Ai had just ran the last two blocks home because she couldn't shake off that feeling that somebody was following her. Ai had reached her front door, entered her house quickly, slammed her front door, and locked it as fast as lighting. When Ai was sure that she felt safe she started to go up the stairs and into her room. She flopped down on her bed and just stared at the ceiling for awhile.

"Ai are you alright?"asked a concern Leonaidas.

"Yeah, just a bit freaked out about what happened earlier."

"I see, well then how about you just rest a bit and then we can head over to the park." Ai nodded her head at the suggestion and turned on her tv that her mom and dad got for her when she was eight. On the tv was fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, one of her favorite shows. Her mom didn't like it when she watched it because of the bad words, but her dad was fine with it and had even convinced her mom that it was okay for her to watch it as long as she didn't repeat any of the bad words.

Leonaidas seemed to have liked it and was really focused on it right now, but Ai couldn't even bring herself to giggle when Ed had just called himself short. She was to focused on what happened today on her way home from Marucho's place.

*Flashback*

Ai had started to walk home after she left Marucho's place. She had decided to take the long way, since she thought that Leonaidas should be familiar with the city and also that she needed some time to think for herself. Leonaidas would ask some questions here and there about what was or that and Ai would answer them while explaining what they do. While they were walking Ai was in deep thought that she didn't notice that she had ran into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there."apologized Ai.

"It's alright and besides I should have been watching were I was walking." said the stranger. "Do you need help getting up?" Ai wondered what he meant by that but then she noticed that she had fallen down when she bumped into him.

She blushed in embarrassment and said "Oh you don't have to, I mean it was my fault after all."

"No, I insist and besides it wouldn't be very gentlemanly for me to leave a girl on the ground." Ai knew that he really wanted to help her so she gave up and took the hand he had offered her. Though when she grabbed it she felt that something wasn't right.

"Um, thank you for helping me up."

"No problem, well then I guess I should be going. I almost forgot, my name is Marduk and it was nice to meet you. I hope I see you around, Ai Kuso." After he said that,the now identified Marduk, had walked into the crowd behind them. Ai just stood there looking at where Marduk had disappeared and then ran the last two blocks home.

*End of Flashback*

When Marduk had said her name Ai felt a shiver go down her spine. Ai had come out of her thoughts just in time to hear the ending of the show and see the preview for the next. Apparently Leonidas had taken a liking to Fma Brotherhood because he could not stop talking about it. Ai had a small smiled on her face and then started a discussion with him about the show. They were about to continue when Ai's bakuwatch (AN: I decided to call it the bakuwatch so I wouldn't have to keep typing bakugan watch) went off alerting her that someone was trying to contact her. She grabbed her watch and said "Ai here, what's up?"

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Ai had smiled when she heard that voice.

"Hey, Megan and to answer your question I'm doing fine. So what's up, do you need something?" Ai replied.

"No, just calling to checkup on you since you had everyone worried."

"Yeah, sorry about that. Hey, so listen I'm not sure if papa or Marucho told you, but I now have a guardian bakugan even though its only temporary." Ai said. While Ai was talking to Megan, she started to change her clothes. Ai had just put on her belt when she heard Megan say that she was happy for her.

"That's great I can't wait to meet him or her. Anyway we are all here at the cafe, waiting for you to show up."

"Okay, one Leonaidas is a boy and two I'll be there soon."

"Okay, see ya."

"Bye." Ai said and ended the communication line. Ai had finished getting dressed when the called ended. She was wearing a red tank top, blue shorts, her belt with her gate and ability cards, and to top it all off, Ai had strapped on her bakuwatch.

"Ai, where are we going?"asked Leonaidas.

"We are going to the cafe that my mom owns and works at."replied Ai while she was putting her hair into a braid. "Done,okay let's go." Ai grabbed Leonaidas and ran down the stairs. She stopped at the door and bent down she could put on her shoes. She walked out the door and once she had locked it, Ai had clicked her heels together making her shoes turn into inline skates. Ai had started to rollerblade down the street, making sure Leonaidas was safe on her shoulder. She made a sharp turn left and had to avoid the people walking on the sidewalk.

When Ai was close enough to walk to the shop, she clicked her heels and the inline blades turned back into shoes. Ai made it to the shop just in time to see a line of people waiting to be seated. Only one thought went through Ai's mind 'Rush hour', but before she could even get through the line, Ai was suddenly grabbed and pulled into the cafe.

"Whoa!"Ai yelled as she was pulled. Before she could even get out a single question, her apron was pushed into her hands and the only explanation she got was "I'll explain later, just start seating people." and that was all she needed to hear, Ai got to work immediately.

*Time Skip*

After about three hours of seating and waiting people the rush our finally ended. Everyone had complained and remarks were made. The adults scolded the children for being so lazy. They also said that the only one with an excuse was Ai. Ai had a smug look on her face at the mention of that. When suddenly she remembered that she had to introduce Leonidas to everyone.

"Hey guys, I have to tell you all something." Ai said and walked into the middle of the café, so she had everyone's attention. "Guys this is Leonidas, my temporary guardian bakugan.

"So this is the bakugan, we were talking about earlier when I contacted you." said Megan and Ai nodded her head to that question.

"When did you meet him, Ai?" asked Juliet.

"And why, is he here on Earth?" questioned Adam. Ai then explained everything that happened the night she woke up after blacking out. "To summarize, he'll stay here on Earth as your temporary guardian bakugan, until he gets his memories back, right?" Ai nodded her head.

"That's actually not a bad idea, Ai." said Shun as he ruffled her hair a bit. Ai looked up and smiled at him. She walked over to the counter and had placed Leonidas on top of it and had started the introductions.

"Leonidas, these guys are my family and friends. Starting from left to right you have my mama, Runo and my papa, Dan. Then the four boys standing next to then are my brothers Renji, D.J, Riku, and Davis. Next, you have Shun and his son Hiro. Followed by Marucho and his nephew Adam. Here you have Julie, Billy and their daughter Hailey. Next to Hailey's family is Alice and her daughter Megan and that's it for the humans.

Up next are the vestals and we will start with Baron and his son Alex. To finish off the vestals are Ace and Mira's family. The green haired guy is Ace and the orange haired is Mira. Next to them are their kids Chase and Blaze. This is Fabia and her son Jin, they're both from Nethia. Finally we finish this up by introducing the Gundalians. This is Ren and his son Sora. Next up and Zenet and her son Zack. Here, we have Jesse an his daughter Juilet. Last, but certainly never ever least are Mason and Lena and their kids Clay, Sean, and Hannah." said Ai as she introuduced Leonidas to everyone. Later on she introduced Leonidas to the other bakugan and everyone just stayed at the café until dinner time.

AN: Here is the next chapter and I hoped you all enjoyed it. I went through eight songs, just so I could finish writing this chapter. Also I just want everybody to know that I will be doing a sequel after I finish this story because one I thought it would be cool and two I started writing it in a empty notebook I had during science just so I could stay awake during class. In the sequel there will be new characters heroes and villains. You'll also see some old bakugan too and of course no one could forget our heroine Ai Kuso.She'll make new friends and enemies. Meet old allies and have a whole new adventure.
