Part 11

Skai POV:

After my performance was the ceremony. I placed first while Yuna placed second but didn't show for the ceremony. Instead she decided to go back to Seoul, South Korea to continue figure skating under her coach. 

But after the event, I went to my sacred place, away from everything because at the end of my performance a lot of emotions struck me at once that I never thought I would feel again. In my bed room, I have a sacred little space where I hide most things that would make me feel again.

One being, the photo of me and my father at the Father and Daughter Ice Skating Competition. My love of skating started with him...I picked up his photo, reminiscing the moments we shared then, completely ignoring the constant knocking on the door by the one and only Choi Kim.

Then I heard my mother's voice outside the door. I don't mean to just listen in to the conversation they are having but can't help it if they are right outside my room. 

"I'm sorry Ms. Choi...um. I should of said something before you planned for her comeback or anything, I don't even know how to even explain this situation.  Um..." I heard my mother say but then another voice came through.

"It's because of many factors. The major one being our father, he was a famous figure skater and multi-world champion that represented Russia. His name was Yoshirou Babivecha...sure everyone has heard of him." My older sister Yoko said.

"Yes everyone knows King YoYo! He is a freaking legend! That's you all's father? Ma'am you married to him?!" Kim yelled but quickly got shushed. "I would always watch him whenever he appeared at the championships in Seoul, his theme King YoYo (a/n: King J.J. From Yuri On Ice) always get the crowd coming for more." 

My father Yoshirou Babivecha...also known for his legendary programs and Theme Of King YoYo. He always stood at the top of the men's Figure Skating Championships. That was until...one incident happen that cause his career to plummet so fast.

"Yes...that old fool became a huge inspiration to many people, including his own youngest daughter. You see Ms. Choi, it may not be my place to say it but these days after she performed that angelic performance she became so isolated too. It may have brought back tragic memories of her father. He was the King on Ice, as well as an angel too." My mother said. 

"Oh well I didn't know changing her direction of skate would do that. I should apologize and change her routines maybe-" Before Kim could even finish that sentence, I hurried up and open the door to my room giving her look full of rage.

"I dare you say that again, changing my routines just because of some stupid memory or incident. I double dare you Kim!" I yelled to her shocking all three of them at my door. The didn't expect me to be easedropping but who told them to start their conversation near my room?

"I also expect you don't want me to...apologize either huh?" she said with a soft smile and I just hummed and looked down. "That's fine then. How are you feeling now? Skai? Also I should also apologize for using your first name...you must have your reasons."

My first name, I don't like people using my first name because my father always used my first name when training and cheering me on. Skai only came as my second name or middle name, I prefer to use that to not stirr up any unwanted emotions. 

"It's okay. Next time if I hear you say it again I'm getting off the ice and going home. You wouldn't want to see a pissed Skai do you?" I warned her and she raised her brows like she is challenging me. 

When did she ever do that?

"Oh so you get to warn me but I don't? You wouldn't want to see a pissed Kim do you?" She warned me also and I took a step back, not knowing where all this weird energy coming from. 

I look to my mother and sister to find them holding in their laugh, only to make me glare at them more. I don't see what's funny but they also don't want me going back into isolation. 

"So I would only assume that you continued skating then is because of your father right? He was your inspiration...right?" Kim asked me and I only nodded. 

"I wanted to continue his legacy, of course we competed in the Father and Daughter Skating Competition back then so it was the only moment I really experienced something different other than feeling competitive and aggressive all the time. My aggressiveness only came after his death...That's how the Devil On Ice was born." I explained my little story to her. 

Yet she had to mention another thing, why am I explaining my past to her anyway?

"A Russian Free Skater skated a tribute to your father's theme King YoYo...It wasn't as perfect as his but he moved in a way that seem similar in steps and jumps to his theme. Was he...a friend of your fathers?" She asked.

I only chuckled bitterly remembering exactly who she is talking about. "That man was no friend of my father but more of a rival in the skating world. He came to us, our family, to ask to do this tribute. I mean he was already in the spotlight after my father's death so why not...Pit Srisuwan was not a Russian Skater...he was Thai and was on the same team as my father..."

The mention of that man name always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, I still remember how he was...and it was absolutely horrific. 

Other than that, "Anyways enough of him. I set a new goal. I want to compete in the championship again. I'm sure Yuna would be doing so as well." I said and Kim took upon initiate to ask the most annoying question.

"Is there a motive behind this sudden goal?" She asked with a raised brow and I only gave a scold look, my exact reasons would always be the same. 

"Tch. Of course, I want my title back as the World Champion in my Senior Debut. I wouldn't let Kang keep that title for that long, let her enjoy it while it last." I muttered.

My sister only commented one time and I ignored it because of course that was true. 

"The Devil is back again...What happened to that sweet angel on ice..."

Yeah...what happened? Nothing I just want to win...
