Chapter One

The New Girl

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

"Will you hurry up?" a very annoyed male voiced called into the fog filled bathroom.

"I'm coming, chill out will ya," I called rapping the towel around my body before stepping out the bathroom. Stepping to my room I asked the other occupant to turn around.

"You act like I've never seen you naked Ryan," he said, but turned around none the less.

"We were like five Kai, that last time you saw me naked and that wasn't willing," I rolled my eye.

"It not like you have anything I want to see anyway," Kai said, and I could all but see him rolling his own eyes.

"If you did want to see me naked that would be a whole new conversation," I teased.

Watching him in the mirror I dressed in my usual pink polo shirt , black jean shorts and matching jacket with my black and pink trainers. You could tell that pink and black were my favorite two colors. The pink stood out with my waist length blue hair, but not that I minded. Really the black worked well against my hair and pale skin. Save for the hair, I looked normal, well not really. With the three blue triangles on my face, normal wasn't the best word. I have two triangles on my left cheek right under my eye and the other was on the right side opposite the top triangle on the left. It was a family thing cause my mother had the same triangles that I have, my grandfather had them also and my twin, Kai, has them also. They weren't permanent or anything cause grandfather and Adelina no longer had their marks. I knew that they had them too cause there were paintings and photographs with them having the same triangles that Kai and I had.

Finally dressed I turned to Kai, "Ready to go now," I said.

"Come on we're supposed to meet everyone at the park in less that fifteen minutes," Kai ordered as he pushed me out the door. Despite being twins he was still taller than me by like five inches.

"Come on I'm driving," Kai led me towards his Ford thunderbird.

Muttering under my breath, I slid into the car and let him drive making sure to buckle up cause were in a rush and Kai had a thing from driving way too fast for my liking.

Falling out of the car when we got to the park after Kai parked, I wobbled while trying to regain the feeling in my jelly like legs and made my heart feel like it wasn't about to jump out of my chest. Turning to Kai with narrow eyes I yelled at him about his reckless driving.

"You did that on purpose, you almost hit that old lady and ran at least four stop lights," I shrieked. I was sorely tempted to hit him, I wanted to so bad my hand was shaking with the effort not to.

"No, ya think? That old women was just fine, and we're not late," he said walking off, "And it was like two stop lights."

Glaring at the back of his head I thought about how much trouble I'd get if I killed him. Not enough for it to be worth it but enough for the satisfaction to be great. As we approached the bey dishes I heard two unknown voices talking to who I knew was Rei. Once past the trees and into the clearing by the stream I could see Rei conversing with this girl I'd never seen. She had dark rose pink and black hair, seeing as her back was to me I couldn't see her face, but I could tell she wasn't from around here because of the French accent in her voice. From behind I could see that her hair went past her ankles because it was at her ankles and she had it up in two fist sized buns.

"Hey, Rei," I called, getting his and the girls attention. When she turned I saw she had grey eyes.

"Hey Ryanna," Rei said looking relived. Rei was the only person other that Grandfather that called me by my full name, much to my annoyance.

"Kai," Rei nodded to Kai as he came closer to us.

"Rei, who are they?" Kai asked motioning to the two girls. As team captain he took great care in making sure that our training time wasn't interrupted by fans.

Before Rei con answer the pink and black haired girl came towards us with the other girl trailing behind.

"Um, Hi, Sakura Luvit," she introduced herself and bowed formally. When she rose I realized her eyes where as grey as Rei's were yellow. The only word that did the color any justice was silver but that wasn't the color either, it was more of silver, gray and white all in one. They shimmered with amusement, something akin to a devilish delight and something else that I couldn't place. It was that something else that made wonder about the petite girl.

But if Sakura's eyes were something to think about then the girl's beside her, were indescribable. They where light pink then lilac swirling like they hadn't been mixed all together. Unlike Sakura's eyes I could definitely recognize all the emotions that she was projecting, anger, distrust and annoyance. I didn't know if it was directed at me or to the world in general.

"Ryan Hiw…" I started to introduce myself but Sakura interrupted me.

"I, we know who you are, all of you actually, if we hadn't we wouldn't be here," she motioned to the girl who had yet to introduce herself. Said girl was staring at something over my head, at this angle I could see she had a short bob of hair that was black and silver, not the silver like Sakura's eyes but the normal silver people think of when they think of silver.

"So what brings you here?" I asked glancing back at Kai and Rei who had taken a step back to talk quietly to each other and Kenny who had come over leaving Tyson off to the side with Max.

"Well actually we where here to battle Tyson but I did that and won so we figured we'd hang around for a bit and wait for your brother," she explained.

"You won?" I asked shocked. Not that she won but that she bladed. Looking at her out fit I wonder where her launcher and blade had gone. She was wearing jeans that were tight at the top and flared at the bottom and a tank top with a smiley face that had dead eyes. She had no pockets and no bag that I could see.

"Not without a fight but yeah," she nodded looking kinda embarrassed about something. I glanced at Tyson who was sitting off to the side by the bey dish talking with Max gesturing wildly. I had seen him when I'd come in and he looked kinda sad, now I knew why.

"So what, you want to be named world champ or something?" I asked, turning back to the two girls.

"Oh no, I've got no interest in that, if I had I would of entered the world championships, this year and all the years before." She said shaking her head. I looked at the other girl who had yet to introduce herself, when she saw me looking at her she glared at me.

"What you think that I want to be world chap or something cause I don't, it's a waste of time really there so many better blader's in the world that don't even enter that stupid tournament. If I wanted a real fight it wouldn't be there," she snapped glaring at me.

Before I could make some equally rude comment Sakura stepped in, "Oh you must forgive my sister," Sakura said hitting Yumi on her shoulder, "Yumi's not much of a people person," she explained sending Yumi a hard look.

Before I could respond Kai and Rei rejoined us. Suddenly I noticed something I hadn't seen before.

"Where's Hito?" I asked looking around for the third or correction fourth blunette of our group.

"Hitoshi said he had something to do for Mr. Dickinson," Rei answered my question.

"Wait you know Hitoshi Kinomiya?" the silver and black haired Yumi asked looking confused.

"Yeah he's our coach and Tyson's older brother, why?" Rei said looking at me, but I was just as confused as he was.

"Damnit, hold on," she grabbed her sisters arm and dragged her a ways away where they began whispering with earnest glancing around as if they where looking for something.

"So what do you think?" I turned and faced the two boys.

"Well the pink haired girl, Sakura, she's good I can tell you that, she beat Tyson in under five minutes with no bit beast that Kenny could find," Rei said as he motioned Tyson and Kenny over.

"Hey Ry," Tyson greeted with a half smile, not his normal bouncy greeting.

"Sup Ty," I smiled at him.

Tyson looked at the conferring girls before speaking, "What's up with them?"

"I don't know I mentioned Hito and they freaked," I shrugged.

"What do you think of them?" Kai asked suddenly watching the two girls as I watched him.

"Well you know your match with Brooklyn," at Kai's nod Kenny continued, " Well you know how when you used Dranzers to attack it didn't do anything and he sent it back at you way more powerful that what you sent at you, well this girl Sakura can do the same thing but with normal attacks not just special attacks," Kenny explained.

"So if I where to battle her what would I do to win?" Kai asked glancing over to the girls.

"Get her out in one hit," Kenny said confident in that answer.

"What are the odds of that happening?" I asked.

"Well according to Dizzy it can be done but…" he said trailing off.

"But what?" I said looking at him when he didn't answer.

"The chances of that happening are extremely low," Dizzy spoke up when Kenny didn't answer after a few seconds.

I didn't know what I would of said because Sakura and Yumi came back over.

"Ok, after much deliberation we have decided that we won't challenge you," Sakura started motioning to Kai before continuing, "Also that the match against Tyson was unfair for two reasons, firstly cause you don't have the correct training to defeat or even give us a real challenge also because you have Hitoshi as a trainer but you don't know who we are," Sakura finished.

"What do you mean not a real challenge?" Tyson demanded.

"You'd have to ask Hito-kun about that," Sakura said with a small smile, "You've never heard of us there for there are things you don't know so we cant hold that against you and our match is void till he explains what is happening."

"And whats happening?" I asked my eyes narrow, I didn't like the wording of that like something was happening that involved us but I didn't know what.

"Well that's…." Yumi started but trailed off looking at something over behind us.

"Hey what are you guys doing just standin…" Hitoshi called from behind us but stopped mid sentence staring at Sakura and Yumi who where now gapping at him.

"Sakura, Yumi," He said shocked.

I think I was the only person who heard Yumi curse under her breath passionately. The looks on there face was utter horror before ther started backing up.

"Hiyo, Hito-kun," they said at the same time backing up. I heard a soft but heart felt damnit but I wasn't sure which one had said it. This was going to be interesting I could just tell.
