Chapter 3
Birds threw themselves at the air, flapping there feathery wings to glide in the sky above. Like most other days, it was a normal day. Nothing special to celebrate. No holiday for a break. Business men gather up their things and throw off the suits they had previously bought. Unlocking their home to enter the welcoming atmosphere by their families. The busy streets were no longer busy, but deserted. Only those who have no choice stand out in the open, and some of those who choose to crawl around at the time when a grandfather clock chimes. This is there home, for the ones that are lost, unfortunate, and unforgiving. Their minds drift away to a paradise for the dwellers, and a nightmare for the stranded.
"I am a unfortunate soul."
"I am a unfortunate soul."
"I am a unfortunate soul."
"I will only be an unfortunate soul."
"Unfortunate, unfortunate, unfortunate..."

Natsuki didn't know what to do. She wanted scream, get away and just return home. Of course, not back to the abbey. Back home to her family, and into the arms of a loved one. But no. She was here, stuck in place where she could only run from. They would surely come back, back for her and only her. Disposing of the ones they did not need, the useless and weak. Exactly how they destroyed her life.
"Get away..." Kai kept his arm tightly around her. He didn't let go.
"I said get away!" Her voice was stronger this time. She couldn't be near him. It was suffocating her, slowly engulfing her body. The pain that she had hid in the farthest part of her mind has surfaced. She didn't know why. It just jumped at her, like it was almost waiting. Just waiting.
Kai saw as Natsuki struggled against him, pushing against his chest to pull each other apart. It was showing. The pain and anger that was burning inside. The ashes of happiness blowing away from the wind. Such delicate pieces.
He finally let go.
'This can't be...' Kai watched as Natsuki sinked down to the ground. Her knees were drawn up to her chest as she held herself protectively. He also found himself lost in his own thoughts. How he instantly thought of them, he didn't know. All he did know was that it was killing him. Just like how her memories were slowly killing herself.
"So I take it you like playing God?"
A smirk formed on red painted lips. "I am not playing God, I am simply guiding them." A hand hovered over a light purple orb. Inside the orb were two people. Two recognizable people.
A frown.
"I need him Nina. Do not destroy him."
Her eyes were concentrated on the orb as she moved her hand around it. "I cannot destroy him Boris. Besides, he will help me get what I want."
"That wretched girl's beyblade? What purpose would that serve you? We stopped gathering those stupid bitbeasts a while ago." Nina let out a faint laugh. Laughing at Boris's stupid words.
"You really think there still worthless?" Boris didn't speak. His eyes only narrowed towards Nina.
A wicked smile.
"The gem."
Laughter filled the air. Not the sweet enjoyable kind. An evil and haunted laugh. Something that would echo inside your mind and tell you that something was coming. Something possibly bad.
"Boris, If you help me, I will give you anything that you desire." This started to intrest him greatly.
"Anything?"
"Anything." He could have anything he wanted. Become king, and rule the world without the democracy now, and change it into a monarchy. He would be king, and the world would obey only him. He could choose to have ultimate power, or maybe just to simply... Disappear.
"You promise this?"
"If you get me that beyblade, yes. If you do not succeed , then no." His mouth curved into a smirk. He would get that beyblade. He would get it and make his wish come true. He turned around and headed for the door.
"Fool."
Nina tossed her purple hair around as she focused on the ball in front of her. The two were still there. In mental sadness and pain. She sighed as she hugged the orb pressing her face against the glass. Her finger traced the pained face of one. "Soon Natsuki, you will be mine."
Another vile laughter.
"This is not what I want."
"This is not what I want!" Natsuki shook her head. She was like a caged bird, no freedom at all. Always being chased by her fears, and always locked up with her memories.
"I just want to be free."
An empty cage.
"To start over."
A bird reborn.
"To be... Happy."
A single glistening tear.
"Why won't you help?" In front of her, a mirror stood. In front of it, she stood before it. Her reflection beamed at her, mimicking every one of her moves. In the mirror, her reflection just smiled, while she frowned.
It cracked.
"Why?" It did not defect near her face, it was not near her legs, nor her arms. It had cracked where her heart was and from the mirror a drop of crimson blood slid down from the glass. Blood.
It shattered. Pieces of the mirror flung towards Natsuki, but none of them had actually touched her. As the glass settled onto the ground, the pieces were stained in blood.
"Give me a golden goblet so I can drink that of this crimson nectar that has been welcomed here." A figure came from behind the frame of the now broken mirror. She had dark red colored hair and light blue eyes. Red and black garments adorned her body.
'She looks like me...'
"What?"
"I need that of your sweet nectar to have my eternal life."
"What are you saying?" The figure smirked.
"I need you Natsuki, I am the soul of your beyblade." Natsuki remained speechless. "You have freed me from that dreaded mirror, and I have long waited to quench my thirst with the taste of the sweet red nectar."
A step back from a psycho.
"Do not fear. I will help you with your troubles." Natsuki took the time to tink about this. Let this maniac drink her blood, or run away to who knows where in this... place. She hadn't noticed it before, but she was not where she was originally before. In the streets of japan and now in a world of mirrors.
"Get away from her Juri!" From above a person fell. She landed gracefully onto the ground with her indigo hair trailing behind. The person who fell glared at the other one before her with her aqua eyes.
"Who are you to command me Kirayu?" A hiss escaped her lips.
"You need to stop faking this act. You a jewel should know better!" Kirayu shouted.
"Who cares how I act!" Juri spat. She crossed her arms in front of her as she turned around, her back facing the two. "Like I care..." It sounded pained. Sorrowful singing or a cracked voice after crying, but something else was tinged in it. A secret just waiting to get out, a surprise ready to jump out of a box.
"Juri.."
"Shut up! Like you know how I feel!" Juri ran. Away from Natsuki and Kirayu and towards the deepest, and darkest part of her mind.
"Now, since I must tell you this quickly I will skip a formal introduction. I am your bitbeast, and there are people pursuing you and that boy."
"I already know that!" Kirayu's expression stayed the same. She did not look shocked, or surprised. It was like she knew Natsuki was going to say those words.
"Since we do not have much time, I will tell you. You must Not give away your beyblade. There is something precious within it." With that she disappeared along with the the broken mirror.
"Something... Precious?"
"Arrg!" Natsuki snapped back into reality as she saw Kai clutch his head and fall to the ground onto his knees. Sweat beaded his forehead as his eyes could not be seen from the hair covering them. Natsuki tried to ignore him, but in her mind she felt ones pity, and sadness. It was like somebody was controlling her thoughts, to think this way and that. "Stop.. please.."
Natsuki saw his face contort in anguish. There, right there, she felt it again. The same pity and sadness. His voice was pleading. To her ears she could hear every emotion through his words.
She couldn't take it anymore. She moved closer to Kai as her arms were open, letting him into her arms. His body was tense at first, but slowly it lessened. Kai's expression had changed back to a peaceful state, but on the other side Natsuki's face was full of--
Disgust.
I I I I I I I I I I
Oh my, oh my! Its been so long. My goodness! Look at all these stories that have piled up while I was gone! Ah! So mannnnnny! But whatever...
I know there wasn't much of Kai. Why? Because I want you people to know more about Natsuki! (blah blah blah)
Natsuki: Huh? They know me?
TKShuffle: Inside out!
Natsuki: I DON'T WANT STALKERS!
TKShuffle: ...
Well this was interesting to write... I hope you like it!
