Rating: If it changes, you'll notice. Trust me.
Notes: Feels really bad Okay. So my friend is lending me Dogs Body. And I really want to finish Chapter 13 like I said would when I got the book. But I'd forgotten how much trouble I was having with the chapter until now. It's so BORING. I don't WANT to type the boring chapter ;.; Frustrating. I see why I got so mad at it before o.o But I PROMISE. It will be up before Sunday. I PROMISE you that. If I break the promise...I don't know what you can do but you can do something. o.o Okay? Spam my email or something. I don't know. meanwhile, I'm going to spend my cool-down time updating my other fics. Yes. I added about two paragraphs to what I already had of Chapter 13 and I got immediatly annoyed with it. Ow. It hurts to type without nails o.o I peeled them off because my index fingers weren't even half as long as my others. And WHY am I telling you this? Yeah. Dunno. X.x As of now, I don't even know what fic this chapter is for. Have to go sort through and figure out what my first priorities are. I think I ought to do HoW before anything. Then Dranzer after that...Then...United, WoD, OE. Blood Reaper will be amongst those somewhere but I'm not too worried about that. No one likes Sessh/Inu yaoi anyway so I'm not too concerned about getting the next chapter up for that. Though, the few people who have wanted more seem to really want it. I agree with them. ;.; There isn't enough Sessh/Inu out there to satisfy a flea...Yeah...Anyway. Moving on...
Chapter 13
-Did you know that it's going to be really weird having Rei as a spotter- Dranzer said to Kai as they watched the green flag come out from their position in 13th place.
"I know everything." Kai responded. Rei wasn't sure if he was in a good or bad mood, so he chose not to say anything for a while.
-Uh-huh. Do you know how long it took for Kyra to get me out of the engine last weekend- Dranzer challenged.
"Two hours and seventeen minutes." Kai responded.
-She told you-
"So? I never said I always know everything. She told me so I continue to know everything"
-Who's going to win the race- Dranzer asked.
"Concentrate and ask again"
-What-
"You sound like an eight-ball, Kai." Rei commented.
"Cannot predict now." Kai responded.
-Who will you marry-
"Better not tell you now." Kai said, sliding easily past Jeff Gordon and up behind Kasey Kahne.
-Did you memorize everything the eight-ball says or something-
"My reply is no"
"Liar." Rei said. "Watch out. Jeff's coming around on the inside." Rei warned.
"Damnit. My threat stands. You touch my paint- I kill you." Kai said, managing to block Jeff from passing him as they came around turn three. "Who's our leader, love?" Kai asked.
"Kevin Harvick with Matt Kenseth about a second behind him"
"Kevin strong today?" Kai asked.
"Not stronger than Kasey or yourself. I don't know what car Kenny's got you using but, whatever it is, it's liking the track." Rei said.
"We always did like Talladega." Kai commented.
-You do, I don't-
"Why not"
-Because. We had our first crash here. I haven't quite forgiven it for that.- Dranzer replied.
"I thought we had our first crash when you decided to take control during our first practice." Kai said.
-I try not to remember that. I was young and stupid-
Kai chose not to comment on that.
-Kai-
"Yes"
-You aren't supposed to agree with me-
"Who said I did? I didn't say a thing"
"We know you, Kai." Rei laughed. "And keep it up. Matt and Kevin are just around this turn. At this rate, you'll catch up to them in no time." Rei encouraged.
"Why can't you always be my spotter?" Kai asked him.
"Because I love racing too much to sit up here and watch you go in circles"
"Ovals. Mostly ovals"
"I know"
"And you know it's not just going around in circles. People don't understand racing. It's so much more than that. Once you pick a driver to follow and root for, you're hooked. Once you're hooked, you start to understand how exciting it can be. Especially crashes or the end of a race when your driver's SO close to winning but that other driver is right up there with them, racing them to the finish. THAT'S what racing it. The fans, the drivers, and the excitement. Next person who says it's jsut going in circles is going to be strapped into one of these and I'll MAKE them see what it's really like." Kai said.
"I agree. Completely. And, besides, it isn't an easy sport. Nor is it exactly the safest." Rei said.
"Yeah. Look at you, for example"
"I don't like being an example. Great job passing Matt, by the way." Rei said.
"Thanks"
"Hey, Kai?" Rei said.
"Yeah"
"If you win this, I'm going to strangle you." Rei said.
"Why"
"You are not allowed to win a race if I'm not out there with you, got it"
"Not yet. The threat of being strangled doesn't concern me much"
"Tell what would"
"I don't know"
-Did you two know that Drigger and I can both talk to either of you- Dranzer asked.
"No." They chorused. "And why bring that up now?" Kai asked.
-We forgot-
"Ah"
-Anyway. I know something that might keep him from winning.- Dranzer said.
"I don't think I want to hear this." Kai said.
"Do tell." Rei answered.
-If you win, you lose the paint scheme.- Drigger's voice answered for Dranzer.
-Hey, Drigger.- Dranzer greeted fondly.
"I don't care WHAT you say. NO ONE touches my paint. NO ONE." Kai said.
"I wouldn't dare. I don't know what you'd do to me if I did." Rei said.
"Many things"
"Uhm...Yeah. I think I've acquired a slightly sick mind from Tyson. Someone shoot me"
"That's NOT what I meant"
"I know! Inside Kai, inside." Rei said.
Kai came up next to Kevin on the inside and the two began to fight for first. Kai won that fight just as the caution came out for debris on the track.
"You need to come in, Kai." Rei said.
"Mmkay." Kai's pit stall was farther down pit road, closer to the end than the middle. The way there seemed to take forever and Kai was frustrated when he got there. But his pit crew worked quickly and he was out with a 14 second pit-stop. (A/N: Yes, it's possible. I think the average is around 15 seconds. And a second between cars is actually not that close, believe it or not. o.o)
Kai came out of the pits in third and his frustration vanished pretty fast. (A/N: I can no longer type or read 'pits' and not think of 'arm pits)
The remaining 50 laps were uneventful. The Beyblade car slowed down a bit and Kai was unable to reclaim his position in first. He ended up finished in fifth while Dranzer was having a long discussion about pit-stops with Drigger.
"Great race, Kai. Glad you didn't win." Rei said.
"Yeah, Rei. I love you, too." Kai responded.
Rei laughed. "Meet you in the garage, koi"
"Yeah."
o.o Shortshortshort. I know! But I haven't watched a race in awhile so I don't have inspiration. Besides, it isn't as fun without Rei in the race. And my left, middle finger hurts. I think I peeled the nail off to far. Yeah. Anyway. I'm REALLY tempted to do a fanfic crossover between Beyblade and The Obsidian Chronicles. I think it'd be fun to make The BladeBreakers into dragonhearts . That'd be cool. I wont read the third book if I do write one because I don't want to know if they find a cure to being a dragonheart. O.o For those of you who are wondering what a dragonheart is (probably all of you), they are humans who have swallowed a mix of venom and human blood. This extends their life by another thousand years or so and they become immune to poison and disease. But, from the moment that they swallow the mixture, a dragon starts to grow inside them (I think they grow in their hearts) and, near the end of those thousand or so years, the dragon leaves the dragonheart's body(Killing the dragonheart) and they are supposed to grow from that point as dragon. I say supposed to because, where I am at in the second book, The Dragon Society, Arlian (The main character, AKA Lord Obsidian named after the only thing that is known to be able to pierce a dragon's hide) has killed two of the dragons that just came out of their dragonheart's bodies and one of the other dragonhearts committed suicide. . You guys should actually read the book. I don't know if the first book, Dragon Weather, is any good because I haven't read it, but The Dragon Society is pretty good. It starts out REALLY slow and kind of boring but it gets REALLY good right around page 90 or something. I dunno. Whenever he has his conversation with Lord Hardior. Yes, I know. It wont be as good now, since I explained a bunch to you... But I DIDN'T tell you which dragonhearts died and stuff. :P So, yeah. I'll think about it. . Meanwhile, I have my hands full with about nine total fics. o.o Scary. REALLY scary. I'm overloading. Obsidian Estate will actually be over soon. War of Darkness is FAR from being over...:) IB is pretty close. Once I get past Ch. 13. Dranzer...I'm not sure. I don't have a set plan for that. I'm kind of letting my hands do the work with that. . Let's see. United isn't going to be done any time soon. Hell on Wheels...We're not even half-way through the racing season. So, you can expect that to last. Communication... Same as Dranzer... let's see. Blood Reaper. I have no clue how long that'll last. . Then there's the TalaxRei I'm going to be doing for Dev. Still needing an idea for that. o.o Both of us are struggling to find something for that. I need to type a sequel to Chance Meeting and A Youko's Journal...Okay. Enough of that. o.o Thanks for reading and please review! IB WILL BE BACK IN BUSINESS SOON! Later! 3333
