Since I'm home sick from school today, I'm going to update. But, I am still grounded so…expect slow updates from now on.
Oh, and to help with any confusion, I'll be referring to Bastet as Annex now, but certain characters will still call her Bastet. Does that make sense?
"Get up!"
Kai growled as he grabbed Annex's leg and roughly yanked her out of bed. The girl normally got up on time, but of course, since they had a match today, she decided to sleep in.
Annex got to her feet, rubbing her head and mumbling to herself. "Will you chill out, Kai? Damn. What's your problem? Didn't get any from Rei last night?" she said, before disappearing into the bathroom.
Kai felt his face flush with a mixture of rage and embarrassment. "My problem is your slacking off! You're supposed to be team captain, Bastet, but you're acting like an amateur!" his yelling brought the girl out of the bathroom, dressed and brushing her long hair.
She fought a few stubborn tangles from her hair before giving Kai a look of apology. "You're right. Sorry."
She tossed her brush on the bed and pushed her hair away from her face. As she gathered her beyblade together, she glanced over her shoulder. "Are you nervous?"
The older boy just smirked. "Me? Hardly."
"Uh huh. You do know, if we win, we will be up against your old team."
Kai fiddled around with Dranzer's blade for a few seconds, keeping his attention elsewhere. "You don't have to remind me."
"But I do." Annex stuffed Illuser into her pocket and turned to give Kai a serious look. "I know how you feel about Rei, but I can't afford to have you punk out on us. I'm glad you're in love, but you have to keep your love life and your professional life separate. At least for now."
Kai didn't answer. He didn't feel like granting Annex's lecture with a response. And even if he did, he wouldn't know what to say. This was the first time in his life Kai was faced with a decision like this.
Annex titled her head to the side, watching Kai closely. He was trying to look distracted, so he wouldn't have to talk. She had seen other people act like this before, but Kai's attitude was catching her off guard.
"In any case," she said, trying to break the silence, "you don't have to worry about that now. We are up against the Megabladers, not the Bladebreakers. So you can stop thinking about it for now."
Kai stood up, heading toward the door. "Whatever. Let's go."
* * *
"I think I should go first, Bastet!"
"Uh huh." Annex rested her chin in her head and gazed out at the dish, ignoring the announcers. "I don't know, Meil. You haven't practiced in a while."
Meil huffed and glared at her. "I would have been able to if a certain girl hadn't taken away my bitbeast."
Annex glanced at him briefly. "You mean, took back my bitbeast, right? Besides, you still could have practiced."
Meil started to reply, but was cut off by Phoen. "That's enough. Annex Bastet, I think Cent should start us off. Do you agree?"
Annex shrugged. "Sure. Why not? Cent!"
The black haired boy looked up. "Yeah?"
"Have a blast."
Cent got to his feet, grinning wildly. "Thanks!"
As the boy walked to the dish, Annex glanced at Kai. "Sadly enough, Cent is one of out weaker players. He just can't get the hang of Suisei sometimes. But then, Suisei is kind of temperamental, so it isn't Cent's fault."
"Why are you sending him out first then?" Kai questioned.
"You tell me." Annex answered. "What's your take on it?"
Kai crossed his arms over his chest. "You want to catch the other team off guard. Make yourselves look weak, before coming at them full force."
"Bingo." Annex smiled.
Cent smiled as he took his place at the dish. He had heard the Megabladers were good, so he was looking forward to the challenge. As he prepared Suisei's blade for battle, he hoped inwardly that the water spirit wouldn't be temperamental.
"3…2…1…let it rip!"
"Let's go Suisei!" Cent yelled as he launched his light blue blade into the dish. Suisei hit the dish hard, but instead of going in for an attack against the other blade, the water phoenix went back up the side of the dish, hopping over the edge and out of the dish, spinning at Cent's feet.
The entire stadium went quiet for a second before Jazzman spoke up. "Uhh, I'm not sure what happened just now, but the win goes to Tony of the Megabladers!"
From their seats in the stadium, the Bladebreakers blinked in confusion.
"What was that? This is the team Kai left us for?!" Tyson complained.
Back on the bench, Kai was staring with wide eyes, while Annex slapped herself on the forehead.
"Just when I think we can't get any lower, the bottom drops out from under us!" she moaned before looking at Cent. "No sweat, I'll go next."
She got up and headed toward the dish, leaving her team, and especially Kai, sulking about the embarrassing loss. She glanced down at Illuser. "Don't get any bright ideas!"
"The Phoenix tribe is sending their team captain Annex Bastet to this dish, and she isn't captain for nothing!" Brad best commented.
"That's right Brad." A.J. piped in. "she's a great blader, but I hope you brought a jacket, just incase she brings her bitbeast Illuser to the party!"
Annex blinked her opponent, who was blatantly laughing in her face. She scowled. "What?"
The boy from the Megabladers, whose name was Derek, smirked. "You guys are a joke! You should just forfeit!"
Annex growled and prepared Illuser. "We'll see."
"3…2…1…let it rip!"
Both blades launched into the dish, hitting on opposite sides and circling around each other.
"Wow, your blade didn't jump out!" Derek laughed.
Annex narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms. "Illuser, Storm of the Century Attack!"
The silver blade shot forward, small shards of ice flying from it. Derek smirked as Illuser fly past his blade, missing it by a few millimeters.
"Ha! Nice try! You missed!" he retorted.
"…Did I?"
Arg. This chapter was going to be longer, but I'm tired. So please leave a review and be on the look out for a new update!
