people have secrets that they never want to tell a soul. Secrets about themselves or about their past they want to keep hidden. It may sound like a good plan in the beginning, but it soon gets the best of you and you've had no choice but to talk.

**Tyson**

My name is Tyson and I'm 15 right now. My friends say that I'm overly cheerful. Well, I have a reason for doing so. I don't like talking about it, but I do it to hide the pain I'm scarred with. Anyway...

"Tyson!!" You there!?" shouted Max.

I looked up from my concentration on my beyblade. I grabbed it really quickly and shoved it into my pocket as I saw my friends walk from the corner of my house. It was Max and Kenny.

"Hey guys." I said as I walked over to them.

"You're up early for a change." laughed Kenny. I sweat-dropped.

So I have a tendency to sleep in a lot, so give me a break.

"Yeah, I've been getting up and working a bit earlier for several past weeks." I replied as I grinned.

"Really Tyson?" asked Chief, amazed.

"Wait until Kai hears about this!!" laughed Max.

"I'll see you guys out front." I said.

They nodded and left. I went in back inside of my house and into my room. I started to change out of my training clothes and into my school uniform. I suddenly winced and bit back a hiss as my shirt touched one of my scars on my back. I finished getting dressed and reminding my self to treat that later. I ran out of my room and grabbed my school bag and met with Chief and Max in the front, and then we walked towards our new school. The fall leaves were just starting to show up.

GUYS!!! HEY WAIT FOR ME!!!"

"Hey!! RAY!!!" laughed Max as he waved his hands. Ray was running behind us trying to catch up and we stopped and waited for him to catch up.

"Glad you guys let me catch up." grinned Ray.

"Yeah, where are the white tigers?" asked Chief looking around.

"They're already on their way there." replied Ray as we resumed walking towards the school. "So Tyson, whatcha been up to?" asked Ray as he slapped me on the back.



"YEOUCH!!" I hissed, biting back the pain. I suddenly dropped to my knees and dropped my school bag.

"Whoa Tyson!! Are you alright!? I'm really sorry!!" Ray shouted as he bent down.

I winced as I got up but smiled weakly.

"It's probably from this morning. I was practicing." replied I replied as I grabbed my bag.

"You sure, 'cause it looked like it really hurt." stated Max, as he frowned...

"Don't worry about it guys!!" I replied.

We continued on and made it to our new school and looked at or schedules and we noticed that we each had a certain class with each other and we all had P.E together.

"Well, Max and I have English first." said I said.

"Well, see you guys later. I got Biology first." replied Chief.

"See you!! I got to get to Geometry." replied Ray.

So we each went out separate ways, for a while at least, until we saw each other later at Lunch and gym. We found an empty spot under some trees and started eating.


**Ray**

I was eating in silence as I was still thinking about this morning. Why did Tyson's back hurt so much when I gave a friendly hit on the back. This troubled me.

"OVER HERE MARIAH!! RAY'S RIGHT HERE!!" shouted Tyson.

"What the!?" I shouted as I looked up and around for Mariah, I don't know if the others know this, but I have a crush on her. As I was looking around for her, I spotted Tyson sniggering from behind his hand I found out why. They had tricked me.

"Very funny Tyson." I said as I still had that blush on my face.

"Well, you weren't paying any attention to us, and we HAD to get you to get out of dreamland." Replied Max as he chomped on his sandwich.

"So, what were you thinking about?" asked Chief.

"Well, it was about this morning. I'm still wondering why Tyson's back hurt so much." I replied as I looked over in Tyson's direction.

"I already told you Ray, it was my morning training. It was harder than usual." Tyson replied. I stared at him. He looked like he was telling the truth, but in his eyes, it looked like he was hiding something that he didn't want to tell us. I guess I should leave it at that, but I'm not going to give up on what's bothering Tyson. He IS one of my great friends.

"Okay, Tyson." I replied as I continued eating. Max looked around a bit and then smiled.

"Hiya Mariah!!" I snorted.

"If you think, I'm going to fall for that stupid trick again, you got another thing coming." I replied.

"But Ray, Mariah really IS behind you!!!" replied Tyson. I stared at him.

"I told you guys already, I'M NOT GOING TO FALL FOR THAT TRICK AGA…" I started to shout, but a voice behind me stopped me.

"What trick Ray?" Mariah asked behind me. I turned around and blushed heavily. For two reasons, ONE I was REALLY embarrassed, because the other white tigers were with her and TWO it's something that happens when your crush comes.

"Eeeep." I muttered out. I heard laughing and saw Tyson and Max. Chief was trying to suppress it. Lee, Kevin and Gary were trying not to laugh also.

"WE TOLD YOU SO!!!" laughed Max and Tyson, but I threw the remains of my salad at the two of them.

"So, what were they talking about Ray?" asked Mariah. I blushed rosy red this time.

"Umm…err…they…tricked me earlier saying that it was you, when I wasn't paying any attention to them.



"Really? What were you thinking about Ray?" asked Mariah now interested.


"It's nothing." I replied, as I sweated.

We left the conversation at that, but Max and Tyson were still laughing on some of the parts still and I managed to throw one of my books at their heads. That got them to be quiet for a while.


****Max***


I stopped laughing about Ray's situation, as soon as he threw his history book at Tyson and me.

I rubbed the back of my head as I left the school building. It was getting chilly and I was walking by my self. The reason being is because, Tyson had to go home and do his kendo lessons, Chief had to go because he wanted to finish up his homework and work some things out with Dizzy one Beyblades, and Ray was walking home with Mariah. Before he left though, Tyson made a funny comment and made a run for it before Ray threw his entire bag at him.

The leaves were still falling and it was getting a little colder. I pulled my jacket closer to myself, and rounded the corner. As I turned, I heard some yelling and shouting. I looked around but didn't see anybody there, but I sure heard yelling. I followed the voice around the corner and then I heard the screaming getting louder. Getting really worried, I made my way though the forage of trees and then saw that three men in black suits were picking on a girl with some regular clothes and what looked like an old cloak. I couldn't believe that three men were picking on one girl.


I couldn't believe the odds against her. She looked strong, I could tell, but she also looked very sick and has been running for the last couple of days or hours without and rest and on top of that, some guys were just picking on her, for no apparent reason. My blood started to boil. I kept thinking about that girl until I couldn't hold in my anger any longer.

"LET HER GO NOW YOU STINKIN' FREAKS!!" I shouted. I threw my book bag as hard as I could and nailed one guy on the head. Surprisingly, it was strong enough to knock him out.

'Maybe it's because I have my History, Math and Science book in there.' I thought.

But anyway, I stared at the guys who looked like they were angry in being interrupted and then they started to walk towards me, I was sort of nervous, but once I remembered that girl, I frowned and got into a fighting position. Suddenly they stopped and I stared. They pulled out something and it hit the reflection of the sun. I gasped.

'A Gun.'

They pointed it at me and then they fired. I was petrified and I couldn't even move, until something crashed into me and the bullets missed me and what ever had crashed into me.

I shook my head at first and then I felt a smaller frame leaning on me. I opened my eyes, only to see, the most beautiful violet eyes ever. I didn't get a good look before, when I first arrived, but I saw that she had dark blue bangs and light blue hair flowing behind her with red highlights. She was obliviously tired from running from behind the men and then trying to save me.

"Are…you…*pant* alright?" she asked.

"Ummm…yeah…Thanks a lot." I replied. She nodded and then she fainted right there on the spot.

"Hey!! Hey!!! Miss!! Wake up!! C'mon!!" I shouted, trying to revive her. I was so busy trying to get the girl to wake up again, that I didn't noticed that the men were getting their guns out again and were aiming it at us.

"BANG!!!!"

I was still trying to revive her when I heard the sound and watched, it was like it was all in slow motion. Then something amazing happened. I don't know how, but some how, a bright light shot out into the sky, creating a distraction to the guys, so I picked up the girl and hid her behind some trees and as soon I was sure that she was safe, I tried my dumb luck and ran towards the men and tackled one of them and got the gun out of the guy's hand.

I was soon later thrown off and a quick shot just got me in the arm barely, but it still hurt. They pointed one more time and then fired. I couldn't think and raised my arms in front of my face and waited. I closed my eyes and I didn't feel anything. I slowly opened my eyes and I couldn't believe who was protecting me.

"Dracial?"

It LOOKED like Dracial, but it also looked like a kid my age. His bright red hair blowing in the wind, his cold blue eyes staring and his fists clenched in front of him. He had on a green turtleneck and jeans. He opened his hands, the out fell the bullets.

"What are you!?" shouted one of the guys scared. Dracial growled.

"That is none of your business, but if must know, I'm Dracial."

"But…but that's a bit beast!! You can't be out without a beyblade!?" added another guy.

"THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT US AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO GO AND TELL YOU PEOPLE!!! NOW GO!!!" shouted Dracial. The guys were scared stiff and ran off. He turned to me and I stood up.

"Is it really you Dracial?" I asked. He nodded and smiled.

"But for now, just call me Tasuke." He replied. "I can't go around her calling myself a bit-beast name."

"Okay, can you help me get this girl home with me?" I asked. Tasuke nodded. I suddenly winced as I remembered that wound I had. I ignored it for now and picked up the fainted girl and walked home with Dracial I mean Tasuke. As we walked home, I learned some interesting things about Dracial. He's been inside that locket I had when I was battling Kai for nearly fifty years. I was surprised, because I thought it was longer.

"Dad!! Help me get a guest room and first aid kit!!" I shouted as both Tasuke and I got into the hobby shop. My dad came running down the stairs, wondering why I was yelling. As soon as he saw the wound on my arm, Tasuke and the girl in my arms, he didn't ask and questions. I carried the girl up into the bedroom and removed he cloak. I checked her forehead with my good arm and she had a slight fever. I covered her up to make her sweat, which should reduce the fever. Dad came back up with Tasuke and wrapped my arm up.

"Tasuke has the first aid kit Max." he said.

"Uh huh." Was all I replied . For some reason, I just couldn't stop staring at the face lying in the guest room.

"Hey Max, do you have a crush on her." Tasuke asked grinning.

"Yeah, sure."

Then I suddenly recalled the question.

"TASUKE!!!" I shouted and Tasuke was laughing his head off at that.

'Now I know how Ray feels.' I thought to myself. The girl moaned and opened her eyes and turned her head towards us.

"Who…are…you...people?" she asked weakly.

"You know you shouldn't talk after what the both of us went though." I replied smiling. She stared at me and a little red started to reappear on her face. I got worried.

"Hey, are you alright? Your face is turning red."

"It's…okay. I'm sorry to burden you with me." She replied. I shook my head,

"Don't worry about it. I'm happy that I could help. But what's you're name and why were those men after you?" I asked,

"My name is Kyaro, but my brother gave me a nickname, but I don't let anyone call me that except for him." she replied.

"I'm curious, you don't have to tell me, but what is your nickname?" I asked.

"I guess I can tell you, he calls me Hikari, because I'm always on the bright side and I'm usually happy. The reason those men were after me, were because I carry…" Kyaro started my Tasuke interrupted her.

The ancient Bit-beast? Spark Knight and Saizo?" he said. Both of us looked at him in shock.

"You have bit-beasts?"

"They look human, one's a knight and the other one's a ninja. But yeah, they're one of the strongest bit-beasts because they're almost human like and they were supposedly forgotten. But my uncle did know that and he knew I had them. So I was taken away from him thanks to my mother but my twin brother got left behind, because my uncle got to him first." Kyaro replied.

"So do you know you your brother is?" I asked. Kyaro shook her head.

"I'm looking for him right now and I can't seem to recall him for some reason." She replied.

"Don't worry, I'll try and take care of you and I can introduce you to my friends!!" I replied grinning. She then looked a lot happier.

"Really Max!! But, can you get a disguise for me, like a wig?" Kyaro asked.

"We can look for one. Don't worry, Tasuke and I will do everything we can to help you and maybe our friends too!!"

"Thanks a lot Max. This means a lot to me." Kyaro replied and she hugged me. I blushed heavily, but hugged her back.

'And maybe I can sort out these new feelings.'
