Disclaimer: I dont own Beyblade. I own Omen, Trixie, Drake, Zane, Shana, the teachers, the school, the cops, the students and the PLOT.
Hey everyone. I am sorry about last chapter. it wasnt my best and it was a bit on the crappy/shitty side. i hope this one will turn out better! I am so sorry I haven't updated in ages, I have just been going through a very hard time at the moment and couldn't deal with it all at once. I needed to get counselling or I was pretty sure I'd kill myself. Well, thats my drabble, hope you like...

Previously...
Bryan said picking the rose up. "No matter how compassionate Kai has become, he'd never have a flower lying around. If some one saw it they could think he was a queer."
Spencer sniggered. Bryan examined the rose and found something peculiar. Hidden within the dark red petals was a small black device, half the size of a 5 cent piece.
"Hello," He muttered picking it out, "Now what have we got here? A little camera! Now what would this little fucker be doing in a flower in Kai's apartment? How strange!"
"I don't think that's the only one in here." Spencer said, looking around. "No one would leave only one camera in case it was discovered."

Tala ignored the impulse to bite Trixie's hand and looked over to Hilary and Kai. Hilary shook her head slowly and a tear leaked from her eyes. Trixie released Tala and forced herself between Hilary and Kai and hugged her. Kai gave Trixie a filthy look as she crooned over Hilary then looked at Tala. The red head had suddenly morphed back into his stolid, serious self and waited for Kai. He spoke in low, murderous tones.
"Tala," Kai had made up his mind. "I need a gun."
----
Now...
Tala shared a small smirk.
"A gun huh? I thought you were one of those people who don't like guns in fights?"
"It's just a precaution." Kai replied, "This afternoon, you care to join me for rigorous training and torturous excersise?"
Tala laughed. "Sounds like fun. Omen is really stronger than you huh?"
"You have no idea." Kai growled in hushed tones. "It's weird. I have never lost a fight before. I don't like it. At all."
Tala nodded and looked over to Hilary who was being hugged by both Trixie and Mariah now.
"He attacked her didn't he?"
Tala's tone suggested it was more of an observation than a question.
"Yes."
"I got the weapons at home. Come over after school... well... after you take Hilary home. I know you well enough to know you're taking her back first."
"No."
Both boys looked around and saw Trixie had been there listening in.
"Kai is not taking her home this arvo." She said. "Because she is going home right now. 'Riah, lets go."
Mariah hooked her arm around Hilary's and Trixie took the other. Hilary made to pull away from them but Kai shook his head and smiled softly.
"Go home." He said. "You'll be safer there and wont bump into Omen again."
Hilary nodded and allowed herself to be pulled towards the office by Mariah and Trixie, who both shot him an appreciative glance. The three girls walked through the courtyard towards the Student Office. Kai watched. Hilary was the second person from their group to be sent home that day.
----
Zane wondered through the entire school but couldn't find Omen anywhere. It was like he'd disappeared. Zane turned a corner and walked through the forbidden area between the school building and the back fence met. He looked up and down the area and cursed. He was about to explore further when a voice spoke.
"Where is Omen?"
Zane turned in alarm and saw Drake standing behind him, a serious expression fixed to his face. Zane studied him for a moment. Even though they had been going to school together for the past 6 years, they had never once talked to each other.
"I should I know?" Zane replied. "He's probably taken off. I don't keep tabs on him every second of the day."
Drake gritted his teeth then quickly calmed himself.
"Watch him Zane and becareful what you say. He's a dangerous person to be around."
"I can take care of myself." Zane replied simply. "I've recieved enough warnings already so forgive me if I'm not greatful."
Drake stopped and stared at the teen. Zane shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze.
"Some one else has warned you?" Drake asked.
"That's what I said."
"Who?"
"That Ray Kon guy." Zane said. "The one that hangs out with Kai and Tyson."
Drake thought silently for a moment. Zane felt his own irritation rising. Finally, Drake turned.
"Thanks. Bye."
"Oh don't leave on my account."
Drake stopped and felt a chill run down his spine. He turned and saw Zane also looking back at Omen, who was standing behind his friend with a smirk on his face. Drake shot him a glare then walked away silently. Omen walked up beside Zane and they both watched him leave.
"I don't think I've ever met some one with as many enemies as you." Zane commented.
"You have no idea."
"How on earth do you make so many people hate you?"
Omen smiled, "I'm a people person. So. You ready for tonight?"
Zane grinned. "I've been ready for a long time."
----
Drake walked swiftly through the courtyard towards where Ray and his friends usually sat. He subconsciously noticed Mariah, Trixie, Hilary and Max were missing and that Kai, Tyson and Tala looked thoroughly pissed. Ray was standing with them but showed equal amounts of anger and concern. Shana was sitting near Daichi, looking depressed and anxious.
"Ray!" He called.
Ray, Tyson, Kai and Tala looked over as Drake stopped not too far from them. Ray was surprised but spoke politely.
"Uh, hello Drake."
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked. "In private? It's important."
"Uh, sure."
Ray was a little anxious. He and Drake had never really spoken to each other but when they had, they had always been friendly. Now Drake's tone had changed. He was serious and urgent, as though he was interogating Ray. Kai, Tala and Tyson watched curiously. Ray followed him a few metres from his friends where they were out of earshot. Ray examined his expression. A serious and detirmined look was plastered there, completely different from the witty joker he usually was. Ray didn't even know if it was the same Drake he knew.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I want to know everything that you know about Omen." Drake replied firmly.
Ray was clearly taken aback. He had no idea in how to react to this.
"Zane told me that you warned him about Omen," Drake continued. "Has Omen ever done anything to you? Have you ever met each other before before he came to this school? Tell me, it's important."
"Can I ask why?"
"Just trust me."
"Okay." Ray said hesitantly. "But if you want to know everything, then you'll need the others too. Tyson, Kai and Daichi. Max and Hilary aren't here."
Ray let out a sharp whistle and beckoned his friends.
"All of you?" Drake asked incredelously. "He's done something to all of you?"
Ray nodded quietly. "You have no idea."
"What's up Ray?" Tyson asked, looking at the other boy.
Kai stared at them both curiously. Ray sighed.
"Drake wants to know about everything that Omen put us through."
Silence followed. Drake could feel all their eyes locked on him.
"No way!" Daichi burst out stubbornly, tears welling in his eyes. "He won't believe us and besides, I don't want to have to tell it all over again! It was bad enough having to tell the stupid shrink!"
"Why do you want to know any way?" Kai asked.
Drake looked at him, "That's my business."
"That's where you're wrong." Kai replied. "Because you see, we wont tell you what we know unless you tell us what you know. What happened to us, well that's our business. So you tell us what he did to you first."
Drake sighed and gave a small smile. "Fine. He killed my father a few years ago, when we were only 10 years old. My dad was a cop involved in the raid in which Omen's father was killed and he was arrested. He was sent to jail but only given a light sentence because he was a kid. Omen buttered them all up too. Put on a whole show about how his father had said that the cops would kill him if they caught him so he pleaded it was only in self defence. The coroners report said my dads throat was cut from ear to ear. It wasn't self defence, it was murder. So now that you've heard my story, its your turn to share."
"Interesting." Kai said. "Sorry about your father. Anyway. I met Omen in juvenile hall-"
"I don't know why hearing that you were in juvie doesn't surprise me." Drake said.
Kai smirked and continued. He told Drake the whole story of the ordeal they all suffered through in the forest. Daichi, Tyson and Ray also added in their accounts where Kai wasn't present. Daichi was unable to continue and started his eyes began watering when they came to Kenny's death. Tyson and Ray couldn't speak of it either so Kai explained and went on until the point where Omen went over the cliff.
"Wow," said Drake, "So Omen was the one who killed Kenny. At least the rest of you lived."
"That'll probably change by next semester." Daichi said shakily.
"What do you mean?" Drake asked curiously.
"Omen came here to finsh what he started." Tyson said darkly. "He's attacking us all one by one. Max and Hilary have both been really hurt already and if we even try to go to the police station, he'll kill us. He told Max that he'd kill Shana if he told anyone about what happened to him. Maxy hasn't even told us everything that happened. All we know is what we saw, he was trapped in an air-tight locker."
"So now you know our story." Kai said. "You want anything else?"
"No." Drake said pensively, "I have everything I need."
----
The three pm bell tolled and students burst from their classrooms, desperate to escape their teachers before they could recieve extra homework. Drake and Omen waited at the front of the school, watching parents picking up their children. Omen caught sight of Tala, Kai and Trixie who felt his gaze and looked around. He smirked and winked at them. They glared at him with hate and disgust then left. Omen could see the fear in Trixie but Tala, like Kai, had nothing but raw hate. He turned back to Zane who was looking up and down the street.
"Why are we still here?" Omen asked. "You do want me to do this job don't you?"
"Of course." Zane said. "Here comes our ride now."
Omen looked down the road, following Zane's gaze to a black Bmw M6 Convertable which parked on the curb in front of them. The latest heavy rock music pumped out of the speakers at a deafening level and the man behind the steering wheel waved at the two boys. Omen looked the car up and down then stared at the man. He was in his early twenties, had long black hair tied back in a ponytail and pale skin. He wore a white button up shirt and jeans and black sun glasses. A diamante earring glinted in the sunlight on his left ear and stubble grew on his chin.
"Hey there boys. Get in. Zane, is this your friend?" The mans voice was loud and obnoxious, irritating Omen instantly.
"Hi Ben." Zane said getting into the front passenger seat. "Yeah, this is Omen."
Omen grunted and jumped into the back of the car. Ben cocked an eye brow at him.
"Pleasant little guy aren't you?" He said dryly and drove off. "So. Omen. What do you think of the car?"
"Meh."
Zane hid his smile. Omen looked at Ben's back. His grip had tightened on the wheel and he was obviously annoyed. In a manner of seconds Omen had been able to discover exactly what makes Ben tic. The mans pride in his car was probably on the same scale as Omen's love to kill.
"Omen," Zane said. "This is my cousin. You can trust him."
"I know I can." Omen replied. "I just choose not to. Because frankly, I don't like him."
"Smart arsed little shit." Ben muttered vehemently. "What's wrong with you kid?"
"Six years of prison." Omen said simply. "You?"
"Six years huh?" Ben smiled. "For what?"
"You don't wanna know." Omen said simply.
"But-"
"Drop it Ben." Zane said. "Trust us. You don't want to know."
"Fine." The adult said huffily. "Where do you want to be dropped of?"
"Down town." Zane replied. "Near Club Neon."
"You boys looking for some fun huh?" Ben laughed.
Omen smiled. "You got that right."
----
Kai and Tala parted with Trixie at her house and kept walking. For once Tala and Trixie didn't fight on the way home, which was a pleasant change for Kai. Tala rolled on his skateboard slowly.
"So Kai. For training this arvo what did you have in mind? One on one sparring? Weight lifting? Suicidal amounts of running?"
"All of it."
"Sounds like fun." Tala replied, turning down into his drive way. "We'll get you your gun then head back over to your place."
Tala kicked up his skateboard and walked through the front door. Kai entered behind him.
"I'm home!" Tala yelled, dumping his bag in the lounge room.
"Hey Tala!" Called a woman's voice from the kitchen. "John is just picking up Kayley from the primary school. They should be home soon."
The thirty-six year old woman walked out into the lounge room. She was of average height, slender and pretty. She had shiny blonde hair and emerald eyes. Her skin was fair and had a few sun freckles. Her teeth were bleech white and shown in a friendly smile. In the corner of each of her eyes were two or three laugh lines.
"Hello Kai! It's goon to see you again."
"Hello Mrs Mandez." Kai replied to Tala's adopted mother.
Tala had refused to take the family name, keeping his old name Valkov. In fact, he refused to refer to his adopted parents as mother or father also. He loved them and couldn't call them mum and dad. After all, his original mum and dad had ditched him at Balkov Abbey for money. He couldn't call Lisa and John mother and father or mum and dad if it only reminded him of how much he hated his origial parents. The Mandez's were better than that.
"Please Kai, just call me Lisa." She she cheerfully. "Tala does. Anyway, do you boys want a snack or anything?"
"No thanks." Tala said. "We're both going back to Kai's house in a second. Just came to get some stuff."
"Alright. Be safe then. And be home by at least 7. You have school tomorrow."
"Yep."
Lisa smiled again then walked back into the kitchen. Tala and Kai walked down the creme carpeted hall and turned into the room at the very end. The white painted door was adorned with posters and banners from rock bands and gangs. Across the top of the door was a sign with 'Пребывание вне!' written on it, Russian for 'Keep Out!'. Tala opened the door and they walked into a dark room. The carpet was dark blue and matched the curtains. The walls were white but it was hardly noticed under the numerous posters plastered all over them. Among the posters was a picture of his bitbeast Wolborg. Kai closed and locked the door behind him and the boys went to Tala's large bed which was draped in plain, dark blue blankets and pillows with white sheets. The curtains were drawn over the window, making the room even darker. On the bedside table was a digital clock, a book titled 'The Silence of War' and his beyblade. His clothes drawers were on the other side with a small mirror propped upright on it, beside hair gel and a brush. Next to the drawers was a white painted door, leading to the small personal bathroom.
Tala put his hands on his bed and pushed it at least a metre away. He and Kai dropped to their knees and felt in the plush carpet for an edge. Tala found it and pulled back the flap of cut carpet, revealing a secret compartment beneath. It was metal and had a keypad lock inside a square groove which had a slip of clear plastic over it. Tala opened the plastic and punched in 6 numbers quickly. A small light flashed green and the metal hatch opened, revealing all the weapons Tala had stolen from Balkov Abbey from his twelve year stay. The hatch itself was made from stolen BioVolt technology. Tala reached in and pulled out a Glock 9mm and handed it to Kai.
"I want that back." Tala said. "And try not to waste too much ammo, it's hard to buy when you're only a teenager you know."
Kai raised an eyebrow at him. "You buy your ammo?"
Tala smirked. "Fine. I am tired of stealing it."
"Since when do you ever get tired of stealing?"
"Since the gun shops have decided to up their security." Tala replied, closing the hatch and flopping the carpet back down.
He patted it down so it looked like there were no creases then got up and moved the bed back.
"Let's go." Kai said shoving the gun into his bag.
----
Omen and Zane walked four blocks from where Ben had dropped them off and ducked into an alley. Omen examined the surroundings. Dark, damp and grungy with large industrial garbage bins lining the walls. The only windows he could see were at least twenty metres up and were privacy windows. The alley wasn't very wide. It was only around three metres, but it was long and ended in a dead end.
"Is this the place?" He asked.
"Yes." Zane replied. "Some one will eventually find the body."
"Good." Omen said darkly, admiring the surrounding area. "This is perfect."
