CHAPTER 9

STRIPPED

(A/N: It's called Stripped cuz Tara's finally able to let her fears and angers n

problems go so its kinda like Stripped kinda like the Christina Aguilera's CD.XP

w/e so just don't think dirty plz!)

"Well.. Um. it.. Well.. It all started.. It all started when I was little- .."

Tara mumbled as she looked at the floor.

Kai glared at her and said nothing. He looked at her right leg, the one with the

mark on it.

"..-my parents.. Um.. well they died. My mom was killed.. By BioVault

and my dad died from a car accident on that same day.. And yea.. BioVault

kidnapped me and brought me to the abbey."

"And that's where you got those marks on your leg.. Right?" asked Kai who

shifted his body so he didn't face Tara anymore.

"Ummmmmm.. yeah. Mine is just the same as yours *nods at his face* except

that since im a girl, they wanted to make it as invisable as possible-.."

Kai snapped his head to face Tara again and glared. "What???? Because you're a

girl?????"

"There are no girls at BioVault! Haven't you noticed that before?" she said

innocently. (A/N There might be female scientists in the BioVault labs on the TV

show but whatever! Just pretend there aren't!) Kai kept silent while Tara

continued with her story. "Voltaire and Boris are soooooo against females! They

think we're weak.. Isn't that what you think?" She asked coldly.

Kai quickly mumbled that he didn't and she looked at him questionably.

"Just continue you story!" he snapped,

Tara raised a eyebrow but continued none the less.

As Kai listened.. He began to doubt himself more and more. He couldn't

believe it! This girl knew about BioVault more than he did. And if what she was

telling him was true then that must be impossible because Boris hated her.

"Why did they let you stay then?" Kai finally asked.

Tara had a lot of the answers about his childhood he had been craving for his

entire life. This seemed to be too much of a conisidence. Her and his childhood

seemed to be almost the same. His parents died when he was young so his

grandfather ordered him to be sent to BioVault for beyblade training. And then

that was what caused him to be so desperate for Black Dranzer. BioVault used

him to do their dirty work for them and he agreed! Kai still couldn't believe the

stupid mistakes he did in the past.

Tara's answer was what snapped Kai's thoughts back to reality. "To be their

servant. They never let me train, just clean and cook. You know.. Servant

stuff..! But then I got a BitBeast. Something I knew I would have to keep a

secret from Boris. " Tara's face suddenly darkened. That's when my life became

a living hell-.."

"-.. What do you mean-.." Kai asked but was rudely interrupted by his hotel

room door opening and Tyson running in. (A/N we havent heard from him for a

while)

"-.. KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tyson screamed. "HELP

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"TYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET.. OUT.. OF.. HERE..

N..O..W.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kai threatned.

*Tara sweatdrops*

"B-b-bu-but you don't understand!!!!!!!!! Max, Kenny and Ray want to k-k- ki-

kill m-m-me!!!!!!!!!!!" Tyson sputtered. Kai looked disgusted as Tyson tried to

hide behind him. "And tell me one good reason why I shouldn't let them?!?!?!"

Kai threatned again.

Just then Max, Kenny and Ray came marching into Kai's hotel room.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. Where is he????" demanded Kenny. Kai needed to say nothing

because at that precise moment, Tyson, who was still hiding behind Kai, thinking

that since he couldn't see them, they couldn't see him either, decided to let out a

whimper. Ray nodded at the cowarding figure Kai was trying to ignore and Max

silently crept up to the unexpecting Tyson. He jabbed the sides of Tyson's

stomach hard.

"OWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OWIE OW OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tyson

hollared. Everyone looked at Tyson as he jumped from the shock and started

laughing. (A/N If you saw Tyson's face, you'd laugh too!) "OWIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"AHHHH!!!!!" yelled a surprised Tyson. As he attempted to run in circles, he

tripped over Tara's outstreched leg and tripped. Everyone looked at Tyson on the

floor and then to who caused him to trip. For some reason no one noticed her

until now.

Tara looked at all of them and nervously said "Um hi?" Tyson, Max, Ray and

Kenny looked at her, then looked back at Kai with a strange look on their faces.

"Who's that Kai? Your girlfriend?" snickered Tyson. (A/N: Tyson really likes to

get back at Kai when he gets a chance)

"What?" they sputtered (very loudly so they kinda yelled) in disbelief at the same

time.

Kai was about to go over there and strangle the life out of Tyson but Tara was

quicker. "What did you say?" she yelled.

(.. = panting for breath)

"I'm... ehm.. so..rry..?" huffed Tyson.

"You better be." Tara threatened, glared and then dropped Tyson. Then she

stuck out her tongue playfully and tossed her hair.

Kenny, seeing what happened to Tyson and all, decided to be nice and ask the girl

about herself. "Soooo um.. Tara.. You never told us what your last name is?"

Tara glanced at Kenny, who blushed (like he always does when Emily or Mariah

are around), flipped her hair over her shoulder and simply said "I don't use my

last name."

Max muttered to Ray, "This girl acts like Kai, only nicer." Tara's head snapped

at Max and Ray (Max with his head turned down n Ray just standing there trying

to avoid eye contact.)

As Ray lightly chuckled, he scanned the new girl. She was really pretty even in

her dirty, ragged clothes. He even felt a little light headed (A/N:

AWWWWWWWWW!) but quickly shook himself out of it.

While Ray was getting it together, Kenny continued to try to befriend Tara.

"Then ummm.. What else do you do other than beyblading?"

"Waiting on tables and really fun stuff like that!" she answered in a false cheery

tone.

Ray chuckled at her sarcasim and snuck a quick glace at the new girl once more.

He knew he shouldn't, after all it seemed as that she was Kai's girlfriend. True,

Kai had many fangirls but Kai never invited them into his hotel room (A/N -

Don't even think that way!! Don't be dirty!!)

Just then Dizzi made the AOL You've Got Mail sound. Apparently Tyson was

closest to Dizzi so he opened it. "Oh Max," Tyson laughed. "Your mom sent

you an email!" Max started blushing as Tyson continued. "Awwww! Lookie

here! It says: To my wittle boy.. Blah blah blah, dad says hi, blah blah blah,

Oh!!!!!! Maxie poo!!!!!! It says here to remember to change your you-know- what

everyday!!!!!!!!(kinda like how Ash's mom from Pokemon always says that to

Ash) Eh? Eh?" "Oh! Maxie!!!!" Ray laughed. Max just remained red in the face

then approached Tyson. Another AOL You've Got Mail thing popped up and this

time Max checked it.. Just in cse it was his mom again. "HA! Look! Tyson!

Your grandpa sent you an email too! And look the title is To My homeboy!

To : e=mc2_whizkid@hotmail.com (not real email)

From : g-dog@hotmail.com (not a real email.. blah blah blah)

Re : To My Homeboy aka Tyson my man!

After everyone had a turn reading Tyson's email, well let's just saw they laughed

to death. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! WEIGHT

WATCHERS???????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

This time it was Tyson'sjob to be embarrased. Max was the one who laughed the most.

(A/N Revenge is sweet!!! Non?)

"Shaddup!" Tyson finally mumbled and after deleting the email he stomped out of

Kai's hotel room.

Now Max felt kinda giulty for hurting his best friend's feelings so he ran out of

the room too hoping to apologize to his friend. Ray and Kenny exchanged

glances and left the room too.

Kai and Tara stood in the same positions (Kai leaning on a wall and Tara sitting

on the bed) for a while until..

============================================================================ ============================================================================ ============================================

Kai walked over to Tara said nothing but put his hand on her forehead. "Your

fever is gone you know." He said in his regular dull voice. "Kai.." Tara

mumbled. He turned his attention towards her, "Yeah-..?" "-..Thanks" she

replied with a smile.

"Oh yea, is it ok if I take a shower first?" He nodded and Tara smiled. She went

in got out of her clothes, washed her.. etc. As she got out of the shower, (yes

she's wearing a towel!) she noticed Statix had come out and looked very worried.

"Statix, what's wrong?" Tara asked cautiously as she was drying her wet brown/

blonde hair.

/Well.. Its Boris.. He's looking for you./ Statix said nervously. /Mistress..

You might be in danger../
