And the drama continues! I hope you all are enjoying this story, lets try to make it one of the most read and reviewed!
Katy was laying on her bed, crying into her pillow as she continued to feel small pulses of pain go through her body. "I can't stand this anymore! I have to do something", she thought as she stood up and looked around for something sharp, digging through the drawers of the hotel room and going into the bathroom. After looking around for some time, she found what looked like an old fashion shaver; an object someone must've left behind. "I guess this will have to do", she said as she started to take off her shirt, immediately noticing just how red and swollen her scar was. "Don't worry Black Dranzer, you will soon be free", she said quietly before she took off her shirt completely, gripping the shaver tightly as she raised her arm to stab herself.
Kai walked up to her door and tried to knob, seeing it was unlocked before entering. He was shocked to see it was unlocked, ready to reprimand her for keeping the door unlocked as he entered. "Katy why is the do- What are you doing?!", Kai's demeanor went from calm to panicked as he charged at Katy, grabbing the wrist that held the shaver and slamming it on the bed to make her drop it. "Let go of me, Kai! Just let me end this!", she screamed as she struggled against his hold on her, using her other hand to push on his face; trying to twist her body to unbalance his, but he used his knees to stabilize himself over her. "Katy, stop it! You don't have to do this!", he said desperately as he grabbed her other wrist and pinned it down.
Katy froze when she realized she couldn't move, looking up at Kai with a shocked but confused look on her face. "I can't take this anymore, this constant worrying and fear; the pain; the secrets!", she said as she tried to pull her hands out of his grip, but he was too strong for her. Kai couldn't stand to see her like this, looking at the shaver she still gripped in her other hand. "You can't do that to yourself Katy, you'll hurt yourself worse than Black Dranzer", he tried to say calmly, but he couldn't help the anger and fear he felt. "Then how do you suppose he comes out?! I refuse to let him just burst out of me; that could kill me!", she yelled as more tears formed in her eyes.
"Katy calm down! I promise, we will figure something out ok? You have to stay strong, for your own good", he said sternly as he looked into her eyes, watching tears flow from her eyes. "I can't, I can't be strong anymore. I've been strong for a long time, the only person who ever cared about me is gone!", she cried. Kai couldn't help it, this was too much for him to bear any longer.
With one swift move, he yanked the shaver out of her hand and stood up, throwing the shaver on the nearest desk. "Do you not understand that you have a whole team that cares about you?! You can't act carelessly!", he yelled as he watched her sit up, covering herself with a pillow. "Oh, this team cares for me? I'm pretty sure Rei hates me because of all this, he thinks we are messing around!", her voice was angry, shaky and her eyes full of emotion. "I'm aware of how Rei feels, that's why I disappeared for a while", his words surprised Kai, Rei must have it out for both of them.
"What did you say when he asked about you and I?", she asked as a small blush formed on her face, thinking of what it would be like to be Kai's girlfriend. Kai shook his head as he looked at the ground; "What do you think I said? Do you want me to say we are messing around? I will not do that, even if we were", he explained with a wave of his hand. Katy didn't have to ask why, it would make Kai a hypocrite for dating someone on the team when he just punished Rei for doing the same thing.
"Just answer one question for me, Kai", she took in a breath. "What are your thoughts about me? You're giving off a lot of hints but not being direct, and its driving me crazy", she said as she hugged the pillow tighter; preparing for the heavy blow.
Rei and Victor stared each other down, neither one bothering to leave or make advances towards each other. "What are you doing here Victor? Lee sent you home a long time ago!", Mariah yelled from behind Rei. Victor only smirked; crossing his arms; "You can't get rid of me that easily, I'll do anything for love. I love you Mariah", his words made both Rei and Mariah sick. "I already told you Victor, I don't love you! I love Rei, and he's the only one I love!", she continued defending. Victor then laughed out loud; "Really? That's not what you said to me the other night! You told me you would go to the ends of the earth for me, and you would forget all about this loser who chose another girl over you", Victor mocked, seeing the anger rising in Rei's face.
"Was this before or after you gave her a black eye?", Rei asked as he approached Victor in an intimidating manner. "If that slut would learn how to keep her fucking pants on, I wouldn't have had to give her a black eye", Victor spat; before Rei punched him hard enough to knock him into the wall. Spitting out some blood, Victor slowly recovered from the hit; "You'll pay for th-", he was cut off by another punch to the mouth, Rei repeated it three more times before kicking him in the head. "Rei Stop!", he heard Mariah yell before he knelt to Victor's level, grabbing his hair to make him look at him. "If you ever touch or go near Mariah again, I'll personally see that you don't go home unscaved. Do you understand me?", Rei hissed before he slammed Victor's head into the wall behind him; grabbing Mariah's hand and leading her away from the battered Victor.
Slowly and painfully, Victor rose from his spot on the ground, wiping the blood away from his mouth as he sent chilling glares in Rei's direction. "You're the one who won't be going home unscaved", he thought as he narrowed his eyes sinisterly.
Kai didn't know how to answer her question; whether to make his feelings a reality or to continue fighting against them. Seeing her in such a vulnerable state, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to her about his feelings. "Katy, this isn't the right time", he said as his eyes traveled the pillow that covered her body. Katy followed his gaze, remembering that she didn't have a shirt on as she quickly put her shirt back on. "There, now spill it", she was determined to find out what was going on inside of his head, her eyes burying themselves into his as she waited for him to answer. Kai was growing annoyed by her persistence, sighing heavily as he rolled his eyes. "I don't know what you want me to say, I've never felt this way before", his words shocked her, even though they were vague.
"What way is that?", she asked quietly, her eyes never leaving his. The moment suddenly became very tense as Katy waited for Kai to say something, her hands gripping the sides of the bed as the anticipation started to get to her. He couldn't put it into words, just the thought of making himself vulnerable made him cringe. "I can't say it, I've never felt such feelings for anyone before. I don't know what to do", he thought before the sound of the door opening made them both jump, both facing the door to see Hilary walking in.
"Hey, you two, what's going on?", Hilary asked as she shut the door, feeling like she just walked into a very awkward situation. Turning back towards Kai, Katy just sighed lightly before relaxing; feeling disappointment wash over her. "Nothing, Kai was just leaving; right?", Katy's words snapped him back to reality, nodding as he grabbed the shaver from the desk and walked out. "Goodnight", he said quickly before shutting the door.
Hilary took this chance to confront Katy, throwing her purse on the floor with a heavy thud. "Do you mind explaining what happened earlier?", Hilary snapped, crossing her arms as she waited for an answer, like a mother who just found out her kid has been stealing.
"What do you mean? Rei is the one that got in my face", Katy answered as she relaxed against her bed, grabbing her book and beginning to read where she left off. "That's not what I'm talking about Katy, and you know it. Stop playing dumb with me, what the hell is going on with you?!", Hilary began to yell as she approached her, causing Katy to put her book down and stand up. "Do yourself a favor and get out of my face Hilary", Katy threatened as she stood her ground, balling her fists.
"You looked like you were about to fall over in the cafeteria; why is that?", Hilary asked once more, also standing her ground. Katy couldn't say anything, not now; hopefully not ever. Kai was in the right place at the right time to find out what's going on, is why he is the only one who knows. "You wouldn't understand, so just leave me alone", Katy demanded before getting under the covers; hinting that she was going to sleep. Groaning out of frustration, Hilary rolled her eyes and made her way into the bathroom for a shower, slamming the door as she did so.
Mariah brought Rei a glass of water as they hung out in her hotel room, seeing as Lee was at the gym for the time being. "You didn't have to go that far", she said quietly as she analyzed his knuckles, noticing the red marks and cuts. "I didn't go that far, he's still alive, isn't he?", Rei sarcastically said but he was being honest, he wanted to kill him. "Yeah but, I still think you went a little far", her words were only angering him; shooting a nasty glare at her. "Just whose side are you on, Mariah? You don't think what he did or said wasn't too far?!", he said loudly as he stood up, putting the glass heavily on the night stand; looking down at her with furious eyes. Mariah didn't know what to say, afraid of saying the wrong thing and upsetting him further. Taking in a breath as she held in tears, she simply nodded to his words. "I'm sorry, that's not what I was getting at. I just don't want to see you in that light, is all", she replied timidly.
Her words were like water to his fire, he quickly calmed down when he saw the look of fear on her face. Running a hand over his face, he cursed to himself; "Damnit..", he whispered before sitting back down on the bed, he pulled her into a tight hug; burying his face into her hair. "I'm sorry Mariah, I'm so sorry", he whispered as he hugged her tighter. Tears escaping from her eyes, Mariah hugged him tight, feeling Rei pull back far enough to bring her into a kiss.
Katy tossed and turned in her sleep, sweat dripping from her forehead as her eyes squeezed shut. Her breathing was heavy, her hands gripping the bed sheets tightly…
NIGHTMARE
Bryan was on top of her as she struggled against him, until she felt his knife against her throat, her body frozen from fear. "It would be so much easier for me to just slice Black Dranzer out, but unfortunately for you; I like anticipation", she heard him say as she felt him trail the knife down her throat and over her chest.
She saw her mother's Beyblade in Bryan's hands; Black Dranzer housed in the middle of it. "I think Black Dranzer likes his new home, what do you think?", she heard Bryan say as he launched the Beyblade in her direction, Black Dranzer suddenly emerging from the blade and charging towards her with a loud screech.
REALITY
Katy almost fell out of bed from the shock of the nightmare, catching herself on the nightstand as she snapped her eyes open. Looking behind her, she's surprised the catch on the nightstand didn't wake up Hilary. The pain she didn't know she was feeling was starting to show itself as her adrenaline went down, making her cringe from the pain but she managed to keep quiet.
"I really can't take this anymore", she thought as she walked into the bathroom and washed her face, taking small drinks of her water as she did so. She looked at herself in the mirror, standing up straight as she took in a breath; but she noticed something on her shirt that wasn't there when she went to bed.
Blood.
"Shit", she cursed as she looked down at her shirt, seeing a small spot of blood where her scar was located; pulling her shirt up to see her scar was bleeding from a spot in the middle. Running her finger across the split skin, she hissed from the pain of it before she started to frantically look for a first aid kit. When she couldn't find one, she slammed her hand on the counter; "Fuck!", she whispered before she quietly walked out of her room, grabbing her key before she did so.
"Shit, what do I do?", she thought as she looked at the door across the way from hers, Kai's room. He would be the only one to answer the door, and she could only hope that Rei was with Mariah or anywhere but in the room sleeping.
Hesitantly, she walked up to the door and knocked lightly, thinking she should've knocked harder if Kai was sleeping; but to her surprise, he answered the door quicker than she thought. "What?", he asked before he noticed the blood stain on her shirt. "What happened?", he asked as he grabbed her arm and pulled her inside. "Uhm, I don't have a first aid kit, do you have one?", she asked innocently as she watched him search the bathroom for a kit. "That doesn't answer my question, you didn't try to take him out, did you?", he asked as he made her sit on his bed, but she didn't let him go any further. "How can I do such a thing when you took my only weapon for that?", she asked sarcastically as she dressed her injury, quickly placing a big bandage on it.
"What happened?", he asked gently, sitting next to her as he watched her put the first aid kit on the night stand. "I had a nightmare, that Black Dranzer was inside of my mother's Beyblade; and Bryan was his blader", she explained as she looked at her lap. Kai couldn't help but think that was Boris's plan this whole time; to take her mother's Beyblade to give Black Dranzer a new home. However, that wasn't the only thing on his mind.
"Why are you awake anyways? It's 2am", she commented as she looked at the clock, shocked by how late it was, and he was actually awake. Kai looked into her eyes, taking in a breath before speaking; "I keep thinking about what you asked me earlier, about the way you make me feel. I can't explain it, but I know what its real", his words woke her up even more, as if she wasn't already on high alert.
"Kai-", he cut her off. "Katy, I hate the idea of you and Rei together, I have felt this way for a while but only realizing it now. I tried to fight this, but I can't anymore", he suddenly let out; much to Katy's surprise. "What are you talking about? Fight what?", she asked as she made him look at her by pushing on his shoulder. "Katy, it was hard enough for me to say that; I know you know what I'm talking about", he said as he took her hand into his, squeezing it tightly just like he did on the plane.
Kai wasn't as open about his feelings as Rei was, but just those words alone were enough for Katy to understand. As their eyes connected, the air between them started to become thin; before Katy knew it, Kai started leaning towards her. "Kai..", she whispered as their lips were now inches apart; "Shh, don't say a word", he said before their lips finally met.
Her heart skipped a beat, chills shot up her spine, it felt like an electrical shock went through her whole body. "Oh my god, he's kissing me", she thought as she hesitantly kissed him back. Kai pulled back for a moment to look into her eyes, seeing if there was any sign of discomfort. When he saw there wasn't, he leaned in once more and kissed her again, this time more passionately.
"You make my mind go crazy Katy, I have to know more about you", he thought as his hand found its way to the back of her neck, keeping her in place as he continued kissing her.
"He actually admitted something truthful, I can't let him go; I won't let him go", she thought as her hands found themselves on his chest, trailing up to his shoulders as she kept up with the kiss.
A Bit of a short chapter yes, but hey, what about that kiss huh? Forgive me if its not as dramatic as I intended it to be, but it was 2am when I finished this and my contacts were messing with me along with the need for sleep. Leave reviews!
