Chapter 4: New Friends
They went over to a restuarant to discuss things over. It was 12 of them all together and they took 2 booths, 6 at each. Sakura,Li,Yugi,Tyson,Joey and Meilin at one booth and Max,Rei,Hilary,Tea,Kenny and Tomoyo at the other. The booths were back to back to they heard everything the other side was saying.
"Oh Ok ok, I'll have 3 cheesburgers, 2 sodas, the jumbo fries and a vanilla milkshake" Tyson demanded
"Tyson are you really gunna eat all that!" Hilary asked turning her head to face him on the other booth.
"Aww come on Hilary this is light stuff," he protested.
"Who is paying for all of this stuff huh?" Meilin snorted.
"I'll pay," Tomoyo said smiling, she handed over the waitress who stood in awe and confusion at a whopping16,000yen, the little girl handed to her.
"Whoa! is she rich or what?" Joey asked Sakura, his eyes bulging in awe at the huge amount her friend hand presented.
"Yea infact she is she lives in this multi-million dollar mansion," Sakura explained.
"Wow no way and I thought all rich people were snobby brats," Tyson grinned.
Everyone ordered whatever they wanted and tried to explain their situations to the other.
Sakura explained about being a Card Captor, Rei explained what Bey-Blading is and Yugi (the adorable one) explained what Duel Monsters were all about.
"Hmm so weird," Hilary said slurping up some of her milkshake.
"Yea I don't understand, It's like we are from different worlds or something, and somehow our monsters got crossed," Kenny speculated.
Li just sat there like he didn't even believe the situation he was in, it was like he was ignoring everyone, just sitting there in his usual serious attitude, accepting being force fed food by Meilin.
"Hmm I got to show you guys something," Yugi said reaching in to his pocket and pulled out the new cards he had received mysteriously earlier on.
"Oh my gosh!" Tyson suddenly stood up and shouted with his mouth half full.
"Tyson sit down, you are so embarrasing!" Hilary scolded.
"Hilary guys look at this!" Tyson took the cards from Yugi's hand and showed it to the guys on the other booth.
"It's Drigger,Draciel, Dragoon and Dranzer!" Kenny exclaimed.
"How in the heck they get trapped in there?" Hilary asked out loud.
"Wait a sec.. so Sakura gets her monster trapped in one of our Beyblades and now our Bey blades get trapped into these so call Duel monsters cards.." Rei said.
"And now my monsters are trapped in her Clow Cards" Yugi finished off.
" Damn! Can I get another soda here please!" Tyson said waving to get the waitress's attention.
"Tyson can you think about something other than your stomach for once this is serious!" Hilary scolded.
"Wow you guys this is way weird" Tea spoke.
"Don't worry Dragoon I'm coming for you" Tyson said to the card.
"Hold on you guys look at these cards again," Kenny said. "Do you guys notice something?"
"What Chief?" Hilary asked.
"Dranzer is apart of these cards!" Kenny exclaimed.
"Can someone please explain," Meilin yelled impatiently, then quickly smiling at Li feeding him some more pie.
"Hey Sakura do you remember meeting someone named Kai in our world?" Tyson asked turning to Sakura who was sitting next to him.
"Um.. no" She replied thoughtfully
"He's part of our BeyBreaker team" Max said.
"But he wasn't with us when Meilin and Sakura appeared, knowing him but how in th heck did Dranzer get into these Duel Cards?" Hilary asked out loud again.
"No way, you think he is here in this world with us"
The Bey Breakers continued asking each other questions and speculating about their current situation. The rest of the crew just silently listened, they couldn't speak because obviously they were confused.
Sakura looked at little Yugi and smiled, he was sitting opposite of her. He couldn't help but smile back. 'She's kinda cute Yugi thought'
He just looked at Sakura, her hair was short and she was still pretty beautiful, her skin seemed to silky smooth and her amiable personality was so captivitating.
"Yugi.. she's too young for you" Tea said as if she was reading his mind.
"cough cough" Yugi just choked on his soda at her remark.
Sakura just giggled.
Li twitched a bit at Yugi and gave him a kinda back off look.
"Open wide" Meilin said giggling, offering to fed Li another piece of pie.
"Eww look at those too," Tyson grunted.
" Oh grow up Tyson," Hilary said rolling her eyes.
"What are we going to now?"Sakura asked, quickly changing the subject.
"We need find Kai," Tyson replied.
"Why?" Yugi asked.
"Because he is apart of our team, maybe if we find him we'll beable to sort this whole thing out. Here Yugi" Tyson said holding out his Dragoon card to Yugi.
"Why are you giving this to me?" he asked
"Because I feel that right now, only you know what to do with Dragoon in this current state." Tyson replied.
"Yea," the rest of the Beybreakers replied handing over their Bit-beast Duel Monsters Cards to Yugi.
"Ok lunch is over let's go find Kai!"
Tyson and the other Beybreakers described what Kai looked like to the others and they decided to split up in order to search the city. Yugi Sakura and Kenny, Max, Tyson and Tomoyo, Rei, Meilin and Li, Joey Tea and Hilary,4 groups.
Some buildings were over 40 stories high, the window panes they had reflected the clouds in the blue sky. People of all kinds were bustling aroung them, mostly business people in suits hurrying to go to important commercial buildings, obviously. The streets were clean and their wasn't too much traffic surprisingly. They decided to check out a park, a beautiful and well-kept green spot in the bustling city.
"Wow what a beautiful city" Tomoyo said filming every moment of it.
"Yea it's beautiful" Max repeated secretly admiring Tomoyo from the corner of his blue eyes.
"Pfft, I just want to find Kai get our Bit-beats back in their oringal state and go home" Tyson snorted. It was obvious this whole situation had him very confused and bewildered, hence his irritating attitude he had towards everyone for the whole time.
" Oh relax Tyson, I think this is cool, getting to go to a different world and meet people with different monsters just like ours but they use it in a different way," Max said, he turned to Tomoyo
"Hey Tomoyo you think we might warp again to your world?" he asked
"Oh it's nothing special really.." she responded
"Pfft can you two just give it a rest, are you love or something?" Tyson said with his hands behind his back.
Both Max and Tomoyo were literally shocked and surprised by Tyson's sudden remark. Tomoyo turned a crimson red and turned away from Max, she was so embarassed she thought she was going to cry in humilation.
"Hey Tyson what's with the sour attitude today huh? You're usually the person who loves adventures? Or are just mad at me cause unlike you I finally found a girl that cares?Ohh what happened to you and Hilary?" Max remarked, clearly testing Tyson's patience.
"Excuse me? What was that suppose to mean?" Tyson twitched stopping to face Max.
"Max.." Tomoyo quietly ushed, tugging on his arm to persuade him not to fight.
"You heard me. You and Hilary,"
"Who?"
"You heard me, you guys have been having some unresolved problems and you get jealous when you see me with Tomoyo"
"Oh come on that's bullshit, I don't like Hilary period!" Tyson said pushing his face at Max.
"Admit it," Max shot back.
Tyson harshly grabbed Max by the front of his shirt and pulled him closer.
"Guys stop it!" Tomoyo cried, tears welled in her eyes and were threatening to spill.
"Tyson what has gotten into you, let me go, you're scaring Tomoyo," Max said trying to turn his head to her.
She was standing there watching them, quivering a bit and sniffling. Her eye wasn't to the viedo-camera but she held it in an upright position towards them. Maybe she was still recording?
"Please,stop it, this isn't time to fight," Tomoyo pleaded again.
Tyson looked at her and then looked at Max and released him.
"Sorry dude, I'm in a kind of in a bad mood, This whole situation, you know? I'm going off by myself for awhile," Tyson kept his eyes to the ground as he walked away, ashamed of himself.
"Tyson.." Max called out outstretching his hand as if to pull Tyson back but he decided against it.
"Max.. I'm sorry if this is my fault," Tomoyo whimpered.
"No Tomoyo, It's okay, let's go," Max forced a smile at her, trying to get her spirits up again.
"Li! I just want to get the hell out of here" Meilin groaned and complained to Li.
Rei just followed behind them quietly.
" Ack Meilin," Li said blushing as Meilin clung closely to him, hugging his arm.
Li's attitude seem to quiet down a bit when she was with him. He didn't yell or nudge her away, he just sighed and accepted his cruelfate.
Rei smiled to himself, 'Those two remind me of Mariah and myself, she was always hung up on me...hung up on me..'
"Hey what are smiling at Tiger boy?" Meilin snorted turning her head back to see Rei.
"Uh. nothing," he quickly said. 'Tiger boy?" He thought again.
Rei continued to keep a look out for Kai. 'Is Kai actually here? He has to be, if not then why would Dranzer be here?'
"Pfft what do you say we dodge this Tiger boy and find a way out of here" Meilin whispered into Li's ears.
"We can't do that Meilin, Maybe if we unite his group together it might be the key to getting us back home," Li replied.
"Oh okay" Meilin agreed.
Silence.. silence and mroe silence.
Rei couldn't take the uncomfortable silence, he had to break it.
"So Meilin what do you like do?" Rei asked, quietly.
"Me? Well I'm the queen of martial arts," she replied proudly.
"Oh that's neat, I use to do some martial arts myself too," Rei answered shyly scratching behind his head.
"Oh yea," Meilin replied giving him a sly, sneaky, glare from the corner of her eye.
Suddenly she let go of Li's arm and suddenly spun around and did a back kick on Rei.
"Woah! Take it easy there!"
"Impossible!" Meilin cried as Rei stood calmly holding her foot which was about to smack him in the face, he blocked it without so much as breaking a sweat.
"Oh yea well take this!" Meilin yelled as she used her other foot to kick Rei, quickly flipping on her hands to keep her balance.
"Meilin we dont have time for this," Li said
" Woah do you see those kids over there" a spectator from the crowd said.
"Wow that's some sweet Martial Arts," someone else inthe crowd cried.
Li got increasingly, nervous and uncomfortable as more and more onlookers crowded around to watch Meilin and Rei fight.
Rei quickly jumped back to avoid her second kick, Once he let go of her foot, Meilin quickly flipped back on her feet and started using her hands to throw blows at him. He quickly blocked them.
"Hey you aren't as bad as you look," He grinned
"What do you mean! A bad as I looked!" Meilin repeated growling in frustration.
"I mean for a girl," he grinned again.
"Take that back!" she yelled as she quickly stooped down and delivered a kick from under his feet that almost took him off balance.
"Go Go Go!" The crowds were cheerings.
"Go pig tail girl!" some other little girls were yelling.
"Meilin cut it out, you are so embarrassing," Li urged.
However Rei and Meiling continued at it, Meilin was more on the offensive side where Rei was defensive, obviously cause he didn't want to hit a girl in public.
"Are you done yet," he asked casually standing still with one hand on his hip and the other on his side.
Meilin panted heavily, burning with fury, frustration and humiliation. She snarled at him again.
"Ok ok let's just call it a tie," Rei suggested.
"Never!" Meilin yelled rushing up to him. Rei yet again blocked her attack, and then swung her over his shoulder.
"Show's over folks nothing here to see," he chuckled nervously at the spectators, then made a run for it.
" Arrg you jerk lemme go, Li! Li!" Meilin cried.
'I don't know that girl..' herepeated to himself following them,pushing his way through the crowd.. ' i don't know her...'
"Oh Kero, hang on, I'm going to get you out of that beyblade thingy," Sakura said to herself quietly.
Kenny hadn't said anything to the strangers, he was eager to find Kai and focused is attention to identifing him within the crowd.
Yugi walked next to the sad Sakura who just stared at the beyblade entrusted to her that contained the spirit of Cerberus.
"So.. uh who exactly isKero again?" Yugi asked clearing his throat.
"He's my gaurdian, whenever I need help catching Clow Cards he's always there to help me, he's a real you know," Sakura replied.
"Oh..that's neat, hopepfully if we resolve this situation do you think I can have my monsters back," asked Yugi twiddling his thumbs shyly, avoid eye contact with the pretty brunette girl ( who for once wans't Tea)
"Yea, I can understand your monsters mean alot to you, I hope we can take them out of the Clow Card form," Sakura agreed, nodding her head and smiling.
He smiled back.
"Oh this isn't getting us anywhere, What if Kai didn't come to this world with us," Kenny asked worriedly.
"Don't worry Chief," Sakura said hopefully. "Let's not lose hope just yet okay?" Sakura smiled at him sweetly.
"Right.." Kenny said blushing slightly rubbing his nose shyly.
They continued walking, searching, but couldn't find any trace of Kai. Eventually they met up with Joey,Tea and Hilary.
"You guys find anything?" Joey asked.
"Nothing, I'm afraid," Yugi replied shaking his head.
"Aw man that's too bad, now what?" Hilary sighed.
"Yea it's getting awfully late and we have no where to stay," Sakura said looking at the orangish sky, the sun had almost completely set.
"Yea and we go to get back home Yugi, we have homework and school tomorrow remember?" Tea said.
"Oh yea sorry guys, what will all of you do?" Yugi asked worriedly at Sakura.
"Don't worry Yugi I'm sure we'll find a place to stay the night, don't worry about us ok?" Sakura tilted her head and smiled sweetly at him again.Yugi could feel butterflies in his stomach 'God she's cute' he thought.
"We'll go see if we could join up with the others ya'll go home and maybe we'll meet again." Kenny said.
"Yea," Tea agreed.
"Hey Yugi, one more thing," Sakura pulled out The Dark Magic card which was actually Yugi's monster card.
"Here I want you to have it, it's not like a duel monster's card but until we sort this mess out I want you to hold onto it,"
"Really Sakura? Are you sure?"
"Hey it's your card, so take it ok," Sakura took Yugi's hand and placed the card in it.
"Thanks Sakura," he said smiling at her.
Kenny and Hilary already started walking off, so did Yugi and Joey,but Tea came to Sakura.
"Just to let you know Sakura, lay off Yugi.Youtwo may be the same height buthe's too old for you," she whispered in Sakura's ear.
"You like him don't you Tea?" Sakura said smiling back.
She blushed but said nothing.
"I know you do, don't worry I won't be here for long and soon we'll be back to our regular lives, it'll belike none of this never happened,"
"Ok Sakura, promise me ok?" Tea pleaded
"Come on Tea let's get outta of here!" Joey called.
"I promise Tea," Sakura whispered, then they both went their separate ways, till they met again.
