SR: Hey I'm SR for those who don't know me. Anyway, with me just dropping my former Beyblade story I got the sudden urge to right a new one and here's the beginning of it. Yes the beginning. There is more to add to all the useless blather you're going to read. You /are/ going to read it right? By the way if /anyone/ has or knows of /any/ Brooklyn fanfics then let me know 'cause I'll read them so fast it'll make your head spin. Now read my first chapter!
Let us in!
'He wouldn't. He couldn't.' These were the thoughts that graced a certain male neko-jinn's mind. Amber eyes watched Tyson as the blue haired boy crept closer and closer towards a dozing Kai. This in itself would have been reason to be suspicious but that bucket of water was the clincher. Tyson was up to something.
Kai who was taking a well-deserved rest had fallen asleep outside under a large oak tree. He looked so innocent and cute while sleeping that Rei nearly got up to intervene with Tyson's plan. The thought of Kai getting drenched with cold water was just to tempting though and the boy kept his silence.
"Hey Rei, what's going on?" Rei nearly jumped out of his skin as he whirled around to face Max who had obviously just arrived. Offering the blond a quick grin he waved a hand airily in Tyson and Kai's general direction.
"Well, I think Tyson's going to get even with Kai for all the times he threw water on him to get him out of bed." Rei replied. His amber eyes flickered back to the world champion and Max's eyes followed. Tyson was by now only ten feet away from the dual-haired blader.
He slowly cleared the rest of the distance between the two of them until he stood right next to Kai. Grinning Tyson overturned the bucket above Kai's head.
Now, Rei was expecting to see a torrent of water fall out of the bucket but that didn't turn out to be the case. Instead, thick red tomato sauce came dropping out and right on top of Kai's head.
The victim in question snapped his eyes open as he felt something cold and wet hit him. Crimson orbs narrowed as he jumped up clapping a hand to his hair only to withdraw it to see the tomato sauce. His gaze zeroed in on Tyson who was leaning against the tree laughing. It then turned to Max and Rei who were trying hard to look serious but failing miserably. Giving his hand a quick shake Kai swore at them before turning on his heel and storming back into their house. The way that door slammed one might have thought a bomb had gone off.
Shaking his head and trying to cover up his mirth Rei trotted over to Tyson. "Aw Tyson, you really shouldn't have done that. I mean, you knew he was just going to get angry."
"Hey man, don't get me wrong. I like Kai as much as the next person but he so had that coming. I mean c'mon, did he really think he could pour water on me every day and get away with it." Tyson said.
"He wouldn't have to if you didn't sleep like the dead." Came the cold reply. All heads turned to Tala who was glaring daggers at them. No one was quite sure why Kai had invited the former Demolition Boy to live with them but he had. The redhead was cold and nasty to all of them except Kai and on the odd occasion, Rei. He claimed he didn't have the patience to put up with Max's energy or Tyson's stupidity.
"Who asked you Tala? Just go back to ignoring us like you usually do." Tyson quipped. The rivalry between the two bladers could get downright nasty at times. Already in the short four months that Tala had been with them he and Tyson had gotten into a scuffle. A scuffle Tala claimed he would have eon if a certain neko-jinn hadn't pulled off some martial arts to get him off of Tyson. Yep, Rei could kick hard when he took a mind to.
"Don't worry I have every intention of doing so just thought I'd remind you that you're on dish duty tonight." Tala replied. They rotated chores around the house so that everyone got stuck with the not-so-fun jobs every now and then. Tyson was still trying to figure out which was funnier, Kai scrubbing out the toilet or Tala wearing a frilly apron while attempting to cook dinner.
Tyson probably would have fired back at Tala but a fat drop of water landed squarely on his nose. All four bladers looked up to see that large black clouds had gathered. One drop. Another. And another. The distant role of thunder was the last indication they needed that it was time to get in the house.
Rei, not being overly found of rain had dashed for the door then minute the first drop had hit Tyson. The others huddled around him as the rain started coming down harder.
"Kon, as stupid as this sounds we'd all like to get into the house before we've gone and drowned." Tala seethed. Oh, he didn't like the water. It was actually quite hard to convince him that he needed a shower at times.
"As much as I hate to admit it Tala is right, open the door!" Tyson yelled. Max just waited patiently, he actually enjoyed the rain.
"Um, guys, as much as I'd like to open the door there's just one problem." Rei muttered as he brushed wet locks of hair out of his face. Tala's eyes narrowed into little slits.
"That problem being?" He asked quietly.
"The doors locked." Rei muttered and then had to repeat it because no one heard the first time around.
"What do you mean the door's locked?!" Tyson demanded and reached past the Chinese blader to give the door handle a vicious shake…which resulted in nothing. "I can't believe that guy! He locked us out."
"Well I can't blame him for locking you out but me? I haven't even done anything to deserve being locked out." Tala grumbled and earned himself a glare from Tyson. Then the prerogative lightbulb went off over Talas head. "Kon, kick the door in." He ordered. Finally, an actual use for those skills of his.
"Unun I don't think so." Max said and pushed his way into the huddle. "We just replaced the old door. There's no way I'm going to let Rei put his foot through this new one." Max stated. It was hard to tell who was glaring hardest at the blond, Tala, Rei or Tyson. The half-american however just simply ignored the glares.
"Well we've got to get in somehow!" Tyson yelled. By now he had been thoroughly soaked and his mood wasn't going to be improving as long as he was out here.
"Maybe if we tried asking Kai to let us in?" Max suggested. This earned him three 'yeah right' stares. "It's worth a shot isn't it? What do we have to lose?" Taking a deep breath Rei pounded on the door with a fist.
"Hey, do you mind letting us in? It's kind of wet out here…" He yelled. Receiving no reply he gave the door a death look before throwing back his head and yelling. "Kai, you let us in now!"
"No!" Came the cool response from the other side of the door. The dry side of it. Growling menacingly Tala slammed his fist on the door.
"Kai Soltez Hiwatari, you open the door. Now…" Tala's words came out as a hiss and Tyson's eye twitched at the use of Kai's middle name. It was very possible that Kai might open the door just so he could strangle Tala.
"You can all stay out in the elements until I get an apology from Tyson." Kai yelled back. There was a slight edge to his voice though and that meant that he hadn't missed the use of his middle name.
Everyone heaved a sigh, getting an apology from Tyson would be harder then trying to convince Kai that he looked good in pink.
"Aw c'mon Kai, I was just joking. Open the door. We live here to ya know!" Tyson said. No answer from the other side. Everyone glared at the ground as they tried to think of a way to convince Kai to let them in.
SR: Booya! First chapter done. It's crap but whatever. Review and I'll add the next page tomorrow or the day after that depending on how long my martial arts test is going to take. Much love. Remember…Brooklyn!
