"You..."
"Your face..."
Kirei smiled and closed her eyes temporarily. So the old one was correct, he did recongnise these...
"Hh!" Kirei inhaled suddenly and her eyes burst open as she quickly took a step back. She saw Kai's outstreched hand and his unbelieving eyes. He touched her face!
"What's going on here?" Tyson's voice reached everyone's ears. "And who is she? And why does she have red triangles on her face just like Kai's blue ones?"
Kirei took a quick look at Tyson and decided to battle some other time. After all, she knew who he was...the world champion beyblader! And besides, Kai's touch made her spine shiver, which is definitely not good. How could she battle with her body shivering? Oh well, she'll get Dranzer...eventually.
Tyson's voice made Max and Rei look away for a moment, and when they looked back, Kirei was gone.
"Hey wait! I just asked a couple of questions, I wasn't going to hurt you or anything!" Tyson called to Kirei, or, in this case, her shadow.
Kai stared hard at his hand, shaking uncontrollably.
"They were real. They really were real," he whispered to himself. Unconciously, he touched his own face. "That means...she came from the abby..."
"Come on, Kai, we're leaving," Rei's voice brought Kai back to reality. "Is everything alright? Who was that girl?"
Kai looked up at his friend.
"I'm fine."
"She was...just a fragment of the past, that's all."
Ok! I'm gonna end it there. It's a little short, but what's more to say? I think this little chapter has been very meaningful, don't you? Don't worry, Chapter Three will be here shortly. Don't forget, comments, reviews, criticism, all welcome! Hope you guys like it so far.
