Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade or its Characters, Kay?

Oh crud. I forgot to mention that when a sentence—

That's when someone is being interrupted. -

She had a sweater on. She wasn't stupid enough to go walking in the middle of the night without one.

She was still holding his hand as they walked. Unless you counted when she had put on her sweater, he still had not yet let go.

"Listen, Kai, I'm sorry if I scared you earlier. I needed something to distract me from..." She stopped. She still didn't want him to know.

"From what? Voltaire?" He laughed bitterly. "You can't imagine how hard it is to get him out of your head when he's close."

She cast her eyes down. "I think I can." It was not retaliation. It was pure, simple truth.

He gave her a weird glance. A type of confused concern. "How bad was it?"

Her head snapped up. She wouldn't be so easily intruded upon. But she wanted him to trust her. She was torn between letting him know what happened in detail and just shoving him out.

She didn't answer for a long time. They just kept walking. They had walked through the whole main part of town, in fact. Kai turned onto a road back to the hotel and Elisabeth was pulled with him. She had let him lead and just walked along.

"Terrible." She finally said.

He looked at her. He expected this. They stopped walking.

She began mumbling parts of the flashback. Parts of a memory.

"..We were running so fast, but they were so close. We hid in a bad room. Very bad. My dad came in. He didn't think I'd... well... he didn't know we were in there. He was dead before he knew I was still alive. He died for me. Its my fault!"

Kai strained to hear the muffled ramblings of a subconsciously hurt teen girl.

He heard her finish. "Its all my fault!"

"No, listen Elisabeth; it wasn't your fault. He loved you. You just have to remember."

"But I do remember! I remember too well. He called me Bizzy. So does everyone else now. Everyone but you. Why? Why is life so..." She couldn't finish. She just made a face. She had been panicked and she was calming herself down.

"Elisabeth..."

She smiled. She loved that he called her that. Nobody called her Elisabeth anymore. She wondered if her mother would call her Elisabeth if she were alive.

She looked at Kai. Her face wasn't sad or happy. Neither was she. She just existed. The feeling of empty.

'Orphan!'

The word crossed her mind.

'Wow. I never realised... I never thought of myself as an orphan before. But that's what I am.'

A smiled played on the corners of her lips.

And then Kai did the unexpected. He pressed his lips to hers. This caught her off guard.

'So much for expecting the unexpected.' She thought.

He quickly pulled away and turned around.

She was breathless.

He mumbled a quick "Sorry," and started to walk.

She took a hold of his hand. Not forcing him to stay. Just holding. To let him know she accepted him. And if he accepted that, then he'd stay.

Would he stay?

Earlier...

Tally woke up shortly after she heard a door close. She looked next to her. There's Amelia, but no Elisabeth.

She slipped out of bed, still in her pyjamas.

She opened the door out of her room slightly. She would go unnoticed if there were anyone else in the room. And there was. Elisabeth was slipping on a sweater and Kai looked extremely unhappy. After about a minute she took his hand and they left the room.

Tally smirked. 'Playing tricks again Elisabeth?'

She wondered what Elisabeth was up to. After several minutes she went out on the balcony. She watched Elisabeth and Kai exit the building and turn down a main street.

'Play nicely, now Elisabeth. Play nicely.'

Kai felt her hand on his. He couldn't believe she actually wanted him to stay.

Could she really like him like he liked her? Could he even let her know that?

'A little late Kai. You already did that.' He thought to himself.

He stayed still. He didn't know what to do. What would she do if he stayed?

"Elisabeth, I ..."

"Kai, you don't have to say anything. But you should know, I didn't mind."

'She doesn't mind, you idiot! Stay!'

It was his turn to be breathless.

Tally stayed outside a while. She would wait for Elisabeth. She was admiring the thought of teasing her to bits. Elisabeth would mind. Just blush like crazy. She couldn't remember Elisabeth even liking a boy through all their years as friends. From age six, to age 16, she remained boy-less.

She laughed a little and swept the town with a gaze. She looked down the street below. She saw a two-tone haired boy planting his lips on a girl with black hair

'Oh my gosh! This is so good!'

After a few minutes, she just watched them standing.

Watching...

"Kai." She spoke.

He was no longer pulling to walk away.

He was just still, and so was she.

'Oh, Kai, please stay.' She begged to herself.

"Elisabeth... look. I sort of.. Well.. I like you."

She tried to keep her face still, but inside she was beaming.

'He likes me! Oh yeah, woo hoo!' It seemed her heart did a victory dance.

She had what may be the biggest smile possible on her face. She swallowed and straightened her face.

"Kai... ," She started, "I like you too..."

He whipped around to face her.

This was maybe the one time she refused to look anywhere but in his eyes. She didn't like to look people in the eye often. It seemed they could read her thoughts through her black, white and crimson orbs.

She didn't mind when it was Kai. She didn't mind in the least.

The walked back to their rooms hand in hand. He gave her a light peck on the cheek and swiftly entered his room. She walked into her room and collapsed on the couch, a huge smile showed in the moonlight cast through the balcony doors.

Along with the moonlight, was a shadow.

"Have fun?"

Elisabeth gasped. "Oh Tally you scared me."

Tally let out a giggle.

"Oh damn. You saw, didn't you?"

"Most of it, unless there was more where I couldn't see you guys."

"Oh shut it. That was it and you know it."

"But what a very long It it was." She grinned evilly.

"Just forget it, I'm tired."

"Yeah, I can see how all that woo-ing the boys would get you so exhaust--"

She was interrupted by a pillow hitting her square in the face.

"You're going down!"

"Not if you do first!"

They got into a huge pillow fight, in which Elisabeth was victorious, then collapsed on the couch, laughing.

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

They looked up. A tired-looking Amelia stood in the doorway.

It didn't matter that she was tired. Amelia looked awesome no matter what she was doing. Her white-blond hair glowed in the moonlight. The purple slivers showed attitude.

Elisabeth used to admire her too. Now, at this very moment. She could care less.

Her and Tally exchanged glances. They both picked up pillows and hurled them at her.

"What was that for?"

They giggled.

"We're tired, but we could go to bed without little target practice." Tally smirked. "We're going to need it tomorrow to defend ourselves once you and I start spreading the word about a certain something that happened down below..."

She stopped. Elisabeth was sending her a death-glare.

"You wouldn't dare..."

"Oh come on Biz! You know I wouldn't really."

She laughed. "Okay. Lets go to bed. I have to blade tomorrow in the tournament."
