Gen: Ah! Yes! Thanx! And, this chapter starts with all the Blade Breakers going home from the Asian tourney! Now, on with the fic!!

~*~*~

[Tyson, Rei, & Mariah catch a cab to Tyson's house. When they get there, Tyson's Grandpa is in the Dojo, meditating.]

Tyson: * opens the front door * Hiya, Grandpa! I'm home! And I've brought 2 friends with me!

Grandpa: * opens 1 eye * Oh really. * opens the other eye * Well, hello there, my peeps! * stands up * What's happenin'?

[Rei & Mariah bow to Grandpa]

Both: Hello sir.

Grandpa: Wow! These little peeps have mondo respect for their elders! Now why can't you be like that, T?

Tyson: Because you're my Grandpa.?

Grandpa: * rolls his eyes * So, anyway, what are your names?

Rei: I'm Rei, & this is Mariah.

Grandpa: * shakes their hands * Nice to meet ya! I'm Tyson's Grandpa; you can call me Grandpa, or Gramps!

Mariah: Ok.^^;;; Well, do you think you could house 3 teens at one time? That is, Tyson, Rei, & myself!

Grandpa: Oh, I do believe so! We've always got plenty of food, & we've got enough guest rooms. T! Show your friends where they can stay!

Tyson: Yes, Grandpa.

[The 3 kids walk out of the room & down a hall. Mariah & Rei look very impressed by the vastness of Tyson's house.]

Tyson: Here's one room, * points to the door on his right * & here's another * points to the door on his left *. Pick which ever one you want. My room is on the right side of the hall down there * points in front of him *, & Grandpa's is right across the hall from mine. So, take your pick! [Rei & Mariah start running down the hall * Of THESE 2 rooms, that is!

Rei: Aw, you know we were just kidding!

Tyson: Yeah! ^^

[Rei picks the room on the left, & Mariah picks the right one. They put their bags on their beds, & come back into the hall.]

Rei: So, when's dinner? I'm starving!

Mariah: * licks her lips * Yeah, me too!

Tyson: I don't know.Let's go ask Grandpa.

[They walk back to the dojo, but Grandpa isn't there.]

Tyson: Mmm. he might be in the kitchen.

[They walk to the kitchen, & they all go wide-eyed.]

~*~*~

[When Kai gets home, his Grandfather doesn't give him a warm greeting like Tyson's Grandpa.]

Kai: * yells * I'm home!

Voltaire {AN: That's Kai's Grandfather's name, remember?}: Hello, young Kai. How was the tournament?

Kai: Eh, alright, I guess. We won.

Voltaire: Yes, I know. So, what have you found out about the other bit beasts out there?

Kai: That there are a lot of them, & some are pretty powerful.

Voltaire: I see. Well, then, you can go do. er. whatever you were going to do then.

Kai: * rolls eyes * Ok.

[Kai goes up to his room, & then heads for the Street Sharks' HQ.]

[When Kai gets to the HQ, he finds that all the lights are off.]

Kai: * yells * Hey! Where is everybody?!

[A voice comes out of the darkness.]

Voice: I've been waiting for you, Kai. [A BeyBlade lands at his feet, spinning rapidly.]

Kai: Who are you?! Where's my gang?!

[A single light flickers on overhead. Out of the shadows comes a girl's face. Her vibrantly green eyes seemed to glow in the dark.]

Girl: I am going to be new leader of Street Sharks - once I defeat you, that is. I've already beaten your mediocre gang, & whipped half of 'em into shape.

Kai: There's no way you'll be able to beat me! Now come on & face me like a man!

Girl: I'm a girl, you idiot!

Kai: Whatever! Let's just get this over with! I won't lose!

~*~*~

Gen: Well, well, well! Looky at what Kai's got himself into! Who is this mysterious girl? And what has Tyson, Rei, & Mariah freaked out? Find out in the next installment of "Here's Your Past, Present, & Future!"
