Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade. Only my OC and the plot.
Katya
A school bag with a diary and a few pictures; a blade and a launcher that were safely locked up in a box which was placed in the innermost pocket of the bag. This was only thing that kept me connected to my past. It's contents were now spread open on the bed.
A photograph of two children, a boy and a girl, about two years old playing with the spinning top, some thing that changed their lives, was lying in front of me. I picked up the photograph to look at it more closely. I moved my finger along the words written in the white space below the picture. Those words sent chills down my spine. No matter how many times I had seen this picture, it creeps me out every time I look at it.
The life I'm living is a lie, everything I've told my friends is a lie.
Mr. Dickenson took you in. That isn't a lie, Zerona's voice echoed in my ears. I didn't reply.
It's true Mr. D took me in. He made me promise that I would forget my past and live a new life.
But what did he do? Threw me back into my past.
He knew there would be questions. I had to lie to get past them. What did I do to deserve this?
There was knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked as I shoved the contents of the bag back into it.
"Ray"
Ray? I opened the door to let him in.
"Kai is leaving for Russia tomorrow morning," he stated.
"I know."
"So... What do you think?"
"Me? What should I think?" I shrugged.
"There's nothing you have to tell him?"
I was silent for a moment. "No." I finally said.
"That's it?" he asked.
"Yeah. That's it."
"Fine then. Good night." With that Ray left the room.
[General POV]
A week before...
Kai sighed as he walked out of the dojo with his hands in his pocket. Those idiots will never change, he thought. He could still hear Tyson and Daichi fighting over a pizza!
He walked into the backyard where he saw Katya tinkering with her blade.
He stopped to look at her for a moment.
At first, he thought it was her looks that pulled him to her. He thought what he felt for her was attraction. No, there was something else that made him fall for her. He didn't fall for her the moment he saw her, like Dranzer had told him. It took him some time to understand his feelings for her.
She understood him unlike anybody else. She gave him all those small happy moments he kept missing in life in that short time she has been with him. No one knew about the time they had spent together. No one knew about the thoughts they shared. It was very easy for him to talk with her.
He could be a grouch, but she didn't care. She would lift his spirits and he couldn't complain anymore.
She wasn't perfect, but she was perfect for him.
But he knew something about her that disturbed him. Why should she lie to him? Did something happen that has to be kept a secret, even from him?
"Kai...?" she said putting her blade down, "You've got to help me with this. I think I messed up."
"That is Kenny's work. It's obvious you'll mess it up," Kai said walking towards her.
"I know. Sometimes I think I'm so good at working with blades." she said as she tried to swap the parts back into position, "I should just give this to Kenny."
"Good for you." Kai said. He sat down beside her.
"How come I haven't seen you in any tournaments before?" Kai asked Katya.
Katya sat there silent.
He spoke, "You're very powerful and power comes with training, doesn't it?"
"Yes. Of course. That's what I did," Katya said. She brushed a strand of hair from her face, "As far as I remember." She shrugged.
"You're interesting. You have a secret you don't want to reveal." he said.
"You okay Kai?" She put her palm on his fore head, "You don't have fever. Then what is it?"
Kai shook his head, "I'm fine."
"Did I do something Kai?" Katya put her hand on his.
"You did and you know that too," he said and pulled his hand away from her.
"I just wanted everybody to be happy and cheerful. I didn't mean to force you or anything. I only thought you'd feel better," she said staring at the ground.
"Feel better huh? How do you know what will make me feel better?"
"Kai what's wrong with you?" she frowned.
Kai was acting strange. She realized Kai knew something about her and that was apparent. Even the day before he acted strange. He didn't say a word to her all day.
"Nothing. Carry on."
He left. Katya wanted to cry. Tears welled up in her eyes. What happened?
She wanted Kai to smile, she wanted him to be happy. She wanted to give him everything he didn't have in his life. Was that wrong? He was her past, her present and now she wanted to share her future with him.
Back to Katya's room (present)
Katya
He doesn't want me in his life. So I'm going to be just another friend. I'll stop bugging him. That will be better for the both of us.
You give up that easily? Zerona asked her master.
Maybe. But let me give him a proper send off first.
You need a psychiatrist. You've no idea what you're doing.
I ignored Zerona's remarks. But even I knew that was true. I did need a shrink.
When I knocked at Kai's door, it opened. Kai left the door open and went out. Well, I couldn't find him inside anywhere.
I looked around curiously since it was the first time I entered his room.
That was when I spotted something near his computer and my knees became weak. They buckled under me and I fell to the ground.
He knew about it all along. Mr. Dickenson told Kai everything. I picked up the papers that lay beside his printer. They were print outs of documents and photographs. My profile was among them too.
He knew I lied to him, to everybody! Yet, he kept quiet.
"Katya..." Kai was standing behind me with his hands folded across his chest, "I knew you would come."
I know too much suspense can be a little irritating. But bear with me pls!
Asking the right questions is very important. That is what I got in one of my reviews, the right questions and I'm kind of glad and thanks.
Believe me! But I do have logical answers to all of those questions. You just got to have some patience and read on to find the answers.
I've already said this my first attempt at writing a fanfic. So I'm bound to make mistakes.
I don't regret making mistakes, because I do learn from them! I'm trying my best to improve.
Once again I thank everybody who has reviewed and my readers! :-D
