Chapter One: Returning to Russia
Kai's POV
You know me as Kai Hiwatari, caption of the Bladebreakers. Not anymore. I belong here in the alley now. This is my home. I know what you think, that I'm back stabber with a cold heart. But when Boris showed me the power of black Dranzer, I was powerless to resist the temptation, to improve my skills. Look, let me just show you how it all happened and what you didn't see on the show…
As soon as I got off the train at Moscow, I immediately knew there was something familiar about it. I was with the Bladebreakers, as usual and as always they acted like animals in a zoo. We went to find a place called the abbey, but Kenny couldn't read the map because it was in Russian. So I had to guide everyone through the city, which is not an easy job, especially with Tyson complaining through out the journey.
"We're lost aren't we?"
"Don't worry Tyson, I'm sure Kai knows where he's going." Max assured him. But that wouldn't calm Tyson down.
"WE'RE LOST! AND I'M HUNGRY!"
"Tyson?" I said.
"Yeah Kai?"
"SHUTUP!"
"Humph! I'm still hungry."
"Don't be hard on him Kai, we've been walking for 2 hours." Ray said.
"Maybe we should stop and ask for directions." Kenny suggested.
"No way! We don't need directions!" Tyson said.
"For once I agree with Tyson! If we ask directions that would be admitting I don't know what I'm doing do!" I said. I didn't realise how stupid I sounded until I told this story.
"What is it with men and asking directions?" Raven said. She's Tyson's little sister, she had to come along with us because Tyson's Grandpa had to go see a friend in Germany. Would you leave a kid on her own without an adult? Not me, they're too untrustworthy. Who knows what they get up too?
"Let me explain Raven, it all to do with…" Before Ray went into a long speech about manhood, that no female was allowed to hear, so I gave in to the asking directions idea.
"Fine! I'll ask someone. Wait here." I said, walking away to find someone who could speak English.
"I knew that would get to him! See ladies, this how you get men to do what you want!" Raven said.
"Who are you talking to?" Tyson asked, a little confused.
"Umm… no one. "(A.N: Raven! You can never expect your own characters to keep the magic of fanfiction! They keep revealing to the original characters that people are-
Raven: Um, Star?
Z Star: Yes?
Raven: I think everyone wants to go back to the fic now.
Z Star: O.O Oh, heh sorry please continue reading.)
I couldn't believe I fell for Raven's trick, she's an 11-year-old! Anyway I forgot about being angry at Raven after awhile, I was to busy looking for a local person.
I found a girl sitting on a bench, her most features were her long strands of snow-white hair and slightly pale skin. I hoped she spoke English.
"Excuse me, but can you tell me where the abbey is?" I asked.
But I couldn't get an answer out of her; she kept gawking at me with her dark sapphire eyes, like I was a ghost.
"Um, you don't speak English do you? Humph, a lot of help you were..."
"Wait!"
I felt the white haired beauty grabbed my wrist. Usually if someone did that, I'd be giving them my famous death glare and take my hand away. But for some reason, I just stood still.
"I know where the abbey is. You go down that road and make a left. Then you take the road that leads to outside the city. Then take a right and you'll see a big building. There's the abbey." She explained.
"Thanks."
"No problem. Sorry for staring at you. I thought you were someone I once knew."
"Humph." I went back to the Bladebreakers, leaving the girl behind. I felt strange around her, like I've seen her before. What I found most peculiar about her were the red streaks on her cheeks. They were similar to my blue ones. But I decided to ignore that similarity. After we went to the abbey, we returned to our hotel. For some reason the abbey made me feel awful. It was like I had fire burning in my stomach, my spine was prickling, I wanted out get out of there. It was like the place in my nightmares.
"Kai are you okay?"
I turned to see the small purple haired girl Raven.
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You look really pale."
"I'm fine."
"Well if there's anything wrong, you know you can tell me."
Raven said smiling. Why she being so nice to me? I've never been nice to her or cared for her well being. Or anyone else's.
"GIVE ME THE PHONE TYSON!" I heard Ray scream.
"NO! I WANNA ORDER PIZZA!" Tyson screamed.
"YOU JUST HAD DINNER! YOU PRACTICALLY EAT THE WHOLE BUFFET TABLE! BESIDES I NEED TO CALL MARIAH!" Ray Yelled.
Raven started blubbering a little, making a small tear coming from her eye. Oh jeez here it comes.
"Aww raven, don't take it personally!" Ray said. He knew Raven has had a crush on him since they first met. "It's just, you're to young for me and I like you more as a friend!"
"Humph!" Was all Raven said.
"And you're still my favourite girl." Ray said.
Raven's tearful façade turned into a smile and started giggling like a schoolgirl. I had to admit it was kind of a cute moment. What? Did I say that? I hope I haven't gone soft. But taking advantage of the sentimental, soppy moment Tyson yanked the phone away from Ray.
"Yoink!" He cheered.
"Hey! Get back here!" Ray roared, chasing after the childish teen.
I couldn't believe Tyson was cunning enough to do that. Maybe he's smarter then I gave him credit for… nah!
"You snooze you lose!" Panted Tyson as the tiger teen gained on him.
"Using your own sister!" Ray exclaimed.
"Sigh I feel so used." Raven sighed.
Ray kept chasing Tyson around the room for ten minutes! Tyson was getting tired very quickly while Ray was running out of breath.
"All right break it up you two!" Max said, trying to pull Ray back.
"Yes! We have enough going on without any squabbling!" Kenny said.
Max and Kenny's vain attempt to stop the chase was pointless. So at this point I did something I wouldn't usually do.
"Tyson! Stop acting like an idiot! Ray! You're the most mature of the group (Besides me) start acting like it!" I ordered.
Tyson and Ray stopped in their tracks and stood very still, still in the same running position with the phone was still in Tyson's hand. Hey, you would do the same if I were glaring at you the way I did at them.
"That's better." I said, I turned and exiting the room leaving a cold silence behind me.
I decided to get some rest, so I could get up early tomorrow and train. I slipped my shoes off
And lay on my bed. I immediately fell asleep; this was the time I was most at peace. When you're caption of the Bladebreakers you never get any peace and quiet with all the craziness,
Which you have already seen. But my serene sleep would soon end…That's right, I was having a nightmare. Yeah even I have nightmares, Ok. I've been having them for awhile now, sometimes I feel like they are trying to tell me something…
DREAM
I was out walking, in a cold deserted place. There was a blizzard and I was in it, but somehow it didn't affect me, I was still able to stand tall on my two feet without any trouble.
I looked around and saw more of my surroundings; it was a forest of winter. Then my eyes caught a figure standing far away from me. This was what I dreamed of every night.
"Hello?" I called out; the still figure did not answer me.
"Hello!" I screamed, but still no response from the hidden figure.
"Answer me!" I screamed again in my most intimidating voice I could make. But no matter how much I yelled the stranger would not answer me. But then the mysterious character came out from the shadows under the trees, the most unlikely person making it's way towards me.
"YOU!" I screeched; I couldn't believe it! "What the hell are you doing here!" It was the person that's been haunting in my dreams! It was the girl from this morning!
The girl just flashed me a knavish smirk, showing her gleaming white teeth. She then stared at the ground.
"Huh?" I could tell she was gesturing at me to look at the white floor. "Dranzer!" I saw my beyblade spinning on the snow, but it was being pulverised by another blue and silver beyblade. It kept hitting Dranzer, not giving him one chance to fight back.
"Come on Dranzer! Let's beat her down!" I commanded; I couldn't stand losing and neither did Dranzer. I could sense it. But with every blow the white haired beauty hit at me, I felt I was growing weak. At this point I wanted to wake up from this. But I tried my best to stand tall, but then I saw something very unusual.
"What is this!" Everywhere the two beyblades span left a trail of blood, my blood "What is happening?" The sapphire-eyed maiden was beating me to my knees. I couldn't believe I was going to be defeated like this… but then I heard a the cry of a giant bird or prey, it was…
"Dranzer!" But no it wasn't my faithful bitbeast, although the creature resembled him. It was a black phoenix that came down and swooped down at me!
"Kai! Kai! Kai…"
END OF DREAM
"KAI!" I heard someone shout my name, with a loud thump I fell out of my bed, due to Raven jumping on it!
"Kai! Get up! It's almost noon!" Raven shouted in my ears. I just groaned and threw the covers over my head. "Come on Kai! we've got training to do! Everyone's already waiting!" Raven then left the room without helping me off the ground. Sometimes that girl really gets on my nerves!
Wait! Did I over sleep? NO! I have never missed my morning training in my life! Argh! I quickly got up, slipped on my shoes and rushed down stairs. I felt so tired, I have never had a more disturbing night!
"Just great! What more could go wrong!"
