Chapter 12 -When Strangers Reveal Friends
"Aw come ooooon we've been looking for hours, look, the girl can look after herself man!"
From the general direction of the forest the Bladebreaker's were camping at, four very irritated guys were trudging through the now water saturated and sometimes slodgy grass. Not moments ago they had been drenched with rain, hiking through rocks close to their cabin and climbing trees. No doubt they enjoyed their morning walk… and no sarcasm was in that whatsoever…..
"Heck there's no way to tell with this kid, she climbs, swims, jumps, crawls, wades, screams, laughs…" cried a harassed voice.
"Will you PLEASE SHUT IT!"
"Oh who made you boss, I mean, juuuuust because your what? The team leader, doesn't mean you can…"
"Alright big nose that's IT! You lead the way!"
"BIG NOSE?! My nose is f-"
"Yeah riiiight, you know here's an idea, how 'bout you use it as a locator! Lanea's probably stuck in there we should get her out…"
"YOU B&o(!!"
The steadily increasing bickering only seemed to heighten a certain person who already had a violent temper,
"THAT'S IT! SHUT IT RED! SHUT IT SHORTY! I'M LEADING THE WAY!!"
Only silence came from the tall blonde who merely looked on with a pained expression.
'I'm surrounded by imbeciles…'
Back with the stoic captain of the Bladebreakers, Rei, and their new mysterious friend or foe the three-
"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAA!"
Froze.
At the sound of an immensly infuriated other person who seemed to know Lanea.
Startled, Lanea whirled round, her long silken hair hitting Rei in the face.
"Ow…"
"Wait, so it's lay-nea?" Kai abruptly mentioned. Arms crossed and crimson eyes squinting as if analysing her every move.
With a reluctant turning of her head said person nodded.
After this only an awkward silence followed. Unsettled by this lack of surprise by Kai and also not understanding anything Rei finally let out the question he'd been dying to ask ever since she got here.
"Kai do you know her?!" Rei burst out.
"What? No!" both exclaimed. They looked at each other, gave each other a stare as if thinking about something they had forgotten a long time ago…
"So.. it's not lah-nia..?" Kai pressed.
"No, I'm pretty sure my name was Lay-nea."
"It's just you remind me of LAH-NIA…like Narnia"
"But I like LAY-NIA now"
"My god! It is you…"
And immense silence filled with no sound, yet also thick and heavy with the tension, regret and heartbreak that Kai had felt all those years ago, when he believed his baby sister to be gone from him forever. Yet, within that cloud of sadness was relief and the longing to have another chance to make it up and be the protection he always was suppose to be. Finally, he had family again.
By this time Rei's head was mimicking some sort of cross between a tocking clock bell and a fish. Left to Kai, right to Lanea, Rei was trying to make sense of what was happening here; who was this? It didn't make any sense, Kai was, well he was only nice when he was teaching beylade, though not to his own team.
So… his girlfriend? Who? Maybe a long lost friend, or some beyblade competitor that he liked liked, hmm, does Kai even like girls? She's a bit young…He doesn't seem to like anyone… well, he's okay with me, okay Rei, your rambling, the main question is that I don't know who she is, and Kai does.
What to do, what to do……
The gaze, or more like concentrated stare seemed unpenetrable…it was kind of spooky…
Aw forget it I'll just ask him!
"Ka-"
"WHERE IN THE DAMNED HELL ARE YOU GIRL?!"
Upon hearing this Lanea span round in frustration and Kai just stared in incredulous shock, suddenly worried she'd run away and leave him again. They yelled simultaneously….
"LAHNIA!!"
"LAYNIA!!"
