Chapter Five dudes! I'm gonna make a short sequel called "Terra's Angel" and then another after that, which will conclude the Terra+Kai story, except that Terra might pop up again…But the sequel things will be after I finish this first. Read on!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Love Without Love

Terra looked at Kai solemnly and thought sadly, What have I done? I should've just let his Sons catch me when I had the chance…this is impossible!

Kai shifted his feet anxiously as he sat on the leathery couch. Could life be any more complicated? He wasn't very friendly to Tyson and Ray and Max and everybody else. Inside, Kai did feel left out a bit when Tyson and Max laughed together as trusting friends, and thought that he was being a bit of a jerk when he made everyone go looking for 'The Loner.'

"Kai. The Master uses stupid, unexpected ways in duels. They're never exactly physical. Of course, you get hit with force to die in the duels, but you don't punch and kick and all, it usually depends on mental movements, emotions, things like that. Except…they're never the same." Terra looked down and, without knowing it, fell asleep seconds later, her head in Kai's lap.

Terra's Dream

A skinny, beautiful blond lady was smiling sweetly at four year old Terra. She reached out and patted Terra's small head, saying, "My little Terra dear…go outside and play with your brother. Stay where I can see you! I couldn't bear to lose you, Terra." Terra skipped out the door and joined her older brother outside. Devin was only ten, so he could not have handled what came next. Inside their big white house, their mother screamed. Devin told Terra to stay there, because he believed all that had happened was maybe his mother cut herself badly. But when he opened the door, their mother was all but that. She was dead. And the murderer, in a black cloak, was right there. He beckoned to Devin to come, but Devin ran like a mad person, in the wrong direction—the front yard. The fence there was so high no one would be able to see him, and the lock took a minute to open. The man came out of the house and shot a powerful dark beam at him. Devin joined his mother. Terra heard the thumps of lifeless bodies, and ran. She lived as a thief for a few years for that was the only way. Then, the day before her eighth birthday, she was discovered. A sinister cloaked man reached for her…

Terra bolted upright. Of course. The Master had killed her family. But why? The duel was to be delayed. Weeks.

"Hn." It was Kai. He stared at the floor and absentmindedly picked up his drink. It spilled, and Terra laughed weakly.

"Y'know," Kai said, "Maybe you should join our team. Your beyblade's got power. Well?"

"Uh, okay." Even if Terra was going to feel sad for the rest of her life, or for the rest of her un-life, she decided she should try to make the best of it. She took Venus out of her pocket. "So. You gonna introduce me to the rest of the BladeBreakers?"

"So, you know our name already. Let's go. Hopefully, they're all where I think they are." Kai got up and walked away.

You'd think that by now he learned to wait for people. Terra followed him, grabbing a coat.

At Tyson's Place…

"Hey, Kai, who's your girlfriend?" That was the first stupid thing Tyson said when Kai arrived.

A cold smack on the face came as a reply. Now Terra really was wondering—was Kai afraid, annoyed, or just mean?

A blonde boy in a green shirt that had an M on it was grinning and laughing, and Terra could tell tell that he was very optimistic. Maybe even a little too much. "Hi Kai! Who's this?"

Terra punched Kai lightly in the arm. "Excuse me, but weren't you going to introduce us?"

"Hn. This hyper and unnaturally happy person is Max, that idiot is Tyson, that guy over there is Ray, then Kenny and Hilary, who aren't bladers but Kenny's our researcher, and Hilary's…a girl."

"Hey!" That was Hilary.

"Kai! Mind telling us who your friend is?"

"I'm Terra," she said before Kai could say something stupid about her.

"Okay then, hi Terra." Tyson winked and that received a slap from Hilary. Terra could already tell that they liked each other.

"Yet again Tyson was the idiot," Kai muttered under his breath.

"So, do you have a bitbeast?" Ray asked, trying to change the subject.

"Yes. It's Venus. Killer whale."

Ten minutes later…

"You're right, it is killer! You knocked me out!" Tyson exclaimed, snatching up Dragoon.

"I want next!" Max said, high-fiving Tyson. Terra thought he was a bit childish.

Kenny looked up from his laptop. He appeared to have no eyes. Terra wondered how he could see through his thick hair. "Wow, guys! Dizzy says that Terra's power goes off the charts! She'd be a valuable addition to our team! Should I call Mr. Dickenson?"

"Go ahead," Ray said, raising his arms so that his launcher was eye level. Apparently, Max wasn't quick enough—he'd be battling Terra last.

"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!" Max cried enthusiastically.

Driger and Venus battled it out. "Wha! Venus is almost just as fast as Driger!" Kenny said. That sent Ray's plan of tiring her out into the trash.

"Hm, so what did you do to get on this team?" Terra asked, watching the two beyblades carefully. Ray, also not looking up, answered with, "Met 'em at the World Championships, and just asked to join because I'm a good blader."

"Good, eh? Not to boast, but I think I'm terrific!" With that, Terra finished him off by gaining a burst of speed.

"Huh? What?" Ray looked around for his beyblade. "Normally I'm the one to make my beyblade 'disappear' but…ahh!" He looked up and his tiger was bounding toward him. It hit him in the head and he fell down.

"Ray, are you okay?" Tyson rushed over but Ray waved him off. "I'm, I'm fine. Wow, you are terrific!"

"Wicked!" Max said and stepped up, still laughing with his "heh heh, heh's." Sticking his beyblade to the launcher, and STILL laughing, he finally shut up. "Sorry, heh heh, it's just, it's so cool!"

Kai, unlike Max, was not very exciting about his announcing. "3, 2, 1, let it rip!"

Terra mentally ordered Venus to leap over Draciel. She just realized that all the bit beasts' names began with D: Dranzer, Dragoon, Dizzy, Driger, Draciel. For some reason, Terra knew that Max's strategy was defensive moves, and patience, the opposite of Tyson.

"Ahhh!" Terra didn't look up when Max spoke. Draciel, in the middle of an attack and with water dripping from the edges, sailed out of the dish. "Wow, heh hee hee, I guess you're worthy."

"At least you didn't get hit in the head," Ray said, making his way over. Terra glanced at the bench. Kenny was gone.

A very soft conversation filled her ears.

"Excuse me, Mr. Dickenson, there's a new girl…"

"Yes I know, Kenny. Her name is Terra, correct? I hear she is very powerful. Am I right?"

"Oh yes sir, she's beaten Tyson, Kai, Ray and Max, all of them! Her bit beast's name is Venus, it's a shamoo."

"Ah well Kenny, would you like me to add her to the team?"

"Oh yes please Mr. Dickenson sir, that would be great!"

"Kenny, do you know if Terra will be staying around for some time? I want to meet her in person."

"Oh, I think so…hopefully. Where are you now?"

"On my way, at a phone booth, calling a taxi."

"Oh, well, we'll be waiting. Bye!"

Kai shook Terra's shoulder. He wondered why she looked as if she was listening to something. Maybe she was.

"Hm? Oh. Hi."

"Hi," Kai said dully, rolling his eyes. She looks cute like that. Oh man what's wrong with me…?

"I do?" Terra smiled with one raised eyebrow.

"Do what?" Tyson asked, walking over.

"Nothing, Tyson." Kai reached into his pocket, retrieved a cookie, and tossed it at Tyson to keep him busy. He lunged for the cookie and happily munched it.

A tiny red-head came out of one of the rooms. "Hey Tyson, whatcha doing? Hey, is that a cookie! Gimme some!"

"Oh, and that's Daichi. Ray thinks they match well because they're both always hungry and impatient—except they're always fighting," Kai said, turning around. "Dinner."

Terra followed him quickly.

"We're going somewhere special tonight." The way Kai said "we're" made Terra's thoughts about being mean and all wash away. But he was still hiding something, she could feel it.
