Sorry for the late update, I wasn't in a story writing mood when I got back from Taiwan.

"Kai! Stop making a big deal out of this!" said Kaida, half scolding.
"She abandoned the battle," said Kai and was pacing around, waiting for Kaiya to show up.
"Kai! A life is more important than a beybattle!"
"A Hiwatari does not run away from a battle," said Kai strictly.
"I have, to save you remember?" Kaida reminded,
"Yes, but remember this: You were married into the family, you're not a Hiwatari by blood so I don't count that," said Kai,
"So you're saying that you would much rather win if you were in my place?"
"Yes! I mean NO!"
"Ooh bad answer," said Tyson, who, along with Rei and Max, was hiding around the corner waiting for the two to finish talking but it ended up being eavesdropping for them.
"I feel like Kai's gotten a lot more prideful than before," said Max,
"I know, and Kaida's getting more short-tempered," said Rei,
"You can't blame her, Kaida's living alone since the kids are here and Kai's always has some business to do," Tyson reminded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gou fluttered his eyes open and this first sound he let out was a groan of pain.
"Before you try, don't get up," said Kaiya and places a hand on his forehead.
"Ow…what happened?"
"Let's put it this way since you hate hospitals-"
"No, that's you," said Gou,
"Shut up. Anyway, you've been out for a while so they could remove this from you," said Kaiya showing an X-Ray picture of a piece of metal sticking in his body.
"Oh yeah…so is Rayna okay?"
"Oh she's fine. I think she is at least. Yeah she's fine, her brother came over here to…well it's either check if she's okay, talk to her, or scold her," Kaiya explained.
"Oh man, I have a bad headache," Gou groaned,
"It's normal if you start seeing water on the ceiling or flowers popping from behind people," said Kaiya,
"How is that normal?" Gou asked,
"Because it means you'll be perfectly fine the next day," said Kaiya and Gou nodded in partial understanding.
"I also advise you to be as sick as long as you can." Said Kaiya,
"Why?" Gou asked, now confused,
"Because our parents are here and Father isn't pleased with my battle," said Kaiya,
"Why? Didn't you win?" Gou asked,
"Well…no," Kaiya muttered. Kaiya opened her mouth to say something else but the door was slammed open.
"Who wants pizza? Made American-styled!" Makoto exclaimed and came in with Mark, Mary, and Cam, each holding a box of pizza.
"MAKOTO!" Kaiya shouted and was about to strangle him. Makoto held the box her had in front of him to use as a shield. Mark didn't want to waste his money on making it American styled so he snatched the box away from Makoto.
"K-Kaiya! Wait! I'm sorry if I interrupted something!" Makoto quickly said and then used his arms to defend himself. Kaiya got to his collar and leaned forward anyway, nearly pushing Makoto all the way down.
"That wasn't the point! Gou is supposed to be resting and you decide to just barge in here and make some noise! How the heck is Gou supposed to get better that way, HUH?" Kaiya shouted,
"Y-Yeah, sorry about that. I just never tried pizza that was made American styled before. I didn't know Americans ate with just cheese on it. I always have at least pineapple on it. But still, you wouldn't really hurt me right? Not after all we've been through," said Makoto and grinned, but he was really scared deep down.
"Guess again, Makoto…"
"Gee I don't know, if you really wanted to hurt me, you would've called me by my last name instead of my first name. Note that you called me by my first name twice in a row," Makoto pointed out. Kaiya gave him a look, then she just dropped him.
"Well this just proved to me that I'm not dreaming," said Gou,
"So, you feeling alright?" Mark asked and pulled up a chair,
"Better than I remembered," Gou replied.
"You scared us Gou!" Cam scolded,
"Sorry…"
"It's alright, Gou. Besides, it just proved that Kaiya really does care about other people and not just herself and beyblading," said Makoto and sat in the chair that Kaiya was at next to the bed.
"Makoto…" Kaiya growled.
"I know, but now I wonder if she'll do the same if you were in my place," Gou thought out loud.
"I wouldn't give a care!" said Kaiya and kicked Makoto off her seat and she sat down.
"Aw come on, what if it was Mark? Or Cam?" Makoto asked,
"Of course, someone needs to worry about them," said Kaiya and took a slice of pizza.
"You're so cruel to me…" said Makoto with anime tears.
"She just likes picking on you for some reason," said Gou with a half smile and half smirk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, the next battle is it. And I heard that Tara is asking for another battle," said Cam.
"Are you allowed to do that?" Mark asked,
"Well I guess it depends on the situation," said Cam,
"I call last battle!" Makoto shouted raising his hand,
"What did he eat today? He's seems pretty hyper," Kaiya whispered to Mark,
"I'm not his baby-sitter; I don't know what he was doing while Cam and I were waiting for the pizza. He just came along," said Mark and shrugged.
"He ate candy and ice cream with me!" Mary shouted happily.
"I should've known…" said Mark with a sweat drop.
"Actually, Mako, I was going to say that I think you're the best choice for this battle," said Cam,
"Whoo!"
"Mako, lay off the sugar," said Gou,
"What are you talking about? I'm not sugar!"
"…Then why do you have candy and sugar bags in your pocket? Can I have the lollipop sticking out?" Gou asked,
"Sure!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"…I didn't mean to put you in danger. It's just an old rivalry that Kaiya and I were settling," said Tara, leaning against the wall with Rayna on the other side,
"But it was Gou that got hurt…"
"I feel bad too okay? I mean, I just injured a Hiwatari! My father is going to get it from Kaiya's father! Not to mention I just hurt a sizzling hot blader!"
Rayna sweat drops.
"You're Kaiya's rival and you never knew she had a brother?"
"Nope, but who would've thought that this guy, what's his name, could catch my sight!"
"Uh huh and his name his Gou…yeah and I also wanted to say that you better hide out until my brother leaves because he's not afraid to hurt someone," Rayna warned,
"Hn, you are definitely a Kon," said Tara and left the wall to leave,
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Rayna asked,
"It means, you're a Kon," said Tara and continued walking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, have you kids seen Rayna?" Dien asked coming into the room,
"Who are you calling kids?" Mark asked and stood up,
"I don't know you're names," said Dien,
"Isn't that Rayna's brother?" Gou asked,
"Yes, is it really that hard for you to forget?" Kaiya asked,
"I am hospitalized," Gou remained.
"No Rayna here," said Makoto and was calming down on juice instead of soda, this was, of course, Kaiya's idea and she forced him to do so. Dien crossed his arms and decided to just join them for the time being. After all, Rayna will have to come in sometime.
It was night and they had to leave Gou since visiting hours are over and because they can't all cramp in one hospital room.
"Dang…it's boring already. And where the heck did Rayna go?" Gou asked out loud. Heck he's been asleep for a few days, he's not even feeling tired.
"Right here."
"Gou was about to sit up and look at the door but his pain reminded him not to. Rayna walked up next to the bed,
"Sorry I'm late; I came here as soon as I could when I heard you finally woke up. And I'm…sorry you got hurt. It was my fault! I-"
"Oh Rayna, I think anyone on the team would've done it. I was just closest to you. Wouldn't you have done the same if we swapped places?" Gou pointed out,
"Of course I would, but-"
"Then there's no one to blame. It was an accident," said Gou, calmly and smiled.
"I guess…Look Gou, um; Makoto is going to battle Tara tomorrow. And if it's okay with you, can I keep you company to watch the battle on T.V. with you?" Rayna asked,
"I would love it!" Gou immediately answers. A little too quick but Rayna didn't question.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battle was indoors but Cam was just pretty sure they only closed the top part of the stadium.
Tara was getting a second chance and it all comes down to Tara and Makoto.
"I'll warn you right now, I'm dangerous so if you can't take the heat, I suggest you back down now," Tara warned pointing at him.
"Hn, I can take the heat. Especially after beating all four members of the Majestics!" Makoto said proudly,
"What? Yeah right!" said Tara, not believing him at all.
"I'll prove it to you!" said Makoto confidently,
"Makoto! Be careful, Tara's a dangerous blader," Kaiya warned,
"Oh wow! You, Kinomiya, is a work for wonders because never in my life did I think I would see the day that Kaiya Hiwatari would actually worry about someone other than herself and I guess her brother too," said Tara.
"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! And I don't care what happens to HIM!" Kaiya shouted and looked like she wanted to get up there and beat her rival up personally. Mark and Cam were holding her back just to keep her from doing that.
"Kaiya has a heart, why are you making a big deal out of it as if she doesn't?" Makoto asked,
"Because she doesn't," Tara replied simply.
"NO! YOU DON'T!" Kaiya shouted.
"Well let's see. I'm not sure how long this blader will last against an aggressive wolf like me!" said Tara and smirked.
"Tara sure likes doing the tough-guy act, er, tough girl," said Rayna, sitting next to the hospital bed next to Gou.
"I don't like her…I wish I was the one facing her," said Gou and crossed his arms,
"I'm sure she didn't mean what she said about your sister or Mako," said Rayna calmly. Gou sighed and crossed his arms.
"3-2-1-LET IT RIP!" The two bladers launched their blades and since this is the final round of the tournament, it was a normal but large dish with one round only.
"Ladies first! Icicle Assault!"
"Dragoon! Look out! "
"Can't dodge ice forever!"
The pointy ices were falling like heaving rain and finally, a few of them hit Dragoon in a row.
"Makoto! If she keeps using that same attack and you only dodge than this match is over!" Cam shouted,
"Don't give up on Big Brother Markie's friend! Go get her! Win this for the team!" Mary shouted with two Japanese fans. Mark was embarrassed by her actions and sat down on the bench with Dien.
"Your sister isn't as bad as mine, want to trade?" Dien asked,
"I like Rayna but you don't have to be that cruel you know," said Mark,
"I was talking about my other sister, Rin," said Dien and turned his attention back to the battle.
"How about we both keep our own sisters? Hm?" Mark then noticed Makoto's bag next to him where certain blue themed clothing was hanging out. Mark pulled it out,
"When and where did he get this?" Mark asked out loud.
"Go Dragoon!"
"I can't lose, not after what happened. Not after what happened to Gou and definitely not after seeing my father…who was eavesdropping and Gou and Kaiya's parents. I wish I could've spoken to him but now that I know he's here watching I can't fail him with Dragoon…"
"Wolborg!"
"Dragoon!"
The two blades hit at the center, ice flew everywhere, especially with the boost from the wind. Tara got a few cuts from those sharp ices but she seemed to have just shrugged them off…like she was used to them.
Makoto's first reactions was trying to avoid them but he only shouted in pain when a few hit him but it only hurt when they hit the side of his waist and he fell to one knee.
"That hurt…"
"Makoto! Are you alright?" Cam asked worriedly,
"Fine! For now!" said Makoto and stood back up holding his side.
"Hm…I see you experienced an injury before this battle. What kind of team lets their most injured teammate battle in the final round of the tournament?" Tara asked, slightly amused.
"Because I wanted to and my friends believe that I can win! Besides, if I beat you, then that means I can beat Kaiya without battling her," said Makoto and smirked,
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? I can beat you while blindfolded!" Kaiya exclaimed.
"C-Calm down, he's joking around like he always does," said Cam with a sweat drop along with Mark and Dien. Mary just continued cheering.
"Does this arguing between your team captains happen often?" Dien asked,
"You have no idea," said Mark and was embarrassed again.
"I cannot believe it then. I wonder how long it will take until those two admit how they feel about each other," said Dien with a bit of curiosity in his voice.
"What are you talking about?" Mark asked, confused,
"You'll understand when you're older," said Dien and continued to watch the battle,
"I'm the third oldest one on the team!" Mark exclaimed.
"Yes and I'm the oldest one out of all of you," Dien pointed out.
Wind and ice were freezing the dish and both bladers were getting a bit tired.
"Come on Makoto…You can do it!" said Gou in a whisper.
Makoto started breathing a bit more heavily and even shivering a bit, the dish was freezing over.
"Cold…"
"I did say: Can't stand the heat. But I guess you can, you just can't stand the cold! Wolborg! Let's cool things down!"
Makoto held himself, Wolborg just caused a blizzard and he's feeling most of it! Well so is Tara but she's used to the cold.
"Makoto! Don't just stand there! Do something!" Kaiya shouted, half scolding.
"Wolborg! Deep Freeze!" Wolborg then lets out some snow and ice and this time, it's targeting Makoto.
"Th-this is f-freezing c-cold!" Makoto shivered and knew why once he looked down, his legs were frozen and he will be the first beyblader popsicle if he doesn't do something soon.
"I have to do something...too cold. Way too cold! So this is how being stuck in a blizzard without the right clothes feels like. What am I going to do? Too tired…"
Makoto couldn't keep his eyes slightly open to see anymore. He felt so tired.
"That's cheating Tara!" Kaiya shouted,
"Not really, it wasn't a direct attack and he's not injured or anything. It's legal, Hiwatari, deal with it. I thought you didn't care about what happens to him," said Tara and Kaiya gave her a death glare.
"Makoto! Snap out of it! Don't just stand there or you'll be frozen from the legs up!" Mark shouted,
"Come on Mako! Attack! Don't you dare fall asleep in the middle of a battle!" Cam shouted when she noticed Makoto wobble a bit.
"If Wolborg continues to spray that blizzard on him and Dragoon then this battle will be over. Plus, if Makoto doesn't do something about it, he definitely will fall asleep from the cold," said Dien, who hasn't budged from his position.
"Makoto's legs are frozen and the ice is now up to his waist.
"I can't see where Dragoon is!" Mark exclaimed near panic. Makoto's half of the dish was pretty much completely frozen over but Dragoon was no where to be seen.
"If it's frozen under the ice then this battle really is over!" Mary exclaimed,
"Not exactly; it's still possible, but I doubt it, that the blade is still spinning under all that ice," said Dien, who was probably the calmest out of all of them.
"Rayna! Go down to the stadium, try and snap him out of it!" said Gou,
"Wh-what?"
"Makoto must be freezing, that's why he's not doing anything," said Gou,
"Alright but I'm taking you with me," said Rayna and stood up,
"How?" Gou asked but the door opened before anything else can be determined.
"Sorry but Gou has to rest…"
"Ack! Mom? What are you doing here?" Gou asked but then he remembered that Kaiya did say his parents were here so he lost that surprised expression pretty quickly.
"Your mom? How come I've never seen her in beyblade magazine or news?" Rayna asked,
"Yeah she's my mom. After Mother married into the Hiwatari family-"
"I kind of stopped blading," Kaida finished for Gou.
"Oh…may I ask why?" Rayna asked,
"Hard to say. Mostly because I had to take care of the house since Kai's a business man after his grandfather died. Since Kai doesn't want to bother with butlers or maids, I'm left running the house. So I don't have time for beyblading anymore and the next thing I knew, Gou owns my blade now," Kaida explained.
"My dad doesn't really treat anyone fair in the family in my opinion, except Kaiya at least," said Gou and lies back against the pillows,
"Gou…" Kaida gave him a look.
"I'm sorry, but it's the truth," said Gou,
"At least in your opinion," Rayna added,
"Yes, in my opinion. Mother, please say you have an idea of how to get Makoto to battle and not just stand there?" Gou asked,
"Makoto has to get out of it on his own. If not, he needs a boost from his friends," Kaida replied and sat down on the side of Gou's bed and crossed her arms,
"…I'll go to Makoto," said Rayna and took off,
"Mom! Please! Mako needs me!" Gou pleaded,
"I'm sorry but your injury will only get worse and I'm speaking from experience," said Kaida,
"But I did lose count on how many times I've done that. It was Tek's influence anyway. Boy am I glad that Brooklyn didn't let their kids join the tournament."
"Mother…"
"Hm?"
"Why are you father fighting?"
"…It's nothing, just a big disagreement. But don't worry, this won't effect you," said Kaida and pats Gou on the head.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Dad look! I did it! I did it!" Makoto cheered when he broke a rock with his blade. His mother and father were having a small snack at a table,
"That's great, just look out for the flying small rocks from the original big one," said Tyson and Makoto got hit in the head with a rock.
"Next time, warn him before he does something dangerous with his blade!" Hilary scolded,
"Alright, I will," said Tyson and continued to look at some pictures.
"Ooh! I remember their wedding! Kaida looked so cute in that dress!" Hilary squealed and snatched a picture from Tyson's hands and Ty just picked up another one.
"I haven't heard from Kaida and Kai in a while, I'm glad Kaida is keeping us up to date anyway," said Tyson.
"Who's Kai? Who are these people?" Makoto asked and jumped onto a chair where a bunch of pictures and a piece of paper (a letter) lay.
"They're my friends, but we've haven't seen each other for a while and one of them, who happens to be more generous than Mr. Sourpuss, was just letting me and your mom know how they were doing," Tyson explained,
"Either that or they were telling your father to get off his lazy butt away from the T.V. and go visit them," said Hilary,
"Oh come on, all you do is do garden work. You should visit them too," Tyson pointed out.
Makoto reached for a picture that was still in the envelope.
"Hey who are they?" Makoto asked,
"Oh, I didn't see that one," said Tyson and reached for it but Hilary got it first.
"Oh they are sooooo cute! These must be Kai and Kaida's kids. Look at them! They look just like their parents! Well the son looks just like Kai," said Hilary pointing at the picture with two kids in it. One that looks like Kai and a girl in two ponytails.
"Whoa, he does look just like Kai. At least his son can smile!"
Makoto was still curious about these people,
"The boy looks cool. And that girl looks cute," said Makoto and Hilary gently hit him,
"You're a little too young to go eyeing girls," said Hilary strictly.
"I just said she was cute! What's wrong with that?"
"MAKOTO!"
A hard item just smacked Makoto at the back of his head.
"Ow…"
"Hey it worked," said Mark and looked at Dien who was holding another rock,
"Of course it worked," said Dien and dropped the rock,
"Yes but I'm still mad that you threw a rock at him!" said Mark angrily,
"There's no egg around here, I usually throw eggs," said Dien.
"That rock is bigger than an egg unless you're talking about an ostrich egg!" Mark argued with an anime vein.
"WHO THREW THAT AT ME?" Makoto exclaimed and turned around, except he couldn't.
Everyone pointed at Dien,
"It was her idea," said Dien calmly and pointed to Kaiya.
"I-I just wanted you to beybattle! They were about to announce that you lost and Tara won and I wanted you to wake up!" Kaiya shouted. Makoto tried to move but the ice was all the way up to his chest. Then he looked down at the dish, Dragoon was no where to be seen.
"You've lost anyway, your blade is buried and frozen under all that ice!" said Tara,
"…No, Dragoon is still spinning,"
"And I'm spinning from a splitting headache…"
"What?" Tara looked down and she was surprised to see ice cracking.
"How? It's so thick!"
"Yeah, well I'm still alright. Even though I can't budge any lower parts of my body, I'm still here!"
Rayna got there and was relieved to see that the battle wasn't over yet.
"Makoto! You can do it!"
"Oh hey Rayna, glad you can join us!"
"Makoto! This isn't the time to be saying hello so get your head back into the battle you idiot!" Kaiya scolded,
"Okay, geez," said Makoto and tried to get out of the ice and now he knows that he's stuck good. The ice continues to crack and finally, a hole was made and out came Dragoon.
"Told you! Dragoon! Phantom Hurricane!"
"Wolborg! Icy Wind!"
"Someone's going to get hurt from this," said Dien and went back to the bench to have shelter. While Dragoon ad Wolborg went at it, Makoto continued to struggle to move.
"It's so thick, I actually fell asleep to have a flashback…hn, wait so those two in the picture was Gou and Kaiya huh? Man, how could I have forgotten a cute girl like that? Wait a second, that was Kaiya?" Makoto was about to start laughing out loud, after all, Kaiya in ponytails? Not a common sight these days.
"Makoto! What are you doing? Just kick her butt and then we can get you out of there!"
"K-Kaiya, clam down, Makoto's doing the best he can," said Cam nervously, partially afraid of Kaiya herself when she's mad,
"He's daydreaming! That idiot wouldn't know he's in trouble until he's out of it!"
"I never realized how cool she is," said Mary,
"What?" Mark asked and is now afraid that Mary might start treating her team the way Kaiya does.
"If I was the one battling this battle will be over by now!" said Kaiya and was losing her patience. Makoto grew an anime vein,
"Well that's only because you have fire and I have wind! Quit complaining!"
"Quit complaining? I don't complain! You complain all the time! Enough to give me a headache!"
"I only try to be your friend and now that we are you still give me a hard time!"
"Yeah? Well so do you! So quit complaining, shut up, turn your head around, quit moving, and concentrate on the battle. If you continue to struggle to get out of your icy situation you have there, you might reopen your wound…"
"Huh? Oh…"
"This is stupid, no, she's stupid. If she's worried about me, why not just say so instead of treating me like…the way she always treats me."
"Makoto! Come on! You're not going to last much longer! Finish this battle!" Mark shouted,
"Mark's right! Your physical condition and the time that Dragoon's been spinning, you're going to lose if you don't finish this battle!" Cam added,
"Come on Makoto! Gou's rooting for you too!" said Rayna,
"Makoto if you don't win then this whole trip in the tournament will be a waste!"
"Kaiya just had to say something that wasn't supportive…" Makoto thought with a small anime vein but then remembered something.
"Actually Kaiya, it wasn't a waste. And since you're so smart, you can figure out why," said Makoto calmly.
"Cam, I got an idea. Hey Mako! After you win this, lets all go out for a great big dinner!" Mark suggested,
"OKAY! You just got yourself a victory from me!"
"…"
"Food?" Kaiya asked,
"This is Makoto we're talking about here," Cam reminded.
Tara was getting angry and exhausted; this battle should've been over the moment Makoto was pelted by sheer cold.
"Food? Yeah right, I can tell from his eyes that he's got a different motive for winning. And it's something else besides living up to his father's name. What else is giving this guy the motivation to keep going? What's giving him the will and power to continue this battle even in his condition? No, my questions should be who, not what…Kaiya?"
"Alright Dragoon! Let's finish this! PHANTOM TWISTER!"
"ICICLE ASSULT!"
The tornado sucked the icicles in and Tara was surprised by how her attacked failed.
"How can he have more power than before?" Tara asked out loud,
"Because, I'm fighting for more than just the glory of winning this tournament! I will not let down my team!"
The ice began to crack and finally, Makoto was free and he fell to his knees. His body felt numb but it's not stopping him from winning.
"You need water to make ice, but for ice, you need water from the air. That's why your attacks were so effective against me. My bit beast uses the elements wind. But, that can be used against you too! Get that blade Dragoon!"
The tornado then trapped Wolborg in the middle of the tornado, turning into a hurricane.
"The vortex from all the wind spinning so fast is stopping the oxygen. No air, no water, no ice! Clever, Makoto!" said Cam happily,
"Now I'm scared, did Makoto figure that out himself?" Mark asked, not believing what Makoto had thought through.
"Wolborg! No!"
"Yes! Dragoon! Finish this!"
The mythical blue dragon rose from its bit beast to attack the wolf that appeared as well. The blue dragon overpowered the white wolf and brought it down with a bang. Smoke covered the field and everyone waited. Makoto was still on the ground, he couldn't move his legs. After the smoke cleared, there in the dish laid ice, pieces of ice, parts of the now, broken dish, two beyblades and one just went into a stop while the other was out of the dish.
"…WE HAVE A WINNER!"
Mark, Cam, and Rayna cheered and Gou smiled and gave a "Yes!" to what his team has accomplished.
As the crowd shouted, screamed, and cheered, Team G-Revolution was just as happy.
"Ha! Take that Kai! I was so right!" Tyson bragged,
"…"
"Um, hey Tyson, why don't you go see Makoto and we'll…make sure Kai doesn't kill you," said Max as he and Ray slowly pull Kai a bit away from Tyson.
Tara picked up her blade and looked at Makoto,
"Not bad, no wonder you're a Kinomiya. I hope we meet again someday but next time, it'll be different," said Tara coolly and left the stadium. Makoto let out a sigh and tried to stand up, but his legs were so numb from being frozen solid for so long that he fell again.
"Here…" Kaiya reached a hand out to him and Makoto gladly took it without hesitation. The strength in his legs weren't exactly back and was about to fall again but Kaiya caught a hold of him,
"You're heavy," said Kaiya,
"Shut up…"
Kaiya took his arm and helped him down while Rayna gets his blade.
"So…why are you being mean to me again?" Makoto asked,
"No reason, I just thought it'll give you the motivation to win and it did," said Kaiya plain and simple.
"Oh yeah? Well it wasn't very nice way," said Makoto and meant it.
"…Fine, then I'm sorry," said Kaiya.
"DID KAIYA JUST APOLOGIZE?" Cam and Mark exclaimed. Kaiya grew an anime vein,
"Yes…got a problem with that?"
"NO!" the two quickly answered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is awesome and as soon as I get out of this hospital, it's home sweet home," said Gou,
"I wish…Rayna; you're going back to China aren't you?" Cam asked,
"She's WHAT?" Gou asked in surprise,
"Well, my brother wants me to. Everybody wants me to. Then again, they're not the boss of me. So…I guess if I have a place to stay, I'm not going anywhere but with the team," said Rayna,
"Then that's great! You can cook for my place as your payment and you can live in my dojo for as long as you want!" Makoto offered who was also in a bed next to Gou. He was hospitalized until the doctors gave a confirm that he'll alright after that battle.
"If it's okay with your family," said Rayna,
"I'm sure they'll say yes," said Makoto,
"And if not, there's always my place," said Mark,
"And mine!" added Cam.
"Thank you all!"
"So… we get the dojo?" Gou asked Kaiya,
"It is fairly large if I remember the last time I saw the outside of it. Why not?" Kaiya shrugged,
"Wait, so you're not going home?" Mark asked,
"We all live in Japan, we might as well stay together…" said Kaiya but they almost didn't catch that since she was mumbling.
"Sure as long as you do something as payment. How about doing my chores?" said Makoto,
"In your dreams, Makoto," said Kaiya,
"I thought you were going to say 'Kinomiya' on that one!" said Gou,
"Makoto is shorter than Kinomiya by one syllable," said Kaiya,
"Sure that's your reason," said Gou with a smirk.
"I still can't believe we won though," said Cam,
"I can't wait to tell Tai about this once he gets back!" said Makoto,
"I know! He missed out on a lot but we know that once he gets back, we'll probably have a new blader on our team!" Mark reminded.
"So what's in store for us?" Gou asked,
"More beyblading victories, that's what's in store for us," Kaiya answered.
"Nice way to put it, we think alike!" said Makoto with a grin.
"Hn…only a little," said Kaiya and finally looks at Makoto the way she looks at the rest of her teammates.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No way am I ending it here! One more chapter coming before this story comes to a close!
But I do have a problem (and might as well make this the sneak peak), for the sequel of my beyblade series, I'm not sure if I should make it two stories or smash it all into one like a season with two arcs. The first story is the beyblade tournament, when Makoto understands the pressure and pain when his teammates leave him for a shot at glory. He and Gou seem to be the only ones that learned from history with their parents. The second story is a bit different. I haven't thought much about it yet but I definitely have the ending for it and is most likely going to be the conclusion of my beyblade series. Basically, a new team comes to town and wants the seal away the bit beasts. That's the main objective but I have to put it into a story. So what do you guys think? Two separate stories or two in one?
And please R and R!
