Here's the next chapter for you guys! Just a reminder: I don't update unless I get at least one supportive review.
The gang got to know each other more and everyone is traveling down the street when Tyson and Chris saw a poster,
"Look! Another tournament!" said Chris,
"Nice! The Mystic Bladers will win this time!" said Tek,
"I don't think so! The BladeBreakers won't have their title taken away that easily!" said Tyson.
"Come on guys! Let's go train!" said Ulrich,
"Together or separately?" Ray asked.
"I say together!" said Tek,
"Me too," said Chris,
"Yeah! It's nice to train with new people," said Max,
"Definitely together," said Ray,
"Might as well," said Tyson,
"Okay," said Kaida,
Kai said nothing,
"I kind of wanted to do it separately. They might learn our techniques," said Ulrich,
"Yeah, but we'll learn theirs," said Chris,
"I'll just train alone then," said Ulrich,
"Oh come on!" said Tek dragging him to Tyson's dojo,
"Fine," said Ulrich.
After an intense afternoon of training everyone took a break.
"I'm heading out," said Kaida,
"Want company?" Ray asked and Kai gave him a glare but no one seemed to notice.
"No, it's okay, I'll be back soon!" said Kaida and left the dojo.
She walked to a big field that's just plain with flowers. She laid down and let the wind blow.
"Hello, Kaida," Kaida shot up and turned around.
She looked surprised at first, but kept her cool.
"What do you want Zeke?" she asked.
"You should know about the tournament coming up and I want to make a deal with you," said Zeke. He has spiky brown hair and a rattail that goes gown his back above the hips. And icy blue eyes.
"I don't want to make any deals with you," said Kaida laying back down and ignoring him.
"I think you might reconsider. When we battle in the tournament, there's something on the line. If you win, you get my blade,"
"What are you up to?" Kaida asked sitting up and looking at him.
"I know you! You won't let anyone touch your blade and you're putting your blade on the line?"
"That's right, but if I win, you'll have to come with me and I'll leave out some details," said Zeke.
"Pass," and she lies back down.
"You haven't changed at all," said Zeke,
"That's right, I'm just as stubborn so leave me alone or I'll have to make you," said Kaida,
"I'm the one making it easy for you. You can come with me now, or you'll come with me when I defeat you in the tournament,"
"I'm not agreeing with the deal! So leave me alone now!" Kaida was losing her patience.
"I knew you were afraid of me. Don't make me blackmail, so think about it and meet me back here tonight. See you soon, cutie," and he turns to leave.
"I hate that guy with a dying passion!" she muttered to herself when he was out of sight,
"Next time someone offers company, I'll say yes," she muttered and went back to the dojo.
"Where've you been Kaida?" Tek asked.
"I need a word with you guys," she said and explains to her team excluding Chris.
"Should we tell Chris about this?" Ulrich asked,
"Of course not, he'll freak," said Tek.
"If he threatens to blackmail then he will, remember how many times you thought he was bluffing when he wasn't?" Ulrich reminded.
"Yeah, I guess I'll have to agree with his deal," said Kaida,
"What are you guys worried about? You've kicked his butt how many times?" said Tek,
"She's right, we've never lost to the Blade Casters and we won't start now," said Ulrich.
"Yeah, but something doesn't feel right," said Kaida.
That night:
"I guess I have no choice but to agree with that deal of yours," said Kaida,
"Glad you saw it my way, sweetie," said Zeke with a smirk.
"Perv!" She kicked him hard,
"Later!" and she left.
"OW! I hope he felt that!" said Tek when Kaida told her,
"Where did you kick him?" Ulrich asked,
"Oh what do you think?" Kaida asked.
"The tournament's starting in a couple of days, so are we ready?" Chris asked both teams,
"Of course!" said Tyson.
"Yeah yeah, we know we're all ready, so let's hang out today!" said Tek.
"What should we do today then?" Ulrich asked.
"Shopping spree!"
"NO!" everyone shouted to Tek.
Ray pulled Kaida aside,
"Want to hang out with me…alone?" he asked.
"Sure, why not?" Kaida answered.
"Guys! We're going out," said Ray,
"See you later!" said Kaida,
"Later!" said Chris
"Bye!" said Tek
"See ya," said Ulrich
"Do you guys have a code that says you have to say bye to each other when one of you leaves or something?" Tyson asks.
"You could say that," said Tek.
Secretly, Kai was boiling a bit knowing those two are together…alone.
The two walked but didn't say anything yet.
"Want ice cream?" Ray asked,
"Sure," Kaida answered.
They got their ice cream and sat on the bench by the park together.
"So, do you like it here? With us?" Ray asked,
"I do, a lot. My team travels around the world so we tend to live in different places, but never have I felt like home like I do here," said Kaida.
"How long do you plan on staying?" Ray asked.
"Hopefully, for a long time,"
"I think my team would like that,"
"Especially Tyson since he seems to love my cooking so much," and the two laughed at that.
"You know, I, oh never mind,"
"What is it, Ray?"
"Never mind," he said again.
"If you say so," said Kaida. The two spent the rest of the day together doing whatever is fun for the both of them.
They had so much fun together that they lost track of time. It was almost evening and was starting to get dark.
"Ray, that was one of the most fun times I had in my life!" said Kaida.
"So thanks,"
"Anytime," said Ray.
The two were walking back, when Kaida took Ray's arm, he blushed a bit. They were back at Tyson's dojo, but before they went in, Ray gave Kaida a quick peck on the cheek. She blushed and so did Ray. Then they heard some snickering and, "WHHOOO!" and, "OOHHHHH!" unfortunately, their friends were watching from inside and outside the dojo.
"YOU GUYS!" they both said blushing even more form embarrassment,
"Hey, didn't know you liked the Chinese guy, Kaida," said Tek,
"Oh back off!" said Kaida. Everyone started teasing them except Kenny since he doesn't like teasing much. And Kai, he was just standing with the same serious expression on his face. But right now, he seems more like mad than serious.
That night:
Kai was on the rooftop looking at the sky.
"Hey Kai," he looked beside him where Kaida took her seat next too him. She laid down too,
"So how have you been?" she asked,
"I'm fine," he answered looking back up at the sky.
Then there were silence between them.
"You seem upset about something, want to talk about it?" Kaida asked,
"No," he said plain and simple.
"Okay, but I advise that you do. It's not really a good idea to keep everything bundled up inside of you," she said.
"Whatever,"
More silence.
"Those stars over there look like a spinning beyblade," Kaida pointed to a group of stars,
"I don't see it," said Kai,
"You might if you have an imagination,"
"Nope, don't see it. I see a fiery phoenix," said Kai
"Okay, let's see….there's a dragon over there,"
"Are you sure you aren't making that up?"
"No, it's really a dragon right there!" she pointed.
"Dragon huh? It figures,"
"Why?"
"Your name means 'Little Dragon' so it's no surprise that you're seeing dragons now," said Kai,
"Oh yeah? Well you know what 'Kai' means? It means 'Little!' or 'shellfish!'"
"My name can have more meanings than that you know," said Kai,
"Yeah, whatever you say, Kai," she sits up, Kai too.
"Tell me about you and your friends," said Kai,
"We travel a lot but I'm hoping to stay here,"
"Aren't you their leader? Can't you make them stay?" Kai asked,
"I could, but I'm not the bossy type…sometimes. Well, when it comes to training I can be. But, when we decide stuff, we promised that we will all agree on it. So, hopefully all four of us are willing to stay here," said Kaida.
"If you stay here, you're going to end up cooking Tyson's meals everyday," said Kai,
"I guess that's how I'm going to pay the rent for living in his house!" she said with a smile.
The two spend the rest of the time talking and gazing at the stars. Until Kaida couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep while sitting and fell on Kai's shoulder.
Kai turned when he felt something on his shoulder. It looks like Kaida fell asleep on him. A small (and I mean small) grin appeared on his face. It was getting chili out too, so Kai picked her up bridal style, jumped off the roof and took her inside.
Inside, he didn't want to leave her. So he stayed with her when he put her to bed.
Outside by a tree:
"Forget what you said about the Chinese guy, I think she fancies that boy with the two-toned hair!" said Ai with binoculars,
"I think she makes a better couple with the Chinese guy, what's his name? Ray?" said Aqua,
"No way! She makes a better couple with that guy with the two-toned hair! Kai I think?" said Ai,
"You two shut up!" said Zeke,
"What's the matter? Mad that she chose those two over you?" Aqua teased.
Zeke was getting furious,
"It could be used as an advantage you know," said Blaze, the last boy.
Zeke stopped.
"Keep talking," he said.
"Remember, that Kai person is Voltaire's grandson," Blaze answered.
"Oh yeah," said Aqua,
"Good point," said Zeke,
"If you ask me, Zeke and Kaida make a horrible couple since Zeke can be such a perv," Ai whispered to Aqua.
Zeke heard and a vein appeared,
"Say that again," he said,
"Say what again?" Ai asked trying to act innocent.
"Stop fighting, besides, we're supposed to crush the Mystic Bladers in the tournament. Hm, maybe I should've made a deal with Tek…" Blaze said rubbing his chin,
"Don't get your hopes up! Tek would never and you're not the blackmailing type of person. And once Zeke defeats Kaida in a beybattle, we're giving her to Tala remember?" Aqua reminded.
"I can't wait to battle Chris! Once I win he'll have to go on a date with me!" said Ai,
"But he's either beaten or tied with you every time you two beybattled!" reminded Aqua.
"Zeke never won against her either," Ai pointed out.
"Okay, you're dead," said Zeke cracking his knuckles.
Next: The tournament begins. Both the BladeBreakers and the Mystic Bladers made it to the top. But the Blade Casters are planning to defeat Kaida when they vs. the Mystic Bladers in the semifinals. How? Cheat.
