Chapter 10: Day 1

Lirin groaned as the annoying clacking of a keyboard pulled her from her sleep. At first she thought that she was back in Houtou Castle trapped in the labs. Fear made her breathing go ragged.

"You can calm down girl, I will not hurt you."

Cautiously she turned her head to see the person who spoke to her. Her green eyes looked on his goggled covered ones trying to figure out who he was.

"It's nice of you to have finally woken up." he commented after glancing at the clock. It was late morning meaning all the 'kids' were well into their training schedules. "How are you feeling?"

"Um…okay I guess." Lirin replied in a timid voice. "But, um, do you mind if I ask who you are? Or even where we are?"

Boris grinned at the girl. "I am Boris Balkov owner of the Balkov Abbey Beyblade Training Facility."

"Oh. Is this place in Japan?"

"I'm afraid not my dear. We are actually in Russia, quite a distance from Japan. Why do you ask?"

Lirin looked away as a small blush formed across her cheeks. "I'm looking for a friend. He somehow ended up in Japan after an accident."

"I see." Boris smirked to himself. "Would you like me to help you get to Japan and find your friend?"

Lirin's face brightened with new hope. "You could really do that?"

"Of course I can, child. But I will ask that you help us with a few things."

"Of course, I'll do anything I can."

"That is just what I wanted to hear. So after lunch I will introduce you to your teammates. But before that I must request you go to see our doctors for an exam. I would feel horrible if something were to happen to you."

'Great more tests and shit. Goku I'm scared but I guess I have to do it to find you.' Lirin thought as an involuntary shudder ran down her spine.

"Is something wrong dear?" Boris asked noticing her discomfort.

"Um, no. Ah, which way is it to the labs?"

Boris put his papers down and stood up. "Come with me and I'll take you there myself."

"Okay." Lirin finally got off the couch she had slept on to follow Boris down the long and winding hallways.

After searching around for a couple hours last night, they had finally come across a rundown place to crash for the night. Although it was definitely a place not even a demon would be caught dead in. The ceilings were water damaged from previous rain storms. The carpets were worn down and revealing the cement floor in some areas. The curtains barely hung on the rods, providing any were there. And the bathrooms seemed to have been converted into a bug hotel, or at least it seemed with all the roaches they discovered in there.

Sanzo hissed as the sunlight hit him. This new journey was not starting out well and the priest was already blaming the baka sura for it.

"Sanzo are you awake yet?" Hakkai's voice asked after a quiet knock.

"Yeah now go away." came the bitter reply. "And get that damn kappa up. I want to get the hell out of this place as soon as possible."

"Yes sir." Hakkai gave a salute to the door and walked back to his and Gojyo's room.

"Oh Gojyo, it's time to get up. Sanzo wants to leave this dump."

The half demon groaned and rolled over on the lumpy mattress.

"Now, now Gojyo it won't do any good to make Sanzo wait. He seems to be in an awfully bad mood already."

"Got that right." the priest said standing in the doorway. His gun pointed at the sleeping kappa's back. "Now get the hell up ya damn fairy."

Gojyo jumped out of the bed when he heard a gun shot go off and a bullet wiz by his head. "What the hell man, I was sleeping here."

Sanzo was pretending to clean his ear with his finger. "I noticed. But it's time to get the hell out of this hellhole. And the sooner we can find that baka the sooner we can return home. Now get ready."

After lunch Boris had summoned the Demolition Boys to his office. Lirin was standing next to his desk with her new Biovolt uniform on when the boys filed in.

"Sir, how can we serve you?" Tala asked when they all stood in front of the large desk.

"Boys I would like to introduce you to your new teammate. Her name is Lirin and she has no blading experience so I need you to train her well."

"But sir if she has no experience wouldn't it be better for her and us if she's enrolled in the training school? She'll only hold us back if we have to train her and do our regular training too."

"Hold your tongue Tala. I understand your concerns, but after some extensive testing, it was discovered that she has a high level of power that once focused will aid your team. That is why I am placing her in your group. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir."

"Good, now go back to your assigned training for the afternoon. Lirin please go with them and try not to get in the way."

Lirin nodded while the boys saluted their master. Boris nodded his head dismissing the group from his office.

"So you have some strong power?" Ian asked as he walked next to Lirin.

"I guess, but I'm not really sure."

"Do you at least have a bit beast?"

"No. But Boris said that once I'm trained enough he'll give me one."

"It's Master Boris." Tala snapped at her. "Never disrespect our master again. It can and will get you a nights worth of punishment."

"Oh." After that the group continued to walk in to the 4th training room in silence. Lirin debating wither she made the right move joining these guys or not.

Evening was falling over Beycity when Sanzo and the others finally met up again. After shopping and eating breakfast they decided to search separately for the monkey and meet up in the park when the sun set.

"Any luck?" the priest asked as he lit a smoke.

"Nothing where I looked. But I did see a bunch of little brats playing with these spinning tops. It looked really stupid." Gojyo reported.

"I'm afraid that my search wasn't much different."

"So it would seem this mission is going to take longer then we thought. I really want to kill that sura when we find him." Sanzo puffed on his last little bit of the stick. "Let's find a place for the night and start anew tomorrow. And if we still come up empty handed then you two will get jobs."

"Hey what about yourself ya damn priest?" Gojyo demanded grabbing his shirt collar.

"I'll keep looking for the brat on my own. But who knows if that woman will randomly cut the funds to our card off just for her own amusement. If that happens I'd prefer not to be stranded with nothing if you know what I mean."

Gojyo released his grip. "Alright, now where are we staying and please don't say that dump from last night?"

"As if I'd ever set foot back there. I was smart enough to find us an apartment for rent. It had three bedrooms, a kitchen set up and a full bath. On top of that the place was seemingly spotless. But if you want your more then welcome to go back to the place from last night." Sanzo explained and started to walk out of the park. Hakkai and Gojyo were quick to follow him.

Lirin sighed as her tired body collided with her bed. Ever since leaving Boris's office she was forced to keep up with the D-Boys and their training. At first it seemed easy enough, but then they started practicing with their beyblades. That is where she fell behind. Her releases were weak and constantly short of reaching the dish. After an hour of miss fires Tala had Bryan take her to the side and teach her how to properly do it. After that she had to continue with same move over and over again.

"I wish Goku were here. He'd help me." Lirin cried into her pillow as sleep took over her body.

"Kenny never called us today." Rei commented as he sat on his bed. Kai was across the room on his own bed reading a book.

"Knowing him and Mr. B they've found something interesting with the blade and want to solve that mystery before dragging us all the way over there."

"You're probably right." Rei yawned and curled up under the sheets. "Well good night Kai."

"Night, Rei."

Lirin: well thats all. please review guys.
