Finally an update right? I hope you enjoy!
The crowds were all arriving into the stadium, the atmosphere was getting louder as music started to play and the announcers welcomed the crowds. The bladebreakers were gathered in the locker room, Katy and Hilary hanging out in the back as Kai gave them a pep talk.
Hilary hasn't said much most of the morning, not even a good morning or any verbal slams on Tyson at breakfast. Katy could tell something was up, trying to get her to talk; "Tyson knows by the way", she whispered, not wanting to distract Kai or anyone on the team. Hilary raised her eyebrows, turning towards her momentarily before going back to her previous stance against the wall; "Really?", was all she said. Growing annoyed, Katy turned to face her and crossed her arms; "Ok, what is wrong with you? You've been quiet all morning and you're acting weirder than normal", she said curiously. Hilary was at a crossroads, she didn't know what to do with this whole situation of Katy and Rei, plus being Kai's informant of it all. She promised Katy that she wouldn't tell but she didn't want to betray Kai, the stress was starting to get to her.
"I'm fine Katy, really! I'm just nervous about the first round is all, we're going against some good opponents", Hilary said as cheerful as she could. Katy wasn't too sure, but just shrugged it off; looking back at the team who were all getting ready to head to the stadium before the ushers came in. "Two minutes Bladebreakers", they said quickly before leaving. Katy watched Tyson and Max take in deep breaths, putting their blades back in their fanny packs; "Alright! Let's do this Bladebreakers!", Tyson cheered as he left the room, Rei, Max, Kenny and Katy following.
Hilary was about to follow as well, doing everything she can to put some distance between her and Kai, but it didn't work. "Hilary, can I talk to you?", she heard Kai ask before she could leave, freezing in her tracks. Katy heard Kai ask Hilary to stay behind, thinking this might be the chance for Hilary to get in close with Kai; smirking at her victoriously before leaving. "Umm, sure. What's up?", she asked as she watched Kai walk past her and lock the door, making her heart almost jump out of her throat.
"Did you find out anything?", he asked as he leaned against the door, his hands in his pockets. Hilary felt her throat get dry, it felt like smoke or fire would come out if she tried to speak; her body was starting to shake. "What do I do?", she thought before she was brought back to reality by Kai's voice. "Hilary. Did you find out anything?", he asked once more, his voice more intimidating than before.
"I-uh-umm-no, I didn't find out anything", she tried to lie, but of course, Kai knew better. He stepped closer to her, not in a way to intimidate her but to study her face more, seeing some tiny drops of sweat go down the side of her face. "If there is one thing I know about you Hilary, you're not a very good liar. I can read it all over your face, you do know something", he said as he continued walking closer, her nerves making her back up. "Kai, please. We should really get out there before everyone notices we're still in here", she said as she went to walk past him, but he stepped in front of her.
Kai looked at her for a moment, almost much longer than a moment; all Hilary could do was look down at the floor while crossing her arms as if she was trying to protect herself. "I don't know what to do, do I tell Kai and betray Katy or do I betray Kai to protect Katy? Everyone is going to find out anyways, right?", she thought before the sound of footsteps brought her back, seeing that Kai was leaving. "Forget it, I won't ask you for anything anymore", he said as he unlocked the door.
"Wait!", she suddenly shouted, making Kai stop in his tracks. She looked like she was about to cry; now her body was visibly shaking.
In the stadium, the announcer was introducing the other team while the Bladebreakers waited for their leader to join them; Katy was sitting on the bench with Rei, Max and Kenny while Tyson paced back and forth, obviously annoyed or irritated somehow. "What's with you Tyson? You look like your panties are in a bunch", Katy asked, making Tyson glare at her. "Ugh! Shut up Katy, I'm not in the mood for your crap", he spat, resulting in an eyeroll from Katy. "Well then can you stop pacing? You're making a track in the ground", she commented. Before Tyson could say anything back, Hilary and Kai finally emerged from the locker room.
"Well there you two are! What took you so long?", Tyson asked, receiving no answer from either of them. Hilary looked like she was about to burst into tears and Kai seemed angry, almost scary like angry. He didn't say anything nor look at anyone, just walked up to the announcer and stated their team was finally ready. Confused, Katy looked at Hilary with a concerned look; "What's wrong? I thought you two were hitting it off?", she asked, Hilary didn't answer. Before Katy got the chance to ask her again, the announcer announced the tournament was beginning and Kai was the first one to battle.
"The first battle is about to begin, Kai of the Bladebreakers vs. Luke of the Blading warriors! In 3-2-1 LET IT RIP!", the announcer shouted into the microphone as Kai and Luke launched their blades. The crowd was going crazy, but the battle was over before 30 seconds had passed. Kai had knocked Luke's blade out for the ring at the launch, completely effortlessly. Catching Dranzer, Kai looked at the heartbroken kid across from him, shaking his head as he walked back to his team.
"Wow Kai, you could've at least given everyone a show", Tyson snarked, getting no reaction out of Kai as he walked to the furthest bench and sat down. Kai was still fuming, completely fired up to the point of smoke almost illuminating from his skin. The announcer then called Rei to the ring for battle.
"With the first battle ending before the clock hit 5 seconds, lets hope this battle is one worth watching! Rei of the bladebreakers vs Niko of the blade warriors! In 3-2-1 LET IT RIP!", the announcer yelled once more as Rei and Niko launched their blades. Drigger spun around Niko's blade like a tornado, avoiding hits from him and pushing his blade to the edge of the ring. "You guys really need more practice", Rei said as he smirked; "Go Drigger!", he yelled as Drigger launched Niko's blade out of the ring. Niko was in shock at how good the bladebreakers really were, watching his blade hit the ground. "We have a winner; Rei of the bladebreakers! At least this battle lasted more than 10 seconds; next up is Max of the bladebreakers vs CJ of the blade warriors!", the announcer was starting to become very annoying to Katy. All she was thinking about why Hilary and Kai looked the way they did, upset and angry.
When Max got up to the ring, he looked across to see CJ already looked defeated, watching his two other team mates hit the dirt like a sack of potatoes. "3-2-1 LET IT RIP!", yelled the announcer, Max and CJ launching their blades into the ring. "Go Draciel!"; Max yelled as his blade beelined towards CJ's blade, another battle that was over before it even had a chance to get good. Draciel blasted CJ's blade out of the ring with ease, CJ's blade landing at his feet. Heartbroken and confused, CJ picked up his blade and examined it; "We trained so hard, I don't understand", Max heard him say, feeling a bit of sympathy of the team. "Hey man don't worry; you guys will get good. It takes a lot of practice and commitment to do this sport", Max said as he caught Draciel; putting it back in his pocket before walking back to the team. Tyson was happy but disappointed since he didn't even get the chance to battle anyone yet. "Next time, I'm going first", he whined as he crossed his arms, pouting as he sat on the bench.
In the audience, the Blitzkrieg boys were watching as the Bladebreakers completely destroyed the Blade Warriors; Boris was standing right next to him. "Well that was fast", Bryan said as he crossed his arms, smirking. Tala scratched his head a bit, sighing heavily; "Of course Bryan, the Blade Warriors weren't much competition for anyone. We just must make sure we're ready when its their turn to face us", he said confidently. Just then, Boris got out his binoculars and started zooming in on the bladebreaker's team, noticing someone he hasn't seen in a long time. "Hmmm..what have we hear?", he said quietly as an evil smirk formed on his face, getting the attention of Spencer and Tala. "What is it Boris?", Tala asked as Boris handed him the binoculars.
"I want you all to get a good look at the new girl on the bladebreakers, she has something of mine; and I want it back", Boris said with a sadistic voice, watching all the boys look through the binoculars. "Oh my, she's a cutie. Is she the one who has the-", Tala was cut off. "Yes she is, as you know its not going to be easy to obtain it even if we contain her. I have to figure out how to get it back without killing her", he said, his finger brushing the underside of his chin. "Maybe one of us can come up with something?", Bryan asked as he pointed to himself and Spencer.
"This is going to take more than a simple battle Bryan, just leave it to me", Boris instructed before taking back his binoculars and walking towards the exit.
The bladebreakers went back to their locker room, gathering their belongings and heading back to their rooms. Kai decided to go to the workout area to get some anger out on a punching bag and some weights, while Hilary and Kenny got some lunch, Tyson and Max decided to take a nap. Katy was turning on a movie when she heard a knock on her door; seeing that it was Rei through the peep hole and letting him in. "Hey, whats up?", she asked as she sat against the headboard, pressing play on the movie. Rei sat next to her, his hand immediately resting on her knee. "Kai went to workout so I thought it would be safe if I came in here to hang out with you; to see how you're doing", he said as his hand started to travel slowly towards her inner thigh.
A blush forming on her face, Katy pushed his hand off her knee and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Will he be gone long?", she asked, leaning her head on his shoulder. Rei smiled lightly; "I'm not sure but he just left so probably a couple of hours", he said as he looked at her with a mischievous look on his face. Katy then grew a bit nervous, she knew what he was implying; "Umm, Hilary and Kenny went to lunch at the restaurant across the street; they just left too but I'm assuming they will be back sooner than Kai", she said as she started to get up, but Rei stopped her by grabbing her arm. "Then we should utilize the time we do have", he said as he pulled her back to him.
Katy fell against him, almost landing in his lap before she straightened herself up. "By doing what?", she asked, her body starting to shake as she felt Rei's hand come to rest on the side of her neck, pulling her head closer to his. "I think you know", he whispered before kissing her, starting out lightly but quickly making it passionate. Before Katy even had time to react to his sudden passion, he had already pushed her onto her back and was on top of her, using his knees to support his weight in a mount position over her. She could feel herself tensing up, her body shaking even more now; but she was trying to give him a chance to prove himself. "Will he really wait for me?", she thought as Rei broke the kiss to plant butterfly kisses on her neck.
"Its getting very hard to prove that I'll wait for her, I can't help myself", he thought as he moved one of his knees in between her legs, making her open a little for him. When she felt his knee press up against her, she felt a small rush of heat shoot up her body, but she didn't know how to handle it. Pushing on his chest; "Rei, stop", she whispered as she felt him getting more aggressive, starting to lightly bite her neck. When he didn't stop, she pushed on him a little harder; "Rei, please. Stop", she said more sternly, beginning to squirm under his body. "Relax Katy, I won't hurt you. Lets just enjoy each other", he said as he took her chin in his hand and made her look into his eyes, kissing her once more.
She really did try to relax, but she couldn't help but think he was just trying to get in her pants and she knew it could lead to that if she let this continue. "No, get off me", she said as she pushed on his shoulders, but Rei didn't move. He only got frustrated, taking her elbows in his hands and pinning them down. Now Katy was frozen, she didn't know what was going to happen now, but the look in his eyes told her he was conflicted between something. It was like he wasn't even in the moment with her anymore.
Flashback
Mariah giggled as she wrestled with Rei, trying to get on top of him but he was too strong; easily pinning her down on the bed while they both laughed. Smiling down at the one he loved, Rei leaned down and gave her a passionate kiss…
Rolling her onto her back from her position on top of him, Rei positioned himself over Mariah as they continued their dance of passion and love; hearing moans and feeling her body against his was driving him crazy.
Reality
"REI!", her heard Katy yell, snapping back to reality and seeing his position over her, but that wasn't what made him move. Her face spelled out fear, confusion and anger all in one conflicting expression. He allowed her to get up while he sat on the bed, resting his forehead in his hands; "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me", he said as he rubbed his eyes. Katy was standing in front of him now, her arms crossed as she tried to calm down.
"You were thinking of her, weren't you?", she asked, glaring down at him as she watched him look up at her. It was true, Mariah was on his mind while he was on top of Katy; he didn't understand at all. When he didn't say anything, she took that as the answer she expected, stomping towards the room door; "Where are you going?", she heard him ask, turning to face him. "That right there, is why I'm not going to be having sex anytime soon, especially with you. When you're completely over her and I'm the only one on your mind, let me know'', she said before she walked out of the room, slamming the door. Hilary and Kenny were coming back from their lunch when Katy stormed past them, tears streaming down her face; "Katy? What's wrong? Where are you going?", Hilary asked as she watched Katy go around the corner and disappear. "What is going on?", Kenny asked before he saw Rei come out of Katy's room, now even more confused. Hilary knew what was going on, seeing the look of dismay on Rei's face was enough to say it all. "Don't even worry about it Kenny, its an issue beyond our business", Hilary said as she walked towards her room. Rei looked in their direction, mentally cursing himself as he made eye contact with Hilary.
"What a classic, Katy rejected him", Hilary thought as she fished around for her room key. "Hey, you ok?", she asked, receiving a nod from Rei. "Yeah, I'm fine", he answered before he went into his room, slamming the door behind him. "Yeah, sure you are", she thought as she finally found her room key and unlocked the door.
Wiping the tears from her face, Katy slowed down to a slow walk as she went past the lunch area, the workout room and the pool. Her arms were crossed over her chest, almost dragging her feet as she tried to keep her eyes from completely exploding. "I know it took me a while to get over my Ex, but how could Rei try to advance on me like that? After I told him to stop many times and I wasn't ready. I don't think any of this is a good idea anymore", she thought as she continued walking, not paying attention as to who was in front of her, wiping away her tears. She hit someone with a thud, stumbling backwards a bit; "Oh I'm so sorry", she said as she looked up to see a tall, built guy with piercing grey eyes and white hair. He looked frightening, an evil looking smirk forming on his face. "Its ok my dear, you're very beautiful, so I don't mind bumping into someone like you", he said seductively. Katy didn't respond, just started to walk past him. "Well, I'm sorry anyways", she said before she was stopped by his body once more, he had deliberately stepped in front of her.
"Hold on there, what's your name? I think I saw you hanging out with the Bladebreakers, am I right?", he asked. Katy stepped back, uncrossing her arms as she watched his body language. "Yes, do you know them?", she asked suspiciously. "Of course, Kai and I go way back. My name is Bryan, of the Blitzkrieg boys; I'm sure you've heard of us; right?", he asked as he held out his hand. Katy hesitantly took his hand to shake it; "Katy, and no I haven't heard of you", she said as she quickly retracted her hand, feeling very uneasy around this guy. "Oh, I'm sorry, we were previously known as the Demolition boys", he explained, but it didn't help his case.
Seeing the confused expression on her face, he put his hands in his pockets and smirked; "Ok, I get it. You're new to the sport, aren't you?", he asked. Katy laughed a bit, raising an eyebrow. "Why do you ask?", her eyes traveled over his body language, seeing that he was tense, but there was something off about him. Walking closer to her, his eyes buried themselves into hers, making a cold chill go down her spine. "I was just curious as to how our boss knows you and we don't; I'm sure you would recognize him if you saw him right?", his question made her mind go crazy. Now she was really confused, stepping back as he got closer. "Umm, I'm not sure-", she was interrupted by a familiar voice. "Katy", she turned to see Kai walking towards her, his body looked sweaty and swelled from working out; it almost made Katy blush even more as he got closer to her.
"Are you ok?", he asked before laying eyes on his ex-team mate. Katy was so relieved that Kai suddenly appeared from the shadows, her eyes never leaving Kai as he stood beside her. "Yeah, I'm fine", she kept her answer to him short, the situation suddenly got really tense. "Ahh Kai, long time no see. How have you been since joining the Bladebreakers?", Bryan asked in a mocking tone, Kai's glare hardening. When Kai didn't answer, Bryan smirked once more, turning his head towards Katy; "I'm sure I'll be seeing you around very soon Katy", he said as he winked at her, turning to leave.
"I suggest you stay away from her", Kai threatened, much to Katy's disbelief. Bryan only turned his head back, giving off a sadistic laugh before walking away.
Turning towards Katy, Kai's expression went from threatening to confused; "What is he talking about? How does he know you?", he asked. Katy shrugged her shoulders as she crossed her arms. "Your guess is as good as mine, I've never seen him before in my life", she said before turning to go back towards the room. Just then, she remembered what happened this morning between he and Hilary, feeling the temptation and curiosity get to the better of her. "By the way, what was up with you and Hilary this morning?", she asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Hn, I was hoping you could answer the question for me", he said as he walked closer. "I know all about your little secret, so the game is up. Either end it now, or I will bench Rei for the remainder of the tournament", he threatened as he got closer, but she didn't back away like she did with Bryan. Even though he towered over her by a good foot, she stood her ground against him. A new fire built up inside of Katy; "So Hilary told you huh? That's just great", she paused. "Do you know why she told you?", when he didn't answer, she continued. "I'm sure you would've guessed by now, but she has a huge crush on you and would do anything to please you", Katy swore to keep that a secret, but her trust was completely betrayed. She was angry.
Kai didn't know what to think of Katy's words, other than to accuse her of lying or ignore her. He wasn't in the mood to get slapped, so he just went with the second choice, walking around her as he stormed back to his room. Katy didn't let up, basically chasing after him and doing very well at keeping up with him. "What? Don't believe me? Come on Kai, you can't possibly be that oblivious", she insulted, but he kept going. "Anyone could see the signs of it from a mile away Kai, the massage she gave you at the beach, willing to betray her own cousin's trust to get on your good side and admitting this long obsession she's had for you all these years. Did you really not notice?", she asked before he came to a stop, turning to face her.
"Listen, I don't date anyone. It doesn't matter anyways, she and I could never make a good couple", his words shocked her. As he turned to continue walking, she stopped him by grabbing his elbow; "Hold on, what do you mean by that? Hilary is a great girl and you would just turn her away like that? How can you be such a heartless being?!", her voice was getting louder, almost echoing through the halls. "Because I don't like her like that! I only have a heart for one thing, that's beyblading; nothing else!", his tone almost made her speechless. She was about to say something else, but then she heard someone talking in the next hall. It sounded like Rei's voice; and another girl. Her blood then boiled over the edge, completely forgetting about Kai and walking past him at a heavy pace. Kai was about to ask her where she was going, but then he heard Rei's voice also.
Katy walked until she found the hallway of which Rei's voice was coming from, her heart sinking into the pit of her stomach when she saw who he was speaking to; Mariah. Backing up until she concealed herself around the corner, she felt Kai come up behind her and listen in also.
"I still think we can work things out between us, if you would just give me another chance Rei", Mariah took ahold of his hand, lacing her fingers through his. Rei looked like he didn't know what to say, like he was trying to decide to what to do. "I know you miss me, I can tell you haven't been busy, if you know what I mean", she said as she stepped closer to him, making him tense up before he stopped her. "I don't know Mariah, Katy and I just started dating", he stated. Mariah smirked, shaking her head but not backing away from him. "Are you really going to choose her over someone you've been with for a long time?", she asked as she looked up at him, leaning closer like she was going to kiss him.
"Kiss her, I dare you", Katy thought as she watched, tears starting to form in her eyes once more, anger spreading over her face.
Without even realizing it, Rei found his hands circling themselves around her waist, pulling her closer to him. "How can I trust you again after what happened?", he asked as he felt her lean up further. Caressing his face, he could feel Mariah's breath on his lips now; that same sweet smell of her lip gloss teased him; like it always did before. "Let me prove it to you", she said before her lips touched his.
That was enough for Katy, she turned and left without saying a word to Kai; tears already falling down her face. He watched her leave for a moment before looking back at Rei and Mariah, seeing that Rei was already started to kiss Mariah back. "I told you not to do this Rei", he thought as he turned to follow Katy. When he caught up to her, he managed to stop her by gently grabbing her elbow; "Hey, I did tell him not to do this to you. Just thought you should know that; I tried to prevent this from happening before it even began", he said, trying to hold some sympathy in his voice but he was angry about Rei's dishonesty with not only himself but with Katy too. Katy did her best to contain her composure, but she felt like she was about to explode. After a few moments of deep breaths and wiping away tears, she looked up at him; "well you got your answer Kai, you don't have to worry about Rei and I anymore", she said before she continued walking until she got to her room.
He wasn't sure why, but it really bothered Kai to see Katy like that. It was like he watched her heart break with his very eyes; it lit a fire inside of him he didn't know he had. As he watched her go into her room, he sighed heavily as he put his hands in his pockets.
"I told you not to bring her into your heartbreak Rei, you should've listened", he thought before he walked into his own room, slamming the door.
