Love The Way You Lie; Chapter 20. He Returns And Things Get Difficult.
"Since when does Mr Dickinson pay for an injured beyblader to tag along?"
"See that's the thing. The hospital got too much for me and I got bored. So I made him bring me back here with you guys. Man, I met some pretty ladies in there…"
Surprised at the familiar face who was sitting on the sofa like a demanding child, the champion still glanced his teddy bear brown eyes at his mobile phone, hoping to hear from either Kai or Pearl.
Still, nothing. No surprise there. No doubt their having a blast now nobody was looking at them.- Tyson was clearly livid and because this emotion was so strong, he didn't really know how to welcome Diachi back.
"We are so happy to see that you are getting better Diachi. I bet you only have like two weeks left in that cast don't you?" Rei spoke and handed Diachi a drink.
"Pft yea. The doctor said I don't have long left." The youngest beyblader answered and turned his attention to the boy who he saw as a brother. "Tyson! Have you saw the girl who Kai is dating? I saw her on the news and man she is hot!"
"Which one?" Max spilled the beans again by accident, to only have a playful whack around the head by Hilary. "Oh yea. Haha."
Diachi then paused with his eyes widening. "What do you mean which one?! Michelle of course." He then thanked Rei for his drink and accepted it.
"Kai and his ex-girlfriend have left." Tyson then paused as he turned around to finally face everyone. He looked so disappointed and let down. It hurt him that his friends could do this to him; especially when he'd never do this to them. "But why!?"
"Tyson. Calm down." Hilary gasped and approached him to place her hand on his shoulder. "It will be okay. Diachi is back now and we still have enough beybladers to continue the tournament." Of course the brunette was finding it extremely difficult to lift his mood, but she did her best, along with the rest of the team.
They all would sit and think about whats happened long and hard. Except it seemed the person who has just came back for over an hour; seemed to be slightly more intelligent in the sly department than the rest of them. Well, why not? He's in the same shoes as Pearl and Kai, willing to nick Tyson's title.
"Er Tyson. Isn't it obvious? Dude they want your title." The strawberry blond paused to watch his rivals eyes fly wide open in shock. "Is his ex-girlfriend a very good beyblader?"
"Only second best. She defeated Kai like he was a amateur." Kenny answered and began to analyse his data on his laptop, to only feel his glasses fall off his head. Tyson was in serious trouble. Kai and Pearl had improved so much since he first analysed them; and at that point they were ridiculously strong. "I think you guys need to see this."
Was there a link? It seemed the Bladebreakers were closing down on the pair more than they expecting.
Still, their answer was about to be clarified when Tyson heard the sound of his mobile phone vibrate against the front room coffee table. He walked over to it and picked it up, to acknowledge that Mr Dickinson was phoning him. Immediately he answered it.
"Hello?"
Placing on her clothes and whilst clicking those rusty muscles in her toned figure, the bleach blonde American glanced at her lover within the corner of her chestnut brown eye. For the first time in a long time, he finally made her smile cheerfully and revived that love sick feeling in her stomach.
They'd made love this time; it wasn't just selfish sex like the last time. And when the girl paused to compare the two as she began to butter their burnt toast (because the toaster was shit) she really could tell the difference on which was better.
But she was soon awoken out her distant thoughts when Kai appeared behind her, glancing his fiery crimson eyes down at the breakfast his new tag-team mate had done her best to prepare. Instantly the smell made his mouth go dry. "Pearl. I ain't fucking eating that." He spoke coldly and watched her glance at him with her jaw wide open in shock. "I would rather pay for a meal again than eat that death trap." Its true, his girlfriend couldn't really cook and the appliances in this dump looked poisonous.
"Nothing is ever good enough for you is it Mr Hiwatari?"
"Do you want breakfast or not?"
Huffing in a sulkish manner, Pearl tossed the butter knife carelessly and followed him to pick up her coat and luggage bags. "You are so spoilt." She stated and followed him out to the taxi he'd already called earlier. The fuck? He must of planned this – The Liberty holder thought to herself, really feeling the 'let down' feeling now. Not to mention the cold weather didn't help in this rough part of town.
Still, they got in to the taxi and Kai spoke in his Russian tongue to the driver. Pearl had no idea where they were going or what was going on, so she just sat and began to stare out the window to watch the scenery just pass them by.
"So, where are the American Evolutions most likely to be found?" The bluenette asked curiously, breaking the awkward silence at the same time.
She shrugged and blinked blankly. Its been a long time since she last hung out with them, they may have changed their flow by now. But still, she relied on her memories and spoke what first came to mind. "They usually travel in a black van. That is basically their home."
Kai then felt his muscles tense. "What?" That really wasn't very helpful at all! – He was dying to scream out in frustration. He rolled his eyes and picked up his mobile phone. "I'm going to call Mr Dickinson to sign me a contract with them." The Dranzer holder announced and placed the gadget to his ear.
Pearl then suddenly felt a twitch shift through her figure. "You mean us? They will not accept you on that team without me Kai." She said in a serious tone.
"And what makes you think they'll take a traitor back?"
What a bastard! – No matter how many times Pearl thought or said that about him, that didn't change her feelings for the sly Russian. That's what made her life so fun and not boring, Kai made it an adventure. Meanwhile she would always twist everything and make it troublesome.
"What if Mr Dickinson refuses to allow you to sign a contract with them? Hello you are signed to the Bladebreakers!"
"And you think that is going to stop me."
"You'll be surprised. The Evolutions are one tight group. Besides, you're just as much as a traitor as I am!"
"I'm not arguing about this situate….." That's when he forced himself to shut up as Mr Dickinson answered the phone. "Where can I find your new puppets Dickinson?"
'Kai? I hope you don't mean the American Evolutions.'
"It was nice of you to tell us this by the way Dickinson. Some faithful manager you are."
'They are a very talented team Kai and I have as much faith in them as I do in you boys. Now, what do you want?'
"I want to find them."
'Look, if you are still bitter about what happened earlier. You mustn't be. I have dealt with the issue and the Evolutions have fled to the otherside of the country to prepare for their match against you boys.'
"That's not what I asked. Where are they? I want to join their team and sign a contract." Kai then paused to shift his attention beside him at the sulking blonde.
'And I suppose Pearl is with you?'
"Don't make me ask again."
Sod all this, I think we should be discussing our relationship. Then slaughtering Tyson. – The spoilt blonde thought to herself and sighed impatiently at the ambitious Russian. It was stupid to argue with him all the time. Though when she looked back at the driver for a moment; it made her day to watch the nosey git watch Kai shout on the phone in English.
"He's just heard some bad news." Pearl winked, hoping the Russian taxi driver understood her a little. "Kai Hiwatari can be a little drama queen."
Hanging up the phone from their manager, the deputy team captain looked his depressed expression back at his team, who were holding on to a thread for good news. "He's gone alright and so is Pearl. But that's not the worst of it, guess who is on there way here right now."
"Hiro? Oh I am so glad he is coming back. He'll sort everything out." Hilary was then interrupted by Tyson as she sat down on the sofa. "Huh?"
"Michelle. Urghhhh!"
"Wow. I never saw that coming." Max gasped. "I wonder how she wormed her way around Mr Dickinson?"
Rei then slapped his forehead and felt his cheeks flare up with embarrassment for his friend. "Max…Please don't say that again." He hinted, trying to save his backside from getting into trouble again.
