First of all I want to say sorry to all those who believed that I had posted a new chapter. I really can't explain why the first chapter appeared as being the new one, but I hope you guys can forgive me for that. This is the real 13th chapter, but I need to warn you: this sucks from the beginning to the end.
I told you I was suffering of a writer's block, and I still am, but when I understood the first chapter had been posted by accident I felt the need to write something for you guys even though I am aware it's not good.
I really hope you can forgive me for everything.
Finally I want to thank SGCred, grand admiral chelli, Paris Super Girls, sliverwolf for your reviews and support and I want to say sorry to both Rapper Kitten and Sakura Silvy who believed that the new chapter had been posted.
Once again I ask for forgiveness not only for the mistaken chapter but also because I know this new chapter isn't good. I cannot tell you when I'll post the next because this fic is really turning into a problem for me to solve.

Chapter 13: Somewhere I Belong
Silence was surrounding the dojo while darkness continued to creep from every hidden corner, and while icy aqua-green eyes continued locked with slightly surprised reddish-brown ones clouds had started to cover the once peaceful night.
"Hn I would be surprised if you hadn't recognized me." Nami commented as she crossed her arms, a smirk still on her face "But I have to admit I was not expecting to see you turning your back to an enemy. I never thought you would dismiss a battle."
"Hn, I didn't dismiss a battle." Kai corrected as he also folded his arms against his chest "You were the one playing hide and seek."
"Oh is Kai Hiwatari too old to have fun?" Nami asked in a mock way "Pff honestly one day you'll wake up, and your hair will be completely white."
"What are you doing here?" Kai asked as if he hadn't heard the girl comment, and Nami raised an eyebrow suspicious:
"Do you really want me think you don't know?" she asked back before rolling her eyes "Please don't tell me you didn't know I would return to make you pay for all you did."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kai asked, and Nami raised her hand forward. Without any order the girl's beyblade turned left, and after passing beside Kai it flew to Nami' hand "Why are you here? Did Ivanov tell you to come here?"
"Ivanov?" Nami replied sounding confused by a second, but all confusion disappeared from her face as soon as the girl blinked "Hn I came here on my own, and because someone has to make you pay for everything you did to me."
"Hey Kai, what's up?" Tyson asked as he appeared at the door of the dojo, but as soon as his eyes fell over the dark reddish-orange haired girl he gave a step backwards, and almost fell on the floor "Whoa, what are you doing here?"
"What a bunch of weaklings." Nami muttered as she watched the Psychics, White Tigers, and the rest of the Bladebreakers appearing behind Tyson "Hn, but now that you're all here I can finally put my plan in action."
"What are you talking about, Nami?" Kane asked as he blinked in confusion "Why are you here? What happened to you?"
"You're gonna find out soon enough." Nami replied with a smirk before launching her beyblade towards Kai's feet, and her smirk turned into a malice smile when Nami noticed the confused looks in everyone's faces "Akumu!"
"What are you planning?" Salima asked as she watched the aqua-green bit-chip glow, and a black panther emerged from it at same time its eyes flash red before turning into an odd colour of silver. The panther was huge as always, but its glitter seemed silver and not black.
"Akumu, Defectio Lunae!" Nami shouted, and the panther's eyes glowed black at same time a roar broke the silence of the night
Before anyone could react a blizzard appeared out of nowhere, and clouds started shocking against each other in the sky at same time they kept the moonlight and starlight away from earth. It was completely dark especially since there was no electric light around.
"What are you going to do?" Mariah asked shocked by her friend's behaviour "Nami what happened to you?""Akumu, debilitare!" Nami ordered to her bit-beast and Akumu roared again. However, this time the aqua-green gem on the bit-beast's silver helmet glowed silver, and before the huge group of beybladers could react a silver ray was shot from the gem, and hit them making everyone screaming as the silver light seemed to penetrate their skin and burn them on the inside.
At the sight in front of her Nami smirked again, and pointed towards the still hurt group before shouting one last order:
"Somniare!" at same time Nami's eyes flashed silver and black before returning to their usual colour Akumu jumped in front of the group of teenagers, and her eyes turned black.
When everyone focused his/her attention in Akumu the bit-beast's eyes flashed silver, and before anyone could even move an inch all of them fell on the ground sleeping. Everyone except one.
"What did you do with them?" Kai asked in a surprising calm voice, but Nami looked at Akumu, who stared back at her owner, and after a nod from the girl the bit-beast disappeared in thin air, and in seconds the blood-red beyblade was back to Nami's open hand.
"I did nothing I just decided to have some fun." Nami replied with a small smile on her face "I just decided to leave you conscious just because they're going to need someone who'll take care of them."
"What do you mean?" Kai asked now hating his lack of information, and Nami snorted in return:
"Do you really think I'm going to tell you that?" she asked "Please I thought you were smarter than that. But you have a choice: you can either try to follow me, and get killed or you can stay here watching over these weaklings, and find out what happened in the morning."
As he looked over his shoulder Kai saw his friends laying down on the ground, some even snoring loudly, but when he looked back to the place where Nami was he blinked when he saw she wasn't there anymore.
"Foolish girl." Kai muttered under his breath before walking towards the door of the dojo, and sat down on the wooden floor with his arms crossed against his chest.

A pair of golden eyes fluttered open but quickly shut again due to the bright light coming from the Sun, and a groan escaped from a pair of pinks lips. It looked as if it was still too early to be up, but a sudden cold breeze made the Chinese pink haired girl sat up only to blink when she realised she was not in her bed.
"What in the world…" in confusion Mariah looked around her, and saw she had fallen asleep in the middle of the garden, just like everyone else, and she was sat rather close to a certain Chinese black haired boy, who was purring in his sleep
A soft blush covered the golden eyed girl's cheeks, and slowly Mariah layed on her elbow, and watched Ray sleeping soundly next to her, curled up and resembling to a cat sleeping. Then she bent forward, and without being able to control her actions, Mariah let her lips find Ray's.
With a start Ray opened his eyes, and blushed ten shades of red when he saw Mariah kissing him blindly, for she had her eyes close, but instead of breaking the kiss the boy wrapped an arm around Mariah's waist pulling her closer.
A soft moan was heard close followed by a purr, and without being able to control his hormones, Ray layed Mariah under him, his hands still holding the girl's hips while Mariah's hands run through his hair. Even though that was the first time he was kissing the Chinese girl Ray had never felt so at easy with someone even though his cheeks were completely red.
"Ray…" Mariah moaned as the boy started kissing her neck, his hands running up and down her sides creating a tickling sensation, but before she could mumble something else Ray captured her lips again "Oh Ray…"
SLAP
"OUCH!"
With a start Mariah opened her eyes, and blinked when her eyes looked straight to the sky and not to Ray's golden eyes, and in confusion the pink haired girl looked to her side only to see Tyson holding his cheek while Hillary stormed inside the dojo. It was clear none of them had acknowledge they had slept in the garden, but that also passed unnoticed by Mariah who looked to her other side, and blushed when she saw Ray sleeping next to her.
'But what was that?' Mariah asked as she continued to watch Ray sleeping and purring once in a while 'Was that a reality unreal? But everything looked so real…the Sun, the wind…the kisses…'
"What the hell happened?" a voice asked, and though she couldn't stop herself from blushing Mariah looked behind her only to open her eyes wide when she saw Salima using Kane's chest as a pillow, but her eyes quickly turned to her brother, who was standing up
"Yeah, can anyone tell me what happened?" Jimmy asked as he run a hand down his pants, and Kai, who had been watching everything in complete silence, grunted
"Hey wait a minute, wasn't Nami here last night?" Goki asked as he stared at his friends while Jimmy tried to wake both Salima and Kane up
"Now that you talk about it yes, she was here." Mariah commented as she shook Ray in an attempt to make the boy wake up "But what happened? I can only remember seeing Akumu."
"Wake those sloths up, and I'll explain everything." Kai ordered coldly as he stood up before walking inside the dojo leaving a group of confused beybladers behind
"Does anyone remember what happened?" Lee asked as he shook both Kevin and Gary awake "I really don't remember much."
"Hum…Mariah…" Ray mumbled in his sleep making the pink haired girl, who was still trying to wake him up, blush in embarrassment:
"Ray wake up." Mariah whispered trying not to sound nervous "C'mon, we need to find out what happened yesterday."
With a moan – which definitely didn't help to make Mariah stop blushing – Ray opened his eyes, only to blink due to the sunlight hitting his eyes:
"Where am I?" he asked in confusion while sitting up, and Mariah put a hand over his shoulder making the boy turn to her, still looking sleepy:
"Nami was here yesterday." the pink haired girl explained as Jimmy finally managed to wake both Salima and Kane, who flushed when they saw the position they were in "I think she did something to us, and we all ended up sleeping in the garden."
"What? Nami would never atta-" Ray trailed off when flashes from the previous night appeared in his mind, and the Chinese boy clenched his fists "What was she thinking? Attacking us like that!"
"That's what we need to find out." Mariah replied as Tyson woke both Max and Chief up though still rubbing his sore cheek "And we also need to find out what Tyson did to make Hillary slap him."
Though he didn't managed to suppress a yawn Ray nodded before standing up, and scratch the top of his eyes, his still half opened golden eyes turning to his dark blue haired friend:
"Hey Tyson, what did you do to Hillary?" he asked though he had not heard the slap, and Tyson turned to him before shrugging:
"I don't remember, but I think I tried to kiss her in my sleep." he replied not aware of the words that had just escaped his lips, and Chief looked at him:
"You tried to kiss Hillary? Why?" he asked confused, and Tyson shrugged:
"Don't ask me, maybe insanity crossed my mind while I was sleeping." he replied this time not aware that Hillary had heard him since she was sat on the living-room, with her arms crossed

The office was dark as always except for the lights that came from the computers' screens while the sound of many fingers typing broke the usual silence of that place. Footsteps would also be heard once in a while when reports were finished and immediately given to someone else.
However, when the automatic door was opened everyone who was working inside stopped for a second only to watch as Nami stepped inside, her blood-red beyblade in her hand, and an emotionless look on her face.
"What?" the girl asked to the group of scientists, that continued their work when the girl started making her way towards Boris, who was looking at four screens with his hands behind his back: on each screen the image of the four Bladebreakers could be found, and a frown replaced Nami's emotionless look for a second:
"You called?" the dark reddish-orange haired girl asked as she looked at Boris, who continued to stare at the four screens for a couple of seconds before turning to her, a smirk on his face:
"Tell me Nami, what do you feel when you look at them?" the man asked as he pointed to the four screens with his chin, and Nami folded her bandaged arms against her chest:
"I see those I need to destroy." she replied, her voice void of any emotion "I feel hate, range, but most of all I feel pity."
"Pity?" Boris repeated with an eyebrow raised, and Nami nodded as she turned to him again "Why pity? Why not just hate?"
"Those who face me will only end up dead." Nami explained as she looked at the four screens, but her cold aqua-green eyes rested on Kai even though the girl was not entire conscious of that "All of them, including their pitiful friends, will drown in a reality they'll believe to be real until it's too late to return from it."
"And when are you planning to go 'visit' them again?" Boris asked as he also crossed his arms "I was told your last 'visit' was rather…interesting not to mention advantageous."
Slowly Nami tore her eyes off Kai's picture, and turned to the man beside her, a cold smirk on her face and her eyes shinning in mystery:
"It was, and they will not understand what hit them until I go there again." she replied smirking "They are going to start feeling confused by what happened last night and by what's to happen in the future. They will not understand, they'll become confused and desperate to know everything, and it will be then that I'll appear again."
"To make the final attack." Boris finished, and Nami nodded in agreement, and when the man started laughing like a madman the dark reddish-orange haired girl turned to the four screens, and looked at Kai's picture: it was strange, despite the hate she felt for the Russian boy Nami also felt something else…something she couldn't understand.
From the shadows Tala watched as Boris started talking about Akumu with Nami, and crossed his arms against his chest: no matter how hard it would be to him, he knew he had to act. Tala knew he was the only one who could show his sister she already belonged to a place and even to someone even though both of them had yet accepted it.
To Be Continued…
