Turnabout

     Author's Note: This is my first time writing a Beyblade fanfic and actually finishing it, so I am a bit nervous. ^^;;; It was actually gonna be longer than this, but I decided to just make it into a oneshot as a birthday present to myself. lol It takes place in the last couple of episodes of the original Beyblade series when Kai leaves the Bladebreakers for the power of Black Dranzer. I have tweaked it a bit so that I could fit my OC in.

DISCLAIMER NOTICE: I DO NOT OWN BEYBLADE! THE ONLY THINGS I TAKE CREDIT FOR IS CAMBRIA, SAZUKI, AND STRAGOS! PLEASE DO NOT SUE ME!

The remaining Bladebreakers stared at the door with heavy hearts. Sazuki was right inside and she did not have a clue about what had happened at the Abbey.

"Sazu will be devastated." sighed Max.

Tyson flinched at the blonde's words. He had left the hotel room, swearing to their friend that he would bring Kai back. Try as he might, he failed miserably. Now he would have to look her in the eyes and tell her their leader was not coming back. The thought broke his heart. Sazuki was the most caring person on the team, always making sure that they were well taken care of before herself. Tyson would never understand why she was so in love with Kai...

"Come on, Tyson," Ray said, placing a hand on the shorter boy's shoulder. "We're just delaying the inevitable."

"As much as I hate it, Ray is right." Kenny nodded in agreement. "Sazuki is part of this team, too. The sooner we tell her, the sooner we can figure out what we're gonna do about Kai."

Tyson nodded, knowing they were right. Taking a deep steadying breath, he led the way into the hotel room the team shared. Almost immediately they were greeted by a small gray kitten.

"Hi there, Cambria." said Max as he picked the feline up and held her to his chest.

Sazuki heard the door open from the bedroom. Quickly she went to meet them, anxious to know what happened.

"Guys, how did it go?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly. "Where... where is Kai?"

The boys exchanged looks before Tyson took a step toward her.

"I'm sorry, Saz. Kai wouldn't budge." Tyson sighed, hanging his head. "He's... not coming back..."

It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Sazuki stared at her team, her silver eyes glittering with unshed tears.

"O-oh," Her eyes drop to the floor as she shrugs at them. "I-I see. Well, that's okay." She gives them a watery smile. "He'll come back when he's ready..."

"He sure will, Sazu." said Max with a big smile as he hands Cambria to Sazuki. "This isn't over yet."

She takes the little furball and flashes him a smile before retreating back to their room. The boys let her leave, knowing she needed some time to come to terms with the painful truth. Once she's safely locked in her room, she collapses back against the door and the tears come full force.
