Declaimer: I don't own beyblade but do however own any unknown characters. Now here's the next chapter.
15: Cause Love
It was around midnight before Moon stepped into the hotel room, quietly walking to her room so as not to wake the boys she opened her bedroom door and stepped in only to gasped in surprise when she saw who was sitting on her bed looking extremely pissed off,
"Um Raven what are you doing still up?" she stuttered out
"Me, what about you, its past midnight you should have been back hours ago" snapped Raven
"Look I'm sorry alright, I lost track of time, but you shouldn't have waited up for me" Moon shot back
"Well someone has to make sure you're not getting yourself into things you'll be unable to get out of"
"What's that supposed to mean!" hissed Moon glaring at the jet-black haired young man,
"Just checking to make sure you and Kai weren't out doing something that you shouldn't be" replied Raven his eyes narrowed
"I don't need checking on, and what I do with Kai is my choice, you have no say in the matter, and what would make you think he's with me anyways!" shot Moon her temper rising
"Well he's not here yet," snapped Raven
"He's not" Moon frowned at this, thinking that Kai would have come back to the hotel room ages ago
"No I haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon" spoke Raven
"Well I saw him this morning in the training centre, but haven't seen him since then"
"Me and Emerald where in the training centre earlier on, but I never saw him, but then again it's not like I surveyed the room looking for people I might have known," responded Raven
"I guess he'll come back when he's ready," mumbled Moon
"Argh forget Kai, he can look after himself, if he wants to stay out till two in the morning then let him, it's not my problem, I'm going to bed now" shot Raven before standing and leaving Moon alone in her room. Once Raven had finished speaking complete silence entered the room, causing Moon to feel quite uncomfortable, standing for awhile she wounder why Kai would still be out but then decided to not bother about him and get some sleep, changing out of her normal clothes she slipped into bed, sleep quickly taking over.
Back in the training centre a figure still sat in the darkness, elbows resting on his knees and his face buried in his hands, he continually went over the events of the past in his mind, trying to figure out what was wrong and right, and a way to make things better between himself and Moon, one of the few people he cared about and who had actually ever cared for him back, but then that was where emotion came into it, he had always been trained to block his emotions and never show feelings to anyone, so how could he stick by his training but also find a way to make things better. What made everything even more difficult was that there was this voice in the back of his mind who was constantly trying to manipulate him into doing to wrong thing, and the added fact of how familiar this voice sounded, but Kai couldn't quite put his finger on it and it was driving him crazy,
'I feel bad for causing Moon to become upset, but I really didn't mean to hurt her feelings, I wasn't using her,'
What are you talking about, of course you were, you don't love her you said so yourself mocked the voice in his head,
'Leave me alone, I didn't use Moon for my own pleasure, I...I just...'
See you don't even know yourself, you're unable to answer that question, so if you have no feelings for her then you were obviously using her sneered the voice
'NO, that's not true...'
Of course it is, stop denying it, your emotionless, that's how you were trained and that's how you will remain, I will not stand for such pathetic feelings to make there way into your mind shot the dark voice in his head sending a sudden flash of pain through his body causing the Russian to jump slightly,
'You have no right to tell me what to do, leave my mind, you're only making things more difficult' snapped Kai
No I'm helping you make the right choice, which is to forget her, never let her enter your thoughts again and to accept the fact that you don't like her and never will like her, what happened last night was just this pathetic lust you talked to her about, now leave it at that and continue your training for the tournament hissed the voice again,
'As long as things are like this between me and Moon I can't concentrate properly on my training, so if that's what you want me to do then I suggest that you leave me for awhile to figure things out for myself' sneered Kai glaring at the metal image of the creature invading his mind, even though he still couldn't quite work out who the voice belonged to.
I will do no such thing, there is nothing left to work out, the answers are simple snapped the darkening voice.
Like a sentence of death,
I got no options left,
I've got nothing to show now.
I'm down on the ground,
I got seconds to live,
and you can't go now.
'Who the fuck are you?' snapped Kai his face still buried deep in his hands, as he sat in the darkness
I would have thought that you'd have known my voice anywhere replied the voice
'Well you sound familiar but I can't quite work it out' spoke Kai in his mind continuing the metal conversation
Well that's too bad, you'll just have to live with it then, look I'm not hear to chat alright shot the cold haunting voice sending a shiver over Kai's body.
'Cause love, like an invisible bullet shot me down
and I'm bleeding, yeah I'm bleeding
and if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me.
Will bring you back to me.
'Well I suggest you leave then' snarled Kai narrowing his eyes
I think not, for as long as I'm here I have control over you and your action, and there is no way I will allow you any where near that girl again mocked the voice
'You have control over me, ha don't make me laugh, I do what I want when I want, there is no way I'm going to let you influence me into doing or not doing anything, NOW LEAVE MY MIND' yelled Kai in his head, suddenly familiar laughter entered his mind, an evil darkening laugh that caused all thoughts and actions to stop, Kai knew that laugh that voice but why couldn't he remember it, it was on the tip of his tongue,
Alright I'll let you go for now, but I'll be back young master spoke the voice, Kai could tell that the creature was smirking at him, the tone of it's voice gave away everything.
You're a dirty needle,
you're in my blood and there's no curin' me.
And I wanna run, like the blood from a wound
to a place you can't see me.
'Cause love, like a blow to the head has left me stunned
and I'm reeling, yeah I'm reeling
and if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me.
'Is that voice really right, did I just use Moon without even knowing it, I guess in a way I kind of did, I never had real feelings her, just this...lust for her. And I told her that, so why did she get so angry at me, I know her feelings for me are more than mine are for her, but she knew that, in the past few days maybe she figured that I liked her more than I let on, and maybe I do. But then...' Kai broke off, not knowing how to answer his question, sighing Kai looked up, his dark crimson orbs scanning the pitch black training centre, unable to see anything but darkness Kai lowered his sight to the floor, tired crimson orbs stared at his own two feet, about to only thing he could see in the darkness, but just barely.
You're a cold piece of steel between my ribs
and there's no savin' me.
And I can't get up,
from this wet crimson bed that you made for me.
That you made for me!
'Cause love like a knife in the back's cut me down
and I'm bleeding, yeah I'm bleeding,
and if you go, angels will run to defend me, to defend me
'Maybe I should just go talk to Moon in the morning about this, though I doubt she'll ever want to see my face again let alone talk to me, why must girls be like this, they make everything so difficult and hard to get right. But the one question still remains, do I or do I not...love her' Kai frowned at the though thinking hard about it, but in the end like always he came up with nothing once again,
'Maybe if I hadn't been trained in the abbey to block all my emotion and taught that they would be may downfall then this would all be a lot easier, but then I guess my grandfather was right, feelings only ever complicate things, if I had no emotion then I wouldn't be sitting here right now trying to think of a way to make things right again' sighed Kai once again resting his head in his hands.
'Cause I can't get up, I'm as cold as a stone,
I can feel the life fade from me.
I'm down on the ground, I got seconds to live,
and what's that that waits for me, oh that waits for me
'Cause love like a sentence of death's left me stunned,
and I'm reeling, yeah I'm reeling,
and if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me.
Master I think you need some sleep, forget about Moon for now and go get some rest, you can think about it some more in the morning, some sleep will help you think better spoke Dranzer's calm soothing voice,
'Maybe you're right, I guess I can figure this out in the morning, maybe a quick talk with Moon will help, what's the use of trying to figure out if I love her or not if she's not going to return the feelings' thought Kai as he slowly stood from his spot and made his way back to the hotel room he shared with the Shadow Team.
By the time Kai made it up to his room, it was 2:45am, making his way quietly to his room Kai changed his clothes and slipped into bed, though he lay awake for another hour or so, the Russian was soon able to get some sleep.
"Come on Tyson hurry up" Ray snapped lightly
"Yeah I'm getting there, just hold on" replied Tyson as he lazily pulled himself from bed.
The Bladebreakers were hoping to use today as another training session, so they all minus Tyson of course had woken up relevantly early. They were now just waiting on their last member to get ready.
"Once I've had breakfast we can get going," grinned Tyson as the others sighed.
After spending almost half an hour eating breakfast the Bladebreakers finally managed to head down to the training centre.
"So you all ready for another days hard work?" asked Kenny
"No" mumbled Tyson causing the others to grin,
"Come on if we want to win the tournament then we had better start acting more serious about our training, and that goes for you to Tyson, I know that at the present moment you can't do much training but once your arm is healed you're going to have to work hard alright" spoke Ray
"Yeah I know," replied Tyson
"Well I say enough chit chat, lets get going" smiled Aaron as he pulled out his blade and ran towards to dish,
"Yeah you're on!" cheered Max as he too pulled out his green beyblade and headed after Aaron who had already launched Dracken into the dish, he was now just waiting for an opponent,
"Hey don't leave me out!" yelled Ray running over as well,
"Well it looks like it's just you and me Tyson" spoke Kenny
"Sorry chief but I'm going to go for a walk, there isn't much for me to do around here with my arm like this, so I'll see you in an hour of so, ok" replied Tyson as he walked from the training centre,
"Well Ok" shrugged Kenny before going back to typing away on his laptop.
"It's so boring around here by yourself" Tyson spoke to himself as he wonder around the lobby,
"I wounder where the other teams are? All training of corse" mumbled Tyson as he slumped down into a chair. Tyson breathed a heavy sigh before getting up and heading off to walk through the many halls.
"Where is he?" shot Emerald as the young man became impatent
"Well considering that he didn't get back till god knows what time this morning, he's probably still half asleep" spoke Raven in a somewhat calmer voice,
"Well I'm going to see what's taking him so long," said Emerald as he strode into Kais room.
When he walked in the brown haired youth found his team leader dressed and ready, but just sitting there on his bed staring at the floor a blank look on his face.
"Kai" spoke Emerald but the teen was ignored
"Kai" repeated Emerald with a more firm tone hoping to catch his leaders' attention but failed,
"Hello, earth to Kai anyone there?" Emerald waved a hand in front of Kais face but that still didn't grab his attention, instead he seemed quite preoccupied with staring at the floor.
"What's with you!" yelled Emerald
"Huh?" came the tied reply as Kai slowly lifted his sight to match that of Emeralds,
"Come on, we've been waiting half an hour for you, lets get going already" snapped Emerald
"Yeah" sighed Kai as he stood and followed the green eyed Russian from his room.
In the main room both Raven and Moon waited for their two remaining team mates, as Kai and Emerald came out Raven shot some remark while Moon remained quite. As they left the hotel room, both Kai and Moon refused to look at each other and just remained quite while Raven and Emerald would occasionally speak a few words to one another.
"Hey where'd Tyson go?" asked Max when his battle with Ray and Aaron ended with Ray as the winner, Max was now taking a short break while his leader and youngest member continued to battle it out.
"Umm he left a little while ago, he said something about going for a walk" answered Kenny,
"Oh" shrugged Max as he sat down next to Kenny to watch the raging battle.
'Hey it's the Shadow Team' thought Tyson as he looked to the end of the hall where he spotted the Russian team walking towards him,
"Not that they'll be much fun to talk to" he muttered as they got closer,
"Hey guys what's up" smiled Tyson trying ever so hard to be friendly and have something remotely nice said back, but as usual with the Shadow Team all he got in return was a bunch of death glares,
"If you want to use the training room you'll have to wait because my team is there at the moment" spoke Tyson again and as he figured no answer was ever given. Sighing in defeat Tyson turned and continued on down the hall hoping to bump into someone else he new.
"What do you prepose we do about the Bladebreakers using the training centre?" asked Emerald looking back at Kai who was still staring at the ground,
"Umm hello Kai, I asked you a question?" snapped Emerald but again he was ignored
"We'll just make them leave" spoke Raven answering the question himself seeing as his leader wasn't about to,
"Ok" shrugged Emerald as he turned back to the front.
As the Russian team entered the training centre they were met with the familiar sight of the Bladebreakers battling it out, Kenny sat off to the side typing away on his laptop while Ray and Aaron battled in the dish and Max stood by the dish jumping and cheering each of them on.
"Well now isn't that cute" spoke Raven causing the four Bladebreakers to stop what they were doing and look up in the eldest Russians direction.
"What do you want?" snapped Ray glaring at the jet-black haired youth,
"Oh nothing much, except the training room to ourselves" he shot
"Well you aren't going to get it, because we were here first and aren't going to just leave because you told us to," replied Ray
"Yeah we have every right to this room as you do," added Max
"Well we're here now, so your time is up, now get lost!" snarled Emerald
"No!" yelled Ray standing his ground. Raven and Emerald both stood tall and proud facing Ray and Max, while Kenny stood off to the side not wanting to be noticed, Aaron stood a few metres behind Ray and Max somewhat dumbfounded by the argument, while Kai and Moon both stood behind Emerald and Raven completely quiet and staring at the floor not wanting to make eye contact with anyone, least of all each other.
"No?" questioned Raven narrowing his midnight black orbs at the Asian,
"Yes no, now leave, you'll just have to wait till later when we're finished" Ray spoke sounding extremely confident with himself,
"I don't think so, you see where not ones that have much patients, so I suggested you leave now before things get ugly" hissed Raven
"You can't threaten us" shot Max
"Oh really" snickered Emerald
"Yeah, and from the looks of things you're down two members" replied Ray
"What?' frowned Emerald, then turning round quickly picked up on what he meant, both Kai and Moon were totally out of it, staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world, though their eyes seemed to hold no source of emotion,
"What is with them?" whispered Emerald through clenched teeth as his anger rose,
"I have no idea, they've been like this the whole morning" Raven shot back soft enough for only Emerald to here,
"This mightn't be too easy without there support, it doesn't look like they're going to step down willingly" whispered Emerald
"We don't need them, and I'm not about to be pushed around by this pathetic pair"
"They're probably thinking the same thing," hissed Emerald
"Look we are not leaving," snarled Raven
"You ladies done" spoke Ray breaking the argument that had began to take place between the two Russians, in return they growled back not liking what Ray had suddenly said.
Attack them now, they are mocking your team, don't stand for it Kai,
'Huh, not you again'
Yes listen to me, you want them gone out of the way, do it now!
"You WILL leave now, other wise you are all going to end up with at least something broken and I'm not talking about your pride" spoke a deep, chilling voice,
"What?" questioned Ray looking over in 'his' direction
Yes that's it
"You heard me, NOW GO, before I really start to get pissed off" hissed Kai raising his sight to where Ray stood,
"Like I said before, No, we aren't going to tolerate being pushed around by you"
"That's what you say now," growled Kai
"We can get you kicked out of the tournament for threatening bodily harm or actually doing it" spoke Max,
"I'd like to see you try," snarled Kai, his tone of voice sending a shiver down the blonds spine,
"I don't see us settling this" Aaron suddenly spoke up from where he stood behind Ray and Max
Do it now, remove them
"Oh we'll settle this" hissed Kai as he pushed past Raven and Emerald, at seeing Kai come straight for them Ray and Max both went wide eyed and took a step back,
"What no, Kai wait" shot Emerald as he lunged forwards and gripped Kai's arm, Raven quickly coming to his aid to keep Kai back,
Don't let them restrain you, fight for all you're worth, let the darkness take you
"Let me go" spat Kai struggling to be set free
"We didn't really have in mind causing them any physical harm" spoke Emerald
"You don't but I do, I want them permanently out of the way" growled Kai as he continued to struggle
"And they will be but not yet and not like this," snapped Raven as he tightened his iron-like grip
"This isn't how Voltaire want's it, destroy them in a beybattle, that's the way it's supposed to be done," shot Emerald pulling Kai back further as he struggled to get closer to Ray and Max,
Don't let them influence you, you're not to take orders from any one, least of all them, fight them, FIGHT
"I don't care, this way will be just as efficient, I don't see why Dranzer gets to have all the fun"
"Maybe we should just let him go?" spoke Emerald, Raven shrugged before letting go of Kai's arm and stepping back, soon followed by Emerald as he too released his grip on his team leader. Walking quickly up to Ray and Max, Kai clenched his fists,
"Wait no, we'll leave" Ray suddenly spoke
"That's not going to stop me" shot Kai as he drew his arm back before punching Ray in the jaw, the force sent the Asian teen to the floor with a thud,
"NOW GET OUT, OR DO THE REST OF YOU WANT TO BE KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AS WELL," yelled Kai, while keeping his sight on Kai Max quickly helped Ray to his feet before the Bladebreakers left the training centre somewhat shocked by what had taken place.
"We should have done that from the start" laughed Emerald. While Emerald and Raven got ready for a battle both Moon and Kai sat down in the stands, Kai a lot further back,
Excellent, you did well my little phoenix now sarcome to the nightmare that is your life, you're not to let others push you around under any circumstance
"What you two aren't training?" asked Emerald
"We went through all that for nothing, it seems pointless if it's only me and Emerald" spoke Raven
"Oh don't worry" said Emerald as he launched his blade into the dish, with a shrug Raven did the same, their battle quickly getting under way, for hours they trained and for hours both Moon and Kai didn't move from where they sat, neither talking.
I hope that chapter wasn't too confusing, and the song in this chapter was 'Furious Angels' by 'Rob Dougan' it's from the Matrix Reloaded Soundtrack.
