Okay! Here we go, and you can say that Enrique can be a pretty bad influence.


"So, Quennel said we can find someone named Dante here in Italy. The least Quennel could've told us is Dante's address, not the just the area," said Makoto looking around when they arrived in an Italian Town.

"I'm a little worried, Quennel warned us about this bad habit that this Dante person has," said Mark.

"I'm sure it's not so bad. I mean, how bad can a habit get?" Makoto asked putting his hands behind his head. They went to have a short lunch break, then continued looking. Only because Quennel said that they can stay at Dante's place if they find him.

"Where in the world could he be?" Makoto asked, very tired after about an hour and a half of searching. They stopped by what looked like town square with a big fountain in the middle.

"You know how stupid this is? Quennel said he's rich," said Kaiya with her arms folded giving Makoto a look that was saying he's stupid.

"So?" Makoto asked.

"Why can't we just go find the richest house in town and find him there? Besides, it's not liking the way Quennel described him makes iteasier to find especially since a lot of people have short blonde hair!" Kaiya pointed out.

"Well why didn't you say so earlier?" Makoto asked annoyed.

"I thought you'd figure it out by the end of the first half hour," said Kaiya flatly.

"Please guys, don't start fighting now," said Rayna getting worried that these two will be fighting again for another 10 minutes.

"Yeah seriously," said Gou, who was getting annoyed himself from their constant fighting.

"Oh yeah? It's not like Dante is just going to walk up to us and say he's Dante!" said Makoto. The two were completely ignoring the others.

"I never said that was going to happen!" said Kaiya angrily.

"Then what were you trying to say? You only wasted our time for not mentioning your idea in the first place!"

"Maybe if you were a bit smarter it would be even easier! I just think you're too stubborn to listen to me more," said Kaiya coolly.

"Gr! I think it's you that doesn't have the patients to listen to me! You're so annoying! It's understandable that you're annoying because you're a girl but it's even more annoying that you are such a jerk! Not to mention being bossy, rude, show-off, grumpy, a smart-a-" Makoto was cut off by a group of kids running by. Four boys were chasing this little blonde girl.

"What the heck? Crazy kids," Makoto grumbled and faced Kaiya again.

"So anyway-HEY! Where are you going?" Makoto asked shouting after Kaiya who was walking towards those kids.


"You think you're so cool! Just because you're that rich guy's daughter!" said one of the boys to the little girl. She had shoulder length blonde hair, a light pink dress on and well…she's a cutie!

"Yeah! And you know that your brother is an idiot!" said the second boy. The third one picked up a stick and the girl flinched and shuts her eyes.

"Hey…"

All five of the kids looked upwards. Kaiya picked up the boy that had the stick by the stick with one arm,

"I suggest you boys play nicely or I'll have to teach you how to by playing rough," said Kaiya in a deadly voice which sends shivers down all the boys' spines. The boy that was holding the stick lets go and goes to his friends.

"Hey! You're just a girl! And I thought there was something to worry about!" said the fourth boy.

"Oh? You're saying I'm weak because I'm a girl? I'll show you if one of you boys can beybattle because none of you four can stand a chance against the great Dranzer," said Kaiya in an even deadlier voice. The boys were taken back and stepped backwards.

"Hey! I think I hear my mom calling me! I gotta go!"

"Yeah me too!"

"Bye!"

"Wait for me, guys!"

"…" The Blazing Bladebreakers just stared as the boys scattered.

"What losers," said Kaiya and was about to leave when the little girl tugged on Kaiya's shirt.

"Yes?" Kaiya asked in a monotone voice.

"Th-thanks," she said shyly.

"No problem," Kaiya replied.

"Are you really the owner of the great bit beast Dranzer?" the girl asked.

"Yes,"

"Wow…you have to meet my brother!" she said excitedly.

"Oh? And who is your brother?" Kaiya asked raising a brow.

"Maria!" everyone looked in one direction. Running towards them was a boy with blonde hair wearing a red vest over his white shirt and long jeans and about three other guys behind him.

"Maria!"

"Big brother!"

Blonde boy picked Maria up,

"Are you okay? Look at you! You're all dirty!" he asked looking at his sister's clothes.

"Yeah I'm okay! She saved me!" said Maria happily pointing at Kaiya who was just about to take off with her friends.

"And guess what? She's the owner of Dra-"

Maria was cut off when the boy quickly puts her down that it almost looks like he dropped her.

"Please, may I have the name of the most beautiful being that saved my sister?" the boy asked taking a hold of Kaiya's hand.

Maria and the guys that was with her brother anime falls.

Kaiya's friends just sweat drops at this strange moment.

"…It's Kaiya, and don't touch me, plus, that was the worst pick-up line I ever heard," said Kaiya giving him a glare. He ignored it; it seems as if he didn't even see the glare.

"Kaiya, what a beautiful name to suit an angel such as yourself!"

Gou just starts laughing,

"At least, he's a gentleman," said Rayna.

"…I thought I said DON'T TOUCH ME!" Kaiya shouted and hits him.

Everyone that saw that flinched or gasped.

"That's why I was laughing, it was only a matter of time before she hits him," said Gou shaking his head.

"Tough too…I like that," said the boy with a smirk who seemed to have hardly felt the pain.

"Dude, my sister's type of guy has nothing to do with a perverted guy," said Gou.

"Don't go judging people already, Gou," said Rayna.

"Well I wasn't really judging him I just know th-ACK!" Gou was knocked over.

"My what a lucky day this is to find another beautiful angel with the first one right here in Italy,"

"Uh…" Rayna was taken back by this, and the fact that he was holding her hand wasn't adding to her feelings of feeling conformable. Plus, he seems about 2 years older than her, and Rayna never like older boys except her brother and Minkah back home. And come on! She's only a mature 11-year-old!

Gou shot up holding his head with an anime vein.

"Hey! What was that for, Jerk! (Sees him flirty with Rayna) Hey! Don't touch her you pervert!"

"What does 'pervert' mean? And what does 'flirting' mean?" Cam asked and everyone anime falls.

"Of all the vocabulary you know, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT 'PERVERT' AND 'FLIRTING'MEANS?" Makoto exclaimed.

"Why? Do you know what it means?" Kaiya asked Makoto.

"Of course I do! I'm 12! Almost 13!"

"Boys that know what those words mean before the age 13 are usually the perverted ones," said Kaiya.

"You're 12 too!"

"But I'm a girl; it's a good idea for a girl to learn the disgusting traits that boys have so they can be protected. In my case, protect myself."

"Oh and let me guess, your mother told you all this," said Makoto crossing his arms.

"No, my father did," said Kaiya and turned away from him.

"Your…father?" Makoto repeated quite surprised.

"And a good thing he did too or I'd be a dumb as you," said Kaiya and turned her attention back to her brother. He was arguing with the boy and Cam looked like she saw a ghost and was whimpering in tears (anime style). Mark was comforting Cam and Rayna for once wasn't sure how to act and Gou was still fighting with the boy.

"I argue with Makoto for 5 seconds and what did I miss?" Kaiya thought looking over at Mark and Cam.

"Look! I don't know who you are but I want you out of here now!" Gou shouted right up against the guy's face.

"Now why would I do that when there are two lovely girls here?"

"Because if you don't, I'll make you!"

"Yeah right, kid, I have my own bodyguards and they can take you on with a snap of my fingers," he said.

"They're lackeys… yeah well tellthem to bring it on!" said Gou rolling up his sleeves.

"Gou! Don't be an idiot! There's three of them and one of you," said Rayna.

"Yeah and they're only what? 4 inches taller than me? They're not that much older you know," said Gou. Just then Maria gasped.

"I knew you looked familiar! Gou Hiwatari, I LOVE YOU!" Maria exclaimed and glomps him.

"What the? Get off!"

But it seems the whole square heard the name, "Gou Hiwatari" and a few girls came running towards them shouting and squealing.

"Uh oh…Kaiya help me!" Gou called when he noticed he was about to get run over.

"Working on it," said Kaiya looking around, and then grabs Gou.

"Let's go!' she said and starts pulling him forcing him to run.

"Kaiya! Wait!" the team shouted running after her.

Kaiya had to navigate through the streets by instincts and eventually, she lost the group of girls…except for Maria who never did release Gou. The team was panting, that was the longest and fastest run they ever did! Plus, the fact that Kaiya turns corners fast didn't help the others that had a hard time keeping up. The Hiwatari siblings must do a lot of running.

"Hey! Get off my brother you little twerp!" said Kaiya angrily trying to pull Maria off.

"I was wondering why you were so hot, why didn't you say who you were earlier?" Maria asked Gou dreamily completely ignoring the fact that she's being pulled.

"I thought anyone that knew my name would know what I look like," Gou answered trying to gently get her to release him.

"Oh Gou, will you stay in Italy with me?" Maria asked sweetly.

"YEAH RIGHT! OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Kaiya shouted and with one last tug, Maria was off Gou but she lunged towards Gou. Kaiya doesn't release her and Gou backed up a bit.

"Let go of me you old hag!"

"Old-Hag? Old…Hag?" Kaiya growled.

"Uh oh…" said Gou knowing what's coming next. Makoto bursts out laughing,

"Someone besides me is actually brave enough to make fun of Kaiya!" he laughed.

"Makoto, just because you hate Kaiya doesn't mean you have to act like her too you know," said Rayna.

"Yeah!" Mark agreed.

"Hey I think that's Maria's brother," said Cam pointing.

"Maria!"

"Good! Take your brat back!" said Kaiya holding Maria up to him.

"Oh, thank you," he said and handed Maria to one of the boys that were with him and he walks past Kaiya.

"You," he said.

"Me?" Gou asked raising a brow.

"Yes you, I need you help," he said.

"In what?" Gou asked like he's crazy. The guy's looks about a year older, he's a pervert that was hitting on Rayna, he's got a sister that will most likely grow up to be like her brother sadly, and now he's asking for help from him.

"Yes, my name is Dante-"

"HE'S DANTE?" the team exclaimed but he didn't seemed to have heard because he finished his sentence with Gou.

"- and I'm the richest boy in Italy. I get everything I want and the ladies love me but…I never had a fan girl mob as big and demanding as that before! How do you do it?"

Everyone anime falls.

"What do you mean how do I do it? I don't want girls chasing me around! It just happens automatically! Fan girls are the most dangerous things in the world next to snakes and they're far more dangerous than fan boys! Then again, my sister just knocks them out but fan girls don't give up that easily! So no! I won't help you because I can't!" said Gou making an X with his arms.

"But there must be something you have that I don't," said Dante.

"Good looks might count as one of them, and I don't need to judge my brother's looks because the fan girls said it all," said Kaiya crossing her arms.

"Hey Dante! Hello? Dante? I'm talking to you!"

Dante was ignoring Makoto and trying to get Gou to help him get the ladies.

"DANTE!" Makoto shouted.

"Did you call me?" Dante asked,

"YES! Look! Are you part of the Majestics? The team Quennel is on?" Makoto asked pointing at Dante.

"Oh, you know my friend Quennel! Yes, I am part of the Majestics. I hope Quennel was nice but with three lovely ladies I'm pretty sure he treated you all well!" said Dante grinning.

"Well yeah he did but that's not the point! I challenge you to a beybattle!"

"Oh please, not a beybattle. What's the point of showing off if I can't even compare to this guy," said Dante pointing at Gou.

"I told you! I don't know why girls go crazy over me!" Gou shouted angrily.

"He looks sooooo cute when he's angry!" said Maria with stars in his eyes.

"She's scarier than Mary…" Gou thought.

"But I know one thing that I surpass you in. I'm quite the romantic person. I don't know how you are related to such a lovely lady such as your sister," said Dante taking one of Kaiya's hands.

"Don't touch me!" Kaiya was about to beat the perverted-ness out of him by landing a punch but Dante stopped the fist which surprised everybody…especially Kaiya.

"What the? How?"

"You don't I was going to let you hit me twice did you?" Dante asked with a smirk.

"Gr…" Kaiya used her other fist…and Dante blocked that too.

"I learn like this, you're not going to be hitting me if you're angry," said Dante calmly.

"Shut up and let me beat you up silly!"

"Like he's really going to just stand there and let her do that," said Mark with a sweat drop while Kaiya tries to hit Dante but he kept moving and Kaiya kept missing.

"Quit messing with her! As a matter of fact! Quit bothering my team members!" said Gou angrily and took a couple of steps towards Rayna in case he wants to make a move on her…too late.

"And I almost forgot to mention that this is the most cutest girl I've seen! Her hair flows with the wind it's just beautiful!" said Dante now holding Rayna's hands.

"If you want cute, you should see my sister…" said Rayna with a sweat drop.

"HEY! HANDS OFF!" Gou shouted and went over hitting his hands off Rayna. Then Gou got Dante to actually argue with him.


"You have a sister?" Cam asked and Rayna nodded.

"How come we didn't meet her back at the village?" Cam asked.

"Well she wasn't exactly around at the village. My brother watches over her so wherever he goes, she goes unless it's out in town or at the tournament," Rayna explained.

"What about the airport?" Mark asked.

"Well…you know what? I don't know where she was when we were leaving for America," said Rayna realizing that she never thought about that.


"No! No! And NO! Stop hitting on my sister, stop hitting on Rayna and just quit it because you're scaring Cam! Plus, I'm getting annoyed by you!"

"Well that's nice; hmm…maybe Kaiya would like to go on a date with me. What's her favorite flower?" Dante asked and Gou only got madder.

"That does it! If you won't shut up then I'll make you! Battle me right now! HEY! I thought I said stop flirting with Rayna!"

Dante stopped flirting with Rayna and turned to Gou when he held up his blade.

"I see…if she was your girlfriend why didn't you say so?" Dante asked. Rayna and Gou turned red (with anime dot eyes),

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! She's a friend that happens to be a girl!" Gou shouted.

"Y-Yeah, what he said," said Rayna who was still a bit crimson to match the red on her outfit.

"Oh I see…you are still in the denial stage in the path of love! Oh wait, you're still young of course you're still in the denial stage!" said Dante who is quite amused by this.

"Man he's weird!" said Makoto when he observed the way Dante acts.

"You're the weird one," said Kaiya.

"Shut up!"

"I'm not in love!" Gou repeated making a fist.

"Sure you're not, why are you making it such a big deal even when I just touch the girl? Oh yes, that challenge, I accept," said Dante coolly.

"WHAT?" Makoto exclaimed.

"If I win, I'm free to flirt with whoever I want even your friends that are girls and your sister," said Dante.

"And if I win, you cannot and not EVER hit or flirt with anyone on my team!"

"Deal…so this is a team, huh?" said Dante and took out his blade and smirking when he looked at the Blazing Bladebreakers in one gaze.

"You better win this or I'll be really disappointed in you," said Kaiya to Gou strictly.

Dante took them to what looked like a remodel of a Roman colosseum.

"He has way too much time on his hands," said Kaiya in her usual pose.

"Actually, Fair Kaiya, this was my father's creation," said Dante and let them in.

The team was placed on what seemed like special seats above where Gou was standing on one side. The boys that follow Dante around and Maria were on Dante's side also in those special seats. Before the battle started, the place actually started filling in…most with screaming girls.

"Oh just what I needed," Gou grumbled. Dante blew a kiss to the crowd, then he took a rose out of no where and tossed it into the air for fan girls to catch. Then a big wind came along and Dante held up a white rose, another red rose, and a violet rose and lets the wind take it. After a few seconds, the wind stopped and the Rena ended up with the white rose, Cam clumsily caught the red rose, and Kaiya had the violet rose.

"Wow…he's good," said Makoto in awe.

"Pretty," said Cam grinning and smelling the rose she got.

"Show off…" Mark mumbled and was starting to get as annoyed as Gou.

"Uh, that was…nice of him," said Rayna trying to find the right words.

"Maybe I'll give this to Father so when he forgets about he and Mother's anniversary again, he doesn't have to get a present at the last minute like he does every year…then again, this rose won't be alive that long anyway," Kaiya thought and twirled the rose with her fingers.

"Hey! Quit showing off your skills and trying to impress my team!" Gou shouted.

"Can't help it, I'm a kind man and I have a weakness to giving," said Dante as if he's reciting poetry.

"Yeah right, giving gifts to pretty girls is what you really mean," Gou muttered under his breath.

"Let's get this battle started," said Dante getting ready to launch.

"WHAT?" Gou shouted since he couldn't hear over all the cheering and screaming.

Dante waved his launcher and Gou understood. The crowd did the countdown.

"3-2-1-LET IT RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!" The blades were launched and the battle was underway. It's a huge area to battle in but both don't seem to mind it.

"Rise now, Amphilyon!" Dante called and a giant dragon with two heads appeared; one as the head and one on the tail.


"It's a dragon! I should be the one to battle him!" Makoto complained.

"Sit down and shut up," said Kaiya.

"Make me!"

"Okay," said Kaiya and pulled Makoto's collar and thrusts her fist towards the ground pulling Makoto with it and Makoto's face collides with the hard rock ground.

"Makoto!" cried Mark and Cam helping him sit up.


"Sheesh, that's huge but it doesn't scare me!" said Gou confidently and his blade goes on the attack. Dante's blade attacks right back and the two blades are pushing against each other. Since Dante's bit beast is out, it has a bit more power and the two blades were pushed into the wall right under Gou. It shook a bit and because Gou already thought this thing was ancient, he wasn't surprised when the rock cracked beneath him. He was surprised when he fell into their big battle field.

"Ow…oh well. I've done street blading before so this shouldn't be so hard," said Gou smirking after standing up and dusting himself off.

"Hn, so confident. Poor boy," thought Dante and grins knowing he's going to win this battle.

"Amphilyon! Finish this!"

"Let's do this! Show him the power of two elements!" Gou shouted and a creature like not other rose from the blade. It looked like a fused creature. It had one black phoenix wings on one side and a white dragon wing on the other. It has many black feathery tails but long claws of a white dragon. A white dragon body with phoenix talons.

"What is that?" Dante said out loud in surprise.

"Now! Heaven Meteor Shower!" Gou shouted as stars seemed appeared and brighter than day shooting down at Amphilyon. But after the attack was over, Amphilyon didn't seem to have been affected.

"Dang! Go! Scale Storm!"

"Counter attack Amphilyon!"

"Gou! Come on! You can do better than that!" Kaiya shouted from and Gou grew an anime vein.

"Okay! I'm trying!" he shouted back.

"It's not easy controlling a creature with two elements that are made of two bit beast so they would balance plus using only the light element attacks, I would just love to see you try, Kaiya," said Gou and his mind went back to the battle.

The battle went on a while, Gou had to dodge the bit beast attacks himself a couple of time but he was right back on his feet. Yet…Gou was getting tired and breathing heavily.

"Finish this, Amphilyon!"

"Dragix! Yin-Yang Star attack!"

Gou just saved himself from being defeated and he damaged his opponent's blade but he fell to his knees breathing heavier.

"That was too much…almost lost control and that attack took up too much of my energy. But it was worth it," thought Gou when he saw that Dante's blade is slowing down.

Dante wasn't sure what to do now, he can't continue to attack or his blade will slow down more.

"Now Dragix! Finish this battle!"

The Dragon-Phoenix bit beast attacks the two-headed dragon and there was smoke. Gou was exhausted and couldn't look. After the smoke cleared, the crowd gasped. Gou looked up and he was surprised too. There was a second blade that blocked the attack that Gou launched to finish Amphilyon.

"Just because you're the hottest guy I've seen doesn't mean I'll let you beat my older brother!" said Maria holding a launcher and was now standing next to Dante.

"Great, I have to face two people now?" Gou asked out loud.

"No…Go Dragoon!" A blue dragon joined the battle and took out Maria's blade. Makoto jumped next to Gou,

"Are you okay?" he asked giving Gou his hand.

"Uh, yeah," Gou replied taking his hand and pulled himself up.

"Do you want to finish this battle, Gou?" Makoto asked.

"…No, I would've taken him out if Maria didn't but in but I'm too exhausted now. Do this for me, Makoto. And what in the world happened to your face?" asked Gou when he noticed Makoto's bandaged face.

"Don't want to talk about it," said Makoto seriously and faced Dante.

"Dragoon! Phantom Twister!"

After the battle, won by both Gou and Makoto, the team was staying with Dante.

Dante actually accepted the loss since it was only fair and he knew he was going to lose to Gou anyway if his sister didn't come into the battle. He did wonder how tough Makoto would be but after seeing that attack and almost blowing up that colosseum, he didn't need a battle to find out. Gou was exhausted, he fell asleep right away. Though none of his friends understood why, he wasn't hurt but he looked like he about to die after the battle; Kaiya wouldn't say anything. Speaking of which, Kaiya and Makoto haven't said a word to each other. It took the next day for Gou to notice that the two's relationship is even worse than before.

"Kaiya?" Gou asked the next day when he was feeling better.

"Hn?"

"What did you say or do to Makoto?" Gou asked.

"…Nothing,"

"Then what happened to his face? It looked like it was slid across a street or something," said Gou seriously.

"Nothing!" Kaiya snapped.

"…" Gou didn't believe her but she was too stubborn for her own good and he knew it so he left her alone.

"Head for Germany, I'm sure you still have time before the Russian tournament so go meet the leader of the Majestics. His name is Roger and around this time, Laird might be there too so you might be able to battle Laird too. You know what, I'll just take you there personally," said Dante and the team couldn't be happier that they're getting to Germany much easier. Well, the girls were staying as far away from him as possible but other than that, and the tensed silence between Kaiya and Makoto, it should be a good trip.

The team was worried, their captains haven't said a word to each other, they didn't even glance at each other. They decided to leave the two alone. Who else can solve the problem but themselves after all right?


Please R and R!

Next: Makoto and Kaiya continue to give each other the cold shoulder. It's one challenge after another when Makoto, Mark, and Kaiya take on the last two Majestics. But is this too much for Makoto? Especially when Kaiya only makes him feel worse?
