Chapter 2: Meeting Tala

When Kai and Sakura arrived at the house, Sakura's jaw dropped open as she came upon a 7-STORY HOUSE!

"WHOA! You live here!" Sakura asked, the shock in her voice obvious.

"Yeah… Kinda small, huh?" Kai said.

"HECK NO! It's huge! How do you manage to keep it clean?" she asked.

Kai shrugged his shoulders while walking inside.

Sakura blinked and hit her forehead.

"That was a stupid question!" she mumbled to herself.

Then Sakura followed Kai inside and once she got in, her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped open again.

"WOW! This place is ENORMOUS!" Sakura shouted.

"Yeah, well, don't get too attached. You'll be staying in the West Wing. It has 20 sleeping rooms, 7 restrooms and 1 library." Kai said.

"WHAT! I get all of THAT! SWEET!" Sakura said.

"Hmph! Whatever." Kai said curtly as he walked up to the East Wing and Sakura heard a loud slam.

"Looks like somebody's having a lousy day..." Sakura mumbled to herself.

She then started walking up to the West Wing to find a room to stay in. When she found a room, she quickly got into bed and fell asleep in an instant, since she hasn't slept for a long time.

After many hours later, Sakura woke up from the sunlight shining in her eyes. She looked at the clock to see that it was 9:00 in the morning.

"It's too early for me to wake up." she said, the sleepiness in her voice obvious.

"LET IT RIP!" she heard someone shout.

She sat up and looked out the window to see Kai practicing his beyblading with his Dranzer blade.

Sakura then saw someone with him. A boy with red hair and violet eyes. It was none other than Tala!

"Attack, Wolborg!" Tala shouted as his blade hit Kai's head on.

"Dranzer! Finish him!" Kai ordered as his blade attack Tala's hard, causing it to fly out of the stadium.

Then Kai's blade flew to his hand. Tala picked up his blade and couldn't help but smirk.

Sakura went outside to see what was going on.

"Hey, what's going on?" she called out to them as she walked towards them.

Kai looked away from her, pretending that she wasn't there. Tala looked at her and smirked slyly.

"And who might you be?" he asked.

Sakura looked at Tala, smiling.

"The name's Sakura Himuri! Nice to meet you!" she said and bowed.

"The name's Tala!" he introduced.

Kai didn't say anything as he walked back inside. Sakura and Tala just stood there watching him.

"I didn't know you had a girlfriend, Kai!" Tala said teasingly.

Kai stopped in his tracks and glared at Tala, fire in his eyes while Sakura just stood there blushing at the remark.

"She's not my girlfriend." Kai said bitterly as he walked inside, slamming the door.

Sakura looked down; feeling hurt at what Kai said but quickly removed the hurt away.

Tala blinked a bit. "Sheesh! Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed!" he said with an annoyed look on his face.
