Thanks again for all your reviews. I can smell something in this story, but
I'm still stumped on how the ending should end. If you have any types of
ideas, then please e-mail to me at pteunia@hotmail.com. I don't own
Beyblades. And I never will. Let's start the story.
The red convertible stopped in front of a shop. Kai got out of the car and told Liya to wait. He went inside and started to call for someone behind the counter. A boy with blonde wacky hair came out with a large smile on his face. His blue eyes lit up with lots of happiness. No hint of pain can be seen. He was cleaning something with a dirt white handkerchief while talking to Kai. They seemed to know one another well.
At that point the blonde looked out the window at Liya. He gave a big wave. Liya first thought him a bit screwed up in the brain or maybe stupid, but there was something about his cheerfulness that made her wave back with a smile. Somehow, she felt related to him.
"He doesn't seem so bad." Liya thought. The boy turned back to Kai who was also facing her with one eyebrow raised. They continued talking. Liya inspected the shop. The signboard on the front printed out in big letters, "THE HOBBY SHOP". It seemed like a shop for beyblade building materials. Stacks of metal rings and other such parts were distributed all around the place in boxes. "Maybe this boy can tell me all about my bit-beast and beyblade." Liya pondered.
Inside the Hobby Shop.
"You told me the girl would look at me like I was a pathetic puppy if I said hello to her. She seemed perfectly fine to me."
"I don't get it Max. She acts so cold towards me. She pretty much hates her old teammates because they tried to rape her. Why wasn't she the same with you?" Kai questioned Max impatiently wanting to find out all about the girl.
Max thought for awhile. Then he slowly asked, "How long has she beybladed?"
"Two years. She's known to the world as Rocky Skye. Her teammates make her dress up like a guy every time she's with them."
"Why would they do that?"
"I don't know. Probably too embarrassed to let others know that a girl beyblades better than them."
"Why did she leave them now? Couldn't she have left them before? She looks wise enough to leave a bunch of jerks."
"They tried to rape her. Liya couldn't have left them. She's a property to them. It's only a matter of time before they demand her back."
"Oh my god. Those cheap bastards! Good thing she escaped. Do you know anything else about her?"
"No. Even if I did, she wouldn't have admitted it to me. She's like a tight safe. Won't do anything until you get the right combination. In this case, you shouldn't be male. For some reason she seemed afraid of her teammates and me." Kai remarked thoughtfully.
"She's hiding something painful from us. I bet it has something to do with men. How old is she?"
"I'm not sure. She looks about sixteen. A year younger than us."
"Just the right age for you to fall in love with her." Max replied slyly.
"What? No way! Yeah I pity the girl but I don't and never will love her!" And Kai began to leave the shop.
"Don't make promises you can't keep!" Max called out.
"Shut up!" Kai chucked a plastic piece at him and left laughing. The idea of falling in love was preposterous. Even more when it was falling in love with a spitfire like Liya Skye!
Liya looked at the shop again. Kai was walking towards the convertible chuckling about something. Liya wished she could share the joke. It seems so lonely when you rarely laugh. Kai looked so good even with that mean look on his face. Liya wished just once that she could have a boyfriend. Liya smiled wanly then a bitter look crossed her face. But Giovanni has prevented that from ever happening. A salty tear slipped out of the corner of her eye. Ever happening.
"Hey! You all right Liya?" Kai asked concernedly. "Yeah. There was something in my eye. Who was that you were talking to?" Liya replied as she wiped the tear away hastily.
"Oh, that was Max. He's one of the Bladebreakers. His dad owns the shop. Max has one of the best beyblade defense tactics ever."
"Is he always smiling?" she curiously questioned. "Yeah. He's always cheerful and very happy with others. But he can get pretty annoying sometimes. We'll head on to my place now." Kai buckled up while leaving Liya to hold some familiarity with Max.
"Why does it feel like I've known him someplace before?"
At the mansion.
Kai stopped the red convertible in front of two large gates. Liya turned to her side to look at Kai. He casually took out a small remote, pushed a button and opened the gates. Kai drove the vehicle inside, revealing a huge mansion stretching meters wider than the shop.
Liya's mouth parted open. This was where she had lived before. She turned to look towards Kai again as he slowed down the convertible near the garage. "Since, when did you live here?"
"Umm.two, three years ago. Why? Do you know this place perchance?" Kai asked suspiciously.
"No, it's nothing. It feels like I've seen this place before. Probably just a déjà vu." Liya quickly stated.
After Kai parked the car, they both got out and headed towards the mansion. There in front of the mahogany door stood two teenage boys. One was leaning against the grey stone wall while the other was banging furiously at the door. The one leaning spotted Liya and Kai. His gold eyes lit up with relief. Then he said something to the other guy with spiky black hair. He wore black gloves, a red shirt and blue shorts. He looked like a messed up teenager from Liya's point of view.
Both of the teenagers ran up to, the gold eyed one with a long black tail whipping behind him. "On what side of the bed did I woke up today? They all look like freaks." Liya thought, while her mouth hung open.
Kai watched Ray and Tyson run up to him. Damn! He completely forgot that he was supposed to meet them today for their plans for the next tournament. This Liya kept making him forget about everything. Kai couldn't wait to get rid of her; but then again he felt a twinge of sadness of the thought of never seeing her again.
"Where the hell have you been all this time? Kenny said that the tournament in Italy states clearly that all competitors must enter by today! And who is this?" Tyson inclined frustratingly.
"Tyson, Ray, I would like to introduce to you our newest member of the Bladebreakers, Liya. Liya this is-umm.Liya you okay?" Kai spoke to the in- trance girl.
"Huh? Oh sorry. I couldn't help thinking how creepy guys start to look as the days pass by."
"Hey! Who you calling creepy! Why I ought to-!" Tyson started to reach for Liya when Ray grabbed him from behind, clapped a hand and hastily said, "What he means is, we have been looking like this for the past few years of our lives, and no one ever cared how we looked."
"Right then. Liya, the one who looks like a buffoon is Tyson." "Hey!" exclaimed Tyson, who just finished untangling himself off Ray when he was caught again trying o kill Kai that time.
"And the humble polite one is Ray. Both of them are part of the Bladebreakers team. Ray used to be part of the White Tigers before, like I used to be part of the Blade Sharks." Kai continued. Liya stuck her tongue out at Tyson and said hello to Ray well mannerly.
"I see. Are there anymore "guys" in the team." Liya asked pertly. "Well there's always Kenny, but he usually helps improve our beyblading techniques rather than battle in tournaments. We call him Chief. You see, his bit-beast got trapped inside his laptop, and soon after that he didn't try beyblading again." Ray confirmed.
"Okay, let's have the meeting inside my house. Liya, you'll be living with my grandpa and me." Kai ignored the rude snort and continued on. "Until, I think you're not needed anymore."
"Fine. Let's go." Liya countered back. The four teenagers entered the large mansion where Liya had spent her haunted youth in.
