disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan.
Author's note: Retelling of New Vestroia of course. I intended to write the first season because no matter what people say it's great and i love it but i got lazy and went with season 2 instead. I apologize in advance if this story isn't so detailed, because it's been years since I last saw Bakugan.
Rin Kazami is the first OC I've created. I love her a lot. I want to write about her. So here she is. I will attempt to make this character un-Sueish as I possibly can.
Rin Kazami ("Please don't ever call me Miss Kazami". She would insist, sweetly and lovely but her hands were ready to punch you if you disobeyed. She was never to lose her cool over something so trivia, or at least, it was what she claimed) was a brawler of no stunning talents.
Shun Kazami, her brother, would say that she would eventually get better if she practiced well enough, but Rin had moved to America since her mom passed away (it still made her uneasy to confront Shun, because nothing could change the ugly truth that she left him and grandfather to move to her father's place. She often remembered the time when they were close) and focused on study instead of joining Bakugan war (admittedly, she regretted it a lot, since Shun was in it, and she'd missed Shun as if she hadn't missed him for ages. Later, Shun called her, of course, to tell her everything was alright in his curt, controlled voice, and Drago had became the core of New Vestroia, of Bakugan's homeland, and of course all Bakugan had to come back because it was their homeland. Including Skyress. Rin remembered her sobbing, because Skyress was like a mother to Shun, to her.
"It was somewhat sad." He'd said. "When I thought that you didn't have your own Bakugan."
Translate: I missed you.)
Her American friends once asked about what Rin wanted, and she just shrugged. "I want to have my own Bakugan."
They considered it a joke.
Rin didn't even bother.
The first words Shun said to her, after more than three years of not seeing each other: "Why are you so thin?"
Rin stared at him, and then burst out laughing at the middle of the airport.
Shun wasn't amused.
- and now she kind of got his feeling at that time, now, when she was running and hiding in the forest. And honestly, it wasn't what she expected when she came back from America.
Note to self for the nth times: Never agree to practice ninja skills with your brother in the evening, you may be stuck in a portal, which may send you to the land of Bakugan, New Vestroia.
Wildgress, her Ventus Bakugan, told her so.
It was funny about the way fate worked, you know, it only took a grab, a jump, a quick action for her to save a Bakugan that would become her partner, thus, fulfill her dreams.
(She told Shun, and he laughed at her, the bastard.)
Ah, back to the current event, she was hiding from a hovecraft ridden by a scrawny little kid (smaller than her, and calling him bastard might insult the word, goddamn it she couldn't believe that he was scrawnier than her.), his Flybeetle was all everywhere, looking for their preys.
"Don't worry, Rin. You can just send me out -" Wildgress suggested.
"Shut up." She said. "Let me be good at the only thing I can." That only thing named 'hiding', because Rin was no talented brawler, and if she lost to the scrawny kid, Wildgress would be captured.
No suck luck.
(And really, Rin thought, she just had the worst luck sometimes.)
One Flybeetle's flew over her head, and Rin had to shut her eyes momentarily when its wing blew away some bushed.
Pink hair, seriously. What kind of style did Vexos got?
"Well, what have we got?"
"Are you blind?" She shouted. "Too scared to get down?"
The scrawny little shit just smirked at her: "Flybeetle, attack."
"Rin!"
"Damn it. Ventus Wildgress, stand. Attack him!" It was hard not keep herself from smiling like a smitten fool at the sight of Wildgress, green and strong and with silver fangs and sharp claws, roar of a lion and wings of a dragon, blasted the damn Flybeetle and created so much dirt.
"Don't think I'll let you get off easily!" Her opponent shouted, and threw another Flybeetle out, but before Rin or he could reach, a six-winged bird man knocked out it first, then a hooded figure jumped down beside her, grabbed her arm, and ran away.
People could consider lucky to be saved. But Rin knew he'd bite her head off when they got to safe place.
The first thing Shun said to her, after they were back in their hiding place (a dry and warm cave and quite clean), was of course: "What did you do to your hair?"
Rin huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, but she didn't dare to glare at him. Because he was awful and a terrible friend, Wildgress started to laugh. "I hate you." She informed Wildgress crossly, and then looked at Shun, explanation running like quicksilver. "Just some leaves. Some trees took offence at my intrusion into their branches."
Shun raised an eyebrow.
"I thought I told you not to go out alone."
Rin bit the insides of her mouth. "You have been gone for five days, Shun." It sounded defeated, but this world was dangerous even if she had utmost faith in Shun's abilities and his devotion, but there was a distance that she didn't dare to cross, a hole between them after their mom's death and her going to America and his fighting Bakugan war without her by his side and Rin'd be damned if she let him do this again.
He had friends, but she was his little sister and she was selfish and wishing for too much.
Shun sighed. "I'm sorry." But his voice wasn't heavy. "But I came back with good news."
"Oh." There was relief colored his voice and Rin immediately decided she'd like the news. "What?"
"I've found Dan and Marucho."
Rin became very very still.
(There was another flash of dearest childhood memories, a boy whose eyes holding fire).
Hope you like it.
