Love The Way You Lie; Chapter 15. Ruining Michelle And Kai's Relationship Then Their Plan.
When do I get a fucking day off?! – The blonde American thought to herself and kicked off her flip-flops into a random direction. They clearly weren't suitable footwear for a sport. But Pearl was determined to wipe this girl off the map and erase her out her lip for good. "I am going to make you regret this." The powerful Liberty holder stated and began to pull the equipment from her purse, preparing her launcher.
"Oh come on now Pearl. I could beat Tyson with my eyes closed." Michelle pouted her lips and began to load her launcher too, aiming it back at the opponent, who the model would claim is a worthy rival. "Besides, I think we should make a deal to make things really interesting for each other."
Immediately the ex-girlfriend shifted her eyes from her replacement and scanned them over to the Russian, who at this point, was sat down and tossing his beyblade within the palm of his hand back and forth. "What?" He called out coldly, dying to grin in a sly manner. Oh this was all too good for him right now. But judging by the anger inside those chestnut brown eyes, it was clear this girl wasn't going to go down without a fucking good fight, until she is black and blue.
"Don't you what me Hiwatari." Pearl hissed and rotated her neck in a 360 circle. "What's your bet then Michelle? You have my bit-beast?"
The slim tanned brunette then laughed and nodded a no. "I will replace you on the team. After all, it would be in the teams interests as well as mine." Michelle announced and gazed her eyes into Pearl's confidently.
Pausing a moment to register what she just heard, the American glanced over her shoulder to witness her teams reaction. They all looked so speechless that none of them said a word. It was clear to them this was all going too far, so far they were becoming powerless.
But that soon changed after about 30 seconds, when Tyson stood beside the girl and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I know this is a stupid gamble. But I know you wont lose. Anyways, you ain't going no-where. That's coming from me. The deputy team captain and world champion." What the Granger was hinting, was that he surely had more authority than Kai, especially since the rest of the team nodded with agreement to his comment. He smiled warmly and winked playfully.
For the first time in a long time, Pearl felt so secure because someone finally had faith in her and they were fully supporting her, no matter the win or lose ending. She turned around to hug the broad Japanese male in a friendly manner, really grateful. "I'm glad you changed your tone from earlier. Thanks Tyson. I don't know what I would do without you guys. When I am done, we have to have a re-match soon." The blonde stated and patted his back a few times before releasing from the hug.
"Go kick some ass girl!" Hilary cheered and placed her fist up into the air. "We know you can do it."
Laughing at the group, she turned her attention back to the beautiful and wealthy girl, to only shrug at her arrogantly, well why not? The brunette looked at Kai, giving off such an insecure glare. "Fine. We'll play by your rules. But if I win, you have to leave and never come back near us." Pearl answered and grinned. It was obvious the confidence had switched between the two within a heartbeat, especially when Michelle realised that these guys have accepted the newbie. Even Hilary!
So why is Kai so determined to get rid of her then? – The sexy model asked herself mentally and growled at the intimidating scene before her. "Will you hurry up. I have a championship to join." Michelle snapped and launched her beyblade at the blonde.
Wow, doesn't that look familiar – Pearl gulped and launched her beyblade in sheer panic, to knock the attack off course from her face. It was a close one, but Liberty wasn't prepared to take no shit, especially as she wanted a day off. The Eagle rose out the beyblade and glanced at the owner of the golden beyblade before her.
But within a blink, the rivals bit-beast rose from her beyblade; a huge ancient fire demon. "Are you impressed Pearl? That tiny bird wont stand a chance." Michelle chuckled and closed her eyelids to begin planning her attack, which shall she use? The most deadliest to show off? Or the most cruellest? A slave to the devil is never kind or merciful. "Possess it Pyro." She commanded and waited for the sounds of the American Eagle to begin screaming with pain.
Within seconds, it felt like time just stood still, even Pearl's muscles tensed and her head began throbbing. "Possess?" She glanced up at the demon like an innocent child, wanting to cry out for a hero. But she clenched her fists and began to blank out Liberty's cries to prepare her defence. It really couldn't focus, and the longer the blonde took to react, the more she was losing her bitbeasts control.
"I don't think so you cheeky bitch." Noticing the model had cheated in the beginning, the owner leaned down to the ground to pick up a huge rock. "Eat Earth you ugly bastard!" Pearl threw the rock at the demon's head, to knock it off course for a second, freeing her bitbeast from the mind destroying situation.
"What the…" Michelle opened her eyes and twitched when she watched the rock fall down to the ground. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
"That's just made us even!" Pearl snapped back and immediately put her gaming face on. "Liberty! Shooting Star attack!"
Watching the Eagle surround itself with a few large stars, Liberty then lifted its wing to fire them at the underworld demon. But just when the red fiery creature with two arms, a pair of legs and a disturbingly horrifying face planned its defence without its owners permission, the powerful bitbeast picked up a bolder with its evil presence force and threw it at the bird to block itself from all the sharp stars. Yet, surprisingly, the rock was smashed into pieces and parts were flying everywhere.
"AH!" Pearl yelped in pain and placed her hand onto her throbbing rib. One of the pieces have just hit her and it left such a shocking pain in her body, that it just went into a lock down, numbing it down. "You better not have planned that!"
The dust cleared and everyone began coughing and waving the cloud out their faces. They were all worried sick to see who the final result was, especially when everyone but Kai had their own favourite to win.
"Erm guys." Max leaned down to the ground to pick up the unspinning golden beyblade. "I think Pearl is sticking around with us for a long time."
Blinking a few times, Rei's eyes widened with joy and he wrapped his arms around those near him. "She won!" He cheered and laughed with happiness. So proud to see the rest of the Bladebreakers had reacted in the same way. Hilary clapping, Max and Kenny were hugged by Rei, meanwhilst Tyson ran over to the exhausted member and glomped her so care freely.
"Uh. Damn." Pearl gasped and collapsed down to the ground, struggling to gasp for air. "Tyson, buddy. I need an ambulance."
The pain in her rib was becoming unbearable, especially when her nerves just realised what happened properly. The young girl finally allowed her pride guard down and released some of the water that had been building up inside those insecure chestnut brown eyes.
"Man, I wonder how Kai must have felt, watching his current girlfriend beyblade his ex." Max questioned curiously before walking over to Tyson, as he just looked so shocked and frightened. "Huh?"
"What ex?" Michelle repeated and finally pulled herself up from her knees weakly, covered in scratched and cuts. "Max?"
"Oh no Max." Hilary gasped and pulled a brave smile. "You didn't know?"
Obviously not – The tanned brunette thought to herself and walked closer to the American male to accept her golden worn out beyblade from him. "You went out with Kai?" She asked, looking down to the squirming blonde.
"This really isn't the time to talk about this." Tyson snapped and took a deep breath to try and stay calm. "Do you mind if we see where it hurts?"
"Fuck off!" Pearl screamed crying.
"I will take that as a no then." The champion slapped his forehead, feeling an idiot for asking. Woman!
"Can we calm the language please." Kenny interrupted. "I will phone an ambulance, Tyson. Run to the reception and ask for some ice."
Meanwhile, behind the scenes was a model and a lone-wolf. Kai walked over onto the scene and barged past everyone that was in his path to the girl in pain. It was clear his girlfriend had let him down, and now at this moment in time, he had some explaining to do, especially when he heard Max's comment from 50 yards away. Dickhead – He rolled his crimson eyes and crouched down Pearl. It was irritating about the fact she was wearing a dress, but if the Hiwatari knew her like he did, she'd be wearing shorts. So ready to take the risk, he lifted up her dress to notice that she was wearing a pair of jean shorts to cover her underwear. Thank God!
But the further up the boys eyes went on her body, they noticed a huge purple bruise appearing on her toned stomach. "That doesn't look good." Rei announced and accepted the ice from Tyson, who was running back from the hotel. "Quick, put this on." He said, trying to stay calm, but it was clear everyone was worried and panicking.
Everyones heart was pounding against their chest and because the blood in their broad bodies were rushing around their veins quickly, people started to get uncontrollable. "Kenny!? Have you phoned that ambulance yet!?" Hilary called out at the brunette who was on hold.
"Oh God. What if she is too injured for the season?! I don't want her here." Tyson snapped and glared at the model with disrespect. "And don't even think of suggesting it either. It's a no babe."
"Tyson! Calm down." Rei snapped. "I am sorry Michelle."
"Trust you to lift everything up." Pearl snapped at the Dranzer holder. "Why do you even care anyways? You were planning on replacing her with me. You still ain't giving up on trying to get rid of me."
These twisted games weren't the best idea to play right now. But despite the fact she was down injured, she was in more pain to throw out more empty and violent words. Except, slowly, a heavy sigh left Kai's dry throat and he glanced his crimson eyes into hers. "Oh shut up." He then grabbed the ice from the distracted Kon's hand and slapped it onto the girls swollen and bruised rib. What is the point on continuing these games anymore? She just keeps throwing all his sly ideas back into his face. This girl was staying put. Bitch.
Slowly fading into the background, the wealthy woman who was convinced her dreams in a beyblading career and modelling had just gone down the toilet, and that was all thanks to a selfish beyblader, who was trying to get rid of his ex on the scene. The now raw woman placed her beyblade and launcher back into her purse and walked back into the hotel to begin packing.
Her and Kai, were over. No doubt she'll tare his head off after he's done faffing with the girl he really cares about. Love and hate, their very close together. Now Michelle found out why. But everyone knew, their first love, was always their hardest and longest to deal with.
Waddling out the hospital inspection room on crutches, the girl looked at her ex boyfriend and laughed faintly. "Out of everyone who came with me in the ambulance. It had to be you." Pearl exclaimed and watched him stand up onto his feet in the waiting room.
The ambulance that transported her to the hospital only allowed one of the boys to go with her, obviously, the sly Hiwatari pushed through them and darted into the van, ignoring the fact they were all cussing underneath their breath at him when his back was turned.
That was the least of his worries right now. The bluenette looked her up and down like a concerned friend for the first time in a long time. "Whats the damage?" He asked and placed both of his hands into his pockets coolly. Kai was prepared for the worst, not from his team-mates, but for the damage that his recent ex-girlfriend had done to his newbie on the team.
"I have damaged the tissue. Apparently if the rock had went any further, my ribs would have been next." The blonde bit her lower lip anxiously. Not in a long time had she ever got this emotional and it was really damaging her pride. But on the other hand, just by looking in Kai's eyes, she could see that he was slowly crumbling. "I know I shouldn't really care. But, are you okay captain?"
"If you must know. Me and Michelle ain't together anymore." A cruel smirk crept up onto his lips. "But that's not important. What did the doctor say about you beyblading?"
Pearl then nodded a no and pretending to keep in a calm state, despite the fact that was the best news she'd heard this year so far. In her mind mentally, she was dancing with so much relief. Maybe her and Kai can work on this dodgy situation to repair the damage that's been done. Not romantically, but as a captain and team-member. "He said for three weeks I am out. It looks like you will have to participate." She chuckled and looked around the hospital, to notice the rest of the gang hadn't made it yet.
"I guess it does." He repeated dryly and shrugged stubbornly. "But until then, Mr Dickinson isn't very happy with you, because you're the reason we all missed out flight."
"Ah, he'll get over it." Pearl rolled her eyes, not really bothered. "Wait till he gets the rest of the bad news, I think he's going to be pissed at you."
"He can stick it. I got more important things to worry about. Like training and managing a team." Kai then stubbornly pulled his mobile phone out of his pocket, to phone the local taxi company and get a lift back to the Texan hotel.
"True. But Kai." Pearl sat down on the waiting room chair to calm down her aching body, but she soon stood herself up as a shocking pain vibrated through her bruised area, arching wasn't a good idea. "But you still haven't answered my question. Why you?"
He lowered the phone from his ear for a moment when it was ringing. "Because I know you'd do the same for me." Kai confessed in a dull tone and put the phone back to his ear, to arrange a taxi.
