Hehehehe I've decided to start this chapter off with a quote from Tenchi- Wrath of Heaven since I have nothing else to say.
Hudini- Yeah ur killing off the characters cause ur desperate!
Me- You must tell no one! -looks shifty-
Hudini-.....too late?
Me- Forget u heard that and read the quote!!!
Many lives these two blades have taken, As many as they have protected. My blood covered lips speak no words as I stare into the blades reflection.
Me- -crys-
Hudini- Sap......
Me-WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Mariah's P.O.V Still
I woke up again about an hour later. I was still cradled in Kai's arms as I rubbed my eyes and yawned.
"Hmmm....something's wrong..." I thought, watching Kai sleep.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!! KAI WAKE UP!!!!!" I yelled and shook him awake. He shook his head and yawned.
"What?" he asked me as I stood up and began bouncing back and forth.
"The....the tournament! The starting cerimonies are this morning! What time is IT?!" I panicked, he laughed at me asI looked around for a clock.
"We have an hour, calm down" He said and stood up. I looked at him. He was WAY too calm, not fair. I looked at my filthy clothes, then back at him. He rolled his eyes.
"Bathroom's over there, I'll get someone to bring you a change of clothes." he said in a rather orginized fashion.
"What about you?" I asked. He walked over to the door and placed his hand on the knob. He wasn't even that dirty by the looks of it.
"I have some thing's to do before I have to worry about myself. I'll be back in abit." He said and left. He had all the awnsers.
"Note to self, ask him the meaning of life...." I thought and walked into the biggest bathroom I had ever seen. I started the bath and shed my dirty clothes, placing Galix and my launcher on the counter before I carefully stepped into the bath. I sunk under the water and rubbed my scalp. My head still hurt from crying and my eyes were still sore. I came up for air and leant against the edge of the oversized tub.
"Good too see you haven't drown, ma'm.." said an older looking lady who had walked in, holding clothing. I wasn't sure if I was to be surpized or......hiding. I chose to hide.
"Uhh...can I help you?" I asked, sinking under the water. I was somewhat concious about my looks, I didn't even like locker rooms....too much nudity.
"I'm here to help you! Master Kai sent me to fetch you a pair of clothes and since we haven't had any females in this houshold for ahwile, I did what I could. I smiled and nodded as she placed the clothes beside my blade and left. I finished washing myself, got out and dried off. With one towel wrapped around my wet hair and the other around my body, I went over to see the clothes I was to wear.
Kai's P.O.V
I stepped back into my room and sat on a couch. Nanny was dissapointed she couldn't make my bed, seeing as I had slept on the floor with Mariah. I combed my hand through my still partially wet hair. I decided to use another bathroom to take a shower so Mariah wouldn't have to wait. Nanny had found something in my room to clean and seemed absorbed in it.
"What you give her to wear?" I couldn't resist asking. Nanny smiled at me.
"Master Kai, you know I like to surprise you. Be patient." she said and went back to work just as the bathroom door had opened.
"Wow......that's different for you..." I said, standing up. Nanny went over to Mariah and began fixing her hair and clothes.
"Ohhh I'm gonna kill you!" she threatened as Nanny made her twirl around. The pink dress suited her. The fabric was cut just above her knees and was tied at the waist with a lighter pink ribbon. The straps threatened to fall off her bare shoulders. She stopped twirling and looked at my face. I could just here Nanny in my mind.
"Master Kai, stay civilized now....."
I swallowed hard and forced a slight smile. I could see a smile forming on her lips too. At least Nanny hadn't dolled her up with make-up, I would have been dead then.
"We better go or someone's gonna think something's wrong.." she said and opened the door. It was then I saw her beyblade strapped to the ribbon on her back. Facing her wasn't going to be easy.
Salima's P.O.V
Rei seem distant from me as I clung to his arm. Toying with his emotion's was easier than I had first thought. He was frantically looking around the room filled with other blader's looking for Mariah. Mariah, how I despised her. She was the one Rei loved, the one he gave the locket too. Rei hadn't realized it, but I knew more about his culture than he did. That locket would be mine. Mariah had entered the room with the rest of the blader's but I pulled himaway before he noticed. The anouncer boomed over the speaker and we all got ready.
Normal P.O.V
"WELCOME EVERY ONE TO THE FIRST ANNUAL RUSSIAN TORNAMENT!" Yelled the anouncer dude over the speaker phone. He was followed by an equally loud scream by the audience.
"As you all know, we have quite a line up of blader's for you this year! Including your all time favorites, THE BLADE BREAKERS!!!!!!!!!!" he continued. The crowd screamed again.
"This years matches will be tag team style, two blades in the dish at once. Your partner stops spinning or is thrown from the dish, the duo will automatically lose! But the surprizes aren't over! The blader's have NO idea who their partner are!" he was interupted by another loud scream. He continued again,
"Those teams will be made today and remember the blader have no idea who they will be with!"he finished to yet another scream.
"Energetic crowd eh?" said Max, standing next to Tyson.
"Uh yeah... YES HELLO! YOU LOVE ME! YES TYSONS HERE MAN!" Tyson said, flaling his arms around. Max rolled his eyes.
"Attention hog...." he muttered quietly. The person standing beside him snickered.
After a short break, everyone was brought back in for the pairings. The blader's stood in a straight line waiting for their names to be called. No one wanted to go first.
"TYSON!" the anouncer yelled as Tyson's picture appeared on the giant screen. Tyson stepped foreward, still waving. The crowd went silent while they chose his partner.
"Hilary?" said the anouncer with some confusion. Hilary stepped beside the shocked Tyson.
"Oh...I forgot to tell you I entered too!" she said with a sly smile, " But I never expected to go with a loser like you!"
"But....But the spots are reserved for TOP notch blader's!" Tyson complained.
"Then how'd you get here?! Besides, I called in a favor" she said. Tyson was dumbfounded.
"Our next contestant is........REI!!!!!!!!" yelled the anouncer dude. Rei stepped up as they chose his partner.
"And his partner will be.......SALIMA!" another roar. Rei looked dissapointed as Salima stepped up and took her usual spot clinging to his arm. Rei and Salima stepped off to the side as some other teams were put together. Daichi was dissapointed when he got a kid no taller than he was, but they soon became friends. The next team was Max and some older guy named Yuji Soyama. Suprizingly, Yuji was the first one to say nice to meet you. Now thats a change!
Rei's P.O.V
I began to nod off while they continued to pair up the bladers when I felt Salima tug at my shoulder.
"Rei...REI! Mariah's up!" I don't know if she was taunting me or just being nice. I looked up and sure enough, it was Mariah's turn. Too bad I had already had a partner... could I trade? Doubt it..... Wait...... was she wearing a dress?! Who the hell put her in a dress?!
"KAI!" her partner was chosen. Kai?! Bet he wasn't too happy... I watched as Kai walked up and stood beside Mariah. Was that a smile?! Did Kai Hiwatari smile because his partner was a girl?! Where was his pride? I clenched my fists as he walked over to the side with Mariah. My best friend..... was he hiding something? The rest of the pairs were picked and we all went to our team locker rooms. I ran after Kai and Mariah, wanting and explanation.
"Kai!" I yelled and they turned around to face me, his cold eyes met my rage as I shoved him against a wall.
