Sorry for the long wait. I had lots of homework and other stuff kept on distracting me from this.


Kai's Bad Day

By Dark Ice Dragon

New Blader! Sue


Even with the… distractions that Kai had just been victim of, he was still able to get to the riverside without being late.

As he neared his teammates, Kai saw that there were two more people there than normal: Mr. Dickinson and a girl.

'Great,' Kai thought darkly. 'Did she win a competition and now she gets to follow us for the day?' He liked Mr. Dickinson, he really did, but if he kept on bringing squealing fangirls he was going to kill one of them. 'If she starts to ask about my 'relationship' with Ray or Tyson-'

"Ah, Kai, you've arrived just in time," Mr. Dickinson said happily. "I was just about to introduce your new teammate."

"What?" Tyson yelled. "But she's a girl!"

"Is there something wrong with that?" she asked coldly, emerald eyes narrowing into a glare.

"Ah, sir?" Kenny said tentatively. "We've already have four members and Kai usually doesn't battle. Isn't one substitute enough?"

Mr. Dickinson smiled. "No, it's not. Now, I have some buisness elsewhere. Goodbye." He then walked off before anyone could complain. Which was quite surprising since they were the only people there and they could have easily ran after him if they wanted to.

The next five minutes were filled with silence as no-one knew what to say. Well, Kai and the new girl didn't want to talk anyway but that was beside the point.

"So, um, what's your name?" Max asked curiously.

"Hikari." She crossed her arms, daring anyone to make a comment.

"Well, we'd better start training," Kenny said after another minute. "Who wants to start?"

"I will," Hikari said with a smirk.

Kenny nodded absent-mindedly, already getting Dizzi ready. "Tyson, can you be her opponent?"

Tyson grumbled but didn't disagree. He took his position on the other side of the beydish and took out Dragoon. Hikari took out a purple beyblade from her pocket.

"Three… Two… One… Let it riip!" they both cried out.

It was over almost as soon as it started.

As soon as both of the beyblades had landed, the purple one had charged at Dragoon and sent him flying out of the beydish. Hikari's beyblade circled the beydish once and then leaped into her awaiting hand.

"I'd say that proves that girls can be just as good as boys in beybattles," Hikari said icily.

Kai frowned at Tyson's defeat. He may have been overconfident but he shouldn't have been bested so easily. Not that Kai liked to admit it but Tyson was the best blader of the team. That meant that he was also acknowledged as the best beyblader in the world. To have someone of Tyson's calibre beaten so easily…

"So Kai, where have you been lately?"

Kai stared at Hikari. Well, that was unexpected. "Why should I tell you?"

She mearly raised an eyebrow. "Because I'm your teammate, that's why."

"And? I keep to myself. The original," Kai stressed the word, "Bladebreakers hardly ever know where I am most of the time."

Everyone saw Hikari bunch her hands into fists. "So just because I came later, I don't get any information."

"Were you even listening to what I just said? Do I have to translate into Tyson language?"

"Hey!"

"You're picking on my because I didn't join at the same time as you."

"You make it seem as if we made a team but joined at different times."

"You did."

"No, we formed out team at the same time and it's stayed that way… Mostly."

"See?"

Kai growled irritablely. "I left for a short time but then I rejoined them."

"Exactly, you joined at a different time than them."

"Do you have selective hearing?"

"You know," Max muttered to Ray, "I'm feeling kinda ignored here."

Ray nodded in agreement.

"Wow, Chief! Get out a stopwatch quick, I want to know how long she can get Kai to talk. This is the most amount of talking I've heard him do!"

"Dizzi…"

"You know what? You're even more annoying that Tyson and that's saying a lot."

"Kai! Would you stop bringing my into the conversation!"

Before the argument could escalate further, a distinct ringing noise could be heard. Hikari instantly dug into her pocket, pulled out a mobile phone, pressed a button and started to chat away. "Hello? …Oh hi! Are you alright? …What?" Hikari's voice suddenly dropped a notch. "She's dead? Yunalesca's dead?" Kai looked at her sharply. Yunalesca? That wasn't exactly a common name. What connection did Hikari have to her? "How? ...H-he killed her?" Hikari's azure eyes rose slowly to meet with Kai's. "I c-can't. I mean…" Slowly, oh so slowly, she started to back away.

Kai watched her as she tried to get away without looking too conspicuous. She was added onto their team when they didn't need her for no apparent reason. She could beat Tyson in a beybattle without breaking a sweat. She acted like him but could become bi-polar. Okay, that wasn't really a good reason but Kai had an excuse as to why he acted like he did and it would have been very hard to be bi-polar in that kind of environment. Lastly, she knew Yunalesca. He also had a distinct feeling he knew who was on the other end of the conversation.

Kai rubbed the bridge of his nose as the conclusion of his thoughts came together: Mary Sue. Why else would she be backing away like that if she couldn't be hurt by the Spork? Normal humans couldn't be hurt by it, could they?

-'No.'-

'Good.' Hearing Dranzer's answer, Kai started to walk towards Hikari.

"No!" she shrieked. "Stay away from me! You killed her! You killed my sister!" Shouting that last statement at the top of her lungs, she began to run away.

Dumbfounded, Kai couldn't believe that she and Yunalesca were related. Also, by Yunalesca's reasoning, that would make Hikari and Kai siblings. Just as he was about to run after her, he felt someone grab his upper arm and jerk him backwards.

It was Ray.

"What is she talking about Kai?" he asked quietly.

"It doesn't matter, it's not important to you," Kai replied, pulling his arm away. He'd be damned if he let this one get away. If he was up against a family of Mary Sues, it would be better to pick them off one by one rather than have them all attack him at once. Dealing with one was hard enough with his head becoming light and other side effects but if the entire family were better bladers than Tyson, he'd be screwed.

While he was thinking this and running away from his teammates, he didn't hear Ray's shout behind him. "It's not important? You've murdered someone!"

:-:-:

Sakura closed the mobile and shakily breathed in and out.

Hikari was safe. Kai didn't realise that she was a Mary Sue. Thank God she had left the Bladebreakers before he had arrived.

"She is unharmed?" a voice asked behind her.

"Yes." Sakura nodded.

"Good. Now, where is your beyblade?"

She winced. "I don't have it anymore. I had to leave it behind when Kai realised what I was."

There was a brief pause. "Do you have any idea how long it took us to find that particular bitbeast?" the voice asked slowly. "Can you even comprehend how valuable it was? A bitbeast that can communicate with humans through speech. That could be one of a kind. You can be made again and again; a bitbeast like that can't and you lost it?"

Shaking, Sakura whimpered. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't want to die. I didn't know that he had already killed Yunalesca. If I had known, I wouldn't have approached him."

"So… what you're saying is that it's my fault that you lost Trilox."

"No! No, that's not what I mean!" Eyes widening in fear, Sakura tried to take back her words. "I'm not blaming you. I'm not. Please don't … don't…" her voice wavered and trailed off.

"Don't what?"

"Don't kill me." Offending the person who made you, the person who could easily 'get rid of' you with a few choice words was verging on suicide.

"Why should I? You still have some use to me yet. However," Sakura felt slender fingers grip her chin firmly and force her to look up. Her glacier ice eyes fell onto the black eyes that met hers. His face was so close to hers that she felt his breath when he spoke. "If you fail me one more time, you won't see another day. Understood?"

Not wanting to speak out of fear or to look away from those eyes, she merely nodded. She hated it when he spoke like that. It was slow and whispered that you could feel the shivers going up your spine. For some people it sounded like power; others thought that it was like a shadow in the night. To Sakura and her family, that voice symbolised death.

:-:-:

'Please don't be following me. Please don't be following me,' Hikari prayed while running. 'This wasn't meant to happen! How could he already know? We've only just started!' She felt the tears starting to form. 'I should have known! I should have. When he appeared without Yunalesca or Sakura, I should have known then.'

She continued to run but when she thought she heard pounding footsteps behind her, she glanced over her shoulder. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was.

"No! That's – You can't have –" With her eyes still on the figure behind her, she didn't see the part of the pavement that was sticking out of the ground. She tripped over it and landed hard on her hands and knees. She scrambled to her feet but the figure was nearly on her already. "Stay away from me!"

:-:-:

"Stay away from me!"

Kai jerked his head at the sound. 'Got you.' He ran faster towards the shout. When he turned the corner, there as no-one there. Frowning, Kai stopped to scan the surrounding area. Who could make Hikari shout like that? Walking towards where he last heard her, he slowed when he noticed the smell of something charred. Looking in an alleyway, he saw a burnt circle on the ground. A breeze blew in from behind him and he saw scorched pieces of confetti floating down from the sky. Something on the ground caught the light from the street. Stooping to pick it up, Kai could see that it was disk wrapped in golden tinfoil. Bringing it to his nose, he sniffed it. 'Huh. Mint.'

Still a little curious about what had happened –but not overly so- Kai slipped the piece of chocolate into one of his pockets and left without a backwards glance.

:-:-:

'So, that's where they went,' the figure mused as he watched Kai walk away. 'Now, why was she running? Could it be because he knows? But he shouldn't, not unless…' He chuckled to himself. 'I see. I wonder how this will turn out.' Walking away from the scene, the man could only think wistfully, 'If only he hadn't come when he did, I'm hungry.'


Ah ha! Finished! After, uh, seven months… Yeah, my bad. I kinda didn't know what was going to happen. I finally get off my behind and the fic turns into something different. I really wanted this fic to be a lighthearted slightly stupid humorous fic but nooo, it decided to go for a darker route.

(sigh) Now I have to think about when the next chapter is going to start. And I don't know when it'll be out because of the amount of homework that I'm getting. Grr, mean teachers.
