"Will anyone actually talk about what happened?" Wakiya demanded. No one answered. Everyone was sitting and not really paying attention to him. They were all confused. This guy appeared out of nowhere and threatened me, my friends.

I couldn't get that out of my head. I couldn't help imagining what he would have done if he got too close. If he could've touched me. Would he have hurt me? Hurt my friends? Kill them?

"(Y/N)? You ok?" Shu asked sitting next to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I hadn't noticed but I was wrapping my arms around myself and trembling. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little creeped out is all." I said forcing a small smile.

"Yeah I think we all are. Don't worry. We'll stay with you guys for tonight. We could report it to the police tomorrow if you want?" Shu said. I nodded. "I know this private detective that worked for my father a couple of times. She could help us too." Wakiya said.

"Look at you. Flaunting your power." Rantaro gave an exaggerated sigh. "Exaggerated? Using big words, huh?" Wakiya mocked. "Eh? Are you tryin' to start something?" Rantaro stood up and walked towards Wakiya. "What's it to ya if i am?" He growled.

"They never change do they?" Daina said exasperated. I laughed a little. "I'm going to go lie down for a bit. I'm a little tired." I told them as I walked upstairs. I went to my room.

I wasn't really planning on sleeping. I just wanted to figure this out. I looked at the note on my desk.

Dear Toshiro,

This is a beyblade belonging to my Great Uncle. It's very powerful and if anyone finds out you have it, it could be tracked down. The copy has already been made. Please take care of it.

(Y/N)

I wasn't really sure what the note was about. Was I giving away a beyblade? Why would I?

I took the note and went to the room where all the beyblades were. I looked at the wardrobe. I had a fuzzy memory of a blue beyblade. "A defense type?" I asked myself quietly as I ran my fingers across the glass. There were only 5 blue ones, and only one looked like it was built for defense. I pulled it out and it felt unusually light. I twirled it under my fingers.

There was a marble as the tip. It was hollow. Was it supposed to give it more momentum instead of a strong center? How was it a defense type then? The design was gentle, small carvings on it, a green design curled around the center. A maiden with two compasses. Water flowing out of them.

"Maiden's River?" Someone asked. I turned and Shu was standing there. "Is that the name?" I asked. He nodded. "You talked about it a lot, or used to." He held out his hand and I gave it to him. "Its still a little unsettling to see you hold them. You never pulled them out. I can't help but feeling guilty for letting you."

"It's fine. I think i'm changing a bit." I said. He turned it. "The marble makes it look like it's a defense type doesn't it? It's stamina. The light material helps it move. But if it's hit, it can change trajectory."

"Oh. Hey, Shu?" I said holding my hand out. "What's wrong, (Y/N)?" he said giving it back to me. "Do you think Toshiro will actually hurt us?"

"Hasn't it been over six hours already? It's dark outside. Looks like it was just an empty threat." He said looking out the window. "Yeah. I hope so." I looked out too. Watching the last of the sunset colors fade away and a dark blue color taking over. As a shadow was cast over, I felt a shiver run down my spine. "Still kind of scary—"

A scream rang out from below. Then a loud crash. "What was that?" I said alarmed. "Valt and Daina stayed behind." Shu said quietly. "Shu! (Y/N)! Help!" Valt screamed. We ran out the room and into the living room.

"Toshiro." I said as I entered. He was standing there with Valt. He had him in a headlock. Daina was on the floor, a puddle of blood surrounding his hand. "What the hell? Daina!" Shu rushed to kneel next to him and put his head on his lap.

"Don't worry about him. He's fine. I just knocked him out." Toshiro said. Shu glared at him and he stood up. "S-shu!" Valt gasped out as Toshiro held him tighter. Valt's hands were grasping at his arms but Toshiro was too strong.

"Let him go!" I yelled at him. Valt started crying, tears running down his cheeks. "(Y/N)! Daina!" he wailed. His eyes were screwed shut, and he was shaking his head. "I didn't get my payment yet, (Y/N). I'm taking your little friend here." He snarled as he punches him in the stomach.

Valt coughed up blood and doubled over. His legs started shaking and then he went limp. "That's easier." Toshiro threw him over his shoulder. He held out a knife and flipped it, then he threw it at me. I tried to cover my face but he wasn't aiming there. "(Y/N)!" Shu yelled and tried to run to me. The butt of the knife hit my the space between my fingers.

I stumbled back and fell. "Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded. "He's gone." I said standing up. "He took Valt with him."
