Ello! How are you all today? Hn… not talkative, are you. Ah well, Cupid wasn't very successful, sadly. Something tells me you all didn't like it to much, its style was slightly confusing. ;)

Angelic Kitsune and Skyblue101 thank you for telling me what confused you. The parts that said 'you' was meant to be that you (as in the reader) were actually IN the story. I'm sorry if that confused you and anyone else who read it.

Although, thank you very much for the reviews! This isn't going to be a One Shot; I think I may have a story line that will keep itself up. Shrugs I should keep it updated no problem.

Disclaimer: I forgot to put this on Cupid (My other story for those that are confused) so here it is. I. DO. NOT. OWN. BEYBLADE. Happy? Good, because I'm not wasting my typing skills on putting this in every chapter! Goes poof

OWTF….!

Goodbye

Chapter One: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.

Birds scattered from a near by tree one early morning as yelling arose from the Granger Dojo. (A/N: Don't know if Granger is spelled right.) At had been a few months sense the Blade breakers had all graduated from school. Lately, Tyson and Hilary had really been at each others throats. "Tyson! How can you possibly think such an idiotic, useless thing?" Hilary screamed at him.

"How could I think something like that?!" Tyson took a step forward, his fists balled up at his sides. Hilary didn't show it, but he was starting to scare her. He had never been physically aggressive toward her, but this time was different. Tyson had never been so mad before.

"How could I think something like that?!" Tyson yelled it louder. "You know what Hilary? I've had it with you! All you do is complain like the bitch you are! Why don't you go and hang out with some of your girl friends? Oh wait! You can't because you don't HAVE any! Not one! Zero! You have zero!" Tyson yelled, grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her. Hilary yelped, he was gripping her arms really tight and it hurt.

"Tyson! Stop! You're hurting me!" She cried.

Ray, Max and Kai had been watching this, while Kenny had cowered in the corner. Now Ray stepped forward and grabbed Tyson. "Don't you think you're going a bit far Tyson?" He said, holding him back from Hilary who had fallen down when Ray pried Tyson's hands off her. Kai, being the gentleman he was, had gone around and helped her up.

"So what? Now you're taking her side Ray?!"

"Tyson! Can't you see your mind is clouded by rage?" Ray said, but was then struck in the face by Tyson's fist. Ray fell over, shocked. Then he got mad. Ray jumped up and soon the two were fighting. Max jumped in, along with Kai, breaking them apart. Kai help Tyson back while Ray stopped, seeing what he had done.

Kai looked right into Tyson's eyes. "Stop." He said coldly.

"Whatever." Tyson said angrily and stomped away from Kai, leaving the Dojo.

"Here you go Hilary." Max said as he gave Hilary a cup of hot chocolate. "Don't worry about Tyson, he'll be alright." Hilary smiled slightly, taking a sip from the glass. Her arms had bruises on them from where Tyson had grabbed her. Ray must have seen this, because he came over and sat beside her, then spoke.
"Are your arms alright?" She nodded.

"Mhmm, yeah, thanks for asking." Ray smiled, and then both were drawn to the attention of Kai, coming through the sliding door. Kai was closely followed by Tyson. Kai caught Ray's eyes, and simply shrugged before walking over to his bed and sitting down on it.

Tyson kept his eyes downcast. He walked over to Hilary and bowed. "I'm sorry Hilary."

"Eh? T-that's okay." She said quietly, not meeting his eyes. Tyson then left the room to go think.

Once Tyson had gone, Hilary looked over at Kai. "How did you get him to calm down so fast?" She had always liked Kai; from the day Kenny and Tyson had talked about him and shown her his picture. What was not to like? He had good looks, he was strong, and kind when he needed to be. Sure, he didn't really talk, but someone could always work around that. Kai and she weren't as close as Hilary might like to be with him, but they were friends, even if he didn't admit to it.

Kai cracked his knuckles. "I hit him." He said blankly. Kai had always been straight forward. He didn't see the point in dragging someone on, then cutting the line that made them follow.

"Oh." Hilary said. Ray and Max, along with Kenny, had all looked at Kai, shock written on their faces.

"You HIT him?" Max said, wide eyed. Kai nodded. "Did you really need to do that?"

"It was either hurt himself or be hurt by me." He shrugged. "It worked, didn't it?"

Ray and Max looked at each other, while Kenny looked down at his computer, saying nothing. Kai was right. Tyson would have most likely hurt himself with the way he was acting, and the only way to get him to listen was to knock him down when he was high. Kai was always right. Another quality that girls liked about him. He was smarter then most, and loaded with common sense.

As the days went on, Hilary and Tyson didn't talk. They didn't even make eye contact. One morning, Hilary came to the Dojo and announced she was moving away from Japan.

"What?" Tyson, Ray, Max and Kenny asked in surprise. Hilary had also gotten Kai's attention which made her feel proud.

"I'm moving to North America. I want to see the world." She smiled, and then turned. "I'll miss you guys but Tyson, you were right. I can't hang around all of you forever." Then she strode out.

The boys all blinked and exchanged glances. Hilary, moving, what?

Several years passed and they never saw her again. But one year, Mr. Dickenson had invited all of the Blade Breakers to rejoin as a team and come to America with him to stay in the new BBA head quarters. "Ray! Buddy!" Tyson exclaimed, seeing Ray again after so many years. Ray had changed. He didn't wear his tradition style Chinese clothes. Now he wore normal clothes, like the rest of the gang.

"Hey Tyson." Ray smiled, nodded to Kenny and Max, and then looked around. "Still waiting for Kai?" The other three nodded. Then there was a ding on the flight board and a voice came over an intercom.

"Flight 24 from Los Angeles, California to Moscow, Russia, now boarding."

Tyson blinked. "Kai should be here any minutes then. Isn't that a round flight?" Max asked Kenny, who nodded.

Kai watched the baggage area go around and around, waiting for his luggage to fall from the shoot. He tensed when a hand came down on his shoulder. "Kai, how's it going?" Tyson's cheery voice said from behind him. Kai turned and saw all his friends.

"Not bad." He had become a lot more vocal over the years, and would actually carry out a conversation.

"That's great!" Tyson cheered, then laughed and hugged Kai. Kai blinked, eye twitching. Then Tyson backed off and grabbed Kai's bag. "Here you go Kai."

"Hn… thanks." Kai said, taking it and moving away from Tyson slightly.

After the ride to the new BBA America HQ, the boys chose their rooms. Ray and Kai chose to bunk together, while Max, Tyson and Kenny got the largest bedroom in the two level suite.

That night, Ray propped himself up on one elbow and looked over at Kai who was reading a book. "So, how've you been?"

Kai looked over, setting his book down seeing that Ray wanted to have a conversation with him. "Alright I guess." Kai shrugged. He was alone now that his grandfather had passed on. It didn't sadden him one bit. Kai stretched, then lay down and propped himself up on one elbow, looking over at Ray. "You?"

"Great actually, Mariah will miss me, but if I decide to stay here with you guys she might come visit…"

"Mariah?" Kai smirked. "Made a move did you?"

"Uh… more then a move." Ray blushed slightly. Kai's smirk grew bigger.

"I see… hope you didn't break the bed." Kai rolled onto his bed and looked up at the ceiling.

"Yeah?" Ray said, now on the defensive. "We didn't, don't worry. But what about you?"

"What about me?" Kai asked, glancing over again. Ray rolled his eyes.

"You know what I mean Kai."

"The answer is no. I think I'll wait until I get married, if that ever happens, which isn't likely." Ray chuckled.

"Same old Kai." He yawned. "Well, I'm beat. See you in the morning."

"Yeah." Kai said, and then turned out the light. Hilary…He thought. He had always liked her, even back when they were mindless kids. But now they were twenty-four, and adults. Kai smirked. It was true; absence really did make the heart grow fonder.
