Beyblades Bites

Torn Piece By Piece

As her beyblade spun away in the dish Serena's eyed stayed firmly closed while she considered the tasks that Boris had set for her, one of them was simple she had trained every day of the week and she continued to improve the only problem she had was staying away from Kai whenever she saw him walking around the streets she felt the need to hide. As her bitbeast Trinity escaped from the blade she gazed upon his beautiful appearance, the black wolf was pure power, along with the furiously silver flames which created his long bushy tail. The wolf resembled a husky.

Serena's eye's never left her trusted Trinity, she'd always relied on his power to make it through any battle the only problem was Trinity wasn't fine. He's been badly injured in a recent battle which she had used as a training match.

"Serena? Are you here?" her eyes flickered to the entrance of her garden, a familiar figure stood in the gateway. Kenny had a smile on his face and seemed happy enough to be in her presence.

"Hey, is it okay if I come in?" her nod was quick but her nerves stayed calm, she hadn't been around Kenny since the day she left the team. She'd found herself staying away from them and trying to maintain a normal life, how on earth she could manage that she'd never know.

"What brings you here on this fine day?" as Kenny took a seat beside her she began to feel tension, around the one person who's opinion mattered most to her.

"It's just, were you the partner of that dark haired blader yesterday? Kai's really beaten up, he's been bed ridden since yesterday." As Serena gasped an almost silent gasp she placed her face in her hand to hopefully rub some stress away.

"I thought he'd be okay, I mean my beyblade took quite a betting, I didn't think he did as well. Shit, does he know it was me?" with Kenny's nod suddenly her heart plummeted, she didn't want any harm to come to Kai.

"He's not in his best shape at the moment, but he isn't angry either. Actually he hasn't said much to any of his Tyson's granddad is helping him get better by letting him stay there. I just want to know what made you do it Serena, you were never like this." His face leaned closer to her awaiting her answer, his laptop rested carefully on his lap.

"I just don't know, I thought it would be fine. I need to practise and me and my partner needed some way of training, it was just that Kai seemed too confident I didn't know he wouldn't be able to handle it." Suddenly her voice was smothered with confidence, she wasn't regretting her actions yet at the same time she had the overwhelming guilty feeling sinking in her heart.

"Our team misses you, even Tyson hates to admit it but you can see it in his eyes he needs your skill for the perfect competition. Max misses your conversations and Ray misses his meditation partner. When it comes to Kai well he misses you for his own reason." Suddenly sense was sinking into her mind; she'd been affecting all of their lives by being selfish and continuing on with her own goals. She'd always been there for each member in her own personal way now she was going to be competing against each one of them in the first competition she had ever been in against them.

"Perhaps we should go for a walk, the beach?" as Kenny stood up Serena followed his lead, the walk was long and quiet neither of them said a word for what seemed like hours. The sun was high in the sky and was one of the hottest days of the year, Serena had dressed for the weather wearing her short denim shorts along with a black bikini top, and it was hard for Kenny to focus on his own footsteps let alone try and start a conversation with Serena.

"Kenny, I want to make amends with everyone I can't take the thought of them hating me I would never want them to think poorly of me. I love you lot so much I just have to do my own stuff for the moment." her strength was growing with each day the only problem was so was her independence.

"That sounds fair enough, why don't we head back now and we can get them all together. It's best to do it now, since everyone has been spending so much time training by themselves."

"All right, that sounds like a good enough plan to me. How do you think they'll act when they see me?" suddenly Kenny didn't look too confident in his words or how his fellow team mates would be able to react to such a situation.

"I don't know what could happen but I'll make sure nothing gets out of control." With a soft smile from Serena, they began the 10 minute walk to Tyson's.

"Tyson, are you in?" you could hear fumbling coming from the other room and that's the direction that Kenny and Serena headed in, as they entered the room everything seemed normal.

"Kenny come here a second, we need your choice on these moves we've wrote down." As Tyson turned to Kenny with a sheet in his hand, the paper soon floated to the floor. His face suddenly wasn't as happy and cheeky as it had been only seconds ago, Ray, Max and Hilary all turned to see what was in front of them, the only person who wasn't there was Kai. He'd vanished.

"What the fuck is she doing here? Kenny do you not know how badly beaten up Kai is you were with him. She's a traitor to all of us." His anger was the only facial expression he could show at the moment, his fist clenched at his sides with fury smothering him.

"Look Tyson I need to talk to you all, please just hear me out…" before she had any chance of finishing the conversation had been cut short.

"Serena what are you doing here?!" from behind her Kai's voice thundered towards her, she was barely able to stand the hostility in the room. Kai raged towards her forcing her to take a few steps back putting her back to back with the wall.

"Do you know how much fucking pain I've been in, I barely slept last night because I was in agony? Why can't you just stick to your words and stay away from me, you said you couldn't be near me then why are you here?" she flung her head back until she reached the wall, what else was there for her to do?

"Why? Because for once in my stupid life I wanted to do something right. I wanted to say how unbelievably sorry I am for doing this to you all, I miss you all the time. I can barely cope with my team and partner, then I see you all and suddenly I'm safe. Until I remember that you're no longer my team, you're not my safety net any more. It's hard to come to terms with." She wrapped her arms around herself trying to keep some sanity, she felt herself leaking emotions barely staying behind her tough exterior. She was lost.

The room was quiet and no one said a word, Kenny couldn't even say anything because there wasn't anything to say. For a moment Serena felt what could only possibly be her sanity rushing down her thighs until she realised she was falling, and fast.

As Serena's body crashed against the floor she gazed up at the group of people surrounding her, when she was strong they never supported her but when she was lying on the floor barely able to move they'd always be there for her. As she came in and out of consciousness she began to realise something, this wasn't her home anymore. These people weren't her friends.
