Chapter 16 A Familiar, Yet Unfamiliar Face
-- Scene Switch
--- Flashback
"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.
Knock; knock "Miss, hotel room cleaning!" Sapphire and Kai jumped apart.
"Oh, um...ah...I...really don't...I mean...I don't need it!" Sapphire cried out in desperation.
"Sorry miss."
Sapphire sighed and turned to Kai. ' God now I couldn't even look at him, without turning red.' Sapphire immediately turned a dark shade of pink. "Ah... thanks." Sapphire ran out of her hotel room.
Kai rubbed his face. "What was I thinking?"
Next day
"Did you hear that Akela and Vinny were so powerful that they destroyed the Moscow stadium and there will be no beyblading until they repair it?" Some random bladers were talking amongst themselves as everyone participating in the Crystal Bitbeast Tournament was getting their food in the café.
Sapphire flinched, but kept her eyes on her food. " Yeah, I also heard that the bitbeast, Akela, was Sapphire Becer's."
"Everyone knows that!"
"No, let me finish...Vinny got it because Sapphire couldn't control Akela's power, she's a weak blader."
Max sneaked a look at Sapphire, who had her head down and her black hair shadowed her face and eyes. "Sapphire, don't listen to them." He gave Sapphire a supportive squeeze on the hand. Sapphire gave Max a weak smile.
"Yeah I also heard Sapphire stole Akela, and it right fully belongs to Vinny."
"Were did you hear that?"
"From Vinny herself!"
Sapphire suddenly grabbed Max's hand, her food forgotten. She gave his hand a bone-crushing squeeze. Max wince, but said nothing. Ray placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Sapphire, Max can't blade if you break his hand." Sapphire gave Max an apology smile, and released his hand, and Ray a thank you smile.
Instead she grabbed her napkin and began to twist it. Kai grabbed it out of her hands and Sapphire shot him a glare.
"Yeah, but Akela was with Sapphire first right, so that has to count as something?" Then Vinny strutted up to the talking bladers, "Actually, Akela was mine all along, just Sapphire stole it-" Sapphire stool up and crushed Vinny to the wall by her throat.
"Akela was mine at age 5! I never even knew you at that time!" Sapphire wasn't aware that she was cutting off Vinny's airway, until someone pulled her off.
"Stop Silver," someone hissed into her ear. She struggled a bit but gave in, she couldn't win against Bryan. Lance was busy helping Vinny up and Sazuko and Namiko stood off to the side staring at Sapphire in shock.
"You've got mental problems," Vinny breathed out. Sapphire was snarling, her blue eyes slowly turned silver, and her canine, fangs, suddenly stretched over her bottom lip. Every beyblade in the room began to glow and Sapphire's odd blade glowed the brightest.
Sapphire looked Vinny right in the eye, "How about a beybattle, after all, you always wanted to beat me." Her voice was a dead whisper.
Vinny began to laugh and took out her blade and launcher, "You don't even have a bitbeast."
Sapphire nodded, "That's the point."
Vinny vs. Sapphire
"3...2...1 LET IT RIP!"
Both girls launched their blades in and began to attack right away. Vinny defiantly seemed to have the upper hand.
Vinny smirked, "Akela, Dark Horizon!" Akela burst out and gave Sapphire's blade a hard attack that almost set in out of the dish.
Sapphire narrowed her eyes, ' Alexiel? Are you there'
' Yes I'm here.' Sapphire glanced to her right and saw Alexiel right next to her.
' Do you think it is the right move?'
' Silver, you were being rash, you can't win against a bitbeast, without one.'
' You're right...but I know Akela.'
' Well then, why did you call me?'
' I need you inside my blade, I'm not going to summon, you, just to control my blade for 20 seconds, please.' Alexiel nodded and disappeared in a shower of golden light.
Sapphire's blade glowed green and then settled down. "I'm sorry Vinny, this was a nice battle."
"Vinny's right, Sapphire's lost it." Another kid whispered. Sapphire's eyes flooded, yet again with silver.
"Salvation!" Her blade responded to its mistress order, "Go for the left!" With one powerful smash into Akela's left side, it sent Vinny's blade out of the dish.
Everyone is the room was silent, even Tyson, who up to now was still chewing down his food. Sapphire picked up her blade Salvation and left.
"Thanks impossible." Vinny whispered.
A man in the shadows was watching the whole scene. He pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number.
Somewhere cold and dark a man was sitting in a hug chair, facing the window, so you couldn't see if face. When the phone ran he reached out a hand to pick it up.
"Yes?"
"Sir, Yume is back."
In a hotel room a young man stood by the window, looking out. A blade was clutched in his hand, and it began to glow a white and purple light. "She's here isn't she? Yes I know, danger ahead."
Not really long, 3 pages. I'm really not writing much, too lazy. But my chapters will be worth it!
I know, I'm leaving a cliffhanger, I didn't mean to, but I thought this was a good place to leave off!
