Chapter 5

The next day was as normal for Kai as it could be. Through out it, he kept an eye out for Rose.

After lunch he had a half hour before his next class, so he got his team and they started walking outside to train.

On their way they heard a loud noise, it sounded like someone hitting a locker or slamming one. They followed the sound and peeked around the corner to see what was happening.

Rose was up against the locker with 5 men around her and April standing a few feet away. The men looked like body guards: tall, strong, etc.

"I'll tell you this one more time, stay away from my boyfriend!" April said glaring at Rose. "Your boyfriend? Huh....I didn't know Kai dated whores. Guess you really do learn something new everyday. I'll have to ask him about that." Rose said in a calm tone that seemed to be pissing April off.

"Grrrr....GET HER!" She told the guards. It happened fast. The men started punching at Rose, and she dodged them with ease. Then she kicked one in the side of the head, sending him to the floor and out cold.

Next she punched one in the ribs then did a back flip, kicking him in the chin. As for the rest, she kneed them in the stomach and elbowed them in the back of the neck. April was shocked and scared. Seeing her best body guards taken out so fast.

Rose walked up to April and staired her dead in the eyes. They were about the same height (A few in. shorter then Kai). "Let me make this crystal clear for you. I don't take orders from anyone, and I will certainly not start taking any from a snot nosed whore like you." She said glaring.

Aprils jaw dropped at what she just heard. "Why you....I'm warning you, stay away from Kai or else." She said before running away. Rose sighed and staired down. After a few minutes of this she turned and walked away. Ray looked at his teammates and asked "What was that all about?" "I don't know, but I think we might wanna find out." Tyson said looking each of them.

Kai said nothing. He knew what it was and he didn't want his friends to know, not just yet anyway. He stood and continued walking outside. He walked to the side of the school, soon stopped, took out his beyblade and launched. Dranzer was spinning so smoothly after he had changed some parts on it. Suddenly the bitchip flashed. Kai blinked and thought he was just seeing things, but it happened again.

*What the hell...* He stopped it from spinning and picked it up. His beyblade was heating up and flashing. Why he didn't know, nothing like this had ever happened to him before. He looked around to see what could be causing it. Looking up he saw someone on top of the school leaning against the the fence (The roof was fenced in so no one would fall off).

He noticed something bright blue on the persons shoulder, it seemed to be some kind of bird. *That looks like a bitbeast, But how could it be that small?* He wondered. The person moved their hand up and there was a flash of blue light. Kai held his hand up to shield his eyes from the light. Once the light was gone, he saw the bitbeast was too. *That person must have sent it back to the bitchip*.

Kai saw someone walk up to the person against the fence. Kai stood there watching and thinking who that against the fence person could be. He looked closer at them. *That uniform...It's a girl....But who..* Suddenly the girl was pushed over the side. She had a tight grip on the fence but Kai didn't think it would hold for long. Kai looked around for his teammates, *Damn, Tyson must have gotten hungry again and dragged the others off*.

He heard a loud BANG and looked back up. The girl had gotten shot in her right upper arm. From the pain she ended up letting go. As she started to fall, Kai knew who it was. *The one on the roof must be...April*. "Then the other must be...Rose!" He whispered. Kai looked to see where she would fall. He ran up to the wall, pushed himself up so that he jumped high enough, caught her then landed on one knee. He looked up to see if April was still on the roof, but she was gone.

He turned his attention to Rose. Her arm was bleeding and by the look of it, Kai guessed the bullet was still in there. He heard some people talking. *They must have heard the gun shot and all ran out of school*. He felt Rose start to stir in his arms, she was waking up. Her eyes opened and she looked at him. "Kai..." "Stay down, I'll take you inside and get the nurse to look at that arm." He said. He stood and was about to start walking to the front of school when she stopped him.

"You can't. There's a lot of reasons why and I'll tell you them in time." She said with a pleading look. Kai looked down at the girl in his arms. "Then where should I take you?" "You still have that card I gave you?" He nodded. "Head to my place, but don't go in the front door. We can go around the side and into my room from there." He thought about this for a moment then started walking towards his car.

Once Kai had driven to Rose's house, they walked to the left side of the mansion and went through 2 glass doors, into a dark room. As they walked in the candles and fireplace lit. Kai almost jumped at this, a little surprised.

"This is your room?" He looked around the room while asking. "Yes." She said looking at him. "Go sit down. Tell me where the first aid kit is, I'll get it." Kai said finally looking at her. She pointed to a large brown cabinet as she sat at the bottom of her bed.

Kai walked over and opened it. "Wow. Why do you keep all this stuff in here?" She looked over at him. In the cabinet there were swords, knives, daggers, pistols, shotguns, and a few other kinds of guns. "The sword's I train with. As for the rest I just like them." He opened a little door at the bottom and got the first aid kit.

He walked over and sat on her right. "You'll have to get the bullet out for me." She said as she took off her top. Kai looked away, he wasn't really sure about this. "Your shy about this." Rose said looking at him. "Who said I was?" Kai looked at her and couldn't help but see that see had on a black bra and on her upper arm, an inch maybe less above where the bullet was, he saw a rose tattoo.

Thorns went around her arm and on the side was a dark blue rose fully bloomed. He looked at it for a second then opened the kit and took out the tweezers. "Your not going to start crying and stuff from the pain are you?" "No, I don't feel pain like most people." A little while later Kai was setting the bullet and tweezers down on some gauze.

He then started to clean the wound and to his surprise Rose didn't move or say anything. She didn't seem to notice or mind at all, she just staired at the floor. It took a little while to bandage it. Once he finished, his cell phone started to ring. He pulled it out of his pocked and answered it. "Hello?" Rose decided to put the first aid kit back and change while he was talking.

She closed the cabinet and walked into her closet to change. A minute later she emerged dressed in black (A/N: See chapter one for what she's wearing). Kai was off the phone by now. "Tell me something, why didn't you mind taking your top off? Most girls would." He asked as she walked over to him. "I don't think it's that big a deal." She looked at him closely, he seemed a bit red faced.

*He's blushing.* She thought. "My friends were wondering where I went since they didn't see me in class." He said keeping his gaze down. "I told them I wasn't feeling too good and that I decided to head home and rest." Rose kept looking at him, *There's something different about him and I don't think it has anything to do with the lighting*.

"I'd better go, Max said they would be dropping by to check on me after school." Kai said as he started walking towards the glass doors, but once again she grabbed his hand and to stop him. "What is it this time?" He asked turning to face her. His face was definitely red at this. "I owe you for this." Rose said softly. "Whatever." And he left.

She laid on her bed, stairing into space lost in thought. *There was something different about him, but I can't seem to place it...* She laid there for hours before she finally got it. *The look in his eyes before he left....* She sat up. *It looked like he was concerned about me....And when he started taking the bullet out....* Rose looked at her arm.

*He was careful not to hurt me....* "Hmmmmm...What's going on with you Kai...?" She whispered to herself.

Done once again. *Keeps an eye out for writers block* Best hope it stays away cuz of if doesn't, it will be a long time before the next chapter. Thank you for the reviews ^-^
