My Words, Your Words

Story written by: the sound of the bells

Chapter 1 – The Weird Feeling of Fate

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Tyson's mouth opened widely as he laughed. He was standing in front of a blue mansion, which had three floors. He was carrying his bag over his shoulder and the other hand was carrying a big suitcase. "Finally! I'm moving in this mansion!" Tyson was eighteen now, so he moved out of the dojo and moved to America. Of course, after his four years of college he will return back in Japan where his grandfather lives and inherit the dojo. That's what he had planned anyway.

"Yo Tyson!" Someone called happily.

The happy-go-lucky blue haired boy looked at the blond boy who was waving at him. "Hey Max!" Tyson waved back, hurrying up to his American friend. "You're here already?" Tyson asked, standing in front of Max after running.

Max nodded as they did a high-five. "Yeah. I do live close here after all," he chuckled, taking Tyson's suitcase. Max looked behind Tyson and then around the area. There was a fairly large lake beside the blue mansion and around it were rounded rocks. On the other side of the mansion was a large garden. There were also trees circling around the whole entire place too and a few cherry trees that were blooming. Max looked back at Tyson. "Where's Kenny? Did he really decide not to come?" he inquired.

Tyson sighed sadly. "Yeah. He said that his parents wouldn't allow him to come along and stay in Kai's mansion." Tyson then quickly smiled. "But he'll come here in the next two years! I can't wait until he comes!" He danced around, cheerfully.

"Hey, that's great!" Max smiled widely. "But then that means you guys only have two years together here since you're heading back to Japan when you finish attending college."

Tyson smirked, nodding. "True… but I can still stick around for two more years until Kenny graduates." He just thought that up about right now, but hey it works for Tyson's plans.

Max laughed, "I guess you're right." He turned around, walking towards the mansion. "Come on, let's go see Kai so you can get your room and move your stuff in."

"I don't think we need him to decide what room I should get," Tyson thought out loud. "But I wouldn't really care anyway because I'm living in this mansion! Yes!" The blue haired boy followed his blond friend. "Say, is Ray here yet?" Tyson asked when they opened the doors. He hadn't heard Ray's voice when he came. No warm welcome from Ray? Why?!

"Nope, he's not here yet," Max said, turning around to face Tyson. "Ray was supposed to make here before you, but I guess his airplane got delayed. Who knows when he will come?" He shrugged and continued to walk.

Tyson sighed again, "Too bad." He looked around the place, while they were walking up the stairs. The living room was to their right and the dinning room to their left. Tyson couldn't wait until he explores the whole mansion! He stopped walked up the stairs and saw Kai, who had his arms crossed, standing at the top of the stairs. "Hello, Kai!" Tyson waved at him.

"So, Tyson's here, huh?" Kai raised one of his eyebrows. "That was fast." To tell you the truth, Kai never really wanted Tyson and the others living here for the four years. Max, Tyson, and Ray are even going to the same college as he is! Kai could have chosen to go to another college that accepted him, but he liked where he was going. So Kai can't really complain about it. They're eighteen now, so his friends shouldn't be acting childish anymore. But he gets the feeling that it will be irritating living with the three of them.

"That's not a way to say 'hi' back," Tyson pouted at him. "And what kind of welcome is that?" Max and Tyson got to the top of the stairs as Kai walked away, showing Tyson his room. He's still cold as ever. Tyson thought, rolling his eyes.

"Just be glad that I'm allowing you to stay here," Kai told him. "But if you're staying here, you're paying too."

Max and Tyson followed him. "I know that!" Tyson slapped his forehead. "We already talked about that last month!" Tyson knows better than that, since he's living here now. He had become more mature over the years now, but Kai still treats him like Tyson doesn't know anything!

"You better find a job then," Max advised Tyson, chuckling. Kai and Tyson are funny when they talk to each other like that. It just amuses him. To Max, it shows how much they all care for each other, no matter what they said to each other.

"Yeah, yeah," Tyson nodded back and forth. He stopped walking and looking around. "Hey, Kai," the blue haired boy walked up to him. "Don't you have butlers or maids here?" Tyson asked. It's just that he didn't see any of them when he first entered the mansion.

Kai stopped walking and looked at him. "No," he said.

Tyson opened his mouth in shock. "What?! Why not?" he asked.

"I have a butler and a maid," Kai replied, walking down the hall.

"Huh?" Tyson blinked, confused.

Max smiled. "Kai doesn't have butlers or maids. Just one butler and one maid," he explained.

"What?" Tyson was even more confused. That doesn't make any sense. This was a huge mansion and there is only two people working here? What up with that? Tyson stared suspiciously at Kai when he stopped walking again, facing the two of them. Nothing was suspicious, but Tyson feel like making funny faces to annoy Kai.

Kai looked back at his two friends. "I have been really busy so I didn't have the time to hire people to work here," he first explained. "You can't expect me to waste my time finding people like that."

"You're not going to waste your time at all!" Tyson waved his arms in the arm, thinking Kai is getting useless. He couldn't even find enough people for his own mansion that he got last year, which Kai brought for himself at that time. Maybe Kai only hire two people because he thought he would be living by himself, alone in this huge mansion. "Looking for more people is MORE important! You're rich now, aren't you?!" Tyson shouted.

Max laughed nervously. "Actually, Tyson, I tried to look for more people myself, but no one wants to work here, or at least I think so. I even sent flyers around the whole city!" It seems kind of strange because it's a big city and there's no one who wants to work in the mansion. Maybe all of the people like their own jobs already and doesn't want to be a butler or a maid.

Kai sighed and opened one of the doors in the hall. "Anyway, this is your bedroom, Tyson." Kai said, walking away back where they came from.

"Where are you going, Kai?" Max asked as Tyson walked into the room.

"I have other things to be done," Kai said without turning back.

Max was going to ask one more thing, but hesitated. Kai might snap since he's still not opening himself as much to them yet. And Kai still gives the cold shoulder too. Max turned to see what Tyson was doing. The blue haired boy was jumping around the room, looking dreamily. Max sweat dropped, "Eh… I'll see you later then, Tyson." He set Tyson's suitcase by the door. "I happen to have things to do too."

Tyson turned his attention to his blond friend. "Okay. I will just quickly unpack everything and take a tour around this place."

"Sounds like a good idea," Max gave him a thumps-up. "Later!" He smiled, hurrying towards the stairs.

Tyson walked out of them room. "Later, Max!" he shouted happily. Tyson went back into his room, his hands on his sides. He smiled, feeling really excited. "I get the feeling that this will be a nice, long, fun six years here."

In the afternoon, people were walking around the city along the sidewalk and cars drove in the streets. There was a girl with teal hair that reached to her waist, she standing in the lobby of a building that helps you find jobs. She brushed her bangs away from her pale green eyes, staring at the flyers on the boards. She was looking for an easy job to help her earn some money. She looked at a certain flyer over and over, not knowing how long she stood there. One of the flyer caught her eyes, but she refuse to do it. She looked at it again and it read:

Do you love house cleaning? Well, we have a job for you!

We are currently seeking motivated, friendly, and a great person at the Hiwatari Mansion. We are now hiring anyone who enjoys cleaning! We want people who are at the age of eighteen or higher. Compensation: $12.00 Per Hour

And send a resume too, but don't worry. We just want to see what others things that you have done. We are looking forward hearing from you!

"Should I do it?" the teal hair girl asked herself, tapping on her chin. House cleaning? More like MANSION cleaning. It's not a problem for her to clean since it's her specialty and she will be paid twelve bucks per hour too. She just turned eighteen, so it sounds perfect for her. "Hiwatari must be very rich to be willing to pay that much," the girl lightly glared. Kai was the problem. She didn't want to work under someone like him.

She sighed and walked away from the boards and headed for the door. The girl was wearing faded blue jeans and on the left knee there was a hole that showed her kneecap. She was wearing black fishnet fingerless gloves and black shoes that seemed kind of old. The girl wears a gray sweater that showed her shoulders and a white tank top under it.

Kai walked in the building with sunglasses on and his scarf covered half of his face. He walked across the lobby with his hands were in his jacket's pocket and he had the hood on.

The teal hair girl walked across the lobby also and walked pass Kai. As they walked pass each other, it was like in slow motion. Kai glanced at the girl who also glanced back at him with her pale green eyes. She looked at his violet eyes pass the sunglasses. There was a sudden weird feeling between them, but it wasn't any other kind of feeling that they ever felt before. Kai looked away and kept on walking. The girl didn't turn back at him and walked out of the building.

That was odd. The teal hair girl and Kai both thought at the same time.

Note from "the sounds of the bells":

The email that was suppose to be sent to Max was just made up. I think you all should know that it's just made up for this story. I don't know why, but I just wanted that to be clear. I put beybladermax at forever . com because it makes this blue link and I don't want it there. I hope you understand that.

Another thing before you stop reading is that I have never watch Beyblade seasons two and three before so the characters from those two seasons won't appear in this story. I apologize. But if you wish to add someone from either of those seasons, just let me know. I will have to research them so I will know their personalities.

Thank you for reading my first Beyblade story.
