Journey of the soul

Disclaimer: Don't own the Beyblade characters.

Summary: Takes place 6 months after the events in Journeys. Kai is trying to understand why his dreams are beginning to affect his life, and more importantly, what they have to do with Ray. I'm back, mwwhahahahah! Ehrm, sorry, just had a cup of coffee (more like ten) and argued with my buddy. What did we argue about? If there was a rematch between Kai and Ray who would win and who really were true rivals? As you can imagine my answeres were: Ray would win ofcourse(Kai couldn't hurt him again now could he.) and secondly Kai and Ray are the best rivals as they are so evenly matched. Well we left our hero(es if you count the other three) in a predicament. Here you go, I felt you deserved it as I did miss a whole week.

To those who reviewed, I'll give answers next week, enjoy this.

I'm sorry.

Why?

I'm sorry.

I don'tunderstand.

I'm sorry.

"Oh shit."

Not the most intelligent thing Kai had ever said, but one would understand if they were in his position.

Standing before him was the biggest wolf he had ever seen, and it had just spoken to them, at least he thought it had.

All eyes were pulled to the side as a young man stepped out from behind the huge creature, it was then that Kai say the necklace around his neck. It was glowing, he glanced back at the huge wolf as it turned and, after silently conversing with the other, disappeared. Kai shook his head and focused on the boy. He was reasonably good looking, nothing against Ray though. He had dark brown hair that hung just above the shoulders, two locks fell infront of his ears on either side of his face, brown eyes stared at each of them, trying to intimidate them. Kai felt anger rise. Something made him dislike the brown haired youngster.

" Not everything is what it seems."

Kai froze, what was happening! Why was he hearing Ray's voice in his head, telling him things.

"He's speaking to you. Isn't he." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Kai nodded. "How do you..." The other laughed." How do I know the whelp. Easy, his race was a plague upon this world. Everything was fine for my people, we were the strongest and all feared us, then the stupid, mangy flea ridden White Tiger clan had to interfere, now our clan is thought as medium. Damn them all." Kai almost leaped at him.' How dare he insult Ray!'

" Ever crossed your mind that you were pathetic from the start?" Kai turned in amazement as Kenny's voice trembled into existance. It was a good comment, bad delivery though. Kai turned back to the other, his 'you are way below my level kid' smirk in place. The other seemed to understand it and held up a blade and a launcher, Kai wanted to laugh. The other growled and turned to walk away. Max rushed slightly forward." What's your name?" Brown eyes focused on Kai." Kenji." Before anything could be said he was gone. Kai sighed, he looked to the sky, noting it had grown very dark. He looked to the others." Comeon lets make a camp." Three nods met his order.

Kai lay on his back, eyes beginning to gently close as the silence lulled him to sleep. The others had fallen asleep hours ago, he on the other and had been having trouble falling asleep but now he felt the fatigue and exhaustion working its way into his system and numbing it. Crimson was covered by a soft cloak of lashes and eyelids as Kai was pulled from the land of wakefulness to the land of sleep.

Kai looked about himself, there was no one there with him. He stood in the middle of the forest, no sounds filled the air, the silence seemed to be deafening. It occured to Kai that that statement didn't really make sense, he would work through it later. The hair on the back of his neck stood up and he slowly turned, body stiffening as a familiar being stood before him.

"Greetings weilder of the phoenix." Kai frowned then felt like slapping himself on the forehead.' Ofcourse, Dranzer. She's a phoenix.' The woman before him smiled." I wandered if you would recognise me, but it seems that you do even though you have never seen my human form." Kai shrugged. Calypsa was hard to forget, heck any tiger, or wolf for that matter, the size of a 4x4 was hard to forget. Speaking of that.

" Why am I here?" Calypsa chuckled." Such impatience, you are worse than Drigaro." Her face became serious at the mentioning of Ray. Kai watched emotions flitting across her face. Fear, worry and anger were dominating a range of other emotions that Kai didn't want to work out. The thought of Ray had already caused the old wounds to open. Calypsa seemed to pull out of her daze and sharp eyes focused on him." Come, I must show you something." Kai nodded and followed, he didn't know why but something said he had to. He followed her, his ears catching the sound of fighting. But who was fighting? He followed her around a clump of trees and came face to face with his worst nightmare. His heart clenched as one word flowed out, the same word he had uttered in a previous dream, and in this dream it had as much power as it had in the last.

"No."

None.

Heehee. Evil I am. Well there you go chap 5. We're about half way now...I think. I always saw Dranzer as being female, it may be that in many stories Dranzer is depicted as female. I know in the series they say Dranzer is a he, but I prefer it this way. sorry it was so short. Read, enjoy reveiw and make me one happy lassy...darn it! Stupid brother! Ahem. Night night.
