Hello people, sorry for the kinda late update. (I think --;) Anywho, school's a drag, I'm getting a cold, and I need more reviews. Oh well, what else is new. Thanks to those who reviewed and to those who are going to review. (Hopefully everyone ;) ) Now onto the Ficcy!!
I don't own anything but Angel, Koji, the plot, and whatever else I come up with.
Chapter 3
Angel smirked as she watched surprise and shock filter across the faces of her 'guests'. It was amusing to say the least.
"Wolf."
The one known as Kai barely breathed loud enough for the rest of his team to hear.
"Wolf? You mean she's Wolf?! But she's a girl!!" Tyson shouted in disbelief.
The smirk turned into a wolfish grin as Angel listen to the boy rant and rave.
"Hate to disappoint you but I am the one and only 'Wolf'." She gave a mocking bow before surveying the rest of the group. Quickly noting that Kai had schooled his features to a expressionless look, Angel decided to taunt the boys.
"And I have to say that you boys are the most pathetic bunch of losers I have ever seen in my entire life." The fact that most of them bristled pleased her.
Growling, Tyson pointed an accusing finger at her, "Why you!! You're one to talk, you look like you couldn't even beat kid in a pillow fight let alone at beyblade."
Angel blinked at the pillow fight reference before looking at Oliver with a 'what the heck is he talking about' look. Chuckling slightly, the French boy pointed at Angel's top.
Angel looked down at her silver tank top that went with her black pajama pants. They had silver crescent moons on them. She was barefoot like her brother and, after running a hand through her untamable silver locks, found that her hair needed a decent brushing. To put it short, Angel looked as if she just dragged herself out of bed.
Angel shrugged, "Still doesn't account for the fact that you guys wouldn't last five seconds against me let alone the world champions."
Now they really looked offended. Smirking, Angel noted that they were restraining themselves from whipping out their blades.
Except for Tyson. He actually had the guts to stomp up the girl and shoving his beyblade into her face. Angel blinked as she moved her head back slightly so she could get a good look at his Dragoon. The blue dragon seemed to be glaring at her with as much fury as his owner.
"Why don't you put your beyblade where you mouth is?" Tyson demanded harshly. There was no way he was going to let some girl call him a loser after all he had been through.
Angel snapped her gaze to him and actually looked at the boy for the first time. An unmistakable fire burned in Tyson's eye. Looking at his teammates, she saw that the same fire burned in their eyes as well. It was the fire of determination. It told her that they were willing to do anything to prove her wrong, to make her eat her words.
Another grin spread onto Angel's features but this looked more devious then her last one.
Tyson blinked as the wolfess' pupils dilated to pinpoints and an animalistic gleam crept into them. This was totally different from the uninterested look that had dominated her gaze just moments before.
"So, you want to prove that I'm wrong? That you're not some worthless piece of crap Mr. Dickenson placed his hopes in?"
Tyson nodded, "Yeah that's right. I'm going to make sure you regret ever bad mouthing me or my friends. Right guys?"
Each of the Bladebreakers nodded in turn as Angel's gaze went from one to another. The fire never flickered or died.
Her gaze fell back on the dragon, only this time her eyes were half-lidded as if she was considering something.
Silence filled the room before Angel spoke, "You're willing to do anything to prove me wrong? Even going as far as to put your bodies or lives on the line?"
"What's the point of blading if we don't?" Surprisingly it was Kai answered the question.
"Yeah, if our bitbeast put their bodies on the line in a battle why should we do anything less?" Ray spoke with confidence while Max nodded in agreement.
A smile tugged at Angel's lips. To say that she was impressed was an understatement. Most people when faced with a question like that would back down. Or give a wrong answer.
"Congratulations, you chumps just passed your first test."
This caused most of the Bladebreakers to blink in confusion.
"Test?" Max questioned hesitantly.
An almost evil grin spread across Angel's lips, "Yes, that was a test and you passed. Please don't ask what would happen if you hadn't, you don't want to know. Anyway, there will be plenty of test in this month considering the fact that I'm cramming a six month training session into it. I won't go into detail on what all we'll be doing but I can tell you it won't be a walk in the park. Whatever training you've had up till now will seem like child's play when I'm done with you."
The wolfess almost laughed when she saw the looks of fear cross the Bladebreakers faces. All except for Kai of course. He seemed to be annoyed by something. Angel sighed quietly before deciding to tell them the last bit of news.
"Kai," The crimson eyed teen turned his attention to her, "I have most of the basic training setup and after doing some mock battles to spot weaknesses, I'll setup the in depth training."
The boy blinked slowly as he took in the information. "Why are you telling me this?" The question was almost incredulous.
Angel twitched slightly, "Because you're the captain and I make sure you're okay with the training I'm going to put your team through." Turning her head to the side, she refused to look at anyone as she grumbled, "Plus it's sort of required of me now."
This made everyone except Koji to blink.
"What are you talking about Wolfie?" Enrique spoke up for the first time since the conversation began.
The girl only continued to grumble incoherently. She was still refusing to look anyone in the eye.
Her brother on the other hand was trying to contain his amusement of the situation. Ever since Mr. Dickenson had roped her into this, Angel had refused to speak of the matter. Until now that is.
Seeing her brother's humorous look, Angel growled, "Since you seem real happy about all this, why don't you tell him?"
Koji just flashed his sister a charming smile before turning to Kai, "As you know, Angel was convinced by Mr. Dickenson to train you and your team for the World Championship. What you don't know is that the chairman had sign a contract that stated that she not only train with you but also provide as much assistants as you deem necessary, Kai."
The group stared at the brunette in silence while they tried to figure out what he just said. Of course, being the smarter ones, Kai, Kenny, Ray, and Oliver figured it out first. Thus causing several different reactions.
"You poor thing." Oliver muttered apologetically to the girl as she plopped down in the chair beside her brother to brood silently.
"That's… ingenious." Kenny muttered awestruck by Mr. Dickenson's wit.
"Cool." Ray grinned.
Kai only frowned. He had enough problems dealing with Tyson and his almost constant whining but now he had some girl on his team. Course, even he had to admit (silently) that she was of some use. After all, the Europeans and Mr. Dickenson seemed to respect her. Plus, she wasn't trying to undermine his authority.
The last three not so smart people finally snapped.
"Hey guys what's the big secret?" Max whined slightly.
Angel scoffed, "Maybe you should explain it for the dimwits, Koji." She motioned toward Tyson and Enrique. Those two seemed to be able to under her skin quite easily. Though, for some reason she found herself taking a liking to little Max. Maybe it was the cute puppy dog look that made Enrique's look like a mutated frog.
Ignoring the indigent 'Hey', Koji summarized, "Upon signing the contract, Angel became an official member of the Bladebreakers."
Silence.
Angel rolled her eyes before mentally counting, "3, 2, 1..."
"WHAT!!"
Déjà vu anyone?
"Yeah, yeah. Surprise, surprise. Now why don't you two freeloaders go and make yourselves useful by showing my 'teammates' their rooms. And before you ask, it's the second floor west wing." Angel motioned out the door that lead to the foyer.
"Okay. Come on, guys." Oliver smiled before dragging a still stunned Enrique out the room.
Ray looked at Angel and said, "It was nice meeting you." Then he and Kenny procecded to follow the French boy's example by dragging Tyson and Max out.
Now there only three people left in the room.
Kai stood there gazing at the girl as she sat kind of slouched in her chair. Feeling his eyes on her, Angel looked up at her 'captain' and answered his unasked question.
"Training begins in two hours. Make sure their ready."
The phoenix nodded curtly before following after his teammates.
As soon as the door swung shut behind him, Angel sighed heavily and laid her head table like she was going to sleep.
Koji chuckled, earning himself a one-eyed glare. Course he was already used to his sister's slight temper.
"I think that went well." Koji said quietly as he began to run his fingers through Angel's wild hair. Slowly, he could feel the tension ease from her body as the soothing motions continued.
Turning her head to where she could look at him and to where his fingers could reach a particular spot, Angel spoke just as quietly as her brother, "Half of them hate my guts now."
"Nonsense."
"It's true. I don't see why the old man wants me to do this." She spoke with a somber tone. Like one who had expericanced a lot of hardships.
A gentle smile crept onto Koji's lips, "Maybe, he just wants you to show those boys something they've never seen before."
"And maybe they'll show you something in return."
Whew! That took a while. Hehe, I kept on getting stuck.
Kai: When are going to train?
-waves dismissively- No worries Kai we'll get to that soon enough. As long as the lovely readers review of course.
Kai: Hn. Review and I won't hunt you down.
O.O Kai!! Don't scare the readers!
Kai: -rolls eyes-
Anyway, please review and tell what you liked. If you do I might fill you in on some of the ideas I have planned for the Bladebreakers tortu-... umm, I mean training. Yeah, that's right training. Hehe.
Kai: O.O -small voice- Help me.
