Last time on A Dark Past, a Hopeful present...
I was interrupted 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 that's a first..."Well, spit it out" I said coldly only to receive 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

A Dark Past, a Hopeful Present
Chapter 9 – Day 1 at Paradeisos: surprise trips
Kai's P.O.V
I lay awake trying to stay as far as I could from her. I'm not really used to being so close to a girl. Especially close to a girl who is as moody as her.
In the beginning, it seemed that she was willing to trust us, she was kinder. Then after that incident in the bathroom, she has distanced herself.
It seems that she has closed herself off...what the hell is wrong with her! It frustrates me...why should it frustrate me; she's just a simple annoying girl...although...I still feel like I know her...
With this last thought I closed my eyes.
Amber's P.O.V
He's awake...doesn't he ever go to sleep...is he nocturnal or something. I'm still kind of shocked to see that he is here, I shivered just thinking about those eyes, those eyes that once held compassion.. But now held greed and...evil.
I pulled the covers closer to me and closed my eyes trying to get some rest, but it was no use.
I continued thinking about him, all those fun times we had together, that thought quickly went away and was replaced with sudden flashes of my parent's dead bodies on the ground...
...sigh... I can't think about that...
I moved around trying to get into a more comfortable position and closed my eyes, trying to rid my mind of the horrid images.
Amber's P.O.V
Kai and Amber's Hotel room- 4:00 am
I woke up and glanced to my right and saw Kai. I was about to yell at him when I suddenly remember yesterday's events. I glanced at the clock and saw that it 4:00 am
...sigh... I was hoping to get a bit more sleep... I sat up trying not to shuffle the covers to much so Kai wouldn't wake up. I looked around the room trying to adjust to the darkness.
I got up and walked around observing the luxurious hotel room. There was a living room that consisted of two medium sized couches and a TV. There was a dining room and in the corner there was a small fridge, and microwave. I walked into the bathroom and noted how big it was, there was a large bathtub, an individual shower with a patterned glass door, a toilet and sink. I walked into a room and realized that it was a closet. 'Damn, this closet is huge'
I got out and tried to find my suitcase, a couple of seconds later I saw it tossed close to my side of the bed.
' I shouldn't have let that traitor get to me I can imagine how stupid I was...sigh...I just don't know what he's capable of doing, that's what frustrates me the most!'
I opened my suitcase and tried to pick out some clothing, but that was a bit difficult since I couldn't see. I walked away with some clothes in my hand and walked toward the washroom; I shut the door and looked at the four switches
' isn't one switch enough' I thought
The first one turned on the lights that were above the mirror I instantly turned it off because of the brightness.
I tried the second one and saw that light was coming from the shower, ' bingo', curiosity got the best of me and tried the other two, one turned on the fan and the other turned on lamps that emitted a little bit of light, and were on the wall close to the bathtub. 'Did they add this for some sort of romantic feeling' I thought as I rolled my eyes.
I then looked at the pile of clothes in my hands; there were a pair of jeans, a red shirt that was a bit bigger then my other shirts, my undergarments and an extra shirt.' I guess I brought extra' I thought referring to the extra shirt.
I took a towel and hung it on the rack that was located outside of the shower. As I turned on the shower I thought of the tournament and what it would be like with my team...
Half an hour later-4:45am
I got out of the shower, dried myself, and put on my clothes, with one last inspection in the mirror I got out the washroom and quietly headed to the nightstand to get my beyblade.
I then headed out the door I looked around the halls were painted in a beige sort of colour, lights and plants hung from the wall. I entered the elevator and pressed the button that displayed the letter 'L' (lobby).
When I exited the elevator I stopped and took notice of the beautiful lobby. It had a nice coloured carpet; it looked like a miniature forest. I continued walking I saw a waterfall and stairs leading to the head desk, I also noticed a bridge that lead to a sitting area. I looked to the other side and saw another path that I guess lead to the dinning area.
I walked out of the 'forest', past the desk and headed out the door to find a place where I could train. When I got outside I looked around to admire the beautiful hotel. The entrance had a very large driveway, and to the right there was another waterfall, but this one was larger. The lawn was nicely decorated with exotic plants and there were several paths of large stone-like tiles that were on either side of the driveway. At the end of the driveways there was a large gate that had the initial of PH in neat cursive on it.
I left the hotel and decided to find a park; it wasn't that hard since I still remember where some of the places were located.
When I got to the park I noticed that it was empty,' at least I can concentrate better…'. I looked at my watch 5:15, 'already?' I launched my blade and started the training schedule that I made for myself.
Normal P.O.V
Rays of sunlight entered the room, illuminating certain areas of the room. A blue haired figure that was sleeping began to move to the other side of the bed where his team mate was supposed to be. He involuntarily shivered when he came in contact with the cold bed sheets from his team mate's side. He began opening his eyes slowly trying to adjust to rays of light that were peaking from the curtains.
Kai's P.O.V
I looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:30... I was expecting to wake up earlier... I got up and went to my suitcase to get some clothes, when I was suddenly interrupted by a loud ring. I looked around trying to figure out what was making such a racket; I walked in the direction of the noise and saw a phone on a table close to the door.
"Hello" I said coldly, not really in the mood to answer the phone.
"Um...Good Morning, I'm Claire a staff member from the Paradeisos Hotel, I'm assuming that this is one of the members from The Bladebreakers?" The woman said.
"Yes" I replied not even caring about giving this woman a friendly greeting.
"Yes, well...I was told by Mr. Dickenson to inform all the teams competing in the tournament to go to a meeting that will be held on the 25th floor suite number 2500 at 8:00am" She said
"Okay" I said indifferently
"Have a nice day sir and enjoy your stay at the Paradeisos Hotel" She said with a cheerful tone.
"Bye" I said, as I hung up the phone.
I looked at the time once more and continued getting my clothes and headed to the washroom to take a shower.
6:55am-(still Kai's P.O.V)
I got out of the washroom and entered the living room only to stop momentarily when I saw Amber sitting on the floor examining her beyblade.
"Morning" she mumbled
"Morning" I replied. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:55 "We have a meeting with Mr. Dickenson at 8:00 o' clock" I said as I got my blade from the night table.
"Ok" she replied her full concentration on her beyblade.
I looked at her waiting for her to get up so we could wake the others and head straight to the suite, with Tyson's morning habits I'd expect that we would have to miss breakfast just to get him up on time.
I stood waiting for her but it seemed like she didn't notice, "I won't wait for you DeCosta, so if you want to attend the meeting I suggest that you don't waste my time" I said irritation evident in my voice.
She got up slowly and put her blade in her pocket. "You didn't mention that you wanted to go now…you better watch the way you talk Hiwatari" she said bitterly walking past me while hitting my shoulder with hers. I followed her and tried to control my temper.
Normal P.O.V
The two teens continued walking throughout the silenced filled corridors. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Amber quickened her pace trying to stay as far away from him as possible.
Amber P.O.V
'Just because I sleep in the same bed as him, doesn't mean I want to be next to him 24/7' I fumed silently.
When we got to our team mates room I looked at Kai "I'll take Tyson and Max's room" I bit out.
I knocked on Tyson and Max's door loudly
"Whatever" I heard him reply. Kai knocked on Rei and Kenny's door a couple of seconds later a tired looking Rei answered the door.
"Morning" he said, Kai stepped in the room.
Rei looked at me with sympathy before he walked back in the room.
'No need to give me that look Rei, they will be answering the door soon' I thought confidently.
5 Minutes Later
"TYSON! MAX! OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR BEFORE I BUST IT DOWN!" I yelled in frustration
Rei and Kenny's room
Normal P.O.V
A fully dressed Rei stepped out of the washroom headed to the living room and sat down with Kai and Kenny.
"You think we should help her" Kenny said
"Humph, just leave her" Kai said with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
Rei winced at the curses that were being yelled, ' I'm surprised she hasn't woken up the whole hotel' Rei thought.
CRASH!
The three team mates that were seated stoop up in alarm.
"What the hell" Kai said as he strode out the door followed by Kenny and Rei.
As soon as he got in the hallways he stopped in his tracks leading Kenny to bumps into him.
They walked into the room next door which currently had its door on the floor.
All three of them were shocked. They then heard a voice yell,
"Get you asses up now, I'm here knocking on the door and you guys are sleeping...with the stupid radio on"
The three members who entered stayed rooted on the spot still at a loss for words, Kai with a blank expression, Rei with a shocked expression, and Kenny with a scared expression.
They were awakened from there state of shock when they saw Tyson and Max running towards their closet, to get some clothes to change into.
The angry female of their group marched out of the room not noticing the three extra people.
She picked up the phone and dialled room service with a fake smile plastered on her face.
"Room service" The cheerful voice said on the other line.
"Hi" she said with fake happiness, "Um... I'm sorry to say that there has been an accident" she said.
"Oh?" The voice said
"Well, I was walking down the corridor heading to my team mate's room, I thought I heard screams so I tried knocking on the door but know one answered...I was getting really worried so I broke the door down. I found my friend having a nervous breakdown, and I was there to calm him down, if I didn't come in then I don't know what would have happened" she said with fake sadness
"Oh, the poor thing" the sincere voice said
"I know, I'm sorry about the door, you can put it on my account" Amber replied
"Don't worry about it, I'm glad your friend is alright, should I call the ambulance" the voice said with concern.
"Oh no it's alright, thank you very much, this hotel is beautiful, I'll tell my family about it, bye" Amber said and hung up the phone.
By the time she was done, Tyson and Max were dressed and staring at her along with the others.
"It was just a little lie" She said
Kai looked at his watch it read 7:30, "We should get going" Kai said.
"What about our stuff, someone can steal it" Tyson shouted
"Your problem, you should have answered the door, plus since I told them they will get it fixed" Amber said coldly
"You can put your stuff in our room Tyson" Rei said with a smile, still a bit shocked that the female member of his team broke down a door and managed to get away with it without paying.
"Thanks Rei" Max said
"Just hurry up, we don' have much time" Kai said.
25 Minutes Later
The group was in the elevator heading to the 25th floor. When they got there they were greeted with the site of business rooms, they walked down the corridor and looked for suite 2500.
When they reached the suite they say a lady sitting at her desk filing her nails, she had black hair till her shoulders and wore large spectacles, behind her desk stood two large wooden doors.
"Good Morning, I assume you are the Bladebreakers, please step in they are waiting for you" she said with a smile.
The Bladebreaker's entered the room. There was a large table with chairs surrounding it. At the head of the table sat Mr. Dickenson, to his right sat the White tigers, All Stars and Demolition Boys.
To his left were the Majestics, an unknown team and 6 unoccupied seats. The Bladebreakers took their seats, and the meeting then commenced.
"Good Morning everyone" Mr. Dickenson said with a smile. "I have called you all here to say that there have been some problems" he said,
"The tournament has been postponed, but-" he silenced the teams who began to talk
"...but we all decided that a sort of vacation would be beneficial,
You all will be going on a trip...
To be more specific,
A camping trip..."
To Be Continued
Hey! Sorry for the really late update, I tried thinking about how I was to write the chapter, it didn't really turn out the way I expected...
This chapter wasn't too eventful, but it will be later on, I guarantee it, and about the trip. The trip does have a purpose it's not just something I put because I had no more ideas...
It will be explained later on, the plot will kind of unfold, secrets will be discovered, bonds will be made, and more...
I will start putting the authors note at the end...
Thanks to those who reviewed! It's greatly appreciated!
The next chapter will hopefully be put out sooner since my schedule kind of settled down .
And sorry for the spelling mistakes...
So...Please Review:D
No flames please, but constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
