Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade.
A/N: I'm still writing Trouble, don't worry. I guarantee you a long chapter for that fic, maybe 20 pages of so. Enjoy this chapter. =^_^=
As she looked up, she stared into mahogany orbs. He extended his hand and she grabbed it, pulling her up.
" I'm sorry, Master Kai," said Allison, clinging onto the rail by the wall.
" What are you doing here?" asked Kai.
" I'm going to the dining hall," answered Allison.
" This hall is off bounds to servants. Your dining hall is 3 floors downstairs.
Allison stared blankly at him. Kai sighed and he grabbed her hand, dragging her to the dining hall.
" There, and eat up," said Kai and he disappeared.
" Did you just get Master Kai to come down here?" asked Dina, one of the maids under Mrs. Hiwatari's service, in amazement.
" No one ever gets Master Kai down here. He hates servants, but loves tormenting them," said Mariah.
" No, duh," said Allison, " he pushed me in the pool yesterday. I almost drowned."
" Then who's the savior?" said Mariah in a teasing tone.
" Um, one of Master Kai's friends. Ray, I think, the one with the long dark hair that tied," said Allison.
" That's Ray. He's the most kind-hearted of them all," said Mariah.
Allison bit her lip. She knew Ray looked at her quizzically when she went back in and he had the right to. She must not let her real identity slip.
Allison said, " Looks like someone has a crush."
Mariah stuck her tongue out at Allison and Allison returned it. Allison quickly ate the oatmeal and fruit for dinner and went back to her bedroom. Then she remembered the tonic. She quickly ladled out the portion, diluted it and poured it down her throat, allowing the warm syrupy formula slide down her throat. She crawled into her covers and slept soundly for the rest of the night.
The next morning, Allison stretched and crawled out of bed. She made another mixture of the formula and poured it. She quickly changed into her black uniform and went upstairs to get her jobs done.
" I see that you are well," said a voice behind her. Allison swiveled around, facing Kai.
" What does that matter to you?" she spat.
" Which means I can restore the tonic to my cabinet, have an extra servant to clean up after me, and I don't need to treat you as nicely as my mother requires I treat sick servants." Said Kai smirking.
Allison stuck her tongue out at Kai before flouncing off. She grabbed two breakfast trays and brought one up to Master Spencer's room. Allison knocked on the door.
" Come in," said Spencer.
Allison pushed open the door and walked it, still awed at the room. Silvery curtain hung from the silver rods. His cherry wood four poster bed was placed to have the best view from the outside, overlooking the garden. Cherry wood furniture was placed all over the room along with high tech appliances. She placed one of the trays in front of him.
" Your breakfast, Master Spencer," said Allison before she retreated out of the room.
Allison walked over to Mrs. Hiwatari's room and knocked on the door.
" Come in," said Mrs. Hiwatari. Allison opened the door and looked at the room. She loved the look of the azure blue and lavender in the room. She deposited the tray in front of Mrs. Hiwatari.
" Your breakfast, madame," said Allison, lowering her head in respect.
" Thank you. You may leave now. I want you to go to Master Kai's room and clean up his room. Here's the pass that only I can give out to show him that I sent you to clean it up and not some servant snooping," said Mrs. Hiwatari.
Allison nodded and Mrs. Hiwatari handed the pass to her.
" Off you go now," said Mrs. Hiwatari.
" Yes, at once," said Allison.
Once Allison was gone, Mrs. Hiwatari thought, " There's something about that girl I can't quite put a finger to. She looks like someone I once knew, but in a way, she doesn't. Her double sided personality. Would that be it? One second she's respectful, then she's spiteful. Maybe Kai and Spencer might be able to figure out her secret." And she laid back on the cushions.
Allison walked down the hall and opened the door. She clipped the pass to her uniform. She grabs a duster, a vacuum, a mop and a towel into the room. She looked in awe at his room. Heavy black velvet curtains hung from silver rods, above large window, overlooking that waterfall in the garden. His bed was not a four poster bed to her amazement. Instead, it was a bed with a rich mahogany bed frame with soft mattresses and black silk sheet and a black velvet comforter, black pillow covers with silver tassels and shams. And elegant black marble desk sat in one corner of the room with a black leather chair. There was a set of black leather chairs around a shimmering glass table. Allison started the vacuum and vacuumed the room. She wet the towel and wiped down the drawers, cabinets and tables in the room. She bent down and picked up all the loose papers and articles. Something shiny that was on the floor attracted her attention. It was a beyblade.
FLASH BACK
When Allison was 14 years old.
" Come in Illusionaria!" said Allison as her shiny silver blade circled the dish.
" Go Dracon!" said her brother, Dave.
As they blades crashed, they flew out, land back in their masters and mistresses hands.
LAST YEAR
Allison walked down a street and found an arrogant rich guy with a blade with a broken attack ring. There was no money left at home.
" I'll buy your blade," said the guy.
Allison nodded, as the guy handed her $500 for it. Allison took out the bit beast and handed the blade over.
END OF FLASHBACK
Allison choked back her tears. Her blade was her life back then, but she needed the money to survive on. She pulled the chain out from under her uniform, Illusionaria glinting. If she still had her blade, she could have won some money. She grabbed a soft cloth from her uniform and polished the blade, remember the day, lone tears sliding down her pale cheeks. Kai walked down the hall and walked in his room, seeing Allison polishing his blade with a cloth.
" What are you doing with my blade?" demanded Kai scowling.
Allison looked up, her eyes slightly glassy. Kai's scowl soften slightly. With a shaky hand, she handed him the blade, so well polished that it was sparkling.
" Here, I only polished it," said Allison, biting her lip, silently regretting the day that she sold her blade for money. Kai eyed her, and saw the necklace that hung from her neck.
" What's that necklace that you're wearing? Hand it over," said Kai.
Allison's hand flew up to her neck and whimper, " No."
" Hand it over," he demanded and Allison slowly unclasped it and handed it over. There were 2 bit beasts, an ice phoenix and a black dragon, hanging from a chain.
" Where did you get this?" asked Kai.
" I had it ever since I was 4 when I first started to blade," said Allison.
Kai thought, "4 years old? I only got mine when I was 6."
" Then where's your blade?" he questioned, wanting to test her skills.
" I had to sell it last year. There was no money," answered Allison quietly.
" And why do you have 2 bit beasts?" asked Kai.
" Illusionaria, the ice phoenix is mine. Dracon, the black dragon, belonged to my dead brother, Dave." Said Allison quietly.
" And why are you in my room?" said Kai.
Allison took out the pass from her pocket and Kai nodded.
" Well, continue cleaning up my room." Said Kai, walking over and sitting at his desk doing his homework before it was time to go back to the boarding school. Allison cleaned up the whole room.
" Damn it!" said Kai as the math problem blurred. Allison walked over and looked over his shoulder. She grabbed a pencil and a piece of draft paper, showing the steps to answering the problem. She tapped his shoulder.
" What?" spat Kai.
Allison was offended and she slammed the paper and pencil on his desk and walked off. Kai picked up the paper and saw what she had written. As Kai did the problem using her method, he began to understand. Kai opened a drawer in his desk and took out a blade. He put it in a box and scribbled a message, telling one of the servants to deliver it to Allison. At the end of the day, Allison received the parcel and she ripped open the message.
In here is a beyblade. I want you to meet me outside at midnight by the Greek styled fountain, the one beside the gazebo, with the blade and your bit beast. You can keep the blade.
~Kai
Allison opened the box and took out a shiny silver blade. It was the one that she sold. A grin stretched across her face. Allison took off the uniform and wore a white sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and black sneakers that was in the closet. She tied her hair up and grabbed the blade, fitting her bit beast. Each maid had some decent clothes in the closet, graciously supplied by Mrs. Hiwatari. She ran outside and stood at the gazebo, awaiting Kai. Kai was soon there.
" I want you to blade me," said Kai.
" But I'm rusty," argued Allison.
" Do it," said Kai and Allison obliged.
They launched their blades into the dish.
" Illusionaria, shield of ice!"
" Dranzer, fire arrow."
" Ha! I got you! Illusionaria, blizzard!"
The ice shield melted and it washed out Dranzer.
" You're good," he admitted.
" No. You weren't paying attention. When you melt ice, it turns to water. If you had used a stronger fire attack, you could have been able to evaporate it." Said Allison.
" Another round?" asked Allison.
" Sure" said Kai.
Their blades started to circle the dish.
" Illusionaria, blizzard!"
" Dranzer, heat it up with Fire Arrow!"
The blades clashed as the ice phoenix and fire phoenix emerged.
" Dranzer, ignite!"
" Illusionaria, ice chain!"
A silver chain started to wrap Dranzer's wings.
" Fiery blaze!" shouted Kai.
The chain started to melt off of Dranzer.
" Illusionaria, dark illusion!"
Suddenly the dish was filled with a bunch of images of the ice phoenix.
" Never take your eye's off the opponents blade," said Allison, " You're going to pay for it."
" Illusionaria, finish it off with ice blaster!" The blast was so powerful that not only did Dranzer fly out, but Illusionaria started to wobble and stopped spinning.
" Good match," said Allison.
" Good match," echoed Kai.
" Well, I better go back now," said Allison and she grabbed her blade, hurrying off.
Kai's eyes glinted as she retreated. That wench would pay for defeating him. She would pay dearly.
