Hikaru sat across from Madoka. The two of them were sitting in a small café in the city; both were currently waiting for the orders. Madoka sat quietly watching the people walk by through the window. Hikaru on the other hand sat tapping her foot in an act of impatience; she wanted her food to be brought quickly being that her stomach rumbled over couple of minutes. "So…" Hikaru broke the silence and Madoka turned her attention to her friend, answering her with a slight hum. "How's everything with Ginga?"

"Everything's fine, we're still friends if that's what you mean." Madoka had a slight bored, almost sad, expression in her eyes. "I think he's still upset about what happened though." Hikaru asked another question that went unheard to Madoka, who had dived into her thoughts of Ginga.

Hikaru leaned closer to her friend to wave a hand in front of her face. "Hello? Did you even hear me?"

"What was that?" Madoka asked embarrassed. Leaning back in her seat Hikaru sighed.

"I asked if you liked Ginga, as like him." Hikaru emphasized the second like.

"I don't know…" Madoka half mumbled. "Were friend and all, but I don't think I feel that way about him. At first I might have had a small crush on him, but now that I've…"

"Now that you've met and grown closer to Kyoya you've fallen for him." Hikaru finished for her.

"I…" Madoka blushed, unsure of what to say. She was confused. She had had feeling for the Pegasus blader, but something in the back of her mind told her otherwise. "How are you and Tsubasa?" She changed the subject. Hikaru's eyes narrowed slightly, she knew her friend was avoided this conversation purposely, and she wasn't going to give up that easy.

"We're fine. We go out a lot and were never bored when we're with each other." Hikaru smiled as the waiter brought their breakfast to their table. They both thanked him and began to dig into their food.

"Well I'm happy for you! You guys seem great for each other." Madoka smiled before taking a bite of her eggs.

"Anyways, no news on Kyoya?" Madoka looked down. She wished the topic of Kyoya would just disappear forever; she was already upset as it is. "No, but Nile told me not to worry about it and just wait for him to come back on his own. After all, he's probably just training or something."

Hikaru poked at her breakfast. "What if he doesn't come back and just stays wherever he is?"

Madoka's eyes widened at the sudden question, "Then I'll find him myself!" Madoka declared. Hikaru smirked as she continued to eat her breakfast. Yeah, this girl defiantly has a thing for Kyoya; I tell by the way she talks about him, the look in her eyes… "By the way, here's the rest of your pay." Madoka pulled an envelope from her bag and handed it to Hikaru. "Thanks again for helping me out while my dad was gone."

"It's no big deal." Hikaru pulled a few bills from the envelope before handing it back to her friend. "Keep the rest, this is all I need. Hikaru got up, "I have to get going now. I have to meet Ginga and Tsubasa before they leave."

"Where are they going?"

"I would've thought that Ginga said something to you by now." Hikaru leaned on the back of her chair. "They're heading to Koma village, where Ginga grew up. There's supposedly a threat on the safety of a bey there. You've heard of L-Drago right? It's a legendary bey or something, It's kept there. I don't know all the details yet, but I'll be going with them. They just don't know it yet."

"I'll go with you!" Madoka smiled as she got up.

"No offence or anything Madoka, but I think it's better if you stay here." Hikaru noticed Madoka' Expression drop. "It's just that these guys could be dangerous and I don't want you to be caught up in it."

"But I-"

"Besides you have work to do here!" Hikaru gave her cheery smile. "I'm sure you dad wants to spend some time with you since he's just gotten back." Hikaru gave one last smile before leaving Madoka to finish her breakfast alone.

"That was nothing." Kyoya caught his Leone and turned to Doji, who stood in the doorway of the large room. Kyoya had a rather annoyed facial expression. "Listen. I've been here for almost two weeks and all you've had me do is battle these weaklings. What is all this for?"

"Be patient Kyoya, you will know soon enough." Doji looked down at the papers he held. "As for now I want you to go back to you room and rest, you have a big day tomorrow."

"What are you talking about?" Kyoya walked up to the man, stopping next to him and giving him a questioning glare.

"You will filled in on the details later on tonight. For now just rest, I need you in your best condition tomorrow your task won't be easy." With a small chuckle Doji turned and began walking down the hall, stopping before turning the corner. "By the way. If you complete your mission then I'll let you see the girl." Doji then disappeared around the corner.

Doji walked swiftly down the halls and towards his office where he knew the boy he was looking for would be waiting. It was time to move on with his plan and to do that he needed Madoka to ensure that Kyoya will continue to go along. This needed happen tonight. Opening his door he looked at the redhead who sat his desk and messing around with the small potted cactus. He was trying to see how many papers he could slip onto its needles. "Reiji those are important reports." Reiji ignored him until the door was slammed, causing the serpent blader to jerk his hand away after poking himself with it. Reiji gave a slight glare towards him. "Now that I've got your attention. You remember what we talked about the other day right?" Reiji noded. "Good because you're leaving now to go find her."

"Understood. Just, why me and not Ryuga? He is your strongest " Reiji spoke up quietly, he didn't sound pleased about added that Ryuga was the Dark Nebula's strongest.

"Ryuga maybe strong, but he doesn't have the legendary bey yet. Besides I trust that you'll get the job done." Reiji noded and got up, beginning to leave. "By the way Reiji. If I find that you hurt her I'll make sure you pay the consequences. I promised Kyoya she is unharmed." Reiji noded again before leaving.

Meanwhile Kyoya did as he was told and went back to his room. Leone was taken to be repaired die to the endless battling he had been doing. And he was filled in on what he would be facing tomorrow. The idea made him uneasy as he sat on the bed thinking it over. Go to Koma village and help this Ryuga guy retrieve some legendary bey? Why? Kyoya sighed. He had no idea who this Ryuga was, but Doji liked to brag of his strength. It aggravated Kyoya, knowing that there was a blader he possibly couldn't beat. Then again...he always lost to Ginga. Before his day at the beach with Madoka he had challenged Ginga often, but always lost.

I guess you could say that was one of few reasons he was complying with Doji's Wishes. He was promised that he would get stronger and Kyoya knew he was, after all he didn't climb Wolf Canyon for no reason. And of course there was the possibility that Madoka really was here. Kyoya ignored the voice in the back of his mind telling him otherwise. And besides Madoka being here or not and his want to get stronger, there was another reason Kyoya was hesitant to leave.

He wasn't sure if he was ready to face Madoka again. He had been so mean to her. He was afraid of what she might say to him. maybe she would ignore me and refuse to accept my apology… Kyoya's face grew warmer. He was glad nobody was around to see him actually worried and upset about it.

After Madoka payed for her and Hikaru's breakfast she spent the rest of her day at the B-Pit working on repairs for Nile. Then once she finished she headed out to find him at the docks. Now the both of them were currently walking back to the shop. "Madoka?" Nile spoke up.

"Yeah?"

"How come you and Kyoya got so close so quickly?" Madoka was caught of guard with the sudden question. Nile noticed and went into further explanation. "It's just that you guys became such great friends in such a short amount of time." Nile commented. "Even before I met him I don't think he had many friends. It took a while for him to to actually accept and open up to me, I just wonder why he accepted you so quickly?"

"I don't know. I guess it just kind of happened." Madoka smiled, remembering the fun times she had had with him at first. "Even if it's hard to get along with him sometimes I think he was just looking for a friend." Nile nodded as he watched the girl walk beside him.

"Are you still worried about him?"

Madoka sighed, why does everyone want to talk about Kyoya today? "Of course. I know he's as strong guy and that he can take care of himself, it's just...I don't know." Madoka dropped the subject and so did Nile. Madoka looked towards the setting sun. "Its getting late. Did you want to stay in the spare room tonight? It's starting to get colder out and I'm sure that warehouse isn't very warm."

Niled refused her offer. "Tomorrow night if that okay. I think I'll be up late training and stuff." Nile stopped walking and turned to head to the bey park. "Don't worry I won't damage horuseus to much."

"You better not! It took me a awhile to fix all the scratches today!" Madoka called after him with a slight smile. Madoka continued her walk home, she still had a couple blocks to go.

By now the sky was dark, not completely black, but the streets had come on. That let Madoka know that she better pick up her pace and get home. It wasn't that the city was full of crime or anything, she just had a weird feeling in her stomach. She felt like she was being watched and began to grow nervous. She heard footsteps behind her and a boy's voice call her name, she began running towards her shop. How does this guy know my name!? She made it to the front doors and pulled her keys out. Je father was gone for the night so the building was locked up. She jumped feeling someone's hand on her shoulder, she turned around to see a tall boy clutching something in his hand.

"Your Madoka Amano, a beyblade mechanic right?" He held out his bey, which was badly damaged.

"Eh?" She grew red in embarrassment. This guy was just a customer. I was worried for nothing…"Uh, yeah! Come in and I'll take a look for you. The two entered the shop and descended down the stairs where madoka took a seat to have a look at the bey. "What's your name by the way?"

"Reiji." The redhead mumbled with a smirk. I didn't think it would be this easy. I thought Ginga or someone would be around. This is too easy! Reiji listened as Madoka went on about how the bey was practically in pieces. Reiji was glad he stopped to battle that guy on the way here, he made sure smash the guys bey nice and good.

"Reiji? How did this happen?" The serpent balder didn't answer, Instead he moved closer to grab the blue eyed girl.
