GOB: I don't know what I was thinking...
Kai: Neither do I.
Akira: Shut up Kai. What do you mean GOB?
GOB: Brad Best... a clown... My mind is messed.
Akira: So? That's how you made it to 75 reviews!
GOB: YOUR RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! RORY DISCLAIMER!
Rory: Huh? I'm back!
GOB: Yup.
Rory: *sigh* Well, just check the other chapters for disclaimers.
GOB: Good enough. Starting chapter now!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(11:30am)
{Takes place right after last chapter's last sequence thingy}
She suddenly felt very faint. The ground seemed to rise up to meet her, and the last thing she heard was a sinister voice saying.
"You will all be mine. Your powers will be mine. The world will be mine!"
Kai suddenly appeared and caught her before she fell, and quietly said,
"We can't escape. It's time we faced Them."
Bren and Tea glanced at another and nodded. They knew what he was talking about. And they were scared. Very scared.
The four waited for the police, and soon, with the rest of the teams, they arrived.
"Oh my god..." Tamara whispered, as the others were just shocked into silence, it was then she caught sight of Akira, and rushed over, along with everyone else.
"Shit, what happened to her?" Lee asked, glancing back at the Vampire's body, which the police were covering with a white sheet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOB: Sorry, I just wanted to give Lychee Fairy a big THANK-YOU for giving me the inspiration for this chapter during an MSN conversation. With her help, along with AzN*PyRo*ArCaDa, DragonBlade, and the other authors/FF.net users on my MSN list for all there help. And if anyone else would like to become another "advisor" for my fic, or just want to chat, to e-mail me/review me. Thanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai, Bren and Tea glanced at one another. Bren finally spoke up,
"Finding the body really shocked her. She blacked out just a little while ago."
As Bren spoke, Kai's eyes glazed over, but no one noticed this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Kai's Mind)
"Kai, you must tell the others what happened in the past." Tael's soft voice whispered through the mazes of Kai's mind. Kai sighed softly and responded,
"I know, but it's going to be hard. We've kept it secret for so long . We'll wait until Akira wakes and then we'll tell the others tonight."
Tael smiled and nodded. He then took a step back, and disappeared from the confines of Kai's mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(11:45am)
"Hey, Lee, Enrique." Kai said, glancing at the time. "Get going to the arena, your matches are starting soon, and everyone else who wants to watch. The rest of us will be at the Gray Nuns Hospital."
The others nodded and sped off. The only people who went to the arena were teams 2, 5 and Derick and Cally. The rest went with the Police to the hospital, where they attempted to revive Akira.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(12:30pm)
{Hospital}
"Ow, my head hurts." Akira moaned rubbing her head as she struggled to get up. She opened her eyes fully, remembering what had happened, and started asking questions,
"Oh my god! Is that guy okay? Who shot him? What am I doing here? What's going on???"
Bren immediately went to his sister and explained her fainting, and that the vampire was dead. When he told her that she began to shake, but let her brother continue. Bren then asked her a question,
"Akira, the Police want to talk to us, us being you, me, Tea, and Kai. You up to it?" He got a nod in return, and smiled softly. He then continued, "Well, then I'll send them in. They've already talked to us."
With that he left, casting one last reassuring glance at his sister.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(12:45pm)
Team 2 and Team 5 burst into the hospital, asking if Akira was okay.
"She's fine, a little shaken up, but fine." Bren said, "So who won?"
Enrique immediately pouted as Lee said,
"We did of course!" Everyone laughed as the door to the room with Akira opened.
"That was fast." Tea thought, as she quickly walked to her friend. But Akira just pulled away, and said, without looking at anyone,
"Can we go now?"
The others glanced at one another and were about to leave, when once again, people burst into the hospital.
Kai's looked shocked, and gasped, "Kei, Tia, Ria! What the fuck are you all doing here?"
Tea laughed, and said, "I invited them silly! I thought it was due time for the Hiwatari kids to get together!"
"So, these are the rest of your brothers and sisters?" Ray asked, then burst out laughing at what happened next.
Ria, catching sight of Kai, had suddenly screamed, "KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!" and ran and jumped into his arms happily crying "KAI! KAI! KAI! KAI!" over and over again. If it hadn't been for Kai's fast reflexes, he would have been bowled right over.
"Hey Kai, you never told us you had a twin. Neither did you Tea." Max said, being the first to break out of the temporary shock of seeing two Kai's and two Tea's.
"Really? I'm hurt Kai." Kei said. He looked exactly like Kai, except where Kai had light blue hair, he had dark, and where Kai had dark, Kei had light. Kei's eyes were also a deep brown instead of crimson, there were no blue shark fins and the clothes were completely different.
"Whatever." Kai said as he set down Ria, who had finally stopped yelling "KAI! KAI! KAI! KAI!".
She then saw Akira, and proceeded to do the same thing to her as she had done to Kai.
"AKIRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled and jumped into Akira's arms. Akira hadn't been paying attention to what was going on and was knocked right down! She took one look at Ria, then broke into a huge, gigantic, gargantuan smile, and gave the younger girl a huge hug.
"Ria! It's soooo good to see you again! Tia, Kei, how are you guys? God girl, get off me! You need to lose weight!"
Ria giggled and got off of Akira. Bren relaxed, he had really been worried when Akira had pulled away from Tea, but now she was back to normal.
"Uh-oh."
"Uh-oh what, Bren?" Akira asked. Bren smirked, then replied,
"I was just thinking now that your back to normal, we're really in trouble!" With that he shot off, with Akira in hot pursuit, yelling
"GET BACK HERE YOU CREEP! I'LL SHOW YOU HOW MUCH TROUBLE I CAN REALLY CAUSE!!!" The others just laughed and followed the two out of the hospital.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{GOB: OK, here I'm skipping to the end of the day.}
(10:00pm)
[Just after supper.]
Everyone was lounging around, after having spent the rest of the day, exploring Edmonton. Everybody except Kai, Akira, Ria, Emily, Kenny, and Robert were watching Final Destination II.
Robert had gone downtown to deal with some business he had in Edmonton, Emily and Kenny, had chickened out, and were currently busy discussing new beyblading tactics and designs. Ria had fallen asleep, since it was past her bedtime. Akira had gone to the roof, and Kai had gone out to pick up some papers from Mr. Dickinson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(10:15pm)
Kai shivered slightly as he made his way back to the hotel. It was very windy, and he had gone out without a jacket.
He glanced up and saw something that surprised him. There, sitting all alone, on the roof, was Akira.
She was burying her face into her knees, shaking horribly. Kai took this as a bad sign and quickly made his way to the roof. He heard Tael whisper in his mind,
"Be careful, she's very scared, though she may not show it. Listen to her. Talk to her. Be there for her."
Kai mentally nodded, and hurried up the cold, stone stairs. He saw her sitting there, her black, gold and silver hair flying wildly in the wind, and her violet eyes red from tears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(10:30pm)
"Why did this have to happen. Just as things were finally looking up, my fucking past had to show up again. Why can't I just die. I'm better off dead any-" Here Akira was shocked out of her thought by a hand on her shoulder.
She jerked back, slipping and falling off the ledge, but before she could make it totally over, Kai shot forward and grabbed her hand, pulling her back up.
She fell on the cold rooftop, shaking uncontrollably. When she could speak, she gasped,
"Kai, what the fuck? You nearly scared me to death!" Kai sat down next to her, and looked her straight in the eyes, as he said,
"What are you doing out here alone?"
Akira fidgeted as she thought. She hated it when Kai looked at her like that, she felt as if he could see into her very soul, and that scared her. She responded softly, breaking their eye contact,
"I... I don't know. I just wanted to be left alone to think... I'm... really scared Kai... I... I don't want it to happen again!" Here she burst into tears, while mentally smacking herself for crying in front of him. But what he did next surprised her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(10:45pm)
"I wonder where Akira is. I hope she's okay." Bren though, glancing at the clock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(10:45pm)
Kai reached over to her and put his arm around her shoulder. He sighed and said,
"I know, but you can't let it continue to hurt you, or you'll never be able to get past it." Akira looked up at him, and wiped her tears away. She softly replied,
"It's hard-" But Kai cut her off,
"And it should be. If it was easy, that would mean that it was un- important. You have to keep going, and fighting whatever gets in your way. But remember, just because you've beaten the enemy, doesn't mean you've truly one."
Akira got up, and told Kai she was going inside. She had to think about what he just said, "What did he mean, 'just because you've beaten the enemy, doesn't mean you've truly one'. Didn't it?" She walked down the stairs, unaware of the crimson orbs that followed her until she was out of sight.
"I've never seen her so hurt Tael." Kai thought. Tael slowly replied, "What about when she found out she was adopted?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOB: WOW! Long chapter, you know the drill, read and review!
Kai: Neither do I.
Akira: Shut up Kai. What do you mean GOB?
GOB: Brad Best... a clown... My mind is messed.
Akira: So? That's how you made it to 75 reviews!
