Chapter 4

Later that night bright lights shot through the sky like a meteor shower and lit the sky up like a rainbow waking a sleeping Yukari as his bed was beside the window and the bright light shone through his window. He opened his eyes then began to wince at the bright light when he saw someone sitting on the roof of the garage. Yukari opened his window and he climbed out onto the window frame and proceeded to move his way to the garage to see who was sitting on the garage. As he came closer he saw that it was his sister Hikari and their cousin Jean and the two seemed to be watching the shooting lights with awe at least Hikari was awestruck. Yukari came to stand next to them and then sat beside Jean as both he and Hikari looked over and she smiled at him.

"What are you doing out her Kari and what are you doing with Jean?" Yukari asked.

"I was awoken by Jean and he told me that there was a meteor shower and asked if I'd like to see it." Hikari said with a smile as she cuddled closer to Jean.

"Why didn't you wake me up Jean? Why only Kari?" Yukari said with a frown.

"Look Yuki I tried to wake you but you were dead asleep and impossible to wake so I woke Kari instead and brought her here to see the show." Jean said with a frown.

"Whatever Jean…" Yukari trailed off as he stared at his sister whom was settled between Jean's legs with his arms around her and she was leaning back into his chest. The three sat there staring at the strange lights lighting the night sky.

Later that same morning when everyone else was waking up Yukari, Hikari and Jean continued to sleep; since they were up late the previous night; so their parents let the three sleep in a bit longer. After they were all cleaned and dressed they came downstairs for breakfast minus the three sleeping children.

Tyler noticed that three of the children were missing but thought nothing of it because he was far too excited about the thing he had to show his friends. After breakfast was done and over with the parents all filed into Marucho's study to talk about something and Tyler proceeded to gather everyone up and get them to join him in another room.

"What is so important that you have to bother us Ty, and it had better be important or else." Minami said with a frown.

"No one told you to come Mimi I only wanted everyone else to come that's all." Tyler said with a sneer as he turned to the others with a smirk.

"Look what I found in my room that appeared out of nowhere." Tyler said as he held out his hand then opened it to reveal a red ball.

"Seriously you brought us all together just to show up a little red ball you have?" Mei-Lin said with a frown then turned to leave.

"Wait this is the best part!" Tyler said as he threw the ball onto the table and it rolled then stopped and opened to reveal what appeared to be a Gargoyle face with long black horns.

"What the heck is that thing it looks really weird." Minami said as she picked the oddly shaped ball.

"That's called a Bakugan and it's the Bakugan Garganoid at least I think right niisan?" a voice said as the others turned and looked at the door to reveal Hikari, Yukari and Jean standing in the doorway all with scowls on their face.

"What did you call this thing…a ba…bakugun? What is a Bakugun?" Tyler asked in a teasing voice.

"I said it's a Bakugan…ba…ku…gan not a Bakugun. Seriously do you not know what a Bakugan is?" Hikari said as she put her hands on her hips and glared at Tyler.

"I know what a Bakugan is; they were things our parents played with when they were younger. I'm not an idiot…" Tyler said with a glare.

"Could have fooled me…" Jean said with a smirk causing Tyler to growl.

"All right boys lets behave ourselves now especially you Tyler…" Yukari said with a sigh.

"He started it the stuck up jerk!" Tyler said.

"Let's get back on topic here boys…now how do you know this is a Bakugan without having ever seen one?" Mei-Lin asked.

"Who says we've never seen them?" Hikari said as she folded her arms and humphed.

"So you have seen these things before when and where?" Natsuya asked.

"Niisan you wanna show them or should I?" Hikari asked.

"I will this is what we mean." Yukari said as he reached into Hikari's backpack and pulled out a handful of Bakugan Balls.

"Where on earth did you get that many Bakugan and so fast?" Lily asked astonished at the large amount in his hand.

"We found them a while ago when niisan collected all those cards on his way home with momma." Hikari said.

~Flashback~

Yukari traveled to the store with his mother and once got there they proceeded to buy ice cream bars for the students as well as some food for their house. After they had paid for the ice cream and food they took the bags and were on their way home when the sky suddenly darkened with a weird looking colorful cloud.

"Strange the forecast made no mention of rain today and those clouds are oddly colored. All the same lets hurry home Yuki kun before it begins to rain." Talia said as she hurried her son along only to have some green things started to fall from the sky.

Yuki looked up as he held his hands out as a black card appeared in his hands and then more started to appear before him as he collected them.

Once they arrived home Yukari ran into the house and right past his father on his way to find Hikari.

"Hey no running in the house or else you'll fall and get hurt!" Shun yelled at his son whom ran around the corner and up the stairs to find his sister.

"Hey hun he's really excited about something and couldn't wait to show his sister." Talia said as she came into the house with two large bags of food. Shun walked over and took one of the bags from her then walked into the kitchen to put the things away.

"I'm guessing your class is already over…and I bought all these ice cream bars for the students." Talia said as she put the boxes away in the freezer.

"I cancelled class today it is far too hot to practice and I don't want the house smelling like musk all day." Shun said as he fake gagged.

"Very funny Shun let's get these things but away before they melt." Talia said.

Meanwhile Yukari ran up the stairs and straight to his sister's room and knocked on the door. After hearing a muffled come in Yukari opened the door to see Hikari in a tank and skirt rather than her normal attire.

"Look what I found on my way home with mom…remember that dad told us that these things went to a Bakugan game he played as a kid." Yukari said as he dropped the handful of cards onto the floor with a thud.

"Wow you certainly got a lot of them Yuki kun where did you find them?" Hikari asked.

"Believe it or not but the rained from the sky in front of me and mom." Yukari said as he picked up a card and the card glowed and a small green ball appeared from the card. Soon all the cards started to glow and balls appeared from them all.

"Wow look at all the Bakugan that appeared from those cards Yuki kun this is amazing." Hikari said as she picked one up and it opened in her hand to reveal a wolf like face.

"I wonder why they appeared after so long dad said it's been what like twenty five years or something like that." Yukari said.

"Oh yeah dad we have to hid these from dad for the time being until we can figure out what the Bakugan want with us." Hikari said as she got a small backpack from her closet and started to pick up the Bakugan balls and cards.

~End Flashback~

We've had them ever since then and once we got here we saw that Jean had some too." Hikari said.

"So the three of you have had them for awhile and didn't tell us that's down right ignorant of you." Minami said with a scowl.

"We didn't have to tell you guys anything after all you don't like us anyway so why would we share anything with someone whom dislikes us?" Hikari asked.

"It's not that we don't like you but you guys always seemed to be so aloof and standoffish that we thought you didn't like us." Mai-Lin said sticking up for the twins and Jean.

"That's not it at all Mei, they think they're better than us and that's why we don't get along." Lily said as she folded her arms.

"We do not think we are better than you at least these two don't…" Jean said, "I on the other hand know I am better than the lot of you." Jean finished with a sneer.

"Those are fighting words buddy and it's three against five we have the advantage." Tyler said.

"The advantage for what may I ask?" came the voice of Dan as he and the other parents appeared behind Hikari, Yukari and Jean. Yukari quickly shoved the Bakugan balls into Hikari's backpack before the parents could see but Tyler's was left on the table and Dan quickly took notice of it.

"Whose Bakugan is this and where did it come from?" Dan demanded as all the children suddenly got real quiet. Dan scowled at the children but they just put their heads down and refused to look the parents in the eyes.

"No one's willing to talk Dan now what?" Julie asked.

"I know how to get them to spill at least one…" Shun trailed off as he knelt in front of Hikari and looked her straight in the eye, "Hikari whose Bakugan is that on the table?" Shun asked as Hikari tensed up and looked at Yukari whom simply shook his head 'no.'

"Hikari Kazami I asked you a question and will get an answer from you one way or another." Shun demanded as he saw Hikari wince at his tone and couldn't help but smirk at her.

Hikari sighed and looked up into her father's angry eyes then looked at Yukari with an apologetic look on her face, "It's Tyler's daddy, he wanted to show everyone."

"You little rat why I outta…" Tyler said angrily at Hikari.

"Now, now Tyler it was a simple question and we wouldn't have had to resort to that if you had just told us. I'm not mad I just wanna know more." Dan said with a smile as he patted his son on his head.
