Chapter 16----------------- Dinner With Voltaire.
Rei stared down his two friends who were ready to tear eachother apart. He watched the two who were both on the carpeted floor of the room. " We really don't need to be fighting eachother when there are people trying to brainwash us. Actually they're all here in this castle. If we fight against eachother imagine how were going to be against a whole orginisation."
Kai looked up at Rei, his eyes still stormed with anger, but his friend's words held the truth, they had to remain unified. Looking back on the past few moments Kai was now feeling dumb about the fist fight he had just gotten into with his brother because of something he was entitled to hearing. After all Tidus was his brother, and he didn't know what it was like to be overlooked. He was the one in the spotlight, but it wasn't as bright as his brother thought. He would tell him one day, but right now the memories were too fresh and they had more important things to worry about.
Seeing that his brother had cooled his jets and that they had gotten too carried away for nothing he calmed himself down, taking slow breaths. Well it did feel good to express himself, just now was the wrong time. He guessed someting bad had happened, just never thought that he would react in that way.
The room stayed silent for a long while the three guys standing in the room which was a mess, broken glass, shards stuck in the carpet. Rei was still inbetween the two not sure if the anger that was there, was gone. A knock on the door caught his attention, he was worried that if he turned around both of them would jump at eachother, but saw that Tidus went to get the door.
" You boys sounded like you had a fine time in here."
A smile returned to Rei's lips seeing who was at the door, his girlfriend was leaning against the doorframe eyeing the broken glass that was scattered throughout the room.
" Hmm typicial boys room. Seem's like you guys didnt' like the initial decor. Mind if I come in?" Tifa asked just for the hell of it, closing the door behind her. Kai was still on the ground, and she guessed he had gotten into a fight with his brother. Who seemed to not have woken up around the same time as Rikku. " Hey Tidus your head hurting?"
He thought for a moment, " Actually yeah it does. I don't know if it's from Kai punching me in the face or the shit that was in those bottles," he groaned getting to the bed that looked oh so very inviting, and sat himself down.
Tifa had a bottle of advil in her hand and he was glad because all the throbbing he had felt before he passed out was back again.
" I always have to play nurse, " Tifa cursed running out of the room to fetch water. Rei watched her leave with a smirk on his face.
" I should get sick then, " he said as she walked past him, water and pills out for Tidus to take. She came up to him smacking him lightly under his chin with a mocking smirk.
" Maybe I wouldn't be so nice." She sighed suddenly remembering that she had Rikku to go tend too, and that was at the other end of the mansion. " Anyways if you need anymore you have to come run all the way on the other side, I have to go drug up Rikku."
" Wait," Kai stopped her before she ran out," Tonight my grandfather wants us all to go to dinner at one of his parties, there's going to be a limo waiting in the front at 8, he wants us to dress nicely."
Tifa listened before continuing her run back towards her room, this was going to be an interesting Riona would probably faint infront of Voltaire, but she wanted to meet the beast himself. Remembering Rikku was in pain she ran faster down the hall, starting the twisting journey back to her room.
Riona watched the small flakes fall the ground, the window seemed to be frosted, and that frost somehow reached her. She hated being so close to someone who probbaly hated her. That had found some way of hating her. People did that so easily when it came to her, they pictured her as the goody goody and would judge her as being teachers pet. Rikku's sudden groan of pain caught her off guard.
" God this hurts like hell where is Tifa!" she complained slamming her head several times into the pillow.
Riona lifted a blond brow, " I hope you know that hitting yourself even on a pillow would intensify the pain, and don't bug her, she's been taking care of you since we got here."
Rikku lifted her head, " She's going to be a mother sometime soon, I know it, she had those maternal instincts flowing, and she's also got Rei. So procreation is going to happen between...TIFA! HEY!" Her voiced suddenly went high pitched.
The brunette walked in looking at the two with suspicious eyes, " Procreation is going to happen between who?" Hey deep green eyes threatened without her having to speak a single word.
Riona smiled looking past Tifa, glad that someone was indeed at the door, and that it wasn't Voltaire was all the better. Instead it was Patty, which was holding what seemed to be three dresses. Coming up beside her was Mel...who dyed her hair to red. " Um what are you guys doing here?"
" Tifa, didn't you tell them?" Patty looked at the younger girl with a kind smile, " We're going to a ball curtosy of Mr. Volatire. It's a ball so we all have to dress nicely, and considering we don't have much time left we had better hurry up and get ready, we have to be there for eight!" Without wasting any time Patty threw their dress' on the beds.
" You girls better hurry up or else we'll get killed by the ugly old man. You don't want to see that Voltaire angry, it's like the earth trembles when he yells," Mel reminised about her past experiences with the man.
Tifa saw her nervous friend's face drain hearing about the man that was apparently petrifying, she gave Mel a glare, " I'm sure he wont do anything with Kai there, and not to mention all of us. Don't you worry Riona nothings going to happen, right now let's try on these pretty dresses that Patty brought."
Mel walked to the window, her head looking down on the snow covered land that lead to the front gates, she saw a line of limos, and the man she had previously spoken of walk into the long black car. He was indeed frightning, and as her gut feeling was pretty good on instinct, she had a very bad feeling about that night.
Rushing down the steps, the ladies of the group clutched at their capes that were made of warm fabric, high heels barely gripping at the steps that were covered in a thick sheet of ice. Patty saw Sebastien open the door to where the boys were waiting patiently. She knew her boyfriend was going to comment.
" Well look at that, you came one minute before we had to leave, now that is a record."
Tifa shoved her brother barging in between the two, " At leats it's better then being one minute late, I would have hated to see what you would have said then. " Feeling something cold run down her back, she knew that her loving older brother had taken some snow from the top of the car and let it fall onto her back. " Your going to get it brother, watch yourself." She threatened stepping into the limo.
The others came in quietly, Riona nervously sitting next to Kai, who didn't even seem to notice her come in. She soured, what was up with them. Tyson, Max and Kenny seem to be the only ones without stick up they're arses. She knew why she was nervous, they weren't the ones that were going to be served on a silver platter to the russian psycho! Her usual nervous tick started, her nail at her teeth, slowly getting filed down to nothing.
Kai saw through the corner of his eye that Riona was doing the bitting of the nail thing, which meant she was uncomfortable. He was so angry throughout the whole time they had gotten there that he never thought about how Riona was feeling. Meeting the devil himself, knowing her she was probably having a very rotten time with this. His hand reached out to touch hers. Seeing her make a jump, he looked over at her, " Are you alright?"
Riona looked up at him giving him a small nod, she didn't want him to snap at her, although she was pretty sure he knew that she was anything but alright. Even in the short time they knew eachother it seemed so easy for him to figure her out, on the other hand she guessed it would take her a lifetime to learn all about him, that was if it lasted that long.
Hilary tapped her fingers against her theighs at the tune of the techno beat that was playing faintly in the backround, " Alright I don't get it, we're going to a ball and all of you are quiet and look like we're going to a funeral."
Sebastien turned his head from the tinted window from which he was staring out of since they left the mansion. She was really an annoying one, and he was surprised she already hadn't gotten shot. " Hilary, have you listened to what I've said about our arrival in Russia. They are the people that work for my parents, Voltaire is an asshole. We are going to be mingling with the enemy, who when we start the championships want to bring us so close to death that we could be easily manipulated into doing what they want."
Hilary looked at him unimpressed by his speach, " So, why us? What do they want us to do."
Patty sighed, knowing that her boyfriend was going to let it loose on the airhead next to Tyson, who seemed to be in fear of his life, because of who he was sitting next to. She saw the look in Sebastien's sharp blue eyes, the only other person that had the same expression was his sister, and it didn't mean anything good was going to come out of their mouths when it was there. " Alright Hilary, we don't know more then that, and please just refrain from talking throughout the whole night like that you wont die at a young age."
With a huff Hilary shut her mouth, and turned away mumbling to herself.
Rikku sighed, really there was nothing they could do to loosen up with Tidus not wanting to see his grandfather, and Kai wanting to kill his grandfather. Then of course there was Hilary making comments that were anything but necessary. Deep down inside though she was nervous, Riona was giving her nerves a good racking. Voltaire sounded like a beast, and Kai being more quiet then usual, not telling her that she was a banshee was alarming enough.
Sebastien, who had returned to gazing out the window to watch the exciting scenery of snow covering miles and miles of land, pulled his head back to look his sister in the eye pointing at the large mansion that was getting larger in size.
Tifa brought her face closer to the window to see that it looked like a grand russian palace, cars were parked all around it, and they weren't just any cars, they were the cars that were worth more then some peoples homes. Riona was sitting right beside her, and she wondered how her friend was going to take it seeing the big man himself. Her face already becoming a paler shade as the limo came to a stop at the front. Tifa reached her hand out to touch hers, it was as if she touched ice with her bare hand, and Riona's expression said it all.
" Well out of the car and into the snake pit, let's go kick some ass," Mel spoke up before any of them, her being the first one out as soon as the driver opened their doors.
Kai locked eyes with his brother, and saw that Tidus was just as serious as he was, the fight they had before had brought them both down on a level where they agreed on not liking their grandfather. If that old man did anything to Riona he would kill him right there. He wouldn't care what the high class society of Russia would think of him, the people in there were nothing more then black market money hungry individuals. Taking a step out, he felt the air freeze over them. The frigid air that he was accustomed to all because of his loving grandfather. He could have spat on that if his words were an object he could have thrown to the ground.
Riona stayed next to her friends, she didn't know why but she was slightly frightened by the way Kai was acting, he was like some animal waiting to get inside and rip his grandfather apart, and if so she wanted him to do it before she had to walk into the palace. Seeing that Sebastien started to walk up the stone steps her feet froze and she gripped onto each of her friends arms tightly," Guys I don't wanna go in, please don't make me go in, it's not fair I don't want to die." Riona was mumbling without thinking, she was so petrified that her words were coming out almost as yelling, her voice cutting off feeling a more powerful hand grip her arm, peeling her off her friends." Noooooo let me stay with themmm," She noticed it was Kai, and he continued to walk with her linked onto his arm. She wanted to cry.
" Riona your going to stay next to me when we go in, and I promise I won't let him say a word." Kai's voice held finality that she could never in her life manage to build enough courage to refuse teh power of his words.
Feeling someone come up next to her Rikku knew that Tidus wanted her beside him, and although she kept up a brave front, it was his grandfather also and would probably give them Tidus hell. This was goign to be an emotional rollercoatser that was not needed, especially when her world was so filled with shit that she didn't need more piled on.
Watching the four walk up the steps, Rei walked up beside Tifa who was talking quietly with Mel as they waited for Sebastien to finish talking with the driver. Linking his right arm with her left, he caught her attention, " Well look at that I finally catch your attention."
She let a small smile wash across her glossed lips, " Well it's only because the amount of tension around us is constricting. Gawd I wish the tournament was somewhere else, and I wish you had paid more attention Seb to make sure the airport we left from had no ties with our parents. I hope you know, it was their plan for us to land in Russia, and I want to know why. What would it give them, you say that they can't touch us until we start the championships, I really don't get any of this!" She said making sure that her brother heard, which he did by the way he turned giving her that glare she was acustomed to receiving.
Patty knew as usual what was to come, Sebastien and his sister would start to argue and then something earthshattering would happen inside while they were gone. " Alright well I think right now the most important thing is to be in there with the kids, you know make sure that nothing happens," She said grabing the glaring blond's arm and guiding him towards the door.
Mel smirked walking alongside Rei and Tifa, who was glaring into her brother's back," Careful there Tifa you might burn a hole through his back."
Riona was now glad that he had taken up her arm, she was in an huge room, filled with hundreds of well dressed, wealthy people who were all chatting amongst themselves, used to the enviornment of ice sculptures and champagne fountains at almost every corner. Tables were set everywhere, and there was a particualrily long one at the end of the room. She needed to get her mind off the picture of her on a silver platter, being handed to Voltaire to be cooked and eaten, looking up the chandelier caught her eye, it was large and had many orbs of crystal hanging from the twisted ends of metal. Kai's sudden stop made her almost lose her balance on the heels she wasn't quit used to wearing yet. " Kai... what's the big ide-"
Kai's eyes narrowed, " Grandfather."
Rikku thought Riona was going to faint, and was ready to catch her even if Tidus' hand was gripping hers so tight that she thought her circulation was at zero. The man was terrorizing, he was tall and intimdating, his voice would even chill Tyson in heat.
" Well, my two grandsons actually came...with the girls that stole their hearts," Voltaire attempted to put a smile on his rigid face, a person would think his face would crack if the line of his mouth curved upwards anymore.
Kai already wanted to rip the man apart, he knew his grandfather had a hidden meaning behind what he said. he always did. " Are you done yet grandfather, I know you have to go entertain the citizens of high society."
Volatire's attempted smile sank back down to the line his facial muscles were used to, " Well I attempted to be nice Kai, but you don't seem to be as smart as your brother who keeps his mouth shut. Maybe I should have brought him to Russia instead of you."
Tidus gritted his teeth together, he had only seen his grandfather a few times whenever he came down to visit. Now he knew the reason why no one grew attached to the man. He wondered how the hell he actually had a family. Actually he wouldn't have called it family, all he had ever known was the only family he had was himself. " Grandfather, I would have never wanted to come with you, I know what you did, your a monster."
Voltaire gave them a smirk, " We'll talk more of this when we eat at the dinner table. Right now I have to go tend to my citzens of high society, as Kai puts it." He walked past them without another word, looking down on the two girls with burning dislike.
Riona felt it too, she felt as though she wanted to die when she saw who they had stopped infront of, all the air had fled her lungs as soon as she looked into the man's sinister eyes. A hand brushed up against her arm, she looked up to see that it was Kai's his expression had warmed, " Ye...yes?" she stuttered her mouth unable to function.
" Sorry about that, like I said if he better not dare try anything tonight or he will catch hell." Kai wrapped his arm around her.
Rikku let out a sigh of relief as Voltaire gained distance between them. That was a stressful situation that would probably come up again in the same night. After all the man had a nack for getting under people's skin. " You alright Tidus?"
" Yeah just fine, I think I'm going to get a drink." Tidus said his eyes following the man through the crowd.
Sebastien, and the rest had watched from a distance the small chit chat between Kai, Tidus and their grandfather, he was surprised on how composed the two boys were, he was half expecting one of them to give Voltaire a bloody nose. He looked to his side and saw that his girlfriend was oogling the decorations with his sister and Rei was watching them amused by how easily fasinated they were by shiny things.
Rei tugged on a curled strand of Tifa's hair, " You know what would be great, with that green color Riona's turning, it would be pretty funny if she hurled on Voltaire."
Tifa stopped pointing at the many ice sculptures, and turned to look at him with a grin that she couldn't contain, " I'm sure he would enjoy that, you silly tiger." She tugged on the long tail of hair that was now wrapped in a black material. " You could change it colors? Rei you need to get a pink one, you would look so cute." Rei gave her a look, it was the look that always made her laugh.
" Yeah, and gay," Sebastien slipped in noticing that Kai,Riona, Tidus and Rikku were back with the group, " Well that seemed to have been a lovely conversation between family members," he commented.
" Oh it was lovely, " Tidus replied sarcastically, really wanting that sip of champangne at the moment.
Riona still did want to hurl, and she had heard Rei's comment and it would not have been funny if that would have happened at least not in her books, but she didn't feel the need to empty her guts out until she heard a voice that haunted her as always.
" Riona look at that, fancy meeting you here with your boyfriend who is a bladebreaker. Look at you all dressed up, reminds me of the old days when we used to have those nice little parties with all the BBA members comming together talking about affairs and we would be around. Who would have known that the children would become part of it. After all the only reason you survived is because they trained us so well."
" Enrique!" The blond croaked out, immediatly feeling Kai's scarlet eyes boring into her, he wanted answers and she knew that at least.
Tifa chewed on her lower lip, feeling a tight grip on her arm. Rei was looking at her, but she wasn't going to look into the piercing yellow eyes, that would be the end of it.
Rikku's nails dug into her palms, " Your an asshole Enrique, you just want to start shit don't you."
" Oh I don't just want to, I love to and don't they have a right considering they're your soulmates an all, " He let out a laugh, watching the girls almost visibly squirm at the information he was spilling out.
Sebastien walked up to Enrique, blue eyes being mirrored, " I think it's better if you continued on with your buisness Enrique, you already stirred up enough shit. Move along."
He smirked, two ladies walking up beside him, one linking onto each of his arms, " Don't count on not seeing me again, we have so much to catch up on. "
Rikku felt Riona claw at her arm, and knew why, they were getting stared at by the whole team, minus Patty adn Sebastien who couldn't really do anything about it. " Why don't you guys fucking stop looking at us like that, it's not a fucking staring contest," Rikku swore trying to defend herself from them even if they hadn't spoken a word.
Rei crossed his arms walking up beside Kai and Tidus like that he too could look at the three very guilty looking girls, " I knew that it wasn't likely that a girl would beyblade, be capable of doing martial arts, be trained in weaponry, and was able to drive everything all on her own just for the hell of it."
Tifa crossed her own arms glaring straight back at the boys, who did they think they were. They hadn't told them anything about themselves, so why did she have to spill out her information. They could yell and scream, and use their size to an advantage but she would not break to anyone.
Riona really did want to cry, not only was Kai looking more angry then when they originally got there, she wanted to come up with something smart to say, but for some reason that night no words were coming out right.
" Well you know what, what we have to tell you concerns the whole team. So until they're all here we wont talk" Rikku said stubbornly watching Tidus' brows arch in surprise. She didn't care what they thought, at the moment the thing that mattered was her two friends and herself.
Kai took in a deep breath before, looking around, " Fine, we'll go find Tyson and the others. You three better not move or else." He couldn't think of a threat too many things were coming up all at once. Whatever they hadn't told the group must of been huge for Enrique to know himself. Not only did it envolve their families but the BBA? Trained them...for what. The more he thought about it the more frustrated he became.
Tidus followed Kai through the crowd, Rei behind him. They were going to find the rest of the group and find out what the hell was going on, BBA, all he knew about it was that it was a beyblading orginisation that sponsored the championships that was the full extent he knew about it. Whatever the girls were hiding was important information.
Letting out a frustrated groan Max gave up on getting Tyson off the cocktail table, where he was shoveling several things into his mouth all at once. Kenny stood beside him whiping his glasses which had gotten covered in the shrimp dip thanks to Tyson smacking them away. The exasperated blond turned to look aroudn for help, and found it coming right at them. " Oh Kai you have to-" Without another word being needed, Kai and Rei grabbed Tyson's shoulders and threw his to the ground. silver platters falling to the ground.
" Tyson get your ass up, the girls wont explain anything until the whole team is there, and that means you included unfortunatly," Kai said not paying much attention to the looks he was getting from the scandalised people watching.
Tidus looked around for where Hilary and Maryssa could be, he cursed seeing nothing but old people laughing fakely and saw his grandfather doing the same. They were all fake, and now he found out that his own girlfriend was keeping something away from him. He wanted to break something but had decided on not doing so after hearing the crash, and Tyson's yelling behind him.
Riona covered her face, tears were threatning to fall as she felt the stares of the people around her. " What are we going to do...my brother is here. He always always ruins things!" She looked up at Tifa, " Where did your brother go!"
The brunette already had enough on her plate, and her brother and his girlfriend running off did not help at all. If anyone would be able to defend them it would be the two adults that were no where to be found. Someone tapping her shoulder added to her annoyance, she decided this would be the poor person to get the full frontal assult, but the original words jammed in her line of thought. Throwing her hands up into the air everything came back, " Can there be more shit dumped on this pile."
Rikku's mouth dropped seeing who was standing there, " No... I don't think that's possible."
Tifa took a step forward getting into the handsome dark man standing infront of her with a smirk. " What the hell do you want before my brother and my boyfriend come and kick the everloving shit out of you Jake." She said as low as possible making sure no one would notice, and even though she used her brother and Rei in the sentence she didn't want them to notice either, especially not Rei.
Jake smirked taking a step closer, " Hmmm I remember when we were this close, not for the same reasons though."
The sound of a hard slap echoed in between the people that were standing around, Rikku gave a nod of satisfaction. " He deserved that."
" She should have kicked that mother fucker in the balls, " Mel commented as she walked up next to Tifa with a drink in her hands. " Holy shit I thought you were dead."
Jake let out a laugh, " I thought you were in jail, that's where you belong, with your kind. Crackwhores and ex-cons, wonderful friends you make Tifa."
Tifa grabbed onto Mel, before she cracked his head open with the glass that she was holding. She saw that Rikku had a bottle of unopened champagne in her hand and was about to whack him right in the head. She couldn't hold onto Mel and stop Rikku at the same time. Everything was a fucking mess.
Riona caught her witts grabbing Rikku's arm, " What are you doing your going to crack his head open!"
" Good!" The red head replied almost shoving Riona into someone, Rikku's mouth dropped seeing who had stepped up behind Riona. She had seen him before on the television battling Tyson in the world championships, his hair was crimson and his eyes held crazed hunger, for something.
Her blue eyes looked into those of the person she had fell, " Uh...eek" She felt herself get crushed against his chest. His hand running down her exposed back.
" Let her go asshole!" Rikku warned lifting the bottle towards him.
" Rikku come on now, is that how you adress people? Asshole? His name is Tala you should at least know that from working with your little friend Mr. Dickenson."
He gripped her shoulder tightly, making it ache. " Brad don't touch me ever again or I'll smash this bottle on your head."
" What is going on here, your attracting so many stare...s" Sebastien came back towards them, this time alone. He had gone to tell Enrique off but heard the smashing caused by the guys, and the rising of angry female voices which he was sure belonged to his sister and her friends. " What the hell are you guys doing here."
Jake put his hands up, " Hey we are part of high society, so we get invited to these things, you know esepcially when were so involved in that project that you were previously in charge of but remember nothing about because your a goody goody again."
Sebastien took a step up in his face cutting infront of his sister, " If i'm so goody goody, what will you say when your fucking teeth are going to be decorating the ordeuvre table behind you."
Tyson looked past Kai, who was waiting for his brother to come up to them with the two ladies, " Uh I don't know why you guys are angry right now at your girlfriends, but um Seb looks like he's about to bash Jake's brains in."
Rei turned around, " Jake! That piece of shit better not have touched her."
Being civil seemed to have melted away with the lovely encounters that were happening all at a grand ball. The people around watching, or trying to ignore the whole ordeal where now whispering and pointing at the tiny circle of arguing youth.
Riona still was in Tala's arms trying to squirm out. " Please let me go or else Kai..."
" Oh yes, you must be Kai's little girl, Voltaire told me about you, and how you made Kai loose that roughness that everyone used to love. I'm sure he would be very angry to see you in my arms. You in his best friends arms, he's already very angry with you imagine if he sees now."
Tifa shoved the crimson haired boy off her friend, Jake was being dealt with by Sebastien, and Rikku seemed to be under control with Brad up against a wall, the bottle ready to be broken on his head for the guys brave move of touching her shoulder. " Tala, why don't you go re-style your hair the devil horns are droopping."
" Punch anyone?" Patty cut right through the group handing cups to everyone, catching them completely off guard.
" Yeah I'd love to punch someone, " Tifa said glaring back at Jake who continued to have the smirk, she once thought was unbelievably hot.
" Voltaire would like us all to sit at the table," Patty smiled seeing an even more pissed off looking version of the male Bladebreakers walk up to them, " Look at that there you guys are. Its time for supper so please everyone at the table...NOW!"
He stood there with a grin watching them seat themselves Enrique and companie sat on one side, and Sebastien with people on the other. Voltaire saw that there was obviously some tension between the Bladebreakers and he would enjoy this supper greatly. It was going to be glorious. " Welcome everyone, it's so nice that we could all be together.
Tifa wasn't happy of sitting inbetween her brother and Rei, which she didn't even want to speak to but the guys had placed themselves so that her choice was either sitting there or next to Jake, which she would have loved to see her boyfriend's reaction if she sat there.
Riona needed something to fidget with and the napkin that sat on the table would be fine. She turned to look at Kai while his grandfather was talking. He had his eyes closed and his hand brought the beige drink to his lips, opening his eyes to bring the glass back down, she turned away not wanting to make any sort of contact with him.
Rikku was watching the fire on the candals flicker, when she felt Tidus staring at her. She wasn't afraid of him if he wanted to say something why didn't he say it before. " Whatever hissy fit your about to throw, now is not the time."
" Hissy fit! Rikku what the hell is this, first you keep something from me, and now look who showed up, your ex boyfriend."
Rikku wanted to laugh but decided against it, " Your jealous and keep your voice down. I hope you know that I think he's a complete jackass, considering I was about to crack a glass bottle over his head."
" Kai, Tidus, it's nice that I finally meet the girls that have taken you away from me. I thought you would introduce them to me sooner considering I'm the only relative of yours left."
Kai let out a cold laugh, " Really, you thought we would come running back to you to show off what we got. They aren't objects grandfather. We didn't need to buy them like you did, considering it was probably impossible for you to love anything."
Voltaire's mouth twitched, " Love, you keep talking about it Kai, you've become weak. Your useless I don't even know why they bother coming after you all. So what I had to buy my own wife, if I had fallen in love like you say, I would have never gotten all this."
Tidus looked at his grandfather with a building hatred, he hadn't spent much time with the man, but now he knew to the full extent why Kai hated him. "Oh you mean by acting like an asshole. Using people, destroying people's lives. Your own children and grandchildren." He stood up slamming his glass to the table breaking it to bits, " IF WE WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH YOU WE WOULD HAVE DIED LIKE OUR PARENTS. IT'S YOUR FAULT THEY DIED!"
Riona was sitting her back against the chair, this was almost too overwhelming with emotion and tension. Kai and Tidus were actually defending them. She thought that they would just sit and listen to what the man had to say and let her and Rikku be humiliated.
Voltaire was livid, it was chisled into his expression, " Well if your this attached to them then I'm guessing you've bedded them also!" He yelled into Kai's face, who seemed to have had enough shoving the table forward the waiters didn't even have the time to put any food on the platters.
" YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK US ANYTHING! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT US. YOU COULD CONSIDER US FUCKING DEAD!"
Sebastien was still sitting on the chair along with all the others, who seemed to be too shocked to do anything. He looked over at Riona who was crying into Rikku's shoulder. This was quite the show, and he was pretty sure that it would be told to everyone what happened there that night.
" SO KAI, YOU'D RATHER LIVE WITH THAT THEN INHERIT BIOVOLT, YOUR BOTH FOOLS. YOU'LL NEVER BE LIKE ME."
Tidus grabbed the table cloth pulling it to the ground, the fine china crashed along with the glasses made of crystal. " I NEVER WANT TO BE LIKE YOU! I would want to die before I became anything close to what you are," he finished his teeth tightly together, as his chest heaved.
Tifa was surprised Jake hadn't said anything, or the others neither. She looked at where her two friends sat, Riona in tears, and Rikku close. She wasn't scared of Voltaire, her eyes caught his and he gave her a a strange look.
" Anything you would like to pitch in Miss Tifa."
' How the hell did he know my name!' She kept herself seated or else she was pretty sure that she would pitch herself at him. It was true though, Biovolt had ties with her parents. Damn them, they all knew eachother.
" Oh Voltaaaiiirreee."
Kai almost wanted to vomit seeing Holly walk up beside his grandfather, placing a hand on his shoulder. She looked over at them, and he saw that his brother was making gaging motions.
" Oh look at that it's the bladehuggers." She smirked looking at them.
Voltaire seemed to have calmed down, " Holly what took you so long."
Flipping her badly dyed hair she gave a small smile, " Oh you know, my dress is so hard to ut back on."
Tifa had, had enough, that was absolutely nasty and she had to insult something, " I bet it was so much easier to take off. I mean your on your back most of the time, I guess clothing is useless for you. So instead of wasting money on clothing you could waste it on abortions."
" Ouch," Jake raised an eyebrow at his ex. " Kitty could bite."
Turning her glare she was ready to lash out on him, " I could yell at you too."
Rei couldn't help but smirk, she indeed did have a quick tongue( alright people lets not think in that kind of way. I KNOW WHAT YOU PEOPLE WERE THINKING!). The look on Holly's face was priceless also, he was pretty sure it was going to end up in a catfight though.
Enrique, Tala , Jake and Brad were laughing at Holly who was turning deep shades of crimson.
" What are you guys laughing at, you guys are the ones whoring around," She snapped.
" Yeah but your the whore who sleeps with old men just because," Tala hollared with laughter along with the rest of the guys, at Tifa's ongoing assult.
" I think that's enough! WHAT ARE YOU HOODED FIGURES WAITING FOR CAPTURE THEM!" Holly yelled having enough of being the object of ridicule.
Riona's heart stopped hearing what the whore with the bad dye job had just said. Looking at Sebastien he seemed to remain calm, " I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE CHAMPIONSHIPS!"
" I said they wouldn't, not that they couldn't!" Sebastien lifted himself from his seat, noticing that the people around were slowly panicig at the sudden entrance of what seemed to be hundreds of his parents hooded soldiers.
" Holly you slut, remember what they told us we weren't supposed to capture them now! It ruins everything you idiot!" Brad yelled over the screams of the old women.
The room was filled with hysteria. Holly glared at him, " What's the difference, now or then I don't get what they are pulling but you know what I bet they'll be very pleased if we bring them now. So, shut your fucking traps."
The Bladebreakers all standing up stood surrounded. Patty looked around for some way out and noticed that Sebastien had once again dissapeared. " Why the hell does he keep doing that! Fuck!" She finished seeing that all at once the hooded soldiers decided to attack them. She lifted her dress slightly and kicked on squarely in the face.
" Well I'm guessing the only way out is to fight." Maryssa stated looking around the room.
" That means using your fists Max," Tyson kidded.
" Yeah not your mouth," Max retorted catching Tyson off guard.
" Hey I am not all talk!"
" Well then shut the fuck up and help us plow through these assholes!" Rikku yelled throwing herself into a group of the soldiers, all of them falling like bowling pins.
Kai chewed on his lip as felt two of them grab onto eahc of his arms, ramming himself backwards both soldiers were sent sprawling across the floor. Out of the corner of his eye he saw that Voltaire and the rest were running off into the palace. He wanted to follow them but was brought back to reality when he felt a fist to the side of his head.
" Get off him!" Riona cried out throwing herself on the, much larger then herself man, she guessed it was a man considering if the woman was that size she would be scared.
" Now now Riona calm down, there is no way out so no use getting hurt."
She froze getting pulled off the soldier by someone, she heard Kai yell out in anger and felt herself falling, but was caught again. Looking up she say Tifa, " What the hell jsut happened?"
" TALA! You bastard never touch her again!" Kai grabbed his old team member by the collar, both of them falling to the ground. It was the second time he got into a physical fight that day, his fist came down getting Tala in the jaw, before he was on his back Tala ontop of him his fist almost getting him in the nose if he hadn't shoved his elbow into Tala's forhead.
Tidus stayed close to Rikku, not knowing where Brad was he was goign to make damn well sure that the piece of shit never laid his hands on her again. " Rikku stay close!"
" I'm trying but there are so many fucking, Ah Fuck!" she cried out falling onto her stomach something tripped her and she knew who it was when she saw the silouhette stand above her.
" Son of a bitch, Your exactly the person I wanted to keep her away from!" Tidus launched himself, now he and his brother both on the floor practically wrestling.
Tifa ran around using chairs and tables to hit the soldiers who just kept on coming. It was ridiculous, she couldn't see Rei anymore and she hoped that he was alright. She also hoped that after all the commotion that they would forget about what slipped out of Enrique's mouth.
" Well look at that, is that a stray kitty no where near anyone. Tisk Tisk, didn't your parents teach you not to move away from the pack."
If Tifa could have growled she would have, turning to face none other then Jake, " My parents didn't teach me much, but they did teach me not to talk to jackasses. Oh and look at that you seem to be one." His hand shot out slapping her so that he could grab onto her arm the second after. " You slap, I punch I thought it was supposed to be the other way around!" Tifa hit him in the gut, Jake bending over, she brought her knee up hitting his head sending him into the table that was behind him. Finally letting go, Tifa heard something. It was the sound of a loud truck...or something like that.
Without warning the wall gave in, a large bus coming through. Her brother at the wheel. " YOU LEFT AGAIN!" She hollared and arm reaching around her neck, the oxygen getting cut off.
" TIFA WHERE'S TYSON?" Hilary yelled from across the room.
Her teeth gritted together she tried to get words out, " I DON'T KNOW BUT WHEREVER HE IS I'M SURE HE'S BETTER THEN I AM!" Dropping to the floor she found the soldier that has previosuly choking her on his face. A hand was offered and she took notice that it was Rei's.
" You alright Tifa?"
She nodded seeing that her friends were piling onto the bus, a new wave of soldiers coming at them.
" WOULD YOU FUCKING HURRY UP, YOU'LL GET CAUGHT YOU IDIOT!" Sebastien yelled his head out the bus window.
Running up the steps Rei kicked the door shut not bothering using the actual mechanism to shut the doors.
" GET THEM YOU IDIOTS!" Holly's voice came from the top of the staires, she couldn't believe that all those soldiers couldn't get the Bladebreakers! " YOUR ALL USELESS!"
" Crap the bus isn't starting!" Sebastien cursed trying again.
" Well maybe you shouldn't have rammed the thing through a wall, then it might have started the first time, " Patty sat in the seat behind his tapping her nails on the plastic seperating their two seats.
" Start throwing things, they're trying to break the windows!" Rei ordered taking a random object and hurtling at the hooded heads.
" Eat THIS!" Rikku chucked a bottle of water, it splashed onto them, and she laughed maniacaly.
" EAT MY HIGH HEELS!" Tifa cried out triumphantly getting two of them in the face.
" EAT TYSON!" Riona grinned attempting to shove his large head through the window. She noticed Kai giving her a stern look, " Oh come on is he really necessary?"
" NO!" Tifa answered before anyone, she grabbed his legs and started heaving him, his cries of them being crazy falling on deaf ears. Rikku was up beside her pushing the other leg up.
The bus' engine came to life Sebastien yelling to the three girls, " GIRLS PUT THE TYSON BACK IN THE BUS!"
Gunfire came from the back of the bus, the backwindow shattering. Mel got to her feet running to the back where bullets suddenly started whistling by. " NOW THIS IS MY SORT OF FIGHT!" She reached for teh back of her dress, and there in the lace two guns were held tightly in place.
" Does this one always carry guns?" Tidus asked watching her retaliate with a grin.
" You know kinda like James Bond, gun under pillow, except for her it's like gun everywhere." Tifa said dodging another bullet.
The bus backing up through the large gap in the wall, Mel's shooting continued as Sebastien floored it and they were off to back to Voltaire's mansion to pick up some luggage. They couldn't stay there any longer, and by the looks of it Sebastien knew where he was going after that.
