Okay! This is chapter two uhm…nothing really to say except that this may start a little bit slow…okay ENJOY!
Arrival in Japan
"SO! This is Japan...just like I remember it," Rayne said trying to get her bearings.
"Yes. Allow me to take you to your hotel and then I am going to take you to meet some people, okay?"
"Okay. Lets go!" They went and they got into a limo, because that's the way Mr. Dickinson liked to travel, and went off to the hotel. On the way Rayne noticed that this wasn't a very big town. Actually, it was quite the opposite; it was a tiny quiet town where it looked like nothing really exciting ever happened.
"Mr. Dickinson. You are a very smart man," Rayne said.
"Oh. Why do you say that?" He asked.
"Well," Rayne replied, "You decided to have the beyblading tournament here, in a small town where nothing really happens. Since you put it here, this town gets lots of tourism and such for a while and it builds up the town."
"Yeah…" Mr. Dickinson said agreeing with her plan. They arrived at the hotel and Mr. Dickinson showed her to her room and when she got there she felt quite at home. That hotel looked almost exactly like her room; except a bit brighter. With a big window where she could sit down and look out of it, a nice big comfy bed and a big dresser.
"Mr. Dickinson," Rayne said.
"Yes?" came his reply.
"Can I have a nap before we go and see these people?" she asked while taking off her boots.
"Yes, I'll leave you to your sleep," He replied as he closed the door and Rayne fell into a deep slumber.
When she woke up she put her boots back on and went looking for Mr. Dickinson. She went downstairs and saw that he wasn't there so she decided to go ask the desk-man if he knew where Mr. Dickinson went.
"Excuse me sir," Rayne said in a child-like voice, "Do you know where Mr. Dickinson is?"
"Are you Rayne Siegel?" he asked.
"Yes," came her reply.
"He asked me to give this to you," the deskman said in a bored-flat tone as he handed her a map.
"Thanks," She said and ran out of the hotel.
"Okay. So I turn left here and go this way. Turn down Main Street and then I should find the beyblade hobby shop," Rayne mumbled to herself, as she turned down Main Street. As she walked down Main Street she spotted the Beyblade hobby shop with Mr. Dickinson's limo in front of it. 'Thank god! I found it!' she thought to herself. She went up and knocked onto the door and a blonde boy answered it.
"Hello," The boy said rather cheerfully, "you must be Rayne Siegel. I'm Max come on in, we've been expecting you."
"Uh… thanks! Nice to meet you Max." Rayne said a little bewildered and followed Max in. Max led her upstairs into the kitchen where she saw Mr. Dickinson, a red haired boy who was happily typing away at his laptop, a blue haired boy with a red-white-blue hat talking to the redhead, and who she guessed was Max's dad.
"Nice to see you Rayne," Mr. Dickinson said with a grin. Which Rayne replied with a nod.
"So you're Rayne Siegel," the redhead inquired. "My name is Kenny and this here is Dizzy, my lap top."
"Pleasure," said Dizzy.
"Pleasure meeting you too," Rayne replied.
"What's so special about her?" The blue haired boy said with a bit of a sneer, "'common! She's only a girl. What would she know about beyblading?"
"A lot more than you do," Rayne retorted shortly.
"Oh yeah, wanna beybattle?" He said.
"Why not. Then we can se who really will win, oh and by the way. What is your name?"
"Tyson, you'll remember that when I beat you!"
"You wont beat me, I'm sure of it."
"I really don't think that it would be a wise thing to battle her right now Tyson. Mr. Dickinson sent her here to help train us, and besides, I haven't even had time to find any of her data on my computer!"
"Kenny, did you say your name was? Well Kenny, you wont find anything about me on that computer. I haven't bladed in any competitions or anything like that. Just with my friends. And besides, you're friend here probably wont take no for an answer," Rayne informed him.
"Are we gonna do this or what?" Tyson whined.
"Of course!" Rayne said. They all went down to the basement where Max kept his beyblading dish. Rayne and Tyson got into their positions around the dish.
"3…2…1…LET IT RIP!" Max yelled, and Tyson and Rayne let go of their beyblades. The beyblades spun in the dish and Tyson decided to make the first move.
"Okay Dragoon use storm attack!" Right when he said that a big tornado started to appear.
"Tricky, but it wont save you. Pholan, wolf storm!" Rayne yelled and a huge ice storm happened and the dish was covered in ice, which made Tyson's blade slip and slide a little. "Okay Pholan now, ATTACK WITH WOLF CLAW!" Which he did and not only knocked Tyson's blade out of the dish, but froze it as well!
"Nooo! Dragoon!" Tyson yelled in sorrow as he picked up his frozen beyblade. Rayne walked over to him and said,
"You need to be trained up a bit, Tyson! But you're not as bad as I thought you were," She said trying to cheer him up.
Tyson was silent as he tried to defrost his beyblade.
"Rayne?" Kenny asked.
"Yes." She replied.
"Can I put your beyblade's data on my computer? Just so I have it?" he asked eagerly.
"Sorry Kenny. But no, I hardly even know you, and it could get broken into and stolen and all kinds of things so not at the moment Kenny, maybe another time."
"Okay…" he said kind of sombre which made Rayne feel bad.
Mr. Dickinson and Rayne stayed over at Max's house for dinner where they talked about how Rayne was going to help train them.
"Well at least its not the first time I've lost and had something bad happen to my blade," Tyson said sounding much happier.
"Oh yeah. Who was the first?" Rayne asked.
"Kai." He replied. Rayne dropped her fork and said,
"Kai Hiwateri?"
"Yeah, leader of the blade sharks. You know him? Tyson asked.
"A long time ago. But he wouldn't remember me now," She replied with a sigh. Because of her reaction they decided that they wouldn't press the matter.
"So Rayne. Where are you from?" Max asked.
"Well, I came here from Germany, but I was born in Ireland. My mother was Irish and my father was Italian. My father's father was none other than Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel, the man who started Vegas. My grandfather died before my father was born so, he never really got to meet him. My father took me away from my mother, I never really knew why, we went to Russia where we stayed at this beyblading academy thing and he ended up dying when I was four…then I got landed at the Jurgens' about a year later because of an accident. And I've lived there for 10 years."
"Well, uhm, that's er…nice," was all Max could say.
"It's okay. So could you tell me where I could find Kai?"
"Well…the preliminaries are tomorrow so…he would probably be at the wear house training," replied Tyson.
"Could you tell me how to get there and perhaps draw me a map?" Rayne asked sweetly.
"Yes. I can," Kenny said and he drew the map.
"Here Rayne, take this, my number is on speed dial #1. Just in case you run into trouble," Mr. Dickinson said while giving her a cell phone.
"Thanks for the dinner Mr. Tate, and nice battle Tyson. I will see you at the prelims tomorrow. Bye!" She said and was off.
She was right in front of the wear house and she heard beyblades clanging she looked in and there he was, Kai, in all his glory. She climbed up onto the roof and she found a hole and climbed onto a rafter. She sat there and watched the beybattle until every last one left until it was only Kai. She watched him launch his beyblade and as soon as he did so did she.
"Huh?" Kai said as a beyblade came and knocked his blade out of the dish as well as itself. "Show yourself!" He yelled.
Rayne jumped down and looked up at him. She saw the look on his face when he saw it was a girl, or was it something else.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Rayne Siegel. No need to ask yours. You're rather famous around here Kai Hiwateri," She replied with a smirk.
'Do I know her from somewhere?'
"What gives you the right to bother me while I'm trying to train?"
"Nothing. I was just curious about you. You don't seem like any normal blader," Rayne said slightly hurt that he didn't remember her even though she knew that he wouldn't.
"I see," he said dropping his guard a little, "Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar."
"Do you know me from somewhere?" she asked trying to get him to remember.
"I don't believe so, but you do look rather familiar."
"Well, I don't believe that I know you Kai," She said walking just inches away from him, "But you look rather familiar to me too," She said in a small, soft voice and then ran because she started to cry.
On her way back to the hotel she heard a ruckus in an alley and it sounded as if a man was hurt. She went and looked and found a dead man…
That is the end of Chapter two, thanks for reading! Tell me what you think so… R&R! So bye!
