Disclaimer: Alright, now I know what you are thinking. How am I possibly
going to do a Kai fluff fiction, hmm? Well, sit back and relax cause I'm
going for it! Oh yeah. I don't own Beyblade. You'd think by now they'd
realize that I'm nobody and I don't own anything. Tisk, tisk, tisk.
Anyway, before I start, I just have to say that school is starting soon for me and trust me! My school defines the word 'BUSY' so don't be surprised if I don't update for a while on a chapter or something.
Here ya go!

" 'Most will hear,
Most will see.
Most will fear,
And most will be.
But most will love,
And most will deny,
That most can't see,
The love they hide.'
Well that was stupid."
The young boy closed the book releasing a cloud of dust into the air that surrounded his silver gray hair. The hairs on the back of his neck began to rise as he leaned back and sneezed. The librarian sitting not too far away from him perked her head up in curiosity and then put her index finger to her lips and whispered, "ssshh!!"
"Alright! Alright. I'm going," the boy responded in a defensive yet sarcastic tone. He slowly put the book back onto the shelf making sure it was perfectly aligned. He then turned and walked out of the library toward the crowded streets of Japan with his head to the ground and his hands curled in his pockets. 'God,' the boy thought, 'is there anything to do in this god-forsaken town? The library was my last resort but I guess I have no choice but to go back to Tyson's dojo.' He cocked his head up and smirked. 'I'd love to do that,' he thought being sarcastic. 'Training with Tyson. Nothing better. Nothing.'
* * *
"Hey Tyson?" Kenny pondered.
"Yeah? What is it Chief?" Tyson replied with food still in his mouth. There was a short pause for a moment and then-
"Where did Kai go? I thought he was staying with you."
"Beats me. He's the kind of guy that does what he wants when he wants. And nobody's that stupid to try and stop, *The great Kai*," Tyson said in a sarcastic tone. ((Alright! I like sarcasm! Sue me!))
"What about *The great Kai*?" said a familiar voice. Both the Teenagers jumped around only to see a boy with tussled silver-gray hair from the wind.
Tyson cleared his throat. "Oh! Kai! I didn't see you there! Umm."
Kai laughed and turned his back to the two teenagers still dumbstruck on the floor of the dojo. Kai began to walk toward his room when he was stopped.
"Hey Kai?" Tyson asked being careful not to get angry or insult Kai. "Look, we're gonna go down the street to Chiefs' house. But I already ordered a pizza. Could you stay and wait for the delivery guy and then bring it over to Chiefs' house?"
Kai thought for a moment. 'I'm not going to play messenger boy. But hey. I've got nothing better to do. What the hell.' "Sure. I'll do it."
"Really?!" Tyson shouted as if he was expecting a sincere *no*. "Great! Thanks!" He then turned his back to Kai and ran over to Kenny telling him the news. Kai then put his head down and began to walk outside to wait as he saw both Tyson and Kenny leave the dojo without so much as a second glance.
He opened the door to the Zen garden and began to feel a sea of goose bumps rising up his arms and the back of his neck. 'Damn, it's cold!' he thought.
Kai inched out of the house slowly being careful not to get hit directly in the face by the chill air. He slowly sat on the steps leaning his back against the beam so that no one would be able to see him. His left arm resting on his leg and his other leg dangling with the wind.
Shivering when he breathed in deep, fifteen cold minutes past until he finally heard the sound of footsteps approaching the locked entrance of the dojo. He sat quietly trying to hear who or what was at the entrance, but the howling wind made it impossible to hear anything. Still, he listened. He was able to hear a soft mumble over the wind, but the voice he heard wasn't that of a delivery *boy*, it was that of a delivery *girl*.
"Argh! Locked again," the girl whispered to herself. "Sometimes I think Tyson forgets when he orders food since he orders so fucking much of it."
Not only did Kai begin to laugh at how much she was right about Tyson, but he was a bit shocked to hear her swear. He had never heard a young girl swear before. He slowly began to rise out of his position to unlock the gate for the girl but he was cut short dead in his tracks by what happened next.
As he was getting up, he heard the girl whisper to herself, "Oh well. I guess I have no choice." He heard her feet leave the ground and next thing Kai knew, he was looking up at the top of the gate where the girl stood her white skirt and black turtle neck sweater flapping in the wind. 'What?!' Kai thought to himself. 'That gate must be ten feet tall! How could she jump that high?' Suddenly, the girl looked down at him a shocked look on her face.
She had long dark brown hair that went down to her waist but at the moment was up in a high pony tail. She had smooth lavender eyes that stared directly into Kai's.
"Shit," she whispered to herself. Kai was once again startled by the use of language. "So!" she began to speak again to Kai as she jumped down into the Zen garden. "What's your name?"
Kai whipped around giving her his trademark move- the cold shoulder. She smirked. "Tough guy huh?" she said. "Well, I don't really have time for the likes of you." She threw the pizza box on the ground. "Just tell Tyson he owes me $6.50." Then she turned her shoulder to Kai and began to walk toward the gate. She pulled off the wooden lock and opened the gate. Kai slowly began to turn around thinking she was gone but was sadly mistaken. She turned around once more staring at him as he stared at her in the freezing chill air. She then managed to form a smile on her face. When Kai saw the smile that emerged, everything around him suddenly disappeared. The cold he once felt was taken over by warmth. 'Wow,' he thought. 'She has a beautiful smile. Wait! What am I saying! She's just a delivery girl. That's all. Nothing more.' But his thoughts were cut short by her words as she closed the gate.
"Hey. One more thing," she shouted over the now earth shattering howl of the wind. "Tell Tyson to leave the gate unlocked next time." She then gave Kai a quick second glance before the gate was closed.
It took Kai a couple of minutes to realize what went through his head in the past three minutes. The first thing was how the hell did she make that jump? That's not humanly possible at least, he didn't think so. The second was the language she used. He had never heard a girl talk like that before. The girls he met either didn't say anything but were ditzy. Or tried to impress him but were still ditzy. 'Good girls' he thought. But this one seemed different. She wasn't ditzy. She wasn't ignoring him. And she wasn't trying to impress him in any way. She was just being herself. There was something about that that didn't seem to quite get through to Kai. He wanted to know more about her. He wanted to talk with her. But the third thing that went through his head was the most puzzling; the smile she gave him at the last second. Why was he feeling so weird about it? He had never felt like this with a girl before.
Gathering his thoughts together, he went over to pick up the pizza box on the ground. He then turned and walked over to the gate. He slowly closed it behind him and looked both ways seeing if the girl was still there. He looked both ways and saw no one. He then gathered himself together and began to walk to Kenny's house picking up speed in almost a running pace.
* * *
"Oh! Kai! You're here!" said Tyson turning around to greet his frost bitten friend. Kai threw the pizza box onto Kenny's bed and then turned around to head home. But stopped thinking about that girl. 'She said she knew Tyson,' he thought. 'Maybe Tyson knows about her.' He then turned around to face Tyson.
Tyson didn't realize he was being stared at until a few moments later. He turned to face Kai who was staring directly back at him. "Umm, yes Kai?"
"The delivery girl," he said being careful not to say it too loudly.
"Yeah, what about her?"
"Well, she told me to tell you that you owe her $6.50. And not to leave the gate locked when you order food."
"Aww, man! I totally forgot!" He paused. "It's kind of weird, actually. I always leave the gate locked but she always gets through anyway," Tyson looked up at Kai. "Did you open it for her?"
"Yeah," Kai lied. "But anyway, who is she?" Kai said his eyes becoming a little thinner.
"Oh! That's just Key," Tyson said understanding that what he had said didn't help Kai much. "I don't remember her real name. It was too hard to pronounce so everyone just calls her Key." Kai listened as hard as he could but this wasn't helping.
"Where does she live?" Kai asked with determination and hope that Tyson would give him a helpful answer this time.
"Over in the woods on the edge of town. She lives by herself." As Tyson said this, Kai began to feel is heart sink.
"No parents?"
"Nop. No one actually knows where they are. She just showed up in town one day when we were little and started her own restaurant at the age of four! She doesn't have any help or anything. She does everything herself. She cooks, she delivers, she cares for her home, and she does everything without help from anyone. Some say she even built her house by herself!"
Kai paused for a while. And then he spoke up, "Does she go to school?"
Tyson pondered this question for a while. "Not that I know of. She taught herself I think. But she's really smart! Probably smarter than Kenny!"
Kenny whipped around in his chair. "Hey!"
Kai then stopped to think while Kenny and Tyson were arguing. 'She does everything on her own. No help. From anyone. No one. Wouldn't she be lonely? It sounds like she doesn't have any friends. I've got to find her. I've got to talk to her. I've got to do something!' "Tyson!"
"Yeah, dude?" he said, startled by Kai's sudden need to shout.
"Where is her restaurant?"
"Oh. Umm, I think its a couple blocks that way," he said pointing north. Without questioning what the restaurant was called, Kai turned around and ran to Key's restaurant.
At first Kai had no idea what he was doing. 'It's not like I care or anything,' he thought. 'But if I don't care than why am I running to her restaurant? Stop feet! Stop!' But as much as Kai wanted his feet to stop and go back, they didn't. He kept on running. Not to the restaurant, but to Key.
