7: Survival

Hey people/person, for once I've got nothing else to say.

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade, I don't own Beyblade, oh, and did I tell you, I don't own beyblade.

Kat: The authors an idiot.

Kai: I'll drink to that.

Kat: (Grabs bucket of not so icy cold water, but still incredibly cold even though its been standing doing nothing for 3 episodes, and throw it down Kai's throat but she still remains grumpy)

Kai: Arrrrggghhhh. Cold, cold, cold, cold. (Runs round trying to warm up).

Kat: (Grabs hold of Kai and he freezes into a solid block of ice).

Kai: (Teeth chattering and face and lips blue). Why did you do that?

Kat: I'm in a cold mood and besides, you did say you would drink to it. Also, I don't want to want to prank the Author anymore and that water looked incredibly lonely.

Kai: Why don't you want to prank Emma?

Kat: I have my reasons. (Walks away counting a wad of cash with a note saying bribe from the author on it).

Emma: (Laughing head off and pointing at Kai who is now turning red with anger and the ice is beginning to melt around him).

Yeah, I'd just like to say. (Clear throat). IT'S HALF TERM HOLIDAYS! WAHOO. (Look sheepish and clear throat again). Anyway, hope your liking the story and thanks again to DarkMCAT. This ones yours.

Suddenly there was a gun shot and then more that were fired up into the air at the big Unicorn.

''Oh, and Kai is it, I forgot to tell you that because of you being so dismissive of the idea of riding me, the enemy were getting close. Now when I say hold on tight, I mean really hold on tight.'' And with that the Unicorn threw back its head and sent out a piercing scream meant to scare the enemy who kept on firing regardless, before shooting forward and going into a series of spins, loops and a general roller coaster ride.

Kai's POV.

What the hell is happening to me, I'm riding on a spirit that is the bit-beast of Kat. Kat herself is bleeding to death and at the present time is unconscious. I don't even know whether I'm meant to let her lose consciousness or not but I doesn't matter. I can't even think straight anymore. I'm a few hundred feet in the air, getting fired at by about 20 guns shooting every second and I have no safety straps or anything to stop me from falling from this beast. Everything's against me. And I have never been a fan of roller coasters and to make matters worse…this one if for my life!

End Kai's POV.

The ride wasn't a smooth one; the beast jerked and swerved from bullets as well as tried to outwit them long enough for him to get away. If it wasn't for the weight on his back he could have already got away but he had to protect his master and her friend.

He pulled up suddenly as a bullet flashed past his face a centimetre away and reared in mid flight. Kai gripped hold of his mane tightly and wrapped his arms around Kat as he gripped with two hands to the Unicorns mane. The teen was so preoccupied with supporting himself and Kat that he didn't notice the fact that the girl he was trying to support was waking slightly.

Kat's POV.

Where am I? I looked around though half lidded eyes. Suddenly they open fully in surprise. Flippin' hell, I'm in the air but that only means one thing. I looked forward to see my beast's face. I start growling before sitting up straight then gasping but bared the intense pain that was coming from my left side. I feel myself push something else back as it immediately grabs hold of my jacket from behind as it tried to support itself. I looked behind to see Kai.

''You're awake, but I didn't think th…''

''You think wrong Kai.'' I say coldly. His caring expression changed back to a hard one. Who cares, I can save myself even with injury. I used to work for an assassination squad didn't I! He just growls at me but continues to grip at my jacket. He doesn't really have a choice in what he does. We have limited space on this Unicorn of mine to sit so he has to unless he wants to fall to his death. I just smirk in satisfaction at the fact that he has to put up with me now.

Now, my Unicorn, you're not meant to be out.

End Kat's POV.

Kat kicked the beast that she rode hard in the ribs. The beast just snorted before continuing to duck and dive.

''Why are you out?'' She asked although gruffly so she did get an answer.

''I'm saving your scrawny behind.'' The Unicorn returned harshly, Kat was acting strange again; her tone of voice proved that and the fact that if she was normal she would be in greater pain than she seemed now. Kat just snorted.

''Then hurry up.'' She said suddenly realising the amount of pain she was in to move. She glanced down at her side and her eyes glazed over. They had done this to her. She looked down at the forest cover below her. It wasn't that far, only about 100 feet. She could make it, she had to show them what she could do or what they shouldn't have done to her. She growled before leaning over to jump.

''Kat stop doing that to me.'' The Unicorn said blocking a bullet with its metal wing amour and making it harmlessly bounce away as more gun shots rang out. He blocked her path with his wing.

''Hold on guys, I'm going now.'' He said before rearing up and then going into a mad burst of twists, rolls and loops, ducking and diving as bullets were aimed at his big form left, right and centre.

Kat just grabbed hold of his mane and Kai just grabbed hold of Kat. The wind rushed past them, bullets rushed past them, as they left the bandits behind in the wind.

''Land.''

''No.''

''Why?''

''Were almost there.''

''But I want to go back and kill them for what they've done.''

''Well you're not so shut up.'' Kai had watched them fight for the last few minutes as the Unicorn soared leisurely through the sky. Its long wings outstretched beating the air every few seconds and its legs dangling as if it was jumping; every now and then they were clench tighter and then relax again.

''Why are you two even arguing over such pitiful thing anyway?'' Kai asked folding his arms after the Unicorn had brought silence once more.

''QUIET YOU.'' The Unicorn and its master both yelled back at him. Kai abruptly withdrew his complaint and everyone sat in silence, or in the beast's case flew in silence, for a minute or two as they neared the city once more. The beast sighed. She was now calm enough to be told. He could trust the one called Kai too.

''Kat, you almost went Loco earlier.'' He said quietly.

''What.'' Kat said desperately. In her shock the Pain engulfed her again. She gasped slightly and cringed and grabbed at her side again.

''What?'' Kai asked in totally confusion.

''I'll explain later.'' Kat said quietly.

''You said that earlier.'' Kai pressed. Kat sighed.

''Land and heal me, we're getting too close to the city and I'm losing a lot of blood.'' This time the Unicorn obeyed her order.

They had landed some minutes ago now. They were still in the forest but on the outskirts and far away from the road. The gunmen would be miles away now. Kat's beast had already done his healing on them both and on Kat's command had returned to his spirit form and gone back to his blade to rest and remain unseen. He was worn out from using his magic to heal both the teens wounds anyway.

''How do you do that?'' Kai asked.

''Simple, he touches a wound with his horn, shield on or off, and then his magic is used to fuse everything back together on the wound thus it is healed and no scar remains.'' Kat explained. ''He couldn't do it earlier because he heard someone coming when he stopped running with me through the forest after I was shot. That someone was you but because he didn't know you he thought it best he wasn't seen. And after that I was unconscious and he needs my energy to do anything that your blade cannot do.'' She walked up to a near by tree and before Kai could stop her was already bounding up along the branches until she was covered by the leaves completely from his view. He went to stand underneath the tree and saw Kat sitting on a branch halfway up with one leg dangling from the branch on which she sat and the other with her arms wrapped around it and chin resting on it. She still carried all her bags and sword although one of her guns and her pen knife were still carried by Kai.

''I suppose you want to know what my bit-beast meant by 'loco' don't you?'' She asked keeping her gaze on the stars above her that she could see through the leaves on the tree in which she was hiding. Kai nodded below her and made a grab for the branch near the ground to climb up. Kat said nothing until he had scrambled to the branch next to the one she sat on.

''Why wasn't your bit-beast allowed to tell me his name?'' Kai asked.

''I prefer to keep it secret, as I said before, if anyone who knew of him heard of him now, they would all be after me. He is meant to be gone, destroyed many years ago, way before my time and that is why I know little to nothing of him, but he still lives with me.''

''So you're hiding him?'' Kai asked. Kat just nodded and sighed again.

''What did he mean by 'loco' then?'' Kai asked knowing that it could be translated to mean crazy. Kat did seem a bit off back when they were flying but that could have just been because she was angry or scared.

''It is a great honour to be able to have a bit-beast like him, to be able to use him is an even greater one. As I explained in brief before, he was created by my family. They were witches, as I told you before, but witch is not what I am. Witches are evil, as many people think or thought, but I am not totally evil. Even though I am a descendent of a group of witches I am not one of them, only part of me is. That's what loco means, it's our way of saying I've turned witch but without full magic as it has all but a bit been drained and put into him. When I turn Loco, I am unstoppable, like a crazy freak that cares nothing of death or pain but only survival. It's usually set off by great fear, pain or anger. And at that time I was in great pain and angry over what they did to me.'' Kat sighed again.

''For future referenced, don't get me too angry, don't hurt me too badly and don't scare me that much either, if you do, run. Most of my enemies end up dead! That's why they call me Killer Kat.''

''So you have two sides?'' Kai asked. Kat nodded solemnly. She looked back at the sky to see the sun rising over the horizon. She then realised how tired she was.

''Why does your bit-beast have no weakness then?'' Kai kept on with the questions that she had never answer to him. They had known each other little over a few weeks back then, that's how long she had been in the same city and how long he remained on the run from his grandfather before they both had to go their separate ways. Hers into the shadows and his back to the abbey and torture. She didn't answer.

''You better get going, your friends must be wondering where you are by now?'' Kat said forcing down a yawn and stretching her leg that hung down from the branch. Kai nodded, even though frowning after not getting an answer, and began to climb back down the tree. He paused halfway down to find Kat not following.

''Aren't you coming?'' He asked. Kat shock her head and looked down at Kai. She looked into his brown eyes but was only asked the question again and again. 'Are you coming with me? Are you coming with me? Are you coming with me?'

''No Kai, now you know what I can do and about him I can't, I'm too dangerous, well the people that will follow me are.''

''No your not and nor are they, we've had to put up with worse, me especially.'' Kat looked at him questionably before starting to slowly climbing down the tree as he did to. When they reached the ground Kat turned to him.

''Care to tell?'' Kai just grunted.

''I'd rather not; you're not revealing anything so I'm not either.'' Kat nodded.

''Fine then, I'm going to have to come so I can work on getting my answers now as well as you getting yours.'' Kai smirked.

''That is if you can.'' He said arrogantly. Kat smirked.

''I have my ways.'' She turned and looked back up at the sky. ''If I'm allowed to stay where you are staying then I'll come, if anything has to be drastically changed to suit me then I'll leave. Deal.'' She turned back to Kai and stuck out her hand. Kai shook it and nodded.

''I'm team leader; I'll make sure everything is changed. We need another good back up Blader to practise against and maybe if you let that bit-beast of yours out I'll get more of a work out than with Tyson.'' He said smugly.

''If you want a good work out you've come to the right person. Sync me up and you'll wish you hadn't.'' And with that they started to walk from the forest gloating on how good each one was against the other. A black cloaked figure moved in the trees behind them walking back into the forest…

(Oh yeah, cliffy, what's gonna happen? I'm open to bribes…which come in the way as reviews…or money if you really like. )
