Chapter 3 - Training and Battles Part 1
Misaki's POV
Team Wang hu Zhong and I decided we would have a team battles against each other to decided which pairs would be most suited to train together and work in sync, because they would be the ones representing Beylin Temple.
"Okay, so what are the pairs?" I asked.
"Mei-Mei and Chao Xin will pair up since they have worked together before" said Da Xiang. I caught myself blushing when I suddenly heard his deep voice.
"R-right," I said, I cursed myself for stuttering, luckily no one noticed. Clearing my throat I said "Since there is an odd number of people one of us will be left so if you want, I'll stay out and Chiy-un and Da Xiang can team up."
"No," said Mei-Mei, "remember how you guys were talking about your fathers making awesome teammates?" she asked. Da Xiang and I nodded.
"Well, you two should pair up and as for Chiy-un, he could pair up with Ling because Ling offered to train with us" said Chao Xin. They obviously planned this ahead.
"Well where is Ling?" I asked. "Here I am!" Ling shouted as he arrived.
"So are we ready to let it rip?" he asked as we all made our way to the special training area reserved only for us.
"Ok, so just to make this clear, we are having this tag team battle to see whether or not we would work well with our partners then we will spend the rest of the week training with them and sometimes as a group then when my dad comes he will watch our battles and so on, so forth. Everyone understand?" finished Da Xiang, that strict voice he used made me blush again. Luckily no one saw. At least that's what I thought.
"Okay, first match ups will be Chiy-un and Ling against Da Xiang and me," I said in a light tone.
"You know Misaki, you should take this seriously or else you will get your butt kicked" said Ling.
"You don't know my battling style, how do you know whether or not I will be taking this seriously?" I asked, seeing that he was speechless, I waved it off and said "Let's get into our positions" I walked over to Da Xiang, both of us getting ready.

"Let it RIP!" we all shouted.
Our beys clashed head on. "Joint special move" shouted Chiy-un and Ling together. Oh, they were going to use their special move right off the bat, well, I'm not going down easily and neither is Da Xiang by the looks of it. I took my cloak off and glanced at Da Xiang. We were both serious, seems like everyone noticed that and nodding our heads at the same time, we held each other's hand and yelled "Solid Iron Wall". Chiy-un and Ling's made a direct hit on our beys but when the smoked cleared, our beys were spinning as fast as before, where as Chiy-un and Ling's beys were wobbling.
Without looking at each other we held each other's hand tighter and I said "Special move, Dark Swallowing Abyss" and Da Xiang said "Special move, Crushing blast" we both held out our joint hands towards the stadium and shouted "Joint Special Move!". In a flash the stadium began to darken as dark mist covered it, completely blocking the view, of their beyblades. A sinister laughing was heard and suddenly a dark figure lashed out on the beys with Zurafa's flames surrounding the beys, Da Xiang's Zurafa attacked both the beys. When the darkness cleared up Chiy-un's and Ling's beys stopped spinning.
My face was void of emotions and my voice was cold "The battle has ended, Da Xiang and I Win". I commanded my bey to return to my hand and when it did, I finally relaxed and went back to smiling. "That was a great battle, good job" I complimented, giving a thumbs up.
"Wow, that was one awesome special move" said Chiy-un, Ling, Mei-Mei and Chao Xin.
"Geez, thanks guys but it was really nothing." I replied.
"I'm sorry I said you were not taking beyblade seriously" apologized Ling.
"Not your fault, you never saw me battle before so you don't know my style or spirit. I tend to get very serious and sometimes I turn into a completely different person when beyblading, because whether it is a practice or a real match I always try my best, beyblade means everything to me" I replied.
"You know you have a really strong bey spirit, like mine in fact" commented Da Xiang. "I like that" he added with a smile.
I looked down to hide my blush, Mei-Mei noticed it and smirked. When I was sure the blush was gone, I looked back at him. "You were great as well, a whole lot stronger than I imagined, you have a strong bey spirit as well, I could actually sense it in your attacks" I said, my voice getting quieter, but he still managed to hear it. He looked away and mumbled a 'thanks'. What I didn't know was that he actually blushed as well. What I also didn't know was that Chiy-un and Chao Xin spotted his blush and smirked evilly.
Normal POV (not misaki's POV anymore)
"Ok, we'll give Chiy-un and Ling a break to recover while Misaki and I battle you guys" said Da Xiang.
Misaki nodded in agreement and looked at Chao Xin and Mei-Mei.
"Okay, Mi-Mi give it your best shot, like I said before, I beyblade seriously and I go all out so good luck" Misaki said.

"Let it RIP!" They all shouted and soon all four beys were clashing head on.
"Special joint move" shouted Chao Xin and Mei-Mei, looks like they're going to use their special move right on.
Da Xiang and Misaki looked at each other and nodded like they were speaking telepathically.
"Storm Surge" shouted Da Xiang.
"Power Pacify" Misaki shouted.
As Chao Xin and Mei-Mei's attack came down Da Xiang's zurafa was covered in flames and Misaki's Aries was covered in flames as well. Both beys joined together creating a larger flame that was spinning faster and faster. Chao Xin and Mei-Mei's attacks hit Da Xiang's and Misaki's defence. There was a loud noise. After the smoke cleared Mei-Mei and Chao Xin's beys were spinning super slowly and looked like they were about to stop any moment, but Da Xiang's and Misaki's beys were spinning faster than before. Their joint moves absorbed the power of Chao Xin and Mei-Mei's attacks.
"Virgo, move it, come on!" yelled Chao Xin.
"Aquario, you too, come on!" shouted Mei-Mei. But it was no use, their beys were barely able to move.
"Okay let's finish this" Da Xiang and Misaki said together.
"Knock Aquario out the stadium, Aries" said Misaki.
"Zurafa, finish off Virgo" said Da Xiang.
With that the match was finished, with Virgo and Aquario being knocked out the stadium.
"Da Xiang and Misaki wins" Shouted Ling. Misaki high-fived Da Xiang and blushed when her hand made contact with his, Da Xiang blushed too but both of them tried to hide it so they didn't notice each other blushing, nor did they notice Chao Xin, Chiy-un, Ling and Mei-Mei grinning.
"That was awesome, you two are unbeatable" praised Ling.
"Yeah" agreed Chao Xin. "It was also cool how you guys communicated without having to even talk to each other. " he said.
"I know it was like you two were just made for each other, you guys even instinctively held each others' hand for the joint move bit in your battle against Ling and Chiy-un." gushed Mei-Mei.
They could tell she was enjoying this. Da Xiang and Misaki blushed again when they heard what Mei-Mei said.
"Thanks Mei-Mei, that's um... sweet of you to...say?" replied Misaki but it turned out as more of a question. Da Xiang chuckled lightly next to her, making her blush even deeper.
"Anyways, Chiy-un and Ling, get ready to battle Chao Xin and Mei-Mei" said Da Xiang.

"Let it RIP!" they all shouted.
Misaki's POV
Da Xiang and I went to sit on the one of the benches.
"Who do you think is going to win?" I asked Da Xiang.
"Well, considering the fact that Chiy-un and Ling never battled together before, I think Chao Xin and Mei-Mei, after all they are more experienced than them." he replied with a thoughtful expression. Which I thought was absolutely cute and adorable. Gosh, I did not just say that.
"You seem experienced, have you done tag team battles before?" I asked.
"I did a few, they were with Chiy-un, what about you?" he asked.
"Well, since I haven't done beyblading for nearly half a year, I would say I'm a bit rusty in all my skills, but yes, I did a few Tag Team battles in my village, although I betrayed in the end by my partner," I replied, with a little bitterness in my tone. Da Xiang obviously noticed it.
"What happened?"
"Well, we were in the finals of a beyblading tournament but the rules were slightly different just for fun and to try something new, so up until the finals you had to battle with a partner but when you got to the finals, instead of two verses two, it was a four way battle with every blader for themselves so in the end there would be only one winner. My partner said that we should stick together and take the other two bladers out then we could battle each other. He knew I was too smart to just attack head on whilst he just stood by so halfway through the match he teamed up with the other bladers so it was a three against one. I got angry but I'm kind of happy that he did do that to me." I finished.
"Why would you be happy if he betrayed you?" Da Xiang asked, he genuinely interested and I smiled at the fact that he was actually listening.
"Well, since I was so angry for being betrayed, I created a special move on the spot, oblivion blast, as it blasts the beys into oblivion, so I won the match with that strike, not only had I knocked their beys out the stadium but my special move absorbed all their power and impact and kinda, sorta ruined the battle area." I replied, as I mumbled the last part. I blushed when he let out a low chuckle.
"That's pretty cool, so you prefer defence beys huh?"
"Yeah, after all, Beylin Temple focuses mostly on defence, that's why we have the best defence, unlike Beylin Fist who foucus more on attack, but my bey is has awesome attack as well. You use defence types as well isn't it?" I asked.
"Yeah, I use defence beys as well, mine has great attacks so at least with defence my bey can protect itself and absorb impact, power and energy, allowing my bey to do stronger hit and attacks" he said.
"Exactly, that is exactly what I do with my bey!" I exclaimed.
I looked at the match between going on, seems like their still not done yet.
"So, do you have any rivals?" I asked.
"Yeah, Gingka and Julian, what about you?" he said.
"You mean Gingka Hagane and Julian Konzern?" I asked, slightly confused.
"Yeah, why?" he replied.
"Nothing, it's just, well, they're my rivals as well," I said, smiling at the coincidence.
"Interesting, we seem to have a lot in common don't we?"
I nodded, smiling again. We sat in silence watching the battle. Mei-Mei and Chao Xin looked like they had the upper hand but, Chiy-un and Ling were still not giving up. I wondered about Da Xiang for a bit. Over the short time I've known, him, I really started to like him a lot, I think I have a crush on him. I just love his long brown hair with his yellow highlights, his strong beyspirit and passion for beyblade, his slow warm deep voice with hidden maturity, ughhh I just love it all.
Screw my Life.
I thought about asking him if he had a girlfriend or if he liked someone and decided to open my to ask him, but I didn't because I would seem to forward.
They battle finished and Mei-Mei and Chao Xin won. We all decided to have a break before we go off training with our partners.
Normal POV
"Looks like it's decided Misaki and Da Xiang will go," said Chao Xin, everyone nodded in agreement.
"I'm bored" whined Mei-Mei, "Let's play truth or dare," she said. Everyone agreed.
"Okay, Misaki, truth or dare?" she asked.
"Truth" she replied.
"Okay have you ever been asked out, and if you have how many times?" she asked.
Misaki looked around uncomfortably,
"I have been asked out lots of times but it's to many to count but it's probably over 40, Chao Xin truth or dare?" she replied
"I'll go with truth, I'm too tired to do a dare," he said.
"Okay, when did you have your first kiss?" Misaki smirked as she asked that question.
"I didn't have it yet" he mumbled. But everyone heard and laughed as he went red.
"How so? You have like a billion fan girls" Misaki stated.
"Well, they just keep me company, it's not like I have a special bond with them or anything, anyways, because of that question I'm going to pick you again truth or dare?" he asked.
"Ugh, why me? I pick truth," Misaki replied.
"Since you had so many dates, who was the first and last guy you went out with and when was your first kiss?" Chao Xin asked.
"What's up with you wanting to know so much about my personal life, actually don't answer that. To be honest, I rejected all them, after all they were weak bladers who had no passion for beyblade and only liked me for my looks and because I was the best beyblader in the village. Also, I had no interest in guys back then, therefore I have not had my first kiss yet," Misaki said, she mumbled the last part but everyone caught it. They all laughed, Misaki looked at Da Xiang who looked quite amused and he was smiling slightly.
"It's not funny" she said in a fake hurt tone, but she joined in on the laughing as well.
"Mei-Mei truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"Have you ever gone out with anyone before?"
"Yeah but I forgot him now, it was some random guy in my village, so it's nothing special, Da Xiang truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"Have you ever liked or dated or been asked out by someone or ask someone out?"
"I was asked out by lots of girls but, similar to Misaki answer, they had no passion for beyblade and only liked me for my looks, and before you ask I did not have my first kiss with anyone yet either," he replied.
"Okay, I am satisfied with your answer." Mei-Mei said.
"Ling, truth or dare?" asked Da Xiang.
"Truth"
"Well, that's a hard one, um... have you ever liked someone?"
"I'm not going to name, names but yes I did, but she is like a younger sister to me now," replied Ling. Da Xiang nodded.
"Final one before we go, Misaki Truth or Dare?" asked Ling
"God, what did I do to be the target of your questions? Since this is the last one, I'll pick dare,"
"I dare you to challenge someone in the temple to a battle but you can't use any special moves and you have to distract the person using your insanely good looks," said Ling with a grin.
"Hell to the no, plus I'm not pretty at all, and don't say I am because that would be a lie," replied Misaki.
"whatever, just do your best then," Ling said back grinning, mumbling a small "You are pretty" under his breath. Everyone heard and Misaki scoffed "Again, no need to lie for me, I don't care about my looks anyway, it's the bey spirit and passion that matters" Misaki said, making a fist with her hands and thumping her chest.
"But, I'll do your stupid dare" she said giving up "you can't really refuse a fair and square dare can you?" continued Misaki. "Hey I rhymed" she muttered under her breath, no one heard except Da Xiang who chuckled softly. Misaki playfully stuck her tongue out at him which cause him to chuckle even more. Misaki blushed and tried to hide it luckily Da Xiang didn't notice. However everyone else didn't miss the small exchange.
"Yep, you must do the dare," said Ling breaking the silence as he answered Misaki's question.
"Ok let's see... HIM! I'll challenge him!" Misaki exclaimed as she saw a boy walk by.
She tapped him and gave a sweet smile.
"Hi, my name is Misaki, what's yours?"
"N-nice t-to m-meet you, m-my name i-is Enlai" he said blushing as he talked to Misaki.
"Do you mind having a battle with me, pretty please?" she asked giving him puppy dog eyes.
"S-sure" and both of them walked to the ring to battle.
"Poor Enlai, he is definitely going to be beaten," said Ling.
"How do you know Enlai and what makes you think he is going to be beaten?" asked Chiy-un.
"He is one my friends, he is someone in my gang and practically all the guys have a crush on her, plus did you see the way he stuttered around her? He never does that" stated Ling "so this won't be too hard for her, in fact I think she knew that's why she picked him"
Misaki gave an evil smirk to Ling which everyone else saw.
"She sure is sly, she knew didn't she?" asked Mei-Mei.
"Yep she knew" replied Ling.
Chapter 3 is finished.
On the next chapter Misaki's battle will be written and the training will be too, but the training scenes will be mostly about what Da Xiang and Misaki do and I promise you all that there will be loads of little hints in there so maybe on chapter 5 or 6 they can confess to each other or something like that but anyways, please tell more people to read this so comment, rate and review.
Anywho...
BeyBladeLuver123 out,
Peace :P
