wow! People accually read the first chapter! Thanks for the reviews!

I had a hard time trying to start this chapter, so I'm hoping it turned out alright.

^_^

-------------------------------------------------------

Hilary looked about her. She was on the beach....the same beach which Kai first told her how he felt, and where she did the same.

"What's going on? How did I get outside?" She wondered to herself.

Suddenly, there was a swirl of air behind her, kicking her thick brown hair in front of her face.

She flicked it back and turned around. She gasped at what she saw.

A familiar figure stood not too far off from her, his back turned to her. His blue hair blew in the wind, along with a long white scarf which fluttered behind him.

"K....Kai!?" She reached her arm out to him, and began to walk over. "Is it really you? I didn't think I would see you again! Where have you been? I've missed...." She stopped as Kai turned around to face her.

His face was harsh, angry. His crimson eyes flashed with hatred, scaring her slightly.

"Kai?" She asked again.

"Stay where you are! I don't have any intention to see you again! You are such a stupid, desperate girl." He chuckled. "I never want to see you again!"

Tears immediatly began to fall from Hilary's eyes. "W...what are you saying Kai?"

"You know EXACTLY what I'm saying!" Kai's voice began to fade away, and soon, his image was gone.

Hilary fell to her knees in the sand. "What's happened to you Kai.....KKKKAAAAAAIIIII!!!!" She called out with tears now flowing freely from her eyes.

Hilary shot up straight in her bed, breathing heavily. Using the sleeve of her pajamas, she quickly wiped away the tears from her cheeks.

"It....it was just a nightmare....." She told herself. "Kai....he wouldn't say something like that....would he?"

She glanced over at her alarm clock just as it began to ring.

"School.....I wish I didn't have to go...." She groaned as she got out of her warm bed. She made her way over to her closet to pick out her normal clothes and then headed to the shower.

"Alright class! Welcome back. It's time to take your seats so we can begin." Mrs. Kinkade said in her soft voice.

Hilary sighed and took her seat. She glanced over to her left behind her to see Kenny, typing on Dizzi as always.

"Hey Kenny, any mail from Kai?" Hilary asked, her voice full of optimism.

"I don't know, let me check." Kenny replied smiling. Everyone, even Max and Rei, knew how worried Hilary was about Kai. Rei and Max had visited recently from their home countries, but no one had heard from Kai! It wasn't fair....

"No....sorry Hilary....nothing." Kenny replied after a few moments.

"Oh....ok...thanks." She said softly and turned around to face the teacher.

Mrs. Kinkade began her lesson, and about 10 minutes later, Tyson came bardging through the door.

"Sorry I'm late!" He announced to everyone as he quickly made his way to his seat in the back of the room, next to Hilary.

"Hey, you alright?" He asked as he sat down.

Hilary didn't answer. The navy haired blader looked back at Kenny, who just shook his head.

Soon, the class was over, and the rest of the day flew by.

Hilary grabbed her books from her locker and stuffed them into her backpack. She turned and began to walk out of the building.

"Hey Hilary! Wait up!" Kenny called, rushing over to her with Tyson.

"Mr. Dickinson wants to talk to us right now!" Tyson said.

"Ok. I'll walk with you guys then." She said, forcing a smile on her face.

After a 15 minute walk, and a bus ride, the 3 bladers arrived at the BBA, and made their way up to the top floor of the building into Mr. Dickinson's office.

"Hello there! I trust everyone is doing well." Mr. Dickinson smiled as the team filed into the large office.

"Rei! Max!" Tyson exclaimed, seeing their friends already seated and patiently waiting from them.

"When did you guys get here?!" Hilary asked, hugging Rei.

"A few hours ago. How are you doing Hil?" Rei replied, looking down into her eyes.

"I'm okay." She said, trying to hide her worry.

She then exchanged a hug with Max.

"Alright, I have something very important to talk to you all about." Mr. Dickinson began, sitting down in his leather chair.

Everyone took a seat close to the large oak desk.

"As you all have probably relized, the year is coming to an end, and the next World Championships are coming up soon! You know that you have to defend your title."

"Oh yeah! Where's it going to be held this time?" Kenny asked.

"Canada...and there is going to powerfull teams there." Mr. Dickinson replied.

"Canada?" Everyone gasped.

"What a weird place to hold a championship!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Tyson!" Hilary jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow.

"This time, the championship is going to be arranged differently. Since you are the defending team, you have nothing to worry about, but other teams from across the world are competing in their own local tournaments. There are only going to be 3 teams at the championships." Mr. Dickinson explained.

"Only 3?" Kenny asked. "That's strange..."

"Yes...and I've recieved word on one of the teams going....the Demolition Boys."

"What!?" Everyone exclaimed.

"I thought they broke apart when Voltaire and Boris were arrested and Kai shut down BioVolt." Rei said.

"Yes....but it appears Boris didn't stay long in prison after Voltaire's death." Mr. Dickinson's voice became gloomy.

"That means....." Hilary started.

"I know...."

"Kai's in danger!"
