Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblades but Shaga, Shivo, Mint and any other random person is mine, all mine! Mwahahahahahahahahaha! Yeah… done now.

Warning, this probably will seem a tad bit strange but hang in there and who knows, maybe this fan fiction will actually start making sense!

And I'm sorry about the wait, but I wasn't feeling well enough to post yesterday. They all would have died horrible deaths if I tried writing yesterday. So lets all continue on on a happier note! To the fict!

The Shaga Saga

Chapter 13

Shaga's Brother

Ray's POV
Shaga's mouth practically hit the ground as she received the transmission from some random guy. She looked a little flustered as she began to drag me away to search for that guy and Kai.

"Ray! He should be around here!" Shaga called her voice pitching with

I frowned as I walked down the sidewalk, not seeing anything beneath the bridge support. I slid down the steep grassy slope to view all the way under the bridge.

"You see them?" I called up to Shaga as scanned around for any sign of the two.

"No…" Shaga said gloomily, I would have more compassion but right now I didn't trust this guy, Shivo.

I slowly padded up the hill, not in too much of hurry. Yes, I was worried about Kai being with that weird man but at the same time I haven't found hide nor hair of them being around. That I couldn't see them beneath any of the other bridges that crossed the river.

"Ray?" I heard drift my way as I crested the top of the hill.

Shaga and my eyes both flew onto him. Kai was standing behind Shaga with a brunette man sighing dejectedly.

"I thought you agreed that we'd sneak up behind Shaga." The man grumbled teasing Kai as he walked over to Shaga.

"How did you do, Shivo? How'd you fool my tracer?" Shaga asked, smiling deviously, almost proud of Kai's warning.

However I probably would have given them away once I looked up. However I was too worn out to listen to their continued banter. Sibling robots what can you do about them?

Kai was closely observing them, probably trying to judge Shivo's character. He stood there with his arms crossed and his back to me. Gingerly I walked up and stood just outside his bubble.

"Hey, Kai, you alright?" I asked.

He looked over his shoulder at me. His crimson eyes revealed nothing but before he could even finish deciding whether or not answer a flash of light brought our attention back to the siblings.

Shaga stood about three feet from Shivo, slowly circling around each other. Suddenly Shivo stopped her from circling and began punching the air before him. The air suddenly became missiles and launched out at Shaga. Shaga easily sidestepped them.

Unfortunately for me I was their next target. I closed my eyes and braced for impact. However instead I felt something grab me around the shoulders and yank me aside. I opened my eyes in time to see Kai stepping back to watch the missiles skip off the river's surface and dissipate into the air.

I gasped as I sunk to the grass coated ground. I was still shook up about nearly getting pulverized by air.

Kai kneeled next to me, his eyes focused on the battle before us ready to relocate us again if another stray volley came our way.

But it was swiftly over then as Shaga slid in behind Shivo and caught him in a chicken wing.

"Well little brother, do you give?" She cooed evilly as she twisted his arm further.

Shivo laughed bitterly and Shaga released him. They laughed together for a bit before Shivo gave his official surrender.

"You win, like always." He laughed and patted Shaga's shoulder.

I noticed at Kai was starting drift away now, apparently the party was over. I turned to see Shivo doing more weird robot stuff with Shaga. I felt torn, I wanted to find out more about Shivo at the same time I never properly thanked Kai for saving me back there. I turned back to Kai but a surge of tourist suddenly washed over him.

I scanned the crowd trying to pin point him but it was no use.

"Kai…" I sighed barely audible.

"What was that kid?" Shivo shouted over at me.

Oh goddess! Did he hear me?! How creepy!

I shook my head at him, trying to mask my apprehension. He turned back to Shaga, completely fooled by me. I sighed and scanned the crowd again.

"Shaga… Kai's vanished." I say somewhat softly.

"What?" Shaga and Shivo say at the same time, their eyes locked on me as if they were going kill me. Oh, goddess Kai! Why'd you leave me with these homicidal siblings?

"Damn it Ray, why didn't you speak up sooner." Shaga hissed into my ear sending shivers down my spin.

I averted my gaze and watched their feet shuffle about as they planned how to find him.

"I'll find him." I say sternly and I push into the crowd. I activate one of Mint's handy devices and turn into myself as a child.

I haven't seen Kai yet so I think I might try something new. I took out a trading card and made it change into a picture of Kai.

"Mint you are good." I say softly, my voice sounding squeaky like a child's.

I did my best to look lost as I slowly walked up to a man that looked like he had kids of his own.

"s'cuse me, mister." I said tugging on his jacket.

"Yes?" He asked with a warm smile gracing his lips.

"My brother's gone, I'm lost!" I start rubbing my eyes and sniffing, pretending to feel abandoned, which was pretty close to how I actually was feeling.

The man noticed the picture in my hand and took it. He examined the photo then looked over at me.

"Is this your brother?" He asked skeptically.

"Have you seen him?" I asked pretending to recover slightly.

I really don't blame him for being skeptical; I probably should have gone with something that looked more like him.

"Sorry, kid I haven't seen him." He said softly and handed back the picture and produced a notebook. "But I can help you look for a little bit." He said and quickly sketched up Kai.

"Thanks mister!" I shouted gleefully and we began to ask people if they'd seen Kai.

With Shaga and Shivo as they tried their plan
Shaga slowly maneuvered through the crowd, scanning them as she went. She frowned and stopped behind a bench. She sighed softly and noticed that the teen at the opposite side was reading a book. She slowly walked up and stood over one shoulder and began reading over his shoulder.

The raven-haired teen shifted and put his shoulder between her and his book.

"Hey!" Shaga snapped, slightly shocked.

"It's my book." The teen snapped back, his voice bordering on monotonous.

Shaga pouted and crossed her arms sneering slightly. Shivo then stole up, standing in front of the teen.

"Have you seen this kid?" He asked holding out the picture.

"No." He replied without looking up.

"You didn't even look at picture!" Shivo growled and he and the teen suddenly dove right into a fight of cutting words and deathly glares.

Shaga sighed and scanned the crowd again. She grabbed Shivo by the shirt collar and drug him off, the two meshing into the crowd.

"Don't worry, sis, we'll find him." Shivo said confidently.

"Yeah…" She said, not totally convinced but still not quite ready to throw in the towel.

Back with Ray; Ray's POV
"I'm sorry kid, I have to go." The man said to me. " I hope you find…your brother." He said apologetically.

"Thanks fer helping mister!" I shouted and waved bye.

I was tired and dishearten that nobody have seen Kai. I flopped onto a bench and transformed back into my usual self. I studied the fake photo, my heart sinking further.

Suddenly I noticed there was another person on the bench. The raven-haired teen opposite of me was staring disbelievingly at me.

I could see why he looked remarkably similar to me. Just those cold gray eyes of his that unnerved me. I noticed the book in his lap; he had marked his spot with his finger so he could stare at me.

"…Ray…?" He said lowly.

"H-how?" I stammered as I slid closer, trying to figure out where'd I could have possibly seen him at.

The teen suddenly shifted into Kai, his eyes falling back to the book on his lap. I scooted beside him, trying to read the cover of the book.

"Russian." I grumbled miserably.

Kai nodded and reclined back, his head tilted back so far he was look at the store behind us.

"Kai…" He straitened slightly, crossing his arms. "Thank you, for saving me back there." I said softly, feeling a slight blush rush onto my cheeks.

I turned away and stood up suddenly surprised by the tremble of my heart. No way could this be happening! Not to me!

"Ray…?" He started then suddenly a blur of movement caught my attention.

I spun around to see Shaga clinging onto Kai and Shivo panting as if he was tired from trying to keep pace with Shaga. I chuckled slightly as looked at them.

Kai seemed perfectly miserably, his eyes locked to mine silently saying 'laugh and die'. Whilst Shaga chirped happily as she rapidly retold her efforts to find him all the while Shivo corrected her, keeping her from taking all the good ideas he came up with. And I sat back on the bench, chuckling softly to myself, secretly wishing that I was the one Kai favored, even though I still felt a pang of guilt tug at my heart.

After we'd stop laughing and our regular attitude had taken over, Shivo suddenly announced to us that he'd pay for a hotel for us.

"I'll bet that a handful of refugees can't afford a nice hotel. So you pick a hotel and pay." He said smiling widely.

Shaga jumped on him hugging him tightly. She seemed completely oblivious to the fact that he hadn't won Kai's trust let alone mine. He was a real creep.

Shaga took Shivo by the hand and pulled him away, waving for Kai and I follow after them.

They began to search for Shaga's hotel, which gave me time to do some shadow analysis of Shivo. There was just something I couldn't put my finger on about him.

"There!" Shaga shouted, pointing to the tallest building in the sector. We could see people in swimsuits running around the top most level and we could see plenty of people milling around the lobby. This very well might be a good place to hide out for a little bit.

"Sure." Shivo said and followed Shaga into the lobby with Kai right after him, his crimson eyes glaring daggers at his back.

Dun dun duh! What happens now!? Stay tuned for the next awesome chapter! Things really start to get a new twist on things as I introduce my first real and purposeful plot twist! But I have one question for all my dedicated reviewers… I can't recall if I mentioned where in the world this fict is taking place… So if you know right off hand where its at cuz I mentioned it I'd like it if you told me, cuz I think I might end up teleporting these people to a new country in later chapters…

And to the response to my reviewers!-

A Friend For Life And Beyond: Thanks I hope you enjoyed this chapter too! But, yeah, Mint may make a grand return a few chapters from to invent a teleporter...

Amanita Virosa-Amaranthus: You pretty much have Shivo nailed, except he never wears a business suit jacket, but he wouldn't mind a tie. And of course Kai's fine! He's Kai! Nobody can hurt him! ('cept me...)

Kavbj: I'm glad you liked it, I've had to edit that chapter a lot. I just didn't feel right until I made Kai tougher. But I'm glad that you like my OC's, two them at least, so thank you fer comments and I hopre you enjoyed the fict!
