Chapter Two

The After party

The after party was held in the main hall, mostly beybladers were there; and also a few VIP fans too, including journalists and people who were involved behind the scenes. Everyone was dressed for the occasion, although some beybladers got away with wearing what they usually do, e.g.… Kai. A band played orchestral music in the background, expensive food was in the middle of the main hall, and in a few random corners of the room beybladers battled.

Tyson, Daichi, Max and Kenny were near the food table. Ray was talking to Kai who was standing alone against the wall with his arms crossed.

Moments later, me and the gang entered the hall. Xicer and Zachary went off to talk to Tyson, they both was wearing tuxedos. Soapie was wearing a beautiful purple dress, with a darker shade of purple round the neck. She was about to rush to the food, but I grabbed her arm with a shy look on my face. I didn't completely enter the room, my head was just popping out, and I felt nervous wearing a dress because I always feel naked!

"What's the matter Kiroku?" Gracie asked looking at me in a cheeky way, "Don't you wanna go in?"

I hesitated a bit, "Um… yeah? But that's not the problem Soapie; I don't know anyone in there apart from you guys!"

"That's how I felt the first time! So did Xicer and Zachary," Soapie smiled, and gave me a hug, "You'll be ok."

Soapie left me! Abandoned me! How could she? Was this revenge? I was wearing a short pink light-weight dress, with loose baby pink straps, and pink pretty high-heels. A stepped one foot out, and before I knew it – Daichi pointed me out!

"Hey! It's that girl!" Daichi yelled out, so the whole HALL COULD HEAR IT!

I instantly stood there, like bait waiting for predators to just eat me so I wouldn't have to live past this moment!

Daichi ran up to me, "Don't look so embarrassed! We was just talking to Xicer, apparently you're a newbie so we're gunna take care of ya!"

Is this a good thing?...I had no choice really!

"Umm… Ok!" I smiled hesitantly.

We walked towards Tyson, Max, Kenny and Xicer – and you know what happens next? I get the little one drooling over me!

Daichi raised an arm, "This is Kiroku!"

I swallowed all my nervous systems into my stomach so I would hesitate anymore, I had to be confident! "Hi-Hi everyone!" I said brightly.

Daichi introduced me to everyone, I felt quite comfortable actually! I can be outgoing but only around people I know.

I looked around a little, whilst Xicer was blabbing about the advantages of being a beyblader, and how many girls he slept with in a week. I can't stand that talk from him!

Then as I turned to look over by a corner in the hall, I saw Kai and some other guy he was talking to. He looks really mysterious, and I mean really! You know when you talk to someone, and you can tell how they feel or where you stand, well when I look at him I can't really tell at all. It's like looking into a puzzle, one of those people who aren't a people person, who hides most things.

"Hey Kiroku, watcha looking' at?" Soapie asked, creeping behind me with loads of food!

My attention focused on Soapie, as I took a mini pizza from her plate, "Oh nothing. Is that the only non-posh food you could find?"

"You bet this is! They even dressed it – I felt so guilty just removing the one!" Soapie said, munching on a weird sausage-looking thing.

"I see," I laughed a little, "So apart from getting loads of food what have you been doing?"

Soapie pointed into the direction on of the guy next to Kai, "I spoke to Ray, and he says we were great in the beybattle."

"And him?" I nudged my head to the side in the direction of Kai.

"Oh…He didn't say much, but I mentioned you, and then he said you're a 'typical newbie'." Soapie said casually.

"Humph! Yeah? Well… He should stop playing with face-paint!" I said smirking, raising my nose in the air and my arms folded.

Soapie laughed a little, "I'm sure he didn't mean it offensively."

Tyson yelled out with some food still in his mouth, "Hey Kiroku, Gracie! You wanna watch where those two are keeping their eyes!"

Tyson sounded drunk! But on food! I didn't look over to Kai and Ray but Soapie sure did – she pointed at them and laughed!

"Shut your mouth Tyson!" Kai shouted over the room to him.

Tyson just laughed, Soapie joined in, and me? I just fell animestyle, and then jumped at the sound of real music! They started to play Jlo's new song – Get right. I grabbed Soapie's arm and lead her to the dance floor, we started dancing, and eventually Max, Xicer and Zachary joined in! The night was getting better every moment!

Tyson was actually right, Kai and Ray were looking over in our direction quite often… but then again they were doing the same to everyone, until Ray went over to talk to Tyson and Daichi. Then Kai was standing on his own.

Later they started to play rock music like Evanescence, Linkinpark and Greenday. The others were starting to get tired, but me and Soapie kept going on dancing.

Eventually I did stop dancing and walked over to Zachary, "Hey you!""

Zachary gave me a big hug whilst still talking to Daichi, Tyson and Ray.

"What? You've done something naughty haven't you!" Zachary said jokingly, "Nah I'm joking! Are you ok?"

"Yep-yep! I've been thinking!" I had to shout in his ear because the music was so loud.

"Really? Did it hurt?" Zachary said chuckling to himself.

I slapped him in the shoulder jokingly, "I'm glad I joined Angel Tyrant, I can get use to this!"

A FEW MOMENTS LATER IN THE PARTY…

I hung around for a while on the balcony outside the hall; everyone was still having a good time. I looked up at the night sky; you could almost make out the stars through the faint black clouds. It was great views looking over the city, the people down below looked like little ants with toy cars. My arms rested on the ledge, I was about to rest my head when…

"It won't always be like this you know…" Kai said, as I turned around slowly, and then returned to look at the view.

"…I know that…" I said, twiddling my thumbs a little.

Kai came over and looked down the ledge, "…"

I broke the silence but in an annoying way, "Well guess all I am right now is a 'typical newbie'."

"Maybe…" Kai said smirking, "You didn't give it your all in the beybattle."

I couldn't look him in the face! For some reason I'd look anywhere but his eyes, I couldn't for some odd reason, I don't understand why.

"You didn't either, compared to what I've heard." I said, leaning my neck in his direction, but still focusing down at the people below.

"You're wrong! I give it my all in beyblading, who are you to say that to me?" Kai snapped at me cautiously.

"…" I didn't want to argue with him, we just met; it wouldn't be a good idea to step on the wrong foot.

Kai was staring for a while; I could see him staring in the corner of my eye. I couldn't tell what he was feeling, so I said something anyway to break the silence…

"I'm sorry…" I said, looking at my hands, then a let off a sigh.

Kai nodded, "Hm…"

There was that silence again, I didn't like it now. Because it was like I wanted to talk to him, but what can you talk to him about? He feels like one of those people, who you can't figure out at first.

"How did you know Xicer?..." Kai asked, interrupting my thoughts of what to say, I felt like I wanted to get out of this situation!

"Oh, Umm… Through Gracie, Xicer took Gracie on to be on his team, I met him when I went to see one of Gracie's beybattle." I said looking up at the sky, it looked so gloomy, and the clouds were faintly covering up the stars.

"Oh-." Kai was interrupted by Soapie's voice behind us.

"Hey Kiroku you coming? We're going home now, because it's getting kind of late!" Soapie said behind me.

I took one glance at Kai, I gave him one of those 'Seeyou later smiles', he nodded back and stayed on the balcony as I walked back into the hall. Maybe he wasn't that bad? I mean, I do tend to take things the wrong way from time to time…

I said goodnight to everyone, as we headed back to our dorms in the BBA, before I left the hall, I looked back at Kai still standing on the balcony. You know that moment when you're just a little curious about someone, that's how I felt.

LATER IN THE DORMS…

Soapie and I shared our dorm with a few other girls who were competing; I didn't like it very much because they were always snoring, and so does Soapie! I had these cute pink pajama shorts, with a white plain t-shirt, and I still had my pink stripy toe socks on. I sat up on my bed listening to my Mp3 player quietly. All I could do was think about the party, and the next time I meet the new friends I made today. Tomorrow I was planning on hanging out with Daichi and Tyson. They're really funny sometimes! And really nice people! I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night; I just kept on listening to my Mp3 player. Thinking of what's to come…
