Chapter 3

Preparations

Zhino woke up at four o'clock in the morning because of a bad dream. He couldn't get back to sleep so he got dressed and then went outside. He was trying to figure out what happened yesterday. Let's see, his thoughts were wondering though his brain, Shadia was injured by her brother and then joined up with us. Uh, maybe I should get some practice in.

Ray soon spotted Zhino and asked, still partly asleep," What are you doing up this early, Zhino?"

"Can't sleep, Ray," Zhino replied," Oh and you can call me Zhinny, if you want to."

"Okay." Ray responded, completely awake," Hey Zhinny. How come Shadia didn't answer my question the other night?"

"She hates talking about her jackass family."

"Why?" Ray was curious about Shadia.

"Her family treated her like shit."

"Oh so that's why." Ray's voice was filled with depression. He now had an understanding of why Shadia didn't answer his question. "I guess she's the quiet one of your group or something."

"Yeah," Zhino whispered, "She's kind of like Kai, but a whole lot friendlier."

After what Zhino said everything went into a complete state of silence until Zhino decided to launch his beyblade. Soon after Ray joined in.

"Okay I hate school so sue me!" Tyson screamed.

"I like third hour don't get me wrong," Zhino had a happiness to his voice while speaking, "but I fell asleep in that class."

"Really," Ray was surprised," for me it was second hour."

Shadia, Max, and Tyson started giggling.

Brandon and Zeo met up with the others at the end of the street. After about five minutes Zeo asked," Where is Kai?"

"Oh," Ray said, "he goes to a boarding school."

"I feel sorry for him," Zeo said with a little sadness.

"Trust me we all do," Tyson said sarcastically.

"Hey Shadia do you have the answer to number five?" Zhino asked.

Shadia responded, "Yeah."

"Hey guys." Kenny said as he ran through the door. (he finally got back from his vacation in Hawaii) "I heard about what's going on. Who are you two?"

"Oh. I'm Shadia and this is Zhino," Shadia was proud to say this.

"Hi, I'm Kenny, but everyone around here calls me, Chief." Kenny was shocked that there were two new members of the Bladebreakers. "Well anyway," Kenny continued, "I thought cold practice a little bit more, just incase Zagart pulls any tricks during the bey-battle."

Zhino and Shadia looked at each other confused. They had no idea what Kenny was about to make them do.

Just then Brandon walked into the room and asked, "What is going on here?"

Shadia explained who Kenny was and what was going on. Then after she explained everything to Brandon she went back to doing her homework. "The answer is twenty-six, Zhino." Shadia told him the answer.

The following day was Saturday. Everyone, except for Tyson, was up at eight o'clock in the morning.

Kenny said to everyone, "Okay everyone I made a great training schedule based on what Brandon told me last night. There will be no slackers either."

"Oh come on," Shadia complained, "I mean I don't know about you Zhino but I know that Tava and I can take on anything."

"Who's Tava?" Tyson asked.

Brandon replied, "Her bit-beast don't get it pissed off though."

"Shadia I don't care what you think," Kenny argued with her, "you are going to follow my training schedule."

Shadia responded, "Whatever, I'm going outside."

As she stormed out the door Kai followed her. He stops at the door hides because he hears her singing. He immediately thought, Is this the song she was going to sing for the talent show.

Shadia continued her song:

"I'm not meant to play this part. Now I see that if I were truly to be myself. I would break my family's heart. Who is that girl I see, Staring straight back at me, Why is my reflection some one I don't know Some how I cannot hide who I am though I've tried. When will my reflection show who I am inside. When will my reflection show who I am inside."

Shadia then launched her beyblade on her reflection in the water and then have it land in the dish.

Kai was extremely amazed. He then walks up out and asks, "Can you teach me how to do that Shadia?"

"Sure," Shadia replies.

Kai walks on over to her. He was a bit nervous because he was taught anything by a girl before.

"Okay," Shadia spoke, "show me your launch stance." Kai went into his launch stance. Shadia then told him, "Flip your launcher so that your beyblade faces the sky." Kai did as he was told. "Now," Shadia continued, "switch your launcher from your right hand to your left hand while keeping it faced to the sky." Again Kai did as he was told. "Loosen your right arm. If you launch it with that much strength your beyblade would be lost in the water." Shadia told him. "now let it rip."

"Let it rip." Kai said.

Dranzer(the beyblade) bounced off the water and into the dish.

Kai was proud of himself, and was proud of him. Kai and Shadia hugged.

Kai's P.O.V.

Wow! I can't believe I did that. Thanks to Shadia. I don't know why but I love her. I wonder if she feels the same why about me.

Normal P.O.V.

At the same time Ray walking around the house thinking. He was completely shocked when he saw Kai and Shadia hugging. Could Kai actually be falling in love with Shadia, Ray was thinking, Kai has never shown any other emotion besides being stubborn and angry. Ray then walked inside and to Tyson and Brandon, "You guys won't believe what I just saw."

Tyson asked Ray, "What?"

Brandon also asks, "Yeah. What?"

"Kai and Shadia were hugging," Ray replied.

No way, Brandon thought, I had no idea. She doesn't like to be annoyed or bothered that much and knowing Kai's personality he probably likes her.
