NB: here's the next chapter of answers. Rather short this one but how
cares. But it's moving fast than I recall it to.
Kirara: Don't worry about it. Just finish the chapter.
NB: alright. But please people review. It's not that bad of a story is it?
Kirara: I don't think so. Oh and my Aibou doesn't own Beyblade or Digimon. Only herself which is Hoshi.

Chapter 3
~*~Ray's POV~*~
"Hoshi, Ray could do me favor," ask Ms. T. I nodded, across the room I watched Hoshi nod her head.
"Could you two run down to the market and pick up a few things for dinner here's the list," said Ms. T she handed me the list as Hoshi grabbed her coat and bag. I walked out the door. Just as Hoshi came out I watch Ms. T give Hoshi some money.
~*~
It was only a matter of time before we hit the market funny it was the same place where I bumped into Hoshi before. Ironic isn't it?
We walked inside. Who would have thought I would have been together with Hoshi inside a market. I suddenly remember what Kenny brought up the other night.
~*~Flashback~*~third POV~*~
"Hey guys look at what I found," said Kenny. The Bladebreakers all looked to see.
Kenny pointed at his screen as Dizzi brought up the data.
"It said that Ms. T did have a son. Two in fact. It said that they died about two-three months ago. The reasons are unknown though," said Kenny.
"They just died about two-three months ago," ask Tyson, not believe his ears.
"Yeah," sad Kenny.
"What about Cheryl," asked Ray.
"I'm getting there" answered Kenny, "It said that Ms. T did have a daughter, named Cheryl but she disappeared almost 14 years ago. The police searched for her everywhere about a year later she was pronounce dead."
"But that doesn't make sense," said Max. "Hoshi's right here and I'm pretty sure she isn't a ghost that wanders around this city."
"Maxie right chief. That can't be right," commented Tyson
"Well it is," said Kenny, "I looked everywhere. Police's records, Hospital's records, they're all the same."
"Maybe they don't want to know that's she's alive. I mean as far as everyone else is concerned, Cheryl was probably adopted," said Kai speaking for the first time. "But this information does solve a few things but brings up for questions."
"Like what my dear leader," said Tyson.
Kai when red for a minute but did answer Tyson's question, "As far as why Cheryl's eyes are emotionless it's probably because she miss her brothers. She hurting inside and is trying to cover it up. How much you want to bet that normally she's as cheerful as Max and full of energy like you Tyson? But it brings more up question. Like if Cheryl is that same one as the records or an adopted daughter who was given the same name."
"That's a good point, Kai," said Kenny, "But the things is that there is no adoption papers about adopting a girl."
"Then this is even more confusing," said Max.
"True or they're trying to hide something," said Ray, "For all we know the Cheryl we know is the same as the on that is listed as Ms. T daughter. Something could have happen that is just unexplainable. I mean by chance let's say that Hoshi was kidnapped by aliens and then came back found her family and moved in with them. I mean something as highly unlikely it is would be hard to explain. And we know the police would ask these kind of questions."
"Good point Ray," said Kai, "But I think the best thing is to ask Cheryl the true or Ms. Takaishi."
~*~End of Flashback~*~ back to Ray's POV~*~
"Hey Cheryl," I said. She turned towards me and simply stating something.
"Ray if you haven't figure out by now I prefer Hoshi if you don't mind."
"Uh okay," I answer. Well Cher..Hoshi could be much like Kai. With the exception that she acts about twice as rude as Kai. Not that I'll even tell her that.
She seems like a different person. I think Kai was right. If her brothers probably hadn't died she was probably as cheerful as Max and full of energy like Tyson. Then it hit him, Hoshi at least possessed one trait from the whole team. Tyson was the fact that she was probably full of energy. She was probably as happy as Max. From what I heard, she's as smart as Kenny and like Kai she keeps to herself but someone who cares inside of her and according to the others she as mysterious as me.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I found Hoshi's emotionless eyes staring at me. "Uh," was all I could say.
She closed her eyes and turned away from me. "Nice to see that you're back to reality Ray. Now can please get going. If not there's no dinner tonight and I rather not heard Tyson complain again about him being hungry." She walked down another aisle. My eyebrows when up. Did Hoshi just make a joke?
I followed behind her with the shopping cart. She picked up things and put them into the cart. Funny it was everything that was on the list. But Hoshi didn't see the list and yet she seems to know everything we need.
We when a few aisle in silent. She didn't mind. In fact I was beginning to think that Hoshi had forgotten me.
"Ray."
Okay maybe not. "Yes?"
"Could you get that box?" (How much you would like bet that Hoshi was thinking something like, *I would get it with my powers but you're here so I can't.*)
I looked up. It was on the top shelf. I guess I never realized that Hoshi was about a head or half a head shorter than me. Must of be the a growth spurt. I reached up and grabbed the box. We moved on to the next aisle. Funny no one was in it. I guess now would be a good time to ask Hoshi about what Kenny found. I mean what are the chance I would find another chance like this?
"Uh Hoshi," I started.
"Yes," she answered.
"I know this may sound weird and it's probably not any of my business to ask you but I'm going to answer you anyway. Kenny found some things on you and your family and I know this is going to sound rude but just answer please? Are you really Ms. T's daughter and if you are then what happen all those years ago?"
I watched as Hoshi stopped in her tracks. Okay maybe that wasn't the right thing to say.
~*~Hoshi's POV~*~
How did he find out about that? I closed my eyes as memories came back. I knew for a brief moment, though no one saw me, my eyes changed back for a few seconds.
So many memories. Painful ones and happy ones and more painful ones. I tried to fight back, to forget everything that happen. Yet I couldn't.
"Hoshi?" I heard Ray ask me if I was alright. I felt his hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.
And for some reason I liked it. I suddenly never wanted Ray to let go of me.
"Look if you don't want to tell me I'm fine with that," said Ray.
I looked at him. I need to tell someone what was going one, but who to trust and more so could I trust Ray with the truth?
~*~Ray's POV~*~
I looked into Hoshi's eyes. It almost looked she in pain. Damn it I didn't mean to hurt her. She reminded me when I was torn between the White Tigers and the Bladebreakers.
She looked away. "Maybe," she said, "I am Ms. T daughter maybe I'm not."
I looked at her. So she was willing to share her story. "But if you are then why does it say you're dead?"
She looked at me. Her eyes were almost pleading with me to help her. "Maybe it's best that I am dead."
That was it. Hoshi wouldn't talk to me after that. She seemed off in her own world. What happen to her that cause her some much pain? The dead of her brothers can't be effecting her that much, can it?
We got home soon after that. Ms. T thanks us but not before noticing something was wrong with Hoshi. She asked Hoshi what was wrong but Hoshi brushed it off saying, "Nothing's wrong mom. I got a lot of things on my mind right now."
Then she went into her room.
Why do I have the feeling that something is just isn't right here?
~*~Later~*~
I when up to the roof. Earlier I heard Hoshi go up there. Opening the door that lead to the top I found Hoshi sitting on the edge on the building looking out to the sunset. She hadn't noticed that I was standing behind her.
She had in her hands some flowers. She let go of one and watched it as it caught the wind and flew away. Without warning she began to sing. It was a sad song. Yet her voice was beautiful.
"How will I start tomorrow without you here whose heart will guide me as all the answers disappear is it too late are you too far gone to stay best friend forever should never have to go away
what will I do you know I'm only half without you how I'll I make though?"
~*~ Out of Ray's POV~*~
Ms. T looked out of the window. She knew that voice anywhere. Hoshi was singing again.
Meanwhile in the other room. Kai's ears perked as he heard someone singing. "Hey do you hear someone singing," asked Tyson.
"Yeah," said Max.
"Where's it coming from," asked Kenny.
Kai looked out the window and then pointed up. "From the roof. Sounds like Hoshi."
~*~Hoshi's POV~*~
"If only tears could bring you back to me if only love could find a way What I do what I would give if you Returned to me someday, somehow, somewhere If my tears could bring you back to me
I'll cry you an ocean if you sail back home again Wings of emotion will carry you and all they can Just like loves guides you And your heart will chart the course Soon you'll be drifting To the arms of your true north"
I sang. I sang my heart out. I was just a girl looking for answers. So why can't anyone give them to me? I was hurting but I kept on asking myself, could I trust and love again? I felt the tears start to run down my cheeks. Lately they've been coming so freely.
"Look into my eyes and see a million tears have go by and still they're not dry
If only tears could bring you back to me if only love could find a way what I do what I would give if you Returned to me someday somehow somewhere If my tears could bring you back to me."
I looked down at the busy streets below. Nothing made sense anymore. It was just too confusing. Tell me, if I asked you if you were in charged of protecting something but you fail how would you have felt? In the same process lose someone close to you. I let go of the flower I had in my hand. Some of my tears happen to catch on the wind too as it blew the flower away. I watched as the flower drifted away and my tears glitter in the dieing sunlight.
What was the point with living? I still pondered over that thought time and time again. Maybe things were just wasn't supposed to right for me. I think I finally understood what all the legends I have heard meant.
They talk only of a sad tale.
~One person will change this world. Her name is written in the stars. The keeper in peace that's who she is. Her power rivals all of the guardians together. Yet for one who rules peace her life is not one of happiness. Loneliness, pain, hurt, and sorrow. These just a few thing that she will experience. She and she alone can decided the future. Whether to destroy the place that cause her pain or watch over it. Those who help her will eventually fade into the shadows. Only one can save her. Let us hope she never chooses to destroy.~
A recalled that passage from a writing on a wall I found a year ago. At first I thought of it as nothing. Yet now I can't help but think if I had taken that more serious maybe this would have never happen. Then my thoughts drifted back to the readings I found. If I just had taken them more seriously maybe this would have happen. If I only had asked the other guardians about it. But there were too many if I. What was done was done. There was nothing I could do to change over
"I've held you close inside words I've only whisper before For one last chance, for one last dance inside of me!
That I would like and love
If only tears could bring you back to me If only love could find a way What I would do what I would give if you Return to me, someday somehow somewhere If my tears could bring you back to me."
I let go the last flower in my hand. If it was only that easy to let go of all the pain. It still hurt and I know it still will be for years to come. I watch the last flower fly away into the sky. I wish somehow I could just become that flower flying away. But that would be running away and that was the last thing I would want to do. Whether I like it or not I have a duty a job, sometimes I would how the other guardians see me. Do they see an untouchable girl who has the power to destroy the world or do they see well right now at least, a girl that's tired, weary and hurting inside?
I got up looking down at the streets. There was no one around so I wouldn't get caught I hope. I jumped down and bounced off the wall of the buildings landing safely on the ground. Maybe it was time to go back to the Digital World.
~*~Ray's POV~*~
She jumped! Oh god what was she thinking?! I raced towards the edge just in time to see Hoshi land safely on the ground. Guess she took some serious martial arts or gymnastics. I watched as Hoshi took off. I wonder where's she going. But most of all how was I suppose to tell Ms. T that her daughter just took off. Maybe I should go after her. I jumped down from the roof. Hoshi wasn't the only one how could do that. I took after her. I don't know where she was going but I had to find out.
~*~An Hour later~*~Out of Ray's POV~*~
Ray came upon a isolated area of the park. He had followed Hoshi all the way here. He didn't know why she came here but he followed her anyway.
~*~Hoshi's POV~*~
I looked around. Secluded enough to perform the spell without problems. I closed my eyes and slowly began to chat the very words that felt so familiar to me.
"By the Gods of the World grant me thy power to summon thy portal from this world to another!"
Before me the portal to the Digital World opened. I better get going. I jumped into the portal.
~*~Ray's POV~*~
Okay this was getting weird. I never knew that Hoshi could do that. Maybe my hunch was right. Something very unlikely happened and Hoshi didn't want to explain it to the rest of the world. It was probably too hard. Now to decided, follow her or not to follow. Uh oh the portal was starting to close. Better chose quick! Uh that's it I'm following her.
I jumped through the portal.
~*~
Ow that hurt. I looked around. Okay I'm not in Japan any more. From the looks it looks like I'm nowhere near civilization. I heard something behind me. Hoshi suddenly walked out of the bushes. There was an impression of shock on her face, though it didn't show in her eyes. "RAY!!!!!!"
~*~
NB: There. It wasn't that bad of a story right?
Kirara: Aibou stop asking that. But people please review. It's isn't that hard to. Just a simple great chapter or keep it up or even ^_^ will do. Just please review.
