Author's Note: Sorry, some family stuff happened, and people said things that shouldn't be said and so on. Anyway hopefully I will update sooner since I'm going to write as much as the next chapter since I seem to have my dear Writing Demons back. So anyway thanks to everyone who enjoys this fic and who's read and reviewed;

kavbj - Yeah and even though I like snakes I even shiver at the thought of it. It did make sense it a strange way, but Kai will be better soon... Thanks for reviewing!

d1bontemp - I agree with both points! Emily is the only female beyblade I don't like out of the whole beyblade seasons. Michael, never liked him either - guess that was why I never minded having one getting killed and one receiving a nice punch to the jaw. Thanks for reviewing!

isthatnecessary - There will be more deaths but...who knows you may not like them. You'll find out next chapter! I think... No you will. It would be mean to keep that secret any longer. I think you might actually like next chapter even though it's quite sad. Neh, we will see - thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 8
"That was pretty pointless." Rei sighed and continued to walk with his team, just a few moments ago, Judy had demanded answers from Kai. Kai on the other hand just sat there with an unconcerned look upon his face. Which once again provoked Judy to ask even more questions.

Of course everyone now had heard that someone was missing, only a couple of groups came to see who the missing All-Star was. No one had seen her after her battle, which was when she decided to go look for Kai and give him a piece of her mind.

Kai constantly told Judy that he hadn't met with Emily, though the strange thing was that Judy wouldn't let him leave until he admitted that he had seen her - which was unfair to say the least. So that was when it had happened, Kai stood up and left, leaving the BladeBreakers to sit in an uncomfortable silence and Judy trying to calm herself down.

"Wonder why Kai won't just agree that he saw Emily... I mean he would be left alone if he said he had." Max sighed not really understanding what all of the fuss was about. Emily could just have bumped into an old friend and lost track of time, but then again that didn't sound like Emily.

"Probably because he's stubborn. Though I guess if anything did happen to Emily, Kai, would be in a tricky situation." Rei was slightly annoyed at his beybattle and couldn't get the first loss out of his head which was quickly making him irritable. He had seen what was happening but he just couldn't concentrate when he didn't know where his captain was.

"I'll be back in a minute, guys." Tyson turned around and walked off wondering if he could try to talk to him - though what would that do? Kai would get mad, possibly, and then try to possibly kill him. Tyson frowned not really caring or noticing the icy coloured eyes that had suddenly appeared and was following his every move.

"Kai's gone crazy and Grangers' frowning, it really is the end of the world." A voice mocked, Tyson didn't need to even turn around to know that it was none other than Tala. Tyson stopped in his tracks, and turned to glare at the older blader. "He's not crazy, Tala, he's just depressed, and feeling guilty." Tala had taken his time to walk nearer the World Champion.

"So then why are you looking as if you have the world on your shoulders?" Tala watched carefully as Tyson glanced at the floor, his face draining slightly. Though when he looked up again and faced the accusing eyes of Tala he smiled sheepishly, "Me? Ha…I'm fine!" He let out a nervous laugh and slowly backed away.

Tala on the other hand simply stood still and glared, keeping his arms folded – in deep thought about what was going on with everyone. Kai was unstable, Tyson on the other hand gave no support or said much like he usually did, or would do. Something was wrong with him as well as Hiwatari. Not good.

Now Tyson felt worse than before, he didn't like keeping things to himself, nor did he like the feeling of knowing something and not being able to shout it out at random. Then there was that other doubt that began to grow in his mind…If he were to tell Kai would he just get worse? Or would he be angry and then suddenly try to hurt him. Tyson sighed heavily wondering what he could do.

I know I should tell him…but what if…? Tyson frowned and shook his head, he had to tell Kai… As if fate was messing with him Kai walked down the corridor. "Emm….Hey Kai!" Though the blue-haired blader just continued walking going right past Tyson, who suddenly felt even worse at being ignored already.

Kai's footsteps stopped, "What is it?" Tyson would have said that he needed to talk to him but something made him bite his tongue. Probably because they were in a public place and someone could appear at any time.

"…Never mind." Tyson walked off quickly just so he wouldn't be questioned on his actions. He hoped that he could somehow get Kai alone so he could at least admit to what he had done or at least what had happened.

When the BladeBreakers and Hilary got back to Tyson's dojo they were greeted by bags and the Demolition Boys shoving random ones into the car trunk. They all stood silently for a moment, before Max decided to ask what was happening. "Where you guys going?" Bryan and Spencer made no comment and went back to shoving things into the car.

"You're so slow, you missed the phone call from Mr. Dickenson." Although it was rude to answer someone else's phone, Tala also knew it would be rude to the person calling not to answer. "Our luggage is back and Mr. Dickenson booked us a hotel room." Tala shrugged not concerned that he was leaving but slightly annoyed that he didn't know what was going on fully.

"Well, okay, see you in the next tournament then." Rei said, only to get a quick reply from Bryan, "Not if you keep blading like that you won't." He and Spencer smirked when saw how annoyed the neko-gin got.

"Where's Selene?" Hilary jumped out of the van wanting to know where the other girl was. Being with so many boys was not her idea of fun, especially when she had almost watched her friends get beaten.

"Thought she went with you," Tala shrugged, not caring about the black-haired girl who had suddenly vanished. Hilary rolled her eyes and huffed then continued to go inside the dojo to look for Selene.

Kai began to wonder what had happened in the corridor with Tyson, he had never really thought about anyone when his mother died and his father had gone to prison. Still something felt wrong, as if Tyson was different.

No he isn't he's just annoyed that he has to put up with a murderer in his house… He glanced around only to land on Tyson. He's not smiling for once. Kai frowned but it faded as fast as it had came, Tyson was probably just not happy with the fact that dinner wouldn't be served as soon as he would have liked.

"Hey Hiwatari, when you're better – I'm so going to hurt you." Tala glared just so Kai would know what he meant but he just dismissed it and went inside not bothered if he wasn't being followed or if someone was in the middle of a conversation with him.

The house was quiet, and Kai sighed in relief since he had been yelled at for about half an hour his head ached with a dull pain. He just wanted to go to sleep but if he did go to sleep then the nightmares would come again and Kai didn't want to remember what happened. He slipped back into Tyson's room, which he was now staying in for more than half of the day.

The next day only meant another day of rest and although most of the BladeBreakers were thankful when they got to rest it was now beginning to annoy them as they had suddenly seen how badly they had done in the last match.

"We should just go train somewhere else, so Kai has some time to himself." Rei sighed wondering who could take up training he personally was much to kind-hearted to train anyone. That was another reason why Kai was a good trainer, he didn't care that he was driving them too hard.

"He goes everywhere himself, shouldn't we stay with him?" Max wondered and although Tyson would have agreed if he didn't have something to share he simply shrugged it off. "It would be best just to train and hope for now that Kai comes out of this himself." Kenny stopped typing, Max stopped smiling, and Rei began to frown, that did not sound like a Tyson Granger answer.

"Since when do you leave anyone to sort things out themselves?" Rei raised an eyebrow wondering what had gotten into Tyson. Kenny and Max agreed to what Rei was saying though decided to stay quiet for the time being.

"Well, I just think that we should just leave it for the now…So we can at least get better at beyblading…" Tyson trailed off when the atmosphere in the room suddenly began to choke at him, Max and Rei looked very displeased.

"So we should leave our friend just so we can get better at beyblading?" Rei didn't sound displeased anymore he sounded angry. Tyson sighed and shook his head not wanting to tell them that he wanted to talk to Kai alone because then he would be questioned on what it was about.

"No, that's not what I'm saying… Just that if Kai wants to come then-." Tyson was cut off as Kai had managed to hear the last bit of the conversation, "-I don't want to come. Go train."

Silently thanking Kai he nodded and stood up – he had the perfect idea to get back and also, finally, talk to Kai. "You sure Kai?" Max thought that maybe he was just slightly annoyed at them all because he never got to beyblade, but it didn't look like it nor did it sound like it.

"Okay then." Rei, Kenny, Max and Tyson all stood up ready to leave. Selene suddenly popped up from behind the kitchen door, "Where you all going?" She spoke slowly as if her words were going to hurt anyone if she said them to fast or too loudly.

"To train." Kenny announced, though Selene kept the curious look on her face, not really wanting to know what they were going to do but where they were going to train. "So did you guys hear? About the monument again?" This caught everyone's attention, well everyone's except from Kai's.

"They say someone else was killed…" Kai suddenly became interested in the conversation and started to listen in. Selene on the other hand sighed loudly and continued on what she was saying. "You mean you never watch the news even though there's supposed to be a killer on the loose?" She looked at everyone individually not really wanting to believe that was true.

"Well anyway whoever it was scrubbed out some words. Police think it's someone's blood." Tyson blinked, so there were now two people dead? It really was becoming really serious then again it could just be a hoax.

Selene would still be in the house so somehow Tyson had to get her out of the dojo too, they would all know something was wrong if he ordered them out so he tried to think up something but then again she was meant to be good at keeping secrets so maybe he could tell her to...Nah it wouldn't work would it?

Half way to the training area – the park which actually now had a beyblade dish installed since the sport was now so popular. "Oh, I'll be back in a minute, forgot something!" Tyson took the short silence to his advantage and turned and ran, not really caring about what his friends had shouted back.

"Selene." Tyson looked around wondering where the girl was. Phase two: Get Selene out of the dojo! She came from her room which she shared with Rei and Kenny. She didn't give any direct response but waited to see what he wanted.

"I have something to tell Kai – really important so go and stall everyone else – please?" It wasn't a big request and it did give her a reason to leave the house and go and annoy everyone. Then again she couldn't exactly say that she was meant to be annoying them so Kai and Tyson could talk.

"Fine." She rolled her eyes, "Where are they?" Tyson smiled a genuine smile for a few seconds until he remembered what he was about to do. "The old park." Selene nodded and muttered something under her breath and left the Granger dojo.

"Okay…" He looked around and took a deep breath knowing fine well where Kai would be at this time. The living room or his own room where the only places Kai spent his time now.

"Kai…" Tyson looked around his small room, to find Kai sitting on the floor staring off into space. Tyson gulped back a lump in his throat as he knocked on the door just to let Kai know that he was standing there.

"Em…Kai?" Tyson slowly came into the room even though it was his he wasn't sure whether he should wait until he had Kai's full attention or if it would be best to just yell it out.

Kai was sitting down leaning his back against the wall, "Go away." He called unable to think of anything else to say, he didn't want to speak with Tyson. Hell he didn't want to speak with anyone.

"Why?" Tyson had already closed his bedroom door and he was sure that his legs would give way, hw could he even admit anything like this? How could he even try to say it? Kai took a deep breath and snapped, obviously getting angry at the fact that Tyson was in the same room. "I said go away."

Tyson clenched his fists, Kai didn't really know how he had been feeling since the funeral. Had he even noticed that he hardly even laughed anymore? "But I really need to talk to you." His voice was small and quiet as if it were a pleading request.

"I don't care. Leave me alone!" Kai's eyes were open, and he was glaring at the shorter teenager, though that was when Kai noticed the clenched hands and the shaking posture.

"AND I SAID I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU!" Tyson bellowed, Kai was slightly dazed at the reply he received he hadn't seen Tyson so stressed – not even when he was trying to cope with so many betrayals a few years ago and of course the stress of the BEGA league.

Author's Note: Sorry again for the wait, and sorry for the cliff hanger but I have a little plan laid out. So I must not mess with the master-plan! -coughs- Anyway please review!
