A/N: Another AU-ish story, so the warnings are the same. It's set a few years after the World Tournament in Beyblade G-Revolution, and they never met the BEGA. The characters may act more OOC, and of course there is YAOI/YURI pairings.
Pairings: The same ol' TyKa, MaRe, TaBy, KenHil
Summery: Setting is after the world tournament and a few years later. Kai's life has changed over the years, because of a certain blue haired boy. With a new tournament up a head, Kai is caught up in a dilemma with a little girl who appeared out of nowhere and the struggle to hide his feelings. Now a strange threat has appeared, and it's up to Kai to protect both the girl and Takao.
Disclaimers: I'm sorry… I don't own Beyblade or any of the characters, but my own idea in the fic and some of my own characters… I'm kind of poor really. I used all just to buy candy for my little siblings, just to shut them up. ;

Chapter Two: Fell from the Sky
Ripping the cord from the Beyblade launcher, Kai released his Dranzer. In the middle of an old field, Kai was training by himself in the barren lands of Russia. From time to time he would work out with Tala and the others, but he preferred training on his on, seeing as he will also compete against Tala in the tournament. He has been receiving e-mails from Takao and his other friends about their time, making sure if everyone was okay. Kai felt a bit content to know that his friends really care for him. It took him years to finally understand that he had some people who cared for him truly. Most of all, it was Takao whom reached out first. Kai seemed to have been seen hanging around Takao mostly. The young teen was the only one whom he confided in, talking and opening up. He does open up a bit to Rei, Max and Kyoujyu, but it's Takao whom he felt more honest to. He was close friends with Tala and the others as well. He's grown up with them ever since the Abbey days. Even though he was a bit colder towards them, Tala, Bryan and Spencer seem to understand him better than his other friends. They grew up with him and seemed to know how he was like when he was younger. To Kai… and he honestly admitted it to only Takao, they were like his older brothers.
He blinked his eyes, and held up his hand to catch his blue Beyblade. He looked at it and smiled. 'I'm counting on you Dranzer to win me this tournament, or hopefully defeat Takao.' He squeezed it, and placed it in his pocket. He turned around to face the faint outline of the city a few feet away. After deciding that he was done for the day, he started treading back to the apartment to get some food to eat. He hasn't eaten any breakfast, and it was way past lunch. He recalled a day when he missed out in all three meals, and the next day he got sick for some reason. Then Takao started to lecture him and had a worried fit. Kai even had the treat of being nursed by the young teen.
Kai paused in his walk, and furrowed his brow, having this strange feeling flooding through him. There was a sudden explosion sound from above, and he looked up. In the blue sky there was an odd hole that grew wide enough for something to pass through it. Kai widened his eyes in shock and fear. He didn't know what to do but stare. The hole quickly disappeared just as it appeared, and a tiny figure came falling from the sky. Frozen in place, the figure came falling down directly at him screaming in a high pitch. Then on impact, the figure crashed on to Kai, knocking him down to the ground.
The wind was knocked out of him, and he tried to open his blurry eyes. Once his eyes were focused, he found himself staring up at the blue sky. He started to cough for air, and had a hard time sitting up. He looked down to stare at a mass of pale bluish-gray hair. He soon realized that the thing that fell from the sky was a little girl that landing on him. The girl started to stir, groaning. "…Owie…" Her voice was tiny. She raised her head, trying to push herself up. Kai winced a bit, feeling a bit of pain. The girl gasped and jerked her head up and stared down at Kai with the biggest chocolate brown eyes. "Aiya! Gomen-nasai!" she quickly crawled away from on top of Kai, and bowed beside him. He raised a brow as he sat up. "I'm sooooooo sorry, mister!"
Kai raised a hand and rubbed his head, checking if he had any wound from behind. He looked up at the sky, confused. There were no tall trees anywhere, or any cliffs or mountains in the fields. There wasn't even a visible plan or flying object in the sky! 'What the hell…?' He looked down at the girl who was bowed over to the ground, repeatedly apologizing. 'Where did she come from, the sky?'
The little girl looked up, in the brink of tears and fear. "I'm really sorry… are… are you o-okay?" Her voice became shaky. Kai blinked his eyes, having a déjà vu. He nodded his head, and the girl gave a teary smile.
Kai stood up, and helped the little girl up. He suddenly stared at the girl. She was only a little past his knees, like 3'4". She looked to be around 4 or 3 years old. She had a pale bluish-gray hair, up in a sideward ponytail, held by a white ribbon. Her eyes were a big chocolate brown color, and she wore a black and white sailor outfit, like back in Japan. Suddenly it hit him. This girl… this girl looks almost like… but chibi-ized and a girl. He shook his head, causing the little girl to look up at him with question. Her head tilting to the side just like… Kai mentally kicked himself. 'Ah! I have to stop thinking of him…'
"Is something the matter, mister?" The little girl asked, blinking innocently. Kai shook his head, and turned to leave, but the girl grabbed on to his pants. Kai looked down and saw the girl's expression, threatening to cry. "Please don't leave me! I-I don't know where I am." Her voice was trembling. "C-can you help me? I'm… I'm trying to find someone… but I don't remember who…" Her voice trailed off sadly, and her hand gripping on his pants was shaking.
'What should I do? I can't leave her, it will make me feel guilty inside… her sudden appearance does question me. Should I believe her?' He wondered. Kai sighed, and knelt down to her level. "Fine… I'll help you. Only until you have found who ever you are looking for, okay?" He said in the kindest voice he had. The girl sniffed a bit, and slowly smiled at Kai. She then pounced on to him in a tight hug. He was taken back, nearly falling back over. Her smile also was recognizable. 'The heck? I have to stop think of him…'
Kai stood up, and the little girl ran around him, giggling in delight. He went along to start walking, and suddenly felt a tiny hand slip into his. He blinked in surprise, and looked down to see the girl holding his hand. She looked up at him, and smiled sweetly. Kai looked up and closed his eyes. 'Suddenly I have a bad feeling about this all… Not that she is bad or anything… it's just… I recognize her from somewhere, not as she looks like Takao, but… have I met her before?'
Kai unlocked the door to the apartment, and opened it to peep in. He listened for a while, before fully opening the door. He walked in, and let the girl pass by him. He closed the door and locked it. He looked down and saw the girl watching. When she saw him staring at her, she smiled brightly.
"Tala, is that you?"
Kai froze, and quickly picked up the tiny girl, and rushed to his room. He placed the girl down on the bed, leaving her confused. He walked out from the room, and closed it, just as he saw Bryan appear. The older teen looked at him with question. "What are you doing, Kai?" The dual haired teen snorted, and walked away from the door to the kitchen. He suddenly realized how hungry he has become. Bryan walked past the kitchen, still curious as to what Kai was up to. He eyed Kai's room. The dual haired teen walked out the kitchen, past Bryan, and went in his room, with two plates filled with sandwiches. Bryan raised a brow. "Okay…"
Kai locked his door, and sighed in relief. He looked at his bed, and saw the girl sitting there quietly, just as how he left her. The girl looked up and smiled brightly, seeing the plates of food. Her stomach growled loudly, and she blushed deeply in embarrassment. Kai smiled at her, and placed the plates on his bed. He sat down on the floor, next to the bed and the girl. 'Gee… it's like trying to hide a stow away puppy or something.' He took a sandwich, and gave it to the girl. She happily took it and munched it down.
"So, kid, what's you name?" He asked her, watching the girl eat. He took a sandwich of his own, and ate it at a slower pace than the girl.
She finished, and looked at the other sandwiches. She looked up at Kai with question, and he nodded. The girl smiled widely, and took another one. "Watashi wa Hikaru." She chirped, and then took a big bite from her sandwich. "Anata wa?"
He blinked, seeing as this girl can speak Japanese. "I'm Kai." He replied. Hikaru lifted up another sandwich, and then took another bite. "You must be very hungry." The girl smiled with food in her cheeks, making it puff out more. She nodded with great delight. Kai smiled at her. "So where are you from, Hikaru?"
She blinked her eyes, and then looked down. She swallowed her food. "Shiri-masen…" She whispered.
Kai raised a brow. "How come?"
"Watashi… I don't remember…"
He frowned, and stared at his sandwich. 'If she can't remember, then how am I going to help her?' He looked at Hikaru, who started to piece the food, and chewing it slowly. He sighed, and got his second sandwich. "Kai-san…" The dual haired teen looked up at her. "Arigatou-gozaimasu… You're going to help me, even though I don't remember anything… honestly all I can remember is my Grandfather telling me to look for someone… the Tsubasa no Hikari… if that's any help for you."
"Tsubasa no Hikari?" he repeated.
The girl looked up and nodded her head. "Hai! Demo… I don't know where to look for him. I'm not sure where I am."
"You're in Moscow, Russia."
"Moscow? I…" She furrowed her brows.
"You speak Japanese, so you're most likely from Japan, yes?"
"S-sou omoi-masu…" she frowned a bit.
"Maybe… I can take you there, but after the competition I'm going to attend to."
Hikaru's head tilted in question. "Competition?"
"Don't tell me you don't know what Beyblade is." Kai was a bit stunned. Hikaru shook her head. He sighed a bit. "Oh well… but I will take you there with me to Japan, and I'll help you. But for now, you'll just have to follow me in this competition I'm participating in." He looked at the girl, who was yawning a bit. Kai stood up and took the plates, and placed it on the nightstand. "You're tired, you should rest up." He drew back the covers, and Hikaru watched in question. He picked up the girl, and placed her on to the bed. Her took off her tiny black shoes, and placed them on the ground. He pulled up the covers, and then patted her head.
"You're so kind, Kai-san. Thank you." The girl said smiling at him. She then yawned widely, and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Kai's eyes were wide, and he turned around. 'Okay… what did I just do? If anyone knew I was like this they will make fun of me surely…' An image flashed in his eyes of Takao, and he blushed. 'Er… I need air…' He took the plates, and walked out his room.
After dinner, Kai went to washing the dishes. Tala and Bryan were still sitting at the table talking among themselves. Tomorrow they will be leaving to the Blossom Tournament at Honolulu, Hawaii. Kai still hasn't told them about Hikaru, whom he hopefully thought was sleeping still in the room. Tala came a little late from his after school work that he has.
The sound of a door opening was heard, and Kai froze. He glanced over at the entrance of the kitchen to see the tiny blue haired girl sleepily peeking her head. Kai suddenly became nervous, and glanced at the table to see Tala and Bryan still talking, not noticing him acting strangely. Kai hurried up with the washing, and turned off the faucet. He just dried his hands with his pants, and ran out of the kitchen, saying to his older friends that he was going to his room. He picked up Hikaru, and they went back in the room. "What's wrong?" He asked her.
Hikaru gave him a sad expression. "I… I need to go to the bathroom…" She said in a tiny voice. Kai sighed, and then took her to the restroom. He made sure that his two friends weren't around. He let her do her business, as he looked away, waiting for her in the bathroom. After that, he picked her up again, to run back to his room. When he rushed back, he didn't see someone in front of him that he was knocked down to the ground with Hikaru in his arms.
"God Kai, what's up with you?"
Kai blinked open his eyes, and saw Tala on the ground rubbing his head. Tala opened his icy blue eyes, and saw Kai with the girl. He blinked his eyes and shook his head, then looked at Kai again. "Am I seeing things or do you have some little kid with you?"
Bryan appeared and looked down curiously at Tala and Kai. "What's going on?" Then he saw the girl in Kai's arms. "Is this what you were hiding when you came home today?" Bryan asked, staring at the strangely familiar girl. Tala looked at Bryan with question. The two teens got up from the floor. Tala and Bryan were staring at Kai, and the dual haired teen sighed.
"Fine…" He put down Hikaru, and the girl hid behind his leg, peeking over at the two taller teens. "I found her today when I was heading back. She doesn't know where she came from, or who her family is. So I took her, and hopefully help her out." He somewhat lied. He didn't want to tell that really, she fell from the sky, which he couldn't fully understand himself.
"And you hid her?" Tala question.
Bryan chuckled. "Guess this is one side we haven't seen in Kai. I remember when we were young, you and Tala found a puppy, and tried to hide it…"
"Yeah, but they took it away and probably killed it." Kai growled.
"Well…" Tala tried to change the subject. "So she's staying here? You're going to be responsible of her?" Kai nodded. Tala sighed. "Well… looks like Kai is playing father for the time being."
Kai blushed, and glared at the red head. "What? I'm not a father!"
Bryan looked at the girl. "You know… she kind of looks like-" He stopped mid-sentence, being glared coldly by Kai. He chuckled. "Well, if you look at it this way, she is probably three or two years old. And…" Tala tired to keep a straight face, fully knowing what Bryan was talking about.
"What?" Kai's face was fully red now. He growled. "She is not…! I told you I found her! You guys are-"
"I'm not three!" Hikaru said, pouting, and glaring at the two taller teens. "I'm six! Just because I'm small, doesn't mean I'm a little baby! I'm not!" She protested. Tala and Bryan burst out laughing hard. Kai glared at them, and picked up Hikaru.
"I'm going to bed." Kai said, and then slammed the door of his room. He could still hear Tala and Bryan laughing at him. He muttered a curse at them, and then looked at Hikaru. The girl blinked her brown eyes, and then smiled at him cheekily. Kai smiled back, suddenly not feeling mad anymore. He brushed back a few strand from her rosy face. 'I'm suddenly feeling attached to this girl, even though I just met her today…'
The Blitzbrieg Boys and little Hikaru rode the plane to Hawaii, where the Blossom Tournament was held. Tala and Bryan sat together, and Hikaru happily sat with Kai. She admitted that she has never rode on a plane before; at least that's what she can remember. Kai was getting even more curious about this girl.
She was rather tiny for a six year old, agreeing with Bryan that she did look like a three year old. She did strikingly resemble a certain blue haired boy he knows, except for her chocolate eyes. She fell from the sky, and she carried around a little bag, that he didn't notice before. Sure the bag seemed normal, but what's inside is what is strange. After shopping for some clothes for the little girl (suggested Bryan), the girl stuffed all of her new clothes in her tiny bag, and strangely, the bag didn't seem to have anything in it at all. When Bryan asked what was in her small bag, she enthusiastically showed everything in it, dumping tons of things on to the floor. There were even these strange gadgets he has never seen before, or Hikaru has no clue on how to operate them.
The tiny blue haired girl was resting, with her head lying on a pillow on the armrest. Her little legs were curled up on the seat, and covered with the blanket. She was really tiny that she fitted her whole little body on to the seat. Kai smiled softly, and pulled the blanket over her shoulder. "Ojiisan…" He heard her whispered. He frowned slightly, wondering if who she is looking for is her grandfather. But wasn't it she said that her grandfather sent her to find someone? Maybe she misses her Ojiisan, that's why she called for him? But what happened to her parents, and where did she really come from?
Kai blinked his eyes and then saw a tear escape from her long thick lashes, and down her pink cheeks. He brushed away some strands from her face, and wiped away the tear. 'She is so young… why would she be looking for someone, and she can't remember anything? This is so confusing, and she does questioning me…' He took in a breath and nodded to himself. 'Then… I'll promise to help her, and take care of her. Maybe… maybe Takao would like to help as well? Hikaru-chan would really like him, I know of it.' He felt a blush come upon his face, thinking of the young blue haired teen. He turned his head, and stared at out the window to the endless oceans. He tried to occupy his mind with something else other than the reigning World Champion.
He could see a faint trace of the islands of Hawaii. An announcement was made saying that they were nearing their destination. The passengers of the airline were beginning to wake from their little nap in the plane. He saw Hikaru stir a bit, but didn't seem to wake. He glanced out the window and frowned. 'I suddenly have this bad feeling as we approach the islands… I hope that everything will turn out okay in the end of this tournament… and I hope that Takao will be safe…'
((Not much happened here, except for the new introduction of my own character, Hikaru. Also, I kind of got in to Tala and Bryan's relationship. Hopefully there was a bit of it in there, at least I hope there was. Kai's feelings for Takao grow every passing day, and when is he going to tell Takao? These feeling that Kai have, about something "wrong", what do they mean? And exactly who is this Hikaru character? Well, you'll just have to find out more in the next chapters. Please Review!
