Kai lay on his bed in the bedroom her shared with Ray. There was an extra bed in between them. He was lost in thought. He jumped up as he heard a key in the door. He sat back down figuring it was Ray. 'It sure took them a long time to go shopping!' he thought. 'Then again they went with Tyson, so you never know!' He heard a girl's voice and got up with interest.

He walked to the door and opened it. His teeth clenched. There sitting at the counter with his teammates was the girl that had tripped him earlier. He glared at her from behind. He noticed her hair was the same but up close he saw that it was folded into the hat to look shorter.

Kita smiled as she listened to the boys talk. Jerry had bid them good night and headed for home. Kenny had suggested she come to stay at the hotel. Ray told her that there was a spare bed in his and Kai's room. Kita bit her lip like Jerry did when she was nervous. If truth be told Kita was the reason Jerry had started doing that.

"What is it Kita?" asked Tyson stopping as well and turning to look at her.

"I just felt cold by my ears. I'm going to put my hat on!" Kita lied as she pulled it out. 'At least he didn't see me!' Kita thought happily. 'Then again he hardly knows I'm alive.' Her mind was bitter now.

"So Kita your parents must be pretty rich!" Max said as Kita walked back up by them.

"Why do you say that?" asked Kita curiously.

"Well, you have all of that neat stuff in that shop. It must have coast a lot, not to mention your cool blade!" Max replied.

"I bought that stuff and by blade didn't cost me a penny."

"How? Did you find it?" asked Kenny.

"No, I'll explain later."

"So will your parents be proud that you're part of the Blade Breakers?" asked Ray.

"Not at all. I live with my dad. He'll be pissed that I joined your team. He knows I'm an okay blader but he doesn't want me to blade for any team like yours! I hardly doubt he knows I exist. He blames me for everything wrong in his life. He doesn't even know I'm here. He thinks I'm in the Bahamas- that's where I live. I just fly here when I'm sick of him. To make a much longer story short- he hates me." Silence fell after her words. They were all thinking about her situation.

"Uh, sorry about you father," Tyson said lamely.

"Don't be. I hate his guts just as much. I'll never forgive him for what he did to me when I was like four. I don't really care anymore!" Kita was smiling again. Suddenly it faded as she saw the Silver Inn and knew what she would find inside

Kai crouched down and then sprang. "Watch out!" Tyson and Ray yelled in unison. Kita ducked. Ashe was a little too slow. He got her hat as he soared over her and landed neatly. He spun around hat clenched in hand. Kita's face was buried in her hands.

"Nice job Kai! She's our new Blade Breaker!" Max said hotly.

"WHAT?! HER?! I'M GOING TO KILLHER!" Kai yelled. He was fuming over had had happened earlier. Ray and Tyson were talking quietly to Kita who refused to remove her hands form her face.

"I told you Kai would do this!" Dizzi retorted from her position on the counter. Kenny laughed and Kai rolled his eyes.

"Come on just look at the jerk who stole your hat!" Kenny coaxed. Kita shook her head.

"I want to know why you let her join our team!" Kai said indignantly. "And without consulting me!"

"Because she beat Max with ease; he is good!" Ray said.

" Right, so she beat him and you just decided to le her on!"

"Her blade is amazing!" Tyson said.

"Yeah, but she's a baby!" Kai spat. Kita was shaking. They thought she was crying, but she was mad. Her silver hair caught Kai's eyes. 'So much like her's.. I miss her so much..'

"I- am- not- a- baby- Kai!" she yelled pulling her face out of her hands. Kai froze, stunned. Her green eyes blazed with anger. Kai was flipping out.

"KITA?!" he yelled. Kita's stood.

"I'm surprised you remember my name Kai. Been a long time hasn't it?" her voice was etched with anger and hurt.

"W-what do you mean. I promised never to forget you!"

"You never kept that promise. I haven't heard from you in years and you've been spending your time beyblading. I guess you were always a big lie. I'm going to bed. See you in the morning team!" Kita spun around and headed to her room. He changed her mind half-way there and turned back to Kai. Se rushed over and slapped his cheek very hard. Then she felt the tears spill form her eyes as she locked the door to their room and sunk onto the middle bed.

The Blade Breakers stared at their teammate, whom was clutching an icepack to his sore and bruised cheek. "How did you know Kita?" asked Kenny.

"I'm not telling you!" he snapped huffily.

"Why does she hate you?" asked Ray Kai had fight to mask tears that threatened to spill.

"I really don't know. I guess because I never bothered to fi-" Kai stopped short trying to keep from crying. Kita was the only person he had ever cared about in the world. The only one who had card for him- he'd thought.

Kita's face was in the green and blue pillowcase, her shoulders shaking. She heard the door open but didn't look up. Kita knew Kai too well to think it was him. "Kita?" came Ray's soft voice. She choked down her sobs with difficulty and looked up as he sat down on the edge of the bed. Kita could hear Tyson's voice yelling something at Kai.

"S-sorry, Ray. I j-just sort of f-flipped out back there," Kita said sheepishly. Ray looked worried all the same.

"How do you know Kai? Why do you hate him?"

"You'll have to ask him," was Kita's abrupt and chilly reply. She smiled. "Sorry, I'm just not ready to say.." Ray didn't prod. He led her out to the rest. Kai didn't look up at her.
