"Ah," shouted Kenny.
"What's the matter," asked Ian.
"We're suppose to be on the airplane to England," shouted Kenny.
"Oh my gosh," shouted Ming Ming.
"The tournament," shouted Hilary.
"What's wrong," asked Itachi.
"We have a tournament over in England. We definitely need to go and reclaim our title," said Max.
"We're definitely going to swipe that title off your hands," said Bryan.
"Why don't we go now? I really wanted to watch you guys in action," said Temari.
"And we get to see the pros do their jobs on beyblading," said Lee.
The bladers and the Konoha Nins were starting to pack their belongings. Jiraiya looked tempted to stay behind, but one threat from Tsunade can go so much. Everyone was packed and ready to go to England for the tournament. Kenny, Emily, and Hiro all called a Mr. Dickinson and told him that they were on their way with a lot of people. Temari and Ray told them who Mr. Dickinson was and was fine to know that he was the sponsor for Tyson's team. Everyone got into the huge van with their stuff and drove towards the airport. "This is going to be great," shouted Daichi, "And I'll defeat Tyson!"
"Not likely if you have air sickness again," said Tyson as he laughed at Daichi.
"Tyson," shouted Daichi as Tyson and Daichi ran out of the van and into the airport.
"There they go again," said Mariah.
"This happens often," asked Iruka.
"More than often," said Brooklyn.
Everyone went to the checking point of their airport and into the gates. They went through countless of explanations that these are to protect if necessary because you never know what could happen on an airplane. The guards smiled and nodded their consent as they let them go through the gate. Unbeknownst to everyone, there were two shadows following them and sitting near them on the airplane. "I never been on an airplane before," said Hinata.
"Too bad Akamaru couldn't come with us into the airplane," said Kiba.
'Kyu, how are you holding out,' asked Tyson.
"Better than expected. I wish I can smell the air again," said Kyuubi.
You can always go into the beyblade and become a bit beast, said Dragoon.
'She can,' asked Tyson.
Sure! She can stay as long as she likes, said Dragoon.
"I'm guessing that you want me to stay then," said Kyuubi.
While Tyson, Dragoon, and Kyuubi were talking, Gaara was talking to Shukaku. He wanted Tyson to himself, but was scared what people might think. Everyone was so uptight. Temari saw her brother contemplating, and probably about Naru… no, Tyson. She saw how he changed when they were in Sand Village. It was weird to see him so silent. She saw Sakura turned a bit green when they were in the air. This will be a long trip, thought Temari.
- 2 hours later (don't know how long from Japan to England) -
"Finally! Ground," shouted Sakura as she stumbled into the airport lobby with Hinata, Ino, and TenTen.
"Air sickness," asked Spencer.
"Yes," said the four girls.
"Ah! Daichi, you're a ghost again," shouted Hilary.
"Sorry," mumbled Daichi as he swayed back and forth.
"Still not use to the airplanes," said Tala.
"Yes," said Daichi.
Everyone was feeling a little bit weak in the knees as they all got out of the airport. A lot of photographers were there to greet them. Daichi perked up when they all ran towards the group. The ninjas were surprise to see them running towards Tyson, Ray, Max, Kenny, and Kai since they were the ones who had a knack at beyblading. They asked Tyson a lot of questions and got their answers. Shock was an understatement. They never saw so many reporters out there in their life. "Tyson, what was that all about," asked Ibiki.
"Being a three year world champ of beyblading has its perks," said Tyson as he laughed.
"But this much for you, dobe," asked Sasuke.
"Hey! Stop calling me that, teme," said Tyson.
"blink blink A quarrel between lovers," asked one of the reporters.
"wide eyes No way! I'm not in love with him," said Tyson.
"I believe that that was not the way to say anything to my brother," said Hiro.
The rest of the bladers were looking at Tyson with wide eyes. Never before would the reporters would ask about someone's love life, especially Tyson's. It was weird in a way, as the rest of the bladers wondered who Tyson like, well, love in a way. They walked towards the exit of the airport to see a limo waiting for them. Everyone got in and was surprise to have a lot of room with such a large number of people. They looked out to see Big Ben and many other sites. Sakura took out her camera and started to take pictures. Everyone ignored her as they silently rode towards the hotel room. Wait till Mr. Dickinson sees these people, thought the bladers.
- At Sanderson Hotel -
"Hello young ones," said Mr. Dickinson as he saw the bladers.
"Hey Mr. D," said Max.
"Look at who Tyson brought with him," said Ray as he motioned for the ninjas to appear.
Mr. Dickinson was shock to see so many people come out of the limo. He wondered how they all fight in such a tight spot. When he saw the extra people, he was shock to say the least. He thought that they would have a smaller crowd waiting at the airport. "These are my friends: Neji, Lee, TenTen, Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Kurenai, Baki, Ibiki, Anko, Iruka, Kakashi, Chouji, Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Asuma, Shino, Itachi, Ino, Genma, and Gai," said Tyson.
"Pleasure to meet all of you," said Mr. Dickinson.
"Where are our rooms," asked Li.
"You all have the top floor of the hotel rooms rented out by me," said Mr. Dickinson, "Unfortunately, you all have to room in with five people at the most."
"I'll be with Mariah, Mariam, Mathilda, and TenTen," said Temari.
"I'll be with Hinata, Ming Ming, Salima, and Julia," said Sakura.
"I'll be with Emily, Ino, Kurenai, and Anko," said Hilary.
"And I get to choose for the guys," shouted Temari.
It was decided that the five groupings would be like this: Tyson with Sasuke, Kai, Gaara, and Shikamaru, Neji with Itachi, Tala, Max, and Ray, Spencer with Bryan, Kenny, Garland, and Mystel, and so on and so forth. Everyone agreed to the rooming as they took the elevator to the last floor of the building. Jiraiya pouted when he was rooming with people who weren't girls. The girls glared and started to hit him over the head for the comment. Jiraiya was going to stay with Iruka, Kakashi, Tsunade, and Ibiki. Tsunade was there to keep Jiraiya controlled. They sigh as each one of them went into the rooms they wanted. "After unpacking, we are going to train," said a glaring Kai as he went into his hotel room.
"Gah! Kai," shouted Tyson.
"Kai will be Kai," said Ray.
"Yup," said Max.
"Why is he so uptight," asked Temari.
"Don't know," lied the bladers as they went into their rooms.
"Weird," said TenTen.
"They were lying," said Genma.
"Why would they," asked Asuma.
"A painful past perhaps," said Shikamaru.
- Twenty Minutes later -
"Damn it Kai! Stop being a workaholic," said Max.
"Hn. We need to get in shape," said Kai.
All the bladers were in the practice room, practicing for the next tournament. Everyone wanted to win this year, but it was hard since Tyson was bragging about something new. He wouldn't tell them what it was. When Max and the girls asked with their puppy dog eyes, Tyson didn't cave in. Everyone was sweating a lot as they practiced to win for the tournament. That's how the ninjas found everyone. They were shock at how the state of the practice room was. "What happened here," asked Tsuande.
"Looks like a hurricane came through," said Kankuro.
"Really," asked the bladers.
"Never noticed it," asked Gaara.
"Yup. We're so into trying to best the other, that we forget we have power to destroy things," said a sheepish Alan.
"And Tyson won't show us what he has hidden," said a pouting Julia.
"Not for you guys to know yet," said a smirking Tyson.
"Please," asked everyone.
"Nope," said Tyson.
"Crank up some music here," shouted Raoul, "And leave Tyson alone!"
"Fine," said Ming Ming as she put one of her favorite songs on.
Why do you spend all your time
Watching life pass you by;
Hanging on to your pride
All that you can anticipate
Hoping all your mistakes will somehow fade away
What are you to do with this
It's either hit or miss

Come on, give your heart away
I know you hurt inside;
I know the reason why
Don't wait a moment;

Why the hesitation;
You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking;
Can you hear me

Letting go uneasy ways

Letting go all your lies;
All the pain will subside

And the risk is so worth taking;
Can you hear me

Unbeknownst to everyone, a shadow was sneaking around to record their battles. The other two shadows that followed them met with their accomplice and were pleased that no one knows them. "When are we going to get our revenge," whispered one shadow.
"Not yet Kisame," whispered another.
"You have to be patient," said the other.
"Shut up Dr. K. You did even help us last time," said Kisame.
"Will both of you shut up," hissed the one with the camcorder.
"Sorry Dr. B," whispered the two.
Soon we will have our revenge, thought the three as they snuck away.
AN: Hey! Finally, the shadows are revealed. All right, the boy who is going to be paired up with Tyson is narrowed down by four people: Kai, Sasuke, Gaara, and Shikamaru. Vote on which one will get Tyson! Who will get Neji, Itachi, and Tala? Suggestions for the rest of the bladers that aren't paired yet are opened freely! Thank you!
