Kerda: I'll only do the disclaimer today to make this dialogue quick so you can go on and read. Darina doesn't own BeyBlade, as you might have guessed.
Tyson: And thank you all reviewers for the encouraging reviews you gave. Enjoy now:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" I'm your sister, Korea Hiwatari," Korea said, trying to make Kai see the truth. Really…" For a moment time seemed to stand still as Kai's mind was trying to acknowledge the words coming from this stranger's mouth.
" Excuse me?" he finally asked with a meaningless expression on his face. Korea let out her held-in breath.
" You're my brother, Kai," she jumped off the couch and her eyes opened wider, trying to tell him it was all real. She made a step towards him and even dared to smile, only to find the same smug look pinned to his face.
" Is this what you called me down here for?" Kai asked, crossing his arms and doing his usual lean against the wall. You're after the money my grandfather owns, ne?" Korea was speechless, the smile quickly fading from her face, mouth forming an O in shock.
" But, I don't…" she began, but Kai cut her off.
" Don't you think I know your dirty little tricks," he asked, opening his eyes and shooting Korea a glare that hurt stung something inside her. You aren't the first one to try this, you know…"
~Korea's POV~
Wha…but…a…I stood right in front of him, unable to talk or move. But my mind was racing fast. What does he mean "trick". I'm his REAL sister, with his last name…
" No you're not, YOUR last name is Orean," something in the back of my consciousness told me. I frowned inside. Be quiet, you little annoying thingy. And Kai wasn't making it any easier…
" I've had about five kinds coming in, pretending they're my brothers or sisters or cousins or whatever before you," he yelled, finally making my close my mouth and listen silently. And they all turned out to be a bunch of street rats who just wanted a home!!!" So much for listening silently.
" But, Kai, I really am…" my brother interrupted me again.
" Wait, let me guess," he said smugly. I really am your lost sister and I've come to live with you and Grandfather. Been there, heard that. Why don't you come up with something better for a change, hmm?" I didn't reply, even though I had the chance to. I didn't know what to say. But I knew I had to do something before…
" Look, I have to go back to my studies, so if you don't mind, I'd like you and all the rest of your homeless rats to never come back again," Kai began walking up the stairs, not even glancing once at me while he talked. That was my que. Before I could stop myself, I ripped across the room and grabbed Kai's hand.
" Wha…" now Kai seemed to be too shocked to speak as he looked down at me with that surprise in his eyes. I gave him my best serious look, not waiting until he was back from his state.
" Kai, I am too your sister," I yelled, using this moment of silence to speak. Listen to me, I'm Korea Hiwatari and we're both demons and…"
" Kai?" footsteps came from above and the next thing I saw horrified me beyond belief as my eyes locked onto a figure up on the stairs. Only one whispery word escaped my mouth:
" Voltaire…"
The man with pale hair stepped down, his icy eyes staring at Kai and me.
" Kai, who is this girl?" he asked, keeping his voice calm and cool. Kai turned to look down at me like I was some kind of a disgusting thing found on a junkyard.
" Nobody, grandfather, I'm sorry for delaying the lesson," before I could do anything, Kai pushed me off him and I stumbled backwards, luckily not falling down the stairs. My hand grabbed the rails just in time.
" Get out of my house, whoever you are!" I heard Kai hiss with his back to me as I watched him and Voltaire go up the stairs into an open door. My 'grandfather' turned his face to me and gave me a smug smile, which made me nearly burst up with anger.
SLAAMMM! The door in which they entered closed and I was left alone on the stairs in the dead silence of the rain outside. The picture of Kai fell out of my hand as I fell to my knees on the stairs. No, no, no, this has to be a dream! But I knew it was time to face the reality… wishing this wasn't one. A little hope still burned within me, but it was probably going to be washed away if I meet somebody else I recognize. What can hurt you more that knowing that those who you care about see you as just another stranger?
I got on my feet, chocking on dry sobs, since I had no more tears left. Picking up the picture, I slowly looked over it. Now, the past with Kai seemed like a dream…
" Hey, aren't you staying for dinner?" as I walked to the door, putting on my sleeveless coat, I heard a cheerful voice come from behind me. I shock my head slightly, knowing who it was, and without turning around, said:
" No, Catsy," my voice sounded so small and broken. I can't stay. I'm not wanted here…"
Please, please
forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
With that, I opened the door, greeted by the now large rain that fell on the steps. My feet carried me through the yard, but my mind was almost empty. I had no friends…no caring family…and soon I would have no more hope left. I opened the gates and walked out, not bothering to close them lightly.
I circled the Main Avenue, stopping under a tree. The rain was only a drizzle there…
" Aaa-chooo!" I sneezed. Great! As if things weren't bad enough already, now I have a cold. Could everything possible get any worse?!
" Thanks again, Max," I heard yet another similar voice come from one of the shops and sighted. Looking up, I saw a boy with long raven hair carrying a bey blade, wearing a Chinese outfit, walking out of what looked like a Bey-Shop.
" Rei!" before I knew what I was doing, I called out the boy's name. He quickly turned around and I saw a pair of golden confused eyes looking widely at me. I smiled though the rain, a small sad smile as I walked over to him.
" Hello," Rei
said, now glaring curiously at me. Would he recognize me?
Maybe someday you'll
have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
" Hi, Rei," I replied without any cheer in my voice. I quickly got my answer when he asked:
" I'm sorry, do I know you?" I didn't flinch. The last of my burning hope went to the winds as I sighted again and shook my head "no". The last thing I needed was somebody getting angry with me again.
" Are you all right?" Rei asked, kneeling down in front of me. Even when he doesn't know me, he's still nice. At least that brought back some comfort.
" Yes, I'm fine, I just…" I stopped, then thought: I just realized that I saw you in a dream and that I never really had a brother or any friends. I just…heard about your team's victory at the Russian tournament and I wanted to…congratulate you." I finished, not hoping for any reply.
You won't cry for my
absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
" Oh, I see, thank you," Rei said, smiling warmly at me. For a moment the pain was forgotten and I felt some courage return to me, but that died also when Rei said:
" Thought, this isn't my team. I'm only a member, Kai Hiwatari's the leader." I started to reply, when I noticed something. Huh, what's that? My eyes opened wide as a white beam appeared out of nowhere behind Rei. It seemed like a ball of energy, only brighter. Rei, watch out!
Before I could warn him, the blast died out. Maybe it was just my imagination…
" I've been to Kai's house too," I said, turning around and starting to walk away.
" Where are you going? Why don't I help you home? Your parents will be worried that you're missing," Rei yelled after me. I stopped and turned around to him, new tears forming at my eyes. I guess all that rain brought some moisture back into me. He stared at me with surprise from seeing me cry.
Am I that
unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
" Yes, I'm missing," I said softly, feeling my feet ready to spring into a run. But…am I missed?" Before Rei could take a step towards me, I ripped through the park, running past the bench I was sitting on, past the tree I stood under, past the shop next to the park I went into.
" Wait!" Rei called me, but I didn't stop. If I did, it would only hurt more. All I wanted right now was to fall down and die! And never come back!
Isn't something
missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
My feet started to hurt from the run, but I didn't stop until I got to the alley where I circled around before to get to Kai's house. I sat down on an old carrying cage and began to cry in my hands…as much as I wanted to stop; the tears just kept coming, mixing with the rain. It felt like an hour passed, but I still sobbed on alone, until…
" Look who it is!" I let out a groan at the snobbish voice that entered my ears. I turned to see non other than Cedra in a purple raincoat and an umbrella standing over me. She sneered, while those stupid boys that keep following her like servants laughed dumbly.
" Leave me alone!" I yelled, not bothering to get up. If they wanted to kill me right here right now…let them. And Cerda seemed to want to do just that.
Even though I'd be
sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
" Ohh, aren't we a little testy?" she grabbed me and threw me against the wall while her gang laughed. I gritted my teeth, refusing to give them the pleasure of seeing AND hearing me cry out in pain, though I felt like I just broke a rib.
" And why are you crying, you little sissy?" Cerda pulled my up by the collar, but I just stood limp. Nothing mattered anymore…
" Hey, I asked you a question!" she said, getting angrier. Don't you know it's not…" WHAM "…polite to ignore people." I looked at her in shock as I put my hand to my burning-red check. You can guess what happened…
" Hey, it's none of your business!" I screamed in her face, strengths gripping me again. Before she could react, I wrestled out of her grip and jumped a few feet away, causing her to fall.
" Not bad, you're not as weak as I thought, shrimp," Cerda scowled. But you're still a brat. Acting like you can do whatever you want…" Her voice was curiously rich. Rich with…what?
Though I'd die to
know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
" You're really going to get it when you come back to school," Cerda continued, a smirk rising on her face. I heard that you teacher wants to suspend you permanently from school…" I didn't say anything. Nor did I care what my 'teacher' said or did.
" If you're going to ignore me, you know it's not going to end well for you, right?" she tapped her foot against the ground, but I remained silent. Fine, all the quicker for me, get her boys…" For the first time, I felt at least a BIT of something. Fear. I felt a little fear rise in me as the five large boys advance. It wasn't the knifes in their hands that scared me or the fact that they could kill me in one second with their size, but that now; I'll never get to know what's my place in the world.
Before the boys could attack, something unexpected happened:
" Leave her alone!" a strong and vaguely warm voice came from behind the advancing boys and every eye turned to face a figure coming up to Cerda. I instantly recognized them. It was the hooded woman from the taxi stop. But…what is she doing here? I thought she left already.
Please, please
forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
" Who are you?" Cerda asked, challenging the figure, as if hoping to make her angry. But the other remained cool.
" Leave the girl alone this instant, or else…" I noticed that flash of warning in the woman's voice. Whoever she was, she meant business! Cerda just let out a shrill laugh.
" Or else what?" she asked, clearly interested with the demand. The figure stepped up closer.
" Or else I'll…" she whispered something in Cerda's ear and the other turned away horrified.
" You…you wouldn't," she sputtered. I wondered what could horrify that girl so much.
" Watch me," was the hooded woman's reply. I heard Cerda scowl under her breath, but she finally gave in and motioned for her gang to follow. I stared after them as they circled around the corner, Cerda shooting a glare either to me or to the hooded woman. Then all became silent.
Shudder deep and cry
out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
" I see you took quiet a beating," the figure advanced on me, but stopped mid-way. Let me help you up." She reached one of her hands toward me and I noticed that her hand was a medium size, not exactly large enough to be an adult's hand, but not small enough to be a child's hand. Somewhere in between. Instead taking my hand, the seeming-teen figure pulled me up to my feet.
" Umm, thank…you," I said, staring right at the darkness under the hood. No reply came. Instead the figure opened up her suitcase and began taking something long and black out. A GUN!!!
I stared in horror and shut my eyes when I saw the black blade of it sticking out of the suitcase, waiting for a blow. It never came though.
Instead…
" Though…I do feel I should ask you why are you alone out in the rain right now?" the small drops soaking my hair stopped falling on my head and I opened my eyes, seeing an ENORMOUS purple and black umbrella above my head. Looking at the handle, I sighted, seeing as how it looked like the handle of a gun. I guess I accidentally thought she really did have a gun.
And if I bleed, I'll
bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
" I…uhh…got…" I didn't know what to answer. How should I explain that I don't even get who I AM, let alone WHERE I am?
" You got…lost?" there was a pinch of doubt in the stranger's voice. Or is it something else?" I sighted, seeing she didn't exactly believe me. But then again, at this point, I didn't believe myself.
" Actually, no," I shook my head, sighing, tired from figuring out my situation. My mother got mad at me, so she told me to get out of the house till morning." There was a moment of silence as the figure stood still, seemingly shocked by the explanation. But she seemed to understand, since she knobbed.
" Want to get something hot to drink?" she asked. It's awfully cold out here, wouldn't you agree?" Now it was MY turn to be shocked. At first I just froze, stunned by how nice she was, but then quickly knobbed, hoping I didn't offend her.
" Keep under my umbrella, okay, until we get to the café," she said and began to circle out of the alley, while I followed next to her.
And wake without you
there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
" When we get to the café, you can tell me all about what happened, okay?" she kept talking as I knobbed at her words. What's your name?" That took me by surprise a bit.
" Korea," I replied after a short pause. The woman knobbed as we got out of the alley and let me into the nearest coffee shop. As we opened the glass doors of the café, the man working at the counter quickly stopped reading the newspaper he was reading, looking at us with interest. While the woman put away her umbrella, I marveled at how warm it was here. And the rich smell of hot French Vanilla and Cappuccino filled my lungs.
" May I help you?" the man asked rapidly. Just then I remembered that I had no money. I was about to tell that to the hooded stranger, when she said:
" I'd like some hot chocolate," then she turned to me. What would you like, Korea?" Once again, I was impressed by her kindness. Even though I just met her, she already felt like a friend.
" Umm…I shouldn't…" I said shyly.
" Nonsense," was the woman's remark. Do you want hot chocolate also?" I slowly knobbed, still embarrassed. The man at the counter turned away, filling two cups of hot drinks while the woman led me to a table at the back. I sat down as she went back to get the drinks and returned, setting one beside me.
Isn't there someone
missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
" T-thank you…" I said, still staring at the hot chocolate like it was some kind of a treasure.
" Well, go ahead drink it," the woman took a sip under her hood. I thanked her again and began to slowly drink the warming liquid; quickly feeling like the cold was swept away from my body. One thing in all my thoughts still kept bothering most, though…
" Excuse me," I caught the woman's attention. But, I don't even know who you are yet." The figure put down her cup.
" I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself," the hood slid off her head and my eyes became the size of kitchen plates. I'm Naiana, Naia for short." I nearly dropped my cup as I saw the same familiar brown hair in two ponytails around the sides, the same brown eyes, and the same soft smile.
" What's wrong, I don't look that bad, do I?" Naia laughed at my expression. I quickly shook my head to get my shock away. NAIA! HERE! Right now!!!
" No, you're not ugly," I managed to get out, putting the cup in my shaking hand on the table. You just look exactly like my friend. Have we met, because your name is also familiar?" Naia thought for a moment as I looked over her again. I felt like jumping and hugging her, telling her all the crazy things that happened. But…
My face saddened though after she said, "no, I don't think so Korea" to my question. How can I be so dumb? If my own brother wouldn't recognize me, how could Naia, since she's not even related to me?!
" So, Korea, tell me why your mother told you to leave the house for today?" Naia asked, sipping her chocolate again. I began to explain everything, leaving out the part where I thought I knew Kai and Rei…
***
~Normal POV~
" Hmmm…" a boy with crimson-red hair watched as Naia and Korea entered the coffee shop. The rain soaked his clothes, but his mind was too far away from here to pay attention to that.
" Tala, you coming?" a slightly shorted boy walked up to him. Tala snapped out of his thoughts and stared hard at the person that just joined him.
" Give me a minute Ivan," he snapped back. Ivan mumbled something under his breath.
" Fine, but Voltaire's waiting and you know how he doesn't like to be kept waiting!" he suddenly smirked. Tala emitted a low growl of warning, clearly letting Ivan know this is not the time to temper with him.
" I'll be there soon, tell him that!" he hissed and Ivan left. A stroke of thunder reflected at Tala's figure, making half of his face hide in the bright glow! Only if you can, he thought, now staring at the café Korea and Naia went to. Only if you can tell him.
With that, the rain washed away his footsteps as the lone blader began to walk towards Kai's house…
***
~Korea's POV~
" And that's how…I ended up on the street," I finished, throwing away the empty paper cup from the hot drink. Naia knobbed, already done with hers.
" I see you have a rough life," she remarked.
" Naia, you know so much about me," I said, thinking over my question. But could you tell me a little about yourself? Where are you heading?" I wanted to know, since Naia never really told me, dream or no dream.
" Actually, I'm pretty usual," Naia replied, smiling again. I'm fifteen, my last name is Corcut and I'm a traveler." My eyes opened wide at the last part.
" Why?" I asked quietly. She gave me a surprised look.
" Why what?" she asked softly after.
" Why are you a traveler?" raising my eyes to meet hers, she understood what I was aiming at. I mean, is it because…" Naia knobbed and I swear I saw a tears go down her check quickly.
" Yes, my mother died giving birth to me and my father, being as healthy as he seemed, died from cancer when I was ten. Ever since then, I've been searching to find my brother." I listened carefully. Even in another place, some things never change. Well, actually, she never told me if she had a brother or not in my dream. Great…now even I think the past was all a dream…
" So, I was leaving this place today when I noticed that you were in trouble," Naia smiled nervously for some reason, but then calmed down. So, I decided my trip could wait a while." We both sat in silence for a moment, both thinking about our own things.
" Maybe…we should go out," my friend finally broke the silence, getting up. I think the rain stopped and…I think I'd better finish my journey." We walked out of the café.
" Do you have to leave?" I couldn't stop that question from coming. May I come with you?"
" I'd love for you to come with me," Naia said, but then got serious. But if you do, then you'll never discover your place in life." I was about to object when she silenced me by putting her finger to my lips.
" Don't think I'm mean, I really like you and all," she said and I quieted down as we neared the taxi stop. But, the problem is, if you come with me, you'll never find out what you have to do I in life. There are people here who care about you, you just have to look a little further to see that." That made me think. Who cares about me here? You do, Naia…but who else?
We sat down on the bench next to the taxi stop. Naia stared quietly at me while I thought.
" The sun is rising," she said, looking east. I raised my head to meet the sight of a colorful sunrise. The wind blew through my soaked shirt and Naia looked at me in surprise. Then I sneezed.
" Oh, god, why didn't you tell me you have a cold?" Naia quickly opened her suitcase and took out a sweater. She asked me to take of my soaked sleeveless, summer coat. My shirt wasn't so soaked, only the bottom and the sweater felt so nice and warm as she pulled it on me.
" But what about…" I began, but she interrupted me.
" It's okay, keep it," Naia replied. To remember me as a friend." Another thought came into my mind and curiosity took over. I took a deep breath and after another silent pause, asked:
" Naia, why did you stay? You could have left like the rest?" Even though I wasn't looking at her, I knew she was staring with seriousness at me. Why did I have to ask that…why? To my, surprise she answered.
" I really wanted a friend also," she said slowly. And you looked so upset, I just couldn't leave you." My eyes filled with tears. She only pitied me!
" So you only want to be with me because you feel sorry for me?" I asked hurtfully. No reply came, but a hand made contact with my face. It pushed my eyes to meet Naia's; my now red eyes to meet her sadden brown ones.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean only for that reason," she said and I listened again, letting go of the tears clouding my eyes. I'm trying to put it in the best way, but sometimes, words cannot express what you want them to. Maybe if I showed you…" Before I could reply, warm lips covered mine. The silent contact opened up my eyes.
A few seconds later, my heart began to beat loudly in my ears as something near calmness swept over me. Still, the shock of the present situation didn't leave, since I was still frozen. I mean, Naia's here, sitting next to me, kissing me in the lips. The strangest part was that I didn't pull away.
Another five seconds later, Naia pulled away and I noticed tears in her eyes. Needless to say, the shock on my face was oh-too-clear. I saw the care in my friend's eyes…but I also saw hurt flush after she pulled.
" Naia…" I squeaked finally. She looked down sadly.
" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that," she said. I should have told you…and now, you probably don't want to see me anymore. I'm sorry, I had to tell you somehow, but how could I explain…" She looked up at me with now scarlet-brown eyes as her cheeks flushed from the tears "…that I had a crush on you the second I saw you. An eight-year-old girl and a fifteen-year-old one." My shock quickly faded. Naia looked away again and I began to wonder…what was that I felt when she kissed me? Could I possibly…
Beeep!!! The horn of a car blew and a taxi pulled over. The driver poked his head out. I knew I had to reassemble myself to know the truth…
" Hey ladies, are you getting on?" he asked, coming out. Naia stood up and wiped her eyes, quickly handing her suitcase to the man.
" Well, good-bye Korea and good luck," Naia turned to me. I'll miss you." When she was about to get in, I quickly grabbed her hand and she stared at me for a moment, freezing.
" Naia, don't go…" I couldn't believe that she was leaving. Not now, when I finally found myself. Please don't leave, I…I l-l…" The words didn't finish coming out as I began to cry suddenly. Naia bend down and hugged me.
" It'll be okay, don't worry," she said. I'll return here in two weeks, I promise. I'll get temporarily job somewhere and I will get the money to buy you a ticket to come with me." I knobbed as she leaned closer and kissed me again, though the driver didn't notice. I didn't know how to kiss, but I let my instincts do the job and it seemed to turn out okay.
" You really mean it?" I asked once she pulled away. She knobbed and hugged me again, tears still streaming down her cheeks. Then she got into the car and closed the door, looking out the window.
" Please wait for me if you consider me your friend" Naia said and I eagerly knobbed. I would wait forever. But this was all confusing at once…it happened so suddenly, so quickly. I mean I knew I felt something for Naia before, but didn't know what it was and…
" Good-bye, Korea, I will see you again," the car began to pull out as Naia waved from the window to me. And remember, there are people here who care about you. All may not be what it seems." That was the last I heard before the car turned around the corner, leaving me again at the taxi bench. The outside wind kept blowing into my face, trying to freeze my emotions, but it didn't succeed. I was smiling inside, still covered by the warmth of Naia's arms around me, as well as covered by her sweater from the wind and covered by new hope of her returning from my sadness. At least for a while…
I was sitting on the bench at the park, thinking over what Naia said. She said that there are people who care about me here. But who besides her…
Then it hit me! I slapped myself in the forehead as I jumped up. Why didn't I see it before? Rei cared…even though he didn't know me, he still cared. And I was too bothered by feeling sorry for myself to notice it. So I drove him away…
I quickly ran to where I saw him, my hopes not too high of finding him there. He's probably home now. And all because of me. But no more. I saw a woman with red hair pass bye as I ran up to her.
" Excuse me, but have you seen a black-haired boy with golden eyes in a Chinese outfit walking around here?" I asked rapidly. She thought for a moment.
" A teenage boy? With a red bandana?" she asked as I knobbed. Oh, yes, I saw him walk by some time ago. He seemed to be heading towards that shop." I looked where she pointed and saw a small bey blade shop. With a "thank you", I ran towards it as fast as I could, the wind blowing like crazy in my ears. Almost there…
" So, she was here about an hour ago," I heard a familiar voice coming from the shop and to my relief, a miracle happened and Rei came out of the shop. Okay, tell me if you find her. Thanks. See ya, Max." He circled around the corner as I followed him.
WHAM!!!! I smashed right into his back, making both of us roll a few feet on the ground.
" Hey!" Rei quickly pushed me off, making ME roll a few MORE feet on the ground. At first he looked angry, but then that changed when he saw me.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you like that," I said, rubbing my head. Are you okay?"
" Are YOU ok?" Rei picked me up and put me down gently. You looked like you just seen a house on fire and judging by the way you were running, you did." I laughed for the first time. Rei always knew how to cheer me up, even if I'm a stranger to him.
" Well, actually, I was trying to catch up to you," I said, brushing the dust off the sweater. Rei gave me a surprised look, but then his eyes traveled to the picture in my hand.
" Wow, is that Kai?" he asked as I picked up the drawing and showed him. It is, isn't it? Do you know him?" I was about to say no, but then remembered what Naia said. Maybe I should tell him…
" Yes, I do," I said and Rei pun on a curious face.
" From where?" he asked.
" He's my brother," all the fear was gone from my voice and I opened up, finally letting him know. He looked a bit confused after that statement.
Before I could say anything else, I saw the same white shot I saw before appear behind him. It was inching closer with every second to Rei, though he didn't seem to notice it.
" Rei," I knew I had to say this quickly. I'm sorry I ran away earlier, I just felt that nobody cared and I only thought about myself. I was selfish, but now I see the truth."
" But, really, it's not…" Rei began, but I cut him off, seeing I had very little time. I sensed the energy coming from that shot earlier and since I didn't have my powers, there was only one thing to do…
" Rei, listen to me," I was so confident now for some reason, I said everything that came to my mind. When I'll be gone, tell everybody that I will miss them all." He still looked confused. I suddenly knew what I needed to say.
" I thought that if I was gone, I wasn't missed," my eyes shook as I talked for some reason, but I felt new and ready for a fresh start. But I was wrong, Rei, so wrong. I was missing all right, but I was also missed and I'm sorry I didn't realize that earlier." It was time.
" See ya, Rei," I said and pushed Rei out of the way of the blast. He was shocked when he landed on the ground…
~Normal POV~
Rei looked up to see Korea disappear in a sudden bright light as everything dissolved around him, making his head spin. The last thing he heard before the world went totally white was Korea's blood curling scream…
What will happen now? How will Rei react to what Korea said? What are those mysterious white blasts? What'll happen to Korea now? Find out in the next chapter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kerda: Wow, Naia likes Korea? I didn't see that one coming.
Tyson: O.O Neither did I. Well, let's see. Oh, no, I have to run. It's almost breakfast time.
Kerda (*sweat-drops*): okay. Everybody, there was Yuri (*female/female*) romance in this chapter. I think I'd better run, I'll see you all in the next chapter.
