rustyspoons: Here is the next chapter. Tala's just really troubled because he has feelings for Lyssa too. He also knows that she likes Kai. So he gets angry at Kai for taking Lyssa from him, and at Lyssa for liking Kai, even after he accidentally killed her brother, Dominic.

Before Kai could act, Tala had grabbed Lyssa and pulled her close to himself. Kai made another try at Black Dranzer. Tala cried out again and pulled Lyssa even closer. It was as if Tala was in a trance. Even when Kai shouted his name, Tala seemed not to hear him. Kai started toward Tala, arms raised against the small hurricane that Black Dranzer, Tala, and Lyssa were in the middle of.
"You better keep back, Kai." Tala said, "Or else I'll give Lyssa a very different kind of present." Tala took out a dagger that had come from nowhere. It was made of a strange material, and it glowed. He touched the point to Lyssa's arm and then made a long cut, to just beneath her wrist. She cried out.
"Lyssa!" Kai took another step forward, but so Tala wouldn't notice. Someone did notice, however.
I wouldn't do that, Kai. Not if you value their lives. Black Dranzer hissed in his mind.
Without really thinking about it, Kai knew what he had to do. He had to dismantle the beyblade. He reached down a hand and grabbed Black Dranzer. The quickly moving air sliced his skin. He brought Black Dranzer to his chest. Kai cried out.
The black beyblade's bitbeast was overpowering him. The pressure on his mind and body was astonishingly strong. Kai could hardly think or breath. It felt as though he was going to have a heart attack. kai grabbed the bitchip and yanked it off the beyblade. Then he threw it across the room with all his might.
Wounds across his shoulders and back, arms and chest, ripped open. Kai nearly passed out from the tremendous amount of pain.
Blood dripped out of all the wounds, even the small scratches on his face. Kai struggled to take off the attack ring. It
was all he could do to save Lyssa and Tala. The few people he actually cared about.
Tala snapped out of his trance. The dagger had long since faded, as had the hurricane. Letting Lyssa stand on her own, Tala's anger at her and Kai faded. He saw Kai struggling to take apart Black Dranzer. Tala realized it was as much his burden as it was Kai's. He went over and locked his own hands on the beyblade, feeling the pressure on his mind as well.
Kai saw scars on Tala he had never seen before. Now, they opened up, just as Kai's had. Suddenly, Lyssa appeared between them. She also had many bloody wounds, though not as many as Tala or Kai. Lyssa didn't think about anything, except that they had to get rid of Black Dranzer. Her hands went on top of both the boys', who felt strength emanating from her.
Blood covered the beyblade, and they slowly popped the attack ring off. The weight disk came shortly after it. Then the rest of the beyblade fell to the floor, and the bitbeast's presence left them. The three dropped their arms in unison. Kai fell over, but Lyssa caught him before he hit the gray stone floor. Tala was leaning against one of the matching walls.
As they left the room dark, bloodied, and quiet, it was the three of them. Lyssa carried Kai in her arms, and Tala had slung an arm over her shoulder. They walked through the dark hallways of the Abbey, until they came to an open back door. Then they were out in the night. They went to a nearby hospital (which hadn't really been nearby, as the sun was rising upon their arrival). They collapsed and were immediately taken into the care of doctors and nurses.
They were separated, but in the same hospital.
They were together again.

Blood Bonds
Blood flows through our veins.
The liquid of life.
Blood
Bonds us to this earth.
Blood
Bonds those we love and care about
To ourselves.
Blood bonds
can never be broken.
The strongest promise of all
Is a
Blood bond.

I hope that was good enough for you all. For some reason, being on summer vacation doesn't give me that much time or energy to write. I feel tired, so I just want to be lazy. :P Chapter eight will be along shortly, so please, read and review until then!
