11. What Started Then Will Never End
Dealing with adult life, the loss of parents, friends falling out, injuries and hurt is all hard to bare. Add tests and the growing age of sixth form and Daemon Heights is what your outcome is. The Bandits and the Demolition Boys are all going through hell at 'Hell Hole Heights' and dealing with it differently. Will they get over their pasts, graduate and find love, or will the trash can at the bottom of the road be easier for them? Its not easier being 18 and hiding things from your friends is not the option you can take without digging yourself further into your deep secrets and pasts. Mostly Kai/OC, lots of OC/OC and implied Ray/Mariah and Tyson/Hilary.
Disclaimer: I only own the Triagons, Cassy, Elisa, Sabre, Leo, The Bandits, The town, the Mansions, Dojos, Houses, Horses, other Animals, Bit-beasts and Daemon Heights along with all the teachers and different people you have never heard of before virtually…I own a gold mine. The plots mine too.
Kai Phoenica: Wow, looong Review. So I'll give you a long reply too. Anyway, glad you thought it was good; I liked writing the punch bit too. And as I've probably told you, some when, SS is more like family and real life whereas WOTW is more beyblade. Oh and that poem, kinda forgot about it, plus I'd already written this chapter before I'd read it. And to counter it, the Beyblade characters in this story are my version of them, so that why they don't behave like they normally would. That way I know them best. Besides this is pretty much AU so why now have different personalities to go with it? Anyway, glad you like it, and can picture it happening, if u look on Katz Corner then there should be a rubbishy pic in the 'My Drawings' section. Oh, and stop doubting yourself, as long as you try it it doesn't matter! Besides, your drawings are good! Don't make me yell again. Lol. Ok then, long reply over then. Thanks.
Shafow wolf: Guess your gonna have to find out. Lol. Nah, they've already had drama and PE and should be in their second week of school now. Thanks for the review and here's your update.
LightintheDarkTempest: No worries about the 'late' review. I update about once or twice a week so everybody has time to review when they want to. I'm not pushing you. It doesn't matter. Yeah and I'll try to read it, I've got free time now. And you're not a dork! Lol. Thanks for the review.
MyOwnWoRLD: Glad you like the characters, I do to, lol, but of course I would. I like the name too, in fact, your in my world right now. Lol. Thanks for the review and here's the update. .
Wow, four reviews at once, I'm happy now, shame, cos I'm going back to school now. Damn. Stupid end of half team!
Listen up! After you've read this, why don't you go and find Kai Phoenica's fictions, Phoenix One and Copy Cat, give them a try too. You wont regret it.
Ok Guys, now after my extremely long rave, I give you chapter 11 of SS. Enjoy.
Flash Back.
The small girl walked warily across the playground. She glanced, afraid, at each step she took. Around her people were standing, talking to their friends. A few glanced in her direction, probably thinking about who she was. She didn't like those stares. Boys suddenly ran across her path chasing after a football. Only to run into a tall un-uniformed boy who smirked before telling them to either put the ball away or risk the football fields with the other bigger years.
The girl wrapped her arms around her torso protectively and glanced around again taking in the massive school and playground. To her far left she could see cars parked up in parking spaces and to her far right was the green grass of the playing fields. Sighing she lowered her head so her blue strands of hair fell over her face and began to walk towards the school.
''Hey, looks like we have another new kid.'' The small purpled haired boy said to his friends as they watched the girl walk across the playground.
''Probably in from another school.'' A lilac haired boy staring at the girl as she walked.
''Yeah, probably, they all seem to do that, just move in when they want to. Then act like they own the place.'' Said a blonde boy.
''This one looks scared though, not like those ponsy private school kids we always seem to get. Most of them act like they do own the place, but she doesn't look at all like she wants to be here at all.'' A red head said. He turned to the boy standing next to him with blue and grey hair. ''What do you think Kai?'' The other boy just watched as the girl walked but said nothing other than…
''She has a bit-beast; most private schools don't allowed Beyblading around here. She couldn't have come from one.''
''I wonder why she's here then? And where she came from?'' The red head said.
''I say we go and find out.'' The purple haired boy who had started the conversation said. The rest nodded before following Kai towards the girl.
The girl looked up as her path was blocked by shadows. Looking up she looked slightly scared as her eyes met with crimson orbs of the person who opposed her. The boy's eyes were blank as they stared into her black obis'.
''So then, your new right?'' The small kid with purple hair said from the crimson-eyed teen's side. The girl quivered slightly but nodded. She didn't like all this attention.
''So what's your name?'' The blonde asked. The girl didn't reply only turned to walk away.
''No you don't.'' The small kid said blocking her path. ''What's your name?'' The girl didn't reply as her eyes clouded with fear. ''Come on, it's only your name. It's not like we're going to use it against you.'' The kid whined. The girl shook her head and went to walk again. The kid growled.
''For hells sakes what's your problem?''
''Ian, leave her alone.'' The cold voice was heard coming from the team captains lips. The girl turned around and looked at him before hurrying off.
''Huh? What was with her? She didn't even speak.'' The blonde said.
''First day nerves.'' The red head shrugged smiling. Kai shook his head but the lilac haired boy spoke his words. He seemed to understand better than the others.
''No, the fear in her eyes, it was more than just first day nerves.'' The team captain nodded.
''She looks too scared.'' He said.
''So, new project. Find out what's up with girl and find out her name.'' Ian said.
''If you would go and sit at the back dear, near the window in that group if you please.'' The teacher said pointing to the back of the class. There sat four other people. Two boys, one with brown hair and one with black but both had brown eyes and two girls, one with blonde and brown hair and blue eyes and the other with brown hair and green eyes. The girl simply nodded and walked over to a desk right at the back of the room behind the group.
''Now class.'' The teacher called bringing everyone from their talking. ''I have put you all in group for an assessment.'' Many people moaned. ''I know, it's only your second week into term but it has to be done. Now, this assessment…''
The blonde haired girl turned back in her seat from sitting next to the other girl and smiled reassuringly at the new girl.
''My names Cassy. What's yours?'' She asked. The new girl just stared blankly at her before turning to look out of the window as the teacher continued to talk to the brick walls surrounding her as the rest of the class began to talk quietly amongst themselves. ''Ok then, anyway. You're new aren't you? Why did you come to Daemon?'' She asked. The girls eyes seemed to water slightly so the blonde, Cassy, looked sympathetic. ''I'm sorry.'' She said in a quiet tone. The new girl simply nodded, a small nod that was barely visible, and continued to stare out of the window.
''You'll be ok sis, you know that don't you?'' The girl nodded to her older brother. In front of her now were two twins. Both had equal build and the same caring brown eyes that their mother had had. One though had black hair and the other brown. It was long and messy and covered their eyes.
''Yeah, and if not, you can come with us for a while, I'm sure the teachers will let you.'' The brown haired brother finished from the black haired ones words. They now stood on the playing fields. Behind them boys played football and rugby in the summer sun whilst girls chatted and talked as they watched. The sky was clear blue and cloudless. The shade your only refuge from the sun. But even with the cheerfulness of the weather the girl was uncertain.
The two brothers were a year older than the girl; they were in year nine whilst she was only in year eight. They had already settled down, partly because they weren't affected by their parent's deaths as much as she had been. They hadn't been there, to see them die; they hadn't almost died from being there.
''You'll be ok sis.'' The brown haired one said placing a piece of her blue hair behind her ear again where it had fallen onto her face as he looked down at her. He sighed and stepped forward, hugging her tightly. ''We will get through this, you know that.'' The girl nodded as she wrapped her arms around his neck and hid her face against his shoulder. Pulling away she nodded again. Behind the youngest brother, if only by a few minutes, the older black haired twin looked mock hurt.
''So Fly gets a hug and I don't.'' He said turning away and crossing his arms, pouting. A few seconds later he smiled as he felt his shoulders encircled from behind. He lost his pouting pose and looks and turned in her grip to hug back.
''Sorry Phoenix.'' The girl said quietly. The boy smiled. His sister rarely spoke these days. She had already grown accustomed to his new nickname like name. He pulled away and looked down at her as Fly stood by his side.
''So, you wanna watch us and Alex take on the whole of year eight football team?'' Phoenix smirked devilishly. The girl looked confused.
''Who is Alex?'' She asked quietly.
''A friend, we were put in his tutor class and he was told to show us around.'' The brown haired twin said. He turned and looked through the crowds and waved slightly. Another boy with long brown hair dyed blonde in places covering his head waved back madly, yelling something that they couldn't understand. ''That's him there.'' The girl looked and nodded. ''Have you made any friends yet?'' The twin asked. The girl sighed and shook her head. The boy looked sympathetic.
''You will soon, I know you will.'' The black haired brother said. ''Now, are you going to watch?'' The girl declined with a shake of her head and the brothers sighed before bidding her goodbye and running off.
''So you have to suck up to your brothers do you.'' The girl swung round to the building they were standing next to. There, in its cool shade, stood two boys, probably in year nine or ten. One was very muscular and had short cut brown hair over evil eyes and the other had long black hair and was taller than his friend. The second smirked.
''Pathetic.'' He mocked. The girl just looked at him warily. ''Well, aren't you going to speak to me, or am I really that scary.'' He smirked. The girl quivered. ''It seems I am.'' He laughed slightly, it sounded evil.
''Let's see what you've got then.'' The brown haired boy walked over to her and took her bag from her shaking hands. She whimpered slightly as he opened it and drew out her mobile phone and wallet full of money. ''Oh, this girl's quite a little goldmine Dominica.'' The brown haired boy smirked pocketing the wallet and then tossing the mobile to his friend. The black haired boy just watched as the girl stood, frozen by fear. He smirked. This one would always be an easy target.
''Oh, a beyblade too. This could give us quiet a bit.'' The brown haired boy smirked holding up her silver beyblade.
''No.'' The girl murmured. First her parents and now her beyblade that her parents had helped, in some respects, to gain. No.
''Oh, so you can speak to us now.'' Dominica said, his black hair covering spiteful evil eyes. The girl looked at him.
''No.'' It was louder this time.
''Butch, just take the blade and give her her bag back, were going to see how much we can get from this beyblade of hers.'' The black haired bully said and caught the blade as his sidekick threw it to him. The bully called Butch nodded and chucked the bag back at her feet.
''Now scram.'' He ordered. The girl shook her head determinedly.
''Give it back.'' She ordered her own commands, her hands clenching into fists.
''No, we're leaving.'' Dominica said turning and walked away.
''I don't think you are.'' The bullies turned back to the shadows. The saw a figure shaded in black. Its arms were crossed and eyes closed as it leant against the building wall.
''And who is going to stop me?'' Dominica questioned. Red eyes flashed open.
''Kai Hiwatari.''
End Flashback.
''After that Cassy, Elisa, Sabre and Leo came up to me, and said sorry for not helping. We became friend after that; the Bandits were formed a few months later. Dominica and Butch never dared go near me or you until they skipped schools a few weeks later and I never really did like Ian after that.'' Kat paused and smirked. It was true, Ian and she had never been friends since that, and my team was only connected to hers by her or in competition but our friendships to the Bandits were only through Kat. I look across at her, my ice-cream now finished. ''Why were you there Kai?'' I paused.
''I can't really remember clearly. It might have been because we were determined to find out who you were, so the rest went off to eat and I went off to find you.'' He said.
''I'm glad you did. But attacking those two with Dranzer was a little much wasn't it?'' Kat raised an eyebrow at me. I smirked.
''They deserved it; besides, a week of detentions was nothing for what they did to you. They were going to take Whisper.'' She nodded and sighs.
''To be honest, if they had began to walk off with him, I think they would have got more than just a few stitches that you gave them. I would have beaten them to pulps.'' She said. I smirk.
''Whatever you say Kitty.'' She just smirks at me and suddenly I find myself pushed off the bench and on the hard ground. I growl playfully. ''You're asking for it.'' I say. She smirks and then I notice what she's doing as she sits still on the bench. Her skates are now firmly on her feet.
''That's if you can catch me Phoenix.'' She says quickly getting to her feet. ''Catch me if you can, Kai.'' And before I knew it she was already skating off down the path at super speeds. 'Phoenix'? I quickly put the ice-cream jars into the bin near the bench before sprinting after her.
''Come back here Kat.''
Kat turned the engine of her car off, pulling the key from the ignition and putting it in her jean pocket automatically, and rested her head back on the headrest. Closing her eyes she sighed. Better get this over and done with then. She thought as she got out of the car pulling her bag from the passenger seat as she did.
Turning and locking the car she faced the school again. Her eyes took in the huge building like it had done for the last five years. This year was to be her last here, and she hoped, even with the tests, that she would enjoy it. She also hoped that she wouldn't split up with the friends she had made when she had first came here before she left again. Even if Elisa had hurt her greatly…she already missed them all.
Crossing the car park and walking through the gate that led onto the playground she slung her bag onto her right shoulder and held it by its strap with her right hand. She glanced at the people who stared at her cautiously. What was wrong with them? They'd seen her before, and it's not as if an outfit change would have gained or lost her extra popularity. She growled slightly as she crossed the playground with long confident strides. Maybe the stares were just because of the bandages wrapping her arm and fists, she didn't care or know.
''Kat.'' The girl stopped immediately and turned to her name to see a teacher of all people walking up to her. The taller girl looked down onto the smaller teacher. Mrs Spencer was the one that had called her name.
''Hello dear, now I'm sorry for taking your time, I'm sure you'd rather be talking to your friends than to me but would it be possible for you and the Bandits to play for me soon.'' The teacher asked. Kat paused before shrugging.
''Give us an hour or two to think about it, I'll tell you at tutor time Mrs.'' Kat said.
''No, I'm in meetings at that time up until Thursday so can you tell me then?'' Kat nodded. The teacher beamed before noticing some boys playing football on the playground.
''Sorry about this, and thank you dear.'' He said before walking towards the culprits. Kat watched her go.
''If there still is a Bandits group we will.'' She muttered before turning and walking towards the school.
She drew over her name again like she hadbeen doing for the past few minutes. She had looked about before class a bit, but had decided that the rest of the sixth formers could handle the little kids by themselves. So she now sat at the back of her science class, ready for it to start. The teacher was already writing stuff on the white board but he had let her in as she was on her own so shouldn't cause trouble.
She sighed and went over her name again in her ink pen. 'K-a-t—T-r-i-a-g-o-n'. Behind her she heard the door open and the teacher stopped writing to see who it was.
''I wondered where you were, you guys are hardly ever separated.'' He said smiling, his browny grey hair short and stinking up like he had done too many static electricity demos. In other words it stuck straight up in all directions. The person at the door nodded.
''Yeah, I lost her sir, I was dealing with some year sevens and when I turned around again she was gone.'' Kat heard the voice say. Sighing she rested her head on her folded bandaged arms on her desk.
''The others are trying to look for her too.'' It finished. The teacher nodded and went back to writing. He had a few minutes left.
Kat was surprised when the stool next to her was moved along the ground nosily and a hand was placed on her bare arm. She felt the material of Elisa's gloves touch her skin. She looked up at her friends green eyes.
''Elisa.'' She said blankly. Elisa nodded and tried to smile. She sighed before facing the white board.
''I'm sorry Kat.'' She said looking down onto the wooden table engraved with numbers and letters, conversations of people, the all famous 'Tick if you are bored' sentence and a few odd science answers. ''I really didn't mean that. It, it just, came out.''
''Sorry doesn't work for me Elisa. You know that, everyone says it and they don't mean it.'' Kat said in monotone.
''But I do mean it; we can't let the Bandits split up just because of something stupid I said. I don't what us to break a friendship before we leave school that we stared when we all came to it. What we started back then can never end.'' Elisa said quietly. Kat sighed. That was exactly what she had said, or thought at least.
''Mrs Spencer came up to me a few minute ago.'' Said the older duel haired girl, watching as the Science teacher write in his smooth and big handwriting. ''She asked me whether we'd play, for what I don't know. But if you truly are sorry, then I'll say that the Bandits will play for her.'' She paused. ''We are playing.'' Elisa smiled and threw her arms around her friend's neck uncharacteristically. Kat groaned and pushed her off.
''Not in public, one it will demolish my pride and two, you look too much like Cassy.'' She said. Elisa blushed lightly before getting out her books.
''So Kai isn't here again, since Monday it seems, and that's it.'' Mrs Spencer said after completing the register for Thursday's tutorial slot. Everyone else wasn't listening though and was talking amongst themselves.
''He did this last year.'' Leo said.
''Yeah, but he comes back covered in bruises and cuts.'' Cassy said. ''Poor Kai.''
''He doesn't show it though. I wonder if anyone knows why?'' Elisa said. Kat shrugged. The Bandits, now reunited over the past four days, and along with Ry, sat at the back of the class near the window. A few meters away from them sat the Demolition Boys without Kai. They were obviously eavesdropping as they weren't speaking and Tala happened to answer Elisa's question.
''Even we don't know. He won't tell anyone. Although we have our suspicious.'' Kat nodded at Tala words as the two teams shared the conversation.
''Me too, he wouldn't do it to himself would he. It's someone else. He's not like that, but then again, looks can be deceiving.'' The Bandit team captain said.
''Not Kai, he wouldn't do that to himself; it's not his style. But then who would?'' Ian said. Kat just continued to look at the blackboard blankly. And, silently, in her mind, she vowed this year that she would find out.
''Now class, it has been decided between me and the head, Mr Dickenson, that you should all be welcomed back to school properly.'' Mrs Spencer said to the class as they quietened down again. ''So, Kat, is it alright?'' She asked. Across the classroom the blue and brown haired girl nodded. ''Well then, since I have the Bandits confirmation I can now officially say that this Friday, from immediately after school to 9 there will be a school disco/concert.'' The classroom was suddenly a buzz of noise. ''The Bandits will be playing but we will hire in a DJ for when they want a break. So remember your money.'' The teacher said enthusiastically. (Our head of year 9,(my year, for the last 8 weeks anyway) who this Mrs Spencer is based on, is like that with our year band, Vacant, they rock). ''Now, this tutor period we will be…''
''Hello, Jeeves, is Kai there?''
''Yes, this is Mr Ivonov is it not?''
''Wha…How did you know that?'' The butler smiled.
''You are the only person that ever calls Master Kai.'' Tala nodded and summed it up in his mind.
''Fair play Jeeves, so, can I speak to him?'' The butler paused.
''I have not seen him over the past few days since Master Voltaire has returned but I will try to put you though.'' Tala heard a beep before Kai's tired voice was heard.
''Tala.'' It was a weak and tired voice.
''Hum, you don't sound so good Kai.'' Kai sighed.
''I'm not 100 at the moment.''
''Oh, well, I was just ringing to find out whether you'd be at hell hole heights tomorrow?''
''Yeah, I'll probably be at school.''
''Oh, that's good, bring extra money though.''
''Why?'' Kai sounded slightly curious.
''Because we're having a welcoming disco and the Bandits are playing again.'' Kai paused.
''I should have known you'd say something like that. Ok, Tala I'm fine and thanks for the joke. But I'm not in the mood even if you are trying to brighten me up.''
''I'm not Kai, Kat and the others really are playing. Anyway, mum wants to use the Internet, I'll see you tomorrow.'' The phone line went dead. Kai sighed and placed his bedroom phone back in the cradle on his bedside table. He rolled onto his side, wincing as he lent on his cut arm. He sighed and closed his aching bruised black eyes. His arms were bruised along with his chest and legs. He knew a big cut ran across his chest and a deep wound was imbedded on his back but he'd dressed both well enough for them not to bleed him dry. He sighed and tried to lie down without causing himself pain.
Tala knew he had feelings for Kat; in fact his whole team did, besides Theo now, so no wonder they all teased him about it. Cracking open one eye, his unblackened one, he reached across to his bedside table and used the hi-fi remote to turn on his CD player. He'd recorded this a year or so ago, when the Bandits had played before. He was allowed to watch them practise as it was raining outside and he'd recorded it on his MP3 player. He smiled slightly as ''Back'' sang in Kat's voice came on. One thing he liked about her was her singing. He'd defiantly try to be in school tomorrow. He thought this to himself as he slowly drifted off to sleep again, his pain and worries gone.
''Come on Kai.'' Tala pleaded. The grey haired teen just crossed his arms covered by a long sleeved black top and growled.
''I've told you already, my martial arts mentor got past my block.''
''You quit martial arts months ago Kai.'' Tala pleaded. Kai growled before grabbing his book and his bag from under the table and got up and moved to another table.
''I give up; I've been asking all day.'' Tala said to the rest of the Demolition Boys. They'd all seen the bruise Kai carried. His eye was black and swollen. Little did they know that wasn't all that Kai had wrong with him.
''Hmmm. I'll be back in a minute.'' Kat said leaving the six-person table her and the Bandits were sitting on for English together as the class read and answer questions from a book in silence. Well, they were meant to.
''Where's she going?'' Ry asked.
''To try and figure out what's wrong with Kai again.'' Sabre said.
''She tries every time. Nothings come of it yet.'' Elisa finished for her boyfriend next to her.
I pulled the chair back across the carpeted floor and then sat down next to him. The teacher gave me a strange look but I just ignored it. I turned to Kai sitting involuntarily next to me.
''Kai?'' I ask. He looks up at me and I wince slightly. That is one hell of a bad bruise, even I haven't had worse. He smirks.
''I guess you want to find out why I was off too then?'' He says, I nod.
''Well then you can just bugger off. It's none of your business Kat. Just get lost.'' He says harshly. I just growl. I'm not at all intimidated. It's his loss after all.
''I will find out Kai. You just know it.'' I say before walking back over to my table.
''Excuse me Miss Triagon, will you please sit still.'' The teacher says.
''I was just getter a rubber Sir.'' I say. The teacher nods, not noticing that my palms carry nothing, and goes back to his work in silence. I glare back at Kai. I will find out. I vowed I would, and a Triagon never backs down, turns down a challenge or breaks a vow. I'm a pure blooded Triagon. To hell will I ever break those rules.
(I don't think I left it long enough for Elisa and Kat to make up, but I really couldn't think of any other way to delay it, besides, i need them back together to continue with anything anyway. Oh well, we all have our bad Writers block infested days, I guess when I wrote this I had a bad one. Review please)
