4 - thinking
Kai was in his room after the partially shit reunion with Sally, and successfully driving her out of his personal space. He felt a little bad about the way he acted, after all she hadn't meant any harm and he was being kind of sexist. He just wanted to win this year and he wasn't sure that he could do that with her on the team, he had no idea how strong she was.
Right now the 18 year old was laying on his bed, in his night cloths (t-shirt an boxers). His two toned hair was tousled were he kept running his fingers through it. His mind was unusually restless. He couldn't let himself get soft, he couldn't let his guard down he didn't with Tala and he didn't with the Bladebreakers. There was no doubt he had improved with them all but still he wasn't an open book, and there was no way he would stoop to Tala's level. Cuddling laughing, the great big sissy boy !. Kai sighed.
Kai's pov
"I can't believe Tala, his done almost a complete u - turn in 24 hours, all this happy families is doing my head in. I know they're stocked by seeing each other but do they have to make quite so much noise about it. I'm happy for them and everything but I can't afford to have my teammate get distracted and I just don't know how to deal with the new Sally."
end pov
Kai could hear them downstairs, the was muffled talking then sudden outbursts of laughter. The occasional swearing or insults but even that was in fun...fun they were really enjoying themselves. Kai growled with frustration, for him it would never be the same. He couldn't be the person he had been when they were children. Kai thought back to before this had all happened, before the bladebreakers, before the Abby and the harshness of his grandfather, before his father had abandoned him one year exactly before his father had gone and ruined his life. Kai growled with bitterness, his life had been ruined by those men. If things had been different maybe he could be down there with them.
FLASHBACK
Kai was 8 , he had two loving parents but he liked his dad best in fact he adored him. He also adored his new present a gift from his father. He held it in his hand, a perfect shiny new beyblade. Blue his favourite colour. In the centre Dranzer his father's old bitbeast. Now it was his. Kai had ran out into the snow and down to the park to test it. He was a natural, he had been around beyblades all his life it was the best sport ever. As a child Kai practised in the park, one day he felt like he was being watched. Kai turned and fell over out of shock, as inches in front of him the was a small girl and being 8 an all, girls kind off scared him. This one was no exception, the little girl with her sky blue eyes and long red and black hair stared at him then Dranzer. Then she spoke "wotcha doin ?" she asked before he could answer she asked something else "can I play too ?" she asked. Kai didn't answer at first he blinked at her she seemed OK then she pressed him further. " I have my own blade". That got him, Kai beamed at her "sure OK you can play" he said.
end flash back
Kai allowed himself to smile even them sally had been good at blading real good considering she was two years younger than him maybe he would reconsider.... just maybe. Another thought struck Kai and he was surprised he remembered that day so well he wondered if Sally still had the present he had given her that day, before he farther had turned up.
