-Nicknames-

Everyone in the Bladebreakers household had a nickname. It was just common for them to throw around these terms, after all the time they spent together, from hotel to motels and country to continent. Some were, tasteful and others were blatantly uncouth.

There was Kyuoju, or rather, The Chief who seemed to prefer the latter. Besides, without him…they never would have made it as a unison team, or as single bladers. He always kept them organized and aided immensely in improving their spinning tops.

Then, there was Max whose nickname was as cute as his bubbly face and big aqua orbs. They all called him Maxie, even Kai, the odd time, added the two last vowels to the blondes name when he talked to him. Only then, did it scare him, for obvious reasons.

Kinomiya, Takao was dubbed with various names, some rude, actually, most were and others were…unflattering. Kai, again, often chose those words to sum up his vocabulary for the leading blader of things like; pig, swine, slob, ass…whereas, his companions stuck too Taka and sometimes added, their beloved Baka, since it sounded catchy.

Rei, the Chinese member had the easiest association due to his exotic and graceful features. Anything from cat and neko, all the way to kitty and kitten were used when they were looking for their furry, toothy friend, with his big ocher, feline like eyes.

Lastly, the infamous blader who needs not an introduction, for his last name alone struck sheer terror in the hearts of competitors; around the world was the cold and stoic captain, Kai. He was their hunk of ice and when they groveled, he was their fearless leader. Takao stuck to calling him mostly Sourpuss or a prick though. He said it was befitting.

Yet, one day…when Takao's dojo was plunged in an early morning silence, the grandchild of the property discovered just how right he was. He had every right to call Kai a Sourpuss, after the treatment he suffered; however, he doubted that that word would ever pass his lips again, after what he witnessed.

Sure, calling Kyuoju The Chief meant he took charge and Maxie represented how adorable the saccharine lover really was; even the Kitten term suited Rei perfectly but Sourpuss had never really meant anything, when he first spoke it in rage. He knew then, randomly walking by Kai's temporary room, that he would never utter it, anymore.

If Kai was a word, slang or not, in the dictionary, his description would definitely consist of the word sour, bitter, acidic and ever tart. But, the puss part never seemed to make any sense, to any of them really. In that moment, clarity struck Takao's brain as he stopped and peered into the ajar slit, of the sliding door.

Puss did not stand for something simple as, Kai liked Pussy and if Hiromi, their one person cheerleading squad ever heard him say that, she would smack him so hard upside the head for being perverted and disrespectful. In contrast, it meant he liked one specific pussy; a pussycat named Rei.

'Go figure' He mused, with a faint smirk and resumed his course to the bathroom.

And, of course, his nickname meant something as well because Takao had to admit, sometimes he did act stupid.

Since…the washroom happened to be the other way…
