[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The bell rang at school, Tyson slide inside the room. Everyone turned to him. Hilary already, as usual, had a comment ready for him. Kenny just shook his head. Miss Kenkay hid a bit behind the desk.
"SAFE!!!" he cried! Hilary stood up right away.
"Actually, you are technically late again Tyson," she stated. "You are suppose to be in your seat before the bell rang. AND you are came in the class after the bell started to ring. So you are in fact, late again!" Tyson growled.
"I am not late. And don't start on and on Hilary," he groaned. Tyson rolled his eyes, he didn't feel like arguing with her today. For once he didn't want to argue with Hilary.
"Why don't you just take your seat then Tyson," said Miss Kenkay. Tyson nodded, and stuck out his tongue at Hilary as he past, she just frowned on him as he passed. Miss Kenkay sighed and turned to the black board. Kenny leaned over to Tyson.
"So what's the excuse this time?" he asked. Tyson shrugged.
"I was up late last night, practicing with Dragoon," he replied. Kenny nodded and turned his attention back to the front of the class.
Suddenly the door opened again. Miss Kenkay turned to the new distraction. Outside was the secretary and a new girl. She was about Tyson's height with shoulder length straight white/silver hair, gray eyes, a black head band, she wore a black sleeveless shirt, an old golden pendant around her neck, brown gloves without the finger parts, long tanish baggy saggy cargo pants, and heavy boots. Her eyes were different, a bit slanty, but not very noticable. And her skin was just a hair darker than everyone else's, but again, this was not very noticable. She didn't look up at the kids.
"May I help you?"
"Yes, this student will be joining your class..." The secretary handed the teacher a slip of paper, pushed the girl in, and left, shutting the door behind.
"Well class, lets welcome Ishizu. You can take a seat over there..." Ishizu slowly walked over to the empty desk in the far back of the class room. She held something in her hand, it looked familiar to Tyson, but he couldn't see exactly what it was. Ishizu sat in her seat, and their teacher started up again. Tyson looked at Ishizu, who was slouching in her chair, looking like she didn't want to be here at all. I know exactly how she feels .
After school let out, Tyson and Kenny headed over to the park, Tyson took out his Dragoon blade. "I'm so ready for some more training. Aren't the others suppose to meet us here or something?" asked Tyson. Kenny and Tyson looked around, they didn't see Ray, Max, or Kai.
"I guess they're late, lets just give them like ten minutes," stated Kenny. Tyson nodded. Then something caught his eye. Spinning around, he noticed it was the new girl in class, what was her name again? She was holding something again in her hand, but Tyson again couldn't see what it was.
"Hey, lets go and see the new kid. Blow those ten minutes by aye?" asked Tyson. Kenny shrugged.
"If you want to," he said closing up his laptop. Tyson started to walk over, when he realized what she was doing. Ishizu was leaning against a tree, observing a few kids their age playing with their beyblades. One of the boys was being very cocky to the other who had just lost. Ishizu almost laughed when the boy said that he would be the next world champion beyblader, and that beating the kid was just proving it. The boy must have heard the stiffled laugh from Ishizu.
"What is so funny? I bet I could beat anyone who challenges me," stated the boy. Ishizu rolled her eyes.
"Even Tyson?" she asked, a bit cocky. This girl obviously followed blading a bit. The boy sucked back a bit. Another kid's head popped out.
"Tyson's the best blader in the world. He's been World Champion many times in a row. No one can beat him and Dragoon," the second kid stated. The original boy turned and glared at him. Tyson felt a wad of pride filling inside of him, and was ready to charge in during his shining moment. Kenny rolled his eyes. Ishizu, on the other hand, widened her mouth in a big smile. Her eyes sparkled for the first time in years, and she started to walk around the boys.
"Oh really, so Tyson, your world champion, and his powerful bitbeast Dragoon are an unbeatable team," she said repeating what the kid said. The boy nodded. "And no one can beat him?"
"No one is as strong as Dragoon. He's the best!" Tyson's eyes glimmered and he almost teared. He was so happy he had fans.
"No one's as strong aye?" she stated again. "Oh, but I've heard of one. Suppose to be unbeatable and with power to, oh might I say crush any bitbeast it has come across." The boys seemed interested.
"Who's this bit beast? What's its name!" they asked. Ishizu smirked.
"Oh, I would think such fine bladers as yourselves has heard of the bitbeast they call The Winged Guardian Ra," she stated. The boys looked at eachother. The first boy chuckled.
"That's a nice story, but no one can compete with Dragoon," he stated. "And I only heard that Ra was a myth, a hoax in the blading world." Ishizu rolled her eyes.
"I've seen Ra," said the second boy. The girl looked at him funny.
"You've actually seen the Winged Guardian Ra, the golden egyptian gryffon, keeper of the ancient pharohs, and one of the most ancient bitbeasts ever, before any recorded history?" asked the first boy.
"No, but I have talked to someone, who's cousin's friends' aunt's neighbor's brother's son battled against the golden egyptian who's been around long since before recorded history," stated the first boy.
"But then how do you know Ra was about before then if it wasn't recorded, I wonder," stated Ishizu. The boys went to answer, but shut their mouths. "As I thought, you'll all get to Tyson's level, but you won't know anything until you face Ra, that is if you are worthy of it." The boy was fuming.
"What makes you so sure I won't! Why don't you put your blade where your mouth is girlie," shouted the boy. "I challenge you to a beybattle. That's even if you have a beyblade," stated the boy. "Who are you anyway?" Ishizu's lowered head stayed still, but her eyes opened, and iced blue tone. Her glare was scary.
"I want to know how you know so much about Ra, Ishizu," stated Tyson walking into the group. "And why are you so sure in that bitbeast anyway?" Ishizu looked up at Tyson for a second, hands in her pockets. She glanced down at her one pocket, something in her hand. She pulled out a light blue beyblade. Tyson noticed a marking over the area that the bitbeast usually went. Her vision rose to Tyson and the boy. Kai walked from the woods, as he heard Ishizu talking to the boys. He glanced and noticed the girl with them. Strangely enough, he felt his stomach flip a bit. He stayed back, wanting to see how this outcome would look like.
Her eyes seemed to change to be even colder and crueler. "I am sorry to decline your offer kid. You're not up to my level. It would be a waste of my time." She placed her beyblade back in her pocket and turned her back to them, completely ignoring Tyson's question. The boy was furious.
"Hey, who are you to say you're better than me? I've never seen you at competitions kid!" shouted the boy. Ishizu looked back, without turning her body.
"I would think a smart boy like you would figure out that not all bladers compete..." The sun's glare flashed in her eyes, the beyblade in her hand once more.
"Are you mocking me?" he asked defensivly.
"Oh, looks like I hit a soft spot....," she stated lightly. The blade in her hand started to glow. "Take this as your lucky day kid." Ishizu started to leave. Tyson shook his head and looked at Kenny, they had seen the blade change its shade as it started to glow.
"What was that?" he asked. Kenny shrugged.
"My guess is, that there's more to that girl's blade than meets the eye-"
"Hey guys!" cried Max. Tyson and Kenny walked over to Ray and Max. "So what were you guys watching? Another beyblade match?" Tyson nodded.
"Anyone we know? Good?" asked Ray. Kenny nodded.
"No, the new blader in town just moved here, pretty good too."
"Cool, I want to meet this blader," stated Ray. "Challenge him maybe."
"Actually, its a girl," declared Tyson.
"All the better, more girls in this sport would make it bigger," thought Max.
"Where's Kai?" asked Tyson.
"He was with us?" stated Ray, looking around. Kai came out of the woods, and walked towards them.
"Is there a spot to blade in privacy?" asked Kai. They all looked around. There were a lot of kids blading around the area.
"I guess not," stated Tyson. "Why don't we go to my house." Everyone followed Tyson towards his house. A movement came in the shadows, leaving as well. From another corner, Joesph was there, he glared, looking at the girl who had just left, but then his eyes opened. I got to tell Ozuma about this... Joesph dashed off.
Night fell, and back at the warehouse, Joesph told Ozuma about the girl in the park. He described her as Ozuma listened. His eyes opened widely.
"All she did was talk about that hoax bit beast, the Winged Guardian Ra," stated Joesph. Marium and Dunga gasped.
"I've heard so many rumors and legends about that bitbeast, my head is going to spin!" stated Marium.
"It's not a hoax, Joesph," declared Ozuma. They all looked at him curiously. "That is a bitbeast we will never obtain. I have battled against it a few times. Ra left FlashLeopard in the dark. It was one bitbeast I couldn't put back in the rock. What did you say the girl's name was?" asked Ozuma. Joesph thought for a second.
"I can't remember," replied Joesph. "It was really different, but if I heard something like it, I think I might remember."
"You said its a girl right?" asked Dunga.
"Well obviously if Joesph described with words like 'she' and 'her'. Was it something like Mary?" asked Marium. "or Carmen, or Kimiko?" Joesph shook his head no.
"How about Lily, or Carly, or Rika?" asked Dunga. Joesph shook his head again.
"Those names don't ring a bell at all," he replied. "It sounded more Egyptian-like. Funny." Ozuma sat, crossed legged, eyes closed.
"Was it Ishizu?" he asked. Joesph's eyes widened, and he seemed to gasp.
"Yea, that's it. I remember hearing Tyson call her Ishizu," stated Joesph. "But Ozuma, how did you know?" Ozuma stood up and started to walk away.
"Lucky guess I suppose..." Marium, Dunga, and Joesph all looked at eachother confused. Joesph shrugged.
"Told you it sounded funny," he stated. Ozuma made his way to the window. The night sky was dark, but the moon shone through. So, looks like she's back...
Meanwhile, Kai was taking a walk, not understanding why he had felt funny when he saw Ishizu. Its strange, I never felt like that before. Am I sick or something? he wondered. He clutched Dranzer, wishin he could answer the question. As he passed by a street corner, it started to rain. He sighed.
"Great." He still had a ways to go before he got to Tyson's home. He did hear something as he passed by an alley way. Normally he would have kept going, but the voice was familiar. He slid into the back alleyway. When he made it to a dead end, he noticed someone was there. They ripped a blade cord. A beyblade went flying out. Landing smack into a wall, it fell down and continued to spin violently. Then it went flying up the side of the wall, and spun around the the walls parallel to the ground. Kai watched the kid a bit impressed. Then it flew back into the hand of its blader. Kai started to clap, kind of mockingly. He walked into the light, noticing who it was. Ishizu! She spun around, surprised and a bit frightened.
"Well you do blade as much as you talk according to Tyson," stated Kai. Ishizu glared at him a bit.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" she asked quickly. Kai shrugged a bit.
"The name's Kai. I was on my way home, and heard you blading. Look pretty good at it," he stated. Ishizu almost chuckled a bit.
"That would be the understatment of the year," she replied. Kai was interested.
"Would you care to prove yourself a bit more?" he asked. Ishizu picked up her blade. She shook her head. A shadow moved once again.
She stated, "No need to prove anything. I'm done with battles. I've grown a bit bored of it actually." Kai glared at her when she said that she was bored of blading.
"Then why do you still have your blade," he stated. Ishizu moved out of the rain, under a covered door. She sat down on the step. She held her blade in her hand.
"You can't just throw away a bit beast," she stated. Kai moved closer towards her.
"Bit beast aye?" he asked. "Then why not bring him out for one last battle?" Ishizu shook her head.
"Nope, I told him, there's no one left to challenge. I beat the best of the European bladers, the ones here are all amatures. We're done." Kai held his Dranzer in his hand.
"I know you haven't taken a taste of Dranzer's power," he stated. Ishizu nodded.
"True, but I have no reason to blade anymore," she stated. "No purpose for it. And that's not going to change."
The next day after school at the park, Tyson, Kenny, and the others met up. They had their training session set up, but they were surprised to see Ishizu there. She was walking along the dirt path, by herself. She seemed depressed and sucked in. Kai got that feeling in his stomach once more. What's going on with me? Why do I feel like... this? he thought, holding Dranzer. He hadn't told the others about his little encounter with Ishizu.
"Man, it doesn't seem like Ishizu has many friends," stated Ray. Kenny shook his head.
"No it doesn't," stated Kenny. "But she does blade, or seems to. I wonder how good she is, after the way she talked to that boy in the park yesterday." Tyson nodded in agreement. They noticed Ishizu walked away, hands in her pockets, eyes down. Hilary walked over to her. Ishizu stopped when Hilary called her name.
"Hey, you're Ishizu right?" Ishizu stopped and nodded.
"Yea, and you're Hilary. Now that we're all aquainted..." Ishizu started to walk away, but Hilary ran in front of her. "What?"
"My guess is talking isn't your strong point... like Kai. But I'm curious. I hear that you play that silly game with the dish and spinning tops and all," stated Hilary. Ishizu looked at her all confused for a second.
"Beyblading?" she asked. Hilary nodded.
"Oh what ever its called," she said. "Well you must have bladed with Tyson, since he's the big 'hot shot' here. And I was wondering if you could blade with him again, and maybe help me out in the middle of it?" Ishizu stared at her. "You see he never stays after to clean up the class room like he should. Maybe you could challenge him in spinning- what ever. And do some wagering, if you win, he does his chores!" Hilary sounded excited for a second. Ishizu gave her a dumbfounded look like "Are you serious?" Ishizu started to walk away from Hilary, back the other way towards Tyson, Kai, Ray, Max, and Kenny, who had gotten up and started walking towards them, listening to their conversation. Ishizu's eyes were still closed, and she had her hands in her pockets.
"You're barking up the wrong tree, kid. I don't blade anymore, so I can't help you with your little problem," Ishizu declared. Hilary looked mad.
"Could you please just do this for me, I can help you out somehow if you do this for me!" stated Hilary. Ishizu started to chuckle a bit and walk towards the wooded area. Hilary followed her. "Come on Ishizu. Do this for me please! I'm begging, on my knees!"
"So you're resorting to bribes now Hilary?" asked Tyson all funny. Hilary spun around to see Tyson. She was steaming mad. "Now a battle against Ishizu, I have no problem with. That's if she'll blade." Ishizu stopped and turned to them.
"I do not blade anymore." Her words she short and forceful. Hands fumbled deeper in her pockets. Kai started forward, he understood what it was like, not wanting to blade some amature.
"Not for much longer!" They all heard the voice, and a whizzing sound of a beyblade coming at them. Ishizu looked up to see the blade pass Kai's face. She quickly moved her's just in time to not get hit. But suddenly another whizzed by Tyson.
"Watch out ISHIZU!" cried Kai.
