EBONY

Well today's the big day. 'I wonder if it's too late to commit suicide.'

"Come on Ebony! You're on!" The teacher hissed pushing me out on the stage. 'Guess so.' I didn't look at the audience and just went with the play.

KAI

I was ready to be bored out of my mind but when Ebony came on the stage I couldn't help but stare. Mira had a great deal of pity and disgust on her face for Ebony. No wonder the drama class didn't mention this, if one word of this leaked out Ebony would've probably killed the perpetrator. Tyson looked shocked as did the rest of the audience who knew her. Hilary and the drama club's faces were unchanged and just watched the show.

Her dress floated behind her and the words flowed out of Ebony's mouth one syllable after the next. I couldn't help but watch in awe at her performance. As much as Ebony hated acting…she was born to perform. She hid her hate for this play behind the mask with which she had to act. I had never seen such emotion flow over her face before the way it did tonight. My heart pounded painfully against my rib cage, I looked beside me to see if Mira could hear it…but she was too busy watching the play.

An hour passed and the play was almost over. It was then I realised she had to kiss the popular bastard who was playing Romeo very soon. I made an excuse to leave Mira's side. She would be safe enough; Tyson and the others were seated around her hypnotized by the performance. I had to act fast if this was going to work.

The curtain came down and that asshole tried to put his hand in between my legs. I did the same only to crush his nuts in my hands. Boy did I smile when he yelped in pain like a wounded dog. "Try that again mate and I'll make you wish you never had these ok?" I whispered quietly in his ear. He nodded and held his aching nuts as I walked away to get a drink of water. I watched the scenery change from day to night. The drama teacher hissed at me to get back on the table and I saw the idiot had put a sash on his fucking face! Why the fuck would he do a thing like that? There was no time for me to take it off as the curtain was going up. "You fucking idiot! That's not even in the script!" I hissed.

MIRA

I watched on looking at the scene before Romeo was about to drink the poison and lay dead beside Juliet. How I hated this soppy play, thank god the two idiots die at the end. Shakespeare or no Shakespeare this play sucks to the ends of the earth. The curtain fell and a loud yelp was heard a few seconds later. Then it became really silent like something had happened. Then the curtain slowly came up and I saw that Romeo had a sash covering his face. Ebony looked a bit annoyed when she woke up but tried to hide the fact it wasn't in the play with great success.

I took off the material cursing the idiot who was playing Romeo when the audience gasped. I managed at great length to keep my composure as I looked down at the person beside me. Kai had managed to switch places with the popular git when the curtain came down and I went for a glass of water. I got on with Juliet's over dramatic death and made the kiss between Kai and myself last a bit longer than it should have. When the curtain went down he smiled and I smiled back. "Thanks for rescuing me." I told Kai as he sat up beside me. "I won't let anyone else be your Romeo."

The next day it was business as usual Kai was training with his team. They still couldn't believe what Kai did but he punished them if they dared to laugh.

News of Dr. Creed and his experiments vanished from Voltaire's office. It appeared he had broken his ties with that part of his life and is now getting on with other business. Whether they be good or bad Kai didn't care, just so long as it didn't drag me or Mira in to it. Mira was relieved when he told her this and she smiled for days.

We thought she would never leave and would've been more than happy to have her around…until Mira was with us at the park a few days later. A Limo pulled up and out came a very refined looking old woman. Mira instantly stood up and ran to her. "Grandmother!" She called hugging the old lady tight who was just as pleased to be reunited with Mira. Kai looked at the old lady and smiled a little. She wasn't like Voltaire and had a good relationship with Mira by the look of things. The team and I would be sad to see her go, but I had a feeling Kai would miss her the most. She was the last of his family after all, but like always, he hardly showed his emotion. She said goodbye to everyone in turn coming to Kai last of all. "Bye Kai, I hope to see you again soon."

"Whatever." He said. Mira frowned and looked a bit sad until Kai winked at the kid making her smile. "Bye everybody!" She called and we waved back wondering when we would see her again. Kai had gone strangely quiet for the rest of the training session and we all knew why. But he would never admit it.

Tyson and Hilary are getting on with their love life just fine. The future for me and Kai? I can't say anything about that really except that's another story. (Ok crap line to end it but I couldn't think of anything else to say. If you want a continuation then just say so. If not I thank you very much, I wouldn't know what to do next anyway. But I can take a bash at it if anyone wants to know.)

THE END!

Soriya: Finally! (She gasps lying back in her chair and stretching)

Ebony: I thought you'd never finish that thing.

Soriya: Me too.

Kai: Me three.

Soriya: Whatever Kai.

Tyson: Isn't that Kai's line?

(Everyone sighs at Tyson's stupidity) Tyson: What?

Soriya: You do know how to talk bull shit sometimes Tyson. Everyone says that once in a while.

Tyson: Hmph!

Soriya: Now that's Kai's line. (Hilary and some of the team laugh quietly whilst Tyson storms out the room)

Ebony: I thought he'd never leave.

Soriya: So true.

Hilary: Don't be so mean.

Ebony: You're always going on about how Tyson drives you crazy so don't talk to us about being mean.

Hilary: He's my boyfriend so I'm allowed to say things like that.

Ebony: I don't say things like that about Kai.

Hilary: Why?

Ebony: Because it's disrespectful.

Kai: I agree. (He held Ebony close and she smiled.)

Hilary: Hmph! (Leaves to find Tyson.)

Soriya: One less annoyance in the room.

Ebony: I couldn't agree more. Sometimes I really wish the same blood didn't run in my veins as her.

Soriya: Mira thinks the same thing about Voltaire.

(Kai looks distant and almost sad.) Ebony: You ok Kai? (Kai nods.)

Soriya: (Whispers to Ebony) I think he misses Mira.

Ebony: Oh, maybe it would be best not to mention her for a while. He probably still feels guilty.

Kai: What are you two whispering about?

Soriya: Nothing that would interest you.

Ebony: Uhuh.

Kai: (Shrug. Continues looking out the window.)

Soriya: Come on Kai buck up. The stories finished so try and be at least a little bit happy. (Kai doesn't answer.) Rrrr…he drives me crazy.

Ebony: Yeah, but he's great to have around.

Soriya: Especially if trouble comes your way.

Ebony: Mhmm.

Kai: Will you two stop talking about me as if I wasn't here.

Soriya: Well, well, well. Look who came back from dream land.

Kai: Hmph!

Max: Come on you guys can't we all just get along?

Soriya: This is Kai you're talking about Max. He doesn't get along with anyone.

Kai: That's not true! Mira and I-

Everyone: Huh? (Kai looks away pretending he didn't say that.)

Kenny: Rei, Max come with me. I need to upgrade your beyblades for the next tournament.

Rei: Ok Chief.

Max: Wait for me! (Runs out the door after Rei and Kenny.)

Ebony: You miss her don't you Kai?

Kai: She's just an annoying little kid. Why should I miss her bothering me all the time?

Ebony: Kai, you may be a good liar. But your eyes make you so see through its unreal.

Soriya: Pfff! There's no point in trying to get him of all people to admit he misses the kid so don't bother asking him.

Ebony: Then why did you make me his girlfriend?

Soriya: I thought you could make him crack and you have. But there are just something's he won't admit to anyone.

Kai: Well I…do.

Soriya & Ebony: What?

Kai. --;

Soriya: Are you trying to prove a point or something? Like your not the emotionless jerk people take you for?

Kai: Shut up! (Storms out the room)

Ebony: Hey Kai slow down she didn't mean it. (Soriya shrugs before shutting down her computer and following the team out the front door.)
