Chapter 4.

Not long after Kimmy talked to the other Thugs, did Star and her two rookies come in. Star looked over and saw Kimmy and stopped. The look on her face was of confusion and somewhat no emotion. Her eyes only told what she was thinking and feeling.

"Hi Kimmy." She said is a low voice.

"Hi."

They didn't make eye contact; instead they looked at the floor trying to get the feeling of being watched away. The others could feel the tension in the room build.

"Where have you been all those years?"

"In Spain, training to become better."

Star picked up the things she didn't know that she dropped while entering and left the warehouse.

"What's the matter with Star?"

"Hold on a minute. The graduates please take the rookies to the other side of the building and help them train." Said Ian.

He turned back around and looked at Kimmy.

"You know when we all were back at Biovolt Abbey and Voltaire had control of us, including Boris?" Kimmy nodded her head. "Well when Star was about 8 years old, she started to sneak out and go places. No one knew where she went since she avoided all cameras in the halls and doorways. When she got older she became very isolated remember?"

"All I remember was how tired she looked and she never ate when it was time. She only drank one sip of water or juice and that was it."

"Well we kept asking her where she was going but the only answer was a death glare. Later on Spark followed her out of the building and into a forest area that had a little house. She didn't come back that night, but Spark did. When Boris couldn't find her he got scared since he was losing someone he said was the 'best of two teams'. After she showed up all hell broke lose and she was never the same again."

"I remember when she came back she was beaten so bad that she couldn't really walk or do anything. She looked almost dead."

(With Star)

'Why does my past have to come back to me in all the wrong times? First it's Kai, then now it's Kimmy. I'm getting so confused at what my goal is.'

Star looked up from her tree limb at the sunset in the distance. She took a deep breath smelling the sweet flower she held in her hand and sighed thinking of whatever memory she had left.

'I'm just wondering what went on before Biovolt Abbey and the whole Boris thing? Why can't I remember some memories?'

(At the warehouse)

"Why didn't she ever talk to us about it?" asked Kimmy getting a little worried.

"She didn't want all of us to get involved with such a thing when she said it was her problem.

Star I think is used to doing things on her own without help from people. I asked her why she didn't like to be around people and all she said was, 'I don't want you or anyone I'm around to get hurt.'"

"But that makes no sense. Everyone gets hurt one way or another. Why is hers any different?"

"Because all she remembers is the bad memories and nothing else. She hates it when someone she cares about gets involved with her business. But The Thugs never seem to get on her. I'm thinking she only does this so that the children don't have to go to foster homes and so they won't get caught up in Boris's hands."

"Also you have to remember that we never had a real childhood of fun and games with our beyblades. She is giving them a chance in that now." Said Rikku as everyone turned to face her.

They all nodded in agreement. When they finished talking it was already past 10pm and they hadn't heard a word from Star.

"I need to go and see if Star is back at the hotel. Kimmy don't worry she will come around in her own time, and that should hopefully be soon."

They all walked out of the warehouse and to the hotel where Kimmy was staying.

"Good night Kimmy." They all said.

"Night guys."

When the four got back to their hotel suites no one was there. Ian and Spark stayed with the girls until midnight and still Star didn't return. Ian started to get worried and was about to walk out the door when Star opened it.

"Where have you been?" yelled Ian and Spark.

Star just passed them and headed straight to her room and slammed the door.

"I take it that she isn't in a good mood?" asked Kay.

"I'll go talk to her. Maybe I can get something out of her." Said Rikku.

Rikku knocked on the door but got no answer.

"Star are you in there?"

There was no answer and Rikku was getting a little worried with her now sudden attitude change.

"Star please answer me. Are you alright?"

When there was no answer, Rikku opened the door and found Star nowhere and her window opened. Rikku ran to the window and saw a figure running in the streets with someone jogging after her. Rikku continued to look out the window and turned when she saw Spark coming in.

"Were is she?"

"She jumped out the window and is running off. Do you think it's a good idea that we go after her?"

"No. What I think is that she wasn't expecting us to be up and wanted to be alone and not bothered with questions. Let's wait until tomorrow and see what she does."

They both walked out of her room and to their own rooms.

(With Star)

As Star ran down the sidewalk she could tell someone was following her in the distance. She continued to gain speed but always kept a sharp ear out for how ever was around her. When she saw an alleyway she stepped in and hid in the dark part that didn't have the street light shining. The person's footsteps stopped and she could see the out line of the person. What she could tell was the person definitely was a boy probably in his teenage years. From the out line she could tell it was someone she knew. The boy walked passed the alley and kept going until,

"What are you doing following me?" Star yelled.

The boy whipped around, and Star saw who it was.

"Kai?"

He stepped up to her and until they were very close.

"What are you doing here? Why are you…?"

She was cut short by a sudden kiss from Kai. At first she was tense but she softened. Kai quickly pulled away and looked as surprised as Star.

"What was that for?"

"I don't know. I guess I was meaning to do that for a long time. I'm sorry I didn't mean to follow you or anything."

Star just nodded and continued to look at Kai. They continued to look at each other until Star walked up and grabbed Kai's waist and hugged him the softest she could. He returned the hug and they stayed like that until a chilly breeze blew bring them to their senses.

"So there's the old Star huh?"

Star looked up into Kai's eyes and nodded. They stayed out until the sun rose and the birds were singing. To Star that was a truly great way to end a night of surprises, yet it opened a new world of surprises ahead. Kai and Star stopped by the hotel and before walking in, Star turned and said,

"I need to go do something. If my team asks just tell them to go to the usual spot. They'll know where that is."

Kai just looked at her with confusion and nodded.

Star ran down the sidewalk and all the way to Kimmy's hotel, which was odd that she was never around to see if it was hers. She went up to the clerk and asked if Kimmy left. Before she could answer Kimmy was coming down the hall and stopped.

"Kimmy I'm sorry for acting the way I did yesterday, but would you like to go training with my team?"

"Sure." Kimmy had a small smile and they ran off to the warehouse to begin.

Tell me what you all think PLEASE. Hoped you enjoy.
