One Determined Lady

Summary: Amberlyn can't stand Hilary; she's bossy and constantly getting in between her and Kai! She decides to do everyone a favour, by beating the crap out of her. Hilary is stupid and meaningless; Kai will praise Amberlyn for pointing that out, right?

Pairings: Miguel/Kai

Disclaimer: I don't own the Anime Beyblade or any character associated. I do own Amberlyn "Amber" Balkov. She is an original character and all likeness to people living or dead is purely coincidental. This character is not on based one anyone else's character design, again if any likeness, it's purely coincidental.

Warnings: Kai is a girl in this story. The use and introduction of a female Original Character. Any fans of OCs and OC pairings should leave now. Anti-OC pairings and blatant bashing of my own character. I created her; I can do what I want with her. And I plan to. Quite a bit of swearing on the OCs behalf, but that's what makes her special.

Gripe for the Day: You know what? I really, really detest replacement!Sues. You know the kind, the ones where the Suethor gets rid of one character (or in many cases an entire team!) and replace them with her god-awful OCs. I've seen it done so many times that it makes me want to go on a flaming spree. It's only by sheer willpower alone that I haven't. If I ever do, however, I'll definitely be logging in; I have nothing to hide.

AN: Hello again everyone. Isn't Amberlyn such a sympathizing and loveable character? I know, I just love girls who are complete and utter bitches who think the world revolves around them, don't you?

…Yeah. The sad thing is, I've actually stumbled across OCs that are just like Amberlyn here. Very disturbing stuff let me tell you.

Chapter 2:

"Is that so? What are you going to do about it?"

Amberlyn narrowed her eyes further into a deadly cold chill at the strange girl in front of her, doing her best to keep her temper in check. However, her usually heart stopping glare didn't seem to affect her at all. In fact, she actually looked even more annoyed that she was glaring at her.

"Yes, that is so," Amberlyn said with a low hiss as it was obvious that she was dealing with an idiot. "You better get the fuck away before I do something that I may, or perhaps, may not regret."

"Wow, you have such a sweet temperament, don't you?" the girl said with sarcasm dripping out each syllable as she rolled her eyes skywards.

Inwardly, Amberlyn was aghast by this strange girl's reaction to her. She was not in awe or in fear of her, not even the slightest bit nervous about her overwhelming, goddess like presence. No, she seemed to be actually irritated by her. As if she was having a good day until she came along.

No, that was what Amberlyn should be feeling, not her! How dare some girl that looked like a female version of Kai think herself so much higher than her? How dare she?! She was not the one who had to go through years of torment at the hand of a relative, deal with painful punishment day in and day out, not having to deal with life on the street.

She was a no one, while Amberlyn was a someone; someone fucking important, special and powerful!

"At least I don't look like a Kai wannabe," Amberlyn quickly retorted, knowing her insult was something that was sure to hit the mark and smirked harshly at her.

However, the girl just laughed at her, as if she was the funniest thing on this planet. It wasn't a chuckle or a laugh brought on by nervousness and fear, she was laughing almost wholeheartedly in her face!

Grr, how dare she?!

"Oh god," the girl snorted as she tried to contain her chuckles and casually batted a lock of stormy gray hair from her ruby red eyes. "That was rather funny, I needed that."

"So, what's your name?" Amberlyn asked in a biting, mocking tone as she moved forward to tower over her in a sense of intimidation as she was still sitting in her seat. "Kia or Kaira? No wait, I bet it's Phoenix or some shit like that."

"No," the girl said slowly, the corners of her mouth twitching into a half smirk. "My name is actually Kai."

"Oh, how fucking original," Amberlyn snapped harshly and folded her arms over her chest. "Couldn't you at least try to be original?"

"Oh, and those triangles on your face are original?" Kai retorted coolly, and Amberlyn gritted her teeth in frustration and anger when she realized that this stupid Kai-Wannabe was actually having a bit of sadistic fun at her expense.

And how dare she even comment on her markings, tattoos reminding her of her dark and painful past? Something this stupid brat would never understand as it was obvious she was one of those bitchy, preppy girls who hated girls like her who was different and unique.

Most importantly, how dare she accuse her of trying to copy Kai! She got her tatts first and Kai's was only face paint, so he copied her!

"As you can clearly fucking see, they are black, not blue," Amberlyn pointed out as she clenched her hands into fists by hers sides as she shook with rage, her icy blue eyes quickly turning into a deep, dangerous blue.

Her eyes changed shades according to her mood. And dark blue meant she was dangerously pissed off. Normally, to anyone with half brain, it meant that they had to apologize repeatedly and grovel for forgiveness; however it was obvious that Kai here didn't have an ounce of intelligence.

"And I got these as punishment because my father is an abusive bastard and I defied him," Amberlyn practically snarled out, her voice icy cold and threatening. "So don't you dare comment on them, you stupid whore."

Kai raised a sceptical eyebrow at her explanation and appeared somewhat bored, as if she had heard that same story before and found it utterly uninteresting. "Right, and that's original too, isn't it?"

"Don't you get it? My father was Boris' older brother," She hissed dangerously, her body becoming tense with anger, preventing herself from lashing out and striking the brainless bitch in front of her. "He was in charge of the Abbey located here in Japan, a place of torture and death. Don't you dare make assumptions like that!"

A silence fell over the two girls, Kai wearing a blank look on her face. It seemed that Amberlyn's tragic tale made her fall into a state of inner guilt, sorry for doubting her and pissing her off, no doubt.

Still utterly annoyed, Amberlyn folded her arms over her chest, expecting the girl in front of her to immediately apologize for her rudeness. And to give her her sincerest sympathy for her troubled life, as well as look up at her in awe for being so strong and powerful.

However, much to Amberlyn's surprise, Kai released a loud sigh of fatigue and frustration, almost slapping her forehead in disbelief, leaning forward to rest her elbow on her knee as she suddenly looked tired.

"There was no Abbey here in Japan, you twit," she said in a tense and stern tone, biting out each word as if what she was saying was logic. "There was one Abbey, and one all boys Abbey alone in Russia, nowhere else."

Amberlyn physically reeled back in shock. She didn't believe her at all? Why the fuck would she make shit like this up? Who did she think she was trying to impress? She didn't need to impress anyone or make herself out to be someone she wasn't. She was feared, she was admired, she was loved; who the hell is this girl?!

"What do you think Bio-volt was?" Kai suddenly asked as she removed her hand from her head and sent her a glare that was overflowing her with annoyance and frustration. She then grabbed her bag and placed it on her shoulder as she took to her feet, stretching to her full height.

When she stood tall, Amberlyn was annoyed to realize that she was taller than her by a few good inches, making her the one that was now leaning over her in a form of intimidation.

"Bio-volt was an organization that Voltaire funded in Russian," Kai continued, her own eyes narrowed in a look that was eerily similar to Kai Hiwatari's patent glare of death. "It was not a franchise that handed out brochures to explain to evil crims and dictators in the making how to create and run their own place of horror right in the comfort of their own home."

She was mocking her...

Amberlyn lost it then. She suddenly lashed forward, ready to strike this Kai-wannabe across the face, ready to put her back in her place. However, Kai simply took a step back, and Amberlyn missed! For the first time in her life, she missed striking someone. She became slightly unbalanced, almost falling into her park bench but stayed on her feet. She spun around to literally snarl at her.

"You don't know what the fuck you are talking about," Amberlyn hissed as her top lip pulled back in a snarl that gave a small hint of the power she possessed when she was angry. "You know what; you're really starting to piss me off. Who the fuck do you think you are, judging me without getting to know any of the facts?"

"Didn't you just tell me your life story?" Kai said with a flick of her tongue, sarcasm heavy in her voice. "I think I've done enough research on you to know you're an idiot."

"You're just like those stupid preps," Amberlyn suddenly snarled, trying her best to control her temper. Yeah, this Kai girl clearly was a judgemental bitch and totally not worth her time or effort. "You're all the same; judgemental and filled with hatred for people not like them. I hate all of you..."

"How utterly ironic," Kai said as she shook her head, a veil of stormy gray bangs swaying before her eyes, her long midnight blue hair at the back floating in the soft breeze. "You say you hate preps because they are too judgemental, and yet, here you are, judging me right off the bat. Please, you're such a hypocrite."

Amberlyn found herself spluttering with a sense of indignity at her accusation. She was not a hypocrite! As if it was her fault she was constantly right about the people around her.

"Here's a little lesson for you; not everyone is going to like you or see how truly special you are, especially with that attitude of yours. If you glare at everyone, no one is going to take the time to understand you," she gave another small shake of her head, acting like this was a complete waste of time and turned to walk away, over this whole conversation. "Get over yourself."

"I know your kind," Amberlyn said, stopping Kai in her tracks. "Girls like you are insanely jealous of me."

"Oh?" Kai said as she raised an eyebrow. "And how do you work that one out?"

"It's simple," Amberlyn said as she folded her arms under her bust, drawing in a few deep breathes to control her temper and sent her a smug smirk, knowing what she was about to say next would really sting. "Kai and I are close, very close. Don't you see? We have so much in common; Boris my uncle, Voltaire his grandfather, we're meant to be and no obnoxious bitch like you or super bitch Hilary will stop what was meant to be."

A stone cold silence fell over the two of them again and Amberlyn grinned in triumph. But then, Kai actually started laughing, almost clutching her sides as she buckled over laughing.

"Oh my god!" she wheezed. "That is hilarious!"

To say Amberlyn was surprised by her reaction would be an understatement. "Why the fuck are you laughing?"

"You and Kai, huh?" Kai said as she wiped a tear of laughter from her eye and then looked serious. "Not bloody likely. Kai has a lot more taste than that, please. As if he would find a whiney little emo twit like you even remotely interesting. Seriously, you're not even worth his time. How stupid do you think he is?"

Amberlyn gritted her teeth. This girl was really pushing it. "Stay away from Kai, he's mine."

"Oh, really now?" Kai asked coolly. "Haven't you heard?"

"Heard what?" Amberlyn asked as she gave her a suspicious look.

"Kai is taken. You're too late," Kai explained with a satisfying smirk on her lips. "Besides, as if Kai would be remotely interested in Goth wannabe like you."

"Who?" Amberlyn immediately demanded, her eyes widening in shock. "Who is it?"

"Hmm," Kai said as she tapped her chin in thought before turning around and walking away, waving an arm in the air as she chuckled. "You'll just have to find out on your own!"

"Get back here you fucking bitch!" Amberlyn practically screamed at the retreating form of the other female. "I'm not finished with you yet!"

"You do realize that swearing and throwing hissy fits in the middle of the street doesn't make you any more likable," Kai said as she paused once again, turning around and indicating to the other people bustling about around them, all of the older one sending looks of utter disapproval in Amberlyn's direction. "In fact, it only proves how immature and how much of an idiot you really are."

Amberlyn just could not believe the hide of this girl, mocking and insulting her in front of everyone. Had she no respect for her power? For her deep seated pains of the past? Did she think she was not worthy of being with someone as cold-hearted and arrogant like Kai?

That bitch...

"Shut the fuck up!" Amberlyn screamed as her at the top of her lungs, her hands curled into fists as she sent Kai the most vicious glare she had ever sent anyone.

Kai suddenly sniggered. "You just proved my point," she said as she turned around and disappeared amongst the masses, leaving Amberlyn to literally seethe in her own skin.

Kai was dating someone? Not possible, right?
