Hi ya guys and girls! Thanks a lot to Cutetyhil, Nancy, Subha, Devi, Aksha, Kyle summers and Guest for reviewing. And here I'm with a new chappie.
P.S- To all who are waiting for Angel's cry, you've to wait more. The story is yet to be constructed properly though I've the whole idea of the story.
Caution- scenes may change drastically from KaiElena to TalJul. And maybe a bit mushy and lovey dovey type...
"..." means talking.
'...' means thinking.
(...) means what the writer thinks.
Disclaimer-I don't own Beyblade nor its characters but my OCs and the plot. On with the story.
Chapter 11
(It's almost a week after Elena's Birthday.)
The students of the 12th grade poured out in the vast playing area. All in jerseys and shorts.
"Hey guys, what about a basketball match." Riley asked her friends.
"Yeah, that a good idea." Julia agreed.
"Well then I suppose Kai won't be playing." Tala said.
"Why?" Elena asked as she dribbled the ball.
"Because Kai is the champ and no one could beat him...yet." Michael said as he saw Kai entering.
'Champ, huh... let's see champ or chump...' Elena thought as she approached Kai.
"So Mr. Champion, a one-on-one match?"
"Really? So eager to lose?" Kai said as he smirked.
"No, so eager to make you lose." Elena said in a challenging tone as the challenge sparkled in her blue eyes.
"Don't cry after I beat you."
"As if you will bring me tissues."
"If you ask."
XxX
The whole grade 12 surrounded the basketball court. Whisperings and murmurings could be heard like, 'Is Elena mad to challenge Kai.' 'She will definitely lose' and so on.
The referee whistled and the game started. Currently the ball was in Kai's hands. Elena was trying to grab the ball and finally did when Kai turned his head to look at the person who called him. It was Lucy.
Kai made a disgusting when Elena easily threw the ball in the basket. 'Lucy... you...' Kai was currently cursing all filthy words to Lucy.
'I should thank her.' Elena said as she continued to dribble the ball to the basket. But this time Kai glided and no sooner than the ball was in his hand than he bowled the ball in the basket. Cheers erupted and everyone watched curiously as the match continued. All were excited. Elena was proving to be a good competitor to the champion. They were wet in sweat but determination was shining in their eyes.
"Hey Julie, you never told Eli was a good player." Tala told as he watched the game in eager.
"Ever asked?" Julia said before rolling her eyes.
"Eli used to be the French basketball team's captain. But 2 yrs back she left the position due to some problem." Riley explained as she chuckled.
"Hey look there..." Michael pointed when the match turned more interesting.
Elena's head shot up in surprise when Kai grabbed the ball. The ball slipped out of her hand as she felt Kai's fingers slightly grazed her skin.
As Kai threw the ball Elena made a high jump and stopped the ball from going in the basket. She played with the ball as she saw Kai getting frustrated every second.
"What happened champ... on the way to become a chump?" Elena mocked as the ball went back and forth in her hands.
"Cut the crap Enna." Kai growled as he tried his best to grab the ball. 'Man this girl is proving good... I've to beat her.'
"Yea... your fans will leave. The Kai Hiwatari will have no one following him. Sad one." she said as she smirked and finally the ball was in the basket. The referee whistled and the match ended. Everyone cheered and the players dropped with exhaustion.
"Way to go Eli!" She got up as she heard Tala and Michael cheer. She smiled and looked at Kai, who had stood up by then, with a look of victory.
"You beat him girl." Julia patted on her shoulder while Riley hugged her.
"Jeez Rye, I'm all sweat." Elena said as she shoved Riley off.
"Oops, sorry."
The boys went to Kai. "Remember the promise?" Tala asked as he crossed his hand at his chest.
"Which promise?"
"Don't be innocent Kai." Michael said as he smirked.
"Yea yea."
XxX
Kai went to the cerulean eyed girl in the parking lot. She was waiting for her friends.
"Hi Kai." She smiled as he approached him.
"Tomorrow, wait for me at 9 in the morning." Kai said and as he was about to go Elena called him.
"Hey what do you mean to wait..." then something clicked in her mind as she registered his words. "?A-are you takin-taking m-m-me to a d-dd-a-a-t-date?" she said as she stuttered. 'God Elena fuckin' stop stammering. He asked only for a date. But still... he asked for a date...'
"Got any problem?" Kai asked to which she nodded a no. "So be ready."
Elena was totally confused. What the hell was that? Did he really ask her for a date? Is this a dream?
"Confused?" she turned around to see Michael and Tala leaning against a car. They straightened as she turned around.
"What do you mean?"
"Almost a year ago we asked Kai when he was going to date a girl. Then he got irate and finally told he would date the first girl who will beat him in basketball. And since you the only on to beat him, he according to his promise asked you out." Michael explained.
Elena mouthed o as she was jumping inside. She was going to date the famous Kai Hiwatari. 'Stop it Elena, it's just a date. Nothing more and nothing less... but still...'
XxX
Elena was walking back and forth on the porch waiting for Kai. She was standing there after convincing Jules and Rye about her getup. The two got... just say too much excited when they heard that Kai asked Elena out. The squeals were deafening.
Elena snapped out of her thoughts as she heard the horn of Kai's Lamborghini. She walked to him as she slightly raised an eyebrow seeing the roof of the car off. She shrugged that thought off as she sat in and smiled at him.
Kai heart nearly missed a beat as he saw the black haired girl. She looked so natural and just a fairy. The normal orange halter top which ended just below her belly button and an orange skirt which flowed up to her knees; made her look all natural and still too gorgeous. Not to forget her open hair and just a wrist watch. He started to think if he really liked the girl... no, he can't.
"What happened?" Elena said as she waved a hand near his eyes who had forgotten to blink for the time being.
"No... Nothing." And he drove off.
"So where are going?" she asked after sometime as she stood to lean against the front pane making her hair blow furiously. The speed of the car also increased as the Hiwatari saw she was enjoying it.
"The new amusement park that had opened recently."
"Really?" her face brightened. "No mushy candle light dinner or walking hand in hand in a park?" she mocked.
"You want that type of date. Well because I never thought you to be of that type." Kai asked as he was confused.
"Don't panic handsome. I wasn't serious."
"Handsome?"
"Didn't like it? Okay then... oaf?"
"No, handsome is better." Kai said as he felt himself to blush slightly.

"Seriously? Why Riley had to go shopping? And you had to come here." Julia said as she saw Tala sitting across her in the rec room.
"So you don't want me to be here. Then I suppose I should go. I thought you would be getting bored." Tala was about to leave when Julia grabbed his wrist.
"What? You'll leave just like that. You are also my friend. Stay here." Julia said as a thought passed her mind. 'Maybe more than that.'
"Let's see a movie." Tala raised an eyebrow at Julia. 'Quick change. Damn I like this girl.'
"The Texas Murder..." (I don't know if there's even a film like that. i just made it up)
"No..." Julia whinnied at Tala's suggestion.
XxX
"Wow! I'm really enjoying it." Elena exclaimed as they climbed off another ride.
"So you're enjoying... at least." Kai sighed as he tried hard to control the girl beside him. Still he felt happy that she was enjoying. After knowing her past he never wanted the girl to even drop a single tear.
"OKAY! Now the roller coaster!"
"What do you think about having something to eat now. It's noon."
"Ooo... no problem."
XxX
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Julia screamed as another man fell down dead. She jumped on Tala's lap who was sitting just beside her.
"Oohh... easy Jules..." he said as he caught her by waist. She ducked her head on his chest as her voice came in muffles.
"Tala please switch off the TV... please..."
"Okay... okay... I'm switching it off." He switched off and then held up her head. He entwined his fingers in her dual hair and said softly, "Calm down Jules, it's all okay..."
She nodded. When she looked into his icy blue eyes, her fear vanished as she felt like melting in those eyes.
Her own jade green eyes were softening the heart of the red-head. Unconsciously they leant forward as their lips met in a soft kiss. They pulled apart but the breaths were mingling, they gazes were locked and faces were only centimetres apart.
"I-I am sorry... I didn't mean to-" Julia's to-be-apology was cut off as Tala silenced her.
"Shh... but I meant to."
"Huh?"
"Yes... I really love you Julia Fernandez." Julia was taken aback by the confession.
But she surprised him by circling her hands round his neck and pulling him into another kiss.
As she pulled apart, "I love you too."

"Two chicken sushi please." Kai ordered as they sat down in the restaurant.
"Well Kai you're sure you aren't Japanese." Elena asked the third time since they entered the park. Kai's knowledge about Japanese was amazing though he had told her that he wasn't Japanese.
"Enna, for the fourth time, no."
"Then what you are?" her tone was like 'then what kind of creature you are?'
"Russian." Before Elena could anything more the waiter had arrived with the sushi.
As they were eating, "Can you speak Russian?"
"Don't talk with food in your mouth. First eat then ask."
"Tell me first."
"Yes."
"Say something in Russian..." she trailed off softly and she saw Kai leaning towards her. Her heart rate increased as her eyes dilated. 'Is he gonna kiss me? No he won't. Kai please move back.'
Kai smirked as he saw her getting nervous. His thumb grazed over her skin at the side of lips as he removed the food particle that had stuck there.
Elena mentally slapped herself as she felt herself blushing. She turned her face away.
"Ya lyublyu tebya." He said softly. 'Did I just say that? God, damn this girl. I hope she doesn't know the meaning.' Kai was really in disbelief of what he said to her.
"What? It was Russian? What does that mean?" Elena asked but she saw Kai getting up.
"We gotta go Enna."
(They are driving out from the park... it's evening now.)
"That was really fun Kai. I never thought a date could be so interesting." Then she noticed that Kai had taken a different turn. "Hey Kai, that's not the way back. Where are we heading to?"
"Sakura Bridge."
"Why-" she never got to question as they reached the place. People had gathered there. The duo got down the car. Elena's eyes widened in realization. Today was the date of fireworks by the Sumida River.
The fireworks had started. The sky was filled with different fireworks. Starmine, warimono, pokamono, katamono and many more. It looked like the sky was raining colours and lights.
As the fireworks ended, Elena hugged Kai tightly as she was jumping around.
"Stop jumping around like a spring."
"OH Kai YOU ARE THE BEST! Ya know I wanted to see this since a long time! You are the best and this was the best date ever!"
"It's 10 am now. Let's go back."
They were going back. The breeze was flowing, which lulled Elena in a sweet bliss. The day was really fun.
Before she slept completely, Kai heard her murmuring. "What is the meaning of ya lyublyu tebya?"
Kai smiled, "You'll get to know it someday Enna."
Phew! I'm exhausted. Writing 2k+ words is tiring.
'Ya lyublyu tebya' means 'I love you' in Russian :)
Pardon me if I mentioned anything wrong about the Japanese food and fireworks. I don't know about these things and wrote whatever I got on net.
