Two chapters in one day (possibly three if my computer keeps cooperating) !! Ok yes fine I'm sucking up...But i really am sorry I kept you guys waiting so long /cries/

Kaia: Oh for the Lifestreams sake dont start this again. /sigh/ Well seeing as how she is in no condition to continue, due to her breakdown...which quite possibly could be another tool to suck up, I will be taking over. (Mentally laughing maniacly) Either way,

Disclaimer: Neither Audra, nor I, own Beyblade or anything associated with it. Hell we dont even own eachother...and I live in her head...how very strange how this world works.

"Where did that come from?" Kate asked when the four girls met outside the rooms.

"Someone sent it to her, she doesn't know who." Sky replied for Kaia who was having trouble with the gloves. "Just let me tie them for you."

"I'm telling you, I've got it." Kaia said.

"And I'm telling you, you don't." Kaia gave up and let Sky tighten the gloves.

"Hey guys I have an idea." Claire said. "Let's race to the dance!"

"Okay!" Kaia said. "But we're taking the long way." That said she sprinted off in the opposite direction her scarf dancing out behind her in the breeze.

"Hey that's not fair." The others darted after her.

"They can't beat me and they know it." Kaia said to herself as she came around a corner. She looked ahead of her and came to a sudden stop. Kate, who had been in second, skittered to a halt only to be run into and knocked over by Sky and Claire. The three girls grumbled numerous complaints before looking up at their seemingly frozen team captain.

Kaia's eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly agape as she stared at the red haired boy in front of her. He turned to see the cause of the commotion and his icy blue eyes met hers.

"Um Kaia, do you know him?" Sky asked, pushing the other two off her and standing back up.

"Nice to see you again Kaia." Tala said nonchalantly. Kaia found she could scarcely breath when he spoke.

It was really him. After waiting for almost 7 year to see him here he was where she least expected him to be. He hadn't changed much. Still styling his hair the way he always had, his icy blue eyes now reflecting his emotions.

"How did you-," She whispered.

"Oh my god, Kaia is that you?" The girl next to him asked her eyes full of excitement.

Kaia ignored her, her own eyes still on Tala as he took a few steps towards her. "What's wrong? You act like you haven't seen me in 3 years." Tala asked smiling.

"It's been 7." Kaia said, trying to keep the amazement from her voice.

Tala's brow furrowed. "Has it really been that long?" Kaia nodded. "Oops."

"Smooth one." Kai said from the doorway, right next to Teri who jumped a little before jumping on him.

"I should have contacted you. I really should have." Tala ran a hand through his hair.

"No big deal. The captains from two rival Russian teams shouldn't been seen conversing anyways." Kaia smiled back at him.

"Holy shit." Ray muttered. "Jeeze Kai, if you look anything like that when you smile you should do it more often. You'd have more fangirls."

"The last thing I need 'kitty' is more fangirls." Kai shot back glaring at Teri who had her arms around his neck as she watched her brother and Kaia.

"Don't call me that. Tala only get's away with it because…" Ray paused and turned to Tyson. "Why do I let Tala get away with it?"

"Because he can kick your ass in beyblading and hand to hand combat." Tyson suggested.

"Who is he?" Claire whispered to Kate. From where all three of them were standing in a clump behind their captain.

"Whoever he is, he certainly is good looking." Kate said.

"Be quiet you two." Sky snapped though she nodded vigorously at Kate's comment.

"Rival Russian teams?" Tala asked, lifting an eyebrow. "The only rivals we have are Kiken."

"We are Kiken." Kaia told him.

"You're kidding me right?" Tala asked, looking like he was trying not to laugh. "The Kiken is an all girl team? That rivals the Blitzstreak Boys?" He failed to hold it in and started laughing.

"Sexist!" All four girls snapped at the same time, causing the red haired boy to step back in surprise.

Tala held up his hands defensively. "Sorry. I didn't know."

"My aren't we touchy tonight."

Kaia shot a glare at Hiro who had walked up and was leaning against the wall. "We hardly need your input."

"Just saying." Kaia narrowed her eyes threateningly at him before turning back to Tala who was looking between them.

"You and Hiro know each other?"

"He was my trainer/captain/coach whatever for almost 3 years." Kaia said grimly. "He then left us to fend for ourselves."

"Hiro!" The other three-team members smiled at their previous coach and then began whispering amongst themselves.

"Did I mention those three are completely obsessed with him?" Kaia muttered under her breath, jerking her head back at her teammates.

Hiro sighed and pushed off the wall, walking towards the young girl who was glaring daggers at him. "Kaia we've been through this already. I had to leave to come back to my home."

"If I remember correctly, you didn't show up back in Japan until 2 years after you left." Kaia retorted.

"I had to check up on some of my other trainees." Hiro said calmly.

"Come on Kaia, let it go." Claire said quietly, pulling gently on Kaia's arm.

"I'll see you around Hiro." Kaia said stiffly, pulling away from Claire and turning and walking off back the way she came.

"Kaia!" Sky called after her. She didn't stop.

"Kaia, come on. What about the dance?" Claire said.

"Let her go." Kate said laying a hand on both girls' shoulders. "I'll go talk to her. You two go on ahead." That said Kate followed after the young female Captain.

"Would someone tell me what just happened?" Tyson asked.

"Hiro, would you care to enlighten us?" Ray asked.

Kai and Tala were both staring at Hiro with the same expressions on their faces (death glares more or less for causing Kaia's discomfort) while Teri looked at all of them. Very confused.

Kate found Kaia leaning against the railing gazing out at the setting sun. She walked up beside the double blue haired girl and looked out over the ocean. They were quiet for a moment before Kate spoke.

"What's the real reason you are so mad at him?" Kate asked.

"What do you mean?" Kaia replied quietly.

"You can't be mad at someone just for walking off. And you could have gone after him. Called him, kept in touch. But you didn't." Kate said easily.

"What are you getting at?" Kaia inquired, her eyes still skywards.

"There's something that you aren't telling us. Something happened between you and Hiro, something that changed both of you. You never talk about him. And when you do, I can see the pain and hurt in your eyes. What is the real reason you're still upset after all these years." Kate pressed gently, laying a hand on Kaia's shoulder and squeezing.

"I guess, it's just that, I never stopped loving him."

Viola! Be lucky she loves you all enough to update the next chapter today, I would have personally left you with the cliffhanger Mwahahahaha!

Audra: Kaia what are you doing.

Kaia: /Muttering/ Shit. R&R People. /Louder to Audra/ Nothing at all Master

Audra: Your terorizing the readers again arent you!

Kaia: Not a word people. /Runs/
