin thing.

Amber: I don't think so. RAYNE!! When are you going to go back to your cheerful self?

Rayne: Soon.

K-K: And how the hell did you get Kai to talk like that?

Rayne: ::shrugs:: I don't know... I guess it's how you push his button and I'm the only one who knows how to do that at the moment.

DK: Oh yeah.

Anya: ::walks in:: And she has her own ways with guys.

K-K: What took you?

Anya: Tyson and Alexia won't get up. It's Déjà vu all over again. ::sighs::

DK: That's the Kinomiya for you. They stuff their face and sleep in. I don't even know how Tyson became world champion.

Anya: OK. Who's gonna do the review?

DK: Well since K-K is our guest star... she's gonna do it.

K-K: YAY!!!

Amber: She can get hyper?

DK: ::sweatdrops:: Err... yeah!

Amber: YIPEE!!!

K-K: Here goes!

Minijkitty: Glad you liked it... here's chapter four for you.

SapphireSword: the girls' attitudes are similar than the boys but they can go way over line. At the moment Rayne is pissed (Don't know why) Anya and Vivien are normal and Amber and Alexia are extra hyper. Thank you for the compliment,

A-Water-Fairy-From-Winx-Club: Glad you like the story. Here's chapter 4.

Amber: PROBLEM!!!

K-K: What?

Anya: How are you going to answer your own review?

K-K: Good question?
DK: ::Smacks her forehead:: These guys are nutters. I'll do it. ::clears throat::

Kitty-Kris : Well their faces are hilarious if you imagine it and actually draw it (there's an idea for me to draw). And I will update as long as I get your review. You're my lucky star so as long as I have your review, I will update normally which is every Saturday or Sunday but if I have not got your review, my fic will be on hold until you review. Now there's some torture. So you better review first or second.

K-K: That was mean.

DK: You are my lucky star.

K-K: That's nice but to have to be the first or second to review... I've got school.

Anya: Just finish it off and then we'll have a chat about this.

K-K: Okay.

SchoolBoredom: Thank you. What time did you wake up anyways? DK always wakes up at 8:00am just to watch new episodes of Beyblade G-Rev.

DK: Correction. 8:20am. And leave Schoolboredom alone. What about you? What time do you wake up?

K-K: None of your business.

DK AND K-K STARTS ARGUING

Amber: ::Sighs: DK does not own beyblade except the Blade Angels and their bit-beasts.

Anya: Here's chapter 4.

Kai: This should be good.

Anya: You know you haven't said much.

Kai: What is there to say?

Anya: We need Rayne to push your buttons

Kai: LEAVE... ME... ALONE...

"3... 2... 1... LET IT RIP!"

Three different beyblades all landed in the middle of the dish their attack ring in contact before flying away to the edge of the dish and circling each other.

"Go Silverwings!" Vivien screamed.

"Attack Trumpcard!" Anya shouted.

"Battle on Deathscythe!" Rayne commanded.

The beyblades met and attacked each other in the middle of the dish by their mistress command before parting again and circling each other at the edge of the rim.

"OK. Next stage girls." Rayne said.

"Silverwings! Orb tornado!" Vivien commanded

"Trumpcard! Chaos Volcano!" Anya shouted.

"Deathscythe! Black Feather Arrow attack!" Rayne cried.

Each beyblade went into a space inside the dish and stayed spinning in its spot. Anya's beyblade glowed blue and the Blue Angel of Chaos took her form, with blue ribbons surrounding her, ready to attack. The same happened to Vivien's as the White angel of Light took form with white orb surrounding her. And lastly it happened to Deathscythe as the Black Angel of Death took her form with black feathers surrounding her.

And with a war cry, the bit-beasts attacked head on, forming a loud cloud of dust. But when it cleared, the three beyblades were still spinning. They all made contact once again in the middle of the dish before flying away and retreated into it's owner's hand. Anya and Vivien caught their blades on either side of the bey-dish and Rayne caught her blade while standing in the tree.

A pair of crimson eyes and a pair of icy blue eyes watched as the hand of a two-toned girl caught the black beyblade.

"They look powerful." Tala said.

"That's probably a fluke." Kai grunted.

"You jealous?" Tala asked.

"No."

Tala didn't say anymore as they saw the two of the three girls retreat to their hotel, but they kept their eyes on the one that stayed in the tree. They saw her looked at her beyblade and sighed before jumping down from the tree and walking deeper into the forest.

They boys followed quietly, absently, keeping their distance, their mind in deep thought and their mouth open for small talk. Because they were in deep thought, they didn't know where they were going, even though they were following the young girl, they felt a cold, strong wind blowing into their face like a cold, wet fish smacking at someone's face and a scary feeling was creeping upwards in their body.

They pulled themselves back into reality and found themselves no longer in the green forest, but in a ghostly, haunted cemetery. The wind blew again; rustling the dead leaves on the ground, blowing Kai's scarf in the opposite direction the wind was blowing from. Apart from the strong wind blowing, the rustling of the leaves and the creaking sound of the gate they came through unnoticed, they could hear footsteps nearby and silently followed, retracing the step Rayne took.

Rayne weaved in and out of the maze of the graveyard, carefully not to step on the dug up ground, reading the tombstone as she passed, calculating fast Math in her head at the years each person lived, giving pity to the dead and to the loved ones.

Rayne continued walking to the center on the haunted, snowy cemetery in Russia and kneeled down between two tombs.

Carl Hiwatari

A Loving husband and

the children's Hero

1963-2000

Hikari Hiwatari

A wonderful wife and

a loving mother

1965-2000

Rayne placed a daisy she picked on her way on each tomb and just stared at the stone where a photo of her parents was placed.

"I'm sorry mother. It has been a long time since we've talked. And you dad. I'm sorry to you too. I have no excuses to why I haven't visited but as you know from where you are, I haven't been in the country.

"Well guess what? I'll be staying Russia as soon as the tournament is finished and I'll sort Grandfather Voltaire out."

Rayne placed her black beyblade in the middle of the space between the graves and sighed before continuing.

"I couldn't bring him today." Kai heard her talk while watching from behind a tree near herm with Tala next to him listening intensely too.

"I guess he was taking his time letting the information sink in. I don't blame him. If I just found out that I have a twin all this time and didn't know it, I would have been shocked too. But it would have been nice if he were here. You want to see him don't you? I do. Pretty badly. All my life I've known Kai, all my life I've been lonely, longing for sibling rivalry."

Kai heard her sigh and saw her got up from her sitting position.

"Guess it will be a while till it happens."

Kai watched with teary eyes as he saw the girl walk through the creaky lack gate and walked towards the grove she has recently visited. He gasped as he saw the writing on the tombstone.

"What is it?" Tala asked.

"My... my parents graves." Kai choked and a lone tear rolled down his cheek and fell onto the black beyblade. Kai looked down at the beyblade and picked it up. The bit-chip glowed black and a soothing voice of the bit-beast spoke in his mine.

"Greetings, master Kai. I am Deathscythe, the Angel of Death. I am the guardian and bit-beast of your twin sister, Lady Rayne."

"Nice to meet you, Deathscythe." Kai whispered.

Rayne opened the door of the hotel room to find her ears were filled wit screaming and saw Alexia running into the nearest bathroom to fill her mouth with cold water to fight of the burning feeling.

"What happened?" Rayne asked.

"Alexia slept in again." Vivien sighed.

"Woke her up with red chilli." Anya reported.

Amber giggled at the memory of Alexia's eyes going as wide as a plate and teary, jumping out of bed and running to find water. She then spotted Rayne and glomped her.

"Rayne!" she cried.

"Morning." Rayne greeted.

"Come on, Alexia! Lets go already!" Amber whined.

"Alright, alright1 I'm coming!" Alexia shouted. Alexia appeared in the living room of the hotel, wearing her usual pink and purple clothing, putting her cap on.

"About time." Vivien commented. Alexia stuck her tongue out at her until grumbling replaced the silence. A sheepish grin played on Alexia's lips.

"Let's go." Rayne rolled her eyes.

"FOOD!" Alexia and Amber shouted and ran out of the hotel room and all the way to the elevator.

DING!

The Blade Angels exited the elevator and into the lobby, taking the familiar route to the free-buffet breakfast. As they enter, they heard the usual whining of food and four out of five girls turned to the fifth member. But the matchmaker had her mouth shut and shrug as they heard the whining again. They all turned to the source of the voice and found the Bladebreakers having their breakfast, one of them whining and two of them having a huge anime vein popping on their head.

The Blade Angels turned to the twin of the food-whiner before walking to a table, passing the Bladebreakers and taking a seat.

Rayne immediately took her laptop out and placed a bit-chip shaped like a crescent moon in the slot beside the keyboard and started typing on the laptop.

"What are you typing?" Amber asked.

"I'm analysing our beyblade. I fixed them up last night, getting them ready for today's match." Rayne answered.

"How are the stats?" Anya asked. The Blade Angels returned with a plate of breakfast. Anya got an extra plate in which has Rayne's favourite breakfast, roast potatoes, croissants and boiled eggs.

"Thanks." Rayne said as Anya placed her plate on the table.

Ray, being the neko-jin of the Bladebreakers picked up the conversation from where he was seated and gently kicked Kai's shin. When he looked up questionably at Ray, Ray nodded his head in the direction of the Blade Angels. Kai tried to get eye-contact wit this twin but the girl has her eyes on the screen, one hand typing on the keyboard, and the other hand picking up the fork to feed herself.

Kai sighed and got up.

"Come on. We've got a match to win." And the team followed. Rayne lifted her eyes and placed it at the back of the blunette. Kai felt something watching him and he turned round but Rayne had her eyes back on the screen. As soon as the Bladebreakers were out of earshot, Rayne spoke.

"They heard us?"

"Yep."

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls to the first round of the semi-finals!" Jazzman screamed into the microphone.

The crowd cheered as the two teams entered the stadium, all with determination looks on their faces.

"Will the competitors please step forward?" Jazzman said. Max and Gary stepped forwards and got into their launching position.

"3...2...1...LET IT RIP!" Jazzman called.

"Let it rip! Go Draciel!" Max commanded.

The green beyblade landed in the middle of the dish while the red beyblade that belongs to Gary circled in the dish, destroying it.

"Go Maxie!" Amber cheered.

"Gary is channelling his anger into his beyblade, making its attack powerful enough to knock Max's defence and knock his blade out of the dish all in one go or in this case under the ruins of the bey-dish." Rayne explained.

"Like so." Vivien added.

Amber watched the match and saw how the girls who are only a year or two older than she was were right. Gary put all of his rage in his beyblade and as he circled Max's beyblade, the stadium was going to pieces and all landing on top of Draciel, making the beyblade stopped spinning and giving the White Tigers a step closer to victory.

"Oh no!" Amber cried.

"NO! DRACIEL!" Max jumped into the destroyed stadium and fished out his damaged beyblade.

"It looks like this one is over. Gary take the first round for the WHITE TIGERS!" Jazzman announced.

The crowd cheered when Max finally found Draciel damaged. Gary turned and walked back to his team.

"That was awesome, Gary." A pink-haired girl commented.

"Thanks Mariah."

"Can the next competitor step into the ring please?" Jazzman spoke.

"Mariah. Win it for us." Lee advised.

"I will." Mariah promised.

Max returned to his team, looking sadly at his shoulder. He felt something on his shoulder and lifted his blue eyes to be contact with a pair of cat-like amber eyes.

"I win this one. I promise." Ray said.

Max gave him a small smile. "Thanks Ray!"

Ray smiled back and walked passed Max and entered the ring, facing Mariah.

"This should be good." Alexia commented.

"Galex is a mountain cat and Driga is a white Tiger. They are both feline type of animal so you should expect something like a cat-fight." Vivien reported.

"Cool." Anya commented.

Amber was still eyeing Max, who was sitting on the bench, his hand tightly holding the damaged Draciel and was watching the match when the two competitors let it rip.

"Draciel isn't permanently damaged. He'll be fine. If it makes you happy, we can go and see him now." Rayne said quietly.

"Please." Amber almost cried.

Rayne and Anya exchanged eye contact and Anya nodded, understand and Rayne and Amber left, joining the Bladebreakers at their bench.

"MAXIE!" someone called.

Max got up from his seat and turned to the source of the sound, only to be glomped by something yellow.

"What?" Tyson questioned, looking surprised.

"How's Draciel?" Amber asked letting go of Max.

"He's doing fine, sis." Max answered.

Amber blinked.

"Getting used to the idea of having a twin sister?" Rayne asked.

"Yeah. And you know what? It feels great." Max answered.

"YAY!" Amber hugged her brother again.

Rayne turned her attention back to the match at hand and her pupils turned into slits and her fangs can be seen faintly.

"Ray, what the hell are you doing? Manoeuvre your blade a bit and attack head on!" Rayne screamed. Ray ears pricked up the advice and carried out the order.

"Driga! Tiger Claw Attack!" Ray screamed.

Ray's beyblade picked up the speed and attacked head on, knocking Mariah's beyblade out of the dish.

"And this round goes to the BLADEBREAKERS!" Jazz screamed into the mike. The crowd cheered for the defending champion as Ray took his blade and returned to his team at the bench.

"Thanks, Rayne. I would have been zoned out completely if you didn't screamed."

"Vivien would have done the same thing in your place." Rayne shot back. Rayne nodded. "Your turn bud." Ray said to Tyson.

"Alright!" Tyson cheered.

Rayne turned to Amber. "You cans stay and watch the match with the Bladebreakers, but as soon as it is over, gather the Blade Angels and meet me back at the BA Box. (1)"

"Aye, aye, Cap'n." Amber saluted.

Rayne rolled her eyes and retreated. Kai got up to follow her was pulled back by Tala, who shook his head. All Kai could do was watch the back of the retreated form as she was swallowed up the darkness of the stadium hallway.

"Let it rip!"

Two more other beyblades attack Deathscythe, making it wobble slightly as she was caught off guard. Rayne lifted her eyes towards the entrance of the BA Box to see her teammates ready for action.

"Deathscythe, retreat."

Deathscythe knocked the other two beyblades, returning it to their owners before flying safely into Rayne's opened hand.

"What happened?" Rayne asked, talking about the Bladebreaker's match.

"Tyson won." Anya answered.

"Narrowly." Vivien added.

"But the Bladebreakers are through..." Alexia started but was cut off by Amber, "And into the finals."

Rayne nodded. "Then I want our match to be swift and quick. Launch, attack, and knock it out of the dish, retreat. Four things to do within two minutes max."

The Blade Angels nodded and three out of five walked towards the stadium. Rayne let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and looked at Anya.

"I sounded like the evil Boris back then didn't I?" Rayne shuddered. Anya nodded.

"Lets go, sis."

"Right behind ya."

Rayne closed the door when she stepped outside and she and Anya ran up to the hallway and caught up with their team.

"And the second round goes to the Blade Angels." Jazzman announced. The crowd cheered for the girls as Vivien returned to her team. Alexia was jumping around Vivien, Amber was sulking in the corner of the bench, Anya was switching off the laptop Rayne let her borrow and Rayne was leaning against the black, arms folded and her eyes closed.

"The Blade Angels won the first two rounds of the semi-finals..." Jazzman started. The screen showed five columns each with a member in the column.

"Advancing themselves into the final where they would play a tag-tema game against the Bladebreakers." Jazzman finished.

Rayne opened her eyes only to be met by another pair of crimson eyes at a distant. Rayne and Kai kept their eyes locked, blocking all the sounds around them and wandering deeper into their mind when they first accept each other as siblings.

FLASHBACK

Rayne walked through the creaky black gates out of the graveyard and a few yards towards the nearest tree, before collapsing, her eyes teary for the lack of family warmth.

Rayne kept her eyes tightly shut to keep the tears from falling but a lone tear rolled down her cheek but was quickly brushed away by a familiar touch.

Rayne opened her eyes to see a pair of crimson eyes reflecting back, full of concern and no longer emotionless.

Kai closed the gap between his sister and himself and kissed her forhead before puling her into a sibling embrace which neither were familiar with.

END OF FLASHBACK

Rayne tore her eyes away and stood up properly as her team finaly calmed down and ready to leave. Anya gave Rayne her laptop back and the Blade Angels turned to leave. Rayne gave a final glance at the bluenette before disappearing.
