Akito: SKYE! *Glomp*
Skye: Hey Akito... Agito gave up on resisting huh?
Akito: Yup! "I don't wanna suffer anymore, take over" was what he said
Skye: *lol* well anyway, I don't own Air Gear or the Cascada song (Can't stop the Rain) Hope you like it!
Previously:
The entire of Kogarasumaru, including their newest recruit were grinning, eager for their battle against the strong and gigantic team. They had ruined Agito's plan for Behemoth to challenge them.
Agito's eye was twitching, My plan was perfect. But there was one thing I overlooked, one thing factor I failed to calculate… He's a dumbass. And there's no accounting for dumbass…ness.
The Cyclops hammer was provoked and started yelling threats towards Ikki. The said person and Kazu joked around.
On the other hand, Oki was glaring her death glare, the one that drew a person deep into her deep, ocean-like eyes and the victim somehow gets drowned, at the other girl present, she seemed to be younger. She was around her height and looked around Oki's age. She had light-brown hair that reached up to her mid-back and emerald green eyes. Hanako… I can't wait to battle you. You took her away from me… you won't get away with it bitch!
Training time in school:
"Sorry!" A short blue-haired girl burst through the doors into the classroom where few other teens were gathered. "I'm so so so so so so so so sorry."
Agito's eye twitched as he was cut off by Oki when he was explaining his elaborate explanation of the cube battle. "Shut it, bit-Oki, get a seat and listen."
(A/N: lol, this reminds me of the time me and my friend were trying to make this movie trailer for a French project, and I had to say that in French, I said "Je suis très très très très très très très très très… sorry" as I forgot the French term for sorry which was désolé.)
She took off her baby-frog backpack and walked over to Kazu's seat. The Shark glared at her as if saying "This is the first and last time you'll be late", and continued on with his speech.
"Hey," Kazu, a tall and lanky blonde, whispered, "Were you trainin' on your own?"
She gave a slight nod, which wasn't missed by her older friend. Their education about the upcoming battle lasted for another half an hour before they broke off to get a break. The other girls that supported the team had made excellent delicacies for them.
As they sat down to eat, Ikki approached Oki, asking her why she was late.
"Gomen nassai, Ikki. I got caught up in my homework." The light-blue haired girl muttered nervously, scratching the back of her head.
Ikki hummed in thought, "Hmm…Just don't do it again." She gave a slight nod and they went back to more training and reviewing for the extremely important and decisive clash that was coming soon on the next full moon. (A/N: Hey that kinda rhymed ^.~)
Agito noticed Kazu lying on the ground looking at the stars, he decided to get more of his unanswered questions answered. "Hey, do you know anything else about her?" He pointed to Oki, "like about her ATs or something?"
Kazu turned his gaze to the shark-like, amber eye of Agito, "Um, other than the fact that she's on a higher level than us, no, not really."
So she didn't tell him about her road… hm... What's she trying to hide?
The next day was much different. It was raining hard, and the skies above looked extremely grey. The team decided to go home but catch up on the missed practice with extra hours tomorrow.
Ikki mused about in his room, trying to memorize the trick pass provided by Ringo. His 'sisters' were downstairs watching TV and playing video games. Rika was still out on her tour, but Ikki was kept in the dark about her actual career as a professional wrestler. The only people missing were the unrelated tenants.
In a forest on the outskirts of town (A/N: a line from Love Story by Taylor Swift XD The coming up song is Can't Stop the Rain by Cascada, I love the instrumental break ^.^):
Oki was riding up the wet tree bark of the tall Maples. Instead of her white wheels, she switched them with the Regalia core, the Black Mist of the Ocean Road. Since it had just stopped raining, it was the perfect weather for her to train. Jumping off the tree, by kicking against it, and then somersaulting in mid-air, Oki landed perfectly on her feet. Then, she pulled out a device from her pocket along with earphones. She plugged in her earphones into her ears and attached the audio jack into her blue iPod. Scrolling though the songs, she decided on one and pressed the play button.
How, how am I supposed to feel
When everything surrounding me
Is nothing but a fake disguise
The dark-blue-eyed girl moved along to the soft and gentle piano, practicing her close range kicks. Suddenly the naturally enclosed clearing fogged up. She moved stealthily in the mist, hiding herself in the low clouds.
I don't know,
I don't know where I belong
It's time for me to carry on
I'll say goodbye
She came out of the mist; pretending one of the trees was her opponent. Oki punched the Maple's trunk a few times, and then finished with an extremely fast round kick higher her head. She'd disappeared into the mist again.
I can't stop the rain from fallin'
I'm drownin in these tears I cry
Since you left without a warning
I face the dawn with sleepless eyes
No I can't go on
When clouds are pushin' down on me, boy
I can't stop, I can't stop the rain
From fallin'
The Mist Queen's speed increased to the more upbeat chorus line. She hit each tree in the natural forest fence so fast that only blurs of her figure were seen. As the chorus came to an end, Oki slowed down once more, it had started to rain again. She moved to the upbeat instrumental break. It was her favorite part. She jumped up into the air a few times, to every other beat. Instead of landing back down on her last one, she flipped to the side trying to jump off a tree to gain more altitude. The wet bark was still slippery, so she skidded and started to fall off about 30 feet above ground. Doing another flip, she managed to balance herself, and land properly. Again, the mist had enveloped her.
So, tell me where I went wrong
I'm stuck inside a dream long gone
It's hard to reveal the truth
Your love,
Is nothing but a bitter taste
It's better if I walk away,
Away from you
Once this verse had finished, her silhouette had appeared in the mist for the chorus, her lean legs had lifted up and kicked across, like kicking a soccer ball, unleashing small compressed water attacks, much like Agito's "fang" at each of the trees. They had cut though almost a fourth of the trunks and then splashed about, drenching the stumps underneath. The mist started to clear away for the next instrumental break.
I can't stop the rain from fallin'
I'm drownin' in these tears I cry
Since you left without a warning
I face the dawn with sleepless eyes
No I can't go on
When clouds are pushin' down on me, boy
I can't stop, I can't stop the rain
From fallin
Thinking that it was enough practice for now, Oki decided to enjoy the heavy rain, underneath the green canopy of the tiny clearing. She danced to the elaborate beat, not knowing she had an audience… well of one person. It happened to be a certain Shark that seemed to be lost in the grace of the Mist, as she danced to her favorite song. She jumped around in the puddles, adding to the upbeat instrumental break.
As the song came to an end, she started to slip due the wet grass. Unable to regain her balance, she fell on her behind, wincing in pain. Chuckles escaped her viewer, causing Oki's ears to perk up. Blood rushed to the girls face as she realized that someone was watching her, and saw her clumsiness.
"Who's there?" She demanded, blushing from her embarrassment.
Coming out from behind one of the trees, Agito kept chuckling, "So much for being the Mist Queen, more like the Queen of Clumsiness."
"Shut up, Agito. Why are you here? This is a closed off area."
"Who says so?" Agito asked, "You? Please, I couldn't give a fuck about what you say. Anyway, what are you doing here?"
"What do you think I'm doing?" The lighter-blue haired girl retorted.
Agito made a face as if he was trying to guess, "Um… Failing at Training?" He grinned his sadistic grin when the victim of his words had turned red again.
"Shut up, I need to get better…so I have a chance of beating that bitch. Oh, I forgot to thank you. I've been planning on battling Behemoth for a while too, so thank you for setting this match up."
"Hm?" He tried to not show his interest, but his voice had betrayed him, "What the fuck are you talking about?"
Oki sat down on one of the larger roots near one of the Maples. She motioned for him to sit beside her, but he just 'tsk'ed and leaned against the Maple closest to his female friend. He then asked her to continue.
"Well, I already know that you know a lot about me, considering you know that I'm the Mist Queen, and Kazu told you a bunch of stuff. There's more to add to my family's story. My mom didn't just die, she was murdered." Oki confessed gloomily. "We were going home from the Market, and outta no where these masked guys knock me out. When I woke up, I was in this warehouse that I didn't recognize.
"There was this young girl, with green hair that I didn't recognize and this other older man who was talking on the phone. 'Bring the research and come alone,' he said. I sorta recognized the voice and before I knew it, I was knocked out again by that girl.
"When I woke up again, I saw my mother at the door, and then she was pushed inside, while the door closed. The girl roughly pulled me up and pushed me towards the door. The man whose voice I recognized had a knife behind his back, he'd planned to murder my mother. I tried to scream for her to get away, but it was worthless 'cause I was gagged with this cloth.
"Then he took the suitcase my mom gave, and when she asked to let me go, he laughed and pulled off his mask. It was my father who killed her in the next minute, so he could have control over me. I couldn't let him, so I kicked the girl somehow and tried to attack him. My mom pleaded for me to get away. But I didn't until I severely injured them, so now I'm here. I was planning on how to get my revenge on that girl. My dad called that girl...Hanako and I heard that she was a part of Behemoth. Like you, I'm not powerful enough to take on all of them, so I guess I'm using Kogarasumaru in a way too. Please don't tell Kazu-kun about any of this."
Trying his best not to show it, Agito was offended that she didn't trust him, he refuted, "Fuck, why would I tell that wuss? Anyway, I'm sorry to hear what happened to your mother. Why didn't you report it?"
"Because no one would believe me. 'You're just a kid, why should we believe that Dr. Yamamoto, the amazing scientist, would murder his own wife?' They'd say. So I just didn't bother."
"You don't need to give a crap about that. If you need help, just ask us. Even though I hate to admit it, these guys in this team are pretty supportive. They'd fucking risk their lives to help you out." Agito stated in a matter-of-fact tone, and then added as an after thought, looking away from the girl, "Which I think is pretty stupid, hunting alone is better, no one can steal your prey that way."
Oki just giggled, and stood up. "Well, I'm gonna go back home, wanna come?"
"Sure" Agito muttered, following her suit.
As they were walking, Agito looked up, asking Oki, "Oki, why do you trust me so much?"
She shifted her gaze to him, and wondered. When she had the answer, she smiled and said, "I dunno, I just do."
He returned to looking at the road, thinking about her answer.
"Well, since the battle is inevitable, could you try not to get hurt?"
Agito glanced up again at his friend, surprised. She was blushing but she still smiled.
It was still raining, and only then did he notice Oki's apparel. She was clad in her dark blue skirt again, with the black knee length biker shorts underneath. The only thing different was her shirt, instead of the black tank top, she had a white T-shirt on.
Shit… since when was she…hot? He thought as his eyes traveled down from her face, to the blue tube-top-like bra that was seen through her transparent, wet shirt. Then, he realized that even she had… assets. They weren't as big as say that Swallow's or the freak in the mask, but they were there. Feeling heat rush to his face, he turned away, to avoid an awkward moment, realizing that he was blushing.
Of course this wasn't missed by the blue-haired girl. Wondering why he was blushing, she looked down at herself, noticing her shirt's current state. Oki slapped his cheek, with force that made him turn his face the other way, and then she yelled, "Pervert!"
She ran away, her arms covering her chest. Muttering profanities to himself, Agito put pressure on his wheels to propel him forward. When he caught up to her, he started to unzip his jacket and held it up for her to take. Oki was still blindly running, didn't notice him standing in front of her, and fell, taking him down as well.
"Calm the fuck down!" He ordered, annoyed at her over-reaction. He threw his strait-jacket at her, now only left in a blue "Jaws" T-shirt, and his beige pants.
She looked back and forth from the orange cloth held in her hand to his face, and smiled, accepting his offer and putting it on. Then she skated away to their host's house wanting to change out of her clothes quickly.
When she got the Noyamano's house, she walked in, tip-toeing so she didn't alert anyone of her presence. She almost made it to the stairs when Kazu popped his head out of the living room and noticed her.
"Oki, why in the world are you tip-toeing? And why are you wearing Agito's Bagworm-Jacket?" He questioned.
"Um... Gotta go!" She ran up the stairs, and locked the door to her room. She started to change, when she heard Ikki and Kazu pestering Agito.
Agito just walked in to the house and started to get his ATs off, when the older guys walked in to the hallway.
Kazu asked, "Agito, what happened to your Jacket?"
"Don't worry about it." He replied, still in his good mood.
"What, no clever comeback with the overuse of fuck?" Ikki smirked, "Oh, by the way, her white shirt's still wet."
The blue haired boy stiffened, in a quick second he round kicked him across the face. "Why the fuck do you care?" he demanded.
Kazu started to get angry, "Because, I told you, she's like my sister, and I can't have you messing around with her! And that too so close to the battle."
Calming down, Agito retorted, "Is that what you think happened?" He neared Kazu and jabbed him in the chest with his pointer finger, "Lemme tell you something, first of all I am not interested in her, and second of all, even if I was, you can't tell me what to do and what not to do. Fuck!"
With that he switched the eye patch, leaving Akito in his place, confused. "Don't worry, I'll make sure Agito doesn't hurt Oki-chan!~" He said, walking up the stairs to his room.
Kazu sat down next to Ikki.
"Holy shit, Agito's with a girl! I thought this day would never come!" Ikki exclaimed proudly, "I'm so proud of my little Sharky!"
He held his cheek in pain, as he was smacked again, but this time, by Kazu.
Oki walked over to her desk to finish her homework. She noticed a small note placed at the edge of the table. Picking it up, she read what was written on it.
Let's finish what we started. You and me, one on one, I'm in Cube 4.
