Me: Please don't expect more from this chapter 'cause I took a longer time…(takes deep breath)
Tyson: She's cracking…
Me: I KNOW! I WANT DETAILS! DETAILS! MUST I SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU?
Tyson: Hey, I know how to spell details.
Me: Okay, have a go.
Tyson: D-E-TA-L-LS, see?
Me: O.o What?
Tyson: Wait a minute…D-E-T-E-A-L-S.
Me: Huh? Are you-
Tyson: D-E-T-E-I-L-S. Right? Right?
Me: Excuse ME. It's D-E-T-A-I-L-S, you dumbass. Anyway, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH KAI AND SORA? SOMEONE SANE PLEASE TELL ME!
Tyson: Well-
Me: I said someone SANE. You ARE NOT SANE.
Tyson: What's sane?
Me: (falls anime style) forget it.
Ray: Well, while you were away, we found Kai kissing Hilary-
Kai: It was the other way around.
Sora: (nastily) It's the same, isn't it? You were kissing her back.
Me: SHUSH! So what happened?
Ray: See…Sora happened to walk in and they…were caught.
Sora: Glad I did.
Ray: Then Hilary said Kai told her that they had broken up THEN she said Kai kissed Lorelei the day before-
Me: WHAT! Is it true?
Kai: Hn.
Me: You. Are. So. Screwed.
Tyson: (happily) Finally! Kai's now the screwed one! Not me!
Kai: (silence)
Me: Hell-lo? He just insulted you and you're…standing there? Just standing there?
Sora: No. I told him not to touch Tyson, or our relationship goes down the drain.
Me: Hey, I'm the one who writes the story.
Tyson: Sora likes me! SORA likes me! Sora LIKES me! Sora likes ME! (carries on)
Sora: (mutters swear words)
Me: I do not own Beyblade and- SHUT UP, TYSON!
Note: I'm not going to put so many POVs.
Sora never felt so betrayed before. Sure, she went through loads of cheating, lying, backstabbing guys before, but still, she was hurt. The blow was hard. "Sora! You're up." Kenny's voice broke her thoughts.
"Coming." She got up from the grass and walked over to the Beydish, clutching Guardian Driger.
"And you want go against?"
"Kai."
"Oookaaay…But no one has beaten him before."
"Hey, I defeated him once." Tyson protested.
"Yeah, 'accidentally' falling into the dish and 'accidentally' swiping Dranzer out. Coincidentally, missing Dragoon." Kenny said sarcastically. Sora attached G. Driger to her launcher.
"Hurry up." She snapped at Kai, who did the same to Dranzer.
"3…2…1, let it rip!" The two bladers stood silently, facing each other. No command shouted out. Keep your emotions intact. Sora remembered. She closed her eyes and listened to the clashing of blades and scratching of metal. Bring the opponent's emotions out. G. Driger glowed and slammed itself against Dranzer, nearly knocking it out of the dish. Kai gasped, he felt the impact. Taking the advantage, G. Driger executed its Heavenly Flame and Dranzer flew out of the dish, past Kai's face, grazing past Lorelei's cheek and struck the tree trunk.
"Whoa…" All eyes were on Sora. She simply turned around and sat down on the grass and closed her eyes. Lorelei fervently touched her cheek; there was a tiny cut. Everyone's eyes were glued onto Sora. She felt the tension and looked up, "What? Get on with it!" They quickly resumed to their work.
The next day, it was the American Beyblade competition. They got off the bus and fans immediately crowded round. "KAI! Ohmygod! KAI!" Many teenage girls screamed. Kai saw Sora roll her eyes at the corner of his eye.
"No wonder he can cheat girls." She wondered aloud. "He has a wide range to choose from." She walked ahead, ignoring the feeling of Kai's eyes boring at the back of her neck. The stadium was crowded with screeching fans and spectators.
"Who's up first?" Kenny asked his eyes glued onto Dizzi.
"Me." Sora said flatly.
"You and Kai?"
"Whatever." Reluctance dripping in her voice. The two mounted the stage, eyes avoiding each other.
"Mommy!" They heard Max call to his blonde mother. Michael and Rick stepped up to the Beydish.
"Whoa, Kai, nice eye candy you have for a partner." Michael called over, his eyes looking Sora over. Kai felt like going over and punching him.
"3…2…1…Let it rip!" Beyblades clattered onto the dish. Dranzer was about to attack Michael's blade when G. Driger cut in. Dranzer changed its course and ambushed Rick.
"This babe can't keep herself off me." Michael smirked. Sora ignored him and G. Driger poured on more force. Kai was infuriated. There was a loud bang and Michael's blade was lying on the ground, smoking. G. Driger sped towards Rick's beyblade and swiftly defeated it. G. Driger returned to her hand and she turned to go, Michael gaping at her. Then she turned back.
"Hey Michael." She called. His face perked up. She pointed her middle finger at him and he paled.
The next day, Mr. Dickinson called the Bladebreakers in. They shuffled in the conference room. Max bounced on the chair. Tyson slumped down on the chair. Ray sat up attentively. Kenny took his place next to Mr. Dickinson. Lorelei perched uncertainly on one chair. Sora threw herself on one chair and closed her eyes, reminding everyone of a CERTAIN someone. Kai, well, took his usual stance against the wall.
"I sense a certain tension between some of you." He started; his eyes fell on Sora and Kai. "Please work out with one another, this is all about teamwork. On another note, I need one of you to transfer to another team-"
"I'll go." Sora interrupted.
"Very well. The car will come and pick you up tomorrow at 10. You'll meet your new members for breakfast."
"But sir! We need six bladers for competitions, with Sora gone, we have only have five." Tyson protested.
"The Beyblade competition in China is different. You only need three bladers." Mr. Dickinson explained.
"Can I go?" Sora asked impatiently, now she could never stand being in the same room with Kai.
"Of course." Mr. Dickinson was surprised at her sudden change of behavior. She got up and left the room. "May I know what happened?"
"Long story sir." Tyson said warily. Kai pushed himself off the wall and silently made his exit. He heard curses and banging. As the scene came to view, he just had to smirk. Sora was hitting the vending machine with her ball-up fists.
"Cough it up!" She hissed, "Don't swallow my money!" She gave it a good kick and leaned forward until her forehead was pressed onto it. "Why does my life suck?" She moaned.
"Maybe I'm not in it." Kai replied without thinking. Sora spun around, her hazel eyes colliding into his sapphires.
"You? Ha! Like real." She muttered and punched the machine again. A soda popped out.
"See? When I'm around, everything works out." Kai smirked.
"Keep dreaming." Sora retorted, cracking open the tab, "I'm just pissed and it decided not to aggravate me further." Kai's smirk widened and he neared her, taking the soda from her and took a drink. Sora scowled and turned to leave. A hand slipped into hers and she paused. "Let me go."
"You're still wearing it." He eyes trained on her wrist and neck. She followed his gaze and mentally kicked herself for not removing the bracelet and necklace. She shook him off, removed the necklace and held it out to him, her heart mysteriously hurting. "What?"
"Take it back, I don't want it." She said emotionlessly. Irritated by his silence, she took his wrist, dropped it onto his palm and closed his fingers on it. He in turn took her wrist again and studied her palm closely. Sora realized he was looking at the pinpricks and cuts. His hand reached into his pocket and drew out the wristband. They stared at each and Kai slipped it through his wrist.
Soar pasted a surprised look on her face, "Wow, a record." He sighed.
"Will you listen to me now?"
"Listen to you because you put the wristband on? Ri-ight." She backed away and headed to the lift. Unfortunately, he followed her into the lift.
"You don't know the full facts." He stated clearly.
"Full facts? You kissed my ex-best friend AND my enemy who's too dumb to get my name right. What's it called?" She pretended to think, "Oh yeah, downright cheating. Get it? C-H-E-A-T-I-N-" Kai cut her off by capturing her lips. The teen did not know what hit her. He pressed her against the wall and her fingers tangled in his hair. The tongue hockey was intense but short lived. Sora came down to Earth and shoved Kai away. "What the fuck?" She cursed.
"Face it. You wanted it. Liked it. Desired it. So why stop?" He smirked her flushed face and took advantage of the situation, sliding his arms round her waist. She softened for a while, and then hardened.
"Must it slap you in the face?" She demanded. "I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again."
"Admit it. You do." The lift abruptly opened and Sora made a quick exit.
The next morning, Sora looked round the suite. 'Guess I have everything.' She pulled open the door and exited. She bumped into Kai at the lobby. "Going so soon?" He asked in the soft way that used to melt her, now it melted her inside but she showed no emotion.
"Yeah." She shifted the strap of her shoulder bag higher. He stepped closer hesitantly and tilted her chin up. "Bye." She said firmly, backing off. He looked pleading but she straightened and walked out of the hotel.
I had to turn to your friend
Now you
want me to come back
You must
be smoking crack
I'm going elsewhere and that's a fact
Kai entered Sora's old room and tried to catch her last presence. His eyes, glancing around the room, caught a leather book on the table. He picked it up and slowly turned the cover over. It was a journal. He scanned several pages and finally reached the latest entry. It was written the day before.
Why does my life suck? And why was it so beautiful when he was around me? God, sometimes I wish he would be as perfect as I hoped he would be. Maybe he is but I just won't listen to him. I mean he hurt me. A lot. Don't know whether to trust him. Trust takes years to build up and minutes-seconds- to break. The trust just isn't there, not anymore.
He's just so handsome… But isn't that just the problem? Every girl that watches beyblade likes him-and they throw themselves at him. I'll never know if I can trust him.
True love is a fickle thing. What if he meets another girl he'd like better than me? What then? Even worse-if he falls in love with Lorelei? It'll be double the pain, again. I don't know if I can go through it, not another time. No. If I guard my heart, he'll never hurt me again.
But then again, isn't it better to have loved and lost? Fuck, the person that said that didn't feel the pain.
I can still feel his lips and body pressed against mine. Shit, I'm addicted. And I hate him for it. Why do I feel this for a guy, a playboy at that? What if I actually listen to him? But what if he just wants to explain-No. There I go again, building castles in the air. Kai Hiwatari just destroyed mine, when he broke my heart.
If you ain't
there ain't nobody else to impress
The way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat my heart skips when I'm with you
But
I still don't understand
Just how the love you're doing no one else can
God, I need to stop DOING this. I need to get away. Soon. Now. Mr. Dickinson's offer came just in time. I don't know if I can take this anymore… Not when I have to stare him in the face every freaking day. I need to get over this. Him. Lorelei. Everyone. Everyone acts so understanding. Oh I know your pain, oh get over it. No, they DON'T know the pain and what if I can't get over it?
If another guy tries to chat me up again, I'll be forced to kill the fucking player. Seriously. Or maim him.
Kai smirked. She would have, too. 'So…' He concluded silently 'She's scared to give me another chance. 'This is useful.' He tapped the cover thoughtfully. He continued to read.
Maybe I should use someone to get him jealous. It sucks though; he might just want me back so he can tell everyone he's Mr. Casanova. Well, guess I got to go and pack.
Thoughts clouded the teen's mind. And curiosity got better of him. He randomly flipped to one page.
I'm blushing while writing this. Why? 'Cause Kai's in my life. What's so good about him? Why do I start? His eyes, lips, kisses, EVERYTHING! I never felt this way about anyone before. Am I crazy? Can this perfection last? I'm raving. God, he's sweet and I really think our relationship can blossom.
Kai smirked. 'This is interesting.' He took the book and made his exit, a smirk glued onto his face.
Me: What's he going to do with it?
Max: Photocopy some bits and blackmail her?
Tyson: Learn some secrets about her?
Kai: Is it a crime to learn more about my girlfriend?
Me: I don't think Sora thinks of you of her boyfriend.
Kai: She will.
Me: I smell a bet. Okay if you don't get her back by Chapter 15, you owe me sixty bucks.
Kai: Done.
Me: Good, you won't win 'cause I write the story. So HA!
Kai: Not if I can help it.
Me: Review!
