Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade… If only I did…
The door swung open and a blonde girl with sky-blue eyes and a cheerful smile bounded in. She was followed by a brunette with emotionless green eyes and a slight frown on her face.
Chapter 2:
"Hi!" the blonde greeted the Beybreakers with a grin. She wore a short, pink miniskirt and a white sweater over a midriff- baring light pink top. Her curly blonde hair reached slightly below her shoulders. "My name's Nami Iwate. I'm fifteen this year and my bitbeast is Sakeme, a water dragon." she cheerfully said.
"Hi! My name's Max, the blue- haired guy over there is Tyson, watch it, he can clear a whole ten- course dinner by himself-"
"Hey!" Tyson protested.
Laughing, Max continued, "That's Rei over there and the grey- eyed guy standing in that corner is Kai, who's also the captain of the Beybreakers and that's Hilary, who used to be the only girl on the team."
Throughout the whole introduction, the brunette had stood silently with her arms crossed.
Hilary went up to her and asked, "Hi, I'm Hilary, and you are…?"
"Tori, Tori Kanagawa." She replied in a flat, emotionless tone.
"Tori… That means bird right?" (A/N: I dunno if this is true- the translation services said that "Tori" means bird. If it's wrong, let me know please.)
Tori nodded. She seemed reluctant about disclosing any more information about herself.
She was wearing an ankle length black leather coat over a light blue T-shirt and dark blue jeans. She had bangs that slightly covered her left eye; the rest of her hair was tied back in a tight ponytail. She wore blue and gray sneakers and black finger-baring gloves that stopped at her wrists. Around her neck was a thin, silver chain with a small cross attached to it.
"OK, now that we've all been introduced can we please go for breakfast?" Tyson whined.
"I've already eaten. Say, how about I take the girls to the mall and we can meet back at Tyson's dojo later?" Hilary suggested.
"Sounds great, let's go!" Nami replied.
Tori shrugged and followed them out of Mr. D's office. Hilary and Nami had already started discussing what they were going to buy.
Half an hour later, at the mall……
Tori was sick and tired of the mall. Hilary and Nami had dragged her to shop after shop, trying to convince her to buy a dress.
"You'd look great in one." Hilary had insisted. But Tori had refused and now they were looking at swimwear.
Deciding that she had had more than enough shopping to last her a lifetime, Tori decided to go back to Tyson's dojo first and wait for the other two there.
Back at the dojo……
Tori reached the dojo and was surprised to find only Kai, who was practicing his beyblading, there.
"Where're the others?" She asked.
Without looking at her, Kai replied, "Tyson and Kenny are still at the restaurant. Max and Rei went to the park to challenge the bladers there."
Tori watched Kai for a while, before taking out her own Beyblade. She started cleaning it.
"Mr. Dickenson said that you two were good bladers." Kai suddenly remarked.
Tori shrugged. "I don't know about Nami but I guess I'm OK at blading."
"Good. I challenge you to a beybattle."
"You sure? Wouldn't want you to be embarrassed when you lose."
"Cocky. Prove that you can defeat me." Kai smirked.
A slight grin appeared on Tori's face. "You're on."
"3… 2…1… Let it rip!"
Two blades clashed and rebounded- one blue and green (A/N: Is this the colour of Kai's blade?), the other black and purple.
The two blades circled each other before clashing again.
"You're not so bad." Kai remarked. "Too bad you're going down now!"
Kai summoned Dranzer and commanded the phoenix to attack.
"Come on out Panthera!" Tori commanded.
A black panther slightly bigger than Driger with feral yellow eyes sprang out of the Beyblade. At its feet were purple flames and it had a purple collar set with rhinestones around its neck. It snarled at Dranzer and prepared to attack.
The two bitbeasts collided and parted neither coming off worse than the other.
"Dranzer, flame saber, now!"
"Dodge it Panthera!"
The black blade dodged Dranzer's flame saber with astounding speed.
"Panthera, black lightning!"
A ball of black energy appeared around Panthera. The energy was so intense that the air around it crackled, giving the appearance that it was about to burst into flames.
Panthera attacked Dranzer who met the charge head on and both blades flew back to their respective owners.
"Looks like it's a tie," Tori said, shrugging.
Kai nodded. Just at that moment, the rest of the Beybreakers, including Hilary and Nami, came back. Hilary and Tyson were arguing about something or another again…
"Hi Tori!" Max said. "How about we have a beybattle?"
"Sorry, I just had one with Kai." Tori replied.
"Really? Who won?" Max interestedly asked.
"It was a tie." Kai cut in.
"Cool! Not many people can hold their own against Kai! You must be quite a good beyblader!"
"I'm just average."
"Well, since she's proven herself, I guess it's my turn next!" Nami grinned, "I'll battle Tyson if it's alright with him."
"Bring it on! Just don't expect me to go easy on you!"
A/N: OMG! That sucks! I suck at writing hehheh. Anyways please review!
