Chapter 1
A two toned blue and grey haired teenage boy, with crimson eyes, ditched his team and went for a walk. He loved the night time and he could see in the dark perfectly well. For some unknown reason, Kai veered off his usual path that night. What he didn't know was that his life would change forever that night.
Kai veered into an alleyway. He felt someone watching him. He looked around. Nothing. Kai just happened to look up at the rooftops to find a shadow moving away from him. He hadn't expected that. He just wanted to feel the calmness wash over him from looking at the full moon. Kai had always said that he would be a night person not a day person.
Kai, curious about the shadow, decided to follow. He climbed up to the rooftops. He found that the shadow was in fact a human. Male or female, he couldn't tell as they were too far ahead of him. He was about to run after the mysterious person when he slipped on a liquid substance.
"What the hell," he said out loud to himself. Kai dipped his finger into the liquid then sniffed it.
"Blood," he whispered. He looked up to where he last saw the mysterious person but they were already gone.
'Whoever it is, they are hurt and bad,' he thought. It was late at night and he couldn't be bothered going after the mysterious person now. He climbed down from the rooftops and headed for Tyson's dojo.
He silently slipped inside. Everyone was asleep. He gathered his boxers before going into the bathroom. He got undressed and stepped into the shower. The hot water raining down on him relaxed him. If he were allowed to, he would stay in the shower all day long, but he knew he couldn't. He quickly washed his hair, turned the shower off and dried himself off. He got dressed into his boxers then looked in the mirror. His blue marking on each cheek had washed off in the shower. It made him look less frightening, more vulnerable without them. The face paint was in the cupboard under the sink. He decided that he would paint them back on later. Right now he was tired and he would probably make a mistake if he did paint them back on. Kai turned the light off and silently walked to his bedroom. As soon as his head touched his pillow, he was asleep.
Chapter 2
Kai was the first one to awake the next day. He usually was the first up so that was no surprise. He looked at the digital clock that was on the bedside table next to him. 7.02am it read in large red numbers. He got dressed into his usual clothes (AN: Everyone is in their G-Rev clothes). He walked into the kitchen, got a glass of water and sat down at the dinning table.
"Shit," a voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Ray, you've seen me without the blue markings before. Its no big deal," said Kai. He hadn't realised that he had been in his own thoughts for an hour.
"True," Ray agreed, "So what were ya thinking of?"
"Nothing," replied Kai. He got up and went to the bathroom. He locked the door and got the blue face paint from out of the cupboard. He carefully outlined the triangles before colouring them in. Kai was quick and precise. He hadn't made a mistake painting the 4 triangles on, ever, and that's ho it was going to stay. After he finished in the bathroom, Kai found that Max was awake and Hilary and Kenny had arrived. Tyson was still asleep, as usual.
"You try to wake him," huffed Hilary as she came out of Tyson's room.
"You don't know how to do it," smirked Kai. He walked into the kitchen and filled a glass with ice. He let the ice melt a little bit before going into Tyson's room and emptying the ice and water onto Tyson's face. Kai quickly ran out of the room.
"3, 2, 1," Ray counted.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH. Kai get back here," yelled Tyson as he burst out of his room. Kai was standing just outside Tyson's door waiting for Tyson to try and punch him. He grabbed Tyson's fist and twisted it behind Tyson's beck making Tyson yelp in pain.
While Kai had been in the bathroom, Ray had cooked pancakes for breakfast. Kai released Tyson's arm and Tyson ran into the kitchen and began wolfing down the food. After 15 minutes and an argument between Tyson and Hilary, the team started training. Kai made them run laps around the outside of the dojo. Everyone except Kenny had to run and Kai instructed.
"Pick up the pace, Tyson, even Hilary is a lap ahead of you," snapped Kai. Tyson, complaining, did what he was told.
"Max, stop eating candy while running," said Kai, "Tyson, stop checking out Hilary's arse." Hilary, who was just ahead of Tyson, turned around and punched Tyson in the face.
"Serves you right for checking me out," yelled Hilary at Tyson, who was holding his now swollen cheek.
"Fat urt, Illiwe," Tyson gibbered.
"Speak English," said Hilary.
"He said that hurt Hilary," Ray translated.
"Sorry, come on lets go put ice on that," said Hilary as she dragged Tyson inside. Ray, Max and Kenny couldn't hold their laughter in anymore. Kai just smirked.
Chapter 3
That night, Kai, as usual, went for a walk. He headed for the alleyway again. He climbed up to the rooftops. He looked up to the sky just as a drop of water hit his face, then another and another until it poured down.
'Great, just my luck,' thought Kai. He was just about to climb down when something white caught his attention. He walked up to it. It was an unconscious woman in a white dress which had spaghetti straps. This woman was the mysterious person that had watched him the previous night. In fact she wasn't a woman, yet, but a teenage girl around the age of 16. Her back was facing him and as he approached he could see that the upper back of the dress was shredded to pieces. She had various whip like wounds which was making a small pool of blood on the ground next to her. She also had a deep gash on her arm. He turned her over so that he could see her face. She opened her eyes, weakly, and looked up at Kai before falling unconscious. Kai watched the silver haired girl.
'Her eyes, those sapphire blue eyes, they show a lot of pain. She must of have been through a lot of bad things,' thought Kai as he picked her up, bridal style, 'you seem familiar, but how, why?' Kai carried her to Tyson's dojo.
"Where the hell have you been? In case you haven't noticed, it's raining. We were just about to go looking for you," yelled Ray as he ran out when Kai approached.
"Hn," replied Kai.
"Hey, who is that?" Ray asked, noticing the girl in Kai's arms.
"Ask questions later, help now," said Kai as he walked into the house. He walked to a spare bedroom and placed the girl gently on the bed before ordering Ray to get various things to clean and stitch the girl's wounds. The deep gash, which was obviously done by a bullet, was the most easiest to clean and stitch up. The whip wounds on her back, however, proved to be more difficult as some of them healed over some of the pieces of material from the girl's white dress and some of the wounds were old wounds that had been constantly reopen over and over again. Luckily the girl was unconscious otherwise she would have been screaming as Kai peeled the fabric away from the wounds. Fresh blood began to flow freely from the wounds once again. Kai worked quickly. At least something that he had learnt, even if it was something that he learnt at Balkov Abbey, was being put to good use. Once finished cleaning the wounds, Kai and Ray left leaving the girl to recover. Kai grabbed his boxers from his room and went for a shower. His body relaxed as the hot water washed over him. He stepped out of the shower, dried himself and got dressed. He got the face paint out of the cupboard again and painted the 4 triangles back on. He walked out and went to his bedroom. He laid on his bed while listening to his MP3 player. He fell asleep.
Chapter 4
Later that night, the mysterious girl awoke. She went around the whole dojo until she found Kai's room. She opened the door to find Kai tossing and turning as if he was having a nightmare. His MP3 and headphones on the floor beside the bed. She walked in and sat down on the bed. She didn't want to scare Kai when she tried to wake him up by shaking him and he probably would grab her injured arm, so she began to sing.
Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you still can be free
If time will set you free
'What's that sweet sound?' Kai asked himself. He opened his eyes to find the mysterious girl sitting on his bed singing.
Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavour
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long, long way to go
The rest of the Bladebreakers excluding Hilary and Kenny, who were at their own homes, came running to Kai's room. The girl's angelic voice was now floating throughout the whole dojo.
Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free
Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high like the wind don't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight
Tyson, Ray and Max clapped as she ended the song. Kai was impressed.
"Who are you?" asked Kai.
"My name's Crystal. (AN: yay, ya finally get to know her name) What's yours?" Crystal asked Kai ignoring the others.
"Kai," he replied.
"Well Kai, thank you for helping me," said Crystal.
"Um…you're welcome," replied Kai, uneasily. Crystal got up and walked to the door.
"And who are you 3?" Crystal asked.
"I'm Tyson, Blondie over there is Max and this is Ray. We're known as the Bladebreakers," replied Tyson. Crystal nodded before going back to the room she was in before and fell asleep.
"Crystal, we have 2 more members of the Bladebreakers that we want you to meet," Tyson yelled, the next morning, as he knocked on Crystal's bedroom door. The door swung open. Instead of Crystal, they were greeted with a…
Chapter 5
growling lioness, who was ready to pounce. Hilary fainted and was caught by Tyson before she could hit the floor, Max hid behind Ray and Kenny ran away screaming like a little girl. (AN: Sorry couldn't resist making Kenny do that. Hehehe I know I'm evil. Aw well ya get that. Anyways let's get back to the story).
Kai was training when Kenny ran past him. He grabbed Kenny's arm.
"What's going on?" asked Kai.
"Lioness…In…Crystal's…Room," panted Kenny. Kai released Kenny and he ran all the way home. Kai called Dranzer back and headed to Crystal's room.
The lioness was about to pounce when Kai walked in. the lioness stopped growling and relaxed her muscles when she saw Kai. She casually walked up to Kai. Ray, Max and Tyson who was carrying Hilary, bridal style, walked backwards with every forward step the lioness took. Kai stayed where he was. The lioness began to rub her head against Kai's leg as if she were but a small domestic cat. He knelt down and began patting the lioness on the head. This is when he noticed the tuft of fur at the end of the tail was not dark brown or black, but silver.
"See cowards, she means no harm," said Kai to his team. The lioness went to the bedside table, took a piece of paper off it and walked back to Kai. Kai took the paper out of the lioness's mouth and unfolded it. There was a note written in elegant calligraphy. It read:
Dear Bladebreakers.
Sorry I can't stay with you during the day, I have business to attend to. Please look after this lioness. Funny enough, she has the same name as me. Anyways, sorry if she gave you a fright. Look after her and she'll protect you. I'll be back tonight. Thankyou for everything.
From Crystal.
"Well we know where one Crystal is, and now we have to deal with another one," said Kai as he handed the note to the rest of the Bladebreakers to read. He gave the team a few minutes to read it.
"Alright, get your arses outside and run 10 laps," Kai said as he walked out of the room, "Hilary is an exception." Ray, Max and Tyson started the 10 laps.
"Come on Ty, Kai will start having a go at ya. You are 1 lap behind me and 2 laps behind Ray," said Max while running up to Tyson. Krystal (AN: To make it easier, the lioness's name will start with a K, and the human's will start with a C. Ok) ran inside grabbed some food, that was still in its packaging, walked back outside and made Tyson chase after her. Krystal kept the bag of chips that were dangling by her mouth, about 1 metre away from Tyson. She turned around and ran away, her tail swinging, teasingly. Tyson, surprisingly, was the first to complete the 10 laps, but Krystal kept him running for 20 more laps. Max, Ray and Hilary, who had recovered while they were running, laughed. Kai smirked, as usual.
"Tyson really has a way with women," laughed Max. He, Ray and Hilary laughed harder. Krystal finally decided that he deserved the chips and gave them to him. Tyson pigged out on them.
Chapter 6
At sunset, the lioness disappeared. The human, Crystal, walked in the dojo just after sunset.
"Hello," she said to the Bladebreakers.
"Hefho," Tyson said with a mouthful of food.
"English translation, please?" asked Crystal.
"He said hello," said Max, hyperactively.
"Someone had a bit too much candy," Crystal chuckled.
"So why were you injured with whip wounds and a bullet wound?" Kai asked.
"Well before you found me, or should I say before I found you, I was a performer in cirrus. Every night I got whipped by this guy for no reason at all. After that I ran away and yesterday I got shot but luckily it only grazed my arm," replied Crystal, with a sad look on her face.
"So what nationality are you?" Ray asked.
"Russian," replied Crystal, "Please excuse me." Crystal got up and ran off into the night.
"I'll go after her," said Ray.
"You might want to look on rooftops then," informed Kai. Ray ran out and followed Crystal. Just like Kai had said, she was on a rooftop.
"I can tell that there is something that you're not telling us," said Ray as he sat down next to crystal.
"That's because I don't know how you'll all handle the news, especially Kai," Crystal said gazing up at the moon.
"Would you like to tell me?" asked Ray.
"Do you promise not to tell anyone, especially Kai?" asked Crystal.
"I promise," Ray nodded.
"Well are you familiar with the Russian legend 'The Lady of the Night?" asked Crystal.
"No, but please tell," encouraged Ray.
"The Lady of the Night was forbidden to fall in love with someone, yet she did. Her father, the King of Russia, supposedly killed her love, which happened to be her one true love. Anyways, her father didn't see that this was enough punishment, so he put a curse on his one and only daughter. She ran away after that. She was named Lady of the Night because some people believed her to be a dark angel who disappeared during the day and reappeared at night. But the truth was that she was human by night, animal by day," Crystal said.
"Interesting, but how is that connected to you?" Ray asked.
"That legend is…is based on me. I'm the Lady of the Night," she replied, "That lioness that was with you today, that was me."
"Oh, so you're a rebel princess, cursed by a father who wanted you to love someone besides this guy you fell in love with. I see how that is hard for you to tell people. Don't worry your secret is safe with me. Come on the others will be worried," said Ray as he got up and offered a hand to help Crystal up.
"You're not afraid?" asked Crystal.
"No. why would I be, after all I am half cat too. I thought you would have figured that out by now," replied Ray. Crystal took his hand and launched herself at Ray.
"You don't know how long I have wanted to tell someone. Thankyou Ray," came Crystal's muffled voice as her head was buried in Ray's clothes. She continued to hug him for a few minutes. She went to kiss his cheek but he moved his head and Crystal kissed him on the lips instead.
Chapter 7
"Um…I think we should go," said Ray, blushing. Crystal nodded. She too was blushing.
"So um… do you beyblade?" asked Ray as they walked towards Tyson's.
"Yes why?" asked Crystal.
"If there is then do you want to participate in the upcoming tournament with us?" Ray asked.
"But you don't know how good I am and besides I can't, remember, I turn into a lioness during the day," replied Crystal.
"Don't worry. All you have to do is beat Kai and I'm sure we can get Mr Dickenson to allow you to battle at night. However we might have to tell him your secret, that's if you're ok with it," said Ray.
"As long as this Mr Dickenson person doesn't tell a single soul," smiled Crystal. It was the first smile she had let anyone see. Her eyes shone with both joy and pain at the same time. After that they walked in silence.
"Kai I challenge you to a bey battle," said Crystal once she and Ray entered the dojo.
"Tomorrow," replied Kai.
"No now," said Crystal, determined.
"I said tomorrow," snapped Kai.
"And I said now," Crystal yelled at him.
"Fine, only if it will shut you up," growled Kai as he walked outside to Tyson's practice bey dish located in the yard. Crystal stood opposite him. Both preparing to launch their beyblades.
"Ok Kai, if I win, I get to join the Bladebreakers. If you win, um… I'll tell you my secrets," said Crystal.
"Hn," replied Kai.
"I'll take that as a yes," smirked Crystal.
"3, 2, 1, let it rip," said Ray as he made himself referee. Both Dranzer and Crystal's beyblade landed in the middle of the dish. Crystal's beyblade was a midnight black in colour with a silver defence ring. Her launcher was also midnight black with a silver handle and her ripcord was crimson.
"Dranzer, finish it," said Kai, looking bored, "Flame Sabre."
"I won't be that easy to get rid of," said Crystal, still smirking, "Luna come out and play. Dark Fire." Dranzer came out in all her majestic red glory, poised to attack. Luna, Crystal bitbeast, also came out. Luna was a midnight black lioness (AN: anyone would think that I love lions. Oh wait I do love them. Hehehe) with the tuft, at the end of the tail, crimson. She has silver markings on her face (AN: Like Sesshomaru's from InuYasha), crimson eyes and silver claws.
"Wow, awesome bitbeast," Crystal heard Max say to Tyson. Dranzer's attacks weren't affecting Luna what so ever, however Dranzer did prevent Luna from using Dark Fire. This made Kai angry that a female would stand up to him.
"Dranzer, Blazing Gig Tempest," said Kai through clenched teeth.
"Luna, Dark Blitz," said Crystal. The 2 attacks met head on and caused a small explosion. When the smoke cleared the Bladebreakers and Crystal found Dranzer had stopped spinning, while Luna was circling Dranzer. Kai grabbed Dranzer and stormed off inside. Crystal watched him with a pained expression.
"Kai," Crystal slowly said in a whisper.
"Don't worry about him," Ray said handed Crystal her beyblade, "Congratulations, you're on the team."
"Yeah, Kai doesn't take to losing well," Max agreed.
"Thanks," replied Crystal before going after Kai.
Chapter 8
"Kai I…," she said, once she found Kai in his bedroom, but he interrupted her.
"I can't figure you out. Why the hell do you seem familiar?" asked Kai, "Yet mysterious at the same time?"
"You're just as cryptic," replied Crystal, not bothering to answer his first question, "We've both had harsh pasts."
"What do you know about my past?" growled Kai as he gripped both of Crystal's wrists and forced her against the wall.
"I know that you've had a lot of pain and suffering at Balkov Abbey," replied Crystal, "Now please let go of me."
"How do you know that I was at Balkov Abbey?" asked Kai as he tightened his grip.
"My father told me," replied Crystal, half lying half telling the truth, before biting the hand that held her right wrist. She freed her hand and slapped Kai in the face. Kai threw her on the bed. He sat on top of her so that she couldn't escape.
"What the hell was that for?" Kai growled.
"I bit you because you were hurting me and the slap was for not doing what I asked," Crystal replied.
"I'm sorry," said Kai, his voice softening.
"I'm sorry too," Crystal said.
"You have so much pain in your eyes, why?" asked Kai.
"I'm sorry I don't feel like telling tha…," replied Crystal before she found Kai's lips on hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.
"I would like to go now," she said after they parted for air a few minutes later. Kai got up off her and Crystal walked out of Kai's room and into her room. She got into bed and fell asleep.
Chapter 9
"Wake up Krystal," said a voice, the next morning. She opened her eyes to find Ray trying to wake her up. She had transformed into the lioness earlier that morning. Ray patted her head and she purred (AN: Do lions/lionesses pur? Well they do in this story). They walked out of the room to find everyone, except Tyson, up.
"You try and get him up," said Hilary to Kai. Kai got a glass of ice and was just about to go into Tyson's room when Krystal stopped him.
"I think she wants to wake him up," said Ray. Krystal nodded before going into Tyson's room. She sat on the floor near Tyson's head and roared.
"AHHHHHHHHHH," screamed Tyson. The Bladebreakers, who were standing at the door, burst out laughing. (AN: Yes, even Kai laughed). Tyson went to chase Krystal, but his foot was tangled up in the sheets and so he fell flat on his face. He got up and continued to pursue Krystal until she hid behind Kai.
"Picking on females now?" asked Kai.
"I think I'll go and get dressed," replied Tyson as he walked back into his room and closed the door. The Bladebreakers continued laughing. Kai's laugh reduced to a smirk.
"So where is the other Crystal, Ray?" asked Max.
"Um… she has important business to attend to, she says it's never-ending," lied Ray.
"Oh, Ok," said Max, before bouncing off to see if Tyson was ready of a bey battle. Kai not wanting to watch the battle, snuck away. Only Krystal knew he had left and so she went after him. She found Kai surrounded by heaps of fan girls. Krystal gave out a short growl which made some girls scream and open a pathway to Kai. She walked up to Kai and started growling, again, at the fan girls. The girls took a few steps back but still remained in the bunch. Krystal and Kai were back to back, well in their case tail to leg. When the girls backed away, Krystal turned around, ran in-between Kai's legs making him sit on her back and ran off. The girls however were not that easy to lose and so chased after Kai and Krystal. Krystal ran to the alleyway she first saw Kai in and jumped from wall to wall, in a zigzag pattern, until she reached the rooftops. The group of girls ran down the alleyway but couldn't find Kai so they disappeared.
"Thanks," muttered Kai as they walked, more like Kai sat and Krystal walked, via rooftops to the dojo.
"So where have you and Krystal been?" asked Hilary.
"Hn," was Kai's only reply.
Chapter 10
Krystal, the lioness, disappeared at sunset, only for the human Crystal to appear.
"Mr Dickenson rang earlier. He'll be coming over soon," said Ray. Crystal nodded. Mr Dickenson arrived half an hour later.
"Well boys," he said as he sat down, "there is an upcoming tournament; however you'll need a 5th blader."
"That's no problem Mr D. we already have a 5th balder," said Tyson.
"Oh and who is your 5th blader?" asked Mr Dickenson.
"I am," came a voice from the doorway. Crystal walked up to the Bladebreakers and presented herself to Mr Dickenson.
"I'm Crystal. It's nice to meet you Mr Dickenson," said Crystal.
"Ok, well that's just about it. I suppose," said Mr Dickenson, "Oh and there will be a dance held for all bladers. Its formal and you all have to attend. Its 1 week from today. You will leave 2 days after the dance for the tournament."
"Wait, Mr D," Ray said. He turned to Max, Kai and Tyson (AN: Hilary and Kenny were at their own homes), "You 3 leave."
"But…," complained Tyson.
"Please just go and don't eavesdrop," pleaded Ray. Max, Kai and Tyson walked out without another word said.
"Please allow Crystal and me to fight our matches during the night," said Ray.
"Why?" asked Mr Dickenson.
"The others are probably eavesdropping so Crystal, please write down why. I promise that he won't tell anyone," said Ray. Crystal nodded. She picked up a pen and paper and started writing, in the elegant calligraphy, her secret down. She handed Mr Dickenson the piece of paper. He read over it for a few minutes.
"I see, but why do you Ray, want to battle at night?" asked Mr Dickenson.
"For support and in case Crystal wants to do a tag team battle," replied Ray.
"I will see what I can do," said Mr Dickenson, standing up.
"Thankyou," said Crystal and Ray together. Mr Dickenson nodded and said goodbye to the Bladebreakers before leaving.
"Thankyou Ray," said Crystal as she hugged him.
Max, Tyson and Kai came in just as Crystal let go of Ray. Max, Tyson and Ray all started talking while Kai just listened and Crystal was in her own thoughts.
"Um guys," Crystal said when the word dance was brought up.
"Yeah?" asked Tyson.
"How am I going to get my dress for the dance if I'm constantly dealing with business during the day?" asked Crystal.
"Um…," Tyson thought.
"Why don't you tell Hilary your size, preferred colour or colours and type of dress," Ray suggested, "And when we go shopping, Hilary can get your dress."
"Good idea, what do you think about that?" Tyson asked.
"It could work," replied Crystal.
"Then it's settled," Max said, finishing off the conversation. Crystal walked into her room and fell asleep.
Chapter 11
The week went by and no one except Ray knew her secret. Hilary and the guys had gone shopping during the week and Hilary got the dress for Crystal. It was a red dress with a lower backing to it and it had spaghetti straps. It flared out when she twirled around. The night before the dance, she was sitting in her room, thinking about her past when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," she said. Kai walked in and sat on the bed next to Crystal.
"You wanted something?" she asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Would you be my date tomorrow night?" Kai rushed.
"Ooh, is the great Hiwatari asking me out?" teased Crystal.
"Don't make this harder than what it has to be," Kai snapped.
"Fine, I'll go with you," smiled Crystal.
"Goodnight," said Kai, standing up.
"Night," said Crystal as she watched Kai walk out of her room. After that she fell asleep
She woke up, the next morning, as the sun was starting to come up. She went to window and watched it rise. As soon as the sun hit her face, she transformed into the lioness. She walked out of her room and went to wake everyone except Kai, who was already up, and Hilary and Kenny as they weren't there. She went into Max, Ray and Tyson's rooms and roared. With every roar came a scream.
They night the Bladebreakers including Hilary and Kenny were getting ready. Crystal painted her nails to match her dress. Hilary done Crystal's makeup and Crystal done Hilary's.
"Wow," said the guys when they walked out of Crystal's room. Both Hilary and Crystal smiled. They walked out of the dojo and got into a limo that Mr. Dickenson had arranged for them. Crystal somehow got stuck in-between Hilary and Tyson and the 2 started arguing.
"Shut the hell up. Tyson why don't you fucking admit that you like Hilary and Hilary why don't you do the same," yelled Crystal. Tyson and Hilary immediately stopped arguing and looked out the windows.
"Thanks, we're getting sick and tired of them arguing all the time," said Max. The rest of the car trip was in silence. The Bladebreakers split up once they were at the dance. Crystal went and got a drink before sitting down at an empty table.
"What is the lovely Russian Princess doing here?" asked a voice beside Crystal. She looked up to find Tala. Tala sat down next her.
"Tala, you still remember me?" asked Crystal ignoring his question.
"Yep. How could anyone forget you?" Tala asked.
"I know someone who has forgotten who I am," replied Crystal.
"Who?" asked Tala.
"Kai," Crystal said, "You've been at the Abbey longer then him yet he doesn't remember me."
Chapter 12
Kai spotted Crystal talking to Tala. He walked up to them.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked Crystal. Crystal agreed.
"I thought I was supposed to be your date," Kai said as he led Crystal to the dance floor.
"Well you disappeared," replied Crystal.
"That's because Tyson forced us the meet the other teams," said Kai.
"You're forgiven," smiled Crystal. They began to do the foxtrot. The crowd of bladers on the dance floor moved off to the side and watched in awe at Crystal and Kai dancing. After the song ended, everyone clapped as Crystal and Kai went and sat down.
"I never knew you could do ballroom dancing," said Crystal, impressed.
Kai shrugged, "Neither did I." After an hour, Tala came up to Crystal.
"Would you like to dance?" Tala asked.
"Actually she was just about to dance with me, again," snapped Kai as he and Crystal got up and walked back to the dance floor. Everyone on the dance floor began to slow dance when Angel Eyes was beginning to play. Kai wrapped his arms around Crystal's waist while Crystal placed her arms around Kai's neck and leaned her head on his chest.
Hey you're good looking tonight
And every girl has got you in her sight
What, you doing with someone like me?
Surely one of life's little mysteries
So tonight I'll ask the stares above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do? What did I say?
To turn your angel eyes my way
Well I'm a girl that never learnt to dance
Never even go one second glance
Across the crowded room was close enough
I could look but never touch
So tonight I'll ask the stares above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do? What did I say?
To turn your angel eyes my way
"Crystal," said Kai, softly.
"Hm," replied Crystal. She looked up into Kai's crimson eyes.
"I lov…," he started to say.
"I forbid you to say those 3 simple words to me," Crystal said, sternly, breaking out of Kai's arms, "Not unless you want to end up in the shit that I'm in." Crystal ran out of the building.
"Why hello Crystal Korsetova?" came a voice.
TBC…
