Typical.
How typical, Tyson nearly strangled Kenny for more food, Max bouncing off the walls after a good meal of sugar cookies and.well, just sugar. And Ray, standing in the corner, trying to look pretty again, loosers, typical loosers.
Kai stepped down the stairs into the cargo hold of the ship, and closed the door carefully behind him. Quiet at last, now for some actual training.
Launching Dranzer, he watched critically as the blue beyblade circled the crates and sliced through the rope nets. Good, but still not perfect. Kai called his beyblade back, and fitted it back into the launcher.
'You should try launching it at an angle, it might help the velocity.'
Kai snapped his head toward the voice. It was a girl, in a loose navy long sleeved shirt and long black pants. She was sitting on a crate with her back against another, and her dark eyes fixed in a book.
'I control my own blade.' Kai replied coldly. Who did she think she was?
'Just trying to help, you don't have to be such a bitch about it.' The girl said, never taking her eyes from her book, and blew a lock of black hair off of her face.
Kai studied the girl, not a hint of anger or anything in her voice, and the fact that she has not even looked at him yet amused him. When had she gotten in? He never heard her, maybe she was here before him, but he hadn't noticed her there, of course her dark cloth and hair also helped her disappearance.
'Help? Thanks but no thanks.' Kai retorted, and turned back to his training. He wasn't about to leave just because some girl was there, at least she's quieter than his so-called team.
She shrugged, and went back to her book without a word.
'Where's Kai? He's going to miss out on my perfectly planned training?!?' Kenny exclaimed, his glasses slipped, and he shoved them roughly back up the bridge of his nose. 'Where is he?'
'By the pool?' Max shrugged, still standing in his swimming trunks with his blonde hair soaking wet. 'lotsa girls there?' He smiled wide, Ray snarled silently.
'Kai and girls? Yah, fat chance.' Tyson snorted and stuffed his face with some food from the buffet.
'Speaking of fat.' Ray sneered and turned his amber eyes on Tyson, who flushed red.
'Stop it! Just cut it out!' Kenny squeaked and jumped into the middle of the argument, clutching Dizzy, 'he might come later, now, here what you guys do.'
'Come back later.hah.and you can eat my hard drive.' Dizzy muttered.
'Don't you have anything better to do?' Kai demanded, it's been what, three hours? And dark outside, the girl was still sitting on the crate, silent as a statue save the flipping of the pages. He didn't mind the silence, it's just that sometimes he would take a glance sideways and find her watching him train. On those occasions she never met his glare, but just sort of followed his beyblade.
'Actually,' the girl said, 'I'm waiting for someone, a friend, she's late.'
'It's dark, I don't think this "friend" is going to show up.'
For the first time she looked at him straight in the eye, she blinked her black eyes.
'You know what, I don't think so either.' She flashed him a sardonic smiled, closed her booked and slipped off the crate.
Kai stood, waiting for the joyous moment when she would be out of the door, and then, maybe he could have five minutes of concentration before he had to head back himself.
She walks about five steps, stops, and looks like she forgot something, and then she turned to him, and smiled with the same irony.
'I'm Allegra.'
'Kai.'
He turns his back on her, and continued to train as he listened to her going up the stairs to the main deck. Before she left he caught a glimpse of the title of her book:
