I Love Beyblade

Chapter 1 – Meaningless Kiss

Kai walked along the empty street at night of a city, between tall buildings. He wore a black jacket and dark blue pants; he wore fingerless dark blue gloves. He still has his scarf around his neck and the two blue triangles are still on his face too. In his hand is a plastic bag, which he brought just a while ago.

The night is really quiet, but then he heard distant running footsteps behind him. He hurried and hid in the shadows of the alleys and waited to see who it was. Lately, while traveling around alone, the world seems to have been dangerous all over the place. He had to be very cautious for his own safety to reach for his destination.

He saw a girl, his age maybe, running. She had red long hair but he could not see her eyes in the dark. The dim streetlights were not helping either. She wore a long dark brown jacket and under it were black shirt of some sort and black short shorts. Her dark boots were making a loud noise as she runs. When she ran, she noticed Kai from afar and headed his way. Beyond her footsteps, Kai also heard more from the direction where she was running from.

When she entered the ally, she grabbed her hair and pulled it down. It turned out to be a wig and her hair is actually brown, reaching to her shoulders. She threw the wig as far as possible into the darker areas of the ally and also her long jacket. She had a tank top on. Grabbing Kai, she leaned against the wall and pulled him close. At the same time, she dropped something into his jacket's pocket. Their lips met when she pulled him to her and he looked at her sharp golden-yellow eyes.

Kai remained silent when he looked from the corner of his eyes he saw a few men in white suits running and an older woman. They stopped and looked at the two couple who were to kissing. They simply ignored them and continued to run after whoever they were chasing down.

The brown hair girl pushed Kai away and looked where they ran. They were still running and she waited until they were out of sight. "Thank god this city have many corners," she murmured. If she had not run around the corners of the streets she would not have been able to lose them.

Kai grabbed her wrist and turned her to him. "What was that?" he asked, glaring at her.

She looked up at him and smirked. "Sorry. Let me guess, your first kiss?"

He let her go and she hurried to grab where she threw her wig and jacket. He looked at her, crossing his arms. "Were they chasing after you?" he leaned against the wall. Somehow, he just became interested in what just happen. Why would a group of people pursue after a girl like her?

"It wouldn't hurt to tell you that," she shrugged. She picked up her red wig and put it back on. "Yeah, they were chasing me." Then she grabbed her jacket and put it on. "What's your name?"

Kai glared, "Why should I give my name to you?"

She flattened her eyes at him. "You're the one who asked me questions. Why can't I ask you something simple?"

He stared at her for a moment and looked away. "Kai," he told her.

She grinned, "Hi, Kai. Now if you'll excuse me…" She turned away.

"Where do you plan to go?" he asked.

Sighing, she turned back to him. "It's none of your business and I won't be answering any of your damn questions. I don't even know who are you." The girl turned her attention back to the empty street and no one is around. She quietly hurried to the other direction where the men ran.

Kai watched her go, silent. That's right. It's none of my business. He told himself in his head. I have somewhere else I need to get to. He decided to walk deeper into the ally and put his hands in his jacket's pocket. "Huh?" There were not supposed to be anything in his pocket and he took out something thin. He looked at it. It is a beyblade chip with a beast image on it. "A bit beast…?" he narrowed his eyes. The beast had a body of a tiger with long wings and a tail of a snake's head. "When did this…?" Then he remembered when the girl with the wig might have put it in his pocket when she pulled him. That must have been it. Where did she get this and why give it to me? He wondered.

There is a feeling he knew that this is not the last time he will see her. If she put it in his pocket, she might come back for it later.

He walked for about a mile and smirked at the blue motorcycle. He left it near the store's parking lot because he had to go and get oil for it. Walking to his motorcycle, he took the oil out of the plastic bag and filled his gas.

Faint voices were heard and he looked around. "This voice…" he turned around. He knew whom it belonged to because he would not forget one's voice that easily. He followed the voices and saw the same girl with the wig with the group of people who were chasing her earlier. One of the men held her from behind and the older woman search through the girl's clothes.

"I told you, I don't have!" the girl with the wig shouted. "Stop touching me!"

The older woman had blonde hair, which is in a bun, and gray eyes. She took out a silver gun and pointed at the girl. "Look, you better tell us where you hid that chip or you're going to lose that right eye of yours," she smirked, pointing the gun near her right eye.

"Shoot if you want," she glared, angrily. "I'm never going to tell you where it is!"

Kai walked away and took out the chip. "So she stole this…?" he looked at the chimera bit beast. He hurried to get on his motorcycle and started it up. I don't know what's going on, but… he put a blue helmet on.

The sound of the motorcycle made the group of people look up. The girl with the wig took this chance and kicked back on the man's leg and he let go of her. She quickly kicked the woman's hand that held the gun and the gun flew in the air. The girl grabbed it and backed away, pointing the gun at them. "Ha, got your gun!" she grinned. The other men took out their own guns and pointed at her. She pouted, "Damn it."

"Put that gun down, little girl," one of the men ordered her. "I don't want to shoot a girl like you now, do I?"

She chuckled, "Not a chance, Mr.." Then the motorcycle headed their way. The girl looked at the guy who is riding it and she smiled in surprise. "Hey, it's you!" she waved. Kai held out his hand and when he drove close to the girl, she grabbed it and he pulled her to the back seat. The men and woman backed away when the motorcycle drove in between them.

"Don't let them get away!" the woman shouted. "Shoot!"

The men fired their guns and Kai drove faster. The girl's wig fell off. She turned back and pointed the silver gun at them, her other arm is around Kai's waist. When the man shot one directly towards her, she fired and her bullet defected the opposing bullet and both fell on the ground. "Wow, I still have skills," she smirked.

Kai came across a down stairs and the motorcycle jumped into the air. "Hold on tight," he warned her. She quickly wrapped her other arm around his waist and do what she was told. The motorcycle hit on the stairs and they went down, moving up and down.

"Damn them…" the woman cursed. "They got away." They did not have a vehicle so it's pointless to go after them now. She glared at her men and they just looked at the ground, ashamed. "Let's head back and talk to the boss about this," she told them.

After driving for more than ten minutes, Kai stopped the motorcycle in the shadows of the building. The girl got off and looked at the gun. Kai lightly glared at her. "You can use a gun?" he asked.

She nodded, "I'm quite bit of a bad girl after all." She put the gun in her jacket's pocket and looked at him with a serious look. "Thanks for you help, but I can take it from here. Give me back that chip."

"You used me twice," he said, glaring. "That kiss and this."

She put her hands on her hip and sighed. "What? You want something in return?" she inquired.

He looked at her. "Judging by the way you look, you seem to know your way around here," he said. "Are you traveling alone?"

She nodded, "Yeah. I got a couple of friends in high places and they help me out. What, you're traveling too?"

He took off his helmet and nodded. "I need to get to Japan and find a friend. Do you think you can help me with that?"

The girl chuckled. "Sure. I owe you, do I not?" she smirked. "I was planning to go there myself, it wouldn't hurt to bring you along." She looked around for a moment and back at him. "After we get to Japan, we part ways and you give me that chip back. Sounds fair?"

"How do I know you're not lying and plan to take it back?" he glared.

"Hey, I don't mind getting it after we get to Japan. If it remains with you, I'll just trust you with it while people think that I have it." She laughed. "It's a simple plan, don't you think?"

"I highly doubt that would work," he said, looking at her as if she was stupid.

The girl shrugged. "I had a wig on and you had a helmet on. They won't notice us right away." Kai handed her the helmet and she looked at him. "You're going to trust me?"

"You're trusting me too, aren't you?" Kai looked at her in the eyes. There is something about her who he can trust on. He really needs to go to Japan anyway and he did not have the money to get there by plane. Everyone he knew, he had lost contact with. The banning with the Beyblades, his friends not responding back, and the danger of the world is suspicious enough. He just did not like something about it. "So where are we going to do now?" he asked.

She looked at the helmet, which he still holds it towards her. "You're the one who's driving, so don't give me that," she said. He still held it to her. She took it and placed it on his head and sat behind him. "Take me close to the shore," she told him. "That's where we'll start off with."

He grumbled when she put the helmet hard on his head. He started up his motorcycle and she put her hands on his shoulders as they drove off. "By the way… what's your name?" he asked.

She looked at the back of his head and smiled. "You can call me Ruby."
