Chapter Three: One Good Event Deserves Another

It's morning at Tyson's house. All is quiet as filtered sunlight slowly creeps its way through the windows. Tyson's grandfather invited Ray, Max and Kai to stay at this very house (as long as they sign up for *drums* Grandpa's Time-Consuming Sword Lessons!) It was pretty roomy, so each boy gets his own room (only one toilet in the house).

As the clock ticks near 6 o' clock, something that hasn't been heard in many years under this very house, is now heard...

*BEEEEEEEEEEPPP!!!!!!!!!! *

...The demanding cry of the alarm clock.

"Ow! Whose stupid alarm clock is that?!" yells Tyson as he reaches towards his own broken one thinking that it was beeping.

"Get up Tyson," Kai commanded standing over him, "Today's Monday, if your memory hasn't failed you yet, and we need a rigorous run to school if you ever want to be the champ again."

"Egh..." moaned Tyson, hair sticking out everywhere, "I'm going, I'm going..."

* * *

"Yawwnnnn..." yawns Tyson walking down the not-so-interesting street to school. The cherry blossoms however fascinate Ray and Kai holds barely a knapsack while walking in front eyes closed (half-closed, don't be fooled!)(Oh and Max is skipping along the sidewalk all happy and stuff).

Ray looks over at Tyson, "Tyson you gotta look at all the cool things around here rather than yawning from morning till night."

"That's right," Max agreed, "Just look at those cherry blossoms!"

"Easy for you guys to say," moped Tyson, "I'm not an overly popular guy like you are at school Ray, and well, I may not be looking forward to another school day Max," as he rips a piece off his toast.

"Satoshi Tajiri Secondary School," Kai read off the building, "Nice tacky school Tyson."

"Thanks for the reminder," Tyson said looking around the schoolyard of frolicking kids. He spots Kimmy and, without warning, begins daydreaming (drool drool).

"Hm. Tyson looks funny," noticed Ray looking over at Tyson. He looked in the direction of where Tyson was looking and made a confused face. Max asked, "Watcha making faces at Tyson?"

"Oh, nothing," he simply said.

"Hey doesn't that girl over there look a heck lot like Mariah?" recalls Ray thinking about his girl friend back in Hong Kong. "What's her name Tyson?"

"I could tell you Ray my man," Tyson said greedily, "But she's off limits for you. She's Kimmy, and sadly Hilary's best friend." (Ray: Hilary who?)

Kai looks over, "There's a girl coming towards you."

Tyson, Max and Ray look over at a short brown-haired girl with a white skirt and dominating eyes. "Looks like Tyson broke his record today! You made it to school 10 minutes early. I dunno if I should give you the Nobel Prize or not." She said sarcastically.

"Very funny Hilary," replied Tyson, "Maybe I should give you an Oscar for the worst hallucination in daylight." (Hilary: You'll be so sorry you ever said that!) "Err." says the annoyed Hilary.

"Hilary it's almost time for class!" Kimmy yelled halfway across the schoolyard, "Watcha doing?"

Kai, who had his back to the school, jumped and looked across the schoolyard, past running kids, past teachers and others to. "Kim?"

A mad rush of thoughts and flashbacks came running back into Kai's memory, bringing him back to a scene. A scene with one girl and one guy. The guy threw the girl off and out into a huge rainstorm, closing the building of the door behind him, scowling. The guy's grandfather had convinced him to join his shadowy group and offered him great power. No longer needing the girl.

"Just a bunch of second-rate twerps," Hilary replied back to Kim. Kai snaps back to reality. Hilary turns to Tyson, "And one of them is gonna be in a lot of trouble when I tell Ms. King-Kay. Humph," she ends and starts walking to Kimmy. "I think she likes you Tyson", joked Max.

* * *

"Today class we have yet another two students that will be joining us for a while," began Ms. King-Kay, "And I believe you all know them so I don't have to do that much introducing! Everybody this is Ray, and Max from the Bladebreakers team."

The class cheers! Yeah! Ray stood up smiles across his face along with a waving his arms Max. The loudest cheer came from Kenny, who was all out of breath sleeping in last night doing research. All was happy, all except Hilary. Hilary looks away in disgust like always and Kimmy sits there trying not to ruin the moment for Hilary.

"Hey Ray can you sign my Beyblade?!" calls a kid with blue hair and a Bladebreakers t-shirt. "You're so cool, Max!" screams another.

"Settle down class!" called Ms. King-Kay, "Or we don't be having our guests in the same classroom!" With that the class quiets down and smiles while hiding disturbing smirks. All were excited, even Talon, but his excitement wasn't just as jumpy as the others. "Hm." he whispers to himself, excellent.

Next door in Mr. Suzuki's ninth grade classroom, Kai was introduced to the class with yelps and cheers. Kai just closed his eyes unwelcoming to this and took his seat, which no one minded, and although he didn't know it, he was becoming popular! *gasp!*
