Chapter 15 Traitor Among the Power

-- Scene switch

--- Flashback

Unknown to Sapphire, her blade's codes began to rotate fast. So fast in engulfed the blade in green light. And across the dark room a silvery blue light shone, followed by a red light, then a green, then a blue, and then a purple.

Sapphire felt a hand on her shoulder. It slowly sank into her still sleepy mind. With that she jolted up and grabbed the wrist of who ever it was.

"Ray!" She shrieked and pulled the quilt up to her chin. Ray raised his hands up in defense, "Sorry Saph, Kai wanted us all up." Sapphire nodded, her face red and she didn't meet Ray's eyes. As soon as he was gone, she scrambled into the bathroom.

"So who's blading today?" Max asked Kenny. " The Digital Bladers and the Light Angels." All eyes turned to Sapphire, who went ridge.

"What?" She asked brokenly. At that everyone averted their eyes, except Kai.

Kai gave her another glare, "Your weak with your emotions." Sapphire snapped.

"I'm sorry that I'm not like you, I'm sorry for having emotions and feelings." Sapphire spat and she moved out with tears streaming down her face.

"Nice going Kai," Tyson smirked. Kai shot him that Hiwatari-death-glare and shut Tyson up.

Sapphire sniffled outside as she sat up in a tree. God she felt so stupid. Sapphire wiped the tears away and gave a small laugh at her foolishness. She leaned back and took a deep breath to compose herself. She looked up at the sky and felt like something was missing, but couldn't place it.

Great now she had to say sorry to Kai. That is if he will listen to her. She felt so silly.

"Crying is fine," came a smooth voice, "it isn't silly, its just simply there." Sapphire turned to look at Alexiel.

"Why am I not surprised that you are here?" Sapphire asked tiredly.

Alexiel opened her violet eyes to look at the young girl. "Because you wished to have your unanswered questions answered."

Sapphire scowled at her, "I'm so tired of everyone treating me, like they know me better than I know myself. I've suffered enough." Her voice rose higher as she pronounced the last words.

Alexiel's tempers and eyes flashed, "Do you think you are the only one who is suffering Silver! Do you! There are people out there that are suffering more than you; there are animals out there that are suffering more than you! True, maybe you have suffered more than some people, but think about the other people out there! Don't be selfish Silver, think about someone other than yourself!" Sapphire flinched as each and every word cut into her heart.

She lowered her eyes in thought, "I'm sorry, its always been I, I, I hasn't it?" She asked quietly. Alexiel sighed and place her hand on Sapphire's shoulder.

"Come now Silver, the match is about to start." Sapphire gave Alexiel a grateful look and climb down the tree.

Alexiel looked after Sapphire's vanished form, " She's something isn't she?" She turned to the shadows and out came another angel, a male angel.

" Yes she is sister, and he, will meet her soon enough."

"No doubt Rociel, no doubt."

Sapphire slipped back in when it was Vinny vs. Tommy's battle. She sat down next to Kai, who appeared not to notice her at all.

She sighed and grounded her teeth together, remembering what Alexiel had said. "I'm sorry." She squeaked out softly. Kai cast her a sideways look and nodded.

"3...2...1 Let it rip!"

"Knightly arise!" Tommy ordered, "Show her what a real bitbeast looks like!" Out rose a knight riding on a dragon. With a powerful bash, he tried to send Vinny out of the dish.

Vinny smirked when her pink and purple blade didn't budge. She looked up and Sapphire and her eyes locked. "This," she began sweetly, " is for a dear, friend of mine, Akela show him what you've got!"

Sapphire gasped and she wasn't the only open. Everyone went into whispers and points. Sapphire shivered and looked as the wolf angel Akela arose.

"No..." came her faint voice, "no." she withdrew her blade and looked at her blank bit chip. How hadn't she noticed it before? Sapphire felt numb inside. Her mind went blank. Akela had been with her since she was five. She felt the hot tears of betrayal come to the corners of her eyes. But she forbade herself to cry. Instead anger surged inside Sapphire and she felt the adrenaline rush through her veins. It was really no surprise that Vinny won the round.

Vinny walked over to the BB. "So Saph how did you like the show?" Sapphire didn't know where it came from, but a cool mask slipped onto her face. Everything about her changed, her blue eyes hardened into stone, her face set and her mouth in a straight line.

"Just as I expected it, after all you were using my bitbeast." With a final sneer Sapphire shoved past Vinny and disappeared into the hallway. Vinny's sickening smile had faded and she tried to turn her charms onto Kai, who completely ignored her.

Sapphire stomped down the hallway and she was seeing red. That bitch... that conniving little bitch. She was repeating that over and over again in her head to remain calm. She throw open her door and slammed it shut, sending objects vibrating. With that Sapphire sank to the floor panting. She huddled into a corner and drew her knees up to her chest. Tears wouldn't come, and Sapphire didn't need tears right now. No, she felt the need to rip something up, to destroy something.

She was dimly aware that her door opened and someone was walking towards her. She didn't looked up; she didn't really care for the matter on who it was.

A hand came in contact with her face and Sapphire jerked her head up. Kai was looked down at her. She felt like she was drowning in his smothering pool of mahogany.

"Your pathetic, stop wallowing in your self pity." Sapphire flinched at Kai's tone. Fury erupted in the pit of her stomach.

" Like I said before, I'm sorry that I'm not like you, I'm sorry for having emotions and feelings." She grounded out, with that Sapphire jumped to her feet, "I am also sorry for losing my bitbeast that has been with me since I-was-five!" She punctured each word with a jab at Kai's chest. I'm not going to cry...I'm not going to cry...She kept chanting in her head.

"Oh fuck it," she whispered brokenly, and tear streamed down her face again. Sapphire covered her face and sunk to her knees. Sobs racked her petite form. Sapphire honestly didn't care anymore if Kai was there watching and hating her for being on his team and for being so weak.

"Get up Silver."

Sapphire jerked her head up again, "W-w-what did you call me?"

Kai crouched down; so he could look Sapphire straight in the eye, "Silver." Sapphire let her mouth drop opened and her tear forgotten. Kai slipped a finger under her chin and closed her mouth.

"You're attracting flies." Sapphire looked at Kai, expecting a smile, but Kai's face was the same. "Hn..." Sapphire wiped away her tears. "How..."

"Remember when you asked me about my friends in the Abbey, her name was Silver, her codename was...Sapphire Becer." Kai gripped Sapphire chin harder. "I saw the Demolition Boys, they've been telling you things haven't they?"

Sapphire tore her chin from his bruising grip, "It's my life, I should know what happened to me!"

Kai grabbed her arm and jerked her up. Sapphire tried to twist away, "Don't you dare tell anybody, and do you understand me?"

Sapphire glared at him, "if that's all your worried about-"

"Answer the question!"

"I won't!" Kai release her and Sapphire sunk to the floor again, rubbing her arm. "What is with you and telling your team your past?" Kai turned to here, his bangs shadowing his eyes, and Sapphire didn't really like the look.

"Would you tell your team about your past?" He asked quietly. Sapphire's ears picked it up. Sweet Jesus, this guy was hard to figure out, one minute he was rash and angry, and the next he was quiet and cold. "Well?"

Sapphire snapped out of her thoughts, "No, I doubt I would, it's too complicated, creates a huge problem."

Kai seemed to blend into the darkness of Sapphire's room, "So Silver, looks like we can agree on one thing."

Sapphire got a distant look in here eyes, "We use to agree on everything...well almost everything."

"Huh..." Sapphire looked around and couldn't see Kai.

"Kai..."

"Yes?" suddenly he appeared right behind her. Sapphire yelped and whirled around and connected with Kai. She hadn't known she was so close to him. Kai caught her before she fell. Their noses were touching and Sapphire had wounded her arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry..." She trailed off, suddenly aware, that how close she was to Kai...a bit too close.

Kai's eyes focused onto Sapphire's lips. Her tongue darted out to lick her suddenly dry lips. Both became aware that they were drifting closer.

Holy shit! Are they going to kiss! What did I do...wait they aren't going to kiss are they? Well you'll just have to find out in the next chapter aren't you!
