Chapter 6 Lost and Betrayed

A/N: Thank you, for those of you who reviewed. I'm really busy, so I really don't have a lot of time to update. I'll try to fit chapters in as often as I can. Also, to danwu or anonymous zainybrainyguy, Akela is weak on the left side for a reason, and that I will portray later.

"Dranzer now, Inferno Fire!"
"Dark Arrow!"
Out flew one blade, only one blade.

Sapphire's blade whirled out, right into Kai hand. Everyone stared; Sapphire had lost, the first time since she had become captain. Sapphire stared as well and then shook her head. Her bangs shadowed her face; a small smile was evident on her face. ' Well Kai, looks like you won this battle.' She thought, ' don't you agree, Akela?'

' Yes mistress.'

Sapphire looked up, blue and crimson clashed. She gave Kai a small grin and jumped into the half destroyed beydish. She scooped up Kai's blade and walked over to him.
"Pleasure battling you," Sapphire stuck out her hand for a shack and handed his blade back to him in the processes. Kai shook her hand, somewhat unwillingly.
"Sapphire, a word in my office, now," The principal stood at the door. Sapphire frowned, but obediently followed him out.

[--]

"WHAT!!!!!!!" Sapphire shouted, slamming her hands down on the desk. " How can you replace me?"
"Simple, you lost."
"It was just one lost, one!" Sapphire shouted.
"One lost, Digital Fortress has a reputation to keep, not a lost," A snotty voice spoke up. Sapphire whipped the way the voice came and snarled under her breath.
"What is she doing here?" Sapphire spat, glaring at the snobby brunette, Vinny, that stood at the door.
"I'm your replacement."
Sapphire's face turned into one of total disbelief, she turned to the principal, who nodded to confirm it was true. She grabbed the backpack that sat on the floor and strode out, hiding her tears. As she passed Vinny, the brown haired girl whispered, "Payback is a bitch, isn't it, you took my pride away when you beat me, and I'm taking yours away."
Sapphire stopped, "That battle for captain, proved that I was stronger that you." With a twirl of her heel, Sapphire was gone.

"Hey, that battle was awesome!" Tyson said as they walked down the streets. His hands were tucked behind his head.
Max nodded his agreement, "They were good."
"I like Sapphire's nature, even she did lose, she seemed ok about it," Ray put in.
"Sapphire Dieu, is a good blader, she is the top female blader," Mr. Dickenson said.
"Really, I've never heard of her till now," Kenny looked up from Dizzi.
"I have, "Hillary smiled, "I've watched her on TV too, her blading skills were awesome."
"Oh really what do you know about blading skills?" Tyson nudged Hillary.
"A lot," Hillary snorted confidently.
"Riiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhtttttttttttttt."
"Tyson!" The two began to chase each other down the street. Kai sighed, his team really needed to work on maturity.
"Hey," Max pointed, "Isn't that Sapphire?" Sure enough, Sapphire was walking down the same street, her hands tucked in her pockets, a white scarf wrapped around her neck with a white sweater and black pants.
"Yeah, and there's Lance with another girl," Ray pointed out. Lance was in a tight lip lock with Vinny. Sapphire stopped short, after catching sight of the two on the street, practically making out. Kai watched the multi expressions fly across her face. Hate, pain, betrayal, understanding, loss, and the strongest emotion of all, love. His heart cracked a bit. Sapphire's face calmed, she walked up to the 'couple'.
"Hi Lance, I didn't expect to see you here," She said in a sickening sweet voice. The two broke apart and flushed. Lance stuttered, while Vinny turned bright red.
"Sapphire, this isn't what this looks like," He finally managed out. Sapphire raised an eyebrow, daring him to continue. Vinny shot him a glare.
"Really?" Lance nodded, somewhat hesitantly. "Then, would you kindly explain?" Saph's tone was oddly dangerous. Who could blame her? Both Lance and Vinny were lost for words. "Thought so." Sapphire turned and began to walk off. "Lance," She stopped, "If you ever come near to me again... well you know what I'll do."
Lance shouted after her, " Sapphire please, I can explain!" Sapphire snorted. Even Vinny looked abashed. " Saph, wait." He pleaded. Sapphire didn't even turn around. She flipped him off over her shoulder.

"Wow." Was the only word that left the Blade Breaker's mouth.

"Yes," Mr. Dickenson began, "That was very interesting, now about that tournament-"
"WHAT TOURNAMENT!!" Tyson shouted, causing the passing people to stop and stare.
"I didn't tell you, must have slipped my mind..." He trailed off.

[--]

Sapphire stared listlessly in to the fireplace. Her world just turned upside down. Everything was perfect, until now. She let out a sigh and closed her eyes, trying to block out the reality of the world. She wanted to leave here, and not return. For a long, long, time.
"Honey," Sapphire's mom popped her head in, "your father and I are going out for a while." Sapphire nodded, her back to them.
"Night, sweetie," Her father called out. Sapphire continued to stare into the fire, oblivious to the world.

' Sapphire!' Her head snapped up, ' Huh?' ' Finally, stone ears, someone is knocking at the door.' Sapphire would have snapped at Akela, if she weren't in this mood.

"So we are invited to a new Tournament, what is so special?" Tyson asked.
"Tyson, don't be so stupid," Kenny looked up from his typing. "This is the Crystal Bitbeast Tournament." Dizzi piped up.
"What is the Crystal Bitbeast Tournament?"
"Tyson, it is one of the most important Tournaments of the year, it only happens once every 20 years." Ray answered his question.
"Why?" Hillary asked.
"Because that is when the Crystal Bitbeast emerges." Max put in.
"But every team needs a 'girl'," Kai said from his spot at the wall.

"What's is so bad about girls?" Hillary asked, confused at the captain's venom in the word.
"Girls are we-"
Ray cut in, "We're going to have to work this out."
Hillary thought for a while, "You guys could teach me." She pointed out. Tyson snorted, "You couldn't learn to blade if your life depended on it." "Why you!" Hillary screeched and started to chase him all over the hotel.
Max sighed, "What about Emily and Mariah?"
"They have their own teams, Max," Kenny reminded him.
"Oh."
"What about Sapphire?" Tyson managed out.
"The is a great idea," Dizzi said, "Who knew Tyson was so smart."
"Hey!"
"Already children," Ray said, "Kai what do you think?" Looking at the moody captain. Kai shrugged.
"Alright, from now on, Sapphire is part of the team!" Tyson shouted.
Hillary rolled her eyes, "She still has to agree."
Tyson glared at her, "Well what are we waiting for?" He ran out the hotel door. The Blade Breakers sighed. "Wait where does she live?"
Kenny sighed again, "2680 Willowlie Lane."

Sapphire opened the door to come face to face with the Blade Breakers.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, yes you can."
