Chapter 3 - Oh Dear...

These meetings between Maia and Brooklyn had been continuing for the passed week, and Kai was becoming increasingly angry. She had missed seven days worth of training. Even on the weekend she had been out of the house before he'd gotten up, and didn't return until he had gone to bed on the night times. He was wondering what exactly was going on with his sister, abusing the time he was giving up for her, to make her a better blader. "I WILL find out Maia..." he growled to himself, leaning on the wall of the school, waiting for her class to come out.

She came scampering out of school, looking very cheerful and happy. Humming to herself, breezily. "Maia..." Kai growled harshly from behind her. She froze. "Where have you been the passed week, i haven't seen you around much lately sis?" he scoffed, "you don't seem to be around the house much anymore either" he fell silent and smiled sarcastically. "Oh yes, and you've been missing our TRAINING SESSIONS!" he yelled, scowling and grabbing her arm as he dragged her out of the school grounds, back to there home. She squirmed and swore at him all the way home.

Once they were home she managed to struggle free. "Who the HELL do you think you are Kai?" she snapped. "What is your problem?". Kai scowled. "My problem is that you have been skipping our sessions, and i demand to know why". She looked at the floor, "I've been with a erm...guy..." she paused, "a friend" she corrected quickly. "Who?" Kai snapped. "Brooklyn he's the new-". Kai cut her off, "BROOKLYN?" he snapped, "as in the Bega loser?...what are you thinking!".

Maia stared, she had no idea what he was talking about, she was pretty new to beyblading, and not really into the media so she'd never seen or heard of Brooklyn before. Now that she thought about it, she kind of understood why he was getting so much attention from all the girls at school. And of course the boys who wanted a challenge with their blades.

"I don't believe this..." Kai sighed, holding his forehead. "You are going to lose everything you know, you're never going to make Grandfather proud, all for some pretty boy...". He glared at her. "You have a choice to make Maia, stop seeing him and continue with your destiny, or run off into the sunset with Brooklyn, who will dump you the minute he gets bored of you...". He shrugged, "your choice Sis". Maia stared at him and sniffed a moment.

Kai turned his back to her. Maia stiffened her expression becoming hard and typical of the Hiwatari family once more. "Kai, I'm ready to continue with training first thing after school tomorrow" she replied coldly, sounding just like her brother. Kai turned his head slightly to look at her. He nodded, "Wise choice...".

The morning didn't seem so vibrant and colourful as it normally did. Maia looked at the floor as she walked to school, alone. She sighed, and jolted slightly as some familiar arms locked around her in a warm hug. Brooklyn smiled down at her, unaware of what had happened with Kai the night before. "Hey, we going to our usual spot after school?...i have something important i need to tell you Maia" his voice smooth and soft as always. Maia pulled his arms away from her, refusing to look at him. "Maia?...what's wrong?" he asked, looking confused, his ocean coloured eyes scanning over her with concern. "Brooklyn, i can't see, or speak to you anymore..." she began walking away, "I'm sorry" she added, bolting away. He just stood there, staring in disbelief.
