I do not own BeyBlade, Sakura, Sora, or Kelly. I do own Kit and the new beyblades introduced in this chapter. On with the story!

Kit looked away. "That was my older brother, Kouga. He was drunk...again."

"What do you mean, again?" Kai asked, looking Kit in the face from the side.

Kit closed her eyes and sat on the steps to the inside of the house. "It's a long story. Sure you have time for all of it?"

Rei nodded and sat down beside her while everyone else took various seats. Sakura was sitting on the top of the blading arena and Kit moved to the windowsill.

"Well, about ten weeks ago, my parents were killed in a car crash. That's when my brother started drinking. When I asked him why, he merely said that it eased the pain of their deaths. Soon, he was drinking more, then stronger drinks, like vodka. Now, he can have strait vodka, no coke, no nothing. Well, anyway, one time he came home and he saw me blading. He yelled at me that I couldn't blade because people who blade are weak, emotionally and physically, but he said that they were strategists. But he told me not to. I told him that I would do whatever I wanted to. This was the blade that my mom gave me for my birthday five years ago. We argued, and he hit me. Repeatedly. Then, I had to form my team in secret. We've never been to any major tournaments or anything because we can't. If Kouga ever found out that I did something serious like that, he'd kill me. Now, whenever he gets drunk, which is quite often, he hits me and yells at me and tells me I'm useless. That's been happening for about three weeks now," Kit concluded sadly. Sakura got up, strangely somber, and put comforting arms around her.

"Why, though?" Kenny asked.

"Because my father was a blader. My father and my brother never got along, so my brother didn't want my to end up like my father. It was all for my own good, but I never liked it. I always love blading and Kouga couldn't get me to stop, so he gave up and told me that I was ruining my own life. Then, we'd argue more and I think you can guess how that finished," Kit said quietly.

Rei stood up as well and went over to Kit. "Can I see you blade?"

Kit nodded an held out a silver beyblade. Rei examined it and found that it was best at speed and offense. Kit's blade also had a bitbeast.

"You have a bitbeast?!?!" Rei asked, astonished.

Kit nodded. "We all do. Mine is a silver fox with five tails. It's name is Ivorywings," Kit said, looking at the beyblade in Rei's hand.

"What are the others?" Tyson asked.

"Sakura's is a black dragon with red eyes. It is named Ryukokyu. Sora's is a black unicorn named Umarappa. Kelly's is a silver bear named Tsumegin," Kit said.

"Wait a second! Don't those mean "dragon breath," "horse trumpet," and "silver claw" in Japanese?" Max asked.

Kit smiled. "As a matter of fact, they do." Everyone anime fell.

"Well, anyone want to test my blade??" Sakura asked excitedly. That sugar was definitely getting to her now.

"Okay!" Max said, just as perky.

Kit glared at them. Sakura hid behind Kelly, who was chuckling, and Max hid behind Tyson, who was trying to hold back his laughter. "Try not to be so perky, alright? I REALLY don't like that and it gives me a head-ache. Not a very goo way to catch me, right Sora?"

Sora nodded. Sakura and Max prepared to go against each other. "3...2...1 LET IT RIIIIIIP!!"

The two beyblades were launched and went into combat.

The entire battle lasted for about twenty minutes. In the end, Sakura just lost by Max seeing a gap in her defense and getting her out of the arena.

"Well, that was very good, both of you," Kit said. "Are you still hyper, Sakura?"

Sakura was silent for a few moments, then, "Nope. Not hyper anymore. Where's the sugar???"

Kit anime fell, then started to shake Sakura. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHERE'S THE SUGAR??!! YOU JUST WENT FROM BEING REALLY HYPER TO NOT HYPER AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR THE SUGAR??!!"

Everyone else snickered and Sakura had swirly eyes (@___@).

After Kit finally calmed down, they all had some dinner and exchanged tips on beyblading. By the time the BladeBreakers were gone, it was 9:30.

"I gotta go, Kit. See ya tomorrow!" Sakura yelled as she and the others walked off. Kit went inside and went to bad. Before she fell asleep, one thought crossed her mind. 'Rei is actually pretty cute.'
