Night: Sane.

Casper: Boring.

Night: Bitch…

Casper: well anyways, one with the story…oh and Drago if you don't mind!

Drago: Casper does not own Bakugan, only her OCs.

Mikky P.O.V

I couldn't help but admire how much the Brawlers seemed to get along, and how easily Rayne seemed to get to know them even if just a little. I kept wondering what it felt like to have such good friends. Being that I never had any and all. I looked over at the boy with the long blue hair, Gus I think his name was. I noticed that he kept looking over at me. 'What' I demanded angrily.

Gus blinked at me and shook his head and just kept on walking.

I frowned and shoved my hands into my pockets and started fiddling with the charm that my brother Saylie had given me before he died. I wasn't paying much attention when everyone walked into a room on the right at the end of the hall. By the time I had regained my senses I had already walked face first into the wall and was lying on my back staring at the ceiling.

'Man Mikky Cat! I didn't think you to be one who walks into stuff!' I heard Rayne laugh.

I sat up and growled, more at myself than at anyone else. I some a hand appear next to me and looked up to see Gus standing over me. I raised an eyebrow but took his hand anyway and let him help me up. 'Are you alright?' he asked me.

I nodded. 'Just blacked out a minute there.' That was the best excuse I could come up with, not really wanting to explain that I was thinking about my dead brother. It wasn't any of their concern about my past, nor was it mine about theirs.

When I was back on my feet I noticed that when Gus let go of my hand, a cold feeling swept over me. It was almost like I wanted him to hold my hand. I shook my head to drive away the thought. 'Mikky, in here!' Rayne called out to me.

I walked through the door and couldn't help but stare. 'This place is huge.' I mouthed.

'Yeah, everyone seems to be shocked by it.' Dan laughed at me.

I looked around and saw that everyone was sitting down. I took a seat on a long couch and pocked at the cushion. I glanced sideways, seeing Rayne sit down next to me. I looked over at everyone else. Marucho started off by asking me. 'Who are you exactly and where did you come from?'

I gave him the answer I had hoped would stop him from asking too much. 'I'm Michaela Xerin though I prefer Mikky. I'm nineteen years old and I have never had a family and I have never had any friends in my life…ever. I am no one to this world and I wish it to stay that way. And as for where I come from even I don't really know.' I looked at them and smiled when I noticed that they all seemed a little taken aback by my answer.

I shook my head. 'What. I gave you my answer what are you all so shocked for?' I asked shrugging.

'Uh well…for one thing what do you mean by 'I am no one to with world'?' the girl named Julie asked.

I blinked. 'I mean, I am nothing. My life has no meaning, I have no purpose. My very existence is a hollow empty one and my life is nothing but an unfilled void just waiting to collapse into itself.' I shrugged. 'I have no one to care for me, and I have no one to care for. I'm an empty shell.'

Gus P.O.V

I stared at Mikky intently. Not really understanding my fascination with her. I felt a sad pain in my chest when she explained about being empty. I had the strange urge to try to comfort her. But I knew my attempt would have been in vain. Just looking into her eyes told enough to let me know that she must have gotten used to feeling that way and very long time ago, and that her heart and soul were damaged beyond repair. I crossed my arms and asked her. 'How could you not know where you come from?' I think I only really asked to keep her talking.

Mikky looked at me with those sad, empty eyes of her and simply shrugged. 'I have never remained in one place before, and even if I had at one point 'belonged' I can't seem to remember.' She answered my question. But it felt like she was talking directly to me and not the others.

Normal P.O.V

Mikky looked at her watch. She smiled to herself and crossed her arms again. 'Any second now.' She said.

'What? Are you planning something?' Runo asked.

'No…but if this doesn't show I'm a friend I have no idea what will.' She said and stood up. The sound of a motorcycle screeching outside caught everyone's attention.

'Let's go greet her then.' Mikky grinned.

~x~

Outside again, everyone stared at the person on the bike.

'You're late.' Mikky crossed her arms.

The girl on the bike stood and hoped off the motorcycle. She wore a dark brown leather vest over a beige coloured, short, shoulder less top that exposed some of her stomach, dark blue faded jeans and knee high brown leather boots. The girl put both hand on her hips.

'Who is this now?' Julie asked. 'Another…' but she was cut off.

Noelle attacked the girl with a grin. 'Devina!' she cried. 'I knew I recognised that scent!' she barked shifting into her wolf form and wagging her tail happily.

Keith's jaw dropped slightly. Devina pulled off her helmet, her long white and black streaked hair fell out, it had grown out a lot since the last time she'd seen the brawlers, reaching her hips now. Devina smiled sweetly. 'Hey.' She dropped the helmet onto her bike. 'I hope Mikky hasn't given you any trouble.' She said.

'Wait…so you know…' Dan looked at Devina then at Mikky.

Devina laughed. 'Yes, I know her. I met her like, seven years ago or something.' She said waving her hand in the air. Devina walked forwards and went to say something again when Keith grabbed her up, embracing her tightly. 'Hello.' She said slightly surprised but hugged him back anyway.

Mikky blinked and looked at the others for an explanation. Gus walked Mikky over to a slightly more private place and explained about Keith and Devina, the deal they had made, and some of what had happened the first time they'd met. 'Holy Mother of Fuck.' Mikky muttered blinking over at the two.

Keith was still hugging Devina and she was still hugging him. Most of the others had gone back inside to give them their privacy. 'I think we should do the same.' Gus said.

'What hug?' Mikky stared at his confused.

'What? No I mean leave!' he said slightly flustered.

'Oh…next time say leave.' Mikky rolled her eyes.

Gus and Mikky walked off towards some other outdoors part of the house. 'Dude where'd wego?' Mikky asked crossing her arms.

Gus didn't really want to answer. 'We're…' he muttered.

'You have no idea do you?' Mikky muttered.

Gus rubbed the back of his neck. 'Yeah.' He said.

'Moron.' Mikky muttered under her breath.

'Who are you calling a moron?' Gus demanded.

Mikky stuck her tongue out. 'Bitch please.' She said flicking some hair out of her eyes, the whole time still having her arms crossed under her breast.

Gus glared at Mikky. 'You know, you don't really seem very friendly.' He said.

'Oh! The puppy boy just figured that out now? Good for him. Maybe I'll give him a treat!' Mikky teased.

Gus scowled. 'Oh stop would you!' he shook his head. 'You're really annoying you know that?' he said.

'I thank you for your compliment.' Mikky said raising her hand in a salute.

Gus shook his head and looked around. How'd I get stuck with her? He asked himself mentally.

~x~

Devina turned her head to the right so that her face was buried in Keith's hair. 'You can let go now if you want to.' She said. 'Everyone left.'

Keith blinked, regaining his sense of reality and let her go. 'Uh…sorry about that.' He said.

Devina shrugged. 'Well we haven't really seen nor heard from each other in what…two years I think?' she shrugged. 'It's understandable.' She smiled sweetly. Her green eyes blazing with energy.

Keith smiled. 'How have you been?' he asked not really knowing where to start.

Devina just shrugged. 'Good, bad and everywhere in-between…' she shrugged.

'I'm sorry to hear about Adel…' he started.

Devina shook her head. 'Don't worry about it. It's past, and so long as we remember her she will never really be gone right?' she said forcing the smile this time.

Keith nodded and grabbed Devina's hand without thinking. He went to let go but she held on. She fell forwards into him and started shaking. 'You're not over it. Are you?' he asked holding her.

Devina shook her head. 'No…I'm not.' She whimpered.

Keith held Devina close with one arm and placed the other on her head while she let out the tears she'd kept locked up inside.

~x~

Rayne looked around and smiled at Julie. 'Hey Julie.' She said running up to her.

'Oh hey Rayne what's up?' Julie asked smiling brightly at her.

'I was just wondering…' she muttered. 'I well, I see you on the TV all the time and I wanted to know if I could have an autograph?' she asked holding out a pen and paper.

Julie squealed. 'No problem! I'm always happy to sign anything for a fan!' she beamed.

'Oh god, now she got her going.' Runo muttered.

~x~

Mikky followed Gus reluctantly. 'Where are we going you dim bat?' Mikky asked frustrated already.

'I told you I'm trying to find an entrance to the damn building.' He said.

Mikky sighed and rolled her eyes. 'Sill boy.' she said.

Gus looked over at her. 'do you have a problem with me or something?' he asked.

Mikky raised her hands in self-defence but kept a rather bored look on her face. 'Nope…just thinking out loud here idiot.' She said with an evil grin.

Gus's eye twitched. 'I wonder why that Rayne girl hangs around you…' he muttered.

Mikky shrugged. 'Coz I beat her in a brawl now she wants me to be her teacher.' She said like it was no big deal.

'Oh really?' Gus smiled seeing an opportunity. 'Then I guess you wouldn't mind brawling against me some time?' he asked.

Mikky blinked. 'Sure whatever. As soon as we figure out where we are though.' She said blankly. She frowned. 'Hey and what did you mean by "I wonder why that Rayne girl hangs around you?"' she said imitating his voice.

Gus glared at her. 'Okay, for one I sound nothing like that and secondly I mean you're so damn rude, I wonder how she can put up with it all.' He said slightly pissed off now.

Hex sighed and jumped in the middle of them seeing that at any second they could start beating the crap out of one another. 'Okay children how about we stop with fighting!' he yelled.

'Hex!' Mikky said.

'I have to agree with Hex on this.' Vulcan said appearing next to Hex.

'Vulcan.' Gus said surprised.

Mikky pouted. 'Nawwww you're no fun Hex!' she said in a rather childish tone.

Gus stared at her. What the heck? Her attitude just completely changed! He thought to himself.

'Haha! That's the Mikky I know and love!' Hex laughed.

'what do you mean?' Gus asked wanting to know.

Hex jumped. 'Oh yeah. I'll explain.' He cleared his throat. 'Before all the crap in her life Mikky actually used to really fun loving and sweet! But because of all the crap she's gone through, like being forcefully locked up in a mental asylum when she was like five she went all cold and mean and what not. I'm like one of the very few people who have actually seen the sweet side that's still in that empty shell somewhere.' He said in a low voice so that Mikky couldn't hear what he told Gus and Vulcan.

Mikky frowned. 'Oi! What're you guys talking about? I wanna know too!' she said holding her hands on either side of her mouth so she could project her voice more.

'Nothing Mikky Cat!' Hex yelled back.

Mikky just raised an eye brow at them and shrugged.

~x~

Devina sniffed and looked up at Keith. She'd managed to cry all the tears out of herself and was completely red in the face. 'S-sorry.' She muttered whipping her eyes with the back of her hand.

'It's alright.' Leith said and put his hand back on her head. 'I'd be upset too if my sister died.' He said with a sympathetic smile.

Devina smiled back. 'Thanks' she muttered.

Keith took her hand. 'C'mon we should probably head inside now. Hat others are waiting.' He said.

Devina nodded. 'Yeah.' She said and sniffed again.

Keith led Devina into the lounge room, not letting go of her hand once, almost like if he did she'd get lost or something.

~x~

Back in the lounge room Rayne had started asking Julie a bunch of questions about being a reporter.

Noelle shook her head. 'Do they ever stop?' she quizzed.

Dan shrugged. 'I think once you get Julie going, its kind hard to stop her.' He laughed.

'True.' Runo said leaning against the wall.

River just raised both his eye brows and shook his head. He went to speak when Keith and Devina walked in. 'Hey Devy…' he started.

'Devina have you been crying?' Noelle asked jumping out of her seat.

Devina crossed her arms and stared Noelle down into submission, as all good pack leaders should be able to. She couldn't help but smile though. 'Yeah…who wouldn't after the knowledge of their kid sister's death finally sank in.' she muttered.

'Oh…' Noelle muttered understanding now why Devina's face was still stained with tears. Must have been hard considering how close you two were? She asked her sister mentally.

Just then Marucho came bursting through the door. 'I found something!' he said with a over delighted grin plastered on his face.

Casper: end of chapter two.

Gus: why is Mikky such a pain?

Casper: Why don't you speak with capitals?

Gus: What?

Night: Moron…hehe, I can't wait to see their faces when Marucho tells them.

Casper: I know right! :3

Vulcan: Please review!
