Title: Is Love enough?
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade, to be honest, if I did, would I write fics about stuff that could happen, when if I owned it, it would happen.
Chapter Fifteen: Goodbye Oliver
A/n: Hmm I'm sure I only have two chapters after this....so...enjoy it while you can :evil laugh:
It had been a week since the news had reached the McGregor mansion. Kim stood as the sunset, looking at the ground, setting her rose onto it gently.
She closed her eyes, allowing tears drop onto the shifted earth. Remembering the worst of the week's events.
-Flashback-
"You still stand by your sister even though you know what she said to poor Kerri!?" Robert yelled at Johnny, his face red with anger and his eye bruised. Johnny simply growled and threw a book at Robert.
"She is our team mate! She has served us before we accepted her! She is a McGregor!" he yelled, his fists clenching, Kim sat in the kitchen, hearing them arguing, tears streaming down her face as Rei comforted her. Rayne was shaking as she made Kim some tea, suddenly she slammed the kettle down onto the side and stormed into the hallway, the sound of a bone breaking was heard and Kim jumped up running out, Robert was standing there with his nose obviously broken, he picked up his suitcase, Tabitha glaring at Rayne, looking like she wanted to kill the young American.
Kim ran in front of Rayne glaring at Tabitha, "Come anywhere near her and I'll fucking murder you...ya hear?" she growled, even though she was still crying. Robert glared, putting his arm around Tabitha's waist.
"I guess we are a team no more" he said gravely.
"Do you even care?" Kim spat glaring coldly at him through her watery eyes. Johnny and Rei stepped up to the girls.
"We are a team who doesn't split. You used to be part of it Robert" Rei said slowly, looking like this was something of little importance. Rayne glared, ready to push Kim aside if Robert said one thing wrong.
The purple haired German simply, muttering something under his breath and led Tabitha out of the house, and into the taxi waiting outside to take them to the airport.
Their third loss.
-end flashback-
Kim looked up, feeling the strong pang of anger that she'd felt the morning after the news had been announced to anyone.
-Flashback-
"You are a lying bitch!" Kim screamed, being held back from Kerri, her hands stained with blood, as was her face, she struggled against Rei's grip as Kerri backed away, holding her cheek with a blooded hand.
"I tell no lie! Why in the name of Lucifer do you think I would return if not to give you bad news?" Kerri said calmly, looking upset, but her eyes showed no sadness, only victory.
Kim broke free of Rei's grip as he seemed to look to Johnny for help, she shoved Kerri into a wall, grabbing her throat tightly, "You killed him, you must have, you fucking bitch, you killed him, you killed him, I know you did!" she screamed, tears gripping the sides of her eyes as she held the girls neck tighter.
Johnny and Rei pulled Kim away, Kim taking parts of Kerri skin with her. Rei took Kimberly by the shoulder, looking into her hurt eyes, "Calm down, I ask you, please" he begged quietly, Kim calming down and falling against him, still spilling with fury.
Johnny was getting the facts from Kerri before the smirking woman left them in their own keep.
-End flashback-
"Poisoned...Oliver, you wouldn't go like that...no way...you never had any enemies..." Kim muttering, gently touching the gravestone, she smiled softly at the words upon it.
'A great friend, a good team mate and the greatest Frenchman to be liked by a Scotsman'
She laughed softly, "I'm glad Johnny added that Oliver, it just seems to fitting...I also thought...maybe you should have one of your paintings placed here...I'm going to put the Black Heart one here, it won't run, we got it laminated...though it feels wrong to do that to such art..." she smiled, talking to him like this...felt right somehow.
She talked to him for an hour, until Rei came to pick her up, she gently touched her shoulder and left a flower on Oliver's grave as they both left, Kim still feeling as angry as ever.
"Kim, you have to let this go...you know Kerri can't have killed him..." Rei said softly,
She clenched her fists, "She did it Rei, I know she did"
"I know you hate her...there is little point in convincing me that she is the murderer...without proof" Rei said still keeping a soft voice so Kim didn't lash out at him.
"She did! Why doesn't anyone believe me!? Why do you think James raped me? Why was he there? He is Kerri's cousin, she got me out of the way. IT'S SO OBVIOUS A BABY CHICK COULD SEE IT!" she screamed at him slamming her fist down on the dash board.
Rei winced, he hated it when Kim lost her temper, it was always hard for her to see reason.
Kim closed her eyes, taking in a shuddering breath. She hated it herself, when she got into moods. She was just so sure that Kerri had murdered Oliver and she was focused on proving it.
She knew that she owed it to Oliver.
"Rei...why have we stopped?" she asked turning towards him and feeling a scream rise to her throat.
There we go....
