-Begin Chapter Seven-

An Unexpected Visitor

Kai leaned back against the wall of the dojo, he let the sun warm him, he couldn't explain it, but he was extremely full of the shivers then. It was like he was getting the feeling that something bad was going to happen. He pulled the letter out of his pocket and read it again. He ran a hand through his hair.

I think you are well aware that Voltaire is planning world domination and wishes to use you

He really wasn't surprised at the fact, but he sighed, who the hell would want to warn him?

A friend

'A friend? Nope, my only so-called friends are right here. They wouldn't know.'

He sighed. He was confused, not something he liked to admit that much, but he had to now. He opened his eyes and stared up at the skies, trying to think. Kai continued with his quest to search out his answer, running a hand through his hair again.

"Hey, Kai. What's the matter?"

Kai blinked and stared at his team, unnerving-ly cold. "Hn."

"Come on, Kai. Something's bothering you."

Kai stared at them unblinkingly, sure he did, but why bother them, they couldn't help. "Hn."

"Something is on your mind."

Kai stared at Rei. "Hn." He smirked inwardly, he could play this game all day.

"Its about Voltaire, isn't it?"

This time Kai blinked several times before he caught himself and managed to stop. "Hn."

"Nice try, Kai. It is something about Voltaire."

"Why should you care?"

"We're your friends, Kai."

"Point being, Tyson?"

"What does Voltaire want with you now?"

"To take over the world I'm sure, and to get back at me for all the fan mail he probably gets addressed to myself."

"That all?"

"Maybe Black Dranzer's involved."

"Maybe?"

"I wouldn't know what goes on in Voltaire's mind, and I'm sure I don't want to."

"That's for sure Kai, you've been saying more today than you normally do in a week."

"Not a habit I wish to get into."

"Come on, it almost makes you seem human."

"Hn."

Kai got up from his position and started to leave, maybe a walk would help clear things up.

As Kai reached the door, he felt himself getting shoved to the ground. He started to stiffen, to stay up right, but it was too late, and he was knocked onto his back. He blinked a few times before he sat up, a death glare sent in the direction he though his attacker had gone, but to his surprise no one was there, just some bushes.

The others came around the side of the house.

"Kai we heard something fall. You okay?"

Kai wouldn't have had anytime to respond, even with a "Hn" for a group of boys appeared at the door. Kai stood up and stared at the group. A kid with brown hair walked forward.

"Have you seen a girl named Lily Hirotome around here?"

Kai nearly blinked but didn't, that name was familiar. Rei spoke before he could respond.

"Nope. Haven't seen anybody with that name around here."

"Darn it, we thought she had come in here."

"Apparently you were wrong."

"I guess. Later!"

The kid waved and ran off. Leaving everyone but Kai, who was starting towards the bushes he had glared at earlier, blinking, with dumb expressions.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Everyone turned towards Kai, who had by now reached about three feet from the bushes, staring at them, with his arm crossed.

"Kai...?"

Hillary never got to complete her question as a girl with long brown hair stood up from the bushes in front of Kai.

"Um...hiding. And sorry about knocking you over earlier. As for my name it's Lily Hirotome."

Rei stared at the girl. "You were here!"

The Lily gave a sheepish grin. "Eh...yeah. but glad you didn't know that. Those guys freak me out."

Hillary blinked. "They do?"

"Yeah...I'd rather not explain."

"Why not?"

"Hillary, she said she didn't want to say. Leave her alone for that."

Rei stared at Tyson. "Maybe we should introduce ourselves. I'm Rei Kon."

"Max Tate."

"Tyson Granger."

"Kenny - "

"Hillary Tatibana"

"Hn."

Tyson shook his head. "That is Kai Hiwatari our team captain."

"Not much of a talker, eh?"

"Hn"

Lily smirked. "Or you don't like to talk to losers who aren't perfect at BeyBlading."

"Hn."

"Or both."

"That's about right."

Lily smirked. 'Knew I could get you to speak.'

"You know how to blade?"

Lily turned her attention to Tyson.

"Eh, yeah, but I'm not the best. Besides, my blade broke in my last battle."

"Oh that really reeks. When should it be repaired?"

"Sometime."

"How about a battle?"

"eh...remember I don't have a blade?"

Lily was staring at Tyson flatly, with a look that said "you are a complete moron". Kenny

rearranged his glasses on his head before making a small cough.

"Actually that shouldn't be a problem, we have a spare blade you could use."

"Hn, whatever."

"Cool! Who do you want to face?"

Lily took the blue blade and launcher Kenny had offered her and clenched it in her hand. She stared about the lot of them and paused on Kai before leaning back slightly and pointing at him.

"Sir Quiet over there. I'd like to see if his blading skills are better than his social skills."

Kai stared at the girl in disbelief. "Whatever, just know I won't go easy on you."

Lily added to herself, 'nor will I.'

"There's a BeyDish in the back, you can battle there."

Lily nodded and followed Kai as he turned the rest of the group in tow.

Both stood on opposite ends of the dish and readied their blades. Hillary took the ref's place and raised her hand in the air. "Three!" "Two!" "One!" "LET IT RIP!"

The two blades were launched into the beydish. Two masses of blue hit each other. Lily stared the dish she had to come up with a strategy, if she didn't she was toast. The lighter blue blade she was using was bashed again, managing to stay in by mere inches, but it lost speed and started to wobble.

"Looks like you're finished."

With that Dranzer rammed into the blade once again, this time it was knocked out, but it landed on the ground still spinning, like it had been just launched.

"Woah, nothing should still be spinning after an attack like that..."

Kenny's voice trailed off in complete amazement. Kai had to admit he was surprised himself, it should be lying on the ground, not spinning, especially since it had been wobbling before. Though he'd never say that aloud, of course.

Lily walked over to her blade, smirking. "It all depends on how you handle your blade, but I believe you won, Kai." She picked up the borrowed blade and walked over to Kenny, handing them to him. "I have a meeting to go to, I'll drop by tomorrow, if that's not a problem."

"Shouldn't be."

Lily smirked and walked over to Kai, she held out her hand. "Good battle, mebbe I can try again, when my blade isn't broken."

"Hn." Even though Kai didn't say a word, he took the outstretched hand and shook it. Everyone stared in disbelief. Was this really Kai Hiwatari? Lily let go of the shake and left. Kai shook his head when people weren't looking, and then stared after her. "She's so familiar somehow."

-End Chapter Seven-
