Finally right?! Its about time Katy and Kai lock lips…don't worry, more to come! Enjoy 😊
Note: If some of you are looking for detailed battles, I'm not much into writing battles unless its Katy or Kai fighting for Katy. Other than that, I am not that familiar with the other bit beasts so I'm just going to be vague about the battles…but let's face it, this story isn't about battles anyways 😉

The next day, the second round of the tournament began; with tougher teams and bigger crowds. The bladebreakers were already in the middle of battling the All Stars, Rei had already battled and Max was up next. However, the tension between Katy and Hilary was getting to be much bigger than it was last night. It was as if Hilary knew that Katy and Kai kissed, or maybe it was just Katy's nerves at the thought of last night's events.
"I seriously don't know what to think", Katy thought as she closed her eyes. "That kiss meant something, something deep; but he hasn't spoken a word to me since", her thoughts spoke as her eyes trailed down his muscles, lightly biting her lip.
LAST NIGHT
When Kai kissed her a second time, Katy felt like her whole body was on fire but more of a 'in the heat of the night' kind of way. Her hands traveled up and down his shoulders, coming to rest on the side of his face as he started to deepen the kiss further. She could feel him start to push her backwards to lay her down, but she caught herself and broke the kiss. "Kai; can we take things slow?", she asked with a smile, both were breathing heavily as their eyes met.
Kai almost laughed as he straightened himself, resting his elbows on his knees. "I wasn't about to have sex with you Katy, nor was that even on my mind", he tried to lie but even he couldn't deny it, he did want to have sex with her. Katy felt a little hurt by his words at first, but after thinking about it; it wasn't the right time or place to go that route. "What was on your mind then?", she asked hesitantly, resting her hands in her lap as she waited for him to say the obvious answers. "I just wanted to kiss you" or "I like you but I don't want a relationship".
Kai looked at her intently, saying what she didn't expect at all. "To be honest, my mind went completely blank", he answered calmly, his eyes looking back down at the floor. The two were silent for a few moments, he felt Katy move but expected her to get up and leave; instead he felt her press up against his back and hug him around his shoulders.
"Me too", she said soothingly, trying to comfort any insecurities he may have. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone", it was as if she had taken the words right out of his mouth; nodding in approval. "Good, I won't say anything either", he responded.
REALITY
"I'm supposed to keep our kiss a secret, but everyone already thinks we're dating", she thought as her eyes went from Hilary to Rei; to Tyson then Kenny. She could feel the tension coming from them, even though it wasn't as strong as Hilary and Rei's tension.
"So, what's the point?", she continued thinking as she sighed heavily and leaned back in her seat.
The crowd suddenly started cheering as Max walked away with a loss, disappointment written all over his face. "Its OK Max, we are even now. We can still beat them", Tyson said confidently, seeing Kai walk up to the battle ring. "Yeah, right. I just wish I didn't let Emily get the better of me", Max said sadly as he sat next to Katy, feeling her pat his shoulder in support. "you win some, you lose some Max", he heard Katy say soothingly, turning to look at her.
"How are you? Are you OK?", he asked, referring to the night before. "Of course, why?", she asked innocently, though trying to play off his concerns. She knew he saw her scar on the plane, almost had to catch her at the cafeteria and the small talk he had with her in that vending machine area; she knew the questions were coming.
"You just seem different lately, you're freaking everyone out", he whispered to her, not trying to bring any attention to their conversation. Katy just shrugged, crossing her arms as she turned her attention to Kai's battle; hearing the announcer call out "3-2-1 LET IT RIP!" before Kai launched Dranzer. "I'm sorry I freaked you out, I just wasn't feeling well", she said kindly; giving him a warm smile.
Hilary wasn't watching the battle, she was watching Katy and Max talk; her mind was going crazy.
"What in the hell is going on with you?", Hilary thought, crossing her arms as her eyes tried to bury themselves into the back of Katy's head.
EARLIER
Hilary woke up to Katy's alarm going off, moaning out of frustration. "Katy, turn off your alarm", she said in an annoyed manner. When the alarm continued, she rolled over and saw that Katy wasn't in bed, hearing the shower running confirmed where she was located. Groaning as she got out of bed and walked over to Katy's night stand, she slammed her hand on the alarm to turn it off and turned to walk back towards her bed; but stopped when she saw something on Katy's bed.
"Is that blood?", she thought as she got a closer look at the silver-dollar sized blood stain on the sheets. At first, she thought Katy had maybe started her menstrual cycle, but the spot was not located in the proper spot for that. As if the spot on the bed wasn't bad enough, she looked towards Katy's bags and saw it was opened; a blood-stained shirt hanging out of it. When Hilary pulled out the shirt and held it in front of her, she saw there was a blood stain the same size as the one on the bed.
"What the fuck?", she said out loud before she heard the shower shut off, quickly putting the shirt back into Katy's bag and climbing back into bed, pretending like she was just waking up when Katy came out of the bathroom wearing some fresh clothes.
REALITY
Hilary looked away when Katy looked in her direction, feeling her eyes on her. "What kind of secret are you harboring Katy? I will find out, I have to find out", her thoughts continued as her body tensed.
Standing up, Katy decided it was time to make her way to the restroom; walking towards the locker room, her awareness growing as the sounds of the crowd started to become distant. She felt like she was being watched as she kept her eyes on the bathroom sign ahead, walking quickly as she kept her arms wrapped around herself. She felt relieved when she managed to get into the bathroom, walking into a stall and locking it.
While she was still in the stall, she heard someone come into the bathroom and go into the stall next to her. Her body tensed as she finished, unable to see the shoes from under the stall like you could in the American schools.
Walking out of the stall, she walked up to the sink and started to wash her hands, the sound of the water tuning out the sound of the stall door unlocking. Fear took her over when she looked in the mirror to see Bryan standing behind her…
"Yo", he said calmly, a smirk forming on his face as he stood between her and her way out.
Kai finished the battle with a victory, the crowds cheering even louder as their idol blader exited the ring. "That was awesome Kai!", Tyson yelled as he made his way to the bey-dish, excited to start his battle. As Kai made his way back to where he was before, he noticed someone was missing…
"Where's Katy?", he asked Max, who shrugged in response. "I'm not sure, maybe she went to the bathroom?", he gave an unclear, but it was enough motivation for Kai. "Right, I think I might head that way too", he said as he started to walk calmly towards the locker rooms, but then picked up speed when he knew they might not be paying attention.
"Katy, what the hell is wrong with you?! You should've waited for me!", he thought as his body raced towards the bathrooms, feeling like they were farther away than before.
Katy froze when she saw Bryan in the mirror, her body tensing as chills ran up her spine; feeling that urge to scream before he came up behind her quickly, one arm wrapped around her waist and the other holding a knife to her throat. "Oh no, there will be no screaming for you. I just came to see how my bit beast was doing", he said as his hand lifted her shirt to reveal the blood-stained bandage covering half of her scar. A huge smile formed on his face, an evil laughing erupting from his diaphragm.
"Please Bryan, give back my mother's Beyblade", she begged, tears running from her eyes as her hands gripped his arm that was holding the knife to her throat, trying to keep the blade as far away from her as possible. Bryan smiled sinisterly, moving the knife so it was pushing against her chin; moving her head to the side. His breath teased her ear but not in a good way; "Sure thing, an even trade. I have something of yours, and you have something of mine", with those last words, he pushed the knife further onto her chin, kissing her neck almost affectionately; giving her a nauseated feeling.
"You'll get your bit beast, OK? Just-please, give it back", closing her eyes tightly as she tried to imagine herself in a better place, not here at the mercy of this sadistic monster. "I'm not talking about Black Dranzer", he said into her ear, removing the knife only to turn her around and slam her into the nearest wall; almost knocking the wind out of her. Katy tried to scream, but his hand molded itself over her mouth as the knife rested on her neck once more.
"I'm talking about something a lot more personal", he said as his face was merely inches away from hers. At first, Katy was confused but it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what he was talking about. "Kai has already beaten me to Black Dranzer before, but this time, I plan to beat him at something", she heard him say before that god-awful pain erupted once more; sending sharp, throbbing pains throughout her whole body. Despite Bryan's hand over her mouth, Katy managed to let out a scream that echoed within the bathroom; anyone standing outside would hear it. Her teeth then sunk into his hand, forcing him to yank his hand back.
"You little bitch", he scolded as he slammed his fist into her stomach, making her buckle over and curl up on the floor, trying to catch her breath as she coughed. "I'm so sick of waiting for that damn bit beast to come out", he yelled as he repeatedly kicked her in the ribs, sending her into the neighboring wall. As Katy tried to catch her breath, she felt another rush of pain power through her body along with the result of Bryan's kicks; it felt like her whole body was on fire as she felt warm liquid come through her shirt. She knew exactly what it is, feeling a rip-like feeling as more blood poured from her scar; another ear-piercing scream erupting from her. That was when she felt something hard emerge underneath the bandage, keeping her hand on it so it wouldn't fall out.
"Black Dranzer?", she thought before she heard the bathroom door open.
Just then, as if by some miracle, she saw Kai walk through the bathroom door and tackle Bryan onto the floor, knocking the knife out of Bryan's hand. "You son of a bitch! I told you not to go near her!", Kai said as he repeatedly punched Bryan in the face, keeping himself on top of him as Bryan fought back. Katy could feel herself start to grow weak from the blood, watching Kai completely pulverize Bryan's face. "Kai-Kai!", she managed to yell loud enough for him to stop, breathing heavily as his knuckles started to bleed from the hits and swell up. Grabbing the front of Bryan's shirt, he made him look into his eyes. "Next time, I will kill you", he threatened before slamming Bryan's head into the floor, almost knocking him out as he stood up and walked over to Katy, shocked by the amount of blood that was leaving her body.
"Hold on, stay awake Katy", he said as he picked her up in his arms and walked out of the bathroom, heading to the locker room. Once there, he locked the door and set her down on the couch that was in the back of the room, grabbing some towels from the racks and placing them on her wound. Katy was starting to go pale, her head was starting to spin.
"Kai…", she let out breathlessly, her hand going to the towels and pushing them away. "Take Black Dranzer out", she commanded quietly as she forced his hand to feel through the bandage. "Katy, we have to get you to a hospital-", he didn't finish his sentence as he felt the hard chip through the bandage, carefully but quickly taking it off and seeing the familiar sight of Black Dranzer.
"Please Kai! Take him out, now", she commanded once more as she grabbed a clean rag from the table and put it in her mouth, to muffle her screams when he did. Kai's hands started to shake, one hand holding a towel to keep the blood from flowing out and the other hovering over what he could see of Black Dranzer, his finger-tips could grip the bit chip. "Just take him out, what are you so scared of?", he thought to himself as he lightly grasped the bit chip with his finger-tips. "OK, 1…..2…3", he said as he started to put out the bit beast, hearing Katy's scream into the balled-up rag she was holding to her mouth. He kept pulling until the bit beast was finally out, blood covered but in-tact.
Once the bit beast was out, Kai held the bit beast in his hands before putting it in his pocket, moving the towel more onto her wound before his eyes went to her face. "He's out Katy, you can relax now", he said calmly, seeing her nod before her eyes rolled up into her head; her body suddenly went limp.
"Katy? Katy?!", Kai panicked as he patted her face, feeling a weak pulse on her neck. "Shit!", he yelled as he scooped her up once more, running to the nurse's station as fast as he could. "Come on Katy, stay with me, please stay with me", he begged as he arrived at the nurse's station, seeing the shocked look on the nurse as he barged in.
"Oh my, what happened?", she asked, slightly panicked as she watched Kai put her on the bed and stepped back; watching the nurse take Katy's shirt off and see the five-inch laceration on her side. Instead of making up a story, Kai had enough; "She was attacked by someone on another team. Bryan of the Blitzkrieg boys", he explained, moving himself to stand by Katy's head, moving some hair from her face. The nurse acknowledged his words, pushing a button for more staff to come into the room for assistance. As two other medics came into the room, they quickly started to put IVs in Katy's arm and put an oxygen mask on her face.
"Her pulse is 54, did you get that IV in?", asked one medic.
"Yes, its in sir. Oxygen is on as well", the other responded as he held the mask to her face.
"We need to stop the bleeding", instructed the head medic as they put pressure on her wound.
Kai couldn't take it, the sight of her in that situation. He made his way out of the nurse's station, tears starting to form in his eyes; which he quickly wiped away as he came into view of his team. They all looked confused, "Hey, there you are. Where's Katy?", he heard Hilary ask as they approached him. Kai didn't answer right away, balling up his fists; he didn't know how to answer but he was also tired of the secrets. "What's going on, Kai?", he heard Tyson ask in a more serious tone.
Looking at his team, everyone was shocked to see tears in his eyes; but not nearly as shocked as they were when he finally spoke.
"We need to talk", he said as he walked into the locker room, holding the door open for them to come in after him.
Bryan was in his hotel room, just getting out of the shower and looking in the mirror to see the damage Kai left behind. His eye was blackened, his cheek badly bruised and cut from Kai's punches. Anger was brewing inside of him, leading to an overwhelming surge of sexual tension; just thinking about Katy drove him insane.
"I will have you Katy, you will be mine; and I'll make sure of it", he said to himself as he stared at himself sadistically in the mirror, laughing like a crazy person.
There you have it folks, Black Dranzer finally came out…now what? Oh no! Its not over, not by a long shot! Leave reviews and give me your ideas!
