"Are you ok, Bit?" Leena asked worriedly, a little frown clouding over her usually cheerful face. As she dabbed stingy liquid on the spot where Riri's organoid had smacked him, Bit winced. He was still thinking about what had happened during that battle. And Jamie hadn't even said anything. but then again, Jamie was usually quiet, so, yeah.
"I'm ok, Leena," he said, and smiled at her.
"You sure, Bit?" Leena asked again, and tapped the bottle of alcohol against her chin. "What was up with that girl, though? She's like our age, but she seems so mean. what was her name again?"
"Riri Chan," Bit said softly, as Brad and Doc walked in the strategic room, discussing about the ruined Zoid.
"Doc, we can't afford to forfeit the battle; it's with Harry, after all!" Brad said, and slipped in the 20 times more money thing.
"Of course, you're right, Brad, we'll just have to send J." Doc stopped, as they both looked curiously at the couple.
"We interfering with anything?" Brad asked gruffly, uncomfortable that they had walked in.
"Huh? No, not at all." Leena remarked, and got up, the purple things in her hair bobbing. Brushing the crinkles in her skirt out, she left the room, leaving both Doc and Brad with Bit.
"Something happened between you two?" Doc asked.
"No~ Leena was just cleaning up my wounds," Bit said, pointing to the large bruised bump on his cheek. "Does Jamie have any information on our opponent today? I was thinking about a rematch after Harry's battle."
"Yeah, I think he does~ he's in the control room, studying the battle over and over again. He says that he has never seen battle tactics like that before, but I just think that out opponent is barbaric."
"Yeah, but she's good," Brad said, and they all knew he was thinking about the battle in the Wolves. Barbaric or not, Riri WAS good. There was no denying it. It was right in their faces, anyways.
"Ok, thanks for telling me," Bit said, as he got up and when to see Jamie.
~*~* At Riri's place *~*~
"Ugh!" Riri shouted, as she fell down on the mat. She was practicing fighting with Epps, who was her teacher. She got up again, and brushed the sweat from her forehead. Raising her fists again, Riri continued, kicking, punching, and heat-butting her opponent. They would come in handy one of these days, she thought to herself, and Epps smacked her hand, causing Riri's hand to be cut deeply and bleed profusely. Epps was the toughest fighter Riri had ever seen, and all her previous tutors were not as violent. Riri scowled at the cut in her hand, and ripped a piece of her t- shirt off. Grimacing, she took the piece and wrapped it hard around her hand, ignoring the pain and tightening the knot. When it was done, Riri smirked. Pain. There was only one boy who had broken her heart before, and every time she felt pain, she felt him. There was only one time that her heart was broken like that, and Riri would not let anyone else do that to her. Ever again. Riri sat down on a chair, reminiscing the battle today. She considered the battle thoughtfully. What was the name of the blonde- hair boy? Ah, yes, Bit Cloud. Riri tapped a claw on her cheek, wondering where she heard the name before. Mumbling to herself, she got up, and shuffled through the newspapers. There, on the headline, read, 'Bit and his Liger make it to the top! The details of the battle, page 12'
"Bit," Riri said, trying out the name on her tongue. "Bit Cloud." Maybe the girl was dumb and a poor pilot, but Bit Cloud would not. Riri put his name in the back of her mind and went back to fighting her organoid.
"Are you ok, Bit?" Leena asked worriedly, a little frown clouding over her usually cheerful face. As she dabbed stingy liquid on the spot where Riri's organoid had smacked him, Bit winced.
