HELLO! The eleventh chapter is here! YAY! everyone cheers

Kai- sweat drops

Kai- Disclaimer: She doesn't own Beyblade. Only the crazy and Ryan.

Oh, and for those who don't like punk-rock, here is a warning. There is a Linkin Park song in this chapter. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads-up!

Chapter 11

The Blade Breakers, All Stars, White Tigers, and the Majestics all were standing around in a deserted part of the park, watching the two lone figures staring each other down. Kai and Ryan never took their eyes off of one another, their blades spinning by their sides.

"You ready for this, Phoenix?" Ryan asked. He almost felt like backing up when he saw his friend give him a smirk that sent chills down his spine. It was the same smirk Phoenix always had right before a combat battle. This was going to be good.

"Let's go," Kai said emotionlessly, relaxing his body, his shoulders loose and ready at the same time. He bent over and slipped his shoes off of his feet, socks too. He then took his belt off and slipped his shirt off over his head.

"Still like to fight in only your pants?" Ryan cocked his head to the side. Phoenix had always fought light. It was easier to move around in.

Kai smiled and threw his stuff behind him.

Ryan smirked again and went over to Michael. "Play this in your player," he said, handing him a disk.

Michael nodded, popping in the CD, causing everyone to look at the two in the middle.

-Sometimes I

need to remember just to breathe-

Kai's smile got bigger as his old friend started towards the left. The phoenix inside him told him to stay still and watch his surroundings.

-Sometimes I

need you stay away from me-

Ryan's movements got into rhythm, signaling that he was ready to strike.

-sometimes I'm

in disbelief I didn't know-

Kai moved to the side, dodging Ryan's punch to the head.

-somehow I

need you to go

Don't Stay

forget our memories

forget our possibilities

what you were changing me into

(just give me myself back and)-

As he dodged Ryan's punch, he bent down and drove his elbow backwards, almost hitting him, but didn't as Ryan front-flipped over the blow, swinging his legs around when he landed on his hand. Kai ducked and threw his feet out and knocked the other boy's wrist. On any other person, it would have broken the bone, but not someone who had already almost every one in their body broken.

-Don't Stay

forget our memories

forget our possibilities

take on the faintless of you-

Ryan used the knock to his advantage and rolled, his foot hitting the phoenix's mouth, knocking him away. Kai flipped and landed on his heels, straightening up while running his hand across his chin, wiping away the small trickle of blood.

-(just give me myself back and)

Don't Stay-

He smirked.

-Sometimes I

feel like I trusted you too well-

Jerking back, he dodged another hit to the head.

-sometimes I

just feel like screaming at myself-

Whipping his arm around his head, he used his elbow to drive into Ryan's shoulder, sending the teen away.

-sometimes I'm

in disbelief I didn't know-

Ryan landed lightly, rubbing the sore spot.

-somehow I

need to be alone-

Kai felt the heat surge through his body, Dranzer's fire consuming his soul.

-Don't Stay

forget our memories

forget our possibilities

what you were changing me into

(just give me myself back and)-

Ryan watched in disbelief as Kai called on Dranzer's energy, sending flames all around him, the fire licking towards the white haired teen venomously, already devouring Ryan's blade. The teen prepared himself for what was to happen next, calling on his own bit beast's power to aid him.

-Don't Stay-

Kai was ready, positioning himself to shoot an arrow.

-forget our memories

forget our possibilities

take on the faintless of you-

The bow appeared, arrow cocked in place, making Ryan back up a little. It wouldn't mattered if he ran. He'd get caught up in the blast, no matter what he did.

-(just give me myself back and)

Don't Stay-

Ryan took in a deep breath, already feeling the flames begin to hold him into place, keeping him from moving anywhere.

-I don't need you anymore

I don't want to be ignored-

Kai opened his eyes and aimed.

-I don't need one more day

of you wasting me away-

Ryan raised his chin, his bit beast knowing what to do.

-I don't need you anymore

I don't want to be ignored-

In a bright flash of light came, a thundering noise that could rattle the eardrums of the deaf.

-I don't need one more day

of you wasting me away

(with no apologies)-

A Pegasus appeared in front of the teen, stomping its hoof angrily at the phoenix.

-Don't Stay-

Kai didn't even flinch. He released.

-forget our memories

forget our possibilities-

The Pegasus reared, its call echoing throughout the area, lightning bolts aiming at the moving target.

-what you were changing me into

(just give me myself back and)-

It hoped to divert the arrow away, but it failed as it struck Ryan's shoulder, going through and past him.

-Don't Stay-

It hit the blade.

-forget our memories

forget our possibilities-

The Pegasus neighed in pain along with Ryan as the flames of the sun engulfed them entirely, the teen falling to his knees.

-take on the faintless of you-

Ryan looked back up at Kai through the fire. He smirked. "Looks like you win again."

-Don't Stay-

"Hn."

-Don't Stay-

"Phoenix."

The song ended and so did the flames, disappearing with the wind.

"You alright, Ryan?" Kai asked, Dranzer's energy still not gone from his system.

Ryan looked up at the phoenix and smiled, rubbing his shoulder where the arrow had hit him. The Pegasus beside him snorted and retreated to its blade, knowing that Kai would never harm its master intentionally. The teen shook his head and began laughing.

"It still doesn't matter how strong I get, I always end up being beaten by you in a matter of minutes. Heh. You know, that's not really fair," Ryan said standing up stiffly.

Kai just smiled slightly at the comment and strode over to his old friend, paying no attention to the wide mouths around them. He knew that the others probably didn't see the fight because it only lasted a few minutes.

"Hai. But it's alright with me," he said, his smile widening.
