Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade!
Prisca-Angel-Yes, they are important. I'm just trying to not make it sound cheesy in my stories but it's kind of hard.
skarmory-It's alright, I just a have cravings for a lot of reviews…which my friend does not understand because he never reviews!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gou sits around in Makoto's backyard and throws a few stones around and being depressed. All he's been doing is moping around and sighing every five minutes, and his friends are getting annoyed by it.
"Can I knock some sense into him again?" Tai asked,
"No," everyone else answers as they watch Gou from inside the dojo with the door open.
"I'm worried about him," said Rayna,
"All of us are," said Makoto and puts his hand on her shoulder.
"Guys! You won't believe this! I just got an E-Mail from my dad!" Cam exclaimed and everyone turned to her.
"So?" Makoto asked,
"SO? It's from China! He says he's coming back! And that's not all! He's bringing the G-Revolution team with him along with the captains of the Blade Stoppers (Ulrich's team), The T.E.K. Battalions (like this is hard to figure out), and an old member of the All Starz!" Cam took in a big breath after saying all that.
Everyone stayed a silent a bit,
"WHAT?"
Gou turned his head when he heard noise from the dojo,
"Did something happen?" he asked out loud.
"My dad's coming home! My dad's coming home!" Makoto kept shouting,
"Who's the old member of the All Starz?" Mark kept pondering
"My father is coming?" Rayna wasn't sure if she should panic or be happy,
"Oh joy," said Kaiya not very happy about this for both her and Gou.
"Hey Cam! Is my dad coming too?" Tai asked,
"I'm not sure," Cam answered.
Everyone was talking and thinking at once so it was pretty loud,
"Can you kids please keep it down?" Hilary asked popping out from a corner,
"Sorry Mom!" Makoto apologized,
"Sorry Mrs. Granger/Kinomiya," everyone else said simultaneously and she left them alone again.
Gou walked in with an angry expression on,
"I'm trying to think and you guys can't keep your mouths shut for even a while!"
Everyone looked at him,
"Is this the smart Gou talking or is this a fake Gou?" Makoto asked and Gou did an anime fall then grew a vein,
"Not funny, Makoto!"
"Yes it is! How often do you think besides when you Beyblade or argue?" Makoto asked with a big grin,
"You know that I'm the second smartest boy here and note that I'm smarter than you," said Gou who smirked and crossed his arms,
"WHAT? Wait, then who's the smartest?" Makoto asked,
"Mark," Rayna answered,
"Then who's after Gou?" Makoto asked,
"We couldn't really figure it out between you and Tai so we're just going to say both of you are equally smart for now," said Kaiya,
"I'M WAY SMARTER THAN HIM!" Tai and Makoto shouted and pointed at the other person.
Gou sighed as he watches those two fight. One moment he was being serious, then the next he was joking around and teasing Makoto.
"Oh by the way, Gou,"
"Yeah Cam?" asked Gou turning his head towards her.
"G-Revolution is coming, you know, the team?" said Cam trying not to make it sound important.
"…WHAT?"
Next day:
"It feels so weird," said Mark sitting around with the rest of the team in the living room,
"Yeah, ever since our team got together none of us really saw our parents," said Rayna and everyone else nodded.
"Well, at least my mom will be happy and Uncle Hiro is taking a break from his job today!" said Makoto trying to sound confident and cheerful,
The team started thinking how they should act after not communicating with their parents for about two years.
Then they heard a loud thud and few crashing noises outside the front door.
"I know that's not Grandpa," said Makoto (he's referring to his Great grandfather or Tyson's Grandpa).
"Hey! It's not my fault I didn't know there were flower pots on the roof!" came a girl's voice,
"There were flower pots on the roof?" Gou asked and looked at the others,
"I put them up there, I was doing a small experiment but I kind of forgot I left them up there," said Mark.
And then they heard an argument outside,
"Well, what were you doing up there in the first place? Now get down from there Tek before you hurt yourself!"
"Wait…that voice, it's-" Mark got up and opened the door and tackled someone down.
"Max! Are you okay?" someone asked.
"Well I see your kid is happy to see you," said another person.
Everyone else started assembly out of the dojo, everyone but Tai and the two Hiwataris.
"Why aren't you going out?" Kaiya asked,
"Because my dad's afraid of flying, there's no way he's here if he went to China with the others," said Tai in a sulking way and just sat where he was staring at the ceiling.
"Gou, tell Mother and Father that I'll be in my room. You apologize to Mother for betraying Dragix and make up with Father, please?" Kaiya asked but before Gou could say anything, Kaiya quickly left for her room.
"I'm nervous," said Gou,
"Yeah, well maybe if you didn't have family problems this wouldn't of had happened," said Tai,
"Give me a break, you get along with your family so don't rub it in," said Gou looking away and closed his eyes.
"Not really, Gou," said Tai and stood up,
"By the way, your dad looks like you right?" Tai asked,
"Yup," he answered,
"Well he's here," said Tai,
"Say WHAT?" Gou shot up and his head hits another object.
"Ow…"
Then giggles were heard,
"Oh my gosh! Your son does look like you! He's got a hard head too! Wow! Lover Boy's son!" Tek exclaimed laughing while Kaida just shook her head.
Gou rubs his head and Tai was right, his dad was right there and they both collided heads.
"He's so CUTE!" Tek squealed as she went over to him and hugged him,
"What the?"
"He's adorable! And according to his face he smiles a lot more than you have Love Dove!" said Tek and hugged little Gou like a teddy bear,
"Ow…"
"Who is this crazy woman?" Gou thought.
"Um Tek I think you've hugged our son enough," said Kaida,
"But he's so cute! He's much better looking than when Love Dove was his age! How old is he again?" Tek asked still holding on to Gou,
"I'm 14, Miss," said Gou.
"This feels weird, it's like I'm having a psycho glomping me," (idea from Atem's Queen of the Nile's reviews) thought Gou.
"…Oh yeah! He's definitely much better looking than Love Dove at age 14 and he's polite! I'm sure my daughter would love him!"
"Where did she come from? Venus?" Gou thought giving Tek a strange but scared look.
"Tek, I'm sure you can let go of him now so quote 'Love Dove' can have a man to man talk with him," said Kaida,
"Awe, but he's adorable, especially with these two rattails!" said Tek holding touching his rattails,
"TEK!"
"Okay, I'll stop, no need to hiss at me, Love Dove," said Tek and lets go of little Gou,
"You should've called him Kai Jr. you know? Don't you have a daughter?" Tek asked,
"Yeah, my older sister Kaiya. But you don't want to hug her, trust me," Gou answers and straightens his clothes.
"Oh I'm sure she's just as adorable and sweet as you!" said Tek with a smile,
"Well, she might hurt you if you touch her or call her anything that's related to the word 'cute' and I know, she punched out 3 guy bladers older than her when she was 12! And she's 15 now," said Gou,
"Yeah well I'm sure she doesn't mind, I'm a good friend of your parents!" said Tek,
"Well Tek remember that you're only a friend to me," said Kaida with a sweat drop.
"My sister knocked out a doctor once because she was afraid of needles," said Gou trying not to get Tek to go anywhere near Kaiya and he's not even lying.
Kaida went over and pulled his son over,
"Tek, why don't you go see Hiro, I just saw him outside talking to Hilary, Tyson, and the others," said Kaida,
"HIRO?" Tek exclaimed and ran off. By the way, Tai left after Tek started scaring him too.
"How in the world is she friends with my parents? I didn't think I would meet anyone anymore weirder than Dante," thought Gou.
"How have you been, Gou?" Kaida asked snapping him out of his thoughts,
"Um, just fine…" he mumbled.
The family sits down to talk,
"I didn't mean to do this to Dragix, I was just confused and persuaded. I don't know if I deserve Dragix anymore, I'm so sorry. You have to thank Kaiya, she did everything she could to save me and she did, she's in her room by the way," Gou explained,
"I see, so what do you see in life now?" Kaida asked,
"That it was wrong to think what I did. I lost trust in my friends because of a stupid blade, and I never really tried to get to know my own father…"
"…No, it was my own fault for not believing that you really can be as good or even better than Kaiya, and I'm sorry for that."
Gou looked up when he finally heard his father speak throughout the whole conversation.
Meanwhile:
"I wonder how it's going, between Kai and his son," said Tyson watching the kids spy on the Hiwatari family,
"Who knows, hopefully well," said Max.
"Dude! Let me see!" Makoto said in frustration,
"Let ME see!" said Mark and pushed Makoto aside,
"What are you guys trying to do?" Ray asked watching them as well,
"To see if Gou will finally have a strong bond with his dad!" Tai answered who was kneeling and looking through the slightly opened door.
"Yeah, I mean, it's because of a loss of a Father figure that Gou started acting like a jerk," said Mark,
"And that stupid Black Dranzer blade too," Makoto added and moved Mark to the side,
"BLACK DRANZER?"
"Don't worry, Gou sealed it," said Rayna when she joined at the door,
The door opened and the teens fell on each other,
"Um, hi Mrs. Hiwatari," everyone said simultaneously looking up at her.
"I think those two need a little private time," said Kaida and closes the door behind her.
Makoto and Mark weren't going to give up. In the next 5 minutes, they had cups against their ears and the door.
"I can't hear," Makoto hissed,
"Shut up!" Mark whispered back,
"…And I'm sorry for that,"
"…"
"Who's talking?" Makoto asked,
"I don't know! Because I can't hear!"
"…I always wondered why Kaiya looked up to you. She was right, you are a strong person. I just never took the time to realize that I can look up to you too,"
"That was Gou," said Makoto,
"Duh," Mark hissed telling him to be quiet.
"I never took the time or gave you a chance to prove to me your skills as a blader. Your mother is proud of you. You deserve Dragix, so keep it. Everyone deserves a second chance and that includes you,"
"You mean it?"
"Yes, I do,"
"… (Sniff) (Mumbles something)"
"What did he say?" Mark asked,
Rayna opens the door a little,
"I think I know," Rayna whispered and the others peeked through the door to see their teammate being held by his father and hugging him back.
"Gou…" said Rayna just below a whisper.
CRASH! THUMP!
"SORRY!"
"Tek…" the grownups muttered.
The door opened completely and Kai went to where the noise came from.
"Okay! I think we should get the kids out of here," said Max,
"We're teenagers!" Mark argued but they pushed them into the room Gou was in and they heard some pounding a few seconds later.
"That sounds painful," said Cam,
"Oh it is," said Ray.
Gou tugged on his mother's shirt,
"Mom, do I deserve Dragix?"
"…My answer is the same answer your father gave you," Kaida replied,
"How do you know what he said?" Gou asked,
"I trust him." Kaida answered and gave a warm smile.
When Kai came back:
"What did you do this time?" Max asked,
"I spared her this time," he answered,
"Awe man!"
"You should've tossed her into the garbage can again, that was funny!" said Tyson.
"Or lock her in a closet but knock her out for a few hours first. Do you know how quiet that would be?" Ray suggested,
"I wish the swimming pool was here, then Kai could toss her in there," said Max,
"Or the time when he and Ray threatened her that she wouldn't come out of her room," said Kenny,
"That was when Kaida was kidnapped right?" Chris asked,
"AAHH! Where did you two come from?" everyone asked when Chris and Ulrich seemed to have popped out of no where,
"We've been waiting for your happy reunions to end," said Chris,
"And yes Chris, that was when Kaida was kidnapped and you had to deliver food to Tek in her room," said Ulrich,
"Yeah, but I remembered that something else happened but what was it?" Max asked thinking.
"Something red," said Tyson,
"Something hot," said Kenny,
"And something sweet," said Ray.
"It wasn't supposed to combine," said Kai but wasn't really thinking about it.
"I remembered getting eight dollars," said Chris and the grownups got sweat drops,
"And Tek was yelling something about killing Kai because she did something to her food," said Ulrich.
Kaida didn't know what was going on since they said she was kidnapped at that time.
"Something like candy, no cupcake, no it was something else," said Ray,
"Something hot, barbeque sauce? Tomato sauce? I don't remember," said Max,
"Was it cake plus hot sauce equals threat?" Gou guessed listening in on the conversation.
"…Yeah! That was it!"
"How did you know?" Kaida asked,
"I'm good with riddles. It was something sweet, and another sweet food related to cupcake was cake. The only hot food I could think of was hot sauce and if you're talking about that crazy weird blonde woman then I'm guessing someone gave her cake with hot sauce and got her mad," Gou explained,
"You got a bright kid there," said Tyson.
"I'm pretty sure it was from Kaida though!" Chris joked even though he knew he was going to get it…but nothing came,
"Where's Kai?" Chris asked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaiya was in her room, though she heard a lot of commotion outside, she didn't want to go out.
She sat down on the ground and looked at a picture of her and her brother when they were kids,
"I'll be the best blader!"
"No I will!"
"No way! You're a girl!"
"So?"
"Girls can't blade!"
"Can too!"
"No they can't! Especially if the girl is Daddy's little girl!" Gou teased,
"Oh yeah? I'll show you Daddy's little girl you twerp!"
These exact words rang in Kaiya's ear, even though she couldn't remember exactly how it happened.
"Kaiya?"
She looked up,
"…Father,"
The two just started at each other for a few more seconds,
"You mad at me too?" He asked in his usual calm but serious voice,
"No, just disappointed," Kaiya answered and looked away.
Kai went over and sat next to her,
"Disappointed?" he asked,
"For not being there for my brother. He needed you and you were never there to help. I didn't understand back then because I was little, I didn't realize you were just training me only because you wanted the best to have Dranzer. My little brother deserved Dranzer just as much as I deserve Dragix; Gou never once liked it when people compare him to you!"
"…"
"I hope you two talked it out," said Kaiya and stood up as her hands were turned into fists.
"We did, it was easy but it wasn't simple,"
"…He hated it when he loses to me. And he never cared when the conversation was about you. And I…I hated it, when my brother is right about things. Dad? Am I just your little girl? I have a stronger relationship with you than Mom, but even now I feel so small…because I couldn't help Gou when he needed me back then…If he didn't have you, at least he had me! And I didn't see that when he needed the support." Kaiya had her head down, not daring to look up. She knew her brother and father had worked things out quick yet not very simple, but never less, quick, because she knew those two didn't just look alike, they think alike. But she what she doesn't know, is whether she needs someone to be there for her, Kaiya never asks for help, she grew up as a lone wolf.
Kai stood up and walked over to his daughter, and brought her into an embrace,
"Teenagers or not; your brother will always be someone that I will always watch over as my son. He'll always be my boy and I'll always be proud of him. And you will always be my little girl…"
Kaiya didn't move, she just slowly buried her face on her father and slowly let herself let tears flow; it's been such a long time since she's cried, she didn't even remember that she could.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The greatest gift in the world, is being the son of Kai and Kaida Hiwatari. As well as having Kaiya Hiwatari as my big sister, she's the coolest blader ever! And my bestest friend, Makoto. He's the best alright! My other friends too, especially Rayna. She's really special. And Dragix, I've awakened the dragon within me.
-Gou
The greatest gift in the world, is being part of a team that I can count as the best friends I could ever ask for. I was lucky to meet them. To meet Gou…And the honor of owning Driger, waking the tiger spirit I had within me.
-Rayna
The greatest gift in the world, is when I met my friends; Gou, Mark, Cam, Tai, Kaiya, and Rayna. Then there's Dragoon…Dragoon, my family and friends, are the best gifts in the world. I was a roaring dragon deep down for a long time, even now.
- Makoto
The greatest gift in the world is when I joined this team. Never have I experienced everything we've been through. Both the good and the bad, proved something, and I wouldn't of had learned so much from my friends. Draciel, a blade and a friend I'll always watch over. I'll always be connected…
-Markie
The greatest gift in the world…is when food was invented! Oh, and when my father taught me how to blade! I was finally able…to be teamed up with the MBB Evolution! With Makoto, Mark, Cam, Rayna, Gou, and Kaiya! And having the spirit of Strata Dragoon with me, thank you Dad…
-Taichi
The greatest gift in the world, is the time when I met Makoto and Mark. Ever since then, I've been accepted. And when the team started, I got new friends that accepted me too. Then there's Dizzi, always there to help, like all my other friends.
-Jenny 'Cam'
I've awakened the phoenix in me; the phoenix tears can heal, and that's what I plan to do. My gift to others is to heal and take care of my friends. One of the greatest gifts I've received is having friends like them. Yet another one of…The greatest gifts in the world…is being Daddy's Girl.
-Kaiya
"Hey! Uncle Hiro! Where's Grandpa?" Makoto asked,
"Well, I didn't exactly tell him that we're having a party, he's pretty old you know," said Hiro,
"GRANDPA!" Everyone shouted in either surprise, happiness, or just plain shocked when he stepped in through the door.
"Yeah Uncle Hiro! Grandpa will be fine!" said Makoto.
"I got a bad feeling about this," said Hiro holding his head.
It was an evening of partying; the adults hung out together and the teens hung out together in their own little areas.
"Gou?" Rayna asked moving over to him,
"Yeah?"
"You're pretty quiet, is something wrong?" she asked,
"No, I'm just thinking," Gou answered,
"About what?" Rayna asked but not in a curious voice,
"Me, Kaiya, my mom, and my dad," Gou answered a bit slowly.
"Anything else?" Rayna asked,
"…Yeah actually, but I can't tell. I'm fine Rayna, I'll start talking within the next…um, 15 minutes," said Gou and gave an assuring smile.
"Okay," said Rayna and smiled back.
Tek was peaking over at what the teens were doing and saw the way Kai Jr. (Tek's nickname… for now) looks at Rayna.
"Hey! It's Love Dove 2!" Tek exclaimed as she surprised the teens.
"Gah! Where the heck do you come from, Woman!" (Line credited to Atem's Queen of the Nile) Gou exclaimed.
"Um…over there," Tek pointed.
"Tek! You leave them alone!" Chris shouted,
"No way! Love Dove number two is in love!"
"…Are you addressing to me?" Gou asked when Tek pointed at him.
"Who else?"
"Um…I don't even know who Love Dove number one is," said Gou holding one finger up.
"That's your grumpy, sourpuss, mean and scary father," Tek answered.
"What DID YOU CALL ME?"
"Eep, I'm in trouble again," said Tek and scrambled to her feet and started running. But then she quickly went over to Kaida,
"Hey Kaida, do you think your son is willing to marry my daughter?" Tek asked,
"Um…" but before Kaida could answer, Tek ran off with the usual routine of getting pounded and living to tell the story.
"NO!"
"Is that your answer, Love Dove?" Tek asked.
"…I don't even know who her daughter is! And if she's as weird as her, I don't think I want to," said Gou and looked at his team.
"Well, it's a little early to think about marriage," said Cam and took a drink from her cup,
"Yeah, I mean, I'm only 13!" said Tai.
"Well…we can think of the future," said Rayna,
"Like how our team with win another tournament!" said Makoto and raised his cup,
"Cheers! And a toast!"
"To our team!" said Mark raising his cup,
"To our bit beasts," said Rayna raising hers,
"To our friends," Gou adds lifting his cup,
"To Beyblading!" Tai exclaims and almost spills his cup,
"To our teamwork and adventures ahead for us!" said Cam adding her cup to the others,
"…To family," said Kaiya and raises her just a bit off the table.
Everyone else went to Kaiya's cup knowing she won't move it,
"First one to gulp down his or her drinks wins!" Makoto and Gou shouted at the same time and started gulping. Tai joined it too.
The others sighed,
"Just like nothing's ever happened," said Mark,
"Well that's a good sign then," said Rayna,
"I just wonder how long this argument will go on," said Cam.
"I win!" all three shouted,
"I did!"
"What are you talking about? I finished one second before you!"
"No! I won!"
The others just watched,
"Well, we can start timing," said Kaiya.
THE END
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for taking your time to read this story.
Like all my other stories, I give sneak peaks at ones that follow it.
One is:
Beyblade: X-Generation
This is the prequel; it shows how the team got to together in the first place and their first championship world tournament together. You meet the Bai Hu Tzi team, the Mega Shooting All Starz, the Majestics, and the Blitzkrieg Neoborgs! See how each character needs another as a friend and teammate in each tournament to reach the finals. See how Kaiya was more like her father than Kai, and how Makoto worked to break through to Kaiya. And of course, other relationships. And I'm sure you're curious on what their original team name was.
In my other story, that I don't have a name for yet, happens after this one. Hiro announces a new tag-team tournament just as Mr. Dickenson has before that caused the Bladebreakers to split up. Now, history repeats itself as the MBB Evolution team splits and competes against each other for a chance to be World Champ! Old teams and new teams with old characters and new characters! See how desperate some of Makoto's ex-team members are.
And I have to ask:
Who knows what countries F-Dynasty and the Barthez Battalions represented? This info is needed for the sequel.
Another question is whether I should do the stories one at a time or at the same time. If it's one at a time, which one should I do first? You guys tell me even if you aren't interested in reading the next two stories. The prequel will be kind of long, but it shouldn't be too long. The sequel, well, that will depend.
