A/N: THE WAIT IS OVER!!!!!
I finally found the time to update!!! YAY, GO ME!!!!!!!! Sorry it took so long. I was busy with The Dranon Heiress and with finishing recording my friend's Hunter X Hunter DVDs and etc. etc so that I could not update!! SORRY!!!!
---- Rei ----
Where are you Kai?
After Mr Dickenson's phone call, we decided to split up and search for Kai in different directions. I took the western suburbs, where Biovolt was situated. I promised Mr D that if I found anything about Kai, I'd give him a call. That was the least I could do, seeing as I had been Kai's room mate up until now.
Mr D said you were with Voltaire and Kate . . . what were you doing?
The abbey loomed closer. Some distance further, I could just make out the Biovolt headquarters, towering above everything else. Which one should I go in first? The abbey, where Kai said he had grown up, or Biovolt, where his grandfather was sure to be? I ran up the pathway, drawing closer to the abbey, when a black limousine pulled up beside me.
"Rei?"
---- Max ----
We were looking for Kai, me and Tyson, in the northern suburbs. Heck, I dunno why Tyson even thought about looking here. Except that maybe because there was a lot of fast food stores around. Or maybe it was just his stomach that led us here.
Anyway, so we were looking for Kai.
"Hey Max," Tyson called from a hotdog stand. "C'mere!"
"Wassup Tyson?"
I honestly hope this had nothing to do with fast food.
"I got a call from Rei," he replied, shoving a hotdog into his mouth and swallowing it whole. I still can't believe he can do that. "He says that Kai is back at the hotel again. But he won't talk to him. It seems like he got beaten up pretty bad."
What were we waiting for? Besides, of course, Tyson. He was paying for yet another THREE hotdogs and two cans of soft drink. When he had done so, I dragged him to the nearest bus stop and shoved him into the next bus that went back to the hotel.
---- Kai ----
"Kai, where'd you go?"
"Mr D was looking all over for you!"
"It was - nothing. I was just meeting my grandfather."
How could I tell them? I was to betray them once again. I looked into the faces of my team mates, the ones who called me their friend. Guilt wrenched at my heart, tearing at my conscience, driving me to the brink of insanity.
But still. They were bombarding me with questions, even before I had gotten the chance to have a shower and calm myself down. I still had cuts on my arms and my torso was still black and blue after that beating. I couldn't even move my finger with some sort of pain being inflicted on any part of my body. Damn, it didn't feel good.
"Just meeting your grandfather?"
It was Rei's voice, and he sounded incredulous. What, didn't he believe me?
"Yes, I was JUST meeting my grandfather."
"If you were," he said slowly, "then why do you have so many injuries?"
Damn him and his sharp senses. I couldn't fool him. Something pressed against my leg, in my pocket. A sharp stab went into my heart. Oh yes, how could I forget? The very object that had induced my betrayal the first time round had somehow found its way back to me. Again. But this time, it felt heavy on my conscience.
Black Dranzer.
---- Tyson ----
Dragoon flashed suddenly. It was reacting almost angrily to whatever was in Kai's pocket. I shivered. Dragoon usually was very good-natured. He never got mad at anything. Until now. I knew Kai saw him flash.
But he didn't say anything.
So I just left it. I seriously think there's a problem with my brain. I usually just say whatever comes to my mind, but this time, I think that Kai would be better off if I left him alone. That is, only for a while. He'd have to say it eventually.
Eventually. I wonder when this 'eventually' will be?
---- Kai (several hours later) ----
There's this weird feeling in my stomach. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because of the bashing, but I can't be too sure. I've never felt it before, but it seemed oddly like - guilt . . . and shame. Yes, that was it. I was sick to the stomach because I was ashamed of myself and guilty for betraying my loyal team mates.
When Tyson's Dragoon began to glow angrily, I knew it was because of my Black Dranzer. No, not MY Black Dranzer. I didn't want it, so technically, Black Dranzer wasn't mine. I just had it in my trouser pocket, that was all. It wasn't of my own free will because I was forced to take it, otherwise Kate would die. Why was it that every time I got rid of this dark bit-beast, my grandfather always had a way to get it back to me?
"I hope you're feeling better, Kai."
"Yeah man, we're with you all the way."
"Everything's gonna be fine now that we've found you again."
"We'll win this tournament together!"
Their voices. My team mates. The ones that I had betrayed once before and now will betray again. I buried my face into my hands, that overwhelming feeling of shame taking over my senses. Drat that woman! If she hadn't come into my life, Voltaire - I could not bear to call him grandfather any more - would have left me alone and I wouldn't be feeling so sick of myself now!
A sharp pain drilled into the side of my upper torso, temporarily paralysing my brain's thoughts. All I could do was register a groan and clench my fist. The pain gradually ebbed away and I could breathe again. When I did, I drew out Black Dranzer from my pocket. The bit gleamed maliciously in the light when I looked at it. Our first tournament was tomorrow morning and it was us against the All Stars. Voltaire was sure to be present, making sure I took their's teams bit-beasts. The bit gleamed again.
"I can't take their bit-beasts again!" I half-yelled at it. "I CAN'T!"
[I also want you to receive the technology Tala has embraced, inside your body]
Remembering those words made my blood run cold. Oh yes, how could I forget? Voltaire expected me to be back at the abbey tonight, when everyone else was asleep. Then I would receive what he called 'technological updating', meaning that I would become heartless, emotionless and just a machine used to obey commands. If that were so, then all of my memories would have to be erased. My team mates, the good feelings I had - but never shared - when I was with them, the words Kate told me, my loyalty to the Bladebreakers . . .
. . . and my defiance. I would forget all of what I had said to myself just then, about not being able to take people's bit-beasts away again. I would forget it all and just be a dog that obeyed his master's orders and was at his disposal. A dog, like Tala.
"I won't forget any of this," I vowed. "You hear that Voltaire? I WON'T FORGET THIS!"
---- What's Going to Happen in Chapter Eight ----
"It's time for the third session of All Stars against Bladebreakers!"
Kai stepped up to the arena, eyes flat and lifeless. He brought out a black Beyblade, which glinted hauntingly in the stadium. Our team sucked in our breaths, shocked beyond words. He held it to his launcher.
"IT'S TIME TO END THIS!"
---- End of Chapter Seven ----
A/N: heyoz, ya miss me??
This chapter is shorter than the others, partly because I'm also working on The Dranon Heiress. I wanted to finish off this fic and the other one before I started any NEW ones. It's just too much of a work load if I had FOUR stories to update (including my long-forgotten Neon Genesis Evangelion one - Imperfection).
I've just found out just how DROP DEAD GORGEOUS Illumi and Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter are!!!!! At first, I thought Hisoka was just plain idiotic. That was, of course, before I saw his OTHER side - when he had his hair down, and when he was coming out of the shower. I was just like . . . DROOL!!!!!!!!!!! Just thinking about him like that is enough to turn me into putty for several hours on end.
Illumi, however, was a different matter. As soon as I saw him, my mind went into overdrive. I just kept thinking - WHOA, MAJOR BABE HERE!!!!!!!!!! He's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And etc. etc.
Then, of course, I started to read Cherrie's fics, which then proceeded to contaminate my mind with ideas about Hisoka/Illumi slash. Her fics ROCK!!!!!!!!! My favourites so far are: 'Luminescence', 'In a Manner of Speaking', 'Epidemic', 'Yours Truly, Hisoka', 'The House', 'Curse' and 'Silence'. Then I found 'Assassin for a Lover' by Nikki, and loved that too.
So you see, I'm a big fan of Hisoka/Illumi and I don't mind if people think I'm a hentai (after all, 'Assassin for a Lover' is rated R). I just like it and nothing's gonna change it!!!!!
SO . . . . .
