Kyrina sat on the bed she and Kai had shared the night before, the same night he left. She picked up the photo of her wrapped in Kai's arms as he stood behind her with his chin on her shoulder, a grin on both faces. "That was when we were happy" she said as she placed it face down. She curled under the blankets and into the pillow that still bore his scent, she was unsure where to go and what to do.

Hours turned into days, and she realized that she had been locked in her room for 3 days. The championships between the bladebreakers and the demolition boys was going to take place in 2 days. She lifted her head with determination in her gaze. She knew what she had to do, she stood and showered before getting dressed in heavier clothes before grabbing her launcher, ripcord and the two beyblades on her dresser.

She pocketed her Nix Beyblade and held Dranzer in her hand, ever since Tyson had returned and handed her the blade saying that Kai had abandoned it, she felt her heart ache for not only herself, but for the loss Dranzer now suffered. She packed a few things in a bag and set out, sneaking around the corners to avoid the rest of the team.

Making it out of the hotel, she ran down the sidewalk and turned into the open gateway that lead to the forest. She stopped once she reached the tree that never bloomed, reaching a hand up she lightly traced the initials she and Kai had carved as children. Twigs snapping brought her focus to her surroundings immediately.

"Kyrina, what brings you to the Dark Bladers terrain? We have not seen you since you were a child" Sanguinex stated as he stepped from the shadows gazing at the setting sun, he looked back at her as she stepped up to him.

"I need you to train me. Kai has abandoned the team and I wish to take his place amongst them as their substitute." Kyrina replied as she merely shrugged, making it seem as if Kai was no longer important to her. Sanguinex laughed before he was joined by Lupinex.

"So the scorned woman comes looking for her claws to be sharpened huh? I can teach you as can the rest of us, however it won't bring Kai back, you know this right?" He asked as his smile was returned. Kyrina was determined for her plan to succeed.

"I do, I have something to get back that Tala stole from me." Kyrina stated following the two brothers as they lead her further into the darkness of the forest and into a hidden cave that went underground. "I needed time to fully embrace what was done to our family, and the dishonor that was thrown at us, now, I come seeking vengeance for what happened. I come asking for help, Brother" she said as her hand fell on Sanguinex's arm.

He looked over his shoulder at her and nodded. "There were times when I was locked in a dark cage and not fed dinner for misbehaving.. I would eat on some nights only if I was good. There were also times when I was punished physically by Boris for my antics." She explained, "The worst of it was his betrothing me to Tala"

Sanguinex kept silent as they reached the beystadium in the deepest parts of the cave. "Very well then Sister, let us begin your training. Kyrina merely chuckled as they started, by the middle of the 2 day time frame, she finally mastered new abilities from them. She looked at the time and ran off, she had a team to get to.

MEANWHILE…

"Tyson what are we going to do, we have no substitute registered for our team." Max stated as he, Tyson and Ray were facing the Demolition boys. Kai's eyes looked empty, almost as if he didn't wish to be there. Tyson looked up as he heard a loud excuse me and a crashing sound. Kyrina jumped over the edge of the stadium seats and flashed her substitute nametag to the security before joining Tyson.

"I am your sub guys. I just registered, sorry I am late, some last minute training." Kyrina stated as she looked over, seeing Kai's eyes flash with something she couldn't place.

A/N: SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER, I WILL TRY TO MAKE IT UP IN THE NEXT ONE
