Me: Hey again!

Ray: Shush.

Me: Why?

Ray: Kai's sleeping.

Me: So?

Ray: Um… if you wake him up, he won't exactly be Mr. Sunshine.

Me: So?

Ray: You might not live.

Me: So?

Ray: Nevermind… I give up.

Me: That guy needs a rude awakening. Hehehehe.

Ray: I'll just do the disclaimer, alright?

Me: (distracted) Whatever.

Ray: musicnotes does not own beyblade.

Chapter 2: Bey Battles------------------------------

Kai's POV-

After checking in the hotel, the Bladebreakers brought their new bladers to a beydish in a nearby park. "Dragoon!"

"Guardian Driger!" Sora launched her beyblade. I saw Ray look at Sora in awe.

"What's up with the bitbeast?" I asked.

"Well, it's considered a very sacred bitbeast in my village. I thought it was only a legend." He replied, eyes still on Sora's beyblade.

"Dragoon!" Tyson was seriously running out of patience. Dragoon was attacking G. Driger fiercely but G. Driger showed no signs of weakening. I sighed. He obviously needed one more hour of practice.

"It seems G. Driger is enduring and healing at the same time." Dizzi announced. I raised an eyebrow. This girl is surprising me. That bites.

"Dragoon, let's end this! Victory Storm!" Dragoon glowed and closed in on G. Driger but it simply dodged.

"What?"

Sora smirked, "Guardian Driger! Heavenly Flame!" G. Driger turned gold and sent a streak of fire that pierced Dragoon and slammed it out of the stadium.

"You do know what this means, right Tyson?" I questioned lazily. He groaned.

"Extra practice?"

"Give the guy a prize." My voice dripped of sarcasm.

Ray's POV-

"How did you get Guardian Driger?" I asked Sora.

"I was lost in a forest when I was little. I was about to give up the hope of being found. Then a bitbeast emerged from the lake and sort of like protected me. My parents found me and I had Guardian Driger." She recounted.

"I'm impressed."

"It's nothing."

Kai's POV-

Lorelei faced off against Max. Ho hum. Let's hope Max surprises me. "Draciel!"

"Larrah!" It's an eagle with sharp claws. The beyblades clashed.

"Draciel, Defence Wall!" Twit. He attacked a bit too quick. Draciel sped towards Larrah.

"Larrah! Slash Speed!" Larrah disappeared when Draciel struck and appeared when Draciel was caught unawares. There was a bright spark and Draciel was knocked out of the dish. Guess I was right.

"Heh heh, um…" Max turned to me with a sheepish look on his face. "Kai?"

"Hn?"

"Um…does this concern my practice?"

"What do you think?"

"Um…yeah?"

"Amazing, Max! You guessed it!" I yawned. He sighed and the rest tittered.

"Don't forget, Tyson. You too."

"Aw man!"

"Tomorrow, flight to Russia at 10. We'll come to your hotel at 8." I told Sora.

"Gotcha."

Sora's POV-

"So, you guys want to come in for a while?" Lorelei asked when the guys walked us back to the hotel.

"We've got nothing better to do…"

"Um…that's not a straight answer."

"Okay." I unlocked the room door and we gathered in the living room.

"What do you want to do?"

"Gramps wants me to get some stuff." Tyson groaned. "Someone go with me?"

"I'll go." Kenny volunteered. I snatched up my iPod and put on my earphones. Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independent" because it's kinda like me.

Miss independent

Miss self sufficient

Miss keep your distance

Miss unafraid

Miss outta my way

Miss don't let a man interfere, no

Miss on her own

Miss almost grown

Miss never let a man help her off her throne

I sang, smiling and bobbing my head to the beat.

So, by keeping her heart protected

She'd never ever feel rejected

Little miss apprehensive

Said ooo, she fell in love

What is this feeling taking over

Thinking no one could open her door

Surprise it's time to feel what's real

What happened to Miss independent

No longer need to be defensive

Goodbye old you when love is true

I caught sight of Ray with Lorelei and I grinned slyly. Then I saw Kai and Max staring at me. I successfully held my laughter back and continued.

Miss guarded heart

Miss play it smart

Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no

But she miscalculated

She didn't want to end up jaded

And this Miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing her misconceptions

She went in a new direction

And found inside she felt a connection

She fell in love

I LOVE this song.

What is this feeling taking over

Thinking no one could open her door

Surprise it's time to feel what's real

What happened to Miss independent

No longer need to be defensive

Goodbye old you when love is true

I saw Lorelei gesture to me at Max and Kai. I nodded knowingly.

When Miss independent walked away

No time for love that came her way

She looked in the mirror and thought today

What happened to Miss no longer afraid

It took some time for her to see

How beautiful love could truly be

No more talk of why can't that be me

I'm so glad I finally see…

What is this feeling taking over

Thinking no one could open her door

Surprise it's time to feel what's real

What happened to Miss independent

No longer need to be defensive

Goodbye old you when love

when love is true

I pulled the earphones out and remarked, "When are you two going to stop gawking at me?"

"Hn." Kai said.

"Encore!" Max clapped.

"Yeah, better than Max rapping." Kai smirked. "Or trying to rap."

"I'm not that bad!"

"It sounds like Tyson opera singing." We laughed.

End Of Chapter 2…

Me: Hi you guys!"

Tyson: Hey.

Max: Hi.

Tyson: Ray! (Sees Kai sleeping.)

Ray: (startled) What?

Tyson: You didn't tell me Mr. Sunshine's sleeping!

Me: What's the big deal?

Max: We had encounters.

Tyson: Of the awakened Mr. Sunshine.

Me: Hehehe. I'm gonna wake him up in a very effective way.

Ray: (sweatdrops) Don't forget to R&R.
