"We have to find him! I hope Boris hasn't got a hold of him!" Rei exclaimed.

"Kai? Is this why I haven't heard from you in so long?" Hilary thought mentally. She stood completely still in shock.

"There is nothing we can do, I'm sorry. Russia is out of my jurisdiction so to speak." Mr. Dickinson said. "We'll just have to get more information on the Demolition Boys in Canada."

"Oh! The other team! Do you know about them?" Kenny suddenly asked.

"I believe you already know the answer to that." Mr. Dickinson replied nodding to Max.

"The All-Stars?! Alright!" Tyson exclaimed. "That means we might be battling each other Max!"

"What about you Rei? Didn't the White Tigers enter the tournament?" Hilary asked the Chinese blader who still sat in his chair.

"We were, but we all thought it best if we stayed out this time." Rei replied smiling. He really didn't mind not being able to beyblade, but he still was able to travel with his old team to Canada.

"Well then, I better let you all go. You have a little over a month to train, so good luck!" Mr. Dickinson said.

A month later...

Hilary was bounding with energy as she zipped up her suitcase, threw her purple beyblade into her backpack and raced down the stairs.

"Bye mom! See ya in a few weeks! Tell dad I'll miss him!" Hilary blurted out as she rushed for the door.

"Oh wait up honey!" Her mom called.

Hilary stopped and waited as her mom came over, carrying something in her arms.

Her mother's face seemed different this morning, almost relieved, and happy.

"I'm so glad to see that smile on your face again Hil."

Hilary smiled. Had her mom figured it out that she was worried to death about Kai?

"I heard it can get cold up in Canada, so I want you to take this." Her mom handed the item to her daughter, who gasped in disbelief.

Hilary slowly extended her arm to take the material from her mother's arm. "K...Kai's scarf?"

Her mom nodded. "I knew how upset you were when he had to leave, so I kept this out of sight....I didn't want your heart to break more. Mr. Dickinson told me about one of the teams you might be up against, and you might be able to get him back." Her mom said sweetly.

Hilary brought the soft, ruffled fabric to her face and buried her head in it. It still smelt like Kai. She looked back up at her mother, tears forming in both their eyes. Hilary remember when Kai first wrapped that scarf around her, and told her to keep it, so she would always remember him.

"Thanks mom. You've really given me strength."

Her mom smiled. "Now, you have a plane to catch! Go and win!"

Hilary smiled back and nodded. "I'll miss you mom! Bye!"

And with that, the young brunette disappeared outside.

It was around 10 pm when the BladeBreakers got off their plane at the Quebex International Airport. Everyone was tired, and Mr. Dickinson had already shown them to their hotel rooms.

"Good night everyone! You have a big day tomorrow." The elder said closing the door.

Tyson, Kenny, Rei and Hilary were left in a large room. It had a small kitchen to one side, a couch, coffee table and TV seated in front of a large sliding glass door which opened up to a patio, 3 stories above the ground. Opposite the kitchen, there were 3 doors, each spaced pretty far apart. One leading to a large bathroom, and the other two leading into seperate bedrooms, each with 2 beds inside.

"This room is huge! I've never seen anything like it before!" Tyson exclaimed, taking a tour of everything.

"The fridge even comes stocked!" Rei stated.

"Food!? FOOD!" Tyson called rushing over to the kitchen.

Rei caught him. "No, it's too late!" He said trying to push the navy haired teen away.

"Come on, let's get to bed, we have a long day of training tomorrow." Kenny said closing up Dizzi.

Hilary yawned and streched her arms behind her back. "Yeah, I'm beat! See you guys in the morning!" She said as she picked up her bag and headed for one of the rooms.

Mr. Dickinson said that she was allowed to have her own room, and everyone else was to share.

Hilary closed the door behind her and flipped on the lights. The room was a decent size, with a medium sized window right above her bed, which was carefully made up in forest green linens. The other bed was immediately across from the other one, about 5 feet apart.

She sighed sadly as she tossed her bag on one of the beds and changed into her pajamas. She walked over to the other bed and pulled down the covers.

"I wish you were here with me right now Kai..." She said outloud, realizing how lonely she was in that room. She pictured herself in his strong embrace, his warmth covering her like a thick blanket.

She sniffed back tears and crawled into the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
