Kyla woke the following morning to a delicious smell. Yawning, she sat up and looked around. Tala lay on his bunk, staring at the ceiling, while Oliver's bed lay empty. Kyla looked at the open door which led into the mini kitchen.

She laughed when she saw who was in the kitchen. "Oliver!"

The french boy turned to look at Kyla, his purple eyes sparkling. "Bacon and eggs – that's the usual."

"Gee, and I usually just have toast!"

"So does Kai," Oliver replied.

~So does Kai... Kai...! Could it be...? My dreams... Kai... Kai Hiwatari...~

Oliver interrupted Kyla's thoughts "So, I guess this is only for Tala and moi?"

"Oh! Well, since you already went to all that trouble..." Kyla started.

"Non! No trouble at all!"

"You should see when he's in a really good mood," Tala commented. "The table's all covered with fancy dishes even I don't know the names of."

"Well, what did you expect? I'm a great cook, you have to admit, and I do own all the restaurants there are in Paris." Oliver chuckled. "If you like, I can always stop cooking for you all."

Kyla laughed again. "Alright, since you say it's no trouble."
Just as she was about to get up, someone jumped down from the bunk above her. It was Kai, and he threw the plastic plate in his hand like a Frisbee into the kitchen, and into the sink.

~Wow~ Kyla thought ~how does he do that?~

Kai walked to the door leading to the boarding house hallway, but before he could open it, the knob turned and a blue haired boy stood in the doorway, waving a piece of paper in the air.

"Good morning!"

"Good bye," Kai replied, about to shove Tyson out of his way.

"Hey, at least take your new timetable, Mr Sourpuss, if you're not gonna say hi."

Kai raised an eyebrow. "New timetable...?"

"Yah," Tyson replied, showing Kai the paper. "Small change – you're in a different class for P.E. or something."

Kai took the piece of the paper from Tyson then left without a word.

"So maybe Mr Sourpuss isn't Mr Know-it-all, afterall," Tyson said sarcastically, then sniffed the air. "Bacon and eggs!! Hey, got enough for another eater?"

"Enough for another eater, but not enough for the likes of you," Tala replied, still staring at the ceiling with his usual cold look.

"Don't worry, just come on in."

"Very funny... Thanks Oliver."

** {[AN: Okay, this time it's not a blank like in Kyla's dreams, I think you all know that it means that time has passed and usually there's a location change]}

"Hey guys!" Tyson called to the group (Rei, Max, Mariah, Kenny, and Hilary) sitting at the picnic bench under a large oak tree.

"Hey Tyson, you're late," said Rei.

"Yeah, a very rare thing for Tyson to be when it comes to Lunch," Max agreed.

"Funny..." Tyson replied, making a face. "The stupid teacher kept me in..."

"Let me guess – you fell asleep in class?" Rei said.

"Yup," Tyson said. "But anyway, I'd like you to meet a new friend of mine –" He turned around, but discovered his 'friend' to have disappeared. "Uh..." Everyone sweat-dropped. "Well, she was with me a minute ago...!"

"I wouldn't be surprised if she ran off after you started – wait, did you say she?!"

Tyson nodded.

"A girl?!" Max cried. "You're not serious?!"

"Yes I am...! So what? Hilary's a girl..."

"Tyson's got a girlfriend," Mariah chanted.

"I do not!" Tyson growled back. "She... Wait a sec – I think... Yeah, there she is!" He waved at someone. "Yo, Kyla, dude!"

Two figures approached the group.

"Bonjour," Oliver greeted.

"Hey Tyson," Kyla said less joyfully.

Tyson turned back to his friends. "So, guys, this is Kyla, and you all know Oliver from the Majestics."

Everyone introduced themselves to Kyla as Tyson sat down and started to eat his lunch.

"Kyla – do you beyblade?" Kenny asked.

She nodded, then realized what the Chief's next question might be, and so avoided it by asking one of her own. "Have any of you seen Kai?"

"You know Kai?" Kenny responded, surprised.

"Yes, he's in my class."

"And they share a room in the boarding house," Tyson added with a mouthful of food. {[AN:- I know, I guess he can't really say that with a mouthful of food, but, well...]} "He's most likely training somewhere..." Then he thought of something. "Or running away from rabid fangirls! Kyla, if you want his autograph or something, don't even bother – I'll give you mine though!"

"Erm... No thanks..." Kyla replied. "Actually, I just wanted to ask him –"

"He won't answer any questions either," Dizzi informed her. "Don't expect to get a word out of him unless it's to tell you to leave him alone."

"Well... Okay..." Kyla sat down on the grass, frowning. ~Kai... He's so different... Could I be wrong? Maybe he's not who I think he is... But could there be more than one Kai Hiwatari...?~

//Kae– //

/I don't want to hear a word from you/

//But– //

/I don't care what you're about to say, just shut up!/

"So... Anyone up for a game of basketball?"

Kyla looked up at Rei and shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

"Erm, I'll just watch..." said Kenny.

The others all agreed to play, except Tyson who was still eating.

**

"Mind if we join in?" Max asked Mariam. The Saint Shields were already playing a game of basketball, but needed more players for a proper game.

"Sure, come on," Mariam smiled.

"Great, thanks."

Soon everyone was having a great time and a few others had joined in too, like Tyson, Kane, and even Tala.

"Got it!" Kyla grinned as she stole the ball from Ozuma and headed towards the goal. She could hear some people cheering, while others called for Ozuma or Joseph to get the ball.

~Nearly there...~ Kyla bounced the ball and stopped about a metre from the hoop. As she was about to throw the ball, a hand reached out from behind and pushed it from her hands, up into the air, and through the hoop.

"Oi!" Kyla turned around swiftly, expecting to see Joseph, only to look up at two cold crimson eyes.

~Kai! When did he join the game? Oh well, I can ask him now...~

"Hi, Kai," she said, slightly nervous but determined. "Hey, um, did you... do you... have any siblings?"

His eyes narrowed, his face still as unreadable as ever, then he turned around. "Wouldn't you like to know."

Kyla sighed. ~Is he, or is he not? The Kai I know has a sister and... a dog!~ She decided to try again. "Did you have a dog called Spixer?"

~What's she getting at? I never had a dog, let alone one called Spixer. What kind of name is that anyway?~ Kai started to walk off. "I have no idea."

/Dranzer?/

//Yes, master?//

/Did I used to have a dog?/

//Err... I don't know, master... I'm not sure... Sorry master//

~Maybe he's been brainwashed~ Kyla thought, disappointedly. ~Oh, that's just ridiculous...! Unless... Maybe... maybe...~ But Kyla couldn't bear to think he'd forgotten her...

SD: Yah, that's all... It's sorta random, I guess... But I had to write something to get Kyla to ask Kai those questions...

Kyla: I feel so embarrassed!

SD: *raises eyebrow* ...

Kyla: What? You made me ask those stupid questions!

Kai: And you made me answer her! I should be the one embarrassed here – I didn't even know if I had a dog or not!

SD: o.0 erm, well, anyway, I'll try to get the next chapter up soon... I'm kinda having a bit computer trouble at the moment, though...
