'Of all the things that I could be doing on a Saturday afternoon, I have to do it with Tyson,' Kai thought irritably while walking to the riverbank. 'Why did I agree to go?’ he asked himself. ‘Couldn’t he have just trained with the others? I guess he wanted to do this as a team as usual.' Wonderful.

Kai noticed a shadow appear beside his. He continued on walking, assuming that it was someone just going to the same general area as he was. There was sometimes a limit that you could have on paranoia when you were famous.

Unless it was a fangirl.

The blue-haired blader inwardly shuddered. He hated to admit it, but fangirls were scary. Their screaming sounded more like they were being tortured than whoever's name they were screeching. It was sometimes so bad that Kai thought that they didn’t even sound human.

And they stalked you. Wherever you went, they were always there, hiding in the shadows. Worse than shadows. At least shadows would disappear when the light came out. Fangirls, however, were everwhere. There was also the little presents you got –or found- in your locked hotel suite. They could be master thieves, stealing millions but noo, they wasted time and money on someone who didn't want or need it.

Kai had heard rumours as well. That there were beings that roamed the world that were even worse than fangirls. They lied to make you believe things that weren’t true. Things that couldn't possibly be true but when they said it, you were supposed to somehow just not question their lies, no matter how fanatical they seemed. Their entire existance was to change everything about your life, to even warp the personality of who they were trying to influence. To make the person act as someone else, as if their mind wasn’t their own, controlled. Some of them had a 'horrible' past which they used to thier advantage. They were appearently perfect, until you saw through them. If you were able to, that is. If you weren’t, you would be trapped in a fantasy world where the Mary Sue had total control. They were also said to be exceptionally beautiful. They were only rumours, nothing to be believed of course.

Just to make sure, Kai swerved into a nearby alleyway. Like a true shadow, it followed. ‘Great. A fangirl.’ As much as Kai didn’t want to do training with Tyson, he would rather do that instead of talking to some hyperactive girl who couldn’t even talk in comprehensible English. She wasn’t trying to hide herself though, like the rest of them did. Not that they were any good but they at least tried.

He turned around, crossed his arms and began to glare at the female. Or tried to. The sun was directly behind her head, creating a halo around her that hurt to look at. She moved, probably seeing that Kai couldn't see her very well. Kai eyes widened when he saw what she was wearing.

She was wearing a dark blue silk dress covered with red phoenixes that swept the ground. Her hair was the colour of the setting sun, tied in a braid that reached the small of her back (Kai didn’t question how he knew this). Her skin was as white as ivory, as cool as alabaster, in contrast with her clothing. Not one spot blemished her skin either. Her high checkbones gave her an exotic look (apart from the fact that he had travelled all over the world and had seen many different people so much that it didn't faze him anymore). Looking higher, he saw that her eyes were the the same colour of the sky, that suddenly looked like it was tourquise, became green and then returned to its original blue. Letting his eyes travel south, he saw that the girl’s full lips were blood red and even lower than that, a sparkling necklace lay on her collarbone. It was a curious thing – it looked like a see-through ruby red medallion in the shape of a bitpiece. As if that would have any relevance.

The girl took a step towards him. The dress whispered across the ground like dry leaves in a wind. "Kai," the girl whispered. Her voice! It was so quiet, yet it was like she was trying to tell him something just from the way she said his name. He waited for her to say more, his glare now gone from his face, anticipating what she would say. "I have finally found you. After sixteen years of separation, I have finally found you, my twin brother!" she declared. She then ran forward and gave the Russian blader a tight hug.

Kai’s brain went into overdrive. ‘Twin sister? How the hell can I have a twin sister? Grandfather would have told me about her. And she’s sixteen. A year older than me!’ the thoughts ran quickly through his mind. Kai shoved her off him and she fell to the ground, a shocked look gracing her perfect face.

"Brother?" she said, looking up at him in confusion. "What are you doing?" she asked, bewildered.

"You are delusional," he replied shortly. "I am an only child, and to be twins," he said, stressing the word, "we would have to be the same age which you just pointed out that we are not. Grandfather would have also said if I had a sibling. Something that I'm sure that he has never done."

"Grandfather?" the girl's face twisted in disgust. "He’s a-a meanie! He sent me away to an orphanage! I thought that our parents were dead and that I was all alone in the world!" she wailed, not even trying to pick herself up off of the ground.

Kai glowered at her. She thought that her childhood was bad. There was no way that this girl could have a drop of Hiwatari blood in her. How could he have been attracted to her in the first place? ...Attracted? If they were twins…

Unbidden, his lips formed the question, "Were you adopted?" What was happening to him? He should be turning and walking away! Not-

"No!" the girl sobbed, dipping her head and covering her face with her hands. "I have been in that wretched orphanage for my entire life! I wasn’t allowed my own stuff either! It was horrible!"

Kai just had to raise an eyebrow at this. If that was true, where did the silk dress and necklace come from then? They couldn’t be family heirlooms because, well, he wouldn’t want them any – Kai mentally slapped himself. She was not a member of his family.

But there was something about her… it called to him to go to her aid, to help her, to be brotherly. Because that was what he was to her: a brother. Someone to be there for her. Since he hadn’t been there for her, in the early years… But they weren’t related! There was a headache forming and there was nothing he could do to prevent it. He was getting conflicting emotions from all sides.

Help her.

Leave her.

Comfort her.

Leave her.

Love her.

Help her.

Leave… her.

Kai felt something at the back of his consiousness. ‘That’s right,’ it whispered. ‘Bring down your walls. Get to know the girl. Your long lost sister. You’re family. Protect her. She needs you. Forget the Bladebreakers. Leave them. Who needs to beybattle anyway? No you, that's for sure. You don’t need them. But your sister does. She’s vulnerable. Don’t fight me. Take her into your arms.’

Kai suddenly stumbled, like he had been dealt a physical blow. The headache that had been building up for the last couple of minutes had finally made itself known. The pounding in his head was unrelenting - it felt like it was going make his head burst open when he felt something slipping out of his pocket.

Clink.

Looking down, he saw a blue and red beyblade. Confused, he continued to stare at it. Whose was it? It wasn’t his, that was for sure. He didn’t ‘blade, his sister wouldn’t want him to.

The disk in the middle began to glow a dark red.

Since he was watching Dranzer, he didn’t see his sister’s face contort into rage. "NO! He’s mine!" She began to breathe heavily as if she was concentrating on something or in pain. She glared at the beyblade a full Hiwatari death glare. ‘See? See? She does have Hiwatari blood in her. How could you doubt her? Leave the ‘blade in the dust. Break it.’

The glow grew and grew until it began to manifest itself into the form of a giant bird. Kai gaped at it, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu. The bird spread its wings and then enveloped him with them. Seeing the red light surround him, his head became clear again and the headache was gone almost instantly. Outside his sight, Kai could hear the howls of his ‘sister’.

"You’ve had him for years! Let me have him now!" she screeched, her voice no longer soft and gentle. "I need him! He needs me! We’re twins!" Kai was gaining another headache from her cries. It was as if her voicebox had been turned into an out-of-tune violin. "It’s not fair!"

Dranzer’s wings spread out her wings and Kai was able to see his ‘sister’ again. This time, there was no confusion, no added thoughts in his head, nothing.

Somehow, the braid of the girl’s hair had come away and her hair was now blowing around at the sudden appearance of the wind. It was…strange. Now that he was free from her influence he knew that his actions were idiotic but when Dranzer wasn’t there, it made sense to him in a warped way. But how was she doing it?

Dranzer lowered her head and nuzzled Kai’s cheek. The contact cleared his mind even more and he remembered what he had been thinking about before he saw his ‘sister’. The contact also outraged the girl even more.

"No! You’re not supposed to happen!" She pointed to Dranzer. "None of this was supposed to happen! We’re supposed to be together!" she shrieked.

"No," Kai said calmly. "We are not related in any way. We don’t look alike. We have not got the same parents. You, are a Mary Sue."

"I am not!" the girl protested, panic starting to be heard in her voice. "I’m not a Mary Sue! I am Yunalesca Hiwatari! I’m not perfect. I have flaws! Lots of them. I’m shy because no-one liked me, and, and I have a big scar across my back! Do you want to see it?" she blabbered desperately.

"Ugh," he said in disgust. He turned to leave her lying on the ground, but was stopped when her slim fingers grabbed his wrist. She was surprisingly strong for her stature.

"You will not leave me!" she said savagely.

Kai glared at her. Now he wished that he had listened to the rumours more closely. If he had, then maybe he would know how to get rid of her. He knew that they defied all logic but he since had tried telling her that she couldn’t exist, that obviously didn’t work. He’d heard that there was a special weapon that you could use against them but he didn’t know what it was or how to get it either.

Dranzer trilled a few notes. Listening to it, Kai suddenly felt his left arm feel a little heavier than normal. Looking at it, he saw that Dranzer’s glow had spread to cover his arm. As he continued to watch, the glow began to condense around his hand and into a sort of staff.

Or not.

The top of the staff stretched and widened until it looked like a spoon. The tip of it then thinned into three sharp points. Dranzer dipped her head again, this time to breathe on his hair, ruffling it.

Kai closed his eyes, and let himself relax so much it was like he was in a trance. "A Spork," he murmered.

During the transformation, Kai’s ‘sister’ had let go of him and was backing away, fear in her eyes. Kai spun the Spork in his hands like he had known how to for years.

She had to get away. Kai opened his eyes and leveled his gaze towards his ‘sister’. Warn the others. He had found the Weapon. If he was able to find it, he must know how to-

Her thoughts stopped – along with her heartbeat.

Before she was even a metre away from her ‘brother’, Kai had taken two steps and thrust the Spork into her chest. Kai smirked at her while her eyes stared at the thing sticking out out of her body.

She screamed one last time before she no longer had any breath left in her. Kai pulled out the Weapon.

There was no blood.

Slumping against the stone wall, her body began to fade and disappear. Her lips lost their red hue. Her ever-changing eyes drained of colour. There was a fizzing noise as the silk melted away to nothingness. The medallian cracked and then shattered into pieces of glass.

Kai watched dispassionately as it happened. So that was what a Mary Sue was. Or could be like. He hoped that he wouldn’t run into any more but if he did, he had the perfect Weapon.

Dranzer flapped her wings, drawing Kai's attention back to her. He turned around and Dranzer stared at him. -‘Beware Kai,’- a voice in his head said. It wasn’t the same voice as last time. This one sounded wiser and older. -‘Mary Sues do not travel alone. They travel in packs. That is why you have only heard rumours. Remember all that you know and what has happened. If you do this, Mary Sues will have a harder time controlling you. Look behind you.’-

Kai did and he saw something on the ground where –Kai shuddered- Yunalesca had been before. It was a small see-through yellow disk that was surrounded by something which looked like cling-film. Poking out of the edge of the disk was a white stick. Next to it was a slip of paper. "You have got to be joking."

It was a lolipop: lemon flavoured.

Bending down on one knee, Kai picked up both the lolipop and the slip of paper. Turning it over, he read,

Thank you.


He turned around to look at his bitbeast. Her eyes showed that she was laughing. -‘Oh yes. You get rewards for every Mary Sue you kill. So you’ll have something to look forward to.’-

Kai rolled his eyes. "Please. I’ll look forward to their death. Not little pieces of sugar."

Dranzer, still smiling with her eyes, faded from view. -‘You will remember how to call up the Spork. There is no need to worry.’- Kai nodded, picked up his beyblade and started to walk towards his original destination again. He wasn’t going to eat it. For all he knew, the lolipop could have been dipped in whatever made Mary Sues or poison.

Smirking, Kai thought, ‘I’ll give it to Tyson then.’

And if it was dipped in the former... Kai’s smirk widened. He would just have to kill Tyson.

It was for the good of mankind of course.
