HELLO HELLO HELLO!! HERE'S CHAPTER TWO!!!
*I do not own beyblade*
The press confrence was set for seven o clock.
I was ready for whatever questions the media had for me.
Kai and I secretly agreed that Kai would play as my bodyguard if things got too crazy.
When we got to the building where the confrence would be, I swallowed my pride and the last of my dignity and stepped out of the car.
Absolute silence.
Not a word from the media or any of the fans. Everyone was just too shocked to see me in a dress. Kai escorted me inside and sat me down next to him at the table. I could feel everyone's eyes just boring into me. Then, in correlation to the challenge, I spoke in the best female voice I could muster.
"Uhm.." I muttered, looking up at everyone. "Do I.. Do I look that bad?"
Everyone freaked. I was getting compliments and questions handed to me one after another, it was only when Mr. Dickenson walked in that everyone calmed down.
"Welcome everyone." he began. "Allow me to introduce our two final teams who will be facing one another tomorrow. We have on my right, the Demolition Boyz, consisting of Tala, Brian, Spencer and Ian. And on my left we have the Blade Breakers, consisting of Tyson, Max, Ray and Kai. ... Uh, Ray? Why are you in a dress?"
'Single me out, why doncha?' I thought, then answered.
"Well," I explained in my girl voice, "today I received a letter from a fan. The letter held a challenge for me, and that was to choose a dress and to wear it throughout this competition. Since I usually don't turn down a challenge, I humbly obliged."
Then the media started up.
"Where did you get the dress?"
"Who did your hair, what stylist?"
"Could we get a smile? We need a few pictures!"
"QUIET!!" Kai shouted, silencing the room.
"I'll answer your questions!" Max chimed, grabbing everyone's attention. "Tyson and I got hold of said letter and got Ray to try on all kinds of outfits, but none of them seemed right. Then Kai walked in. He's the one that picked that outfit out for Ray. And he's the one that did his hair."
"WHA??!!!" was all the reporters could say, then they started talking amongst themselves and aiming questions at Kai.
"Kai, how long did it take you to do his hair?"
"Why did you choose that particular dress?"
"Are you and Ray secretly having an affair?"
Kai didn't answer any of those questions, he just sat down next to me and stayed quiet as Tyson and Max tried to change the subject. At that time, I got a sharp pain in my stomach. I figured it was just butterflies, but then remembered that I hadn't been eating all too well for the past few days.
"You alright?" Kai asked me.
"Uh, yeah, just fine." I answered, holding my stomach. "Just butterflies."
Then my stomach growled softly. I was definitely hungry.
"You haven't been eating again, haven't you?" Kai asked.
"Uh, no, of course I've been eating!" I lied. Kai saw right through me.
"This confrence will be over soon." Kai whispered. "We'll sneak out through the back so we aren't caught by the paparazzi."
"Uh... ok." I muttered, trying to ignore the growing pain in my stomach.
After the confrence, Kai and I snuck out and Kai dragged me to a restaurant. I told him I wasn't that hungry, but Kai wouldn't hear of it. We got seated and we ordered. As we were waiting, I noticed that everyone around us were staring and whispering to one another. Then things just got worse. The conference was aired on the TV in the restaurant.
Now even though everyone in the restaurant was staring and whispering even more, Kai and I chose to ignore them and had our meal. I had three helpings of different kinds of noodles and a salad while Kai had a steak and a salad. I was on American style spaghetti and meatballs when I ran into some trouble, the stupid meatball wouldn't stay still!! I tried multiple times to calmly stab the meatball, but ended up getting frustrated. I heard a chuckle and looked up to see kai holding back his laughs.
"What's so funny?" I asked in my girl voice.
"You're adorable." Kai answered, making me flustered.
"Well, uhm, I, uh." I stammered, not believing Kai would actually talk to me like that. Kai smiled at me and admitted he liked teasing me, calling me cute and whatnot.
I sat there and stared at him, scowling.
"What's with the pout?" Kai asked.
"I'm not pouting, I'm scowling." I answered.
Kai chuckled.
"Looks like a pout to me." he said. "A cute little girl pout."
"Stop calling me cute!" I squeaked.
"Why?" Kai asked. "You really are cute."
I blushed innocently and stared down at the floor.
"Aww, you're blushing." Kai teased, chuckling again.
"Stop that!" I whined. He was really getting on my nerves.
"Alright, alright." Kai replied, placing money on the table. "Let's go before we're mobbed."
"Oh, ok." I agreed, standing up from my chair. We both left the restaurant quickly and hailed a taxi before the paparazzi could spot us.
In the cab, Kai rolled up the window between the driver and the backseat and turned to me.
"We'll be back at the hotel in no time." he said.
"Are we going to sneak in the back?" I asked.
"If you want to." Kai answered, patting my head.
"If it'll get us around the paparazzi, then we're going in through the back." I said, not wishing to face the paparazzi.
"Alright then." Kai said, smiling at me. I think that was one of the first times he ever smiled so much in one day. Usually he was isolated and one to not show emotions, but now...
"Drop us off here." Kai said to the driver, rolling down the little window. The cab stopped and we both got out. Kai led me behind the building and we were able to get inside without being seen.
"You have the key?" Kai asked me. "I think I lost mine."
"Don't worry, I have it." I replied, taking the key out of my handbag and letting us in.
I flopped down on the couch and stretched, happy I could relax again. I noticed that Kai had gone straight to our room when we got it, and I wondered what he was doing, so, out of curiosity, I followed him.
"Kai?" I asked to the dark room. "You in here?"
I was grabbed from behind and a hankerchief covered my nose and mouth.
"You know how the saying goes, my kitten." a strange voice said. "'Curiosity killed the cat.'"
After that, everything went black.
