Daigo:

Tears blurred his eyes as the man's hand ran up through her hair. Robin put a hand on his chest.

Through the water on his face, Daigo picked out a few details. The man seemed eighteen. He was tall, with long, oiled gold hair. Dark green eyes with gold flecks complemented a strong jaw and perfect lips. His hands moved carelessly over the white-haired girl, and Daigo closed his eyes.

His girlfriend was eleven, so normally, it'd be impossible to mistake her as such. But when an older person approached, her body seemed to mature more, growing curves that no one had noticed. But Robin wasn't fighting back. Had they done that many times before? More than that?

You're going to be dealt with. Cold anger took away his pain. You are dead.

Daigo could not only see souls, but he was pretty sure he could turn them more light or dark with his own power. I'm giving you five seconds...

He mentally prepared himself as Doomscizor started yelling at him. Five, zero point five--

Daigo, don't even think about--

ZERO.

The man screamed and jolted back. Light and energy filled Daigo's body, while he slumped back, whimpering. With a quick glance, he could see it had succeeded, with his soul brighter and his, well, dark.

Before Robin could glance around, he turned and ran, tears streaming from his eyes.

Robin:

This random guy walked up to her. She ignored him, having seen him around before. He was nineteen and a half, liked to bet on the fights. That meant he was paying for Robinś family, which was why, when started walking closer, she didn't kick him where the Zac don't shine.

Well, until he kissed her.

She instantly closed her mouth, but he started biting her lower lip. Robin cursed in her head and brought her hand to his chest, digging sharp nail points into his skin. Idiot.

Suddenly, he screamed, clutching where his heart was, and fell to the ground. Robin backed up, glancing around. Who has that kind of power? Who would be that ruthless about it? What's going on? Never mind, first beat this guy up.

He dizzily sat up, and Robin glared at him. Let's just pretend that it was me. "Beat it. "

The guy ran.

Jerk.

But who's power was that, Robin? You should figure it out, because for all you know, you were the target and he/she missed.

Fiiinnneeeee...... I'll ask Daigo for help.

The next day, she knocked on his door. "Daigo?"

A boy with cat ears opened it. "What?" he growled. Daigo looked more tired today, way more than usual. He wasn't wearing his bandanna, his skin looked especially pale, and his eyes were swollen and red. He clutched a grey, cat shaped stress toy in his left hand.

"Are you sick?" she asked.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "If one more person asks me that... never mind. What do you want?"

She frowned slightly. He had never been this hostile before. Why was he this time?

"Well, a guy kissed me in a dark alley and I was about to kick him and then he started screaming," Robin said. Daigo scowled more and she could guess what he was thinking. "No, that hasn't happened before and I literally washed my mouth out with soap for ten minutes."

He rolled his eyes. "So you want to know why he was screaming?"

"Yeah," she told him. "Can I come in now?"

Without responding, he closed the door in her face.

"Daigo," she whispered to the grey paint. "What's going on?"

Daigo:

He stomped to his room, wringing the stress toy in his hand. Ryota peeked out of his room, eyes wide. "Daigo?"

All he saw was red. How dare Robin walk in and act like it was nothing! By the way she stared so scarily at him, he was sure that she was lying. What if she had been doing two relationships at once? Daigo had seen her act before, and Robin was a very good actor.

"Daigo?"

And just coming up to him and asking him for help! That wasn't fair. And she didn't need to know what he had done. It was over. Why did she do that?

"Daigo?"

Pop.

The cat head burst, sending water across the wood floor and shaking him out of his thought. "Gaah!"

Daigo jumped back at a gazillion miles and hour. Ryota sighed. "A bonus of not being half cat is that I'm not terrified of water. Geez. Also, I got it on video!" He held up his phone in its grey wolf case. "I'm going to send it to Robin!"

"Don't," he snarled.

His brother flinched. "Are you possessed again?"

He rolled his eyes and pointed to a bracelet he recently started wearing. "Silver. Now leave me alone."

Daigo felt sort of bad for yelling at his brother, especially when he heard the violet-eyed boy crying into his bedsheets.

Doomscizor sighed and facepalmed, coming out of his bey to form a cat.

"What are you doing?" he backed up quickly. "This better not be return of Doomscyther, because if it is, I'll go get Ryota."

"It's not," he promised, stretching. "But you know I feed on anger and fear and stuff, and I didn't want to be in that beyblade anymore. Oh, and you should take another soul reading."'

Daigo tilted his hand so he could see the palm, allowing the color to seep out of the world. The palm was less than a third white. "How is that possible? I basically took all the good from the other guy!"

"Yeah, but isn't that a bad thing? Like, a REALLY bad thing?"

He growled and kicked the wall, yelping as pain shot through his toes. "I hate it when you're right."

"Just tell Robin," Doomscizor suggested, dipping his head under Daigo's hand He gave in and scratched the cat's head. "She'll probably understand," he continued, purring. "She did kinda do the same to Shu, after all."

He shivered. "But... what if she--"

"Did that?" he guessed, hopping onto the purple bedspread. "She'll tell you, and Ramos will tell me if she's lying."

Daigo sat down on his bead with a thump and picked up a pillow. "I don't want to know if she is."
"But you're treating it as if it is, so what's the difference?"

"Between suspecting and knowing is the difference."

Doomscizor sighed, curling up at the foot of the bed. "Do you have experience with love? No, you don't. Sure, you're with Robin, but you're too young to get what that means. I've been in too many to count over the ages. It means you have to be able to trust one another, and understand them, and even when you see then at their worst, you can still find forgiveness and love in your heart. Not jealous, though that was understandable."

He made a face. "I don't feel like listening to that right now."

"Are you going to be grumpy for the whole day?"

Daigo threw a pillow at him. "So maybe you're right. So? What can I say to her? I treated her pretty badly just now. How could she forgive me, especially if I'm right about Blond Guy?"

"Then she doesn't love you, and it's over," he replied bluntly, closing his eyes. "It happens. Now don't wake me up."

"Wait!" Daigo yelped, swatting at the tail.

Doomscizor opened one grey eye, hissed, and batted at him with a paw. "I said good night."

Robin:

She paced through the school the next day. The rest of the beyblade club waited on the rooftops, along with a purple-haired girl and boy no one knew the names to.

"Who are we waiting for again?" the girl asked, repinning her short hair.

"Daigo," she snapped back, continuing her pacing.

"Stop," Shu told her. "That's distracting." He turned to the girl. "Why are you here?"

"We're making a movie on Beyblade! It might even be turned into an anime one day!" the boy cheered.

"CAN I BE THE MAIN ROLE?" Valt yelled. Everyone but the Kurenai twins covered their ears.

"If you break the glass, you pay for it," the girl said, pointing to her camera.

Footsteps on the stairs.

Robin's head swiveled to the noise. After only two weeks, she could find Daigo's footsteps from about half a mile away, tested when she got lost in a forest. That was Daigo, alright.

Sure enough, a dark haired boy with a guarded expression stepped onto the roof. "Hey guys, sorry I'm late. Robin, could I talk to you?"

Robin's vision flashed, different scenarios streaming through her brain. Her throwing him off the roof. Him throwing her off the roof. Shu throwing Daigo of the roof. What was with throwing people off the roof?

"In a moment," Shu said, striding towards Daigo. He gripped him firmly by the shoulder and lowered his voice. Behind his back, the purple haired twins began filming.

"You break her heart," he said, slowly and carefully. "I will break you. Understand?"

Daigo gulped. "Y-yeah. That's, uh, kinda cliche, though."

A look of amusement played briefly across his face and he released the neko.

Daigo stumbled back, then gestured for Robin to follow him.

As soon as they went downstairs, Daigo wheeled around and glared at Robin. She tilted her head, confused. I don't get it. What did I do this time?

"YOU KISSED ANOTHER GUY, LADY!" he yelled. "ARE YOU SERIOUS???? DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CRAZY THAT IS AND HOW SCARY FOR ME? WHY DID YOU--"

"I told you, he kissed me," Robin pointed out. I don't understand. What's so bad about that?

"WELL, YEAH! BUT KISSING ANOTHER GUY WHILE IN A RELATIONSHIP ISN'T APPROPRIATE!"

She gave him a blank stare. "Huh? What do you mean?"

He gaped at her. "YOU MEAN YOU DON'T GET IT?"

Robin shrugged. "Well, yeah. Why are you so worked up about it? It's not like I did anything."

Daigo groaned and put his head in his hands. "When you're in a relationship, you and the other person are each other's, no one else's. Get it?"

"I... guess?"

He stopped smacking his face. "Ugh, we're going to speak later."

She blinked. "Oh, yeah, I forgot. Hey, do you know of anyone who can make someone fall over without touching them?"

He rolled his eyes. "Pssh. I have no idea who would do that to the stupid blonde."

Her eyes narrowed. "Woah... how did you know that he was a blonde? I never said... wait.... You did it, didn't you?"

¨Well, I may or may not have literally taken all the good out of his soul. Or tried to. Apparently, heś back to normal now. Doomscizor checked.¨

¨Huh?¨

¨I just found out he turns into a cat in our world,¨ Daigo explained.

She looked at her beyblade, which sparkled ruby in the sunlight. ¨Huh. So like Pokemon?¨

¨Yeah,¨ he almost-smiled. "I guess I didn't know how innocent you were."

She shrugged. ¨Just relax. Oh, and don't stalk me.¨

Suddenly, the wind kicked up, and they both lurched to the side, crashing into the wall. RObinś vision slipped into darkness for a few seconds as her head hit concrete. Daigo looked equally beat up. ¨Ow.¨

¨oW.¨ He agreed, standing up. ¨Whatś going on up there?¨

The answer:

Zac in a helicopter.

¨HELLO!¨ he called down, jumping and settling in a perfect landing. ¨It is I, the Masked Blader!¨

¨Dude,¨ Honcho rolled. ¨We know youŕe Zac.¨

¨WHAAATTTTT?????¨ Valt screeched, making everyone cry out.

Wakiyaś face was turning red and purple. Robin tapped his arm. ¨Hey, you okay?¨

¨Zac owned him as the Masked Blader,¨ Honcho explained cheerfully.

¨Take off your mask,¨ Daigo suggested.

¨I can't or my identity will be exposed to the world.¨

¨Ah... you might wanna rethink that,¨ Daigo replied. He pointed behind the pop star, to the throngs of fangirls behind them. They were staring and murmuring, likely wondering why such and illustrious star was slumming with their school.

Actually, their school was really nice, but still.

¨In that case...¨ Zac reached for the yellow and blue and black mask that looked sort of like a butterfly.

Robin cut in. ¨Dude, were you cosplaying as Lucina?¨

Everyone else, fangirls included, facepalmed. She looked around. ¨What? The mask design just looks similar, that's all!¨

If they could see his eyes, the blond pop star would have Xś over it right now. ¨ANYWAYS... BEHOLD!!!!¨

He took off the mask and his clear blue eyes shone with excitement. Robin wasn't surprised, as she had to ignore his charm before, but the fangirls cheered and swooned. ¨WOAH!!! WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED?????¨

¨Iḿ here to invite you guys to a party, Twinkle Toes,¨ Zac told them, referring to Valt. ¨THere'll be a special guest there that youĺl wanna meet. Come and enjoy the festival!¨

He jumped back into his helicopter and it flew away, scattering Collectible Signed Zacs Albums behind them.

Robin and Daigo looked at each other and shrugged. In unison, they said, ¨Worst. Exit. Ever.¨

¨Not true!¨ Valt protested. ¨I thought it was awesome!¨

Innocent little smol bean...

And just like that... we're back on track for Lui and Valt's first meeting! Will Lui crush his dreams or will Valt prevail?

Okay, I'm over the dramaticness. See ya!

Robin out!
