Note: The fic started three years (I made them 13 at the start of the series) after the series. Please keep in mind that it's been a VERY long time since I watched Beyblade so forgive me if I made a few mistakes.

Bladed Moon

Prologue: Meeting Kenny's friend from Japan

*~*~*~*~*

Sixteen-year-old Kenny couldn't hold his excitement as he stared at his laptop.

"Are you sure Dizzi?" the smart brown-haired boy asked his bitbeast/laptop.

"Of course Chief, I'm always 100 percent sure." stated Dizzi in its computerized voice.

"Alright!" exclaimed Kenny happily.

Picking up the phone, Kenny proceeded to call his friends.

~ At the Airport ~

"Jeez Chief, slow down a little. I swear your worse than Tyson," said Max as Kenny literally shoved them inside the plane.

"Yeah..hey wait a minute. Are you insulting me?" exclaimed the blue-haired teenager, glaring at his blonde friend.

"Gee…where should I start?"

"…." said Kai, ignoring the two bickering at each other and took his seat.

'Oh boy. This is going to be a long ride,' thought Ray glumly.

"All right. That's enough," said the jet-black haired teen calmly and dragged the two to their seats.

He then took his seat near the silver-haired teen.

"This is going to such fun guys. I just know it!" said Kenny excitedly as he took his seat between Ray and Kai.

His responses where a couple of grumbles and murmurs.

After a few hours after the plane had took off, Tyson glanced back to find Kenny busy typing at a fast pace.

"Hey Chief?"

"What?" asked Kenny, his eyes fixed on his laptop.

"You haven't told us much about this "what's-his-name" so..."

"So spill Chief. Tell us all about him," said Max, who had woken up from his nap.

"Her name's Serena but I usually call her Ren. She's sixteen and one of my closest friends. We met when we were competing at the Hong Kong Beyblade Tournament and we just clicked. We swapped email addresses and since her dad's a Beyblade mechanic, I asked her if I could possibly upgrade my Beyblade to a faster model. I just got her reply this morning and she said that she'll mail the spare parts to me."

"Then why did you dragged us halfway around the world?"

"I'm getting to that part Tyson. Truthfully, I want you guys to meet her and also since it'll take forever for the parts to reach my house I decided to visit her and get the parts myself,"

"So you just want to visit her because of the parts, Chief?" said Ray.

Max grinned knowingly. "I dunno Ray..I don't believe that you guys are just 'friends'..if you know what I mean."

Tyson slyly grinned. "Yeah..maybe he isn't going just for the parts but.."

"No, No! Absolutely not!" exclaimed Kenny, blushing furiously.

"You're such a bad liar Chief," stated Dizzi.

"Dizzi!"

Turning to Ray, Kenny added, "Surely you don't believe them Ray."

Ray glanced at Max and Tyson before his golden eyes shifted to Kenny, he said nothing but his lips twisted into a teasing smile.

Kenny understood the hidden message well.

"Not you too Ray!" he whined, frowning slightly.

"We're here," muttered Kai who was looking out of the plane's window.

'Thank Heavens..' thought Kenny as he and the rest of the guys begun to retrieve their dufflebags from the hanger, fighting at the same time to keep down the blush that began to creep at his face.

~ Tokyo, Japan's Airport ~

"There's too many people! I can't see!" said Max frustratingly as the five wormed their way into the large crowd coming in and out of the landing area.

The other guys nodded their heads.

In their frustration, they didn't notice several girls drooling and swooning at them.

"Oh Kami-sama! Did you see that silver-haired hottie?" exclaimed one of them.

"What about the black-haired one? Isn't he dreamy?" swooned another.

"The one with the brown hair is such a cutie!" exclaimed yet another.

"Do you think the blue-haired one will go out with me?"

"Look at the blonde one! Doesn't he look cool?"

Puberty had certainly been a good friend to the boys. They had grown much taller and more muscular, loosing the remains of their baby fat. Their clothes are still the same except that they're several inches bigger to fit them. The only difference was that Kenny now wore pants instead of his trademark shorts and black shoes instead of his sneakers and that Max replaced his orange jumper with khaki (otherwise known as botic in the Phil's) pants.

Kai got rid of the red and blue paint powdered on his face while Kenny had finally opened his eyes, (revealing them to be a deep blue) ditched the glasses and wore contacts instead, he had also grown paler, loosing his tan. Max freckles disappeared and Tyson's face became leaner due to the lost of his baby fat.

"How are we suppose to find this Ren?" asked Ray as they continued to moved through the crowd.

"Look for a blonde-silver haired girl holding a sign that has our names on it." replied Kenny.

"There she is!" he exclaimed, pointing to his left.

The guys turned to see where Kenny was pointing and their breath got caught in their throats.

Waving at them in greeting was a vision of sheer loveliness. Blonde-silver hair twisted into buns at each side of her head while the rest cascade down to her ankles in streamers, framing the heart-shaped face. Clear blue eyes of sapphire gazed at them, luscious pink lips curled up in a smile.

Clad in a white-and-blue stripped blouse that outlined her slender figure and blue flare pants, white sandals each strapped on her heels, Serena called out.

"Hey guys! Over here!"

The guys were rooted to their spots, their jaws hanging open in awe.

Kenny was the first to snap out of it and rushed over to the girl gleefully and hugged her, dropping his dufflebag in the process.

"Ren! It's great to see you again! It's been such a long time,"

Serena punched him playfully on the arm. "You didn't mentioned to me that you bought friends. Care to introduce me to them?"

Kenny looked back to find his friends approaching them, dufflebags in hand (including Kenny's).

"Sorry guys, guess I forgot. Heh Heh," said Kenny sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.

"Serena this Ray, Tyson, Max and.."

"Kai, yes I know." said Serena, a smile on her lips.

Kai handed to Kenny his dufflebag before he turned to stare at Serena.

"…"

"Well?"

"?" Kai threw her a questioning look.

"Aren't you going to hug me?" continued Serena, tapping her foot impatiently. "I'm waiting."

Much top the other guy's shock, Kai smiled and gave Serena a hug.

"It's good to see you again Serenity," he muttered as the hug ended.

"Likewise Silver, likewise."

"You too know each other?" asked Max incredulously.

"Oh course." replied Serena.

"He is my cousin after all."
