Brt: Hello! Gomen for taking so long, and I hope this chapter is funny enough. The TAKS has worn me out. -stupid math- Oh yeah, this chapter contains a lot of ooc, and cuss words. (If it offends you, there's a 'back' bottom).

PS: I'm super pissed with some fans saying that Kai and Tyson hate each other, where the hell is the evidence for that whole BS! "Thanks Kai, you don't know how much in means coming from you." see! Damn, gomen... but I used to respect the fan's opinion of RaKa, but seriously! Some -I'm not saying all- put hints where there's none! At least we -TyKa/KaTy fans- have some damn evidence! And saying that Kai hates Tyson, just pisses me off even more. "He's amazing!" oh yeah, who would praise the ones they hate?

If any RaKa fans are reading this, then I apologize for this, but please take in mind that if you are -have done- a brief description about a character, make sure you have find some good evidence backing it up. Not only put it because it's your opinion, (If it is, then please stated before or after the description), or because you hate/dislike that particular character. Again, I'm sorry if I offended any one, but just find more evidence before saying that a certain character hates another. Thank-you for reading, and if there's any one who disagrees, then please tell me. I don't mind discussing it.

(Also, this not only applies to Beyblade characters, but other series as well. RaKa fans, I sincerely apologize, and contrarily of what I said, I do respect your choice.)

Third Chapter:

The Rival Appears!


"So Max," Tyson began, "who is going to pick us up?" he asked as they walked from the security guard.

"I have no clue!" the blond responded happily, the other three teens felled anime style.

"Wow, that was so unexpected." Kai said.

"Max!" someone called, and the four friends stopped, and a few feet in front of them Emily was standing besides Alan, waving her hands. "Over here!" the four walked towards them.

"Hey Emily!" Tyson greeted, "where are the others?"

"They are helping Judy with some research." she explain, Max then stood in front of Alan, smiling wide. Ray couldn't help but noticed that Alan had gotten taller, and in fact it seemed that the brunet was the same height as him!

"Hey Alan, long time no see! How have you been? " Alan returned the smile.

"Just fine." he said and he looked nervous, "Um here I bought you these." he said, and handed Max a bouquet of red flowers, making the blond blush. And a certain neko glared. Besides Ray, Kai lean close to Ray and whispered to him.

"Damn, he's good." the glared turned towards Kai's direction.

"Shut up Kai." He warned. Kai merely grinned.

"Thanks Alan, they're beautiful!" he said happy. Alan smiled, confidence now showing in his dark blue eyes. He took a step closer to Max and took one of Max's hands.

"But not as beautiful as you..." he finished by kissing Max hand. The four friends witnessing it were shock... OK, so Ray was shock, angry, furious, and jealous.

"A-alan... um, oh, thanks?" the blond said, asked, uncertainly. Kai smirked and whispered to Ray.

"Dude, forget about good, he's an expert! Better watch out Ray, or you won't make it to first base." he advice.

"Kai, shut the hell up." the neko gritted out, turning fully to face Kai.

"Oh? What are you going to do about it?" both hadn't noticed that all four friends were staring at them.

"I don't know! But it'll be painful, Hiwatari!" people could literally see the sparks flying in between them.

"I like to see you try, Kon." their friends sweat-dropped, not really knowing what was going on.

"Ah, guys?" Tyson tried to stopped them, but the two stubborn teens didn't pay attention to him.

"At least I don't wear makeup!" Kon said pointing at Kai's triangles, Kai glared.

"What did you say, cat-boy?"

"You heard me." he crossed his arms, glad that at least he was able to payback some of Kai's own medicine. Tyson stepped in between them.

"Guys calm down, what's going on?" without taking their gaze from one another, Kai responded.

"Kitty here is a little pissed, only because I say what I see."

"Then don't say nothing at all."

"Ray, Kai, maybe we should leave..." Emily suggested, seeing as some people had stopped to stared at them.

"Whatever." both responded.

"Hey," Alan began, as they walked out of the airport, "you guys are friends of Zeo Zaggart?" he asked.

"Yes, why?" Tyson asked, putting his bag in the taxi's trunk.

"Well, I heard that he's playing the violin tomorrow, at a concert." he informed them. After the whole 'taking the bit-beast to become human' thing, Zeo had decided to rest from beyblattles for awhile and play the violin for some time.

"Really?" Max asked, "we had wanted to see him perform, but with the whole BEGA thing, we weren't able to go to any of his performance."

"Yeah, I got some tickets, the bad thing is that I could only get three." he said, showing them the three blue tickets. Ray's gears were working overtime.

Why would he spent his money in these tickets, he thought, unless... why that bastard! He had plan this all alone. But how those he know Zeo... Oh. Realization made its way home. "Kai, can I talk to you for a moment?" he said taking Kai by the arm and dragging him away from eavesdrop. "Kai I think..."

"I know." Kai told him, "...that son of... he plan this." Ray wasn't sure if Kai was talking about Alan, or Zeo.

"What are you going to do?" the neko asked Kai, whom was trying to burn a hole on the pavement.

"I don't know, but I'll think of something." he answered, Ray was going to ask something that he knew he would regret later.

"Want to 'team-up'?" Kai stared from Alan to Max to Tyson, and back to Ray.

"...Fine." he said walking away, "oh, and Ray, this however, doesn't mean that I'm going to stop 'torturing' you." Ah yes, this was the part the neko had dreaded.

"Kai you bastard, someday you'll pay!" he shouted after his captain, and he made a mental note to keep in Kai's 'good' side. Besides, he was sorry for Zeo. And Alan, I'm not letting you win! He promised, heading back to what looked like his most difficult battle of all his time, a battle even more fierce than a beybattle. A battle of love... and wits -this one being Kai's part-.
