Chapter 1: Ray's Friend
Max woke Tyson up. Tyson was lying on the ground, clutching a lamp that fell onto the ground. He was drooling on the ground, and the corner of his mouth was twitching. Max kicked him gently.
"Tyson! Wake up!"
Tyson slowly opened up his eyes. "Max. what time is it?"
Chief stepped out from behind Max. "It's 10:30. We're late for our training with Mr. Heepe."
It took a while for it to sink into Tyson's head that they were late because of him. When it finally did sink in, Tyson jumped up and ran to the bathroom. Five minutes later, he ran out, freshly showered and dressed to train. He was wearing a yellow T-shirt and blue jean shorts. Ray, who was in the kitchen waiting for Tyson, grabbed an apple and cleaned it. Tyson ran to the kitchen followed by Max and Chief. Ray threw the apple to Tyson and he caught it and took a bite in it. He grabbed his red jacket and ran out the door. Max, who was wearing his usual green shirt and orange overalls, Chief, who was wearing a white shirt with a green tie and blue jean shorts, and Ray, who was wearing a white Japanese shirt with a red belt and blue sweats.
The four ran through the streets to the small temple in the middle of the city.
"Hey, where's Kai?" Tyson asked.
"He was tired of waiting for you, so he left without us." Chief answered.
"Oh."
They reached the building to find Kai sitting on the balcony, on the ground, on a red pillow. He had his eyes closed and his legs crossed. Standing next to him, frowning, was Mr. Heepe.
"Where have you boys been?" Mr. Heepe asked.
Tyson rubbed the back of his head. "I slept in."
Mr. Heepe frowned even more. "Get inside and change into your robes. GO!"
The four ran in the temple and changed into their robes. The walked out to the balcony and waited for Mr. Heepe to tell them what to do.
"Sit on a pillow."
They each grabbed a pillow and sat on it like Kai was sitting on his.
"Now close your eyes."
They each closed their eyes.
"Now concentrate on nothing."
They each concentrated really hard. In the meantime, Mr. Heepe went in the temple to eat. On the table, were four riceballs, his favorite food. He sat down, then realised that he needed his secret sauce. He got up and walked to the fridge. He grabbed his sauce and closed the fridge door. He walked back to the table and sat down. Just as he was about to pour his sauce on the riceballs, he realised that there were only three on his plate. He looked around.
"Maybe one fell on the floor." he said. He bent down and pretended to look on the floor. He listened carefully and heard shuffling on the table. He reached for something on the table and grabbed a wrist. He got up and looked at the culprit.
It was a young girl. She had short red hair and bright green eyes. She was wearing a torn belly T-shirt and a torn blue skirt. She had on very thin slippers that were torn at the heels.
"Let go of me!" the young girl screamed as she tried to pull away from Mr. Heepe's grip.
"Who are you?" Mr. Heepe asked.
"Who cares! Let go of me!" she screamed.
Out on the balcony, the girl's screams broke all five of the guys' concentration. Tyson looked at the door behind him.
"We should check that out." Max pointed out.
Tyson, Chief and ray nodded in agreement, and Kai sighed.
Tyson jumped up and ran into the temple, followed by Max, Chief and Ray.
Tyson looked at the girl struggling with Mr. Heepe.
"I said. who are you?" Mr. Heepe asked again.
"And I said WHO CARES?" The girl replied again.
Ray, who was standing behind everyone, stepped through Max, Chief and Tyson. He walked up to the table and looked at the girl.
"Saori?" Ray mumbled.
The girl looked at Ray and stopped struggling. "Ray."
"Mr. Heepe, she's fine. Let her go, please." Ray sighed.
Mr. Heepe let go of Saori's wrist. Sato rubbed her wrist, which was red.
"Saori, what are you doing here?"
"I. smelt the wonderful riceballs, and got hungry. Normally, I wouldn't steal. but lately I've been very hungry and very broke."
"But, why are you broke? Your parents are so rich!" Ray asked.
Saori looked at the ground. "They WERE rich. Mum and Papa died."
Ray's eyes grew wide and he walked up to Saori. "I'm so sorry. That's why you're broke! You have no family!"
Tears filled down from Saori's eyes. "I have no relatives. Just Mum and Papa, and now they're gone. I have no where to go."
"What about your aunt?" Ray asked.
"She was in the car with my parents."
Ray hugged Saori as she started crying.
Tyson, Max, Chief and Mr. Heepe just stared. They didn't know what to do or say. The room was silent until Kai stormed in the room.
"What's the deal?" Kai asked abruptly.
He looked at Ray and Saori. ".Oh."
He crept over to Chief. "Who's that?" Kai whispered.
Chief shrugged. "A friend of Ray's, I guess."
Ray and Saori stopped hugging and Ray held her hand. He walked over to the group.
"Saori, this is the gang. Tyson, Max, Chief, and Kai."
Saori wiped away her tears. "Chief? Is that your real name?"
Chief smiled. "No, no. My real name is Kenny, but my friends call me Chief."
"Oh."
"Gang, this is Saori. She and I were close growing up. She always had trouble with her family, so she took up Beyblading."
Saori smiled. "Beyblading took me away from my troubles and my family. It let me concentrate on something other than the fact that my family keeps growing smaller and smaller."
Mr. Heepe put his hand on Saori's shoulder. "I'm sorry I hurt you. I thought you were a common thief."
"It's okay." Saori said. Her stomach started to rumble.
"Would you like something to eat?" Mr. Heepe asked.
Saori nodded slowly and Mr. Heepe led her to the table. She sat down. Mr Heepe went to the fridge and took some ramen out. He put it in the oven to heat it up. He looked over at the guys.
"Go back to concentrating. As soon as I've got Saori all set up, I'll come out and train you."
The guys turned around and walked out. They sat on their pillows.
"Hey, Ray. What did Saori mean when she said her family keeps getting smaller?" Tyson asked.
Ray sighed. "Saori's family members keep getting involved in tragic accidents. Her family keeps dying. Eventually, it was just her, her parents, and her aunt. Now her parents and her aunt are gone. She's all alone."
"So, where is she staying?" Max asked.
"On the streets, I guess."
"How is she able to support herself?" Chief asked.
"She probably Beyblades for money. She's the reigning champion of the Championship Tournament, you know."
Kai slammed his fist on the ground. "Hey, you idiots! We're supposed to concentrate, not gossip! So, shut-up!"
Back in the house, Saori was eating ramen and Mr. Heepe was eating his riceballs. The room was silent. Finally, Mr. Heepe looked up at Saori.
"Do you have any place to live?"
Saori shook her head.
"Would you like to live with the boys?"
Saori thought for a moment then ate some ramen. When she swallowed, she took a breath.
"If it's the only option I've got."
"It is."
"Then yeah, Why not? Ray's my friend. and I'm sure I'll like the others! That guy Kai looks friendly!"
Mr. Heepe raised one eyebrow. "You must have poor judge of character."
Saori frowned. "Why does everyone keep telling me that?"
Mr. Heepe smiled. "Beats me. Now, I'm giving the guys an apartment to themselves, so they don't have to worry about changing hotels once their welcome has expired. I'll be paying for most of the rent, and I'm sure none of them can cook, so would you like to live with them?"
Saori smiled. "I LOVE COOKING! YES! I would like to stay with them! That is. if they're okay with it."
Mr. Heepe smiled and finished his riceballs. He got up. "If you'll excuse me, I have to pound some manners and fighting abilities into those losers!"
Saori laughed. "Please do!"
Mr. Heepe went outside to find Kai deep in mediation, Max with his eyes closed, and fiddling with the corner of the pillow, Chief clutching his laptop with his eyes closed, Ray almost in mediation, and Tyson sitting up, sleeping.
"Boys! Get up! .Apparently this exercise wasn't as successful as I had hoped."
The boys got up and stood in front of Mr. Heepe. "I would like to ask you boys a question before we start. Would you be alright if Saori lived with you in your new apartment?"
Tyson smiled. "New apartment?"
"Yes, yes. We'll talk about that later. Now, for Saori?"
Ray smiled. "I'm okay with it!"
"Me too!" Max agreed.
"Me three!" Chief chirped.
"Sounds good!" Tyson mentioned.
Everyone turned their heads to face Kai.
Kai shrugged. "I guess. but she had better not be as annoying as these idiots!"
Inside the temple, you could hear Saori jumping up and down screaming "YES!"
Mr. Heepe and the guys started training. Five hours later, they finished.
Tyson was all beaten up, Max was a little hyper, Chief was sweating like crazy, Ray was a little sore and Kai was in perfect condition, and grinning. They walked into the temple and found Saori standing in front of a table full of food.
"To thank all of you for accepting me into your home!" Saori smiled.
Everyone showered, then sat down at the table and ate.
Every once in a while, Kai would look up at Saori and study her. Saori would notice him and smile.
