Chris

I OWN NOTHING!

Chapter 1: The Note

Chris's POV

"Hey, Chris!" I turn at the sound of my name being called. Gingka runs up behind me and grabs my arm. He swings around in a circle, dragging me with him. After he's done, he starts bouncing up and down really fast.

"Gingka?" I barely get out before he starts rattling off stuff.

"CHRISWESHOULDTOTALLYBATTLERIGHTNOW…YEAHRIGHTNOW, THERE'SNOBETTERTIMEORPLACE...WE'REBOTHREADYRIGHTNOW…LET'SGOTOTHESTADIUM! WHOO!"

Gingka then takes off running and Madoka follows him.

"GINGKA!" Kenta comes out next and I manage to stop him to ask what's going on.

"He and Yu had a candy eating contest…now both of them are hyped up on sugar." He runs on to try to catch the hyper-speed Gingka as he bounces around. I chuckle a little before walking inside.

"Chris?" My eyes widen as I see him standing there.

"Bobby?" I walk towards my old friend and shake his outstretched hand.

"Hey, man…it's been awhile. Sorry about what happened…"

"Ah, don't worry about it. It's in the past." I wave my hand before putting it on my hip. "So what are you doing here in Japan?"

"Ah…I came to deliver a note to you."

"For me?"

"Yeah…it's from your dad?" Anger builds tension in my throat and chest but I clear my throat, getting it under control.

"My dad…what's he want?"

"I don't know…he just asked me to track you down and give you this note. Since you were in Japan for the tournament, I'm guessing, I figured I'd come anyway. Plus Plus." He laughs.

"Well…thanks."

"Quick question. Do you know where I can find one of the Legendary Bladers to battle with?"

"They aren't battling anyone right now cause we are having a meeting in a little bit…"

"You know what…I completely forgot you were a Legendary Blader." Bobby laughs and rubs the back of his head.

"Ha-ha, I think everyone does…" I close my eyes as I laugh so the hurt doesn't show. One of my best friends from my childhood forgot I was a Legendary Blader. "Well…thanks for giving me the note and stopping by."

"No problem…talk to you later…" He waves and walks away. I look down at the piece of paper in between my index fingers and thumbs. I rub my right thumb against the parchment and it feels soft like silk…nothing less should be expected from the Weinburg family.

"Hey, Chris…" Gingka walks back in. I brace myself for his hyper activities, but just earn a weird look from him. "Um…whatcha doin'?"

"You're not still hyped-up on sugar?" I open one of my closed eyes and raise an eyebrow.

"Ha-ha...no!" He rubs his neck as his cheeks turn slightly red. "Tsubasa had a sugar cure or something like that…apparently; Yu does this a lot at their place…" Madoka and Kenta walk in behind him.

"What's in your hand?" Kenta points to the paper.

"A note from home…" I sigh and look back down at this.

"REALLY?!" Gingka starts hopping around again. "Let's read it. PLEASE!"

"Gingka," Madoka intervenes before I can say anything. "It's probably something private."

"I don't know yet." I say. They look over at me with slightly confused expressions. "I haven't read it…I just got it."

"More of a reason to open it and read it out loud." Gingka grins. All of the sudden, Madoka's laptop starts going off.

"Hello?" She opens a video chat, regretting it seconds later.

"MADOKA!" Yu and Tithi scream. "WHERE ARE YOU?!" She shushes them immensely.

"SHH! What is it?"

"The meeting's about to start and you, Gingka, Kenta, and Chris aren't here yet!" Tithi says quickly.

"Ah…we'll be up in a second." Gingka takes the laptop and grins largely at them. He then hits a button on the screen.

"Wait…Gingk…" Yu's words are cut off. Gingka hands the laptop back off to Madoka.

"Let's go so we're not late." I jab a thumb at the stairways.

(Twenty some minutes later)

"Oh…since we're done talking about the upcoming tournament and all that…Chris…did you read your letter yet?" Gingka bounces in his chair a little.

"What letter?" Bao asks.

"I got a letter from home today…" I pull out the paper and hold it up between two fingers. "And no, I haven't read it yet."

"Will you read it out loud?" Tithi asks innocently.

"Tithi…"

"No…it's fine…just…give me a second." I open the paper and run my fingers over the ink.

Dear Christopher Maddox Weinburg,

This is a letter requesting your return to the Weinburg household. There is some business that needs discussing with your presence needed.

Thank you,

Richard and DeeAnna Weinburg.

"What's that about?" Aguma comments.

"I don't know…"

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed this story and I'm sorry it's up so late (9:15 my time).

So, I know this chapter was so great but it will get better.

I checked and Chris doesn't have a last name so I gave him one…and a middle name…and gave his parents' names. =P

So…yeah…this story should be updated on Mondays and I hope you continue to read it. Thanks for reading and Review please….TTYL…
