A Duo Tournament

By: Makurayami no Kyouto

MK: Personally, I think homework should be used for my fireplace, like review flames!

Daisuke: -_-;; It's not like you have ANY review flames . . .

MK: Yeah, now that you mentioned it . . .

Keisuke: Or a FIREPLACE, for that matter.

MK: Don't get all technical on me Keisuke!

Ken: You think EVERYTHING should burn.

Blade: She's starting to sound like Dilandau . . .

Lyosuke: MOERO! MOERO!! MOERO!!

MK: And YOU say I sound like Dilandau here, Blade?

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! *!*!*!*!*!*!*!**!*

Keisuke bumped into her past childhood friend, Blade. Someone saw their reunion and they are very anxious to get rid of Blade and Keisuke's emotions! But, everyone is supposed to have emotions! No one can never have no emotions!

## CHAPTER FIFTEEN##
// MISGUIDANCE \\

**WEDNESDAY**

~PARK~

"So you haven't heard from Sano, Fang, Trini, or Yamazaki?" Keisuke asked, sitting down on the ledge of the water fountain.

"No" Blade shook his head, standing beside Keisuke. "I thought you would see them when you left to BioVolt."

She rested her hands on her lap. Now, she's wearing a knee-length white shorts that was supposedly belong to Daisuke, a black sleeveless t-shirt with a familiar white dragon with purssian blue eyes in a flying position infront of a Yin and Yang symbol, black sneakers and the same 1/3 sleeveless white hoodless cloak.

Keisuke titled her head back, staring into the clear blue sky.

"While I and Daisuke were training, no one mentioned us of them." She casted her head to look at Blade, brown eyes seemingly distant. "It was as if they were never there."

Blade patted her wolf-like light blue hair in a reassuring way.

"Ah, don't worry yourself" Blade said in a composed voice. "We'll find 'em. Isn't Daisuke supposed to be back by now?"

The girl remained silent, shifting her brown eyes into the distant. "Yeah." Keisuke stood up. "He must've . . ." Her voice trailed off and then shook her head. "I just realized I have things to do. I'll see you later, Blade." She walked off.

"Hey!" Blade grabbed a hold of her arm. "Are you just gonna walk off? And what did Daisuke do in America? Keisuke!"

Keisuke stopped, listening to his questions but not replying to any. Her head slightly lowered but she then shook her grasped arm, turning to glare at him. He released her arm, surprised at her action.

"It's none of your concern, Blade" She coldly stated after turning her head away from his view. "Actually, it's better this way if you stay out of the loop . . . ." Keisuke then softly and quietly added, " . . . and don't get hurt in the process."

She then jogged off to who knows where, leaving Blade quite speechless at the moment.

"What . . . has gotten into you, Keisuke?" Blade asked aloud. "Has . . . Ken, Lyosuke and BioVolt changed you that much? Have you already forgotten our little promise?" He sounded disappointed and sad as he turned around to walk back to his place, pondering why Keisuke is acting out of character.

~CONDO~

Keisuke greatly frowned once she checked her e-mails on her laptop.

(2) New message(s)

Sighing, she clicked open the first e-mail, addressed to her from none other than Ken.

I assume you know that Daisuke has failed his mission. Miserably. As your supervisor, Lyosuke will be your partner, possessing both Crimson and Shadows in the up-coming Tournament. He will also complete the last mission. Also, in the rules of BioVolt on which Daisuke had agreed, if he fails to accomplish a mission within the time allotted, memories will be deleted and re-training in mission. Keep in mind that we can not afford to mess up in this Tournament like Boris did in the World Championships with the Demolition Boys. Remember to report your results in exactly 2 days at 1200 hours. If earlier, it'd be wonderful.

-Supervisor Ken

Deleting the mail, Keisuke inaudibly sigh. -Why did you fail the mission, Daisuke? It was one of the easiest missions we've acquired. You knew the consequences if you should fail . . .- Keisuke clicked on the next e-mail.

Time: 12:30:12 To: KeixLuminous@hotmail.com From: DaixShadows@hotmail.com Date: Wednesday, xx, xxx, xxx

Hey sis. I guess you got da mail from ken. Ken doesn't noe dis nor does lyosuke but im quitting bladin. I jux realized ive been hurtin people an you noe dat I hate hurtin em. But im not handin ova shadows to em biovolt. Me and shadows been thru lots and I aint handin shadows ova like dat. Day have to fight thru us first before I eva hand shadows ova. Betcha lyosuke will be taking my place in da tournament and ken saying dat lyosuke will have both crimson and shadows. Ha! And, yeah, I noe da consequences if I should eva fail a mission. Wen da tournament comes up, count on it dat ill be wif da bladebreakers, coachin em and da oda teams to defeat you and biovolt. Dun take it personally, sis, cuz you noe fo a fact dat im doin da rite ding fo once. You can tell ken and Lyosuke or da whole world dat I quitted and became a traitor like kai. I jux hope you still consider me as your sib, sis. An rememba da promise we made to blade! Im staying tru to myself and hope dat sum day you be too.

Daisuke ^_^
~'Stayin tru to be you'~

Keisuke read over the mail again, confirming that her brother had written this.

"Daisuke . . ." She quietly said. "The promise . . ."

It just hit her that she acted cold to Blade when she promised him that she'd stay innocent.

-No, promises never last forever. Promises are made to be broken like rules are.-

She immediately deleted the e-mail. A great feeling of loneliness had swept over her right after she recycled the mail.

-If this is true . . . then, Daisuke's not . . . coming back? He's gonna stay with the BladeBreakers?- Her eyes narrowed to slits. -They-the Breakers-they must've forced him to do this. They'll pay. They all will pay to do such a thing to my twin brother; like they did to Kai.-

Keisuke closed her laptop, right after putting it to sleep for the time being. She pushed the cushion chair back, standing up, already have a made- up plan. Checking her pocket for her blade, launcher and her rip cord, she was ready to go. Ready to get revenge on the first BladeBreakers she sees.

Locking the condo up, Keisuke left the building in a stalking manner, giving death glares to all who laid eyes on her.

Blade: Next chapter is either Gundaflowne or A Beginning To An End! See you then!

MK: AquaRika, I'll make it up to you for Friday somehow! Probably write the next chapter to A Beginning To An End longer or this story's next chapter longer! I'm totally, sorry for not being on, on Friday. I'll be on tonight, maybe a few hours late since I got things to do . . . ._
