Kai: Humbug!
Z Star: Stop being such a wet blanket! You're not Scrouge remember?
Kai: Humph! (Crosses arms)
Z Star: Hmm… I know! (Takes out the mistletoe) Merry Christmas Kai!
Kai: O.O AHHHHHH! No! Don't kiss me! (Runs away)

She belongs to Miaka54321. Well I hope you enjoy this… well if you weren't enjoying the story you wouldn't be here would you?
Chapter Ten: My Burning Kiss
KAI'S POV
After another day of intense training, I headed to my bedchambers, wandering in the dark, gloomy halls. The championships are coming soon; so Boris has intensified my training... do you know its Christmas Eve tomorrow? Hmm… I don't have much memories of Christmas though… You know I have no memories of my past. Not even of my parents… God… I wonder what happened to them? They wouldn't just give me to my Grandfather, would they? Maybe something happened to them… Argh! My head it hurts again!
FLASHBACK
Again I was having another memory coming back to me. But this one was more shady and old then the other ones. A five-year-old me was walking down the halls of an old mansion, it was very early in the morning, since the sun was just about to rise. The younger me climbed down a huge staircase and I followed him.
He led me to a large living room, with decorations and a brightly lit Christmas tree. But the slate haired boy wasn't the only one there.
"Mama?" The boy asked. There, there was a sapphire haired woman who looked at the chibi me with her dark brown eyes. She smiled and picked the boy up.
"Good morning sweetie." She said kissing the younger me on the forehead. "Did you sleep well?" The child smiled sweetly and nodded his head.
"Geisha? Kai? Are you awake?" The next person to enter was a very tall man with Grey bangs and some of his hair was a turquoise color. And he had the same burning red eyes as I did.
"Merry Christmas Nilolai."
The man went to hug his wife and child to celebrate Christmas day. I knew who these people were… they my parents!
END OF FLASHBACK
"NO! I can't have those kind of thoughts! They're for weaklings!" I screamed, punching into the wall. "They're for weaklings! Your parents are gone! Probably dead! Don't think about it! DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!"
END OF KAI'S POV
A pair of sapphire eyes was watching the anguished scarlet-eyed boy. Why she was spying on him, Pleo had no idea. But he awoke her from her sleep and felt a feeling in her heart that something was wrong with Kai. But why would she care if he needed her help? Wasn't he the one who broke her heart?
Oh stuff him! I have better things to do then care about what happens to Kai! Pleo thought, glaring poison at him. But she kept standing there. Argh! Why haven't I moved yet? She growled catching Kai's attention.
His eyes bore into the white haired beauty that was hiding behind her cell door. They both froze in place staring into one another's eyes, not being able to hold back their blushes. They forgot how they kept avoiding each other and sneaking glares in between training… Until Pleo shook it off. She growled like a wild cat and before slamming the door,
"Good night Hiwatari!" She grumbled. The sound of the door echoed through the halls, leaving Kai in silence again.
KAI'S POV
'Sigh' She still hates me. I'm not too fond of that weakling anymore either but… I can't get her out of her head; she haunts me in my dreams. I want her… I need to feel her lips against mine and then maybe I can rid my mind of her!
"You are just pathetic!" Black Dranzer said in disgust. "A mighty blader does not need such things from another human being! And a mighty beyblader is not prone to weakness! You make me sick!"
He was right. I had to fight back the temptation. To be a real blader I had to block all emotions… even lust…
END OF KAI'S POV
"No! No! Please don't hurt me!" Ray could hear a scream coming from down the hall. He put down his photo album of the White Tigers and ran to Raven's room. It was almost midnight and everyone else had an early night. The Neko-jin slammed the door open. His night vision scoped the room for any unwanted intruders. He was ready to attack the dangerous stranger.
But there was nothing. Just a sleeping Raven in her bed, shaking violently.
"Help!" She screamed. Ray went over by bedside, grabbed her shoulder and shook her gently.
"Raven! Raven! Wake up!" Ray pleaded. "It's only a bad dream Raven, wakeup!" A pair of brown gems opened wide. Raven broke into tears and wrapped her arms around Ray's waist. Ray patted her back and brushed her hair. He smiled down at the poor girl. "Don't worry Raven, you're Ok now."
"Ray it was horrible!" Raven cried, more wet droplets coming from her eyes. "I dreamt that Boris would come after me and kidnap me! Then I dreamt he was going to hurt you, big brother and take Max's bit beast away! Then he was going to get Kenny too!"
Ray held her closer. He hated it when he saw Raven like this. She was like a sister, a true friend. He could always speak to her about his worries or Mariah or about Driger. He could always protect her when she was awake, but in her dreams… everyone felt so useless when they saw the spiky haired girl cry right in the middle of the night.
"Raven, don't believe in those dreams." Ray said. "They're just dreams. They don't come true."
"My one about Kai came true." Raven mumbled.
"Yes, but that was one dream." Ray corrected. "There's no chance of another of your dreams coming true." He laughed. Raven stopped crying for the moment and sniffled. "Now go back to sleep. Dream about Santa Claus or finally beating Tyson at beyblading. All right?"
"Ok Ray." Raven laid back down on her bed and closed her tired eyes. Ray took the covers over her shoulders and left the room, closing the door gently. "Goodnight Ray…"
"Good night Raven." Ray smiled. He had a mushy feeling inside, knowing he helped the little girl. But he could not bask in his good deed for long. He heard another knock coming from the kitchen. He narrowed his eyes and went into stealth mode. The door hid him as he peered into the kitchen. "Tyson?"
It was none other then Tyson himself. He was scurrying through the fridge like a small mouse. He took his head out and stared at Ray.
"Huh? Ray! Sorry I woke you." Tyson grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "Just getting a midnight snack!"
Ray had the grin of a chesser cat. Tyson could not fail to amuse him. He was lucky to have the loveable oaf around when he was down.
"It's Ok, I was awake anyway." Ray said. The two took at seat at the kitchen table and Tyson ate some ice cream.
"Want some?" Tyson asked, holding out a spoonful of the creamy dessert.
"No thanks." Ray inclined, waving a hand. "You know you'll have nightmares after eating that."
"Eh." Tyson shrugged. "I don't believe in that. I've been eating midnight snacks for years and I've hadn't had one nightmare because of food! Well there was that dream about Grandpa and the giant eating pizza!"
"O.o Umm… that's… good… I guess…" Ray said, stumped on what to say. What is it with the Granger family and nightmares? Deciding he did not want to discuss Tyson's 'dream', he thought of another subject.
"So it's only a few day still Christmas huh?" Ray said. At the mention of 'Christmas' Tyson's eyes lit up like Christmas lights. "Umm Tyson?"
"IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS! WOOT!" Tyson screamed waving his arms in the air.
"Shh! Tyson you'll wake everyone up! And I just got Raven to sleep after another nightmare!" Ray whispered in an almost angry tone.
"Oh, heh, sorry." Tyson whispered. "Yay!" He whispered again in a high and excited pitch. He was like a child in a candy store. Ray shook his head.
"Same old Tyson." Ray said.
"Oh I know you love me really." Tyson winked with a grin.
"O.O Ok…" Ray trailed off. A saddened expression graced his handsome features, under the aluminise moon. "I wish I could spend Christmas with my folks." Tyson caught the gloomy mood and leaned his head on a hand.
"Yeah me too… but we knew there would be sacrifices to get where we are now. I remember when my Mum would make Christmas dinner with extra gravy turkey… I miss cooking…"
"Ah yes your Mum." Ray sighed dreamily, going into his daydreams. Tyson glared at the blissful Neko-jin and kicked him from under the table.
"Ow!"
"Stop thinking of my mother like that!" Tyson shouted.
"Oh I was not Tyson!" Ray blushed, fidgeting with his hair.
"I know you Ray Kon, if I ever met a ladies man it would be you!" Tyson growled.
"Hey guys can ya keep it down!" Both heads turned to Kenny, standing at his bedroom door. His hair was a mess, not to mention he was in all sorts. "Some of us have spent all night researching and need some rest. Oh and Tyson I don't blame Ray for having thoughts about your Mum."
Tyson's eyes burned aflame at the computer genius, he shook his fist angrily. Ray looked worriedly at Kenny and Tyson backing away from the entire scene. He knew what was about to happen. Tyson took out his trust katana, which he kept under the table encase there was an emergency. Her removed the blade from its sheath and let the moon give it a blinding glow.
"YIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYI!" Tyson screamed the cry of Xena, the warrior princess (A.N: Don't own her.) and chased Kenny around the room like a mad man.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kenny ran as fast as his tiny legs would carry him, with his faithful laptop Dizzi in hand.
"Hey Kenny 'Yawn' what are you screaming for?" The computer asked, but got the reply when Tyson tried to slice her!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! RUN YOU FOOL RUN!" Dizzi screamed.
"RAY SAVE ME!" Kenny begged.
"Umm… I don't know Kenny…."
"PLEASE!" Kenny cried, when the angry Katana swiped at him again.
"All right, all right." Ray took a frying pan from the drawers, ran up behind Tyson and BANG! Tyson was knocked out and was put into a peaceful sleep.
"Oh thank you Ray!" Kenny panted, lying on the floor.
"No problem Kenny." Ray smirked. This Christmas should be interesting… The Neko-jin smiled. Yes indeed this Christmas was going to be a good one with his new friends and family… because the Bladebreakers were his family…
KAI'S POV
Another sleepless night haunts me yet again. Everywhere I look, every thought I have she's there. I am supposed to be the dark knight with the cold stone heart that only beats to keep me going on living. But lust doesn't come from the heart… there's no real feelings in lust. You could lust a person only so much, but the feeling is never real… Yet still I think of the albino… Ugh, I can't believe of all the woman, it had to be that faint-hearted weakling! There's nothing special about her anyway. Except for that smile… damn! But those sapphire eyes… awe shit! Not again! At least with the Bladebreakers I didn't think about them every damn second. She couldn't even beat me when we were nine! This is all her fault! If I never saw her again this wouldn't have happened! I wouldn't be thinking about my parents, or missing the Bladebreakers or- or wondering why my Grandfather never tried to find me…
Oh I can't believe it. Glass tears cut my cheeks, tracing a white mark on my blue triangles. Great, I haven't cried since I was five. Damn! Damn it! Damn everyone and everything! Why do I care about such stupid things! I got what I wanted! The power of Black Dranzer in my hands! But is it really enough?
PLEO'S POV
He looks so sad… but why should I feel sorry for him? He's the one who broke my heart, not the other way around. I can't help wonder why my heart aches for him… God he looks beautiful when he's vulnerable… Ah! No! No, bad Pleo! Argh! Remember what Frostic Dranzer said. Be cool and icy. Like the Snow Queen.
But look at him… I've never seen Kai cry before. It melts my heart… I jumped when Kai turned around. His eyes burned with seriousness and anger. Those same scarlet eyes that would always make a cold shiver run down my spine. But the cold fire didn't burn as brightly as they should have; the running tears had extinguished the flame.
I kneeled down so I was face to face with him. He froze in place, like a frightened child. There was such an innocence in him in that moment, you wouldn't have believed such evil had excised inside Kai. I shyly took my hand out, to wipe his tears from his pale face. His skin felt like fine jade, and I felt the cold wet paint from his face. A blue blur rubbed of my hand, contrasting with my pale skin.
I felt a ruff hand clutching onto mine. Kai's eyes were closed as he stroked my hand on his cheek. He sighed gently. Kai took me onto my feet, still grasping my hand. My skin turned snowy white, when the slate haired boy planted a kiss on my hand. My face turned into fire, as Kai's kisses became more frequent. I tried to pull my hand away, but he had me in an iron grip. My heartbeat pounded on my chest, I made another attempt to break free, but it was useless.
I was pulled in closer and collided into a firm chest. A pair of strong arms snaked around my waist; I grabbed Kai's shoulders and tried to push him away. Before I knew, a pair of warm lips kissed my neck, causing a moan to escape my lips. I didn't know weather to push him away or pull him closer…
I got my answer when Kai pushed me back into a stone wall and pressed his lips against mine. His tongue darted into my mouth, dominating the kiss. I ran my hands through his grey bangs so lovingly. The slate haired boy licked my lips before leading me again in another dance with our tongues. I finally joined in the passionate melody. I never thought I would dance with him like this, never in my dreams… this is what I had wanted… he had me longing for this since the day he left… This is my burning kiss…
END OF PLEO'S POV
"Damn it! Why hasn't he come back yet!" Tyson growled, pacing up and down the room, with a worried glare on his face. "I can't believe he hasn't even called! You would think that by now he would have at least let us know he was all right! But oh no, he has to be the lone wolf again and again! He's been gone for three bloody days!"
"Woah, Tyson, calm down." Max said, putting a hand on the other boy's shoulder. "Relax, Kai can take care of himself, you said so yourself." Max's ocean blue eyes filled Tyson with reassurance. Tyson sighed, lowering his head at the floor.
"It's just, I don't understand… doesn't Kai realise that we care about him? I mean, we try to be friends with the guy and he pushes you away… I don't understand it!" Tyson growled, pulling on his hair.
"Kai will come around eventually." Max informed him. "You wait and see. But in mean time, concentrate on training for the world champion ships. It's in four days you know." Tyson stared at the blue eyed blonde.
"How can you be so calm and reassuring in a time like this!" Tyson asked, banging his head on the nearest wall.
"Hehe, it's my job. I'm the one who looks on the bright side!" Max grinned. "And don't bang your head on the wall. You need all the brain cells you have left in there."
"HEY!"
"Hehehehehehe!" Max chuckled. The two friends for life kept laughed their heads off at nothing, unaware they were being watched. A pair of chocolate brown eyes was watching them, filled with apprehension. She leaned back on her bedroom door, sighing deeply.
He's left the team I just know it! I have to bring him back, or I'll go out of my mind! Raven picked up her black and orange backpack and opened the window. She climbed out and jumped on the nearest branch from a tree. She jumped down like a cat and ran down the street. She didn't know where she was going, but she hoped that Kai was out there somewhere… and hopefully not drawn to dark side… but the poor girl would soon find out what unspeakable horrors darkness could do if it lured a person to it's evil wonders…End of Chapter Ten
