3: Past and a Life of Two Sides
Disclaimer: (Yawn), you know what, I give up, I don't own Pokèmon, I don't own Dragonball Z, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, I don't own Dynasty Warriors and guess what…I DON'T own Beyblade. Well, you get the picture. I don't own diddily squat. I also have a feeling I don't own my freedom. Master: Slave come here. I was right.
To DarkMCat, I will thank you, you really don't know how great it is to get good reviews, I should have signed up to sooner! And thanks for the compliment; I'm glad someone on this planet like my stories (glares at Brother). It seems you're my only reviewer at the moment and knowing my luck probably ever. I'll keep writing anyway, it's my only way to get relaxed again from school and homework. There's only so much a girl can take. Anyway, thanks again. Once again this is for you. SSOTD.
''Why are you here? How did you find me?''
''I have my ways.''
''Well I wish you didn't.'' She sighed. ''I guess you want my hospitality right?'' She asked. Kai snorted.
''No I don't, I just want to know who you are.'' The girl sighed again.
''In that case, come in; make yourself at home or whatever real people are meant to say these days when their not at your throat or after your bit-beast.'' She said leading Kai into the room and closing the door behind him. He just stood by the door with crossed arms as she went and sat down on the bed.
She had changed her clothes since her defeat. She now wore dark blue baggy jeans that were tucked into some gold coloured boots with black clips to hold them in place. Around her waist on her brown belt was her rip cord and launched held by clips coming from the leather of the belt. She wore a purple three-quarter length top under a red leather jacket that was only t-shirt length and undone at the front. Her normal looking brown hair was streaked with blue lines that ran in perfect symmetry to the bun in which her shoulder length hair was held it. She had blue wispy bits covering her face and tucked behind her ears. Her face was soft yet the dark pure black eyes said that you shouldn't mess with her. Around her wrists were a pair of green sweat bands that she fiddled with nervously under Kai's gaze. (If you do know me then you're already going to know who this is, I should seriously change my characters ne.)
''Well, you came to ask questions so ask, but don't expect to get the truth or even an answer.''
''Who are you working for?'' Was Kai's quick response. The girl laughed.
''You make me sound like a criminal. No I work for no-one unless me myself is counted. My team is made entirely or me, myself and I.'' She said proudly. Her blade hummed in her pocket. She took it out and looked it over. ''And this here blade that is.'' But even with her confidence Kai didn't buy it totally.
''Where'd you get that blade from anyway?'' The girl sighed.
''My mother gave it to me; it was my sixth birthday present.'' She said solemnly. Noticing the sad expression that he gained from that question Kai pressed the matter.
''Where are they now?''
''Heaven I hope.'' The girl replied rubbing her thumb along the edge of her blade. ''Probably terrorising Tyson at the moment.''
''Tyson?''
''My brother, not your Tyson, well that was why I challenged him but my brother didn't have a Dragoon so my hopes dwindle still more.''
''You mean you thought Tyson might be your brother?'' Kai asked.
''Yep, I know my mother and father are dead but I'm not sure about my brother. So I'm going to find him, whether it takes me to the end of the world or into the darkest alleyways.'' She sighed then scowled at Kai. ''Now, it's my turn to ask the questions. How did you know I was here?''
''Simple. There are very few hotels around this part of the city. Most of which are incredibly expensive, you didn't look like you could afford that sort of hotel so I guess this was the one since it was out of the way of everybody else and cheaper.'' Kai said smirking. ''I simply asked the person at the desk and they said why did I want to see a person dressed in black who I didn't even know the name of, I explained that you had forgotten your blade after our previous match and I was here to give it to you, she bought it easily.''
''Fine, stupid reception lady, I'll kick her ass next time I see her for even letting you in without contacting me first.'' She sighed, she shouldn't act like that now, that was her other self. ''Why are you here?'' The girl asked
''To ask you something.''
''Go ahead then.''
''Is your name Kat?'' The girl paused before smirking.
''What gave you the idea of that?'' She asked.
''I once saw a girl by that name, she was very good at blading for her age, very good. Her mother and father were dead and she was out looking for her brother after running from the Orphanage that she was left at. She was blading for money and winning all the time. Her blade was very much like yours as was the way she bladed, silently. I have to admit but she was almost as good as me, and I was wondering whether you were that girl grown up?''
''Give me more info about her.'' The girl asked inquisitively.
''She had a voice like yours, maybe a little higher at the time; her hair was unmistakably like yours as was her black eyes. I have no doubts that it's you. Kat Triagon.''
''In that case you're that arrogant little dweeb that always seemed to be the only god damn person able to beat me with ease and then be even more arrogant towards me and even more annoyin…''
''I get the picture, you must really be that girl, she always thought that about me just to wined me up. Stupid kitty Kat.'' He said using her previous nickname.
''Kai Hiwatari. It really is you.'' The girl said smugly. (See I have done my research on Kai's name but he's the only guy I can be bother to do it for, ha)
''In that case if it is you then I want to know why you're on the run like this.'' Kai asked.
''I'm not on the run.'' The girl said determinedly.
''Then what's with all the black clothes and that sword.'' He said pointing to the sword sticking out from underneath the bed she sat on. The girl looked down at the black case of her sword and quickly kicked it deeper under the bed. She sighed.
''Err, Kai, I've changed ok. The only way I can survive is to well, use my skills to, um, do stuff that's kinda, wrong. I'm sixteen now and not the ten year old girl you once knew, I've grown up.'' She mumbled.
''What stuff?'' Kai asked ignoring her 'grown up' speech.
''I went to Russia one time, I must have been about ten, well, I was skint. One night I was caught by this group of men apparently out to kill me for the fun of it, this is when you were taken too. In payment for my freedom I had to work for them. Thus the Shadow was born, my new identity as an Assassin. And that's why I am really on the run. I kill people for money and their friends try and kill me for revenge. It's the only way I can live, it's harsh and dangerous but I must. To be honest I've given it up and ran from my job, I've become Kat Triagon again, but my employers and victims friends are still after the Killer Kat that hurt them, I can't escape them out in the open so I hide.''
''By the looks of that sword and what you just said, you're saying you're a Samurai Bandit?'' Kai asked. Kat nodded.
''Samurais are meant to protect the innocent, so I only kill those who have done bad, if they have not I turn down the job and go hungry and bed less.'' She admitted remembering the many times she's been ask to kill an innocent by her former master.
I never expected this. Kai thought.
'You can never expect the unexpected.' Dranzer replied.
''Err, Kai, are you ok?'' Kat asked waving her hand in front of the boys face. Kai snapped out of his daze to be met with the slightly smaller girl's puzzlement.
''Kai, you better go, I'm not dragging you into this.'' She said opening the door.
''I have a proposition for you.'' Kai said slyly.
''And what would that be?'' Kat asked pushing the door to close it again but finding that it didn't close completely, making a mental note to complain later she left it slightly ajar, crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him.
This is going to kill my pride. Kai cursed.
'Get it over and done with, you'll gain an old friend plus a good bit-beast, you know how strong he used to be and imagine what he would be like now.' Dranzer put in.
''What's Kai gonna ask, you got any ideas?'' Kat asked her beast.
'I'm just as clueless or even more so than you.' The beast joked.
''Hey.'' Kat complained out loud.
''What?'' Kai asked gruffly. Kat blushed.
''He's annoying me again.'' She said simply.
''Stupid mule.'' Kai said to Kat's beast that she still held in her hand.
'Hey, you stupid bugger, if only I could go and get you, I'd make you pay for my defeats, I'd…' Kat promptly squeezed her beyblade and the muttering and cursing in her mind stopped.
''Thanks Kai, he just blew a gasket again.'' She said gruffly. Kai smirked.
''That's what I do, now, look Kat, I was wondering, would you say, like to come and, be part of the team?'' He asked regretting ever word that left his lips.
''The Bladebreakers?'' Kat questioned. Kai nodded slightly.
Why am I saying this? He thought.
'Because she needs a home and you're willing to give her one. You'll become a great Team-leader because of this.' Dranzer said.
''I can't Kai.'' Kat said sadly.
''Why?'' He asked with a shocked voice covered up with hatred. I just suffered my pride and now she's turning me down. He thought enraged.
''Because of my other identity. It'll mean that people will come after me and then kill you guys afterwards.'' She sighed. ''I'd really like to but I can't, now could you please leave.'' Kai huffed.
''I will.'' And was already out of the room. The door still swung open from his leave. Kat sighed, her life was HELL.
Sighing she walked over to the open door and tried shutting it again. Looking at the walls surrounding it she found a black dart like piece of wood near the hinges. Her eyes flashed open and she looked around suddenly frightened.
''They're here.'' She said grabbing the dart and slamming the door shut and quickly locking it and putting the chain across for security. She turned round and sighed.
''For once you're right tots and this time you're not getting away.''
Kai walked silently past the desk again. The woman was busy doing her nails and looking at her face in a pocket mirror, (Even though I'm female I still don't know the proper name for those '/ ). Kai huffed at the stupidity of it. At the noise she looked up.
''You gave the Beyblade to Miss Triagon then?'' She asked pleasantly. Kai snorted again.
''Fine mister, you be like that.'' From her remark Kai gathered that she didn't care for people not paying the hotel and in turn paying her. He just grunted and walked out into the undercover area in front of the entrance door. Before him the rain was still pouring although the storm had long since gone again. As he groaned in annoyance on the fact that he had to walk all the way back to Tyson's dojo, where they were staying, in the pouring rain, he noticed a black capped figure standing near the front door.
Kai became suspicious by the way he looked. He was tall and was wearing and long black long sleeve coat and a pair of black gloves. The coat was undone at the front and showed black trousers and a black skin tight top. His face was covered in shadow by the hood of his coat but as he looked across at Kai with the same suspicion as the teen towards him and then Kai saw the large scar running along his cheek shown by the lights of the reception. In the man's hand Kai could swear he saw a silver barrel of a gun but it was quickly hidden.
''What ya looking at punk?'' The man asked grumpily and turned to him showing his scar further and glaring at Kai with his mysterious emerald eyes. Kai just grunted.
''I was just wondering why a black figure would be out in the pouring rain when everyone with sense is still indoors.'' Kai smirked as the man growled.
''My business here is not with you so scram kid.'' Kai was just about to oblige before he heard the yell and scream of terror from a girl in one of the floors above.
''It's with her.''
