Kirara: Yes I know Aibou. My aibou doesn't own Digimon or Beyblade

~*~Hoshi's POV~*~

One month. One long and hard month. I'm staying with mom for the time being. She doesn't trust me with sharp objects and since I'm home alone at Dad's, it's not surprising that she's paranoid.

I walked down to the supermarket. Mom wanted me to get something for tonight's dinner. On my way there another person bumped into me.

~*~Ray's POV~*~

Well we're here in Odabia. Mr. Dickenson had send us here on a exchange student program. Don't ask me why, I don't even know myself. I decided to tag along and stay with the Bladebreakers for a while longer before returning back home.

I explored around a bit. The others were lounging around somewhere. We had an interview with an reporter for the newspaper in about an hour or so. As I passed by the market I bumped into someone. "Sorry," I said.

The person I bumped into was a girl. Needless to say I was shocked at fact that her eyes seemed lifeless and empty. Not a single emotion within them. "It's alright," said the girl calmly.

Boy she also reminds me of Kai in a way. But before I could say anything else, she got up and walked away.

~*~Hoshi's POV~*~

Well at least the kid who bumped into me was kind enough to apologize to me. Maybe I shouldn't have just left him there. Oh well too late for that.

It didn't take me long to get what mom needed. I headed towards home. On upon arriving there I found mom getting ready to leave. She must be getting ready to interview someone judging by the way she dressed.

"Hello Hoshi," said Mom. "Would you like to come with me to an interview. I'm interviewing the Bladebreakers."

As I said earlier mom's paranoid that I'll try to kill myself again. At the same time I also know that she wants me to start socializing with other people again. To be completely honest I don't know if I'm ready for that, but then again, there's a first time for everything.

"Sure thing mom," I said.

Mom smiled. She knew I trying to get back to my old self. It was hard when the guilt is still there though.

Minutes later I found myself in her office watching her talk with an old man. Soon a bunch of boys walked in. So these were the Legendary Bladebeakers. I let out a small gasp as I saw the same boy I bumped into near the market. Boy this could mean trouble.

~*~Ray's POV~*~

I watched Mr. Dickenson talk to a lady. As I looked further in I let out a small gasp that when unnoticed by my teammates. It was he same girl I bumped into near the market. Her eyes were widen in shock yet they still seemed lifeless. I snapped out of my thoughts as Mr. Dickenson came towards us.

"There you are boys. This is Ms. Takaishi, the reporter who will be interviewing you."

Ms. Takaishi bowed, "Nice to meet you boys. I hope you don't mind the fact that I brought my daughter Cheryl with me?" She glanced at her daughter that was still sitting there.

So her name was Cheryl. That's a nice name. But if her name is Cheryl, then why does the name Hoshi keep on ringing in my head?

Soon Ms. Takaishi was asking us some questions, like when did we become a team and so on. I wasn't really paying attention to that, just the girl sitting there, staring out the window without a care in the world. Just then Mr. Dickenson came back into the room.

"Bad news boys, the apartment you were suppose to stay in had a leak. They said it would probably be mixed in two months. But there's nowhere else you can stay. All the hotels are packed."

"So now what do we do," I heard Tyson groan.

Then I saw Ms. Takaishi. There was a glint in her eyes. It was the glint that most girls had when they were about to take an innocent boy shopping.

"Well there's some empty space in my house and I'm sure Hoshi won't mind some visitors. Just as long as you don't mind sharing a room or two." She glanced at her daughter who suddenly became aware of her mother's voice.

She turned this way. My heart started to beat faster for some reason. "Sure mom," she said, "I don't have a problem with that."

Someone please explain to me why my heart feels like its going 20m per/h. Wait a second didn't Ms. Takaishi call her daughter Hoshi when her name was Cheryl. Maybe it's a nickname or something. Who knows?

Anyway we all agreed. It's better to share a room, than not to have one at all.

~*~Hoshi's POV~*~

Okay mom's got that glint in her eyes that just screamed the fact that she had something up her mind. Not that I don't mind that the Bladebreakers stay with us, it's was just unusual that mom would just invite them over to stay with us. Then again mom was always the kind that welcomes others that can be trusted. Like she wouldn't let some rapist come and stay with us.

I turned back to the window. I wasn't paying attention to the interview. I just studied the boys though the reflection of the window.

The first one, Kai I believe, was the first one that I studied. There just was something about him that drew an eye. He was more like me than anyone I ever met, especially with what I'm going though. I could tell he was cold, rude, and yet he cared for his teammates. The crimson cold eyes and the blue face paint or tattoos what it was just told the story. Also his clothes, the black tank top and blue baggy pants and the white scarf describe him as a loner as well as a warrior. It seemed though that he was somewhat close to the dark blue hair boy more then he lets on. I often saw this two-tone blue hair boy looking at one another. The words Cold Phoenix rang in my mind. He must be like a phoenix. Which was true. Those who are like a phoenix are proud, distant, a warrior, and can be very fierce. The cold part must be the fact that he's a loner.

Next was the other blue hair boy. Tyson, I think was his name. He reminds me of Tai and Davis too much. Head strong, stubborn, a completely an idiot and yet a kind hearted soul. His red and blue cap, yellow t-shirt, blue pants and brown gloves told that story. Blue Dragoon appeared in my mind. That wasn't hard to figure out. He was like Tai and Davis and their Digimon for crying out loud was a type of Dragon. Actually Agumon was more of a dinosaur but who cared? But these kind of dragons I'm talking about were just like Tai, Davis and Tyson, very willing to charge head first into the battle with thinking it though. Typical. The Blue part must be the hair color.

Then there was the corn-colored hair boy. Max I think was his name. There was something about him that just said you're too cheerful for your own good. His clothes just screamed that, the bright orange overalls and bright green armbands and t-shirt. I for one don't care for orange and green together. I think they clash at times. But who cares. The phrase Cheerful Turtle came to my mind. The cheerful part was easy. Turtle well that could be two things. His bit beast that's one or he can be rather defensive when wants to, whether it's protecting his friends or a beyblade battle or himself.

Then there's that orange hair boy. Kenny or chief as I heard the other boys call him. Intriguing genius came into my mind. He reminded me of Izzy and Ken so much. The shirt with the tie and the laptop and glass. Yep this boy was like Izzy and Ken.

Then there was him. The boy I bumped into. There was something about him that left me completely confused. I felt safe in his presents and was happy to see him when he first came into the room. I felt my heart beat faster just looking at him. His golden eyes told a story, that he went through a lot. There were cat-like features too, it reminded you of a tiger. His floor length hair was tied back with a piece of cloth and he was wearing Chinese clothes. It wasn't hard to guess that he was Chinese. A white shirt, trimmed with yellow with a blue shirt underneath it, long blue pants and a red headband with the Ying and Yang symbol. Ray yeah that was his name. I fought down a blush for reason. White Tiger came into my mind. It wasn't hard to figure the meaning behind it. Ray did look like a tiger and his previous team was call the White Tigers. There was just something that made him mysterious and quiet like how I can be sometimes. Boy this boy is making me even more confused.

We soon arrive home. I walked behind everyone, even slow, distant Kai. Anyway as we walked into the house, mom asked me to show them to their rooms. "Here's the first room. Three can go in here," I said. The room was just like any other guest room.

"We'll take this guys," said Tyson.

I guess that Tyson, Max, and Kenny are staying in this room. Continuing again, I showed them the bathroom, my room and my mom's room. Then I came to last in the hallway; Tk's room. Forcing myself to not lose it, I out the door. "Here's the room. Two can fit in here."

"Nice room," I heard Ray say.

"Yeah, do have a boy cousin that comes over a lot," said Tyson.

"No," I replied. I could hear the dullness in my voice. "It's actually my little brother's."

"So we're sharing with your brother," came Kai's icy voice. Man could his voice get any colder.

"No," I replied, making my voice just as cold, "If you must know my brother is dead."

I left them behind to settle in. Okay I admit I sounded a bit rude back there, but I didn't want to bring alive those memories I've been trying to keep under wraps until I can handle them again. I walked into my room and sat down on the bed. Running my hand through my bangs, I wonder how long these memories would haunt me? I rubbed my eyes. I haven't been getting much sleep at night. It was too hard. I lay down and grabbed a pillow. Maybe I can get an hour or two without any nightmares.

~*~Ray's POV~*~

Well she can certainly be rude. Man I never heard such a cold voice before, not even for Kai. This girl is real confusing. Settling was a problem and it went real fast too, at least for me. I didn't have much stuff to bring, being from an isolated village and from traveling the world for quite awhile. Almost everything I have at the moment were my clothes, nothing else.

I walked passed Cheryl's room. The door was open and I found her sleeping. Must be tired or something if she was taking a nap. Now that I think about a nap would do some good right now.

~*~The Next Day~*~

I woke up in morning. Walking into the kitchen I found Ms. T and Kai already awake. "Morning," I said. I got a good morning from Ms. T and a soft morning from Kai. Cheryl came into the room later. From the looks of it she was up earlier than Kai.

The morning went by fast and to my amazement Tyson was up at 7:30. I think it was because of breakfast.

As the clock hand drew near the eight, I saw Cheryl get up and grab her bag. Maybe she got somewhere to go. "Bye mom," she said, "I'm leaving for school now."

As soon as Cheryl was out the door, Ms. T let out a gasp, "That's right you boys start school today."

We do? I could see the confusion in my teammates eye. We just got here and they want us to go to school already. Ms. T when to the door, "Hoshi wait for the others. They're starting to today."

Ms. T rushed us out the door and before I knew it we were standing out outside of a schoolyard. "Okay guys," said Hoshi, "This is the front office. Go inside and get your schedule, they'll assign someone to show you around." With that she walked away. Okay that was a little harsh but who can blame her? Maybe it was the way she grew up like Kai or something else, but then again who knew?

Well anyway we soon got our schedule and were starting class. We the normal routine, introduction, girls trying to glomp me and Kai, meeting new people, and so on and so, funny we had all the same class as Cheryl and she was partner up with me for everything.

Well needless to say we were all grateful when school was over. Who would have thought it was this hard? Nothing like it was back home, that's for sure.

As we walked out of our classroom we saw Hoshi talking to another girl. She was slightly taller than Hoshi and had a raspberry color hair. She looked about Hoshi's age. We just barely caught on what they were talking about.

"Hey Hoshi you want to do something today," said the raspberry hair colored girl.

There was the name again, Hoshi. I'm starting to think that her nickname is Hoshi. It would explain every time someone calls her.

"No thanks," said Cheryl, "The teacher wants to see me about something and I'm not up to anything right now. Sorry."

"It's okay," said the other girl.

Cheryl ran off. Kai nodded to me. I guess he wanted me to follow her. They'll tell me what happen later. Let's see what Hoshi is up to.

I followed her all the way back to math room. Inside a teacher was waiting for her. I wonder why she's here?

~*~Kai's POV~*~

I'll let Tyson and the others handle this. Wait a second since when did I refer the team as "Tyson and the others"? I never did before. I wonder why?

I watched as the Tyson and the others asked the girl something. Why were we trying to find out about Cheryl again? I ponder over the question when something else came to my mind again. Damn it I used "Tyson and the others" again. Anyway getting back to my earlier thoughts I realized that when I looked into Cheryl's eyes they were like mines more than I realize it. They held a secret and for some reason I feel what you would call a brotherly love. Oh god something must be wrong with me.

Tyson soon came back with information. Argh! Why am I think of that blue- hair idiot right now of all times?!

"Kai?"

I snapped out my thoughts when I heard that blundering idiot call me. "What," I said.

"Nothing," he said. "Just wanted to tell you that Cheryl's nickname was Hoshi. That would explain why everyone calls her that. But we couldn't find anything else."

"That's it," I asked.

"Yeah."

"Well then let's go. As soon as Ray gets back we can go and start practicing," I said.

"Alright." Wait did I just heard right? Tyson was agreeing with me to practice?! Looking at the rest of the team they were just as shocked. Well I guess there is a first time for everything. Something going on here. Tyson acting weird and a strange girl, with whom we are boarding with, that acts like me in a way and a feeling that something out of this world is going to happen. Great how do I get myself into these kind of things?
