Love The Way You Lie; Chapter 3. The Conspiracy's And The Model.
Sitting outside the dojo back garden with his fellow team-mates, the world champion sat in his yellow t-shirt, enjoying the attention from his friends who were inspecting him for any injuries and placing plasters all over him. "No wonder Mr Dickinson had chosen her. She really put up a fight." Tyson spoke, really sounding impressed.
Max smiled really pleased with the results, still entertained by the match he watched. "You guys were awesome. A few times, I really thought she'd got you." The blond playfully teased and began to inspect his face. Man, she's really left him a few scratches.
"Pft you are joking right." Tyson bluffed and laughed. Although his happy tone soon died down a little, when he watched his rival walk onto the scene. "You missed it Kai. Guess who won?!"
Not interested one bit in this event because he didn't get to be the spotlight, the Hiwatari rolled his crimson eyes. "You by any chance?" He answered sarcastically and slowly pulled a smug grin, really hoping to hear the results he'd been waiting to hear. That Tyson had won easily and his ex-girlfriend was a waste of time.
"Yea he did, but by pure luck. She got too exhausted." Kenny explained and turned his laptop around to show the statistics after Dizzy recorded and monitored the match. "She had 65% of the dominance in that match. She is a very good replacement for Diachi."
"Right." Was all that left the lone-wolfs mouth as it began to dry up. This girl was really pushing his buttons now, not only did the team look really fond of her; but she was a better beyblader than when they last met. Time is ticking and she was really pissing him off the longer she was here. It was obvious now it was too late to dispose of her. So now he had to find new tactics to drive at. "Hn."
Tyson then stood up to face the team leader. "How come you never told us that you knew Pearl?" He asked curiously yet so innocently. "She told me you were her last defeat." The world champion then felt his heart skip a beat, when Kai's stare got more fiery.
"We were opponents in Bey-City years ago. She lost, I took her beyblade. Nothing else Tyson." Kai answered dryly and then walked inside the dojo.
Mean-whilst in the background of the scene, was a brunette skinny girl who just sat there with her curiosities growing out of control. "Is it me, or does it look like he is hiding something?" Hilary asked once she was convinced he was gone.
"You know what? I have noticed that too." Rei agreed. "Ever since Pearl has appeared on the scene, he's been so suspicious. But after hearing his explanation, that would explain why Kai asked her for a beyblade match. It was a re-match."
Max nodded, whilst Tyson freaked out. "Kai asked her for a match whilst I was gone?!" He clicked on and repeated loudly. "Urgh! That Sly sourpuss!" He added.
"Its a no wonder he left the scene after she said no. But where did he go?" Kenny asked.
Max shrugged. "Its rumoured that in the press Kai has been scene with a model, seeing someone. Do you think he's actually dating her now? We don't ever see him any-more." He contributed, really curious to see if this A-List girl would step onto the scene.
"I don't know, but I bet we will find out next week in the tournament match against The White Tigers. I am sure this mystery girl will show up then." Hilary paused. "If she even exists."
Laying on the sofa feeling stiff, Pearl opened her eyelids to view the evening sun set upon the dojo front room. She then hopelessly sighed in relief, it was annoying to lose against the lucky world champion, but the blonde was proud of herself to know she'd done her best.
"Its about time you woke up." A cold familiar voice spoke from behind the sofa.
Feeling her chestnut brown eyes widen with shock when she sat up. The new girl then glanced over into his direction, to see him leaning against he room wall with his eyes fixed on her. "Its a shame you didn't watch me and Tyson beyblade today. I almost had him." Pearl spoke, sounding very proud of herself, because right now, she was proving Kai wrong constantly.
A smug grin appeared over the Hiwatari's dry lips as he slowly approached her. Leaning his face close into hers. "I told you to keep your mouth shut didn't I? So why are my team-mates asking questions already?" Kai was determined to keep this dark secret sealed.
Shrugging stubbornly at the powerful beyblader. Pearl really wasn't bothered by his threatening status or power. "All I said was you were the last person to defeat me. Get over yourself." But its moments like this, that made her realise 'love and hate are very close together.' She hated the bastard for his behaviour in the past and the present, but she loved the bad boy for who he was.
Buying what he'd just heard because he knew his ex-girlfriend wasn't a liar. Kai turned his attention to the sound of his phone vibrating in his dark purple pockets. "Fine. Keep it that way." He concluded and walked to the otherside of the room, to text the message back.
Only to irritate the bleach blonde by that stupid move. "So, do you still want a match soon? Or were you just showing off?" Pearl asked, deliberately starting to grab his attention, just for pure entertainment, as well as to hide the fact she was jealous that this other girl had got his loving.
"My plan was, to slaughter you in a beyblade match and then send you home." Kai finally confessed heartlessly. "So yes, I still want that match because I heard Tyson got lucky. Any new rival of Tyson's, is mine."
A gasp of shock left Pearl's mouth, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You are just a pure wanker ain't you?!" Slowly tears began to fill her chestnut brown eyes and her throat was struggling to grab hold of air. It was hard to swallow her bad temper, except in this case she had to, to keep the good impression to make the team proud of her.
But watching the amused impression rise upon his pale face, made the tension in the atmosphere just so unbearable. "I will give you your match Hiwatari and I will wipe that smug grin off your face." Pearl promised and picked up the nearest pillow to wrench her grip on forcefully.
Raising an eyebrow at the wound up woman, oh how he loved seeing her fiery and determined side, it reminded him of why he had fallen in love with this girl. She was different to everyone else. A fighter. "Whatever Pearl." Kai hinted; get well soon, then I will battle you again. Although after that dry comment, he left the scene. Leaving her to react to the news in her own little way.
After getting over what she'd quickly, the new girl forced herself not to cry a single tear for him and acted normal when the team approached her, to check if she was okay.
"Hey Pearl, how you doing? I brought you a cup of tea." Kenny blushed and sat down on the sofa beside her to hand her the hot drink. "I hope you like milk and one sugar."
Cracking a weak smile, Pearl accepted the warm drink. "I like two sugars. But dont worry buddy. I am sure its lovely." She giggled innocently and sat back comfortably to blow the drink.
"The guys are packing up from training. I just wanted to tell that I am currently repairing your Liberty beyblade. I am currently applying some of the newest equipment. Upgrading him."
An 'awww' left the hour-glass girls peached lips. "Bless you. Do you want some money for it?" She asked, being respectful and patted him on the shoulder.
Kenny nodded a no and felt his cheeks begin to burn. "Don't be silly. You are part of the team now." He answered, trying to keep his cool around the attractive girl.
But just as he was about to get comfortable and get to know the girl more, the rest of the team walked in. "Do you want some biscuits with those?" Rei asked, sitting down next to the pair.
"Nah I am alright."
"Pearl my girl! You were an awesome challenger!" Tyson stole the spotlight with his loud appraisal. "Where did you learn to beyblade?!"
"Tyson! I need you to run to the store! I need some bits and bobs home dog!" An old voice called out from in the kitchen. "Bread! Milk! And some tea!"
The rest of the team started laughing, apart from the champion himself. "I am busy grandpa!" The younger Granger answered in a spoilt tone, not really wanting to go.
"Take a friend with you! You are getting your ass to that store little man!"
"Urgh fine. Max?"
"I cant buddy. I have to run home now. I really need a shower and some clean clothes." Max answered and itched the back of his head anxiously. "Not to mention its my dad's birthday today. I should spend the rest of the time with him."
Tyson hissed at his best friend, but then shifted his teddy bear brown eyes to his new rival. "Come on Pearl. You look stiff, lets go." He winked and helped her up onto her feet.
"Can I finish my cup of tea Kenny made me first?" Pearl gasped.
Rei then smiled at the young brunette. "Good move my friend." He laughed and watched Kenny hide his embarrassed and bushing face behind a pillow.
"Yea, just be quick. Hilary are you walking home with us?" Tyson began to arrange things.
"Oh yes I will. Let me just grab my things." Hilary answered and smiled.
"Please tell me that's not them." Tyson gasped and froze in the middle of the Bey-City streets to stare his teddy bear brown eyes at the restaurant, he pointed towards a restaurant front window. "Its Kai isn't it? That blue haired man in that suit."
Hilary and Kenny now at home due to the fact they lived just a few minutes away from Tyson. Pearl stood there beside her team-mate and bit her lower lip hard, nodding in agreement with what he just said.
Kai was sat there digging into a thick piece of stake, whilst the attractive slim, tanned, brunette model sat opposite him was tucking into a small salad. It was hard to watch for the pair of them, but the world champion soon made the blonde forget about the past as he ripped the piss out of them both.
"Wait here." He commented and slowly walked over to the restaurant window, with his hands deep into his dark jean pockets. The amount of excitement this immature teenager got building up inside him, made the hairs stand up on his skin. "Hey Kai! You've done well with her son!" The broad Japanese male announced standing at the window, waving at his team captain in a carefree manner.
Neither of them had a clue what Kai was saying to his new girlfriend in the restaurant, but he was obviously humiliated due to the fact his cheeks went slightly pink. This was pure gold to the ex-girlfriend, as she stood in the distance just laughing her head off at the Dragoon holder. But she'd be lying if she denied the fact she was jealous that he'd 'moved on' with a stunning woman, who had everything. Money, looks, the lifestyle and fame. BITCH! Except her heart still skipped a beat when the Hiwatari finally glanced past Tyson over across the street to where she was standing. This is when the blonde knew she was in trouble. But still, she shrugged innocently and waved at the pair.
"Invite her for dinner anytime buddy!" Tyson finished and then walked back over to Pearl, to join in waving goodbye.
