Awesome! That's a pretty good amount of reviews for starters! Thanks! And I'm off of writer's block, so you should expect longer chapters! Wah, but I'm still on artist's block, which is the worst of all! More then writer's block!!! Well, enough of this, you didn't come here to hear me whine, so here it is. Chapter 3.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Kai was back to his senses, he looked around, but Rikku was gone.

2 years later

Rikku was...well, lets say she wasn't in the best mood ever. She had gone around as a mysterious blader, always with a cloak. Having throwing her old blade to Kai a few years ago, she had a new blade. Very similar looking, with Shade, but it didn't hold a bit beast.

It had been 2 years since his last meeting with Rikku. Kai acted slightly weird around his teammates, but it was such a small difference, that the rest of the BladeBreakers didn't seem to really see anything.

Yet again, Rikku saw another tournament in which the BladeBreakers competed, and won in. "That's the thing about T.V. it's not live anymore...." She muttered. A tournament was coming up, nothing big, but good enough for Rikku to compete in, and to get some money to survive off of. Pulling the black cloak around her neck, and slipping on the hood, she grabbed her dark crimson red blade, and left the hotel room as if no one stayed there.

The BladeBreakers had to go and watch the tournament, though they had better things to do. They might even go one-on-one with the winner. That is, it all matters on what the winner's skill level would be then one of the BladeBreakers would beybattle them.

Rikku went by the name, Jin, though a boy's name no one never noticed that Rikku was a girl. She didn't want to do anything with Kai anymore, so she had hidden her identity. Rikku wasn't just hiding from Kai, but also from her past, and the Blade Sharks.

"Aw, I didn't even finish breakfast!" Tyson moaned. "Because we got kicked out..." Ray muttered, as they boarded the bus to the tournament. Kai was silent and was staring outside, as usual. Max was slightly jumping in his seat, excited about the tournament. Younger bladers have been getting better then when they started blading.

Kai had Shade in his pocket, the memories flooding him again.

Flashback

"Kai!"

"I'll hold them off!"

"No way am I leaving you here!" A younger Rikku yelled, launching her blade," Come on. Shade should hold them off for a few moments!"

An also younger Kai caught Dranzer and followed Rikku out. Soon, Rikku's blade flew into her hand as they were running away from the accursed Abbey.

"That's the last of that..." Rikku muttered, not even glancing back.

"Yeah..."

"Come on, let's go..."

End Flashback and beginning of new flashback

"That will never work."

"Yes it will."

"Make a new team?!"

"Yep."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"Huh, that didn't make sense."

"Shut up." Rikku muttered, slightly annoyed.

"We were as good as partners!"

"Yeah, but we never really entered a tournament."

"Fine! Do it your way!"

"Uh...but you're the captain..."

"WHAT?!"

"You are a better blader than me..."

"..."

"Heh...."

"What the hell did you do...." Kai muttered, glomping Rikku on the head.

"OW! What was that for?!" Rikku slugged Kai.

"Dude, that hurt."

"Point exactly."

"I may be a better blader, but you're a better fighter..." Kai muttered to himself.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing."

End Flashbacks

"Kai? You there???" Kai got back to his senses, and saw them in front of the stadium.

I know that the Flashbacks were kind of dorky, but I couldn't help it!!! R&R!
