"AND STAY OUT YOU RUNT!" a man bellowed.  A young girl, who looked fourteen years of age, came running out of her own home, where her father chased her out.  "Take all of this junk out with you!"  He threw her bag at her, the family Blade in her face.  "Dad I didn't" but the door was slammed shut in her face.  It starting snowing again on the streets of Japan, and she was in nothing but a black shirt, black hoodie and cargo pants.  Great, of all days, my own father threw me out on Christmas Eve.  What luck!  She grabbed her stuff and began walking away from the place she once called home, but left with the haunting words she heard from her father earlier that night.  That girl is not our daughter, Niwaki.

"Is she still alive?"  The girl awoke from a voice.  "Yes, I am still alive," she answered groggily.  She looked at her watch, it was already noon.  "Aren't you cold?  I mean you did sleep outside in the snow and all," a boy asked her.  "Isn't it obvious, Tyson?  She's pale, shivering, and there's snow on her clothes," a gruff voice answered.  "Kai, you could be a bit more nice, you don't want to intimidate her."  The girl looked up at the group of boys; there was five of them.  "Do you wanna go to my dad's shop and warm up a bit?" the blond one asked.  She nodded quietly and followed the boys.  "What's your name?" the one with dark blue hair asked.  "I'm Tyson, that's Rei, Kai, Kenny, and Max." "My name?  I'm Ryu achoo!  Sorry, I'm Ryu Hamasaki."

"Did you say Hamasaki?" Kenny asked.  She nodded while dragging her bag along.  "Your father is the same person who works with Mr. Dickenson for the BBA!" he answered excitedly.  "I got your bag, but you don't look too happy.  What's wrong?" Rei  asked.  "It's nothing, really.  Please, I don't want to talk about my father right now or ever."  Kai scoffed at the comment and smirked a bit.  "You probably got kicked out of your house or something by the way you said it!"  Ryu winced a bit and nodded.  "What!  You're kidding us, right?"  "I wasn't  serious when I said that.  I was just joking," said Kai.

"No I'm not kidding.  My dad kicked me out last night for something I didn't even do, that's why I was outside when you found me sleeping outside," she sniffled.  "But today is Christmas!  How could he kick you out at a time like this?" Max asked.  "Because he's Masaru Hamaski, that's why."  They entered the shop where they found Tyson's grandpa and Mr. Tate.  "Hey little dudes, who's the new chick?  Another fan girl?" he asked.  "Please sir, don't call me a chick, and even though I know they're the Blade Breakers, I'm not another rabid fangirl," she smiled lightly.

Wow, even now she's managed to joke around, Kai thought.  "G-dad, this is Hamaski Ryu, Mr. Hamasaki's daughter!  Ryu, this is my grandpa," Tyson replied.  "It's nice to meet you," she bowed slightly.  "Dad, can I talk to you in the back?" Max asked quietly.  "Do you think she can stay with us for a while?  She doesn't have anywhere to stay because of her father.  Can she, please?" he asked.  Mr. Tate looked out of the door, and saw her taking off her wet hoodie with her pale hands.  "Of course she can, but you will have to explain why later."

"Ryu, are you always this pale?" Rei asked surprisingly.  "Not really, but my friends call me the Winter Apparition because during the winter, I'm as pale as a ghost!" she grinned.  "How do you even manage to laugh now?" Tyson asked.  "Well I try not to worry about it much because I have more important things to do."  "Like what?" Kai asked.  She held out her Beyblade, she had a Wolborg as well but in a more advanced blade.  "Like perfecting my blading techniques!" she grinned.  "You Beyblade?"

"Yeah, it takes my mind off of life, kinda like an alternate reality, ya know?" 

"Haha!  Tyson you had better watch out!  This chick might show you a thing or two!" Grandpa laughed.  "Ahh, don't call me a chick, please!  I can't stand that!" Ryu laughed.  What is going on with this girl?  Her own father kicked her out of her own home just last night and she's still able to laugh!  "Hey, aren't you forgetting us?" Erinque asked, waltzing into the store with the rest of his team.  He looked and saw Ryu standing next to Tyson.  "Ooh, who's this?"  He looked at her from top to bottom.  Medium layered black hair with red streaks, aqua blue eyes, pale to creamy completion, an atheletic build.  She has looks to kill but her style is kind of like one of those tomboys.  "I'm Ryu Hamasaki," she smiled.  "Hey there baby, wanna go with a real man?" he asked.  "Uh…" she gave him a weird look and shook her head.  "No thank you, I'd rather not go out with someone whom I just met and flirts with me when we've known each other for less than a minute," she smiled.  "Where did you guys get her, from the Rolling Stones magazine or something?!" Erinque asked.  Ryu simply just blushed and turned around at the sound of Mr. Tate's voice.  "Erm, yes sir?"

"Would you like to stay with Max and me for a while?  It's free of charge and you can stay in one of our guestrooms if you'd like."  Her eyes lite up and she nodded excitedly.  "Yes sir, I'd really appriciate it!" 

"Max, why don't you and your friends go home for now where it's warmer?  You can show Ryu to her room and let her wash up.  It's already getting dark anyway and it's growing colder."  "Yeah!  Thanks dad!  C'mon Ryu, let's go!"  He grabbed her hand but realized how cold they were.  "Your hands…" He looked at them, and found them paler than any part of her body.  "Here you can wear my gloves.  They may be kind of big but they'll keep your hands warm," he insisted.  "Thank you Max, that's really sweet."

"If I didn't know it better, I'd think Max had a crush of Ryu!" Kenny whispered.  "But we just met the girl this morning, how can he have a crush on her already?"  "Well she is pretty you know," Erinque pointed out.  "Yeah and she does Beyblade.  You don't find too many girls who actually do," Rei replied.  "I swear, she's all you guys can talk about!" Kai replied.  "We're here!  Ryu, my dad called your dad and he said that you can go tomorrow to get the rest of your clothes.  I guess you're gonna stay here for a while." 

"Are you hungry?  I'm sure Oliver can cook us all something to eat," Robert asked.  "Erm, not really.  I just don't feel like eating." 

"When was the last time you ate?" Oliver asked.

"Yesterday at noon."

"What?  You're able to skip four meals without any snacks and still not get hungry?" Tyson asked, amazed.

"Yea, everyone thinks I have anorexia but I just don't feel like eating."

"Well you're gonna eat like it or not Ryu.  If not one way, it'll be another," Kai replied.  "Okay?" she questioned.  "Let's show you to your room so you can wash up!  You can borrow my clothes for tonight so your clothes can dry from the snow."  She smiled and nodded.  "Thank you Max."

"I don't understand, her own father kicked her out?  Is he really that uncouth?" Robert asked.  "He sounds like it!" Kenny replied.  "But I always thought Mr. Hamasaki was a nice man.  Why would he kick her out?" Max pondered.  "Because he thinks that I did something that I didn't do," Ryu replied to them.  She was wearing Max's PJ's and they looked huge on her.  "Wow, are they really that big?  I didn't know, I'm sorry."

"Nah it's cool.  They're really warm and actually quite comfortable."

"So what did happen between you and your father?" Tyson accidentally blurted out.

"Um…I really don't wanna talk about him right now."  Ryu sat down next to Kai and sighed.  "Hey guys, dinner time!" Oliver called out.
