Warnings: Some language and violence

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade. I do own the OC's. I have no intention of making a prophit of this, I write for the soul purpouse of writing alone.
Summary: What happens when Mr. Dickenson brings the Bladebreakers a new captian and Kai has to step down? And, what if this new captian is a girl who Kai knows from the Abbey?
Side note: I have altered some things so they'll flow better. Including the characters in the team--meaning, I have added an extra member to it instead of Hilary. Sorry, Hilary fans, but she annoys me :)
OMN. POV
"Kai."
The blunette was shaken softly as a quiet voice pulled him from slumber.
Mentally cursing the other, he rolled onto his side, continuing to ignore the constant bother that wouldn't let him sleep. Of course, he had an excuse for sleeping in. The previous night, he didn't exactly sleep like a baby.
"Kai. Get up."
The voice persisted.
Quite frankly, the blunette was getting aggrivated by the other who was trying to get him to wake up.
"Kai." The voice almost growled now. "Get up, Cal's gone."
Crimson eyes shot open and the blue haired teen spun in the blankets, tangling himself further, to stare at the icey eyed blader sitting beside him on his bed.
"What?"
"I guess I fell asleep and when I woke up, she was gone." He shrugged, turning away. "I haven't gone looking for her yet, I only just got up. I figured you'd have a better idea of where she would be since you two seem to be on good terms now."
"What do you mean?" Sleep was still tugging at him and he was exhausted.
"She said your name in her sleep," He said slowly, obviously aware of his friend's condition. "We both know why she dreams, so she must have forgiven you for what you did." More shrugging. "Did I assume in thinking that it was mutual?"
"No. I have forgiven her and promised her that I'd never leave her side..." Kai wondered if he was giving the red head too much information.
"Then where do you expect she is?" Tala was worried, prodding the blunette into answering, but he was refusing to show that.
Kai sat up now, shifting so his legs were hanging off the side of the bed.
"Hm." The blunette shifted to stand with the red head, icy eyes intent on Kai. When the blunette didn't answer, Tala folded his arms and narrowed his eyes at the other teen.
"Kai."
"What?"
The red head was openly annoied. He shifted his weight onto one leg so he radiated his frustration.
"You know what."
Kai rolled his eyes and moved to the door. Tala moved right beside him and beat him to the door.
"Try Tati's room. I'll look outside."
The red head seemed satisfied enough to nod at Kai's suggestion. Unfolding his arms, he moved to open the door and turned, walking briskly down to the stairway leading up to the attic.
Before leaving his room, his crimson eyes glanced at the neon numbers on his clock. It was only six. What would Cal be doing at six? He was sure no one would be up other than Tala and himself, but their previous night kind of threw that out of whack. But still, there would be nothing for her to do. He shrugged, guessing she just didn't take the team's laziness into consideration.
Keeping his word to Tala, he shoved his hands into his pockets and moved silently down the stairs. He closed his eyes as he slowly heel-toed it down the steps, sifting through the thoughts that occured to him last night and had shunned away.
What was Voltaire up to and what role was Caliban playing in it?
Frustrated, he grunted again and turned into the entertainment room. The piano seemed more prominent in the room. But, now the room looked unsettlingly bare without the silver eyed girl's smile illuminating the empty space. Shaking his head, he continued through said room into the kitchen, then paused.
His crimson eyes scowered the room to pick out the diffrence that made him hesitate.
Sitting on the table was a toppled over box of cereal, an empty bowl, a spoon and milk. Kai scoffed and moved to the table to pick the box up and set it upright before moving on to bring the dishes to the sink. Then, something else caught his eye. The door at the back of the kitchen hung ajar in its place, half open. The light wind caused it to repeatidly bump against the frame loudly in the quiet morning.
How did he miss that before? He began to wrack his brain, thinking he was not only tired, but sick, when his thoughts were interrupted by another.
"Anything?"
The blunette looked up to the redhead in the doorway from the entertainment room to the red head. He nodded to the door and table and Tala let out a sigh before moving to the door. Without really hesitating, the red head moved out into the barely lit, still sleeping world. The blunette followed him out silently, veering off to the garden while Tala moved straight to the front of the yard.
Yellow light was filtering from the rising sun, so visibility was fine, but long shadows still managed to loom along the ground, growing ominously larger as thick clouds pulled across the sky.
The red head moved quietly through the grass barefoot. He cringed at himself, wishing he had his shoes so he didn't have to dirty his feet, but decided some things were more important than clean feet. Cramming his balled fists into his pockets, he stifled a yawn as ice blue eyes scanned the area for any movement. When something in the grass shifted, the red head advanced towards it before pausing.
"You can't stay in one place for very long, can you?" He shifted to crouch next to the figure laying in the grass.
She laughed and looked up to him, her hands behind her head and kness bent as she smirked. "Not really." She glanced over to the blunette when he came into view.
"I found her." The red head motioned for Kai to sit. The blunette complied, sinking into the soft grass next to Tala.
"Why'd you up and go?" He said indifferently, but was secretly relived that she hadn't gone far.
Silver eyes scrutinized crimson before moving to the sky. "I wanted to watch the sunrise." She sighed softly, closing the silver orbs as a soft wind tangled her loose hair and rustled the grass. "I haven't been able to in who knows how long. I missed it."
Tala's smile vanished and he shifted in the grass to sit behind the white haired girl so her head was in his lap. When she opened her eyes to watch him, he was staring into the sky, running his pale fingers through her long hair.
"Well, now you can watch the sunrise every morning." His voice was soft as his intense eyes glanced down at the girl shifting to sit up in his lap. She rested her head on his shoulder and curled up, leaning into his chest.
Crimson eyes watched the two but looked away before silver could meet their gaze. He lay down in the grass, facing away from the red and white haired couple, trying his best to keep his frown internal. He couldn't, however, stifle the sigh that passed his lips.
Two pairs of eyes watched the blunette a few moments before he turned his head to stare back.
"Is everything alright Kai?" The white haired girl shifted on her pusedo brother's lap to move next to Kai so their eyes were on the same level.
Not wanting her to see through him, he turned his gaze back to the sky and shrugged. "I just didn't get much sleep."
"Oh." She blinked, frowing and moving away from him. Her eyes shot back to him when he caught her wrist and pulled her back onto the soft grass. When he didn't meet her eyes, she followed his stare into the sky and couldn't supress the gasp that brought a childish sparkle to the silver orbs. "Wow," She breathed, settling beside the blunette. Tala moved beside her, linking his arm in hers, watching the sky that the other two seemed absorbed in.
Three pairs of eyes looked over as they heard the door close and footsteps advanced toward them. By now, the sun was fully above the horizon, casting yellows, reds, oranges, and pinks into the barren world surrounding the reunited trio.
Both black haired teens sat a few feet away from the group of Russians. One sat closer than the other, smiling widely.
"How long have you three been up?" Tati smiled, more intent on looking at the surrounding world than the serene group laying in the grass before her.
"Yeah, it's only six thirty." The golden eyes of the teen, unlike the bronze girl, were set on Tala, Kai and Caliban. He smirked, then relaxed a little when no one answered. "Or, do all Russians get up before dawn?"
Cal shifted to stand, but her wrist was still encased by the pale blunette. When he realized she moved, Kai stood with her, still holding her wrist. She watched him, but he glanced to Tala who smirked and turned to the two sitting behind him.
"Want to help me with breakfast?" The red head stood as well, watching as the two glanced at Cal and Kai, but then both nodded.
"Sure," Tati smiled, helping Ray off the grass.
"It'll take all of us to feed Tyson." Ray smirked and was reassured when his red headded friend laughed and slung an arm around his shoulders.
"Don't we know it."
The three wandered off back to the dojo, followed by silver eyes. When they dissapeared into the kitchen, the silver orbs turned to crimson. When she realized Kai was staring at her, she looked away to hide the soft flush that washed over her pale cheeks.
"I want to talk to you, Cal." His tone made her turn slightly to see him watching her intently, serious. She nodded and let him lead her further away from the dojo.
"It's about the Abbey and Voltaire." He stated, not looking at her as they walked, but he felt her stiffen, so he stopped to watch her with curious eyes.
"I don't know anything. I woke up one morning and Mr. Dickenson was there and made Voltaire give me up. I overheard him say something about a new bit beast, but that's it. He brought me here and told me nothing." She spoke slowly, not meeting his eyes.
Frustrated, the blunette took her chin almost roughly, forcing her to face him. She winced as his thumb barred into her jaw and looked away from him, pulling her face out of his hand. But he wouldn't have that, this time taking her chin and shoulder as he leaned in to intensify his stare.
"What do you know about this new bit beast." He asked cooly, struggling to be gentle with the girl, but this was an infuriating topic for him.
"It's modeled after Dragoon. Some kind of cyborg that can copy any move it sees Dragoon do. But I heard Boris gave up on it because they can't get their hands on the real Dragoon." She muttered, squirming in his hold. This was harder for her than it was for him due to how she had recently been under Voltaire's 'care' and was still struggling with the transition.
Sighing, he nodded and let go of her chin, but pulled her into him by her shoulder. The blunette wrapped his arms around her small waist as he rested his cheek on her hair.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you." He said, as she slowly returned the embrace. He felt her shake her head then smile up at him. His returning smile wasn't as warm as hers, but it was a smile she gladly accepted. Moving to her tip-toes, she planted a light kiss on his unpainted cheek.
The blush that she had been sporting now transfered to his face and his scarlet eyes glittered, the pale hand cupping her cheek.
"I like it when you don't paint your face." Silver eyes lightened as her smile widened. She ran her cool fingers along his cheek, seeming absorbed in caressing his bare face.
He let out a chuckle and in turn, touched her right cheek. "Likewise." She smiled widely at him and squirmed in his arms and he released her with questioning eyes.
"We should go help them with breakfast." She muttered, looking down to hide her blush.
The blunette nodded. "Alright." Taking her wrist again, he led her gently back down the now fully lit yard to the dojo. He pushed the door open and tugged the silver eyed girl into the room kitchen in one swift movement.
"Take a seat, Caliban." Tati smiled from the stove, swishing some kind of toxic looking badder in a pan.
She complied, sliding into the seat she sat at the previous morning. To her surprise, Kai moved in right beside her, pulling open the book he seemed intrigued by. She turned to see the movement in the kitchen, taking in the sight of her new team.
Ray and Tala were laughing, both smothered in batter that Tati seemed to be chucking at them. Tala pulled open a cabinet under the sink and knelt behind it, using the wood as a shield. Ray jumped behind the red head, still struggling to contain his laughter. The bronze girl stuck her tongue out and walked over to the two with a bowl of fresh badder. The two teens gasped as Tati poured the gooey liquid over them, smiling wickedly.
She silver eyed girl couldn't help but smile.
This was her team. Her new life. She was finally getting a second chance and she couldn't help but feel honored for being allowed such a happy new reality instead of her hell known as the Abbey. She wasn't going back there and she made a promise to herself to never let anything happen to these teens. Watching Tala, she was glad to see how much he had changed for the better, now able to aknowledge the simple things and overlook the bad.
She blinked when something smacked into her face. Snapping out of her trance, she saw the room fall silent as faces grew grim. Even Kai looked up at her, eager for her reaction.
Lifting her hand to her cheek, she wipped the badder off her face and glanced at Kai who was failing immensly at hiding his smirk. She smirked back and his vanished when he realized her intentions.
Splattering the badder on the blunette's face, she lept up from the table to join the kneeling, badder covered teens behind the cupboard door. Kai shot up, staring at her in awe, before reaching for some badder to hurl it at her, but he missed at hit the red head who was now laughing uncontrollably.
Another smile spread on her pale face.
She felt at home here and she wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon.
