To tell the truth, I really like this fic. It's my second pure beyblade story, but its so much more fun to write. Oh well, anyway I won't be making this fic too long... it annoys my creative streak if I make it long. Like my to be a Pegasus, seeking the light and digital destinies stories... they were just way to long.

Chapter Eight: Meetings

      It would be a beautiful day; the sun slowly appeared in the horizon. Slowly the chilly morning air warmed, as it did the morning sounds of birds and animals filled the air.

      At this time Tenshi slowly felt himself wake up, to his startlement he found himself pressed up against something warm and it felt strong. With a yawn he opened his eyes, a blush quickly settled across his face.

      He found himself held closely to Tala's chest, it felt so comfortable he hadn't really noticed before... and was it his imagination or was Tala smiling in his sleep.

      'No, he really is smiling' Tenshi thought, slowly he slipped out of the other boys arms and stood. As he did the blanket from last night fell to the ground, looking at the sleeping Tala he smiled softly.

      'He's rather sweat sometimes, I wonder why no one ever noticed it before' he thought, with that in mind he decided to start breakfast. After all they had a long way to go before they reached the village, they needed energy.

      As he pulled out food and the things he needed his thoughts wondered, to tell the truth he was worried.

      How would his once teammates react to there now non-human teammate, he knew they would hate him for not telling he was alive... but would they understand that he feared there hatred.

      He sighed, he really shouldn't dwell on such depressing thoughts, but he couldn't help it.

      Tenshi's mind wandered back to the canister the scientist had given him and the other scientific things. Inside the canister was the transformation virus in its purest form, and with the scientific equipment he would hopefully be able to find a cure.

      He hoped to at least, but he needed chief to do that... he didn't have the scientific know how to do it on his own. That was one of the reason he was doing this, also by gathering certain people together he hoped he would be able to defeat the coming evil.

      'How much time do I have left, my contacts were quite worried when they told me the demon was getting very powerful. As of a week ago I lost contact with most of them, they're all going into hiding and they have a good reason too also' the golden eyes angel thought, he sighed.

      'Stop thinking about all that, if I keep dwelling on it will make me loose concentration when the fight actually starts' he thought frowning, with that in mind Tenshi vigorously worked on breakfast.

***

      After a healthy breakfast the two were once again on there way, Tenshi was once again in his robe and since his hood was covering him all Tala could see of him were his golden eyes.

      "What is this place called?" Tala asked, there was a slight pause.

      "Blue Dragon," Tenshi responded, as that name came to him Tala felt a sadness inside him. That name reminded him of Tyson, the blue haired boy when he had been alive had a blue dragon called Dragoon... the name made him think of that lost soul.

      'Probably in heaven, driving the angels crazy with his antics probably' he thought, unable to help it a smile flickered across his face for just a moment.

      'Blue Dragon, strange to meet in a place that has a name that links us all together in some way' Tala thought, it seemed fate had stepped in.

***

      It was around mid-morning when Kai and the remaining Bladebreakers decided to leave, their packs were full of food and they had accomplished what they had set out to do here.

      Slowly; the group of four walked up a steep path that would lead out of the Blue Dragon village.

      They were almost to the top of the rise when Kai looked back, once in he drank in the beauty of this small valley hidden by the black sand's dessert.

      "Kai?" a voice said, startled he came back to reality.

      "What," he said, the voice which belonged to Kenny sighed.

      "Nothing," the teen said, with that Kai once again started walking up the path that would leave this sheltered area.

      "Why in the world are we sitting here," a voice suddenly said, startled the four traded looks. Who could that be; from what Vash said this are was very hard to find, in fact the only reason they had found it was because they had been giving specific directions.

      Kai frowned, the person ahead or people ahead could mean bad news to the village below. They would have to check these people out; he nodded to the others who understood his unspoken words.

      Quickly they ran around a bend in the path, and quickly froze... standing there was someone he had hoped never to see again.

      "TALA!" he shouted shocked, the red haired teen smirked clearly enjoying Kai's shocked reaction. The reaction of the others were the same, they all clearly had not expected this.

      "I told you, here was a perfect spot to wait for them," a soft voice said, startled the four spun around and stared surprised.

      None of there highly trained senses had felt this person come up behind them.

      The person was covered head to toes in a thick robe/cloak; a hood covered his face entirely hiding all facts of 'who' he was from them. The person was only as tall as Kai's nose, then suddenly Kai found himself looking into golden eyes of the unknown.

      For some reason he felt shock and relief, why he felt these he did not know... it was as if his subconscious mind was trying to tell him something.

      "Bladebreakers meet Tenshi, Tenshi... I already know you know who they are," Tala said in an offhand voice, Kai got the distinctive feeling the one called Tenshi thought this was all amusing.

      "Behave Tala," Tenshi said, then with a slim hand pulled back his hood.

       Kai couldn't help but gasp inwardly; Tenshi was probably the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Silver-white hair flowed around a gentle heart shaped face; kind golden eyes seemed to stare into his soul.

      Strangely this reminded him of the fist time he had met the gorgeous sapphire haired and eyed Tyson. Of course back then he had denied it in anyway possible, he only wished now that he could go back in time and tell Tyson he loved him.

      Quickly he pushed what he felt for Tenshi away; he wouldn't let himself feel that way again... he had lost Tyson. If he let himself fall for this Tenshi, what would happen to himself if something happened to Tenshi.

      "We've been waiting for you Kai, now things can finally begin," Tenshi said with a strange smile, Kai felt a strange chill go through him.

      He had a feeling things had just gotten a lot more complicated.

FH: A short chapter I know, but I've been working a lot lately and my creative juices are low. It doesn't help that I have a slight cold... oh well (major sneeze fest)

R.Calumon: Excuse the poor sick writer, she's been busy... especially getting over a bout of food poisoning and the fact last week a hurricane went through the area and she had no access to her home computer to write (no electricity for a few days).

FH: See you next chapter, which will be better.
