From Author- Thank you to those who reviewed. Everything's starting up here, the real stuff! So, without further ado, I present chapter 12!
I have been in such a wonderful mood this past week. Not just from winning the tournament but from knowing that Kai loves me. He truly did love me. And, I know I wasn't dreaming this love up because I'd always wake up to either a single rose or a bouquet of roses sitting on the table in the hallway outside my room.
But, I suddenly started seeing something dark coming into my bright week.
Out of nowhere, we heard on the news that the BBA were being bought out and someone else was taking over. When we investigated, we found out it was Boris, the guy that was in control of the abbey Tala, Spencer, Bryan and Kai had grown up in. From what everyone told me, he wanted to create an army of beybladers but treated them more like soldiers with a totalitarian dictatorship.
I never even met the guy and I hated him.
Even when I saw his supposed "new self," I didn't believe it. It's just, I know I never met the guy but, how can someone as cruel and heartless as Boris suddenly change? I know it's been two years but still, it just didn't add up with me.
And yet, there's always that "everyone deserves a second chance" thing.
But, anyway, when Boris began showing us around the building, which he now dubbed BEGA (Beyblade Entertainment Global Association), one of his top bladers, named Crusher, challenged Tyson when he wouldn't shut his big, fat mouth. The guy was huge! Like, seriously! Tall, jacked-up, and his launcher looked like a rocket launcher!
How can he actually lift that thing? Let alone launch with it?
Anyway, the battle was won by Tyson, although it was difficult. Boris tried to recruit Tyson and even extended an invitation to me. He began talking to us about going professional.
Professional? With beyblading?
In all honesty, that thought never crossed my mind. But, it was on my mind for the next couple of days, including Tyson's. After a while, we decided to try and find Hiro to get advice from him.
When we went to go look for him, however, we couldn't find him. We did end up running into the Blitzkrieg Boys, excluding Kai. It didn't take a rocket scientist to find out where they were going.
And, you know what? That's where we went too.
We followed them to BEGA, even though they protested, and watched a very dramatic scene go down. They pushed through the security guards at the building and when they saw Boris….the looks on their faces, you couldn't even describe the level of hatred and disgust that was there. Tala looked the angriest and I swear, I thought his eyes turned red at one point.
Well, it turned out that Boris sent one of his top bladers, Garland, to face all three of them. He even bet the stakes of the BEGA Corporation on this guy's win!
Talk about risk or what?
And everyone was shocked to see that he not only took out Spencer and Bryan right in the beginning but, he beat Tala so bad, that he was covered in cuts and bruises and was barely clinging onto consciousness.
I cradled Tala's head in my arms while Tyson began shouting angrily at Boris. Then, he suddenly challenged Boris to take down BEGA! Normally, a rash action like this, I would yell at Tyson. But, considering how pissed I was of what Boris not only did to the BBA, but also what he did to Mr. Dickinson being out of his job and injuring Tala as bad as he did, I had to agree with him. Even though it was actually Garland who injured Tala, I put full blame on Boris.
"Mikayla…" Tala whispered to me, weakly. I looked down at him to see his frail gaze staring up at me. He reached up and grasped my arm, probably meant for it to be a tight grip but considering his condition, it ended up being feather light.
"Be careful when dealing with Boris. He's…" He coughed. "…a dangerous man." I pulled his hand from my arm and laid it gently on his chest.
"Don't worry, Tala. We'll stop Boris." I vowed and I meant every word. All I got in response from him was another small cough and then, he passed out in my arms. I felt a growl escape my lips.
"Max! Ray!" Tyson called out, making me look up. Sure enough, the blonde boy and the Chinese boy came down the steps of the stadium and met up with us by the dish. They had seen the whole thing and were joining us!
That only left….
"Kai!" I gasped out when I saw him coming down towards us. A smile broke out on my face. We had our team back. No one was going to….
Wait, what is Kai doing?
My eyes widened when I saw the next thing he did. I really thought I was dreaming or my eyes were cheating me. Kai barely looked at Tyson and the rest of us and walked over to stand with the BEGA members!
"Kai! What are you doing?" I shouted at him from my kneeling position on the floor, still holding onto Tala. He looked at me and I saw nothing in his eyes.
Absolutely nothing.
What the hell is that all about? What the hell is he thinking?
Rage boiled my insides and if it weren't for the fact that I was holding Tala, I would've gotten up and slapped him in front of everyone.
But, we had to leave because everyone was all distressed about Kai's decision and we also needed to get Tala to the hospital.
Once he was all bandaged and everything, we all headed back to the dojo. Although, the guys had to hold me back from storming over to BEGA.
…Fine, tomorrow is another day.
And boy, when I woke up the next morning (although I think I only had maybe two to three hours of sleep), I grabbed a piece of toast for breakfast and was rushing to get my clothes on when I heard the t.v. from the other room.
"…Jin of the Gale is BEGA's new special coach?" One of the reporters said. My eyes widened and I lost my balance while putting on my jeans which led to me falling on my face. I lay there on the floor for a moment, trying to process what I just heard.
My brother…my own brother…who just came back to us is now leaving us again! And for BEGA!
My anger boiling over once more, I pulled my jeans on and stood up to get the rest of myself ready. Without saying a word to anyone in the house as to where I was going, I stormed out and headed straight for the BEGA building.
"Miss, you can't come in here." A security guard said to me once I ignored his warning and tried to shove past him. I sent him a glare.
"I don't care, I need to get in there." I said and tried going in again but the guard, and the second guard next to him, both grabbed me, preventing me from doing so.
"Let go of me!" I demanded, trying to push them off. It was no use. They were stronger than I was but that didn't mean I couldn't hit them where it hurts!
"Enough." Someone's voice called out before I had a chance to kick them where the light don't shine. All three of us stopped struggling to see who it was. I looked to see Hiro, wearing red sunglasses and had a stern look on his face. My face held a glare.
"Let her go. I will allow her to come in." Hiro said and after a moment's hesitation, the guards let me go and I shoved past them. I didn't even give my brother a second glance or even a "thank you," I just completely ignored him and walked into the building.
"Umm…you're welcome?" Hiro said, following right behind me. I ignored his question and asked one of my own.
"Where is Kai?" He stopped and folded his arms.
"What makes you think I'll tell you since you're being so rude to your big brother?" My eyes narrowed.
"I am not talking to my big brother at the moment. I'm talking to a jack-ass in my brother's body that ditched his own flesh and blood again after we had just got him back!" I shouted at him. Silence fell among the two of us and finally, a slow sigh left my brother's lips.
"You'll find him in the gym. Keep going down this hall and you'll reach it." And with that, he just left. Just like that! What the hell?
Huffing angrily, I stomped down the hall and made my way into the gym. Since it was so early, there weren't many people there. But, in the corner, by the weights, I saw Kai in a black tank and work-out shorts. Pushing the thought of how good he looked from my mind, I stormed over. He must've heard me coming because he turned around and his eyes widened slightly when he saw me. I wasted no time in getting to my point.
"Kai, what the hell were you thinking? How could you betray your teammates like that?" I asked, giving him a glare. Kai gave a sigh through his nose. He must've been expecting me to come and ask him this.
"You should know why, Mikayla. It's for the same reason I left the team before the world championships." He replied. I stared at him. Is he serious right now?
"Are you kidding me? This is all to battle Tyson again? Kai, this situation is completely different from the championships! This isn't some friendly competition! This is for the whole future of blading!" I said, my voice rising slightly. My temper was also rising. Kai was pissing me off.
"Look, this is something I have to do, Mikayla. You understood before so, why can't you understand it again?" He asked, his voice rising slightly as well. Oh hell no! How dare he! He has no right to get angry at me!
"Because it's not right, Kai! You should know that!" I yelled. Yes, I was yelling now because Kai was really pissing me off. Kai glared at me.
"Who the hell are you to tell me what's right and what's wrong?" He spat, that angry red glint in his eyes becoming visible. That's it, I've had enough of his excuses.
Slap.
"How's that for right and wrong?" I roared, glaring as Kai put his hand on the now slightly reddened cheek. I was expecting him to get angry, to yell and scream at me, and I was prepared for it but, he didn't. Instead, he looked shocked and slightly hurt at my action.
"Mikayla…I…" He started but I put my hand up to silence him.
"Save it, Kai. I don't ever want to see or talk to you again and don't you dare talk to me ever again because we're through!" I yelled, turning on my heel and stomping off. I was so angry that tears were begging to come out but I wouldn't let them.
When I stopped halfway down the hall back towards the entrance to catch my breath and regain my self-control, I thought I felt eyes on me. Thinking it was Kai following me, I stomped off and out of the BEGA building, leaving Kai…and my broken heart behind.
From Author- Oh boy! First, they confess and now, break-up? Oh my, this is tragic, ain't it?
So yes, I made that happen.
Oh and if people are wondering, there is nothing going on with Mikayla and Tala! They're just learning to respect each other and starting to see each other as good friends. They're going to have a more sister/brother relationship.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Please review!
