Me: how many more chapters to go before the story ends? Hale: hmm… a lot more. Me: oh man… now that I've been sentenced to using the computer on days where there's no class… that'll take a long time… hope you guys will be patient enough to wait for new chapters for now, anyway, here's chapter 15.

Chapter 15: Losing Grip

"Uh… yeah… thanks…" Tala said shyly. Kai blinked again.

'There he goes again, hmm… maybe he does like Kaze,' Ka thought. They head someone clap. They turned to see a purple haired man with a mask.

"Very good Tala and Kai, but not good enough," the purple haired man said. Kai's eyes burned with anger and Kaze seemed afraid of the man.

"Boris!" Kai said angrily.

"I see you still remember me Kai," the man called Boris said. He turned to Kaze smiling evilly. "Why if it isn't Kaze, I see you've finally met your… brother, can I talk to you? Privately?" Boris asked. Kaze was scared of him but she slowly got up and went out the room with him.

"W-what is it master?" Kaze asked looking down. She was shaking in fear and Boris could sense that she was scared of him. His smile grew as evil as it could get, he loved seeing people cower before him.

"I'm just gonna tell you about the rules, I wouldn't want to say it in front of the rest, I know they're tired of hearing it again and again, there won't be any unnecessary relationships, like having a boyfriend or girlfriend, this institution couldn't afford anyone getting… soft, losing a beybattle to an enemy is absolutely forbidden, train harder and you'll become stronger, no one is allowed out the institution, only when it's necessary, and you must be merciless when fighting n opponent, understand?" Boris said.

"Yes master," Kaze said still looking down. Boris held her chin making her look up to him.

"You do know what will happen if you break even just a single rule Kaze," Boris said. Kaze's eyes widened as she flash-backed on what Boris did to her when she broke one of the rules. She couldn't say anything. "I take that as a yes, you wouldn't want that to happen again do you?" Boris asked.

"No… master…" Kaze said weakly.

"Good, now I'll have to leave now," Boris said letting go of her chin and left. Kaze stood there, her head bowed down. She fell on her knees slowly sitting down, her hands holding her skirt tightly as a tear fell from her crimson eyes.

"Kaze? Something wrong?" she heard someone say. She looked up to see Tala. She wiped away her tears sheepishly.

"Nothing's wrong Tala," Kaze said. Tala closed the door and stood next to her.

"Are you sure about that Kaze?" Tala asked.

"Yeah," Kaze said and stood up, leaning on the wall next to Tala. A left-over tear escaped from her eyes. Tala searched his pocket for a handkerchief. He found one and offered it to Kaze.

"Here," Tala said.

"Um… thanks," Kaze said blushing a little as she wiped the tear with his handkerchief. Kaze gave it back to Tala. There was silence for a while. "So… what're you doing out the training room?" Kaze asked breaking the silence.

"Well… probably to get away from the sound of beyblades crashing into each other I guess, you?" Tala asked.

"I was called by Boris remember?" Kaze said. Tala kinda blushed in embarrassment.

"Oh… yeah…" Tala said sheepishly. Kaze giggled a little, she thought it was cute when Tala was like that. Someone else opened the door, it was Bryan.

"Hey guys, why does Kaze look like she just cried? Tala, you made her cry didn't you?" Bryan said looking at Tala suspiciously.

"No! I-I didn't make her cry!" Tala said.

"Oh… Kai is gonna be so angry at you," Bryan said.

"Bryan, Tala's innocent, he wasn't the one who made me cry," Kaze said.

"So you admit that you did cry and something is wrong," Tala said. Kaze fell quiet.

"I don't want to talk about it guys," Kaze said and went back in the training room. Bryan blinked.

"What's wrong with her?" Bryan asked.

"I'm not sure Bryan, but I think it has something to do with Boris," Tala said. That night, Kaze was tossing and turning in her sleep because of a nightmare. She was in a dark place, all alone.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Kaze said. She thought she was the only one there until she heard a deep sinister laugh. Her eyes widened, she recognized that evil voice anywhere. "No…" Kaze whispered. She ran, ran as fast as she could but she felt like that someone was still catching up with her. "No! Leave me alone! I didn't do anything wrong!" Kaze yelled addressing to the voice. Something grabbed her leg making her trip. She turned not getting up and saw fierce red eyes. She started to cry knowing what 'he's' gonna do. "Please… don't do this… I didn't do anything wrong…" Kaze said. The voice just kept on laughing coming closer to her. "NO!" Kaze yelled and she woke up sweating. Tears started to fall from her eyes again.

"Kaze! Kaze what's wrong!" Kai said coming in the room. Kaze looked up to her brother.

"Kai…" Kaze said and cried on him. Kai hugged her in comfort.

"Kai? Kaze? What happened?" Bryan said rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah, we kinda heard some shouting," Spencer said.

"Something wrong?" Tala asked. Kaze blushed hard and looked away.

"Uh… guys? Maybe… you should put on some pants…" Kai said. the three blushed as hard as Kaze since they were only in sleeveless shirts and their boxers… you know how boys are sometimes. They rushed back to their room to put pants on and went back to Kaze's room to comfort her.

"What's wrong Kaze?" Tala asked. Kaze blushed because he was still in a sleeveless shirt.

"Nothing, just… a nightmare…" Kaze said.

"I'm guessing it was a really bad one, Kaze I'm starting to worry," Kai said.

"Its okay brother, you don't need to worry, just go back in your rooms, Boris might catch us," Kaze said.

"Hmm… all right then, come on guys," Spencer said.

"But—"Kai said but was interrupted.

"Kai, we should give Kaze some time alone, don't worry so much, she'll be all right for the rest of the night," Bryan said.

"Fine then," Kai said and they all went back to their rooms. Being the last to go out, Tala looked back at Kaze worriedly before closing the door and going to his room. They practiced a lot until Mr. Dickinson called them for the tournament. Kaze was in the middle of packing when…

"Kaze…" a familiar sinister voice said. Kaze's eyes widened as she recognized the voice.

"Yes master?" Kaze said.

"Even though I won't really be there, I will still know if you're following the rules or not," Boris said. Kaze bowed her head down.

"Of course master," Kaze said.

"Very good, we wouldn't want that 'punishment' to happen again do we?" Boris said. Kaze could feel his breath; he was really close to her.

"No master," Kaze said. Boris smirked.

"That's a good girl," Boris said and left the room.

"Kaze?" she heard someone say, she didn't really know who it was but she suspected it was someone.

"Please master, I need time alone," Kaze said.

"What do you mean? Master? Kaze it's me, Tala," the voice said. She turned and really did see Tala with a worried expression on his face.

"Oh… I-I'm sorry Tala… I-I just have so much on my mind lately," Kaze said. Tala entered the room and put a hand on her shoulder.
