Sapphire Vixen
Author's Note-
Sun: I think you might know already what happened to me, so i'm not repeating it. Too embarrasing.
Odango, your nice comments make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! But your fiction is better!
On with Chapter 12!
Chapter 12: Unworthy and Unwanted
Kai blinked and stared down at her. Sapphire's eyes started to water.
"What do you mean?"
He held her in his arms, and she buried her head in his chest. She shook her head.
A maid walked in. She stood at the door entrance. They quickly seperated.
"Mistress, there is someone downstairs. He wants to see you." she said.
"Who is he?"
"I think his name is-"
She was pushed to the side, and silver-haired boy entered. Sapphire's eyes widened in horror.
"Hello, Sapphire. It's nice to see you again." he said.
Sapphire backed away.
"Who are you?" Kai asked, stepping in front of Sapphire, protectively.
The sliver-haired teenager smirked.
"That is none of your concern. Sapphire, I think we need to talk...don't you?"
They all looked back at Sapphire. She stared down at the floor, her silver-gold hair covering her face.
Two tall men entered the room. "Mistress? Do you want me to take him away?"
She nodded, and looked up at them. Then they grabbed the silver-haired boy by the arms.
"No."
They both looked at her. Then she pointed.
Kai's eyes widened. They let go of the sliver-eyed boy, and strode over to Kai, and grabbed him instead.
He yanked his arms away from them, and calmy walked outside. The tall men walked behind him, and closed the door.
"What do you want?" Sapphire snapped.
He slid his arms around her waist, and pulled her close to him.
She pushed himaway from her. His smirk grew wider,and let go.
"What do you want?" she yelled at him, backing away from him. Tears started to form at the corners of her almond-shaped eyes.
He pushed her against the wall, cornering her. She pushed him away from her, and he fell to the floor.
He stared up at her, surprised, and his lips curved into a evil smile.
Then he stood. "I've come...for you."
In the Guest Room...
Kai stood, staring down at the maroon carpet angrily.
"What happened?"
Kai looked up at Ray. He had a worried expression on his face.
"All I know is that...that boy..the one at the door, barged in when one of the butlers started to open the door." Ray sat down on the bed, and looked up at Kai.
"He came into the room...then Sapphire ordered me out."
Ray's eyes widened.
"I need to know what they are talking about."
A maid knocked on the door, and opened the door. She peeked in.
"May I get you anything?" she asked.
They looked up at her. "We don't need-"
"We will have two glasses of water, please." Ray said happily, cutting Kai off.
She smiled, and shut the door.
"I don't want anything." Kai said. Ray smiled.
The same maid came in, and handed a glass of water to both boys.
She excused herself, and shut the door behind her.
Kai stared down at the glass of water as Ray quickly drank.
"Hurry. Drink it."
Kai obeyed, and in one gulp, the glass was empty.
Ray stood, and quietly opened the door. He peeked outside, and closed the door again. He looked back at Kai.
"Follow me...and take your cup."
He opened the door again, and quickly walked outside. Kai followed.
The halls were empty. They ran upstairs again, and Kai pointed to Sapphire's bedroom door.
Then they heard heavy foot steps. Kai pulled Ray inside the room next to Sapphire's.
"Turn on the light!"
"There isn't any. And stop pushing me."
"There has to be-"
A small light flickered to life. They found themselves squished into a small closet. They listened as the foot steps faded away.
Ray crouched down, and pressed one of his pointy ears on the wall.
Kai crouched down, joining Ray.
"I can't hear anything." Kai said, standing up.
"My hearing is more acute. You use the cup." Ray said, pointing at the glass cupKai was still holding.
He stared down at the glass cup confused.
Ray took his owncup, and pressed the mouth of the cup onto the wall, and then pressed his own ear on the bottom of the cup.
Kai bent down again, and imitated. His eyes widened in suprise.
A thud was heard. Then a male's voice was heard...
"I've come...for you."
In Sapphire's Room...
Sapphire's eyes widened. She back away even farther, hitting the wall behind her.
"I'm not coming with you."
"I think you are. A green-eyed dove somewhere..." Sapphire scowled. She knew that he was talking about Emerald.
"...told me that you have new friends..."
He smiled at her, his silver eyes sparkling with malice. She glared at him.
"I'm not coming. I do not take orders from you...Not anymore." she murmured, staring hard at the carpet, avoiding his eyes.
He smirked again, and slowly strode over to where she was standing.
She felt him caress her cheek, and she slapped his hand away.
"Get out." she said, pointing at the door. She avoided eye conatact, her hair covering her face.
"Sapphire, you think I'll give you up to those idiots? You are your name...Sapphire..." he said, stroking her hair. "You...are my treasure."
"Get out." she repeated, panting slightly.
"Don't you understand? With you, i'm invincible. With you at my side...other beyblader's blades are just some pathetic metal spinning tops with little figurines. With you-"
"I don't want to! You'll just have to do it- without me. You think you can barge into my new life and order me around?" she yelled, looking up at him, glowering.
Then a loud smack was heard. Sapphire fell to the floor.
"And you think you can disobey your own master?" he said, pulling her up by her hair.
She smiled. Then she laughed softly. "Master? Not anymore..." she laughed again. "You're not worthy..." she said, a small smirk on her face.
He grabbed her by the neck, and slammed her against the wall.
"Really?" he let go of her neck, and she fell on the floor.
She sat on her hands and knees, and slowly looked up at him. Her bottom lip bled. "Yes...really."
He turned around, and headed towards the door. He stopped as his fingers curled on the brass door handle. He turned back to look at her.
"I'll come back for you, Sapphire. I'll come back...and take back what is rightfully mine. Meanwhile...I would be quiet about your little secret, because...we can't haveyour friendstake you away from me, can they? Only I must hold your power..."
Outside of Sapphire's Room...
Ray and Kai quickly walked out of the closet, and ran towards Sapphire's bedroom door.
Kai stared at the doorknob as it turned and the door opened.
They stared at each other for a moment. The sliver-haired boy smirked. They both were the same height. Their eyes were of the same color, silver. But Kai's were lighter.
"Who are you?" he asked, glaring at Kai.Kai crossed his arms.
"That is none of your buisness. Who are you?"
"Fei Nght." he said, smartly. Kai's scowled.
"I thought Sapphire wanted you to leave, didn't she?" Kai shot back, pushing Fei to the side. The he entered the room, and stared wide-eyed at Sapphire.
A red mark had appeared on her left cheek, and her bottom lip was bleeding. Her silver-gold hair was messed up.
She quickly wiped away the blood on her lip with the back of her hand, and stood up.
"Well, I guess I will have to leave now, my Sapphire."
Kai heard Fei say behind him. Kai scowled again.
Fei walked towards Sapphire again, and lifted her chin with his index finger.
He bent down, and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Kai's scowl deepened. A deep growl escaped from Ray's throat.
Fei pulled away, and turned to walk towards the door again. He smirked at Kai on his way to out, and left.
Kai looked back at Sapphire, and she angrily wiped away the blood on her lips again.
She panted slowly. "Kai...Ray...get out. Now." she said, and she fell to her knees.
Kai ran over to her, but she pushed him away. "Get...out." she panted.
He backed away, and slowly walked away from her. Then he left, dragging Ray with him. He closed the door behind him.
Sapphire panted a few more times, and fell fowards on the floor, unconscious...
