Hello my adoring fans! I hope that last chapter was one everyone was waiting for 😉 Only more to come! Enjoy 😊
The next morning came with a soft glow through the curtains, Katy and Kai was still snuggled together under the blankets sound asleep. Katy didn't move from her position on Kai's chest, her arms wrapped loosely around his waist as his arm rested around her waist. When the morning light crept through the curtains, Kai squinted his eyes and woke, going to stretch until he felt the weight of Katy on his chest. He was satisfied to see she was still naked, smiling down at her as he moved her hair from her face.
"what the hell have you done to me Katy?", he thought as he started to slowly work his way out of her arms, being careful to not wake her up. He took his bag and made his way out of the room as quietly as possible, but Katy woke up when she heard the door shut. Feeling around on the bed, she immediately shot up and looked around, Kai was gone.
She felt disappointment wash over her, holding the covers to her body. "I guess you're not man enough to stay with me in the morning", she said as she got out of bed and gathered some clothes for a shower.
When Kai emerged from the shower in his room, he walked out of the bathroom to see Rei sitting on his bed; starting to wake up. "Hey", Rei said as his eyes adjusted and saw Kai with a towel around his neck. Kai didn't reply, just walked back in the bathroom to start brushing his teeth.
"Shit, he's still angry", Rei thought as he walked into the bathroom also, grabbing his tooth brush and beginning to brush his teeth. It was a very awkward moment between the two boys, not a word was spoken between them until either of them were done. "So, you seem different", Rei commented, seeing a confused look from Kai. "You just seem different, you're not as tense as you always were before", Rei clarified as he put his toothbrush back in his travel bag. Putting his toothbrush down, Kai used the towel around his neck to wipe off his face; "Yeah, you would know all about that, wouldn't you?", Kai replied as he walked past Rei, nudging Max's leg to wake him up.
After thinking about it, Rei suddenly stormed out of the bathroom, anger and betrayal caked his face. Max had sat up and began rubbing his eyes, he didn't completely wake up until he heard those words come out of Rei's mouth; "You slept with her, didn't you?!", Rei's voice rung through the hotel room, getting Max's attention but Kai played it off as if he was an annoying fan girl.
"Well, I guess I'll be going back to my room", Max dismissed himself, getting out of the awkward situation as he grabbed his pants and headed back across the hall.
"You did. Tell me!", Rei couldn't believe it, he should've been the one to sleep with Katy, not Kai. His fist was balled up as he stared down Kai, who only looked up at him from his spot on the bed. "No, I didn't sleep with her", he lied, watching as relief washed over Rei's face. "What did you mean by that then?", Rei asked, running a hand through his hair. Kai crossed his arms, sighing heavily as he leaned his head back against the headboard. "Nothing, just had a good night sleep is all", his tone was very dismissive, looking down as he put on his boots. "Lets get going, go wake up Tyson", he ordered, watching as Rei nodded and left the room. When he was alone, he let out a stressed breath and flopped on his back, running his hands through his hair.
"Fuck, I don't know what to do", his thoughts screamed, looking up at the ceiling as he looked back on his night with Katy. He did feel like a completely different person, and it shows on him physically.
"I love you Katy", he whispered in her ear, kissing her neck as his body rested on top of hers.
"I don't know why I would say that, why in the hell did I open that can of worms?", he rubbed his eyes from frustration, slamming his fists on the bed.
When Rei went into Tyson's room, he was already awake along with Hilary; who had just gotten out of the shower. He looked down at Hilary, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, noticing the black eye she had and the busted lip.
"What happened to you?", he asked, confused as he looked around the room to see Tyson's eyebrow raised. "You missed it, Hilary attacked Katy", he commented with some humor in his voice, Rei's eyes widening from surprise. "Are you serious? Why?", he asked her, Hilary sighed heavily, putting on her shoes.
"I'd rather not talk about it", she answered with disappointment in her voice, shaking her head at the memory of the fight. Her face was hurting, it was a fight she knew she would probably lose but she shouldn't have attacked her in the first place.
Rei did another scan of the room, noticing Katy may still be in her room; walking across the hall and knocking on her door.
Katy had just gotten out of the shower when she heard the knocking at the door, thankfully she was already dressed so she answered it right away thinking it was Kai. She was just about to start blurting out questions until she saw who it was, "Oh, hey. What's up?", she asked as she let him inside, grabbing her hair brush. Rei couldn't help but look her over, licking his lips as his eyes went over her body.
"Hey, umm I just wanted to say I'm sorry about yesterday. I also heard about what happened between you and Hilary, so I came to check on you", he said as he started to pace around the room, trying not to make the conversation awkward. "Well, I'm fine. Hilary just lost her damn mind but not something I couldn't handle, have you seen Kai?", she asked, brushing her hair as she sat on her bed, making sure to throw the covers back over the bed before sitting down. As if her question disturbed him, Rei twitched an eyebrow before sitting next to her, folding his hands together. "I think he's heading down to the stadium, can I talk to you about something?", he asked, facing her with softness in his eyes. Katy already figured it was about what happened between he and Kai, but the way he was looking at her, told her a different story.
"Umm, sure. What's up?", she asked as she continued brushing her hair, the loose ends splashing Rei in the face, but he didn't mind it, he could smell her shampoo and her body wash of coconut and shea butter, it made chills go up and down his spine. His body language told the world he was nervous, gripping the edge of the bed as he took in a breath, letting it out harshly before facing her. "I'm just going to come out and say it, I still have a lot of feelings for you Katy", his words didn't shock her at all, sighing heavily as she lazily looked at him.
"Rei, that ship has already sailed. You blew it when you went back to Mariah, you don't get second chances", she was about to stand up until he grabbed her arm, pulling her back down. His grip was tight, but not tight enough to scare her. "Please Katy, kiss me", he wanted to feel her lips on his, looking into her eyes as he kept ahold of her arm. Katy shook her head, putting her hand on his to get his hand off her. "Rei, no. You need to stop this", she said calmly, but her heart felt like it was going to drop into her stomach, tensing as his grip only tightened. "You didn't give me much of a chance for anything Katy, how is that even fair?", his tone was starting to become more confrontational; making her more nervous.
Katy was growing angry now, yanking her arm out of his grip. "Get out, now", she commanded, standing as she crossed her arms, showing no interest in continuing this conversation. Rei was about to approach her once more, until a knock at the door stopped him. Katy's eyes were pinned on Rei's, a dark glare illuminating from them as she opened the door to see Kai standing there.
Kai felt his blood come to a boil when his eyes laid on Rei, he could tell something happened just by the looks on their faces. "Oh there you are", Katy snapped as she left the door open, walking back into her room as Rei marched out, heading down to the stadium with the rest of the team.
"What's his problem?", Kai asked, approaching her as she sat on her bed and continuing brushing her hair. Katy didn't answer right away, rolling her eyes as a heavy sigh escaped her; "Nothing we haven't already talked about; though even on that part I'm confused", she snapped once more, this time glaring up at him from her spot on the bed. The confused look on his face made her continue; "You know, typically when a girl loses her virginity to someone and that someone is gone the next morning, what is that girl supposed to think?", her eyes buried themselves into his, throwing her brush in her bag.
Kai mentally cursed, running a hand over his face; "I'm sorry, I just needed to shower and my soap was in the other room. I didn't want to wake you up", his answer seemed legit enough, but something was still eating at her.
Katy wanted to believe him, but there was a knot in her stomach that made her think otherwise.
"Are you coming down?", he asked, receiving no answer from her. She only stared at the floor, throwing her brush back in her bag. "I'm not sure, I didn't go meet Boris last night to make the trade; who knows what kind of plans he's coming up with now. I don't know if its safer to stay in here or go down there with you", Kai had completely forgotten about that note, running his hand over his face. "I think you should come down with us, that way you're not by yourself and they can't harass you", Kai suggested as he started to head for the door.
After thinking about it, Katy agreed that going down to the stadium was best, she got dressed in some social clothes and followed Kai out.
During the battles between the Bladebreakers and Majestic 5, Katy sat between Max and Tyson, making sure to stay as far away from Hilary as possible. Digging in her pocket, she took out Black Dranzer and started looking over the bit beast, running her thumb over the face of it.
"What are you exactly? You're causing me a lot of trouble", she thought as her expression turned lost, the colors and the patterns of the bit beast were mesmerizing, it was like the beast was putting her into a trance. She could hear someone talking to her from a distance, the voice sounded familiar. "Who is that?", she thought before the voice suddenly got louder.
"Hey, earth to Katy!", Max nudged her, waving his hand in front of her face. Katy blinked a few times, rubbing her eyes with her index finger and thumb. "Are you ok?", he asked, keeping his hand on her shoulder. "Yeah, I'm fine", she answered before she put Black Dranzer away, looking up the beydish to see Kai walking away with yet another victory.
"That was awesome Kai! Now we can go to the 3rd round!", Tyson yelled excitedly, he loved New York.
The bey-battle seemed to go on forever, or maybe it was the feeling of being watched as she sat there with her team. She could feel eyes burning themselves into the side of her head, looking around constantly to see if she could spot whoever was staring her down. Her eyes finally landed on Boris in the high rises, glaring up at him as she gripped Black Dranzer in her hands.
"Tonight", she thought before her gaze went to Kai, who she caught following her gaze.
The next morning would be the day the bladebreakers leave for New York, the final round of the BBA World Championship. Tonight, was a night of celebration; the team had gathered into Tyson's room for a night of game play, all except Katy and Kai. There was still a lot of tension between Hilary and her cousin and she had unfinished business with Boris, so celebrating was the last thing on Katy's mind.
"No Katy, I can't let you go alone", Kai snapped as he paced back and forth; his blood boiling once more.
"If I don't, I won't get my Beyblade back! It's the last thing I have of my mother, I will not just let him take it!", she stood as she spoke louder, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "You of all people I would expect to understand", her voice was low in anger, but determination. Kai just started into her eyes, he could see all her emotions radiating from them; he knew she was serious and there was no talking her out of this.
Sighing heavily, more like a heavy huff; he looked away and rubbed his hands over his hands.
"Fine, but I go with you; and hide somewhere out of sight", she didn't like his proposal, shaking her head before he put his hand up; "That's my only condition; you know we can't chance anything and I know this team better than anyone else here", he said sternly, even she knew she couldn't change his mind.
"Fine, lets go then", she said as she started walking out the door, but Kai grabbed her arm and pulled her back. His hands cupped the side of her face, forcing her to look up at him.
"Promise me you won't do anything reckless", his voice was low and demanding; but she found comfort in it as she gently took ahold of his wrists. "As long as you promise me that you don't have regrets about last night", when she spoke those words, she made sure to pay close attention to his eyes; looking for any change in dilation or any flicker that would be lying if he told her he didn't.
Kai brought his eyebrows together, bringing his lips to hers in a passionate kiss.
"I could never regret last night", he said softly, his thumbs stroking the side of her face. It felt nice to hear that from him, nodding to his words with a smile. "Then I promise not to do anything reckless", she said before taking his hands off her face and going towards the door. The two managed to slip past Tyson's door without anyone noticing, heading down to the cafeteria.
At this time, the cafeteria was empty; every little noise would be heard in the big hollow room. It was approaching midnight when Kai and Katy got to the entrance of the cafeteria, stopping to look around the corner. As if he was expecting her, she saw Boris standing in the back of the kitchen; looking through the little food window above the bar.
"He's there", she whispered, taking in a nervous breath as she gripped the bit beast in her pocket. Kai's face hardened, taking her by her arm to get her attention. "I'll be right here, listening and waiting", he whispered before giving her one more kiss. With a nod, Katy walked around the corner confidently and into the kitchen; nearly vomiting at the sight of Boris's smirk when he laid his eyes on her.
"Well, well, well, look who it is. You're a day late my dear", Boris said as he walked towards her, Katy backed away as he neared her. "Give me my blade", she demanded coldly as she held up Black Dranzer. Boris smiled as he saw his bit beast, digging in his pocket for her Beyblade until he pulled it out. The sight of her mother's Beyblade in his hands was enough to drive her to murder, keeping her face hard and her body tensed; "Put it on the table, right here", she commanded him, pointing to a spot that was within a foot of her reach.
Boris almost laughed, putting the Beyblade in the requested spot. "Now, hand me Black Dranzer", he said as he held out his hand. Katy wasn't stupid, there was no way she would allow him to grab her if he wished. With one quick motion, she grabbed her Beyblade and tossed Black Dranzer to him, watching him struggle to catch it.
"Don't you ever come near me again", she scolded as she turned to walk away, she froze when she saw her entrance was blocked by Bryan. She wasn't as scared since she knew Kai was right around the corner, but it was still difficult to hide the fact that she was afraid.
"Or else what? I think you and Bryan have some unfinished business; and besides, this doesn't pay off your dad's debt to me", Boris's voice was like poison rushing through her veins; she slowly turned to glare at him. "My dad's debt has nothing to do with me", her voice was low in anger, her body starting to shake from the adrenaline. "Let me leave", she commanded, watching Boris smirk at her body language. "Not until my debt is paid", he said as he watched Bryan start to approach her, but he was stopped by someone grabbing his shirt and throwing him backwards; a fist connecting to his face in the process.
"I don't think so", Kai said as he grabbed Katy and put her behind him, pushing her to leave while Bryan was down. "Get out of here", he demanded, pushing her out the door. Katy complied and left; but remained around the corner in case he needed her. She wasn't going to leave Kai.
"Oh Kai, how nice of you to join us. Unfortunately, Katy still has some debt to pay with me. Her father has cost me a lot of money by stealing my bit beast, and I'm going to get it back one way or another", he said as he gazed upon his former blader.
"Not on my watch Boris, if you go near her again; I will destroy all of your beyblades and bit beasts. I can promise you that", Kai threatened as he turned to leave, walking past Bryan as he did so. Bryan didn't fight back because he already knew Boris's plan, saving his fight for when he gets Katy alone once more.
"Your time will come Bryan, remember our plan", Boris said as he left the kitchen, leaving Bryan with his thoughts. As he stood up, he wiped the blood from the side of his mouth; narrowing his eyes in the direction of Boris.
"Oh I guarantee it", he said quietly; clenching his fists.
