AD: Ok, well I'm back with another chapter. First I'd like to state that Heero, Kai and Raven lied about my Christmas present!

Heero: We didn't, as Kai has already stated, we promised to be nice to you for two weeks, we never said which two weeks, or whether they would be consecutively.

AD: Whatever, it still means that I don't get a proper present, cause you guys were nice to me some days before anyway. Now to reviews cause I'm not going to delay you guys when I took ages to write this while I'm not feeling well.

Bloody hell: Ok, well I updated.

Amanda Panda: Thanks, I'm glad you loved it. I hope you had a Merry Christmas too.

Rei Aianamy: Yes, they kissed didn't they. Glad you loved it, and they might be hooking up soon, it depends. Thank you. Feliz Ano Novo! I've updated too btw. (in case you hadn't noticed.)

Purra: * Snatches the hypnotisey thingey from her view as Kai grabs her tail and pulls her back. * I don't care if it's pretty Purra, you aren't meant to be destroying my hypnotisey thingey. * scolds Purra * It does doesn't it. * snickers * * confused * I did, sorry Purra, I didn't know I did, I probably forgot that I read it in yours and then just added it or something. * shrugs * Oh well, glad you like the chappie. It is isn't it. Must fix that. (j/k) Glad you think that her attitudes gonna wear down Kai's mask, I thought that it would too. Although I have to struggle to keep her in character, * bows head * (I keep wanting to make her a smart ass. Probably cause I am but.)

Anon: * superior attitude, (you know, the one that you kill people for doing to you) * I'd have to say that you are maybe a little obsessed with Kai, but then, most of us are, we just don't express it in that way. (Remember, if you kill me they'll be no more chapters!!!!) I'm just kidding, we're all obsessed with Kai, don't worry, if you want to see obsessed, just talk to Purra. * looks around * She didn't hear that did she?

(Just kidding Purra, please don't kill me! I can name others! Ot puff, Rei Aianamy! * looks at the people glaring at hear * * whimpers * I'll be quiet now.

??: Mwahaha, my hypnotisey thingey is working, fly my pretty, fly!!! * yells out to Kai * Kai, double question mark says she loves you! (it is a she isn't it!)

Ok, people's it's time for you to all read the story.



Chapter Ten : Another Win

Kai woke up the next morning earlier than all of the others, shooting a brief glance at the clock and registering that it was 4 am he passed it to move into the bathroom attached to his room.

He smiled briefly in remembrance of the argument Tyson had put up about him being the only one to have his own bathroom when the rest of the boys had to share one, and the girls had to share another.

He had also gotten a room by himself with a queen, instead of the singles that the others were sleeping in, in their shared rooms.

Pulling on his usual ensemble he walked from the room, brushing a piece of hair from his face that had refused to stay put the night before.

He went through the living room and onto the balcony, stopping as he saw the other figure standing on it.

Her long hair was blowing to the side in the wind, her cheeks wind blown as she turned to face him, smiling at him serenely.

He had never seen her look so at peace. She looked like a goddess standing in the early red/gold tints of sunlight as the sun rose to greet the morning.

"Kai," she simply stated.

He wanted to turn away, his mind screamed at him to leave even as his feet drew him closer to her. He felt as if an invisible cord was pulling him forward, and he was drowning in the pools of her sapphire eyes.

He didn't regain control until he was close, so very close to her.

Less than a metre away, and it still felt like an eternity away.

Something inside him called to him, some long forgotten emotion that took control of him, telling him that she was close enough for him to make a move.

Make her his, seal her fate into his own and let himself drown in those pools of sapphire.

They called to him, beckoning him even closer, and he found no will left inside to deny them. Moving a step closer he parted his lips in anticipation of feeling her own against them, soft and smooth, lips that seemed to fit against his own perfectly.

But even as he leant forward so slowly to claim her, his mind wrestled with his emotions, and took control, making him draw back an inch from contact.

Turning around he left, leaving her to assume whatever she wished in the cool morning.

Serena was stunned, something had changed in him for a moment, some other consciousness had taken control, rendering him immobile to his minds wishes.

She could see it in his eyes, those mahogany orbs that had gazed so intently into her own.

Never before had she been given the chance to study them so intently, to see past the cold emotionless gaze, the show that he put on for others to see into his true soul.

There was darkness there, something that held him back, and even as he had been leaning towards her she had seen that darkness increase until he had eventually pulled back, regaining control of himself.

The darkness frightened and amazed her at the same time, heightening her curiosity, but something told her that if she tried to break into that darkness she would be gaining more than she had counted on.

Perhaps this was what he had meant by being a creature of the dark, by her being a creature of the light.

The dark consumed light, even as the light fought to shine it away.

Trying desperately to push the thoughts aside she turned back to the sunrise, troubled, thoughts running through her mind, forcing her to piece more things together.

To creature another, bigger puzzle for her to solve.

And she wondered just how long she could keep it up.

Kai entered the gym angrily. He had been close, too close to giving in that time. He had almost given into temptation and knew that it would destroy him.

Beginning a vigourous work out, he let his thoughts melt away.

They entered the arena three hours later, Kai and Serena both distancing themselves from the other. Serena startled by what she had discovered that morning, and Kai angry over his weakness in resisting her.

Because of this they turned out to both be merciless on their opponents.

Serena wanted the battle finished quickly, and so when she was to take the stand she finished her opponents blade quickly and resulted in advancing to the next round and being able to sit down and wait with the other, all of whom (except Kai) were looking at her concerned.

Kai however had drawn out the battle a few seconds longer than his automatic wins showing every one, including Serena that he was angry, not only that, but Dranzer had demolished the other competitors blade, leaving it as nothing but scrap metal. (AN: I don't like to interrupt the story, but does anyone actually know what beyblades are made from?)

He had ignored the furious boys shouts after saying spitefully. "If you had pulled back when you were supposed to you wouldn't have lost your blade."

The others looked at him incredulously, they knew that he was mean, but none had thought that he would destroy another opponents blade, not since he was a member of the Blade Sharks.

They had advanced to the next round with people gasping in amazement, even the bimbo's who had been hanging off of him the night before had pulled back, afraid of this blue haired youth.

The fifteen year old had shocked even Jazzman to speechlessness. He sat down with his team mates, ignoring the stares from the other competitors, coaches and spectators alike.

They left the ring after Ray won his battle and went back into the stands to watch the rest of the tournament for the day, all of them moving slightly away from Kai, the spectators near them moved away in fright as soon as they had come near, and they had about two meter's on each side where noboy was touching them.

Kai smirked slightly. Being merciless in battle did have some benefits, for once he had room to breath.

Meanwhile someone else was watching him, confusion and surprise sparkling in her eyes. One thought passed through her mind before she focused her attention on the next battle.

This had to stop.
