Its not neccesary to read this former fanfiction to understand this story. You are welcomed to do so, though! :) Hopefully you will enjoy this! ;)

Madoka´s POV

I looked out of the window of my car. The sky was tar-black and the large clouds were moving towards me. I heard a tapping on the window and then it became a pitter-patter. People ran for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds spat out their beads of water. Puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier. The roofs of the cars danced with spray and I could hear the murmuring of the rain through the window. It sounded like the buzzing of angry bees.

Rainy days always brought back old memories. I still remembered how it felt to be kissed under the rain. It only happend once and it had been a very special kiss. He had been my first love. I had been so head over heals in love with him. Even though he rejected me first...I had been quite persistent. I had to smirk, remembering these days. I had witnessed a lot of firsts with him. We had been so happy together...but this happiness didnt last long...soon I had to learn that there is nothing as happily ever after. My boyfriend, Ginga Hagane disappeared. He didnt say anything. It just happened. From one day to the other, he was gone. I never understood why.

First I had been very worried of course. I was sure, that something must have happened to him, not believing that he would leave me like that. But time proved me wrong. His father went back to Koma, not willing to tell anyone something about his son´s whereabouts. The only thing, I had been told was that he left on a journey. I never got the chance to contact him. He didnt write or call me...in fact I didnt hear anything from him. Soon I realized that he wasnt coming back. It took me quite a while to get over this shock.

After a few weeks the other legendary bladers disappeared as well. The gang was not longer what it used to be...most of them went their own way. Hikaru and Benkei stayed in Metal City. Tsubasa became the new director of the WBBA. As crazy as it sounded, life continued. Seven years had passed since then.

Madoka stopped the car in the driveway. She wondered, if she should wait inside the car, until the rain got less or if she just should hurry inside. She decided for the second option, since she didnt mind getting wet and who knew how long this sudden rainstorm would last.

I entered my small appartment. It was right above my shop, the B-pit. I switched on the lights in the floor. My parents were smiling at me from that old frame on the wall. Mr. Amano had passed away three years ago in a plane crash. He had been the only family, I had. My life never has been easy. Actually it was quite sad and depressing... I never would have been able to stand all of this on my own. I was very grateful to my dear friends, just as Hiakru and Tsubasa, who always had been there for me. That way I was able to go on.

Things changed after all. A new generation of blader was born and since then a lot of pleasing things had happened. I was very happy to see, that beyblading was developing into a new era. Zero Kurogane and his friends were bringing fresh wind. I liked them all very much, especially this little girl Maru. She reminded me a lot of my own self. Maru was such a nice girl and always very interested in collecting new data about beyblades. I smiled thinking about her. Right now, the Neo Battle tournament was taking place. I wondered how Zero and his friends were doing. Today Shinobou had been defeated by Kiara at Neon Blader. He got injured in this battle. I couldnt deny the fact, that I hated the turn this tournament was taking. It reminded me way too much of the accidents at Battle blader back then. Though his injuries hadnt been very serious. Maru had already contacted me, telling me that Shinobou was doing better now.

Still, these DNA guys are dangerous. We have to be more careful.

I recalled the talk with Tsubasa, I had right now. I had been at the WBBA a few moments ago.

*flashback*

Tsubasa? Honestly... I think you should disqualify Kira from the tournament. That would be the best!

Sorry, no can do, he replied.

What? But...just today, didnt you see how he battled? His new beyblade has too much attack power! I dont want them getting more involved into this. Its too dangerous!

But...that way, it would be as if we are afraid of him.

We are not! But the risk, that more bladers take damage of this is too high! It would be unreasonable to let things continue like this!

Zero will be able to win against him. Im sure about that...

Hm...Im not that sure...Do you really think that this would be a good idea? Didnt you see how angry he got?

I did!

If he is not able to control his feelings, he wont be in the state to defeat anyone! Do you really want to risk that? I was getting furious.

Benkei, who was in the same room too; hadnt said a word yet. But now, he interfered:

Im sorry Madoka, but I have to admit that I can see both of your sides. Still I believe that Tsubasa is right!

What? Had both of them turned into complete douchebags?

I was pissed with both of them.

Fine... I was fuming now. But dont blame me, when things dont turn out the way you think!

Benkei smiled. Im sure, Zero will be able to handle this, Madoka. Just like Ginga did!

For a moment I froze at his words. Normally we didnt bring up his name. Benkei seemed to notice that he said something to upset me.

I-eh... I didnt mean to... He quickly stattered.

Its okay, Benkei. I dont mind. I sighed.

It actually was true. I only had been surprised a little. There was nothing more than that. It was kind of exhausting, since a lot of things reminded me of him lately. Zero had a lot in common with a certain red head. Even more than the knew.

Tsubasa and I shared a short look. He knew, how I felt about this issue. That was eventually the reason, why he waited so long, before he asked me out again. Yeah, it was kind of ironic, but I had agreed on this.

*End of flashback*

It wasnt easy, by any means. Some afternoons, Hikaru would find me crying in my room. And some morning, Madoka just didnt have the motivation to get out of bed. But little by little, as slow as a snail, she was able to put away all the old relics without a second glance or hesitation.

Ginga would have wanted her to move on and be happy right?

Madoka had to repeat this thought continously to herself. After all she deserved some happiness too. Pretty soon, living without Ginga seemed relatively normal. She adjusted to this strange and new chapter of her life. And surprisingly she adjusted well enough to start dating again.

She loved Tsubasa that was for certain, but deep down she knew she could never love him, like she had loved Ginga. There was something about first love that always withstood the test of time. Something about its genuine passion and innocence could not extort an ounce of its romance.

Tsubasa had waited nearly five years, before he asked her out. He wanted to make sure she was ready and secure. Even though Madoka never had been asking for a relationship, quite a lot of guys had asked her out, but she had always refused. She hadnt been able to trust someone so easily again. That was why Tsubasa waited so long. He knew how hard it was for Madoka to put the past behind her and wanted to make sure he wasnt rushing her into anything she would regret later.

She had dated Tsubasa once, but things hadnt worked out. They had remained good friends though and it was him, who had been her shoulder to cry on, during the strenuous time of mourning. He had been always on her side. She was more than grateful to have him as her boyfriend.

So? What do you think? :) Im looking forward to read your opinion!

As always thanks a lot for reading! Have a nice day :*
