Forming A Bond.
Hey, it's Izzy here with our first proper fic that focuses on the lovely Eternity Knights. This fic takes place after Kano and Izzy leave Russia and head to China before going to Japan. I don't own beyblade. If I did then there is no way it would be suitable for the age group it's targeted at! I own Izzy, Kano owns Kano. Please review. Enjoy!
Chapter One - Plushies"Ok, so we'll meet at the Ming Sang Po in two hours. Remember – no smoking weed, no drinking alcohol, no stealing, no causing fights and no killing pigeons. Got it?" Kano sighed at the end of the sentence. She repeated it to Izzy every time they left the places they happened to be staying at.
"Yes Kano." Izzy replied, eyes downcast, sounding upset.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get on at you!" Kano hugged Izzy as she spoke. The pair split up – Kano needed a new gi tailored and Izzy wanted to explore China as she had never been before.
Meandering about the city, she found several herbal medicine shops, some bookstores (although she couldn't read what was in the books, apart from a Chinese to Arabic phrasebook) and some art shops. Buying some paper and pens (and some notepads), she kept on walking.
"What to do, what to do!" She moaned when a Chinese man came up to her.
"Do you enjoy or partake in the sport of Beyblading?"
"Yes..."
"Then please come to 'Dow Long Wong's Beyblade Supplies and Memorabilia Store'. It's just down the street."
"Eh, I've got nothing better to do and it'll kill some time. Thanks scary Chinese dude with bad taste in clothing!" Izzy waved as she walked down the street and into the shop. It looked very new and the product information was written in English as well as Chinese.
"Oh! A customer! How may I help!" A short balding Chinese man sprang up from behind the counter, startling Izzy who jumped.
"Um... just browsing." She replied trying to calm down.
"If you need anything...just give me a shout." The storekeeper sat in a chair reading a newspaper. Izzy dithered around and finally headed to the back of the store, muttering something about crazy Chinese people when something caught her eye.
Or rather several somethings!
Plushies...bitbeast plushies.
They were the bitbeasts of the Bladebreakers and showed which bitbeast belonged to which team member. One of the boys looked slightly like Kano, another resembled a fat blob of lard with a blue skunk on his head and another the guy who had knocked her back into the gutter in Russia.
But it was the blue-eyed, freckle-faced dandelion that caught her attention.
"Max Tate. Bitbeast called Draciel. Draciel is a very powerful turtle-like bitbeast." She read aloud. The plushie wasn't that expensive and was very sweet so she grabbed it.
Looking again at the boy who looked like Kano, she read his information aloud as well.
"Rei Kon. Bitbeast called Drigger. Drigger is a very powerful tiger-like bitbeast."
This Rei had hair almost the exact same as Kano, wore a gi and had tiger fangs; the only difference was eye colour. Kano had purple eyes whereas Rei had amber eyes. Picking up the Drigger plushie for Kano, she paid for both and left the store.
"Waaaaaaaaait!" The storekeeper yelled and Izzy whirled around. A magazine hit her on the nose.
"Complementary magazine." Uttering her thanks, she went to the restaurant and found a table. Flicking through the magazine, she jumped when Kano pinged her nose.
"Oh! Got you a prezzie!" Izzy delved into her bag and produced the Drigger plushie. Handing it to Kano, she smiled.
"Wow! Thanks!" Kano grinned and sat the plushie on one of the two spare seats.
"Look!" Izzy picked up her Draciel plushie and magazine.
"Cool." Kano answered when Izzy showed off her own purchases.
"Hello, are you ready to order?" A small Chinese waitress piped up.
"As a matter of fact...I will have the Ming Sang Dung Chow Lo-." Izzy was cut off by an embarrassed Kano.
"Look, point to what you want and I'll order it. It says what's in the dish under its name." Kano finished ordering as Izzy lit up.
The two girls ate quietly talking about the Bladebreakers. After paying they headed back to their hotel to pick up their bags. As they got in the taxi, there was an odd sort of tension. It had hung in the air like a bad smell ever since Izzy had asked Kano some questions about Kai. However, when they arrived at the airport and checked in, Kano suddenly paled and grabbed Izzy's shoulders.
"Izzy! We haven't booked a room in a hotel or anything! Where can we stay!" Kano seemed to be quite worked up and anxious. The tight grip on Izzy's shoulders was starting to piss her off too.
"Kano! For fuck's sake calm down!" Izzy yelled, startling both herself and her companion.
"Sorry Izzy. Going to Japan is really important to me."
"I'm nervous about going back too, we might bump into my family. I only really talk to my dad and we haven't spoken for months."
"That doesn't solve the problem of where to stay."
"Wait a sec! Kano, we can stay with Drako! Just let me call him." Izzy pulled out her mobile and dialled a number she had used to keep her somewhat sane during her time in Russia.
So, what do you think? I'm better writing first person but I only use that for drabbles and there will be several of those cropping up. The next chapter will hit your screens soon, stay tuned people! Love Izzy!
