Hello once again. I'm sure that by now it's pretty obvious that Kai and Ruby are gonna be together, and if you hadn't figured that out by now, then all I have to say is, you're slower than I am.

Disclaimer: (this is getting quite old isn't it?) I don't own Beyblade, only my oc's.

~^ Chapter 7 – Secrets Revealed ^~

Kai recalled when he had listened to Rei and the others talk about Ruby. And how Rei had reminded them how he had known her, and that when they were six, she just disappeared.

"Ya I remember him saying that." Kai answered after awhile.

"My dad told Rei, that I had been sent to some school, but in reality, I was...I was taken to the abbey." Ruby mumbled, but Kai was still able to hear her. "Dana went too, and that's how we actually know Tala. But you probably don't really remember me all to well."

"I think I do." Kai muttered. It's true, he was starting to have memories of Ruby flooding back into his mind, and he allowed a small smile to plant itself on his features. "Didn't I make up a nickname for you?"

"Ya, you did, but I made one for you as well. Now didn't I ... Baby Blue!" Ruby snickered slightly. "But anyway, Dana and I both escaped the abbey last year. Dana moved back in with her mother, and I went back to my dad."

"How did you escape?" Kai asked, his curiosity taking over.

"Well, I'm really good at sneaking around, but it was partly pure brute force." Ruby stared down at her hands, like she had never seen them before in her life. "Kai, do you remember, how when I was little, and when I was at the abbey, how I always wore a little black ribbon on my head, that looked like cat ears?" Ruby asked, motioning with two of her fingers (AN/ ya know like Dr. Evil in the Austin Power movies when he says laser.) when she said ribbon.

"Ya, I remember that." Kai stared at her, completely confused.

"Well...those weren't ribbons." Ruby lifted her hand to her head where her dark blue toque was placed snugly around her head. She then gently lifted it from her skull, and when she did so two small, black cat ears were shown perched on top of her head, with tips of silver. (AN/ like InuYasha's, except black, and more cat-like) "Kai. I'm not a complete human, only half."

Kai stared at the ears perched on Ruby's head, for some reason, he wanted to touch them, but he held himself back. 'Later.' He thought. "What's your other half then?"

"Well, my other half is demon, panther demon to be exact. But I haven't gotten all of my abilities in control, so my father helps me train, so I can learn to control them." Ruby explained.

"What about your mother?" Kai asked after a short silence. Ruby lowered her head slightly, so her bangs were shielding her face from Kai's gaze.

"She passed away when I was little." She mumbled, almost in a whisper. "But, anyway, it's getting dark, and I should probably go and find Dana. Good night Kai." Ruby stood up from the grass covered ground she and Kai were sitting on, put her hat back over her head, so it covered up her ears, and walked in the direction of the path she had discovered, but stopped and turned so she was facing Kai again.

"You can tell the others if you like, I don't mind, it's better if they know."

Kai nodded and watched as Ruby disappeared though the wall of trees, after she had completely vanished from view, Kai stood up, and went to find the others.

"Hey do you guys know where Ruby is?" Dana had found Tyson and the others, excluding Kai, all practicing in the park. She had returned all of her belongings back to Ruby's house, but found out that her friend wasn't there, so she was know looking for her.

"She was here a while ago, she probably went home." Rei was the first to answer.

"Damn it to hell! I wanted to battle her tonight!" Dana stomped her foot on the ground and crossed her arms. "Wait a minute! Why don't I battle one of you guys instead?!"

"You mean beyblading right?" Tyson asked, just to make sure ya know.

"No I mean a cooking battle, of course I mean beyblading you dolt!" Dana shook her head. "Who to battle, lets see here...how bout' you Max, I haven't seen you battle yet."

"Alright, let's go!" Max excitedly exclaimed, as he took out his trusty blade, along with his launcher, and ready himself for the upcoming match.

Dana did the same with her beyblade and launcher, while getting into her ready position. "You ready Max? I aint going to go easy on ya!"

"Same here." Max replied, a small grin appearing on his features.

"3...2...1... Let it Rip!" The two of them shouted at once, and immediately launching their blades afterwards. At the exact moment Dana's black and purpled blade touched the surface of the ground, it went on the attack, sending sparks in every direction. Dana's blade was slowing pushing Max's backwards, slightly overwhelming it with its power.

"Time to end this...Vivoria! Silver Thunder!" Dana shouted to her blade, which began to glow with a golden aura. Then with an almost blinding flash of golden light, a powerful unicorn, with a horn, and wings of gold, flew out of Dana's blade, and landed in front of it's mistress. Seconds after her appearance, Vivoria stomped her hooves on the ground, and sent a bolt of pure white light at Max's green blade, and hit it head on. The force of the bolt was so immense, that it lodged Max's blade into a near by tree.

"Add another notch to my winning side please!" Dana grinned and opened her palm, allowing her beyblade to fly into it. She then looked down at her wristwatch, which said that it was 6:50 pm.

"Oh Crap! Ruby's going to kill me! Sorry if I smashed your blade Max!" Dana then pocketed her beyblade, and ran off in the direction of Ruby's household.

Max walked over to the tree, which he had his beyblade imbedded in. He raised his hand, and made a tight grip around his blade, and pulled it out of the trees hard bark, and not quite easily I might add.

"Well at least my blade isn't broken." He sighed in relief and pocketed his battered up blade, which Kenny could fix in about a minute.

All right! Another chappy done. So was that a surprise? Or not? Tell me in your reviews please, oh that reminds me...PLEASE REVIEW!
