Summary: Ever since the 3rd tournament started, Rei and Bryan have been acting strangely. Is it nothing? Or is it dangerous?
Mine, Now
Intro
Rei sighed, he had watched as the Blitzkrieg Boys walked past them, Kai nodding a greeting to him, which he had returned. The others had merely looked at him in interest and slight respect.
Rei shivered, the look in Bryan's eyes though...
"Rei?"
His head snapped up as he saw that Lee had been talking to him the whole time.
"Uh... sorry what?"
Lee sighed and shook his head. "I was just telling you to make sure that Kevin and Mariah aren't near each other on the bus."
Rei nodded, that he was used to, besides Mariah would more than likely sit near him; she'd been pleading with him to take a look at her blade.
His eyes grew distant again, and though Lee was worried, he didn't say anything. In fact, he was quite surprised when Mariah and the others sat a little further up front to give him privacy.
Was it that obvious?
----Scene Change----
Kai sighed, he was on the way to the stadium, apparently there was an Opening Ceremony that the 'BladeBreakers' and the 'Demolition Boys' needed to be there for.
He hated these things, that'd mean they'd be stuck with someone and have to do some stupid opener; thankfully they only needed to be there for their part.
Tala looked over at him, and smirked at the bored, yet resigned look on his face. It was almost amusing.
Neither noticed the fact that Spencer and Bryan were looking at them with confusion, they nearly looked like friends again.
They finally got to the Stadium about 20 minutes later, the only team that was there was the White Tiger X team, minus Mariah and Gary. So apparently, they'd have to split the opener with Rei.
By the time Mr. Dickenson was free enough to come up to them, they had settled themselves into almost comfortable silence.
"Hello boys!" He called cheerfully, and was met with a few raised eyebrows & nods.
"Hey Mr. D!" Rei said, trying to sound as if everything was normal. "So what's the deal?"
Stanly smiled, obviously seeing through the façade like he always did. "Well young Rei, it seems we have a problem, the stage is not completely finished and the microphones are still being tweaked, so only three people will go on."
Rei nodded, pushing off from where he was leaning on the wall. "One of them would be me right?"
He was answered with a simple nod. "And two others..." He looked over Lee and Kevin, who both looked utterly exhausted. "From the Blitzkrieg Boys Team." He finished.
His statement brought all the heads snapping in his direction, everyone was now fully alert, well except for Kai, who really didn't care one way or the other as long as it wasn't Tyson.
"You mean you trust us, old man?" Bryan said sarcastically. "Wouldn't want us to hurt poor Rei now would you?"
"Exactly."
That caused his eyebrow to rise.
"Rei can take care of himself that much I can assure you boys. Besides, wouldn't it be best to start off this new tournament with old and new friendships?"
Kai shook his head, "Whatever. I'm in, who else?" He asked, looking around at the team, Tala was just about to volunteer when Mr. Dickenson stepped in.
"Actually, I was hoping it could be: Rei, Kai and Bryan."
They all gave him a look... which apparently didn't work on him. Nodding they stood, one day... one day to prepare and everything would hit the fan.
Joy.
Well?
