Before you read....
I was wondering if I could get some feedback on whether or not I should do a 2-3-chapter prequel to TFB. Focus on Elisabeth, I could show you what it was like shortly before and after her father was murdered. It's just a thought though. And if enough people are willing to read and review about it, then tell me and I'll write one. If only one person wants it, and 3 others don't, then it's not a very prosperous idea. Please tell me what you think -
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade or its characters. I do own my OCs, and yes, the new one in this chapter too.
The Bladebreakers were asleep where they had happened to be last night. Elisabeth and Kai, to name a few, had been extremely close, and thus Elisabeth woke up with his arm around her shoulder. She blushed wildly at this discovery, but after a look around the room, she found that no one else was awake. She knew this would probably be a dent in Kai's pride because she knew he didn't want the guys to know yet.
She tried to pry free from his firm grip.
'Holy crap! He's this strong when he's asleep??'
She tried for a minute or s, but she didn't want to wake him. It was only 6.00 a.m. She finally had to settle with just standing and letting him topple over. It probably wasn't the best idea, but it was an idea none-the-less.
She started to pull forward and could feel him leaning on her shoulder.
'Please don't let him wake up!' She begged to no one in particular.
She leaned forth a little more and Kai rolled into the crease between her and the couch.
She bit her lip. His face was pressed down to the small of her back ... that was a little further than she'd like him to be.
She told herself to screw the whole 'take it slow, and he wont wake up' idea and just go for more of a 'break for all hell' type thing. If he got any lower ... well.... She didn't want to think of him getting any lower.
She stood up and Kai's head fell to the couch, which wouldn't have been a bad thing if she hadn't neglected to remove the remote control she didn't know she had been sitting on.
There was a sharp bang and an "Ow, damnit!". Elisabeth winced. She stood there innocently with her arms behind her back, waiting for his swearing to subside.
He looked up at her and smirked. "You..." He growled and leapt from the couch, still smirking. She made a break for one of the bedrooms and made it, but he wedged his way in before she could close the door. He shut it after entering and wrapped his arms around her waist. She was laughing and he flipped her sideways, holding her up only with one arm. She squirmed and giggled, he was laughing too. He switched to holding her up bridal style.
She giggled and put an arm around his neck. He laughed at that and told her, "Now you're completely at my mercy." , with a devilish grin.
She put one hand to her mouth in a mock gasp. He laughed
"What shall I do with you?"
She made a faked thinking about it, then looked shocked. "Do you even have to ask?" She said, moving closer to him.
They were almost lip-locked when they heard a noise from outside. It sounded vaguely like Tyson shouting "Ow! Amelia, what did you do that for?"
Kai's attention had been turned to the door, and after hearing that, he looked at her apologetically. He softly placed her back on the ground and walked out to the main room, closing the door behind himself.
She sighed and walked outside onto the balcony. The balcony in the boys' room was through a bedroom and the one in the girls' was through the main room. She stood on the side-edge of the balcony and jumped to the one on the left. She then went inside the girls' main room, out the door and into the guys' room. Everybody was awake by then and they all looked up when she entered.
"Where have you been?" Amelia asked playfully. She knew Elisabeth wouldn't give the real answer since Kai was so obviously flustered when he walked out of his room. Obvious to Amelia, that is.
Elisabeth kept a straight face and shortly replied, "Walk."
She went and sat down with the group. Kai, at the other end of the room was looking disappointed.
"So why are you guys up so early anyway?" She asked them.
Amelia suddenly looked murderous. "THIS," She pointed at Tyson, "Had his hands down his pants when I woke up, mumbling my name, so I whacked him and he had guts enough to say ow!" Tyson was blushing fifty shades of red.
She fumed. Elisabeth had never seen her this mad and stifled some giggles. "It's not funny!" Amelia snapped.
Elisabeth, suddenly deadpan serious nodded quickly, "Oh, of course." And broke out into a smirk. Amelia glared daggers.
Amelia was then, quick to strike back with a sneer. "So what had you up so early, hm?"
Kai was distressed. He looked at Elisabeth, eyes wide, a look of horror splayed across his face.
Elisabeth looked at Amelia after a glance at Kai and coolly countered "I was sitting on the remote, so my ass hurt intolerably by around 5.30, so I decided to get up." It was effortless and plain. Nobody could argue with that. She had even set herself a suitable time for a walk.
Amelia glared, once again. She knew she couldn't argue without looking like a bitch. Elisabeth got her, once again. She laughed. Elisabeth had a contorted look of pleasure on her face, and a slight smile to go with it.
They were then laughing together and nobody understood why. Kai had a look of relief on his face that only Max noticed.
He quickly shrugged it off. "We should probably eat, then get in a quick practice before the competition." He suggested. Kai nodded and everyone stayed silent in agreement.
Today they went down to the restaurant to eat breakfast. They all had waffles, among Tyson's various other things
The bus arrived after their practice and Elisabeth found a seat close to the back. Soon afterwards, Kai took the seat next to her.
"Hey." He said. He sounded remorseful and upset.
She glanced at him. "Hey," She replied shortly.
"Elisabeth—"
"Why?"
He was rather bowled over by this. 'Why? Why would she ask me that? What does she—'
"Why do you care what they think so much?"
"I..."
'What do I do? I have no idea why I care what they think so much. It's not like what they think about my love life... wait a minute... my love life? Whoa boy. Am I saying I love Elisabeth?'
Her eyes bore into his.
"Does pride mean more than affection to you?"
"No, of course not."
Tears were in her eyes. She cast their steady gaze out the window.
"Then just more than me?"
This surprised him more than ever.
"No!" He almost shouted, looked around and quieted himself. "Look, Elisabeth, you mean a lot to me. It's as simple as that. But I don't know what the guys would say, and I suppose it might matter what they think..."
She swallowed hard. The lump in her throat was tremendous in size.
"Why don't you just tell me what you mean Kai." It was more a statement than anything else.
"What I mean..." He mumbled in an undertone. "What I mean..." The bus rolled to a stop. She stood up and walked right by him and everyone else to the front of the bus. The second the doors opened she was out ad walking swiftly to the ready room. She even passed the Demolition Boys without so much as a glance.
When she turned along the hallway and nobody on her team was close by, she broke into a run.
At the end of the hallway, where their room is, she flung the door open and walked in.
'I can't believe I'm being such a child.' She noted, getting some tissue and drying her eyes.
Back at the bus...The team emptied off slowly. Remy and Tally had walked off a little faster to get Elisabeth and Amelia had stayed behind. Hilary had been studying stats the whole ride with Kenny and was now a little carsick. She rushed ahead as well.
When everyone had exited the bus but Kai, Amelia cornered him.
"What the hell did you do to her?"
Kai looked up wearily. Amelia could now see he was a man down. He was emotionally beaten and tired.
She softened and pulled him into a small hug. He just stood, accepting her. He was thinking about Elisabeth. The tears in her eyes he had wanted to kiss away. But she hurt too. This was probably hard for her too.
"Kai," Amelia started, partially reading his thoughts. "You know what you should do." She released him and walked from the bus, catching up with everyone else.
Elisabeth sat on the bench, fingering her blade. Every detail, every edge...
'Ow.' She thought, cutting her finger on a tip of a blade. Every sharp edge...
Tally burst through the door, followed by Remy and a very green Hilary.
"Guys... I don't think I should have run..." She blasted into the bathroom, closing the door.
Elisabeth winced at the sounds of Hilary being explosively sick.
Tally was out of breath again, her asthma finally caught up with her. She took out her puffer.
Remy was the first to break the silence.
"Bizzy, sweetie are you Okay?" She asked, walking over to Elisabeth. She could only vaguely see where the tears had been, but she knew they had been there. (A/N: My friends get all "Motherly" and stuff when I've been crying too. Here it's a closeness issue. Remy wouldn't do this with Amelia often, or anyone else, really. Elisabeth, Tally and Amelia complete the list.)
Elisabeth looked to the side. "Remy, I'm fine. I was just having a problem with—"
"With Kai?"
Elisabeth was silent.
"I knew about it a long time ago. I'm just disappointed you didn't tell, girl."
Elisabeth let out a small chuckle. She looked at Remy. "I'm sorry. Tally and Amelia found out, but Kai didn't want anyone to know. Forgive me?" She made a child-like pout with her bottom lip and batted her eyelashes.
"Well...I dunno... This could have been a serious offense! I'll have to think about it." She winked and smirked.
"Oh, come on Rem!"
Remy laughed. "Of course I forgive you."
"Maid of Honor?" Elisabeth asked.
"Maid of Honor." Remy confirmed. They laughed. Maid of Honor was something they started as kids. (An insider thing. You'll find out if I write the Prequel. I actually used to do the same thing with my friends. Corny, huh?)
The Bladebreakers walked in to their laughter. Most of them, anyway.
They were all grinning, which mustn't have been a good thing. They looked at Tally and Remy.
"You guys aren't supposed to be in here." Rei hinted.
Tally pouted. "Do we have to go?"
Rei laughed. "You're cute, and yes, but since you're here, I bet you'll want to know this."
He looked at the Bladebreakers. Elisabeth looked up and noticed Kai was missing.
"Who's going to tell them guys?" Rei teased.
"Why doesn't Elisabeth? She knew before we did." Tyson made them laugh. Elisabeth was actually, quite in the dark about whatever it was they were going on about.
After their roars of laughter, Kai walked in. He was a little flushed, and looked embarrassed.
Rei, Max and Tyson made a sort of conference huddle.
You could hear them mumbling, then an, "Okay, Okay!"
The resumed a line, grinning broadly. Kai looked down, redder than ever.
The girls looked up, confused, and Hilary walked from the bathroom, looking happier than before.
Tyson opened his mouth and waited. He had to get everyone's attention before... "You never told us you were going out with the sourpuss!"
He started snickering. Rei and Max blushed when they saw glares from Tally and Remy. Tyson laughed even more until just before Amelia walked in the door.
She flicked him in the back of the head. "Don't tease you idiot. They're luckier than you, seeing as you can't even get a girlfriend."
Tyson blushed, and so did Hilary. It seemed most of the room was a vibrant shade of red.
Tally, Amelia and Remy then started laughing.
They walked out of the room and left everyone to wallow in embarrassment before Kenny started the analysis.
"So supposedly, on the other team Bryan wont be blading today. They're putting up their new member. His name is supposedly Andrew Mishkovna. His stats are unknown, but if they're substituting him for Bryan then he must be pretty good. I suggest that Tyson battle him. Next up is Tala. Is it alright if I put you against him Elisabeth?"
"No problem. I'd love to kick that guy's ass."
"..Right. After that is Ian. He was supposedly working and changing Wyborg's stats a little, so mine probably aren't completely accurate. Now I think you'd be best against him Rei. After that is Spencer. I don't know which on of you is blading but—"
"Max will. I'm being saved for if we tie up. I'll be fighting Bryan, remember?" He snapped at Kenny.
"Okay, well Dizzi will give you all stats before the match. Except you Tyson. I figured you'd be best at going in without strategy, but you'll have to develop one fast. Good luck guys."
They walked out into the arena. Elisabeth was more used to it this time, so no panic attacks. She could beat Tala easily. She could blade circles around him. She'd have to, at least.
The Demolition Boys chose a different way of entering.
The arena of this particular stadium had no roof, and The Demolition Boys were known for standing out in a crowd.
A helicopter zoomed overhead and circled back, lowering itself into the stadium. Each boy jumped out separately. Four of five bladers were out. Then that last blader jumped out....
It seemed that the whole audience gasped collectively as the helicopter then went zooming out.
The fifth Demolition Boy was a girl?
After the first shock, some people, boys, actually started whistling. The girl was gorgeous. Short, pale blond hair fell just below her ears. She had on a gray sweater, similar to the ones the D-Boys wore with a blood red tank over it. She had on baggy brown cargos you couldn't even see her feet under.
Jazz, who had been announcing everyone's entry recovered quickly and finally announced Andy Mishkovna, the fifth member of the Russian team.
Woo! I wrote another chapter. And what another ... rather long chapter it was. I know I promised a bey-battle here, but the chapter was quite long as the starting was prolonged beyond the original plan -
Don't you just love Andy? Lol. You probably don't. She's going to be a nasty wicked little bitch, but can you blame her? Being stuck in the abbey so long, I would be too. I'll update soon, don't worry!
