First off, I have to apologize for not being on and updating anything for so long. I started college and I've just been so busy that it's hard to find time to do anything. So I'm sorry for any slow updates that come in the future. I'm going to try to finish most of my old stories but I can't guarantee all will be finished since I've either lost the files for some or can't remember where I was going with them.
Again, I'm so sorry, but I hope you enjoy this new story! :)
Sandra sat with her friends at the park. Gingka and Kenta were currently having a battle, neither holding anything back. Sandra sat on a bench beside Kyoya, leaning her head on his shoulder. Tsubasa was laying in the grass with Alex, Yu, and Tithi. Madoka and Yuki sat on the picnic blanket they brought with Benkei not far off begging for food. Nile and Demure, who had come to visit, were a little ways off training. Leonora was watching them, but most of her attention was focused on Nile.
"Would you two take it easy?" Madoka asked, looking at Gingka and Kenta. "I've repaired enough damage over the past week!"
"Same goes for me," Alex added. "You guys wore us all out."
"We didn't really have a choice, you know," Kenta pointed out.
"That doesn't change the fact that I'm tired!" Madoka snapped, leaning up against the tree behind her.
"Ok! Ok! We'll stop for now!" Gingka gave in, not wanting to be on the receiving end of Madoka's wraith.
"What are we supposed to do though if we can't battle?" Yu asked.
"Yeah! That's no fun!" Tithi agreed.
"I don't care just take a break for once!" Madoka retorted.
"Why don't you watch the clouds? See what shapes you can find?" Tsubasa suggested.
Alex nodded. "Yeah, like that one there? It looks like a pirate ship."
The others joined them while Sandra and Kyoya remained in their spot. Kyoya put his arm around her shoulders. "Can we please leave?" he asked in a whisper.
Sandra rolled her eyes and looked up into his eyes. "You want to be a loner?" she countered.
"I just want some time with you all to myself," Kyoya replied with a shrug.
Sandra smiled and kissed his on the cheek. "Alright, how about we go spend time by the river, just the two of us?" she suggested. Kyoya nodded and the two headed off to be alone.
Alex's POV
Alex laid and watched the clouds with the others for a while, but then she heard footsteps approaching them. She sat up and saw a boy with slick black hair and green eyes approaching. He wore a black leather jacket, a green shirt underneath, jeans, and black boots. Alex's eyes widened and she nudged Leonora a little harder than she meant to.
"Ow! What?" Leonora asked, sitting up. She then saw who Alex was looking at and her expression changed to match Alex's.
"What's wrong?" Tsubasa asked as he and the others sat up.
The newcomer stopped in front of them, smiling. "Hi Alex, Leonora, it's been a while."
"Xander," Alex greeted, getting up. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you guys, actually. Have you seen Sandra? I really need to talk to her," Xander answered.
"Y-You just missed her," Alex stammered, but then Leonora elbowed her in the side. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Any idea where she might have gone?" Xander questioned.
"She's probably off with Yo-yo, like usual," Yu piped up.
Xander narrowed his eyes. "Yo-yo?"
"Don't worry about it!" Alex said quickly, shooting Yu a look. "How about I call you when I see Sandra?"
Xander's smile returned and he nodded. "Of course. I'll see you later then." He then turned and walked off and Alex let out a sigh of relief.
"What was that all about?" Tsubasa asked. The rest of the group looked confused as well.
Alex exchanged a glance with Leonora. "Well, that was Xander. Back when we used to live in America, he and Sandra used to be a thing," Leonora answered.
"And they were pretty serious," Alex added.
"That explains it," Madoka said. "What do you think he wants to talk to Sandra about?"
"I hope it's not what I think it is,"Alex replied, grimly.
"He probably wants to talk to her about getting back together," Leonora guessed.
"But she's with Kyoya!" Benkei protested.
"That wouldn't stop Xander," Alex pointed out. "He used to be pretty possessive. And he'll do anything to get what he wants."
"That doesn't sound good," Kenta commented.
Alex shook her head. "It's not. I don't want to imagine what he'll do if he figures out that Sandra and Kyoya are a thing."
"I'm guessing this is why Sandra and him split up right?" Madoka guessed.
Leonora nodded. "Yeah, Sandra cut it off with him. She was pretty sad after that. They were really close, but she eventually got over it. And obviously she's really happy with Kyoya."
"Those two can handle themselves," Nile assured them.
Tsubasa nodded. "But we still should be cautious around Xander. We don't want to set him off."
"He'll be set off when Sandra turns him down," Alex pointed out.
"We'll just have to stand together like we always do," Gingka said with a confident smile. Everyone nodded in agreement.
There's the first chapter! Please R&R :)
