'Dammit,' Kai cursed as he turned the corner. 'There's no-one here.' And there wasn't. Not a single person.

"I knew that I could find you here!" a voice shouted. "Kai!"

Kai blinked, slowed down and glanced around himself. The rest of the Bladebreakers were still a little bit behind him so obviously
she would be talking to him, no need to shout his name...

Again, Kai blinked as he looked at the wall beside him. On top of it was... a person. That person then jumped down so that s/he was in front of Kai but with his/her back to him. Said person was wearing a cloak so Kai couldn't see any distinguishing features or clothing.

"Do you have any idea how long I have waited for this day?" the person hissed. The person then whirled around to look at Kai - even though that person had the hood up, Kai guessed that the person was probably glaring at him.

"Nope. Have we met before?"

"Have we met?" the other person repeated. By the time the rest of the Bladebreakers had mostly caught up and were slowly walking towards the two. "Of course we've met! You must recognise me!" the stranger yanked his/her hood back. Simultaneously, there was a thunderclap from the sky above them.

Which was interesting since the sky was clear and sunny.

"Huh. I could have sworn you were male because of your voice."

The girl looked taken aback by that statement before she regained her composure. "What?! How dare you!" The girl's hands clenched by her side.

Kai shrugged. "You were shouting all the time and it sounded hoarse."

In a flash, the girl took two steps towards Kai with her hand raised. She brought it down with as much force as she could muster - Kai caught it before it came anywhere near her face.

"You... You bastard! You have the nerve to say that after you raped me five years ago!" she shrieked.

Kai abruptly let go of her and because she was trying to jerk her hand away she fell on her backside. He heard the collection of gasps behind him. Rubbing the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed, Kai said, "Look, Mary Sue -"

"I'm not a Mary Sue!"

"You're obviously at least twenty years old -"

"I'm the same age as you!"

Silence. "...You can not be serious. You're... too, big to be thirteen."

"I. Am."

"Whatever. Anyway, you said that I'd raped you five years ago?"

"Yes! You hurt -"

"That means that I would have been eight."

"Uh... Well, you were mature for your age!"

"Except that I was in the Abbey at that time."

"We were there at the same time!"

"It only accepts boys. So unless there's something else that you want to tell me, that... scenario couldn't have happened. Also, I would have been focusing on beyblading and nothing else at that age."

The girl was finally silent. She was shaking. "Why... why aren't you affected?! You shouldn't be thinking of the logically! You should have just accepted the fact that you'd raped me!" she shouted.

"What?!" Tyson yelled. Both Kai and the girl looked at him. "What do ya mean, 'just accepted the fact'? I know Kai's hard to get on with sometimes but he isn't a rapist. What is wrong with you?"

Kai turned back to look at the girl. "It doesn't matter what you say," he said quietly, "I've only been out of the Abbey for two years and during that entire time, I was training. During the whole of last year, I was with the Bladebreakers. There was no time that I could have done what you said that I've done."

She looked up to him with scared eyes. "You've met them, haven't you?"

Kai smirked. "A few."

"I see... I didn't really want to play this role anyway," she whispered. She closed her eyes and then, like Yunalesca, she started to fade. There was nothing left afterwards - except from the pink sphere and piece of paper beside it; Kai pocketed both of them.

'Why did that work?'

-'There are strong Sues and weak Sues. Some just need logic to be beaten, others need something stronger.'-

'Hm.'

"Kai? Now are you going to explain everything?" Tyson demanded.

"Yes, will you Kai?" a new voice asked. The Bladebreakers recognised him as the one who had been sitting on Tyson's windowsill. He was leaning on the side of a car with his arms crossed lightly against his chest with a small smile on his face. "Will you be telling them of what's been happening to you?" His voice was soft as he stood up and approached them. "Will you tell them so that they'll become targets as well?"

Kai's eyes narrowed at the approaching man. "Who are you?"

His answer was the smile widening. "A friend. I can help you with your problem."

"I don't have a..." Realising something, Kai looked at the person closely. He received a slow nod and a smile turning into a smirk.

"Kai, whatever your problem is, we can help as well," Max stated.

As a reply, Kai scoffed. "I suppose that you would want to, but I'd rather that you didn't."

The stranger nodded. "You made the right choice." By now, he was standing next to Kai, shoulder to shoulder. Kai was then startled to see that the stranger was starting to glow a dull red - it wasn't like the bright red that Dranzer gave off. Placing his hand on Kai's shoulder, Kai was suddenly aware of a flash of light.

And then the scenery changed.

Instead of being surrounded by buildings and tarmac, they were now surrounded by trees and grass. Kai instantly shrugged the hand off his shoulder and glared at the man. "Where are we -"

"And how did you do it," he finished quietly with a sad, knowing smile. "To answer your first question, we are on the other side of the city. As for you second question," he paused and leaned closer towards Kai, smiling, "did you know that there can be male versions of Mary Sues?"

:-:-:

"Dammit!" Tyson cursed. "Where the heck did they go?"

Ray looked around carefully. What they had done was physically impossible. No-one could disappear like that. It wasn't like stage magic; there had been no flash, no smoke, no distraction. The just... vanished. He didn't want to think how Kenny's brain was trying to make sense of this.

So, in the last five minutes, three people had disappeared. And the way that the first one did -Ray eyed the spot she had last been seen- he doubted that she would be coming back any time soon.

For all they knew, that ... teleportation could have only taken them around the corner and then ran off. Ray sighed as he thought, 'We're back to where we started: we have no idea where they are.'

:-:-:

Kai instantly backed up as soon as he heard what had been said. He was stopped when his scarf was caught in a fist and he was yanked forward.
"You don't have a clue do you?" The words were hissed as Kai was brought even closer. They were then seeing eye to eye, noses nearly touching. "You were doing this out of defence; fine. But do you have any idea of the repercussions that can happen because of that?"

Kai brought up his hand to push the other man away but his wrist was grabbed and then squeezed. Kai swiftly used his other arm to elbow the man in the gut. The response was a grunt and a toothy smile. That smile gave an impression of a predator toying with its prey.

That man's arm bent more until Kai was looking over the other man's shoulder. "Awww. Have you already forgotten?" was whispered in his ear. "I said that I was a friend didn't I?"

Growling, Kai snapped back, "And I've had people tell me that I'm their brother, someone came from another world and another that said I raped her. Why should I believe you?" He struggled against the grip around his scarf until the other man let go, who instantly grabbed his other hand and did some sort of maneuver that ended up with Kai having on arm shoved up painfully the wrong way up his back and the other circled around his neck.

"Well, have you been feeling any different after meeting me?" Warm breath tickled his ear. He hated that playful tone. "I know you haven't. There are no other thoughts in your head giving anvil sized hints of what you should do. The questions you've asked are ones that you actually wanted to ask." Kai just knew that man had that small smile on his face again. "You've seen the costumes that the Mary Sues were wearing; do I look like that?"

Kai grunted. "I do not want to have mental images of you in a dress."

Light laughter. "Oh, I definitely like you. Now, are you going to be glaring at me all the time while being silent or are you willing to actually listen to me?" A scoff from Kai. "Why is it that I'm the one who's asking all the questions?"

"What proof do I have -"

"That I won't hurt you? Come, come, dear Kai. You know that answer to that. You've known since you saw me, you just hadn't formed the proper connections yet."

"It's impossible. How -" Kai shook his head. "I..."

"Don't understand," the voice murmured. "I know." The voice was suddenly different. Comforting instead of belittling. "I'm far too different."

"In every single sense." A bit back growl. "And how -"

"Do I exist?"

"Stop doing that," Kai snapped.

"Hmm. I know you saw it just before we teleported."

Dranzer's aura, but it was darker. Tainted. "How did you teleport?"

The hands that clutched Kai's wrists let go and Kai whirled around to glare at... him.

"You want to know?" The voice was back to being soft instead of playful. "I can teleport because of them. Mary Sues. They did this to me. I look like this because I was under their influence far too long. It was too late when I was finally able to break myself free.

"My appearance and personality had been warped so much that it was impossible to go back to what I used to be. You might have noticed that my emotions skip around a little bit. You have no idea how lucky you are, resisting them so early on." He was bitter, Kai could tell. And he knew why.

Kai didn't think that he was lucky. How could he be lucky for knowing that they exist? But eying the other man was giving him second thoughts. "What should I call you?"

A shrug and a genuine smile. "Kai Hiwatari the second?"
