Chapter 1: Welcoming of New and Old Teams

Slowly you walked up to the front desk. The sigh in the back read Paradise Hotel . The black paint was chipping and turning grey. Telling you this must be one of the cheapest hotels in all of Japan. Your black duffel bag started to numb your arm so you threw it carelessly over your left shoulder. A swishing sound was heard as your guitar bag hit your pants leg. A soft thud was heard as your rubber soled Vans met with the black and white checked venal floor as you made your way to the desk. Your black baggy pants with three chains hanging from your waist were earning you many weird looks. Along with your black almost corset like top. Not that you truly cared what those freaks thought. As you reached the desk the woman eminently looked up at you. Her blue eyes showing shock and disgust to see you. Nothing new, you had been getting this all day. And you were now sick of it. Its like people haven't seen chains on pants before. [Room for the beyblade team Lunar Ray please] you said unemotionally. The lady just stared at you far a while before she looked down at her guest book. Almost as to erase your name. [I'm sorry, we seem to have filled your room] she said coldly as she pretended to flip through some of the papers lying on the desk in front of her. Looking around the lobby you saw only three other people standing there. And two of them were from your team. [Lady, listen I know you didn't give the room away. And if you did it doesn't look as if you're getting much business, so don't make me pissed and just give me the god damn room key already] you growled glaring at her. Fear grew in her eyes as she quickly reached into a drawer and pulled out a copper coloured key that was probably once silver. [Room 3-325] she stammered as you grabbed the key and walked away without another word.[You know you didn't have to be, that mean] called a voice from behind you. [Shut it, Adam] you growled to your brother who was now walking toward the stairs with you. [I know its been a long plane ride and its probably around midnight, but could you please keep your bitchy-ness in check] he growled as you two started to climb the steps. You shot him a death glare only to receive the same thing. [You could always sleep in the river if its too much for you] you growled back coldly breaking eye contact. [Wow kids will you ever stop fighting? We have to meet with the other teams tomorrow, and we don't want to be fighting around them] said Mike. One of your best friends and the newest member on your team. [Whatever] you grumbled as Adam just said nothing.

Finally you reached the third floor which was the floor your room was located on. Adam and Mike had been talking about on the way up, while you stayed silent. Joining in their conversation would be pointless due to the fact that you just didn't give a shit about their blades new paint job. As you zoned out on them your mind then started to wonder. After three months you were finally back Here. Back in Japan. Three months earlier you had been sharing a house up in the mountains with five other beyblade teams. A lot of crazy shit had happened while you were staying there. Boris had started a new beybladeing facility, which he called BEGA and shut down the BBA. After finding this out, Tala the leader of the Blitzkrieg Boys challenged Boris to a battle. Boris agreed and Tala and his best blader Garland fought. Tala ended up losing badly and with his injuries was put in the hospital. Boris then challenged Tyson, the current world champion and your youngest brother, to a beybladeing match. Which was called the Justice five. Ray from the White Tigers, Max from the PPB All-stars, Daichi from the BBA, and Kai from the Blitzkrieg Boys made up Tyson's team. In the end Tyson's team, which was now being called the BBA Revolution, had won with a little outside help from a beybattle you had won. Boris was soon there after sent to jail. Then after that Diablo had captured Jess and Devin on your birthday. Making you and Adam come and rescue them along with a couple others who were captured as well.[Meg are you coming in?] growled Adam as you just stood out side the room door in a little haze. His words snapped you back to the present. You just started at him for a minute before you entered the room. It was only one room. One very small room. A single bed was placed in the centre of the back wall. Brown and black stains covered the sheets which made a fight to not have the bed. A small couch and TV were only a couple of feet away. The room smelled of old feet and dirty laundry. What a great combination. One that made anyone who came near want to puke or jump out the third floor window. The walls were a dull yellow, but one day they were most likely white. That was a long, LONG, time ago. [What a great room] you said dully as you threw your bag down and placed your guitar on the floor. [Guess the BBA cant do much better since they have to pay for all the teams rooms. And they added three more teams to the world championships this year.] Mike said as he placed his red duffle bag and bass on the couch. Looking at Mike you couldn't believe how much he had changed over the threes months that you had last been in this town. His now black with red tipped Mohawk wasn't spiked today and laid to his right side. Which Adam said looked retarded, but you and Mike agreed that it looks just fine. His black baggy pants made a swishing sound as he walked over to the balcony. His blue eyes sparkling as they scanned over the lights of the city.[Hey when is Devin coming? He's late.] Mike said as he scanned the city live below him. [He's at the hospital checking on Jess] Adam stated as he yawned and looked around the room in disgust. Like if he wished enough the room would magically turn into something else. [Oh] Mike said scratching the back of his head. [Does he still care for Jess] Mike asked after a long silence passed over the room. [No. He thinks of her as a sister, but nothing more. He just blames himself for her being hurt last year.] Adam answered still looking around the room, but he was now glaring at the walls instead. [It was only three months ago genius] you growled as you plopped on the floor with your back against the wall. [Well soorryyy] Adam grumbled as he gave you a disgusted look for just leaning on the yellow, spotted, maybe even mould covered wall. [Don't look at me like that, you're sleeping on the bed] you said as you looked your brother in the eye. Adams eyes grew wide as he looked at you in horror. [WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE! YOURE THE GIRL YOU DESERVE THE BED!] he shouted at you. [No that's ok, Ill sleep on the floor] you said smirked at his pissed expression. Especially since there was only enough floor space for one person to sleep on it. With a grumble Adam then threw his gray bag on the bed along with his bass. Looking at him you realized just how much he had changed over the three months as well. He had let his short spiky hair grow out and he now had a mo-hawk on his head. The same natural red tips that you have making a line down the centre of his head. His black baggy pants had a red out line on the pockets they went halfway down his leg and at the seems. They matched his red shirt that said Don't make me sick my sister on you. Which scared away anyone that actually knew you. [We should probably get some sleep. Tomorrows going to be one long ass day] said Mike as he yawned and flopped on the couch. Your brother soon followed flopping on the bed. But the bed instantly collapsed under him. This made you smirk as you walked out onto the balcony. Adams curse words reached your ears as you slowly closed the sliding glass door behind you. A small smirk appeared on your lips as the night breeze blew through your hair. Twisting and turning your red tips around your face. Taking a deep breath you looked down at the city lights. A few cars were on the roads diving down the empty almost ghost town like roads. A couple was walking down the side was hand in hand. {Wonder where all the other teams are right now} you thought staring at the cars passing and the people walking on the streets hand in hand. You then turned your attention up to the stars. One team specifically stuck in your mind. The glistening lights met your eyes as they had for the past three months. For no matter where you are, what country your in, how old you are, you can always see the stars where you are. {Wonder how everyone's changed} you thought as you slowly brought your eyes back to the city one last time. You then walked back into the room to try and get some sleep between the snores of Mike and cruses of your brother.*Next Day*[God damn it Meg, get the hell up!] screamed Adam as he stumbled into the small attached bathroom. So small it didn't even have a shower. But the brochure did say that they had a shower at the end of every hall. A pale yellow light flooded down on Adams head as he flicked on the switch. He slumped over to the sink and got himself some water in a paper cup that was sitting on the side of the sink. Which he quickly spit out after taking one sip and finding that it tasted quite literally like shit. He then called again, [Were going to be late if you don't get your lazy ass in gear!]. But he didn't hear you respond. [Meg!] Adam growled as he pulled off his shirt and started to look for a new one. [Dude, she's not here] Mike said with a yawn as he fished in his bag for something to wear. A small mountain of cloths was now next to his red bag as he fished for a clean shirt. [WHAT! WHERE IS SHE!] Adam shouted as he flew into the room with only his pants on and a tooth brush hanging from his mouth. [She said she was going out for coffee and would be back sooner or later] Mike answered as he sniffed a blue shirt he pulled out of his bag. But quickly threw it back towards the pile once the strong disgusting odour hit him. [If she makes us late I swear...] grumbled Adam as he walked back into the bathroom to finish getting ready.*With You*Walking down the main street the suns golden rays were shining down on your. You were headed back towards the hotel after stopping on the corner coffee shop called The Blue Dragon . You had a hazelnut cappuccino in your right hand and the latest Hammer magazine in your other. Your mid-back length hair was blowing in the wind as you read an article on Disturbed front man David Draiman. [I got a can fill of gasoline and set the principals car on fire and it blew up] said Draiman in the article. Reading this a small smirk came to your face. Once you finished the article you found that you were right in front of your hotel. {Joy. Now its time to get lectured by Adam for leaving this morning and not telling him} you thought as you threw your now empty coffee cup in the trash. You then headed up to the third floor to see how your brother and team-mate were doing. As you reached your hand out to open the door it flew open. [WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING LEAVING TO GET COFFEE RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING! AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING THAT FOR!] Adam shouted at you, earning you both many glares from passer bys in the hall. Looking down you saw that in the early hour that you had decided to go out, you had thrown on a pair of baggy black pants that have zippers all over. Then your shirt was a black one that says, This Is My Fuck You Anti-Social Hate The World Scary Black T-Shirt in black. [And what's wrong with this?] you questioned coldly as you glared at your brother. [Nothing now lets go] he said pushing you out of the door with Mike following him. This cause you to give him another death glare, which he acknowledged by a smirk. All three of you headed down towards the stairs. [Is Devin coming?] Mike asked as you walked out the front door and turned to the left. The bright sun light blinded you for a seconded before they got use to the change in light quality. [I don't know he's still at the hospital with Jess] Adam said lowly, almost sadly as you all weaved in and out of the many people on the street. [ADAM! MEG! MIKE! WAIT UP DAMN IT!] a voice called above the noise of the crowd. This made the three of you stop and look around. Then running up to you was a boy and girl. [Devin?] Mike asked as he stared at the boy running up. Devin hadn't changed at all in the three months that you had been back in the USA. His light brown hair was still ear length. Today he was wearing black baggy pants with a plain black shirt. [Jess...?] you asked looking at the girl. [Ya] she said with a slight smirk. Jess had changed a lot in her four month stay at the hospital. Her blond hair now had black streaks in it instead of the blue that had been there before, and it was now up in pig tails on top of her head. And it still reach down to her lower back. She was also wearing black baggy pants. But hers had chains connecting each pant leg. Her top had no straps and was a ying-yang design. [Great to see you again Jess!] Mike said as he scoped her up in a giant bear hug. [Mike let go!] she growled as she glared daggers at him. {Same old Jess} you thought as you continued to walk down the street. Everyone soon followed your lead. For a while it was a silent walk, no one talked. Then finally Mike said something that must have been on his mind for a while. [Jess are you taking back your spot on the team?] he asked lowly. Jess turned to him with surprise in her eyes, but her face remained emotionless. [No, I'm now your back up] she says finally after a long pause. Then just in time to break the tension Adam calls [Were here!]. Everyone turned to their left to look at the tall BBA building. [What floor are we going too?] you asked as you started to climb the steps. [Twenty-fifth] Devin stated as you all passed through the marbled floored lobby to the elevator. A man in a black suite was standing outside the elevator to your left. And even though the up button was already pressed, Mike walked over and pressed it again. Click. But of course it didn't do anything. Click... Click... Click... Click... [Mike its not going to come any faster if you keep pressing the god damn button!] shouted Devin after Mikes fifth pressing of the button. Mike just stared at him and clicked the button one last time. Devin just glared at him while the rest of you walked on the now there elevator. [Are you two dumb asses coming?] you asked as you rested your back on the elevators wall. Mike and Devin quickly broke their stare and rushed onto the elevator. Adam quickly pressed the 25 button on the elevator wall so Mike couldn't get to it first. And soon the elevator was rush up to the meeting room. The doors slowly slid open as soon as the elevator coasted to a stop on the 25th floor . [Now does anyone remember what number Mr. Ds room is?] Mike asked after everyone had stepped out of the elevator and started to scan the hallways that lay in front of you. [It might just be the one that says Mr. Dickinson on it] you say coldly. You could see Jess smirk since she knew exactly what you were talking about. Mike just turns towards you and glares. [Well if you see one that says Mr. Dick on it tell me!] he shouts while looking ready to punch you. Just then a cough is heard coming from behind Mikes back. This just made you smirk along with Devin and Adam. Mikes eyes grew wide as he turned around. And there standing right behind him was none other then Mr. D. [The doors right there] you stated as you walked towards the doorway that Mr. D was standing right next to. [Bitch] Mike mumbled as the rest followed you into the meeting around you see that five teams are already there sitting around a table. The table had to be one of the worse you had ever seen. It was a dark stained table with tall black leather chairs surrounding it. Sitting at the end of the table closest to the door was Tyson and the rest of the BBA Revolution . Tyson and Daichi were fighting over something as usual while Hilary and Hiro pretended not to be part of their team. Next to them on the right side was the PPB All-stars. Michael, Emily, Eddy, and Max all smiled at you guys as you walked in. Everyone on your team just nodded their head in response. Then across the table from them were the White Tigers. Mariah was now talking to Hilary, as Ray and Lee talk to each other, and Kevin and Gary were talking as well. Next to them were the Majestics. Robert, Enrique, and Oliver all waved to your team as you entered. Again everyone nodded. Johnny then greeted your team with a hello. He still only received a head nod. On the other side of the Majestics was the Blitzkrieg boys. And they didn't look none to happy to be there. Bryan and Spencer nodded their head at you which you returned. Bryan and Spencer were some of your best friends. They had been for a while. Tala smirked at you which you gladly returned. You had really missed him. Three months was way to long to go with out seeing him. But you would never let anyone know that. Not even him. So you and your team took the seats across from Blitzkrieg boys. That left a spot for two more teams. And you knew exactly who they were.[Now everyone since most of the teams are here we will begin] Mr. D said as he walked into the room closing the large wooden door behind him. Everyone stopped their conversations to listen to the BBA leader. [Now I would like each team to tell me their lead blader.] Mr. D continued. The teams again started to converse. But you and the Blitzkrieg boys had no need to talk amongst yourselves. You already knew what team mate on your team was stronger. [Ok lets start out with the BBA Revolution] Mr. D said once again stopping the conversations. [Me!] Tyson said as he held up his hand in a number one sign. [Ya Tyson you're the number one loser alright] you said coldly as you rested your head on the high back of the chair and closed your eyes. [WHAT DID YOU SAY MEG! I OUGHT TO...!] Tyson started but was cut off with the door opening. Opening one of your eye you took a look towards the door. You saw three boys and one girl. The first guy on the right looked to be the leader by the way he was standing there. He had red eyes with a hint of grey in them. They were cold looking, holding no emotion at all. His hair was a fascinating mix of gray and dark blue which was spiked on top of his head. He was wearing baggiest jeans that were faded. A chain hung out of his right back pocket and most likely attached to a wallet. He was wearing a black Metallica shirt. Standing next to him was the girl. By her body chemistry they seemed to be a couple. She has blood red hair that is dyed black at the tips. Her eyes are sapphire blue which seem to hold only anger. Something must have hurt her badly in her past. She too was wearing jeans, but they were gray. An extra long chain hung from her waste to the top of her front pocket. Her top was a crimson red almost matching her hair. It had I'm sorry, I forgot you were an idiot written on the front in black bleeding letters. Standing next to her was another guy. He had slate blue eyes which seemed to be caring and loyal. His hair was shaggy and brown that went to just below his ears. He too was wearing jeans but his had holes in the knees. His shirt was gray and said Does it look like I give?. Then the last person had gray eyes with blue around the rims. They had a cold distant look in them. His hair was a dark brown with a small amount of red at the tips and was ear length. He was the only one that didn't have jeans on. He had on black baggy pants. He's shirt was grey that said Don't want to be , Mike, Jess, Devin, and Adam nodded towards them which they did in return. [Hey guys. How have you been?] asked Mike. The leader looking guy said, [Comme ci, comme ca]. [Wow someone remember French?] you teased as they started to head over towards you. [No... I just liked that word] he said with a smirk, which you soon returned thinking that he was a total dumb ass. [Umm... Who the heck are you?] asked Tyson who was now staring at them with one eyebrow raised. As well as almost everyone else in the room. [This is, Luke with the Metallica shirt, Rika with the red shirt, Sully with the grey shirt, and Chris with the black pants] Mike said quickly pointing to them as they took a seat at the end of the table in between the Blitzkrieg boys and you. Chris sat next to you. And you gave him and extra head nod which he returned. That earned him a glare from Tala.[Ok, now White Tigers, who is your strongest blader] Mr. D asked once again quieting the room. [Its Ray] said Mariah as she beamed at him. Then just as Ray was about to say something, the door opened once again. And there standing was the last team. There was one girl and three boys. This time the guy on the left looked to be the leader. His hair was black and spiked with blue tips. A happiness filled his bright blue eyes. Something that differed from the rest of his team. Along with the huge smile crossing his lips. He was wearing tan baggy pants that had the knees ripped out. The chain on his wallet was black and the links were bigger then normal. A dog tag hung around his neck saying Be Afraid. His top was a black hoody with Korn printed in the middle with white letters. And as always the R in Korn was backwards. Standing next to him was another guy. This guy had long red tipped blond hair that could be put up in a Mohawk if he wanted to. But it looked as if he never spiked it. A whatever look filled his shinning hazel eyes. He too was wearing tan baggy pants but his had black snaps with red centres going down his legs. His shirt was a white one with Papahobia: Fear of the... POPE! written in black. Next to him stood the only girl on the team. She was wearing black baggy pants with a blue cross on her right leg near her shoe. A chain hung from her waist connecting a wallet and her belt. Her top was a black tank top that stopped right before her belly button and black fishnet finished the rest of the top along with the sleeves. Her hair was raven black until it got to the tips where it was blue. Then next to her was the last guy on the team. He had shaggy-ish dark brown hair. His eyes were blue and looked to be bored at the moment. His pants were semi baggy black ones with pockets around his knees and on right above that on his left side. On his shirt was a white tiger who claws looked as if they were ripping threw his flesh. [Another new team?] Max asked down on the other side of the team. The new team started to walk over towards the open seat in between your team and the Majestics. [Who are you?] asked Daichi pointing his finger at the team as they took their seats. [I'm Eric] started the team leader, [That's Mark] he said pointing to the guy in the pope shirt, [That's Sarah] he said pointing to the girl, [And lastly that's Seth] he finished pointing to the guy in black pants. [Do you know any other teams here?] asked Hilary as she drooled over Eric who just looked disgusted. Tyson then hit Hilary to stop her from drooling which seemed to be pissing him off. Wonder why. [Yes, Lunar Ray ] he said as he nodded towards your team, [And Zatknjisj] he said nodding towards the other new team. Just then Tyson was looking around the table with a thinking look in his eye. Something very foreign to his eyes. He then looked over towards you and Adam. [What's with all the Goths these days!] he randomly screamed. Silence swept through the room once again. But that didn't stop Tyson from going on. [I mean you and the two new teams are all gothic. What's with that?] he called pointing to your team and the other two. Everyone just stayed quiet as he waited for an answer. You and Adam grabbed a glass of water on the table. Adam just tossed the water, but not you. You threw the whole cup. It shattered on the wall behind him as he ducked. Eric, Marc, Sarah, Seth, Luke, Rika, Sully, Chris, Jess, Devin, and Mike are all glaring at him. Tyson shrinks under the cold stare of the three teams. [First, you're an ass] growled Rika as she looked about ready to pummel Tyson. Well she wasn't the only one. Most of the people on those teams looked ready to give him the beating of a life time. [Second, why the hell do you care?] seethed Chris as he jumped out of his seat. Seeing this you quickly grabbed on to his arm to stop him from attacking your brother. [Meg get off] he growled at you as his eyes still glared at Tyson. Everyone in the room was now staring in your direction. They seemed surprised by your sudden saving of your brother. [No] you said bored, as you held on to him stronger. [Ok have it your way then] Chris stated as he quickly swung his other arm towards you. Seeing this the Blitzkrieg Boys jumped out of their seats ready to save you and attack him. But Chris, instead of hitting you, just placed his arm under your knees. Twisting his other arm around he placed it behind your back and pulled you out of your chair. He smirked down at you as he started to walk towards the other side of the room. You just glared at him along with the Blitzkrieg Boys and Eric's team. Tyson and everyone else just looked fearful of what he just might do. He continued to walk as he passed Tyson. This made you look at him with a questioning look in your eyes. But then you saw just what he was heading for. [Don't you dare] you growled venom dripping from your words as you can nearer and nearer to Chris's destination. [Wouldn't dream of it] he said a huge smirk dancing on his lips. He now stopped walking right in from of the window by the door. The open window by the door. You just glared at him as he looked out the window. Probably judging the distance from the ground. [Have a nice flight] he whispered in your ear as he suddenly shifted your weight and threw you out the open window. [MEG!] you could hear many different voice scream as the wind rushed past you. Annoyed you looked around for something to stop your fall. {That jackass} you thought as you spotted a tree coming nearer. Reaching out your right had you grasped a strong top branch. Hoping it wouldn't crack from the force of you grasped your left hand around the branch as well. You then used the speed from falling the swing your body around the branch so your feet were pointing towards the sky. Quickly you placed your feet on the branch to stop you from going back around. Finally you took a seat on the branch and observed how far from the ground you were. After figuring it was about ten or fifteen feet away you turned your attention back up to the building. Out of the corner of your eye you saw a figure falling from the top of the window. Turning to get a better look, you saw that another person had jumped out of the building and was headed for the tree you were in. {Ass} you muttered to yourself while shacking your head as you watched them grab the branch above you. They too swung around the branch, but then sat down on your branch. [Hey cuz. Did you miss me?] Chris grinned at you. You looked at him for a brief second before jumping off the branch to the ground. [Meg! Are you ok?] came a call from the 25th floor. Looking up you could almost make out the figure that was calling to you. It was either Eric or Devin. At least that's what you thought. Without and answer you started to walk down the street refusing to go back into the room with all those freaks.[Slow down!] you heard someone call from behind you as you continued to walk down the street. [What?] you asked Chris as he finally caught up to you [Lets get a coffee and get catch up] he suggested with a sudden hopefulness in his eyes. It would be hard for anyone to say no to that look. [Whatever] you grumbled pissed that you couldn't resist your cousins look. Hearing that Chris happily grabbed your arm and dragged you down the street. {What did I get myself into!} you screamed as Chris drug you through a huge crow standing at a light. He then ran across the street without even looking. [Do you want to be killed!] you shout at him as you crossed the street only with possibly getting run over about five times. [Not really] he answered in a causal tone. With a sigh you dropped the conversation knowing it wasn't going to get you anywhere. Finally after about fifteen minutes of dragging you and Chris arrived at a café called Whisper . Chris grabbed the handle of the right door and held it open for you. A soft metallic sound came from the chimes on the door. Inside was a long narrow hallway leading to a set of stairs. Climbing the stairs you found yourself in a very traditional looking Japanese room. It had the sliding doors painted with flowers and bamboo. The floor itself was made out of bamboo. The only modern thing in the room was a tall dinner table in the centre. The waitresses were wearing kimonos and their hair up in chopsticks for your hair. Chris grabbed your hand lightly and lead you threw the main room to a hidden room in the back. In the centre of this room was a fish pond. A waterfall flowed from the top of the pond to the base. Two huge rocks sat next to the pond in the use of chairs. Chris and you each took a seat on a rock. [My mom and dad use to bring me here when I was a kid] he said smiling sadly into the water. You dropped your eyes to the water as well. Chris and his sister Kally had lost their parents when Chris was ten and Kally was eight. You never were able to tell them what you knew about their parents death. Like you could never tell Tyson and Hiro what you knew about your own parents death. [So] Chris started turning to look at you. This time he had a mischievous smirk on his face. {Damn it what's he going to ask this time} you thought as you mentally sighed and waited for him to continue. [I saw a certain red haired Russian glaring at me when I took a seat next to you.] he paused there to add more drama to his question [Is a Miss Meg and a Mr. Tala going out?] Chris finished with a wide smirk dancing on his lips. You just stared at him with an unemotional face. {Ya right. Its Tala your talking about} you thought sadly. But then a memory popped into your head. It was of his good bye three months ago. You had found your way to your gate. But instead of going to the gate you were standing at the window right next to it. Two large airplanes sat their boarding. One was heading to the US and the other to Russia. Leaves that had fallen off of the near by trees swirled the planes. {Bye Tala} you thought as you stared at the metal plane to the right. {Guess Ill have to wait and tell you next time we meet} you thought as a sigh escaped your lips. Then just as you were about to turn around you felt someone slip their arms around your waist. [Didn't think Id leave without saying goodbye did you?] asked an emotionless voice in your ear. You were stunned. You knew the voice but this surly couldn't be the same person. The person then moved their arms from your waist to your shoulder and spun you around to look them in the eyes. And it was him. It was Tala. [Tala..?] you asked confused just staring into his eyes. His eyes were now holding an emotion you understood. And it was sadness. But what was he sad about. [Tala...] you started again but you were cut off by Tala gently placing his lips on yours. This completely shocked you. But you soon recovered and kissed him back. It was a gentle yet passionate kiss full of hidden emotion. After a minute Tala broke the kiss. [Goodbye] he whispered in your ear with your eyes still closed. Opening your eyes you found that you were alone. {Bye Tala} you thought again but this time you had a small smile on your face. For you knew that you didn't have to tell Tala anything. He already knew. And in three months you would see him again.

{Then again... He did kiss me..} you thought. [Meg zoning out on me already?] Chris asked annoyed after your long pause. [What?] you asked lifting your right eye brow up and giving him a confused look. [Damn your slow. Are. You. And. Ta-la. Going. Out.] he stated slowly. This earned him a glare as you said, [No me and Ta-la aren't going out]. [You two thick heads. It'll take a while for you to admit anything] he said with a sigh as he poked a fish in the pond. You just glared at him. Why does he even care about your love life? You didn't even care about your love life! Just then the sound of Adema's Giving In filled the room. Chris quickly looked at your pocket which was now singing Adema's song. With another sigh you reached into your pocket and pulled out your ringing cell phone. [Low?] you said with a yawn. [MEG ARE YOU ALRIGHT!] shouted Mike into the phone. [Well I was until you broke my ear drum] you said pissed glaring at a fish swimming around the pond. [Dude give me the phone!] you could hear someone shout at Mike. [No! She's my sister and I get to talk to her] shouted Adam back to the other person. [But I want to talk to her!] the other voice called again. [Well to bad!] Adam shouted back. Your eyes stopped chasing the fish so you could pay attention to what the hell was going on over where Mike was. [Meg did you bring your guitar?] came a voice over the phone after what sounded like a struggle for it. [Yes Mark I did bring my guitar] you said slowly trying to process what in the world was going on. {What is with these nuts?} you thought as another fight erupted for the phone. [Hey Meg have you heard the news?] came Eric's voice over the phone. With another sigh you answer him with a [No]. [Well you have to come back here to find out!] he sung into the phone. [What...] you started but the only response you received was a Click.

[What was that about?] asked Chris as he saw you stand up and walk towards the door. [Not really sure, but we have to go find out some news] you said dryly as you walked towards the entrance. Chris followed close behind now interested in the news as well. [Where are you going?] Chris called as you started to walk down the street. [Back to the BBA] you answered him. {What a dumb ass} you thought as you saw him smirking at you. [Lets take the faster way] he said as he walked around the back of the building. You just started at him with suspicion till he was out of sight. A minute later Chris came back. But now he was on a gray Kawasaki Ninja. You just smirked as you grabbed the silver helmet he was holding out to you. Getting on the back you wrapped your arms around his waste. The wind rippled your cloths as you flew down the crowed streets of Japan weaving in and out of people. In a matter of minutes you had arrived at the BBA Headquarters. Looking up towards the 25th floor you could see a shadow in one of the rooms. But in a blink of an eye they were gone. You just shrugged it off telling yourself that it wasn't anything to worry about. [Ready to see what the old fart wants?] asked Chris as he took your helmet. [Whatever] you said as you both headed towards the glass front doors.
