Hey guys! Here's another late chapter. Thanks to all the people who still review. I love reading your reviews.
Two days has passed since that stunt Boris and Voltaire pulled. Sophia was still confused about the whole situation as well as her whole team. She still remembered that cold and emotionless tone Kai used with her when she asked about them.
Flashback:
"Kai, who were they? From what I gathered, Mr. Hiwatari was your grandfather, right?" she asked softly when he came out from bathroom after taking a shower.
"He's not my anything. Why are you asking? " He replied while drying his hair with a towel. That was his emotionless tone.
"I am sure the team would question me about it," she didn't want to admit that she was also curious.
"That's none of their business. " Now that was his cold tone which sent shivers down her spine. And not the good kind. She kept quiet after that.
Today she was going to get a very important test report. And she was very afraid because of it. Her maths wasn't very strong. Or any subject for that matter except AP English and Biology.
Kai came in their room after jogging, to see that Sophia looked dishevelled, her breathing uneven and frustration-anger mix expression on her face. He went near her and ruffled her hair. One of the things he loved about her features were her hair.
Wait, what?!
Did he just say the L-word?
'No, no he didn't. He's just over thinking things. '
/ Yes you did say the L-word./ spoke Dranzer from inside his head.
'Where did you come from? And I was not asking you.'
/Whatever/ After all, he was Kai's bit beast so he was gonna act like him. Kai smirked mentally. The reason why Kai can hear and talk to Dranzer is that he was injected with such a fluid that was a mix of Dranzer's and his blood, in the abbey. That created a serious bond between them. If the Bitbeast feel close to their owner they can talk to them like Dragoon, but they in return can't hear their owner's response. Dranzer wanted to talk to Kai but Kai was such a closed off kid in the abbey that not even Dranzer was able to break his shell.
" What's got you so frustrated? " He smirked at the groan that left her red plump lips.
"I can't find my spectacles! Have you seen them?"
"Sophia..." He came very close to her. He pulled her closer and dipped his head. His lips were inches away from her. She could feel his breath on her lips and could smell his awesome manly smell which was a mix of some sexy perfume, aftershave and his own awesome smell. She inhaled deeply.
"Yes Kai.." was her breathless reply.

" You've already put it on"
(Ezbl: that actually happens to me. Lol. Not the guy coming close to me just finding my glasses when I already put them on. )
To say that was embarrassing for Sophia would be an understatement.
She was going crazy with worry. She got a C on her test. And her teacher stopped her before she was able to dash out of the class.
She was taking her to the principal aka Mr. Dickinson. Sophia was so embarrassed first that incident in the morning with Kai and now this stupid test. She was frozen as they entered into the room. Just kill her now. There Kai was seated opposite to Mr. D, waiting for them . She should just dig a hole and remain there forever. Now Kai
would think in addition to being clumsy and crazy she was also poor in study. Well she was all of the above. But Kai didn't need to know the third one. Or any one for that matter.
" Ah Mrs. Hubert, please have a seat. We were waiting for you two. Come Sophia, sit " Said Mr. D as Kai stood up so Mrs. Hubert can take a seat.
" So Sophia Mrs. Hubert told me that you aren't going so well in Mathematics. And that can be a problem for your beyblading status." All the color drained from her face thinking that she was being removed from the beyblading team just because of a stupid test
"Umm Mr. D I mean Mr. Dickinson I will do my best from now in every subject just don't remove me from the beyblading team." She said hurriedly.
Mr.D laughed and said, " No I ain't going to take your position back but if you want to continue it you have to do it on one condition. "
Sophia was afraid of that. Very very afraid of that, "Um, may I know that condition? " she looked at Kai for some type of reassurance but all she got was a smirk which confused her even more. It couldn't be so bad if Kai was smirking. Right?
"You have to take tuitions," it was Mrs. Hubert who spoke this time.
"Tuitions?! From who?"
" From Me. " after hearing that reply from a calm Kai, she was stunned into silence.
" Yes Sophia that's the necessary condition if you want to continue your beyblading. 'Cause your grades are not working well in your favour. You need to improve them. "
Sophia was not sure how to respond to that. She was going through a mixture of emotions, Confusion, Embarrassment, Happiness and Intimidation.
O-kay, she was not expecting that. Tutions from Kai. That's going to be a disaster.
It was the first lesson of her tutions with Kai. It has been a total of 17 minutes 34 seconds. Kai clearly knew what he was talking about but now after such a long time she was getting bored. She put her lead pencil between her nose and lips so she was making a pouting face.
Kai looked at her and saw her pose. He didn't know whether he should smile or get angry. Smile at her antics or get angry that she isn't paying attention.
So he went with both, " As cute as you're looking in this, you should pay attention to what I am saying. "
Her cheeks got red, "But Kai this is so boring. What's use of 'Variance' or 'Standard Deviation ' in my life?"
"This is the Base of Statistics. If you don't know this then you can't.." his rest of sentence was cut off by the loud banging on the door.
"Hm? Who's at the door at this time?" Sophia wondered out loud. Kai went to open the locked door with Sophia right behind him. There stood Crystal heaving and looking as pale as a paper.
" Crys, what happened? Why are so looking so frightened? " Sophia asked as she moved towards her cousin-best friend-sister.
" It's... it's Tala. He's... he's in pain." that was all it took for Kai to go running into his brother's room. What he saw also made all color fade from his face.
Tala was there half-laying on the ground howling in Agony. He was clutching his neck with one hand while his other hand was covered in blood. There was a pile of glass shards on the ground which Kai assumed that Tala dropped.
He went near him and called his name but got no response. He shook him a little and Tala looked up. His eyes were red with pain and his pupils were dilated.
Kai took his hand off his neck what he saw made his boil with fury. How dare them! How dare they do this to Tala. He will ruin them. They just wait.
His neck was red and a chip was placed on it. The entire area was stretched and blood was oozing from it. He remembered the day when they came here. He should have known that they came here for a reason.
By this time, Sophia and Crystal had came in the room and Sophia was consoling a crying Crystal. Kai hurriedly passed by them and went to his suite. He opened his wardrobe and took out a bag from it.
Kai pulled out two new injections and a colorless fluid in one bottle and a reddish fluid in another bottle. He went back to Tala's room and filled one injection and injected it directly into that chip. Tala howled from pain but Kai had to ignore it. He took the other injection, filled it and injected it in his vein.
One injection was for sleeping and the other would make the chip stop working. Kai just hoped that Tala would be okay or else there would be hell to pay with.
