Chapter 10
"Kai." Hilary said.
"What about Kai?" Adrian asked.
"Kai can talk to her. I mean she sneaks out almost every night to see him. You could get him to try talk to her about it." Hilary explained.
"What's the percentage that he'll talk to me. We're all surprised that he's even been talking to her. And did you say that Kiska sneaks out almost every night?" Adrian said.
"Yah. You didn't know that?" Hilary said.
"I'v talked to him a little bit. Them is seeing each other is changing both of them. Like you said, the old Kiska is coming back. Kai isn't as anti-social as he used to be. I think he's our only hope." Mariah said.
Kai walked by the group but stopped when he heard his name. "Dare I ask?"
"Hey Kai! Just the person we wanted to see." Mariah said with a smile.
"Forget it. I'm gone." Kai said starting to walk away again.
"Wait Kai." Adrian said.
'The sooner I listen to them the sooner they'll leave me alone.' He thought and stopped. He glanced over his shoulder and Adrian walked over.
"Look. We just wanted to know if you could try to talk to Kiska." Adrian paused. "Try to get her to stand up for herself. If she let's my dad push her like he is now she could get hurt."
"Sometimes you just have to endure. Doesn't matter what is thrown at you." Was Kai's reply. Kai started walking away again.
'How can one endure when there isn't much left in them? When one is ready to give up?' Adrian thought. The bell rung and everyone scrambled to their classes.
(Lunch time)
Everyone was eating their lunch then a voice echoed through the cafeteria and hallways. None other then the principal of the school making an announcement through the megaphone. "May I have your attention please. Sign ups for the Beyblade Tournament will be placed on a bulletin board outside the cafeteria. If you plan to participate you must have the following in your team. The team must be a team of at least four people. Strategists are not considered part of the blading team. They can only be there for help. You can have no more then 6 people total on a team. We look forward to seeing the battles. Good bye." The principal announced.
"We're participating right Kai?" Tyson asked.
"Yes." Kai answered.
"Yay! Practice after school Max?" Tyson asked.
"You practice? I didn't know the word practice was even in your vocab." Max said with a smile. "Sure."
"I'll join you guys too." Ray said.
"So are you girls gonna participate?" Max asked.
"It depends if we can get another blader." Mariah said looking at Kiska. Kiska was currently in her own world and was poking the food on her plate.
"You okay Kiska?" Ray asked.
"Hm?" Kiska asked looking up. "Oh yah. I'm fine."
"You seem a little preoccupied." Ray said.
"It's nothing." Kiska answered.
"What do you say Kiska? Blade with us?" Mariah asked.
"Yes."
Hilary and Mariah's jaw dropped. "Really?" They both asked.
"I'll blade with you." Kiska repeated herself. 'Not that I have a choice in the matter.'
"Yes! I'll finally be able to battle you!" Tyson said rejoicing.
"Just because I'm on the team doesn't mean that I'll battle Tyson. The forth person is a subsitute for is someone get's sick. Having more people on the team is just so that you know that you can't get disqualified for lack of players. Me being the last person to join the team makes me the substitute." Kiska explained with a smirk. 'At least being entered and on a team should get him off my back for awhile.'
"They make sure everyone battles at least once." Kai said.
"Way to kill my parade yah Kai?" Kiska asked.
"Hmph."
"What about just a little practice battle." Tyson begged.
"Why do you want to battle me so much? Are you really that cocky to think that you can beat me? Believe me Tyson. Never underestimate your opponant. And if we do battle each other I'm not one for you to mess with. I have more power with me then that meets the eye." Kiska warned. "Ask my brother if he hasn't told you already."
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Tyson mumbled.
"Maybe you should teach him a lesson sis." Adrian suggested.
"Adrian." Kiska started.
"Just a little battle. It won't hurt." Adrian said.
Kiska sighed. "Okay. Gym after school Tyson. Prepare to lose."
"I can't lose to a girl." Tyson said in a cocky tone.
'Those will be his last words.' Adrian thought. Even though Tyson was his team mate he had to be behind his sister in this battle. There were a couple more hours before school and Kiska could easily change her mind in a blink of an eye.
(After school in the gym)
'Time to see what she's made of.' Kai thought standing with his arms crossed waiting for the battle to start. You could already feel the tension in the room.
"Ready?" Max asked. "3...2..1...Let it rip!"
Both blades were launched and Dragoon flew out of the dish before even touching it. Crystal spun strongly in the middle. She did the same attack that she did on Adrian the couple days before.
"There. You had your battle. Now you can't say that you've never battled me." Kiska said catching her blade. She then walked out of the room.
Tyson stood dumbfounded. "How did she do that?" He asked unbelievably.
That was everyone's question. She had figured out an attack that didn't even let a person react. It was so quick and flawless that you couldn't figure it out either.
Adrian walked over and picked up dragoon and examined him. "You're lucky. He's not damaged. The last time mine took a beating."
"Do you know how she did that?" Tyson asked.
"No idea." Adrian answered handing Dragoon to Tyson.
'I've never seen a battle end that quickly. She's got serious power. Kiska is one to watch in the tournament.' Kai thought. He replayed the short battle in his head. Trying to see if he could figure out what happened.
"Girls, we have our ticket to the top." Mariah said.
"Not the best words to use Mariah. You can't use her. That's the reason why she hates beyblading in the first place." Adrian said.
"Sorry. Well you guys have serious competition this year." Mariah said giving a thumbs up.
"We're the champions three years running. Even if you guys have her, she can't fight all your battles." Tyson said.
"Tyson who did you guys almost lose to last year?" Hilary asked. "Oh one of the newbie teams if I remember."
Jelena giggled. "You guys were lucky that Kai was able to pull you guys out."
"You guys haven't even participated once. There are some really tough bladders." Tyson said crossing his arms.
"Yah we haven't participated but we've practiced with you guys before and other people. And not to mention we won." Hilary said.
"Whatever." Tyson replied.
"Girls 1, Tyson zip." Max said quietly to Ray. Ray chuckled.
"Come on you guys. Let's go look for Kiska." Hilary said.
(Kiska's POV)
After the battle I went outside. I wanted to avoid getting asked about how I ended the battle so quickly. I ended up outside by a large tree. I sat down and leaned against the trunk. I pulled out a small bag of sunflower seeds from my back pack. I sprinkled them on the grass near by. I calmly watched as birds came closer to eat. Scared and shy at first but soon they came right up to me. I put my hand down and one bird jumped onto my finger. I raised it up closer to me and smiled.
"Aren't you the courageous one?" I said to it softly. "Doing something you're not sure of."
It chirped as if it was responding. I put my hand back on the ground and it jumped off and joined the rest of the birds to eat.
Then it hit me. That little bird just came up to something that was 20 times bigger then it is and trusted it with no fear of what might happen. In a way that bird has more courage then I. Something happened to me and I try to avoid it from ever happening again. That bird has probably been chased by kids and animals more then we could count and yet it still trusted me. I was more like the other birds who after I have been chased I avoid it by keeping my guard and not getting to close to something even if it was nice.
I started to think of everything that has happened to me. I noticed that at the moment, I was living a life just doing what I was told. I was staying clear of everything that used to bring me joy all because of a bad experience. I started to debate in my head if I should try actually blading because I want to again or really keep trying to get away from it. Truth was, I was born to beyblade. I had the natural skill. But so I was also with singing. My dad could try to take that but I can't let him.
I stood up in one swift movement scaring all the birds. All hid somethere safe but the one little bird only fled to a branch right above me in the tree. And when I took a couple steps it came back down. I smiled again and then looked in front me. I saw Mariah, Hilary, and Jelena in front coming towards me. I started walking towards then with one thought in mind. It was time to start changing things around here.
