"Ryuuga! Ryuuga!" An eighteen year old Kenta exclaimed, bursting on to the roof.
"Hush!" Dunamis, now twenty one, hissed. "He's concentrating! Trying to control his temper."
"It's important!" Kenta insisted, hearing the footsteps slow and steady on the stairwell.
"What is so important that you need me to stop? I could loose my balance at any moment you know." Twenty three Ryuuga called, eyes closed. He was currently standing on one foot on a plank of wood that was lined across a metal cylyndar. He held a bowl of water in each hand, and one on his head.
"Someone's here to see you!"
"Tell them I'm busy."
"Even too busy for an old friend?" A woman's voice asked.
Ryuuga's eyes flew open and he suddenly lost his balance. All three bowls of water and the plank flew into the air. The water drenched him, one of the bowls landing on his head, covering his right eye. The wood came crashing down on his head.
"K- Kurai?" Ryuuga stammered, moving the dish off of his head.
"Is there another girl you've dated whose name was Kurai? Oh, Ryuuga! I've missed you so much!" Kurai lunged for the man, who had stood up, and embraced him in a hug.
"Me too Kurai. Me too." Ryuuga whispered in her ear.
Tsubasa, Kyoya, Gingka, and Tithi walked into the living room, intent on getting to bed. They all froze when they heard a girl's joyous laugh.
"Ryuuga, you actually took some advice someone gave you!" A black haired girl with silver streaks laughed.
"Can't say it didn't help. I've changed over the past, god what has it been now? Three years? Four?" Ryuuga frowned.
"Five." The girl had her back turned to them.
"Please tell me my eyes and my ears are decieving me." Kyoya said, slowly.
"Ah! Kyoya! You're still alive!"
"Kurai!" Kyoya embraced the girl in a hug.
"Oh, Tsubasa! I got a message for you." Kurai reached into her black leather jacket and pulled a white envelope out of an inside pocket. "It's from Yu."
At the sound of his friend's name, the twenty one year old snatched the letter from the girl's hand.
He quickly retreated to his room.
Tsubasa,
It's Yu here. I gave this letter to Kurai because I knew she was on her way back to WBBA. At the moment, I'm on a mission.
You're probably wondering why Kurai has this letter and what mission I'm on, huh? I'll tell you.
Do you remember five years ago to this date, when we faced off the Black Tigers and Queen Fernis spoke to us? She told me my cousin was her best spy- never failed a mission.
I'm following in his footsteps.
Kurai is now queen of the Amazons and I'm her best spy- she says. I'm kinda proud of that.
Anyway, I'm working on a new mission now; There have been strange sightings around the globe of people who practically have all the same Beys, more or less. Something to do with some wild cats. I'm traveling around the world while you read this letter.
You know, I'm kinda scared. What if these sightings have to do with the Black Tigers? I mean, we heard what Kyoya's- tell him and the others I said hi by the way- father said. We hadn't seen the last of him.
Whatever though. I just wanted to tell you where I had gotten to. I'm fine, happy, and alive.
Your friend,
Yu
P.S. You remember that short haired blonde guy you Bladed with a few weeks ago? That was all decked out in black and silver? That was me. I almost didn't recongize you.
Maybe I'll see you soon again. Until then, bye.
Kurai listened to Ryuuga's soft snoring. As soon as the two had gotten the chance, they had made way to his room, 'catching up' on five years of not seeing each other.
His heart beats so steadily. Kurai thought. She nestled further under the covers, smiling to herself as Ryuuga half consiously wrapped both arms around her, stilling her.
"Good night Ry." Kurai murmured.
"...'Night Kurai." Came the sleepy response.
