I don't own Bakugan Battle Brawlers... what I do own is Mika...:D
Hope you like this story! this is just chapter 1... please read and review! thank you...

Mika Akatsuki is 3rd in the ranking of the Bakugan Brawler ranking list. She appears in the list out of nowhere. She is an emotionless brawler. She never shows any emotions to anyone. Mika was once Shun and Dan's playmate & childhood friend. Even when she was kid she was completely emotionless. Mika just listens to what her elder brother says, and obeys everything he tells her to do. Her elder brother, Kazuki, Akatsuki, always forbid her to play with Dan and Shun. But Mr. Riyu lets her play with them. Mr. Riyu has been Mika's caretaker since birth. He has watched Mika do everything while growing up. Then, Mika and Kazuki had to move to another city. But before she left, Mika looked for Shun and gave him a ribbon.

One day, Dan was on his way home from school with Drago, and then Drago sensed that there are people following them.

Drago said to Dan, "Hey, Dan, don't you sense anyone following us?" Then Dan stopped at his track and observed his surroundings, and he answered Drago, "No, there isn't anyone else here but us. Anyway, don't mind them, they must be brawlers wanting to Brawl with me."

Then he arrived home, "I'm home!" he said.

"Oh, you're home! Dinner's going to be ready soon," Dan's mom said.

"Okay, I'll be in my room," Dan said going up to his room.

When he arrived in his room, he went to his computer to check if Runo and the rest were online, and he saw they weren't, so he checked the Ranking list instead. And he was surprised to see a girl in the 3rd rank. He said to Drago, "Hey, Drago, this girl wasn't here yesterday, right?"

Drago answered him, "Yes, she wasn't. That's a bit strange now, isn't it?"

"Yeah… and she seems familiar to me, too," Dan said.

Then suddenly his mom called him, "Dan! It's time for dinner!"

"Okay! Be right there!" he said.

Then he went downstairs, and the news was on TV. The news was showing a girl with long hair with ribbons, and a boy who looks a few years older than the girl.

The newscaster was saying, "And here is the 17 year old son and the 13 year old daughter of Mr. Shiro Akatsuki, owner of the Akatsuki Corporation. Both of them arrived this morning with their caretaker and went home to their old Mansion." Then Dan recognized the girl as the 3rd ranking Brawler he saw earlier, and he also saw two Haos Bakugan on either of her shoulder. Then he ate dinner with his parents.

After he ate dinner, Dan immediately went back to his room and checked his computer. And right on time, Runo and the others were online. Then, Dan told them about the girl he saw in the Brawler list and on the news.

"I'm telling you guys, she just showed up on the Brawler list today! Yesterday, she wasn't!" said Dan.

"Calm down, Dan," said Alice.

"Yeah, you're getting too worked up about this girl over nothing," said Julie.

"Dan, you're not actually seeing this girl, now are you?" said Runo.

"Of course not, Runo!" said Dan.

"Well, does she seem familiar to you, Dan?" said Merucho.

"Well, now that you mentioned it, Merucho, she did seem familiar to me…" said Dan.

Shun was silent. "Shun, you seem really quiet?" said Julie.

"Hmph, I have no intention to get myself involved in Dan's worthless problem," said Shun.

"What did you just say?!" said Dan.

"Whatever," said Shun, then Shun went offline.

And then Dan said, "Oh, when I see that guy, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!"

"Relax, Dan, maybe he just has problems with his grandfather right now," said Merucho.

"Yeah, Merucho's right! Don't be so hard on the guy," said Julie.

"Anyway, I gotta go now, you guys. I have to study now, see you!" said Merucho, and he went offline…

"Well, I gotta go now as well," said Julie, and she went offline now as well.

"Why don't you two check if she's online," said Alice.

"What for?" said Runo.

"Nothing, just check, if you two have the time, I have to go now as well, bye!" said Alice, going offline.

Then Runo said, "Are you going to check?"

"Nah, I'll just study a bit, how about you?" answered Dan.

"I'll check, but I won't speak to her," said Runo.

"Okay, bye!" said Dan, and he too went offline.

Runo checked and she saw that the girl was online. Then Runo went offline now as well.
