New Challenges For The Bladebreakers

Chapter 1: A Chance Meeting

It hasn't been too long since the Bladebreakers went their own ways; many of them were spending their time practicing their bit-beasts. Kai, on the other hand, was still stuck travelling home and when the bus stopped yet again, a young girl, about Kai's age, got on.

"Who's that?" Kai thought to himself as she looked for a seat, amazingly enough, the only seat left was next to him, but many avoided it, many of them knew Kai's reputation.

"No seats." the girl said to herself.

"You can sit here." Kai said and many people stared as the girl sat, many of them wondered "Does she know who he is?"

"Thank you." she said.

People stopped staring and Kai looked out the window, a storm was slowly coming.

"Hi." said the girl nervously.

Kai didn't answer at first.

"You okay?" she asked politely.

"Don't talk to me." he said.

"Sorry." she said.

"No, I am, that wasn't nice." he added.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"You don't know who I am?" he asked in surprise.

"Would I ask if I did?"

"Hey, stupid, he's only Kai, one of the champion beybladers." another passenger shouted.

"Oh, of course, sorry."

"Don't call her stupid!" Kai said and the passenger fell back scared, Kai has that effect sometimes.

"Thank you for defending me." she said. "My name is Kiri."

"Do you do any beyblading?" he asked.

"Yes, but don't expect me to be any challenge, I haven't even got a bit-beast and I'm not very good."

"I guess I can show you some moves."

"Really, thank you." she said smiling.

The bus eventually arrived at the bus stop near Kai's home.

"This is it Kiri." he said and she followed him off the bus.

"How can she be so chummy with Kai, he's unapproachable." said the passenger to himself.

The bus took off and Kai walked to where he lived with Kiri behind him.

"Here we are, ladies first."

This surprised Kiri but she entered with Kai behind her.

"Nice place, Kai. Of course, being rich helps provide for this, I guess." she said, looking round Kai's house.

"It's not exactly my place, but it's a good enough place to stay when I need a break from tournaments." he said.

"Oh, but you do have money right? I'm not interested if you do." she added quickly as Kai's smile vanished.

"No, I don't, not much anyway. I used to live in a mansion with my grandfather, but after I went against him because of his plans, he is making sure I don't set foot in the place again. Anyway, when do you want to start your beyblading lessons?"

"Tomorrow, if it suits you." she said.
