Hi readers!! You can't imagine how grateful I am for the 10 reviews I got for the last chapter. I couldn't believe my eyes, really. I love you people, keep reviewing and I'll keep updating.

About this chapter, well, the elevator scene. Tell me what you think about it kks?

I use many characters in this chapter, because they'll finally meet the other teams. And I changed idea, Daichi will exist and it's the only opportunity I'll give him in one of my stories. I often forgot about him. LOL.

I chose to use an OC too, who's Jade Tomei. She belongs to Jade-55, thank you so much for the character, I promise to take good care of her n.n (for those out there, you should really pay a look at Jade-55's work).

Disclamer: I don't own beyblade, any of the characters, they belong to Takao Aoki, and I don't own Jade, as I explained before she belongs to Jade-55

Now on with the chap…


Last Vacation

Chapter 3: Reunion and Plans

"4… hey Kai… what's happening to this… are we… stuck?"

But Kai didn't seemed concerned in anything else than what happened inside of his mind… 'Remind me, why did I agree to come here anyway…' he thought. It was two days and he already felt what he was doing was a complete waste of time.

"Hi?? Kai… this thing has stopped… there's something going on… something bad…" … nothing. The Russian guy didn't seem to notice whatever was happening in the outside world.

"Umm… Kai!! Forget whatever you're thinking dammit! We're stuck on the elevator!! Have you realized that yet??"

After her desperate yelling finally he opened his eyes. "Could you please make silence? Yes, I know we're stuck, but what I would like to know is what made me come here instead of staying in Japan."

"… T.T KAAAAAI!"

"I said don't shout. Someone will repair the elevator soon. Until then, you should wait calmly."

'Now he's getting on my nerves. Myriam was right… what made me like him anyway? The way he hugged me yesterday night? Then I shall remember that thing was an illusion or a guy that was very similar to Kai… that could never be the same thing that's leaning there on the wall.' She thought. 'maybe he's right.. and I should wait here in silence till someone repairs it… um, let's see, I will txt Mariah that we're already here…'

"What's the problem now?" the guy asked, curiously looking at the frustrated face of Hilary.

"Tyson… he took my purse, it was in my suitcase…"

"You should have never left your value things to him…"

"Excuse me, but I don't have the supernatural sense to figure out this was going to happen." She stated, glaring at him.

"Hn… whatever. What time is it anyway?" he asked, reminding himself his own advice when he remembered having left his watch in his suitcase too.

"Good question… well, you should pay a look at the elevator clock… uhh?" her eyes opened wide when she realized lights had just gone out… and they were still stuck.

Then Kai finally took conscience of what was really going on. 'Stuck. In an elevator… with her. And no lights. Fine… great…' sarcastically his mind played funny games making him feel uncomfortable.

"Maybe there's some problem on the hotel generator…" he suggested. "Just stay there ok? This elevator is not so big, you will be alright if you stay quiet."

"I… Kai… I don't know, what if this breaks down and we fall, and we die down there because of the explosion it caused, I've seen it in many movies, people are trapped inside an elevator, it stops, minutes after lights go out, and then the belt breaks down (A/N: I don't know if that's how you say the things that move up and down elevators, please someone tell me), and… and… and… we'll die here Kai… we'll die…"

"¬¬' No one's gonna die Hilary… we'll be alright, I told you, stay there and it'll be ok." he pleaded.

She just sat on the floor and breathed slowly. Films pictures coming to her head wouldn't let her in peace, she just couldn't remove them from her mind. People screaming, blood, hands holding when they realized they'd gonna die in the explosion, fire… she had seen many scenes like that. But they suddenly vanished when she felt a cold, caring hand touch firmly grab hold of her shoulder.

His hand remained there as he calmly spoke… "Trust me for once, uh?"

She automatically turned around to face him, but still he kept his hand on her shoulder. There were no lights, and she could feel his breathing so close…

'My God what's going on… he's close… but I can't tell how much close… I just feel his breathing on my face… and his hand on my shoulder…'

'What shall I do now? How am I supposed to act? I've never been in this situation before… I can feel her breath mixing with mine and I can imagine we're only inches apart… what shall I do…?'

Carefully, once again letting his instinct act instead of his reason, he took her chin on his right hand and stood there for a second.

'Oh my god… Oh my god… what's he going to do? Kai was not this kind of guy… not from what I know…'

'Shall I, shall I not?... what am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it anyway…'

But thinking about it took him too long. The elevator made a sudden movement, and she strongly closed her eyes and pressed herself against his chest.

"Hilary!" he shouted, rounding her with his strong arms, protectively against his body. "Calm down, everything's gonna be alright…" he said, trying to calm her in some way. Her arms were wrapped tight around his torso, and her face was pressed hard against his chest.

"Listen to me… it was just a rough movement it made… I've been in this kind of situation before and there's no need to panic, okay?" he spoke calmly.

"Kai… I'm afraid…"

"Just don't be… I… I won't let you get hurt."

"K… Kai…" but there was nothing to be said, the elevator started moving down at normal speed. He let go the embrace when he noticed she was doing fine, and after him she let go too.

Staring at his crimson eyes she blinked twice to make sure that it was really Kai the guy who had just hugged her that way. 'It was Kai… both this time and yesterday… Kai actually has a warm side.' She thought, sighing relieved as the elevator doors opened in the first floor.

"Are you two ok?" a member of the hotel staff asked at the pair.

"Hn." Short and simple reply coming from the team leader, made the man stare at him in confusion.

"Would you please indicate me where the stairs are?" asked the girl, still in some shock because of the things that had happened inside the machine.

The man showed her the way, and Kai followed closely behind. "Floor seven, here we are… okay I'm gonna find my room Kai, see you later" she said, not waiting to receive a reply from the guy, and knowing she wouldn't.


As she walked alone through the long corridors, pictures of the elevator situation started to come to her mind. 'My god… Kai really cared about me in that moment… Myriam was wrong… or right? I don't know if I can trust him, if I can't… oh my god… he's so damn hot…'

Reaching her pocket for the bedroom key she had been given, Hilary opened the door and got inside. Her eyes opened wide at what was inside.

The girls of the other teams were already there… "Yeah… I thought that we'd probably be shearing. Hi girls…" she greeted, muttering the first part. After all, these girls were her only friends.

The room had two bunk beds, two night tables, a refrigerator and a TV. There was also a table with a chair nearby, and a large wardrobe. Julia was sitting in one of the top beds and on the chair there was Mariah, both greeted Hilary and started talking about their own trips. But Hilary wasn't paying attention to what her friends were saying… an unknown girl was sitting on the floor, her back against one of the beds, writing in a notebook.

She was red haired, tall, and didn't seem much talkative. Hilary glanced at her, and then looked at Julia, asking with her look for an explanation.

"Done." Suddenly spoke the new girl. "Sorry I didn't say hello before, my name is Jade, nice to meet you." She said, standing up and looking at Hilary.

"Hi… I'm Hilary, nice to meet you too." She smiled, and walked to the bed they had left for her. "Think I'm going to look for my luggage girls, be right back…" she said, leaving the room and walking again towards Tyson's.

When she arrived to her friend's room, which she recognized because of her suitcase that had been placed at the entrance, she opened the door and looked confused inside. "Kane, Ozuma, garland and you? I thought you'd be with the rest of the Bladebreakers…" she asked to the guy.

"Yup, I thought so. But the guys and I have been all spread up… I don't know where the rest of them might be, but I think I'll soon find out what happened…" he said, been interrupted by a voice coming from a loudspeaker.

"Please beybladers, you shall all present now in the common room for a meeting, where you'll be explained about this holiday and you can ask whatever you want to ask. You have ten minutes, you won't be called again."

"Isn't that Mr. Dickenson?" she asked, getting just a nod from her friend. "I guess we should go…" she said, before starting to walk towards the stairs again.


"As you may have realized, no one expected the rooms arrangement you got. This can be easily explained, and it's because I'm the one behind it. –explained Stanley, a smile on his face. –This hotel has been rented for a whole month, so the only ones here are you. You have to sleep in this order for the whole holiday, and that's because we, specifically Mr. Granger and I, want you to meet other people and interact with different ones. This is how you've been organized, in groups of three and four:

· Mathilda, Monica, Salima and Emily;
· Myriam, Ming-Ming and Queen;
· Julia, Jade, Hilary and Mariah;
· Tala, Bryan, Kai and Rei;
· Michael, Goky, Eddie and Steve;
· Claude, King, Lee and Brooklyn;
· Ozuma, Kane, Tyson and Garland;
· Max, Aaron, Joseph and Jim;
· Dunga, Rick, Spencer and Crusher;
· Gary, Miguel, Mystel and Raul;
· Kevin, Kenny, Daichi and Ian.

You're expected to behave with your fellows, and to have much fun and enjoy the holiday. We will be heading different activities during this month, and you can all join us, the only requisite is to inform about your participation in the reception the day before.

There will be a tournament which will start the day after tomorrow. The inscription is open from now on, and you all are expected to participate, though it's not obligatory. The rules are available on the reception, and the only rule you shall know by now is that the decision to participate has to come from all the roommates. You have to participate as a team.

Now, if no one has a question then you shall go on with your activities." Mr. Dickenson spoke proud of his plans loud and clearly, hoping no one had doubts about what he had said. But even though, one of the boys raised his hand.

"Yes, Daichi, what is your question?" he asked, hopefully that it wouldn't be just a joke that the boy enjoyed doing to anyone.

"What time is supper? I'm hungry…" he said, followed by a shout coming from his stomach, and a death glare from most of the bladers.

"Eh… supper will be served from 6 to 8 pm guys. Now, you can all return to your respective rooms." He said, blushing lightly.

……

"So… a tournament… certainly that wasn't on my expectations." Cold voice commented to his roommates.

"I hadn't thought about that possibility either, Tala." Said Rei, who was standing next to the window looking at the wide view they had of the sea. "East Cork is nice… I never was here before, were you?" he asked.

"No… nice place. Beach, sea, and forest… I think it was a perfect idea from Mr. Dickenson to organize a friendly tournament in this place." Said Bryan, who was lying on his bed, arms folded behind his neck.

"Of course, for those who're going in. I'm not, so it's the same for me." Coldly replied Kai.

"What? No… Kai, please take part… well, you're coming aren't you guys?" Rei asked to the other two.

"Of course I'm going. And if Kai doesn't take part I don't mind, as long as we're three it's fine." Said Bryan. Rei's eyes opened wide at realizing who he was talking to.

"I guess it's… great. Are you coming Tala?" he asked hopefully.

"No, not without Kai. I'm not going into a tournament to loose it, you know?"

"What?! I can't believe what I just heard, you're afraid of going without Kai?" asked Bryan, completely confused.

"Hn. I didn't say I was afraid, I just said that I can't win this tournament alone, and going with you, is the same as going alone." He stated. Bryan and Rei's faces started to look angrier than ever, and stared at Tala wanting to kill him.

"Don't listen to him. He's talking to me not to you. He's just doing this because he wants me in, don't you Tala?" the cold guy spoke, at the staring faces of all his roommates.

"Kai- how did you-"

"Huh, I know you fool. But fine. If you want me to take part on it, then I will. This is the last time I beybattle."

"O.o… fine." In unison, the three of them stared at the guy who, they knew now, would be their team leader.
