Chapter 1 – Flashback
"Wake up! Wake up!"
A sleepy Tyson gets up, still half in his dream, "What is it Daichi?"
"You've got to come see this! Breakfast just turned into buffet paradise!"
Tyson gets up, pulls on a shirt and his inseparable cap, then heads out his room, Daichi leading the way. They walk into a room, where a large table was found. Toast, eggs, bacon, cereal, all the morning foods you could think of covered the wooden item. Their friends, Ray, Max, Kenny, Hilary and of course, Kai, surrounded the food, waiting.
"Whoa! This is too nice!" Tyson exclaimed. Before long, he and his companion were all over breakfast.
"Um. Guys?"
"Urgh." Kai looks away.
"Ya what's up?" Daichi answered with his mouth full.
"I think you really should wait for Mr. Dickinson to get here before you start eating. This is a special breakfast remember?" Ray explained.
"Oh…" Tyson and Daichi calm down for a bit, and resist the urge to eat.
Kenny tries to comfort them, "It's alright guys. I'm sure he'll understand."
"Really? Well in that case –" And the boys continue eating.
"I don't think that's what he meant," Hilary contributed.
Kai, tired of waiting and watching, gets up and leaves.
"Where are you going?" Max asks.
Like always, Kai refuses to answer.
"Well I guess it's more food for us then, right pal?"
"You said it!" Daichi agrees. And so, another morning for the Blade Breakers.
Kai decides to take a little walk in the streets. Suddenly, he sees a shadow following him. When he turns around, he sees no one.
"I better watch it," he said to himself.
As he turns back, a beyblade zooms past his face, only missing him by about a centimeter.
A mysterious, yet familiar voice calls out, "Where do you think you're going?"
Kai looks up and sees a girl, around his age. She looked Goth, considering the black hair, black bandana, black jacket, black shorts, and long black leather boots. She was also wearing a white blouse underneath. Kai recognized her, but he wasn't sure where he had seen her before.
"Who are you?" He asked anyway.
The girl snickers, "Why do ask questions to which you already know the answers to?"
"You can never get what you want these days," Kai thought to himself.
The girl retrieves her beyblade and prepares to relaunch it. Kai gets out Dranzer, and does the same.
"3-2-1- let it rip!"
Kai watches the Goth's blade. She had amazing speed. He attempts an attack, but she dodges it with ease.
"Don't tell me that's all you've got?" the girl said, "I'm going to show something that'll really burn. Beridox, Stage Q, ATTACK!"
Her blade changes directions, slamming right into Dranzer. It seems to disappear for a few seconds, and then comes out, heading straight for Kai's blade.
Kai is amazed, "She's tough. Wait a minute! Where have I seen that move before?"
The girl sees him struggling, "What's the matter Kai? Not up to it?"
Ignoring what she had just said, he asks, "What's your name?"
"Well, aren't we curious," the girl withdraws her beyblade, "My name is Kiera." She turns and walks away, leaving Kai, still standing in shock.
"Kiera…"
Kai's encounter with Kiera remained a surprise to him, but he started to get a clearer picture of whom she was. He was starting to remember. The blader walks up to a dock and sits down for a little while, thinking to himself. Suddenly, he hears a rustle in the bush nearby.
"Who's there?" he asks. Kai gets up and pushes aside the bush, revealing a scarred Tyson and a confused Daichi.
"GAH!" The two yell.
"What are you doing here?" Kai asks, as angry as ever. "You're not spying or anything are you?"
"Wh-what? N-no. Of course not. He he…" Tyson answered.
"Hmph." Kai walks away.
"What was that all about," Daichi asks.
"Urgh! If you hadn't made any noises I would've been able to find out what was going on!" Tyson retorts.
"Well it's not my fault you dragged me out here."
"Dragged you? Is that the best excuse you can find? You're the one who followed me!" Tyson answered angrily.
"I did not!" Daichi screamed.
"Did so!"
"Did not!"
"Why you little brat!"
The next day, Hilary prepares for a little trip to the shopping mall.
"Hey guys. Have you seen Kai around lately?" she asks.
"The last time I saw him was at breakfast yesterday morning. Haven't heard from him ever since," Max replied.
"I haven't seen him either," Ray said.
"It's not like this has never happened before, right?" Kenny answers.
"I know but…. it's just so weird," Hilary counted the money in her wallet.
"I've seen him," Daichi surprised everyone.
"You have?" They all said.
"Uh-huh. He was sitting all alone on a dock wondering to himself. Nothing interesting really. I'm not sure why Tyson wanted to follow him?"
Everyone looks at him, wide-eyed.
"You mean Tyson was spying on Kai?" Kenny asked. Daichi nodded.
"Boy, that Tyson sure is in a lot of trouble when Kai finds out," Max said.
"Actually he already knows," Daichi told him.
"Really," Ray said.
Tyson comes out of his room; half asleep like always, "Really what?"
Hilary walks up to him, "How rude of you!"
"What?" he asked innocently, "What did I do this time?"
"Oh give it up Tyson," Ray urged, "You know what she means."
"Uh, sorry but no I don't!" Tyson said, still lost.
"Haven't you been spying on Kai lately?" Max tried.
"Spying on Kai? Where did you guys get that idea?"
Everyone pauses. There didn't seem to be any lie in what Tyson had said. The look in his eye told you he was confused, even scared.
"You mean you haven't been spying?" Hilary asks.
"Duh! Why would I? I was here all night eating and sleeping!" Tyson replied, "It sure was great!"
"What?"
