TORN APART

Rating: T or PG-13

Summary: Everyone has a time in which they break down. A time where they give into their misery, when they cry their hearts out. I want to do that, but I can't. They say I have a heart of stone, but I want one in flesh.

A/N: I know everyone's hoping to see their OC here in this chapter, but, again, you won't be able to. I have practically chosen everyone's OCs. Some will have more minor roles while others will have major ones. Sorry for updating so late, but it was the end of the school year, and exams were taken. Then, when summer came, I went on vacation for about a month or so. Then right afterwards, my parents bombarded me with homework given from THEM!

Also, I'll probably update faster during the school year because I'm much more lazy during the summer!

(A/N) Without further ado, enjoy!

Auburn locks whipped around the air as a female ran swiftly through the forest. The sound of her own footsteps echoed in her ears as Karmen stopped near the other side of the forest. Breathing lightly, her ever so present smirk widened.

The sweet chirping of birds reached her ears as she replayed the battle between her and Tyson. Why did she even bother to use an attack? He would have lost in a matter of seconds if she continued hitting his blade. A slight frown reached lips as she remembered a conversation between her and Boris.

An auburn haired girl raged with anger as her 'mentor' strode over to her. "What do you mean by that fucking shit! I won that battle; I deserve to be the leader of the demolition boys, not fire-head o'er there! Give me one good reason why the outcome is like this!" The girl shouted at the purple haired man, obviously upset with the situation. The man glared at her for a few seconds before speaking. His tight, controlled voice sounded half an octave higher than usual.

"It's because you're too showy, Karmen. Instead of figuring out the fastest way of defeating the opponent, you tend to want to either impress or shock them with your attacks. That way, the other team can easily analyze your blade and figure out a way to demolish you." The man explained, though he was clearly unhappy with the fuss Karmen was making.

Karmen wasn't buying that explanation though, "You guys set me up, didn't you? That wasn't a real battle, Ivanov didn't even use his final attack on me!" her eyes darkened as she absorbed the words that came from her own mouth. "It's because I'm a girl isn't it? Just because of my gender, you 'guys' think you're better." Her tone was flat, a clear sign that she was royally pissed. Boris sighed before turning to leave, quite aware of the death glare that he was receiving.

Karmen frowned as she thought over what Boris had said about her way of beyblading. Her light footsteps slowed down. Sure, there were some definite flaws in her blading style, but that was what gave the essence of superiority. Shaking her head, she continued her way, trying to push those thoughts away.

Russia sighed for the hundredth time, annoying both herself and the others around her. Tugging fiercely at her dark orange hair, she looked around the room once more.

"What the hell is taking Karmen such a long time? She should have been back fucking hours ago!"

"Actually Rush, she's only late fifteen minutes."

Russia turned around to face the person that had spoken. A female stood calmly facing her, completely oblivious to the death glare that her companion was giving her. Her silver hair sparkled in the little sunlight that came from the small window. Against the black of the walls, her face seemed whiter than before. Though her expression was serious, her emerald eyes sparkled with laughter.

Russia scowled before cracking a light smile. Infinity was like that, a word from her, and your smiling. Before long though, that smile turned into a frown as a lock of her orange hair blew onto her face. Grumbling slightly, she quickly tied it up.

"I don't know how you and Karmen do it, finny, always letting your hair down, don't they get in the way?"

Before Infinity could answer, a deep chuckle brought them to realize that someone else was in the room with them. Seeing Russia's bewildered face, the male stepped out of the shadows of the room.

'What? Forgotten we were still here?"

Russia scowled at the male; she seemed to be doing that a lot lately.

"Shut up Myst, Karmen's still not back and I'm worried about her."

Myst raised an eyebrow before staring blankly and Russia. Did he hear right? Russia was worrying about Karmen? Sheesh, when did the sun start rising from the west?

Infinity glared at the black haired male, his tousled hair stood up at the back made his head look like a nest for birds. Trying to stifle her laughter didn't make the glare as convincing as she wanted it to be.

"What are you laughing about?"

As Infinity pointed, Russia immediately started to laugh. Hard to imagine that the guy who usually thinks of himself as king of the world would have hair like that.

Myst didn't think it was hilarious to have two laughing girls in front of him, both obviously laughing at him. An upset frown crossed his face, though it only made the two females laugh harder.

Groaning in frustration, he begged them to stop, sadly to no avail.

A sigh was heard before a voice sounded behind the trio. "It's your hair Myst, the end or your hair is sticking upwards for about five centimeters long. Rush, Finity, stop with the laughing. We have to go somewhere, remember?"

"FINALLY Karmen, your finally back! Well, how did it go? They're captured right? We did lose, didn't we? Why did you come back twenty minutes late? When do we have 'ta meet the rest of the gang? So many questions here, all waiting to be answered!" Tapping her foot impatiently on the floor, Russia sighed before waiting for an answer.

Karmen glared at Russia. "You know the answers to all these questions except for one, and the answer is because I just had to wipe the arrogant smirk off of that Kinomiya kid's face. And I did just that."

Myst shook his head playfully, Russia just grinned. Infinity smirked though, 'I just knew you would do something like that. You never could resist beating amateurs. Did Kai remember you?"

Russia frowned darkly, "Don't speak of that bastard. I don't want to hear about traitors." With that, she stormed outside mumbling her 'he could have left us for a better team!' speech.

Exchanging worried glances, the three in the room walked out to join their friend.

"Come on, let's go! The others are waiting for us." Walking ahead of the rest, Karmen thought about the way Russia reacted, there was something going on between them. She should know about it, but did she really want to?
