Meeting You

Chapter 7: Intimidating Injuries

Disclaimer: Don't own Beyblade.

Here's Chapter 7 enjoy!

The gang walked down the street in New York it had been nearly 2 weeks since their last battle in the Preliminaries in the tournament. They decided they needed a break after all the next round would be on November 1st anyways. "Finally some peace and quiet." Tyson said placing his hands behind his head.

"Tyson! We've been relaxing for the last two weeks!" Hilary exclaimed. "Now just hold it Hilary! This is gonna be our last trip to New York before the tournament and I want to make the most of it now let's eat I'm hungry!" he moaned. "What about there? It's perfect!" said Ray pointing to the spot near the pond.

Nami had headphones over her ears with the walkman clipped to her belt hook ignoring everyone as usual looking towards where Ray was pointing it was like they were mimes. She snickered at the thought. "What's so funny?" Kai asked her in monotone. "Mimes," she said as a smirk appeared on her face. "Whatever." Kai muttered resuming towards his usual careless position.

Everyone walked towards the tree next to the pond and Hilary placed a blanket they all sat down and she started pulling things out of the basket. Kai was sitting next to Nami in his terms 'unfortunately'. He could hear fragments of the song Nami was listening to. It was Sweet Misery by Michelle Branch. She had her eyes closed and a small smile on her face. A breeze lifted her hair letting the loose strands flutter.

Finally she opened her eyes and took a sandwich and jumped into the tree and sat down on the branch with her back against the tree. After awhile they were all doing something. Tyson and Max were sitting by the pond in deep conversation over their favorite type of candy. Hilary and Ray were talking with Kenny who was typing away as usual on Dizzi.

Kai was a bit further away lying in the grass his eyes closed with a grass stem in his mouth. (A/n: In Grevolution pic...drool...winks.) Nami was still in the tree of course until a tremendous bump into the tree threw her off. She took a sharp gasp air in and quickly and grabbed the branch. Everyone whirled around and Kai opened his eyes and spat out the blade of grass.

They all saw Iris looking up at Nami with a grin. Nami flipped over and jumped in a crouched position before inclining to full height standing up. "Iris..." she hissed, "What the hell do you want?!" "Well you very well know..." Iris said looking at her fingernails in interest.

"Iris, get you're freaking blade out and settle this properly!" Nami snarled. "Aww isn't that cute whittle Nami has come to play!" Iris said in a mocking voice, "Hey shouldn't I call you by your real name? Nami isn't your real name right so what do you prefer?" "Nami's just fine." Nami said through gritted teeth, "That name wasn't my name! It was my mom's real name."

"Alright, just hurry up you're wasting my time!" Iris yelled. "3-2-1 Let It RIP!" They both yelled at the same time launching their blades. The blades started spinning in an orbit rotation and then Nami let slip an attack slamming into Iris's beyblade head-on sending it long. "Is that all the crap you've got?!" Nami yelled.

Hilary made a comment on how Nami had to control her language. Ray and Tyson snickered. Nami murmured some cuss words in a different language when Iris hit her by surprise. "What's she saying?" Hilary asked. It was Kai's turn to snicker. "Don't tell me you haven't learnt Japanese." he said smirking. Hilary turned red. "I have...it's just I've been speaking to much English!" Hilary exclaimed. "Whatever." Kai said turning towards the battle.

Tyson, Ray and Max laughed. "Now NEPTUNE knock her out!" Nami yelled. They hit head on once more but Iris was ready. "Phinieus Coil!" Iris yelled. Then a force so hard threw the blades back and Nami's hair ribbon slipped off and flew off into the pond. Nami felt dizziness hit her immediately she used too much power. Her hair was let loose settling on her back. Nami's eyes rolled back and she collapsed.

She didn't notice Iris speaking. "Weakling." Iris said, "Now to take care of you guys. Starting with Mr. Cutie over there." Iris pointed to Kai. "I'd like to see you try plus, don't call me cute." Kai said smirking. "Whatever." Iris said. Kai ignored her and lifted Nami up easily. "Are you sure you want to carry her Kai? I mean I could..." said Ray blushing.

"I'm fine," said Kai in monotone. "No really..." Ray said reaching for her. "Fine you want to carry her you're welcome too." Kai said dropping her into Ray's arms which he felt crack immediately. "Too heavy for you isn't she?" Kai said smirking, "You need to lift weights, you're weak." Kai simply lifted her out of Ray's arms once more and started down the street.

"Oh I don't think so." said Iris, "You're not getting away that easily." A bunch more people came out. "Alright, you want to fight rough?" Tyson asked challengingly. "Put the girl down and fight." said Iris ignoring Tyson and referring to Kai. "Fine, but I'm warning you." Kai said as he placed Nami on a bench.

Nami rubbed her head as she got up to find herself in a completely white room. She gave it a disgusted look she hated hospitals. She remembered what happened and shot up to meet the looks of everyone looking. She saw one by one. Tyson had white bandages wrapped around his ankle and a few cuts and bruises on his face, Ray had cuts as well and a bandage around his arm.

Kai had a bandage around his left wrist, a cut on his face which was pretty deep and a bandage rolled around his right shoulder to above his elbow, so far the worst damage was done to him. Max had a half healed black eye and a splint around his pinkie. Kenny had a small bruise on his shin and Hilary looked as if she had run too much.

"So you're finally up." said Tyson tapping his fingers on the chair impatiently. "What happened to you guys?" she demanded not showing the worry inside her. "Well you could say that wench had back ups." said Ray angrily. "Did any of you get cut with a knife?" she asked suddenly a hint of worry creeping into her silver eyes. Kai nodded silently.

She got out of the bed and went to him. "Where?" she demanded. Kai pointed to his face. Nami moved close enough to his face so that they were about 4 inches apart Kai felt strands of her open hair slip on his arm. He repressed a shudder since it was so soft and silky. Nami did not notice she reached out and gently touched the wound with her finger. She looked at the blood studying the texture on her finger before her hand dropped to her side and her eyes replaced with a look of horror and blankness.

"Poison..." she whispered softly, "You've been poisoned." She ran out of the room to the desk. Everyone watched Kai staring. Suddenly they heard shouting and looked out of the door. Nami was yelling at a man. "Listen girl we can't do anything the doctors have finished their work!" The man yelled. "Then get someone else! He could die by tomorrow for all we know!" she yelled back.

"You don't know anything about medicine you just want to stir more trouble!" The man shouted. "I do, do I?" Nami questioned dangerously, "Listen here I could just go to the head about your behavior and if you are a doctor you have failed in duty to a patient!" Nami yelled. "Fine you talked me in to it!" The man said. "Shut up and get on with it!" she said impatiently.

"You check the cut on the boy's face." said the man pointing to two doctors walking by but then turned to Nami, "Why do you want anything to do with him anyway you two aren't related." "I care for him for your information and if you must know he's a friend of mine now mind your own fucking business." she hissed dangerously as she stalked off.

When she entered the room Kai was behind the curtain where they could see shadows off the doctors cleaning his face. Nami ignored the stares directed towards her. Then Kai came out by moving around the doctors to check the cut once more he dodged them and sat down. Then a nurse came in with a shot and looked directly at Nami.

Nami's mouth went dry. Shots could hold any liquid any time she hated them for all she knew she could be contaminated with a poisoned fluid. Then nurse held the shot an inch away from her shoulder. Nami's eyes did not leave it once she shut her eyes and slapped it away where it shattered on the floor.

Everyone stared at her. "Excuse me young lady!" the nurse said angrily. She lifted another shot. "Get that thing away from me." Nami hissed as she slapped it again but the nurse held on. Nami shoved her away and ran out of the room forgetting she was wearing socks. Kai ran after her.

She suddenly slipped and felt herself hurled towards the doors and shut her eyes waiting to slam into them. Nothing happened she was against something warm and it held her tight. She struggled to get away before the person forced her head up with a hand. "Calm down," Kai said. "Let go of me." she hissed. "You're afraid of shots?" Kai asked amused.

"You don't know what shots can do to a person." she hissed looking at him in the eye, "There disgusting and..." Nami stopped his auburn eyes locked with hers. She drowned in them feeling herself going hazy her eyelids drooped lazily over her silver orbs and she started to sink in his arms. Kai smirked he knew the effect he had on girls, any of them, even ones as serious as Nami.

This was enough Kai shook her gently. "What do you want?" she asked drowsily staring into the crimson pools. Suddenly she seemed to regain consciousness and snapped out of it and tried to shove him away. He held her tighter and started pushing the strands of her hair out of her face one by one. "You let your guard down." he said smirking. "Wha-what...are you..d.doing?" she stuttered.

"Intimidating you..." he said quietly as his smirk grew when he saw her eyes widen. He started caressing her cheek making her eyes widen a bit more and started to trace the purple triangles on her face. She stiffened. No one had ever done this to her. He had caught her. His smirk grew even wider as her cheeks started to get filled in with a pinkish color. She was starting to crack and freaked out as his lips brushed her earlobe and move to her neck.

She tried to push him away even harder but gasped as he hit a soft spot. Then to her savior... "What are you two doing?" asked a nurse with her hands on her hips. Nami got the chance to shove him away and run to the room and grab her shoes and take off again. Kai smirked. "Nothing." he said and walked to the room where he found Nami running out with her cheeks red and pulling on each shoe as she ran.

He walked in still smirking when everyone looked at him curiously. Ray was snickering he understood what was going on from Kai's smirk to Nami's flushed face. Everyone looked at him curiously wondering what was going on. "Ray?" Hilary demanded. "Kai...." he started sniggering, "cornered her...I guess you could say." Hilary didn't understand neither did anyone else. "Nothing." Kai said still smirking as he left. It had started to rain as they left...
