? POV (I'm not telling you yet :P)
I can't help but gape openly at the tall man with those crazy eyebrows. He looks at me coldly, his beady little eyes looking indifferent.
"What the hell are you doing here!" I ask him, my hand reaching for my blade.
"Oh, I'm just out for a walk." Barthez replies. "Nothing wrong with that, is there?"
"Well, no."
"I also heard rumor that Miguel is dating that blue hair enigma from the Russian team, yes? Quite a surprise that."
I inwardly growled. Stupid Miguel.
"You're not pleased?" Barthez asked, actually looking surprised.
"No, I'm not!" I snap. Christ, those everyone think that Kai and Miguel actually make a good couple? I mean, honestly. Just wait until they see me and Kai together. Heh, we're made for each other.
Barthez looked deep in thought, his hand on his chin. "I see. I'd always thought that if the young master would begin to date anyone, it would have been you."
Finally! Someone who also thinks that Miguel has no right dating Kai!
"Probably tricked him." I found myself muttering.
"That is a possibility." Barthez hummed. "Then, why don't you save him?"
"Huh?"
Barthez smiled at me. "I can make it happen."
"What?" I muttered again. Just where is he going with this?
"You want Miguel gone, don't you? Want him out of the way. He's the only thing that's stopping you and Kai from being together, right?"
"Well, I…" Do I?
Barthez continued. "Miguel doesn't deserve someone like Kai, unlike yourself"
True.
"The two of you were made for each other." he finished.
That is so true.
"Yeah, you're right." I say.
Barthez nodded. "Miguel is nothing but a thorn in your side. But once he's gone, there's nothing stopping you."
"Right!" I agreed. Finally, someone talking sense. But wait… "But how am I going to get Miguel away from Kai?"
"Oh, I can handle that." Barthez said, waving his hand in a careless motion. "See this?" He asked, holding up some weird looking dart thingy. "It's a dart, but not just any dart. Once Miguel has been struck by this, it will prove how weak he is and Kai will realize that he's just wasting his time of such a weakling and come crawling back to you. What do you say?"
It was ingenious, but for some reason I felt hesitant…
"I don't know…" I murmur.
Barthez smiled at me again. "Come now. In this day and age, one must make sacrifices. Fortunately for you, the only thing you'll be sacrificing is Miguel."
…It does sound tempting.
" Kai will be all yours."
All mine?
"Deal." I said immediately. "I want Miguel out of the picture. For good. Do what you want with him, but Kai belongs to me, right?"
"Of course." Barthez smiled, offering me his hand. "My pleasure. When do you want it done?"
"As soon as possible." I replied. "Miguel has taken Kai away from me for long enough."
"Done, but I need to ask one thing from you."
I feel a little weary. Should have known there'll be a catch. Oh, well. Kai better be bloody thankful, especially after all of this. Humph, taking off with Miguel, honestly.
"The Blitzkrieg boys will are here as well, yes?"
"Yeah."
"Well, they might interfere, so if they ask, I was never here. Got that?"
Oh, is that all?
"Fine."
Barthez nods and raises his hand. I shake it, closing the deal. He smiles again and begins walking towards the main arena.
I can't help but feel excited. Finally, in the next few moments, Miguel will out of the picture and Kai will belong to me. Oh, I can't wait to run my hands over that smooth, lean body of his. Oh, and that ass! What a ass!
I practically skip down the hall, getting into position to direct the blitz boys away from Barthez. Heh, he doesn't seem so bad. I bet Miguel was just lying about him. Blaming him for when they were cheating in the world championships last year.
Pft, couldn't take the blame for your own mistakes, could ya Miguel? Don't worry, it will all catch up to you soon.
And Kai will be mine!
… … … Third person's POV
Kai shivered suddenly, an eerie feeling of dread making it's presence known. He looked at his surroundings, wrapping his long arms around himself.
He was just being silly, but he could have sworn someone was talking about him.
Kai snorted. Of course someone was talking about him. It's not everyday that someone who is a cold hearted prick such as he tells everyone that he's dating a handsome blond hair, blue eyed blader.
"Kai." Robert greeted as he walked over to him. "Good to see you again."
Kai gave a small smile. Robert was one of a handful of people he can stand. Others will probably take some getting used to. "You too, Robert."
"I was just wondering, but where are the rest of your teammates, are they not coming?"
"Oh, they'll be here soon." Kai said, dismissively. "They've been lurking about doing something that would be considered illegal most likely. Well, Bryan will be anyway."
Speaking of Bryan, the said platinum hair blader was already sneaking his way inside. He had been in Russia when he got the call that his two teammates were dating two European bladers. He hasn't had very much to do with Miguel or Claude and he wonders what they're like.
Unfortunately for Claude, he was the first one that Bryan saw first.
"Hey!" Bryan said, appearing out of nowhere, wrapping a friendly arm around Claude's neck. "How you doing?"
"Holy hell!" Claude gave an undignified eep. "You scared me! What is with you blitzkrieg boys and the ability to appear out of nowhere?"
Bryan looked at him for a moment then smirks. "Now I see why Tala is so fond of you. You're quite spunky, aren't you?" And he pulls Claude in for a noogie. "Lets be good friends."
"Ah! Stop it!" Claude said, trying to pull himself out of Bryan's grip.
Kai saw the whole thing and chuckled. "Enough of that, Bryan. You don't want to hurt him, Tala won't like that, now would he?"
Bryan smiled teasingly. "He'd kick my ass."
While this was happening, Johnny and Michael were both deep in thought.
A strange little chapter wasn't it? I was in a strange mood, so no wonder. It's pretty obvious who the mystery POV is, isn't it? I'll drag it out just a little bit longer.
Next chapter: Michael and Johnny contemplate the most evil of all questions. So, who's on top?
Read and review, please.
