Chapter 1

*Shun's POV*

I was walking around the forest, trying to find that alluring melody. I finally made it to the end of the forest. There, I saw a young girl about my age playing a flute. She has a long, flowing purple hair and warm dark blue eyes. I feel like I'm in a trance because the next thing I knew, I was going closer to her. She eventually saw me and stopped playing her flute. She smiled at me and ran towards the deepest part of the forest.

"Hey, Shun, wake up!"

I slowly opened my eyes and sighed. I completely forgot that Dan and the others are still with me.

"About time you wake up," Dan exclaimed impatiently. "You were dazing off earlier, by the way."

"Was it a dream?" Julie perked up; she is known for being a scatter-brain and a loud mouth. "It's good one, isn't it?"

I shrugged. I didn't feel like talking about my dream so I just remained quiet while Dan and Julie began arguing. I slightly turned my head to the window and heard a soft melody. The same melody in my dream.

That melody… The same melody, I thought

"Um… earth to Shun, are you still there?" Runo said while waving a hand over my face.

"Huh?" I asked, completely unaware about what they did.

"Are you daydreaming?" Dan asked, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"N-no…" I stuttered. I could feel all eyes of my friends staring at me and blushed slightly.

"By the way, did you hear about Sayo Korugure?" Alice asked. I'm glad she changed the subject because all my friends were paying attention to her.

"Sayo Korugure?" Marucho asked. "Who is she?"

Alice smiled. "She's the recently new 3rd ranked brawler in the world. She's coming to town for a visit."

"What attribute does she use?" Runo asked.

"From what I heard, she uses Ventus and Darkus attributes," Alice replied.

"Do you think we could see her today?" Julie asked.

"Maybe," Marucho replied. "If she still has time."

"OK!" My friends yelled in unison and went outside.

"Shun, you coming?" Dan asked before he left.

I shook my head. "I'll catch up with you guys later."

Dan left as soon as I said those words. I continued staring in the window and thought about the girl I met in my dreams.

Why do I keep thinking about her? I thought. As I was lost in thought, I saw the clouds turning gray and started to go out of my seat. I'd better get going before it begins to rain.

*Sayo's POV*

I continued playing my flute. I always feel better when I played it. Being in this new town is a bit odd for me. I mean, I used to live in Albuquerque, New Mexico!

"Sayo," Skyress, my Ventus Bakugan I found in New Vestroia, perked up. "Is something wrong?"

I shook my head as I put down my flute. "No, nothing's wrong Skyress."

Before Skyress could say anything, Hades, my Darkus Bakugan, exclaimed. "Sayo, I know something's wrong with you! You basically put your flute down and tilt your head slightly down!"

"Hush, Hades!" Skyress scolded my Darkus Bakugan. I smiled at the two and picked them up. I put them on both of my shoulders and placed my flute back in my bag.

"Sayo, are you sure you're okay?" Skyress asked.

"Everything's fine Skyress," I replied. "You don't need to worry about me."

Skyress sighed while Hades seemed to jump for joy. I looked at the clouds and noticed it was gray. I opened my bag and unfolded my foldable umbrella. When I opened my umbrella, rain began to pour from the sky. I walked around the sidewalk to my house when I accidentally bumped into someone.

*Shun's POV*

I stumbled backwards when I hit the girl in front of me. Hell! I just made a fool of myself in front of a girl.

"Shun, are you okay?" Ingram, my Ventus Bakugan, asked.

"Y-yeah…" I stuttered. I picked up Ingram and placed him back on my shoulder.

"Your name is… Shun?" The girl asked. She is exactly the same girl in my dreams. She has long, flowing purple hair and warm dark blue eyes. On her shoulders rested a Darkus Bakugan and a Ventus Bakugan who seems to be…

"Skyress!"

"Shun!" Skyress replied and hopped out of the girl's shoulder.

"Skyress, you know him?" The girl asked.

"Yes," Skyress replied to the girl. "I used to be his Guardian Bakugan before I was sent back to New Vestroia."

"Oh, well, that's good," The girl replied, picking up Skyress back on her shoulder. "You seem to be a good brawler since you took great care to Skyress."

I shrugged. The girl smiled and put her hand out. "I'm Sayo Korugure and this is my Darkus Bakugan, Hades."

"Yo!" Hades perked up.

Sayo Korugure? The 3rd rank brawler in the world?I stared at her in disbelief.

"Um… you're making me blush." Sayo said uncomfortably.

"Oh, sorry," I replied. "I'm Shun Kazami and this is my Ventus Bakugan, Ingram."

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Ingram replied.

Sayo smiled. "Well, it's nice meeting you, Shun."

She bowed before me and walked away.
