Anyway! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade nor any of the characters, however I do own the unknown characters, Blade Angels and their bit-beast and Sergei.
Rayne Hiwatari, captain of the Russian FBI, former captain of the Blade Angels suddenly felt warmth shot down her spine and she jerked her head to the building beside her and smiled.
Soon my friend, we will unite. Patience is all you need at the mo. Rayne let out a sigh and looked around her to find a space to land her small jet. She suddenly saw a roof with the helicopter runway and took out a walkie-talkie from the compartment pocket and pressed a number.
"Stanley Speaking," Mr Dickinson's voice spoke through the speaker.
"Hey Mr D. It's Hiwatari."
"Oh Rayne! How lovely it is to hear your voice," the old man gasped.
"Thank you. I'm just outside your window, and I was wondering if I can use the helicopter runway on your roof to land my jet?" asked Rayne.
Immediately, Mr Dickinson got out of his chair and walked towards the window and saw a small blue jet outside, with someone inside waving its arm.
"Of course you can. We're not expecting anyone any soon. Go right ahead, my dear." nodded Mr Dickinson. And with a thank you, Rayne switched off her walkie-talkie and landed the jet on the runway, the noise causing disruption in every class.

Anya sighed in frustration as she constantly tried to work out Maths question number 2: what is X-Y if X3, while her twin brother chuckled silently at her as he was sitting beside her. Anya frowned and glared daggers at her duplicate who was unfazed until the classroom suddenly moved. Every head jerked upwards and looked around, afraid of what curse has fell upon them.
"What's going on?" someone shouted over the noise.
Anya felt the familiar warmth she felt earlier and looked behind her to her friend Kai, who shrugged, not knowing the answer. Then suddenly the noise stopped as soon as it started and everyone started chattering in confusion with each other.
"Alright everybody, calm down. We're still alive so don't worry about it," said the teacher.
"But what if there is an aftershock?" asked a black-haired female.
"I'll go and check with the vice-principal as to what's going on," and with that, the teacher left.
Anya felt a poke on her back and she turned, her eyes locking gaze with a pair of amber ones.
"Do you think it's her?" whispered Vivien.
"I don't know. I did felt that shot of warmth."
Vivien nodded. "So did I."
"Do you think it's her?" someone asked.
Everyone turned to the hyper blonde female, Amber.
"I don't know, Amy. But I hope it is."
"Who's 'she' you guys are talking about?" asked Anya's twin, Tala.
"You'll find out soon enough, bro, soon enough," sighed Anya, feeling a pang of hurt inside all of a sudden.

"I'm telling you for the umpteenth time, I don't know what is happening. All I was doing was working through the paper work when suddenly there was this racket and the whole school moving. I do not have an explanation!" screamed Boris as a group of teachers walked up to him for answers.
"Aren't you going to investigate it then?" asked a science teacher. "We were doing some practical work here in this school, the children could have gotten hurt!"
"What's the point of investigating it, when it's over?" someone asked at the doorway.
"Because I want to know who's responsible for this interruption? The students at school are doing experiment. One wrong move could lead to chaos!" screamed the science teacher turning around to face the newcomer. But she gaped at the human.
She's only a kid!
"I'm responsible for this unexpected interruption. And I apologise if anything went wrong."
"This is a teachers private meeting student, please wait outside!" roared Boris, the vice-principal.
Rayne pouted.
"Some hello that was, Big B," muttered Rayne and turned away from him.
"Do me a favour and-" Boris stopped his sentence as he looked closely at the newcomer. "It can't be? Rayne?"
"The one and the only," grinned Rayne. Boris chuckled and threw his arms out. Immediately, Rayne pushed herself a bit away from the doorframe she was leaning against and jumped into Boris's arms, embracing him.
"Oh it's good to see you!" chuckled Boris.
"It's great to see you, too, B. Hope you didn't miss me too much."
Boris chuckled. "More than you can ever imagined."
Rayne turned to the teachers. "It was my arrival that have cause a disruption. I was piloting my jet and have received permission from the principal to use the helicopter runway for my landing. I hope you can accept my sincere apology."
"Well, alright… as long as it won't happen again," said the English teacher.
"If it does, I'll make you sure you know it first-hand," nodded Rayne.
Satisfied with the answer, the teacher all filed out, leaving Rayne and her guardian alone in his office.
"So, what brings you here, my dear?" asked Boris, leading Rayne to one of the corners of the room, where a small bar is held.
"Huh… nothing really. Just missed you guys so much thought I would pop in and visit. Russia's too quiet now that Voltaire is gone. It's just the normal criminals that I don't need to bother handling. Sam and the others can handle it just fine," nodded Rayne.
"Only a visit?"
"Well, I may stay here for a little bit longer. The truth is, I was planning on staying till new years. Celebrating Christmas and News Years with just Yoko and Geoffrey is pretty lonely. I need the whole gang there to spice it up."
Boris chuckled and ruffled Rayne's long hair.
"Hey! Your hair!" gaped Boris.
"I could say the same thing to your beard. You let it grow!"
The duo grinned and chuckled at each other, causing the principal who was passing by, entering the room.
"What's the commotion, Boris?" asked Mr Dickinson.
"Aah, Mr Dickinson! Come in come in. Look what God have gave us to reunite. Our dear Hiwatari!" cried Boris.
At that point, Rayne stood up and ran to Stanley's side, hugging him tight.
"Yes, I heard. Oh Rayne we missed you!" cried Mr Dickinson. "This is most definitely a surprise!"
"It is!" agreed Boris.
Parting from the embrace, Rayne lead Mr Dickinson back to the corner and Boris gave each of them a small glass of wine, to celebrate our young heroine's return.

"Well, got any answer, miss?" asked Ten, the brunette.
"It's seems we have a visitor, students," replied the Maths teacher.
"A visitor? Wouldn't we get a letter or announcement from the principal or vice-principal about this?" questioned Alexia.
"Yes we would, if the vice-principal knew about this event first-hand."
"Come again?" frown Amber.
"What the teacher mean is, whoever just arrive, came as a surprise. No one knew about this until the visitor made it's appearance," said Tala, rolling his eyes.
"Exactly."
Suddenly the door opened, revealing THE visitor.
"Speaking of the devil," muttered Miss Fraser.
The whole student body turned their heads to the door and stared at the newcomer, the Bladebreakers and Blade Angels, gaping at the girl.
Rayne Hiwatari, who was wearing dark jeans, black crop top, white bike-style leather jacket and white fingerless gloves, was standing in the doorway, and took a step in, entering the room, a note in her hand. She walked towards the teacher, ignoring the stares from her new classmates, and pass the piece of paper to the teacher.
The emerald eyes of the teacher zoomed left to right as she read the short message and sighed, looking down at the captain.
"Welcome to your new class. Your name?" sigh the teacher.
"Rayne Hiwatari," she answered.
"Hiwatari?
"Isn't Kai's last name Hiwatari?
"Do you think they're related?"
Whispers were already spreading around the room of the Maths class as Rayne and the teacher somehow are staring each other down.
But as it was a long time since Miss Fraser had a staring contest, she was the first to blink. Rayne hid a smirk.
"Please take a seat."
Rayne nodded and picked up her bag, slinging it over her shoulder. She walked down the aisle, ruffling Amber's temple and taking Alexia's cap, putting it on her own head before placing herself at a seat at the back of the room.
Everyone followed her every move, still gaping, surprised and confused.
"Alright, since no one is interesting in Maths anymore, for the next few minutes, we'll get to know our new student," suggested Ms Fraser.
"New Student?" chorused the student body.
"The name is Rayne Hiwatari. I'm 18; captain of the Russian FBI, Nationality and origin is Russian. Both of my parents are dead and my only living relative is my twin brother Kai Hiwatari," said Rayne.
"Bored already?" smirked Kai.
"You know me," sighed Rayne.
"Unfortunately," Kai rolled his eyes.
"How's mother Russia?" asked Anya.
"To be honest," said Rayne, taking the cap off and placing it on the desk in front of her. "Boring. I mean HE is not there anymore, the criminals are your daily assassin, thieves etc and without you guys, it's quiet, too quiet."
"Glad you missed us," chuckled Rei, Vivien's twin bro.
"Unfortunately," smirked Rayne, as the gang chuckled softly, causing the other students raising their eyebrow, including Tala.
Suddenly the bell rang, ending the class. There was scraping noise as the chairs were tucked under the table and several footsteps as the class slowly filed out of the room.
"Long time no see, Death," smirked Anya, high-fiving her best friend.
"It sure is," nodded Rayne and looked at her old friends, sighing happily. "My, you guys have developed a lot, without me around."
"So have you," nodded Amber.
Rayne grinned. "Who shall I start first?" muttered Rayne and her eyes fell upon the lazy-ass.
"T-MEISTER! I hope you're not stuffing food again," Rayne cocked an eyebrow.
Tyson blushed and looked away.
"Hair's grown longer, eyes are getting more darker, dark jeans, yellow top and red vest top and his usual cap. Yup, same old Tyson." Then Rayne's eyes set on his twin.
"Alexia Kinomiya…" Rayne winked. "The usual purple and pink combination, no change there; still the usual feminine of the gang, skirt, top and her favourite hat."
Amber giggled, catching Rayne's attention.
"And next is my hyper, bubbly, Amy. Change from her yellow dungarees into shorts and t-shirt, simple yet, gorgeous. The usual red headband and sweatband, and that's it.
"Next is good old Maxie. From his own orange dungarees into grey shorts, an overlarge blue t-shirt and sweatbands."
"Fourthly, is cat boy Rei. Blue bottoms into black, the usual red and white Chinese robe, red ribbon and the usual headband and fingerless gloves. And beside him is cat girl Vivien. Long hair tied up in a ponytail? Baggy pants and white top? What's going on? It's as if the Chinese cultural is here no more!"
Vivien blushed. "I stayed with Anya for too long and it got me to adapt her culture. The usual top and bottom style," she shrugged.
Rayne grinned and nodded, turning to her twin. She looked at him, up and down, the grin wiped from her face.
"What?" asked Kai.
"What? What! You know perfectly! What the hell did you do to your scarf!" cried Rayne, tugging at the collar around his neck. Kai pulled her hand off him.
"I changed my style, like everyone else."
"That's fine and all, but WHY RID OF THE SCARF! THE FLUFFY, SOFT, WHITE SCARF!" moaned Rayne, fakes weeping, making the area sweatdrop.
"Oh come on, it's only for a year," said Anya.
"A YEAR! I WANT THAT GREY TOP OFF AND THAT SCARF TO RETURN!" said Rayne devastated.
"Stupid thing to stay," muttered Anya.
"MOVING ON!" said Kai, raising his voice. Rayne cleared her throat and glared at her twin.
"Grey baggy pants, purple top and long purple gloves with red ribbon around your upper arm," grimaced Rayne. Kai smirked. Rayne looked around her gang and suddenly felt an empty space in her heart.
"Hey, where's Yuri?" she asked.
At this, everyone felt uncomfortable, causing Rayne to get confused.
"Guys?" she repeated.
"There's something you've got to know…" Max started.
"But how the hell are we going to tell her?" asked Vivien.
"Guess we just going to have to say it out, and get prepared for the outburst," sighed Anya and Rayne cocked an eyebrow at her.
"So… tell me…"
"Rayne, Yuri… Yuri is dating someone else."
Oh yeah, what a fantastic news that was! Rayne stared at the girl she felt was her sister, tears brimming her eyes.
"Did- did I hear you right? Yuri- is dating someone else?"
Anya nodded.
"Is that a problem?" someone called.
The gang turned their attention to the speaker, and said speaker was Ten. She was wearing pink turtleneck jumper, black skirt and shoes, her hair tied in a high ponytail, and her best friend beside her.
"Oh, no problem at all," squeaked Rayne. Then along came the boy, red haired with two bangs covering his icy blue eyes, a soft smile on his face as he stared down at Ten. He pecked her cheek, gaining her attention and with another boy behind him, gaining Ten's friend, Iris's attention, the two couples turned and walked the other direction.
Rayne's blood ran cold and her skin became cold with goose bumps. Her heart suddenly stop beating as darkness, loneliness, sadness and all the negative feelings covered her heart. Her soft grey eyes harden and her face turned into a mask of emotionless, returning to the cold-hearted girl the gang first met.
Kai's blood also ran cold as he has a special bond with his twin sister and instinctively, he wrapped his arms around her from behind, his lips beside her ears as he whispered,
"Don't go there, please Rayne don't! Let it go… don't turn yourself to the darkness, it won't help, trust me. Just let it go. I know you're upset because of Tala, but there's a good reason. You just gonna have to wait until we're ready to tell you why. Until then, don't give yourself up to the darkness, stay into the light please," begged Kai.
Rayne didn't respond as her hard grey eyes glued to the back of the couple, who had just broke her heart.
TBC…
