"KAI!" A female voice cried. Kai was on the edge of a cliff: he was waiting to jump.

"Why did you leave me? Why? WHY?" The voice cried louder. Kai just stood, unable to move or speak: he knew what he had done. He took that step forward and fell slowly into the dark ocean beneath him. As he hit the raging waves, he slowly began sinking. The water clogged up his ears and he couldn't breath. He no longer wanted to.

"Kai...come back to me..." The voice was quieter; full of pain and agony. Kai could no longer feel anything – he was dying. Then through the blur of the water. He saw her. The pale face that had a glow of its own, the shiny brown hair that glittered in the rays of sunshine through the water... and the deep blue eyes that were looking into his very soul.

"Ah!" Kai woke with a start: he was drenched in sweat; his heart was beating like a hammer on a bell in an alarm clock. The same dream that has me haunted now and then from the past 3 or 4 years... Kai shuddered. He couldn't understand what the dream was about. He remembered it for the first time though – the memory of that nightmare had rattled him so much that he could never forget it. Even if her tried

It had been her standing at the edge of the cliff, murmuring his name: asking again and again why he left her, tears dripping from her face as she didn't lift a hand to wipe them away. He had been a ghost. As she had fallen he went down with her, trying to reach out to her. She slowly began dying under the angry waves – he was trying to call her; hold her but he still couldn't reach her. Then the dream ended when four glowing hands reached down into the water and saved her from a dreary fate.

"What have I done?" He whispered to himself, feeing a cold flood rush over him. He then quickly searched round the room to see if any of his team, the Bladebreakers, was awake. Never would he ever let them see him in this state of weakness – at the mercy of one small dream that has and maybe will always come back to get him when he's all alone.

Shaking off the feeling, he decided to get up and get on with his day. What was done had been done: he couldn't go back now. And he wouldn't. He had a new life now. And it was for the best – both of us knew I couldn't stay... The bluenette thought – too full of pride to let anything make him doubt his decision – or so he thought.

But what is my life without her? Although he could do well without anyone in his life - being the independent soul that he was - he knew that most of his happiness came from just one person. Not because he depended on other people for it, but because their company and their understanding of him as a person is more than enough to keep his world spinning. The one person he left behind that very night when he had been forced to make a decision that he never thought he'd had to make.

The Russian had now been training outside the dojo for at least 2 hours, focusing on his Dranzer as he slowly managed to take his thoughts off that nightmare. He woke at exactly 6:23am – the same time he always woke at after that dream. It was 8:30 am. No signs of his teammates – or so he thought.

"Morning Kai!" A happy blond male came bobbing out of nowhere – it was Max. Whilst the amethyst eyed teen considered himself an early bird, he was definitely NOT a morning person. So naturally he could never understand why guys like the Turtle blader could have so much positive energy at this time in the morning. "So this is where you've been all this time. How long have you been up?"

"Hn." That was all the Phoenix blader replied, deciding not to look his teammate in the face – just in case his face told everyone pretty much what they needed to know about what had happened to him during the night. It was his favourite word because he often wasn't the most sociable of butterflies and he often just wanted to be left in peace with his beyblade or elsewhere.

"Ok – Ray's just making breakfast so come in whenever you want some – though you'd better be quick – we all know what Tyson and Daichi are like!" The aqua eyed male continued to speak cheerfully before bobbing off to go get one of Ray's delicious breakfast specials. True his word, the pair of hungry beasts in the team were already up and bounding towards the kitchen, yelling at each other in the process

That kid never seems to stay pessimistic for long... The young Hiwatari shook his head knowingly. Max paired with Tyson and Daichi made the bright sparks of the group. Ray was also quite optimistic dude himself: he just kept himself in balance and always knew there was a time and a place for perhaps 'less than mature' behaviour. Hilary and Kenny were the backbones of the group: they gave 24/7 support with everything from basic needs right down to the mechanisms of a beyblade.

Kai did appreciate them all – but seeing as he didn't show it often, he wasn't about to make a point of showing it in a dramatic way. He had his own ways of showing appreciation, and the Bladebreakers knew that already. "Morg - ning Kai!" Tyson yelled happily with his mouth full whilst tucking into his breakfast, greeting his teammate as though he had forgotten the episode yesterday - where a certain 'Mr. Sourpuss' (Tyson's favourite nickname for the eldest of the group) had confiscated his beyblade by way of forcing him to do some proper training. Which did not go down very well for the rest of the afternoon.

Great, I feel like it's going to be a good day already. Not...The bluenette rolled his eyes. He was used to the navy haired teen's immaturity – but that wasn't to say that it didn't still annoy him. In fact, he probably would goes far to say that the Dragon blader was about the most irritating little shit he had ever met. And that for him was putting it politely. "Hn." Kai replied as he pulled out a seat, just about acknowledging his team.

"And to you too Kai." Ray and the team chuckled as they watched his lips curve into a small smirk. Everyone started to tuck into their breakfast as it was another day when they had to get started with their training – though they had no news from the BBA that another tournament was coming up yet. Before long, Daichi snatched some of Tyson's food from his plate.

"DAICHI!" Tyson yelled at the smaller red headed boy, his brown eyes narrowing with annoyance as he watched the youngest of the group stick his tongue out at him. Allowing his hot headed nature to get the better of him, Tyson leapt and started to chase Daichi round the dojo for his precious food. The rest of the group gave a huge sigh as they continued to try and eat their breakfast in peace.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU MONKEY BOY!" Tyson screeched. 'Try' had been the operative word here – in other words, the team knew that they weren't going to get any peace now that the arguments had already started.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Daichi screamed – quiet enough for the whole neighbourhood to hear in comparison to amount of other times that the local public was subjected to the sheer volume of noise that one small boy could astoundingly make. Kai growled quietly as he closed his eyes – but then the thought of no mornings without his teammate's habits to keep him awake made him inwardly smile even so. He just couldn't imagine his life without a typical morning at the dojo.

"I wonder what Mr. D wants. He must pretty busy now, right?" Ray commented: just after breakfast, they all received a telephone call from the chairman of the BBA, requesting that they come and meet him with some 'urgent' news to discuss. By now whilst heading towards the office, everyone wanted to know what the elder man had in store for them this time. Mr. Dickenson wouldn't tell them on the phone.

"I'm sure Mr. D has something nice for us all to expect – after all, he did say that as a treat he would organise something." Kenny smiled. After defeating Boris, Mr. Dickenson was permanently indebted to them all and always made sure that they were protected and were able to get as much enjoyment from their sport as possible. The whole team nodded in agreement. Well, maybe not Kai. But they all knew that his silence meant that he agreed with them.

They finally stopped outside the BBA HQ and went inside. They made their way through he building to Mr. Dickenson's office. The Chinese male knocked politely on the door; then a jolly 'come in!' from the senior was heard. They all opened the door and stepped in where he was waiting for them all with a bright smile on his face.

"Hello Bladebreakers! How are you?" Mr. Dickenson was now looking quite frail these days, which started worrying the team a bit. He had always provided for them all as if they were his own grandchildren – but even at is great age, he still managed to be his friendly, kind old self. But that didn't change the fact that he was getting older and one day, he wouldn't able to do it anymore. The Bladebreakers tried not to par on that thought.

"We're good thanks, Mr. D." Tyson grinned as plonked himself on the sofa with his teammates; the bluenette chose to lean himself against the wall in his cold stance as he usually did.

"Now I know you have all been wondering why you're here: I've arranged for you to go and stay with an ex-professional blader who can give you some VERY good skills and training. She's very talented and although she doesn't blade in competition's anymore, he still maintains her high skill." The BBA chairman sat carefully behind his desk and watched the reactions of the team.

"Sure why not? Always room to do better." The American replied optimistically, looking forward to meeting this 'ex-professional' blader.

"Also it means we get to meet new people – so we make new friends!" The White Tiger blader smiled.

"Who is this 'ex-professional blader then? Do we know her?" Hilary asked, wanting to know who the new female was – it would be nice that she might be able to have some female company for a while. She liked the boys very much and really appreciated the way they treated her as part of the family, but when the likes of Mariah, Emily, Julia, Mariam, Salima and Mathilda were around, she couldn't resist having some 'girl time' with them.

"Oh well, I suppose I could tell you; in fact it probably wouldn't take you long to find out anyway as all of your other friends are going as well for the training. Her name is Cloud Wilson." Mr. Dickenson finished. The Russian's eyes snapped open sharply as he looked at the elder male for a moment in horror. No! It can't be – she can't have agreed to it – Mr. Dickenson knows our past! This isn't right!His heart starting thumping: Cloud Wilson was the last person on this Earth he would be able to get on well with – in fact he wouldn't be able to stay in her sight! Let alone talk to her or even train with her!

"THE Cloud Wilson?" Daichi stuttered. Although the team didn't know of the amethyst eyed teen's situation, they had their own reservations. Cloud Wilson was well renowned for being very tough and very brutal: nobody messed around with her – ever. She was cold, strong and at times when someone pushed her too far: vicious. Nobody could get the better of that girl and everyone knew better than to try challenging her without a great deal of skill. Suffice to say, the Bladebreakers and their friends were going to have their hands full.

"Well...it can't be too bad: I mean yeah she's tough, but she's also been known to be very fair and I'm sure she can be quite fun sometimes as well if you get on her good side. She doesn't seem unreasonable either...so let's give it a shot." Ray concluded, trying to be give a balanced view on the subject: none of them really knew who she was truly as a person and until they finally meet her, who were they to judge her? If only they knew... Everyone nodded in agreement – except the Phoenix blader.

"Kai? You in?" Kenny asked as they all turned to look at the 17 year old male; now the young Hiwatari would have to take a huge gamble, because potentially if Cloud lost her temper and really went for it - she could kill him. And the last thing he wanted was to cause more distress. But then he also couldn't risk his teammates finding out the truth between him and the Total Eclipse leader. He took a quiet deep breath and regained his stature to mask his inner worry.

"If I must." He mumbled. He wanted to put across that he would give it a try because she was quite good in general and she might be worth the time – even though in his heart he knew that she wasn't just any old girl with good skill – she was the ultimate. He had never met any other female in his life who pushed herself so hard to achieve what she wanted, and in that he saw something of himself.

"Excellent! I have arranged for the plane at 8:00pm on Friday, so make sure you get plenty of rest and make sure you pack EXACTLY to the list you will be given." Mr. Dickenson clapped his hands together as he informed them of that information. The team weren't sure what to say for a moment – didn't the senior think they had enough sense to pack their own bags without needing to be told what?

"We're getting a list?" Hilary looked confused.

"It's not that I don't think you can't pack for yourselves! It's just that Cloud is very good at being organised – one thing that she's not always tolerant of from other's who are not close friends and family is not being able to supply the right equipment for the job when travelling. So she'll be expecting you to think ahead and you to think of the responsibilities and possibilities before you go to stay with her," Mr. Dickenson explained.

When he had finished, the team looked quite...nervous, "And Kai: I'd like to have a few moments please?" The said male sighed and stood waiting as his team exited the room. Once they were gone, he went and sat before Mr. Dickenson's desk.

"Now Kai, I understand your relationship between you and Cloud – but I can't afford for your team to miss out on this opportunity – both of us know that Cloud is a force to be reckoned with and that the team will benefit greatly from her expertise." Mr. Dickenson said quietly, looking at the dual-haired male before him – who was now looking lost.

"But you know she won't have me in her sight – let alone standing next to her in a training regime – and if she doesn't kill me right there and then, God knows what she'll do to me through training." Kai replied bitterly, surprising the old man – Kai was never one to even flinch, but to be sat there worrying about one girl who he had associated with before was quite daunting.

"Now come on, my boy, she can't surely be that bad? After all, both of us know she is very honourable when it comes to the sport and never pushes anyone else beyond their limitations." The BBA chairman was now trying to make light of it. He always tried to see good in people: he knew that both Kai and Cloud were good people, in fact what they did a lot of the time did much more good than most. The bluenette raised his head and looked the elder man straight in the eye.

"Believe me: I was the one who worked beside her when she trained her band mates and anyone who came under her wing. And she rarely went easy on someone when it came to training – only if they worked as hard as she did or more. She expects courage, sensibility, practicality, logic, thought, organisation, discipline, hard work and effort – and she won't let up until she knows you've run out of sweat and you've given every single ounce of what you got – even if it means you have to train for hours on end. When she knows that you are ready to be independent without her help in the big wide world: then she might relax the reins." When the Russian had finished, he took in the shocked expression on the old man's face.

"I suppose that it's no surprise: she has high standards and that should never be taken for granted," Mr Dickenson sighed, "But all I can say is you can't run away from her forever. If your friendship before was strong, why should you not try again now? She can't stay angry with you forever." The Phoenix blader knew that Mr. Dickenson was right in a sense. Yes, he should face up to Cloud instead of trying to constantly avoid her – but then when the dark haired female wants to be stubborn – she's not very easy to budge.

"I think she can. She's not one to give up easily; I did leave her – now she's turned colder than ever was before. I...I can't say I liked my decision though - but we both knew the circumstances and I couldn't take anymore risks in damaging her just because I wanted to stay," Kai paused, thinking about her lost face in the depths of the waters he constantly braved in his dreams, "But I will go." Mr. Dickenson looked mildly surprised, but then he expected nothing more from Kai. It would take more than hell to freeze over than for Kai to admit he was going to back out of a challenge – he had too much pride for that.

"Very well. I'm sorry I've had to relay this upon you at short notice...but you never know...she might forgive you because you came back." Mr. Dickenson said softly. Kai shook his head with his eyes closed.

"I doubt it." Was all he replied before getting up and leaving the office to get back to the dojo with the rest of the Bladebreakers. The BBA Chairman gave a very small sigh of relief as he sat back in his chair wearily, rubbing his tired eyes.

I hope this works: I've been very worried about Cloud and Kai – the both of them need each other, it has been quite obvious for 4 years now – I just hope that if their old sparks of friendship are strong enough, they'll be reunited and happy again... HE thought sadly. He picked up the phone and dialled a number. A male voice answered the phone.

"Mr. Dickenson...what is the outcome?" The male spoke softly. Mr. Dickenson closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There was no going back now.

"It is done. They will be on the plane to L.A. on Friday at 8:00pm. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting Harold – it has been so long." Mr. Dickenson said, there was a pause before the other male let out a breath. They had done it. They had finally found a way to bring two of the most well renowned bladers back together, and finally resolve all of the troubles that had come between them.

"I hope this works...I can't stand to see her hurting any longer because it's my fault. It's been 4 long years...and no words can describe how sorry I am for the damage. Thank you."
