"Do you understand?" Boris asked.
Boris had come in and began to tell Nami the plan of capturing Dranzer. He tried to coax her in to becoming more powerful. Nami grinned and nodded.
"Yes sir!" Nami said cheerfully before saluting. "Good girl, now you are dismissed." Boris said impatiently waving his hand before walking out of the room.
Kai snuck out without a word, Dr. Miyazuki had left about 5 minutes ago. He sighed mentally. This fever wasn't going to allow him to do anything.
Suddenly he saw strands of lavender hair dart down the hall. "Nami?" Kai thought immediately.
"Oy! COME BACK HERE YOU WENCH!" Ian howled as he ran after her. After Tala had decided the pairs and told Boris the plans he immediately ran after her yelling a surprising amount of threats.
"You gotta catch me first, midget freak! I doubt you could even come close!" Nami said with a smirk. Kai's eyes widened.
"She looks way too healthy for this to be normal…they would've beaten her to no end…something isn't right. They may have disguised the wounds." Kai thought.
Suddenly Nami tripped and winced, the wound on her stomach had split open. She stopped and leaned on the wall to rest and placed a hand tightly over the affected area.
Ian didn't notice that she had stopped and kept on running down the hallway. "Nami?" Kai whispered.
"What?" Nami asked looking up with no enthusiasm, she just winced horribly.
"What have they done to you?" Kai breathed.
Kai realized that when he got closer to her, he saw that her hair had become less shiny and hung limply in the ponytail, she had gotten way too thin from lack of food, and her eyes scared him more than anything he had seen before on her.
Her eyes looked as if they were empty, the silver shine on it had died and faded, now a deep dark aura littered her orbs and her pupils had narrowed and turned in to a grayish black color. Her eyes were no longer filled with care, amusement, and mischief it had once contained.
Then he noticed that she had two fangs produced from the top of her mouth carefully touching her lower lip and that her neck was more set back and she stood straight unlike her normal slouch that said 'I don't give the hell! I'm a teenager!' he knew that she had been given the dark bit beast.
"Who are you? Oh wait you're the famous Kai Hiwatari, correct? Well just so you know I…" Nami started. She was caught by his eyes, locking with her own.
"I…I can't…Kai?" Nami whispered before placing a hand on her head, her eyes rolled up and she fell, unconscious. The intensity of his mahogany eyes stirred something in her mind. Chunks of her memories flooded her like a ruined screen playing in her head.
Kai stared in confusion and worry as he held her in his arms. "Why did she faint? Damn it, I'm going to murder Boris for this." He thought as he cradled her petite form, "I wish I could help you…you just don't know how much…I care…"
"Kai?" Tala asked in confusion as he stared out at the two toned haired boy who was desperately holding on to Nami as if he hadn't seen her forever.
"Tala, can you help me? Nami just collapsed for some reason. Where have you been!" Kai exclaimed.
"We have to talk. Come on, I'll explain." Tala said.
"Where the hell is Kai? He was in here a few minutes ago!" Ray exclaimed. "We have to find him, he is in no condition to be out like this." Dr. Miyazuki said seriously. "Where could he have gone?" Tyson asked.
"You should've seen her, Kai; she looked so fragile as if she might've broken if I touched her. There was blood everywhere!" Tala said.
Kai was sitting on the bed in Nami's room and Nami's head was on his lap, the rest of her body was stretched out on the bed. Kai was staring at Tala with a mixture of horror and anger.
Then Nami started to stir. "Damn it; don't talk about me like I was some weak piece of shit." Nami mumbled.
Kai realized that the others were probably looking for him. "Look I have to go." Kai said. "…Kai?" Tala said.
"Yeah?" Kai said. "Don't worry, she'll get her memories back." Tala said confidently.
"Thanks Tala." Kai whispered before letting go of a lavender strand of Nami's hair he had been caressing, he touched her cheek one last time letting his fingers stray over the one purple triangle on her right cheek. He lowered his head so he could whisper to Nami.
He gently unlatched Nami's arm which had some how managed to creep around him and layed her down on a pillow substitute for his lap. He saw Nami shiver at the loss of warmth as she clutched the pillow. Tala watched sadly. The red haired teen saw what Kai felt for the lavender haired girl.
Nami's POV
What is that scent? It seems…so familiar…autumn and cinnamon… (A/n-sighs dreamily- I can die now…LOL!)
My eyes fluttered open and I saw someone's hand gently stroking my hair as it had fallen in to my face. The hand had some small calluses along the palm which was covered with a black fingerless glove.
This person…has been through a lot…too much…faint marks are on his wrists. A bit red from irritation of launching over and over. He Beyblades…
I felt the hand gently push my hair away as my ear captures muffled whispers. I shut my eyes quickly. He caresses my cheek…gently stroking his thumb over the triangle paint.
"I'll be back…I'm sorry…" he whispers in to my ear. I want to cry out and tell him not to leave me here. His warmth disappears and the faint autumn scent lingers in the air telling me he was there just a moment ago.
"Kai…" I whisper but he had already left.
Normal POV
Nami slowly rolled over and stood up placing a hand on her stomach where her cut hand opened as she winced. Pain throbbed throughout her already aching body. Tala stood up and went to help her.
"Are you okay? You completely passed…" Tala started.
"Kai was here." Nami said softly. "How d'you…" Tala started before he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
He gave Nami a look of curiosity before opening the door.
"Get ready for your match, girl. You will and must capture Kai's bit beast you understand!" Boris asked shoving Tala out of the way and grabbing her wrist tightly.
"Is he pissed or what?" Nami thought before nodding and wincing at the same time.
"You will be punished if anything goes wrong, my dear, and trust me, you won't like it at all." Boris shoved her away and stalked out of the room.
Nami looked at Tala with a grim look on her face.
"Come on. Kai and you are first." Tala said barely above a whisper.
