Okay, so I know the chapters are starting off
real short. But in time, they will double in size.
This chapter has some fluff to it, if you want to
call it that, it's mainly Kai, thinking about Xian.
And you get to meet Xian's bit beast, Nyx.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING OF BEYBLADE.

Xian sighed and kicked her shoes off going to flop down onto her bed, Koji followed after her to lie beside her.

"Thanks for dinner, Koji. I've been so stress with planning the tournament I haven't had any time to do what I want." She turned her head to face him and smiled.

"No problem." He smiled to her.

"Today was a great day." Xian said.

"Why? Was it because you got to meet G-Revolution?" He asked.

"No, well yeah, but it's great that I know that they are entering my tournament." She smiled inside, her mind drifting back to them, one in particular.

"Where is the tournament going to be held?" He asked out of curiosity.

"That's a secret." She smiled to him.

"Aw, come on, Xian, you can tell me." He begged.

"No way, Mr. Dickenson and I swore we'd keep it a secret and not tell anyone till the time comes. We want to surprise everyone." She explained.

"Tell me." He continued.

"No, I'm not." He looked at her mischievously and Xian took notice, eyeing him suspiciously. Trying to figure out what his motives were.

He quickly launched his hands at her sides, tickling her. Xian threw her head back in laughter trying to fight him off.

"Tell me." He demanded. Xian continued her laughing.

"No!" She managed to say through the laughs and struggled breaths.

"Tell me." He ordered once more. By now, Xian was tossing around uncontrollably. She managed to turn and roll over him but his strength would be held down if she were on top so he maneuvered his way on top again. Being too close to the edge of the bed, once Koji rolled, he rolled off the bed, landing on his back.

"Ow," Koji said and Xian grunted, lucky to land on the boy and not it being the other way around.

"You see what you do!" Xian growled and got off of him.

"You should have told me." He said referring to the secret.

"I told you, no. Just give up." She ran her fingers through her hair to pull them out of her face. She should have worn it up.

"Fine," he said, adjusting the shirt he was wearing.

"It's getting late." She stated.

"Are you kicking me out?" Koji asked playfully.

"Hmm, let me think…yes, I believe I am."

"Alright," he walked over to pull Xian into a tight hug.

"Alright, now leave." She choked out; Koji's holds were always crushing when it came to hug Xian.

Xian walked Koji to her door.

"Hey, stop by the gym tomorrow afternoon, I've got a surprise for you." Koji said before stepping out the door.

"Ooh~ a surprise, I'll be there."

"Cool, see you then, bye and bring Nyx with you." She nodded.

"Bye."

--

"Chief," Kai called after calling back Dranzer.

"Yes Kai?" Kenny said, turning his attention away from Dizzy and looking up at him.

"Can Dizzy find some information on Xian Mori and her team?"

"You heard the man, Dizzy."

"Alright, searching, AEON Bladers." The voice from the computer spoke up. It took awhile for Dizzy to bring up what she can find. The rest of the team had gathered around to see also.

"AEON Bladers. Consisting of Xian Mori and her blade, Nyx. Koji Severa and his Helios, Knox Ashford with Cratos, and Gale Bentley with Gaia. A pretty tough group if you ask me." Columns of the four were shown to them. Beginning with pictures and their Beyblades, behind them stood artist's impressions of their bit beasts. Following with their basic information underneath, then, stats about their bit beasts.

The group was shocked, Dizzy was right, they are a tough group.

Kai's eyes were mainly focused on Xian's column of information. Something about her interested him. Not just her, but her bit beast also. He observed her blade, a white color and in the center, the dark color of her bit chip, Nyx, there wasn't an actual figure in the picture of her beast. All was seen was a smog-like figure but anyone can tell it was the body of some kind of creature. But what struck him the most were the eyes, they glowed an eerie green color, like Xian's own emeralds. Only Xian knows what that smoke was hiding.

"Amazing…" Ray said.

"Yeah," Max mumbled, "any videos of them?" He asked.

A video was pulled up; it was Xian, her beybattle from last year. She had a weird twinkle in her eyes and everyone was able to notice that she had something up her sleeves.

Her blade began to spin faster than usual.

"Nyx!" She shouted. And so quickly, her opponent's blade flew out of the dish.

"Impossible," Kai murmured.

"Did…her blade just…move at like, the speed of light?" Tyson asked.

"Not quite," Dizzy began, "Xian's bit beast centers around time itself. Enabling her and Nyx's surroundings to stop or move slower, while they make their attack."

"She seems unbeatable." Max said.

"Whoever is battling her in the tournament is going to be one sorry sucker." Tyson said. Hilary smacked him in the head.

"Don't say that."

"It's true."

"Is there another one?"

Another video flashed up, this time, Xian summoning Nyx. She called for her and as it manifested it self, her blade spun at incredible speed, literally, drilling a crack into the stadium. Nyx floated in the air, but all was seen was a dark smoke coming to a complete formation above the stadium, the eyes glowing. A loud scream echoed. The ferocious call was heard throughout the whole complex, phasing everyone but Xian.

"She's one tough cookie." Tyson said.

"Yeah, looks can be deceiving." Ray said.

Kai was lost in thought; he knew she wasn't the average girl who entered a Beyblading tournament with a normal blade. Oh no, Xian came with the whole package; beauty, bit beast, power and all there was to offer.

He knew he had to train a lot harder. The "tough bladers" she was talking about was mainly her. He now had the drive for this tournament, her.

But halfway through the small practice session and just letting Dranzer spin there on the ground, he began thinking. His drive was her, but was it to beat her? Or to be with her? He's never met anyone like her before. Sure, they only exchanged a few sentences, but he was certain this was someone he had been looking for. Kai had high standards and Xian seemed to be the only one that met them. She was eye-catching, alright. But he couldn't have any distractions. What was she to him exactly, his drive or distraction? Maybe he is just confused. But he can't be that way, no, not at a time like this.

But it seemed tough; he needed to know what kind of relationship Xian and Koji shared first. He'll admit it; he wasn't very pleasant at all towards him. Giving him strange looks and trying to get her away fast.

He sighed. The others were taking notice of his apathy.

"Hey Kai, are you alright?" Ray asked.

"I'm fine," he replied.

"Are you sure? You look really out of -"

"I'm fine," he said with a little more might in his voice. He stared back at the entrance where Xian and Koji were once.

My drive not distraction.

He thought to himself.
