SD(Sacred Dog): Aheh... I know, I haven't even half finished my other fic, but this one is better and I've already written (on paper) about 9 chapters... By the way, the rating is because there's mild swearing/cussing...

Tyson: *bored face* Just get on with it

SD: Don't rush me! Well, as I said, I've written about half the story already, but I've only got 4 chapters typed up... Sorry to Polly, Caz, Jess, and my other classmates! Someone do the disclaimer please? I think it's Tyson's turn

Tyson: Er, *reads off a piece of scrap paper* Sacred Dog does not own Beyblade. If she did, she wouldn't be writing this, and she'd be... *stops reading off paper and looks up* She'd be filthy rich!

SD: *grabs paper from Tyson and skims through it* That's not what it says! Tyson! Ahem. If I owned Beyblade, Tyson would end up in hospital more often and might just end up dieing... *smirks, eyes sparkling dangerously* Well, here's the 1st chapter – enjoy!

ASK NO QUESTIONS TELL NO LIES – by Sacred Dog

CHAPTER 1: NEW SCHOOL

--

"Talking"

~Thinking~

/Talking to bit beast/

//Bit beast talking//

{[AN:- author note]}

--

Kai Hiwatari had only just stepped through the school front gates and already he was surrounded by a swarm of fan girls (and guys). Hating the close-range attention, he gave every single person his trademark death glare, which caused everyone to back off just a bit, letting Kai through to the main building.

As Kai made his way to his locker, he muttered to himself, "School hasn't even started and already people are stalking me."

//Heh.//

Kai stopped in front of his locker and dropped his bag onto the ground. /Shut up, Dranzer/

//Hehe... What's this place again?//

/It's school./

//I know that, master, but --//

/It's called Canburr College./ {[AN:- Heh, pathetic name, I know, but it was all I could think of...]}

//Right. And you're... boarding?!//

Kai sighed, putting his things into his locker. /Yes Dranzer./ His silent conversation with his bit beast was interrupted by a shrill ring. ~Saved by the bell...~

//No you're not ^-^//

Closing the locker door and picking up his bag, Kai headed for his form class. /Just shut it already/

//Yes master, no master, of course master, as always master//

Taking a seat at the back of the room, he placed his bag under the desk and then glanced around the classroom, spotting a few familiar faces – Enrique, Mariah, Kane, Jim, Joseph, Mariam... And wait – was that Rei? Beside Mariah, a boy with raven-black hair turned around, scanning the room. His gaze stopped at Kai, and widened with surprise.

"Kai!" he called, walking over. Mariah was close at his heels.

Kai responded with a small nod.

"Kai," he said again. "Didn't think I'd find you here. I thought you were still at... Whitney Prep School?"

"Nah," Kai replied, then added with a bit of sarcasm, "Thought a change of scene would be better. It's pretty relaxed with rules and that here, you know. I'm boarding."

"You boarding?" Mariah echoed. "Me too..."

Then a familiar electronic female voice was heard. "Ahah! So the Bladebreakers re-unite again!"

"Dizzi!" Rei turned around and smiled at his teammates. "Kenny – Tyson – Max – wow, you're all here!"

"Yeah," Max agreed. "But not all in the same class."

"Really?" Rei frowned. "Ah well, we'll still see each other."

"Yah, this is great," Tyson piped up excitedly, then looked at Kai. "Well, well, waddaya know? Mr Sourpuss has switched schools. From high standard Prep School, to low standard crap school."

"Tyson!"

Tyson turned blue when he heard the all too familiar call of... Hilary!

"Don't tell me I'm in your class!" he growled.

"As a matter of fact, you're not." Hilary folded her arms across her chest. "I'm in this class with Rei and Kai."

"Phew! Okay, good, but guys –" Tyson looked at Rei and Kai "– watch out. And hope with your hearts and souls that she doesn't become class captain!" Hilary glared at Tyson and slapped him on the head. "Ow! Careful! I can't have my brain shattered before school's even started! It's fragile, you know?"

"That's where you are lucky," said Kai, smirking. "Because I think you're brain's gone wandering. You should be more careful, as it's too little to be let out alone."

"Oh, shut up, Kai!" Tyson said angrily. Then the second bell rang, causing him to panic. "Ahh! The bell!"

"Calm down," Kenny said, and led Tyson – along with Max – out of the class to their own form room. Rei, Mariah, and Hilary went to their own desks, as did the rest of the class. Kai simply closed his eyes, waiting for the teacher.
