This chapter wont be long, but it will be long enough for you readers to get a hint of whats going to happen next. I am not at home currently and wont be for a few days. Hope you enjoy!

It was a couple of days after the incident at Kia's house, her father still remained in jail and her mother remained in the hospital by choice so she didnt have to see her daugther leave. Kia was at home, packing her things while waiting for Mr. Dickenson's phone call to come back with the information on her plane tickets. Since she already had an ID on her, he didnt need to send her any special papers that said she was clear to fly under his expense. Kia couldnt believe she was actually doing this, her whole body still hurt a lot and her beyblade was covered in dust for about 2 years. She was able to find all of her beyblading stuff in a small drawer in her room that she kept locked, even though she didnt beyblade anymore, it was still a precious memory of her brother who taught her well while he was alive, so she kept it nicely tucked away from her father just in case he wanted to destroy everything in the house once more. She was dressed in a black tanktop that showed off her slightly muscled biceps and upper body figure, a pair of hip hugger jeans that hugged her slim but toned lower body figure and white tennis shoes for her size 5 feet.

The ringing of her phone made her jump, letting out a sigh of relief and picking it up

" Hello? " " Hello there Kia, here, your plane tickets will be at the East Gate 778, your plane leaves in 3 hours so I suggest you get moving. I will meet you at the Airport in Tokyo with the Bladebreakers as soon as your plane lands alright? " " Ok, that sounds fine. I see you then " " Alright Kia, have a nice trip and thank you once again " with that, hung up on the other line. Kia was more than relieved that everything was paid for and was kind of excited to be meeting the bladebreakers for the first time, but she was more relieved that she was getting the hell out of this hell hole for a while.

Once at the Airport, she gathered her tickets at the gate and sat in the gate area to wait for her plane to arrive. As she waited, she started to clean off her beyblade a bit, polishing it as best as she could to make it presentable for the team. This whole time she was thinking about how she was going to join the team if she hadnt beybladed in so long, just the memory of her beyblading made her cry because her brother was always there when she practiced, competed and even cleaned her blade. This would be the first time she would handle a beyblade on her own...

Kia slept most of the way to the Tokyo Airport, though while she was awake, she read up on the beyblading tournament that she would be competing in that year with the bladebreakers. Finally after a good, long plane ride, she heard the pilot over the PA system " All passangers please take your seats, put your seats up right and put everything back in your bags, we are approaching Tokyo Airport, landing time 10 minutes " she heard the pilot. Sighing heavily, her nerves started to get a little rattled from the excitement of this whole trip. She had never been outside her home town let alone outside the country before, so this whole thing would be a new experience for her.

As soon as she got off the plane, everything to her was completely strange to her. The smell of the airport was clean but different from the airport she was just at, the people all had black hair and the language was completely unreadable to her. Sighing heavily, she went over the nearest pillar and leaned against it " What the hell did I just get myself into? " she asked herself as she ran her hands through her long, black hair and closed her black eyes.

The sudden shouting of Mr. Dickenson made her jump, making her gasp a bit as she opened her eyes " Kia! Over here! " he yelled for her from about 20 yards away. Kia smirked a bit and picked up her duffle bag, walking towards with her hand in her pocket ( kinda like how Kai walks ). " Welcome to Tokyo Kia, I hope you had a nice trip. " greeted her, holding out his hand for her to shake it. Kia simply looked at his hand and denied it, nodding to him instead " it was fine. So where is this team of yours? " she asked him immediately. " Oh yes, they are right over there. Though may I ask you...what happened to you? You're all cut up and bruised? " he asked her, eying her body a bit to see more cuts along her arms and neck. Kia looked away and sighed, completely forgetting that she still had the knife cuts on her arms but knew he would see the stitches on her face. " I got into a fight before I came here, can we go meet them now? " she asked him, not wanting to put detail into her answer. Mr Dickenson nodded and started to walk towards the team " Yes, right this way " he said to her as he started to walk.

The team didnt look too excited to be there, all of them tired from the constant training Kai was putting on them and sad that Max decided to go with the PVB All Stars that year. Tyson, Kenny and Rei were sitting on the benches while Kai leaned against the pillar in his usual stance. " So guys, Mr Dickenson said he had a surprise for us, but where is he? " he asked everyone, Kenny shook his head and shrugged. " Who knows. Though by the looks of the situation, he might have found us a new member for the team " He predicted, shutting his laptop and leaning against the back of the bench. Rei was leaning forward with his elbows resting on his knees. " I sure hope so, maybe Kai will go easy on us if he isnt under so much stress " Rei said as he looked over at Kai, who simply raised an eyebrow.

Mr Dickenson smiled as he approached the team, Kia not too far behind him. " Hello boys, you ready for your surprise? " he asked them, making them stand up and look at him " Yes Mr.D. We've been waiting for-" Tyson was silenced when he saw Kia, his mouth dropped a bit at her beauty along with Kenny's as well. laughed a bit before moving aside for Kia to approach closer. " Tyson, Kenny, Rei and Kai, I want you to meet Kia. She is from the USA and I have politely asked her to be apart of the team this year. She has won many local tournaments in her life but never been outside the country before so please be nice to her. With a little practice and confidence, I am sure she will make a great addition to the team. Kia, this is Tyson, Kenny, Rei and Kai over there " introduced, Tyson and Kenny immediately in front of her to shake her hand. " Hi There, Im Tyson, very nice to meet you Kia! " he said to her happily, shaking her hand with both of his. Kia smirked a bit but kind of backed away from them as they got too close. " Umm...nice to meet you too. " she simply said them, letting them shake her hand. Rei smiled at her as he approached her as well, looking down at her since she was so small even compared to him. " Im Rei, Nice to meet you Kia " he said to her, shaking her hand gently, this made her smile a bit along with some blushing. Kai didnt make a move to even get off the pillar to shake her hand, he was only on the team so that he could compete this year as well.

" Hey Kai, wanna come over here and meet your new team member? " asked from his sport about 5 yards away. Kai sighed heavily and got off the pillar, slowly walking over to the group and looking down at Kia. His eyes immediately went the stitching on her face, narrowing his eyes before looking at her " What happened to your face? " he asked her almost immediately, not bothering to introduce himself at all. Kia was a bit taken back by his rudeness and glared up at him " I got into a fight before I came here. Anyone else wanna ask? " she asked in a very annoyed voice, looking at the whole team who slightly backed away from her aura of annoyance. " Oh no...we're good. We figured it was a fight " they all said to her, making her smirk a bit. " Good, now can we get going? " she asked who walked up to stand beside her. " Sure thing, the BBA Van is right outside the airport doors " he said to her as he started to walk towards the doors.

The whole rest of the team followed, Kia walking a bit fast but not too fast , just fast enough to keep up with Tyson and Kenny. Rei and Kai were a bit behind her as they walked. " So Kai, what do you think? She's really cute " Rei said to her, elbowing him a bit. Kai shrugged a bit and continued looking ahead " I only care if she can beyblade or not, her looks or her rudeness dont matter to me and they shouldnt to you guys either " Kai said to Rei with a very annoyed look on his face, hating the fact that his team mate only noticed her looks and showed no concern as to whether or not she can beyblade. " Well Mr Dickenson did say that she won most of the local tournaments, so she has to be good. We can talk to her back at the Dojo to find out more about her " Rei suggested to Kai, soon walking ahead to be beside Kia to chat a bit with her, just to get her more comfortable about this whole matter.

Kenny was the first one into the van, taking the seat nearest to the wall as Tyson climbed in to sit in the backseat. Kia and Rei moved to the back as Kai took front seat beside Kenny. This whole time, Kai was wandering if that slice on her cheek was really from a fight or something else, the bruises on her face told it was fight though. " You better be as good as you say you are, I dont like slackers or people who brag about their no good skills " Kai said to Kia from the front, making her glare at him from the back. " For your information, I didnt say I was that good and I do have skills. I just havent used them in two years, took a break " she said to him before moving her eyes to look out the window. " Why would you wanna take a break from beyblading, its the greatest sport ever! " Tyson said to her as he looked back at her from the front seat. Kia sighed heavily as she thought of something to say " I just...have my reasons. Maybe you'll know them later but not now " she said to him, though her voice didnt sound annoyed or anger, just plain and kind of sad sounding. Rei looked at her from where he sat along with Kenny and even Kai shot a glance at her as he heard her answer to the question.

As they arrived at the Dojo, Kia was the last one out, her eyes scanning the place that she would be staying at for the next 2 weeks for training. Tyson smiled as he saw the look in her eyes and nodded his head for her to follow him " Dont worry this place isnt as bad as it looks. " he said to her reassuringly, only for his words to be shoved back down his throat from his grandpa coming out of nowhere " hey! There is the little dudette! Very nice to finally meet you! " he said to her, scaring the holy hell out of her. Tyson smacked his grandpa's shoulder and shook his head " Grandpa! Why do you have to scare her like that? Wait a minute...you knew of this all along? Why didnt you tell us? " Tyson yelled back at his grandpa " Why would I wanna ruin such a beautiful surprise for you? If I told you, you wouldnt be able to concentrate on your beyblading as well as Kai expects of you. " Grandpa responded calmly now, kinda making Kia a little weary of him. Rei laughed a bit and walked up beside Kia " Dont mind them, they arent like that all the time and his grandpa is actually a pretty nice guy. Come on, we can show the place while Tyson catches up " Rei said to her as he started to lead her towards the Dojo, Kenny following behind them. Kai remained back a bit to talk to , standing in front of Mr Dickenson with his arms crossed. " I really do hope she's as good as you say she is, I dont have time to train amatures " Kai said to him while glaring a bit. Mr Dickenson simply shook his head and looked up at Kai " Kai, give her a chance, she has skills, she just needs to resurface them again. I'll be by to check on things before the tournament. Good Day " he said to Kai before turning around and walking back towards the van.
