Hey! Here's the next chapter!

Disclaimer: Don't own Beyblade, except the Cobra Blades and my new character coming in this chapter! He's a surprise!

S-S-S-S-S-S-S

Kai led the group down the street from the BBA tournament building. Tyson complained the whole way about why they had to start training so early after the tournament and before dinner.

Ray kept a golden eye on Kai's silent face. He flinched as he saw the mix of emotions plastered on the pale face. Anger, sadness, and was that. . . It was! Fear! Kai was afraid! Ray started to sweat. If this team can make the hard, no emotion, anti-social Kai become afraid, then they must be bad.

"Kai? Why do we have to start so early? Why can't we wait until tomorrow or the next day?" Tyson complained for the hundredth time. As usual, he was sagging at the back of the line.

Kai stopped, turned around, and glared at Tyson strait in the eyes.

"Because if you want a really good chance at beating the Cobra Blades, then you need to start now. Trust me. You'll thank me for this later." Kai wheeled back on his heels and started walking.

Tyson groaned. "I don't think I will, Kai."

S-S-S Back with Kenney S-S-S

Kenney ran down the hallway at top speed. He had to find Kai and tell him that everyone he asked for was in town, and they would be there in about an hour.

'Man, where did they go? They couldn't have gone far,' Kenney thought as he reached through the streets and dodged two people carrying a huge painting.

"Sorry!' he called over his shoulder.

The men just looked on as the young teen ran away.

"What's he in a hurry for?" one asked.

"Don't know," said the other.

'There they are!' he thought frantically as he saw Kai turning away from Tyson and started walking.

"Kai!" he called getting the stotic blader's attention.

"Yo, Chief! What's up?" Tyson asked worriedly as he saw Kenney's flushed face.

"Yeah, Kenney. You look like you just ran a marathon or something," Hillary said stepping beside the young teen as he leaned over gasping for air.

"Well?" Kai asked tapping his foot impatiently.

"Chill, Kai. Let him take a breather!" Tyson said stepping into Kai's view and looking at the captain strait in the eyes. Angry navy met with angry crimson.

"It's OK, Tyson. Kai, I called everyone like you asked, and they said they were all in the neighborhood, and they would be at the ally in about an hour. Whew! That was a mouthful!"

"They. . . were all in the neighborhood?" Kai didn't seem convinced that everyone he asked for was really that near.

Kenney nodded. "Why?"

Kai shook his head. He would know why later. "No reason. Now, if we can please keep going? I'd like for us to get there before we sundown." Kai turned around and walked briskly down the street.

"Why is he in such a rush to get started with training?" Tyson mumbled.

S-S-S At the Alley S-S-S

"Why are we here in this rat hole?" Tyson asked and flinched as a big black rat ran along their path. Hillary squealed and grabbed Tyson's arm.

"I hate rats!" she squealed as he looked at her confused.

Kai sighed and sat down on a forgotten crate. He was tired and worn out. He really didn't want to start the training today, but street-blading wasn't second nature to Tyson, Max, Ray, and Zeo, and they needed it to be if they were ever going to win.

"Kai? You OK?" Ray asked sitting beside the sweating teen.

"Yeah. I'm fine, Ray," came the quiet answer as Kai looked at the raven- haired teen and smiled slightly.

"Well, that's good. At least you can tell us why we're here," a voice said in the shadows. Five tall teens came out and stood in front of the Blade Breakers. Three looked like English from their expensive-looking garments. The fifth stood awkwardly beside the other four.

"It's Robert, Enrique, Johnny, and Oliver!" Tyson exclaimed running over to the three rich-looking teens.

Kai got up off the crate and walked over to the fourth teen that stood in the back, ignoring the "Hi's" and "How are you's" coming from the other teens.

"Who's he?" Tyson whispered to Robert.

"I don't know. He hasn't spoken a word since we got here," the purple- haired teen said quietly.

Kai stopped in front of the quiet boy. He wore a light blue t-shirt that had one slit on each one of the sleeves, baggy blue-jeans, a black belt, and a white cloth headband that held back his slate-blue hair, letting a few bangs hang over his face. He also wore the same blue triangles Kai had, only three sat on one side while another sat on the left. The triangles seemed to mix in with his icy blue eyes. He looked so much like the stotic blader before him.

"Hey, Kai," the boy's soft voice said roaming to the other bladers's ears.

Everyone gasped. How did he know Kai?

The quiet boy smiled as Kai came closer.

"Hey, Derrick," Kai said quietly. Letting his defenses fall, Kai came up to the teen and put his arms around the boy tightly, squeezing him in an embracing hug.

The boy returned the hug, rubbing his cheek against Kai's neck as tears formed in his eyes.

The others just stood watching the two with wide eyes. They had never seen Kai hug another person.

"What the heck is going on?!" Tyson exclaimed breaking the silence.

Kai and the slate-haired teen, Derrick, broke apart and looked at Tyson.

"What are you talking about, Tyson?" Kai asked calmer than earlier. It was like he didn't know what was going on.

"Uhh. . . Isn't it obvious, Kai?" Ray said awkwardly, scratching his chin in confusion.

Suddenly, Kai realized that he had let his defenses fall when he saw Derrick's face. He immediately started to put his defenses back up when he felt a light hand on his shoulder. Derrick came up beside him and smiled.

"It's alright, Kai," he said in Russian, talking to Kai only. He smiled again, his icy blue eyes sparkling like diamonds. Kai got so lost in those eyes; he immediately relaxed.

The Blade Breakers stiffened as they saw Kai visibly relax. They had never known Kai to relax fully, like he was now. It was getting a little creepy.

"So, Kai," Enrique started. "Who's your friend?"

Everyone nodded, wanting to know who this stranger was.

It took Kai a minute to regain his composure. He looked at his friends. They needed to know.

"This is Derrick. He's . . . uh . . . my . . . brother," Kai said glancing down at the ground before he saw his friends's reactions. He looked up and flinched as he saw the open mouths and wide eyes of his fellow team members. The Majestics didn't look as surprised. Probably because they didn't know him as well as the others. "Uhh . . . Guys?" he said quietly, hoping they would snap out of it soon.

"He's your WHAT?!" Tyson out-bursted breaking the silence.

Kai was about to repeat what he said, when Derrick spoke up.

"I'm Kai's brother. You must be Tyson, right? And Max, Ray, Kenney, Hillary, and Zeo. Am I correct?" He smiled.

"Uh. . . Yeah," Kenney said breaking out of the shock he was in. "But how did you know?"

"Oh. Kai's told me a lot about you guys in the letters I get. He also sends pictures," he added the last part before Tyson could ask another question. Kai had definately told him about Tyson's continuous questions.

Kenney stood in utter shock as Derrick said that. Kai wrote about them? What did he write? He sent pictures without telling them? What did he send?

"Wow. I'm surprised. I thought Kai didn't like us. I also thought he was embarassed to even talk about us! It's amazing!" Tyson exclaimed sarcastically.

"Watch it, Tyson," Kai threatened, giving the navy-haired teen a disturbing glare.

Tyson sweat-dropped and slowly backed away a little before Kai could do some serious damage.

"Calm down, Kai," Ray said. They didn't need a fight right now.

Kai didn't seem to hear him as he started to make his way over to the shaking blader. A light hand on his shoulder made him stop.

"Come on, Kai. He was just playing around. We don't need a fight right now. Unless it involves training with beyblades. Now calm down," Derrick said.

Kai looked at the younger teen beside him, the bright blues washing over him. He nodded.

Ray stood in shock. This Derrick seemed to have a big effect on Kai. No matter what they say or do, Kai ignores them, but he imediately calms down when Derrick says it the first time. What was going on?

"So, you listen to Derrick but not to us, Kai?" Tyson said crossing his arms as he looked at the shocked face of his Chinese freind. He was getting annoyed.

Kai was about to say something that would scare Tyson out of his socks, when his brother stepped in.

"Watch it, Tyson," he said warningly.

Tyson sweat-dropped as he looked into the warning eyes.

"Now, lets get started with the explination. I think the Majestics would like one," Derrick said plainly and walked over to the crate Kai was sitting on earlier. He smiled at Kai's confused look. 'I guess Kai wasn't expecting all of this,' he thought to himself.

"Yes. We would like an explination," Robert said crossing his arms.

Kai sighed and looked at the beybladers before him. They did need to know.
