The Search For the Keeper

Chapter 3: Destination Reached

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"...."

"Are we there yet?"

"NO TYSON WE ARE NOT THERE YET!" Shrieked Hilary, her left eyebrow twitching. Max and Zeo were struggling to hold back Hilary so she wouldn't strangle Tyson.

"Fine I won't ask you anymore." Tyson pouted, sulking in his seat beside Hilary.

"Thank-you." Hilary sighed, plopping down on her seat. After awhile, the occupants on the bus slumbered off to a dreamless sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hilary woke up with a feeling of warmth around her and she really didn't want to wake up because she was so comfortable. She snuggled closer to the warmth and put her head on it, just relaxing.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tyson woke up with the feeling of warmth in his arms. He was holding something warm and didn't want to let go, so he just tightened his hold on the warmth and crushed it to his chest, before falling asleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The bus gave a lurch and stopped. Tyson and Hilary's eyes snapped open at the sudden roughness. Tyson looked down and noticed he was holding someone, more importantly he was holding Hilary!

When Hilary opened her eyes, she came upon a shirt she was clutching. She recognized it as Tyson's and she slowly moved her head to look at his face. They were staring at each other, their faces a little ways apart.

"Okay, everybody off the bus." Mr. Dickinson calmly stated from the front of the bus. Hilary and Tyson jumped apart at the voice and looked to the other occupants of the bus. The others were just beginning to wake up. They stepped off the bus and stood in front of the stadium.

"Kami-sama..." Hilary breathed out, staring in awe at the building. The others just nodded their heads; their mouths wide open, looking at the wondrous building.

The stadium looked to be made of glass. You could see through it because the outside was covered with glass. It was a circular building and the roof was dome-shaped. The roof was the only part not made of glass. This was so, because the roof could be opened up to let fresh air in on a warm sunny day, and since it was June, it was open. People were gathered outside the building in lines, trying to get in to see the opening ceremony. There were people of all ages to see the participants of the tournament. The oldest participants in the tournament were in their late twenties while the youngest were teens, the age if sixteen.

"This way, this way, follow me," urged Mr. Dickinson, leading the group a little way around the back of the stadium where special guests arrive. Mr. Dickinson showed their tickets to the security guards and they went into the stadium. They passed through the halls where doors were situated on both sides. On the doors were various team names that were participating in the tournament. As they passed those doors, they could hear the occupants' muffled voices talking very solemnly to each other, preparing for the tournament. However, they came across one door where they heard laughter. This was strange because every other door they passed, they heard serious talking. They never expected to pass a room where laughter could be heard.

"Stop it guys!" A giggling voice could be heard through the door. A look of awe crossed the faces of the gang outside the door where they were hearing the laughter.

"Wow! How could they be so calm before the tournament?" Max gasped out, goggling at the door.

"I don't know, but I would be nervous at a time like this. I mean, they're going against the best bladers in the world and those bladers are probably more experienced than them. From the sound of it, they're probably not much older than we are." Zeo said.

"Ya, well some people can be naïve, right Tyson?" Rai sarcastically said, turning to Tyson, with a smug look on his face. Tyson didn't really pick up on the sarcasm in the words indicated by Rai.

"Yaa...I guess." Tyson hesitantly said, looking around. Sweat-drops formed on his friends heads and they turned away from him.

"What? What happened?" Tyson gasped out, looking at his friends and waving his arms at them.

"Ummm...didn't you pick up the sarcasm when Rai said that?" Kenny said slowly to Tyson, as if he was talking to a five-year old child.

"Huh, sarcasm?" Tyson said, with a blank look on his face.

"Rai was implying that you're naïve Tyson." Kai muttered out, rolling his eyes.

"Now, why would I be naïve?" Tyson retorted, puffing out his chest and crossing his arms.

"Well, you always get cocky when you battle, you battle like you're going to win, you look down on others, you don't believe there are others better than you..." Hilary listed out, ticking them off with her fingers.

"Okay, okay, I get it, jeez." Tyson mumbled sulkily, turning back to Mr. Dickinson who was already near the exit that led to the stadium.

"Come along, we don't want to be late!" Mr. Dickinson yelled out, while the rest sped up to begin taking their seats.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Please, *giggle* you guys. *laugh* Stop it! *snicker* I can't breathe." Lily managed to get out, trying to get Jun off of her and to stop tickling her.

"No, I think we'll let Jun continue," laughed Shina as she watched Lily rolled around the floor trying to stop Jun from tickling her.

"I'll only stop if you say it." Jun taunted, tickling Lily's sides.

"Okay I forgive you!" Lily gasped out in between her laughter. Jun stopped her torture and stepped away to stand beside Haoma in the team's comfortable room.

"There, everyone's fine and dandy. There's a load off my conscience. At least you aren't mad at me anymore." Jun happily answered.

"Yes, we couldn't have that happen, now could we?" Shina said, sarcasm dripping out of each word, but her grin lessened the effect because they knew she was kidding. They got used to her sarcasm and never took it seriously.

"I wasn't mad." Lily stated turning away from Jun. She was greeted with looks of disbelief from her other team members.

"Okay, maybe I was a bit mad, but now I'm not, since I have my clothes back!" Lily shouted, pouncing on Jun and hugging her for returning her clothes before the tournament.

"Of course I was going to return your clothes. I wasn't going to let you wear that, it was disgusting." Jun replied, scrunching up her face in disgust at the uniform in the corner of the room.

"Oh...I know what we can do." Shina drew out, in an eerie voice, while creeping towards Liz.

"What can we do?" Liz questioned nervously, while stepping away from the deranged maniac, formally known as their friend Shina who had a disturbing gleam in her eyes.

"LET'S BURN THE UNIFORM!" Shrieked Shina, throwing her hands in the air. Everyone else fell over anime style, sweat-drops forming at the back of their head. It seemed that their crazy and troubled friend was back.

"She's bbaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk...." Lily drew out with her eyes bulging out as Shina picked up the uniform.

"Wait, you can burn it at home, Shina." Jun, the voice of reason, said to her, while holding onto her so she wouldn't leave the room to look for a place to burn it.

"Okay. I was just joking anyways." Shina calmly stated with mischief showing in her reddish-violet eyes.

"Whatever." Haoma answered, shaking her head at Shina's antics. Everybody on their team had gotten used to the crazy ideas that Shina comes up with and even joined in her jokes and little escapades. They named that side of Shina as her alternate personality. It was quite amusing and hilarious if the jokes weren't done on you.

"Wait, I wanna burn it at home." Lily yelled to the others. "I never want to experience that again." She gasped out, shivering at the mere sight of the tacky uniform in Shina's hands.

"Just what we need, a good old burning ritual outside in the forest. Maybe we could dance around the burning uniform too." Shina sarcastically said.

"Didn't we get caught by the police, when we did that last time, minus the dancing part?" Jun questioned, scratching her head in thought.

"Oh ya, what were we burning again?" Lily inquired.

"We were burning pictures that showed us wearing dresses." Haoma responded to the group.

"Oh ya, I never want to wear dresses again. I hate fancy dresses." Shina shuddered, just thinking about the day where they were forced to dress up to go to a fancy banquet that the BBA held.

"Okay, hate to break the fun, but we got to get serious. Today's the opening ceremony and tomorrow the tournament begins. Here's the plan..." Liz rambled on, while everyone except Jun listened. No one seemed to notice Jun wasn't listening and was staring at the door. Jun was deep in thought. 'What was that feeling? I'm sure I remember getting that feeling.....' Jun's eyes widened in realization, 'OMG, it's the same feeling I get when my brother's around, that twin bond. But how and why did he come here? Does he know I'm here? Maybe I'm just over-reacting.' She shook her head to clear it, but that feeling stayed with her. 'Maybe he is here, I'll just have to find out later. Mmmmm, if he is here, maybe I can get him and Haoma together. Oooooo, I hope he is here, at least I'll have something to do, and I've missed him. But before I get them together, I have to beat him up. Jeez, three years and I've heard nothing from him, no letter, phone call, or drop-in to see me. He'll get a piece of my mind.' Jun mentally nodded to herself, before turning back to listen to Liz. Little did she know, that the object of her thought was having the same feeling.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mr. Dickinson had found their seats very close to the front of the stadium and they were all sitting down waiting for the opening ceremony to start.

'Ever since I passed that door, I've been getting this weird feeling.' Kai thought, staring intently at his feet. 'It's familiar, but I can't put my... wait, I know this feeling, what did she always call it...twin bond. It's got to be her, she's here, but why and where.' Kai looked around the stadium. Trying to get a glimpse of his twin sister that he hadn't seen in three years.

"What's wrong Kai?" Rai asked.

"Nothing." He answered back, going back into thought. 'I wonder how she looks now, I haven't seen her in awhile, she'll probably yell at me for not visiting her.' Kai smiled one of his rare smiles, a true smile, just thinking about his caring sister. 'I wonder...will SHE be with my sister. I hope SHE is. What am I thinking about, get a hold of yourself.' Kai fought with himself while the opening ceremony started.

"Welcome everybody to the LEGENDS TOURNAMENT!" The announcer roared out to the cheering crowd.

"Okay, let's start out introducing the teams. The oldest team in this tournament is..." The announcer rambled on as Rai droned out. He turned to Kai, and saw him having an argument with himself in his head; you could see it in his yes. Rai tried to stifle back his laughter to look at his other teammates. Max and Zeo were leaning towards the other seats in front of them, with their head resting on their arms; they looked bored. Kenny was typing in his laptop and Hilary was looking at what he was writing and questioning him about it. The only one who looked interested was Tyson. He was hanging onto every word the announcer said. He was thinking that maybe he could challenge some of them to a friendly battle. Rai, as well as all the others, turned back to the announcer to listen to the final team that was being introduced.

"Lastly, the previous world champions are to be introduced. This team is automatically in the finals, since they are the previous champions, and the other teams will battle it out to face them." The announcer stated into his microphone.

"Now, I would like to introduce TEAM CELESTIA!" He shouted as the crowd went wild.

"Must be popular." Hilary said, leaning forward to see the previous champions.

"Yup, it's an all girls beyblading team. They are said to be very good and tough to beat." Kenny informed Hilary.

"Really? Cool!" Hilary shrieked turning to see the girl beyblading team.

"First, I would like to introduce the defence of the team, the lovely Lily!" The announcer shouted at the crowd, as a pretty teen stepped out and started walking into the middle of the stadium waving at the crowd and flashing her emerald green eyes at them, her smile lighting up the arena. Max's head shot up and he gasped at the golden-blonde beauty.

"Wow..." He breathed out, his eyes never leaving her.

"Oh, does someone have a crush?" Zeo teased Max, poking his ribs. Max just turned away, a blush forming on his cheeks.

"Next, we have the offence of the team, the stunning Shina!" The announcer announced next. A brown-haired girl with red streaks skipped across the stadium and stood beside Lily, waving at the crowd. This time it was Zeo, whose head shot up at the girl walking.

"Oh, now who has the crush?" Max teased back, poking Zeo in his ribs. Zeo turned away with a blush forming on his cheeks. (Déjà vu?)

"Now, I would like to introduce the captain of Team Celestia. You never want to mess with her, here's..."
