Normal P.O.V
"Hey guys! We're having pizza for dinner! Do the two of you don't mind right?" Max asked Kai and Jeni in his usual hyper voice.
"Sure," Jeni answered before turning around to ask, "What about you, Kai?"
"Whatever." Came the reply.
Jeni looks at Kai with an evil smile before shouting, "Hey, Max! Kai wants an extra spicy pizza with lots of pepper and–" She was suddenly cut off by Kai's hand covering her mouth.
"I did not say that." Kai hissed. Jeni tugs Kai hand away before replying, "So?" Growling in frustration, Kai turns to face the rest of the Bladebreakers saying, "Jeni will share that pizza with me."
"Er...okay..." Max starts to dial the number to order the pizza. It took awhile before Jeni finally registered what was happening. "NO! I don't want to share with him!!!" Jeni screamed in exasperation.
"Sorry...too late..." Max said, smiling sheepishly before hanging up the phone.
"Wha...they have spicy pizzas?" Jeni asked wide-eyed.
"Yea...unique huh?" Max replies, causing Jeni to sweat-drop while the rest of the Bladebreakers, excluding Kai who was smirking, laughed.
Jeni's Pov
'Yuck...this stuff is gross...who ever thought they would actually sell pizza with chili...' I thought to myself as I force myself to swallow the piece of pizza. Looking at Kai, I found him eating his own piece casually. 'How does he do that?!' I thought angrily. I started to tear as the burning sensation on my tongue and in my throat became unbearable. 'I hate spicy stuff...stupid Kai.'
"Is the pizza too hot for you?" Kai asked, smirking.
"No. Of course not." I replied. I am not going to let him win...
"Why are you crying then?" Tyson asked, smirking too. We were sitting at the dinner table, all seven of us.
"I'm crying because...because the pizza is so delicious!" I lied.
"Well, maybe you would like to finish these four pieces. I'm too full." Kai said, before leaving the dinner table and heading for the yard. I glared angrily at his retreating back before turning back to ask, "Do you guys want any?"
"No thanks." All five or them answered in unison. I scowled, before forcing another piece of pizza down my throat. 'This is gonna hurt...'
The Nationals were just three days away and because of that, we finally got down to intense training. With Kai training us. And one thing I learnt was that when Kai says intense training, he means it.
So on the first day of the intense training, we did fifty push-ups, a hundred sit-ups and a lot of running. We also practiced launching and by the end of the day, I swear I was going to kill Kai and hang him over a bridge or something.
"Jeni, we'll have the rematch first thing tomorrow morning." Kai said, interrupting my thoughts of killing him. In reply, I glared at him, "Fine." But this is far from fine!!! He must have planned this beforehand!!! He knew that all that intense training would make me feel like shit the next day that I wouldn't be able to beat him! Argh...
"Hey, you better stretch or you won't be able to even stand up the next day." Ray said, smiling casually.
"I know..." I answered, tired and annoyed.

The next morning, both Kai and Jeni both woke up early. Jeni had spent her night in a separate room from Tyson, Ray, Max and Kai while Kenny and Hilary had gone home. Fortunately for her, only Jeni's leg muscles ached in the morning from the running she did the previous day.
They decided to have the match in the backyard and after both beybladers had finish preparing for their rematch, they launch their beyblades into the beydish (A/N: is it beydish or just dish?) and the match began. Sparks flew as both blades hit each other.
"Dranzer, attack!" Kai ordered his bitbeast. Jeni did the same and after a few moments, both bitbeast emerged from the beyblades and started to fight each other in a seemingly never-ending battle. That was when Kai's beyblade managed to attack its opponent from a different angle, and hit it out of the beydish (or whatever it's called).
Jeni's beyblade flew pass her head as her eyes widened in surprise. She had lost the rematch. Turning around, she picked up her beyblade and placed it in the pocket of her baggy jeans. When she turned back, the first thing she saw was an outstretched hand. Looking up, she then realized it was Kai's hand and took it. "Great battle." The both of them said almost at the same time, smiling at each other, before Jeni said, "At least now we're even and Tyson won't feel so bitter." Smirking, Kai turned around and walked back into the house.
Jeni's Pov
"Kai won! I told you he would win!" Tyson kept shouting at breakfast. If only he would stop rubbing it in...but then, it felt weird being beaten...oh well, I just have to work hard and make sure I beat him again! Speaking of working hard...I have a really bad feeling Kai is going to give us intense training again...
And sometimes, I just hate it when I'm right. Once again, we did a thousand stuff...and once again, I really want to rip Kai's head off his neck, and that I would have done if I wasn't so tired and worn out. Taking a seat on the bench and looking up at the afternoon sky, I listened to a conversation between Ray and Kai. Okay...not listen. Eavesdrop. And spy.
"Tyson and Hilary look like a perfect couple." Ray said, laughing as he watched them bickering.
"Shut up." Kai replied, his voice filled with anger and fury.
"Hey...chill, I was just joking..." Rei replied, arms raised defensively.
"Whatever." Kai replied coldly before going indoors.
Okay...that was weird. Don't tell me Kai...does Kai...
Oh, shoot. I suddenly remembered that I had to go home. I don't have anymore spare-clothes and right now I'm wearing the ones that Mrs. Hiwatari had so kindly provided me with the other day. Besides, if Father find out I'm not in the Hiwatari house, he would get suspicious...and since Kai is likely not to tell Father about my membership with the Bladebreakers, I don't need to irritate him anymore...But Father might still find out. Sighing in frustration, I stood up and left Tyson's house.
"Hey, where's she going?" was the last thing I heard before I stepped out of the house and walked towards my own.
Kai's Pov
Damnit. What the hell is wrong with me? Ray was only joking, and besides, I can't do anything about them. Them...they really looked like a couple just now...but why am I behaving like this? Haven't I decided to stop thinking of her? We were never meant to be...hell, she doesn't even know I like her. Argh...if it wasn't for Jeni, I still might have a chance...but now we're engaged. And breaking this engagement would only cause Father to be upset, which could result to the loss of my freedom...... Life sucks.
"Hey Kai! Jeni just walked out of the gate without saying goodbye." Max suddenly appeared in front of me and said.
"Where did she go?" I asked. What could that girl be up to now?
Max shrugged. "She didn't say anything." I got up and headed out of the door. "She probably went home." I told Max before leaving Tyson's house. I needed a break. I -might- look for Jeni too. Might.
Normal Pov
As Jeni walked up the steps to her room, she felt the same loneliness she always did when at home. No one here knew who she really was. No one cared for her. The only people in this house were the servants and cook, but their job wasn't to care for her. Their job was to clean the house or to cook the meals. Why should they even bother with their employer's daughter? She wasn't paying them.
Jeni entered her room and collected her stuff to have a bath. 'If only the water would wash away the pain.' She thought bitterly as she turned on the tap.
Meanwhile, Kai was just walking around. He didn't really know where he was going, and didn't really bother either. All he knew was that he needed to get away from Tyson's house. Away from that 'couple' as Ray had described. Unknowingly, Kai had arrived at the beach. There, he sat down on the soft sand, listening to the sound of waves.
Jeni's pov
Who would have thought that father was at home.
"Jeni, where were you the whole of yesterday?" He asked furiously.
"With Kai." I replied, knowing it was a good enough reason.
"Hmm...How's the relationship between the both of you doing?" He asked.
Shrugging a little before receiving a frown from my father, I replied, "Fine I guess..." He was about to reply, but I stood up and left the house. Why? Who knows...maybe because I couldn't take the pressure anymore...but whatever the reason, I left the house.
Where should I go now?
Kai pov
This is getting boring. And sitting here is just making me more depressed. Maybe I should go home...
Just then, I saw an approaching figure. Who would be walking here at this hour? It was probably past 9 PM already. I couldn't distinguish the features of the figure; after all, it was too dark. Squinting, I realized the figure was a girl as she passes a street lamp. Could it be Hilary? By then, the girl was only about a meter away from where I was sitting.
"What's wrong?" a familiar voice asked. I was filled with disappointment as I realized she wasn't Hilary.
"It's none of your business." I replied coldly. Why was she here? A long silence followed as she sat down next to me. Watching at the waves rise and fall, I ignored her. However, the silence was broken when she quietly asked, "You're in love with Hilary, aren't you?"
Snapping my head towards her in shock, I asked, "How did you know?" Jeni shrugged, "It's just obvious."
"Hn..." I should have been more careful...
"What do you plan to do?" she asked, looking at me expectantly. I stared at her. What did she expect me to do? What was there to be done? What could I do?
"Nothing." I replied, before turning my attention back to the waves.
"Nothing? Are you that pathetic?" She asked, her expression was one of confusion.
"We're engaged," I explained, "besides, what can I do?" I asked the question I couldn't answer. She looks at me, but says nothing. Only after a while did she softly reply, "If you had disagreed with that whole engagement thing, you still might have had a chance..."
"Yea...but what's done is done. There is nothing I can do to change the past." I said. This was followed by yet another long silence...
"You really ARE pathetic." Jeni said.
"Will you quit saying that?"
"I would if you wer..." That's it, she deserves this. Quickly, I got up and started to tickle her. Fortunately, she was really ticklish; maybe I should do this whenever she irritates me...
"Stop...laugh...that...gasp...You eviiilllll..."Jeni squirmed around as I continued to torture her.
"Serves you right for calling me pathetic."
