20: From Enemy to Friend and Important Info
Disclaimer: You know I don't own Beyblade so why even bother suing or kicking up a fuss about it.
Kat: I could always come round and sort you out.
Emma: Yes she might, and I may just forget to hold her back. Anyway I can't be bothered to say anything right now.
Kai: That means no pain for me, thank you god.
Emma: I could always make you in pain you know, it takes one word only.
Kai: Like what?
Emma: Burn.
Kai: (Waits for something to happen, looks round but finds nothing out of place or suspicious pointing at him or on fire nearby.) I don't feel anything Emma.
Kat: Look at your back side.
Kai: (Twists body round and then sees fire burning on his ass). I hate you. (Starts to running around and tries to put it out while the two girls laugh their heads off.)
Kat looked around again before taking another mouthful of food. Lee got up from the table where he sat and walked over to her. His hair was as spiky as in school but he now wore a pair blue baggy jeans over some black trainers and a blue three quarter length sleeve top under a green shirt that was undone and covered in green snakes. Around his wrists was a pair of black sweatbands. She put her plate down and stood up.
''Why are you here? What do you want this time, Diablo want to speak to me again?'' He shook his head.
''I want to say sorry.'' Kat just snorted.
''And what's sorry meant to mean to me?'' She began, the others already knew from her tone that she was going to explode, and quickly. ''I died Lee; I died but was lucky enough to be saved in time. I still have stitches to prove that I've been in hospital and I will always carry the scar that will tell everyone that I've been shot in the stomach. This will last the rest of my life and you expect a word, one simple word, sorry, to mean anything to me?'' Kat spat. By this time everyone was silent, even Tyson had stopped eating and was almost looking sympathetically at Lee, he knew, along with everyone else in the city about how Lee's life had been hell since then, but only the people in the yard had forgiven him.
''I knew it would be hard for you to except my apology, but I've been through hell too you know. I am now under constant watch of the police; in fact I wouldn't suspect a thing is an officer walked in right now to check up on me. The Black Bandits are still after me for giving away their name and making them have to flee, I've had death notes sent to me, letters threatening my abduction.'' By now he was almost yelling.
''I've been in court for the last few weeks and have pleaded innocent so many times now I recon I'm saying my case while I sleep, luckily I'm free to go with only a fine from my parents. That brings be to another thing, I'm hated by everyone, my parents don't even feed me any more, they only glare at me, everyone at school hates me for what I've done, I'm nothing anymore.'' He quietened down as it dawned on him that's Kat's gaze was slightly faltering from a glare. He looked down at his feet in shame as he continued his speech.
''And it wasn't even meant to happen, they said they'd only talk to you, I didn't know who they were only that I'd get paid for doing it and hurt if I didn't, I didn't have a choice.'' Kat could see the tears crowding in his eyes and her glare immediately faltered more. Lee whipped his tears away and started raising his voice again.
''So don't you yell at me for making your life hell, mine is too and only because I was threatened with death if I didn't assist. I didn't know anything like that was going to happen, I was shocked as it was, I've never seen a gun in my life but next thing I know ones being aimed at the person I led into a trap, guess how shocked I was because of that, they said I almost had a heart attack when I had a check up with the doctors afterwards.'' He stopped as tears ran down his cheeks.
''I'm alone, no one believes me because no one was there, except you, you're the only one who could possibly believe me.'' He looked at Kat's eyes. They remained blank and black. But they were no longer glaring at him. Her expression was soft and unthreatening again. He felt a hand rest on his shoulder and it was led back to Kat's shoulder.
''I believe you now.'' She said softly, smiling slightly. He smiled too and sighed.
''Thank you. I won't bother you again.'' He said. ''But first I've got this.'' He dug into his pocket and pulled out a cord with one of the half's of the bullet Whisper had broken before it hit Kat. He then dug into his shirt and pulled out the other half by its cord. ''I made these in my spare time as I have no friends to hang out with now or no clubs to go to since I've been kicked out of all of them and my band's decided that even though I set them up they no longer need me as a drummer. Anyway, it makes me think of how much of a survivor you are. It's a lot to ask but if you forgive me, maybe we could be friends, you'd be the only one I have anyway.'' Kat smiled and took the necklace and nodded.
''Sure. You'll have to put up with these guys though.'' She said looking around at the Bladebreakers. They nodded.
''We know how much hell he's been through and we've also decided he's alright.'' Hilary said.
''We just didn't tell you before because you would have bitten our heads off or yelled at us like you just did him.'' Ray explained. Kat turned back to Lee and smiled.
''I guess I should be saying sorry then.'' She looked down at her feet. ''I overreact, a lot.'' She smiled before putting the bullet necklace around her neck.
''Friends.'' Lee said simply before moving forward and hugging her. Kat tensed at his movement, she didn't do this normally but this would be an exception. She raised her arms and hugged back.
''Friends.'' Kat mimicked and couldn't help but pick up a few murmurs of 'How sweet' or 'arrr' from around her. They broke the hug and pulled back, Lee blushing lightly and it caught Kat off guard so she did too. Kat looked around again before glaring at everyone that was pulling soppy faces.
''Don't you dare mock me or else I'll be getting my sword out on you.'' She growled playfully.
''You have a sword.'' Cassy, her friend and Lee all yelled. Kat groaned.
''Guys, tell me not to say stuff if you haven't told them next time.'' She said directing it at the Bladebreakers who simply smirked.
''Yes I have a sword, it's not illegal is it so it doesn't matter.'' Kat said.
''Where'd you get it?'' Lee asked. Kat sighed.
''From the same people that killed me.'' Kat said flatly. Lee abruptly shut up. ''I used to be one of them. I used to be a Black Bandit Assassin, maybe the best of them. But then I ran from them, I didn't like killing anymore; I never really did, so I ran. They tracked me down and then…'' She stopped; they all knew what happened to her for running.
''You used to be one of them?'' Cassy's friend asked.
''First who are you?'' Kat asked the girl rather abruptly but the girl didn't seem to mind. She wore her mid back long dark brown hair in a high pony tail in the centre of her head with two stands tucked behind her ears from the middle of her forehead. She wore an army camouflage style tank top and a pair of long dark green shorts that went down to her knees. Her black leather boots came up to her knees before folding over for about two inches, her gloves came up to her elbows and were the same design. Around her neck she had a thick black chocker and a long silver pendant that fell below her collar bone. Her eyes were a green colour and her smile showed sparkling white teeth.
Cassy besides her wore a no sleeve blue Chinese style top with pink hems. Her sleeves clipped onto the main part on the shoulders and were striped blue and pink and flared out at the elbows to hang from her wrists. She wore light blue three quarter length jeans and a pair of simple flat strappy shoes. Her hair was the same as it was in school fell down to her mid back in all is shining blonde glory and around her wrists were loads of black loose bangles. Her blue eyes sparkled like her friend's teeth did.
''This is Elisa, Kat. Elisa this is Kat.'' Kat smirked slightly. Elisa (E-Lisa), she remembered that name well.
''Well hi then Elisa and yes I used to be one of them, I didn't do it out of choice though. I was an orphan…'' Kat then explained about her past and what had happened up until now in her life.
''You poor thing.'' Elisa said giving Kat a quick hug after she had heard about Kat's losses and bad times. Kat just smirked. Unknown to her Elisa wasn't as well off as the two coloured haired girl was. But that was Elisa's secret and only she would ever know. She'd take it to the grave.
''I feel sorry for those guys, they've heard that so many times I recon their going to start falling asleep when they hear it.'' With that they started laughing and talking about different subjects involving the Bladebreakers as well, all apart from one though. That of course was Kai who stood at the back of the yard against the house, looking across at Kat who seemed oblivious to his gaze. And although he would forever deny it, he felt good to see Kat so happy, he did care. (Kai: That's torture in itself; don't write anything else like that about me. Emma: Tough luck big guy because I'm the author.)
Everyone home again and everything cleaned up Kai immediately made them start training again, after all it was only 8 at night and they hadn't even eaten dinner yet, much to Tyson's displeasure, but they still had training to do, it was only a few more weeks until the tournament so Kai decided to just get some more training in when possible, to the loss of the rest of his team.
''But Kai, I'll die if I do another lap.'' Tyson panted, he only had three more laps to go anyway.
''Yeah, I'll kill you if you keep on complaining.'' Kat said stopping her running as she finished and holding her stomach in pain. Kai just smirked as Tyson looked at Kat in horror.
''See, Kat's just got out of hospital and she's training, I think she's even done a lap more than you.''
''Three.'' Kat corrected her team Captain. ''I've finished them, but hell I wish I hadn't. My stomach is killing me.''
''Go inside and rest then, with Ray and Max.'' Kai advised although it came out more as an order. Kat simply nodded instead of giving a snide remark and walked off.
''Come on Tyson get the hell around this yard now.'' Kai bellowed. Tyson groaned before heading off again.
''You done them then Kat?'' Ray asked. Kat nodded and sat down on the wooden floor in front of the three there. Kenny was busy on his laptop as per usual and Ray and Max were still resting after the completion of their laps.
''I wish I hadn't though, the nurse did say I was allowed to exercise but I think that was too much.'' Kat sighed. ''But if it's the only way to get Whisper back then I'll do it, whatever pain or torture I have to go through.'' The pair smiled.
''You sounded as stubborn as Tyson when you said that.'' Max said.
''I hope that's a good thing.'' Kat smiled and lent back on her hands behind her back. ''So, you got anything new Kenny?'' The P.C wiz looked up and smiled.
''Surprisingly enough I have. You know Lee said that the Black Bandits have fled well I know their new location.'' Kat's eyes brightened.
''Where is it Kenny?'' She asked crawling on her hands and knees to his side where she sat and watched as he typed.
''It's in the mountains to the west of here.'' He explained as a map of the mountain area appeared on the screen. The rest of the group gathered around just as Kai came back in leading an exhausted Tyson. The pair immediately collected at the back of the group as Kenny gathered pictures that Kat needed.
''It's up in the mountains on the other side of the city. It's nestled among the hills up there.'' A map of the area appeared. ''This is us here, and that is where they are meant to be, Whisper could be anywhere within a mile of that point.'' He pointed to a red spot on the screen near the edge of the mountains. Kat shook her head.
''No, he's there.'' She pointed to an open piece of land near the red dot. ''That's where all the Black Bandits main info station is. And that's where Whisper will be.'' She said.
''How do you know that, it could be a trap set up for you?'' Max asked.
''I have this sixth sense that helps me decide things like this, Whisper is still calling me from that area, when ever I look west I can hear him again, but this isn't a call for help any more, it is a call of a challenge. He has changed but all I want to know it how and who now controls him, I'll kill the people that did this to him.'' She growled. The rest understood her anger, having her bit-beast taken away from her would be hard. Kai found it hard when Dranzer was taken, Ray when Drigger left him. It added up that Kat would be the same or worse since she was connected with her bit-beast stronger than them.
''So what are you going to do Kat, your in no condition to go there, and if you try I'm not letting you go. Your only get your self killed, but this time for good.'' Ray said. Kat nodded.
''I'm not going to go, yet, when I heal I will, they will be expecting me to attack straight away anyway, it's what I would usually do.'' She lied.
No Ray, I am going to rescue Whisper soon, before he becomes totally uncontrollable. I find out who did this and kill them there and then, they know I've left the hospital, I have probably been watched even when in hospital, they won't think I'll attack with an injury that could me life or death. They are wrong.
Kat suddenly stood up and did a 'Kai' and simply left to go back outside.
''Hey Kat, where are you going?'' Tyson called. Kat sighed but continued walking forward without even a turn of her head.
''To train.''
What are you up to Triagon, you have a reason behind this, I know you do, and you're not getting through me like you do these other numbskulls. Kai thought as he followed Kat with his eyes as she left the room.
(Not really the greatest chappy. But still. What is Kat planning to do? Stay turned and I want at least 1 review this time please). (Oh, and can i have title names for a school type fic. Basically, its about pain, fall outs and dark pasts, family loss and dark stuff like that as well as being in sixth form. It's mainly KaixKat but theres a bit of OCXOC and TyxHil and others. i'm stuck for the title. all is welcome. Thanks)
