Oh yeah, another chapter!

One extra comment, since Rei is a neko-jin, I thought I'd give him some cat-like abilities, like sense of smell and night vision and crap, but its not official! There did the officiality disclaimer. Oh yeah, any parents besides Tyson's dad and Max's parents are completely of my own invention, so there!

!-Begin Chapter Eighteen-!

Reunions

Rei looked to his right as he caught a scent in the air that was familiar, and it was definitely not food. In one of the booths they passed he spotted the source of the familiar, and unique, scent. Sitting next to each other were two adults, male and female. The man had black hair kept in the same style as Rei's. The only difference was that his hair was longer and coiled around his feet, it was wrapped tightly in bandaging, and then formed a small tuft at the end of the hair tail. He wore a tunic styled black shirt with white trim. He wore gray pants and black Chinese styled shoes. He was extremely muscular. The woman next to him had silky black hair she kept in a pony tail at the nape of her neck, tied in place with a purple sash. She wore a white dress that spilt on the sides halfway down her thigh. Covering her feet were black shoes.

Both of them had pointed ears and flashed extra sharp canines as they ate, overall their teeth seemed extra sharp. The man had bark colored eyes and the woman had large amber eyes. She smiled and turned her head to look at Rei.

"Rei, its been so long. I'm glad to see you again."

"Kamala?" The man turned his eyes to the woman sitting next to him and looked to her fixed point of attention. He beamed at the sight of Rei as well. Rei, seemed too shocked to speak.

"Yo, Rei, you know them?" Tyson spoke up, after a few seconds he waved his hand in front of Rei's amber eyes. "Rei? Earth to Rei?"

Lily bows her head at the two adults, ignoring Tyson's yelp of pain as Rei batted away the offending hand, with extra sharp nails. "Mr. And Mrs. Kon, its nice to see you again."

Kamala turned her attention from Rei to Lily, "Please, Lily, we've asked you several times to call us Kamala and Fei."

"Wait, Mr. And Mrs. Kon? That means," Max suddenly realized what he had said, he studied the two adults carefully. "You guys must be related to Rei!"

"They're my mom and dad actually, Max." He looked at his parents, having gained his power of speech once more, "Its great to see you again, its been years."

"Way too long. Come, sit down." She patted the floor next to herself. Rei took the offer and kneeled down next to his mom. Kamala looked up, noticing the others, "Why don't your friends sit here as well? I'd like to meet them." The BladeBreakers, Hillary, Salima and Mariam sat down. Salima next to Rei, Kai at the end of that side, Tyson sat on the other side, Hillary next to him, Max next to her, Mariam next to him, and Kenny next to her. Lily, Daisy and Lea stayed standing.

"I think we'll sit somewhere else. Its pretty crowded already." Lily and Lea walked off.

Daisy hung back a little before speaking, "I'll talk to you guys later." And running off after the other two.

Kamala looked at the mysterious group of seven, mysterious to her at least. "So who are you all?"

"My name's, Tyson! Me and Rei are on the same team."

"I'm Hillary."

"Max! I'm on the same team as Rei and Tyson."

"Mariam, I'm on a rivaling team of Rei's."

"Kenny, I'm the technical expert of the BladeBreakers, everyone calls me chief."

"Humph." Kai crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

Rei laughed, "He's Kai, he's our captain, but he doesn't speak much, although he's got some great advice."

Kai took to silence, since Rei had given him an accurate introduction he didn't feel it necessary to talk.

Kamala laughed slightly and smiled at Kai, "Oh? Tell me, Kai, is your last name Hiwatari?"

Kai glared and looked off to the side, "Humph."

"Oh, him? Yeah, his last name's Hiwatari." Suddenly Tyson's stomach growled loudly and Tyson doubled over, crossing his arms over his torso. "Oh man, I'm starving."

Kamala laughed, she seemed to be a perpetually good mood. "Why don't you all get something to eat?"

Everyone nodded and got up, except Kai who is never part of the group of everyone. Rei had to walk carefully behind him. Fei looked at Kai, who had crossed his arms and sat at the table.

"Kai was it?" Kai's red and gray eyes looked up at Fei. "You're going to be training in Lily's group, are you not?"

"Hn. Not if I can help it."

"You do know that until you're familiar with the island, you have to train with someone who does know it, otherwise you can go no where?" Fei got what he had meant by that statement.

"Hn, maybe I will then."

"Then I suggest you eat something now. Lily's not lenient on anyone, her training style here is harsh, and you'll need the extra nutrition, other wise you'll have to leave early." Fei used his chopsticks to pick up a clump of rice and stick it into his mouth. After swallowing the white grains he put his chopsticks to rest on the ceramic bowl.

"Hn, don't expect me to eat with Tyson around." Kai got up and overlooked the booths where everyone was seated, he quickly noticed none were empty and then found the one that Lily, Lea and Daisy were in.

Soon it became apparent why Kai refused to eat around Tyson eating to Kamala and Fei. The boy had no dignity. He made a large mess while eating, getting rice all over his face, the table around him, and occasionally managed to get food onto Hillary. Fei calmly picked a piece of rice out of his tea.

All through that day they worked hard on training until the sun started to set. Tyson and Max wearily staggered into Dragon Head for dinner. Kai felt rather weak as well, but he wasn't about to show any signs of weakness, perhaps Fei had been right, he should start eating just a little more so that he wouldn't feel like this anymore. Rei was hungry, he just wanted to go to sleep, though.

"I'm famished!"

"Yeah, me too, Tyson."

When they reached the large dining area, they all started off sitting in the same booth, but Lily, Lea, Molly, Kai, Rei and Daisy moved halfway through because of Tyson's eating manners.

"So, Lily, how come you know my parents?"

Daisy raised her hand, "That would be my fault, Rei. When she first brought me here I found they were workers here."

Lily put her tea glass down, "Of course, I had known them for about six years by then. As Rei has probably already realized, our team had gone to China six years ago, the White Tiger village to be more specific."

"You guys were in China?"

"Yep, to escape the press, a bunch of ten year olds getting into the finals, that was a shock to the press."

"So it was you guys."

Molly nodded, "Yeah, that was us."

"So, how did Salima loose her memory?"

"What did you say, Rei?"

"I know Salima came to my village with you guys, and when I found Salima, she told me that she can't remember anything up to two years ago."

Molly looked over to Lily, who had taken to silence and was focusing on her food, "Well, she was taken hostage, and one of us had to blade one of the groups members that had kidnapped her. Unfortunately, this was a kind of bit beast we had never seen before. Our team mate gave it her all, but, lost in the end. They gave Salima back to us, but they did something to her so that she had forgotten who we were."

"That's harsh."

"Yeah, considering she was the strongest blader on our team at the time."

"She was?"

"Yeah, extremely strong, but she was so stage frightened and camera shy that she'd always loose it in the world championships."

"Oh."

With that the conversation ended. After dinner was over, Lily led the BladeBreakers to a small wooden room with five pillows, mats and sheets for them to sleep on. She gave Hillary, Salima and Mariam the room across form them which held enough for the three to sleep on and for the four BeyGirls.

The next morning, Lily woke up early and walked downstairs to the dining area. Kai, who had also woken up early, came inside from the pond where he had been launching his blade repeatedly, he had been doing better than normal. He saw Lily walk past the hallway and followed, having nothing better to do.

Lily walked into the kitchen, putting some water on to boil. She pulled out a mug and spooned some brown powder into the mug. When the water was boiling she poured some of it into her mug and put the kettle back onto the burner, which she turned off. She mixed the liquid with the spoon and took a sip.

"Kai, I know that you're there, stop hiding."

Kai walked into the kitchen and glared at her, "Hn, hot chocolate in the middle of summer?"

Lily nodded and drunk some more, "You can call me crazy if you want, but its as bad as the people who drink coffee in the middle of summer." She took a few more sips before nodding to the overly large refrigerator, "You can get something to drink from there if you want, cups are in the cabinet to the left it."

Kai was thirsty so he got a cup and found some mango juice and poured some into the glass and drank it. In a minute two people walked into the kitchen. One was Kirao, now that he wasn't wearing the uniform with the cap covering his head, it was obvious that he had thick dark blue hair that was almost black and it was spiky, almost like Kai's but not quite. He had dark gray eyes. He was wearing a dark blue tank top with red trim around the sleeves. He had loose slate colored jeans and black shoes. He had a gray belt with a silver clasp that was comprised of two triangles jointed together to form a square.

The other one had light purple hair with soft streaks of light teal, pale aquamarine, lime green and ice blue mixed in it. Her eyes were a deep burgundy color. She was wearing a black tank top and a pair of dark blue pants. She was wearing silver and royal blue sneakers. They both seemed to be the same height.

"Oh, Lily, you're up."

Lily looked over to Kirao, who had addressed her, "Ohayo, Kirao." Kai studied the two carefully, for some reason, they reminded him of his parents, but he didn't think so, but he hadn't seen them since he was four.

"Kai, these are Lea's parents." Kai nodded, "They also happen to be yours."

Kai looked up at Lily and blinked, "But Lea's last name is..."

"Hiwatari like yours, well that was her birth name. She got it changed to Saikoiyo."

Kai's eyes widened. Not only ere his parents here, but he had a, "sister?"

"Oh, you catch on fast. I believe having the exact same parents make us brother and sister." Lea walked into the room. She was wearing a black jean jacket with flower designs stitched into them with black thread. She was wearing a pair of dark purple jeans and a loose black shirt under her jacket. Her deep purple hair with the same streaks in them as her mom was kept back in a braid as usual. She jammed a hand into her pocket, letting her own burgundy eyes glance over at her family. "Lily, I'm training with Mark in the cave area today after breakfast."

Lily nodded her head, "Fine, just don't over heat yourself with that jacket on like you did last time."

"Hn."
