12: Memories
Disclaimer: (Fast asleep at the computer, rep pokes awake with a stick). What! (Wake with a start with key prints all over face, gets handed a letter). Oh yeah, I don't own Beyblade. (Yawn). Goodnight. (Falls asleep again).
Kai: So you're saying you only do all that stuff because you have to?
Kat: I'm only in this fic because I have to!
Kai: And there's me thinking you came here to annoy me out of choice.
Kat: Trust me, my home is in DBZ, Vegeta is a lot more easy to annoy and plus I get a work out in the process, savvy.
Kai: You saying I'm not good enough?
Kat: You couldn't touch me if you tried. (Go into an anime fight with dust cloud intact).
Emma: (Yawns and gets woken up by the noise). Jeez you can't get good Anime characters these days. (Yell). I'll call for back up.
Kat: (Stops immediately). This is a Beyblade fic Emma you can't do that.
Kai: (Punches Kat right in the face but she doesn't even flinch). Ha, got you. Why didn't you even flinch?
Kat: Emma's just written a bit more of a DBZ fic she writing with me in it, thus my powers haven't wore off yet (Crack knuckles), don't you remember, what happens in the fics happens to me out here. (Powers up and dives for Kai who runs).
Emma: That's just given me a good idea a Beyblade/DBZ cross over, I don't think it's been done before. (Writes down in note book). But anyway I'm still calling for back up and in the mean time writing this story. (Start typing this story).
Thanks for the names Storm, I could have done research but I'm pretty lazy. Anyway, glad you like it and as long as I live…I will write. Saronara.
Training over for the day the Bladebreakers were back in doors. Tyson eating, Max and Ray just watching, with gathering sweatdrops, as he demolish the food supply while Hilary just set death glares at him, not that he noticed. Kai was watching with one eye open, as he leant against the wall with arms crossed and one leg resting, in disgust at his team member. And Kat was looking over Kenny's shoulder at her stats from the battle with Kai earlier that day.
''Hey Kat, do you think that I could maybe take a look at your Beyblade?'' Kenny asked. Kat smiled.
''You guys sure do ask a lot of questions of a girl you've only just met; you'll be asking me to wash the dishes next.'' She said. Kenny smiled. Kai just huffed, after over hearing the pair's conversation like he always seems to and said…
''Not, at the rate Tyson's going, I'll be making it his job.'' Kat turned and smirked.
''And you haven't already, you're going soft Kai.'' Kai just smirked.
''Not just yet Kitty Kat, and I'd be quiet of who you says is going soft otherwise you'll be doing the dishes for Tyson.'' Kat looked slightly shocked and then smirked.
''I'm a lone wolf; I take orders from no-one. And besides, I'm not in your team, I'm just staying with you, you don't have authority over me.'' She said proudly. Kai just grunted.
''And there's me thinking anyone would jump at the chance to be one of the World famous Bladebreakers.'' He said proudly. Yeah I would but I can't, I'll be gone in a few mere days anyway. Kat thought doubtfully although her smile never wavered.
''Then you think wrong, Kai. Now, Kenny.'' Kat said turning back to the boy and his lap top. She dug into her pocket and then pulled out her silver blade and handed it to the boy before Kai could say another word.
Kenny nodded and took it from her and started his tests. Kat smiled a she worked but soon got bored and decided to go outside again and explore. Meanwhile Kenny looked over Kat's blade, no-one had seen it close up and actually looked at it before now so he was the first to see what Kat's blade looked like. He didn't know whether to treat it like an honour or a privilege or just let it pass like anyone else would.
Kenny looked down at the blade in his hands. It looked like it was worth a lot of money first off. It was made of pure silver, not just reinforced plastic but the actual metal silver and that itself made it incredibly strong and gave it a high melting point (Am I right in saying that? If not then its magic stops it from melting, all win basis) although it was still incredibly light but he didn't know who that work out, it should be real heavy with all the silver in it but it wasn't. Kenny stopped puzzling over that as he examined the blade further.
The attack ring was circular but had four points that curved in the same direction to the right while smaller spikes in-between these four big ones turned to the left. In the four big spikes were crystals shaped the same way but smaller than the silver piece. They consisted of a ruby (Fire), a sapphire (Water), a emerald (Grass) and somehow brown tinted diamond (Ground/Rock). In the middle of the blade, where the running with wings outstretched bit-beast picture of Whisper was mounted, was a crystal clear diamond that seemed to be tinted with every colour there was as it was hit by the light. The rest of Kat's blade was also silver although the point seemed to be covered in gold to match the horse shoes Whisper wore. Kenny quickly noted this down before started his tests again.
It was closing into evening now. The sky was pink as the sun set and the clouds glowed a pinkish white as they floated miles above the ground although Kat felt as though she could reach out a touch them where she stood. She had never really liked the colour pink but even so it suited the sky at this hour. The trees and mountains beyond were black against the setting sun making the scene look beautiful and made Kat relax.
This was when she usually practised, so she was only a silhouette against the darkness, so no-one could recognise her, but she couldn't right now, Kenny, or Chief as everyone else seemed to called him, had Whisper, although her Unicorn had yelled his displease when she handed him over, so without a beyblade she couldn't practise. She had another thought…But she could always practise that way.
She turned back to the house and walked around to the windows. She found the one she wanted and opened the brown wooden frame and lifted herself into the room. She had to do it this way; she doubted whether the people in the house would like her carrying it around with her everywhere like she usually did. Nodding to herself in approval of finding Kai's room the first time she started to look around for her sacred item. Where the hell did Kai put it? Kat looked over at the sofa she was using as a bed and then saw the gold diamonds of embroidery on the hilt. Bingo. She grabbed it before jumping out of the window and back out into the garden where she had been standing only a minute before.
Placing the black case across her back and the brown leather belt that secured it across her chest she tied the belt tight around her chest and did the buckle up again so the handle of the case was near her left shoulder. Breathing in the cool nighttimes air she sighed and let her breath float up into the clouds above. Sighing she took a stance with bent knees before reaching back and with a 'ching' had unsheathed her sacred Samurai sword once more.
She gazed upon its beauty again like she had done many times before, but this time in peace and not in battle and murder. She sighed to herself at the memories this blade brought back to her. The killing of other bandits, or of even her fellow Black Bandits at her masters command, she could not turn it down else her life would be taken, it hurt all the same. She could not turn back though; she had left those memories and her master and would never return to him unless his death called out for her to deal for her revenge and satisfaction.
She looked upon the silver blade again; it shone in the night just like her other blade did, her sword and Beyblade both shared the beauty of the suns last raise into the night. She sighed. But her sword was scarred. She turned the blade so its flat side faced her and brought it to her face. There it was, the emblem of the Black Bandits, just the same as on her le...she pushed that thoughts away, it wouldn't get her down anymore. She had only gained this sword through them and could not remove their mark upon it. She couldn't sell her weapon either, in black market or not, no-one would buy from the Black Bandits without themselves knowing and then she would be tracked down for not returning the blade to its true owner.
She sighed and blocked out everything in her mind and focused only on her surroundings. Even Whisper's Spirit within her was blocked out and his complaining, although faint but still audible to her, was gone as well. She gripped there golden and black handle of her sword and fiddled with the diamonds slightly to relax. (You knew what samurai swords are like, they have those diamond things on their hilts don't they? Heh, I also apologise for going Killer on you again, gomen.)
Then she went. Full scale slashing, parrying, dodging in combination with kicks and then more slashing and turns and stabs. Shadow sparring, her way of practising for battle, not that she used her Sword for anything other than stealth kills anymore and even then she hadn't used it in over a year. She could kill an enemy silently during a stealth kill that way and then when surrounded she would use her gun. Using a gun for a stealth kill wouldn't be stealthy as the gun shot would alert more bandits from the opposition and using a sword when surrounded would mean a lot of high combat fighting which was risky. Common knowledge to the assassin.
She continued for many minutes, swiping with her eyes closed, kicking out without fear, slashing like there really was an enemy as she debated upon lost memories and what to do now. Then she stopped, in her last slash positing with her sword thrown to her side, breathing heavily. She flashed open her eyes to find herself starting at the house, and at a pair of dark hazel eyes. She gasped and kicked herself mentally for not being fully aware of her surroundings, what would have happened if it was a Black Bandit assassin out for her life?
She sighed and cased her sword on her back once more, she wasn't afraid of Kai knowing of her ability's, he already knew she would kill to live, after all, he had seen her do it. She brushed off her trousers and Kai's tank top, which she still wore; out of habit after a battle or training as usually she would be dirty and sweating or covered in blood by then. She turned her gaze to Kai.
''Where did you learn that?'' An unusual questioned, not, but coming from Kai it was still unexpected. Kat sighed but stood still as a black silhouette in the new moonlight that fell over the garden.
''It's my survival, you learn a lot through instinct alone.'' She stated. Kai nodded. Mental note: Don't threaten her life.
''So, did you want me or is it about time I came in?'' She asked crossing her arms and walking up to him.
''You've got a visitor.'' Kai said. Kat tensed.
''What does he or she look like?'' She asked suspiciously.
''Don't get your knickers in a twist, we know him, his name is Mr. Dickenson and he's our manager. He won't be jumping out at you with a knife as far as I know.'' He cracked a smirk at Kat's now peaceful face.
''My knickers are none of your business Kai and why is he here anyway, I've heard of him but never thought I'd ever get the chance of meeting him, just like ever being in the same building as the World Famous Bladebreakers.'' She exaggerated like Kai had done proudly before. Kat just huffed but smiled at her stupid humour.
''I believe he is here to ask you about whether you want to join us or not?'' He stated. Kat paused then sighed.
''I can't, go tell him. You know I can't, what you saw two nights ago was nothing to what I'm used to, it's worse. Go say sorry but I can't.'' Kat said urgently. Kai went back to a blank expression, why was Kat so worried?
''No, you tell him, I'm not a messenger boy.'' He said and turned and walked back into the house.
I am so buggered, there is no way I can turn down anyone, I'm fierce at heart but soft in conscience to help. Sod it. Kat began growling at her own thoughts as she followed Kai into the house, not bothering with hiding her sword, maybe it would put him off? She was wrong.
