chapter 4. Pheonix vs. Dragon.

The battle had begun, and Tyson wasn't about to let himself lose, but neither was Triss. They expertly avoided each others attacks for a minute or two, before Tyson lost his cool and let out Dragoon.

"Dragoon, Victory Tornado Attack!" yelled Tyson. As the blue dragon came out of the beyblade, a tornado took its place around it. Dragoon roared and lunged itself at Illusion.

"Illusion, Oracle of illusions!" said Triss clamly. As she said that, a bunch of illusions of the BladeBreakers and BladeBruisers blades popped up around the white beyblade. They all attacked Dragoon, and within minutes it was over.

"Now you'll know not to underestimate the power of an illusion, will you?"said Triss as she walked over and picked up her blade from the ground. She nonchalantly wiped the dirt off of it and placed the blade back it its holder.

"It still wasn't as strong as the origional Dranzer,"muttered Hilary with pride as she looked at Triss's stats.

"I beg to differ Hilary. Actually it was stronger. Triss wasn't even fighting with a quarter of her real strength, were you?"Dizzi said. Triss shook her head.

"Be lucky I wasn't. I can bust a blade, and a bladers' spirit in a million pieces with my Nightmare Relive attack." called Triss as she walked out the gate. "Oh, and it seems to me that you owe a lot of money, don't you Tyson?" Tyson's face turned sour as he remembered the bet.

"Ah fuck."

Alkanet looked as if she was pondering something."Hey guys, who's turn is it to pick up the movie?" she turned to Kai. "If its ok with you guys of course, one of us gets to pic out the movie of her choosing, and the others have to suffer and watch it."

Ray and Max looked at each other."Of course!" they said in unision.

'Great...' thought Kai.

Kai's pov

'Perfect, another girl who probably get a sappy movie, and make us sit through the whole thing.'

Dranzers voice entered my thoughts. 'I was speaking to Illusion, and she said that Alkanet is the one who gets the sappy movie, Erin and Jimie and Matti go for action.Triss , however, always gets the most gorey, violent, scaryiest movie she can find." Dranzer grimanced at the thought.

'Really? my kind of girl!' I accidently thought

'SO. My suspicions were true!' came an unfamiliar voice. ' I knew you liked my Mistress!'

'Oh crap.Illusion is that you?' asked Dranzer.

'Yes. The illustrious phoenix that is me has decided to grace you boys with her overwhelming presence.'

'You're a bit full of yourself... ' I stated, shaking my head. 'Wait. How are you talking to me? You're not my bitbeast!'

I heard a ruslting of feathers and knew that the pheonix-es were a bit annoyed.

'Kai, you should know this by now. You and Triss have a sort of ...connection.' said Dranzer.

I was a bit confused. 'Connection? I barely know the girl! How is that possible?'

Illusion sighed. ' It's complex. For some reason, Triss and I can speak to you telopathically.'

' So, Triss can do this too, huh?' I said. ' Is there anything else I should know about?'

'Yeah. I Just pwned you.'

I heard a rush of feathers, and the pheonix-es were gone. Then, I felt something hard hit me in the back of my head. "Dammit Triss!" I said aloud. "What was that for?"

'You shouldn't think that hard about me. I don't like sneezing.' She stared at me for a moment, and then turned on her heel and walked out of the yard.

"That fucking bitch!" I swore under my breath, and felt the back of my head. I was going to have a lump there tomorrow...

End Kai's POV

The girls, minus Triss, were arguing about what kind of movie they should get, and the boys, minus Kai, were arguing with them.

Triss finally came back through the gates."Will all of you shut up? If it'll keep you guys quiet, I will go get the fucking movie, oh my goddess!" The Russian girl glared at the group of teens, making each of them shift uncomfortably under her stare.

Erin and Jimmi looked at each other."Ok," they said quickly. The rest of the group agreed rather fast, and they all turned to Matti. She was collecting the money, and shelling it out.

"Never bet against the girls, boys. Never bet against the girls..." Triss heard her saying. She then left the Granger residence in a hurry.

Triss's mind.

"What is the matter mistress?" came Illusion's voice.

"He's following me isn't he?"

'Who mistress?' questioned the bird.

'Kai. Who else. He is following, isn't he?' Triss said to her bitbeast.

' Yes Triss, he is. Do you want mt to tell him to leave?' There was silence for a moment before Triss said-

' No. We'll let him follow. It'll make my job easier...'

Triss turned a corner and ran. Her suspicion was correct, Kai was indeed following. He left shortly after she had.

When Kai turned the corner, Triss was no where to be found. He started running again until he came to a clearing near the river. He sat down against a tree to catch his breath, when he heard the sound of running water. As he got closer to it, he saw that Triss was sitting by said river, staring darkly at it. Kai walked over and stood next to her.

Triss turned her head and looked at him and saw he was staring at her. She quietly smiled to herself, and slowly rose to meet his gaze. "So, I assume you didn't follow me just to stare at me, did you?"

Kai looked at the Russian girl."Well, at least one of you girls is smart." Triss glared at him. "No, I wanted to see where you ran off to in such a hurry." He began to circle her like a shark. Triss watched him closely as he got closer, and closer, until he was right behind her.

"So," he whispered in her ear." Aren't you going to tell me where you're going?" Before Kai knew what he was doing, he had rested his head on her shoulder, his lips barely touching her neck. Kai wrapped his arms around Triss's slim waist and wondered what the Russian beauty might do to him.

"Well, for your information, I wasn't coming here," Triss stated, subconciously leaning into Kai's body. She was actually enjoying the feeling of being so close to Kai, but she soon pulled away. "I was going to my grandmothers, and I knew this had something to do with you and your grandfather. I also knew that you were going to follow me and I was going to tell you when you caught up to me."

'I didn't know you were going to have such an effect on me though...' she thought. Breathing a bit hard for her liking, Triss slowly regained posure.

Kai cocked an eyebrow."What a load of shit." He looked her over quickly, taking in that he had managed to 'unruffle' her quite a bit. Her flanel shirt was falling of her shoulders -so was her tank top- and Kai noticed that Triss was breathing hard.

"Humph, if you don't beleive me, then come with me!" Triss demanded. She slowly ran her tounge over her pink lips, to see if Kai would react. He did. Triss noticed that Kai wasn't looking at her eyes, rather her mouth.

"Fine then, I will," Kai said still not looking away from Triss's mouth. It was killing him, the feeling of longing to find out how soft her lips were, but some how, he resisted the urge.

The two left the clearing, though they knew that they both would be there quite often in the future.

Triss's grandmothers house.

Kai and Triss walked up to the mansion that belonged to Triss's grandmother, Madame Asakura Hikashi. The two teenagers walked inside, to find Madame Asakura sitting with Kai's grandfather, Voltaire Hiwatari.

"Ahh, look who it is. Vannan and Kai," came Asakura's mocking voice."Come sit down my dear granddaughter. We have something to tell you and young Kai."

Kai and Triss walked over to a couch, instead of sitting on it, leaned on the back of it. There was something in Asakura's voice that Triss just did not trust.

"Well, what do you two want with us?" asked Kai to his grandfather. Voltaire laughed and looked over at Triss.

"You seem very egar to find out, and I was planning on calling you over anyway, so I might as well tell you now." he started. He pause to take a sip of the wine from the glass he was holding.

"Get on with it,"muttered a very impatient Triss. "I'd like to leave before I start going grey..."

"With an attitude like that, you'll never get any where. Yet we should tell you, rather than drawing this meeting out more than nessecary."said Asakura, glaring at her granddaugher. "Vannan, Master Voltaire and I have decided it in your best intrest that, you and Kai are now bethroughed to oneanother."

"What the hell?" yelled Kai and Triss. They looked at each other and backed away from one another.

"You mean to tell me i've gotta marry that?" screamed Kai pointing at Triss. In his mind, however, he was screaming 'YES!'

"This has to be the one of the lowest things you have ever done, and I give kudos for that, but you are such a bitch!" yelled Triss. She outwardly shuddered at the thought of being married to Kai, but the was really glad she was. Knowing her grandmother, she could've done WAY worse than Kai.

The elders looked at each other. "The document is binding. You will be married after the tournement." said Voltaire. He grinned at the looks on Triss and Kai's faces.

"Yes, and you have no way to get out, unless one of you would like to die." remarked Asakura with a smirk.

"Gladly." replied Triss to the last comment. She pulled out a switch blade from her bag, (yes the one strap one, sorry I forgot to mention it, but Triss takes it with her where ever she goes.)She held it to her wrist ready to slash, but a hand held hers back. She looked down and saw Kai's hand over hers. She looked at him, and noticed the warning look in his eyes.

"You son of a bitch and bastard." yelled Kai."Why the hell would you do this?"

"Because both of you made us look like fools when you escaped the Abbey." replied Asakura.

Triss looked stunned."So this was all about me and Kai breaking out of that frozen sess-pit you call and Abbey?"

"We hold a grudge."

"Screw you." and and the two fiances left the house asap.
