K-K:
Minijkitty: Thanks for the review and welcome back
Fluffys-sidekick: Thanks for the review.
Darkfangs: Yeah, when DK fast and play netball, the next day she gets ill, usually fever but as soon as she gets home and hit the bed, the morning after that she gets back to full health. Glad to hear Silent Tears would be up next week, and DK's glad to hear from you. She was worried that you didn't come online to finish the fic. Anyway thanks for the comment.
Windstar: Thank you. Please update New Girl in Town soon. It was getting very interesting.
SapphireSword: Thanks for letting DK know about Mariah. She was busy typing and she was meant to change Mariah into Anya and when she double-checked the document, the word Sleep is there. Maybe the net haywire her fic and turned it into sRobertp. O.o And yes that mysterious person in the shadows is Tala, considering he's keeping an eye on Rayne. What else... oh yeah, Rayne is an army soldier since the age of 10. So she knows all the tricks and stuff. They'll find Voltaire soon, possibly in this chapter, but they can't do anything about it since this new event is taking place and about 'nothing bad is gonna happen' will happen.
Kitty-Kris: Hi Me!!! Yeah. DK is improving her fluffs.
SchoolBoredom: HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN TO YOU TOO!!! You're prize is done and go to DK's bio and there would be a link. Look out for the title 'Request-Kai and Vivien' and then click on the link.
DK: YAY!!! 7 REVIEWS!!!
Amber: DK doesn't own Beyblade except the Blade Angels, and their bit-beast, Sergei and the Russian National Air force.
It was past midnight, and the loud volume of the music, the cheering from the citizens of Japan, the flash of colourful lights were now stopped as the fiesta came to an end. Every single house has its windows closed, the doors locked and the curtains along with the light switched off. The same thing occurred in Shuzoku Mansion, except rays of light could be seen faintly through the velvet curtains, in one of the rooms. The source of the light came from the lamp that lay on the bedside table between two twin beds, one of them occupied by a female neko-jin, Vivien.
She was sort of lying on the bed, her head against the wall, her back on top of the pillow and her whole body on the blanket, one leg bended, the other lay out straight in front of her. One arm was across her waist, the other playing with her silver locket, a sigh escaping from her lips as she closed her amber eyes.
Her mind went back to the wonderful moment, she ever dreamed of, the one she thought that would never happen, but happened. Kai Hiwatari, one of her best friends' brother kissed her on the old wooden dock of Japan, under the moonlight. Can the night get any romantic? What's more was that she has her locket returned to her. She opened her eyes, as both of her thumbs, lay on the clasp of the locket and with a click, it opened, revealing an empty space and a picture of herself and her twin brother, smiling, the background of the mountains of China. She sighed again and closed her eyes once more, closing the locket and letting it rest against her chest.
During her time of peace, her ears pricked up a faint sound of a creaking door, and once or twice, she can hear the sound of feet padding across the carpet. She tried to put the pieces together and before she knew it, she felt two weights on top of her, along with a loud yell with two voices merged together. Vivien shot her eyes open and saw pieces of red hair and black hair, tangled up. With her arms jammed under their bodies, using all her energy, she threw off her best friends of her, resulting in them being thrown of the floor.
"OW! No need to push hard!" Rayne exclaimed while rubbing her temple, getting up from her spot.
"No need to jump on me!" Vivien snapped back.
"Chill out Vivien. We're only joking." Anya said, getting up and sitting on the bed, next to Vivien.
"Sorry. You took me by surprised." Vivien sighed. Anya and Rayne exchanged sparkly eyes and high-five in the air.
"What are you guys so cheery about?" Vivien asked.
"That we surprised you. With you being a full neko-jin, it's hard to get away from doing pranks on you." Rayne said.
"Beside," Anya said, crawling across the bed and sitting right next to Vivien, "we need to hear every single detail of your very first true love kiss."
"WHAT!" Vivien almost screamed.
"Oh lighten up. Kai is getting the same treatment. He's already been glomped by Rei and now Tala joined in the fun when we arrived. So it's only we get the detail from you."
Vivien had her eyebrow raised.
"I doubt, they'll get enough information from him, consider what he's like."
"Oh, but you're wrong. Tala has his own ideas in getting important and secretive information from Kai." Rayne smirked evilly, while wriggling her fingers in front of her face as if doing a Hocus Pocus. Vivien groaned and hid her face in her arms that were now wrapping around her knees as she brought them up to her chins.
Anya giggled. "If you don't want us to hear it from the boys, you better start speaking."
"Fine!" came the muffle reply.
Rayne and Anya high-five again and leaned forward.
"We kissed." Came the muffle.
"You what?" Anya asked.
Vivien raised her now blushing face. "I said, we kissed... under the moonlight."
Anya squealed and wrapped her arms around Vivien's neck, Rayne following suit minus-ing the squealing.
"That's fantastic!" Rayne breathed. "That means the three of us are living a love life."
"The three of us? So I see you and Tala made up huh?" Vivien repeated.
It was Rayne's turned to blush but it was faint and covered thanks to her black triangles face paint.
"Yeah we made up. Quite a relief really. And do you know what's funny?"
The girls nodded eagerly.
"Tala thought I was in relationship with Robert."
Vivien raised her eyebrows, and Anya pretended to faint, resulting in banging her head against the floor again. The girls then turned her head to look at Anya, who had a frown on her face, rubbing her head again.
"You know the more you do that, the more likely you'll get brain damage." Vivien said.
"It's not my fault, your bed is single."
"How come I have a single bed?"
"We showed you the original bed, and you said something smaller. This is in fact a king-sized bed."
"So what size of bed do you have?" Vivien asked, as Anya returned to her spot on the bed, sitting down more securely.
"In my original bedroom, I have a queen-size bed. But since I'm sleeping in my nursery for a while, I'm currently sleeping on the king-size bed." Rayne explained as she got off the bed.
"So where are you going now?" Anya asked.
"My nursery. Time to chuck the boys out." Rayne grinned and left the room.
"NO!"
"Come on!"
"NO!"
"Please?!"
"NO!"
"Pretty please? With cheery on top?"
"With chocolate sprinkle on top?"
"With chocolate chips on top?"
"With jelly on top?"
"With cream on top?"
"With maple syrup on top?"
"Maple syrup?" Kai repeated, after hearing all the pleases coming from his two best friends, Tala and Rei."
"So are you going to tell us?"
"NO!" Kai demanded and banged his head onto the pillow, trying to muffle out the please that once again pleaded out.
"Please? With a beyblade on top?"
"Beyblade?"
"With Dranzer on top?"
"Not with Dranzer!"
"With the hot chick Britney Spears on top?"
Everything went silence after Tala announced his please using Britney Spears. All the boys turned to him, deadpanned.
"Britney Spears?" Kai and Rei repeated. Tala could only grinned sheepishly.
"You've still got the hots for that jerk?" Kai asked.
"Err..." Tala stuttered.
"You're going out with Rayne, and you've still got hots for that flop celebrity."
"Hey! She has the hots for The Rasmus!"
"The Rasmus are still the most popular in Russia of all history. Obviously she still has the hots for them." Kai rolled his eyes while explaining.
"But... but..." Tala stammered.
"And you have the hots for Vivien!" Rei put in.
"Yeah I do have the hots for your twin sister." Kai said, but suddenly stopped and let his hand fly over to his mouth.
Tala and Rei sat on Kai's bed, facing him with identically grins. They exchanged looks before screaming in a sing-a-song voice,
"We've got it! We've got it! We've got it! We've got it!"
Kai groaned and shrunk back into his bed, his head buried into the pillow once again, trying to drown out the song.
Rayne was now on the same corridor as the boys and stood frozen in the doorframe, taking in the scene. She could see Tala and Rei, holding hands in a criss-cross and skipping in circles, singing a victory chant and she can barely see Kai on his bed, sulking.
'One guess what happened.' Rayne grinned and leaned against the doorframe. Soon Rei and Tala got out of breath and sat down on the carpeted floor, the singing finally stopped, and the tormentor slowly going away... or is it?
"So I guess you guys got it out of him?" Rayne asked. The boys turned to her, two out of the three of them grinning like mad.
"Yup. It was hard..."
"And slightly hilarious...
"But we got the information we need."
"Your brother... has the hots... for my twin sister!"
Rayne grinned evilly, and her eyes sparkled.
"You know, Vivien said something similar." Rayne entered the room and walked to her bed.
"What did she say?" Tala asked.
"None of your business." Rayne answered, throwing the pillow at him, which hit him square on his face. The pillow left Tala's face in which he frowned. He grabbed the pillow that lazily lay on his lap and through it back to Rayne who caught and took a turn in hitting Rei. Rei yelped and grabbed a pillow near the wall and took an aim at Rayne. Rayne dodged and grabbed some more pillows near the balcony door and walked round her bed. She climbed on Kai's bed and hit his butt before jumping off and hitting Tala again somewhere on his body. It hit his side in which he turned and hit her back.
Rayne blocked the attack, using her own pillow for defence before they both hit each other on each other's side at the same time. Kai smiled at the scene of Rei hitting Tala's back and Rayne and Tala hitting each other's side at the same time and grabbed his own pillow and hit Rayne on her head. Everything froze and they all watched Rayne's expression; it became a frown to a determination and she pivoted and hitted Kai on the face, making him stumble back. And with a war cry did she screamed,
"PILLOW FIGHT!" and thus the boys and Rayne played, hitting each other with soft pillows. Rei managed to dodge many hits from the two boys but unsuccessfully dodged Rayne's hits. He dodged one last hit before exiting the room, saying he's going to sleep and went straight to his room, where Vivien was, sleeping peacefully.
With Rei out of the game, Rayne concentrated more in hitting Tala, making him fall and lay flat on his stomach on the carpet. Rayne sat on his legs so that he couldn't move and start hitting his head, earning a few complaints and groans. And to finish off the match, she grabbed as many pillows as she could reach and piled them up on top of Tala's head, before leaning forward, her arms resting on top of the pile. Kai raised his eyebrow in amusement, and exited the room, not wanting to witness the next scene for he knew the red-haired, and knows his next move.
Tala lay on his stomach for some time after Kai exited and felt that this long enough. He grunted and managed to sit up, getting the pillow off him but returned to the floor, when Rayne lightly pushed him. While being under her, Tala turned around so that he was lying on his back and facing Rayne, a smirk on his face. Rayne watched, with confused eyes, letting her guard down. He grabbed her forearms and turned 180, and with a yelp, Rayne found herself under Tala, the smirk never leaving his face. Rayne growled lightly and tried to get in control but froze, when Tala's face was only inches away. This time the smirk left his face, and was replaced with a soft smile, his eyes full of lust, love, passion and desire.
Rayne stopped struggling as Tala's face got closer and closer and just when she could feel his breath on her lips, she slowly closed her eyes and felt her lips being smooth by another. With Tala's hands, on her forearm, Rayne was able to bend her elbows, grabbing a hold of his t-shirt, moaning in the kiss. Tala teased Rayne, licking her bottom lip, begging for entrance. Rayne opened her mouth slightly, without hesitation and Tala slowly slipped his tongue into her mouth and immediately both tongues fought for dominance.
At the crack of dawn, early next morning, we have the usual birds chirping, the wind blowing softly, the road empty of people and cars and bicycle, the shops closed, and all curtains remaining closed. But at the crack of dawn, it also found, a group of eighteen teenagers, out in the morning dew, all in groups of four beside two beybladers, training, pulling their ripcord to launch their respective blade, attacking their opponents, increasing their power, endurance and defence. We found them running laps around the Shuzoku Forest, behind the Shuzoku Mansion, doing push-ups and lifting weights. Two remaining teenagers controlled all of these training: the Hiwatari Sibling!
"100 more push-ups!" one of them screamed at around 5am. The other beybladers, obeyed silently, doing one hundred more push-ups. Most of them were getting tired, sweaty, and slightly numb but not as much as the trainers, who were standing at a side, or walking around inspecting the battles.
Once the sun has lifted itself up, Rayne called it a day. As soon as she uttered the sentence, every beyblader collapsed on the soft green grass. Rayne rolled her eyes at the scene, and turned to glance at her twin brother for a bit before returning her attention to her friends and team-mates.
"You do realise, we're going to keep doing this until Voltaire is done for. Even though Kai and I are going to do the chasing, you guys are needed to hold the guards back while the two of us ascend. That's your job. To hold back anybody that gets in our way!" Rayne lectured.
The beyblader listened carefully and took in every single word Rayne spoke, while catching their breath.
"You can go now." Kai said, turning himself round and walking back to the mansion. The others followed suit. Only Rayne stood where she was, staring in space in front of the forest, waiting. Then she felt it, the familiar blow of the soft wind along with a few leaves and the scent of magnolia, surrounding her and a bright light appeared in front of her, taking the form of the two most familiar people she ever missed: her parents.
"Mother." Rayne breathed. Mrs Hiwatari smiled.
"How are you feeling?" Mr Hiwatari asked.
"Fine." Rayne answered.
"Everything OK?"
"Yep. Just finished training."
"Darling. There's something we have to tell you, and it is very important because it will help you when the time comes." Mrs Hiwatari said, going straight to business.
"What is it?" Rayne pressed.
"You know how every man of the Hiwatari mansion is the Ambassador or the heir to the ambassador?"
Rayne nodded.
"Well while the men have their own tradition, I have my own, and it passes down from mother to daughter."
"You mean, whatever that is important to you, it passed down to me?"
Mrs Hiwatari nodded.
"What is it?"
"Powers."
"Powers?" Rayne repeated. "Mother, there are all sorts of powers. Which are you talking about?"
"I'll show you."
Mr Hiwatari glided towards his daughter and stood behind her, his ghostly hand on her shoulder, in which she can feel his warmth flowing through her. Mrs Hiwatari stood back, and closed her eyes, concentrating on revealing this 'power'.
Everything was silent, no wind was blowing, no trees were moving, not a slightest leaf rustled. All was quiet, until the slight humming sound came from the lips of Mrs Hiwatari. And then it happened. White little orbs came out of nowhere, surrounding the ghost, more of them on her back, and from those orbs, something powerful and beautiful came out of her back.
"Wow!" Rayne breathed. What she saw was an angel. Her mother now has bright white wings, a few feathers falling for effect, and it attracted Rayne to come closer to her mother. Rayne reached her hand out but stopped in mid-air, asking permission. Mrs Hiwatari nodded and folded her wings forward slightly, so that Rayne could touch it. Underneath the soft feathers, Rayne could feel the power erupting from and realise that she may have this power too.
"Mother, if this power was passed down to me, what if I'm not able to control it?" Rayne whispered.
"You will control it." Mrs Hiwatari said softly.
"How to I summon it?"
"If you something and you believe in it, you'll get something."
"That doesn't make sense."
"Wish hard on what you want and you'll get it. It's all about wanting something and getting something."
"For example, if I want my wings to appear, all I have to do is wish for hard, and it'll come?"
The couple nodded, smiling.
Rayne bit her bottom lip. "I'm not going to try it now. I'm not sure if I'm ready."
"We know dear. I felt the same way too, when I was your age. If you want to try it, and need any kind of support, there's a way you can call to me."
"There is?"
"Yes there is. But we can't tell you at this moment, for our time is up."
"But..." Rayne started as tears clouded her vision.
"Don't worry. We'll guide you to find the key." Mrs Hiwatari said, as her voice became an echo.
"I love you both!" Rayne whispered.
"And we love you." Mr Hiwatari echoed.
Rayne watched the sky in which her parents faded to and felt a hand on her shoulder and she spun round to met with a pair of crimson eyes.
"Oh... Kai." Rayne spoke.
Kai reached out and wiped the remaining tears from her cheeks.
"Was that mum and dad?" he asked.
"Yeah." Rayne lowered her head, and stares at the ground. Kai looked at her and kissed the top of her head before rapping his arms around her shoulders in an embrace. Rayne smiled softly and returned the hug, wrapping her own arms around his waist. They broke off after a while and headed back to the mansion, Rayne telling everything that had just happened.
Rayne walked out of the mansion just after lunch, with her rucksack behind her, hanging off her shoulders, a small CD player hanging from her belt, the headphones around her neck. She was on the driveway of the Shuzoku Mansion when she heard something behind her and turned. She could see little Sergei, between the bars of the Balcony, outside the entrance.
"What's up, bumblebee?" Rayne asked.
"Where are you going?" Sergei answered.
"Park. Wanna come?"
"Yeah!" Sergei went inside the mansion and grabbed something before running out of the mansion, down the stairs and down the driveway towards Rayne. He grabbed Rayne's outstretched hand, and held it, walking alongside her.
"So what are we going to do in the park?" Sergei asked, as they weaved in and out of the crowd of the street, leading to the entrance of the park.
"Well, what did you bring?" Rayne answered.
"My beyblade." Sergei chirped.
"Great. Then we can practice making your beyblade stronger. I've got my laptop with me so I can analyse your beyblade."
"Awesome! Would I also be able to get a bib-beep like you and Big brother?" Sergei jumped.
"A bib-beep? Oh you mean Bit-beast." Rayne laughed lightly. "Well, I know you have an innocent side, your heart is pure and if you train hard, then you're likely to get a bit-beast."
"Yay!"
While having small chats between the two, they placed their foot at the emerald green grass, as they entered the park, the sun shining brightly, the birds chirping, butterflies flying from one pretty flower to another. Sergei and Rayne walked across the grass into the familiar playing area where there were several beyblading dishes. Some were used as a few kids played a friendly match.
Sergei watched a few while Rayne sat down on a spot on the soft green grass, taking her laptop out of her bag, and placing her headphones in the bag along with her CD player. She opened the lid and a voice spoke out,
"Afternoon, Lady Rayne. How may I assist you?"
Rayne rolled her eyes at the attitude of moon-surf. He speaks two completely different languages. When stuck in the laptop, he becomes a person who gives a lot of respect, like an important person but when in his usual form as a flat, floating crescent moon, he becomes someone childish.
"I wanna do a few analysing on a few teams beyblades." Rayne said.
"And you're talking about Blade Angels, Bladebreakers, Demoliton Boys and the Majestics."
"Er... yeah."
"Thought so. DO YOU REALISE HOW MUCH WORK I'M DOING?"
"Hey! You do all the analysing and I do all the researches and upgrades. So don't you go saying you did all of the work. I did half as much as you normally do."
"You've got a point there." Moon-surf muttered. Rayne smirked and open a few files, some of the already collected data on the teams. Nearby, Sergei was watching the battle held by two boys, and was amazed by the power, the beyblade has.
Suddenly a bright green butterfly appeared right in front of his eyes, and now Sergei was mesmerized at its beauty. Without telling Rayne what he's up to and never leaving his eyes off the butterfly, the butterfly began to move, with Sergei jogging towards it, trying to catch it, wanting to be it's friend. As the butterfly keep flying and flying away, Sergei kept on going deeper and deeper into the park, unaware of the surroundings. Especially unaware of a few pairs of eyes watching the little kid.
"How much longer?" Moon-surf whined.
"Not much. Run the video again and record the attack, defence and endurance used in this battle."
"Sure. But aren't you meant to train Sergei?" Moon-surf reminded.
"Oh yeah." Rayne looked up to see Sergei nowhere. "Sergei?" Rayne got up from her spot and put the laptop away in her bag and began searching the park near the blading area.
"SERGEI!" Rayne called out several times. She arrived near the dish and saw the same two boys they she saw earlier. She ran up to them, hoping they have some answers.
"Excuse me." Rayne called. The two boys looked up. "Have you seen a little boy with blonde hair, around here somewhere?"
"Yeah. He was watching the battle about ten minutes ago." One of the boys answered.
"Then he saw this green butterfly and followed it. I think he went that way." The second boy added, pointing to the direction behind him.
Rayne eyes widen slightly. "Thank you." She shouted when she bolted to the direction. 'Oh Sergei, where did you go my little bumblebee?' Rayne thought desperately.
DK: Erm... I'm going to stop there.
Rayne: What are you trying to do?!
DK: Trying to keep my stories long using all the bad things that are happening.
Anya: And what happened to your pages?
DK: I've returned to my normal twelve pages routine thingy. ::shrugs:: I had a writer's block remember and the only way to get it out is to write up your chapters bit by bit and that's how it's going to be!!
Alexia: I don't get.
DK: I had a writer's block for a whole week so I'm writing last week's chapter in my usual number of pages, and then slowly I'll add more pages to the other chapters. But I can't guarantee that. Anyways don't forget I need 5 reviews for this chapter before I can upload my next chapter that will be done in two days. Hopefully.
Amber: So have a nice day and see you really soon!!!
