8: Power and Curse
Hiya people.
Disclaimer: Don't own Beyblade although I've gained back my freedom, after I bribed Kat I told her to beat up my master so I'm free, free at last, I'm free, I'm free, oh yeah, oh yeah, freedom…
Emma: Is that ice meant to be melting like that? (Kai red and fuming inside of ice block)
Kat: (Looks tanned and is wearing a grass skirt, a bikini top and sunglasses with a big sun hat on her head) Thanks for the money Emma.
Emma: No prob. (Ice begins to crack). Kat, is that meant to happen?
Kat: Nope, but it's your story and your writing it.
Emma: Good point. Sorry Kai but I don't want to get beaten up yet. (Grabs a pencil and draws a thermometer out of nowhere and author magic makes it become real) Ha, now. (Turns the temperature down by rubbing out the red liquid stuff in the thermometer with the pencils rubber) Boy it's cold now. (Grabs a coat) Cya Kai. Now, Kat how was that holiday of yours? (Walk off with outer ego).
Kai: Great, the girls get to talk and the real cartoon hero gets stuck in an ice block. Life can't get much worse. (Shivers)
Oh, and sorry for not updating in like, (counts on fingers) about a week. I've been busy at sleep overs and such over the holidays. Gomen. (bow).
Thanks to SSJ-Vegito. Thanks for the review, it really must be good. Wow. And another DBZ fan huh? Yay, I'm happy.
Kat's POV.
What have I got myself into now? My life's road is long, complex and full of so many turns and crossovers that no map can take it without you losing you sight and going cross eye in trying to read it. First I almost go Loco again, I'm surprised I didn't turn round, take one look at Kai, think that he was the enemy and stab him right through the heart with my bare hand there and then. I could do that you know, I'm that powerful when I'm Loco. And second I'm now walking to where he is staying and am planning to stay myself, a killer within the Bladebreakers walls, not good.
Look, your probably confused about that aren't you, virtually 'Loco' is my evil side, it controls me until I manage to regain my senses, sometimes it can take seconds other times days, until then I'm a killing machine, against everybody and anybody I see. Having ancient, like a thousand years ago ancient, ancestors of black magic isn't a good life to live. Most witches were killed, in the dunkings in Tudor times, curing the world of the magic, but my family lives on.
Having …….(Enter bit-beast name there (Each dot equals a letter, try and guess)) as a bit-beast gives me both power, strength and victory over any I want to win against, for future reference I didn't want to win against Tyson when I found out that he wasn't my brother. But as well as those plusses to having ……. as a bit-beast there are many other downfalls, there always is, nothing in this world is perfect, not me, not any bit-beast ever found, not any human…there is always a downfall. I am …...'. downfall. Loco is all the bad that my bit-beast doesn't have, that my family doesn't have. I have gained the Triagon curse.
The Triagon curse, I hate it, damn my ancestors for ever creating it. The Triagon curse is that the hundredth member of our family is meant to be the greatest there ever was, perfection in motion, intelligent, witty, swift, deadly…it is meant to be a girl, another female Triagon. But with this come the bad points, because she is so good she also has to be bad in some way, my ancestors made this curse, she is the one and only one to control the magical Bit-beast ……. to his full power. So with his pure goodness and winning glory comes downfall. The downfall is Loco. I am the hundredth Triagon…I'm am the cursed…I am the Loco.
And there is nothing I can do about it, I am the hundredth and until the hundredth is no more, the curse shall live on. He is mine to use, to win with, but he is also my curse.
''We're here.''
(It's confusing and I don't know how else to explain it, in other words Kat's cursed to have two sides as she had all of her bit-beasts living bad in her. It will not be explained further as I'm confusing myself.
Kat: Stick to Dragonball Z Emma, it's a lot easier to understand than your own complex crap.
Emma: Quiet, remember who owns your life contract.
Kat: I never signed it.
Emma: I signed it and I'm you)
End Kat's POV.
''We're here.'' Kai said again, more gruffly this time after being ignored the time before. Kat looked up at him with a jolt before simply nodded slightly and continued to drag her feet in thought. Kai watched, she was depressed and hadn't said a thing all the way home. It had been three long hours of peace but he didn't like this sort of silence. Even the great Kai can get freaked out by too long uneasy silences especially when he had a walking 'Loco' person next to him with a gun near her waist and a sword on her back.
''Tyson shouldn't mind.'' He continued. She muttered something like 'thank you'. Before turning to look up at the sky. Kai looked at her. The soft glow of the rising sun was on her face and it made her look old and tired not young and fresh like she should be. He too was tired but by the looks of things this wasn't the first night that she hadn't slept in in the last few weeks.
Kai looked ahead of him to see Tyson's grandfather's Dojo coming into view. He sighed, this had to be the first time in his life he wanted to go to bed and sleep for as long as possible in that house. But he couldn't, he had training to do.
They walked around the corner of the house, Kai leading, partly looking around for the others and Kat just following the bluenette in front of her, not knowing where she was going or even caring anymore. Lack of sleep had ensured that she would now be an easy target if the Black Bandits attacked her.
She stopped and yawned and shook her head to try and regain some clarity in her sleepy vision. She yawned again before looking at her surroundings. This place was beautiful, like her home had used to be like, just change the house for a white marble mansion and it would be her home. Would have…She sighed, if only…if only that bloody storm had been a minute later…But it hadn't.
Kai had continued to walk; Kat had been near silent when walking home anyway so he had yet to discover that she had stopped following him. He walked to the door of the house to find it open and the kitchen empty. (I'll tell you now, Tyson's house has changed.) He peered around the empty kitchen but found no one there. He walked into the hallway and looked around to find all the bedroom doors closed. He reached Tyson's door and was meant by the snoring they all had to endure every day they stayed with him. Thank god they didn't have to share a room with him, only Kenny did, but even so they could still hear him from the mountains surrounding the area.
Next he came to Ray's and Max's room. Within it he heard talking.
''I just hope he's ok. He's been out all night and in a storm.'' Max said.
''He will be, Max, you know what Kai's like, he can handle anything we couldn't with ease. So technically he's can handle anything we can't as well.'' Ray replied.
''I hope you right, we should get up again now, it's already 7am.'' Max said.
''Yeah I suppose your right, Kai'll probably be waiting outside like nothing had ever happened to him, demanding that we train harder for sleeping in.'' Ray joked.
''He probably will be you know.'' Max laughed and Kai could hear him getting out of bed. Kai looked around for his companion. She was gone. He sighed; she must have stayed outside out of courtesy. He turned and walked back along the hall to find her. Walking into the once in a life time clean kitchen he looked out of the door into the morning air. He forced down a yawn. Even though he wouldn't admit it he was damn well tired right now.
''You can come in you know.'' He said gruffly expecting the girl to walk in blushing from not thinking she wasn't allowed in. She didn't come. Kai walked up to the door and looked along the length of the house, she wasn't there.
''Women are a waste of time.'' He said gruffly before walking out into the morning again to find her.
''I guess he's just asking whether I can stay?'' Kat questioned herself. She yawned before leaning against the house and sliding down onto the dew covered ground. She was already soaked to the skin from the storm last night so didn't mind about being even more wet. At least it wasn't cold; she didn't exactly want a fever right now.
''So tired, so tired.'' She muttered as her eyes closed and she leant her head back on the wall of the house. She was asleep with in the next 10 seconds.
''Who's going to wake Tyson up then?'' Ray asked the two other Bladebreakers.
''We could always wait until Hilary gets here at eight.'' Max said. Kenny just groaned.
''Just wake him up.'' He said clutching his head.
''What's up chief?'' Dizzi asked.
''We were up until gone midnight as it was waiting for Kai, and then Tyson started snoring again. I didn't get any sleep.'' He groaned.
''It's a hard life Chief.'' Max comforted the Computer wiz. ''We'll get him back for you. Ray, your waking him up.''
''Fine Max.'' Ray said turning and grabbing a cup and then filling it with icy water from the fridge. ''I'll be back in a sec.'' He said and walked out of the room. The pair waited and listened and soon were rewarded by a yell from Tyson and Ray returning to the room coolly and smirking but still a bit uneasily.
''I think I'll just go for a walk.'' He said laughing nervously before Tyson yelled out…
''I'll get you Ray, you'll be sorry you did that to me.'' And suddenly appeared from the hallway door and at running pace. Ray yelped before sprinting for the kitchen door.
''Guys help.'' He yelled as Tyson was restrained by Max and Kenny. Suddenly Tyson stopped struggling and Ray turned to where he was looking.
''Kai.'' Kai just grunted standing in the doorway. Clothes soaking wet but appearance still formidable.
''I doubt I've changed in appearance that much in the space of 12 hours have I?'' Kai said gruffly back at Ray.
''Who's that?'' Tyson asked nodding in Kai's direction as Max and Kenny released him. Kai looked down at the girl in his arms; still sound asleep and breathing peacefully.
''She's the Unknown Shadow.'' Kai replied. ''She needed somewhere to stay so she's staying here.'' Kai said sternly although looking at Tyson for agreement, this was his grandfathers house after all.
''Grandpa won't mind Kai; she can stay here for as long as she wants. The only room left is on the couch in your room though, you think you can bare sharing a room with a girl?'' Tyson mocked. Kai just grunted and walked off.
''Hang on Kai, why does she have that sword and why are you both carrying guns?'' Ray questioned. Kai cringed, in his tiredness he had forgotten about the weapons he and Kat carried so had left them where they were, in full sight of his team.
''She's a bandit, she needs them for protection, when she wakes up I'll get her to explain, in the meantime I want you eating breakfast in five minutes and out running round the garden 20 times before I get out again.'' He ordered.
''Yes sir.'' Tyson mock saluted before diving from the cupboards. The other three rolled there eyes and nodded although inwardly groaning. The laps had gone up by 5 today.
''I told you so.'' Ray said looking at Max and smirking.
''Stupid Kitty Kat, stupid women, why do I even bother…'' Kai kept muttering to himself over and over again as he reached his bedroom. He kicked open the door and used his foot to close it after himself. Looking around he found nothing moved from where he had put it yesterday and no prank traps that one of the other Bladebreakers, namely Tyson, had planted to get back at him in some way.
He walked over to the leather couch opposite the end of the bed and lay Kat there. Quickly removing his holster and hers as well as her duffle bag and sword from her back and placing it all under the couch he grabbed a blanket and covered her with it. She was still sound asleep. He quickly removed her blood stained jacket off and hung it over the side of the washing basket, he'd deal with that later, luckily no one had seen the blood due to the jacket being red also.
Kai then, seeing Kat was comfortable and would sleep long enough for him to train in peace, went to walk out of the door to train, in the process he looked over at his bed, his gaze longingly. He yawned and shook his head. No, he had training to do. But he was so tired now. He found himself walking over to his bed on auto pilot and then lying on top of it and falling asleep.
