Chapter 2: The Shock

"Tyson?"

Tyson looked up from his book to see his brother in the doorway of his room.

"Hey Hiro" Tyson said smiling. "What's up?"

"Nothing" Hiro said smiling slightly. "I heard from dad that you've decided to go back"

Tyson looked at his brother sadly. In truth he wasn't looking forward to the place he would be calling home for the next two years. But he needed to do this. For gramps, for the dojo, and for himself.

"Yeah, I decided that I have to put the past behind me" Tyson said as Hiro sat down next to him on his bed. "I always told my friends that they shouldn't dwell on the past. Now I'm taking my advice and facing…the problem I have"

Hiro patted his little brother on the back. He knew. He went through the same thing at that age. A test, that's what this was really all about. The Kinomiya family had a secret and a reputation to keep…even if they didn't want too. It was their blessing and curse.

"When do you leave?" Hiro asked. "

"In 3 weeks" Tyson said sighing with an annoyed look on his face. "The same day the Beyblades championships start! It's so unfair!"

Hiro laughed. Tyson could never stay serious for too long. It just wasn't him. Even when they were little, when he was sad, Tyson was there to cheer him up. But when his test came he left. And when he came back, Tyson had new friends. He was happy, even though he was gone. It made Hiro sad. He felt like he wasn't needed anymore.

"Hiro?" Tyson asked looking over at him. "You ok? You look sad"

"I'm ok" Hiro replied immediately smiling. "Just worried"

"Don't worry!" Tyson said smiling. "I'll pass the test just like you!"

'I hope so' Hiro thought as Tyson ran out to answer their grandfather's yelling. 'Gods, I hope so'

/1 week before the championships in the Bay City International Airport/

"Max! Kenny!"

"Rei! Kai!"

"Hey don't forget me!"

"We would never forget you, Hilary!"

The former Bladebreakers hugged each other (except Kai, who sadly still has a rep. to keep) and said their greetings. After a while, the question that everyone wanted to know came up.

"Has anyone seen Tyson?" they (except Kai) asked as the same time.

"I guess that's a no then" Max said laughing.

"I guess" Rei said. "But I thought that Hilary or Kenny might've known where he was"

"I just got back from camp, so I haven't seen him" Hilary said frowning slightly. "Kenny, have you seen him?"

"No" Kenny said shaking his head. "He stopped sending me emails about 2 months ago. I've been helping my parents with the shop so much that I don't see him anymore. And he stopped coming to school as well"

"Well then" Rei said smiling. "Let's go see him!"

They all ran to the familiar dojo they knew so well. But when they got there, the usual open gate doors were closed.

"How very odd" Kenny said trying to push them open.

"You still need to work out more" Kai said before pushing them open with one hand.

"Erm…well…I… that is…" Kenny stuttered as the rest laughed and entered the courtyard. Heck even Kai was smiling.

"Hello?" Max called while knocking on the door.

No answered.

"Maybe they went on vacation" Hilary suggested.

"But the championships are in just a week!" Max said staring at the closed door confused. "Tyson would've been training and practicing!"

"Let's go around back" Rei suggested. "Maybe he couldn't hear us"

They walked around to the dojo and the back yard. But they found it completely deserted. What was more interesting was there were not signs that a blader lived here. There was no dish, no bent soda cans on the ground. Nothing. Just a simple flower garden in the corner.

"Now this is really odd" Kenny said looking around before calling out. "Tyson? Are you there? It's us! The Bladebreakers!"

Silence.

"This is pointless" Kai said growling in annoyance. "There obviously no one here"

"Maybe Tyson's asleep?" Max suggested.

"Well, if he is" Hilary said. "We might as well leave. You remember how long it took for us to wake him 3 years ago. I bet he hasn't changed"

"Don't be so sure" Kai said. "People can change a lot in 3 years"

"Hey!" shouted someone behind them.

They turned to see Hiro looking angry.

"Hiro!" Max said smiling. "Hey! What's up?"

"What are you doing here?" Hiro demanded angrily. "You're not supposed to be here! It's against the law to trespass on other people's property!"

The group, needless to say was shocked. Never had Hiro spoken to them like that.

"Hiro! It's us!" Hilary said desperately. "Kenny, Kai, Rei, Max, and Hilary! We're Tyson's friends!"

"Tyson doesn't have time for friends right now!" Hiro shouted. "Now get out before I call the cops!"

Still in shock, they quickly left the Kinomiya's residence. As soon as the group was gone, Hiro dropped the offensive attitude to see the shadow of Tyson appear.

"Are they gone?"

"Yeah" Hiro said smiling sadly. "They won't bother you anymore"

Tyson nodded and walked back into the house. Hiro sadly looked back at the closed gate. He really wanted to tell them everything. But Tyson had ordered him not to. He couldn't do anything. It had been decided since Tyson was born that he would alone bare the burden of the family's secret and pride.

'It's not fair!" Hiro thought as he hit the wall making the thing crumble slightly. 'Dad, gramps, and I can't do anything. Damn. Damn you, Katashi'

"How could he do that?" Hilary asked outraged. "We're Tyson's friends!"

"Still, I think it was rather odd" Kenny said thoughtfully over Hilary's fuming.

"I know" Max said slightly put out about the shock they had received.

"And what did Hiro mean that Tyson doesn't have time for friends?" Hilary kept shouting. "If I didn't know any better, he sounded like that guy in Russia, Boris!"

They group looked at her stunned.

"How do you know about Boris?" Kai asked suspiciously.

"Tyson told me" Hilary said shrugging. "He told me everything about the times when you guys traveled together"

"We have to find out what's going on" Rei said as the others nodded. "Let's go to the BBA and find out if Mr. Dickinson knows anything"
