Chapter 4 - Awaited Confrontation.....
The night was ice cold, it was now even later than before hand when Kai had done his thinking in the garden, listening to the pathetic conversations that had involved him and his problems with Nina. He lay in his sheets, staring blankly at the ceiling in a wasted attempt to drift off into slumber, but of course when he was in this kind of mood it was completely impossible for him to sleep. He sighed in annoyance as he sat up, dressing himself, it was a little after midnight. Yet Kai took the view that if he couldn't sleep there was no point in him lying there. He wondered outside into the training stadium. The yellowy moonlight washed down him, intensifying his tall shadow that lay limply on the ground behind him. The clear ebony sky was eclipsed by a vast angry looking cloud that began to cry slight drops of rain that gradually become greater and greater in number.
The drops beated down on Kai as he raised his face to it, letting the bullet sized drops wash down his face, he sighed and leaned against one of the seating stalls holding Dranzer in his hand, he opened his eyes looking down on his blade, which was basically his life. "It's a little late to be having a shower..." a voice spoke from behind him in one of the seating stalls. Without looking Kai answered, "I could say the same thing to you....". It was Nina who had been watching him she emerged into the moon light letting the rain pile onto her, as she folded her arms grinning, her blue and blonde hair clung to her face as she wiped it away, "Yes you could, but you won't will you Mr Silent...." she answered his comment. "I haven't really got time for chit chat...." Kai scowled at her, giving her a look that suggested she should get to the point. She put a hand on his shoulder, brushing some more blonde locks from her silvery eyes, "Anyone who can stand in the rain at midnight, must have all the time in world" she teased and then sighed, "but your right, so I'll get to the point".
"I've changed a lot since that glorious summer you know..." she muttered sighing as she recalled that evening she and Kai had spent briefly on that little beach no one visited. Kai nodded this was all old news, Nina had become a stronger person who was a lot more upfront, and the biggest change of all was she had become a skilled beyblader in the space of a year. She plucked something from her purple, studded belt. It was a light blue beyblade, the attack ring was tipped with silver and the picture of the bitbeast on the bitchip was that of a black tiger with gold stripes and a ruffle of white fur around it, it's tale was wound with gold chains. "Me and my little team mates have come here to the Indian Tournament for one specific reason...." she continued as Kai's full attention was now on the words coming out of her mouth. "To find the Legendary Blader....." she finished bluntly. Kai raised an eyebrow narrowing his eyes, "So what?, you've come here to tell me this why exactly?" he scowled, she was getting at something, something he didn't like. He leaned back fully against the seating stall his face now becoming completely shadowed to hide an facial expressions that may of thrown her.
"Our mission is to capture the bitbeast of the Legendary Blader...." she started to grin, flicking at her blonde locks. "But, you know that isn't fair...." she paused biting her bottom lip and removing her slender hand from his shoulder. "I believe that you are The Legendary Blader, Kai" she dipped her face into the shadows she could see his expression quite easily even though he tried to hide it, he had a completely shocked expression across his face, she was very close to his lips, uncomfortably so. "This is the deal, your going to fight me in the tournament, because we know who's going to get to the final". She took in a deep breath and quickly kissed him, dodging his mouth and kissing him on the cheek, rather teasingly. She slipped back into the moonlight as she began to walk away, "If you win, you'll keep your bit beast and I'll face the consequences of failure , if not, i will take Dranzer" her grin faded into a stern expression as she vanished into the shadows, no doubt back to her dorm, with her team mates. Kai emerged back into the moonlight his hand on his cheek where she'd kissed him he looked shocked, but as soon as his eyes fell upon Dranzer his expression returned to it's normal pose. He tightened his grip around Dranzer, "I'll beat you Nina...." he muttered in the sanctity of the shadows.
Nina arrived back in her room, Indigo and Clarity were well away, impossible to disturb. She lay on top of her sheets, looking at her blade, more specificly at her bit beast, she kissed the bit chip, and it began to glow weakly, "We'll win Isis...." she whispered to her black tiger. "I need to prove to myself that i'm right....".
