WHY ME?

Jaheira1000: Hi everybody. I'm back! This is my second fic, and I don't know where it came from. It just started flowing, but I can see this is gonna be a relatively long story. I'm still currently working on my other story "Caught Between Light and Darkness" Which is also a Kai based story.

P.S. I don't own beyblade, only my story and OC's. (Almost forgot the disclaimer) :P

CHAPTER ONE: A Grudge

It was just another beautifully sunny day in Japan. The world beyblading competition held in Russia was finally over, as were the Blade-breakers problems with Boris and Biovolt. After the world championships the bladers all went to Japan. Max, Tyson and Kenny were living there anyway. Since Kai's grandfather had gone to prison, he was staying in the mansion that his family owned there. He did however, need a new guardian, and Mr Dickenson had kindly stepped into that role. Ray needed a place to stay, so Kai had offered him a suite of rooms at the mansion. There was more than enough space for him there. Unfortunately, this also meant that the rest of the Breakers viewed it as a free walk-in hotel. They spent more time at Kai's place than at their respective homes. Even though Kai had opened up more to his team, he was still a loner. This meant that he found the situation unbearable at times. Another unfortunate situation was that Mr D had enrolled both Kai and Ray in the same school that the others attended. Twenty-four hours a day of Tyson and Max was enough to send him over the edge. To escape from the monotony of this, he often took solitary walks. One of his favourite spots was a beautiful lake on his estate, which the others hadn't discovered yet. Little did he know that he was often followed when he went for walks. The ones watching him, held a grudge. He was the reason that the Breakers always defeated them. They were the Dark Bladers! Today, Kai went for a walk so that he could relax, but he wasn't able to calm down. After a while he decided to go to his lake. Once he arrived there, he stretched out on the grass to relax. After a while, he fell asleep. When Kai awoke, night had fallen. As he looked up at the sky, he saw lightning flash, and decided to get going. As he turned away from the lake he gasped. Standing before him, were the Dark Bladers! As he watched they started to chant. He backed away from them up to the edge of the lake. This was a mistake. As he reached the edge, a sharp wind picked up causing large waves in the lake. One of these swept him beneath the surface. As the Dark Bladers finished chanting their spell, something unexpected happened. While submerged, Kai was struck by the spell as well as a bolt of lightning simultaneously. The Dark Bladers looked at each other. They didn't know what effect the combination of the lakes water, lightning and spell would have, but they hoped it would be unpleasant. They had been trying to distort his spirit. Kai managed to drag himself out of the water before passing out on the bank.

As Kai stirred, he could hear voices. "What do you think happened?"

"I don't know, looks bad though."

"I wonder if we should…" The voices trailed off when they saw the person stirring. Kai opened his eyes to find himself staring at a complete stranger. He blinked a few times before sitting up. His chest felt very heavy. 'Probably swallowed a lot of water.' He thought to himself. He looked around to find the stranger who he had seen first and somebody who looked like his wife. "Where am I?" He asked in a squeaky voice. His voice surprised him, but he supposed it was just from the ordeal he had been through. His voice was probably just hoarse or something. As he took stock of his surroundings, he realised that he was in a house. The elderly man who had been standing over him said, "Well, I found you on the edge of the lake while I was on my way home. I had been looking for firewood when I got lost. It's a good thing I found you though. It looked like you had fallen into the lake." As the old man finished his narration he smiled in a friendly manner. Standing up, Kai muttered a "Thanks", before walking to the door. "Where are you going?" The woman asked. "Home." And with that, Kai started making his way out of the forest. As he walked, he realised that his clothes were very loose on his frame. The water was probably weighing it down. Oh well. He would just have to change. On his way home, Kai decided that he didn't want to be seen by anybody. He had secrets passages in the mansion that he had discovered as a child. So it was that he made his way upstairs unseen. When he reached his room, he didn't bother to look in the mirror but went straight to his closet. He had such a headache, that he was barely paying attention to anything. He didn't want to ask any of the staff for medicine, because then they would make a fuss. As he absently pulled on some old dry clothes, he once again made his way along the secret passage. He needed some alone time. At least until his voice was normal. Tyson would never let him live it down. As he strolled through the town, he noticed that a lot of people were staring at him. He was of course used to this by now, but there was something about the stares he was getting. As he made his way into the park, a group of boys waylaid him. "Hello there beautiful." The obvious leader smirked. Kai was slightly shocked by this but thought to himself, 'Geez, gay much?' Looking at the jerk who was looking him over in a suggestive manner, Kai said, "Sorry, I'm really not interested." The others in the group snickered. "And who says we're giving you a choice?" Kai looked at the group thoughtfully. He wasn't one to boast of his accomplishments, but he was rather muscular looking. Especially in comparison to these guys. Did they really think he was a push-over? As the 'leader' approached him Kai swung into action. He grabbed the punks arm and, swinging the dork over his shoulder, slammed him into the ground. The rest of the group backed away and Kai walked on smirking. Seeing how full the park was, he decided against it and turned to leave. As he walked by, the thugs practically fell over one another trying to run away. As Kai kept on walking, he got the feeling that something was incredibly wrong. Everywhere he went, guys stopped to stare at him. He even attracted a bunch of catcalls and wolf-whistles. Wondering whether the whole city had gone mad, he made his way home. He used his house key so that he didn't have to wait for somebody to open the door. On entering the house he was shocked. It was chaos everywhere. Walking up to Alfred the butler he squeaked, "What's going on here?". Alfred whipped around, stared for a moment then barked, "Who do you think you are?" Kai stepped back in surprise. The other Breakers came running at the sound of Alfred's heated exclamation. As they screeched to a halt they stared at Kai as if they were in a trance. 'Oh great, not them too.' Kai thought to himself. He glared at the Breakers and barked out, "What are you staring at?" Alfred came up to Kai and gripped his arm tightly. "Don't talk to master Kai's friends like that! You're the intruder here, so explain yourself or leave." Ok, if this was somebody's idea of a sick joke, he had had enough. Crossing his arms over his chest, he was about to speak when he realised that something was wrong. He knew that he was muscular, but his chest had never been THAT big. Looking down he poked his chest. He saw an indent where his finger was. Suddenly he had a horrible suspicion. Lifting his other hand, he poked the other side of his chest. There was another indent. Swallowing hard he turned slowly towards one of the large mirrors in the entrance. What he saw reflected there made him pass right out.

Tyson felt like he was dreaming. There was a drop-dead gorgeous chick standing in the entrance of Kai's house, acting as if it was her own home. She had the most stunning figure imaginable, nice long legs, a beautiful heart-shaped face, Crimson eyes, and two-toned hair. Frowning slightly, he realised that she looked like a female version of Kai. Her hair came to her knees, and she was wearing clothes very similar to those that Kai usually wore. As he watched the girl poking her chest, he wondered what she was doing. As she turned slowly towards a mirror he thought he caught a glimpse of fear in her eyes. Then as she collapsed on the floor in a dead faint, all the Breakers rushed forward. They all stared at her as if they still couldn't believe that she was real.

Max, just as dumb struck, followed as Alfred picked up the now unconscious girl and placed her on one of the sofas. He couldn't wait for her to wake up again. He wondered what her name was. He had never seen a girl quite like her before. She reminded him somewhat of their team captain Kai. She had the same hair and eyes. Max moved closer to the sofa as she started to stir.

Ray was just as disbelieving as the others. He watched as the girl slowly stirred and opened her eyes. She blinked a few times, before sitting up fast. He moved closer to try and help her, but noticed that both Tyson and Max had had the same thought. She was a beautiful girl, so he was sure that they were having all kinds of thoughts. But not him. No. Really.

'Please let it all be a dream. When I wake up, I'm going to be in my bed, as myself. I am NOT a girl!' As Kai opened his eyes, he groaned. He was lying on a sofa in the living room of his mansion. If the look on Alfred's face didn't tell him the awful truth, the looks on the faces of his team-mates did. He was still a girl. As he blinked a few times Alfred came towards him with a frowning look. Kai forestalled him with one sentence. "When the Phoenix dies, it will rise again from the ashes to rule again. He will not look the same, but it is still the mighty one." Kai thought about the irony of that sentence as Alfred stood still as a statue. A look of horror came across his face as he realised what this meant. It was a code that he and his master had developed when Kai was still a child. They had pretended that he was impersonated by an evil person and would have to memorise that sentence to show that he was the real one. That meant… Kai nodded grimly at Alfred. "What happened?" He asked, still slightly in shock. The Breakers were looking confused by what was passing between the two. He gave Alfred a short run-down of what had occurred at the lake. Ending with, "…and when I woke up, I was like this." The Breakers were looking confused. Did Alfred know this girl? Tyson stepped forward. "I think it's time for introductions. My name is…"

"Tyson." She interrupted. "Yeah and I'm…"

"Max." She said again. "And that one is Ray. I already know you and you already know me." The Breakers looked at each other, all thinking the same thing. If they knew her, they would definitely have remembered her. "Do we know her Alfred?" Tyson asked bluntly. The servant nodded and said, after seeing a discreet nod from Kai, "That, is Master Kai."

Jaheira1000: So, what do you think? Please remember to review, it's what I live for!

Kai: You're so pathetic!

Jaheira1000:Runs after Kai with a kitchen knife

(What's he doing there anyway?) :P
