HEE HEE a NEW scene to this chappie!!
Hey Street Blader Fans! ^_^ *waves*
takes place about 7months before the SB series! how Maxell became a shadow blade!!...lol she almost became a red raider at one point.. just read! lol Street Blader Rules!!! (1 shot ficcy, to add to SB)
-A shadow blade is born-
The stars in the sky glittered as usual, but were hiden behind cold, grey yet purplish clouds of winter. No snow had fallen this season, mostly just cold wind and rain.
A young 13 year old girl, sat silently on the steps of her house, it was her birthday today, yet no one dared, or even bothered to notice or care. Probably for the better. She as long as she was quiet, she wasn't beaten. She had short shoulder length ruby coloured hair , which fell infront of her soft, yet sad, hazel eyes (no make up today, she was far to tired) She wore her usual tye dye sparkly blue tube top, and her only pair of jeans, which were faded and ripped at the knees and finally her favourite black and blue sneakers.
In her hand she softly clutched a blue headband from which a white star sparkled in the centre of it, staring sadly down at it. Her only remaining memory of her mother. Since no other memory lingered, her mother had died giving birth to the young red head. While her father had died in a car accident when she was 5, the doctors were amzaed that she even lived through the crash herself. She pocketed the headband.
She was lucky they said.
"Hn, if only they new the hell I have to go through now, they would agree I was better off dead with my father in that car!" she snorted to her self in malice at the doctors for letting her live, this horible orphan life.
Now she was stuck in a foster home, with an alcohlic foster mother, and a very abusive foster father, Robert Wendland, but she was forced to call him Bob! She glanced down at her left wrist, a large bruise, all thanks to her so called "father." She was beaten almost daily. Many bruises were formed on her her back and legs, from his beatings.
She had many scars on her forearms, but they weren't from bob, they were from street fights she had gotten her self into from an early age with ally kids.
She was a strong kid, she had to be, to put up with her foster father. That bruise on her wrist had formed over night, she had come home late the night before, so he "had" to punish her.
That bastard!
"MAXELL! You little bitch! Get in the house!!" came a thundering shrilling voice. Causing the young girl to wince at the sound.
"Kuso!(shit!)" she grumbled under her breath, as she stood slowly. She gasped suddenly, as she felt a large hand wrap itself around the back of her neck.
"What did you just say?!" came the thundering voice again, raspy, and cold.
If she lied, she would be beaten twice as hard, than if she told the truth, she sighed in annoiance, "I said Kuso!"
She forced her eyes shut, as she felt her body make harsh contact with the door, bursting it open, as she was dragged to the kitchen like a raggdoll.
"Kristy, you have some nerve!" The man roared as the girl looked up at him, as he threw her to the hard, cold kitchen tile floor. An ugly man. Red in the face from anger, his nose scrunched up, he looked drunk. Dark rusty brown hair, beaty ugly brown eyes, and large strong harry arms.
Kristy watched in horror as Bob pulled out a large, sharp yet thin knife from the drawer, and turn briskly. He had an evil glint in his eyes, as he held the knife at his eye level.
"N-nani?! B-bob! Please!" Kristy found her self backed up flat agianst the kitchen wall, looking up in terror at her foster fother.
Bob lunged at Kristy's throat, but she briskly moved just in time, but it wasnt fast enough, she found her self stuck suddenly as a wave of pain flashed over her body. Her right shoulder bursting in pain, as blood slowly trickled down her arm. Kristy let out a shriek of pain, as she she threw her head back, though it it didnt ease it much. Moving only made it hurt more!
"Stay still bitch!!" Bob roared as he pulled out the knife.
Desperate to get away, she found her self holding Bob's wrist, and breaking his arm suddenly as she kicked it as hard as she could. He, himself let out a cry of rage and pain as he dropped the knife clutching his arm, giving Kristy the time to dash out the door. Not daring to look back at hell she once called home.
Tear's welled in her eyes as she heard Bobs angery curses and shouts, "Happy Birthday Bitch!!"
Kristy kept running ignoring the pain swelling in her shoulder. She didn't care, she needed to get away. Away from Bob, away from hell, away from it all. She knew it was dangerous to run about the streets and allys of Japan, she knew of the many gangs that only came out at night. The came out to kill any outsiders.
Tears fell helplessly from her eyes, as she clutched her thrbbing shoulder, she could feel her own wet, warm yet sticky blood gush in her hand. Stumbling through the night, quickly she was losing breath, and balance. Her head swelled in pain and dizziness, yet she continued running. She couldn't stop! Bob might catch her, if she did, or worse, an ally kid. Luckliy for her, she had got to known theses ally's quite well over the years. She wasn't an officailly ally kid, but any other normal kid could easily mistake her for one, for her knowledge of each of the ally area's.
The Northside ally's belonged to the Shadow Blades, and The Eternals. The Eastside ally's were owned by the Red Raiders. The Southside ally's belonged to the Night Storms. While the Westside ally's were claimed by the Black Thunders. Kristy had never once encountered any of theses ally members, and she planned not to, they were always seeking a fight, wheather it be a beybattle or a fist fight. It was the Night Gangs that worried her most though! The adult gangs, they were more of a threat than anyone else!
The cold wind bit at her skin, just as a heavy downpour began to fall. Within moments, she was cold, soaked, out of breath, tired, and her whole body ached in pain. This rain wasn't helping her condition, it was making it worse! She needed to find cover, and fast, she was vulnerable now. She was weak, and she had lost much blood. She took off in one last sprint, to save her self, as she rounded a corner, only to bump into a strong warm chest. She could only enjoy the warmth for a moment, before she fell back in her weakness, on to her butt.
"Watch it!" Came a low growl from above her, as he peered down at her trying, to identify her.
The older boy of whom she had ran into wore a deep purple jacket over a blood red shirt and baggy black pants. He had dark blonde wet hair, and cold emotionless green eyes. And behind him stood, a very surprised looking younger boy. He wore a deep purple jacket as well over a dark green shirt with loose beige coloured pants and dark red sneakers which were the same colour as his hair, and soft tea colour eyes. He was rather cute, she couldn't help but blush. (is nanashi's eyes, tea, or teal? lol i dunno)
Kristy suddenly winced in pain, her hand grasped her shoulder instinctivly, as she stifled a whimper. These boys were either Ally kids, or they were Bob's loyalties, and were out to find her. Either way, she was in deep shit. She let out a frighten gasp, as she stood suddenly, and began to back away quickly, her hand not leaving her throbbing shoulder.
She was weak on her feet, and her head whirlled like a top, from the loss of blood. The older boy, took a step forwad, and grabbed her left uninjured arm, harshly.
"Let me go!" she squeaked.
"Who are you? What are you doing here!" the older boy demanded.
In fear, Kristy gave her best right upper-cutt that she could, it was weaker than usually with the injury, but it hurt all the same. The older boy grunted and loosened his grip on her arm, giving her the chance to turn and run. Wincing all the while.
"Vincent!" she could hear the younger boy holler from behind, "She's hurt! She wont last out here! She's heading into the Eastside territories!!"
Kristy let out a frusterated growl, she didn't care, she needed to get away. She could hear, the two boys foot steps, they weren't far behind now. Kristy knew they had chased her into the Eastside ally's, for she came to a dead stop, as she saw another tall boy, standing in front of her. He was tall, and had a muscular build, he scowled down at her, his eyes narrowed, which his jet black, red tipped hair fell in front of .
She growled slightly, as she heard the two boy who had been chasing her, come to a stop behind her also. The taller boy in front of her breifly looked passed Kristy, to glare at the two boys, "Vincent Kojii, and little Nanashi....What are you doing on my side of the Ally's?" he growled.
"None of your business Red Raider!" The talled boy snarled back, who was known as Vincent.
"Hai, but it is! When you are both in my territory, Kojii!" The Red Raider snarled back.
"Gomen Rayden! Forgive my brother, he's just a bit agitated, since that girl in front of you, punched him......We were only chasing her, Red Raider!" The younger boy, known as Nanashi said more politely.
Rayden glared down at Kristy, as he watched her gulp hard, as more tears formed in her eyes. "Outsider, ne?"
"Possibly!" Vincent snorted, crossing his arms over his chest while glaring at the back of Kristy.
"That's some nasty cut you got there girl! Who gave it to you?" Rayden galred down at Kristy, who shifted her feet.
Kristy was uneasy now, she couldn't tell them she came from a foster home, they would think she was a city kid, she wasnt though! She had practically lived on the streets since the age of 5! She knew how to street fight, she knew how to beybattle. She knew all of the Ally kids territories. But judging by Rayden's vaccent expression he wasn't pleased with any outsiders, not even Vincent or Nanashi, which whom he reconized.
Kristy wasn't sure what to say at this very moment, all she knew was her body was somehow getting heavier, while her head was geting lighter. Suddenly she blacked out as the pain in her shoulder grew stronger. She let out a hushed moan,a s her limp body hit the ground.
Rayden stared down at the limp body, "She has had that cut awhile, major blood loss!" He snorted.
"Vincent, can we take her back to our apartment?" Nanashi asked quietly, his eyes not leaving the girls body, "She needs help!"
"She's an outsider! I know it!" Vincent snarled back at his younger brother.
"Well if you wont take this girl off my territory, I'll take her back with me.... I could always use another Red Raider!" Rayden stared down at her, "You gotta admitt Vincent, she's quite the pretty child. Stuborn, yet pretty!"
Nanashi blushed at this comment, while Vincent went red in the face, "What ever Clyde!" Vincent pursed hism lips together tightly, which gave him a look like he was suck on a sour lemon, but his eyes glared daggers at the older Red Raider.
"No?" Rayden smirked, "Hmph, fine with me... you never know Kojii, this girl might be a strong beyblader..and you would have let her slip through your finger's, over your own stuborness."
"She's weak!" Vincent snarled back, glaring down at the unconsious girl.
"Realy now? I don't know many girls, who are able to run as far as she did, with a cut like that.....and do my eyes decieve me, or is that a bruise forming on your jaw?" Rayden laughed his synical laugh, while Vincent surpressed a growl.
"She hit my big brother with a upper-cutt, when he refused to let her go..." Nanashi added with a smirk up at his grumbling brother.
"Ha! Just as stuborn as you, Kojii..Are you still sure that this 'child' is weak...?" Rayden surveyed Kristy's body, before kneeling down to get a better look.
Her hazel orbs hid behind her eye lids, her wet soft ruby hair clung to the warmth of her face, her lips were slightly blue from the cold wind and raint he lashed around the 4 teens. Rayden slowly reached his hadn into her pocket, only to pull out an Aqua and Blue beyblade.
"Well, she blade's......" Rayden's mouth curved in a smirk as he took a closer look.
A bit beast.... of a glowing white cat, with wings, 'quite the bit beast..' he grinned at the thought, but quickly yelped, as he dropped her blade, holding his throbbing hand tightly. The blade had given him quite the shock, in warning. 'This bit beast seems to care for its mistress as well....Strong bond, means a strong pair...' Rayden thought in amusment, before placing the blade back in her pocket.
Rayden was about to stnad up, to glare and give the Kojii's some mean ass comment, before something caught his eye. The cut; it wasn't a beyblade cut, or even a cut that was usually seen in a street fight. this was a knife, and it was done forcefuly, and purposly, judging by the angle. Rayden frowned as he slowly lifed her arm, to peer at her forearm. Scars, now those were from Street Fights, so this was ruled out of city kid material.
Rayden finally stood staring at the very confused Kojii brothers, "Well, she's certainly no city kid.... she's got plenty of battle scars on her arms to prove that..." Rayden's eyes caught Vincent's angry green ones, "So Kojii, you want her? Or is she my new recruit?"
Vincent grumbled, as he threw the limp girl over his shoulder. "Let's go Nanashi!"
"Hai! Later Rayden!" Nanashi smiled, as he raced off after his big brother.
"I'll be keeping my eye on you young girl!" Rayden snarled, before he turned, to go find the rest of his Red Raiders.
********************************************************************
When Kristy awoke it was morning. The sun light danced across her face, cuasing her to scrunch up her nose in annoiance.
"Baka sun!" she groaned, as she turned over, only to yelp in pain, as she sat up straight clutching her right shoulder. Kristy looked down at her shoulder, it was completely bandaged, and she was now in a comfy baggy white tee-shirt, and navy blue sweat pants. Kristy looked around to find her self, in a small yet cozy room, with a balcony, a private bathroom, while everything else seemed normal for a small room, a lamp, ect ect... Kristy glanced at the night table to see her blade, sitting quietly on it. She quickly pocketed it.
She blinked as she heard voiced from outside the room, slowly, she got up, and made her way to the door. She could see the hallway leading into many different rooms on her left, and on her right, it opened up into a living room and kitchen. Kristy paused at the living room entrance to look around the room. She reconised 2 or the 4 perople sitting/standing in the room.
Vincent and Nanashi, they boys from the previous night. And two others..... A Young girl with a vacant expression. Her arms crossed as she sat on the couch glaring at Vincent, long brown hair flowed down her shoulders nicely highlighted with blonde bits here and there. She wore a tight white tank top and dark blue slightly ripped jeans. Startling green eyes never blinked as they glasred up at Vincent Kojii.
And then a boy, he had long copper colour hair that was drawn back tightly against the back of his head with nice coppery bangs coming down into his face. Hard tilted dark golden eyes stared hard into the fire as he added more wood to make it grow, while he listened intensly to the conversation between the girl and Vincent. He seemed the calmest and the most relaxed in the room.
"Can she even blade?!?" The younger girl shrieked at Vincent. Vincent just glared back.
Nanashi was the irst to notice Kristy Standing in the hallway, "Why don't you ask her yourself Trista..." he smiled lightly.
"NANI?!?!" The girl Nanashi had called Trista, turned briskly to glare chalengingly at Kristy.
Kristy blinked at the furriously girl.
"Well, can you?!!" Trista huffed angrily.
"Beyblade?!" Kristy tilted her head, as she took a step forward.
"No! Street Fight!" Trista rolled her eyes sarcastically.
Kristy just stared at Trista like she was serious, "I can Street Fight......and if it makes any difference, I can Blade too!" She shrugged.
Kristy caught the amused glint in Vincent's eye, but she looked away quickly.
"NANI?! I wasn't serious about the street fighting!" Trista grumbled.
"Well I am!" Kristy said indignatly, she didn't even realise the truth, was making her seem more like an ally kid, then some city punk.
"So then your an ally kid?!" Trista eyed Kristy.
"Not exactly!" Kristy shrugged again, staring back at the annoying girl.
"So your a city punk!!?" Trista said acussingly.
"Deffinatly not!" Kristy growled back.
"Then what's your story then?!" Trista yelled angrily.
"If you mind, I rather keep my personal life, personal!" Kristy yelled back in a challenging matter.
Trista just huffed, as she looked away angrily.
Vincent suddenly spoke up, "Let me see what you got! Battle my brother!"
"But Vincent her arm!" Nanashi protested.
"Follow me!" Vincent grunted ignroing his little brother's protests.
The four teen's followed Vincent outside. Nanashi sighed as he brought out his beyblade. Kristy copied the boys gesture and pulled out her aqua and blue beyblade.
They both launched their blades, Kristy struggled though. Her blade wobbled with launch, as she clutched her throbbing right shoulder again. Her injury was giving Nanashi the advantage! Kuso!
Nanashi looked hesitant, "Azul! Finish this battle!!"
"Gain control of your self! Win this battle!" Kristy comanded harshly. As if on que, her blade obeyed the comand, and instantly stopped woblbing, and circled its opponent.
"Averus did you see that?!?" Trista gasped to the copper haired boy. But he remained silent intrigued by the battle.
Nanashi's eyes went wide, while Vincent scowled.
"Feline Dash!" Kristy yelled franticlly, and in the moment, the aqua blade dissapeared from Naanashi's veiw.
"NANI?!!" Nanashi blinked twice, but ti didn't help, "Brother! She has a bit beast too!!"
"Just finish this Nanashi, you shouldn't be struggling with this ameteur!" Vincent scowled.
Kristy smirked, "Hey KittieFae! Let's show them, how much of 'ameteurs' we really are!" the aqua blade appeared ramming into Nanashi's blade, making it wobble slightly.
"Interesting, the only one I've seen able to wobble Nanashi's blade is Vincent.." Averus tilted his head, while Trista scowled.
Nanashi regained composure, "Azul! C'mon!!" his blade complied as it rammed Kristy's blade at fully speed, causing sparks to fly.
"Nanashi this should have been over long ago!" Vincent scolded.
Nanashi clentched his teeth, as he watched desperatly, "AZUL!!!" slowly his angel bit beast appered.
"Let's go KittieFae!!!" Kristy yelled just as desperatly, as a pure white cat, with sapphire eyes, and wings of ice emerged from her blade. "Take down that Angel!!"
The large cat hissed, as both bladeds collided, sending one out of the dish.
Kristy narrowed her eyes, as she glared down at her blade, no longer spinning at her feet. Curse that fuck injury of hers. She couln't help but growl at her self in disproval.
"My, my! You nearly beat my brother, Shadow Blade!" Vincent smirked, as Nanashi recalled his blade to his palm. Kristy too nealed down, and picked up her blade, but stood suddenly at Vincent's comment.
Kristy stared up at Vincent, "What did you just call me?"
His smirk grew wider, "A Shadow blade! Don't tell me you have never heard of us!"
Kristy shook her head furiously, "Oh I know who you are! You're the keepers of the Northside Ally's! But you're an ally gang! You...I.." Kristy stumbled ovber her words.
"You're a Shadow Blader now!" Vincent comfirmed, "I need more bladers like you on my team! All the blader's around here in the Nothside, are all ametuers and dont even come close to you..don't get me wrong, you are the weakest one here... but you seem to make up for that in your stuborness!"
Kristy wasn't sure weather to growl at Vincent's comment on her being weak yet stuborn, or weather to thank him many times for accepting her as a team mate...yet she asked for nothing!
This was the best way out of her old life, this way she was protected, and considered aparta of the Northside ally's, she would be looked up to, by other lesser blader's in these streets. They would protect her, and this way, she'd NEVER have to go back to her foster home. She couldn't run to the cops, they would always send her back to her family, since they always called the police and reported Kristy as a runaway.
Kristy had ran away before, and she ran to the police, she was beaten badly by bob, but his story, was he would never touch his "daughter" like that, he was soo worryed , and some ally kids problly did it! And Kristy was only lying to get away from the foster homes. It made perfect sense in this area. Bob even pulled off some fake tears..That Bastard!
But now, being accepted in an ally gang of her own, she didn't need a foster home.. this was her home..this was her new life.
"The least you could do is thank Vincent!" Trista snarled, as she made her way back into the hotel.
Kristy glared after Trista as she huffed and turned to Vincent, "I'm honoured, to join the Shadow Blades! Thank you Kojii!" Kristy bowed respectfully. And she ment every word that left her mouth, to him and this team she was so greatful.
Vincent nodded his approval, as he followed Trista silently back into the apartment. While Averus approached her. "We haven't been fully introduced! Averus Silentstorm!" Averus held out his hand, with a grin. Kristy took it gingerly and gently shook it.
"Kristy Maxell!" She smiled back, as they let go. Nanashi stepped up beside Kristy.
"Don't Mind Trista Kansaki, she tends to be that way.. you'll learn to get use to it!" Averus gave another light smile, before following Vincent into the apartment as well.
"Errr..Kristy, if I may ask, how did your arm get like that?" Nanashi peered down at her right shoulder, still wrapped in bandages.
Kristy went suddenly pale and tense, she huffed deeply before turning to the curious cute red hed, "Maybe another time Nanashi? I really don't wanna talk about it...." Kristy gave him a pleading look.
Nanashi could tell by her eyes, this was much more than some ally fight she could have gotten into, this was something personal, and Nanashi respected her privacy, and feelings, "Hai! When you're ready to talk, I'm here ok?! You're one of us now Maxell!" Nanashi flashed a grin, "C'mon!" and with that he sprinted into the apartment, leaving Kristy standing alone for a brief moment.
A smile spread across her face, "Arigatou Nanashi Kojii.." she whispered lightly, before she too followed her new team into the apartment, the safe place she could now call home.

"None of your business Red Raider!" The talled boy snarled back, who was known as Vincent.
"Hai, but it is! When you are both in my territory, Kojii!" The Red Raider snarled back.
"Gomen Rayden! Forgive my brother, he's just a bit agitated, since that girl in front of you, punched him......We were only chasing her, Red Raider!" The younger boy, known as Nanashi said more politely.
Rayden glared down at Kristy, as he watched her gulp hard, as more tears formed in her eyes. "Outsider, ne?"
"Possibly!" Vincent snorted, crossing his arms over his chest while glaring at the back of Kristy.
"That's some nasty cut you got there girl! Who gave it to you?" Rayden galred down at Kristy, who shifted her feet.
Kristy was uneasy now, she couldn't tell them she came from a foster home, they would think she was a city kid, she wasnt though! She had practically lived on the streets since the age of 5! She knew how to street fight, she knew how to beybattle. She knew all of the Ally kids territories. But judging by Rayden's vaccent expression he wasn't pleased with any outsiders, not even Vincent or Nanashi, which whom he reconized.
Kristy wasn't sure what to say at this very moment, all she knew was her body was somehow getting heavier, while her head was geting lighter. Suddenly she blacked out as the pain in her shoulder grew stronger. She let out a hushed moan,a s her limp body hit the ground.
Rayden stared down at the limp body, "She has had that cut awhile, major blood loss!" He snorted.
"Vincent, can we take her back to our apartment?" Nanashi asked quietly, his eyes not leaving the girls body, "She needs help!"
"She's an outsider! I know it!" Vincent snarled back at his younger brother.
"Well if you wont take this girl off my territory, I'll take her back with me.... I could always use another Red Raider!" Rayden stared down at her, "You gotta admitt Vincent, she's quite the pretty child. Stuborn, yet pretty!"
Nanashi blushed at this comment, while Vincent went red in the face, "What ever Clyde!" Vincent pursed hism lips together tightly, which gave him a look like he was suck on a sour lemon, but his eyes glared daggers at the older Red Raider.
"No?" Rayden smirked, "Hmph, fine with me... you never know Kojii, this girl might be a strong beyblader..and you would have let her slip through your finger's, over your own stuborness."
"She's weak!" Vincent snarled back, glaring down at the unconsious girl.
"Realy now? I don't know many girls, who are able to run as far as she did, with a cut like that.....and do my eyes decieve me, or is that a bruise forming on your jaw?" Rayden laughed his synical laugh, while Vincent surpressed a growl.
"She hit my big brother with a upper-cutt, when he refused to let her go..." Nanashi added with a smirk up at his grumbling brother.
"Ha! Just as stuborn as you, Kojii..Are you still sure that this 'child' is weak...?" Rayden surveyed Kristy's body, before kneeling down to get a better look.
Her hazel orbs hid behind her eye lids, her wet soft ruby hair clung to the warmth of her face, her lips were slightly blue from the cold wind and raint he lashed around the 4 teens. Rayden slowly reached his hadn into her pocket, only to pull out an Aqua and Blue beyblade.
"Well, she blade's......" Rayden's mouth curved in a smirk as he took a closer look.
A bit beast.... of a glowing white cat, with wings, 'quite the bit beast..' he grinned at the thought, but quickly yelped, as he dropped her blade, holding his throbbing hand tightly. The blade had given him quite the shock, in warning. 'This bit beast seems to care for its mistress as well....Strong bond, means a strong pair...' Rayden thought in amusment, before placing the blade back in her pocket.
Rayden was about to stnad up, to glare and give the Kojii's some mean ass comment, before something caught his eye. The cut; it wasn't a beyblade cut, or even a cut that was usually seen in a street fight. this was a knife, and it was done forcefuly, and purposly, judging by the angle. Rayden frowned as he slowly lifed her arm, to peer at her forearm. Scars, now those were from Street Fights, so this was ruled out of city kid material.
Rayden finally stood staring at the very confused Kojii brothers, "Well, she's certainly no city kid.... she's got plenty of battle scars on her arms to prove that..." Rayden's eyes caught Vincent's angry green ones, "So Kojii, you want her? Or is she my new recruit?"
Vincent grumbled, as he threw the limp girl over his shoulder. "Let's go Nanashi!"
"Hai! Later Rayden!" Nanashi smiled, as he raced off after his big brother.
"I'll be keeping my eye on you young girl!" Rayden snarled, before he turned, to go find the rest of his Red Raiders.
********************************************************************
When Kristy awoke it was morning. The sun light danced across her face, cuasing her to scrunch up her nose in annoiance.
"Baka sun!" she groaned, as she turned over, only to yelp in pain, as she sat up straight clutching her right shoulder. Kristy looked down at her shoulder, it was completely bandaged, and she was now in a comfy baggy white tee-shirt, and navy blue sweat pants. Kristy looked around to find her self, in a small yet cozy room, with a balcony, a private bathroom, while everything else seemed normal for a small room, a lamp, ect ect... Kristy glanced at the night table to see her blade, sitting quietly on it. She quickly pocketed it.
She blinked as she heard voiced from outside the room, slowly, she got up, and made her way to the door. She could see the hallway leading into many different rooms on her left, and on her right, it opened up into a living room and kitchen. Kristy paused at the living room entrance to look around the room. She reconised 2 or the 4 perople sitting/standing in the room.
Vincent and Nanashi, they boys from the previous night. And two others..... A Young girl with a vacant expression. Her arms crossed as she sat on the couch glaring at Vincent, long brown hair flowed down her shoulders nicely highlighted with blonde bits here and there. She wore a tight white tank top and dark blue slightly ripped jeans. Startling green eyes never blinked as they glasred up at Vincent Kojii.
And then a boy, he had long copper colour hair that was drawn back tightly against the back of his head with nice coppery bangs coming down into his face. Hard tilted dark golden eyes stared hard into the fire as he added more wood to make it grow, while he listened intensly to the conversation between the girl and Vincent. He seemed the calmest and the most relaxed in the room.
"Can she even blade?!?" The younger girl shrieked at Vincent. Vincent just glared back.
Nanashi was the irst to notice Kristy Standing in the hallway, "Why don't you ask her yourself Trista..." he smiled lightly.
"NANI?!?!" The girl Nanashi had called Trista, turned briskly to glare chalengingly at Kristy.
Kristy blinked at the furriously girl.
"Well, can you?!!" Trista huffed angrily.
"Beyblade?!" Kristy tilted her head, as she took a step forward.
"No! Street Fight!" Trista rolled her eyes sarcastically.
Kristy just stared at Trista like she was serious, "I can Street Fight......and if it makes any difference, I can Blade too!" She shrugged.
Kristy caught the amused glint in Vincent's eye, but she looked away quickly.
"NANI?! I wasn't serious about the street fighting!" Trista grumbled.
"Well I am!" Kristy said indignatly, she didn't even realise the truth, was making her seem more like an ally kid, then some city punk.
"So then your an ally kid?!" Trista eyed Kristy.
"Not exactly!" Kristy shrugged again, staring back at the annoying girl.
"So your a city punk!!?" Trista said acussingly.
"Deffinatly not!" Kristy growled back.
"Then what's your story then?!" Trista yelled angrily.
"If you mind, I rather keep my personal life, personal!" Kristy yelled back in a challenging matter.
Trista just huffed, as she looked away angrily.
Vincent suddenly spoke up, "Let me see what you got! Battle my brother!"
"But Vincent her arm!" Nanashi protested.
"Follow me!" Vincent grunted ignroing his little brother's protests.
The four teen's followed Vincent outside. Nanashi sighed as he brought out his beyblade. Kristy copied the boys gesture and pulled out her aqua and blue beyblade.
They both launched their blades, Kristy struggled though. Her blade wobbled with launch, as she clutched her throbbing right shoulder again. Her injury was giving Nanashi the advantage! Kuso!
Nanashi looked hesitant, "Azul! Finish this battle!!"
"Gain control of your self! Win this battle!" Kristy comanded harshly. As if on que, her blade obeyed the comand, and instantly stopped woblbing, and circled its opponent.
"Averus did you see that?!?" Trista gasped to the copper haired boy. But he remained silent intrigued by the battle.
Nanashi's eyes went wide, while Vincent scowled.
"Feline Dash!" Kristy yelled franticlly, and in the moment, the aqua blade dissapeared from Naanashi's veiw.
"NANI?!!" Nanashi blinked twice, but ti didn't help, "Brother! She has a bit beast too!!"
"Just finish this Nanashi, you shouldn't be struggling with this ameteur!" Vincent scowled.
Kristy smirked, "Hey KittieFae! Let's show them, how much of 'ameteurs' we really are!" the aqua blade appeared ramming into Nanashi's blade, making it wobble slightly.
"Interesting, the only one I've seen able to wobble Nanashi's blade is Vincent.." Averus tilted his head, while Trista scowled.
Nanashi regained composure, "Azul! C'mon!!" his blade complied as it rammed Kristy's blade at fully speed, causing sparks to fly.
"Nanashi this should have been over long ago!" Vincent scolded.
Nanashi clentched his teeth, as he watched desperatly, "AZUL!!!" slowly his angel bit beast appered.
"Let's go KittieFae!!!" Kristy yelled just as desperatly, as a pure white cat, with sapphire eyes, and wings of ice emerged from her blade. "Take down that Angel!!"
The large cat hissed, as both bladeds collided, sending one out of the dish.
Kristy narrowed her eyes, as she glared down at her blade, no longer spinning at her feet. Curse that fuck injury of hers. She couln't help but growl at her self in disproval.
"My, my! You nearly beat my brother, Shadow Blade!" Vincent smirked, as Nanashi recalled his blade to his palm. Kristy too nealed down, and picked up her blade, but stood suddenly at Vincent's comment.
Kristy stared up at Vincent, "What did you just call me?"
His smirk grew wider, "A Shadow blade! Don't tell me you have never heard of us!"
Kristy shook her head furiously, "Oh I know who you are! You're the keepers of the Northside Ally's! But you're an ally gang! You...I.." Kristy stumbled ovber her words.
"You're a Shadow Blader now!" Vincent comfirmed, "I need more bladers like you on my team! All the blader's around here in the Nothside, are all ametuers and dont even come close to you..don't get me wrong, you are the weakest one here... but you seem to make up for that in your stuborness!"
Kristy wasn't sure weather to growl at Vincent's comment on her being weak yet stuborn, or weather to thank him many times for accepting her as a team mate...yet she asked for nothing!
This was the best way out of her old life, this way she was protected, and considered aparta of the Northside ally's, she would be looked up to, by other lesser blader's in these streets. They would protect her, and this way, she'd NEVER have to go back to her foster home. She couldn't run to the cops, they would always send her back to her family, since they always called the police and reported Kristy as a runaway.
Kristy had ran away before, and she ran to the police, she was beaten badly by bob, but his story, was he would never touch his "daughter" like that, he was soo worryed , and some ally kids problly did it! And Kristy was only lying to get away from the foster homes. It made perfect sense in this area. Bob even pulled off some fake tears..That Bastard!
But now, being accepted in an ally gang of her own, she didn't need a foster home.. this was her home..this was her new life.
"The least you could do is thank Vincent!" Trista snarled, as she made her way back into the hotel.
Kristy glared after Trista as she huffed and turned to Vincent, "I'm honoured, to join the Shadow Blades! Thank you Kojii!" Kristy bowed respectfully. And she ment every word that left her mouth, to him and this team she was so greatful.
Vincent nodded his approval, as he followed Trista silently back into the apartment. While Averus approached her. "We haven't been fully introduced! Averus Silentstorm!" Averus held out his hand, with a grin. Kristy took it gingerly and gently shook it.
"Kristy Maxell!" She smiled back, as they let go. Nanashi stepped up beside Kristy.
"Don't Mind Trista Kansaki, she tends to be that way.. you'll learn to get use to it!" Averus gave another light smile, before following Vincent into the apartment as well.
"Errr..Kristy, if I may ask, how did your arm get like that?" Nanashi peered down at her right shoulder, still wrapped in bandages.
Kristy went suddenly pale and tense, she huffed deeply before turning to the curious cute red hed, "Maybe another time Nanashi? I really don't wanna talk about it...." Kristy gave him a pleading look.
Nanashi could tell by her eyes, this was much more than some ally fight she could have gotten into, this was something personal, and Nanashi respected her privacy, and feelings, "Hai! When you're ready to talk, I'm here ok?! You're one of us now Maxell!" Nanashi flashed a grin, "C'mon!" and with that he sprinted into the apartment, leaving Kristy standing alone for a brief moment.
A smile spread across her face, "Arigatou Nanashi Kojii.." she whispered lightly, before she too followed her new team into the apartment, the safe place she could now call home.
