Disclaimer: I only own the plot and Kym. I do not own beyblade or Buffy, and I count new slayers into Buffy. Besides, there are FAR too many for me to claim. Therefore I add them into the 'I don't own Buffy' part. Bye-bye.

Chapter 10 – Why Are You Crying?

Kym, Kennedy and Vi lead them along a series of corridors again, nodding to people as they passed them. Some looked suspiciously at Mariah, but others smiled. A few gave her thumbs-ups, and tried to hug her. Vi prised them off, and they kept walking.

They finally reached a corridor, much more casual than the others. Kym opened two doors next to one another, while Kennedy opened another two on the opposite walls to the first two.

In each room were three bunk-beds, a wardrobe, and another door off it, presumably leading to a bathroom. Ray went in, and tried the door. They were right.

It was a faded blue colour, with two white cabinets underneath two porcelain sinks, also white. The sinks and cabinets were opposite the doorway. Above the sinks was a large window, covered with wooden blinds. Toothbrushes and so on were placed on the windowsill, above the sinks.

On the wall to the right of the doorway, was a large mirror, with a glass shelf under it. Nail clippers and a few other items were on it. Under the mirror was a well-stocked towel-rack. The towels were white and didn't look like one giant hairball, thank goodness.

On the last wall, on the left as you came in, were two shower stalls. They looked good enough, and they had good cover as well. They were an off-white, almost a very light brown colour, but went quite well with the blinds in that respect.

On the floor was light-brown lino, with a deep red rug stretching across in front of both shower stalls.

A few others came to see as well, and all proclaimed that it was a nice bathroom. Kym, Vi and Kennedy smirked.

'Don't worry.' Kym said. 'These are the guest or spare rooms. The slayers' rooms are way more fun, practically covered in posters and the like. They aren't all like this.' She assured them.

The bladers nodded, relieved to know this wasn't like Biovolt Abbey, only inhabited by girls. The three slayers left them be, walking back to their own rooms, all on the same corridor. Pretty soon, all three of them were certain they being followed.

Kym waved her hand dismissively, telling the other two to leave it. If Robert and Johnny wanted to follow them, she'd let them follow them.

They reached Vi's room, and she went inside, waving farewell to her fellow generals. Kennedy's door was the next one along, and Kym was suddenly self-conscious as she walked along the bare corridors.

She knew from pure instinct that she was still being followed, but even the fact that she knew they were there was unusually small comfort to her. If it had been Bryan, Kai, Tala or anyone else, she wouldn't have been like this, she knew that. The fact it was them, made Kym want to run and hide. Why, she doubted she would ever know.

Kym dug out her key as she neared her door, stopping for about a minute to unlock and open the door. It was all the two boys needed.

Johnny and Robert each caught one of Kym's arms, twisting both of them behind her body, gripping them tightly. Kym neither struggled nor cried out. She stayed still and made herself as comfortable as possible.

'Yes?' Kym asked, sounding bored and slightly annoyed.

'We need to talk.' Robert stated. Kym swivelled her head to look at him.

'You couldn't have told me that without putting me into two arm-locks first?' She asked them. They stopped twisting her arms, but never released them completely. They frog-marched her into the room. Robert locked it again, pocketing the key, while Johnny pushed Kym onto her double-bed. She sank into the covers, twisting and tangling into them.

Kym tried to get up again, but Johnny pushed her back again, more forcefully this time. Kym tried to bat him away as she attempted to get up again. Once again, Johnny succeeded in pushing her back.

Kym stopped trying, only moving to dodge Johnny, as he attempted to grab her, and probably pin her down. Robert walked over, until he was right at the edge of the bed. This meant two things. One: he was holding Kym's legs from the knees downwards in place, and two: he was looking down at her, something Kym had never liked.

'Ok Kym. First, what do you know about your family?' asked Robert. Kym raised an eyebrow and swore under her breath. The all-too familiar tears were welling up again at the mention of her "family".

'Nothing. When I was about three years old, my Watcher came and took me away from them. I was forced to loose contact with them to save them, because if demons found out they were a slayer's family, they would be out into mortal danger. I couldn't risk them.' Kym said. She had turned away, hoping they wouldn't see her tears. Johnny did.

'Why are you crying?' he asked her. Kym shrugged into her covers. Johnny sat down next to her, and coaxed her into looking at him. He smiled at her. Kym smiled back, but it soon disappeared again. She snapped back to Robert.

'Why the hell do you wanna know?' she spat out at him. Robert stayed calm.

'Because I knew a girl very like you, also called Kymica, who was also taken away at three by a man. I never saw or heard from her again. She was long believed to be dead.' Robert told her. Kym stiffened, though the boys suspected it was more than at her full name. Robert sighed.

'She was my sister.'
