Chapter 2 - Battle in School

"Kai? Kai!"

The blue haired teen heard his name being called, but couldn't take his eyes off the figure.

"No...it can't be..." He shook his head frantically. "He's gone!"

Suddenly, a bus sped by, and the figure had disappeared.

"Wha..." Kai stared, his eyes darting all over the place, trying to find that figure again.

"Kai!" Hilary's voice finally broke through as she grabbed his arm.

He stared at her, somewhat bewildered before quickly regaining his composure.

"Hn?"

The brunette sighed. "We'll talk about this later." She whispered and continued up the street.

Kai turned the key to his apartment door and stepped inside. Setting his keys on the kitchen counter, he slammed the door shut with his foot and locked it.

With a sigh, he headed for the bathroom medicine cabinet.

Taking out a small bottle of pills, he closed the cabinet as stared at himself in the mirror for a few moments.

"I have to be seeing things again...it's just not possible!" He told himself, swallowing two of the tiny pills in one gulp.

With a sigh, he proceeded into the connecting bedroom to change into a more comfortable outfit, and decided to turn in early.

The next day was Tuesday, and everyone found themselves, once again, walking to school for the second time, and having to listening to Tyson complain about the uniforms.

"Seriously Tyson...if you hate it that much, why don't you just get your grandpa to home school you or something!" Hilary was quickly losing her patience.

"Are you kidding me!" The navy haired teen exclaimed. "That would be like having to train with Kai for the WHOLE day!"

"Like you are already?" A sarcastic voice came from behind, making the whiny teen nearly jump out of his skin.

"Oh! Good morning Kai!" Hilary smiled.

Tyson grabbed his heart. "Don't EVER do that again!"

"That was bad Tyson...maybe you SHOULD be training with him everyday." Kenny's voice came in.

"Don't even joke chief. Besides, I get enough of it from my PE coach anyway." Tyson crossed his arms over his chest in a proud manner. "Seriously, you'd think the guy works for Boris or something!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain ran through his chest as Hilary elbowed him in the ribs.

Tyson immediately just realized what he had said, and turned around to explain himself to Kai.

"Heh..." A smirk came across Kai's face. "At least SOMEONE'S doing their job."

The older teen started walking down the street in front of the group.

Everyone let out a soft sigh.

"I didn't expect THAT to happen..."

The four beybladers got to all their classes on time, and the rest of the day seemed to go by as usual.

During lunch time, however, was when things began to heat up.

Tyson, Hilary, and Kai were all eating their lunch outside today. Kenny though had a different lunch period and had already ate.

They were seated at a picnic table next to a large tree, except for Kai, who was on the ground leaning against the trunk of the tree with his eyes closed and arms cushioning his head.

Their peace was interrupted as a large teenage boy trotted up to their table, a proud smirk on his face.

"So it IS true! The two strongest bladers in Japan really DO attend this school!"

Kai cracked open an eye and glared at the heavyweight teen.

The boy met his stare with his proud smirk. "And you, Kai, I've heard rumors about you!"

Tyson and Hilary glared at the intruder, expecting a fight to break out soon.

"Is there something you want? Or are you just letting out hot gas?" Came Kai's cool reply.

The boy didn't like that at all, and immediately growled at the older teen.

"I challenge you! NOW!" He held out his blade to Kai, who only snorted.

"Sorry. Not interested."

"WHAT?"

"Heh heh." Tyson stood up from his seat. "If you're itching to battle THAT much...I'LL except your challenge."

The large teen pondered it for a moment.

"Fine! As long as I can show up ONE of you!"

"Um...Tyson? Do you really think this is a good idea?" Hilary asked.

"Let them be. Tyson probably needs the practice." Kai answered, crossing his arms over his chest.

"3...2...1...LET IT RIP!"

The two bladers launched their blades and immediately rushed for each other.

"Lets go Dragoon! Show him what we're made of!"

The white beyblade slammed into the black one, sending it back a foot.

The large teen growled. "Attack already! Don't let him win!"

His black beyblade headed after Dragoon.

Tyson met the opponent half way, and the two blades rammed at each other.

"How unamuzing..." Kai sighed, closing his eyes again.

"What are you doing Kai? The battle just started!" Hilary put her hands on her hips.

"And it will end in a few seconds..."

Kai was right.

Dragoon suddenly pulled back and rammed into its opponent full force, sending it flying past its owner.

"Oh shoot!" Tyson gasped.

The blade was headed toward a large pipe connected to the school building.

Kai got to his feet, prepared to divert the blade, but it was too late.

The black beyblade collided with the pipe and shattered it.

The four teen could only stare as water spewed out of the pipe and shot straight into the air.

"Crap..."

Kai and Hilary suddenly began walking toward the entrance of the school.

"Well...would you look at the time!" Tyson glanced at the invisible watch on his wrist as he scooped up Dragoon. "Gotta run!"

With that, he took off running to catch up with his friends.

"Hey!" The remaining teen called after him, but it was no use.

He quickly grabbed his defeated blade and ran away, hoping that he wouldn't get caught.

Kai, Hilary and Tyson all walked calmly into their next class and sat in their assigned seats.

"Tyson! Would you stop snickering!" Hilary whispered. "It wasn't THAT funny!"

"Oh but it was! Did you see the look on that guy's face?"

The bell rang, and the class fell silent. They all waited patiently for their teacher, but he never came. Pretty soon, the class began getting restless again.

"I guess there's some kind of problem..." Tyson suddenly said out loud.

"Oh no..." Kai started, sarcasm dripping from his words. "A broken water main wouldn't EVER cause a problem."

"Idiot..." Hilary snickered.

After about five minutes, their teacher walked in.

"Sorry class...but there has been an unfortunate problem. The school's water line has been severed, and it will take a few days to be repaired, so, the principal feels that it's wise to cancel the rest of the week's classes until the pipe in repaired."

At this, the entire class burst into cheers and rushed out into the halls.

"Um...have a nice day?"

You see? Stupid chapter... and cruddy place to end...oh well
