Ok enjoy!

â€â€..---------â€â€..

Rei lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, not really thinking about anything.

"Brooding?" A voice said.

The neko-jin sat up and looked at the person who spoke. Sighing, he said, "I'm just worried...She's been gone ever since yesterday...I don't think telling her Tala was in the Abbey was a good idea."

"We don't even know she's in there-"

"Where else would she be Kai? She's in there...and you know she is."

"Maybe I do...but Korimi's tough and can handle anything that comes her way."

Sighing again, Rei laid back down. "Why are you here anyway?"

"Tyson wants to go out for dinner, and I don't want to be the only one that has to baby sit." Kai said in his usual cold voice. "Plus, you need to get your mind off the mutt."

Rei playfully glared at his captain. "You know if Korimi heard you say that she'd kill you right?"

Kai smirked. "Maybe."

Flashback

A 6-year-old Tala crouched down next to a crying 5-year-old girl. "Korimi-chan?"

The girl looked up to find the redhead looking down at her. "Tala?" He sapphire eyes were glistening from trying to hold back the tears.

"It's ok Korimi...you're ok now."

The girl shook her head. "We'll never be ok Tala." Tears started to fall. "I want mamma."

Tala held the girl in his arms, rocking her back and forth. His little sister had just been beaten by their adoptive mother, who had kidnapped them when they were only 2 and 3 years old, after their parents 'mysterious' deaths.

End of flashback

Tala sat up quickly, with cold sweat running down his face. 'Those sapphire eyes...they're so familiar.' The picture of teary sapphire eyes kept running through his mind. He looked next to him to find the spot where Korimi slept was empty. 'They're her eyes. But how? I never met her before in my life!'

Confused and somewhat worried, he looked around his small, pathetic room, and found Korimi looking out the barred window.

Flashback

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." Korimi said sitting on Tala's bed.

"Try me." The redhead responded, folding his arms and leaning against the wall.

Sighing the girl said, "I'll tell you when I think I can trust you."

"What?"

"You heard me. You have to prove that I can trust you. I may have known you in the past but you left when I was six, so I have to be sure I can trust you. Trust me." She laughed bitterly. "I've been betrayed one to many times to trust everyone I meet."

Tala nodded. "I guess I can understand that."

The girl gave him a grim smile. "You're one of the few then."

The wolf looked at her closer, trying to figure out why she looked so familiar. The only things that really stood out about her was her eyes her bangs, and her temper. Her bangs were like the exact replica of his only brown, and not as spiky, they also weren't always in her face. And her eyes looked exactly like his only a darker blue, and her attitude reminded him of himself, with maybe some of Bryan's attitude thrown in there.

She looked at him strangely, "something wrong?"

"No. Nothing at all."

End of flashback

Sighing, Korimi turned away from the window, to see Tala watching her. "How long have you been watching me?" She asked walking over and sitting on the bed. Looking at him with sapphire eyes.

"Just thinking." Tala mumbled.

"Ah. What about?"

"Why do you look so familiar to me?" He asked.

The girl was taken by surprise, she wasn't expecting that question from Tala, after their talk earlier.

Korimi looked at him a bit startled, as if she forgot he was there. "W-What?"

"I want to know why you look so familiar to me."

"Oh...um" She was cut off by a loud bell. Tala ignored the morning wake-up call and continued to look at the girl.

"Is that some kind of wake-up call?" Korimi asked, looking at the door, desperately trying to change the subject. 'Why is so difficult for me to tell him?' She thought

"Yea but we're locked in here so we can't exactly get out" Tala responded, trying to get answers.

Before Korimi could say anything, the lock on the door clicked, and the door opened, revealing the worst thing you can wake up to in the morning. Boris.

"Good. Your with me...you two will be training with me today." He smiled cruelly.

"Don't we get breakfast? We can't train to our full potential if we don't have any energy." Korimi said coldly, but there was a hint of mocking in her voice.

Smirking, Boris pulled out 2 protein bars and threw them to the 2 teens.

"There you go...now follow me." He turned and began to walk swiftly down the hall. Tala began to follow, while pealing off the wrapper of his pitiful breakfast, he was used to this so it didn't really bother him. But Korimi stayed where she was. Boris noticed that only one teen was following him and turned around to look at Korimi.

"Do you have a problem Korimi?"

The girl simply glared.

"Well girl...I have told you of the consequences of disobeying me" he said making a fist. "Are you going to sacrifice your own brother because of your stubbornness?"

'Brother?' Tala thought, stunned. 'What the HELL is he talking about?' He looked at the girl who was glaring at Boris.

With a small look of defeat, Korimi began to walk forward. Smirking, when she finally reached them, he grabbed a fistful of her hair and forced her head up so she was looking up at him.

"Don't disobey me again, or there will be hell to pay." He said dangerously. The brunette however showed no signs of emotion except pure hatred and disgust.

"You mean there isn't already hell to pay? I guess I must have over estimated you then Boris." She said just as dangerously.

Smirking, Boris tightened his grip on her before throwing her mercilessly across the hall so she hit the wall. He walked over to her body that was slumped against the wall. "You mouth off to me again and you will regret it." He said, casting a look over to Tala, who was still somewhat n a disbelieving state due to what Boris had said earlier. "Or should I say your dear brother will."

Korimi growled, getting up slowly. "Don't you dare touch him."

"The I suggest you follow orders when I give them."

The 3 entered a rather large bey stadium, which looked like a huge hole in the ground with 2 platforms on either side.

Boris took 2 beyblades out of is pocket, one silver and the other black and silver. Tossing the 2 blades back to their owners carelessly, he also gave them 2 launchers. Both launchers looked like the gun launcher Tala used against Tyson in the World Championships. Korimi's launcher was silver, while Tala's was blue.

"You two will begin your training testing your skills." Boris said. He real intention however, was to see how powerful Korimi and her bitbeast Keizer (A/N: Kai-zer) were.

Korimi and Tala moved to opposite sides of the dish to stand on the platforms.

'Sister? What did Boris mean by that?' Tala's mind wasn't even on the match, he mentally shook his head. 'Concentrate Ivanouv. You can't lose, who knows what Boris will do if you lose to an unknown blader.'

'Let's see what you've got big brother.' Korimi thought as she readied her blade.

Smirking, Boris said, "3...2..1...Let it rip!"

Ok...THAT'S ALL!!! R/R PLZ!!! This chap isn't TOO different form what it used to be, but that's ok
