Chapter Thirteen : Stand Off Pt 1.
Kai walked alone at the back of the group, watching the girl he had given up his soul to talking animatedly to Callie.
She seemed so full of life that it seemed as if it were wrong for him, a creature of darkness to be a with her, to open himself up to her more than he had to any other.
But he still couldn't tell her know some things, let her into the darkest corners of his mind and show her...
To do so would be to condemn himself.
How could he pretend to be the type of boy she wanted, yearned after, if he let her see the truth?
She caught his gaze and held it for a second, smiling sweetly before turning back to Callie, answering a sudden question from the girl.
Tearing his gaze away from her he turned his mahogany orbs to the amber ones, searching his face intently.
The white tiger smiled and moved over, standing next to him as he walked.
Speeding up did no good either, the White Tiger kept pace with him easily, and short of running Kai was out of options.
"So you've finally given into life Kai." he said smugly, grinning.
Kai wished to knock that stupid grin off of his face, but showed more control than he could have ever thought when he dismissed it and told Ray simply.
"I haven't given into anything."
"Sure you haven't Kai." he replied grinning like a fool. His face then turned serious. "You had better be a little less obvious about it Kai, Tyson already thinks something's strange."
Kai grunted in reply and flicked his eyes to Serena once more before turning back to the White Tiger.
"Knock him over the head a couple of times." he replied, "That should make him forget."
Expecting Ray to take offence to this he was surprised when the White Tiger simply laughed.
"He's already been hit over the head enough times Kai, I don't think it works as much as people think it does."
Kai looked at him then grunted and turned away, observing Tyson and Amille talking and laughing together.
"Does Callie know about Mariah?" he asked instead looking at Ray out of the corner of his eye.
"They're's nothing between Callie and me Kai." he said paling considerably.
He raised and eyebrow and Ray gulped. "No she doesn't, but then neither do any of the other girls."
"Uh huh." Kai said turning away to stare ahead as they entered the arena and went to their seats in the stands.
"I still don't see why we turned down the box." Nicola grunted as she squeezed into her seat beside a VERY large kid watching the arena avidly.
He heard her talking and turned down and gave her what he must have thought to be a very alluring look and put a hand to his greasy hair, slicking it back and looking her up and down.
She nodded and then grabbed Max and pushed him into her seat, sitting in his seat which was beside her on the other side.
The boy looked at her surprised and then turned to his companions, whispering something to them.
Serena sat beside Max and next to Callie on the other side. (Bet you thought she was gonna be sitting next to Kai.)
She smiled at Nicola who was making faces about the boy next to her and mouthing something to her.
Ray sat behind Callie and beside Kai, who sat on the other side, behind Tyson. A boy in the group next to them stood up, icy blue eyes flashing. He was tall and lean, built well and quite cute with white blonde hair that hung on his head, but Serena barely even noticed him as he pushed his way past the kids behind her to sit behind her and Nicola, his friends moving to do the same.
"So, you here as groupies or something?" he said to Serena, leaning forward and speaking next to her ear.
She pulled back quickly, turning to face him.
"You girls should come to a real team." the fat slob next to Max said grinning at them pathetically.
"No thanks." Serena said cooly, placing a restraining arm on Nicola.
"If we were groupies we'd go to a proper team." Callie said grinning at them with a mocking smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"So you're bladers." the brown haired guy (who was also cute) said, glaring at the fat kid to make him stay put.
"Yeah." Ray said coldly. "What of it."
"We weren't asking you." the blonde replied, his mouth twisting in a malicious grin.
"Why don't you come into a GOOD team then." the fourth member of their team said, a scrawny red head who was thin and slinky. He was too thin for any real looks, and his red hair hung down to his shoulders, greasily.
The fifth member of their team. A guy with golden blonde hair that was tightly curled and stuck out like an afro, moved to join his friends in their little adventure.
"What are you guys talking to these whore's and wannabee's for anyway?" he said sitting with them.
Nicola was about to wring his neck when Serena let out a gasp of surprise.
"Guys, I think that's Tala." she said pointing to someone on the ground walking to the beyblading ring.
"So say hi." Max said.
"You've gotta be kidding me." the red head said laughing. "As if the great Tala would ever talk to wannabee idiots like you."
"Look, why don't you go back to the mothership." Celia said turning and commenting finally from her seat beside Kenny.
"Only if you come with us." the fat guy responded grinning.
"Come on guys, we'd better get back to our seats, or Liam's not gonna be happy." the brunette said glancing at the sixth member of their team, and the only one who had not come over to join his friends in their tormenting.
He looked up, eyes cold, his black hair shifting in the slight breeze that came as he looked into Serena's eyes, then turned to his friends.
They practically ran back to him under his fierce gaze, and Serena realised that he commanded much of the same sort of respect as Kai.
Then ignoring it she turned back to watch the match enfold beneath her.
The blades span fiercly, but Tala ended up being the winner anyway, he had preferred to delay his kill as much as possible.
Serena hated the practice, but couldn't fault others for wanting to use it. Sighing she stood up.
"Where are you going?" Callie said looking up at her suspiciously.
"Bathroom." Serena replied simply, leaving the row of seats.
She didn't notice the shadows that followed her, or even the shadows that followed them.
Stopping on her way back from the bathroom to pick up some drinks and food for the others, thinking them hungry and stopped when she noticed Kai and Ray standing waiting for her.
"Why are you here?" she asked surprised as she struggled to carry all of the full food items.
"You were followed." Kai said as Ray came forward to take some of the food and drinks.
"They won't be bothering you now." Ray said snickering in rememberance of something.
Serena tried to look mad at them for hurting people, and at the same time tried to contain her glee at Kai coming to rescue her.
It was so romantic, qualifing as something out of a fairy tale.
She smiled at them finally, losing the battle with herself of whether to smile at her fortune, or be mad at them for doing something that she didn't condone.
She didn't condone violence at all. And it depended on the person as to whether or not she could fault them for using violence.
But looking at her two hero's (Kai mostly) now, she realised that violence wasn't always that bad a thing.
"At least tell me you didn't hospitalise them?" she said sighing.
Ray looked at Kai grinning. "They probably think they need a hospital." he said, laughter filling his voice.
Serena shook her head annoyed but then entered the arena again just as they were calling the bladebreakers team out as the next match.
They were against a team called the gods of beyblading.
"The names corny enough isn't it." Nicola said as the others joined them in walking to the neccesary area's.
She grabbed the bag of popcorn from Serena's hands, consuming it with Amille VERY quickly. It was almost as if they hadn't ate in weeks.
They entered the little box thing and decided that Max would go first, followed by Amille, Tyson, Ray, Kai and then Serena.
Once that was decided Max stepped up to the bowl. Eyes focusing on the person walking out at the other end.
It was the fat kid from before, only this time his face was littered with bruises, and he growled menacingly at the Blade Breakers.
They span their blades into the dish, the blades banging together until the boys flew out of the dish, returning to his hand.
Max smiled as Nicola, Amille, Tyson, Kenny, Celia, Serena and Ray went up to congratulate him.
The second blader moved forward, followed by Amille who went to her end of the bowl and stood there waiting for Jazzman to announce them.
When he did she launched her blade quickly. Watching it spin in the bowl at her end as his hit the ground only moments later.
It was another quick win, except this time it was the first blonde boy who won.
Kai watched Amille as she returned, the others coming up to her and telling her that it was ok.
She stopped and waited before him. Waiting for his judgement.
"You were too cocky." he said finally, just when she had begun to turn away.
She turned back to him, surprise registering on her face and then bowed her head, walking back to the seats with Max.
Tyson stepped up next, winning the match only narrowly, a streak of the same cockiness showing in his style of blading, and his whole attitude to it.
Ray stepped up next, facing the thin lanky kid. He won the match against him easily, and walked back to the group smiling confidently.
Kai walked to the bowl next facing the cute brunette. Serena watched expectantly, waiting for Kai to ace it like always, but gulped down her disgust when she realised that he was going to draw it out.
But he surprised her by finishing the match as second after they'd launched their blades, none had needed to call on their bit beasts yet.
Serena walked to the dish, gulping when she realised the only person left for her to battle was the black haired boy, he watched her as she walked, as if searching for a weakness somewhere.
And unlike most of the members of his team, his face wasn't littered with bruises and cuts.
He stood at the edge waiting for her, and bowed when Jazzman called out his name. His face screaming confidence.
Serena shivered although it was not cold. There was something about him that scared her.
Something that just seemed off.
He smirked as they launched their blades and the two circled around the dish, nudging each other lightly, searching for openings.
Neither wishing to make the first move. Unlike with his team mates she felt the need to be cautious around him. To not make sudden moves that might leave an opening.
She needed the consider her moves very carefully.
He seemed to find an opening, sending his blades clashing into her own, as it flew into the air...
To be continued.
