I don't own Beyblade, please don't sue me.

More Than Meets the Eye
Chapter 9
"..." talking
'...' thinking
Kamila sat outside on the deck, watching the Blade Breakers practice their beyblade skills. She looked at Jana, whom avoided her as if she's some kind of disease, she looked down. Her hands touched her stomach, last night.... was unexpected. She doesn't even know why she did that either, but the sad thing is.... his heart wasn't with him.
She raised a bitter smile, his heart was somewhere else. He was calling out her name, touching her, but in his heart, it was someone else that he actually wants.
Her hands travelled to her neck, slowly tracing a line down, she lifted up her jade necklace and looked a it.
[Flashback]
Kamila just stood there and looked at the brown haired woman in front of her, Thgil, the all powerful priestess.
"Kamila, your jade necklace can foresee the furture, it is something that never leaves you either. Now, I give it another power, I'll let it become you. For the necklace represents you, but you don't represent the necklace. If the necklace dies, you die as well, but if you die, it won't die. As long as you're wearing it, it can protect your life. Of course, it can protect the life of someone else as well, as long as that person is wearing it."
[End of Flashback]
Her necklace contains the power to forsee the future. 'Then... let me see into the future, just this ones more.'
With that, she closed her eyes, her body connecting with the necklace.
Wind, dark night, blood, screams, Blade Breakers, herself, weapons, Kai, death....
She opened her eyes slowly and cluntched the necklace in her hand tightly, what's going to come has to come. However..... can she really give her life to him?
[Flashback]
"What if he doesn't love me?" Kamila asked, crossing her arms across her chest, looking at Thgil, whom smiled.
"If he doesn't love you, then you'll be back here spending time with me again. It all depends on if he loves you or not, if he loves you and comes for you, then you'll be able to be a normal human again, living your life with him."
[End of Flashback]
Just then, the door behind her opened, she looked up and saw Kai standing beside her. He looked down at her as well, noticing the light purple mark on her neck, thanks to him.
She didn't say anything, but to stand up and turn around to walk into the house again. Kai's eyes followed her, taking in her stiff movements as she walked across the house.
[Kamila's Room]
Diego jumped down to the ground as she dropped onto her bed with a deep sigh, the panther looked at her for a long time. Sensing its look, Kamila turned and looked at the panther as well.
Then with a huff, she sat up on her bed and opened her arms, Diego walked over into her arms immediately. She encircled her arms around its neck and buried her face into its black fur. She sighed.
"I know... I know, I shouldn't have done that, it was just on the spur of the moment." The panther shook his head at her, she blinked and looked at him.
"What? Ray? I know... but, how can I do that to him? After all, he is...."
The panther turned his head away, not motioning anything. Kamila looked at him and then sighed, turning, she looked out the windows at the bright sun, too bright for her taste.
"I'll do it tonight, don't worry, I'll finish him off."
They then settled in silence, soon, Diego tensed up, Kamila looked at him and just then a voice rang out.
"Kamila, are you okay?"
Kamila turned around and saw Ray standing at the door way, looking kinda nervous. Surprise shown up mentally, she turned fully to sit on the edge of the bed and looked at him.
"Why do you ask?"
"It's just that... what Jana said last night was kinda harsh. I mean, we know that you're not the witch, but she...."
Kamila laughed softly, and Ray just looked at her. "How do you that I'm not the witch?"
Ray's eyes widened, he gulped and looked around, not knowing what to say. Kamila smiled and patted the bed beside her, he blinked at her but took a step forward anyways.
"Come and sit, I don't bite."
Hesitantly, he walked over and sat down beside her carefully, Kamila turned and faced him directly.
"Do you trust me?" She asked softly, Ray nodded slowly, unsure of himself. "Then... believe me, I won't hurt any one of you."
At that moment, Diego jumped off her bed and walked out the door slowly, the two of them looked after him, pain shown in Kamila's eyes, she knows that she has disappointed Diego, her only friend for so long. With a sigh, she turned towards Ray, forgetting to hide away the pained expression in her eyes.
Ray was captured by her lavender eyes, that sadness in them, they look so much like... Aurora. Perhaps this is why Kai can tolerate her so much, because she reminds him of Aurora. However, is that the only reason that Kai's attracted to her? After all, except for the eyes, they look nothing alike, their personalities are way different from each other.
Kamila looked at Ray, whom just starred at her, a small smile appeared on her face as she looked at Ray's golden eyes. "What? Something on my face?"
Ray blinked and then shook his head, trying to shake him out of the trance that he was just in. "Nothing... it's just that... you remind me of someone."
"Aurora?" Kamila asked.
Ray looked at wide eyed, surprised, how did she know about Aurora? Kamila just smiled and titled her head, her long black hair open today.
"How..."
"When Kai looked into my eyes, he called me Aurora, I guess that must be the one that I remind you of, huh?"
Ray just smiled but didn't say anything, Kamila sighed and the sadness appeared in her eyes again, she bowed her head, hiding her face from his view. Her long black hair falling in front of her face to cover it up more, Ray looked at the top of her head and then sighed, here's another girl that has fallen in love with Kai.
"Kamila... you know that Kai has a fiancee, and even if he's not going to marry her, his heart will still belong to Aurora." He placed it in words softly, he believes that someone like her will be able to understand.
Kamila nodded slowly and her voice rang out, softly. "I know... I never said that I wanted him to myself forever, so you don't have to worry about that."
With that, she picked her head up, and at the same time, she flung her hair upwards as well. Just like that, by pure accident, her long hair got caught on one of the buttons on Ray's shirt. Kamila winced in pain immediately, her reflex made her jerk back, Ray was surprised at this action as he wasn't prepared for this.
Just like that with one jerk, Kamila fell back onto the bed, dragging Ray down with her. With a grunt, Ray fell on top of Kamila, her hair still stuck onto Ray's button.
"Ow." Kamila said immediately, Ray blushed and lifted himself up from her, but she pulled him back down again. "Wait, my hair."
Ray stopped and looked down at the hair that is stuck on his button, without a choice, he can only hold himself in place above Kamila, as she worked her fingers around the button, trying to free her hair. Neither of them realizing what kind of an awkward position they're in, after a minute, Kamila sighed in relief as she pulled her hair away from Ray's button slowly. And at time, a clear of throat made them look up from their position and found Kai looking at them through cold eyes.
Their eyes widened, Ray pushed himself up immediately, and Kamila followed his action, keeping her eyes on Kai, whom looked actually quite angry. Ray cleared his throat awkwardly and then looked at Kamila, whom just looked down.
"Um... is your hair okay?"
Kamila looked at him and then nodded, Ray nodded as well and walked over to Kai, whom is standing in the doorway. "Um... her hair, got stuck onto my shirt button. Yeah."
Kai just looked at him coldly, Ray gave him a nervous smile before exiting the room quickly, leaving those two in her room in silence.
After a while, Kamila looked up from her sitting position to see Kai standing there looking at her, she took in a breath, watching as his mouth opened and a cold question came out.
"What were you doing?"
"Nothing. My hair got caught on his shirt button and..."
"And he just fell on top of you." He finished for her coldly, she gulped at how stupid that sounded.
"Kai... we weren't doing anything." She said and stood up, walking over to Kai.
He didn't say anything, she stopped in front of him and took in breaths carefully, as if afraid of waking up the dead. After a minute, Kai turned, wanting to walk away, Kamila looked up immediately.
"Kai, where are you going?"
He paused and then half turned to her, looking straight ahead of himself. "I just wanted to check if you're okay, most girls would feel uncomfortable today." He said quietly.
Kamila looked at him, touched. He's actually worrying about her, does this mean that he cares for her as well? She kept her gaze on him, at a loose of what to say. Kai glanced at her then turned again, this time she grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
"What?"
Kamila just smiled and her hands went behind her neck, she unfastened her jade necklace and held it in front of Kai. "I want to give this to you." Without waiting for his reply, she stood on her tip toes and put the necklace around his neck. He looked at her confused as she back away slowly.
"What is this for?"
"Kai... just keep it."
"Why?"
"Because.... because I want to."
Kai looked at her, then slowly he ducked the necklace under his shirt, cool jade touched his bare chest as he shivered involuntarily. Kamila just looked at him and then smile.
[Flashback]
"Why would I be stupid enough to give away the necklace that would protect me to some guy that I will meet?" Kamila asked, snorting.
Thgil smiled and tilted her head calmly, "because you love him."
