Hey people two chapters written in one day, sorry if they suck but hey at least its quick and relatively painless!!

I do not own beyblade in any way shape or form if I did there would be a new series with new episodes on TV.

It was two years since her mother had died and Hilary was still trying to get used to living full time with Grandpa, Tyson and the guys. The Blade Breakers were all working hard training for their next tournament, this year it had been decided that they should enter at an adult level Max was slightly too young but there are some advantages to having family in the industry and strings were pulled. Daichi however was far to young and so would still be competing at a younger level, he and Grandpa were off visiting Tyson's father who was exploring some far off place she couldn't pronounce (can't be bothered to make one up!), Tyson hadn't gone preferring to train now that the team had left behind the "kids stuff" as he put it, their training was more intense than ever. Her staying with them had been arranged easily by Mr Dickinson who had friends with social services, sometimes the life was good! She was 18 years old and best friends with some of the most famous professional bladers on the planet, she was also working part time as Mr Dickinson's assistant, she was training to work in the BBA and hoped to make a career in Media Management. Add to that the fact that she was not too bad looking, if she did say so herself, she normally wore a short skirt and smart shirt for work (this outfit really helped when she was asking the guys in the copy room for help!) but on her days off she usually wore blue jeans and a top with strap sleeves. She was happy most days, but at others she missed the peace she used to get going home, Daichi may be away, but Tyson seemed to get louder now he was gone. The loss of her mother had been hard and as she had never gotten along with her mothers fiancé she was glad to have been placed somewhere familiar. Hilary sighed hard, she missed her mother, a lump came to her throat and she struggled to keep back the tears

"Everything OK?"

"Kai!" Hilary jumped he had moved behind her so quietly that she hadn't even noticed him. Kai like the rest of the beybladers hadn't changed much to look at,

(they all still wear pretty much the same outfits, and have the same hairstyles, hey it saves me having to describe them all)

he was still too attractive for his own good and more toned than ever. The only way Kai had changed over the years was in how he acted, he was still cold and kind of tactless usually, but at times he would often smile and joke with the others. He also seemed to understand Hilary's loss and although he never told her his past she felt closer to him than any of the others. He would also hold actual conversations with her, it bugged her slightly that if anyone else joined them he would clam up, but after she realised that it was because he was unwilling to talk to anyone else and not that he was ashamed of being seen talking to her she accepted it

"I'm fine" she tried to look cheerful but found that her eyes were betraying her tears fell fast.

"You look it" Kai saw that the remark had not been taken well and a hard look crossed her features, he decided on a safer subject "Tyson driving you crazy?"

"Just a bit"

"I find that sometimes pretending not to hear him drives him crazy"

"Doesn't shut him up though does it?"

"I didn't realise you were still unaware of the fact that nothing shuts Tyson up!" Hilary gave a watery giggle . He was about to say something else when they heard an shout come from inside Tyson's Dojo. Kai leapt to his feet quickly followed by Hilary, once inside Hilary looked to where Ray stood by the TV surrounded by the others.

"What's happened?" Kai demanded they moved away from the screen and Hilary watched as a reporter stood in a landscape that looked like Rays hometown.

"We are sorry to report that the attack on white tiger x team has left them with a player missing" a picture flashed on the screen and Hilary gasped as she recognised Mariah's smiling face "Mariah was taken last night, if any one has any information as to her whereabouts please inform your local authorities." Ray slumped down in front of the screen

"Mariah" his shoulders began to shake and acting on instinct as usual Hilary knelt and wrapped her arms around him.

The reporter continued "This is the third attack an a professional beyblading team, that has resulted in the disappearance of a team member." Two more pictures flashed up on screen beside Mariah Hilary recognised them, Rick from the PPB All Starz an old blading partner of Max's and Tyson's elder brother Hiro, the reporter continued "The disappearances are believed to have something to do with the escape of Boris Balkov who was being held in a maximum security facility for the criminally insane."

Hilary was shocked why hadn't anyone called them to say what was going on. She looked up at Kai he had a hard expression on his face and in his eyes you could see anger boiling over. The news changed and a weather report flashed on the screen, ironically promising sunny weather.

"WHEN THE HELL DID BORIS ESCAPE?" Kai wasn't even trying to be calm as they all stood or sat in Mr Dickinson's office. His eyes were blazing and his voice could be heard two floors down. Hilary and Kenny both watched as he stormed around the office they had never seen him this angry, they had never seen anyone that angry. Mr Dickinson tried to calm him down, but nothing seemed to work.

"Kai I know your angry"

"ANGRY, let me tell you something this isn't even the beginning of anger, this is just me getting ready for angry" Kai picked up a chair he was about to fling it across the room when he felt a small hand grab his arm and roughly pull at him.

"Don't you dare throw that." Hilary looked at him her eyes flashing her voice matching his for anger, he was so surprised by this that he was startled into replacing the chair. "how dare you think your anger is more important, look at the others"

She pointed to where, Tyson sat dejectedly in a chair, his face so unlike its usual carefree expression, Max didn't seem able to stand, the smile that usually illuminated his face was gone. Ray stood by the window looking out tears falling down his face. Kai looked at his team they seemed unable to cope with the loss they each faced and he knew that Hilary was right He was angry because of Boris but God knew what he was doing to the three people in his power. He sat down on the chair he had threatened to throw and listened.

"I only found out a few hours ago that Mariah from the White Tiger X team disappeared, it was then that I was informed of Boris' disappearance, I was going to come tell you when I got Max's call" Mr Dickinson looked devastated "I wish I knew more"

"Do the police have no leads?" Hilary looked up at him hopefully

"No, they are trying to trace his money movements but he has been very clever."

"What can we do?" Kai tried to keep his voice at its usual level but it was louder than usual.

"I want you kids to stay in a safe place all together until this has blown over"

"We're staying at mine" Tyson looked up at Mr Dickinson determinedly

"It's not safe" Mr Dickinson argued.

"That's as maybe but look Mr Dickinson all those people who disappeared are connected to us in someway, if Boris wants to get in touch he needs to know where he can find us" Mr Dickinson looked around as the others all nodded in agreement, he was unsure of how safe it would be to leave them where they were but as he watched Ray Tyson and Max walk out he realised that suggesting taking them somewhere else was pointless, even so as they got to the door he tried to call them back.

"Kids…"

"I'll stand watch" Kai looked at the man seemingly reading his thoughts,

"I just don't want you kids to be next,"

"Like I said I'll stand watch." Kai walked out followed by a sombre Kenny and Hilary.

"Mr Dickenson?" Hilary stopped in the doorway

"Yes my dear?"

"I think I better take the day off tomorrow, stay with them" Hilary shrugged her shoulders, Mr Dickenson smiled at the young girl nodding

"I'll tell Amy not to expect you in until all this is cleared up."

"Thanks Mr D!" she flashed him a quick smile before following the other, Mr Dickenson sat down behind his desk sighing heavily

"I wonder, Hiro was taken because of Tyson Rick because of Max Mariah for Ray, who will they take to make Kai obey them?"

Ok so that wasn't too bad, was it?

Ok so maybe you can guess some of what's coming next but I apologise for that I already told you it would be Kai Hil looks like its going to be Ray Mariah too!

Kai seems a little out of character but hey this is set years after the last series so he could have changed, Right… right?

Any way you know the drill R&R
