Chapter 4: An Understanding Phone Call
"Hey Kai wait up!" shouted the trailing members of the group.
The falling snow was starting to blow harshly as the wind started to pick up. Many people were rushing to get inside. Finally the three boys caught up with their captain.
"Hey Kai" said an out of breath Tyson. "What did Mr. Dickinson want?"
"Here." he said shoving three envelopes into Tyson's hands. "They're your schedules."
"Oh cool." exclaimed Tyson. "I want to see what classes we all have together." Giving the other two envelopes to Ray and Max, he tore the top off of the one that had Tyson Granger printed on the front. Before opening his, Ray gave Kai a sideways glance. Making sure the other two didn't here, Ray questioned Kai. "You were in there longer then it would have taken to just pick up some schedules."
"Your point?" asked Kai.
"Well you seem more on edge now. So what exactly did Mr. Dickinson want?"
Turning towards Ray, he replied in a monotone. "I believe that if you were meant to have known, then you would have been present in the room. But seeing as you weren't, I guess it was none of your business." With that said he walked ahead of Ray.
"I don't know what you're about Kai." thought Ray. "But I'm determined to find out." Then, Tyson interrupted Ray's thoughts.
"Hey Ray, what classes do you have?"
(Later)
After finding out who had classes with whom, the Bladebreakers went to their hotel and started packing. After about an hour, (and trying to calm a sugar-high Max down. Apparently he had found the chocolate stash Tyson had in his suitcase.) The Bladebreakers had called Mrs. Tate to come pick them up. Now riding in the backseat of her car, the Bladebreakers were chatting away happily.
"I can't wait to see my dad again. Will he be at the house when we get there?"
"Actually Tyson, your dad hasn't arrived yet. He should arrive within the next few days."
"Oh."
"I'm excited about seeing the All-Starz. We haven't seen another team since the last tournament." said a semi-hyper Max. At this statement, Kai inwardly cringed. Of all the teams staying with them, why did it have to be the All-Starz? It wasn't that he didn't like the All-Starz, but they hated him. Ever since the first Championship in Moscow, they had never forgiven him for betraying his team. And now at the last tournament, when he joined BEGA he new that that resentment for him grew. The thing that bothered him though, was that the only reason he joined BEGA was to find out what Boris was up to. Everyone thought that it was just so he could battle Tyson. Yeah right. If he wanted to have a battle with Tyson, he could have just asked. But still, the All-Starz think of him as heartless, and Kai thought that they had every right to. He had never showed them otherwise. But still, he wished that they new how much the things that they said behind his back, the things they didn't think he heard, he wanted them to know how much those things hurt him. He'd never show it though. He would just act like it didn't bother him and pretend to brush it off. But now that they would be living with him, he wondered how much longer he would be able to keep that up.
After about a fifteen minute car ride across town, the Bladebreakers arrived at their new house. It looked more like a two level apartment though. The outside was painted a soft yellow and a pathway from the street led to the door.
"Well boys welcome to your new home. You can go inside and pick out which room you want. The All-Starz are out right now, so just make sure you don't take one of their rooms." explained Judy. With that each of the boys entered the house with Max and Tyson running ahead to make sure they got the room they wanted.
Once inside, the building, the Bladebreakers realized that it was bigger than they thought. As soon as you walked inside there was a staircase that led upstairs to where all the bedrooms were. If you passed up the staircase, you would end up in a kitchen with a huge, oak, dinner table. There was also a library, a bathroom, and a living room on the first floor. Outside there was a patio and an enormous backyard with three Beyblade dishes. The backyard then led into what looked like a forest.
"Whoa!" said a stunned Tyson. Then, taking advantage of Tyson's staring; Max took a head start up the stairs and shouted. "Looks like I get first pick of the rooms Tyson." (I guess the kid's still sugar-high.)
Walking up the stairs Kai realized that he was impressed with the house. It seemed pretty big and he took special notice of some places he could sneak off to when he wanted to be alone. Entering the hall upstairs, he saw that was there an open door that led to another hall of about six rooms. Deciding to stay near his team, he walked down the first hall and chose the fourth door on the left. His room was next to Ray's, and across from Tyson's. Two doors down there was another bathroom.
Entering the room that he had chosen Kai examined his surroundings. It was an average size room with a double bed in the far right corner. Below the foot of the bed there was a decent sized closet. On the left there were two dressers. And on the far wall there was a desk with a chair. Right above the desk there was a window with a maple tree outside it. Walking towards his bed, he dropped his duffel bag on the floor and dropped onto his bed. Thinking about all that had happened today he sighed. After a minute of just laying there, he took out his black cell phone and decided to call Tala.
Ever since Tala had awoken from a coma, he and Kai had kept in contact with each other, secretly making sure the other was staying out of trouble. Everyone thought that they both hated each other, but in truth they were good friends. In fact Kai was good friends with all the Blitzkrieg Boys. Kai trusted Tala more then anyone else though. After BEGA and losing Dranzer, he didn't know what he would do without Tala's support.
After the third ring on the phone, someone finally picked up.
"Hello" said a slightly accented voice.
"Hey Red." answered Kai.
"Well, you finally decided to call. And here I thought you tripped on the plane, knocked the pilot unconscious and went spiraling to your death in the Pacific Ocean." Smirking at his friend's bizarre imagination. Deciding to go along he answered in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh so you did hear. But that was Tyson who tripped, and luckily the rescue crew saved us in time."
"Sorry, next time I'll get my facts right." Tala replied barely suppressing a laugh.
They did this often. Having just stupid conversations trying to out wit the other. It was one of the only times Kai could just relax and be himself.
"So" said Kai who was composing himself again. "How are the others?"
The Blitzkrieg Boys were now all living in Russia and were sharing a small house courtesy of Mr. Dickinson.
"Well, Bryan and Ian are in a row right now about whose turn it was to clean the dishes. You should have seen it. Bryan resorted to calling Wyborg a worm which led to Ian biting him. It was pure comedy. Now Spencer's busy hiding the knives from Bryan who's threatening to kill Ian."
"So it was just another regular day at the Blitzkrieg house." said Kai picturing the whole thing in his head.
"Pretty much. I swear one day I'm going to come home and find Ian in a body bag because he pushed Bryan too far. So, what's happening over in New York?" asked Tala
"Well it looks like I'm going to be over here longer then I thought. Mr. Dickinson got this bright idea that we all should think about are future and decided he's going to send us all to high school. Now we're all living with Max's mom and the All-Starz in this apartment/house thing." said Kai summing up his whole day within three sentences.
"Hold up. You're telling me that you're going to attend a high school. Um… why exactly? I mean you're already advanced so why go back to school?"
"Mr. Dickinson doesn't think that the abbey can be considered a school. Basically he thinks that I never learned anything except beyblading there." At this Tala inwardly cringed. Tala tried as best as possible not to mention the abbey around Kai. He knew everyone wasn't exactly treated well there, but he also knew that being Voltaire's grandson Kai was treated the worst out of everyone. He was pretty susceptible to the subject to say the least. Tala also knew how the All-Starz treated Kai. They treated his team the same way.
"Well, just prove the old geezer wrong. And as for the All-Starz, don't let those prats get to you."
"Your right Red." started Kai but then he was interrupted by a voice coming from his door.
"Hey Kai are you done unpacking yet? Judy has dinner ready so hurry up." Then the sound of scurrying feet were heard. Sighing Kai got back to Tala.
"I have to go Tala. I'll talk to you later okay?"
"Yeah well just don't go spiraling into any oceans this time." answered Tala with humor back in his voice.
"Sure thing." said Kai shaking his head. And with that he hung up. Laughing silently to himself he started walking downstairs. Just before he reached the kitchen however, he was brought out of his stress-free moment by the voice of a certain red headed scientist. (1.)
"Where is the traitor anyway?" becoming sullen he thought "and so it begins."
1. That was Emily from the All-Starz if you didn't figure it out.
