Disclaimers- I'll say it for the tenth time, I don't own beyblade

-Begin chapter ten-

Swim Time Fun

Lily stood up from her position.

"I have some other stuff I need to do. Nice chatting with all of you though."

"Just one more question."

"What is it, Hiwatari?"

Kai pulled a letter out of his pocket and tossed it to her. "You wouldn't happen to know who sent me this, would you?"

Lily looked at the letter for a few moments, she then tossed it back to Kai. "Actually that was me."

"Who asked you to send it to me?"

"Now if I told you that, it wouldn't be a secret, now would it? Ja!"

Lily left the room, and in a few minutes she had managed to leave the building, she headed to her hotel, and headed towards the beach.

-The Next Day-

Kai looked at the pool in front of him, wondering just how in blue blazes he had managed to get himself talked into coming here.

"Hey, Kai, come on, it can't be that bad, can it?"

Kai sent a very very cold glare at Tyson. Kai, had been planning on getting some much needed rest and then doing a bit of practice, his plans for the day had not included going to a pool. "..."

Kai left the group and headed for a wall, sitting down in front of it. His left leg was bent so it was horizontally in front of him and his right foot was in front of his left ankle. He rested his left arm on his left knee and just let the other lie limp. He placed his head on his left knee and still managed to look annoyed.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'."

Tyson and the rest stood staring at Kai for a few seconds before he sent them a death glare that could only be interpreted as "leave me the hell alone". They all walked over to the diving board and Max and Tyson immediately dove in doing cannonballs, the waves from their splashes nearly covered the entire pool and the surrounding area.

Rei decided against diving in and simply jumped from the edge of the pool neatly and cleanly into the pool water at the deep end. The neko-jin started to swim lazily around the border of the pool.

Kenny and Hillary went in the shallow end, deciding against confronting Max and Tyson who were getting an earful from the lifeguard.

About twenty minutes later, Tyson and Max were released and joined Hillary and Kenny, starting a splash fight.

Kai leered at his team mates. Why did they have to drag him along here? He had wanted to get a little extra sleep and then do some training, but noooo, they had to wake him up extra early and force him into a swim suit then drag him along to the pool.

-Begin Flashback Sequence-

Kai growled and started to pound at the wooden door.

"Let me out, now!"

"Sorry Kai, you aren't allowed out unless you change into the trunks."

Kai sighed and glared at the door before leaning his back against it, and sitting. He could do this all day. He closed his eyes shut, it was so bright in this room.

-Hours later-

"Guys, let me out!"

Kai was seriously getting pissed off now. He had to have been in this bright room for nearly three hours. They wouldn't even let him get a bottle of water. The heat from all the lights was starting to make him thirsty.

"Sorry Kai, you need to change first."

Kai sighed for the hundredth time today. He could stand the thirst, but he was starting to feel a little sick. For his health he should change. He sighed again in defeat and changed into the pair of swimming trunks. They were at least black, so that was a plus.

"Okay, let me out, I give up."

Oh boy were they going to pay for this the next day in training.

-End Flashback Sequence-

Kai sighed, there were several reasons he refused to go swimming that much. The girls just starring at him as if he was a god came to mind first and foremost.

"Marco!"

"Polo!"

Kai sent a particularly dirty look at Tyson when he glared at him and Max. The navy-haired boy had come up with the idea of forcing Kai to go with them, he had managed to worm the info out of Hillary. Rei had, of course, been in town while they were torturing him, so he had no idea, otherwise he might have tried to get Kai out of that room a bit earlier. Rei knew better then to annoy Kai.

"HEY, YOU TWO, SHUT IT!"

Kai looked over to the lifeguard who was turning a bit red in the face, he had been thinking of saying the same thing to them. He glared at the ground, why did he have to be stuck with such children that insisted upon torturing him? The answer was, it was better then the abbey, or that private school.

"Hey, Kai."

Kai looked up to the person who had dared to talk to him while he was so annoyed, then he looked quickly down to the ground.

"What do you want, Lily?"

Lily snickered and crossed her arms.

"I'm surprised to see you here."

"Likewise."

Lily rolled her eyes.

"I swear my team is out to get me."

"…"

"Forced me to go here. You?"

"Hn."

Lily shrugged, she didn't expect much more talking to Kai. Actually she was surprised he was talking to her what-so-ever, he sure didn't look too happy about being here.

She jumped cleanly into the water and then swam over to her team mates.

"Hey, Leo, come on in."

The red-haired boy she was talking to just silently looked at her then over to two blondes splash fighting in the pool.

"I don't want to."

Lily followed his gaze over to the two.

"Leo, I know you miss Leslie, but can you at least try to have some fun. Your sister wouldn't want you to have been miserable."

"And what do you know?"

"A lot more then you do, squirt." Lily sighed, it was tough talking to her little brother sometimes.

Rei grinned as he spotted a familiar black haired girl in the pool area. He got out of the pool and crept up on her as silently as he could. He suddenly let out a good imitation of a tiger's roar, kind of silent, so no one else could hear. Rei started laughing once she jumped nearly ten feet into the air.

"Not funny, cousin!"

"I think it is."

Suddenly a strong fist collided with the top of his head, bonking him hard. "I say it isn't."

"Oww...okay."

Daisy smirked.

A cell phone started to ring in the beyblade theme song.

"Hey, Leo, could you get that for me?"

"Whatever, Lily."

The red haired boy reached under a silver and gold colored towel and brought out a cell phone. "Hello?...yeah okay, I'll tell her." Leo closed the phone and looked over to his older sister. "Hey Lily, Hitoshi just called. You need to meet him at the park, pronto."

Lily blinked and nodded her head. She got out of the pool and wrapped the towel around her slim figure. "Hey, Leo. Wanna come?"

"Yeah, sure."

Lily and Leo left the pool area, with a set of mauve eyes following them. Kai got up from his position and left too. I mean all he had to do was to come here, right? They had never said how long he had to say. Fortunately for him, none of his team noticed he left for about another half an hour.

-End Chapter Ten-

Hitoshi is Hiro, Tyson's older brother, however I like his Japanese name, Hitoshi more than Hiro.
