Chapter One // Transformation

(Tyson's POV)

Do you ever felt down and along and you need a friend to talk too but can't? ... Well that's me. After my brother didn't let me beyblade against the Blitzkrieg Boys, I felt rejected as a sibling and unworthy to even battle with Dragoon. That also meant I couldn't fight Kai... I sighed heavily in defeat. I still couldn't understand why or what the hell is with his deal anyway. Did not matter, not good to deal with the past I guess. AGH! I'm starting to sound like Rei.

Still.... Rei has a better chance of being with Kai... Ok bad thought for a moment there! Still, at least Kai dosn't need to deal with me, it seems all I do is drive him away. Just like most of my friends it feels like.

I'm not entirely sure how long I've been crushing on him, I just know that I started seeing him in my dreams. About one month ago since he disappeared from the team and I've started having trouble not thinking about him. Was he ok? Was he hurt? Is he even the same Kai?

I am so longing for this guy, it freaks me out.

And then their's the fact that he's the biggest loner in the universe!! Now how cruel is that? Tyson Kinomiya; lovable, always joking, loves his food Tyson, has fallen for Kai, the ice-man himself. The most cold hearted person ever! Aside from Tala, but Kai is the king of the emotionless.

You see what I mean?

Yeah I know, I love a cold hearted bastard, but still I don't know if he love's me. I'm pretty sure, even is he dosnt show it well. I'll tell him some day but not right now. my heart isnt ready to be rejected by someone I care so much for....

(End Tyson's of POV)

Tyson walked down the streets of New York City. He had his hands in his pockets and head down, he still felt down about not being able to go against the one team that Kai was on. He sighed heavily, after a bit of walking to clear his head from anger. He muttered about how his brother didn't understand how he felt. Yet maybe it was for the best that he didnt need to go against his koi. Tyson was in so deep of thought that he did not notice that he had gone in a less populated street.

He looked up and of found himself in front a strange shop. The sign on the shock said "Time of the present". A strange name for a store along with a tacky red roof that was falling apart, walls with cracks in them. And the whole store was black but for the sidings that was a neon green color, it was a strange mismatch. To add too it, the windows where tinted with dust that collected over it. Everybody seemed to ignore it, walking past it without a care. And, when they did past by it, they had a nervous look on their face's, eying the store like a murder was committed inside. Tyson blinked on what could this store, he sighed heavily again and entered it. 'what the hey' he thought.

He entered the store without much care and past a wall of stringed beads that was in the front door. He gave a small eep and push at the stuff as he wasn't expecting it. Tyson stumble back from the door way and winced when the door closed it's self. ".... creeeepy..." he whispered. Tyson looked around the old junk racked pots, cheap paper paintings, wooden furniture, and lots of other things that never caught his eye.

"Man... this place smells of wet dog..." He muttered. But then he stopped and looked to the shelves that was near the cash register. There were lots of bottles on the shelf with kits and baskets under it, on the ground. Tyson's ears twitched as he could hear animal sounds in the backroom and wounder if this person sold pets as well. Tyson looked dumbfounded at the bottles as they gave off this weird glow in the poorly lighted room.

"Hello, young man! How may I help ye?" said a crackling voice behind Tyson. He jumped as high as the roof of the store can allow him. A shiver ran down his spin in near shock and looked behind at the one who spoke.

An old women that had a funky smell of some sort of canine, not a dog sort off since it smelled of the forest as well. She had her back hunched over, with old cloths torn and tattered in places. A shoulder blanket over her hunched back and added grey hair tied in a bun. She used a cane to support her back, it was rather fancy in a way, but he thougth she was holding back on the good from a cheap shop like this. She was half his size. Her cloths covered her body and her face hiding the person like she was a mummy. Tyson blinked and tried the hid the urge to laugh. The women glared hit him on the head.

"Stop ye bickering and talk!" she yelled. Tyson hunched over like the one rubbing his head in pain.

"Sorry" he said as he looked to the side at the old floors and spaced out on her. Thinking about Kai.

The old women looked at Tyson, lifting her tired eyes to his face. "Is ye troubled by something?" she asked.

"huh?...oh umm...yeah I guess" he muttered softly, nodding his head.

"Just as I suspected! I got the thing just for you" She crocked, walking up to the desk with some effort. Tyson wounder what she ment, or how she even knew but followed her anyway.

She went around the back of the desk. bending over slightly to look among the stuff. "I know it's here somewhere" She muttered. Tyson cocked his head to the side at the old lady.

"Here it is!" she ducked up, holding a wooden box. She turned to him and faced him with a sweet smile. She opened up the box and pulled out a vile. In her hand was a vile that is glowing a golden yellow color with a mix of orange collected at the bottom. Tyson stared at it for a moment or two. "That looks disgusting...."

The old lady glared as her smile disappeared "This will help you" she said shoving it against him.

"Hey!" He barked but he held the vile, looking at it for a moment. "....huh? Really?" Tyson said a bit confused about this.

"Yes" She said as her smile started to appear once more.

Tyson looked at it again and a smile spread over his face. "Wow... thanks! How much?" he asked reaching in to his pockets to pull out some money But then the old lady stopped him.

"My son, you may have it for free" She said then walked over to him towards the door to show him out.

"Really!? For free?!" Tyson was surprised but also happy that she let him have for free even.

"Yes my boy" She said and turn back at the selves behind her and started moving some items around to rearrange them once more. The lady was creepy, the place was creepy but the she was nice and offer something as strange as this to help with his troubles... but he sigehd thinking it wont do much.

Tyson just smiled warmly towards her. "Thank you" he said happily and walked out of the store and decided to head towards the park.

"Have fun kid" she smirked as the lady grew taller and a white tail flcked about from out of the cloths. She laughed as amber hair flowed over her shoulders just as she disappeared like a fading memory.

Tyson walked down the street once again with the vile in his hand staring at it. A mystery vile with this weird glowing liquid. Was the lady trying to sell him a glowing stick? He found his way at the park and sat himself down on a bench, in front of a pond. He was curios on what was inside, he opened the vile and sniffed it. He recoiled as it smelled disgusting just on how bad it looked. he was about to close it back up and with out warning Daichi popped out from behind a tree and grabbed Tyson's head and gave him a noogie.

"I found you!" He screamed jumping on him at the same time. Tyson screamed, spilling the stuff all over his chest and arms and the scent was even worst then when it was in the bottle. "Oh ... Oh this is just great Daichi!" He snapped in anger. Tyson growled at the boy, cluctching his hand in to a fist. "Daichi!! Look at what you made me do!" He snarled, Daichi laughed at him, all wet and yellow from the stuff. "You smell like wet cat!" he laughed, holding his gut.

"Yeah, yeah laugh it up, now what are you doing here?" he asked as he knew it was no use in getting at him... it was like a doppelganger of himself but only more annoying like Hilary.

"Hahahahaa..... oh wow..... phew..." He smiled as he giggled a little trying to catch his breath from laughing at Tyson's bad luck. "First the tournament and now this... cant get any better for me. Oh! Kenny told me to look for you and tell that your dragoon is fixed and upgraded" He said jumping off Tyson.

Tyson smiled as it was the only thing that cheered him up. "Wow, cool, tell Kenny that I'll be back. I just need to think for a bit" He said, his voice trailing off as he thought about his conflicting ideas but then shivered at the cold air and his wet cloths.

"Okay Tyson! If you don't hurry! All the hamburgers will be gone!!" He said and ran off quickly. "Oh those tasty Hamburgers! All mine for the next world champion!" he said crying out like a crazy man.

Tyson growled. "Oh yes! I would love to see a little brat be the next world champion!" He put the cap back on the vile and started walking back quickly. He was thinking about his cloths and the food. 'Might as well head back' He though to himself.

Suddenly he felt the most strangest sensation coming over him. Tyson peered out towards the park around him to see if anyone was close to help but their wasn't even a bird chirpping up in the trees. He could not place the feeling he had, his heart was pounding and he felt light-headed, the world spinning all around slowly but got faster as the feeling worsen. Also his limbs felt weak and in pain...why did he hurt so much? Gasping for air as it became hard to breath. He hit his knees to the grass, hunching over as his arms keeping him up.

Tyson Panted more in pain drooling a bit as the scent from that liquid became intoxicating. Soon enough, the boy couldn't support his own weight anymore and gave in. Flopping down on the ground to hold himself. His body was changing, everything was hurting like he was trampled by a wild buffalo. Everything was spinning faster around him.

He squeezed his eyes shut as the horrible pain washed over his body grew more intense and he felt sick to his stomach. Tyson was laying on the grass, helpless and weak. "No ... make it stop..." He groaned closing his eyes even more, hugging himself as he tried to forget the pain, but it was all real. He felt like throwing up and yet, he couldn't bring himself too. Tyson felt so helpless, he groaned and completely out of it on the ground. 'the pain ... make it stop.... someone help me' he thought as some tears streamed down his face. He soon got his wish as the brace of unconscious gripped him, taking him away from the real world.

(Tyson's POV)

My world went black I couldn't take the pain, it was to much for me to even handle. I don't know for how long I was out but when I started to regain conscious as I did I heard voices and felt a warm feeling surround myself. So light, like I was flying and the voices felt like I heard them before.

"Are you sure it's alive?"

"Looks pretty dead"

"it's not dead"

"you sure? and how did you find it?"

"I'm pretty sure and I found it near a bench in the park.

I couldn't understand what they were talking about. I open my eyes and to my shook Tala, Bryan, and Spenser were all around me. I tried to back away but someone had a firm grip on me. I looked up and it was... 'Kai' but strangely, it came out as, "Meow". What's going on!?!

"Aww it's cute" came Tala's voice.

I twitched and turn to Tala. Ok this defiantly needs some Twilight Zone music. I stared at him for a moment, then turn to Kai and gaped at him... "H-He's smiling!' Okay should be Twilight Zone music staring...now. I nearly fainted but got my footing back up and stared at everyone.

I shook my head and looked at myself. My eyes widened at what I saw, where my hands should be were two furry brown paws. It was the same case for my legs, now two furry hind legs. Not to mention the yellow and brown tail, I now sported. I looked at my self even more. I was a golden yellow color with golden brown stripes I had big long ears. I was a cat!!!

'What is going on?' I thought to myself.

"So Kai are you going to keep it?" I heard Spenser asked.

"I guess" he said.

"What are you going to name it?" Bryan now asked. 'A n-name! please not fluffy or mittens or something' I thought and I felt my ears go back... great.

"Well it's brown eye's kinda reminds me of Tyson ... Hmm ... Kasshoku**" Kai said. 'Kasshoku?...not bad i guess' I thought.

"Sounds good Kai" Tala said.

I looked at kai and he looked down at me. "mew"-ok- I said. he smiled and petted me and scratched my ears...that felt good.

"Kasshoku it is then" I heard kai said I guess this woun't be so bad maybe.
