Tara ran as fast as she could, back to her home.

''Tara! What's wrong dear?'' her mother asked, ''Nothing, mother...nothing, I'm just tired'' she answered and went up to her room, ''Dinner will be served soon honey!'' her mother said. Tara ran to her computer, and logged onto MSN messenger.

Kaia – Man oh man...

Says:

Yo

Tatu

Says:

Yeah?

Kaia – Man oh man...

Says:

You moved didn't you?

Tatu

Says:

None of your business

Kaia – Man oh man...

Says:

Hey take it easy! Who are you? A female version of Kai?

Tatu

Says:

Kaia – Man oh man...

Says:

Man oh man, angry woman

Tatu

Says:

Whatever...gotta go...

Kaia – Man oh man...

Says:

See you, hey you moved, so I guess not and by the way I hate you

Tatu

Says:

Good for me

Tara logged of and went down for dinner, ''Tara darling, aren't you bored at home? I can sign you up for a Martial arts team, if you want me too'' her mother said, Tara thought for a while, ''Uhm...What about Kickboxing?'' Tara asked and finished her meal, ''Okay, by the way, Max called, he needed some help'' her mother said and Tara found her shoes and went for the Beyblade shop.

''Thanks for coming Tara!'' Max greeted, ''No problem, so what's up?'' Tara asked. ''Uhm... I- We need help... The Bladebreakers, could you please be our manager?'' Max asked pleadingly. Tara was surprised, ''Sure! I would love to! But do you think the others will like me to?'' she asked nervously. ''We have discussed it, and we all voted for you! Yeah...not Kai, and I quote 'If Harada is going to be our manager, she'll gonna stalk me even more!!!' but that's his opinion'' Max grinned nervously. ''Thanks for voting for me!'' Tara said and hugged Max, he hugged back. ''And, we have a meeting later this evening, maybe you can sleep at Tyson's dojo with us!'' Max said, ''Okay! What time?'', ''6 o'clock!'' Max said.

Tara ran back to her home, and searched for her mother, ''Mom! I'm going to be the Bladebreakers manager and I'm going to a meeting with the team!'' . ''That's wonderful dear!'' her mother said and hugged her child. ''I'm going to get my stuff and I'll leave okay?'' Tara asked her mother, ''Of course''. Tara went up to her room and got her stuff, then she ran over to Tyson's dojo.

''Yo Tara!'' Tyson greeted and hugged Tara tightly, ''How are you? Are you hurt?'' Ray asked. Kai just stood on the other side, eyes closed. ''I'm okay guys! And thanks for wanting me as your manager!'' Tara thanked. ''Do you even know how to launch a Beyblade ?'' Kai's harsh voice occurred . ''I suppose you guys could learn me?'' Tara said, ''I don't even wanna waste my precious time on you'' Kai said. ''I don't even want you to'' Tara spat back at him. ''You dare talk to me like that?''.'' In fact, yes I dare''. ''Cut it out Kai and Tara!'' Ray said and parted them before they'll jump on each other. Tara glared at Kai and so did Kai, ''I'm gonna teach you!'' Tyson said and patted Tara on her back. ''Thanks Tyson!'' Tara said and hugged him. ''That's even worse...'' Kai said and sighed.

''Let's go to bed and start training tomorrow!'' Kai commanded. Kai lay on the mattress next to the door, Tyson lay next to Max and Ray. Tara lay next to Ray, she didn't want to be even near Kai, after he... lost himself.

Next morning

Ray woke Tara up early to teach her how to Beyblade, ''Do you have a blade?'' Ray asked while he was getting dressed, ''No...'' she said. ''Then I'll take you out shopping for a blade and some equipment and fingerless gloves, your hands seem sensible'' Ray said honestly about the last part and took her hands to inspect them, Tara blushed a little at this. ''Uhm Ray?'', ''Yeah?'', ''could you please let go so I can get my wallet at home?'' Tara asked nervously. ''Oh sorry!'' Ray said quickly and let go. Tara and Ray ran fast to Tara's home, she went into the kitchen, and saw a note on the fridge ;

Dear Tara

I won't be home for a year, due to some business meetings and trips.

I hope you can take care of yourself, and I left you some credit cards.

Hugs and kisses from mom

''Great...Now I'm all on my self'' Tara sighed and found her wallet and added the cards, ''Hey! You can stay with us!'' Ray exclaimed happily and Tara smiled at him, ''Then let me pack my stuff! And then we'll go'' Tara said and went up to her room with Ray slowly following. She found some clothes and other important stuff, ''I'm ready'' Tara said and pulled her stuff with her, ''Let's go to Tyson's dojo and drop your stuff'' Ray said and took 2 of the bags, while Tara took the rest, all the stuff she packed fitted in four bags.

''So do you think you can survive with us for a whole year?'' Ray asked teasingly, ''Hm...I'll try'' Tara laughed and didn't see the big lamppost in front of her, BUMP! ''Ow...'' Tara rubbed her sore head, ''Woah you all right?'' Ray asked snickering, ''I have tried worse...'' Tara smiled and kept walking till they reached the Dojo.

''Ray Kon, Where HAVE you been?! Oh Tara, how wonderful to see you dear, beds empty, no note, car gone, you could have died, you could been seen! Of course I don't blame you Tara dear'' Tyson said, Max laughed in the background. Tyson was hiding something behind his back. Tara snatched something from Tyson, it was a Harry Potter book, the second ''Quit quoting Harry Potter'' Tara smirked. ''Oh man, did you realize that, when you smirk you look like Kai-OW!'' Tyson said and Max stomped on his food. ''the Kaiser!'' Tyson quickly corrected, ''Uhm, the Kaiser of...'','' China!'' Max said quickly. Tara sweatdropped and so did Ray. ''Uhm Tyson is it okay I stay with you for a year?'' Tara asked pleading. ''Sure Tara!'' Tyson said and took her bags. ''Huh? Have you seen Mr Sourpants?'' Tyson asked, ''Yeah, he's training outside'' Max said. ''Well Tara we better leave now'' Ray said and motioned her to follow him, Tara got her wallet and followed Ray.

They went to the nearby Beyblade shop. ''Oh... that blade is so pretty'' Tara said awestruck. The attack ring was soft blue and silver colored, while the spin gear and Blade base was golden. ''Yeah it looks good to you!'' Ray commented and looked at the price, ''Not bad, do you want that one?'' ''Yeah!'' Tara said and took out her wallet and paid for the blade. Then they ran to the clothes shop, then Tara found some fingerless gloves, they were silver colored and they reached to the end of her wrist. When they arrived at Tyson's dojo, Tara began to brood the name Tatu on the gloves, with golden letters.

''So...are you ready to learn?'' Ray asked as he waited at the door, ''Okay'' Tara nodded and went out with him.

''Okay, you put your blade on your launcher like this'' Ray said as he took Tara's hands and guided them. ''Now you pull the rip cord as hard as you can'' Ray said, and when Tara did it, she elbowed Ray in the stomach, and the Beyblade landed in the stadium perfectly.

''Ow!'' Ray said as he grabbed his stomach, ''Oh my, I'm SO sorry!'' Tara said. ''It's okay, no worries'' Ray said as he showed the peace sign and smiled wide. ''Well...you better get inside before you vomit all over me'' Tara laughed. Ray went inside and caressed his stomach and Tara kept practicing unknown to her that Kai was watching, ''Hmph'' Kai said as he continued his own business.

Later when Tara was done practicing, Tyson asked :''Tara the guys and I are going to a restaurant, do you want to join us?''. ''Sure!'' Tara said as she went to get changed.

''Hurry up a bit! I'm starving!'' Tyson said, as they approached the restaurant, ''Don't worry Tyson! We're almost there!'' Tara encouraged him. ''Finally!''.

''Uhm I want everything on the menu, no...make it double'' Tyson said as he checked the menu card, Tyson sat next to Max and Kai, and Ray and Tara sat on the other side of the table. ''Uhm...noodles please'' Tara said ''Ditto here...'' Ray said and so did Max and Kai.
