Chapter 10

"Oh darn…Another one…" The blonde lady sighed, looking at her flat tire wondering what could possibly be done now. She had to get to the church soon, she was to make sure nothing bad would happen and that the day went smoothly for the couple. Now things were getting worse.

Since her generation was not too keen on phones she had not bothered lifting her own personal mobile when she had left the house. "Oh toffee!" She wondered where on earth she was. Looking around she saw the plain, old factories which appeared as if there had been no activity for years.

She continued to walk away from her car, it would be no use to anyone, as she clutched her handbag tighter wondering why she was having a bad feeling about this factory. She could smell something foul, and put a hand over her nose, hoping to make the odour disappear though as she continued to walk forward it only got worse and worse until the woman almost gagged from the stench.

"My, my, it certainly smells here…I wonder why it stinks like this?" She continued to move until she her something creak then hiss.

"Hello? Who's there!" She looked around wondering why on earth she was feeling so scared, though she continued onwards hoping to find some phone box or something to stop the horrible smell of blood from making her – blood?

The woman stopped, and edged nearer a dark hole in the ground, a dark abyss was down there, a small hook and crane were above it, the woman narrowed and squinted her eyes, she could certainly see something. In fact she could hear something…

The girl looked warily over her shoulder unsure of what was following her, though didn't dare stop for a moment to double check. It was funny to be so scared, so frightened of simple footsteps that quicken with each stride as if they really were coming after her.

The night gave shadows to once innocent looking possessions but now everything was daunting and unknown. What the girl had been out for was to simply meet someone, the person she was to meet she did not know. Which was stupid any way it was looked at.

Warm breath made a white mist which only seemed to make the girl even more aware of her heavy breathing. Before she knew it she had bolted into an alleyway and hoped for the best. Not hearing anything apart from her own heartbeat she believed that maybe it was all in her mind and she decided to just get on with the journey home.

Her skin turned cold and her heart stopped as she suddenly heard something behind her, not knowing what to think she turned numbly…

Selene's eyes opened quickly as she jolted upright, looking around for him as if the dream was still happening. As she briefly took in the familiar surroundings her breathing slowed down and she finally realised that she was still in Tyson's Dojo with Rei and Kenny still fast asleep.

"Damn it." Selene frowned and quickly rubbed her eyes wondering what time she had awoken at, she had places to go and people to meet today, and if she were to be in a situation where the place she was going to go was in question. Then she would definitely have to explain too much to too many people.

Slowly getting up she made her way to the bathroom, quickly changing, and fleeing the household not even making sure that she was the only one awake. All she needed to do was make sure she was not being followed and she would be fine.

The morning air was cold and caused the girl to pick up her pace as she hoped to get a taxi to the airport. She didn't really know if she has enough money but she was sure that she had brought enough.

Police buzzed around making sure no reporter or passer-by would get in to look at the newest victim. A blonde lady sat on the edge of a police car's driver's seat. Shivering, face paling with every second, muttering about why someone would do something like that...

They had tried to take a statement, but all they had heard was the words describing what they could see in front of them. It only took a few minutes to figure out who it was, apparently she was known in tennis and the beyblading sport.

Reporters had seemed to smell the very blood of Emily York and had rushed to the scene almost as far as the police had. A policeman was gone within seconds as he went to do paper-work instead of look around at the crime scene, it was far too grotesque for someone who had just joined a mere month ago.

People were drawn by the police and reporters and the sirens that wailed over and over again as if they were the one's in pain. Hushed voices of officers meant that the reporters could only ask questions that would be ignored blatantly.

When an inspector arrived, the one that had been following any sort of random, violent crime being committed, he was taken straight to the scene. Which was not pretty. It had taken the police quite some time to get the snakes out, in fact they had specialists come in and take them away, so they could be examined later in case any evidence was found on them. Or in them.

Emily York was not the luckiest person and she certainly did not die in a quick, painless manner. Everyone at the scene felt ill and shocked by the news of someone so young had been murdered – not unless she was harvesting snake eggs…Which was highly unlikely.

Selene sighed as she watched the girl walk briskly towards her, "Long time no see." She smiled. Selene nodded and gave a helping hand with a bag – which happened to be the lightest looking one out of the three of them.

"It would be best for you to stay out of the dojo, Lita." Selene watched as Lilita frowned in confusion then smiled, probably wanting an explanation for her reasoning. Lilita was wondering why on earth that was the first thing that Selene had decided to talk to her about.

"Kai's gotten a little better. It would be a little too much if you suddenly came back and also started living in the same home." Selene stated looking around hoping no one would think that two teenage girls at the airport was strange then again the legal age to be on an aeroplane alone was eight years old.

"Don't get the wrong end of the stick! I'm not staying with Tyson. He hardly knows me, that'd just be strange. Plus I trust you to keep things under-wraps." She smiled, she had made arrangements to stay in a Motel, near the Dojo and the stadium, right in the middle of the two.

"Why, thank you." Selene said sweetly, though Lilita knew she was just being sarcastic again, like usual. Just to keep the conversation light-hearted she decided to give her own sarcasm out. "Always a pleasure Selene." It was funny how they had hated each other when they had first met but it had turned into a strange sort of friendship – or bond.

"Any news?" Selene asked as she placed the bag she offered to carry down hoping that a taxi would suddenly drive by to be flagged down.

"Our theories have all been wrong so far… Everyone from the Sin's are fine. Also I contacted Aton, he said that there's been nothing unusual happening." Selene nodded as she listened to what Lilita was saying, "So I think this means that this doesn't have anything to do with the Seven Sins in that time…It's still a little weird though." Lilita sighed and placed down her heavier bags, already her arms were aching and they hadn't even gotten out of the airport yet.

"Kai won't like to know you've been speaking to his brother…" Selene smirked as if she were going to use that information against her, though Lilita sighed and shook her head again. Getting out of the airport took a few minutes since Lilita seemed to not be able to handle the weight of her bags. When they reached outside they were taken by surprised when the cold air smacked them in the face.

"Kai doesn't like a lot of things," She cleared her throat and stretched, she was quite amazed on how little a number of taxi's came at about six in the morning, okay maybe that was a little extreme. Not everyone would be up at this time.

"So are we back to square one then?" Selene sighed wondering why Lilita was the one trying to solve this case when it had been her that had been attacked. Yet, Lilita seemed to want to try to help and Selene gave no indication that she was bothered by that.

"I think we are. Of course we have a dead body…well another one." Lilita looked around at the grey buildings and the grey sky, everything looked pretty dull her. She didn't feel happy either.

"What do you mean?" Selene's head snapped back round to look at the other girl, who seemed a little taken aback by the sudden attention though she got back to what she was meaning to say.

"I heard something like a name got scrubbed off, so I think that means that person's been killed." She said quietly hoping that no one from security walked by when she was saying anything along the lines of this.

"Like a hit list?" Selene said thoughtfully for a moment, there was something strange about that. If someone wanted to make everyone know who they were going to kill then… It'd be pointless – since those people would be able to get help and stop anyone from coming within hundred miles of them.

Lilita nodded though Selene's thoughts were away with her, as she began to dictate them out so she could see if Lilita could bounce anything back. "But…why is some of it in Greek and some of it in English…If you were going to kill someone then you would be sure they would…" Selene frowned again and now Lilita was confused wondering what the girl was talking about.

"Would what?" Selene shook her head not bothering about anything as she tried to remember something that she had heard from one of the BladeBreakers, it could have been one of the Demolition Boys… She wasn't too sure.

"Never mind, let's go, you made me get up early, you're paying for the cab." Selene thought that Lilita would pay since she was helping her with her luggage. Of course nothing seemed to work out to plan as of late.

"I have jet lag…" Lilita smiled, putting on a whining voice as if it was the most horrible thing in the entire world. Then again Selene did not want to admit she didn't have enough money to pay for the cab.

"I have a sore leg." That was went the arguing begun, and they gave each other petty excuses over and over again, if someone were to walk past then they would rather surprised to hear two girls saying what the worst thing that had happened to them as late. "I have two heavy bags to carry."

Selene huffed as if she were losing but she was suddenly reminded of what had happened only a few weeks ago. "I was almost killed by Kai." Raising her eyebrows, preparing herself for any shock that would over-whelm her if Lilita had anything worse than that to say.

Lilita thought for a moment, she shook her head and threw her hands in the air, as if trying to wave off the petty argument. "…Fine. I'll pay for cab!" Lilita rolled her eyes as Selene gave a smug smile and headed for a taxi that had suddenly noticed them.

Climbing into the taxi the driver turned to look at them both then waited for his directions. "To the Joyful Tiger Motel." Immediately Selene turned and gave Lilita a blank look. The radio was on but it was incomprehensible for any words to actually be heard only the high melodies where heard.

Lilita frowned wondering what was wrong, wondering if Selene had suddenly forgotten something. "Why does that sound cheap?" Selene asked suddenly.

She laughed nervously, "Because…it is…It's just a Motel." She saw the same blank, unimpressed look on Selene's face as she continued to laugh.

Selene narrowed her eyes at the other girl sitting beside her, she was paying the driver no attention whatsoever. "I thought you were loaded?"

The other girl shrugged, "Correction, my parents are well off – I am a simple money leech. To them anyway." Again she laughed and cleared her throat not really wanting to talk about where she was staying, it was supposed to be only a few minutes from the dojo.

"Right. That's not hard to figure out, 'specially if you were once Greed and all." Selene noticed there was no indication that Lilita had heard, nor had the driver, but it did.

The calm atmosphere was suddenly stopped as Lilita turned around and glared at the other girl, she had told her because it would help her understand what her attacker meant. Although that did not mean she wanted Selene to talk about her being possessed so freely. "Selene." Lilita gave her a warning – what if the driver was listening in?

"Who cares?" Selene looked away, slightly annoyed that she was being scolded for just saying something, it wasn't as if the taxi driver would drive them to the mental hospital.

"I do." It was Lilita's turn to look out of the window, she noticed that everything in this town seemed pretty dull, for the moment.

"Remind me again why I should care?" Selene was frowning now, the humour had gone and the two girls shifted uncomfortably. The only problem with this friendship was that they tended to argue if they didn't have something important to discuss.

"You're unbelievable." Lilita muttered, brushing a few stray strains of hair back behind her ear. Selene was going to respond with a snide comment until they heard from the small radio a disturbance and even the driver took interest in.

"Today the body of Emily York was found, the eighteen year old female's body was located by Ms. Cooper. The woman had a burst tire, found the famous tennis and beyblader in an old shaft in an abandoned factory. She died by multiple snake bites."

The two teenagers looked at each other, wanting to see if they either of them knew that this had already taken place and just not bothered to say anything. The taxi driver turned it up now more interested in what the woman was babbling about.

"Police say that Emily was another victim of the serial killer, that has now been labelled 'Killer Angel'. Also the police say that they had no intention of letting the graffiti stay on the monument, and will be cleaned off as soon as." Before Selene had any other time to think about what was being said, Lilita had handed over some notes and was already getting out of the car. Selene was dragged outside - where it was much colder.

Without any hesitation Lilita started talking in a hushed voice, knowing that the other teenager would be slightly annoyed at being dragged out of a warm car . "Selene, what do you think will happen... if and when the police wash that off..?" Washing a sign like that off may calm the public, though it was a clear sign that the police had no idea what to do.

"The so called killer-angel will go on a killing spree." Selene said it in such a way that Lilita had to think about what she said. Does she even care if someone else gets killed?

"How do you know that?" Lilita wondered why the other girl looked so distracted, it was normal to be a little more distant after being attacked by two people in the space of a month but...This was different. She would go off into her own world, and from what Lilita seen on her face it was not a pleasant world.

"Well, think about it, he's been on television since he started with that message, now if that gets cleaned off he'll think we are purposely ignoring him. Think about it. If you're wanting attention and end up with it you don't exactly want it to end so quickly right?" It made sense, but the guy was supposed to be working in some sort of order, which meant all they did was have to find certain people - but if this killer went mad and started killing random people. Then the police would certainly be in hot water and the press would have a field day.

"So you mean to say this is all an attention act?" Lilita said carefully wanting to get information out of Selene before she went off into her own world again.

Selene was beginning to walk a little to quickly for Lilita's liking and muttered something, hoping that she would caught the drift but she seemed to be in deep thought. "I don't know, it's probably..."

"You're doing it again. You're off in your own world again, I don't know what you're thinking. Tell me." Selene saw the slight concern that washed over the girls face.

"I don't know what to think anymore to be honest...It's probably something bigger than some psycho having some fun." She didn't know why but she felt like she had to say something like that, so in the future she could turn around and say 'I told you so.'

"So who is Emily again...?" Lilita said while trying to go through the people she had met on the boat, about three years ago. Since then she hadn't much changed except from calm down from the so-called, crazy, hyper-active person she once was.

The first time Selene had heard that name, was when Hilary had decided to tell her about what was happening to Kai. Emily's disappearance. "Oh no..." Selene was now the one with the concerned look.

Lilita looked at the other girl slightly confused on what was going on inside her head. "Because of what Kai did to me - his team stopped him in participating in the tournament... I heard from Hilary that someone named Judy kept accusing Kai of knowing where Emily was. Though he said he didn't..." Selene rambled on quickly, hoping that she did not need to repeat it.

Who's Hilary? Lilita frowned when she heard the name, it wasn't familiar, but she had other more important questions to ask. "He'll feel responsible...won't he?" Lilita caught on quicker than Selene had suspected, but was happy that she didn't have to explain anything out as if she were speaking to a five year old.

"With how he's feeling I'll be surprised if he hasn't tried to commit suicide by the time I've gone back." Selene scoffed and looked up at the dreary sky, the grey clouds seemed to mask everyone's feeling's about now. It would be a complete mirror of those feeling's if it were to start to rain. Heavily.

Lilita was filled with dread, the kind that when anything important was about to happen - a test that must not be failed, the feeling of wanting time itself to stop. "Selene! Kai wouldn't do that!" She knew that it was possible for anyone to end up harming themselves. But Kai? No...never...He could never be that bad...?

"Would Kai strangle a girl?" Selene frowned, she knew that Lilita would not be able to get out of this and waited for her reply, if she planned on pretending she hadn't heard she would yell it loud enough for her to.

"Well...no - I mean that he was just was stressed. He just needs some time." Selene knew that Lilita was trying to avoid this. Hell, even she wanted to avoid saying anything but when she had been stuck in a house where no one seemed to trust her or Kai himself, it was a little bit more than what she could handle.

"Yeah and happy people try to end their lives!" Selene hissed back, she knew it was not going to help their mood any by talking about such a subject but it was oblivious to think that Kai wouldn't try to do something like that.

"Stop it..." Lilita looked away from the other girl hoping she would stop talking about Kai in that way. She had never once known him to be that sad or that desperate for some way to stop or start feeling again. Either way it was a bad sign.

"I won't lie to you...Lita, he's different." The very atmosphere around them changed once again, as she suddenly realised that Kai wouldn't get over this in a day or even a week. He either needed a whole load of time, or a wake-up call.

"Remember you're here to see Kai. You're here to help me get through these nightmares. You are here in your own will, remember if it gets too much, you can leave." Selene was just giving the girl instructions at least then she'd actually feel as if she were needed while she was here. Now that she was here Selene didn't have to hang around so much with the BladeBreakers. They were okay but Selene was much to annoyed with the constant questions.

Lilita just shrugged.

"Kai is at rock bottom, it doesn't matter what you do to make him worse - just make him feel, like him again." Selene had no idea if Kai truly was at rock bottom but if he wasn't then he certainly would be near it.

"What if I can't do anything to help, what if I make it worse?" Lilita's depressing tones made Selene a little worried, if she was getting affected already by just hearing how sad Kai was then what would she be like when they met up? Still Selene decided to try to turn the conversation around.

"You can't. You're both like..." Selene smiled when she suddenly thought of a way to really annoy the girl that had suddenly caused her to get out of the warm taxi so quickly.

"What?" Selene noticed the sideway glance that she was given, as if Lilita was trying hard not to seem too interested to what she was saying. So Selene continued to say things just to make the other teenager even more awkward.

"I don't know... But I think I gave the impression that you two were...more than friendly." Selene's small smile grew as she saw Lilita stop in her tracks, but Selene just kept walking wondering what she would say to that. She shouldn't have made me get out of that damn taxi!

"You are kidding right?" Lilita was by Selene's side again and even though she had sore arms because of the two bags, she was too engrossed in what Selene was saying about her and Kai.

"Why do you look like a tomato now? Aw, are you embarrassed?" Selene said a little louder than necessary, but she noticed that indeed Lilita was getting embarrassed, not like it was hard to figure out especially if you knew how the girl acted whenever the emotionless blader was around.

"Now I'm going to go and meet everyone again and they'll think that I'm dating their captain..." Lilita shook her head not wanting to believe what she had just heard but Selene having somewhat of a sadist-complex she decided to pull Lilita up for something.

"Who said anything about dating?" The smile grew a littler bigger as Lilita huffed and hit Selene's arm, in an attempt to scold, and hopefully to stop the conversation.

"Shut up...You're just trying to embarrass me aren't you." Lilita muttered wondering why she had to be with such a person in the early hours of the morning.

"Looks like I've already won." Selene chuckled as Lilita marched ahead with the two heavier cases, though appeared to be silently struggling with their weight.

After the pair managed to walk in silence for a while, the oldest - being Lilita turned into a street, and Selene couldn't help but scoff loudly to gain the others attention.

"So this is your hotel?" Selene rose an eyebrow wondering why on earth anyone would want to stay somewhere that looked like some hostel. Lilita rolled her eyes again a little amused at the tone in Selene's voice. "It's Motel actually..."

Shrugging she walked forward, and grabbed one more bag as if trying to save the other girl any strain. "First Motel I've heard that's in Japan."

Lilita frowned and started walking next to the other, wondering why she had bothered to take the other bag from her. "Shut up. It's an American company trying to persuade people to go in."

"No wonder the names rubbish, companies should really research stuff about the places their setting up in. Not just American companies, everyone's annoy like that." Selene huffed, she was just trying to find something to annoy and get under Lilita's skin, after all it was the only pass time until she got back to the dojo and could annoy Hilary.

"You just are moaning because you have to carry a bag since we got out of the taxi." She looked around the streets as they began to get a little nosier, which meant most of the city was about to wake and Selene would be trapped in rush hour. Even on this Saturday.

"Since when did I have to do anything for you?" Selene and Lilita had quickly walked to the front of the motel, which looked like some strange apartment. The walls were grey, and looked nothing as appealing as it should have been.

"Look, help me then take me to wherever you're staying just so I know." Without thinking over her sentence she remembered she had some place to go and shook her head, disagreeing with herself, "In fact come back tomorrow everything should be okay by then." Then out of the blue Selene asked a very peculiar question.

"Do you think I could come and stay here for a while with you?" Lilita tilted her head slightly confused at what was going on in the mind of Selene. "I think I've outstayed my welcome at Grangers."

Selene shrugged, really she just didn't want to be in living in the dojo when Kai was there and Rei and Kenny where sleeping in the same room - they had already seen what state she got into when she had a nightmare.

"Since when did you care about what people thought?" Gasping as her arms began to get weighed down Lilita looked to see if Selene had any intention of slowing down. Apparently not.

"Being attacked by some loony and someone you are meant to have made peace with, then decides to strangles you does make you a little more wary of what people are thinking about." Lilita nodded numbly remembering what Selene had told her about what had happened, without being aware of it, she looked down at Selene's covered leg.

"You should hurry back, don't want everyone to you were out so early in the morning," Lilita was thankful that Selene had come with her, she probably would have taken twice as long to get anywhere as she would have stopped and rested her arms for a while. With Selene her she had to keep walking if not the girl would have left her well behind and Lilita did not like losing.

"Yes, with Kai's sweetheart." Selene said in a sing-song voice just trying to annoy Lilita again, and it worked as she put her bags down and turned to look at her once again. Hands on hips she yelled from the door of the Motel.

"Shut up Selene!" Lilita raged, getting a little worried that Selene would intentionally spread it around that she was supposedly going with Kai Hiwatari. When it was possible for Kai to have forgotten completely about her.

"I'm so going to make fun of you when you come to the dojo..." A cruel smirk came back, making Lilita apprehensive about what the other girl was thinking about. Selene on the other hand turned and left and was thankful that the walk back to the dojo was quiet.

As when she got there it was the complete opposite.

Author's Note: I couldn't help it…Sorry for the cliff hanger. Though maybe this will motivate me to write up another chapter within this four day weekend. Well, if you're not mad at me for updating pathetically then please send in a review! Later!
