I don't remember (both ways, yes, I don't remember the title of my own chapter)

Zera leaped down and snatched the beyblade a little more roughly than necessary and shoved Kenny to the ground. Ray caught a look of pain on her face before she started down the nearest alley at a run. Max was quicker. He grabbed the end of her retreating braid, pulling her to a fast halt. As she massaged the back of her head, the BladeBreakers, minus their leader, surrounded her. "He he… I really need to cut that, don't I?"

"What do you mean to do, pushing The Chief like that?!" Tyson growled. She flashed them an apologetic smile.

"Sorry 'bout that. I'm just a little… over protective."

Tyson snorted, making it clear that he didn't believe her. Another voice cut in "Let her go. She didn't mean it." They all turned to Kai.

"But…" Tyson ventured and was silenced by a glare somewhere around 0 degrees. Z shot him a reminiscent (go look it up in a dictionary) look. That startled him. He returned her look as a glare. It started to rain. Kenny shifted, trying not to get his laptop wet. "Ummm… guys? Can we continue this staring contest back at the hotel?" To his surprise, Zera laughed.

"Sure. We can all sit in corners and bore holes in walls there!" Kenny blushed. As they started for the hotel, Z dropped behind the others to walk with Kai. "So, you remember?"

Kai frowned "What are you talking about? What am I supposed to remember?"

Zero opened her mouth, but, by some divine act, the rain chose that moment to start thundering down in sheets. They made a dash for the hotel, Z mumbling something about The Great Bitbeasts "up there" hating her.

Once they where back in the hotel they didn't sit about and bore holes in the walls, in fact, they talked quite avidly. Zero came from Canada and she had lived half of her life in the Rocky Mountains. For the other half she had wandered from city to city learning all the beyblade techniques she could and beating everyone. Whenever the BladeBreakers asked about her team though she quickly and skillfully changed the topic. At about ten p.m. Tyson fell asleep in his hot chocolate and the rest of them decided it was time to pack it in. When Ray offered that she could sleep in the other room (by herself you hentis) she gracefully declined. "I have my own place to stay thank you. Where's Kai?"

"On the deck I think."

"Thanks." She pulled on her coat, flipped her braid and headed for the sliding door.

"I think Kai has a girl friend!" Tyson sang after Z closed the door to the deck.

"Uh Tyson, I don't think Kai has the capacity to have a girl friend."

"Who knows. There's a lot we don't know about him." Kenny commented as he took of his glasses.

Kai leaned over the railing. "What do you want?" he asked Zera without turning around.

"Come on Kai, why are you being such a loner? You act like…like…like your best friend the elephant is hanging over a cliff a with his tail tied to a daisy!"

Kai gave her a look that implied that she should be locked up somewhere where nice people in white coats would take care of her.

Zero's eyes widened "You really don't remember? You…You really don't remember."

Kai turned to face her "Look, what do you want me to remember! What if I don't want to remember?! Leave me alone girl!"

Zero's eyes turned from bright green to the colour of clouds right before a storm. "Fine! Have it your way!" She glared up at the sky and slammed open the door inside. "Kai! Take of your scarf and look closely in a mirror. It might remind you of who your friends were!"

Later that night, Kai's scarf lay discarded on the floor as he leaned over a mirror. He caught his breath. Images flashed through his mind. He was beginning to remember.

"Master, I have gained their trust."

"You have disobeyed. You were not to show them your power!"

"But…"

"Do not question me!"

Silence rang though the forest like screams.
