Great Expectations and the Perfectionist

By: Marina- a.k.a. Girl of Light Writter

I know I've been advertising this story in my other fic and on my profile. I'm going to advertise this story correctly now. It was a pain to add a whole new character to beyblade. I decided to find a pairing that was perfect enough to match what I had planned for this story at some angles. I'm sorry if you were highped for the story the other way but I'm sure it will go your way just as well like this. I'm sure to love it and I don't have a clue where it's going.

Warning: This is a Kai and Emily Fic. If you don't like them, then I don't care. This is my fic and I happen to believe there aren't enough Kai and Emily fics on the site.

Preview

Kai Hiwatari has high expectations of himself and others. He has had a hard life and he seems to make it even harder on himself. He has made the choice to live on his own but it turns out life on your own being 18 isn't easy. This story takes place 3 years after G revolution 3rd Season. (Mind you, I haven't seen the 3rd season and have only seen parts of the 2nd. I'm relying on many sites for accurate information. I hope it will work.) Kai is doing fair on his own. He's misses the beyblade gang. He's starting to send himself to hometown matches in his area.

Emily Dennison is a perfectionist. She is rich, she's an awesome beyblader and she's missing someone. She's just so empty. She's starting to get annoyed with Michael's over cheerfulness. She's 18, what is the next stop to being perfect. She's a genius, a scientist; she could teach school if she wanted to. She has no limitations and she's perfect at everything. She's just so lonely. She thinks that going back to Japan with Max might be the right start and the thing she was missing.

Boy meets girl in trouble. Boy saves girl, girl is thankful. Boy stays around to protect girl and let's just see how this story turns out.

Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade or anything beyblade related. If I had my way after the first two seasons they group would start having real love relations in between their battles. It would be the one thing that the show doesn't have enough of. I'm sure you great fan readers feel the same.

Kai is a great person. He just had some problems and needs something or someone to through his life back into focus. He needs a girl's touch. Emily might be just that.

This story is written through 2 people's point of view. Kai Hiwatari and Emily Dennison. If you think I should add another view tell me in a review. Don't forget to review.

Star 1 Kai Hiwatari

Star 2 Emily Dennison

Position 2 Where ever Emily is.

Position 3 I'll name where you are.

Chapter 1: Forever Lost

Star 1

"Grandfather, I'm leaving. You may have gotten away with trying to terrorize the world but I'm tired of relying on you for everything I'm leaving." I had decided that he did so many things against me, for 'the good of my well being'. At first I though sending me to the abbey was just to improve my skills. It was like discipline. Then it was worst. I had to leave there, now I must leave my home.

"Where do you plan on going Kai? I'm your only living relatives left. Are you going to just live on the streets? You don't have much money Kai? You can't live on that forever. Do plan on getting a job?" I hadn't really thought of what I was going to do now. I guess I could just wander around and maybe it will hit me.

"Hm. Don't know, don't care. I'm just leaving here." I picked up my things and stormed off. Clearly he didn't know his own grandson very well. He new I could make it on my own. I didn't know how or where but I would.

I had a lot of money from stopping him. I could use that for awhile. I could always beyblade at tournaments and get money from that. No way it was that hard to live on your own. I mean I'm 18; don't most people live on their own by then?

I'm Kai, and I will live on my own. It won't be easy when I start but I'm sure it will get easier. I'll just find and apartment and live there for a while. I can cook something to eat when I get there I'm pretty hungry.

I drove up to an apartment complex. It was pretty fancy and rooms for rent. This place looks like an okay place to live. It has 3 rooms; a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. That sounds good enough, wonder what they charge for a month. \

"Excuse me, what is the rent for a single apartment area?" There was a girl, about 20 or 21 sitting at the desk. She was filing paperwork. "Excuse me."

'Oh, sorry. A single apparent rent is 41 a month." Wow, were apartments expensive. I have about 2,000 dollars in my account. If I used half of it for rent I could live here for 2 years easy. I could use 41 dollars a month on anything else I needed for 2 years too. This is going to work out fine, if I don't have to pay anything else.

"Okay, that sounds good. Who should I make the check out to?" I was annoyed by ignorance. I'm glad I only have to pay rent once a month.

"Dale Door Inn." She took my check and gave me a key, a list of rules and other paperwork and let my leave.

"Hm." The apartment was nice. All my stuff was still in my car but I could easily bring it in. At least it wasn't a mess. It was very plain but whatever. It's better than living in my car. I guess I'll go get my stuff. I picked up all my boxes and carried into my bedroom. I should go shopping. I walked out into the hall and ran into someone.

It was a girl about my age, 18 maybe 19. I had knocked her down. I helped her up and handed her books. She might have been a high school text book. She could have been in college too but why would I care. "Kai." I outreached my hand.

The girl grabbed it and shook it. "I'm Sydney Brook. You must have just moved in here. It's nice to meet you. Well I have to go to school. I have to attend some college start classes." Sydney seemed like a nice person. She has curly brown hair and is tall but whatever. It would be nice to go to college courses. I had finished high school 2 years early but hadn't thought to go to college. I followed Sydney to her school. It was O'daylawn School. It sounded like a fancy prep school.

Sydney turned around to see me following her to her start classes. "Kai, right. Why are you following me?" If she thought I liked her boy was she wrong. I want to see what kind of courses they offer. "You might want to take an English course if your interested in taking courses because the only word you've said to me is your name."

"Hn." I just kept following her to her course meeting thing. I would be interested in taking some courses to be a doctor. I had the grades and scores on all the official exams to be one. I got banged up enough on my own not to mention other people in beyblading.

"You are such a sour puss. You're allowed to come by the way. I'm sure you couldn't make it to O'daylawn with your grades." I retorted with a 'hn.' She didn't know I was a genius and scored nearly perfect on all my entrance exams. She'd soon find out. I didn't really care about what she thought of me.

"Okay students, take a seat." I of course sat at the far back of the lecture hall. "Okay, welcome to O'daylawn. This is a school for those going in to scientific fields; like Criminal Justice, Doctor, and Scientist. This is a top school in all of Japan. We have no dorms so you will have to get an apartment. You must have scored better than 18 on your entrance exam. So here are your course maps. They will suggest courses that you should take for your specific field." I walked up to the table and grabbed one. I needed to take biology, life science and anatomy. That was an easy guess.

They talked for another 20 of 30 minutes about different famous people who graduated from the school, what kind of students come from around the world to take these courses. The entry fee was very cheap because of high expectations of the school most people couldn't make it. I wondered if the BBA gave scholarships, I could ask.

They stop talking and let teachers walk around and talk to the students. One was approaching me, great. "You're name? I think I've seen you somewhere before?"

"Kai Hiwatari; I'm a world champion beyblader, Bladebreakers." I tried to say as little as I could to the teacher so she wouldn't get the idea I was going here. I wanted too but I could only if the BBA had scholarships. I kind of hoped they did.

"Oh, yes. So what field do you planning on going into? Where are you from?" Great couldn't she ask simple yes and no questions like normal people.

"I'm thinking about going into the Medical field and becoming a doctor. I was raised in Russia. I moved her today." She seemed interested on seeing what I could do in school and walked away.

Position 2, Star 2- Emily

"Hey Emily, want to go against me in a bey match?" I ignored him as I sat and typed on my laptop. "Come on, it would be a challenge for me. The great Emily would actually get to beat me again."

"Bug off Michael. I'm working on a prototype beyblade for our team." Michael sighed, I knew he wouldn't bother me until I beat him.

"Come on Emily, you always said you could beat me so come prove it. I want to challenge you." I sighed. I might as well challenge him. He wouldn't stop until I did. I close my laptop and grabbed my beyblade and walked off.

"3…2…1…Let it Rip." I knocked his blade out of the dish. It was once again an easy to win match. I wished he would improve so I could have a challenge. There were only 2 people who ever proved to be a challenge. Tyson, Kai and sometimes Max; but sadly they both Kai and Tyson were on the other side of the earth right now. Max I had beaten a lot of times over the last few years. I caught by beyblade and stuck it back in my lab coat.

"Great Job, Emily. Is something bothering you?" Judy asked walking up to me congratulating me on my easy win over Michael.

"I'm just kind of lonely right now. Michael is being a pest and I'm kind of getting tired of bothering with these amateurs here. They are getting better but so am I and I'm improving much faster. Only 2 people have ever proven a challenge for me and that's Tyson and Kai. They both aren't here right now." Judy nodded.

"Well maybe you can go back with Maxxie to Japan. I'm sure they'll be glad you stopped by. It will give you a chance to play a very challenging match. I'll call Max from his practice." It would be great to go back with Max and challenge Kai or Tyson. I'd be so happy to see Japan too. "Max would you come up here please."

"Sure mom." Max came up the elevator. "Hey Emily. So mom, what's up. I have to leave soon, I just wanted to get in some last minute blading." I don't think staying with Max is the best idea. I'm probably going to be there for a while and I could even go to school there. They have some of the best scientific schools there.

"Max, can Emily go back with you to Japan. She wants to challenge Kai and Tyson. I don't know how long she's going to stay though." Judy was being nice by asking Max but if it was me, I'd just tell him.

"Sure mom, what does she plan on doing while she down there just blade with them and come back? I think she should stay down there for a while. She would get along fine with them. Kai and Tyson probably could use a good challenge by now." Max always thought it was fun to bother his friends with a lot of new opponents.

"I think I might want to go to school at O'daylawn. It's a scientific 3 year college. It's one of the best in the world. I am going to need the degree if I work at the BBA. So how about it?" I was anxious to see if I could. I needed to go to as scientific school. I wanted to be a scientist for the BBA. I'd need a really great degree like Judy.

"I don't see any reason why you can't. So you'll need a BBA scholarship, correct." I nodded, I didn't have much money just the money that the BBA gave to the Bladebreakers, all stars and the white tigers. It was 5,000 but no nearly enough to go to school so I could get a scholarship and blade at their headquarters there. "I'll call Mr. Dickinson." Judy walked away and I was happy to see that things were going my way. I waited patiently in my room for news.

"Mr. Dickinson said that you and another blader both received a scholarship. He said that he would be working with you and he's going to the same school. It's good that you're going to a good scientific school. Bye Emily. I'll drop you off in the morning." I was so excited. Not only would I be going to Japan. I could challenge Kai and Tyson. I would be working with a great beyblader who's smart and is going to school with me. I hope he isn't obnoxious like Michael.

I quickly packed my things and went to sleep. I would most likely sleep on the plane. I'd be on the airport at 10:45 that would give me a half an hour to get a passport and get aboard. I was so excited the BBA paid about 2,800 for Max and I to go so that blew my budget but good thing the BBA was going to be paying me to go to school, blade for them, attend competitions and give me extra money.

I wondered what kind of person I would be working with for the next 3 years of my life. I mean it wasn't a normal person because they were going to a fancy school, a scientific school, and they were a beyblader. It might be Kenny but Kenny couldn't blade with the top skills and makes the beyblade scores to get the scholarship. I guess I'll have to wait for the morning.

My alarm went off. It's 7am. I took a shower, got dressed, grabbed all my things, and by beyblade and laptop. I was ready. I hoped this person wouldn't be helpful cheery boy like Max or Michael. Max was okay but he just liked to jump around too much. His whole team is awesome but they just were odd.

"Emily, you coming down for breakfast, now." Michael called me. I hadn't finished packing so I just pushed all my things into the suitcase as neatly as I could. I was a little more happy than I usually was.

"Be right there." I grabbed everything and ran down the stairs. Judy looked at me and smiled. She always made sure we weren't dressed too inappropriately for where we were going. She mostly checked on the boys but sometimes she would just watch us to see how we were doing.

"Very nice Emily, I'm sure you're partner will be very impressed. You'll be meeting him this afternoon after you settle in at your new apartment. The BBA took the liberty of finding one for you. It's very close to O'daylawn. I'm sure it will be perfect for getting to the school." She took the liberty of making us breakfast. Usually she let's the cooks do it but she had made it special and brought it into the meeting room.

"You know what. We're going to be missing 2 people from our team for 3 years. You guys will come back and visit right." I didn't really know. I probably would and work on all my beyblade theories. I'd probably be doing that in Japan too but I'd miss my team too much. Michael's questions didn't usually make me think but this one did, odd.

"Ya, I'll probably come back for summer vacation and maybe spring break if I'm not too busy with beyblading and schoolwork. I'll sure miss you guys though." Michael of course stood up. "Yes, I'm sure I'll miss being annoyed by you everyday, Michael."

"So you're going to a fancy school, beyblading with this person that you know nothing about and living in an apartment. I want to go too; except the school thing." I sighed, I started to laugh. I would miss his jokes that would be for sure.

Everyone got into our bus for the last time in a while and we went off to the airport. I said my individual good-byes to everyone. I would miss riding this bus everywhere. I guess it's time I get a car anyway.

"Come on Max, we better go. We wouldn't want to miss our flight." I said grabbing my bags.

"Emily, aren't you forgetting something." I thought, duh my ticket and passport.

"Oops." I walked over to Judy and took my ticket and passport. "Thanks Judy. I'll see you in a few months or a year depending on my work. I'll call you guys and tell you how things are. Bye Judy and bye everyone." I was sure going to miss them. They weren't the best bladers in the world but they had potential and skill. They could be but they wouldn't be better than me.

"I'm ready to go Emily." Max said holding his bags. I took a last look back. He had hugged him mom good-bye. I bet it was really sad for him to leave Judy. I would miss my mom if I had only seen her for a few years after being apart for a few years.

We went through customs and boarded the plane. I had only been on a plane a few times before. It was our own personal BBA jet for our team at our tournaments and other events. This one was larger and it was a lot more cramped. I wish we could have taken the jet but whatever. I was going and that was it.

"So Emily, you have any clue who you're going to be going to school with? I mean the partner who you're going to be beyblading with. I hope he's not like Tyson or Michael or you might strangle him." I laughed. I enjoy talking with max. He was funny which made him a bit different from Judy. He was so caring and nice to people.

"No, Judy and Mr. Dickinson wouldn't tell me. I'm sure that since he's into science and beyblading he wouldn't be anything like Michael. Michael doesn't like school and this person must enjoy being at school to ask for a scholarship to go more years." I wondered what he'd be like. I hoped that my scenario about my partner was right and he wasn't anything like Michael.
