Thanks to the only person who commented on that last chapter, I love you!

...Chapter 14- Nice to know you...

It had been over a month since the BladeBreakers left Miami. Almost everone had gotten together, and almost everyone was happy. Excpet two annoyed people-

"Kai you ass, your balance is WAY off! And Dranzer's defense is completely slipping!"

"Woman if you don't shut the hell up I'm gonna murder you!"

"I'd LOVE to see you try baka!"

Yeah. Triss and Kai had been at it since they got back to Bakuten. Niether of them were letting up, and Matti and the girls gave it there all to keep Triss from leaving the dojo, them, and the team all together. Even getting Triss to talk to Amaya and Macha wasn't helping!

So finally, Triss just started to ignore Kai all together. Things were a lot quieter. Especially since Triss felt that the best way to ignore her boyfriend was to move into her grandmother's house... who wasn't there.

...
After the preliminaries of the World Championship Tournement, back at Tyson's place

"Kai, you have to go talk to her! We have a tournement in six months!" yelled Chief. He had finally gotten Dizzi out of the laptop and back into her blade, which was a relief to everyone, because they no longer had to listen to her snide comments... not that Triss' were any better.

"Humph," Kai turned tail and marched out of the dojo, his scarf waving a happy goodbye behind him.

The bunch looked at each other and Tyson yelled- "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THEIR PROBLEM?????" he fell to the floor with a audible thump and began whining about how this fight was completely fucking up their chances to win the tournement.

"Even though I hate to admit this, Ty is right," said Ray. "Triss and Kai need to get back on speaking terms,even if they're back on a last name basis."

"Yeah. Triss threatened to leave the team, and when she makes up her mind, there is no stopping her. Trust us." said Jimmie. The girls all nodded in unision.

Max raised a blonde eyebrow." I don't think Kai would go that far, but I wouldn't put it past him."

"Yeah" agreed Ray.

Suddenly the door slid open,and standing there was Triss. She was no longer wearing her hoodie, considering it had gotten too hot for it. (It's the beginning of June.)

"Well? Come on. We got practice to attend to." She said before going back out side. She stopped when she noticed Alkanets suprised face from the corner of her eye. "What is it Kasai-hime?"

Alkanet smiled at Trisss use of her old nickname."Er, Mr. D just sent me the list of the teams that made it through to the finals in Moscow."

Triss turned on her heel and grabbed the white- haired girls laptop. Her purple eyes grew red as she looked down the list. Matti saw this and questioned her friends feelings.

"Whats wrong chick?"

"Nothing... Alka I need two copies of this right now."

"Right." Alkanet got up from her spot on the floor and motioned for Matti, Jimmie, and Erin to come over to her. Their faces fell as they read the list

...
After Triss gained her copy of the teams she ran out of the house to find Kai.

'Dammit, where are you?! Answer me.' she screamed into Kai's thoughts.

'God, theres no need to yell babe.' came Kai's prolonged response.

'Well then. I need to show this to you. And I cant until you get here. Now GET HERE.'

'Argh. Fine. If you'll stop yelling at me.'

' FINE. Whatever.And if you call me 'babe' again, I'll make sure you NEVER have kids.'

"God, I'm gonna kill hi- GOD KAI where the hell were you? Stalking me like you used to?" Triss yelled as said boy grabbed her around the waist and began to walk both of them forward.

"No I wasn't. Now what was so urgent that you needed to wake me?" Kai asked shaking his slate grey hair from his eyes.

Triss looked at him weird. "Were you taking a nap?" Kai blushed and shook his head impatiently, motioning for her to get on with it. Triss handed him the paper with the teams on it.

As Kai read the paper, his eyed grew wide as he realized the teams they were up against."Are some of these the-"

"Teams that we each were on after we split up and got back together." Matti explained to Tyson. She slid onto the floor beside him and muttered how they were screwed.

"These guys are that strong huh?"asked Max.

"Oh my god. We are screwed," said Cheif as he checked the stats of each team. " Look at this! There stats are off the charts!"

Ray turned to Jimmie with a look of confusion. "So exactly what teams were you guys on??"

"Sigh. Me, Erin, and Alkanet were on the Black Roses. Matti was on the Yellow Jackets, and Triss was on the Mercury Assains, formerly known as the Blood Covenent." she responded.

"Whoa. So how are we gonna beat them?" asked Tyson, who had actually listened for a change. He scratched his head and tried to think of something. thump. He lost his concentration and fell to the wooden floor. Hilary rushed over to help him up.

"Okay... Well actually... I have no clue. I think we should wait for Triss and Kai to think of something." responded Alkanet.

"Seeing as we have no info on her old team, its best to wait for them."

As if on cue, Triss and Kai walked into the dojo deep in conversation. Triss looked up and told Kai that they'd finish their conversation later. Then she turned around and started yelling at the team about not training hard enough and how they were all lazy bums with no life. She was partially right...

Triss walked outside and jumped into 'her' tree. She blocked her mind and turned on her black cd player. She blasted Enjoy the Silence by Lacuna Coil as she engaged Illusion in a private conversation, and watched her Matti and Alkanet go head-to-head with Tyson and Maxie.

"Illusion, I think Im going to leave...' Triss thought to the snow white pheonix.'I got an email last night from Macha and Amaya. Theyve gotten some new members for the Mercury Assasains."

'That might not be a good idea... I mean... well... okay maybe not, but still you shouldnt abandon Kai like this.' Illusion cooed softly.

"Maybe your right... but I'm going through with it. And if you tell anyone, I'll get a new bitbeast!"

Illusion ruffled her feathers and frowned at the thought of her mistress with another bitbeast. "Fine I won't tell."

"Good. Were leaving in a few days..."

Triss watched Kai as he smirked at his teamamates failed attempts to stop the girls. Eventually he looked up to his girlfriend, but noticed that she was no longer keeping a close eye on the 'gang', or him. Instead she was softly bobbing her head to her music, obviously considering something, but try as he might, he could not penetrate the Russian girl's mind. Eventually he gave up and returned to watching the battles taking place in the dirt before him.

...
(Time skip to a few days later...)

The russian girl finally awoke from her light slumber, noticing how dark it was, and that everyone was inside, sleeping. She sighed as she looked at her watch. It was almost 12:45. She lept from her place in her tree and walked inside, desperately begging Illusion to stop her nagging. She began to gather her things as quietly as she could, but she found herself mezmerized by a picture that Erin had taken of herself and Kai one day. Triss loved him dearly, but realized that if she wanted to get stronger, she would have to leave him.

She had finally gathered all of her things and gotten all of her teammates stats from Alkanet's laptop. Triss then ambled silently to each of her friends leaving a specially prepared note to each of them beside their pillows. Lastly she went to Kai. Finding him at such peace was rare these days. Getting out her digi-camera, she snapped a quick photo of him. Triss then lay a letter next to Dranzers blade, and bid the pheonix goodbye. he knew better than to wake up his master, but instead managed to make one of his crimson feathers appear in Trisss hair. The girl smiled and touched the offering of peace, knowing that the bird would be keeping a silent eye on her.

'I can't beleive I'm doing this... that were doing this...' Triss thought to Illusion. The bitbeast nodded in agreement.

Triss did everything she could to stop her tears from flowing as she kissed her beloved lightly on his light pink lips. She left the dojo finally and headed to the air port thinking, 'Nice to know you guys... See you in Russia...'
