Chapter 8--------------------------- The Plot Thickens,part 2
" Alright am I the only one that sees that the blades are glowing or do I need to get an immense amount of rest," Tidus said breaking the silence, in which everyone's eyes were concentrated on the dim light that was being emitted by the bits on the blades.
" No I actually don't think you are, that's so weird, they never did that before....", Riona pondered sitting back into the comfortable sofa.
" I don't think beyblades suddenly start glowing outside a battle.....", Max yawned quickly placing his hand infront of his mouth.
" Well, I did hear this story, the one time I was home the same time as my parents, really rare, and this was right after they went on some trip to the U.S, to see my parents' superiors, they were speaking in hushed tones and said something about-", Tifa stopped talking as soon as she heard the elevator doors slide open. Sebastien and Patty walked out, ushers behind them carrying all there belongings. Everyone shot backwards into there couchs, there gazes dropped to the floor.
Tifa quickly plucked her blade from the table, for some reason she had the sudden urge to hide it.
No one spoke, the room awkwardly quite, Sebastien raised an eyebrow looking over at his girlfriend, his vision suddenly being caught by the beyblades on the table. His eyes seemed to darken, a smile crossing his lips, he walked forward stopping at the edge of the table, his hand reaching forward, grasping one in his hand. Bringing it closer to his face, his smile seemed to spread, " So this is Driger, impressive how a beast so poweful could be confined to a tiny piece of metal, it's quite similar to Dark Driger, Tifa pass me your blade" he commanded, Tifa brought her eyes back to level with his, a glint of defiance in her dark green eyes.
" Why?"
" I said PASS it" his voice demanded.
" FINE!" Tifa huffed, her hand stretching out, Sebastien snatched it from her hands, bringing them both side by side.
Tifa rolled her eyes impatiently, crossing her arms she stood up, feeling suddenly uneasy that someone other then her had Dark Driger in there possesion. Rei seemed to be reading Tifa's brother's every expression, " So is something wrong?" he asked, curious of what the inspection was all about.
Sebastien looked up, turning to Patty," Hmm Perfect match", Patty seemed to smile at his words. Tifa just sighed in frustration, " Perfect match for what," she asked tiredly.
" Kai, Riona, Tidus and Rikku, you all have matching blades also?" he asked, ignoring his young sister completely, much to her aggrivation.
" Yeah we do, Drawnzer and Black Drawnzer", Kai said uncertainly, Riona shrugged, what was he talking about?
" Well-" Rikku was cut off by Tidus suddenly pulling out his own, " Yeah we do".
" you have one?" Rikku asked astonished.
" The question is..is he any good, probably sucks compairing to me though" Kai shrugged his brother off.
" What! I could whoop you Kai anytime!" Tidus growled his fists c;enched to his sides.
" Sure you could" Kai laughed.
Sebastien stepped forward between the two brothers, catching there attention, " Well then all of you are meant to be together, and will all eventually end getting married," he said casually, his young sister suddenly letting out s screech, " How THE hell do you know this!" she hissed, " What are you now a fortune teller!" Tifa was practically an inch away from her eldest brother's face.
"Married?......" Rei asked uncertainlly, Kai and Tidus squirmed uncomfortably in there seats.
" Alright well time for bed now" Sebastien turned his back to them, beginning to walk down the hall, completely dismissing all of there questions.
" You can't just leave us hanging, what is the reason you just suddenly tell us were going to get married!" Tifa run up infront of him, blcoking him from going any further.
Patty smirked at Tifa's antics," Go on Seb just tell them". Sebastien turned to his girlfriend rolling his eyes," Alright it said somewhere that the people with matching Bit-Beasts would all get married and live happily together forever and ever,happy?Isn't that such a nice story, alright bed time".
Getting up reluctantly, the lounging people left the comfort of the leather couchs and made there way down the hall. Patty and Sebastien directed them to there appartment like room, before walking off further down the hall and disappearing into there own room.
The room they were to stay in was completely furnished, with a kitchen, bathroom,living room and a large area which homed enough beds for all of them. Tyson had immediatly dropped all his things, and lay down on one of the beds, each one being able to have two people sleep on them, he sprawled out diagonally, " Wow I could really get used to this stuff you know, let's all stay friends for a really long time" he said closing his eyes lazily.
Tifa and Riona's brothers seemed to have busied themselves with an interesting game of cards, while the BLadbreakers remained quiet, unpacking there belongings.
Tifa sat on her bed suddenly her hands nervously playing with the end of her skirt, her expression seeming bothered, " My brother's acting weird..." she said suddenly. The individuals in the room all stopped to look at her. Jesse opened his eyes turning to his younger sister, " He's always an asshole I don't see a difference", he said smartly. Little Matt looked over at his brother, " Well the only asshole I see here is you," he retorted, surprising his older brother Jesse. " You really got some balls there saying that to me, how about I make sure you never reproduce again", Jesse threatned lifting himself from the bed he had comfortably taken home to. Tifa had seemed to ignore the whole argument, she just shook her head, " Why would he say something like that it just makes no sense, and something scared me, what happened to his...."
" Eyes?, I saw that too, his expression seemed to grow darker, they reminded me of those maids although his seemed to show that he was all there, although in some sadistic sort of way", Kai finished Tifa's sentence.
" And it all happened when he checked out the two matching blades", Rei said looking onto the nightstand where his beyblade sat safely on the polished wood.
" All this shit is retarded, all at once we get attacked, Jesse comes out of his room, our brother is acting like some pyschopath, what next?", Phil sighed as he dropped onto his bed.
" What are all of you still doing up"
Tifa had almost fallen off her bed, in the doorway stood Sebastien,who leaned against the wall. She felt her heart pound slightly, and noticed that the bladebreakers were all descreatly trying to get there blades, " What's your problem Tifa, I thought you would expect me to walk in knowing that all of you wouldn't be in bed", he said cooly, his usual clear blue eyes, were dark and bore into Tifa's green ones.
" Sorry, you just surprised me, that's all" she quickly averted her gaze to the carpeted floor, her feet playing nervously in it.
" Alright well tomorrow morning I want to see you in the main office, I need to talk to you about something, so get some rest, your not going to school tomorrow anyways"he said, a smirk on his face as he walked out of the room.
Jesse looked at the people in the room slightly bemused, " Gee there was no tension in here," he said sarcastically. It seemed easier to breath suddenly, Riona exhaled loudly, Rikku seemed to grasp her chest, " You know for a second there I thought he had heard our whole conversation about him," she said her voice cracking slightly. Tifa's eyes were still on the door he had exited through.
" Your not going in there alone, were coming with you, whatever he has to say to you he could say to us," Rei sat beside his girlfriend, who finally turned back to them, nodding quietly.
" Alright I'll have to agree with you guys that was weird even for him," Jesse said his eyebrow arched.
" If he trys anything, he'll get his ass handed to him," Rikku punched the air, the whole room erupted into a mass frenzy of cheers, Tifa smiled leaning onto Rei, who was right beside her.
A cold light filtered into the room through the closed window, the moon full in the sky, seeming so close that if one stretched there arm out enough they would touch it. It's cold light made Tifa shiver, an arm tightly wrapped around her, her eyes slowly opened, she turned her head to look upwards, as her head lay comfortably on Rei's chest. She smiled looking up at his relaxed face, ' he's so handsome,'Tifa thought lightly placing a kiss on his lips, eliciting a small moan. She turned her head, ewhich was hard to do since he kept her tightly in place, Riona lay next to Kai, there arms around eachother, and Rikku and Tidus were both sleeping facing eachother,there hands intwinded. Her brothers all lay in interesting positions, sprawled over there beds taking up all of the space. Riona's brothers seemed to sleep in the same messy manner as her's and Tyson. Max slept soundly on his side and Kenny was sleeping on his back. Something had woken her up, she gently peeled Rei's arm off of her. She slowly walked to the door, making sure she didn't hit anything while she manouvered her way through the dark, her hand had finally reached the doorknob, she opened the door just enough so that she passed through it, she closed the door lightly. The light of the hallway was too bright for her likeing, it;'s brightness momentarilly making her vision blurry. The hall was completely deserted, her bare feet, made a light noise as they hit the carpeted hallway. She had begun to walk down it, several closed doors to each her sides, ahead of her to her left though, a door was ajar. the sleeping form of Patty was laying in the bed, her back to the door, Tifa raised herself on her tip-toes to see her brother. No one was there. Tifa frowned, he could have been in the bathroom, she thought, but saw that there was no light source in the room whatsoever, besides the light spilling in from the hallway. Tifa shook her head, the night seemed to be getting stranger and stranger, she walked absent mindedly down that hall, she had no sense of time, her mind pondered almost to the point to where it hurt. Something light touched her shoulder, she immeditaly snapped back to reality, her hand grasping the one behind her, and easily threw the person over her shoulder.
" What are you doing up", Sebastoen groaned looking up from the floor.
" Seb!" Tifa said almost exasperated, " I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you..." she stuttered.
" Well next time you decide to throw someone over your shoulder check who the hell it is, and what's this now, you can't talk properly anymore?" he said slowly sitting up.
Tifa gave him her hand, " It's late, and well yeah, It's late...", she slowly pulled her brother up, his height difference apparent, Tifa now had to slightly look up, " what are you doing up?".
" Nothing, hey remember I had told you that I was going to tell you something important in the morning, well since were both awake I might as well talk to you now, come follow me," Sebastien easily dismissed the question, he was good at that, then giving an order that no one could refuse. Tifa sighed, as she dragged her feet along the hall, as she followed her brother through two large glass doors at the complete end of the hall, their room doors no longer visible at this end.
Riona rolled to her side, and found that no one was there, her eyes opened grogily, she felt the room was cold, confusion started to build in her, she looked around the room, no one was there. Her brother's bed were all empty, and so were Tifa's, and her friends were missing also,' what was going on 'she thought. She threw the covers off, her legs shakily holding her up, she kept her arms around herself she felt that there was something very wrong.
The hallway was deserted, the lights were lower then usual, she felt this sudden urge to go towards the elevators, her instinct guiding her more then her mind. Her footsteps made a small echo as she walked, there was a feeling, like there was soemthing around the corner, her mind yelled not to look, yet her body kept moving forwards.
She would notice that hair anywhere, yet buried in it was a pair of hands, which were not hers, she now felt no hesitation to walk into the lounge, those hands belonged to a certain person who had tried to hurt, or even kill Riona on numerous occasions. There was Holly all over Kai who didn't seem to be objecting much, her lips firmly pressed against his. Riona felt her heart sink, she wanted to cry, but a sudden rush of anger erupted from deep down inside her," You WHORE! Get off him!", Holly let go of Kai, her smile made Riona's stomach churn, She could now see his face, it held such a blank expression, it hurt to look at him, he seemed to empty..., Riona felt tears stinging the sides of her eyes," WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!".
Holly's smile seemed to grow as she watched Riona struggle with herself, " Your friends were so easy to manipulate, there all with us now, and you can't do a anything about it, Boo hoo", Holly brought her finger to her chin, slightly swaying.
" You used one of those Psychic Bit-Beasts!" Riona yelled taking a step forward, her hadn reaching for something in her back pocket, a shining purple blade in hand, Black Drawnzer's power coursing through Riona, she attached th blade to her launcher.
" Oh come one Riona why don't you join us, or maybe your friends could tell you how great it is to be on the winning side, we could get over our differences you know," Holly took a step closer, her eyes seemed to hold mild insanity...nevermind complete insanity. Riona didn't say another word, she wouldn't let herself be taken over by the girl she hated the most. She turned to run, but infront of her stood someone she wasn't expecting to see. Someone who she new very well, someone who was her loyal teamate, blocked her path to freedom, her light green eyes, were a sick color, she seemed sinister, a grin that she would have never given Riona playing at the side of her lips.
" Rikku! No not you!", Riona gasped, behind her red haired friend turned foe, stood Rei, Tidus, Tyson, Max and Kenny, Kai joined them, all of them seemed empty, none of them had thoughts of there own, they no longer had a conscience, all they did was obey.
" Why don't you stick around for awhile," Rikku said, her voice rang in Riona's ears, it haunted her thoughts.
Riona couldn't form the words to answer back, she turned to go down the hall but found Rei blocking her way, she felt someone come up behind her, she suddenly felt the reflex to bring her elbow back, Tidus groaned, as he fell sloppily.
" Good job guys keep her mind distracted so that it's easier for me to take over her mind," Holly pulled out her own blade placing it on the launcher. Riona ears were all over the place, upon hearing her foe, she agily flipped backwards, she landed on the table that there blades sat on a few hous before, " Don't think so, you give me no choice, BLACK DRAWNZER!", her blade shot forward, her empty friends enexpectant as they run forward to capture her, " Black PHOENIX FLAME!" Riona ordered without hesitation.
The tiles that once covered the floor, took to the sky, they shattered into dust, the couchs were engulfed in black flames, the sound of shattering glass, echoed in Riona's ears, Holly wouldn't get her, there was something bothering her in the back of her mind, as Black Drawnzer caused mayhem, what did she mean by winning side, there was sides now,something that they had no grasp on was happening and they didn't know what it was, deep down she was very scared.
Tifa was almost thrown to the floor, the whole office shook, several pieces fell of the many shelves neatly placed on the walls. Most of the things shattered. Yet Sebastien sat there causally, staring out the window. He seemed unfazed by the sudden violent quake, " What the hell was that?"Tifa asked, looking around the room as she made sure that nothing would colapse on her head.
" Nothing, probably an earthquake," he said cooly looking at his younger sister, who glared back at him as if he were out of his mind, " Um HELLO, that sounded like a freaking explosion," Tifa pointed to the door, " I'm going to go check on my friends, you should go check on Patty, " Tifa anounced, she turned to walk to the glass doors, smoke had begun to seep through the thin open space between the two doors, she reached her hand out to pull the door open, but had a storng hand grip her wrist, Tifa winced slightly," That wont be necessary", Sebastien's tone, sent a cold chill up her spine. She turned her head to look up at him,her eyes met with his, ," I'm going to check on my friends!", She yanked her arm out of his iron grip, rushing forward before he could stop her, his words echoed in her mind, he wouldn't say something like that, what the hell is going on in here,she thought as she ran through the intoxicating smoke.
Riona lay on the floor in there room, her body hidden by the massive bed, tears streamed down her face, why was everything happening to them and in the space of two days, this was way too much emotional turmoil for her. The sound of footsteps, caught Riona's senses, her muscles tensed suddenly.
Tifa looked in, Riona's feet showing at the end of the bed," Riona?".
Riona raised her head over the side of the bed," Tifa.....is that you?" she asked her voice shook. Tifa looked at her friend, " No Ri i'm the gingerbread man, " Tifa rephrased upon seeing the look of terror on her face, " Of course it's me, now what the hell is going on and where are the others?",Tifa asked kneeling down beside her blond friend.
" Oh Tifa if you only knew", Riona cried throwing herself onto her friend. Something seemed to be coming through the growing smoke, two figures, came through. Tifa felt a wave of relief when she recognized the people, jet black hair, and yellow eyes, Kai beside him, without thinking she ran to him throwing her arms around him, " Rei! Your alright!".
" TIFA GET AWAY FROM THEM!", Riona cried out, getting to her feet. Tifa looked up into blank yellow eyes, she brought her hands to his chest and pushed him away, which wasn't sucessful, Rei gripped her arm, Kai the other, and they both shoved her to the ground, Tifa landed roughly on her side, her anger was slowly reaching it's boiling point, she clenched the carpet, " Holly's behind this isn't she...well you could tell her, SHE'LL NEVER GET US!" Tifa yelled as she sprung up from the floor. Riona ran up beside her friend.
" Well then i'm guessing your picking the hard way of coming along, fine with me as long as we get the job done, " Rikku stood in the hallway, bouncing her blade in her hand.
" You two have no way of escaping," Kai's voice pierced through Riona, she stood frozen in her spot, he spoke, to them so..., her thoughts were interupted by Tifa pulling on her arm, " That's what they think, as long as there some of us that are still sane, the world is fine."
Tifa quickly grabbed a nearby lamp, Rei and Kai were close, she threw it into the balcony window, the glass shattered to the ground, the cold night air rushed into the room, the wind blaring in there ears at such a high floor. Tifa dragged her blond friend out through the broken glass, Riona looked at her friend, who had climbed onto the railing, " I wouldn't call this being sane", said, her last word being slightly cut off by the sudden tug, pulling her off the safety of the balcony.
Two pairs of feet hit the ground heavily, both landing with great agility. Riona looked to the front of the building, no one was in the lobby, the receptionist was now gone.
" Seems like two little rabbits escaped, now causing me all this agrivation isn't helping your situation, it'll just make converting you more painful, although you'll be much better off once your like all your other friends".
The voice was tauntingly familiar, they had come quite familiar with the voice these past months, both girls turned to face the newcomer. Her bust was almost completely bulging out of her already tiny top, her stomach was almost completely exposed and her skirt was barely covering her behind, " Holly, Holly, Holly, it's two against one," Riona regained her tongue.
" I would think that you were smarter then that, I guess you never cease to dissapoint me, " Tifa smirked staring down the skanily clad girl.
" Think again babe."
Tifa spun around, " Jake", her eyes darkened.
" Gee now that you don't have your little boyfriend, to stop me from taking you back what are you going to do," Jake took a few steps before a new voice came into the conversation.
" Now is that any way to treat my little sister you stupid jock."
Riona almost cried out of happiness, Tifa immediatly ran to the voice, she hurled herself into his arms, " SEB!"
Holly looked at him in surprise, " Boss, what are you doing here...Tifa's your little sister?".
Riona felt a sick feeling in her stomach, as she looked at Sebastien, slowly remembering who " Boss" was exactly. Tifa blinked a few times, the words slowly seeped into her mind. She looked up at her brother who's arms she was still in, she shoved him roughly away, " What the HELL! WHY!"she yelled her hands clenched to her sides.
" And the plot thickens dear sister."
