GOB: Hey people, I'm back. OH!!! AND THANK YOU FOR THE BISCUITS MASTERFRANNY!!! AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE PLUSHIE!!!!!!!! Kai?

Kai: Here are the bloody thank you's.

~*~ B Girl; Lychee Fairy(x2); DragonBlade(x2); Maeris(x2); Sakura9566; Syaoran-Lover; Epona2; MasterFranny ~*~

GOB: 11 reviews for two chapters... not bad.

Kai: Will you just shut up and start. No one cares about what you're writing here!

GOB: FINE!!! I don't own beyblade, just the plot. And to clear things up, THIS HAS NO YAOI BETWEEN KAI/MAX AND NO ROMANCE PERIOD!!! If anything, it may end up as a Kai/Max friendship fic. I got tired of always reading fics where it was Ray/Rei who's the one who "becomes the closest friend to Kai" or sometimes even Tyson. *Sigh* The cute-adorable-sugar-high-blondie gets no recognition.... poor, poor Max...

Max: *sniffs* Yeah, poor, poor me...

Kai: Oh God, I have got to find better fics to be in... and better co-stars too...

GOB/Max: Poor, poor Max/me...

Kai: *walks away muttering about how someday he'll kill GOB for writing this fic and Dangerous Memories...*

~*~ Max's P.O.V. ~*~

*~* What's Going Through His Mind As He Races To Find The Others, Get To Russia, And Find Kai *~*

Damn it. Not there. Damn it. Not there. Damn it. Not there. Damn it. Not there. WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?????????

Christ, I'm about to explode, I can't find Tyson, Kenny, or Rei ANYWHERE!!! We've got to get to Russia as fast as possible! I don't understand one thing, well a lot of things, but one thing in particular. Why? Why Russia? Why of all the damn places he could've gone, why did he choose Russia?

I mean, wouldn't that just bring him even more pain. I may not be an expert of pain, after all, who would think that me, happy-go-lucky Max Mizuhura of the famous Bladebreakers ever felt sad in his life?

But I have. About a lot of things. After my parents split up, and my Mom moved to America. I hardly ever saw her, or even heard from her. It really hurt when I found out she was part of the All Starz and had never told me. But more so the way she treated me, the fact she seemed so distant, as if I was just another beyblader to fight against, an enemy, an outsider....

an outsider...

an outsider...........

AN OUTSIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god... I never realized... Treating someone as an outsider is when you always ignore them, don't ask them their opinion on anything, or if you do, don't take it to heart, if you always notice the differences between each other. But treating someone like an outsider also means when you try to change them to fit what you call "normal".

That was how we treated Kai.

Not as another person in his own right, but as someone who needed to be molded, conformed, into our definition of "normal".

He was right, we didn't understand...

Hell, we didn't even try to..................

*~* On The Plane, What Kai Is Writing In His Journal *~*

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother. I should have just never left the freaking abbey. At least there I never had to worry about still feeling alive. I'm dead. As dead as can be. In the abbey, being dead was the only way to survive. But now, I'm trying to live when I've been dead for almost my whole life. I let the darkness surround me, and now, there is no escaping from the fortress in which I've locked myself into and thrown away the key.

_____*_____ Never to be set free,

_____*_____ Always to be bleeding red.

_____*_____ Making sure that you can't see,

_____*_____ These thought inside my pounding head.

_____*_____ My soul is forever shrouded in darkness,

_____*_____ My heart has become a block of stone.

_____*_____ What little good I have is becoming less,

_____*_____ I shall always be the one alone.

*{*{*{ That poem was written by ME on the spur of the moment, so please tell me HONESTLY what you think. Thanks }*}*}*

I am grateful about one thing though. I left before I could really hurt them. Leaving them for the Demolition Boys is nothing compared to the hurt and pain I know I'll cause them in the future. Because that is all I ever cause. Pain, destruction, those are what I truly am, none of the light within the dark. I am pure darkness. I am pure evil. I am my Grandfather's perfect weapon...

And he knows it...

~*~ Rei's P.O.V. ~*~

This is it. Okay Rei, deep breaths, in, out, in, out. Damn it. Who am I kidding? There is no way I can possibly be calm after everything that just happened here. I still can't believe Kai left. I mean, he's always been the unstoppable one, the unbeatable one, the unhurtable one.

Or at least that's what I always thought. He always seemed to have an answer for everything, and always had the solution to our many problems. Yet he let us figure them out ourselves, with carefully placed hints. He helped us more than we ever realized. I guess it's true what they say; you never know how important someone is to you, until they're gone...

I still remember how Kai always seemed to be watching us, grading us, and how much his... how much his acceptance, his approval, meant to us, or at least to me.

Ever since the first time I met Kai, I respected him. Maybe it was because of his reputation, or because of his cold demeanor. Or maybe it was because of the confidence he had.

Confidence.. Not a huge ego, or even arrogant. It was always confidence that had him say what he did. When he battled other bladers, and said that they would lose to him, in that calm, cold voice, it wasn't because he was being egotistical, it was because it was the truth. Chances were very high that they wouldn't beat him.

But he always seemed to know when he would lose. I remembered that look of surprise, then frown, and then acceptance, right at the begging of the third match against Tyson when we all first met. He knew he was going to lose. I think he also knew he was going to lose against Johnny and Spencer too.

There's just too much we don't know about him yet. It's strange to think, he knows a lot about us, probably more than we even realize. Yet we still hardly know anything about him. Not the abbey, or his Grandfather, but the important stuff. Like what his likes and dislikes are, what his favorite food is, what he likes to do in his spare time, anything that would classify us as true friends...

True friends....

This may sound crazy, but I don't think we're even good friends. We don't really share our problems, or at least he doesn't share them with us. How can we be friends when we can't talk about our problems with one another.

Maybe Kai was right, maybe we aren't friends, maybe not just yet...

But I'm willing to give it my all, just to go find him and try to become his friend. Because I respect him. He's a good person, just a very mysterious, good person. And I think we all realize that now.

Now....

More than ever...

~*~ Tyson's P.O.V. ~*~

ARGH!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS HIS PROBLEM??? FIRST, HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT US, THEN HE LEAVES US, THEN HE RETURNS, AND NOW HE LEAVES US AGAIN!!!!! I WISH HE NEVER CAME BACK!!!!! I WISH I NEVER MET THE SO-CALLED 'GREAT' KAI HIWATARI!!!!! SCREW HIM! HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT US, HE NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL!!!

Damn, who am I kidding? This was in no way his fault. He just played the cards that were dealt to him...

And what lousy cards they are. But he still managed to achieve something more, something great. He kept fighting for what he wanted in life, not what his demented, megalomaniac of a Grandfather wanted. He became one of the fiercest, most talented, and yes, most respected bladers, and people, that the world has ever known.

I guess that's why so many people look up to him. He's blood and flesh proof that you can achieve anything you set your mind to, no matter what the odds.

I never admitted this to anyone, but I think I respect Kai more than any other person I've ever met. When I first met him, I thought he was all talk, no action, but he proved to me that not all punks are know-nothings. Heh, Kai would kill me twenty times over if he heard me call him a punk.

But, it would be worth it...

If he would come back and kill me, or yell at me, just once more, I would not complain at all. Just as long as he came back.

I guess I owe him a lot. If he hadn't come and beat me back when we first met, I would never have trained so hard, never have gotten Dragoon, and never have gotten to where I am today.

I'd be just another amateur beybalder with big dreams, and there are like what? A billion on Earth? Yeah, I owe him a lot.

And that is why I'm going to help find him, and help him through this mess. Because that's what friends do for each other...

And I finally think I'm ready to truly be one of his friends, the Great Kai Hiwatari's, no air quotations around the great at all this time...

~*~ Kenny's P.O.V. ~*~

I...

Can't...

Believe...

It...

All this time, I always assumed that Kai was just cold and arrogant because he choose to be. Yet I was undeniably... wrong.

About him, who he is, why he acts the way he does, and how he feels.

I admit we were never very close, but deep down I admired his ingenuity. He manages to come up with strategies and tactics Dizzi and I, and no other computer, will ever think up. He always seemed to not care what was happening in the beydish and out, but now, I realize he was watching much more closely then I ever imagined.

I always got irritated and frustrated with him for only pointing out the flaws in my designs, tactics and strategies, and how the others bladed. But now, I think I've discovered why.

It was to help us, it was always to help us.

What good is knowing how good a beyblade is, if you don't know the flaws. Even a single flaw could bring you to defeat, and that was what Kai was trying to teach us.

He always got us to think on our own. He seldom spoke, but when he did, it was usually something which would help us out in the future, though we never realized, he was, no IS, the best team captain in the sport of beybalding.

Not because he tells us what to do, how to blade, how to defeat and opponent and claim victory, but how to not need that. To be able to think on our own, be independent. Be strong.

And that is why we need him...

~*~ Mr. Dickinson's P.O.V. ~*~

I hope I did the right thing.

Letting him go.

I hope he will be okay.

Letting the Bladebreakers know where he was headed may have been a mistake.

I hope I did the right thing.

Letting these doubts fill my head won't help.

I hope... I just hope that he will be able to find peace.

But the chances...

Are not...

Good..

At all...

GOB: Damn, that took long.

Kai: And once again you had to rely on Jade (Lychee Fairy) as a sounding board for your ideas, pathetic.

GOB: Shut up Kai.

Kai: I'd like you to see you try and make me!
