SD: Ok, I just re-loaded this chapter cos of the weird symbols and also the fact that at the end of a line it deletes the "s so… Yeah… Erm, this school is meant to be in Japan, but I've never been there before so I have no idea what it's like! Don't sue me if they don't learn Social Studies or have mid-year exams! That's it for now, and this chapter is really just a time-filler (if there's such a word) to show that half a year's past already. And as Caz so "wonderfully" pointed out, the Bladebreakers probably learn much harder stuff than what Rei's testing Max on below, but I couldn't think of anything else!

ASK NO QUESTIONS TELL NO LIES – By Sacred Dog

CHAPTER 7 {[AN:- another un-named chapter, tell me if you can think of a name! Thx]}

--

"Talking"

~Thinking~

/Talking to Bit beast/

//Bit beast talking//

::Creepy dark voice Kai hears::

--

There's always a time for everything... And now it was mid-year EXAM TIME!!

Tyson was panicking, as he would, but the rest of the team were much calmer. Rei was testing Max on his Social Studies.

"Highest mountain?"

"Er... I know this... Uh... Oh yeah! Mr Everest!"

"Correct!" Dizzi chimed in. Max beamed proudly. "But don't you think those questions are a little too easy? How about... What is the height of Mt Everest?"

"8848 meters. Or 29,029 feet." {[AN: Don't sue me if it's incorrect, I got it from a webpage through google.com]}

Max, Rei, Tyson and Kenny all turned around.

"Oh, so Mr Sourpuss is back to being Mr Know-it-all, eh?"

Their team leader ignored Tyson and turned to Kenny. "Do you have Dranzer?"

The Chief frowned. "No, Kai, I don't. You never gave your blade to me. Why? Can't you find it?"

Kai said nothing and turned around to go back to the boarding house.

"Do you need help to find Dranzer?" Kenny asked, worried, but got no response. "I hope he hasn't really lost it..."

**

~It's gotta be his blade... But he's got a bit beast...~ Kyla looked at Kai's blade one more time before placing it back under his pillow where she'd found it. ~Maybe it really is him... Yet he doesn't seem to remember me or his past...~ She flopped back down on her bunk and closed her eyes, deep in thought.

~~~~~Flashback~~~~~

"No matter where or how far away you are, you will always be with me – in here." The Kai-like boy from Kyla's dreams pointed to his chest, where his heart was.

"Always?" The little blue-haired girl beside him looked up with a glint of hope.

"Always and forever," the boy assured her, squeezing her hand, then added in a whisper, "I promise."

~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~

"You were never one to break a promise," Kyla muttered. "And why should you start now?" ~If it really his him, though, then what made him so cold and...~

The rattling of the doorknob and some banging interrupted her thoughts.

~Oops...~ Kyla couldn't help giggling when she heard a male voice swear; she had locked the door while she was inspecting Dranzer, and now she stood up and went to unlock it.

"What is your problem, girl?" Tala growled at her coldly.

"Er... Sorry..." Kyla tried to hide her amusement, seeing Tala stumble through the door. Then she saw a figure behind him.

Kai glared at her suspiciously and Tala sneered.

"That no-good girl's probably got it."

"I have a name, you know," she hissed at Tala, then turned to Kai. "Got what?" she queried, hiding her guilt and putting on an innocent face.

"My blade," Kai stated simply.

"Nope, don't have it," Kyla replied cheerfully. ~Dammit, why am I lying to him?~ Then she added with concern, "Can't you find it?"

Kai, still looking at her suspiciously, climbed onto the top bunk and lifted up his pillow. He grasped his blade tightly, then that disturbing voice came again...

::Your blade holds valuable information... So does hers... Have you seen it? Of course not – she makes sure of that...::

Then it faded away, but the words still echoed through Kai's mind. ~What information? What about her blade? What the heck are they talking about?!~

He sighed, deciding to forget it for the time being, and sat back against the wall in his usual position. {[AN: Again, arms and legs folded, eyes closed]}

Kyla blinked. ~Is he stupid or just nice? If he knew I took it, which I'm sure he does, wouldn't he have at least said something?~

"He'll get you when you least expect it," Tala said as if reading her mind.

Kyla turned to look at him, frowning.

He rolled his eyes. "No point lying when it's that obvious."

Kyla stared at him for a moment, face totally blank and as unreadable as Kai's usually was. ~Baka. I can never sort that guy out... Is he still working for Biovolt...?~ She pushed the question to the back of her head, then shrugged and went into the kitchen.

"Shouldn't you be studying?" she asked him randomly, not really caring.

"I could say the same about you."

"Whatever."

SD: Heh, how was that? Oh and, in the last chapter, and possibly this one, there are funny symbols that look like capital D's with a line through it... I don't know why they're there, but I think it's only because I'm using a Mac... Anyway, read and review! Over and out!
