Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Beyblade.

Chapter 11

Kai squinted out the window, but it was too late. He turned the wheel quickly making the car swerve; but the side still hit the tree and shattered the glass window beside me.

As the glass crumbled to tiny, jagged, pieces, I tried to move away from the window, but my seat belt got in the way. I cried out as tiny pieces of glass lodged themselves in my neck, shoulder, and upper arm.

"This is just perfect, Kai…" I managed to say as I moaned in pain.

Without saying a word, Kai got out of the car and helped me out of the door. I just stood there, no intention to speak, while I painfully tried to pry all the glass from my body; one by one.

"I won't crash or anything, huh?" I mocked sarcastically.

"I couldn't see the road." He argued, emotionless once again.

"Are we going to walk?" I asked.

"Do we have a choice?" he glared.

"Cut me some slack. You see at least fifty pieces of glass stuck in my shoulder; I'm trying to make the best out of this situation." I glared back. Without another word, I started walking back to our hotel.

An hour later (not to mention 58 pieces of glass later) , we finally got back to the hotel. I was at my door, thinking about all the bizarre things that had happened today. Suddenly, I burst out laughing. Kai looked at me with confusion, but I just shook my head and laughed more, "I'll see you tomorrow…"

"Tomorrow?" he asked.

"Well, you get what I mean." I smiled, trying to get him out of that lonely world he was trapped in.

"Right." He replied coldly.

"Good night, Kai…" I said, half sarcastic and half meaning it.

"Destiny."

"Yeah?"

"If you know what's good for you, you'll read that magazine." He said, giving me the all famous Hiwatari glare, and tossing me the magazine.

I felt anger once again, from people telling me what to do. Without responding, I opened the door to my hotel room and shut it gently. I heard footsteps walking away, undoubtfully Kai's. I shook my head, and threw the magazine under the table where the cleaning lady would pick it up tomorrow morning.

I headed straight to the bathroom to get my shoulder bandaged up. Without warning, curiosity struck me like a knife in my stomach.

What if the Tour Guide was telling the truth? I asked myself in my head, all the while wrapping the bandages around my shoulder.

"It couldn't be right." I shrugged off, looking at my reflection in the mirror.

But what if it was? A voice inside me questioned. Without thinking, I walked to the table just outside the bathroom and picked up the magazine.

`BeyGirlz

What's going on in your favorite Beyblader's life? Find out; exclusive interviews with the world's top Beybladers.'

I gazed to the picture in between all the headlines. I saw Iris and… Was that me?

'Shocker Showdown: Destiny Mannings and Iris Dierra: Page 38'

Yup, it was definitely me. I turned to the first few pages and found that Robert, Oliver and Enrique's interviews were printed. I laughed at some of the comments.

'Alyssa: So, Robert, how do you eat grapes?

Robert: This is uncouth… Why are you asking me all of these weird questions?

Alyssa: This is an interview; of course I have to ask you weird questions.'

"Poor Robert." I thought aloud. I kept skimming through the page.

'Alyssa: Oliver… Is there any special girl in your life?

Oliver: *blush* Well… I think it's my personal business; don't you?'

`Alyssa: Enrique, how would you-

Enrique: If there are any single girls out there, call me???'


I shook my head, laughter about to come out. I held back because I knew everyone else was asleep.

Breathing deeply, I turned to page 38.

'Shocker Showdown: Iris spills the secrets

Iris Dierra was in tears as Destiny Mannings gave her quite a scare only a few days ago. After seeking out her friend, Destiny outside the Beyblade stadium, the girls immediately erupted in a fist fight.

"It was horrible," says Dierra, "she just came at me all of a sudden." `



I shook my head in disgust and ripped out the interview page and throwing it in the trash, "And I once considered her my friend…" After a few minutes of imaginary venting, I flipped to the horoscope page. It wasn't the same as any other horoscope page; they gave your horoscopes in poetry form. I looked for Aquarius…

"Here it is…"

`Your decisions from now on decide your ending fate

To win or lose against the friends you've decided to hate

To choose the right friends or the wrong

And see if your friendships last for long

Pay attention to your upcoming dreams

Always remember; nothing is ever what it seems

Symbols of darkness could mean symbols of light

Beware of the one whose power ignites

Be sure to look out for a troubled friend

The pain and suffering is nearing an end

Make the right choices and happiness awaits

While the wrong; disaster will create'

I leaned on the sink, reading my horoscope over and over again, unable to believe anything I had heard today.

You know it's true. My inner voice told me, Do something about it before it's too late.

"Kai," I began, even though I knew he wouldn't hear, "I believe you…"
