2: Unknown Stays Silent
Disclaimer: You know the drill, I only own Wolborg, not the whole population of Wolborg on T.V, just my one blade and a few beydishes other than that I'm skint of Beyblade stuff.
Thanks to DarkMCat, my first ever review. Ever! I'm glad you like it, and here's the next Chap dedicated to you. Enjoy. SSOTS. (Shadow Samurai of the Shadows).
''Who are you?'' All it received was a snort.
''Fine be like that.'' The shadow turned back to watching the rain, its silver blade still clenched in its fist. It watched as another lightening fork streaked across the sky down towards the city floor. The figure flinched slightly and shuddered. One of the few things that scared it was storms and, unluckily, a lot of them had been happening lately around the city. It was some freak weather they were having or something. No-one knew why.
''Don't tell me you're scared.'' The figure in the shadows behind it asked walking forward to stand beside it. It was revealed to be a he and had crossed his arms. His two tone blue and grey hair was unique to him as were the blue triangles on his face. He wore blue baggy jeans, and a black tank top with red studded material around the arms. Around his neck was a white scarf that flowed down to his mid leg behind him. On his arms he wore red fingerless gloves that went around his middle finger with metal shields attached to them near his elbow and on his feet were a pair of black and red trainers. His name was Kai.
The Unknown Shadow just glared at him. More like scarred, ''So what if I am.'' It argued in its own defence.
''A Blader with almost enough skill to defeat the dimwit is scared of a simple storm?'' Kai almost chuckled at the stupidity of it.
''I have my reasons.'' The Shadow replied gruffly. In its hand it felt its silver blade start to buzz in frustration for its master. The Shadow smiled before releasing the blade and dropping it to the floor. It stayed still for a second or two on the concrete before suddenly bursting to life and spinning furiously on the spot before bursting around its master's feet defensively. The Unknown Shadow chuckled and blocked its rampage of protection with a boot, the blade immediately pulled up and glowed silver a bit.
'Why'd you do that for?' The blade asked.
''Because it's fun, besides the questioning one looks confused.'' It smirked and looked across at Kai as the blade started to circle its feet again.
''How did you do that then Shadow?'' He asked in bewilderment although he quickly covered it with a scowl again.
''Dunno.'' The Shadow replied. It lifted its hand with palm down to its hip. ''Up.'' It signalled and the blade did a final circle gathering more speed before launching into its masters hand. Shadow closed its palm and held the blade tight when it lowered its arm to its side again.
''You stretched your legs enough yet boy.'' Shadow asked in the blades mind.
'Enough for today anyway.' The bit-beast replied mock yawning.
''You can take on Tyson but don't now how you do that?'' Kai questioned. The Shadow raised and eyebrow as another fork of lightening streaked across the skies above them, making its features more visible for a second and its body tense again. It relaxed once the thunder and lightening had gone again.
''What's with all the questions?'' The Shadow asked playfully.
''I'm trying to figure out my enemy.''
''In that case try the dark alleyways around this time of night. You'll make loads of enemies in them, I am not the worst.'' It said, sighing after its statement.
''And how would you know that?''
''Because I live in them.''
'Tell him your name at least.'
''Why?''
'You need friends nowadays. You're lonely, I can tell. Oh the bother of being connected, it's rubbing off on me you know.'
''So my bit-beast is now treating me like my father, forget it. If they earn my trust then I may reconsider but I wont be around long enough for them to do that will I, even if I do have a faint memory of this one? Maybe it's just fluke?'' The Blader heard footsteps from behind the entrance door to the stadium. Kai had already looked around and then dismissed the fact that his team was coming and simply looked back over to the Shadow. The Shadow looked out at the rain; it was pouring still and the lightening still streaking the sky. But it wouldn't be seen by the Bladebreakers again. It must go.
Shadow sighed before turning to Kai again, ''Tell your friend that next time we meet I won't be beaten.'' And with that it ran off the steps and into the pouring rain. Kai watched as it went, the black leather clad person that had just lost to his team. He sighed, so much for getting anything out of it that would have helped.
''Stupid rain.'' The figure cursed as it ran full pelt through the empty streets. It was late afternoon but because of the clouds above it seemed like the middle of the night. The rain was still pelting down on the roads and everybody who dared the outside in the storm. And that was the Unknown Shadow.
'Hey, no worries, were almost there anyway, I can sense the warmth of the room.' The bit-beast, still clenched in its hand, comforted its master.
''Your not the one running through a storm that scares the hell out of you are you?'' The Blader yelled out loud. Just to prove the point another roll of thunder boomed through the skies and lightening forks roamed free again.
''Argh.'' The Shadow jumped in fright. ''I swear I'm going to give myself a heart attack by doing that one day.'' It panted. It looked around and saw the hotel it was staying at. It wasn't exactly five star but it wasn't run down either. The hotel sign still flashed in the darkness illuminating the shadow's room above it as Shadow entered the swinging doors and shook the water from the coat it wore. It walked up to the hotel desk and was met with the inevitable question of...
''Hello again, can I ask for your room number and name?''
''Hi again Kai, why were you out here in the cold?'' Tyson asked. Kai just 'hmphed' and looked out at the pouring rain.
''Why did you leave Kai, we found something out about that Shadow's blade.'' Max asked.
''I already know, and even the Shadow doesn't know how it's done. It just works when needed apparently.'' Kai explained.
''So you were out here talking to Shadow? Got anything new?'' Ray asked. Kai shock his head and snorted.
''That person is more secretive than a criminal, something's wrong with Shadow as well as its blade.'' He said before walking forward into the rain.
''Where are you going Kai?'' Tyson asked, still standing under the shelter.
''To find out who this Shadow really is, I know where their staying.'' He said and walked away in the pouring rain. I also think I know who they are, if I'm right she sure has changed.
''How does he know that if Shadow didn't give anything away?'' Tyson asked.
''He could have guessed, Tyson.'' Kenny put in.
''It would be so much easier if we knew this persons actual name.'' Ray said watching Kai walk away.
''That's better.'' She said pulling on her top again and then picking up her jacket and putting that on top. All the while her beyblade whizzed around her feet, glowing silver as it went.
''I thought you made out you were tired.'' The Blader asked sitting down in front of the mirror and pinning up her hair again.
'I make out a lot of things.' Replied the beast.
''S'pose.'' The female said tying her hair up and then standing back up and walking over to the window to see the rain still pouring down. Another lightening fork streaked near the edge of the city and she flinched. ''I seriously need to get my phobia sorted out.'' She muttered.
'And your blading, you haven't trained in ages.' The beast said moving over to whiz around its master feet again.
''It's not my fault you know, its hard living the way I do. I'm lucky I got this accommodation for these few days. It's nice to finally have a proper hot shower and a comfy bed, then again anything's better compared to the freezing lakes and rivers and of course the lovely benches or trees. I swear I get a new bruise every time I try and sort out a bed.'' She sighed. Out of the window, that was streaked with rain drops and made the view blurry and mostly un-see-able through, she looked. She saw nothing but miles of black sky and dark city. In the distance the lightening struck again and she could swear that she saw a flash of light afterwards that was a red, orange and yellow. Fire!
'You have a good reason to be afraid though.' The beast said softly in her head. The girl's eyes watered slightly as she turned and sighed.
''I know I do.'' She replied and flopped down on the bed. She looked across at the alarm clock that came with the deal of hiring out the room and found it only to be…
''Jeez, it's only 7 o'clock.'' She muttered.
'That gives you time to practise then.' The bit-beast said excitedly.
''I don't think so mister.'' The girl said reached down and grabbed the buzzing blade. It stopped immediately at her touch as she picked it up and held it close to her face.
''I don't see a beydish anywhere or anyone to practise against, do you? That rules out that then.'' She sighed and placed the blade on her stomach as she lay on the bed on her back with her arms behind her head. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. The girl glanced at the door before placing her blade in her pocket and getting up.
''Who is it?'' She called.
''Room service.'' The girl sighed. Good, no one after her or not one of those stupid Bladebreakers that she had just been seen by. If it was either of them she was toast. She got up and walked over to the door and unlocked the chain and then the lock. Opening the door she suddenly thought…
I didn't ask for Room service. She though raising an eyebrow. Opening the door she noticed the familiar glare and clothes and hair that she had been talking to some half an hour ago
''Why are you here? How did you find me?''
''I have my ways.''
