Very Important :

This is the new version of "Ten Gals", my old fic.I've discontinued Ten Gals fanfiction. Because I didn't like it. It had lots of mistakes and now this fic is the same as that fic but re-written and has some differences in the plot and characters. yes, I'm rewriting it. Here's the first chapter! Read and Review the new Ten Gals.

Ichi-go Ichi-e is this fic's title and it means "one time, one meeting" in japanese. Aside from its literal meaning, the term is often translated as "never again" ," one chance in a life time" or "for this time only". I have no idea why I picked this title but I like it.

Chapter-1

.: Hiwatari Heir :.

Inside Mr. Dickenson's office, few people were waiting for the BBA chairman to come.

"Why did Mr.D asked us to come here?" asked Tyson Granger. He was starting to get impatient. He was wearing a baseball cap, yellow shirt and grey jeans with a red coat.

"Tyson, This is the forty sixth time you asked that question, dude! I counted" said Max, who was spending his time by counting Tyson's impatient questions. He was wearing a blue shirt with a huge smiley face in it with ivory pants. He looked excited despite his friends who look kind of bored.

"I think it must be important seeing the rush in his voice" said Ray. He was clearly a neko-jin and a sensible one. He looked like the only sane person in the room.

A brown haired boy was typing in his laptop furiously like there was no tomorrow, his eyes weren't seen. He was popularly known as "Chief", otherwise known as Kenny. He said to the other boys "it is not about any tournament because Dizzi cant find any on the internet"

"Then why does he wants to see us? I'm busy, you know,the world champ…..blah blah yada yada" was our world champ's reply. Although this was Tyson's reaction, he was clearly curious and ready for an adventure. The past three years had been eventful and he wanted more action.

"Granger, Hold your horses, why don't you asked those questions to him?" said Kai Hiwatari. Kai looked very irritated. The former BladeBreakers were asked to assemble in the BBA Chairman's office and he wasn't the type to enjoy reunions when he was yet to defeat Tyson. What was more infuriating for him was that they had been waiting for a while but no sign of Mr. Dickenson.

Then the said chairman entered the room and welcomed his former team.

"Boys, I've got important news." said Mr.D. "First, I would like you to meet Mr.Rivers."

A black-haired man with cat-like green eyes stepped into the room. He grinned at them. The team chorused "Hello, Mr. Rivers." Kai, however, didn't say a thing. He merely glared in acknowledgment.

Mr. Dickenson looked more serious and said " I know you all are wondering why you are here. What I'm about to tell you maybe a little serious." -His eyes were fixed on Kai but he averted his eyes to the others soon -"but it is quite simple and I need your help and coordination. It's a problem actually. Of course, solving it would test your patience" Again Mr. Dickenson looked at Kai - " But I hope you'd do it for me." He paused.

"Serious than BEGA?" asked Tyson. He looked so excited that the others could see shining stars in his background. Typical Tyson.

"Serious than BEGA" nodded Mr. Dickenson. "Also, related to BEGA, to be more particular, Boris."

No one said anything although everyone looked at Kai before letting Mr.Dickenson continue. Kai asked, "How so?"

Mr. Dickenson sighed. " Well, As you know, Voltaire Hiwatari is dead." Everyone nodded. " The legal heir would be our Kai. But for Kai to inherit the Hiwatari property, Voltaire has set three conditions. One, Kai must marry."

The former team members' head turned to Kai, who only glared and was apparently thinking. Ray spoke up, " Kai isn't hasn't reached the legal age to marry."

Mr. Dickenson nodded but didn't tell anything about it and continued, "Two, Kai must choose one of ten girls that his god father approve of. By godfather, I mean Mr. Darian Rivers here."

Kai looked at Mr. Rivers as if he was an alien. He asked surprised, "He's my what?"

The green-eyed man, who was silent when the BBA Chairman explained, replied, "Godfather, Kai. and Don't you worry, I'll get you the best girls and I have a correction to make. Kai will not be choosing a girl from the ten girls I'll suggest. It'll be a competition between the ten girls. The best one will be Kai's bride."

"Fine. Whatever. I don't want the Hiwatari property so I won't have to .." said Kai but was cut off by Mr. Dickenson.

"I haven't stated the third condition yet, Kai. If Kai doesn't agree to the first two conditions, the property will go to Boris. I don't want that especially what happened last year. I don't want another BEGA. Boris has influence and if he gets the Hiwatari property, it could be trouble for us and everyone."

Tyson started talking again, saving Kai from replying, " So you're telling, a competition between ten girls and the winner gets Kai. If Kai doesn't agree, Boris becomes the heir and he starts a take-over-beyblading-world-scheme?"

"Yes, that's about it." said Mr. Rivers. He and Mr. Dickenson were waiting for Kai to talk.

Kai, who was figuring ways to escape this situation, simply said, "Like Ray said, I'm not of legal age to marry."

"That wouldn't be a problem" said Mr. Rivers. " All you have to do is have the winner become your fiancee and when you are of legal age you could marry."

"That makes sense." said Max unexpectedly "But you'd need Kai alone for this, right? But Mr. D mentioned that it had something to do with us, well, other than Kai."

Mr. Rivers grinned as Kai had a sinking feeling in his stomach and he resisted the urge to jump out of the window and run away. "Oh yes, we'll be needing you all to help out. We'll be using the Hiwatari mansion. It has enough rooms to accomodate the girls and Kai's friends." said Mr. Rivers.

"How will we be helping out?" asked Ray.

"You'll find out soon enough" was all Mr. River's reply. He handed Kai a file labelled "Ten Gals". Kai took it and again resisted the urge to throw the file into fire or use dranzer on it.

"Well, boys, I'm leaving everything under Darian Rivers' control. I'm sure everything will be fine. It all requires Kai's patience and Kai, I hope you'll agree. I'm counting on you." said Mr. Dickenson.

"Fine. Whatever." said Kai. Everyone took that as a 'yes'. "I don't see any other alternative here" Kai added. That was true.

"Kai and his friends, do assemble in Hiwatari mansion tomorrow by 10 a.m. Kai, you can go through this file to get an idea of the Ten Girls." said Mr. Rivers, tapping the file on Kai's hand. Kai said a "Hn."

"Okay, boys." said Mr. Dickenson "You can leave now."

"Yes, Mr. D." chorused the bladebreakers and waved as they left. All of them , except Kai. Kai headed to his apartment, glaring at the file. It seemed a wonder that the file didn't start burning. After reaching the apartment, he was surprised to find his former teammates waiting for him to get inside. Usually, Kai would go home without saying 'see you's and 'bye's after any meeting. His team mates didn't mind and didn't follow him around. He turned to them and raised an eyebrow.

All he received was sheepish smiles.

"Well" Tyson began "We were curious to see those ten girls, Mr. Rivers mentioned."

Max continued," So we thought we'd come with you"

Ray said understandingly, "We figured you'd need moral support. Kenny left though. Had something to do."

Kai sighed and nodded. He let them in. Tyson and Max raided Kai's refridgerator and brought snacks. Kai was used to his team mates habits so he merely let them do whatever they wanted and sat on the couch in the living room. Tyson took the seat next to Kai. Ray sat down on the floor, which was covered in carpet, near Kai's legs, looking at the file. Max sat on the arm-rest, that was near Kai.

Tyson grabbed the file and opened it. Kai didn't seem like he wanted to open it. But of course, Kai wanted to see it as he wouldn't be caught off guard the next day. So Tyson decided to open it seeing that Kai was a bit hesistating.

"I'll open it!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Cheer up, Kai" Max said.

Ray's advice was, " Yeah, it's just girls."

"Just girls?" Kai asked uncertainly.

There! The first chapter re written! Hope you like it. Please review and let me know what you think.

The ten girls will be : Hilary, Mariah, Mariam, Emily, Mathilda, Ming Ming, Julia, and 3 OC's.

The Kai's girl would depend on the reader's voting! Although the final decision is mine, I'd mostly go by what the reader wants and the poll. I'll be creating the poll after the next chapter.

By the way, can anyone tell me the last names of the girls I mentioned in bold letters other than the OC's.

Chapter 2 : our favorite beybladers find out who the ten girls are.
