chapter 6: The BBQ for champions

Kai and Meiley decided to walk to Tyson's house as it was such a nice day and this was how Kai usually got around Meiley didn't object she wanted to see the town and it gave her the perfect opportunity to catch up with Kai, though he never knew how much she left out about herself.

"so who exactly is this Chazz person" Kai gave her an awkward look when she mentioned that she now lived at her manor with her butler who was more of a friend to her then a butler and a boy around her age called Chazz.

"Chazz is a good friend of mine he's a real computer geek he's into robotics and machines anything technical, he got into this special school of robotics and technical engineering but it was not exactly close to home so I told him he could flat with me he does all the electronic security around the house for me and he manages my websites I kinda hired him to do that for me" Meiley shrugged the matter off but couldn't help but notice Kai's ever so slight expression of relief.

She looked up at him curiously then seemed to notice something that she didn't really approve of. "since when were you taller then me?" Kai suppressed a laugh then cocked an eyebrow at her "I was always taller then you" he said gloatingly, he lifted his chin up to appear even more taller then smirked at her playfully.

"pah! You were never taller then me I was at least this much taller then you" Meiley brought up her hand and made an inch separation between her fingers.

Kai rolled his eyes at her just as Meiley raised her eyebrow at him "whatever" they said at the same time, the both of them stopped walking and looked at each other a little freaked out. Kai opened his mouth as if to say something but decided not to and kept on walking.

"soooooooooo this BBQ where're going to…who else is going to be there apart from Tyson and us?" Meiley said catching up to Kai, not turning her head to face Kai but instead looking at the footpath in front of her.

"Don't know and don't care" Kai said bluntly, he glanced over at Meiley catching her unimpressed expression, he sighed in defeat and told her what she wanted to know.

"as far as I know all my old team mates are gonna be there as well as some members from other teams like white tiger x and F dynasty, happy!" Kai said crossing his arms, Meiley considered this for a moment "so quite a few people then?" she was very interested in all of these bladers she knew who they all were, she watched them all battle in last years championships and the battle against BEGA.

This had aroused her own blading spirit into thinking that it would be worthwhile to battle in the championships again seeing as Kai, Tyson, Ray and Max had proven to be decent competition especially Kai and Tyson but she new that blading in public events was out of the question, lives depended that she keep her blade and herself a secret.

"yeah" Kai looked up at Meiley and was a little surprised to see that she looked very confident with herself her aura was very powerful and dominant, this startled him for a moment because a few moments ago she seemed very gentle and fragile.

At Tyson's dojo everyone was outside having a good time they decided not to worry to much about the whereabouts of Kai as he would eventually show up sooner or later.

Hillary was watching Tyson and Daichi have an unofficial eating contest in disgust "do you guy's even chew your food" she said looking as if she had smelled something feral, just then a familiar voice was heard from all three of them that immediacy stopped Tyson and Daichi from sculling there food.

"well Hillary that's a question that has baffled scientist for years" Tyson looked up and saw his older brother Hero staring at them with a welcoming smile on his face.

"hero! You came!" said Tyson (well sort of) Tyson's mouth was full but everyone just made out what he said.

"swallow little bro swallow" at this point everyone had turned around to laugh at Tyson as he choked down the rest of his burger punching his chest lightly to try and make his food go down easier.

"yo hero what up my man, hungry" Tyson's grandpa stepped into view and tossed his grandson a burger.

"thanks grandpa" said hero gratefully, "so hero what made you come" asked Tyson after he had eaten his burger and was now able to speak.

"I had the day of so I thought I would drop by" Hero took another bite of his burger and gave Tyson a small smile showing of his table manners annoyed Tyson and he new it.

"so how's things going at the new BBA" asked Ray walking up to the group and stopping next to Hero.

"its going great we got a few more sponsors so we should be able to relocate into a better building within a couple of weeks" everyone especially Tyson got a little excited, Bega had destroyed the BBA but after Tyson and the others took care of them the BBA slowly regain business and with a bit of help was back on its feet again.

"that's so cool, so has Mr Dickinson arraigned the next world championships yet" Tyson exclaimed jumping up like boy at Christmas.

"one step at a time Tyson, besides were still in the proses of rebuilding but once we've relocated then the world championships will commence okay" said Hero getting a little annoyed with Tyson but he was proud of his enthusiasm.

Hero looked down at the shore of the river and watched Miguel and Lee battle it out Mariah, Julia, Raoul and Max were all watching them and cheering them on then Hero took a look around and noticed that Kai was know where to be seen. He new Kai wasn't the most social person but he was usually around but then again he had been pretty distant lately.

Just then Miguel's blade got knocked out of the dish and came straight for Tyson's head "AHHHHHHHHH…clank" luckily Tyson's head was not the thing Miguel's blade crashed into, a blue blade suddenly came out of know where and knocked Miguel's blade of its course.

Everyone gasped looking at the new blade it was glowing red with fire then as fast as it came it then retreated into the hands of the owner. At the top of the hill stood Kai he gracefully reached and caught his blade with little effort and smirked at the others.

"Kai" the group exclaimed, Tyson came bounding up to Kai and greeted him with a very toothy grin while patting him on the shoulder. "nice to see ya buddy he he he" Kai shrugged Tyson's hand of his shoulder and frowned at him acting like his cold usual self but then gave a small smirk.

"so you finally started to blade again that's so cool and you got a new blade can I see it" before Kai could think Tyson had Kai's blade in his hand, Tyson's mouth dropped when his eye's came across Dranzer embedded in Kai's new blade " D…D..D…Dranzer he's back…THAT'S SO AWSOME…"Tyson stuttered, Kai felt that Tyson had Dranzer long enough ans snatched his blade back of Tyson putting an end to Tyson's little rant.

Though that wasn't enough to stop Tyson's curiosity "this is so cool man when did this all happen and how did you get your Dranzer back" Kai's eyebrow twitched, he didn't know how he did it but Tyson always got on his nerves fast.

He sighed and gave his annoying friend an answer "well firstly Dranzer is a she and I got her back this morning, an old friend brought her back to me" said Kai crossing his arms and looking away from Tyson, he could tell that there were going to be a lot more questions once he introduced his 'old friend'.

Tyson blinked a little confused 'I was under the impression that Dranzer was a he and Kai never mentioned anything about having friends before he met the bladebreakers' thought Tyson.

"ooooooookay, so who's this old friend of your's, I thought you didn't have any friends before us" Tyson said in a very smart ass kind of way.

Kai was getting a little annoyed with Tyson and made his body language talk for him. He crossed his arms and gave Tyson a death glare that would have put vampires to shame.

Unfortunately for Kai, Tyson was too interested to know more about this mysterious friend, and was far too obnoxious to take effect from Kai's warning signals.

"hey Kai you haven't answered me yet" Tyson's persistence was agitating him further Kai grunted at Tyson's annoyance, but before he got a chance to say anything Tyson opened his big mouth again with more questions for Kai missing the purple blur go behind him.

"so where is this friend of your's anyway I kinda want to meet him or have you told the poor guy to get lost already" Tyson chuckled at his own comment, Kai smirked at his friends insolence "had you have paid any attention at all Tyson then you would have realised that I brought my friend with me, and that she isstaring right at you"

Tyson froze "she?" he slowly turned around and was stunned to see a very attractive girl with long purple and black streaked hair, sitting at the table next to Hillary, Mariah, Ray, Kenny and Daichi and her along with everyone sitting at the table were staring at Tyson with very amused faces.

"Tyson meet Meiley" Kai said in a mocking tone directing his hand towards Meiley, Tyson's face was turning red he sheepishly grinned and scratched the back of his head, "uhh hi there I'm uhh well Tyson" said Tyson quite embarrassed. While he was talking to Kai, Meiley had gone to the table and introduced herself to the others rather sneakily as to not alert Tyson.

Meiley looked at Tyson with an devilish smirk and in her most lecturing English accent said "so it would seem, you should really be more observant Tyson or else the next person who sneaks up on you might just kill you" everyone at the table started to laugh Tyson gave them a look to say as if but then as silent as a ghost Kai came up behind Tyson grabbed his arm and twisted it around his back then tricked Tyson with his rip cord to make it seem as though it was a knife placed against Tyson's throat.

Tyson froze and could have sworn his heart stopped beating "she's right you know Tyson" came Kai's deep voice from behind. Kai let him go before Tyson lashed out to break away he ended up stumbling forward. Everyone was laughing Tyson loud and hard. Miguel, Lee, Hero, Julia and Raoul wanted to see what all the commotion was about so they all walked up to the others to see that they were al laughing at Tyson.

"Did we miss one of Tyson's memorable moments?" said Lee noticing Tyson's stunned expression, just then Grandpa came up to the group of teens with a plate full of burgers and hotdogs and set them on the table, he noticed that Kai had finally arrived and that he had brought a guest.

"yo hommes dinners up I see our home boy Kai's brought a special friend along that's cool yo, I always make extra with Tyson and Daichi around "hey" mumbled the two, who's mouths were full of hotdogs, they had already made there way to the plate of food that grandpa had brought over.

Their mumbled protest was ignored by a number of grossed out faces, but Hero and the others who were blading moments before were more interested in the girl Kai had brought with him 'she's hot' thought Miguel giving the purple haired girl a warm smile which she returned with a cold stare.

Lee, Raoul and Julia also noticed the new girl and from the way grandpa was talking it sounded like she was Kai's girlfriend they looked at each other sceptically.

Hillary had noticed there confused expressions she new what they were thinking about coz they kept on stealing glances at Meiley then Kai awkwardly "hey guys this is Kai's friend! Meiley" she said putting emphasis on the word friend, it took them a second to understand what Hillary meant but then it hit them understanding that Meiley was not actually Kai's girlfriend they nodded there heads in unison.

Julia was getting annoyed with the silence Hillary had placed the focus on them now and all they were doing was standing there doing nothing "hi I'm Julia and this is my brother Raoul and this is…" Julia was about to introduce Miguel and Lee but was cut off from Meiley.

"Lee and Miguel…I watched the world championships, so I know who you all are I like to watch out for new competition" said Meiley finishing where she had cut Julia off.

Hero was watching Meiley carefully 'Meiley she's so familiar where have I seen her before' he thought he new he had seen her before but he couldn't put his finger on it, 'Meilye Meiley Meiley where have I heard that name before…' Hero's eye's widened 'holy shit' he mouthed out not letting the others hear, the memory came flooding back to him but he had to make sure that this was the same girl from all those years back.

"Meiley you say your name was" he said looking directly at Meiley with a determined gaze, the others looked at Hero oddly.

Meiley glared back at him suspiciously then nodded slowly "yeah" she twitched her eyebrow daring him to go on. Hero smirked then looked from her to Kai who was looking at him intensely with crossed arms, Hero turned his attention back to Meiley.

"your full name wouldn't happen to be Lady Meiley Croft would it, the same Meiley who clamed the title of the youngest blader to win the world championships twice in a row?"

Tyson shot up from his seat jaw dropped but was pushed back down by an equally shocked Kenny who pushed his way onto the table "THE Meiley croft as in Lady invincible" Kenny squealed shakily racing on his laptop to find the stats on Meiley, Meiley became a little flustered but gave a mischievous grin and blushed a little "uh yeah that's me" she said quietly.

Tyson finally got back up as chief was know absorbed into typing and reading "wait a minute so you're a past beyblade world champion huh you know I never actually thought about their being other champions out their" Tyson said scratching the back of his head Hillary rolled her eye's and flicked the tip of Tyson's nose "of course you didn't think about the other champions Tyson you so self centred"

"no I'm not" replied Tyson childishly Hillary was about to argue back but then Meiley sat up from her seat and stretched smiling lightly at the fighting couple "so Meiley I'm curious how old were you when you won the championships" Meiley's head snapped toward the direction of the voice that turned out to be Ray who also sat up from the table.

"9 and 10" was her simple reply "WOW" the group exclaimed "you were that young" said Hillary with amassment, Meiley nodded reassuringly.

"so what stopped you from winning the third time round not so invincible if you lost" said Daichi obnoxiously smirking at his comment, Meiley glared at him coldly wiping the smirk right of his face "that is none of your business" she snapped turning on her heal and walked down to the river a few feet away.

Daichi was about to get up and tease but Hero put a hand on his shoulder bringing him down he watched for Meiley to walk away and out of earshot before he said anything.

"I don't think you want to go there Daichi" came Kenny's voice from over them he was typing away on his laptop, the crowd peered over his shoulder to see that he pulled up a number of old newspaper articles from around 6 years ago "oh my god look at this" said Mariah pushing Kenny over a little to get a better look at the screen she read one of the article's out loud.

"November 13 back from the dead: Lady Meiley Saderah Croft has been found alive by a patrolling CSI officer late yesterday afternoon. The 11 year old was thought to have been killed in the boat accident a few weeks ago that claimed the life of her father Lord Henry Richard Croft and several others, the accident took place the day before the young noble was due to compete in the world beyblading championships final two weeks ago the match was therefore given to the opposition by defult. Lady Croft has serious injuries to her stomach and numerous parts of her body and remains in a critical condition, it is unknown how the young Lady survived in her current state but doctors are hopeful that she will make a complete recovery. Due to the death of her father Meiley will gain all control over the Croft heritage and is the last living relative in her family"

Mariah finished the article teary eyed seeing the before and after photos of the 11 year old Meiley in hospital bruised and battered, a wave of guilt flushed through Daichi as he hung his head in shame thinking 'oops'.

"I was one of the people watching her match the day before the incident" said Hero at least they knew now why it was hard for Meiley to talk about her blading history infact any of her history.

Hero released his grip everyone stared in awe at Meiley the blue strands of her top were swaying in the breeze elegantly how could such a thing happen to a person. Tyson was starting to feel a little anxious everyone was feeling so sad after reading that article, but the thought of battling a former champion was to good to resist and it was clear that the others were thinking the same thing.

Kai had left the others and walked down to meet up with Meiley, he stood next to her emotionless and arms crossed but still his heart beat fast for her almost sympathetically. Meiley was frowning at the river arms also crossed it was already obvious to Kai that her past was a touchy subject he couldn't blame her after all he felt the same way about his.

Meiley let the surge of anger pass through her letting her mind relax again, peacefully looking up at Kai she brought out her blade and caressed the bit chip with her thumb,

She grinned at Kai devilishly "you know what puts me in a really good mood" Kai looked at her then to the blade that she had in her hand he smirked understanding what she wanted who was he to deny himself what he wanted as well.

Before they knew it Tyson and the others had raced down to join them "cool I'm next" said Tyson but the 2 were already absorbed in there battle "321 let it rip" yelled Max

Kai and Meiley launched their blades with such great force it blew some of the spectators over Kai's blade was being circled by Meileys power was radiating from the each blade and there master, Meiley's bit chip began to glow a bright white colour the speed of her blade made a white ring around Kai's dranzer.

"attack" yelled Meiley ordering her blade to make the first move, the circle around Kai's blade turned into a series of rapidly spinning loops that came crashing into dranzer, Kai was trapped the attacks were to frequent to make a move he felt himself growing impatient by his lack of manoeuvrability "go dranzer attack now" he yelled Dranzer emerged from her blade with a ferocious roar.

His blade managed to fight back the attacks they were know clashing with each other head to head the force from the blades were creating a huge creator in the ground sparks of energy were flying everywhere the glow form Meiley's blade was becoming more intense what really surprised Kai was that his blade was know glowing the same colour the same was happening for Tyson and the others as well all the bladers bit chips were glowing the just like Meiley's blade.

The 2 blades broke apart only for a moment to gather more strength for their final attack "DRANZER" Kai yelled at the same time Meiley shouted "RAHKI" from her blade emerged a dark shadow at first this was the first time Kai had ever seen her bit beast come out it was beautiful though it was incredibly hard to see it only appeared as a form of shadow surrounded by gusts of purple and white wind.

The figure looked like a giant cat like creature the ears were very tall and instead of paws it looked like the creature had clawed hands but the most obvious feature was the giant white wings that crowned over it. On the bladers call's the 2 beasts collided with each other, a huge sphere of powerful energy erupted from the blades making the ground shake.

The blinding energy faded and the battle ended in a draw Meiley looked Kai in the eye breathing hard smiled Kai smirked back at her, they picked up their blades and gave each other an agreeing nod.

"wow that was awesome I'm battling you next" cheered Tyson eagerly.

And with no time at all the hole afternoon was spent beyblading each other but know one managed to beat Kai's new and improved Dranzer or his mysterious friend Meiley though Tyson did manage to tie with Kai a few times the current world champ just couldn't seem to defeat the old.

Hours had past the sky was quickly turning darker orange pink and blue colours were plastered over the horizon, the day had been utterly spent blading and forming new friendships.

F Dynasty had left for home shortly after Miguel, Kenny and Lee left also, Mariah wanted to stay with Ray for a while. Soon all that remained were Tyson, Ray, Mariah, Hillary, Kai, Max and Meiely everyone except Kai and Meiley was going to sleep over at Tyson's , Tyson had offered the two to stay the night but neither of them really wanted to and refused.

"it's getting cold out here anyone want to come inside" said Hillary wrapping her arms around herself for warmth.

"what are you talking about it's not cold…" Tyson shuddered as a chilly breeze picked up sending goose bumps all over his arms and legs "okay so maybe it is getting cold you guys sure you don't want to stay the night?" Tyson said getting up and stretching his back soon everyone had gotten up and started following Hillary and Tyson inside.

Tyson looked over at Kai and Meiley waiting for their answer "we're sure" said Kai crossing his arms he stood and waited for Meiley to get up and walk home with him.

"thank's anyway Tyson and besides I've left all my stuff at Kai's house so cya later then nice meeting you guys" Meiley waved goodbye, she and Kai turned around and begain to walk back to Kai's mansion.

Hillary walked up close to Mariah and whispered "so what do you think of Meiley" Mariah looked up at her friend with a big smile on her face "I think she's really cool and I've never seen a blader like her before, kinda moody but who could blame her with Daichi and his big mouth"

Hillary smiled "I think Kai likes her" Mariah giggled and was about to say something when Ray snuck up behind them putting strong hands on Mariah's shoulders making her jump "what are you guys giggling about" said Ray eyeing them suspiciously "oh nothing" said Mariah blushing a little " like fun it was nothing" said Max coming from behind.

The girls giggled louder and ran inside, Max and Ray shrugged and followed after " hey guys wait for me would ya" yelled Tyson running inside to get away from the wind that was picking up speed 'looks like there's a storm coming Kai and Meiley better run fast if they wanna get home dry" he thought before walking inside the warm room.

The cold breeze got a lot worse it was blowing Meiley's hair in every direction including into Kai's face, she tried to tame it by holding it down but still the long strands of her silky purple hair flew wildly around her.

Kai watched her attempts to control her hair as well as keep her body warm the wind was freezing, the chill ran up and down his entire body his lower lip was trembling and he could see Meiley's usually rosy lip's turning blue.

It wasn't long before the wind was howling paper and dead leaves were flying all over the place at was becoming hard to hear anything over the noise. Kai looked up at the clouds, they were dark he felt the cold sting of a rain drop fall on his cheek he winced and wiped it away if they didn't get home soon they were going to find themselves stuck in a nasty storm.

"lets go we're going to have to run the rest of the way" he quickly grabbed her hand and took of in a sprint, Meiley easily kept up but it was becoming harder to see for the both of them. The rain was fogging their vision, it was beating against their skin like frozen needles.
