Kai flexed his legs, plopping them on his desk. "The first day of school...damn. Why did this day have to come?" he muttered. His arms were crossed with a dark glare glued on his face. As more students came into the class, they all avoided sitting next or even near, for that case, Kai. His eyes closed, trying to sleep. The teacher was hell afraid of him so it's not like he'll make him pay attention to class. He just couldn't wait 'til class was over, and he could go home to practice beyblading. The bell rang, signaling for class to start. The teacher walked in calm and relaxed. He looked at Kai; no look of fear took over him. He just smirked. This teacher wasn't going to be the same as those pushover ones.
"Ohayou gozaimasu minna-san, Kyubei-sensei desu," Kyubei bowed. To the rest of the class, he looked pretty friendly, one of those cool teachers, who you could talk to about anything. But to Kai, a shiver ran down his spine; no other teacher has ever given him a look so...so...threatening.
"Ohayou gozaimasu sensei," the rest of the class said together. Kai hadn't join in of course. Kyubei didn't seem to mind. In fact, he had something in mind for Kai...to teach him to respect the teacher...a little thing called punishment. Of course, during their spring break, he had heard such remarks by all teachers, pitying him for having Kai Hiwatari in his class.
"Minna-san, there is a new student joining us today. Please welcome Michiko Shibasaki," Kyubei introduced. An indigo-haired girl, not very tall walked into the classroom. She was probably one of the shortest girls in the class. "Shibasaki-chan is actually a year younger than really...everyone else. But she qualified for 9th grade. Shibasaki, please tell us a little about yourself," Kyubei smiled, a warming smile.
"Well..." Michiko started, at first she seemed as the shy type. That assumption didn't stay for long. "I love to play Volleyball and card games. But my favorite would have to be Beyblading," Michiko smiled, showing her fierce side. The word 'Beyblading' had snapped Kai out of his daze. He was now, at least, watching with some interest.
"Is that so? Well I happen to know a young lad who loves Beyblading too...in fact, you're new here so I think it would be wonderful if this young sir would take you around the school for oh...say a month?" Kyubei smiled, kindly, it appeared to the class, wicked to Kai.
'Oh no...he better not...' Kai grimaced, sucking in air and breathing it out. His hands balled up into tight fists. 'Who does this guy think he's messing with??? Has he heard any reports at all about me?" Kai thought, angrily.
"Hiwatari, would you like to take Shibasaki around? You both have a common interest in Beyblades I see..." Kyubei said thoughtfully, placing a finger under his chin. Kai opened his mouth to respond harshly but Kyubei interrupted him. "Nonsense! I won't take no for an answer! Take a seat next to Hiwatari...err...any seat...and if Hiwatari hurts you in any way, shape, or form, then tell me straight away. My punishments are already lined up. You hear that Hiwatari? Hurt her and I'll make you school year a living hell," Kyubei scolded.
'This guy sure talks a lot,' Kai thought as Michiko took a seat next to him. "Listen, how about you go your own way, and I'll go my own way? Here," Kai grabbed one of the school nerds who shrieked a 'Please don't hurt me!' whisper. "Take this guy to be your tour guide or whatever," Kai mumbled, throwing the nerd back to his own seat.
"Oh Hiwatari-chan," Michiko said, putting on a shy look. "I have no intentions, what-so-ever, to do that. Grow up. I think you're pretty cute. You'll do fine as my guide," Michiko giggled, going back to paying attention to Kyubei. She was intelligent but she didn't like to show it very often, which was actually just like Kai. As the leader of the Bladebreakers, he strategizes all their methods of fighting. Class ended quite quickly actually. Kai grabbed his stuff and whooshed them into his bag, hoping to ditch Michiko. He headed for the door, reaching for the knob. "Hiwatari!" Michiko yelled, grabbing his arm. "Don't run away. If you do, who will be my tour guide?" Michiko asked, innocently. Kai sighed.
"Listen, if you go with me, there will be no tour. Got it? So grab a nerd and be off," Kai spat. Michiko flinched.
"I'm not a wuss ok? I'm following you until it's time for me to go home even if there is no tour. Your school is small. I can get around easily," Michiko rolled her eyes. Kai checked his watch.
"Oh look what time it is! Time for you to get lost, go home," Kai remarked sarcastically.
"Get a grip, take me with you to where you're going. Or I'll just tell Kyubei-sensei that you just happened to hurt me. I'm sure his punishments are you...worthwhile," Michiko blackmailed. Kai groaned. Something about Kyubei-sensei really scared him...
"Fine," he sighed, giving in. "But do not talk to any of my friends," Kai muttered, heading off. His temper was rising. Who does she think she is bossing me around?
"You have friends?" he heard her say quietly to herself. They walked for a little while, talking as little as possible. Every time Michiko started talking, Kai would end the conversation abruptly.
"Hey Kai, whose the girl? Your girlfriend?" Rei asked, teasing Kai. Kai looked like he was going to gag.
"Are you kidding? My f@#*ed up sensei forced me to 'tour guide' her," Kai mumbled, sitting himself on a couch.
"Hello? I'm right here you know? Don't talk about me as if I'm here," Michiko said, planting her hands on her hip. She rolled her eyes and noticed that there was another girl with the guys. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" Michiko asked Kai.
"No," Kai replied, smirking. The other guys laughed as the pink-haired girl rolled her eyes. She seemed to be in the same position as Michiko.
"Then I will," she scoffed at them. "I'm Mariah," Mariah smiled at Michiko. "That's Tyson, a spunky kid. He's Max, another spunky kid. This is Rei, my boyfriend, and that's Kenny, the brains of this network. They're all in a Beyblade group called the Bladebreakers. I'm with the White Tigers. Rei was too but he ditched us for this group," Mariah said, knowing a complaint was going to be heard.
"Mariah, I already explained to you," Rei sighed. Mariah rolled her eyes and mumbled a 'Yeah, whatever.'
"So what's your name?" Mariah asked Michiko, ignoring Rei.
"I'm Shibasaki Michiko," Michiko bowed politely. "So do these punks always treat girls like dirt? If not, Kai sure gave an impression of that," Michiko giggled. Mariah giggled also.
"Well...my Rei doesn't. That's only cause I'm his girlfriend. But he's pretty nice most of the time. Kenny is just a sweetie, polite to practically everyone. Tyson and Max are sometimes mean and sometimes nice. You probably just got an impression from Kai," Mariah laughed.
"So now whose talking to who about someone whose here?" Kai asked.
"Eh? English please?" Michiko asked.
"Never mind. Let's Beyblade. You're a Beyblader right? So show me your stuff," Kai grinned, being his competitive self. Michiko, surprisingly, looked hesitant.
"All right...but don't insult me! I'm not very good..." Michiko sighed. She stood in her starting position, and as soon as Kai was ready, she launched her Beyblade, Blaperl. Kai smirked, releasing Dranzer. As Michiko had mentioned, her forces weren't standing so well, and she was defeated, though not as soon as she would have guessed. (HEY! I'm sorry ok? I'm not good at writing good Beyblade battles ^__^;;) "I told you I was bad," Michiko sulked, staring at the ground. For some odd reason, Kai felt the urge to insult her but instead, comforted her.
"You held up pretty well. I'm just a champ at this," Kai said. Rei blinked.
"Kai, you feeling ok?" Rei asked, worried that he was sick or something. Kai was also shocked.
"Yeah...I think I should go now," Kai rubbed the back of his head. The hard look on his face melted into a confused look. He headed for the door and expected it to close right away but there was a pause before it closed. He turned around.
"I told you that I'm going to be following you until it's time for me to go home," Michiko said softly. Kai hardened again.
"Oh yeah? And when is that? Isn't your mommy worried about you or something?" Kai asked. "Why can't you just leave me alone?" Kai sighed, growling as he headed towards his apartment with Michiko following.
"One, I live in an apartment with two other borders, not my mommy. And two, I really like...the company," Michiko sighed, not saying what she wanted to. She kept following him. "So is it alright? That I follow you?" Michiko asked. Kai muttered to himself.
"Fine, whatever pleases you," Kai said. They arrived at his apartment, Michiko a few feet behind Kai. She was afraid he'd get upset if she was too near him so she dragged behind. He opened the door, waiting for her to enter.
"Um...Hiwatari-sama, there's something I kinda need to tell you..." Michiko mumbled.
"What's that? I can't understand what you're saying," Kai smirked. 'She's pretty cute when she's embarrassed...wait...what the hell am I thinking? No! No! No! She is not cute!'
"Um...let's...go inside first," Michiko frowned, nervously. She took a seat on the couch; he sat across from her. He waited for her to speak. Nothing. She seemed to be trying to find a way to say it.
"What is it that you want to tell me? I'd like to go back to practicing Beyblading if you're quite through," Kai said, starting to get up.
"No wait!" Michiko cried out and grabbed his arm. She stared at where her hand and his arms touched. Her hand fell slowly down his arm to his hand. "It's just...well...I...um...I really...really like you," Michiko said shyly. She reverted her gaze to the floor. Kai looked really calm...but wasn't inside.
"Um...I think I'll go back to practicing now, see you," Kai let go of her hand and walked slowly towards his room. Sure, he could tell a lot of girls in his class thought the bad boys were cute but it was the first time someone actually had the courage to tell him...let alone someone who was here for just one day.
"Kai...I left my keys with my roommates so is it alright if I stay here? If you have an extra room that is...I do like you but I'm not foolish enough to sneak into your bed or anything," Michiko laughed, returning back to her normal self. (NO!!! It's not going to be a lemon for all you sick people -__-;;)
"Yeah sure, down the hall, the second door to the left," Kai muttered, entering his room. Michiko entered the shower room, sighing. She finished her nightly needs and entered her room in her pj's combing her hair.
