Last time on A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present ...
After the long ride to the airport, we checked in and sat in the waiting areas
"Attention everyone flight A4038 to Canada will be leaving soon" the announcer said.
I got up with the rest of my team and kept some distance from them ' pft, I'm not going to fully trust them yet'
As I was heading for the front a voice spoke...
"Well , well, well...long time no see eh?"
I turned around to see...
-----
A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present
Chapter 8 - Old friends and someone from the past
Amber P.O.V
I turned around to see a large group of people who were boarding the plane so I couldn't distinguish the person who spoke... was that person even talking to me? I turned back to the front only to spot the Demolition Boys. A smile then replaced my bewildered face.
"Keh, don't think trying to get on my good side will make me go easier on you throughout the tournament" I said with a smirk
"I thought we were already on your good side, so you don't have to worry about going easier on us, cause we wouldn't even think of going easy on you" a familiar red head said
" Aww, it's nice to see you still care Tala" I said sarcastically, "hmm...I wonder what happened to those simple hello's to someone whom you haven't seen in a long time" I said with my eyes closed as a smirk was planted on my face.
Two arms were then placed around my shoulders, I looked up to see Spencer to my right and Ian on my left. Surprisingly Ian grew a lot and...was taller then me...
"Wow, I thought the shrimp would never grow" I said with laughter in my voice
His reaction was what I expected, " Who the hell are you calling a shrimp" he exclaimed
"Who else" I said while shrugging of their shoulders and giving a nod towards Tala and Bryan, who wasn't keen on showing his affections, and left towards the Bladebreakers who were looking at me , confusion written on their faces...
I walked past my team and stopped to say that they were long time friends, before I headed to the plane.
Kai's P.O.V
...She's hiding something... I still remember the expression on her face when I entered the washroom... her expression showed betrayal, hurt, sadness, frustration, frightened, and confusion...that one expression showed so much emotion... she wouldn't exactly have that kind of emotion in her eyes, just because she had broke the vase.
Ever since she has been on our team I've felt that I know her from somewhere, but I just can't remember...
I have also tried to figure her out...when she is by herself...she is always in a state of thought...a thought that seems to haunt her... when she is with us, she seems hesitant...like she doesn't know if she could trust us...and other times she feels comfortable...like she does trust us...when she battled us during training...it seemed like she is a completely different person...I have to admit that I was a bit worried and scared at the power she held...during the battle I saw something very different about her...I saw darkness...it worried me because we didn't see her like this when we first battled...what could have happened...
When she saw the Demolition Boys I saw happiness and...fear...does she fear them...
I was confused and somewhat curious to know how she knew them, she said they were old friends...If they where old friends then why would she fear them?
I boarded the plane, the only team we saw so far that we recognize were the Demolition Boys, I guess they were the only team in Japan other then us...
I placed my bags on the luggage compartment and sat down on the window seat. I closed my eyes only to hear a comment of the girl who I was still quite confused about...
Normal P.O.V.
"So, I guess I have to sit beside you" Amber said with a frustrated tone.
"Humph" Kai replied with his eyes closed
"This is going to be a long ride" Amber mumbled
After all the passengers were seated and all the luggage was placed properly and checked in the overhead compartment a voice over the intercom began its speech.
"Good morning passengers, the staff from Japan Airlines welcome's you, and wishes you a good flight to Canada... The emergency exits are... she drowned in fake happiness
"It's nice to see that the staff are happy people" Amber mumbled sarcastically, receiving a smirk from Kai who still had his eyes closed.
Amber turned around to look for familiar faces, she saw that Rei and Max were behind her with there eyes closed trying to catch some sleep before they got to Canada. Tyson and Kenny were in front of her, Kenny was typing furiously on his laptop. He was clearly annoyed at the snores that were being emitted from Tyson.
She continued to look around and saw that the Demolition Boys sat in the middle aisle and were also sleeping.
She looked over to the seats beside the middle aisle and farthest from her seat and saw a girl with shoulder length blonde hair that had brown highlights, beside her was a girl that had waist length burgundy colored hair.
Behind them she saw two boys but as she was about to examine them she saw that one of the boys turned towards her she saw those same aqua colored eyes and turned around immediately.
Amber's P.O.V
Holy shit...he's here... Oh my God...Okay Amber get a hold of yourself and just ignore him...he's a traitor, a low-life scum bag... the reason your family...
"Excuse me would you like something to drink" the flight attendant asked
"No thank you" I replied and decided not to think about what just happened, until we got to the hotel.
? P.O.V
Humph, she can't run away forever...she can run but she can't hide, not even her annyoing team can help her. She will join us...
10.5 Hours later (A/N: I don't really know how long it takes to get to Canada to Japan so ya...)
Normal P.O.V
"Hello everyone we will be landing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 5 minutes we hope you have enjoyed your flight"
5 Minutes Later
The plane landed and the people aboard got their luggage and began to depart.
-----
At Pearson Airport
Luggage pick-up
Bladebreakers are currently waiting for luggage-
-----
Amber P.O.V
I looked around and noticed that only a couple of people were left...it seems that its taking them a while to get our luggage...I was beginning to feel pissed.
"why the hell aren't our bags here" I yelled
I noticed and angry mother covering her child's ears "Humph" she said in a very snobby way
"It's a free country lady" I drowned before she could respond and blab about my rudeness I spotted our luggage.
I pushed Tyson out of the way and got my bag and started to walk away...
"Hey!" I heard Tyson yell, I turned around and saw that they were getting there luggage as well...
Oh ya...I almost forgot about them...I'm usually used to traveling by myself.
They were heading towards me with tired and frustrated expressions
When I turned around I bumped into someone, I fell on the floor and my luggage slid away from me.
Why am I falling so much...sigh... I looked up to see aqua eyes looking down on me...dammit...I stared at him horrified to see that he was in front of me... I looked to the side and saw my bag, I got up to get my luggage, trying to ignore him, and looked back to see that he was gone.
The Bladebreaker's came behind me and asked if I was alright, except Kai, I rolled my eyes at the thought of Kai actually caring.
The car, well the limo ride to the hotel was quiet...10 and a half hours of flight can sure take a lot out of someone...
I sat thinking about him...I wonder what he's doing here, I'm so stupid, of course he's here for the tournament...
"AMBER" I looked over to see Kai yelling at me to get my attention, "hmm"
"We're here" He replied..."Oh". I got out of the car still bewildered at the predicament that I was in. I was greeted by one of the worker's. I looked up and saw the sign 'Royal York'.
hmm uncle had got some taste, I giggled unintentionally only to receive strange looks, I sighed and rolled my eyes walking in the hotel towards the front desk.
After the team confirmation, and the cards for the rooms, I got into the elevator with the team and headed towards my room ignoring the beauty of the hotel since I was to preoccupied with my thoughts.
Flashback
(A/N: I'm not the best at writing in Portuguese so , lets just say they are speaking in Portuguese, the neighborhood that is mentioned is the same one as before, the name of the place is amarante - am-are-aunt)
A little boy with dark brown hair and aqua eyes, was at his door step crying and a little girl was running toward him, and tried to comfort him.
"what's wrong" the little girl with black hair and red highlights asked
"They made a fool of me Amber" the boy replied quietly
"What happened" Amber asked
"I was beyblading Rodrigo...he ruined my blade and humiliated me infront of everyone" he replied in both a humiliated and fustrated tone.
"You and I both know Rodrigo is a bully, you shouldn't have associated with him anyway...you can always get a new blade" Amber replied
"You don't get it" the boy yelled
"Just put your pride aside...you aren't the first one to feel his wrath so you don't have to act like a baby" She said rasing her voice
"...I'm sorry" he said
"It's alright, come on stop crying its almost dinner time" she said while getting up
End of flashback

Flashback -
2 weeks after the encounter of the strange man (a/n: chapter 6, the man that the kids
were talking about)
10 minutes after Amber entered the house looking for her parents (a/n: its in the earlier chapters, when she comes home to see her parents...end of flashback)
"Why did you do this" Amber yelled with tears in her eyes
She looked to those aqua eyes, trying to find the answer
"My pride was messed with, did you actually think I'd let it be HA!... I wanted power and now...now I have it, don't try and stop me Amber...why not join me..." the boy said with an evil glint in his eyes
"Never...I WILL NEVER JOIN YOU" she said yelling the last part out
"humph, suit yourself"the boy said before turning around
As he left several men came out of the shadows
"Mark!" Amber yelled trying to get the attention of the traitor
The men came nearer blocking anyway of escaping
"There's nowhere to run little girl" said one of the men
"Mark!" She yelled once again
Amber was surrounded and was being beaten "MARK!" she yelled in anguish as she tried not to fall unconsious. The last thing she remembered before she became unconsious was two men tieing her hands and legs...
End of flashback
-----
Amber's P.O.V.
"AMBER" I heard someone yell
"WHAT" I yelled back, fustrated at myself for remembering those thoughts
"What is wrong with you, we're here, tried to stay focus" Kai said in an angry tone
"whatever" I replied walking out of the elevator ignoring everyone and everything
I looked on my card to find the room number...15
I walked toward my room but not before grabbing my bags and giving the guy a tip.
I opened the door, threw my bag on the floor, got the keys for my luggage and tried to open it.
I was interupted by someone...that someone got into my room..."what are you doing here Kai" I practically yelled as I continued my attempts at opening the damn suitcase. I looked at him and noticed that he seemed a bit hesitant...hmm thats a first..."Well, spit it out" I said coldly only to recieve a glare.
I suddenly stopped my unsuccessful attempts at opening my suitcase. I looked around the room and saw one bed.I looked up at him and saw him looking away. I looked back to the bed. Then to door. Then at the card he held in his hand.
Me.Kai.Same room.one bed.
"AHH for fuck sakes" I yelled
