**************************************************************************** ********* I don't own Beyblades and never will, so it's pointless to try and sue me!!! Okay, here's the thing, I was going to re-do the American tournament, But I decided since I better wait until those episodes are done, that I'm starting in Europe. So, that's about it and enjoy the fic!! **************************************************************** *********************

***Tyson***

As I entered my house, I went directly to my room and closed the door quietly. I didn't see my grandpa anywhere and so I sighed in relief. I bent down and dug around under my bed for a while and found my first aid kit. I took off my shirt and then I opened the kit. I took off the bandages I had wrapped around me already and then I unrolled the new ones. I couldn't seem to get it right. I looked at my beyblade and said,

"Drake, can you come out and help me with these bandages?" I asked. The beyblade glowed a bright turquoise, and then something shot out of it and then landed right in front of me. I wasn't surprised. It was dragoon. He looked to be three years older than I am right now, and his hair is a light blue and his eyes are emotionless amber. He always wears the same thing whenever he comes out, and that would be a sleeveless green shirt and white pants. He walked over to me and sat right behind me.

"Tyson, are you sure you shouldn't tell the others about this. I mean this IS really serious." Drake said as he wrapped the bandages around my torso. I shook my head.

"I don't want to burden anyone with these, Drake." I replied. Drake just sighed then.

"I'm just glad that that torture is all over with now." Drake muttered. He thought I couldn't hear him, but I heard him loud and clear. I turned around as soon as he finished wrapping the bandages and I stared at him. He blinked confused.

"I'm just glad you came when you did, otherwise I would have been in big trouble."

"I know what you mean, Tyson. I know what you mean." Was all what Drake said. I smiled as I stood up and got into my training clothes. Drake smiled back and said,

"Shall we work some more on those attacks?"

I nodded and Drake returned back to the beyblade and I picked it up and ran out of my room. I ran down the stairs and into the training area, my grandfather had setup there. I looked around for the tree we always practiced by, and saw it by the wall.

"Okay Dragoon!!! Here we go!!" I grinned as I launched him. It went pretty well so far, and he was maintaining his balance. This was the perfect time to see if he could be able to master those skills I thought of.

The backdoor was quietly opened as I was training. I didn't see my grandfather's eyes as saw me go and practice in the after noon with my beyblade.

"Tyson, I hope you know what you're doing." He said and then he shut the door and let me practice in silence.

***Kai***

I was just walking home and had entered my grandfather's mansion. It was quiet, strangely, because I usually hear the maids running up and down the halls trying to get everything perfect.

'Weaklings.' I thought.

As I made my way towards the hallways, I was suddenly pushed into the wall.

I growled and glared at whom or whoever had pushed me. As I saw the men, I snorted.

'Just grandfather's sorry excuse of men.'

They headed for grandfather's private room and knocked. I didn't notice, but they looked rather beaten up and frightened. I raised an eyebrow. It took a lot to scare THOSE men, even for me sometimes. So curiosity got the better of me and I followed them. I suddenly thought I was acting like Tyson. I shudder at THAT thought, being all happy and perky as he is, is just plain freaky for me.

I followed the men to grandfather's room and then I leaned against the wall and listened to the conversation.

"YOU IDIOTS!!! HOW THE HELL COULD YOU LOSE TO A SIMPLE LITTLE BRAT!!!"

"It's wasn't just the brat sir, there was another one, that took us by surprise. He threw his bag at us and knocked one of us out, and then he and the girl defended one another!!!" shouted one of the men.

"Really now. Who's the kid that managed to do THAT one?"

"He was about your grandson's age, with blond hair, and blue eyes, and had the uniform of one of the nearby private high schools." He replied.

My eyes widen. That description had fit Max perfectly. But why would he want to defend some he hardly ever knew, and WHY was grandfather trying to get just one kid? Or was it even Max? I thought I had heard enough and left. If I had stayed a little longer, I would've heard the last bit of the conversation.

"And don't let Kai hear or even SEE anything about this incident. We DON'T want him to remember."

"Yes Sir."

***Max***

I woke up the next day with something dark over my head. I could feel the sunrays, but there wasn't any heat on my face. Until I opened my eyes and met with a pair of violet ones. They blinked at me in a kind of a cute way, but I was still pretty freaked out and shouted.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

That threw Kyaro onto the floor and onto her bottom. I stared at her.

"Sorry 'bout that Max," she grinned. I noticed that she was somewhat different. Instead of the clothes she had on yesterday, she had on a sleeveless blue shirt, brown knee shorts and a green jacket on. Dad must've given her a wig because instead of her usual blue hair with red highlights, she had green hair with blue highlights on and it was in a braid.

I got out of bed and helped her off the floor.

"So, why did you wake me up? It's a Saturday and I wanted to sleep in!!!" I whined. Kyaro just giggled.

"Be~cauuseee, your dad wanted to tell you that a man name Mr. Dickinson is here and he brought over some other people with him." Replied Kyaro.

"Ummm, would you mind telling me what they looked like?" I asked, having a feeling that I already knew who they were.

"I couldn't get a peek, your dad didn't want me to see them yet and told me to get you out of bed." Kyaro replied a little confused.

"Alright, I'll see you and the others downstairs alright?" I said grinning.

"Kay!!! I'll make you your breakfast?" Kyaro replied running down the stairs and shutting the door behind her.

I laughed slightly at her antics and got dressed. I put on a navy blue shirt and beige shorts and an orange jacket. I walked down the stairs and saw the other Blade Breakers.

"Hey guys, what're you doin' here?" I asked as I sat down next to Tyson. Ray shrugged.

"All we know is that Mr. Dickinson called us here to your place so that he can have a talk with the whole group."

"I see." I replied and was even surprised to see Kai here. I was about to say something when something crashed from the kitchen. My dad and Mr. Dickinson were in the basement discussing something. We all heard the crash and just sat there listening.

"GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW YOU TWO!! WHENEVER YOU GUYS ARE IN THE KITCHEN WITH ME, YOU ALWAYS MANAGE TO.AIEEEEE!!! DON'T TOUCH THAT!!! PUT IT DOWN RIGHT.I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE THAT!!"

CRASH!!!!!

We all winced when we heard the giant crash and everyone was staring at me, and I was sweating really heavily. I just laughed nervously. Suddenly, we saw two things go flying out of the kitchen and into the stairs, but we didn't hear them hit the stairs, but someone else.

*SMACK!!!* "OY!!! WHO'S THE WISE GUY THAT THREW THESE AT ME!?" hollered a voice from the stairs as Tasuke came grumbling down, rubbing his head and glaring at the things in his hands.

We saw him, and he saw us. He sweated.

"Eheheheh, hiya Max." he said.

"Oh boy. Great timing Tasuke." I muttered.

"Max, are there people you want to introduce us to?" asked Tyson as he stared at me.

"Uhhh, you see." I started. HOW in the world am I going to tell them that Tasuke is actually my Bit-Beast and how am I going to explain Kyaro.

"I'm his cousin from out of town visiting him for a while. My parents sent me here, since they're on a trip right now and they didn't want me in danger, so they brought me over here to stay with Max." replied Tasuke easily. I stared.

'I'm guessing that he and Kyaro thought up something like this.'

"That's not what I think." Stated Dizzi. Tasuke glared at the little laptop.

::Wanna try that again DIZZARA, or do you not want help getting a body if you blow my cover:: Tasuke muttered to Dizzi.

"Fine." Was all she said. Kenny looked at her strangely. "What was THAT all about Dizzi?"

"Don't worry about it Chief." She replied sighing. We just got more confused by the moment with Tasuke and Dizzi.

We just sat there, waiting for Mr. Dickinson and my father to return. Tasuke had nervously glanced around and decided to just head into the kitchen.

Suddenly Kyaro poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at me.

"Hey Max!! You better hurry and get your breakfast before Tasuke eats it all.HEY!!! THAT WAS MAX'S!!!!" Shouted Kyaro and then we heard a loud *CLANG!!!!* and some moaning.

"Okay!! Hold him down and I'm coming!!" I shouted as I hurriedly made my way to the kitchen, before Tasuke ate my breakfast. I turned around and just remember,

"Are you guys hungry, there's plenty of food." I said.

"Really, I guess I should. I really didn't get a chance to eat breakfast." Ray said.

"Alright!! More food!!" laughed Tyson. We all laughed except for Kai, but he got up anyway and followed the rest of us into the kitchen.

We were staring at a banquet. The table was literally covered with plates of sausages, pancakes, waffles eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice, apple juice, there were also various types of syrups and toppings. Me, Tyson and even Ray were staring at the gourmet breakfast, and drooling.

"I hope you like, it took me nearly two hours to cook, so I hope you like it." Kyaro replied grinning.

We all sat down and started to dig in. We grabbed as much as we could on our plates and just dug in.

We just finished the delicious breakfast and we were helping Kyaro clean up, but she insisted that she do it herself.

"At least let me help you." I said. Kyaro stared at me and gently smiled.

"Okay." She laughed, "Once you have your mind set on something, there's nothing to do but let you do it."

"I'll see you guys in the living room okay?" Max said. The others nodded and exited the kitchen.

"Thanks for that breakfast Kyaro, it was the best I've ever had. I hadn't had a breakfast like that since my mom use to make it." I replied.

"Don't worry. I love to cook, and especially if it's for my friends." Replied Kyaro. We finished up the dishes and then we put them away. I left the kitchen and saw Mr. Dickinson talking with the others.

"Ahhh, Max. I'm glad you finally came. I was just telling the boys about then next BeyBlade Tournament." Mr. Dickinson said.

"Really!! Another one." I replied excited. This caught Tasuke and Kyaro's ear and they listened from the kitchen, by pressing their ears against the doors.

"Yes. There was some trouble in the place where we were going to go, so it was delay for a long while. So, they've just contacted me and said that they're ready to restart the new BeyBlade World Tournament again." He replied. Everyone was cheering and happy that they would get to blade again, except for Kai of course who just closed his eyes.

"Where is it this time?" asked Kenny.

"This time it's in Europe, specifically, Paris, France" Replied Mr. Dickinson. "So we're leaving tomorrow morning, since that's only the best time to get there and there's also a charity tournament there that we get to participate in so that's why you have to leave tomorrow."

"WHAT!?"

Everyone turned and saw that Tasuke had leaned too far into the door and had fallen out. Kyaro was just behind only she was staring at everyone.

"So.you're going to the Europe tournament?" Kyaro asked.

"Yeah, we hafta leave tomorrow morning, to get there in time for everything." Kenny replied. Kyaro looked down.

"Oh. I see."

I stared at her as she was facing the ground. She then lifted up her head and then she said,

"I'm going to go to the store, I need to pick up a few items. Come on Tasuke, YOU'RE coming with me." She said. She grabbed Tasuke by the ear and hauled him out of the store.

"Ow.ow.ow.ow.ow. YEOUCH! C'MON KYARO!!! THAT HURTS!!!" Tasuke yelled.

I stared wondering what was wrong with her, and me leaving to compete in the American Beyblade.

Everyone stared at the sight of Kyaro and me.

'Kyaro, why did you look like you were so sad?'

********Kyaro********

I was walking nearly blindly with Tasuke following me behind. I suddenly stopped when I felt something wet on my cheeks falling down.

"Kyaro-san, what's the matter. Why did you run from the group?" asked Tasuke. I turned to him and replied,

"Because I don't want him to leave me alone with his father. I'm scared those men will come after me and I would endanger his father." I replied.

"But, is there another reason, you looked like you were going to cry over a broken heart." Tasuke replied.

'Maybe I am. Maybe it's these abnormal feelings to Max that I'm not accustomed to.' I thought. We continued on towards the store. Truth be told, I really did have to go to the store, because I was going to ask Max if he and the others would like to go on a picnic with me. But since they're leaving so soon, I decided to make them a farewell, picnic dinner.

Tasuke and I rounded a corner and then I crashed into someone. We both fell down onto the sidewalk and I rubbed my head.

"Itai." was all I said. I looked up and saw someone with strange pink hair and a ribbon holding her hair in place.

"Sorry about that." I said apologizing. The girl shook her head.

"Don't worry, about it, I guess I just wasn't paying enough attention, to my surroundings." She replied. I suddenly felt a strange power from her, well, not exactly FROM her, more like her pink beyblade.

"My name's Kyaro, what's your name?" I said as I helped her up.

"It's Mariah." She replied.

"I was wonder, do you have a bitbeast?" I asked. She looked at me.

"Yeah, her name Galeix (SP)?" replied Mariah. "How did you know?"

"I have my ways, and I got two of my own. Spark Knight and Saizo." I replied.

"Do you know of a person named Ray?" Mariah asked. I thought back, "Ray, that sounds familiar, umm, does he have black hair tied with a red headband around his forehead with a yin yang symbol?"

"Yeah, that's him. I wanted to tell him that I'm going to be visiting him since, everyone back home misses him." Mariah replied.

"Why don't you come with me? I'm going to the store to get some food, because I wanted to prepare a surprise picnic lunch. So, you wanna help?" I asked.

"Sure." Mariah replied smiling. Suddenly a voice behind us shouted out,

"WHAT AM I!? CHOPPED LIVER!!! HOW COULD YOU FORGET ABOUT ME!?"

I sweat-dropped. I turned around and saw a fuming Tasuke, who had literally had steam coming out of his ears.

"Eeeerrrr.Sorry Tasuke." I replied. Mariah looked confused.

"Who's he?" she asked.

"This is my friend Tasuke. He's Max's cousin." I replied.

"Oh. Nice to meet you." Replied Mariah.

I sighed as the three of us continued to the store.

**********Ray************

I was wondering why that girl looked so sad when she had heard that Max and the rest of us were leaving for the American Tournament. I knew that they had just met and all, but it seemed like there was more to it then it had seemed to the rest of us. I looked at the others and wondered what their reactions were. Kenny was still trying to get what Dizzi was saying earlier to Tasuke I think. She wasn't saying anything and Kenny was getting a little bit more curious about it.

Kai just seemed not really interested in it as it seemed and, so he was just sitting on the couch with his arms folded and his eyes closed. But although, if you look really carefully, you can see that something was bothering him, I think that girl's cheeriness had gotten to him a bit.

Max looked like he was the one that had been effected the most. He probably had no idea why that girl and his cousin had run out of the house and to the store. I couldn't tell if she really had to go, or just wanted somewhere to have an excuse to go to. I sighed. Sometimes, I wish that one of the white-tigers were here to help me with these sorts of problems.

Mr. Dickinson, had saw what had happened and so, he was talking to Max's father about something again, but we weren't paying much attention to him. We were sort of worried about that girl and Max's cousin. We were all sitting in the living room on the couches and didn't really know what to do. Suddenly we heard the door opened and turned and saw that that girl and Tasuke were back from the store for their food supplies. I was about to go help them, since Tasuke looked like he had most of the food, but I suddenly stopped when I saw some pink hair walking in right behind Tasuke and the girl.

"Mar..MARIAH!?" I shouted surprised, "what're you doing here?"

"Oh Ray, Right?" asked the girl, "We bumped into each other and she said she wanted to see you and then she decided to help me and Tasuke to make a picnic lunch." Replied the girl.

Max suddenly got up from the couch really quickly and then he went over to the girl and took a bag from her hands.

"Why..did you not want me to leave Kyaro?" Max asked quietly, so that only Kyaro could here him. But since I was near Mariah, I could hear him also.

"Well.I don't really know myself. I just suddenly felt I had to calm down and so I dragged Tasuke down with me." She replied.

"WHAT AM I TODAY, A FORGOTTEN BEYBLADE!? I'M STILL HERE YA KNOW!!!!!"

The four of us sweat-dropped as we saw the fuming Tasuke with the bags in his hands. No, more like a death grip, thanks for us, for kind of forgetting him.

"Geez!! Calm down Tasuke. You're going to throw your blood- pressure into overdrive if you keep that up!!" Max said laughing.

Tasuke took a couple of breaths and then he calmed down.

"Okay fine. But what's a blood-pressure?" he asked, staring at us. Everyone, except for Max and that girl seemed to stare at Tasuke.

"Don't mind him," laughed Kyaro coming behind Tasuke, "He gets a little ABSENTMINDED sometimes." And knocked him upside the head.

"ITAI!!!!" yelled Tasuke. He glared at Max who was sweat- dropping and laughing nervously, while Kyaro just glared at him back.

"ANYWAY!!!" grinned Mariah, as she broke the tension. "Kyaro said she was going to help make a picnic lunch for everyone, today and she invited me."

"Okay, so what should we do?" I asked.

"Go with Max and gather up some things we could do over in the park." Replied Mariah as she followed Kyaro into the kitchen. Tasuke followed Max and all the boys including Kai went looking for things to bring to the park.

Several Hours later....

"Okay!! We got the food!!" grinned Kyaro and Mariah as they exited the kitchen with two picnic baskets in each hand.

"Whoa, you guys cooked that much?" I asked staring at the four baskets.

"Of course, we both know how we kids need more nutrients to grow big and strong." Grinned Mariah winking at me. I blushed.

"Yeah, we wouldn't want anyone to get weak AND DON'T YOU DARE MAKE A COMMENT KAI, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WILL!!!"

Kyaro was right, because Kai had just opened his mouth, but wasn't able to comment on anything, because Kyaro had made her presence known. Everyone was wide-eyed and surprise. Kyaro just grinned and stuck out her tongue in a cute sort of way at us.

"Well, we got the stuff." Grinned Tyson, holding up a medium sized bag and heaving it over his shoulder.

"Okay, let's go to the park!!" cried Max, and so we left. As soon as we had gotten there, we saw several other people having picnics. We found a rather nice spot under a Sakura Tree and sat down. Kyaro and Mariah set up the food and cloth while the rest of us played soccer. Kai was just going to stand there, until Kyaro got the best of him again and managed to get him to play soccer with us. Would you believe he actually started to enjoy himself!? Kai, the guy who was always cold and silent. I guess miracles do happen.

***Kai****

'I don't know how, I don't know why, I don't even know why this is happening!? I'm actually starting to enjoy theses guy's company. Okay, I'll admit. The first time I saw them, I thought they were just weak and pathetic. That just shows you that there's more than what it seems. I guess, I'm starting to get my old self back, the one my so-called 'grandfather', buried. I missed it. But I'll just promise this, I'll be going very slowly, I know I'll break down eventually, I don't know when, but I know I will and I have to remember to carry a camera and get these guys' faces when they see that.'

"YO KAI!!! HEADS UP!!!" shouted Ray as he passed me the ball. I looked and saw that the ball was heading towards me. I grinned and started dribbling towards the goalie that happened to be Tyson. I looked determined as he got prepared for my shot. I smirked. I kicked the ball, and it hit the goal post, as Tyson dove for it, which surprised him and then it came rebounding back to me and I hit it rather hard and it was flying towards the goal and made it in. Tyson was still blinking wondering what had happened.

"Try again Tyson!!" I replied laughing, as he got up and tried to rub the dirt and grass off his clothes and face. He grinned and shouted back,

"Next time I'll be ready for ya Kai!!"

"Yeah right!!"

"C'mon guys!! Try not to fight!!" shouted Kenny and Ray as they ran towards us.

"Ohhhh, Kaaaaaiiiii!!!!" grinned Max. I stared; he had on a mischievous grin. I had a hollow feeling in my stomach.

"You forgot about the ball the both of you!!" laughed Max as Tyson threw it to him suddenly and he dribbled it towards Tasuke.

"WHAT!?!?!" Ray and I shouted, now running behind Max trying to get the ball from him. We couldn't catch up to him as he neared out goal, Ray shouted,

"TASUKE PAY ATTENTION!!! MAX IS COMING AT 12:00!!!"

"WHAT!? I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY FOUR!?" he shouted back. I groaned. People these days, don't know any expressions as in 12:00 means that he's heading directly at you from the front.

Tasuke still looked confused, until he saw Max coming up right in front of him.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY THAT MAX IS COMING STRIAGHT FOR ME!?" shouted Tasuke wildly as he tried to get ready to block the ball.

"THAT IS WHAT HE SAID!! COMING AT TWELVE A CLOCK MEANS THAT HE'S HEADING STRIAGHT FOR YOU!!" shouted Ray.

"YOU COULD OF TOLD ME A LOT SOONER YA KNOW!!!"

"JUST BLOCK THE BALL!!!" both Ray and I shouted.

Max then came running and then kicked the ball really hard and it went by Tasuke without even knowing it.

"What the!?" he said confused, as he saw the ball land inside the goal.

Both Ray and I groaned.

"Whoo!!! Score's tied 1-1!!" shouted Max, as he started jumping around. Tasuke glared.

"Jump around doing this!!!" shouted Tasuke as he ran and jumped onto Max.

"WHOA!!!!" they both shouted as they fell down. Tyson and Max came running down the field and once they saw what was happening, Tyson grinned and he jumped on top of Tasuke, as he pulled Kenny down with him.

Ray and I stared at the laughing boys, when Ray grinned and pulled me with hin and we ended up on the pile also.

"I can't believe that you actually got Kai to do this!!" laughed Tyson.

"Don't get your hopes up so high Tyson," I said, "blame Ray, he dragged me into this."

"Who cares!!! As long as we're having fun!!" laughed Ray.

The group didn't notice a pair of figures standing behind the tree, taking some pictures.

"Oh, there's going to some fun. But not for you Blade Breakers." Grinned the figures as they left.
