Chapter 2*~~ The Silver Inn*~~

Kai stared blankly out of the window tuning out his teammates. Kenny had set Dizzi aside and was talking with Tyson, Ray, and Max. Their voices were low. Kai sat once again by himself in the back. His eyes were on the many palm trees along the road they were on.

"You guys this may sound strange but I'm actually worried about Kai," Kenny said. He sat in front of Kai and in between Max and Tyson. Ray was sitting on the floor and occasionally flinching as they rode over a bump. He wanted to talk with the guys but didn't want Kai to overhear.

"Why would it sound weird?" asked Tyson. "I'm worried too."

"Because," Dizzi started, "he's a loner and not exactly the nicest person in the world."

"Dizzi!" Kenny said.

"What? It's the truth."

"Look, even if he isn't the nicest person here he's our coach and a teammate. Besides we've been with him for two years! Even after the World Tournament," Ray said as they went over a large bump.

"He's right," Max agreed. "I'm starting to get a bad feeling."

"But we don't know anything about his past," Kenny said thoughtfully. His face contorted with thought.

"Yeah," Tyson agreed. "It's strange. E never talks about his life before he met us. And if he does it's only when he was with the street shots. What is he keeping from us, and why?" There was silence in the car as they drove on. Each face fixed with thought. Kai's mind was dancing back to the moment he had found out Melanie didn't care.

"We're here!" Mr. Dickinson said suddenly startling the Blade Breakers. They stood up and climbed out. "Welcome to the Silver Inn." 'Inn' was a HUGE understatement. It was a tall building that glistened a pretty silver. It was fifty floors high and long. There were three large pools in sight and many food and drink stands. There was a beach in view and a volleyball court.

"Ah can you call this an Inn?" asked Max.

"I know. Can you believe it started out as a one story building with twelve rooms and a small pool?" said Mr. Dickinson. Kai was unimpressed.

"Can we go in now?" he asked dully.

"Come on Blade Breakers!" Kenny said as he grabbed Dizzi. They trooped inside. It was a huge ceiling with balconies from the second floor. It was al marble. They walked to the front desk.

"May I help you?" asked the woman behind the counter. She bore a strong resemblance to Melanie except her eyes were blue. Kai scowled at his memories.

"We have some rooms reserved under Dickinson," Max told her.

"I'll need ID," she said pushed a piece of hair behind her ears. Mr. Dickinson was about to hand it to her when they heard a squeal and running feet. They spun around. There was a little girl with short pale, pale yellow white almost silver hair. She was running towards them. An older girl with pure white hair was running after her.

"You're the Blade Breakers!!" she said happily. Tyson bent down. Kai stood frozen. Tears burned in his eyes. He backed away.

"Yeah we are. How did you know that? Owwwwwwwww!!" he yelled as Max hi his head. Ray roiled his eyes.

"Tyson we've won a few tournaments!" he said. "You are really dense," Ray added.

"Thanks a lot Ray!"

"Your welcome."

"So what would you like little girl?" the older girl had caught up.

"Jenny! Leave these children alone!" but she suddenly saw that they were teenagers. At least everyone except Kenny. Her lips broke into a smile. Then her eyes grew wide. "You're the Blade Breakers. My twin brother idolizes you!" She said. She held out her hand. "I'm Teresa. You'll have to excuse my little sister. She is obsessed with Beyblades. I can't even get her to go for a walk without her bit beast!"

"I'm Tyson. This is Max, Ray, Kenny, and Kai. Oh yeah and Mr. Dickinson, he formed the Blade Breakers." But suddenly Tyson noticed Kai staring wide-eyed at Jenny. So did everyone else.

"You okay Kai?" asked Max.

"Never seen a kid?" asked Tyson sarcastically. Ray hit his head this time and Tyson shrugged. Kai turned away ad sat down far away from them. "I seriously think he needs therapy," Tyson muttered. He turned back to Jenny.

"Can I have your autograph?" she asked holding out a piece of paper and pen. Tyson grinned.

"Sure," he took it and signed. Then he handed it to the rest. After Mr. Dickinson had signed it he walked over to Kai with the rest of the team. Te woman sighed as se watched from her station. "Kai sing this for Jenny!"

Kai didn't move. He looked at Jenny for a long while. Her innocent pale blue-green eyes pleading. '"I love you too Kai!'" the voice of the little girl with silver hair floated into his mind. He stared at Jenny and held out his hand. Tyson gave it to him quickly before Kai changed his mind.

'Jenny, you now have all of the Blade Breakers autographs. Be a good girl and never loose the ones you love, trust me. Do whatever it takes to keep them by you. I didn't follow the advise I got from my friend and I should have.

Your friend, Kai~~~~~~~~~~*' he handed it to her and walked away to the desk once again. "Rooms please?" he said in an undertone.

"Huh? Oh ye, here are your keys. You vote the top floor!" she handed Kai nine glittering silver keys. Kai began to walk upstairs.

"Bye Jenny, Teresa!" Tyson and Ray yelled as they dashed after him. The Blade Breakers got into the elevator and took a seat for the two to three minute ride to the top. "Hey Kai, what were you writing. It looked like a lot."

"That wasn't for you to read Tyson so why should I tell you?" snapped Kai.

"All right chill out! You need to breath Kai, I was just wondering," Tyson said quickly.

"Yeah well don't wonder," Kai said moodily.

"Boys, boys, calm down. We're here!" There was an annoying ding as Mr. Dickinson finished his words. Kai grabbed his stuff and led them to their rooms. "I got us three sweets. One for me and Tyson's grandfather when he gets here later, and two for you boys. I'll let you work it out. They're connected though. Right across from mine, they are. Can I have my keys Kai?" Kai handed him two of the glittering keys and tossed ones to each of the Blade Breakers as well.

"Mr. Dickinson went into his room. "Whatever key you got is where you'll stay," Kai instructed as he looked down at the ones left in his hand. He grabbed one that read Past 50. The keys were quite strange. The other ones he had read Past 50 on one and one it said Hope 50.

"Okay what's with these keys?" asked Ray looking at his. It said the same as Kai's.

"I'll ask Dizzi. But let's go into my room first," Kenny suggested. They nodded and Kenny looked at his key. "Hope 50," he read aloud.

"There," Ray said and pointed. The room kitty corner from Mr. Dickinson's read 'Hope 50' so Kenny slipped his key in and opened it.

"Home sweet Inn," Tyson said happily as he set his Hope key on the counter of small kitchen in their suite. "So Kenny what dies Dizzi say?"

"Do you have any patience?" asked Kenny.

"No he doesn't," Max replied. Tyson smiled.

"Oh all right sit down." They sat around the table as Kenny opened Dizzi and started her up.

"What doe Tyson want to know this time?" asked Dizzi.

"These keys all say Hope 50 and Past 50. We're at the Silver Inn in Florida. Why don't they say room numbers?" asked Kenny.

"That's and easy one," she said. "The Silver Inn has 50 floors. There are room names on each. Past, Hope, Seagull, Dream, Chance, Dolphin, Starfish, and many others are used to represent a room. We're in Hope 50. You'll see that Hope is written in various parts of the room.

"This way they can keep better track of rooms and who cleans them. The numbers after them say what floor you're on. The top floor has a lesser amount f room because so many are suites.

"It is also said to be good luck or something like that. See each room name comes from an old pile of scripts on display. Each has a meaning. Hope means that this may be the place you'll find hope and love.

"You're on top of Hope 49 right now, by the way. They're positioned the same. They chopped out the middle room names because of the suites."

"Thanks Dizzi!" Max said.

"I'm going to eat something!" Tyson said suddenly. The all shook they're heads.

"I'll get some dinner after we unpack," Kai said to everyone's surprise. Kai rolled his eyes. "I'm not Bloody Mary! I can d something nice once in a while. Just don't get used to it!" So they all went to unpack and settle in.

Kai knocked on the door of Hope 50. "What do you guys want to eat?" he called. Tyson bounded to the door with a list and money from Mr. Dickinson. Kai rolled his eyes but took the list. He headed to the elevator ad got in with a few chatting girls. On that looked about eleven glanced at him and looked thoughtful. She seemed to brush it off but Kai had noticed. Her hair was a pretty purple and she wore a yellow sun dress. But what he really didn't like was the girl with deep blue hair around sixteen that was checking him out. As soon as they hit the lobby he walked quickly away.

He entered a small store at the lake shore ad got all of his stuff. A girl with short cut silver hair was in line in front of him. A blue hat with green and yellow blossom pictures on it like a safari hat on her head. She go her things and turned to go. Her hat masked her eyes as she walked out and sat on a bench a little ways away.

Kai bought his things ad left, not paying the girl any mind. He passed her without realizing it. Or he almost did. Her leg was out slightly and he tripped over it. The groceries were safe but he was mad. He turned to her. Her eyes were still hidden and her hair seemed even shorter but her tight blue top showed she was a girl.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he snapped. The girl froze. She carefully looked away so he wouldn't see her eyes. He threw punch which she dodged going down. She spun her leg under him and knocked into his legs forcing him to fall. She stood up and walked quickly away without looking back. Her yellow skirt had dirt on it.

Kai trudged back to the Inn. The girl went back to the store later that day and grabbed an apron, taking a station behind the counter. Tyson was quite hungry so he went to the store with Ray, Max and Kenny for some snacks. Kai was too grouchy to go though they did not know why. The walked in and saw the girl standing behind the counter. Her hat lay by her red coat behind her on a peg.

A/N I hope you liked this chapter. Sorry it was long but the rooms are VERY important, trust me. Plz Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and the silver haired girl is eleven.
