"Sister? You have a sister?!" Ian said, disbelievingly.
After training for 12 hours, the Demolition Boys sat in Tala's room, and still hadn't seen Korimi. The redhead told them everything since her arrival.
Taka nodded, "According to Boris I do."
Bryan snorted at this, "bastard is probably lying."
Tala nodded glumly. "Maybe. But-"
"But what?" Bryan said sharply. "Don't tell me you're actually going to believe him Tala."
Tala sighed. "I just can't help but think that it's the truth. I mean I'll have dreams about a girl with sapphire eyes, and I had one last night, they look EXACTLY like Korimi's."
"How do you forget your own sister?" Ian asked, leaning against the wall.
Tala shrugged, "Don't asked me, they're only dreams...."
"And that doesn't make them real." Spencer said. "For all we know Boris could be messing with Tala's head."
"Wouldn't put it passed him" Bryan growled. "God knows, this Abbey has the technology to do things like that, even when we're asleep."
"Hn." Was Tala's only response, what his teammates said made sense, but...he still couldn't shake the feeling that he knew Korimi.
"Where is she anyway?" I an asked, looking at his captain.
"Personal training with Boris..." Tala said bitterly. His teammates exchanged knowing glances, they didn't know the girl but they knew what Boris was doing to Korimi was anything BUT training.
"WHAT?! Mr. D you've GOT to be kidding me!" Tyson practically yelled into the phone.
"What? What is it?" Max asked worriedly, trying to grab the phone from Tyson, but only succeeding in knocking him down.
Sighing, annoyed, Kai pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against and picked up the phone. "What is it?"
"Oh...Kai...I would like you and your team to meet me here at the BBA office. Something has come up. I already have a limo waiting outside the hotel. Rei is already here."
"Fine." He hung up the phone and saw Tyson and Max looking at him expectantly." Get your coats." He said, walking into his room and grabbing his coat. "Are you coming or not?"
Tyson and Max hadn't left where they were standing. "What did Mr. D. say?" Tyson asked ignoring what Kai said.
"He told me to get our asses to the BBA office. Rei's already there. Now come on."
20 minutes later, they were in the BBA office. "Excuse me sir, do you have an appointment?" A secretary asked, as Kai, Tyson and Max walked passed her desk. Kai simply ignored her and Tyson and Max just took Kai's lead and did the same.
"Excuse me sir! You cannot go back there without an appointment!" The secretary said, getting up from where she sat, only to be met with a cold glare by Kai, which made her sit down almost instantly.
Soon, they stood outside of Mr. Dickinson's office and Max was about to knock, but Kai just opened the door and walked in.
"Oh good, you're here...Biovolt has just sent me this." Mr. Dickenson handed Kai a slip of paper.
The Demolition Boys request a rematch against the Bladebreakers, and we will not take no for an answer. I will be at your office today to discuss the details.
-Boris
P.S
If you call the police, then tell Mr. Kon he will lose something or should I say, someone.
Kai read the letter, with Tyson and Max reading over his shoulder. He looked at Rei who was looking out the window with a slightly paled face, and he was shaking slightly, despite the warmth of the room.
"Well tell them to bring it on!" Tyson said. "We've beaten them before haven't we?!"
"But this time things are different Tyson. Someone's life could be on the line." Mr. Dickenson reasoned.
"Huh? Who's?"
"Korimi." Rei said quietly.
"Korimi? What's she got to do with this?"
"Are you really that thick Tyson?" Kai said.
"Uh..."
"He's got Korimi...that means things are a lot riskier than last time", Rei said.
"But lat time the fate of the world was at stake!"
Rei sighed. "But this is still different...Korimi's our friend...for some reason I think he's going to use her to his advantage...you heard what he put in the letter...I might lose her."
"Rei's got a good point...she might be battling against us...she's strong, smart and an excellent blader" Kai said.
"Phf...like Korimi would ever blade for them..." Tyson scoffed.
"Not on her own free will she wouldn't...but Boris will make sure she will...be it hurting her...or hurting the one's she care's about." Kai said.
"So the only way to get Korimi back is to battle?" Max said.
"Yes...and we accept their challenge." Kai said.
"What the hell did you do girl?!" Boris growled, grabbing the collar of Korimi's tank top and slamming her against the wall, causing the back of her head to slam into it. But she didn't care, and kept smirking, which was staring to piss him off.
"I guess you can call it my chastity belt. Anyone who tries to take me without my consent or my love gets burned." She gave a bark-like laugh. " though SOMETIMES I can't control it, I can give you up to 3rd degree burns, or worse...hate to ruin your fun Boris...but I guess your luck just ran out."
The man growled and wrapped his fingers around her neck, making it impossible for her to breath.
"Going...to kill me...Boris?" She choked out, still smirking. Boris tightened his grip. "You'll only be...putting me out of my misery...so go ahead."
Boris growled again, before throwing her across the room, laid barely conscious on the floor.
Chuckling, he walked over to her. "I have a deal to make with you." He said slyly, picking the girl up by the back of her shirt, and forcing her to look at him, with only half focused eyes.
"Go to hell." She spat.
Boris chuckled again and backhanded her so she fell back to the floor. He grabbed a fistful of long brown, red streaked hair, and forced her to look at him again. "Now listen to me, I could kill you, or I could let you live but, you're more use to me alive...you do as I say and you will live...you don't...and I will kill your brother slowly, and painfully, right before your eyes, then move on to your little boyfriend. Understood?"
Korimi didn't say anything, but at the mention of Rei's name, her eyes grew wide, and Boris smirked.
"Yes I know all about your little relationship with Kon...so, do you understand me?"
"Yes." She choked out, not looking him in the eyes, sickened at herself that she let him win.
He lifted her chin so she looked him straight in the eyes, he was enjoying this thoroughly, and hurting Korimi's pride and spirit was more rewarding than simply beating her. "What was that? I missed it." He sneered.
She stayed silent, and glared at Boris, hating his very existence.
"I said..." He tightened his hold on her hair. "Do you understand?" His voice more menacing than before.
"Yes." She said in barely a whisper, but he was satisfied.
"Good...I will tell you the deal I have when the time comes...but for now..." He picked her up in his arms. Being to weak, Korimi didn't struggle. She faintly remembered being placed on a bed before passing out.
The next morning Tala woke up and looked beside him, on some hopes in seeing his sister next to him, but no such luck.
'God...I barely know her and I'm worried about her...Kuso...I'm getting too soft.' He turned over onto his back and stared at the ceiling. 'God, I really wish those dreams would stop. I know she's my sister, how can she not be? Yea, we have some differences, but we're alike in a lot of ways.' He sighed as the morning bell rang. He needed to find out who this girl was before he was driven to insanity.
Korimi woke up the next morning to find that someone had their arms wrapped painfully tight around her waist. She tried to move away but the arms just tightened their hold.
"Going somewhere?" A voice whispered in her ear.
Korimi didn't answer.
Boris tightened his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, chuckling at her hiss off pain. "Answer me..."
"No." She said in barely a whisper.
Boris chuckled. "That's my girl..."
Korimi's body tensed. "I'm not YOUR girl Boris." She snarled.
He chuckled again and nipped the mark on her neck, causing her to wince. "I beg to differ." He unwrapped his arms from her waist and got up. "Get up and get dressed." He pointed to some clothes on the nightstand.
Slowly because of her injuries, and her reluctance to follow any orders from Boris, she got out of bed and got her new wardrobe, and walked into the bathroom.
Tala and the Demolition Boys sat at their table at the top of the mess hall next to the table Boris sat, along with the Abbey guards and scientists, waiting for Boris and Korimi to show up.
"You don't think he killed her do you?" Spencer asked.
Tala didn't answer, and simply picked at his stale toast.
The door to the mess hall opened and Tala looked up to see Boris with an arm wrapped possessively around a very beaten Korimi's waist.
Next to him, Bryan heard Tala growl.
Around the mess hall, everyone began to whisper, only boys ever entered the Abbey, it was unusual to see a girl enter, even more so, she was beaten up pretty bad but she didn't seem to show any kind of pain.
He two made their way to the table next to the Demolition Boys. Tala saw that she seemed to have a new outfit, one in which Tala was not all to thrilled about, and by the looks of it Korimi wasn't either.
She wore dangerously short shorts, and a revealing mid-drift spaghetti strap, with a playboy bunny necklace, and flip-flops.
'Sick bastard.' All the Demolition boys thought in a unison.
When Korimi sat down, she threw a quick glance at Tala before turning to her plate, which she noticed was filled with eggs, sausages, and pancakes, she also saw Boris pouring her some orange juice. He finished pouring and looked at her staring around the mess hall, not touching her food. He smirked; he knew why she wouldn't eat. Everyone (well...almost everyone, the Demolition Boys hadn't looked up from their food), was looking at her breakfast longingly, and threw her jealous looks.
Leaning over, he whispered, "Eat. Because this will be your only decent meal during your stay at the Abbey."
She stiffened but said nothing, and still didn't touch her food.
"If you don't eat, then you will collapse during training...if you collapse then you are weak. Now eat!"
Slowly, Korimi picked up her fork and began to eat her breakfast, even though with each bite, she was finding it harder and harder to swallow the food.
"Aahh...Stanley...how good to see you again..." Boris said in a fake voice, smiling at the old BBA president. "And I see the Bladebreakers are here as well...no doubt wanting to hear the terms for themselves"
"Cut the crap and tell us the terms. Because we have better things to do then to listen to you." Kai said coldly, glaring at the man.
Boris smirked and looked Kai in the eye, his smirk widened when he saw a flicker of fear within the crimson orbs. "Well...then I guess I'll cut to the chase...the re-match will be at the same stadium as the World Championships...only 3 bladers are to blade...each match will be a sudden death match, first one to stop spinning or first out of the dish loses."
"What?! No way! That's not fair!" Tyson practically yelled.
"Shut it Tyson. We accept." Kai said, Rei nodded in agreement.
"Good...well then...the date of the match...let's see...2 weeks from today...I believe that is July 15th..."
The bladers nodded.
"Good...well...good day Stanley." He threw a mocking glance at Rei and whispered as he passed the neko-jin so only he could hear. "You're little girlfriend tastes good Kon, to bad you won't be getting her back." He chuckled. "At least not alive."
Rei growled and his cat-like eyes slit. Boris smirked before he left.
"So...you're Tala's sister?" Bryan asked skeptically, as the 2 sparred in the training room, Korimi had changed out of her high heals and into tennis shoes, though now she was barefoot..
"Yea." Korimi panted "You have a problem with that?" She dodged and incoming punch. She had healed surprisingly fast. Her bruises were still there but her energy was incredible. She threw a high left kick to Bryans shoulder, leaving his defense down somewhat. Before he knew it, Korimi had him pinned, both were breathing hard.
Bryan scowled. "Dammit. Rematch."
Korimi grinned and got off him. "No way. Now do you believe me though when I say I'm Tala's sister?"
Bryan nodded, and sighed. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he believed her "Whatever."
The girl smirked, slowly, Korimi and Bryan walked towards the other Demolition Boys, who were all standing in front of iron slabs, trying to make their blades tear through them. Bryan and Korimi soon took their place and began to do the same as Tala and the others.
"Falborg!"
"Keizer!"
Finally, the 13-hour training day was over (they extended it and hour b/c of what happened with Korimi and Boris the previous night), and the guards escorted Korimi and Tala to their room after 'dinner', which consisted of a chicken leg and a glass of water.
Soon Tala and Kormi entered the pathetic room and lay down on the bed, completely exhausted from today's training and occasional beatings.
"I have some questions for you to answer." Tala said as he lay on his back, with his hands behind his head.
"Ok...and I have some questions for you."
"Well I'm getting my questions answered first and then I'll answer your questions later."
"Or...we can just ask each other 1 question in turn until we have all of our questions answered...or till we fall asleep."
Tala sighed. "Fine. I'm first."
"Yes sir."
The redhead glared at her sarcasm. "Don't be a smart ass."
Korimi rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
"What's Your full name?"
"Korimi Mika Ivanouv...my turn...Did you remember me even before I came to this hell hole?"
He shrugged, "No...not really...that was going to be my next question. You're really my sister? You're not just some girl Boris threatened or bribed into paying the part?
"No...I'm really your sister and you're one year older than me...have you ever been outside of these walls? You know...like on your own and not just out because you're doing Boris's dirty work."
"No...I haven't..." Tala admitted.
The girl nodded, "Ok...your turn I guess."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Korimi laughed a little. The way he said it, made him sound protective of her already, not that she minded. "Yea...I do...and no you can't rip him limb from limb Tala..." She said, still laughing a little. "If we ever get out of here that is." She added in a soft voice.
Tala snorted, "I doubt it."
Korimi sighed, "Yea...but you never know ...I have no more questions, you just answered my last one...any more for me?"
"Yeah...what's his name?" He asked suspiciously.
"You know him...but I doubt you've seen him much."
"Just tell me before I force it out of you."
The girl sighed. "Fine...Rei"
"KON?! You go out with KON?! The one who defeated Bryan?!" Tala said incredulously, sitting up quickly, half glaring at his baby sister."
She nodded, grinning, "yep."
Her brother looked less than pleased that his little sister was dating one of his enemies.
"Oh get over it Tala..." She said. "Besides." She sighed, turning onto her side. "Who knows if we'll ever get out of here anyway."
