*I do not own anything.*
Her P.O.V.
Well eating pizza, Tyson filled Kai and I in about being attacked by the Demolition Boys and them stealing Max's Dracel. Then how they met up with Robert and the gang, where Tyson was forced to battle Robert till he won. Tyson also decided to change our deal. If I lose, I still have to stay in bed, but Kai would have to battle in my spot. Max decided that with out Dracel, that he's no match for the Demolition Boys, so we need three bladers. Kai agree'd to the deal and I smiled at him.
Hilary nudges me lightly and gives me a knowing smile. I blush and look at my pizza, causing her to laugh lightly. Tyson tells me in between chews of pizza, that tomorrow will be our battle. I nod finishing my pizza and head to my room. That means I'm going to need to train. I toss my clothes onto my bed and search for some training clothes to change into. I hear the door open behind me and assume its Hilary. I hear Hilary bump into something and turn to see Kai.
Is he blushing? He hurries and turns his back to me. "Sorry, I thought you were upset." I remember that I'm only in my bra and panties and turn bright red as well and hurry to get dress. I pull some yoga pants on and a tank top, then a sweater over top. I try to play cool that Kai just saw me in my underwear, even though he's seen me in a worse state. I shiver at the memories. "Its okay. I'm dressed now." He turns to look at me, his cheeks still red. I walk over to him and place a hand on his cheek, he still tenses at my touch, but relaxes and places his hand on top of mine. I get that strange urge to lean up and kiss him again and feel butterflies in my stomach. I glance at his lips and them look into his eyes and blush.
His P.O.V.
I feel like Meilin is upset so I followed after her to her room. I didn't think I'd walk in on her changing. I hurry and turn away once she notices me. My body feels like its on fire and my heart is racing, as if I've just did some intensive training. I hear her tell me that she's dressed and turn back around to face her. I watch her as she makes her way over to me and places her hand on my cheek. I tense up, but relax quickly. Her hand seems cool against my warm face. I place my hand on top of her's, her hand is so soft.
I notice her look at my lips and then her eyes lock on to mine. Her eyes are mesmerizing. Staring into her eyes was like getting lost in a sea. They were as blue as the ocean. I automatically, wrapped my free arm around her and pulled her closer and leaned into her. I felt her lift up to meet me, as our lips lightly touched.
I closed my eyes and pulled her against me tighter, causing her to gasp. I loosen my grip and pull my lips away to see if she was alright. I need to remember that she has cuts and bruises all over her. She looked up at me, her cheeks bright red and she leans up and presses her lips against mine with more force. I rub my thumb against her hand on my cheek and she holds my other hand with hers.
This was the most sweetest thing I have ever experienced. Who knew this would feel so amazing? She pulls back and rests her head against my chest. Moving her hand from my face and to my shoulder. I gently wrap my arms around her. "Kai?" She doesn't look up. "Hmm?" "Will you train me for my battle against Tyson?" I nod. "Sure. When?" She looks up at smiles at me. "Now?"
I can't help, but smile back at her. We exit her room together and tell the others that we're going to go train. Rae and Tyson think it would be a good idea to come too. We leave Hilary, Max and the boy with the laptop in the room.
Her P.O.V.
As I head out to train with Kai, Rae and Tyson, all I can think about is that Kai and I kissed. I blushed at the memory as I enter the elevator with the guys. Tyson seems to notice my blush and raises a brow at me. "Are you okay? Not getting sick are you." I quickly shake my head and look at my feet.
The hotel we're in has a training room in it and we all decide to train in there. There is a ton of bey dishes scattered across the room. As well as a weight area set up in one corners and treadmills in another corner. Kai and I head to one of the dishes, and Tyson and Rae head to another.
Kai and I launch our blades into the dish and start clashing against each other. We've never battled against each other before, but we knew that both of us had a phoenix bit beast. His being fire and mine being ice. Kai didn't waste any time calling Dranzer and I followed suit by calling out Snowy. As fire met ice, steam seemed to form around us. Battling Kai made me feel more alive. He was a strong blader.
Our blades kept clashing, giving everything we got. I was starting to feel drained, but I wasn't about to give up. Dranzer was shooting fiery feathers at Snowy, and Snowy was barely dodging. "Snowy, Blizzard!" I called out to my blade and the temperature started to drop. Snow started to fall in our dish as it kept getting colder. Then the wind whipped up, blowing snow all around. Making it hard to see the dish. This seemed to surprise Kai. He tried to get Dranzer to do a fire attack, but the blizzard kept blowing out his flame.
We ordered are blades to attack, causing them to hit each other at such a force that it caused a blinding light. Once the brightness went away, I saw both our blades were knocked out of the dish and not spinning. "You're not that bad. " Kai said as he handed me my blade. I smiled at him and took a seat on the bench. "I'm pooped." I said with a sigh. That battle took a lot out of me.
Once we all had enough of training, we headed back up to our room. I was starting to feel stiff, but didn't let Tyson see it. I didn't want him to call off our challenge. When we got back to our room, I let the others know that I was going to go for a salt bath. I turned the water on in the en-suite I shared with Hilary, and waited for it to be the temperature that I liked. Then I plugged the tub and poured some epson salt into the tub. I then undressed and slowly lowered myself into the water. I gasped in pain once the water touched the cuts on my legs. I gripped onto the side of the tub as the water levels reached my stomach. I lean forward to turn the water off once it got high enough. All my cuts below water level stinging and burning. I then took a deep breath and leaned back into the water, letting the rest of my cuts get clean. I relaxed as the stinging started to go away and enjoyed the hot water, before unplugging the tub and stepping out. I wrapped a towel around me and ended up lying in bed, I felt so relaxed and comfortable that I ended up falling asleep.
His P.O.V.
Meilin seemed to have been in there a long time, I've been glancing at her bedroom door for the last five minutes. Hilary must have noticed and said she's going to check on her. The others nodded as she got up and went, giving me a smile as she left. Hilary came back a moment later and let us know that she was sleeping.
Tyson grinned at me. "Must have took a lot out of her during training." He then laughs. "She's going to need all the strength she's got to beat me. I'm not going to go easy on her." Hilary narrows her eyes at the boy and hissed. "Tyson." He just seems to shrug her off, which caused Hilary to roll her eyes.
It was getting late and everyone was getting tired. I didn't even think where I would stay for the night. Hilary and the kid with the laptop, who I found out was Kenny, had already headed to bed. Max was the next to head to bed, leaving me with Rae and Tyson. "Hey, Kai?" It was Rae. "Hmm?" He looked at Tyson and then back at me. "Do you have a place to go?" I shook my head. "The abbey was the only place I had." Tyson stood up and loudly declared. "Then its settled. You're staying here." Rae seemed to rub his forehead due to Tyson. "You don't mind sleeping on the couch, do you?" Tyson asked, coming back to earth. "I don't mind." With that settled, they both went to bed. Rae came back handing me a extra blanket and pillow, then went back to his room.
I curled up on the couch. Its been along couple of days, but its the first time I've actually felt alive. I thought about how different life would be now and how freedom felt. I just hope that the Bladebreakers were strong enough to defeat the Demolition Boys, or this freedom of mine would be short lived.
Her P.O.V
I woke up early to get ready for my match against Tyson. I was pumped. Today wasn't only my match against Tyson, but after it was going to be Rae's match against the Demolition Boys. Today was going to be full of excitement and hopefully celebrations. I hurry to get dressed and rush down to the buffet to grab some breakfast.
I was surprised to find Kai and Rae already awake and in the buffet as well. I grabbed a tray and some food then I go and sit with them. Kai was giving Rae some pointers on his up coming match. After we finished eating, we headed back to the training room. Kenny had caught up with us and decided he's like to collect data on a battle between Rae and Kai, if Kai was up to it. Kai agreed and they both headed to a dish.
I sat on a bench beside Kenny and watch the match. They were both very strong bladers and weren't holding anything back. I could hear Kenny typing away and talking to Dizzy excitedly. They most be gathering some pretty good stats from this match. In the end, Kai beat Rae, but it was a really close match. Kenny then took Rae's blade and went to do some repairs and upgrades on it for his up coming match.
Tyson finally arrived shortly after, ready for our match. Kenny turns his laptop to record our battle, letting Dizzy analyze while he works on Rae's blade. Tyson and I stand across from each other. He loads his blade while I put in my ear phones and then load my blade into my launcher. Rae decides to be our ref and does the count down for us. When he yells "LET IT RIPPPPP!" Tyson and I pull our rip cords, releasing our blades into the dish. I then press play on my iPod.
I find it easier to focus on the battle with inspiring music, I'm Not Going Down by Jonathan Evans, happens to be blasting in my ears. I'm going to give it my all, knowing that Tyson won't hold back form me and I wouldn't want it any other way. I close my eyes, Tyson is probably giving me a weird look. I center myself and let the music take me away. Snowy and I have a deep mental connection, during our training together we have learnt to battle with instinct. Making the other blader think they have the upper hand, by thinking that we seem unfocused. My blade and I tend to go to the music I listen to.
I can feel Tyson's Dragoon attacking my Snowy, and Snowy on the defense. We both wait for an opening where he is completely open. Once that moment comes, I surprise Tyson by opening my eyes and Snowy going in for the attack with her Icy Needles, with out me having to say anything. Snowy then picks up the wind, making it freezing cold, still going in on the attack. Tyson's blade seems to be on the run and in search of an opening to finish this match fast. We won't let him get that chance. Too much is on the line for us. Snowy slams into Dragoon one last time, hitting him with enough force and knowing him out of the dish.
Tyson picks up his blade and grins at me. I remove my iPod and grin back at Tyson as I catch my blade as it returns to me from the dish. "Who knew you were so good?" I stuck my tongue at Tyson. "As I said, I have something I need to prove." Once the adrenaline of the match started to leave my body, I knew I had over did it. Pain stretched through out my body, but I kept a smile on my face, not to let the others notice. Just once more day, I can do this.
