AD: I'd just first like to thank my reviewers, reviews are treasured! And
now that that's finished it's time to move on, to the actual story, but not
before the disclaimer which Kai's gonna say.
Kai: *Glares and turns away*
AD: *Turns to look at Raven smiling sweetly*
Raven: Don't look at me, I'm not gonna say it, why don't you get that new muse you were talking about?
AD: That was a little purple winged thing and it flew away after I opened the cage for it to give me some inspiration, I guess they only last once. *pouts* Anyway, na na na naaa na to you Heero, I did make sense, one of my reviewers told me so!
Heero: She doesn't own Beyblades, or me for that matter, and the only reason I'm saying this disclaimer is cause I want her to shut up!
AD: HEY!
Irvine: *Puts hand over her mouth, you can hear chains of muffled curses still* Onto the story.....
Chapter Two : Surveyed Weakness
Serena watched as the leader of the Blade Breakers fell into a peaceful slumber, it was amazing how different he looked when he wasn't awake, the threatening air surrounding him dissipated until it you would be amazed to find that it was ever there during the day.
She watched his chest rising and falling, his breathing even, and whole appearance relaxed.
A small smile danced across her lips as her gaze ran down his sleeping form. It became a sad sort of smile as a lone thought flitted through her mind.
Untouchable.
After their teams had joined two months ago to have the right number of people to compete in the Spanish tournament, leadership of the former Silver Bladers had passed from Amille to Kai.
And now they were in Australia, a couple of weeks before the tournament in Sydney.
She rolled away from the urge to run her fingers through his silky blue hair, and closed her eyes tightly, finding it harder to fall into sleep.
Hours passed, and dawn broke over the city. Kai woke and stretched, turning his attention to the time.
The clock beside him read 5:26 am and he smirked at it. He had been the only one besides Serena and Callie to adapt to the time difference, but then in truth he didn't really need to sleep much, and Callie and Serena had spent most of their lives in Australia.
He turned his attention to the still sleeping figure and reached out a hand, trailing it slowly down from her forehead to her cheek, to smooth the frown that creased against her forehead.
She smiled, responding to his touch reactively and Kai pulled his hand away as she mad to grasp it. A beautiful pout flickered across her face and then melted away as she obviously dreamed about something happy.
He wondered what it was that she was dreaming about, what it was that could have her pouting one minute and then smiling the next.
Angry at himself he moved past the bed and stalked into the bathroom, his thoughts raging.
She does make me weak. He thought angry at himself for letting his guard drop, even for a second.
He stepped into the shower, turning on the water until it was warm only, letting it run down his body, and run his thoughts away with it.
He exited the bathroom, having changed back into his trademark black top and blue pants.
He stopped beside Serena's bed and picked up the glass of water that sat on the table beside it, testing it with a finger. It was freezing, chilled by the night. He poured it over her head, jolting her into reality before putting it back on the table.
She glared at him as he walked away before sighing and getting to her feet, walking to the bathroom after glancing at the clock.
5:40 was the time upon the screen and she sent one more glare to the door where Kai had exited, poking her tongue out at the empty space before opening the door to the bathroom and entering.
Exiting the shower five minutes later, tugging on a black tank top, and white cargo pants. She listened to the shouting from Tyson and Celia at Kai obviously, something about them not going to pay for a door before clipping on a black choker necklace and looking at the image she made in the full length mirror attached to the door of the wardrobe frowning.
Dark circles ringed her eyes, a result of the lack of sleep from the night before. Sighing once more she left the room, to join the others in the lounge area.
Walking out she found Callie cooking breakfast, fixing Kai; who stood at the doorway leaning against the wall, with a murderous look.
Shaking her head lightly she sat down on the sofa, watching as every one filed out and Callie began to serve breakfast. Standing and walking to the table with the others she sat and chatted lightly with them, watching Kai still leaning against the wall out of the corner of her eye.
A tide of emotions swept over Kai as he watched Serena talking to Ami who had just sat down and was shooting him dirty looks. It dragged him down, leaving him breathless for a moment, encouraging and destroying him at the same time.
Fighting for control he straightened slightly as the tide eased and he turned away from Serena's questioning eyes, trying to shut them out, forever.

AD: Well, how was that chapter? And no, we don't want any comments from you. *says turning to face her five tied up muses*
AD: I'll try and get the next chapter up soon, but while you're waiting, reviewing's a nice past time.
The fifth and so far forgotten muse: Who'd read it?
AD: *whacks him over the head with a book.* Not so funny now are you. *mutters*
Kai: *Glares and turns away*
