Chapter 13 – The Day Before The Big Match.
After seeing Sam had returned Kai went to see her. He wondered why see was being so mysterious all of a sudden. He knocked on the door but got no reply, he knew she was in so knocked a little louder still he got no reply.
-Maybe she's listening to Walkman again.- he thought
He tried the door, which opened. He walked in slowly if she was listening to her Walkman he didn't want to scare her. Instead he found her asleep on her bed; he smiled then went over and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek before turning to leave.
"Where do you think you're going?" he suddenly heard.
He turned back round to see that Sam was now sitting up.
"I didn't mean to wake you," he said.
Sam smiled "I was about to get up anyway." Stretching but as she did so her top lifted showing tummy.
Kai smiled and walked back to her. Sam blushed as she pulled her top back down. He sat next to her just as she was about to stand up and pulled her back down, resulting in her lying across his lap to which her top rose revealing her tummy once again. She blushed again and went to pull it down once more only for Kai to slap her hand away.
"I can tell you want something." She smiled.
"Now what gave you that idea." He said going down to kiss her.
"Call it intuition." She answered after they kissed.
Kai smiled "Really? And what does your intuition tell you now."
Sam put her hands around Kai's neck.
"How about I show you." pulling him into another kiss.
The next morning Max knocked on Ray and Kai's door.
"Hey Max." Ray greeted.
"Hey Ray. Ready for breakfast?" he asked.
"Sure." Ray replied closing the door behind him.
"Uh…where's Kai?"
"I'll give you one guess." He answered looking towards Sam's room.
"I see. Well do you wanna 'interrupt' them or shall I?" Max asked.
"You mean wake them." Ray corrected.
"Wha? You mean they…"
"Spent the night together. Kai said he was going to visit Sam and never came back." Ray said with a little nod.
"In that case perhaps we'd best not disturb them." Max said turning to walk down the corridor.
"Where's Tyson anyway?" Ray asks changing the subject as they walk towards the hotel restaurant.
"You know Tyson and food." Max answered.
"Yea and if we don't hurry they'll be none left." Ray joked.
As they entered the restaurant they saw Tyson and Kenny. Tyson was stuffing his face as usual and Kenny was busily typing away on his laptop trying to not pay any attention to Tyson.
"Hey guys!" Tyson called out as Ray and Max approached their table.
"Is there anything even left Tyson." Max joked.
"Very funny Max." Tyson said.
"Believe it or not Tyson actually hasn't eaten that much today." Dizzi commented.
"Yea only half the kitchen." Kenny remarked.
"Guess we'd better go and get some food before Tyson eats it all." Ray said joking to Max.
They came back a few minutes later and sat down.
"Hey guess what I found out." Max said.
"What's that Maxie?" Tyson asked intrigued.
"Sam and Kai spent the night together."
"Really." Tyson responded with a smile.
"How do you know that?" Kenny asked.
"Let's just say he never returned from his 'visit' last night." Ray answered.
Just then Kai walked in.
"Hey you guys seen Sam?" he asked as he approached the table.
"Nope." Ray said before Tyson could comment on the 'news' he had just heard about them.
"She hasn't come down for breakfast yet." Kenny added.
"What's wrong Kai?" Max asked.
"I can't seem to find her anywhere." Taking a quick look around the restaurant.
"What's the matter, she slip out while you were in the bathroom?" Tyson said sarcastically.
"What?" wondering what on earth Tyson was on about.
"We know about the two of you spending the night together."
"Your point Tyson." Kai said with a sigh while giving Ray an annoyed look.
"If you spent the night together surely you must know where she is." Dizzi said.
"Not really when I woke up she was gone."
"Now that's strange, maybe she wanted a little fresh air before breakfast." Kenny said thinking out loud.
"Come on Moonstar I know you can do better than that!" Sam said.
After Kai's little 'distraction' yesterday she had totally forgotten about the training she had planned. So decided to skip breakfast and get an early start.
Moonstar responded to Sam's comment by weaving through the bricks that she had set up as a make shift training ground even faster leaving deep and smoky trails in the ground behind her.
"That's better! Now Flaming Wreath!"
Moonstar then encircled one of the bricks resulting in a ring of fire appearing which closed up on the brick and engulfed it. When the flames had 'cleared' the brick crumbled.
Sam smiled -excellent Moonstars attack is even deadly than before.-
"Okay Moonstar one more exercise and we'll call it a day for now."
But Moonstar had other ideas; she went in front of Sam and stopped spinning. Sam just looked at her blade for a few seconds blinking once or twice then gave a small smile.
"I guess you're right, it's time I went and saw them." Moonstar glowed in response; Sam then gave a little sigh, "I suppose I have been trying to put it off for as long as I can… but now it's time to face them."
She picked up Moonstar and walked off in the direction she knew they lived. As she walked down their street all the memories started to flood back. Soon she reached their house she stood staring at it for a couple of minutes wondering whether this was a good idea or not.
"You sure this is a good idea?" she asked Moonstar in her hand.
Moonstar glowed as if to say 'Yes now go!'
"Okay okay I'm going."
She took a deep breath, went up to the front door and rang the bell. The door slowly opened -well there's no turning back now.- she thought as tried to prepare herself for what lay ahead.
The lady at the door stared at her in total shock.
"S…S…Sam? Is that really you?"
"Yep, long time no see huh." She joked trying to hide her nervousness.
The lady then pulled Sam into a tight hug.
"Mom you're choking me." Sam said trying hard to breathe.
"Oh sorry…I'm just so glad your back." Her mother said instantly releasing her.
"Uh…yeah." Nervously looking away.
"Come in," she says moving out the way to let Sam in.
"No I can't." shaking her head.
Her mother then notices Moonstar in her hand.
"You're still blading aren't you." she says solemnly.
Sam nods "There's uh…something you need know…" trying find the right words "I…I only came back be… cause of the match tomorrow." She began to say a little nervously.
"Don't tell me your going to compete." Her mum interrupted.
"I'm not sure yet. I might." She knew she was lying as told Mr. Dickenson that she had to compete. But she knew her mum would only worry.
"You do know that…"
"Yea I know." Sam said interrupting her. "There's one other thing you need to know well actually two …" now looking down at the ground.
"He's here isn't he… On the same team." Her mum said confidently with just a hint of anger in it.
Sam looked up amazed at how her mum had guessed.
She smiled "You may have been gone for quite a while but you're still my daughter and I know how to read your expressions."
"Yea he's here." Sam answered knowing her mum was talking about Kai.
She wanted to tell her that they were together but judging by the reaction she got from hearing that they were on the same team she didn't think that her mum would approve.
Her mother just shook her head.
"I just don't see how you can forgive him so easily… especially after what he did to you."
Sam smiled as if it was an automatic reaction to that statement.
"Yeah well… he's changed. He's not like that anymore and I…" she stopped herself she couldn't tell her yet not after the reaction she got from the last piece of news she had told her.
"I…I…I have to go." Sam said turning to leave.
"There's something else isn't there."
"N-no there isn't… well see ya." as she went to walk up the garden path she stopped seeing the person behind her and was shocked. "…Dad… h-how long h-have you been standing there?" But she got no answer as the man just walked straight pass her and towards the house.
Sam closed her eyes; willing herself not to cry and increased her grip on Moonstar she opened her eyes again a moment later after hearing. "Come along Elizabeth."
"Yes dear." Her mother replied with a sigh.
After hearing the door close Sam continued to walk back to the hotel.
-That went better than I thought… I guess.-
Back at the hotel –
"You're going down Tyson!" Max said.
"We'll just see about that Max." Tyson retaliated.
They were getting in some practice before tomorrows big match. Max was also going to show Tyson just how 'bad' a blader he could be. After agreeing to battle each on the plane they hadn't really had the chance to 'settle it that way.' As Dizzi had said. What with settling into to the hotel and then with match between Sam and the Moonlights captain Adam. It all still puzzled them how Adam could have known about Moonstars attack, and how Sam knew him.
"Go Draciel!"
"Dragoon phantom hurricane!" Tyson shouts.
"You think I'm gonna fall for that Tyson?" Max says sarcastically.
"Looks like it to me." Tyson answered.
"They're really going at each other." Kenny said.
"This is more than just practice. Max is getting Tyson back for that comment he made about him." Kai responded.
"Where's Ray anyway?" Dizzi asked.
Kenny then looked around he hadn't noticed Ray wasn't with them.
"I thought he was right behind us."
"He was then he said he had something to do and walked off." Kai says.
"He could have at least told us." Dizzi said.
"He did but you obviously weren't listening."
"ooo… who's in a grumpy mood today." Dizzi commented.
At Kathryn's house –
"I'm going out for a while. I'll see you all later." Kathryn said walking out the door.
"Where are you going?" Adam asked.
"Just…out." She answered.
"You wouldn't be planning on visiting Sam would you?" Jasmine said a little sarcastically.
Kathryn turned around to face them.
"Now why would I want to visit the competing team?"
Adam sighed.
"Just see that you don't." then he turned to Jasmine "Time to show me how well you've 'improved' Jas." Then walked into the garden.
"I hate it when he calls me that!" she said to Kathryn before following Adam into the garden.
"He knows that why he does it." Kathryn called after her.
She walked out and headed towards the river to think for a while. What with the match against the Bladebreakers tomorrow Adam was making them do extra training and to be honest it was driving her nuts. She just had to get out of the house and clear her mind. She wondered if Sam had gone to see her parents yet, or if they even knew she was back. She sighed and sat on a nearby bench looking out at the view, of all the teams out there why did it have to be the one Sam was on.
"Hey." A voice said breaking her thoughts.
"Huh?" as she turned round to see a boy with raven black hair and a red ying yang band around his forehead.
"You're with the bladebreakers aren't you." Remembering him from the match Sam had with Adam.
"That's right my names Ray." He said.
"I'm Kathryn. I don't mean to be rude or anything but I really shouldn't be talking to you." She says turning back to the view that lay before her.
"I understand it's because of the match tomorrow right." Ray replies.
Kathryn shakes her head.
"I'm afraid you don't. You see before Sam left, Adam and I were good friends with her; we shared nearly everything with each other. She taught me everything I needed to know about blading." She sighs. " I don't even know why I'm telling you this… I better get going. If Adam finds out I've been talking to you, he won't let me blade in the match tomorrow."
"Wait. Could you at least tell me how you and Adam know Sam?" Ray asked as Kathryn walked off.
"My parents moved here after the little 'incident' with Kai." A voice says from behind Ray.
Ray turned and saw Sam standing behind him with Moonstar in her hand.
-Looks likes she's been training.- Ray thought.
Although she heard Sam's voice Kathryn didn't turn round which caught Sam's attention.
"You can go now Kathryn. Oh and give your mighty leader a message for me, tell him that the next time he wants to bring up the past during a match he'll end up with dust for a Beyblade!" her voice was cold and uncaring.
Something that both Ray and Kathryn were unused to.
"Sam are you okay?" Ray asks still trying to get over how cold Sam was being.
Sam started at Ray silently telling him to stay out of it.
If Ray wasn't standing right there he would of sworn that it was Kai not Sam standing in front of him.
Sam then looked back at Kathryn who had now turned round, the shock on her face was clear.
"Why so amazed Kathryn? Did you think I was incapable of this kinda thing?" Sam said with a little smirk.
Kathryn didn't answer but just turned back round and headed off back to her house. Sam also walked off, leaving Ray standing there wondering what just happen.
