CD: I don't own Beyblades, you know…if I did, my fics would probably be episodes by now…lol.

Mika tugged her small suitcase along the footpath, her head bowed low.

"Oh wow tough guy! So you have a bit beast eh?" said a deep voice from near the river.

Mika's eyes widened, if there was anything that could cheer her up at this moment it was a Beybattle.

"Come on! This should be a piece of cake!" cried another voice from the same place.

A third voice growled, Mika could sense pain in that low growl…it was as if she had heard it somewhere before too…

Mika couldn't stand it-she had to have a look, picking up her suitcase she walked along the riverbank and hid behind a bush.. Mika looked on with interest, too far away to see who was winning she carefully edged closer.

What she saw shocked her. There were two part hunters who she recognised from the black t-shirts, baggy track pants and the round crest burned into their necks were battling a two toned slate and dark blue haired guy. Her eyes widened with surprise, Kai? Kai Hiwatari? This couldn't be possible, memories flooded back into her…Days at the abbey had been tolerable because he and Tala had been there with her until…she shook her head vigorously and focused on the battle before her…what was past was past.

Kai was winning the battle, obviously…those part hunters were good but who Mika recognized as David and his Blackrodent couldn't beat Kai's astounding Dranzer for his life.

"Look, this is a waste of time!" said the second voice. Mika recognized him as Darryl, he was the best but had never fought a proper battle. She sighed, all that time on the streets had been wasted but at least she had learnt the identities of all of the people and had joined one of the most feared gangs there were.

"Here, let me speed this up. Go Ratking!" cried Darryl.

Mika frowned, she never remembered him to play unfairly…this time with the combined power of both bitbeasts they could overpower Kai.

"Dranzer!" cried Kai, he clasped his hands to his knees. Beads of sweat rolled down his face.

Mika couldn't take this, she looked at Kai and she just couldn't stand letting him loose in an unfair battle.

"Time to even up this match!" said Mika emerging from the shadows.

"You! Never thought I'd see you here," said Darryl.

"I have lost all my respect for you Darryl, that is if I had any to start of with," smiled Mika, her tone icy but very calm.

"What do you mean?" asked Darryl faking stupid.

"Don't pretend you don't know," hissed Mika getting out her blade and launcher.

"Hey! What are you doing?" said David.

"As I said before, I'm evening up the match!" replied Mika calmly.

" I don't need the help of an amateur," muttered Kai.

Mika blinked at him, surprised he hadn't recognised her but then she should've known. She had changed a lot in the last 6 years.

"I'm not asking for your permission, I just can't stand an unfair battle." Said Mika "Go Gino!" [AN: Gino is said as Gee (as in geese) and no, it means silver panther in Japanese-correct me if I'm wrong but my Japanese teacher told me.]

A silver blade bounced into the stadium, it attacked at Ratking forcing him to retreat into the black and red blade which flew out of the dish, the bit-chip fell off and the blade broke in half.

"You weren't this strong last time," whined Darryl.

"Three years can change a lot in a person and as I recall you used to fight fairly." Said Mika turning to Kai "I'm sure you can handle Blackrodent Kai, otherwise I wouldn't think you could live up to your name of leader of the Bladebreakers."

She picked up her blade and suitcase and walked off /Oh Kai! How could you have forgotten me?/ Mika wanted to cry, her eyes moistened but she just didn't know how.

Kai looked on at the silhouetted figure in the distance and frowned to himself, /She looks so familiar…/

CA: Please review, yes it's not the best story in the world but I'm trying okay?! Sorry my chapters are disgustingly short but you'll have to bear with them.
