Sapphire Vixen

Author's Note-

Sun: Hi! I'm baaack!

Sapphire: And here I thought that hopefully she'd be gone.

Sun: (sob)Anyhow, I've gotten this story up to Chapter 22, so no worries. For now. I mean...unless the computer breaks...I don't really have backup...

Meh. I'll write it again.

Peanuts: Squee. (No you can't.)

Sapphire: Shut up. I'm having a much better week, i'm sorry if I worried any of you.So here it goes...

Me...I'm a very sensitive, yet... strong person. I'm kinda like Sapphire, I guess. I hate admitting i'm tired, or show any sign of weakness. I always say that I'll be fine doing something alone. I'm good at hiding my feelings. I may be smiling, but in the inside, I may be suffering, you never know. I may be happy, but that happines might just be a small clue that i'm slowly dying inside.

Anyways, I love to draw, they may not be good, but I still keep them for some stupid reason. Well, my little brother scribbled on two of my favorite drawings that I made. Of course, I sobbed for couple of minutes, but then I fixed my drawing. I felt so sad...over a drawing that I worked so hard for...only to find it ruined.

He never said he was sorry. But it doesn't matter to me. It's not like he will mean it anyway.

Crying won't solve anything, neither will anger. And it's not very easy for me to get angry. I may be thin and smaller than other kids, and I let them push me around, but I don't care. Someday they might realize how pathetic they really were. Or they might not. It's their choice. Not mine. You can't really change a person. Only they themselves can.

On that wednesday of that week, one of my cockatiels...well, he was sick, and his feathers were falling out. The veterinarian couldn't do anything for him. So he died. Her mate, a Grey cockatiel, is of course sad over that. But she's feeling a bit better over the time that has passed now.

And with a miracle,I passed through that week.

Oh, and sorry for acting so damn cold and solitary that day at P.E. on that Friday, Kat, so sorry. Yeah, I lied to you. I wasn't really tired. Just sad. Sorry for that. Thanks for being a great friend.

Okay enough of me, this Author's note was too long. I'll stop now, don't want to bore you...you haven't even read the chapter yet! So i'll answer reviews now.

Chapter 15: Trip to the Fair and the Crystal Blade Part 2

Meanwhile, somewhere far away...

"Master Fei?"

"What now?"

"Are you done yet?"

Fei slammed his hand on the desk. Emerald snickered. He turned around to look at her.

"Well...are you?" she said, smirking.

"No. I'm not. I'll tell you when I am." Fei said, grinding his teeth.

He turned back to his work. There was silence for a couple of minutes, then...

"How about now?"

Fei threw the closest object near him, a wrench, at her. She smirked as it passed right through her transparent-white stomach. Fei's mouth curved into a malicous smile.

"You'll actually feel the pain when i'm done, so don't worry."

Emerald smirked. "I doubt you'll actually pull it off."

Fei went back to his work. "Really?"

Emerald stared at the test tubes around her. "Maybe."

Fei turned back to look at her. "I've studied everything based on science...Chemistry. Geology. Astrology. Biology. Geography. Even Alchemy. And of course, everybody's least favorite: Mathematics. Everything has something to do with science. But mostly life science, of course. Yeah. I think I can 'pull it off'."

"Whatever." Emerald said, clearly bored. Emerald glided towards her glass tube, went right through, sat, and closed her eyes.

After a few hours, Fei finished his work. He smirked at his work. "Emerald...I'm done."

Emerald's eyes snapped open. She glided out of her glass tube, towards him. She stared.

On a stool, sat a human-looking robot. It looked exactly like Emerald. It had pale skin, sliver-gold hair, and wore a tight black suit with holes, displaying some parts of her body. Not even Fei could take his eyes off of it.

"Wow. You actually did it, you nerd. Now, how does it work?" Emerald said, eyeing the black material. "Nice. Leather."

Fei smirked. "Just enter it. You''ll be a perfect human. But better. It computer crossed with a human girl, and killing machine."

"Very nice." Emerald said, and glided inside. The robot opened her eyes. Then it smirked. She stood, and eyed her body. Her smirk grew wider.

"On the outside, you look like a human girl of fourteen, but inside, it's much more. Heh. Just like the real thing, right Emerald?"

Emerald smirked. "Sapphire? She's nothing more but a stupid idiot that flees everytime she faces a new problem." she spat.

"Back to you. Your right arm will turn into a blade at command. Your left arm will turn into a small knife, and all your fingers have sharp, long blades at the tips."

"Cool. Who's the great manicurist?"

"Be quiet already. I've also inserted a microphone that only you can hear inside you."

"You said I would be human. Ths feels human, but it's not, you bastard." she said, moving her fingers. She wiggled her toes, and moved her feet.

"It's not. I've just added extra things. You have feelings now, that was the most difficult. But you don't have blood, or a heart, or any kind of human organs. You only have emotions, feelings, expressions, thoughts, and the 5 human senses."

"How the hell did you do that?"

Fei smirked. Emerald rolled her eyes at him.

"Fine. Why the hell did you provide me with feelings and all that junk? It's not necessary in my mission."

Fei stared at her for a moment. "Don't worry about that. You control them completely, so stop complaining."

"And why do I need to eat?"

"Don't be stupid. Energy. Oh, you have acute hearing, speech, sense of feeling, taste, and sight. And yes, you do feel pain, so you will feel fatigue."

"Damn. Anything else?"

"Yes. One other important thing. Your advantage..."

Back at the house...

Sapphire fell backwards, onto the floor.

Her eyes widened. 'How did she get stuck with him?'

Kai's silver eyes darted to the window. He stared at the terrified look on Sapphire's face. She was looking at Dranzer. She stood, and backed away from the window. They all stared as she ran back to her room.

"Anti-Beyblade-itis?" Tyson suggested. Hilary bonked him on the back of his head. Dranzer dissapeared, and his blade jumped back to Kai's hand.

Tyson did the same. "What's gotten into her?"

"Well...Tyson might be right...she might fear blades...but that doesn't make any sense. They're all made of metal, right?" Hilary said, eyeing Tyson's silver-white blade in his hand. "...Right?"

"Sure, Hilary. Whatever." Tyson said, putting his blade away.

"Should we ask her what's wrong?" Ray said, putting his own away.

Kai stared down at the Dranzer's bit-chip. "No. She won't tell us." he ran his fingers though his hair. "Let's just ask her if she still wants us to stay."

They nodded, and went inside.

In Sapphire's Room...

"Maybe...it wasn't really her. So, just...calm down."

She paced around her room, staring down at the floor. She stopped, and sank to her knees. "Please. Don't be."

Then she heard a knock. She looked at the door. She stood, and opened it.

Kai and the others stared back at her. She waved. "Hi." she said, nervously. She noticed he was holding his blade.

"Coo..."

Sapphire's eyes widened. 'It is you.'

"Uhh..y-you...need something?" she gulped.

"Coo..."

"Do you still want us to stay? You seem jumpy..." Hilary said, staring at Sapphire as a droplet of sweat traveled down her neck.

"Coo..."

"I'm...ok-k-kay. " she said nervously. She fumbled with a lock of her hair. "It's fine if you stay."

"Coo..."

She couldn't ignore Dranzer's noises anymore. So she ran, pushing away Kai from her, covering her ears.

"I'm going out to get fresh air...!" she yelled, running down the stairs. Ray ran after her.

She opened the door, and slammed it shut behind her. Ray forced open the door, and then closed it softly. He ran after her as she pushed opened the gates.

"Stupid! Now they know! You idiot!" she yelled at herself, running faster. She didn't notice Ray behind her.

Ray caught up, and she gasped as he grabbed her hand. He turned her around, stared up at him for a moment, and hugged him.

Ray's Point of View-

I felt my face redden. 'This isn't the time.' I thought, and slid my hands around her waist.

"What's wrong, Sapphire?"

She shook her head. "I'm afraid to tell you."

I held her tighter. "Don't be. You can trust me. Please...tell me."

She lifted her head, and looked back at me. She seemed uncertain. Then she buried her face in my chest. She shook her head again.

"I can't...I...just...can't." she said, trying to hold in her tears. I sighed.

I hate myself whenever I see her do that. Even if I'm not responsible for it, I still feel like it's my fault that she's feeling miserable. That it's my fault that I don't do anything to make her happier.

"It's okay. But...you'll tell me someday, right?"

She looked up at me again, and smiled. Then she nodded. I wiped the tears that had started to form at the corner of her eyes.

"Thank you, Ray." she let go, and smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Do you want to go somewhere? It'll help you feel better."

She nodded. Then she reached in her dress pockets. She held out a long strip of orange tickets. "Let's go back to the fair!" she said happily.

I smiled and nodded. "Sure!"

We walked through the streets, and when we got there, it was dark.

"Ray...everything looks so pretty!" she said, pointing at the Ferris Wheel.

I nodded.

Nothing compared to you...

"Look at all the lights!"

It indeed was nice; the lights shining in the navy-blue sky.

"Which one do you want to ride first?"

"I don't know."

I glanced at the carousel. "How about that one?"

She smiled and nodded. "Will you come with me?"

"Sure."

Sapphire handed in our tickets, and she jumped on a white-silver horse with golden reins. I sat on the horse next to her, a white horse with silver reins.

We laughed as the ride started, and the horses began to move up and down to the beat of the soft music. The lights shimmered, making Sapphire's smiles even brighter.

When the ride was over, we ran over to the bumper cars. She laughed as I accidentally crashed on one of the walls.

"You okay, Ray?" she yelled at me.

"Yeah."

We laughed, and when that was over, we wandered around. I stared at one of the stands. There was gigantic polar bear as the biggest prize. It was enormous.

Idea? Maybe...

"Sapphire, can you go get more tickets? We're all out. I'm going to get popcorn. We'll meet back here, okay?"

She nodded, and ran off. I ran towards the stand. The object of the game was to knock down tree bowling pins off the stand three times. With a hacky sack.

"This might be harder than I thought."

I gave the teenage girl there the money, and she gave me 3 of the sacks.

'Just throw it as hard as you rip Driger...'

How wrong I was about my prediction. The girl stared at the hole in the tent and at the pins on the floor.

"Dang. She must be really cute." I heard her mutter. I reddened.

She picked up the pins again. A crowd started to form behind me.

I threw it again, and I made another hole in the tent. The people clapped behind me. I reddened even more.

"Just one more." she said, putting up the pins again.

I closed my eyes and concentrated. 'Just like how you rip Driger...' I opened my eyes again.

This time I made a hole between the holes of before. The crowd clapped again.

"Which one do you want?" she said, pointing up at the bears. "I'd pick the one with golden eyes, kid." she said, smiling. I nodded. She unclipped the bear, and gave it to me.

I smiled as I walked through the crowd. I walked over to the popcorn cart. I put down the bear on the ground.

"One large please."

The lady scooped up some popcorn, and put it inside a large bright yellow paper bag. I gave her the money, and she gave me the popcorn. I picked up the bear in one hand, and walked over to where Sapphire waited.

Normal Point of View-

She stared curiosly at the bear that covered Ray's face. "Uhh...is that you, Ray?"

He peeked over the bear. He smiled. "Yeah."

Ray put down the bear. "I hope you weren't waiting long."

She shook her head. "No. There was a long line. I just got here."

Ray pointed at the bear. "This is for you."

She stared at the bear. She pressed it's right paw.

"Hug me!" it said. She giggled. Ray reddened. 'I didn't notice that!'

Instead of hugging the bear, she hugged Ray, and he reddened even more.

"Thank you, Ray. Thank you for making me feel better."

"You're welcome. You want to go home now? It's getting cold." he said, his arms sliding around her waist again.

"Okay."

Sapphire quickly seperated them, and started walking back home. They smiled all the way to Sapphire's home. When they arrived, they opened the door. Everybody was there.

"Mistress! What were you doing out so late?" Riza said, looking over at the mahogany granfather clock. Kai, Tyson and Hilary ran down the stairs.

"Sapphire!" Hilary yelled out. "We were so worried! Where were you?"

"Out getting popcorn! I knew it! Arrest them!" Tyson yelled too. He snatched away the popcorn from Ray. "Give me that!"

He hugged the popcorn. "It's alright everybody...the popcorn's okay. You can all sleep with calm minds tonight-"

Hilary smacked him over the head. They all sweatdropped.

"Mistress, are you okay?" Riza asked.

"I'm fine, Riza. I'm going to my room now."

Riza nodded. Sapphire carried her bear up the stairs. Kai and Sapphire looked at each other for a few seconds as she passed by, and ran back to her room.

"Thank you for bringing her back, Ray-san." Riza said, placing one of her hands on his shoulder. Ray nodded.

"Please, just call me Ray." he said, smiling.

"Very well. Would you like me to show you to your rooms?" she said, taking her hand away, and looking at the others.

Hilary and Tyson nodded.

"Where...where is Kai-san?"

"Sapphire..are you okay?"

"Kai, leave me alone."

"Sapphir-"

"Kai! I don't want to talk right now! Go away!"

Kai banged his head on her door.

"I don't want to talk to you! Just...just...go away..."

He stared sadly at the floor. Then she opened her door. He looked up at her. He walked right in and hugged her.

She stared at his chest for a few moments, and started to push him away.

"Go...go away..."

Sapphire pushed at Kai's chest, trying to separate them. Kai's hold tightened.

"...go away...leave me alone...please." she whimpered. He slowly let go. She pushed him away from her.

He backed out of her room, and she slammed the door shut. Kai stared down at the carpet, his eyes covered by his bangs.

Kai walked back downstairs. Riza stared up at him as he slowly walked down the stairs.

"There he is. Well...If you're all kind enough to follow me..."

Sapphire sat on her bed, her face buried in her hands.

"I'm sorry...I'm-" She forced her tears in. She wiped her tears away with her bed covers. "I'm...sorry."

She stood, and walked over to her balcony. She looked at the city, shining with lights. She sighed.

"Maybe I souldn't have..." she wiped the tears that had barely started to form furiously with the back of her hand.

Then something in the bushes below caught her eye. It suddenly stopped moving. She backed away, into her room. Cold wind flew through the air in the room, making her shiver.

She stared through the glass window, but saw nothing.

'Maybe I should tell Riza...' Sapphire shook her head. But she went down to the kitchen anyways. There was a maid there.

"Mistress! Do you wish to have something?" she said, washing her hands in the sink.

"I just want a glass of milk, that's all."

The maid nodded. She took out a gallon of white milk out of the refridgerator. "Would you like cookies too?"

"No thank you. Just milk." Sapphire said, leaning on the counter.

The maid took out a glass cup out of one of the cupboards. Then Sapphire saw Kai walk by with a small sad look on his face.. Her eyes widened.

"I'll be right back."

The maid nodded, and she peeked from behind the wall. She saw him knock on a door. The door opened, and Ray peeked out.

Kai muttered something, and Ray nodded, letting him in.

"Mistress?"

Sapphire nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned around. The maid in the kitchen smiled sweetly at her.

"Your milk is waiting in the kitchen's counter."

Sapphire nodded.

"I'm going to bed, if you need anything, just wake me up."

"I'll be alright. Goodnight."

The maid bowed politely, and left. Sapphire turned back to Ray's bedroom door. She walked close enough to hear.

"...I guess she might have had a rough day. Wish I knew though."

"She told me that she would tell me someday."

"Hmm...I didn't even want to talk. I just wanted to make sure she was okay."

"She is, don't worry, Kai. I guess we'll have to wait..."

"...until she's ready? Hopefully it's soon. I'll leave you alone, Ray, sorry."

"It's okay. Goodnight, Kai."

"Hn."

Kai opened the door to find Sapphire staring down at the floor. His eyes widened.as he closed Ray's door.

Her hair was covering her face. She stood there, looking at the floor miserably, in her sleeping gown.

"Goodnight, Sapphire." he said, walking towards his room.

She looked up as he left. She ran up to him before he open the door to his room. She grabbed his shirt.

"Goodnight...Kai."

Kai nodded. He understood her small apology.

In the kitchen, fingers curled around the glass cup. She squeezed it, and the glass broke. The milk spilled all over the counter.

"Aww...how sweet..." two dark, cold green eyes peeked from behind the wall. "My, my...if it isn't the lucky blue-haired...I'm going to have lots of fun tonight...with both."

Author's Note-

Sun: I assume you guys know who it is, right? Take a guess, Sapphire!

Sapphire: The hot dog guy.

Sun: What? Oh, come on, Sapphire! How about you, Peanuts?

Peanuts: Squeak, squeh. (A very picky milk-man.)

Sun: Idiots. Well, hopefully you guys make better guesses than these two morons. Here's you preview!

Emerald smirked as Sapphire fell to the floor.

"Sapphire!"

She coughed up blood and stood, only to sink to her knees. Emerald panted, and sank to her knees also.

They glared at each other, both panting heavily. Emerald smirked as Sapphire wobbled.

Kai ran towards her. Emerald noticed, and yelled out, "Blade!"

Her left arm disappeared, only to be replaced by a sharp, long, metal blade. She stood, and stabbed Sapphire in the heart. Sapphire screamed.

Hilary, Tyson, and Riza gasped.

"Sapphire!"

Emerald took her blade out of her, the metal glinting in the moonlight, Sapphire's blood dripping off it's sharp edge.

Sapphire wobbled, and fell face forwards on the grass.

Sun: Poor Sapphire.

Sapphire: How many times are you going to try to kill me?

Sun: I don't know. But'm thinking many more times in the future.

Sapphire: What? Why?

Sun: It's fun! (giggles)

(Sapphire pounces on Sun)

Peanuts: Squeh squeak! (Please review, thank you!)

(The other two can be seen in the background, fighting)
