I just got this fic up so I'm really happy. I was looking for some fan fics about my favorite couplings and there weren't any. I like Max and Miriam, Kai and Emily, Hilary and Tyson and Ray and Mariah. It think they are just the perfect couples. I do care what you think about my fic but I don't really care if you don't like my pairings. It's my fic, I don't tell people that I don't like theirs. Kid Blader is one of my favorite writers of all time. He not only writes Kai and Emily he writes, Ray and Mariah and Max and Miriam. If you find any more people who write long stories with any of these pairings tell me. I'd love to read them. Oh and if you have one tell me. I'm trying to cut myself from writing a lot at the beginning and the end so this is going to be it.

Chapter 2: My Partner is…Kai?
Star 1, Position 1
"Emily, Emily, wake up." Max shook me awoke. I wanted to scream but he had covered my mouth. I looked out the window and I saw that we were about to reach Japan. It was so beautiful.
"Japan is beautiful, isn't it?" I nodded, keeping an eye on Japan. Japan, the home of so many things. I've traveled so many places but this is one place I'd love to live in again and I was lucky enough to be able to.
"I wonder where Kai and Tyson are right now. I can't wait for my match against them. It's going to be a challenge but Trygator and I are up for anything." I grasped Trygator tightly and stared at it. I hope you're up for the challenge, cause I sure am.
"Well knowing Tyson, he's sleeping or getting whacked in the head with a wooden sword for not practicing Kendo. He may be on a date with Hilary too. You never exactly know with Tyson. He's been different since he started dating Hilary. He's still Tyson but he's trying hard to empress her." I need to remember to talk to Hilary sometime when I'm not busy. I wondered what Kai's been up to.
"So where's Kai been? I heard that last he was hanging out with Tala at his grandfather's." Judy was explaining where every one of the Bladebreakers was hanging out over the summer when Max went to see his dad for a week. I'm sure he's trying to get over leaving him mom but I'm leaving my country for a few months to a year.
"Ya, Kai hasn't been hanging around with the gang in a while. He's been really been staying with Voltaire either. He stays over Tala's over the summer and 3 years ago he went to school with Tala. I'm not sure what he's doing know that he's out of high school. He graduated early so he could hang with Tala a lot of the time. I don't know what he's doing know. You never know with Kai." Max laid back against his seat and looked at Draciel.
"So, are you happy that you're out of school? I'm not. I'm not learning anything that could make a difference on our beyblade configurations. It's not helping my research but going to college is so going to help. I can't wait until I make some big discovery that will make a big difference on our beyblades." Max was totally ignoring me. I wasn't one to take advantage of someone when they weren't paying attention to me. I'd just stop talking or slap them. This time I think I'll just stop talking.
A few minutes later he finally came to. "Huh, did you say something. I'm sorry Emily. It's just that I can't wait to challenge Kai and Tyson myself. I don't usually but after all the improvements I've had I'm sure I could beat them." I laughed at him. I didn't mean to be rude.
"With the technology we have you and you're skill and spirit there's nothing you can't do with Draciel. Tyson and Kai are going to have their hands full, when we arrive." I leaned back, it was true. Draciel and Trygator were now more highly efficient than Dranzer and Dragoon. Kenny is pretty good with tactics but seeing as I graduated 3 years before him. I have an edge over him by a lot.
"I can't wait to arrive. How much time until we land." Max was going to jump out the window if you didn't tie him down. He was so happy to be back. I wish I would have taken more courses on Japanese culture but Max taught me a lot so I should be fine.
"The flight attendant said 3:20pm. It is 3 now so in about 20 minutes. Wow, I slept another few hours this afternoon. I never got this tired on our private jet. Maybe it's just because of the jet lag. I usually sleep on the plane and don't have jet lag when I get off, I guess that's why." I realized I had slept 2 hours.
"It is fine; I usually sleep on my flights too. It's just that this time it's different. So you excited about you're new school and new partner?" Max understood why I slept and didn't talk to him for 2 hrs. He is so nice and sweet. No wonder Miriam likes him so much. He's not my taste though. He's too talkative and energetic.
We got through customs and I finally found the car that they had bought me. Mr. Dickinson was there to great us. It was a white Jaguar x-type. It was very nice, it seated up to 5 people. It was a great birthday present. Judy said that the guys had pitched in and bought it. I was so surprised. They families were all like millionaires but it was still very nice. I knew they could afford to buy. The fact that they would think to buy me a car was what surprised me.
"I see you like the car Emily. It's yours. The guys on your team bought it for you. I think they told you but if they forgot I'm telling you. It's a sweet ride. So why don't I take you to your apartment?" I was still staring at MY car. I was 18 and have never had a car. I just got my driver's license a year ago. "Max, you might want to get her in here." Max grabbed my suitcases and packed them and then pulled me into the car.
"Welcome to the Dale Door Inn. I'm Sydney. I think I'm one of your close neighbors. I got 2 new neighbors on my area this week. I'm so happy. What's your name?" Sydney was so happy and cheerful. I didn't so much as mind cheerful girls because girls deserve to be but when boys are this cheerful it can be odd.
"Hi, I'm Emily Dennison." The girl smiled and then Max caught her attention. "Max Tate." I had to introduce my friends. I don't usually open up to strangers. I hope my partner lived close inside the building. I think Sydney's new neighbor was my partner but I didn't want to ask.
"So Emily, I'll help you carry your things up. Let me see your room number." I handed her my papers that Mr. Dickinson had filled out. "Yep, you're my neighbor all right. You don't talk much either, I see. All my neighbors seem to not talk to me." I could see why you just bounce from topic to topic and are all helpful. I enjoy doing things perfect by myself. I wouldn't need help but she could do something or whatever.
After a few minutes of unpacking everything was in its perfectly situated spot. It was about 5:30. I had just enough time to be a little early for my meeting with my partner. My new car was very smooth on the way here but I can't drive as smooth as most people can so it might not be. It had a DVD player, with a road map, and heat sensors as well as a moonlight. This car had it all. When they guys were being thoughtful they were being extremely thoughtful.
I arrived at O'daylawn just to stare at it's beautiful architecture. "Miss., may I ask what you are doing here." It was a teacher who saw me arrive on campus.
"I'm sorry, I'm a student here. I just turned in all my paperwork yesterday. I haven't seen the school or gotten the results but odds are I'll get accepted but I'm just taking a walk around and meeting someone here. Bye." The teacher walked off. I'm sure she meets tons of students who wished they could go here. I hope I didn't see too anxious to go to school here.
The school is just so beautiful and matches the sky so wonderfully. I wonder what kind of students it has. I wonder if any of them beyblade. I wonder if they have any tennis courts around here. I could use some practice once in a while.
Position 2, Star 2
I'm on my phone and talking to Mr. Dickerson about a scholarship. They do have some and they are looking up my profile. "It seems Kai that you are allowed to keep the scholarship to the school. I told you to meet your partner at the school. Are you at the school?" I'm standing on its back lawn. Who ever they are they should be here soon. "Kai?"
"I'm here." I did everything they said. I needed the scholarship to go here. I'm sure they wouldn't pair me up with just any beyblader. Maybe it's a new beyblader if it is than this is going to be a horrible year. As long as he's not like Tyson, or a newbie blader or they like to talk a lot I'm fine.
"Max is in town, you know. You should take your guest to see him. Max is part of your team, I'm sure they'd be delighted to meet him." Great so this person clearly hasn't met Max before. So they can't be any big time blader. I better just stand here at meet them instead of guessing. "Kai?"
"Ya, what." I was trying to think of what kind of student would beyblade and go to this school. They'd have to be extremely smart and scientific. I'd only met one girl like that. "Emily!"
"That's what I said Kai. Emily is your partner." I hanged up my phone and walked over to Emily who seemed to be looking for someone. I was tired of Mr. Dickenson's talking anyway.
"You looking for someone… Emily?" She turned around very surprised to see me. I'm guessing, no one told her who she was meeting either. Emily wasn't the most likely candidate for this school. She was a scientist and a fair beyblader. I could deal with working with her for the next 2 years.
"Nope, not anymore." She hardly said a word as we entered the school. I hardly said a word any of the time too. To put it simply neither of us were going to talk much and I was totally fine with that. It turns out that she was talking some of the same courses I was taking. Actually she was taking all the courses I was taking well except for anatomy. She needed all those courses to be a scientist and I needed to take them to be a doctor so we'd have most of our courses together. I read her transcript and didn't say a word to her about it.
"Where are you staying, Emily?" I had a guess that she was living in the same building as me because I think that Mr. Dickinson planned this. He always seemed to do things like this.
"Dale Door Inn, I moved there today. You?" I was right Mr. Dickinson must have planned this.
"Me too." She didn't look surprised. It seemed everything was either something I knew about her she didn't or something she knew about me that I didn't. I think we should take time to sort this out. "You look tired, you okay."
"I guess I'm just a little jet lag from the trip. I'll be fine after some sleep." Wow she had been through a lot today; the school, meeting me, the flight, moving in. This area wasn't the best area for weak girls to hang out. It was a center area for gangs. It seems I'm going to be looking out for Emily and that new girl, Sydney all the time. This was going to be fun. I don't have a ride home because Mr. Dickinson had to drop me off here.
I headed off down the street and she was watching me. "Did you walk all the way here? It's a pretty long walk isn't it?" She looked concerned. Apparently it wasn't safe for me to walk all of what was 2 miles.
"No, someone dropped me off then had to leave." I wonder if he had dropped her off too. He was the one running around with Max and me.
"You want a ride home. We live in the same building you know. You should have just asked, though." I guess she did have a car with her. I wonder what kind it is.
"Ya, I don't rely on others." We walked over to her car. Of course it was a brand new car with everything you could think of. She comes to a new country of course she has to buy a brand new car. I was staring at it, it was very nice.
"Nice isn't it. I could never afford it. The guys bought it for me. They didn't skip out on all the details. I just got it an hour ago." Apparently she wasn't a spoiled brat like I thought. She just had fancy guy friends. I wonder how hard it is for her to adjust to everything here.
"This is going to be a very interesting next two years, you agree." She nodded. I got in her car and took a look around. It had a DVD player, sunlight, fancy temperature controls and everything. It was sweet. She buckled herself in and I did too.
I guess Mr. Dickinson always did know what he was doing. When he threw us off like that on our boat to Russia. He knew where we'd go and he trusted us. He always seemed to know what to do to give us a push in our lives. He had actually found a perfect partner for me. Emily didn't like to talk, she was a good student and fairly friendly once you got to know her. She was like me, quiet and sort of a loner for a girl. She demanded to rely on herself and do things herself but she was still friendly.
Star 2- Emily
Kai was a great person for Mr. Dickinson to pick as my partner. He was very smart and very talented at beyblading. He wasn't annoying like Michael, and he wasn't as talkative as Michael. He wasn't anything like Michael. He was the opposite of Michael. He was perfect. He had very high expectations of everyone including himself and I could deal with that. I was perfect, I liked things perfect so I was the perfect partner for Kai.
"I'll drive you to school tomorrow. It's a rough neighborhood out here. Bye." Kai was so odd. He would just make little sense of anything he had to say. If he said anything you had to think about it so much to make sense of it.
"Wait, are you inferring that I can't take care of myself." I had just caught that he referred to this as a rough neighborhood so by taking to me to school he was protecting me. "Why do boys have to think that girls are weak. I hate that. I can so take care of myself Kai." I was screaming and I hardly noticed that I was about to walk into traffic. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"I guess you can't because you almost got ran over my a car." Great he could easily prove me wrong. That's exactly what I needed in a partner. I needed to constantly be offended by him. That was so one of the qualities I was looking for. "Just agree and we can go."
"Uhh." He laughed or whatever Kai does. I don't exactly know the name for it. "Fine." He walked over to me and walked down me to my room which was right next to his.
"You're easier to get along with when you say one word and agree." Great now he likes it when I'm mad at him and just give up and agree. He doesn't like things that are frail and vulnerable yet he prefers me to act vulnerable.
"You're impossible, Kai." He was so confusing. What did he want from me?
"Thank you." He was having fun tormenting me. Is that just something boys like to do or is it just fun to torment me. I need to talk to someone. Hilary. Hopefully she could come over and talk to me. Maybe she understood Kai. Maybe it was best if I went over there. I wouldn't want Kai to here what I was saying. I would call Max and ask for her number.
"Hey Hilary, it's Emily. Can I come over and talk to you?"
"Sure why not. I didn't know you were in the area. It'll be great to see you again." I got in my car and drove away. It was best if I spent a little time away from Kai. He was just so annoying in his own ways. Were all boys annoying or was it just me? I didn't now.
I got the GPS function on the car to work. It mapped out the way to Hilary's so I wouldn't get lost. I think that's why the guys put that function in the car because I was a new person in the country. I arrived safely I might add. Kai was wrong, this isn't a bad neighborhood. It's pretty nice, actually.
"Hi Emily, come on in. So how do you like Japan?" Hilary was being very inviting. She lived in this mansion with her family.
"It's really nice so far. I really like my new school. I got a scholarship. It's in beyblading I'm supposed to help someone become even better than he already is. He's kind of getting under my skin. It's just frustrating."
"So who is he? Your partner, who is he?" I would have to tell her sometime if I would get her to help me.
"Kai." She spit out her tea all over the table. "I know, it surprised me too. Kai just gets under my skin. He thinks he's so superior and so great; he is but I'm just as great and he knows it. He treats me like I'm some defenseless little girl he has to protect." I wanted to keep going but I wanted to see what she thinks. He is just so bothersome.
"Kai is just having fun. At least you're getting along, well kind of. At least he's said more than hm to you. Kai doesn't know how to act around girls, it doesn't matter what kind of girl you are. He'll treat you like one of the guys until something happens. Don't take it so personal. He's being friendly. You two will adjust to having the other around and it will be great." Hilary was propobly right. "Kai has had a hard life. He thinks girls are weak and probably will until you beat him. Kai seems to like you. He's being friendly and protective. If it was anyone else he'd let you fall all over yourself."
"I understand, I guess. So you think Kai likes me?" Hilary has turned me into one of those prepy girls that Michael dates. They go what do think of my hair, do you think he likes me. I don't think the girls here are that bad but maybe they are. I just hope I don't start like that.
"Difinatly, Kai is growing out of his. Girls are weak. I don't care about girls. I don't think he like likes you but he could. You're a lot like him. You're both smart, you both are top notch bladers and you both are quiet and nice. You have a chance. I'm sure by the time you graduate you'll be a couple. I could be wrong but I'm just saying Kai has never paid attention to someone like this before." I was happy, very happy. I have always liked Kai but I kind of gave up after he kept ignoring me.
"I better get home. I should get to sleep before my first day. Kai is going to drive me to our school. He's afraid that something might happen to me on my way there. I don't mind really. He is being very nice now." I grabbed my laptop bag and went to my car.
I arrived back at the apartment center. I went up the elevator and in front of her door was Sydney pouting on her doorstep. I didn't want to bother helping her. I didn't want her to get in trouble with our floor attendant so I brought her inside.
"Kai is so like crazy. He goes hm when I say something to him and storms off." Boy did she have along way to go. She didn't get far into his life as I knew.
"Kai is just different. He's fine. He just isn't the talkative type. I don't either. I've known him for a few years so you just have to adjust to him. He changes it's just over a while. You have to learn to get along with him. I'm going to be working with him 14 hours a day for the next 2 years so I don't have a choice. He's really nice when you get to know him. Bye Sydney." Sydney was one of those girls who got sad over something everyday. She couldn't just be happy with someone who had looks and liked her. She'd get along great with Michael and the boys but not Kai.

Sorry this chapter is short but I'm really up late and I wanted to put this up instead of another Mariah and Ray fic chapter. They are about the same in chapter length. They'll get longer as the ideas come to me. I don't have many reviews on it so review, please.
Review Now.
