Sapphire Vixen

--By SunFireVixen--

SunFireVixen doesn't own Beyblade. Only the plots she makes, Fei, Takato, Riza, Emerald, Aquamarine and Sapphire.

Woot! I'm back!

It's feels good when I update this story. I guess it's because i'm anxious of what people will say what they think of the chapter.

Anyways, you may have noticed that i've deleted Copied Hearts. Well, it's because I just didn't feel like writing anymore. Sorry about this. I might put it up again, though.

I'm still not out of writer's block. So when I finish the next chapter of My Guardian Angel II, i'll put it up. -crosses fingers-

bladebreakers- They were arguing of the situation in the morning, because Hilary said that they were.
Kai must have gotten the suspicion of Sapphire liking Ray instead of him while they argued.
XD I can't do that. I know i'm the writer, but still, I just can't have Fei simply drop dead. But that is a really tempting idea.

frosticdranzergal - XD
I'm sorry that you have it too. It feels horrible when you feel like you can't write and think of your stories as crap.
XD Thanks for the cookies. -gives you Sapphire plushie-
Squeeze her and she giggles! Here, have an Emerald plushie too!
She bites your fingers when you squeeze her tummy. XD

Shadw - Her name is spelled Mariah. And I don't think Ray even likes her. He thinks of her of a extremely close friend.

personne du monde - I haven't seen some episodes of Beyblade in it's first season. I've seen most of the beggining.
So I am sorry if things may not fit.

Kyogue - Thanks. Lots of people started stabbing it. -sob-

ghostymangarocker - o.o
Rei and Kai barely talk to each other throughout the series. XD
I've never seen Kenny's mum before. Well, I have, sort of. But it was a cut scene from GRevolution. Her hair is like Kenny's except we can see her eyes. Actually, we can't because she's smiling and her eyes are closed. XD
Thanks for saying that.
I gues it's okay. I'm not very happy about it, but I guess it will do.

storm-of-insanity - XD
We all know that Kai would never be interested in girls. No matter how cute or tempting. Well, maybe little girls, but in a friendly way. I can't imagine Kai yelling at a little girl. But I can imagine him doing that to a girl around his age. -shrug-
Have you read my e-mail?

Also thanks to Odango-chan and lil' angelgrl for reviewing! Thank you once again to everyone who reviewed! And of course to all who read my fanfiction.

Note: Anyone believe in foreshadowing? There's a tiny one that many will most likely miss. XD It's a small, little, weird clue of the ending, so try to catch it!

Chapter 28: Silence

Sapphire stared down at the brown haired boy. "What?"

She wondered how many times she had used that word in the last two days. She almost sensed the small boy rolling his eyes under all the thick mass of brown hair.

"I'm a year younger than you, know squat about love, and you're telling me that you didn't know that they were fighting over you?"

Sapphire took a step back. "There's actually something you don't know?"

Kenny growled furiously, and stomped inside also. "Well, I suppose it's not your fault you are so dense..." he muttered 'She isn't dense... she refuses to know something and admitting it's true.'

Sapphire glared at him too, and followed him inside.

"...but Ray-"

"I've made up my mind, Hilary."

"But why, Ray?"

"I can't answer that."

Sapphire stared at everyone, and said, "What's going on now?"

They all turned to her. Tyson spoke up. "Ray's going back to his home in China."

Sapphire looked at Ray. He avoided her eyes again. "Ray?"

"I'm going back just for a little while. Besides, I want to visit my former team, and everyone back in my village," he said, his amber eyes refusing to look down at her sapphire-blue ones. But he smiled.

She looked down at the floor, embarrassed that she had indirectly rejected him. "Okay," she muttered.

Kai stared from the other side of the room. Ray turned to look at him, and Kai gave him a curt nod and stared down at the floor. Ray smiled. Then he picked up a bag Sapphire hadn't noticed at his feet. They stared as he opened the sliding door and stepped outside.

He looked back at the rest. "I'll come back in a while."

Sapphire ran over to him. "I'm...sorry that...I just don't..." she trailed away, and stared up at him with sad eyes, finally meeting the deep pools of amber of his.

"It's alright. If you don't... feel that way..." Ray reddened a bit, but smiled, and quickly turned to walk again.

"Bye, Ray!" Tyson, Hilary and Kenny yelled at him as he walked away. Sapphire stepped back inside.

Hilary turned to look at her. "Sapphire, what happened? Ray wouldn't tell us anything."

Tyson and Kenny turned to look at her too. Sapphire stared at Kenny crossing his arms and tapping his foot on the ground. Kai leaned on the wall, his arms crossed, eyes closed.

"It's...personal. I'm sorry." she said quietly.

"Oh. Okay." Hilary said. Tyson stared stupidly at both of them.

"Hey, little homies! Why the long faces?"

Sapphire jumped in surprise. Tyson glared at his grandfather. "Not now, Grandpa."

"Well, the grub is ready, if any wants to dig in."

"What?" Hilary asked.

"It's translation to 'Breakfast is ready, if anyone wants to eat.'" He said stupidly.

They all remained silent. They all waited for the bomb to go off...

"FOOD!" Tyson realized, and raced barefoot into the dining room. Hilary, Kenny, and Tyson's grandfather sweat dropped.

"Wow. Didn't think he would last that long." Hilary muttered. She turned to Sapphire. "Don't you want food? I thought you would go crazy too."

Sapphire shook her head and smiled sheepishly. "I already had breakfast... seven bowls of cereal." she smiled sheepishly, and watched as Kai pushed himself off the wall, and followed Tyson into the dining room in a more proper way.

Hilary and Kenny followed Tyson too, Sapphire behind them. They entered the room as Tyson gobbled down his fourth bowl of noodles. Sapphire stared at him as he wolfed down everything.

"The noodles aren't going anywhere, Tyson." she muttered. Tyson looked up, his mouth closed, his cheeks obviously filled with noodles. Kai sat across from him, eating his rice quietly. Sapphire stared at him for a moment before sitting next to him.

She smiled at him. He stared down at her for a moment, and then continued to eat. Sapphire's smile slowly faded, and she stared down at the low wooden table.

Hilary joined Tyson and sat next to him, across from Sapphire. Kenny sat in the corner, his computer in his lap, focusing on the screen. Sapphire and Hilary grabbed a bowl, and started eating quietly. The only sounds they heard were the slurping noises coming from Tyson and the tapping sounds that Kenny made when he typed.

When Sapphire finished her second bowl, she stood up. Hilary and Kenny, and surprisingly Tyson looked up at her.

She was the first one to finish.

She excused herself before she walked out of the room. The sliding doors slid open, then they closed again. Kai didn't even look up, only stared as he moved his chopsticks in circles at the bottom of his bowl, the rice sticking to the ends. Hilary noticed the silence, and stood also.

"Excuse me." she murmured, and the sliding doors opened and closed again. Sapphire and Hilary's voices were heard through the thin material of the sliding door.

"...I'm fine Hilary..."

"...you sure?"

"...I'll just go back..."

"...Saph, he's probably just..."

Then the sliding door to the dining room slid open again. Kai still didn't look up.

"I'm leaving now, Tyson, Kenny...Kai. It was nice coming over." she said, her voice surprisingly cheerful.

"Bye Sapphire," Kenny said, looking up from his laptop.

"Later, Saph," Kai heard Tyson say between slurps. Kai said nothing.

The sliding door slid closed again. They heard her voice again, saying her goodbye to Hilary and Tyson's grandfather, then another door closing. A few seconds later, Hilary stepped into the room again. She took her place next to Tyson again. Kai knew she was looking at him. He could feel her angry stare.

Kai sighed, and slowly stood. He felt Hilary take her glare off of him. He walked over to the door. "I'm leaving." he said quietly, and stepped outside. They looked up at him, and nodded. Hilary smiled and sat closer to Tyson.

Kenny slumped against the wall. He stared at the computer screen, looking over Kai's stats, Dranzer's image, and beyblade parts.

Kai really is a determined blader. He is strong, and with swift movements, finishes every battle with his victory. But...

Kai is possesive...whatever he wishes he is determined to get it...and he won't let anything get in his way...

Sapphire walked at a soft pace, staring at the ground. She had felt uncomfortable near Kai's silence.

She stared sadly down at the ground, occasionally kickinga small rock or two, while her pale skin burned slightly with the summer sun.

She rubbed her arms, and looked up at the light blue sky. She smiled at the white clouds that had appeared during her time at the dojo. She sighed, and stared down at the floor again.

Love is difficult. And I... I feel bad for Ray... but I just... don't see him in that way. He's special, sure. He makes me feel happy. But I only see him as a really close friend.

I hope...I see him again.


Kai stuffed his hands in his pockets as he left the dojo. He walked in the direction of Sapphire's home, staring at the ground the whole time. Then he heard a soft tapping sound. He looked up, and saw Sapphire, walking in front of him.

Then he noticed a kitten on the middle of the street, meowing loudly. Sapphire noticed it too. She gasped, and ran to the middle of the street, and picked up the kitten. It mewled happily as she scratched her ear. Then she heard the sound of the car, and she looked up. She froze, and then she felt two strong arms picked her up.

The driver accelerated and sped away as both teens fell to the sidewalk ground.

Kai had tripped, and she fell too, holding tightly the kitten in her arms, her eyes closed tight. Sapphire slowly opened her eyes, and felt his arm around her. She sat up, the kitten still in her arms. She stared at Kai, holding her tightly.

Kai sat up, and released his hold on Sapphire. "You shouldn't have stayed there!" he yelled angrily down at her.

"I-I know... I'm sorry." she muttered, her eyes lowering.

He stared down at Sapphire. "You okay?" he said in a softer tone, yet cold.

She nodded, and rubbed her eyes. The kitten squirmed in her hold. "Thanks, Kai."

He gave a nod, and stood. He offered his hand to Sapphire. She stared at it for a moment, and noticed a large scrape on his arm. She stood by herself, and grabbed his hand.

"Kai...your arm-"

"I'm fine." he said, jerking his arm away. Sapphire stared worriedly up at him, and then looked down at the kitten. It meowed, and she smiled sadly.

Kai cupped her chin, forcing her to look up at him. Her blush rose, and he smiled, and pressed his lips against her own, in a soft kiss. His arms slid around her waist, pulling her closer-

"Mew," the kitten said from in between them. They froze, and quickly separated. Kai frowned.

Sapphire giggled. They had squashed the kitten in their embrace.

Kai glared at the cat. 'If only she had left you in the middle of the street...'

He smiled as he stared at Sapphire tickle the kitten .

'Yet...I wouldn't leave my kitten in the middle of a street...'

O.o
