I'm here, I'm here, and no comments from the peanut gallery. I had a small
case of writers block last time I tried to write something. When I just got
over it, my classes canceled four-day grad trip was suddenly back on. Right
now I have a really bad cold and a headache but I'm still writing just for
all you people out there.

Chapter 12
~*~*~*~*~
The pain. The heat. She couldn't take it anymore. She had to get away, go somewhere else. She had to leave. But she couldn't. Her arms and legs were bounded tightly and her clothes were ripped a torn. Deep gashes were left upon her arms a mid back. Her face stung from the small cuts that crossed her cheeks and forehead. She began to squirm in pain as a foot came in contact with her stomach.
"Are you going to tell us when or not girl?"
The cold, harsh voice rang through her head as she turned to look at the speaker of the voice. His gray eyes were slightly shadowed by jet-black bangs that covered his forehead. A shorter man with piercing red eyes held a firm gaze on her as she began to squirm again.
"Tell us now or we'll kill you" the black haired man said. "We know you know so stop making this so difficult"
The girl screeched in pain as a leather whip made contact with her back once again. The pain shot through her body as a loud crack was heard.
"December 23" she whispered in a hoarse voice. More of the little energy she had left faded away with each passing second.
"We already know that. What year?" The man with red eyes yelled. "The sooner you tell us, the more likely you'll live"
"Th. This year" she gasped.
"Thank you little girl," the black haired man said quietly "Unfortunately we don't trust you to keep quiet-"
"So we'll have to kill you" the other man finished. He pulled a small knife out of his pocket and held it above her chest. Unknown to the two men, a dark figure stood behind them. It looked so familiar to the girl. The shadowy figure was erased from her mind as the red eyed man raised the knife higher. "Good bye Kassandra White, we'll miss you," he said as the knife shot down. A loud, long wanted, ear-splitting screech came from her mouth as her eyes flashed open and she shot up.
~*~*~*~*~
Kai opened his eyes as a piercing scream reached his ears. Immediately recognizing the scream as being feminine, Kai untangled himself from the white sheet that was wrapped around his body and dashed towards Kassandra's room. Upon entering the room, he was pushed back into the wall by a small girl with a baggy black t-shirt and long blue pajama pants.
"Stay away from me" she screeched as a fist came flying at him. Kai grabbed the small hand and dodged another fist that flew at him.
"Kassandra calm down"
She didn't stop. It was as if she was in a trance. Her eyes were hidden from his view but he wasn't concentrating on her face. Right now he was trying to block blows from the tiny girl in front of him. He quickly took her shoulders in his hands and pushed her away from him. She landed on the bed and moved to get up but was stopped as Kai sat down on her. His legs were straddling her hips and her arms had been firmly planted beside her head. She began to squirm wildly about as he attempted to keep her in one spot.
"Kassandra, dammit, snap out of it" he hissed.
She turned her head to look at him. Her emerald green eyes were clouded over with a look of fear. 'What on earth?' Kai thought. She blinked several times, as if trying to figure something out.
"Kassey, are you okay?" Evan's nickname that was given to her rolled off his tongue, as he looked her squarely in the eyes. He'd never admit it but he had always felt different around her. Whether they were with someone else, or just talking alone. He was never sure what it was but sometimes he felt a strange tingling sensation within him. That strange tingling sensation was what he was feeling right now.
"What's going on in here?"
Evan charged through the door. His eyes fell upon Kai and Kassandra. Kai was sitting on top of Kassandra who seemed to be in a daze. His eyes darted from one to the other as a smirk crossed his face.
"You know, if you two wanted some time alone then you could've just asked" he said, stifling a laugh. Could he help it if the scene was funny?
"Evan, this is no joke, go and get a wet towel or something," Kai snapped.
"What's the problem?" Concern was evident in his voice as well as his eyes.
"She is either sleepwalking or likes to attack her friends who walk into her room when she screams, now go and get the towel."
Evan gave a small nod as he quickly left the room. She wasn't struggling anymore but was staring a hole through him. Her eyes no longer showed fear but confusion. Kai snapped his head back towards the door as Evan re- entered the room with a soaked cloth. He handed it to Kai who quickly dabbed it on Kassandra's face. She sputtered and coughed as the water dripped into her mouth and down her throat.
"Wha. What's go. Going on?" she said blinking once or twice.
"You don't remember?" Kai asked.
"Remember what?" Kassandra replied. The glances between the two boys in the room made her feel slightly uneasy; the way that Kai was on her did not help. "You mind explaining why Kai is sitting on me and why you two boys are in a girls room half naked?"
Both male teenagers looked at each other and smirked, mostly Evan. He knew she was inwardly enjoying this moment; most girls would enjoy being in the same room as two guys that were only in boxers.
"Come on Kassandra don't tell me you don't enjoy this" Evan said. He stepped towards her and extended his arm forward. Kassandra's eyes widened in horror as Evan slowly turned into the black haired boy, a cruel smile was set upon his face. Kassandra screamed and tried to push the older boy on top of her off in an attempt to run away. It failed miserably as her blue haired friend held her down. His lips were moving but no sound came out. She wiggled her hands out from underneath his and shot up trying to push him off her. He did not budge. She wasn't quite sure if it was a good thing, or a bad thing as her lips brushed against his, snapping her out of her nightmare.
Both teens quickly jumped away from each other just as their lips came in contact. Kassandra immediately looked away from Kai while he snapped his head towards a shocked, but laughing, blond.
"I don't want to hear anything from you got it?"
"Ah, come on Kai. Can I help it if it was funny?" Evan replied.
"Evan"
"Okay, okay. Look on the bright side, Kassandra has calmed down."
At the mention of her name, Kassandra's eyes shot up to meet light blue and roan red orbs. She glanced from one to the other and back. "What?"
"Nothing Kassandra. I think we should get to bed, it's midnight and we should have some rest," Kai said as he shook his head.
"Okay, whatever dude" Evan exited the room and was followed by Kai. "Night Kassey"
"Goodnight" Kassandra snuggled under her covers and lay her head upon the white pillow. 'The boys are acting weird, maybe it's because of the. ' She trailed off as the small memory of her first kiss washed away any other thoughts she might have had. It wasn't really what you would call a kiss but it sure did make her stomach flutter. A small smile crossed her lips as she fell into a peaceful slumber.
~*~*~*~*~
Kassandra's eyes fluttered open as sunlight streamed into her room through the window. After she adjusted her focus more she realized that it was far too bright for it to be the morning. She flipped over to the other side of the bed and looked and the digital cloak beside her bed. It was one in the afternoon! She squeaked and jumped out of bed and ran to her suitcase. She had slept through her team's semi-finals by an hour!
"Screw the shower, I had one last night," she hissed to no one in particular. Throwing on her usual clothes, she dashed out of her bedroom into the room where Kai slept. Nobody was there. Grabbing the extra key, she ran out the door and straight to the elevator. After arriving in the lobby, she first spotted her two other teammates sitting on the lobby couches, fiddling with beyblades. She stormed over to team until she was right beside them and placed her hands on her hips.
"Well, well, well, looks like sleeping beauty has finally awaken" Evan said looking up from his beyblade.
"Why the hell did you not wake me up so I could battle?"
"Quite simple really" Kai said. He raised his gaze from his blue beyblade to meet Kassandra's emerald green eyes. "We were afraid you would attack us again like last night. You weren't really needed anyways, we won easily."
"I beg your pardon?" Kassandra hissed.
"I'm just joking around, but literally, we won fair and square." Kai said.
"Aww does wittle Kassey feel like she not needed" Evan said. He turned his face into pout as his eyes went all droopy.
"Shut your trap Evan Cone Tompson"
"Uhh, you know I hate it when you say my middle name," Evan said rubbing his temples with his fingertips.
"I think Cone is a cute name"
All three teens looked across from them at a girl sitting on the couch opposite of them. The girls strawberry blond hair was pulled back into low pigtails. A baby blue jacket was placed over top of a pink shirt. Jeans that were slightly too big hung off of her waist. Her crystal blue eyes shimmered as she glanced at Evan.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't help but over hear. My names Sarah, Sarah Wills."
"Ugh, hi" Kassandra said. "The names Kassandra and I see you know Evan's name, but this guy over here" she jerked her hand towards Kai "This is-"
"Kai Hiwatari right?" Sarah finished.
"Yes" Kai said.
"We faced your other team a few minutes ago. We lost but we were expected to lose. They do have the world champ Tyson," she said.
It was quite obvious that this girl enjoyed talking as much as Evan. That meant she liked to talk a lot. Even if she didn't know very much.
"You said you like the name Cone?" Evan asked.
"Yes, I think it's a very unique name" Sarah replied.
'Well, I think I'll be going now. I'm heading over to the training room for a bit of last minute practice," Kai said as he stood up.
"I think I'll go play some playstation. See ya guys later" Kassandra said deviously.
"Bye" Sarah said.
'Boy, she's like a feminine Max' Kai thought as he left the others behind.
It was eight o'clock at night and the training room was clear of any beginner beybladers. Probably because the Bladebreakers and the Black Knights were the only team left in the tournament. Kai was about to go back to the room when running footsteps alerted him of someone's presence. He turned around to see Evan running down the hall towards him. The blond barged into the room, nearly knocking Kai down as he did so.
"Kai. It's Kassey" Evan managed to say although he was still wheezing from running.
"What about her?" Kai asked.
"She's. She's been kidnapped"

Oh cliffhanger. Hehehe, I love writing cliffhangers but I hate reading them. I don't know how long it will take me to put up the next chapter so bare with me. It might be long; it might be the same length as my other ones so no promises.
I've been thinking and I've decided to ask who you think should win the tournament. The Bladebreakers or the Black Knights? Your votes may change my mind, or keep it the same. So if you want a specific team to win I suggest you:

Bye for now
