Kai 's P.O.V

At the Hiwatari Enterprises

I cant believe that idiot. He came all the way here just to convince me for the reunion? Hn…I don't care about anything.

And I cant believe that Tala. He actually gave away my location when I sternly told him not to. I will take care of that little traitor later.

I just hope Tyson has enough money to last the night here! I gotta admit he is pretty gutsy though! I wonder how he is gonna convince that receptionist to reserve a room. That lady at the "ritz carlton" is one tough cookie!

(taking his dranzer beyblade that Tyson gave him earlier at hand and looking at the empty bit chip)

Hmm. I can never forget what you did to me dranzer. You betrayed me! You promised that you would stay with me forever. You were my only family! How I would do anything to get you back!

(a tear escapes his eye and makes its way down his cheeks)

Tyson 's P.O.V

(inside a cab)

Stupid ray and his stupid "flirt and wink at a cute girl to convince her" idea! It always worked for him. Why not for me! Ah….i don't care! That lady wasn't my type either.

Now let me call ray and give him a nice hearing from me! No wait…I totally forgot…I don't have enough call balance either…..i hate Russia . I hate hot dogs. I hate that stupid receptionist lady. I hate myself for my worthlessness and most of all I hate Kai…damn that guy! Acting all cocky and cold on me! He didn't even lend me a helping hand!

Once I see him again I am gonna turn him into minced meat and eat him up for lunch!..hnnn hnnn. Who am I kidding? Before I can do that he will eat me up for having turned up in his house. Why is my life getting all complicated and miserable?

Normal P.O.V

Outside Kai's mansion….

Tyson was amazed out of his wits once he took a look of Kai's house…no no …scratch that! Kai's palace! It was godly majestic and spectacular from the outside.

Tyson : unbelievable that kai! he is staying alone and he had to build himself a palace for a house! And I thought Tala's house was fancy! His was nowhere near what I have in front of me!

Tyson was already at his limits and was completely exhausted. He literally dragged himself forward and rang the doorbell!

A tall and well built gentleman in a suit greeted him.

Tyson : Is kai home?

: no …master Kai still hasn't come home yet. May I know who this is?

Tyson : ummm I am Tyson and I am Kai's friend and ex teammate.

: oh so you are mr. Tyson granger aren't you? You are the beyblading world champion. I am William and I am master Kai's butler. Please come in master granger.

With that Tyson welcomed himself in and enjoyed william's hospitality. He also wondered in the process how a nice and soft person like William can handle a grouch like kai. just a few minutes later into his coming William offered tea and snacks. Tyson refreshed himself with those. After a while William caught hold of Tyson 's hunger alarm. So he made Tyson some sandwiches to quench his hunger.

Tyson : thanks so much William. I would have passed out anytime if it weren't for you.

William : it was my pleasure master granger. May I know the purpose of your visit?

Tyson : I want to talk to kai about some important matters.. and if you don't mind can I stay here for the night!i am totally broke. I promise I wont cause you or kai any trouble while I am here!

William : hmmm. Alright! Considering you are master kai's close friend, I think I can let you stay. Don't worry about him I will handle him as soon as he gets here!

Tyson thanked him a million times. William showed him his room that is usually kept for guests!

He felt cosy and comfortable inside his room while he got a call from Kenny .

Kenny : whats up with you? I thought I told you to call me back once you set foot in Moscow! I was worried sick about you!

Tyson : chief ! just chill! You would not believe if I told you where I am right now!

Kenny : eh? Really? Where are you then?

Tyson : in kai's house! I am staying the night here!

Kenny : what ? what about Ritz Carlton?

Tyson : well(scratching his head) it's a long story!

Kenny : let me guess ….you are broke aren't you?

Tyson laughed a sheepish laughter and continued with his conversation for a while with Kenny. Then he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye someone standing at the doorstep of his room.. he hung up and promised to call Kenny later!

It was kai and he was fuming with anger!

Kai : you! How dare you! William !

Tyson : hey stop with all the yelling would ya?

Kai : how did William let you in?

Just then William came over while kai continued with his yelling.

William : I do understand but master granger was broke and so I thought letting him stay only one night here wouldn't hurt!

Kai : and you did all this without asking permission from me first! And you! You told me you would get a room in a hotel by any way possible!

Tyson : its not my fault the receptionist is one tough nut to crack! And besides didn't you hear what William said? I am broke and I need to survive till tomorrow night! Please kai…just one night..

Kai (defeatedly raising his hands up) I give up! Things are already out of my hands! And you better get your skinny butt out of here by the crack of dawn, you hear me! And you William , I deal with you later!

Both William and Tyson gulped. Just when kai was out of their sight…

William : don't worry ! his temper is only momentary! He will calm down in no time! Ever since his grandfather betrayed him master kai has been seeking solace only with me! I am practically a father figure to him! And as for you master granger, please feel yourself at home. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to call me!

Tyson thanked him again and went inside his bedroom for a nice long sleep.

At 2 a.m, something woke Tyson up from his sleep. It was the darkness. He never quite slept in still darkness his entire life! At his house everyone used to yell at him for putting bright night lights before going to sleep! He couldn't catch his sleep after that and there were no night lights in his room! All shadows at night that he saw through the window seemed like the demons extending their claws to dig in on Tyson . he was shivering out of fear and was scared like hell. So he did what he could do at that moment.

He went upstairs for a midnight rendezvous with kai. he knocked at his door and called out for him but he guessed Kai would be sound asleep by that time! He tried yanking the door open and to his luck it was unlocked.

Tyson : man ! there is no spare couch In here to sleep! That stingy loafer! Well. I guess I have to make myself comfortable beside him! I just hope I wake up even earlier than kai does!

Just then kai flipped over in his sleep and gave Tyson some extra space to lie down beside him!

Tyson : what luck! I thought I would have to wake him up and tell him to scoot over. Hmmm…he looks so peaceful when he is asleep! A totally different person! To think he can become so vicious when he is awake! Hmm..i am tired. Lets see if I can catch some z's tonight!

And with that Tyson was successful in catching some well deserved sleep beside his friend!
