Chapter 3: Past and A Life of Two sides
She cleared her throat looking slightly astounded, "How did you find me?" She repeated.
"I have my ways," The boy replied.
"Well I wish you didn't," she replied. Sighing she opened the door wider, "Well I guess you want my hospitality then." Kai snorted.
"Actually I want to know who you are," The boy said his blue, grey hair rustled slightly. The girl sighed and stepped back holding the door open.
"Well you had better come in then," He walked in, "Make yourself at home, what normal people are supposed to do when idiots aren't chasing after your bit beasts or attacking you."
She sat down on the bed and he sat down in a chair. It was then that she realised she was wearing only her towel and blushed slightly. Then she ran to a set of draws where she bent over to pick out some clothes. He diverted his eyes quickly and she went in the bathroom to change. The girl came out after five minutes dressed baggy blue jeans over her a pair of black boots, a three quarter length top with a red jacket over the top. Her face was naturally soft, but her eyes were black with pure experience locked behind them. The girl noticed.
"Well you came to ask questions, so ask, but don't expect the truth or even an answer," The girl said.
"Who do you work for?" The boy started interrogating her. The girl laughed.
"You make me sound like I'm a criminal. I work for myself and only myself," The girl said. Suddenly the beyblade on her bed began to whirr. Though even with this confidence the boy didn't buy it. He just sat there, his facial expression unmoving. He cast a glance over to the blade and she followed it.
"Where did you get it?" He asked. The girl looked at her feet for a moment then looked up, her expression had turned from happiness to sadness.
"My mom gave it to me when I was little," She said. He pressed the matter.
"Where are they now?" He asked. She turned around away from him, sadness now loomed over her like a dark shadow.
"Heaven, I guess," Quietly she carried on, "Probably giving Tyson a hard time about his clothes again."
"Tyson," The girl frowned, why did he have to keep pressing on, why? Couldn't he see how much pain this was starting to bring to her?
"Not your Tyson," she said, "I know they…they have died but I'm not sure about him."
"So you thought Tyson was your brother?" The boy said.
"Well they look alike, and they're about the same age too," she said. She turned around, "Now I want to ask a question. How did you know I was here."
"Well one, most of the hotels in this city cost a little more than I expected you to be able to pay, and secondly, I asked the woman downstairs, explaining that I wanted to give you back your beyblade. She bought it," He said then he stood up.
"I want to ask you one more thing before I leave," He said. The girl looked at him, "Is your name Kat." A shiver ran straight down her spine.
"What gave you that idea?" she asked.
"Well," the boy looked down slightly, "You look just like her, you sound like her, she once had a beyblade like yours, she was also looking for her brother, just after she had ran away from an orphanage…Actually I have no doubts, I know that it is you Kat Triagon."
"In that case you are still the arrogant person I thought you were, now get out," The girl said. He didn't move.
"Hmph, Kitty Kat trying to give me orders?" He said.
"Why you little….you always beat me at blading," She said throwing a pillow at him. He caught it with ease, tossed it aside only to see her running at him. But he didn't move, in fact he opened his arms and caught her, embracing her.
"It really is you, isn't, Kai Hiwatari," she said.
"Yeah, it's me. You're still the brat you used to be too," Kai replied slightly playfully.
"Kai, there's so much I want to tell you," Kat said.
"I know, hey I have a proposition for you," Kai said. Kat looked up at him, "Why don't you join the team?"
"The bladebreaker's?"
"Yeah,"
"I can't," with that she withdrew from his embrace holding his hands by the finger tips. Already she could see the turmoil in his face, "Its because of my other identity, Killer Kat." Kai looked at her questioningly, "I've done a lot of bad things in my life and most of them I regret, but I learned a lot from the experience. While I was in Russia I met a gang of organised thugs, who had apparently decided I was to be killed or taken prisoner. Well I did my best to escape them, to defeat them but there was just to many, and in order to save my life I said I'd work for them. Little did I know I was going to be trained up as a ninja assassin. I've killed many people…Kai, there's just too much innocent blood on my hands to go with you. Though I gave it up two year's back they are after me the Shadow Bandits, I mean. Because I betrayed them," She said Kai looked saddened and she let go of his finger tips, "You'd better leave…" Kai turned and left.
Kai made his way towards the elevator which he stepped in and pressed the button for the ground floor.
"I didn't expect that," Kai said. A voice in his head replied to him.
"You can't always expect the unexpected Kai," The voice said.
"I certainly didn't expect her to turn down my offer," Kai said.
"All you suffered was your pride Kai, it means nothing to her, you know that," Kai said. He remembered the day that she had embarrassed him in front of his Grandfather and he had slapped her. Of course he had immediately apologised for it after and he hadn't hit a girl since, especially since his friends looked at him as if he was a coward for the next few months. Kai lost a few friends to that incident, but at least he'd apologised, "Reliving that memory?" The voice said.
"Yeah," Kai replied, "I just….wish I had handled it a little differently." The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Kai walked past the receptionist silently and straight out of the main doors. There seemed to be someone at the base of the steps. A security guard? Wearing all black and cloaked to? He hadn't been there before. Kai walked down the steps and noticed another person down the street wearing the same.
"Hey kid, move outta the way," The man said.
"What are you doing here?" Kai asked.
"Just move kid, our business isn't with you," At that moment there was a scream from above, "Its with her."
Well I don't know about you, but I think the story is progressing well, check the other story if you want. It should be still up, Whisper of the Wind by Shadow Samurai of the Darkness. For certain plot and factual related items I have changed certain things that you will notice if you read the first one. Such as Kat cannot be a Samurai because she's always hiding and if you want to go any further with that look up Minamoto Muyashi, and Bushido. (Kind of off topic) I have tried to keep as much of it the same but there were just certain holes in the first person, second person, and third person tenses.
Please comment on if I've improved it and how good you think it is, how it could be improved further, and if you think the opposite I still want your comments please….feel free the flame and complain about copyright but SSOTD gave me the story and characters. feel free if you have any comments…
