Chapter 2:
7 years later:
It has been seven years since their meeting that night. Divano had been right. They could find along just fine. Meanwhile they had started their own gang and Divano was the leader. Cause it had been her idea. Non the less...Kai was the co-captain. They had called their gang the "Blade Sharks". According to the fact that they crushed their opponents the same way. They banged the blade in the sky and then with a very accurate hit...they crushed it into small bits and pieces.
" Come on Kai I'm bored," Divano said. She sat down on the couch and crossed her arms madly. " Then go out and destroy a few blades," he said and sat done next to her. " Been there, done that," she said and sighed," don't you have anything you want me to do for you?" " Not that I can think of right now," he said and looked at her. " Fuck," she cursed and snorted.
Kai smiled. She had a pretty face when she was mad. Not that he was willing to admit it...but ever since he met her, he had been attracted to her. Inside he had been developing some certain emotions that they hadn't taught him at all. He knew that this wasn't right. That he might get hurt again when he showed it. That's why he was afraid of showing it. There were more reasons but that was something he rather didn't think off.
"Stand my ground...I won't give in
No more denying...I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it...someone else will stand my ground "
Suddenly he heard some footsteps coming closer. Someone was going to disturb them again. Like they always did when he was talking to her. Carlos sighed and felt a shiver going up and down his spine. He knew that he was in trouble if Kai was going to be mad. Then he was sure that he would loose more then only his beyblade. " What do you want Carlos?" Kai asked slightly irritated. " Well you told me that when Andrew was having a battle again...I could go out and destroy him." " Just go and don't come back till you're done. Oh and Carlos...next time when you disturb me...you're blade will be destroyed and that might not be everything you loose," Kai said. Then he turned his attention back top Divano. Thereby making clear to his team-mate that he had enough of this conversation. She was still having a sour look on her face. " Lighten up Div. I'm sure that he will screw up or something. Why don't you follow him? Punish him if he does screw up," Kai said. " In any way I like?" she asked and narrowed her eyes. " Sure girl. Just think of something you like," he said and smirked. " Ok then. I should be going as well," she said and stood up, " want me to do something else as well?" " No...I'll call you if I think of something," he said, " meanwhile I'm going to train."
Kai watched her retreating form with a small smile. Sometimes he still didn't understand that she was 2 years younger than he was. She was 17, he 19. She was 10 when they met. In the 7 years he knew her, she had developed a few more things, but that was something every woman did. Not that he minded that. He liked her and he knew that she knew that as well. She was smart enough to notice it. She knew what she was doing and that's what he liked so much. Attraction head entered him a long time ago. Strangely he didn't want to loose that feeling at all.
Meanwhile Divano followed Carlos. She hid in the shadows and watched his steps closely. She could breath down in his neck if she wanted to. If he would make one step out of line...he would be sorry. She would destroy him if she had the chance. She didn't trust that guy at all and wanted to kick him out of the team when she had the chance.
When they reached the place where the battle was held, Divano kneeled down and saw that he challenged a few guys. They didn't seem that strong at all. More like amateurs. ' Probably amateurs like I thought. You're being foolish Carlos. Even they can beat you,' she thought and closely listened to the conversation. In the end he won.
" Fuck," she cursed and growled fiercely. This was not something she had for seen. Then she picked up a few interesting words. " Tomorrow...sun down...riverbank," Carlos said and saw something white disappear in the corner of his eye. He knew who that was. ' The bitch. Just wait till I get my hands on you...when I get my chance of humiliating you in a beybattle,' he thought, ' you maybe Kai's little girl. But I know who you really are. I know your real personality.'
Divano quickly made her way back to the old warehouse where she and Kai lived for 7 years now. She entered the dark and quiet warehouse. She knew that he was around somewhere but lurking in the darkness and being silent as usual. " Kai I'm back," she yelled and lay down on the couch. " Good now tell me everything you heared and saw," he said out of nowhere. So she did. Divano was still mad about the fact that he had won and snorted. " Mmm...maybe he'll get beaten tomorrow," he said softly, " let's pay him a little visit then." " Sounds good. But remember what you have promised me," she said with a slight glare. " Sure girl. I don't forget that easily," he said and stretched himself. " I'm glad you don't. Well...I'm going to enjoy the sun on the roof," she said and got up. " Yeah I like that idea," Kai said and followed her " If that's what you want," she said and closed her eyes.
Upstairs she sat down onto some wooden crates, placed her sunglasses in front of her eyes and sighed. Her friend sat down next to her. Kai looked at her for a few minutes. Ever since he met her, he had been having strange feelings. Real friendship if that's what you like to call it. He liked her company cause she was the only one who understood him. He didn't even need to tell anything.
( flashback: 7 years ago)
"So your name is Kai huh? You have a place to stay for the night or what?" she asked. He frowned. Why would she ask that? She hardly knew him. " What do you care?" he asked. " I don't...I just wanted to know cause if you want you can stay here as long as you like," she said. He looked around. Well beauty isn't everything but it was warm and at least there were no leaks. " Sure why not? You live here on your own?" Kai asked, tossed his bag aside and sat down. " Yeah run away, but I'm thinking of starting my own beyblade team. Not that there is anyone really good enough to make it," she mumbled and looked at the TV. " Your own team huh? Still need members?" he asked. " What? You think you can beat me?" Divano asked slightly surprised. " I must say that you are good...but I'm better," he said and smirked. " Really? Shall we give it a shot?" she asked.
" Sounds good," Kai said and noticed the stadium in the corner.
" All right. I know you saw my match a few hours ago. That was only a slight impression of my power," she said, " so if you win 2 out of 3...you can be my co-captain if you like." Kai thought for a second. It sounded like a great offer. She didn't seem like someone who would hurt, abuse and betray him. He looked at her, right into her eyes. They weren't sparkling like a young girls should be doing. They shined sadness and more sad feeling. Exactly how he felt inside. " You bet I can beat you girl. I'm not like other bladders," he said. " I noticed. You seem like a challenge and you're cute," she said and smirked.
Cute. He had never forgotten when she had called him that. She wasn't a person who did that easily. And she hadn't done it again. But Kai knew that she was very serious about it.
" What are you thinking about?" she suddenly asked. " Our meeting," he said and stared at the sky. " Don't look so serious...makes you less cute," she said and sighed again. Kai turned his head towards her. Second time. Maybe...neh that couldn't be. " What?" she asked, " why are you looking at me like that?"
" Nothing," he said. She placed her head onto his shoulder and stared at the sky. " It's almost 7 years since I've met you," she said. " Yeah I know but I think we're doing fine," Kai said and looked at her. " That's not the point cutie. I just want to say that we're friends for a long time. And we both know that we find friends a weird thing," Divano said. " That's true," he softly answered. He knew that to damn well. That's why he liked her company so much. She didn't complain much like other girls did and more of that stuff.
