Phoenix from the Flames-2-Something like that will happen but not exactly. But the father and son will be face to face (sort of) at the end though, just not in a beybattle.

RavenToriBlack-I actually planned to do that but I wasn't sure by the time I started this story (for the TaraxGouxRayna idea). But since you want it, I guess I could do that…in the sequel (yes, there's going to be a sequel). But I can make a few hints here and there in this story though.

skarmory-Yes I know, GASP!

Atem's Queen of The Nile-Oh okay, and it's updated for ya! And everyone else of course!

"WHAT? Gou! Come on!" Makoto nagged.

"Come on what? I just don't want to train today," said Gou calmly while sitting against a tree with his arms crossed and watching everyone else again.

"But Gou! You've been skipping practice for days now!" Makoto complained standing in front of Gou and having his fists on his hips when he bends down to talk to Gou straight in the face.

"So?"

"SO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SO?" Makoto shouted and everyone else behind him that was training just stopped and looked t him.

"Makoto, calm down there," said Mark.

"Sorry, overreacted," said Makoto with a sweat drop.

"Obviously," said Kaiya and Makoto grew a vein.

"Say that to my face, Kaiya!"

"Lay off, Makoto, I just don't want to train, okay? It's not like there's a tournament coming up anytime soon," said Gou. Makoto sighed, not knowing what to do,

"Get back to training everyone," said Makoto and everyone did. Makoto sat down next to Gou.

"I know something's bothering you; tell me what it is, Gou. I'm your best friend, tell me," said Makoto putting his hand on Gou's shoulder. Gou just shook him off, got off and walked away.

"Now you're giving me the cold shoulder! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? What's your problem?" Makoto shouted after him.

"…You're my problem, Makoto!" and Gou gave him a glare that Makoto has never seen thrown at him before, never have from his best friend.

"Gou…"

Kaiya called back Dranzer and fast paced after Gou,

"Hey! You apologize to Makoto right now!"

"Shut up!" and Gou kept walking. This surprised Kaiya; Gou's argued back with her and talks back to her when they disagree, but not saying shut up like you meant it.

"Gou! What's wrong with you? Has some of Father's personality genes finally started to kick into your noggin?" Kaiya asked and this got Gou to stop.

"I said, SHUT UP! And don't say that about me and Father again! YOU UNDERSTAND?" Gou shouted at her without even looking at her. Kaiya stopped going after him and just stood there with a worried, surprised, and disappointed look. Kaiya walked back to the backyard and saw that Makoto was back inside his house and everyone stopped training, surprised at what happened.

"Is Makoto okay?" Kaiya asked,

"Not really," said Mark,

"Since I'm his second best friend, I'll just go check on him," said Tai and quickly went inside.

"Where's Gou?" Rayna asked,

"He's somewhere," said Kaiya.

"Something's wrong," said Cam holding Dizzi from being scared.

"You said it, I know Gou's got a temper sometimes but not a temper tantrum," said Mark.

"That wasn't even a tantrum, he was just so angry just because Makoto was asking him something," said Rayna.

"But Cam's got a point, something's wrong with Gou, and I'm just as worried as you guys. (Sad sigh) I feel like that's not him, yet I know it is…" said Kaiya and her hands went to her arms like she's holding herself.

"I'll go and talk to Gou, he always goes to me when he needs a friend to talk to," said Mark and jogged off to find Gou.

"Wait, I want to go too!" said Rayna going after Mark. Kaiya lets her arms back down and went inside to see how Makoto was feeling with Cam.

"Stupid! I just want to be left alone!" Gou shouted out loud walking wherever he felt like going.

"Gou!"

"Great, it's Mark," Gou mumbled to himself and turned around,

"Great, Rayna too."

Mark and Rayna caught up to him,

"Gou! What's the matter with you today?" Mark asked,

"Are you feeling alright?" Rayna asked,

"Fine, never better," he answered quickly.

"Are you sure?" Rayna asked with concern in her voice.

"Yeah, nothing gets to me anymore, nothing," Gou replied.

"Well I think something got to you whether it's mental or physical because you're acting like a total jerk!"

"Mark! Take it easy!"

"Rayna, can't you see I'm trying to talk some since into this thick-headed Dragon-Phoenix? I hardly scold or lecture, but you definitely need one! Makoto is upset, Kaiya is worried and scared, and I'm angry!" said Mark angrily and his hand turned into fists. Gou didn't flinch, budge or seemed to have felt anything.

"Please, like I care," said Gou and this shocked both Mark and Rayna. Gou was about to turn around to leave when Mark grabbed by the shoulder to spin him back around. Gou took this as a threat and started a fight with Mark.

"Come on Kaiya!" Tai nagged.

"Okay, I'm coming!" she said running after him.

"I'm sure Makoto will be fine after a few hours, so let's go find Gou and the others," Tai suggested.

"Might as well," said Kaiya.

"Knowing Gou, he's somewhere around the park," said Tai and the park was around the corner so they headed there.

"Take that back!"

"Not until you do, Hiwatari!" and the two were rolling on the ground and can never stand all the way up before one of them knocks the other down again. They were punching, kicking and shouted at each other. And then Tai and Kaiya had to come in to see that.

"Gou!" Kaiya was surprised her brother is fighting with a friend.

"What the? Mark!"

The two ignored them and continued on until Rayna's had enough of this nonsense and stepped into the fight breaking them apart with ease…well, she had to physically hit them away from each other.

"ENOUGH! What's wrong with you two? You're both acting like kids!" she scolded.

"Ouch…" Mark was holding his cheek where Rayna punched him and Tai helped him up.

"He started it," said Mark.

"You know what? I don't care who started it! I just care about you boys growing up!" she bit back.

Kaiya was trying to help Gou up but he shrugged her off and had one arm on his stomach where Rayna kicked him.

"First off, I didn't start it; second, I find it unfair to have a master martial artist step into my fight!"

"First off, I'm not a master…yet, and second, I think you crossed the line today and I think I've had enough of your cruelty!"

"And I'm getting tired of you mothering the team all the time! Especially me! I HATE IT! You're not my mother, you're just a girl from China, and the only girl that I allow to take care of me is my mother!" Gou shouted up against her face.

Rayna's fists tightened.

"…Just a girl huh?"

"Yeah, just like Kaiya," he said and gave her a quick look before walking past her.

"So I'm just a girl you know too?" Kaiya asked without turning around.

"Now you are," he answered and continued walking.

Kaiya for once felt pain,

"Gou…why?" she asked in a whisper.

"Just a girl from China? I don't mean anything to him? Not even as a friend?" Rayna asked herself in whisper also.

"I can't believe him!" said Tai angrily, supporting Mark.

"Something's wrong with him, and I'm not talking about how much stronger his punches and kicks got," said Mark and winced a little.

"That's right Gou, you don't need friends! They never cared about you! They even started a fight with you, you call that friendship? Bugging into your businesses and not understanding you, you don't need friends…or family! Forget your mother along with everyone else…" this voice said in Gou's head as he walks around town with bruises and scratches but he doesn't care

"No, not my mother, I love her, you can't make me, she's always cared for me, always has and I know she always will," Gou replied back.

"Oh really?

And all of a sudden, Gou gasped by surprise and felt like he was being thrown back into a memory, literally.

Flashback:

Gou-age 4

Kaiya-age 5

"6-7-8-9-10! Ready or not! Here I come!" Kaiya shouted and started to look around for Gou.

Gou chucked,

"She'll never find me here," he said by lamp where his father was reading a book,

"I suggest you find a better hiding spot," he said not taking his eyes off the book.

"No way! Kaiya won't find me here!"

"Hey Dad! Have you seen Gou?" Kaiya asked making is sound important.

"Sorry, I'm too busy to notice him," he answered.

"Oh okay…hey wait a minute!" Kaiya then looked over her Dad to see Gou there crouched into a ball.

"I found you Gou! Dad! You lied! You did too see him!"

"I know," he said still reading.

"My turn!" said Gou and started counting. Afterwards, he found her and they started again.

"I know where to hide this time!" said Gou and went outside, but he completely forgot he wasn't supposed to go outside without his parents' permission.

Gou was waiting outside by this tree and then from boredom, he fell asleep. He woke up because he felt wet, he saw that it was raining and it's also cold. Gou curled up to keep himself warm. Then the thunder and lightning scared him, now he doesn't want to move.

"Mom, Dad, Big Sister…I'm scared…" he murmured and couldn't stay awake any longer. When Gou woke up again, he was dry and indoors. He sat up to see Kaiya asleep on the couch and his father just looked at him. Gou knew when his father gives a silent treatment; it means he's in trouble. He wasn't yet, but the next morning, boy, did his mother give him a lesson about not going outside without permission. Gou didn't really listen so the flashback wasn't clear. The only reason why he never went out without permission again was because that was the first and last thing he heard before going into a stage of fright.

The current aged Gou was standing in his own memory,

"I remember that day, all I wanted was to go to my room and forget that ever happened…I almost did too," he said to himself.

"But whose fault was it that you got in trouble, dear boy?"

"No, it wasn't my fault, I'm not even sure why I got in trouble, I wasn't even listening to Mother. I…waited out in the storm and no one came to look for me. I just wanted to…" Gou couldn't say any more as he looks away from his memory and closed his eyes.

"…But Mom didn't know that I didn't do it on purpose, I can't hate her for that. But Kaiya…she…gr…."

"Looks like everyone is feeling down," said Mark as he looks around the room with everyone upset and well, upset. Mark got beaten pretty badly with bandages and bruises visible almost everywhere and a couple of ice packs here and there.

"I really don't see what the big deal is here," said Tai also observing along with Cam.

"Well, you don't have a close relationship with Gou like them. And you weren't insulted like Rayna," Cam explained.

"I guess you're right," said Tai.

Kaiya was standing against the wall with a depressed and confused look on her face.

Makoto was sulking and Rayna was in her room trying not to cry.

Gou headed back to his mansion and back into his room where he tries to perfect Black Dranzer. He took out the blade and looked at it,

"Can't you stop talking to me?" he asked it and puts it on the desk. He went to his window and opened it to see the outdoors.

"Am I really changing? Why is it that I'm back home and everything feels alright again? I felt like I've done something wrong to my friends, but I can't put my finger on it…" he sighed and closed the window again with the shades,

"I feel something, what is it? I can't talk it out…"

"What's wrong with me?" he asked himself as he starts to feel pain in him with memories from bad to horrible to cruel and not seeing a single happy memory with his family and friends.

Next: Why is Kaida sick? Find out! And as Makoto and Kaiya make one last attempt to help Gou, he shows his red eyes for the first time.
