Hey. I finally managed to make my alterations on my Fanfiction and start my
third chapter, um. Right now I need to remember what I was supposed to
write, oh yeah, I remember it now. Slightly, I didn't really plan this one
out. OK to my knowledge this is the day BEFORE they are supposed to
Beyblade and so they are in a lot of training. Well you can read it from
here. Oh yeah and I forgot something sorry.
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade, but I do own Lan and this story. Thank you for not suing and if you already have then damn you. If you wanna use Lan in ya Fanfiction (wouldn't know why but this is just a checking thingy) then just review me asking for permission, this is not an excuse to get reviews, I just don't want people emailing me cos there might be some freaky people here. (Poor Holly and Jessica, for those who don't know who they are then read the newspaper). So anyway just review me. Oops, that sounded rude. Uh sorry. Kai's taking over me.
YAY! NEW EPISODES OF BEYBLADE COMING SOON ON CARTOON NETWORK YAY! BUT I Don't KNOW WHEN! LAL LALALALAH! SOMETHING ABOUT NIGHTMARES COMING TRUE WEEEE!!!! AND IN THE ADVERT KAI'S BEING COOL! YAY! SO IS RAY! YAY!
Disclaimer for the last two stories: I do not own Beyblade, but I do own Lan and this story so meh and no suing allowed.
Oh yeah and I've just realized, this is a little similar to Ray dilemma that his old team mates think he abandoned them. oopps. But Max had his mom dilemma, Ray had his gang dilemma and Kai has his own group too. The only thing that's different is that there are more people in Kai' old gang than there was in Ray's and one of Kai's team members don't fancy Kai to bits. Cough stinking Mariah cough.
Oh yeah and Kai doesn't fancy him back, Kai is NOT gay. That's for you people who like to write yaoi stories with Ray and Kai. Ewww. I haven't read any but I've heard there are some out there. So any way onz wizza zstorie! (On with the story)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lan was sleeping peacefully all warm and comfortable in bed, enjoying her sleep and comfort with a soft pillow under her head and a warm thick duvet covering her making her warm when suddenly she was woken up with a bright, BRIGHT light shining into her eyes.
"Ehhhhhhhhhh?" She moaned and then shut her eyes tight and turned around with her back to the light and head under the blanket. "Meeeeeeehhhhhhhh" She groaned. She could hear the others moaning and groaning as well, but then she could also hear someone's strict barking voice ordering them to wake up.
"Come on you lazy brats, wake up! We've got a lot of training to do!" Everyone recognised the voice belonging to Kai-always-has-too-wake-up- first.
"Whaaaaaaa go away Kai I wanna sweep!" Moaned Lan. Trying to block the horrible light emitting from the drawn curtains away by burying herself deeper into the depths of her warm and comfortable bed. But soon she felt the shock and agony of her thick warm duvet being rudely pulled of her body making a cold streak run up all over her.
She moaned out aloud glowered at the person who dared to commit such a crime of taking her blanket away and then punched Kai in the stomach winding him real bad making him take a few steps backwards in pain,
"Ooof,"
Kai moaned in agony, clutching his stomach from the pain, he wished her never touched Lan's blanket, {Oi, I hate Lan in the mornings, OW that really hurt, how did she get so strong? Ohhhhh} Kai thought. And he slowly got up still winded and hunched over and decided to shake Ray awake, it would be safer and les painful.
It was a bright and lovely morning, but it wasn't to the rest of the Blade Breakers. They all wanted to sleep but Kai kept on irritating them by making them wake up. Ray had finally got out of bed but then slumped forward still sleepy onto Lan's bed falling heavily onto her legs. Kai could hear a faint and tired and muffled 'ow,' from under the blankets. It was certainly a dreary morning for the sleepy.
Ray heaved himself from the bed a few centimetres then collapsed back down again having no concern of the person under him. Kai grabbed Ray from the collar of his nightshirt and heaved him into the bathroom and then slamming the door shut.
He then went over to Tyson's bed and thought it was a more dangerous area than Lan's so he went to Max, who gratefully was already at least half- awake and rubbing his eyes yawning. Max started to mumble gibberish, it didn't seem like English but Kai assumed it was but didn't give a damn about it.
So he went over to Kenny and shook him awake. Now it was time to wake up the hard people. Lan was usually the second last to wake up. Tyson the last of course.
Kai made his way toward the deathbed, which was Lan's bed. He gently touched the lump that was Lan and then gently shook it, he didn't want to be winded again, he was still recovering from the last and many past punches in the stomach, once in the groin, Kai dearly wished he didn't insult Lan's fighting technique, there was nothing wrong with it, Kai just tried to make fun of Lan as she kept on making fun of him. He dearly paid for opening his big mouth.
He started to shake Lan a bit harder; he knew he would never rip the blanket off of her again while she's in a good mood or a bad mood. Slowly shielding any fragile and sensitive areas, he bent over Lan and peeled the duvet slowly from her face, when light came shining into her eyes she moaned again and tried to shake Kai off so she could sleep.
"Come on Lan. You've got to wake up, every else has."
"Has Tyson?" Lan mumbled stubbornly.
"Erm. Yes" a lie detector somewhere blew up.
"Liar" And Lan tried to bury her face again, right now she didn't care whether she cared deeply for the boy who was trying to wake her up, she needed sleep, and she would even hate her own mother for disturbing her nice sleep.
"Whaa Kai!"
"Lan! Please wake up! For me?" Kai started to plead. {All this for a girl} he thought bitterly.
"No." She said promptly. Kai let out a groan. Then he had an idea.
"Lan."
"What."
"You're acting like Tyson. Am I going to have to put a chilli pepper in your mouth?"
"I'm up," Lan said hastily. It wasn't the chilli pepper remark, it was the Tyson remark. Also, she didn't want to be like Tyson and have a chilli pepper in her mouth. Lan got out of the duvet and yawned. Kai finally smiled that he got one anti-morning person to wake up. He gently patted Lan on the shoulder and at the same time Ray stumbled out of the bathroom and Max quickly rushed in before Kenny had a chance to. Seeing this Lan quickly jumped into the bed again making Kai groan.
"Lan I thought you were going to wake up!"
"I'll get out into the coldness and boringness of life when the bathroom is vacant." Lan yelled stubbornly. Kai let out a deep sigh and Ray chuckled. Kai looked over to Ray and said.
"You wake Tyson up, I'm all worn out from trying to wake this one up." Then he slumped onto the lump that was Lan.
Ray laughed again and went towards Tyson to try and do the near impossible and wake the sleeping dragon without getting him mad.
Kai was resting on top of the blanket that Lan was under and then he heard a soft muffled voice say some thing that sounded like 'lorry'
"Huh?" Said Kai looking at the smaller lump that was Lan's head.
"Lorry" She said again.
"Lorry?" Lan pulled her head from under the cover
"I said sorry you dumb ass. Lorry? Where did that come from?"
"Well sorry. But I couldn't hear you and what are you sorry for?" Lan smiled and bumped her head on Kai's softly. "For causing you hell when trying to wake me up." Lan was talking loudly enough for only for Kai to hear.
"Well you better be sorry. I hate waking you up, you're such a monster in the mornings. And by the way that punch hurt."
"Awwwwww I thought the big tough street rebel never gets hurt. Wimp." She mumbled. Kai was about to open his mouth and say something but thought it was best not to argue, especially now that Lan had apologised and now was snuggling into his chest wanting to go to sleep again and her fist was very near his still wounded stomach. "By the way," Lan said, "thanks for the compliment, you red-eyed, blue-haired Dracula."
"Hey my eyes are not red, they're just brownish. red. And you are a monster in the mornings and enough about my hair."
"Well rah-rah-rah to you then" At that moment the bathroom door unlocked and Max came out body refreshed but face still sleepy. "
Come on Lan, in you go." Kai said giving her a little push.
"Carry me!"
"What?!"
"Carry me!" Lan put on the voice of a baby.
"Carry . . . What? No way!"
"Whaa, Whaa."
Kai knew . . . hoped Lan was joking.
"Lan you're not a baby now get up . . . You ARE joking aren't you?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm joking, geez. And as if you can carry me wimp, can't take a joke." She started mumbling and she went into the bathroom shutting the door into Kenny's face just as he was going to go into the bathroom.
Kai shook his head in disbelief; Lan could really act like a baby who grew up too fast. Meanwhile Ray was STILL trying to wake Tyson up.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!" Screamed Tyson. "C'mon! Just lemme wait till the bathroom is free k?"
"UGGH!" Moaned Ray, "fine, fine, do what you like! Uh!" And Ray slumped onto his own bed with his hands on his face. Kenny was sitting on the floor with his arms crossed next to the bathroom door with a grumpy look on his face wanting to go into the bathroom, as it was the second time he failed to go in.
Kai looked around the room and all he could see was the near end of chaos and havoc.
!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!
Soon. Or should I say much later. After everyone was changed and was done in the bathroom and had breakfast and done all the other morning stuff, the Bladebreakers, Lan and Mr. Dickinson set out of their hotel towards Regents Park where they could practise their Beyblading. When they got there Tyson saw the fountain (I think there is one. I dunno, never been to Regents Park) and started fooling around yelling,
"I wanna play with the duckies!" And there were no 'duckies' just pigeons cooing around the fountain eating leftover breadcrumbs from the people who left some there for the birds.
"Tyson. There is no time to play with imaginary ducks! Come on we've got to train!"
"Awwwww come on Kai! Have some fun once in your life and stop being so crabby!" Grunting in dis-satisfaction that Tyson didn't listen to him he turned his back to Tyson with the others following scared that Kai might yell at them too.
Just as Tyson was about to head over to the fountain Lan grabbed him by the shirt collar and shook him angrily.
"Tyson, why can't you just take a break and leave Kai in some peace and just do as he says? You can be your annoying preppy self at home! This is a time for all your concentration and focus! Do you want to lose this tournament?" She hissed at him.
"Gees Lan of course I don't. I just don't see why Kai can't just see the fun in life and Beyblading and stop being such a wet blanket! And besides, what do you care about Beyblading? You don't even do it!"
"The reason why I care is because Kai has to count on a procrastinating numbskull like you to keep his title as Champion!" She hissed at him again, not literally, of course, Lan is not a swan or a goose or a cat, "if you don't help your team to win this tournament then all the hard work we've been through will be wasted! All because of you Tyson!"
"Come on Lan! Have you ever seen me lose a battle? No sweat!" Lan was just about to object but Tyson slipped away from her grip and ran towards the others. Sighing Lan followed him but not in his hyperactive way. Lan was starting to think about all their close calls they had when battling.
She started to worry if Kai would lose his title if he doesn't play in the tournament and is only a substitute when he's team leader and an undefeated champion, how he became a substitute was anyone's guess, not even Kai knew why. If Kai were there instead of maybe Max then they would win no problem, looking at al the times when Ray and Max lost and when Kai won, was really un-nerving that Kai doesn't battle and the others do.
Lan and Mr. Dickinson sat on a bench and watched as the others trained. A couple of squirrels came by near Lan and she gave them some of the peanuts Mr. Dickinson had. Soon she had about four or five squirrels and chipmunks by her feet eating the nuts she gave them.
Lan just hoped they didn't have rabies, especially when the first squirrel came up to her and started cleaning itself on her shoulder, she also hoped that they were toilet-trained.
"Hehehe. You certainly have a way with nature Lan." Mr. Dickinson chuckled heartedly looking at the little mammals around Lan's feet.
"Er. Yeah, gees, all this commotion for nuts? Hah, but they're cute though." And she fed the one sitting on her shoulder a nut.
As they were enjoying themselves (the people and animals on the bench) their peace was disturbed by something whizzing towards Lan's head, Lan caught it with quick reactions with her hand but the sudden movement and the flying thing had scared all the squirrels and chipmunks away. Lan looked at the thing that almost gave her a dent in her head and found it was a Beyblade. Tyson's Beyblade.
"Tyson!" Lan yelled angrily, "What do you think you're trying to do? Kill me?" And she threw Tyson's Beyblade into his outstretched hand.
"Uh. Sorry Lan, it wasn't my fault, it got hit by Kai's blade and then it knocked it out of the tree stump and it er . . . flew." Lan saw Kai pick up his spinning blade and then look at Lan with a VERY small look of concern but inside he was dead worried about Lan and was sorry. Somehow, Lan saw this, Kai's feelings on the inside. Her frown disappeared but then she looked at Tyson and her temper started to rise again.
"You scared away all those squirrels! And you almost hit me in the eye! You've got to be more careful Tyson and train harder so that your blade wont fly so far out of the dish, you should learn how to only have a small defeat knowing that your opponent didn't give you such a hard hit because you would have given a small bit of damage back as your blade would have a power almost matching your opponents so you wouldn't have such a big and unworthy defeat!" And after that she stormed not back to the bench but up a tall tree. She climbed up not too high but high enough to get away from danger. Tyson just stood there a little confused; he wasn't sure what Lan just yelled out made any sense.
Kai looked up at the tree where Lan was sitting on with worry in his eyes. "Lan's right Tyson, what she means is, is that you've got to become stronger."
"Well she could have just said that instead of all the mumbo jumbo." Muttered Tyson stubbornly. But he felt bad that he could have almost made Lan go to the hospital, it was good she had quick reflexes. Although they did seem a little too quick for comfort.
Lan was up in the tree with her legs swinging off the branch she was resting on. Checking that the branch was stable and it wouldn't crack under her weight she relaxed a little, she knew it wasn't really Tyson's fault, it wasn't any body's, she just tried to find a way to tell of Tyson, it was true in a way, Tyson shouldn't be so weak against Kai, that would never help him against the Blade Sharks.
As Lan tried to do a bit of meditation to train her mind as she couldn't train her body to get stronger, but the bough was too woody and uncomfortable and there was a sharp bit of bark sticking into her backside. So she took off her black vest, stood up carefully, placed her black top onto the branch then settled back again. It sort of helped, it wasn't so prickly but it was still uncomfortable but Lan decided to live with it, as it was her own fault she became so hot tempered and climbed up into that tree.
She soon started clearing her mind and then filled it with nothing but Martial Arts and her concentration on what she loved best; fighting.
(By the way, when I mean meditating I don't mean all the HUMMMMMMM business, and the Rafiki position, crossed legs on top of each other and hands with the thumb and forefinger together, no, not that, just sitting down and thinking and concentrating on something very hard and not let anything disturb you and Lan was thinking about fighting so she had imagine herself sparring with the air, sharpening her thoughts, reflexes, agility and strength).
During the Beybladers' training, all Kai could think of was the Blade Sharks, if he would really be able to defeat them with this lot. They had let him down before but only slightly, all he wanted from them right now was their full concentration and will to fight and win. Now it was for two reasons, not to embarrass him in front of his old teammates and to keep his Title. Also, so he didn't want to let Lan down, but that wasn't so important, not to Kai anyway.
He knew anyway, now, that Lan wouldn't care if they lost, because she'd just kick all the crap out of the Blade Sharks any way for winning. But they couldn't win, not ever. Kai realized that if his old teammates now hated him, that would mean that Kai would be stuck with this brat pack after the World Tournament and he wouldn't be able to go back to the Blade Sharks.
{Great.} thought Kai sarcastically.
After a long day of Training and meditating and sitting and watching at the same time, the Bladebreakers company went off home, uh I mean to the hotel. Kai was wondering why Lan was so deaf when she was sitting in that tree, when they called her to come down she didn't answer, until Ray had to climb up the tree and give Lan a little shake almost making her fall out the tree, Ray said that Lan looked as if she was in a daze when she got jerked awake by Ray.
They all thought Lan was asleep but thought it was a bit of a weird and uncomfortable place to sleep, but Lan was really meditating but she didn't tell the others that thinking that she was a hippy in disguise.
(OK I think I might be insulting some people in this Fanfiction so I apologise if I have, if not then ignore me).
When they reached the hotel it was six o' clock at night and they said goodbye and goodnight to Mr. Dickinson and he wished them luck for tomorrows match. When they went into their room they each took turns in taking a shower and relaxed on their beds chatting and talking about today and beyblades. Lan had to apologise to Tyson for being mean as the guilt was killing her, but she accidentally said it in a very sarcastic way so Tyson wasn't really convinced.
Her and Ray sat on Lan's bed again and started talking like the night before. This time about um. I dunno, I'll leave you to your imagination, I can't think of a subject right now. Any way, Ray and Lan were talking and Kenny was showing Tyson some stuff he found out about their beyblades in the park today but didn't have any time to tell them then so he started telling them now. Kai however was not in the talkative mood, he was being extra grumpy at the moment, his mind kept on going towards the Blade Sharks, they didn't know whom they'd be battling first.
Kai hoped it wasn't the Blade Sharks, he wanted to eliminate them in the finals and..
Kai couldn't think with all that noise going on. Ray and Lan were talking and Kai was starting to be afraid that they were getting a bit too cosy together and he couldn't stand the jealously around him, he was never jealous over any one, he couldn't stand this new feeling. And Tyson and Kenny and Max talking so loudly, well Tyson was, about improving Beyblading and Kenny's tactics about winning, it was a little daft Kai thought, they didn't even know who'd they be playing next and what if their tactics wouldn't even work because they're all wrong.
Kai thought he heard Kenny say something about Kai playing in one of the matches, and they were talking about that Kai was experienced and that despite his rudeness, he was a compatible beyblader.
Kai grunted, he didn't know whether he even wanted to bother to battle, but if it was for the sake of his Title, he figured that he would need to play. This was something that Kai would need to think about too, right now his head was too full of thoughts and it was confusing Kai and giving him a headache.
He needed to get away to some quiet so he could think freely. He looked over at Lan and Ray and felt a pang of anger that Lan had started to play around with Ray's long, long, long, thin, thin, ponytail, laughing. Kai had to leave, he couldn't take any more of this.
Max was becoming a little bored of Kenny and Tyson's talk about whether they should let Kai in and battle, Tyson was objecting the idea and all they were doing right now was arguing. So Max decided to see what Ray and Lan were talking about. No one noticed the door open and shut quietly with a flick of a white scarf whip around the corner of the closing door.
Not even Lan noticed. Kai knew she didn't notice, and frankly, he was a little hurt, but refused to let himself know it or accept it.
"Awwww! Ray your ponytail is so cute! So it's tradition for you to have a long ponytail because you're Chinese?"
"Yup, heh, I'm glad you like it." Ray started to blush slightly as Lan playfully tugged it and fooled around with the long hair wrapped around with white cloth.
"Yeah, your ponytail is pretty cool Ray" Added Max brightly. As Lan felt the silky-ness of the tip of Ray's ponytail they all started talking about something again I can't think of.
It was a while before Lan realized someone was missing from the room. "Hey, where's Kai?" She asked worriedly.
"Gee, I dunno, I thought he was here just a moment ago." Said Ray looking around the Kai-less room.
"Hey I thought I heard the door shut but I thought it was me or something." Max said looking around too.
"I wonder where he is, why would he just leave?" Lan said twiddling Ray's ponytail in her fingers trying to think.
"Hey Lan." Ray said touching her on the shoulder making her look up, before when they had first met, Lan admitted to herself that she had a small crush on Ray, not a major crush, she just thought he was kind of cute and a really hardcore Beyblader especially after the match he and Tyson had, but then she thought him a wimp when he just gave up the match not finishing it letting Tyson win.
When Ray joined the team Lan thought she had some small feelings for Ray and whenever Kai insulted him she hit Kai. Ray also felt something for Lan, blushing slightly when they talked but when they realized that there were other people they cared for, that person was more important than each other, so they decided in their minds to be friends. Never actually saying any thing to each other but they both saw it in each other.
Ray leaned over and hugged Lan whispering so Max wouldn't hear to go get Kai, it wouldn't matter to him and that he's more important. So Lan smiled and hugged him back with thanks. She playfully patted Max's thick blonde hair with a smile on her face and jumped off the bed.
She was about to make her way to wards the door when she changed her mind and ran towards the cupboard and got a soft thick big blanket out from the cupboard and went out the door.
"Where did she go?" Asked a very confused Max
"To go and find Kai," answered Ray.
"Does she know where he is?"
"Um . . . maybe, I dunno." And the two carried on talking.
Lan didn't know whether where she thought Kai would be was yielded to the hotel customers. But it never hurt to try. Pressing the button calling the elevator to come she waited patiently, when the lift came she was grateful that no one was in there as she didn't want to look like a suspicious teenager.
(I'm guessing Kai, Ray and Lan are 14 and the others are 13 Tyson is definitely 13 because of one of the episodes title "thirteen candles" and I'm guessing Kai is older because he called Tyson "kid")
Making her way to the top floor she was glad that nobody, strangely enough, came into the lift. When she reached the top floor she ran around trying to find the door.
!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!
Kai was on the roof of the Russell Hotel they were staying at. He looked over London city and saw the sun was almost down and the lights were slowly coming on. Kai was sitting down in his usual position, he was sitting on the very edge of the building with his left leg swinging off the side and his right leg's knee bent so his foot was on the edge of the building next to his backside with his leg bent with his right arm on top of his hitched up leg and his left arm stuck out on the building giving him support.
(Its hard to describe his position but think of the episode when he asked his blade shark companions to attack his blade but then all the other blades except for Kai's flew out the dish, his position is like that, when he was sitting on those boxes or what ever, can't remember.)
Kai could finally think by himself without the noise of instant chatter. Sure there were the cars below him but they were bearable. His room was not.
Kai started to relax swinging his leg over the side. It would look as if he was about to commit suicide, sitting right on the edge. It was starting to get a little cold, Kai wished he had taken a jacket with him or something England was a cold country. Especially at night.
Kai's scarf only kept his neck warm but his arms were freezing, he was glad he wore thick baggy trousers that kept him warm, not great in the summer but he had an air con, also he could always change into. shorts. Kai didn't like shorts, he preferred long trousers, he was glad he wasn't wearing shorts right now, but his tight black top didn't do him any good right now. Japan was much warmer than this, less wet as well.
Kai shook his head trying to rid his thoughts about fashion and decided to think about something more important and less pointless.
Kai started to relax again despite the cold and stare out to the city, he thought he heard something but guessed it was just one of the car doors slamming below him.
Kai started to wander about his problems casually while looking at the world around him but not taking anything in, he was too busy thinking.
Suddenly Kai felt a fury something around his shoulders and then a voice speaking making him almost fall off the building plunging towards his death, but then the thing that almost killed him also saved him with a small gasp but then the something behind him seemed to relax.
"I said aren't you cold?"
Kai thought the voice was familiar, he looked down and saw a blanket over him and he turned around sharply seeing the smiling face of Lan.
"Lan?" Kai said breathlessly thinking {what the heck? She almost killed me!}
"Yeah it's me. Did I scare you?" And she wrapped the blanket around Kai's shoulders more tightly and hugged him just as tight.
"Scare me? No of course not, I don't get scared." Another lie.
"Well?"
"Well what?" He asked as Lan climbed over and sat down next to him.
"Aren't you cold?"
"No." The amount of lies Kai has said he should win an award for the dumbest lies ever spoken.
"Are you sure?" Lan said in a small soft voice, she put her arm around Kai not believing a word he said.
"What are you doing here? I mean, how did you find me?"
"I guessed you needed too be alone for a while and for some reason I figured you'd be on the roof and I guess I was right huh?" She gave him another small smile. "I don't know it was only a wild guess."
She came closer to Kai, Kai was scared that if he might start edging away from Lan then he'd edge closer to the corner of the building and fall down to the cars zooming below him and die a very painful death.
"If you figured I needed to be alone, why did you come up here?" Kai said.
"Well, I thought you could use a little company, I don't want you to be a loner."
(KBA: Snigger, in the real Beyblade he is a loner, Awwww poor Kai. Snigger).
"Also you didn't have to be so rude about it." She frowned slightly at Kai. "Any way, why don't we take a little walk, you know to get you warmed up, you seem cold." Lan said feeling Kai's arms then getting up. Kai was glad she was going to lead them away from possible danger.
"Um . . . OK." They both got up and Kai wrapped the blanket around the both of them, Lan was only wearing a t-shirt and trousers that ended by her shins and he feared that Lan might get cold as she gave the entire blanket to Kai. As Kai put his arm around her with the blanket Lan smiled and cuddled up close to Kai's chest and they started walking.
"So. What have you been thinking about? All alone up here."
"Nothing much. It doesn't matter." That was yet another lie.
"Hmmm." Of course Lan didn't believe him but she decided he didn't want to talk about it so she didn't persist any further.
As they walked around the roof a couple of times careful to avoid any obstacles that came through their way they soon settle down again on the edge of the hotel. Kai wrapped his arm around Lan tighter making sure she wouldn't be cold, Lan was quite happy with Kai's strange caring behaviour, she wondered if he had been taken over by Pod People while he was up there alone.
Lan shuffled closer to Kai and surprisingly Kai leaned his head on Lan's shoulder. She gently kissed his head and then looked in front of her. Lan let out a soft gasp at what she saw. "Kai, Kai!"
"What," Kai didn't want to move; he was starting to become comfortable.
"Look." Kai peered over from Lan's shoulder and saw to what Lan thought was a beautiful sight; the sunset. Kai looked up at Lan and she had a happy smile on her face as she saw the deep colours of the sun that didn't make you blind if you looked at it.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Breathed Lan.
"I guess." Kai said with not much enthusiasm, he wasn't really in to sunsets. Wanting to go back and rest on her shoulder but Kai felt Lan shuffling around, she rested her head on Kai's head and moved his arm to wrap around her waist instead of her shoulder and she took hold of the corner of the blanket instead of Kai.
Wrapping it around themselves they both watched as the sun set and both felt warm in each other's company. None of them wanted the moment to end. Lan wondered why Kai was being so friendly but she didn't bother to ask him not wanting to ruin the moment.
Lan suddenly remembered something she had wanted to ask Kai for a while but didn't think it was a good idea. She looked into his face with the orange tinge around him and she wanted Kai to have that peaceful look all the time instead of his usual grumpy-ness. "Kai." Lan dared to speak.
"Hmmm?" Kai didn't want to talk, just rest with Lan while he thought about his problems. Now Lan had spoken, she needed to say what she wanted to say, but she just didn't know how to put it in words. She was scared that Kai might start to hate her afterwards.
"Um, Kai, I was wondering."
"Hmmm."
"You know our relationship has become quite strong already."
{Damn}
Kai now knew what Lan was going to say, he just hoped that he was jumping to conclusions and she was going to say something different.
"Uh . . ." He moaned inside as he moved to face Lan, she had a look of fear and hope on her face, Kai felt sorry for her.
"Do you think we should start going out with each other? Kai?" Kai guessed right.
"Lan . . ." He couldn't finish; he didn't know what to say. Should he reject her? But he felt . . . He didn't know what he felt. He needed more time, but he thought that all the time in the world would never solve this problem.
"Lan, I know we've been close, but I don't know. What would the others say?"
Lan knew Kai would have some words of objection but she didn't know some of them would be 'what would the others say'
"Wha . . . Huh?"
"Err, well you know Tyson keeps on blabbing about us um. going out with each other, well what if he says it again but instead of us saying we're not, we're gonna have to say we are, and . . ."
"They don't need to know, I mean come on Kai, we practically act as if we're already going out with each other, and I just want to know if you want to confirm it. Or not."
"I know but the thought, I . . . Don't know."
"It's OK Kai, if you don't want to then its OK; I just wanted to know if you wanted to confirm it. I guess you don't." Lan actually looked upset and rejected, Kai held her closer,
"I'm sorry,"
"Me too . . . Wait . . . Did you just use the word sorry?"
"Um . . . yeah" Kai said slowly, "why?"
"Oh nothing, it just that, I never expected those words to ever come out of your mouth. That's all"
"Gee thanks" Lan grinned at him and snuggled into the blue part of Kai's hair again making him feel warm and fuzzy and then kissed his cheek affectionately. Kai did feel sorry Lan; he didn't know if he wanted to confirm it, it just felt weird to say or think Lan and Kai Boyfriend and Girlfriend, Kai guessed it was the words Boyfriend and Girlfriend that made him uncertain.
He didn't tell Lan that in case she thought he was a bit of a freak. Lan couldn't understand why he wouldn't want them to confirm it; they were already very affectionate to each other, and it wouldn't make a difference. Lan couldn't deny that she was upset but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, it just wasn't her.
Kai and Lan stayed like that for a while wrapped up in a blanket together, Kai started to think again and Lan just sat there enjoying Kai's company. Soon the atmosphere around them began to sprout that word they both hated: love. The wind suddenly blew hard on their faces ruffling their hair, especially Lan's as it was shoulder length.
They shuffled even closer together trying to avoid the cold wind, Kai brushed the hair out of Lan's eyes and face, while holding on to her tightly, as he brushed her hair out of the way he was stroking her at the same time, which made them both blush, as they sat up straight hugging each other and when the wind died down and Kai brushed the rest of Lan's flyaway hair revealing her fair face, their eyes met and locked together.
Soon their heads inched towards each other slowly, this was like the time when Kai kissed Lan in bed but this time, they were on a roof, Lan was awake and Kai wasn't so scared any more. As they came nearer and nearer each other Kai moved his fingers cupping his hand under Lan's chin and then he quickened their pace and drew Lan into his lips. Kai started to stroke Lan's billowing hair while Lan ran her fingers through Kai's hair.
Night time was coming and they were silhouetted against the night's sky with their shadows mimicking their embrace. This kiss was longer than the last one, when they paused for a breath their lips brushed against each other still while panting for some air, as Lan sucked Kai's top lip quickly and staccato like Kai pressed down again and embraced them again in a passionate kiss.
They didn't bother going into all that movie stuff when they start kissing each other's neck, I aint gonna write about that. Although as Kai wrapped his arms around Lan's body he held her tightly but not so tight it would hurt her, Lan drew her hands around his neck and deepened the kiss a little more.
As they drew for breath again they gave each other quick short kisses and gazed into each other's eyes again and they both smiled at each other and kissed again. Kai couldn't believe himself and Lan couldn't believe him. As the wind riled up their hair again as they kissed and both let out a little moan of happiness. As fireworks flew that night it was suddenly disrupted as they both heard a noise from the entrance door.
They both turned sharply towards the door breaking their kiss and Kai swore in his head that he'd kill the person who came through that door. They had to quickly let go of each other with as pang of unhappiness as they looked at each other again, as they looked away again and stared at the door still close to each other sot they could stay warm, the door opened and out came . . . Ray.
"Ray?!" Both of them said in unison, they had both expected the Janitor or something about to yell at them for breaking on to the roof without permission but they didn't expect smiling Ray stumbling out of the doorway.
"Hey guys! I aint disturbing any thing here am I?" As he looked at the two wrapped up together in the blanket.
"No. Not much" Said Lan, there was a little menace in the tone of her voice, Ray however didn't notice.
"What are you doing here Ray" Kai said rudely and a little menacing way as well.
"Well, you two've been up here for ages and the room service came and your dinner is getting cold and I was just worried about you guys."
The first two reasons why Ray was up there disturbing their probably once in a life time moment because of Kai's stubbornness was some of the most pointless reasons ever been told, but when he said that he cared for them Lan's heart softened a little, Kai's didn't though.
"Listen Ray I don't care, I'm not hungry and I still need to think more about the Blade Sharks. Just go away." Kai said in one of his rudest tones ever.
Suddenly they heard a low rumble coming from Lan's stomach.
"Er. I guess I'm kinda hungry, heh." Lan said sweat dropping anime style. It seemed that Lan would be going down with Ray to eat some food. Kai looked disappointed.
"Hey, Lan's hungry, c'mon Kai you cant live without food!"
"I am not hungry." This time Kai was not lying.
"Hmmm." Ray sat down next to Lan thinking it would be safer to sit next to her as they were sitting right on the edge of a building and one slip of Kai's hand would send him falling.
"Lan, do you want to come down?" Ray asked.
"Um." Lan looked at Kai and he turned away.
"You can go Lan, I don't need you anymore." Liar, liar pants on fire said.
"Ray, I think I'll stay here for about fifteen more minutes ok? I'll be down soon I just need to make sure Kai's alright"
"Um. OK I'll see you later Lan." Ray didn't know why she didn't just say are you all right then get an answer and then go. For some reason Ray just felt like he needed to talk to someone more interesting than Tyson or Max, he had already talked to Max for a long time and now Ray wanted to know more about Lan, Ray just felt in a talkative mood today.
So Rat got up and then waved goodbye with a flick of his hand and then disappeared into the doorway.
"You stayed." Kai said just after Ray was out of earshot.
"Yeah, so? I wanted to stay with you, remember what I said; I'm never going to leave your side no matter what." And that was that. She snuggled into Kai's chest again, reached up and kissed him on the cheek and then moved to his ear. She was going to say something but decided not to.
Kai moved his head so they were face to face again and he gave Lan a small kiss on the lips smiled slightly wrapped his arms around her again and then kissed more deeply and passionately than before. Lan rubbed noses with her companion and then kissed him again.
They did that for the fifteen minutes Lan said she'd stay up there for. She slowly unravelled the blanket off of her and wrapped it around Kai while still caring for him, when she wrapped the blanket around his shoulders she whispered "you keep the blanket, oh yeah and Kai." She said while kissing him on the cheek.
"What?" He asked kissing her back.
"I love you." Kai shot his eyes open but Lan had already given him a quick kiss on the cheek and was already making her way back to the inside of the hotel without giving Kai a chance to respond. Lan's movement was as quick as lightning and when Kai saw her disappear behind the door he felt a shock going through his body, he now was full of emotion but still managed to have the look of total surprise on his face.
He thought back on what he had just experienced. He did something no body would have believed, and he didn't think he believed it himself but knew it was true. He let his emotions out and his pride and honour seemed to have disappeared somewhere.
He hoped he hadn't gone soft, and if he had, then the Blade Sharks were right, he had turned soft because of that girl. He couldn't think now. He just sat there as still as a statue, with no thoughts in his mind what so ever.
*Inside the hotel*
Lan was sitting on her bed and had just finished her dinner. When she put the plate aside she looked over at Kai's empty bed. Before she knew it Ray had tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hiya, can I sit down?"
"Oh sure." And she made some room for Ray who had taken his bandana off and it was next to Lan's and he was in his nightclothes, a white t-shirt and black shorts.
(Its true, he has them, I saw them my self in the episode the race is on, I think it's that anyway.)
Lan was already set for bed; she was just waiting for Kai. As Lan and Ray started talking again and Lan fiddled around with Ray's ponytail, everyone else started getting ready for bed or was fighting over the bathroom. Lan still thought that Ray was very cute, in an adorable way and in a fit way, but mostly in the adorable way, she already had feeling for someone else.
She liked to play with Ray's things, his hair, bandana, beyblade, shoes and that's bout it. Lan really liked Ray's Ying Yang clothes, she thought they were cool.
Soon everybody was getting tired and Kai was still not back. Ray said goodnight to Lan and advised her not to stay up so late or we'll never be able to wake her up in the morning. As everyone settled into bed, and turned the lights off, Lan walked over to Kai's bed and sat on it. She lay down and felt the softness of his pillow and breathed in his scent.
Soon Lan fell asleep herself and didn't realize the door opening and then closing and then the quiet shuffling around. Kai had returned at eleven thirty at night and was getting ready to go to sleep.
Kai was about to get into bed but was surprised to see Lan sleeping on his bed without a blanket on. He climbed in next to her, his eyelids already drooping and he woke her up.
"Kai?" Lan whispered sleepily. "That you?"
"Yeah, don't worry, go to sleep." He kissed her on the forehead. Lan rested down forgetting she wasn't in her own bed. Kai decided to carry on re- living history based on that night they kissed for the first time in that hotel months ago and slept in the same bed.
He pulled the duvet from underneath Lan's body and then climbed into bed with Lan and covered the duvet over them both. Lan snuggled into Kai sleepily and Kai whispered slowly before she went to sleep,
"I think I love you too." He kissed her lightly, put his arm around he hugged her and then settled to sleep not caring what the others would think the next morning when they woke.

Disclaimer for the last two stories: I do not own Beyblade, but I do own Lan and this story so meh and no suing allowed.
Oh yeah and I've just realized, this is a little similar to Ray dilemma that his old team mates think he abandoned them. oopps. But Max had his mom dilemma, Ray had his gang dilemma and Kai has his own group too. The only thing that's different is that there are more people in Kai' old gang than there was in Ray's and one of Kai's team members don't fancy Kai to bits. Cough stinking Mariah cough.
Oh yeah and Kai doesn't fancy him back, Kai is NOT gay. That's for you people who like to write yaoi stories with Ray and Kai. Ewww. I haven't read any but I've heard there are some out there. So any way onz wizza zstorie! (On with the story)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lan was sleeping peacefully all warm and comfortable in bed, enjoying her sleep and comfort with a soft pillow under her head and a warm thick duvet covering her making her warm when suddenly she was woken up with a bright, BRIGHT light shining into her eyes.
"Ehhhhhhhhhh?" She moaned and then shut her eyes tight and turned around with her back to the light and head under the blanket. "Meeeeeeehhhhhhhh" She groaned. She could hear the others moaning and groaning as well, but then she could also hear someone's strict barking voice ordering them to wake up.
"Come on you lazy brats, wake up! We've got a lot of training to do!" Everyone recognised the voice belonging to Kai-always-has-too-wake-up- first.
"Whaaaaaaa go away Kai I wanna sweep!" Moaned Lan. Trying to block the horrible light emitting from the drawn curtains away by burying herself deeper into the depths of her warm and comfortable bed. But soon she felt the shock and agony of her thick warm duvet being rudely pulled of her body making a cold streak run up all over her.
She moaned out aloud glowered at the person who dared to commit such a crime of taking her blanket away and then punched Kai in the stomach winding him real bad making him take a few steps backwards in pain,
"Ooof,"
Kai moaned in agony, clutching his stomach from the pain, he wished her never touched Lan's blanket, {Oi, I hate Lan in the mornings, OW that really hurt, how did she get so strong? Ohhhhh} Kai thought. And he slowly got up still winded and hunched over and decided to shake Ray awake, it would be safer and les painful.
It was a bright and lovely morning, but it wasn't to the rest of the Blade Breakers. They all wanted to sleep but Kai kept on irritating them by making them wake up. Ray had finally got out of bed but then slumped forward still sleepy onto Lan's bed falling heavily onto her legs. Kai could hear a faint and tired and muffled 'ow,' from under the blankets. It was certainly a dreary morning for the sleepy.
Ray heaved himself from the bed a few centimetres then collapsed back down again having no concern of the person under him. Kai grabbed Ray from the collar of his nightshirt and heaved him into the bathroom and then slamming the door shut.
He then went over to Tyson's bed and thought it was a more dangerous area than Lan's so he went to Max, who gratefully was already at least half- awake and rubbing his eyes yawning. Max started to mumble gibberish, it didn't seem like English but Kai assumed it was but didn't give a damn about it.
So he went over to Kenny and shook him awake. Now it was time to wake up the hard people. Lan was usually the second last to wake up. Tyson the last of course.
Kai made his way toward the deathbed, which was Lan's bed. He gently touched the lump that was Lan and then gently shook it, he didn't want to be winded again, he was still recovering from the last and many past punches in the stomach, once in the groin, Kai dearly wished he didn't insult Lan's fighting technique, there was nothing wrong with it, Kai just tried to make fun of Lan as she kept on making fun of him. He dearly paid for opening his big mouth.
He started to shake Lan a bit harder; he knew he would never rip the blanket off of her again while she's in a good mood or a bad mood. Slowly shielding any fragile and sensitive areas, he bent over Lan and peeled the duvet slowly from her face, when light came shining into her eyes she moaned again and tried to shake Kai off so she could sleep.
"Come on Lan. You've got to wake up, every else has."
"Has Tyson?" Lan mumbled stubbornly.
"Erm. Yes" a lie detector somewhere blew up.
"Liar" And Lan tried to bury her face again, right now she didn't care whether she cared deeply for the boy who was trying to wake her up, she needed sleep, and she would even hate her own mother for disturbing her nice sleep.
"Whaa Kai!"
"Lan! Please wake up! For me?" Kai started to plead. {All this for a girl} he thought bitterly.
"No." She said promptly. Kai let out a groan. Then he had an idea.
"Lan."
"What."
"You're acting like Tyson. Am I going to have to put a chilli pepper in your mouth?"
"I'm up," Lan said hastily. It wasn't the chilli pepper remark, it was the Tyson remark. Also, she didn't want to be like Tyson and have a chilli pepper in her mouth. Lan got out of the duvet and yawned. Kai finally smiled that he got one anti-morning person to wake up. He gently patted Lan on the shoulder and at the same time Ray stumbled out of the bathroom and Max quickly rushed in before Kenny had a chance to. Seeing this Lan quickly jumped into the bed again making Kai groan.
"Lan I thought you were going to wake up!"
"I'll get out into the coldness and boringness of life when the bathroom is vacant." Lan yelled stubbornly. Kai let out a deep sigh and Ray chuckled. Kai looked over to Ray and said.
"You wake Tyson up, I'm all worn out from trying to wake this one up." Then he slumped onto the lump that was Lan.
Ray laughed again and went towards Tyson to try and do the near impossible and wake the sleeping dragon without getting him mad.
Kai was resting on top of the blanket that Lan was under and then he heard a soft muffled voice say some thing that sounded like 'lorry'
"Huh?" Said Kai looking at the smaller lump that was Lan's head.
"Lorry" She said again.
"Lorry?" Lan pulled her head from under the cover
"I said sorry you dumb ass. Lorry? Where did that come from?"
"Well sorry. But I couldn't hear you and what are you sorry for?" Lan smiled and bumped her head on Kai's softly. "For causing you hell when trying to wake me up." Lan was talking loudly enough for only for Kai to hear.
"Well you better be sorry. I hate waking you up, you're such a monster in the mornings. And by the way that punch hurt."
"Awwwwww I thought the big tough street rebel never gets hurt. Wimp." She mumbled. Kai was about to open his mouth and say something but thought it was best not to argue, especially now that Lan had apologised and now was snuggling into his chest wanting to go to sleep again and her fist was very near his still wounded stomach. "By the way," Lan said, "thanks for the compliment, you red-eyed, blue-haired Dracula."
"Hey my eyes are not red, they're just brownish. red. And you are a monster in the mornings and enough about my hair."
"Well rah-rah-rah to you then" At that moment the bathroom door unlocked and Max came out body refreshed but face still sleepy. "
Come on Lan, in you go." Kai said giving her a little push.
"Carry me!"
"What?!"
"Carry me!" Lan put on the voice of a baby.
"Carry . . . What? No way!"
"Whaa, Whaa."
Kai knew . . . hoped Lan was joking.
"Lan you're not a baby now get up . . . You ARE joking aren't you?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm joking, geez. And as if you can carry me wimp, can't take a joke." She started mumbling and she went into the bathroom shutting the door into Kenny's face just as he was going to go into the bathroom.
Kai shook his head in disbelief; Lan could really act like a baby who grew up too fast. Meanwhile Ray was STILL trying to wake Tyson up.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!" Screamed Tyson. "C'mon! Just lemme wait till the bathroom is free k?"
"UGGH!" Moaned Ray, "fine, fine, do what you like! Uh!" And Ray slumped onto his own bed with his hands on his face. Kenny was sitting on the floor with his arms crossed next to the bathroom door with a grumpy look on his face wanting to go into the bathroom, as it was the second time he failed to go in.
Kai looked around the room and all he could see was the near end of chaos and havoc.
!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!
Soon. Or should I say much later. After everyone was changed and was done in the bathroom and had breakfast and done all the other morning stuff, the Bladebreakers, Lan and Mr. Dickinson set out of their hotel towards Regents Park where they could practise their Beyblading. When they got there Tyson saw the fountain (I think there is one. I dunno, never been to Regents Park) and started fooling around yelling,
"I wanna play with the duckies!" And there were no 'duckies' just pigeons cooing around the fountain eating leftover breadcrumbs from the people who left some there for the birds.
"Tyson. There is no time to play with imaginary ducks! Come on we've got to train!"
"Awwwww come on Kai! Have some fun once in your life and stop being so crabby!" Grunting in dis-satisfaction that Tyson didn't listen to him he turned his back to Tyson with the others following scared that Kai might yell at them too.
Just as Tyson was about to head over to the fountain Lan grabbed him by the shirt collar and shook him angrily.
"Tyson, why can't you just take a break and leave Kai in some peace and just do as he says? You can be your annoying preppy self at home! This is a time for all your concentration and focus! Do you want to lose this tournament?" She hissed at him.
"Gees Lan of course I don't. I just don't see why Kai can't just see the fun in life and Beyblading and stop being such a wet blanket! And besides, what do you care about Beyblading? You don't even do it!"
"The reason why I care is because Kai has to count on a procrastinating numbskull like you to keep his title as Champion!" She hissed at him again, not literally, of course, Lan is not a swan or a goose or a cat, "if you don't help your team to win this tournament then all the hard work we've been through will be wasted! All because of you Tyson!"
"Come on Lan! Have you ever seen me lose a battle? No sweat!" Lan was just about to object but Tyson slipped away from her grip and ran towards the others. Sighing Lan followed him but not in his hyperactive way. Lan was starting to think about all their close calls they had when battling.
She started to worry if Kai would lose his title if he doesn't play in the tournament and is only a substitute when he's team leader and an undefeated champion, how he became a substitute was anyone's guess, not even Kai knew why. If Kai were there instead of maybe Max then they would win no problem, looking at al the times when Ray and Max lost and when Kai won, was really un-nerving that Kai doesn't battle and the others do.
Lan and Mr. Dickinson sat on a bench and watched as the others trained. A couple of squirrels came by near Lan and she gave them some of the peanuts Mr. Dickinson had. Soon she had about four or five squirrels and chipmunks by her feet eating the nuts she gave them.
Lan just hoped they didn't have rabies, especially when the first squirrel came up to her and started cleaning itself on her shoulder, she also hoped that they were toilet-trained.
"Hehehe. You certainly have a way with nature Lan." Mr. Dickinson chuckled heartedly looking at the little mammals around Lan's feet.
"Er. Yeah, gees, all this commotion for nuts? Hah, but they're cute though." And she fed the one sitting on her shoulder a nut.
As they were enjoying themselves (the people and animals on the bench) their peace was disturbed by something whizzing towards Lan's head, Lan caught it with quick reactions with her hand but the sudden movement and the flying thing had scared all the squirrels and chipmunks away. Lan looked at the thing that almost gave her a dent in her head and found it was a Beyblade. Tyson's Beyblade.
"Tyson!" Lan yelled angrily, "What do you think you're trying to do? Kill me?" And she threw Tyson's Beyblade into his outstretched hand.
"Uh. Sorry Lan, it wasn't my fault, it got hit by Kai's blade and then it knocked it out of the tree stump and it er . . . flew." Lan saw Kai pick up his spinning blade and then look at Lan with a VERY small look of concern but inside he was dead worried about Lan and was sorry. Somehow, Lan saw this, Kai's feelings on the inside. Her frown disappeared but then she looked at Tyson and her temper started to rise again.
"You scared away all those squirrels! And you almost hit me in the eye! You've got to be more careful Tyson and train harder so that your blade wont fly so far out of the dish, you should learn how to only have a small defeat knowing that your opponent didn't give you such a hard hit because you would have given a small bit of damage back as your blade would have a power almost matching your opponents so you wouldn't have such a big and unworthy defeat!" And after that she stormed not back to the bench but up a tall tree. She climbed up not too high but high enough to get away from danger. Tyson just stood there a little confused; he wasn't sure what Lan just yelled out made any sense.
Kai looked up at the tree where Lan was sitting on with worry in his eyes. "Lan's right Tyson, what she means is, is that you've got to become stronger."
"Well she could have just said that instead of all the mumbo jumbo." Muttered Tyson stubbornly. But he felt bad that he could have almost made Lan go to the hospital, it was good she had quick reflexes. Although they did seem a little too quick for comfort.
Lan was up in the tree with her legs swinging off the branch she was resting on. Checking that the branch was stable and it wouldn't crack under her weight she relaxed a little, she knew it wasn't really Tyson's fault, it wasn't any body's, she just tried to find a way to tell of Tyson, it was true in a way, Tyson shouldn't be so weak against Kai, that would never help him against the Blade Sharks.
As Lan tried to do a bit of meditation to train her mind as she couldn't train her body to get stronger, but the bough was too woody and uncomfortable and there was a sharp bit of bark sticking into her backside. So she took off her black vest, stood up carefully, placed her black top onto the branch then settled back again. It sort of helped, it wasn't so prickly but it was still uncomfortable but Lan decided to live with it, as it was her own fault she became so hot tempered and climbed up into that tree.
She soon started clearing her mind and then filled it with nothing but Martial Arts and her concentration on what she loved best; fighting.
(By the way, when I mean meditating I don't mean all the HUMMMMMMM business, and the Rafiki position, crossed legs on top of each other and hands with the thumb and forefinger together, no, not that, just sitting down and thinking and concentrating on something very hard and not let anything disturb you and Lan was thinking about fighting so she had imagine herself sparring with the air, sharpening her thoughts, reflexes, agility and strength).
During the Beybladers' training, all Kai could think of was the Blade Sharks, if he would really be able to defeat them with this lot. They had let him down before but only slightly, all he wanted from them right now was their full concentration and will to fight and win. Now it was for two reasons, not to embarrass him in front of his old teammates and to keep his Title. Also, so he didn't want to let Lan down, but that wasn't so important, not to Kai anyway.
He knew anyway, now, that Lan wouldn't care if they lost, because she'd just kick all the crap out of the Blade Sharks any way for winning. But they couldn't win, not ever. Kai realized that if his old teammates now hated him, that would mean that Kai would be stuck with this brat pack after the World Tournament and he wouldn't be able to go back to the Blade Sharks.
{Great.} thought Kai sarcastically.
After a long day of Training and meditating and sitting and watching at the same time, the Bladebreakers company went off home, uh I mean to the hotel. Kai was wondering why Lan was so deaf when she was sitting in that tree, when they called her to come down she didn't answer, until Ray had to climb up the tree and give Lan a little shake almost making her fall out the tree, Ray said that Lan looked as if she was in a daze when she got jerked awake by Ray.
They all thought Lan was asleep but thought it was a bit of a weird and uncomfortable place to sleep, but Lan was really meditating but she didn't tell the others that thinking that she was a hippy in disguise.
(OK I think I might be insulting some people in this Fanfiction so I apologise if I have, if not then ignore me).
When they reached the hotel it was six o' clock at night and they said goodbye and goodnight to Mr. Dickinson and he wished them luck for tomorrows match. When they went into their room they each took turns in taking a shower and relaxed on their beds chatting and talking about today and beyblades. Lan had to apologise to Tyson for being mean as the guilt was killing her, but she accidentally said it in a very sarcastic way so Tyson wasn't really convinced.
Her and Ray sat on Lan's bed again and started talking like the night before. This time about um. I dunno, I'll leave you to your imagination, I can't think of a subject right now. Any way, Ray and Lan were talking and Kenny was showing Tyson some stuff he found out about their beyblades in the park today but didn't have any time to tell them then so he started telling them now. Kai however was not in the talkative mood, he was being extra grumpy at the moment, his mind kept on going towards the Blade Sharks, they didn't know whom they'd be battling first.
Kai hoped it wasn't the Blade Sharks, he wanted to eliminate them in the finals and..
Kai couldn't think with all that noise going on. Ray and Lan were talking and Kai was starting to be afraid that they were getting a bit too cosy together and he couldn't stand the jealously around him, he was never jealous over any one, he couldn't stand this new feeling. And Tyson and Kenny and Max talking so loudly, well Tyson was, about improving Beyblading and Kenny's tactics about winning, it was a little daft Kai thought, they didn't even know who'd they be playing next and what if their tactics wouldn't even work because they're all wrong.
Kai thought he heard Kenny say something about Kai playing in one of the matches, and they were talking about that Kai was experienced and that despite his rudeness, he was a compatible beyblader.
Kai grunted, he didn't know whether he even wanted to bother to battle, but if it was for the sake of his Title, he figured that he would need to play. This was something that Kai would need to think about too, right now his head was too full of thoughts and it was confusing Kai and giving him a headache.
He needed to get away to some quiet so he could think freely. He looked over at Lan and Ray and felt a pang of anger that Lan had started to play around with Ray's long, long, long, thin, thin, ponytail, laughing. Kai had to leave, he couldn't take any more of this.
Max was becoming a little bored of Kenny and Tyson's talk about whether they should let Kai in and battle, Tyson was objecting the idea and all they were doing right now was arguing. So Max decided to see what Ray and Lan were talking about. No one noticed the door open and shut quietly with a flick of a white scarf whip around the corner of the closing door.
Not even Lan noticed. Kai knew she didn't notice, and frankly, he was a little hurt, but refused to let himself know it or accept it.
"Awwww! Ray your ponytail is so cute! So it's tradition for you to have a long ponytail because you're Chinese?"
"Yup, heh, I'm glad you like it." Ray started to blush slightly as Lan playfully tugged it and fooled around with the long hair wrapped around with white cloth.
"Yeah, your ponytail is pretty cool Ray" Added Max brightly. As Lan felt the silky-ness of the tip of Ray's ponytail they all started talking about something again I can't think of.
It was a while before Lan realized someone was missing from the room. "Hey, where's Kai?" She asked worriedly.
"Gee, I dunno, I thought he was here just a moment ago." Said Ray looking around the Kai-less room.
"Hey I thought I heard the door shut but I thought it was me or something." Max said looking around too.
"I wonder where he is, why would he just leave?" Lan said twiddling Ray's ponytail in her fingers trying to think.
"Hey Lan." Ray said touching her on the shoulder making her look up, before when they had first met, Lan admitted to herself that she had a small crush on Ray, not a major crush, she just thought he was kind of cute and a really hardcore Beyblader especially after the match he and Tyson had, but then she thought him a wimp when he just gave up the match not finishing it letting Tyson win.
When Ray joined the team Lan thought she had some small feelings for Ray and whenever Kai insulted him she hit Kai. Ray also felt something for Lan, blushing slightly when they talked but when they realized that there were other people they cared for, that person was more important than each other, so they decided in their minds to be friends. Never actually saying any thing to each other but they both saw it in each other.
Ray leaned over and hugged Lan whispering so Max wouldn't hear to go get Kai, it wouldn't matter to him and that he's more important. So Lan smiled and hugged him back with thanks. She playfully patted Max's thick blonde hair with a smile on her face and jumped off the bed.
She was about to make her way to wards the door when she changed her mind and ran towards the cupboard and got a soft thick big blanket out from the cupboard and went out the door.
"Where did she go?" Asked a very confused Max
"To go and find Kai," answered Ray.
"Does she know where he is?"
"Um . . . maybe, I dunno." And the two carried on talking.
Lan didn't know whether where she thought Kai would be was yielded to the hotel customers. But it never hurt to try. Pressing the button calling the elevator to come she waited patiently, when the lift came she was grateful that no one was in there as she didn't want to look like a suspicious teenager.
(I'm guessing Kai, Ray and Lan are 14 and the others are 13 Tyson is definitely 13 because of one of the episodes title "thirteen candles" and I'm guessing Kai is older because he called Tyson "kid")
Making her way to the top floor she was glad that nobody, strangely enough, came into the lift. When she reached the top floor she ran around trying to find the door.
!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!
Kai was on the roof of the Russell Hotel they were staying at. He looked over London city and saw the sun was almost down and the lights were slowly coming on. Kai was sitting down in his usual position, he was sitting on the very edge of the building with his left leg swinging off the side and his right leg's knee bent so his foot was on the edge of the building next to his backside with his leg bent with his right arm on top of his hitched up leg and his left arm stuck out on the building giving him support.
(Its hard to describe his position but think of the episode when he asked his blade shark companions to attack his blade but then all the other blades except for Kai's flew out the dish, his position is like that, when he was sitting on those boxes or what ever, can't remember.)
Kai could finally think by himself without the noise of instant chatter. Sure there were the cars below him but they were bearable. His room was not.
Kai started to relax swinging his leg over the side. It would look as if he was about to commit suicide, sitting right on the edge. It was starting to get a little cold, Kai wished he had taken a jacket with him or something England was a cold country. Especially at night.
Kai's scarf only kept his neck warm but his arms were freezing, he was glad he wore thick baggy trousers that kept him warm, not great in the summer but he had an air con, also he could always change into. shorts. Kai didn't like shorts, he preferred long trousers, he was glad he wasn't wearing shorts right now, but his tight black top didn't do him any good right now. Japan was much warmer than this, less wet as well.
Kai shook his head trying to rid his thoughts about fashion and decided to think about something more important and less pointless.
Kai started to relax again despite the cold and stare out to the city, he thought he heard something but guessed it was just one of the car doors slamming below him.
Kai started to wander about his problems casually while looking at the world around him but not taking anything in, he was too busy thinking.
Suddenly Kai felt a fury something around his shoulders and then a voice speaking making him almost fall off the building plunging towards his death, but then the thing that almost killed him also saved him with a small gasp but then the something behind him seemed to relax.
"I said aren't you cold?"
Kai thought the voice was familiar, he looked down and saw a blanket over him and he turned around sharply seeing the smiling face of Lan.
"Lan?" Kai said breathlessly thinking {what the heck? She almost killed me!}
"Yeah it's me. Did I scare you?" And she wrapped the blanket around Kai's shoulders more tightly and hugged him just as tight.
"Scare me? No of course not, I don't get scared." Another lie.
"Well?"
"Well what?" He asked as Lan climbed over and sat down next to him.
"Aren't you cold?"
"No." The amount of lies Kai has said he should win an award for the dumbest lies ever spoken.
"Are you sure?" Lan said in a small soft voice, she put her arm around Kai not believing a word he said.
"What are you doing here? I mean, how did you find me?"
"I guessed you needed too be alone for a while and for some reason I figured you'd be on the roof and I guess I was right huh?" She gave him another small smile. "I don't know it was only a wild guess."
She came closer to Kai, Kai was scared that if he might start edging away from Lan then he'd edge closer to the corner of the building and fall down to the cars zooming below him and die a very painful death.
"If you figured I needed to be alone, why did you come up here?" Kai said.
"Well, I thought you could use a little company, I don't want you to be a loner."
(KBA: Snigger, in the real Beyblade he is a loner, Awwww poor Kai. Snigger).
"Also you didn't have to be so rude about it." She frowned slightly at Kai. "Any way, why don't we take a little walk, you know to get you warmed up, you seem cold." Lan said feeling Kai's arms then getting up. Kai was glad she was going to lead them away from possible danger.
"Um . . . OK." They both got up and Kai wrapped the blanket around the both of them, Lan was only wearing a t-shirt and trousers that ended by her shins and he feared that Lan might get cold as she gave the entire blanket to Kai. As Kai put his arm around her with the blanket Lan smiled and cuddled up close to Kai's chest and they started walking.
"So. What have you been thinking about? All alone up here."
"Nothing much. It doesn't matter." That was yet another lie.
"Hmmm." Of course Lan didn't believe him but she decided he didn't want to talk about it so she didn't persist any further.
As they walked around the roof a couple of times careful to avoid any obstacles that came through their way they soon settle down again on the edge of the hotel. Kai wrapped his arm around Lan tighter making sure she wouldn't be cold, Lan was quite happy with Kai's strange caring behaviour, she wondered if he had been taken over by Pod People while he was up there alone.
Lan shuffled closer to Kai and surprisingly Kai leaned his head on Lan's shoulder. She gently kissed his head and then looked in front of her. Lan let out a soft gasp at what she saw. "Kai, Kai!"
"What," Kai didn't want to move; he was starting to become comfortable.
"Look." Kai peered over from Lan's shoulder and saw to what Lan thought was a beautiful sight; the sunset. Kai looked up at Lan and she had a happy smile on her face as she saw the deep colours of the sun that didn't make you blind if you looked at it.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Breathed Lan.
"I guess." Kai said with not much enthusiasm, he wasn't really in to sunsets. Wanting to go back and rest on her shoulder but Kai felt Lan shuffling around, she rested her head on Kai's head and moved his arm to wrap around her waist instead of her shoulder and she took hold of the corner of the blanket instead of Kai.
Wrapping it around themselves they both watched as the sun set and both felt warm in each other's company. None of them wanted the moment to end. Lan wondered why Kai was being so friendly but she didn't bother to ask him not wanting to ruin the moment.
Lan suddenly remembered something she had wanted to ask Kai for a while but didn't think it was a good idea. She looked into his face with the orange tinge around him and she wanted Kai to have that peaceful look all the time instead of his usual grumpy-ness. "Kai." Lan dared to speak.
"Hmmm?" Kai didn't want to talk, just rest with Lan while he thought about his problems. Now Lan had spoken, she needed to say what she wanted to say, but she just didn't know how to put it in words. She was scared that Kai might start to hate her afterwards.
"Um, Kai, I was wondering."
"Hmmm."
"You know our relationship has become quite strong already."
{Damn}
Kai now knew what Lan was going to say, he just hoped that he was jumping to conclusions and she was going to say something different.
"Uh . . ." He moaned inside as he moved to face Lan, she had a look of fear and hope on her face, Kai felt sorry for her.
"Do you think we should start going out with each other? Kai?" Kai guessed right.
"Lan . . ." He couldn't finish; he didn't know what to say. Should he reject her? But he felt . . . He didn't know what he felt. He needed more time, but he thought that all the time in the world would never solve this problem.
"Lan, I know we've been close, but I don't know. What would the others say?"
Lan knew Kai would have some words of objection but she didn't know some of them would be 'what would the others say'
"Wha . . . Huh?"
"Err, well you know Tyson keeps on blabbing about us um. going out with each other, well what if he says it again but instead of us saying we're not, we're gonna have to say we are, and . . ."
"They don't need to know, I mean come on Kai, we practically act as if we're already going out with each other, and I just want to know if you want to confirm it. Or not."
"I know but the thought, I . . . Don't know."
"It's OK Kai, if you don't want to then its OK; I just wanted to know if you wanted to confirm it. I guess you don't." Lan actually looked upset and rejected, Kai held her closer,
"I'm sorry,"
"Me too . . . Wait . . . Did you just use the word sorry?"
"Um . . . yeah" Kai said slowly, "why?"
"Oh nothing, it just that, I never expected those words to ever come out of your mouth. That's all"
"Gee thanks" Lan grinned at him and snuggled into the blue part of Kai's hair again making him feel warm and fuzzy and then kissed his cheek affectionately. Kai did feel sorry Lan; he didn't know if he wanted to confirm it, it just felt weird to say or think Lan and Kai Boyfriend and Girlfriend, Kai guessed it was the words Boyfriend and Girlfriend that made him uncertain.
He didn't tell Lan that in case she thought he was a bit of a freak. Lan couldn't understand why he wouldn't want them to confirm it; they were already very affectionate to each other, and it wouldn't make a difference. Lan couldn't deny that she was upset but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, it just wasn't her.
Kai and Lan stayed like that for a while wrapped up in a blanket together, Kai started to think again and Lan just sat there enjoying Kai's company. Soon the atmosphere around them began to sprout that word they both hated: love. The wind suddenly blew hard on their faces ruffling their hair, especially Lan's as it was shoulder length.
They shuffled even closer together trying to avoid the cold wind, Kai brushed the hair out of Lan's eyes and face, while holding on to her tightly, as he brushed her hair out of the way he was stroking her at the same time, which made them both blush, as they sat up straight hugging each other and when the wind died down and Kai brushed the rest of Lan's flyaway hair revealing her fair face, their eyes met and locked together.
Soon their heads inched towards each other slowly, this was like the time when Kai kissed Lan in bed but this time, they were on a roof, Lan was awake and Kai wasn't so scared any more. As they came nearer and nearer each other Kai moved his fingers cupping his hand under Lan's chin and then he quickened their pace and drew Lan into his lips. Kai started to stroke Lan's billowing hair while Lan ran her fingers through Kai's hair.
Night time was coming and they were silhouetted against the night's sky with their shadows mimicking their embrace. This kiss was longer than the last one, when they paused for a breath their lips brushed against each other still while panting for some air, as Lan sucked Kai's top lip quickly and staccato like Kai pressed down again and embraced them again in a passionate kiss.
They didn't bother going into all that movie stuff when they start kissing each other's neck, I aint gonna write about that. Although as Kai wrapped his arms around Lan's body he held her tightly but not so tight it would hurt her, Lan drew her hands around his neck and deepened the kiss a little more.
As they drew for breath again they gave each other quick short kisses and gazed into each other's eyes again and they both smiled at each other and kissed again. Kai couldn't believe himself and Lan couldn't believe him. As the wind riled up their hair again as they kissed and both let out a little moan of happiness. As fireworks flew that night it was suddenly disrupted as they both heard a noise from the entrance door.
They both turned sharply towards the door breaking their kiss and Kai swore in his head that he'd kill the person who came through that door. They had to quickly let go of each other with as pang of unhappiness as they looked at each other again, as they looked away again and stared at the door still close to each other sot they could stay warm, the door opened and out came . . . Ray.
"Ray?!" Both of them said in unison, they had both expected the Janitor or something about to yell at them for breaking on to the roof without permission but they didn't expect smiling Ray stumbling out of the doorway.
"Hey guys! I aint disturbing any thing here am I?" As he looked at the two wrapped up together in the blanket.
"No. Not much" Said Lan, there was a little menace in the tone of her voice, Ray however didn't notice.
"What are you doing here Ray" Kai said rudely and a little menacing way as well.
"Well, you two've been up here for ages and the room service came and your dinner is getting cold and I was just worried about you guys."
The first two reasons why Ray was up there disturbing their probably once in a life time moment because of Kai's stubbornness was some of the most pointless reasons ever been told, but when he said that he cared for them Lan's heart softened a little, Kai's didn't though.
"Listen Ray I don't care, I'm not hungry and I still need to think more about the Blade Sharks. Just go away." Kai said in one of his rudest tones ever.
Suddenly they heard a low rumble coming from Lan's stomach.
"Er. I guess I'm kinda hungry, heh." Lan said sweat dropping anime style. It seemed that Lan would be going down with Ray to eat some food. Kai looked disappointed.
"Hey, Lan's hungry, c'mon Kai you cant live without food!"
"I am not hungry." This time Kai was not lying.
"Hmmm." Ray sat down next to Lan thinking it would be safer to sit next to her as they were sitting right on the edge of a building and one slip of Kai's hand would send him falling.
"Lan, do you want to come down?" Ray asked.
"Um." Lan looked at Kai and he turned away.
"You can go Lan, I don't need you anymore." Liar, liar pants on fire said.
"Ray, I think I'll stay here for about fifteen more minutes ok? I'll be down soon I just need to make sure Kai's alright"
"Um. OK I'll see you later Lan." Ray didn't know why she didn't just say are you all right then get an answer and then go. For some reason Ray just felt like he needed to talk to someone more interesting than Tyson or Max, he had already talked to Max for a long time and now Ray wanted to know more about Lan, Ray just felt in a talkative mood today.
So Rat got up and then waved goodbye with a flick of his hand and then disappeared into the doorway.
"You stayed." Kai said just after Ray was out of earshot.
"Yeah, so? I wanted to stay with you, remember what I said; I'm never going to leave your side no matter what." And that was that. She snuggled into Kai's chest again, reached up and kissed him on the cheek and then moved to his ear. She was going to say something but decided not to.
Kai moved his head so they were face to face again and he gave Lan a small kiss on the lips smiled slightly wrapped his arms around her again and then kissed more deeply and passionately than before. Lan rubbed noses with her companion and then kissed him again.
They did that for the fifteen minutes Lan said she'd stay up there for. She slowly unravelled the blanket off of her and wrapped it around Kai while still caring for him, when she wrapped the blanket around his shoulders she whispered "you keep the blanket, oh yeah and Kai." She said while kissing him on the cheek.
"What?" He asked kissing her back.
"I love you." Kai shot his eyes open but Lan had already given him a quick kiss on the cheek and was already making her way back to the inside of the hotel without giving Kai a chance to respond. Lan's movement was as quick as lightning and when Kai saw her disappear behind the door he felt a shock going through his body, he now was full of emotion but still managed to have the look of total surprise on his face.
He thought back on what he had just experienced. He did something no body would have believed, and he didn't think he believed it himself but knew it was true. He let his emotions out and his pride and honour seemed to have disappeared somewhere.
He hoped he hadn't gone soft, and if he had, then the Blade Sharks were right, he had turned soft because of that girl. He couldn't think now. He just sat there as still as a statue, with no thoughts in his mind what so ever.
*Inside the hotel*
Lan was sitting on her bed and had just finished her dinner. When she put the plate aside she looked over at Kai's empty bed. Before she knew it Ray had tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hiya, can I sit down?"
"Oh sure." And she made some room for Ray who had taken his bandana off and it was next to Lan's and he was in his nightclothes, a white t-shirt and black shorts.
(Its true, he has them, I saw them my self in the episode the race is on, I think it's that anyway.)
Lan was already set for bed; she was just waiting for Kai. As Lan and Ray started talking again and Lan fiddled around with Ray's ponytail, everyone else started getting ready for bed or was fighting over the bathroom. Lan still thought that Ray was very cute, in an adorable way and in a fit way, but mostly in the adorable way, she already had feeling for someone else.
She liked to play with Ray's things, his hair, bandana, beyblade, shoes and that's bout it. Lan really liked Ray's Ying Yang clothes, she thought they were cool.
Soon everybody was getting tired and Kai was still not back. Ray said goodnight to Lan and advised her not to stay up so late or we'll never be able to wake her up in the morning. As everyone settled into bed, and turned the lights off, Lan walked over to Kai's bed and sat on it. She lay down and felt the softness of his pillow and breathed in his scent.
Soon Lan fell asleep herself and didn't realize the door opening and then closing and then the quiet shuffling around. Kai had returned at eleven thirty at night and was getting ready to go to sleep.
Kai was about to get into bed but was surprised to see Lan sleeping on his bed without a blanket on. He climbed in next to her, his eyelids already drooping and he woke her up.
"Kai?" Lan whispered sleepily. "That you?"
"Yeah, don't worry, go to sleep." He kissed her on the forehead. Lan rested down forgetting she wasn't in her own bed. Kai decided to carry on re- living history based on that night they kissed for the first time in that hotel months ago and slept in the same bed.
He pulled the duvet from underneath Lan's body and then climbed into bed with Lan and covered the duvet over them both. Lan snuggled into Kai sleepily and Kai whispered slowly before she went to sleep,
"I think I love you too." He kissed her lightly, put his arm around he hugged her and then settled to sleep not caring what the others would think the next morning when they woke.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
OK maybe I forgot to add in my description, extreme mushy ness and a lot of kissing; BEWARE. Hmm. that was way longer than the others 13 pages! Ah! Any way, for those who didn't think it was going to get this sappy I apologise. SORRY! And this guy definitely AINT Kai, oh well. Who cares? If you do then stop reading. Please review! Mah!!!!!
