A.N. Ok when I said it get better in this chapter I lied so maybe you should go catch some z's. Even read some history books just don't read this chapter unless you won't drool all over your keyboard. I'm warning you it's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really boring.

Disclaimer. I haven't received any official looking documents except my school papers. So I'm still waiting.

Chapter 2 Victoria's got a new secret

------

Tala looked from side to side wondering if there was a way to enter the department store without being labeled a pervert. He had to enter if he was to help the girls get clothing since they had none under their black cloaks. Which he had figured out back in his apartment when he had asked them to take off their cloaks.

-------

2 hours earlier.

-----------

Serene had left a small note on the table telling him that he needed to help them in many ways that would really need him to sacrifice himself. He didn't understand what she meant by that so he just left it alone. Tala turned to the girls who hadn't moved much and that were probably very hot under the cloak since it was already 96 degrees in the apartment.

"You can take your cloaks off," he said simply.

They turned to look at him their eyes hidden beneath the shadows created by the hoods. Slowly they pulled back the hoods and stood up untying their cloaks. As they pulled out the strand from the knot they let the cloaks fall to their feet.

Tala stared unbelievably at the sight. For girls were standing before him utterly naked. He felt his face grow hot and as quickly as he could he raced to them putting their cloaks over their bodies.

"Don't take them off," he said pulling the last one over one of the girls. "Serene could've warned me," Tala whispered to himself as he headed to the note, which was lying face down on the table.

He took a look at it and noticed some more writing on the back. 'Oh by the way you'll need to take them shopping. They're not wearing anything under the cloaks.'

A small red mark appeared by his head as he finished reading.

----------

So that's why he was here right now standing outside the women's department store. As he remembered the note he clenched his hands. Taking a deep breath he entered the shop with every women's eye on him. He tried not to look uncomfortable which he thought was pointless. A woman approached him looking at him suspiciously.

"Can I help you sir?" She asked.

"Ah…Yes you see I'm looking for some …undergarments for a present for my friend," he finished lamely.

The sales woman didn't seem convince.

"So tell me what size is your friend?" She asked.

Tala thought hard about this. 'Damn I don't know what am I going to do,' he thought.

"I'll be right back he," said running out as quick as possible.

He headed to the cloth department store where he had left the girls to look around for some clothes. When he arrived there he found them in the same spot he had left them in and hour ago. His sweat dropped when he saw them.

"Why haven't you guys entered yet?" He asked.

"This one does not know what to buy," said one of them.

"Ok, then. We'll come with me while we go buy you some under garments," Tala said gesturing them to follow him.

Once more he was back in the department store and watching as the sales woman helped the girls find some under clothes for them. Every now and then she would send them into the dressing room where they'd come out wearing very detailed lingerie. After he had paid the woman and was out of that nightmare he let out a sigh of relief.

"Are you hungry?" He asked them as they passed a pizza shop.

"Hungry?" They asked.

"Yeah you know eat," he said gesturing to many of the customers that were eating.

They nodded their head and Tala led them into the shop ordering a large pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese and five drinks.

After they had eaten he lead them back into the department store they had been standing in front off. He felt much more comfortable entering this one and was glad that no one was staring at him suspiciously.

"Hello sir, may we help you with anything?" Asked the sales man.

"Yes they're looking for outfits," Tala said gesturing to the girls who were looking around like five year olds that were in a strange place.

"Very well I'll have Molly help them. Oh Molly be a dear and help these four young ladies out," he said calling a very fashionably dressed girl to him.

"Ok so are you looking for formal or casual outfits?" She asked Tala.

"Casual," he stated.

"Great then lets look around shall we," she said leading the way. "Tell me what are you names?" She asked turning back to the girls.

"This one's name is Ledah," said the tallest one, which appeared to look a lot like Tyson.

The one that looked like Rei said," this one's name is Ellie.

"This one's name is Fia," said the one that reminded Tala of Max.

The last one seemed a bit shy," this one's name is Malice," she said.

Tala new exactly who this one reminded him of. Kai.

"What beautiful names," Molly said.

So for the next three hours Tala made small chat with Molly while watching the four girls try different outfits on. At last he made his way out with 23 bags and balancing four boxes of shoes.

Ledah stopped and looked at the poster that hung in front of one of the shop windows.

"This one knows who that is. This one is part of him," she said making Tala turn to look back at her.

"Whom are you talking about?" Asked Tala approaching her.

He looked at the poster with Tyson's face on it. The heading said something about the tournament that had passed weeks ago.

"Tyson you mean. Yes I thought you looked a lot like him with differences of course," he said looking down at her chest then looking away.

"Come on you'll see him and the rest of the Bladebreakers later on," he said walking away from the poster.

The girls followed him and didn't make a sound as they got in his car and drove away from the mall.

'They are so alike yet they seem like new born babies learning about the world around them,' he thought as he drove to his apartment.

He stopped the car and climbed out waiting for the girls to come out too. The trunk popped open and he got all the bags out. He led them away from the car and into the building. As he entered the door he was greeted by one of his neighbors.

"You've been doing some shopping I see," he said staring at all the bags he held. He turned away from him and looked at the girls that stood behind him. "Who might these lovely ladies be?' he asked.

"Friends," Tala said making his way past his neighbor.

"Well I hope they stay around," he said going out the door. "For your sake."

Tala hated him for a simple reason that he was always being nosy. He made his way to the elevator and got in pressing the button to his floor.

The door slid open and he and the girls got off walking down the hall and turning to the right where they continued walking until the last door at the end.

Tala noticed the small package in front of his door and looked down the hall. Picking it up he slid his key in and opened the door dropping the bags on the floor and heading towards the kitchen where he opened the letter that was attached to the package.

The door shut behind him as he tore open the letter and read, 'I suppose you found out about a small detail I forgot to mention to you about the girls,' it began. 'Small detail,' he thought. 'I'm so very sorry but it slipped my mind. Anyway in the package are some things the girls will need to protect themselves. Don't worry they'll recognize the things that belong to them. Tala they need to meet them and soon. Please take the girls to them; they're the only ones who can protect them. Serene.'

Tala put the letter down and stared at the package. He picked it up and headed to the girls who were looking through the bags.

"This is yours," Tala said placing the package on the table.

Ledah looked up at him.

"What is this one suppose to do?" She asked.

"You open it," Tala said.

Ledah looked at the package and took it in her hands gently tearing off the tape. Inside there were four guns, with holsters and extra ammo. There were also some beyblades that were in there cases.

Each of the girls looked down at these objects and picked up what Tala thought belonged to them. He watched as they loaded their guns like they had done it a million times before.

"This one would like to see the one that she is part off," said Ledah standing up.

"Tyson you mean. Well it's late but I'll take you I have some things to discuss with Kai anyway," Tala said.
