~~~~~~~~~~~~~At the finals, Normal POV~~~~~~~~~~

It's the next morning. Kai woke up around 5, as usual, Kenny went to bed at 5 and woke up at 8, as usual. Rei woke up at 7, Max at 7:30, and Tyson is...

"Still sleeping" sighs Max "How the heck are we gonna wake him up?"

"I've got an idea" Rei pipes up. He quickly runs into the kitchen, leaving the others puzzled, then comes back in with a red pepper "This should wake him up in a flash"

"Too bad I didn't think of that" Max pouts as Rei sticks the pepper in Tyson's mouth. He wakes up immediately, and runs around the room for a second.

"I'll be out by the bus" Kai announces, and leaves the room with Kenny tagging behind him. When the others arrive, Rei is carrying Tyson, who is asleep again!

"Do you think he'll wake up in time for the match" Max asks, prodding Tyson. Rei shakes his head

"He will be, but you guys go on ahead, I'll bring him just in case" he tells the others

"Ok, see ya there Rei!" Max and Kenny call, Kai just 'hmph's and gets on the bus, they leave the tired Tyson to Rei, hoping they'll get there in time.

~~~~~~~~~~~Rei's POV~~~~~~~~~~~

{Well, we know Kai will miss you SO much}

'Shut up! He doesn't care about anything, so why should he care about me?' I tell Driger as I head inside with Tyson on my back, he's not as heavy as he looks!

{I guess you've fallen hard for his personality}

'You are so mean! His personality isn't the best but...' I can't finish my sentance. I leave Driger to laugh at me while I sit to watch T.V

{AH!! The evil picture box!!!} Drig runs and hides. I laugh out loud. After a while, I find I can't find anything good on and am about to get up to practise when a hand goes on my shoulder.

"Mornin Ty, did ya sleep well?" I ask, as innocent as I can. He gives me an evil smile

"So, tell me Rei, do YOU know who put the pepper in my mouth?" he looks at me evilly. I sweatdrop and go rigid

"Uh.....uh....uh..."

{Smooth kid, very smooth}

'SHUT UP!!' "It was Kai!" I think quickly. Tyson nods and thinks

"He would do that, wouldn't he? He's just that type! Well, let's get to the tournament Rei my man!" he walks out the door, I give a large sigh of relief and follow him

{Very good! Your thinking like a guy now, blaming all your wrong doings on someone else! AND not only that, you pinned it on the best possible person!} Driger nods his approval

'Your getting a pillow in the face later'

{DAMMIT!}

We make our way to the bus, just in time, and talk for a while on the way. Suddenly, the bus stops, we get out to take a look.

"I wonder what's up?" Tyson asks. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't see

"I'm gonna check it out" I jump onto the top of the bus easily and see a landslide

"Aw man!" Tyson complains "Now we won't make it in time!"

"Not true. If we climb over the mountain it's only a 10 kilometre walk" I raise an eyebrow at Tyson, who almost falls off the bus at this

"10 k!!! That is SO not fair!!"

"Unless you have a better idea, we'd better get moving" I jump from the bus and start going up the mountain, knowing Tyson would follow me, which he does eagerly, not wanting to get left behind

~~~~~~~~~Tyson's POV~~~~~~~~~~

I can't believe Rei wants me to walk 10 K! NOT FAIR!!!

//Get over it, at least now you'll get some exercise//

/WHAT! Dragoon, how could you be so mean to me?/ I pant as I follow Rei, who is not looking tired at all

/What does he eat in the morning, an energizer bunny? I mean, he keeps going and going and going!/

//Lucky stiff, bunny's are so good//

I sweatdrop at that /That was information I did NOT want to know Dragoon/

//My bad//

I shake my head and follow Rei

"Hey Rei" I call out, hoping he'll slow down. He turns to me and smiles. He stops to wait. A large rumbling is heard. I look up as he turns to see what it is

"OH MY GOSH!! It's another landslide!" he yells, then runs down and pushes me out of the way of falling rocks. After falling a bit, I steady myself and let the rocks slide by me. I look around, but all I can see is dust, no Rei

"Rei! REI!! Where the heck are ya man?" I call out. I hear a groan

"Over here" I look, Rei is hanging onto a rock and holding his ankle at the same time "I...I think I sprained it" he tells me, oh great

"Go on without me Tyson. If you keep following this path.." oh no you don't!

"Too bad Rei" I interrupt him, turning so that he can climb on my back

"You sure Ty?"

"Positive" He climbs on my back

/He doesn't weigh a thing!/

//Wish you did//

/That was uncalled for!/

//I know//

I start out, pretty quickly at first, making sure Rei is comfortable the entire time

"We'll be there in no time, bud. Hold onto that ponytail, cuz here we go!" I make my way up the rest of the mountain and to the China Tower

~~~~~~~~~~~Rei's POV~~~~~~~~~

'I should have gotten out of the way! I can't believe this is happening? Why didn't I see it coming earlier?'

{Please stop! There was nothing you could do to prevent it, things like this just happen} Driger tries to comfort me {Besides, all your worrying is giving me a headache}

I ignore the last comment 'But Drig, now Tyson has to work SO HARD to get HIMSELF to the tournament, let alone ME!' I feel Tyson trip

"You ok?"

Tyson pants as he gets up "Yeah, yeah I'm fine" he takes off again, leaving me to hang on tight

"Hey Tyson? Why are you doing this? You could have just left me there" I ask, about 20 minutes later as we take a break. I'm sitting on a rock and so is he

"No way, Rei my man. I'm not leaving my friend to fend for himself in the wilderness" he leans back and looks at the sky "Besides that you're the only reason Kai hasn't killed me yet"

{He has a point}

"Well..." I start to protest about why he SHOULD have left me, but he interrupts

"No way, no how am I ever going to leave ya Rei." He pats me on the shoulder and gives me that goofy grin of his. I smile back

"Thanks Tyson, that really means a lot"

"Great! Now get back on so we can get to this tournament and win it!" I climb back on his back, very ungracefully I might add "And were off!"

'Nobody in the village but the White Tigers ever cared for me this much'

{What about your parents?}

Silence. I really didn't want to answer him

{Rei? Aw man, c'mon talk to me!}

~~~~~~~~~~~Kai's POV~~~~~~~~~(Kai's thoughts) [Dranzer's thoughts]

(WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY!!!)

[Sir please, I'm sure their on their way!]

(Uh huh, sure, you just don't want me to punish Tyson for making them late!!!)

I'm watching Max battle, he shouldn't be stalling!!

[He's trying to save you guys from disqualification!]

(I don't care, he's making us look bad!)

Max is totally stalling, he's not even a good actor!

(GAH! This kid is driving me insane!!!!)

[I believe you are already there, sir]

(SHUT IT DRANZER)

"MAX!" I yell "quit stalling, either they make it or they don't, your embarrassing us!"

"I....was...just" he tries to explain, I give him a stern look. He turns and quickly wins the match no problems whatsoever.

(About time)

[Oh ye of little patience]

"If the Bladebreakers aren't here in 2 minutes.." I hear Jazzman say. I stand up

"I'll fight" I smirk at the shocked faces of Max and Kenny and head to the dish, winning it in a matter of seconds, of course.

"Ok! Next round!" I look stright at Jazzman

"We've already won the best 2 of 3 matches, we shouldn't have to fight the 3rd one!"

"Sorry Kid, but it's the rules"

(Rules shmules, rules were made to be broken!)

[So were your Anger Management councilors necks, but you didn't do that now did you?]

(You REALLY get on my nerves sometimes)

[Damn, I'm losing my touch. Only SOMETIMES? Are you sure?]

GRRR! I turn to my....ahem.....team mates.

"It's only a matter of time. Were disqualified" I sit down on the bench

"NO!" I hear Max shout, my eyes are already closed

[YOU CAN'T BE!!! What about Driger? Rei will lose him!]

(Looks like Rei couldn't handle him. He's Lee's now)

[NO!! C'mon, you gotta do something]

(Your starting to sound like Max)

A sudden cheer from the crowd startles me, I look up and my eyes go wide

~~~~~~~~Rei's POV~~~~~~~~~

'YAY! We made it Drig!'

{And what did you expect?}

"Good job Tyson, I knew you could do it!" I tell him as we saunter over to the bench. Max helps me sit down on it as Tyson goes up to battle.

'He..he made it! He.....is.....like...'

{Have we found a new crush?}

'NO WAY! I found a REAL friend!' I look up

{Cry later!}

'You know, every time you say that I never end up crying' I tell him jokingly as Kenny patches up my foot with Dizzy's help. I lean back and relax after all the tension of the day, it's finally over

~~~~~~~Normal POV~~~~~~~~

Mariah is in the stands and smiles broadly as Rei and Tyson come in

"THEY MADE IT!!! YAY!" she tells herself

"Aw man" She turns to the small voice beside her

"What was that Kevin?"

"I thought the landslide would have worked!" he suddenly realizes what he just said and who he said it too

"WHAT! Kevin!"

"See ya Mariah" he leaves quickly as Mariah turns back to the Bladebreakers. She whispers to herself "Congratulations Rei, I'm happy for you"

~~~~~~~~~~~A couple hours later~~~~~~~~~

The Bladebreakers are back at the hotel, Rei's foot is doing fine, he's limping on it, but he still has to sit on the couch with it propped up on a pile of pillows. Tyson, Max and Kenny are talking and laughing. Kai is reading a book on the armchair, by himself until he finished a chapter and puts it down

"Practise" he stands up and stretches as Tyson, Mas and Kenny groan

"Aw man, c'mon Kai! Can't you let us have the day off?" Tyson begs

"The finals are tomorrow Tyson. If you want to blow it, go ahead" he is about to leave when he sees Rei trying to stand up and fall back on the couch. He raises an eyebrow and leaves the room

"WHAT ABOUT REI!!" Max yells to the retreating figure

"I'll be fine guys" Rei says, trying to stand up again, and falling, again. "Amazing, I can walk, but standing up is a different story"

"Rei, stay here. If you get up earlier tomorrow to practise I doubt Kai would mind." Kenny tells him

"But Chief" Rei starts to whine, but Max and Tyson agree

"Sorry man, your outvoted. See ya at 7!" Tyson says heading for the door. Rei glances at the clock

"WHAT!! That's in 3 hours!!! It's only 4 o'clock!" he tells them

"Yeah, were going out for supper after, well bring ya sumthin, no worries man" Max waves goodbye to the White Tiger on the couch and leaves poor Rei all by himself

~~~~~~~~~~Rei's POV~~~~~~~~

"THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!" I yell to my team mates "how rude!"

{Need some help?} a bright flash brightens the room and Driger is standing in front of me

"DRIG!" I sit up "get back in your blade! What if somebody comes..."

"Uh Rei? This is YOUR area, nobody is allowed here" Driger tells me, sauntering into the room I share with the others

"Where are you going?" no answer "Drig?" he walks back in, my large sketchbook in his mouth along with a pencil. He drops them on my lap. I sit up, leaning against the arm of the chair.

"Uh....thanks."

"No problem. So what are you going to draw?" he asks, sitting in front of the couch, looking at me curiously, tilting his head to one side. I giggle, then think about his question thoroughly

"Well..." I get an idea "Hey! Can you get my picture from the other room?" he nods then heads to retrieve the specified item. Trotting back in looking like a very LARGE retriever he drops the picture on my lap. I immediately start sketching the outline of what I am going to draw as Driger lies down next to the couch and falls asleep

7:30

"Ok! I'm almost done, Drig!" No answer, I look over to where he is supposed to be, he isn't there "Oh my gosh! Drig!" I look around frantically

{Don't worry, girl. Yeesh. I just returned to the blade, no worries. Your friends are a half hour late}

"Really?" I ask out loud, then look at the clock and almost fall off the couch "WOAH! Your right! I wasted an entire afternoon..." I don't finish my sentence as I look at the picture I almost finished and smile "But it was worth it" I hear footsteps and excited yells just outside the door. I tilt my head back to see the doorway upside down.

~~~~~~~~~~Normal POV~~~~~~~~~

Max and Tyson come running in at the same time, getting stuck in the doorway and pushing to get in

"ME FIRST!!" yells Max

"NO WAY!! ME!" Tyson tells him, pushing Max back and himself forward, but it's no use, their stuck.

Kai saunters up, Kenny beside him, and sighs "How did I get stuck with them?" he asks to the air. Kenny decides it's best not to answer that.

Kai shakes his head and walks up behind the 2 struggling bladers

"ME!" Max yells

The 2 soon find themselves on the floor, face first

"Ow" Tyson groans as Kai steps over them

"Oops, my bad" he tells them unenthusiastically. Kenny steps over them as well

"Uh...sorry guys. You try stopping him sometime" he apologises

Rei shakes his head "Where were all of you?" he demands, doing his best to not laugh as he continues work on his sketch, not facing the others. Tyson looks up

"Oh, hey Rei! We thought that you would be in bed by now, sorry." he tells him.

Rei pretends to be mad and doesn't even turn to them. Max, Tyson and Kenny get worried, Rei isn't the type to get mad.

"Hey Rei were..." Tyson starts to beg. Rei can't hold it in, he bursts out laughing, shocking the entire room. Throwing his feet over the side of the couch and setting his sketchbook (closed) down on the coffee table he stands up and stretches

"Not funny man!" Max protests, shaking his head

"Yes it was." Rei tells him "Now, to the kitchen! You are going to tell me what the heck you all did today, do NOT spare any details" he limps into the kitchen, followed by the 3 other sociable bladers.

~~~~~~~~~Kai's POV~~~~~~~~~

(How immature can you get? Anybody could have seen Rei was fooling) I tell myself, sitting on the armchair I was in earlier

[Don't deny it Kai, you thought he was mad too]

(so? And your..) I notice something on the table. (What the...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai; HOW COULD YOU END IT THERE?

Blue; easy, I just get bored of typing

Rei; I didn't think you cared Kai

Kai; she was in the middle of MY scene!!! How can you stop there? C'mon!!!

Blue; get over it! I'm typing the next one up right now! *turns to the readers* bye bye!
