Sorry for the long wait, I've been feeling very uninspired lately.
19: Suspicions
"So would you care to explain why you're willing to hand over our bit beasts" shot Moon once the Shadow Team entered their hotel room
"Like I said before I didn't have a choice" Kai snapped back
"That's not good enough Kai, I refuse to let them have Whisper"
"Well then why don't you call my grandfather and tell him that yourself, because he won't listen to me" snarled Kai, Moon stayed quite while crossing his arms and looking away
"That's what I thought," shot Kai
"Look as much as I hate to admit it, I don't think we have a choice here, Voltaire has asked for our bit beasts as well, so that's what we have to give him" spoke Raven
"What, I don't think so," snapped Emerald glaring over at the jet black haired teen,
"If you're not happy with the idea then call Voltaire and yell at him because I don't want to here it, none of us want to hand over out beasts but sometimes these thing have to be done, weather we like it or not" Raven spoke again,
"Enough of this, it's getting late, I'm going to bed" spoke Kai before walking off towards his room, with a sigh Emerald followed soon after, Raven headed to the kitchen while Moon sat down on the couch with her arms crossed, still not happy about to idea of having to give up her bit beast.
The early morning sun crept up from behind the horizon bathing the sky in a liquid fire glow, the dawn sky picture perfect, and he sighed as he watched the sun continue its slow accent into the sky, with his forearms resting on the cold metal railing of the balcony Kai let his head drop to the side so it was pressed against his upper arm.
'What am I going to do?' he silently asked himself
'I don't want to hand Dranzer over to grandfather, who knows what types of experiments he'll do to her'
'I mean think of what happened last time'
"Black Dranzer was born," he mumbled into his arm, suddenly by saying that name something seemed to click in Kai's mind, but it was suddenly forgotten,
"And the others, they hate me now for allowing their bit beasts to be taken as well," he continued to speak softly to himself
"Well it's not like they liked me before," Kai let out another long sigh before gazing back up at the sky, his dark crimson orbs scanning the heavens.
'Dranzer what should I do?' the Russian youth silently asked his bit beast,
Let her go, she's not worth it! Hissed the voice in Kai's mind, speaking up so suddenly and unexpectedly that Kai jumped in surprise
'What, how dare you!" Kai shot back glaring at the blurred mental image of the creature invading his thoughts, but oddly enough no response was given, like the creature had come forwards to say something nasty then retreaded back into the depths of his mind, leaving him feeling confused.
Later that day the Shadow Team were back down in the training centre, Moon and Emerald battling fiercely, while Kai and Raven sat to the side watching intently, with one final attack Moon's blade knocked Emerald's from the dish before it too slowed to a stop, ending the battle in a tie.
"Not your best Moon" spoke a voice from behind, looking over the four Russians spotted Boris standing by the door to the training centre,
"Nor was that yours Emerald" he continued as he walked down the stairs to meet the teens,
"Boris" Kai greeted with a glare,
"I wish to speak with Kai privately for a moment, so you three can go and do something else for the mean time" shot Boris, narrowing his eyes at the man Raven walked off, Emerald following while a growl sounding deep within his throat, Moon glared before leaving as well.
"What do you want" snapped Kai,
"Now that's no way to greet someone" spoke Boris,
"I don't give a shit, just hurry up and say what it is you want then leave" snarled Kai
"Patients Kai" spoke Boris, Kai just growled back to get the man to hurry things up,
"Well the Shadow Team will soon be declared the champions…" Boris was quickly cut off,
"I know this, just hurry up and get on with it" snapped Kai
"BioVolt didn't just enter a team for the glory of championships, there's more to it"
"No shit"
"We need bit beasts Kai and your team will collect every one of them, is that clear" explained Boris glaring at the youth
"Everyone, but…" Kai frowned
"Don't question me, you will capture every beast here no matter what it takes" snarled Boris
"What about my teams?" asked Kai cutting in,
"What? No" Boris seemed almost taken aback by the question
"And then when that is done you will report back to the underground abbey, once there…" Boris continued till being cut off once again
"Wait" hissed Kai
"What" shot Boris,
"Yesterday grandfather rang me and told me which bit beasts he wants and yet now what you say is almost something completely different not to mention somewhat more difficult"
"Well did it occur to you that perhaps the plans have been changed" snapped Boris
"Already, it hasn't even been 24 hours and grandfather would have called and said that you were coming to change what's happening" snarled Kai
"Well Kai, your grandfather is a very busy man and doesn't have time to ring you for every little detail that may have changed" snapped the older man
"Fine but just make sure you know where your loyalties lie" hissed Kai
"And what's that supposed to mean" snapped Boris
"It can mean whatever you want it to, but I'm simply stating that you had better not double cross the Hiwatari family, so watch your back Boris" growled Kai narrowing his crimson orbs,
"Are you threatening me" shot Boris
"Call it what you will, but I smell something fishy going on here and I don't like it, just make sure you don't go and stab my grandfather in the back and have your own little plan forming" hissed Kai before leaving.
'Who does that little brat think he is, I think he may need to be taught a lesson about respect' Boris stood in the training centre watching the door Kai had left through,
'But I had better be more careful, Kai is a very intelligent young man and may quickly pick up on what's going on, and if that happens he's sure to tell Voltaire, then everything will be ruined'
'Damn I wish I had known that Voltaire had called Kai, now the brat is suspicious of me, which means that soon Voltaire will be too'
'Argh I can't afford to have things go wrong' Boris growled deep in his throat before leaving the training centre, and making his way from the hotel.
"So what did Boris want?" asked Emerald when Kai exited the training centre,
"It seems that now we have to collect every bit beast here, rather than just the Bladebreakers" spoke Kai
"What, but that could be almost impossible" snapped Moon
"No, it wouldn't be impossible, we could do it, but it would be difficult and take a lot of time" explained Raven,
"That man gets on my nerves, first he wants our bit beast then everyone else's" shot Moon,
"Well actually, he doesn't need out bit beasts anymore" spoke Kai
"Huh, but yesterday he said…" Emerald frowned thinking this to be very weird
"I know, it seems strange that the plans should change so quickly" said Kai thoughtfully
"Why are we complaining, this means we don't have to give up our bit beasts" spoke Moon
"Yeah, but even so it does sound awfully strange, it's not like Voltaire to change his mind this quickly and over something so big" came Raven's voice,
"Well I say who cares, as long as Whisper doesn't leave me I don't give a shit" with that Moon turned and headed back up towards their hotel room
"I agree with Moon, let Voltaire change his mind, he's not taking our bit beasts now" spoke Emerald before following the silver haired girl,
"I don't agree, something is up, it sounds to me like Boris has some kind of plain of his own forming" spoke Raven looking over at Kai,
"Yes, well I'll have to have a word with my grandfather to confirm things, I don't trust Boris one bit" the two Russian youths then made their way back up to their room.
The Bladebreakers were heading back to the hotel after a morning out in the city, feeling tied from a lot of walking they headed straight for their hotel room, each teem wanting to collapse on their bed, as they entered the hotel they seemed to miss Boris walking off down the street but did however catch the end of the Shadow Teams conversation before the Russian teens headed off towards the elevators. Normally to avoid conflict the Bladebreakers would have taken the stairs after seeing the four youths head towards the lifts, but they were so exhausted that they probably wouldn't make it up the many stairs, so they decided to take a chance and headed over to the elevators as well. Of course with life being as cruel as it is the Bladebreakers were forced to bunch in with the Russians as the elevator made its slow accent to level 9 where the Breakers would then be getting off and home free.
"So how was your morning?" asked Max looking up at Kai, who ignored the blond
"You don't have to be so rude you know, you can answer, it's only the polite thing to do" spoke Aaron when he noticed the lack of Kai's attention towards Max,
"Well why don't you shut up and mind your own business, we don't have to say anything to you if we don't want to" snapped Moon glaring at the youngest teen,
"Oh I see what happening here" spoke Tyson nodding his head, his eyes closed in understanding,
"Huh?" Max gave Tyson a questioning look his eyebrows risen,
Tyson was about to speak again when suddenly the elevator jumped, Aaron, Kenny and Tyson falling to the floor while the others steadied themselves against the walls of the lift, the lights blanked out for a moment before flickering back on,
"Oh fuck no!" shot Kai his voice rising in anger,
"Not again" sighed Moon as she slumped to the floor,
"Don't tell me the elevators stopped" spoke Ray glancing around
"Ok" shrugged Tyson as he stood back up,
"No, this can't be happening," wailed Kenny clutching his hair
"Shut up!" snapped Raven, glaring at the small brunette,
"We'll just have to wait" spoke Kai crossing his arms over his chest,
"Hello, anyone there, hello please we need help" Max spoke into the emergency talk button but got no answer, with a sigh the blue eyed teen sat down on the floor,
"Well this is just great" spoke Emerald folding his arms
"Why of all the people in the word did it have to be them" spoke Tyson looking up at the ceiling with saddened eyes, as if he were asking God himself the question,
"What's that supposed to mean?" snapped Moon glaring at Tyson, who gulped, a look of terror taking over his features,
"Please let me live through this," whispered Tyson, closing his eyes and clasping his hands together as if he were praying.
"Now what?" asked Aaron
"All we can do it just wait" replied Ray.
"Argh how long has it been?" shot Moon glaring over at Kenny, who was the only one with a watch,
"Umm, about an hour now" stuttered the small boy
"What's taking them so long?" she snapped
"Calm down, it isn't going to make things go any faster" spoke Emerald glancing over at the silver/black haired female,
"This is so boring" wined Tyson
"Hey Tyson, what was it that you were about to say before the elevator stopped?" asked Moon,
"Huh?" Tyson looked up in shock, wounding why Moon would be asking him a question,
"You know, when Max asked Kai about this morning, then Aaron said something about being rude, you were like oh I see what's going on here, I'm interested in what it was that you seemed to know" Moon asked,
"Oh that, well hehehe" Tyson rubbed the back of his head while holding a sheepish grin,
"Argh it doesn't matter now" he replied
"Sure it does" spoke Moon
"Umm well," Tyson cleared his throat "cause Mr. D spoke to you guys about your behaviour and threatening people, mainly us. And so just before would have been a good time to say something nasty but you didn't, cause maybe you're worried you know and well yeah" explained Tyson.
"Do you want me to threaten you" shot Kai raising his fist
"Ah no" squeaked Tyson
"Pathetic" mumbled Raven rolling his eyes
"Kai, why did you leave our team?" Ray asked the unexpected question causing most in the elevator to look over at the Asian teen
"Like I'd tell you" shot the Russian
"Well we deserve to know" spoke Max
"Does pathetic idiots that can't blade for shit ring a bell," snapped Moon
"Hey stay out of this, and we can blade, why do you think we're the champions" shot Tyson
"I hardly see how what you guys do can be called blading, and as for being champions, that's only because Kai was part of your team" spoke Emerald
"Oh yeah, well why is it that he lost his match to Spence in the finals when Ray and Tyson both won their matches" shot Max
"Luck, and Kai defeated Tala after Tyson only came a draw" Emerald spoke again,
"Wait, you lost to Spencer," laughed Moon looking over at Kai who sat with his arms crossed and eyes closed
"Like Emerald said, luck" mumbled Kai not bothering to look up in Moon's direction
"I don't give a shit about luck, you lost to Spencer, how could you lose to that…thing" Moon spoke again, clearly enjoying this
"Shut up" shot Kai, his eyebrows risen as he gave Moon a funny look,
"Enough about that, I still want an answer to my question" Ray spoke again looking dead serious
"And I already said that I'm not answering" shot Kai
"Why, afraid" smirked Tyson
"Why would I be afraid?" Kai asked back, Tyson just shrugged his shoulders.
Ray opened his mouth to speak again but Raven beat him to it,
"Look don't waste your breath, he doesn't have to answer you and wont, what Kai does is his business and no one else's, you have no right to question him"
"I don't care, he was our team captain before you guys came along, then suddenly without reason he just leaves us, right before the tournament was about to start, we're lucky Mr Dickinson managed to find a suitable blader to replace you, or we would have had to forfeit" shot Ray, clearly angry, Kai just grunted while shrugging his shoulders, not caring in the least.
"Don't just shrug your shoulders, answer us!" snapped Max
"I'm not in the mood for this shit, so shut up and leave me alone," snarled Kai
"When will you be in the mood huh, because whenever we see you walking around you always just ignore us" shot Ray
"I wounder why" mumbled Moon
"Stay out of this, bitch" snapped Ray shocking everyone,
"How dare you," hissed Moon
"Do you want to start something" growled Raven clenching his fists,
"Watch your mouth you fucking asshole!" snarled Emerald glaring fiercely,
"I'm trying to ask Kai a question here, and you all keep interrupting" shot Ray again
"Interrupting, Kai already said he wasn't answering your question, yet you seem not to understand that" yelled Moon
"Well maybe he's not answering because of you lot" shot Tyson joining in the argument
"Because of us, whatever" spoke Moon her eyebrows raised
"Would you all fucking shut up!" yelled Kai causing silence to fall upon the elevator,
"Now, you lot stay out of this, I can handle them myself" spoke Kai pointing his index finger towards the Shadow Team
"As for you idiots, I already told you that it's not your business what I do, and 'my team' has nothing to do with me not saying anything" Kai then pointed his finger at the Bladebreakers,
"And as for you" hissed Kai narrowing his crimson orbs at Ray
"DON'T YOU SWEAR AT MY TEAM AGAIN OR YOU WON'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO REGRET IT!"
Everyone in the lift stared wide eyed at the slate haired Russian youth, somewhat taken aback by his sudden out burst towards Ray, the lift was silent for a moment before Ray gathered the courage to speak,
"Me swearing at them, what about you, swearing at us!"
"You think I give a shit, look I don't ever want to hear you use that language towards my team again, do I make myself clear" spoke Kai in a calm voice, though his eyes were narrowed and he was cracking his knuckles.
"You're only acting like this because Ray called Moon a bitch, if it were Emerald or Raven you'd be acting different" spoke Max
"Oh so now you know how I react to the things that you say about my team members, is that it, you seem to think that you know me that well that you can predict how I'll react to things said and done now, because you know nothing about me!" snapped Kai glaring at the blond,
"What no, I was just saying that…"
"No I don't want to here it, so just shut up"
"See there you go, snapping at my team" shot Ray
"WOULD YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP!" yelled Moon glaring at the boys
"I'm getting a head ache from all this" she added while rubbing her temples.
Silence once again fell upon the elevator for a moment,
"So…" spoke Max
"Don't try to start up another conversation with us" shot Emerald, Max only sighed.
After what had seemed like an eternity the elevator jumped again before the doors opened up to the seventh floor,
"Finely" spoke Moon getting up off the floor, the others standing as well, the two teams headed out the lift, the Shadow Team pushed past the Bladebreakers to get out first almost knocking poor Kenny to the floor,
"Hey watch it" snapped Tyson, but the teen was ignored, the Bladebreakers stopped and watched the Shadow Team head down the hall towards the next flight of stairs that would take them up to floor sixteen.
The Bladebreakers then headed up to their room where they collapsed on their beds still feeling tied. After a long rest the youths went down for dinner before heading back up to go the bed at the end of the night.
A lot of yelling done in the elevator wouldn't you say, well no one was happy to be there, anyways please review and I'll update as soon as I can.
