"Ahh! Sunny Hawaii! I can't believe we're
finally here... Hey Maria! Wake up!"
"Huh? What is it? Five more minutes..."
"Annika! You know she's jetlagged... and it's been twenty- one hours!"
"... Let her sleep..."
Max spun as he heard the familliar 'arguments' of their befriended team. He looked towards Tyson. "Tyson, doesn't that sound familiar?" The boy listened over his stomach's growling, and grinned, as he searched for the source. "Scarlet!" The familiar head of bloody red turned at the sound, and colour flushed the porcelain cheeks of the owner. "Tyson..."
The bladebreakers walked towards the Angel Blades with their luggage, and stopped to mingle. "Hey... what's up? What happened to HER?" Max asked, looking at the sleeping Maria, who was sleeping standing up, leaning on the cart holding the girl's luggage. The owner of the Moon Bird laughed. "One word explains it all: Jetlag." They all (except for Kai) 'oooh'-ed. Finally, he decided to say something. "Which hotel are you staying in? We want no surprises..." Farhana grinned. "We're not staying in a hotel, we're staying in a rented chalet near the beach." Kai nodded in reply and raised an eyebrow at Maria, who was sound asleep, even if Anniki had just poured water on her face. Scarlet swapped the youngest girl away.
"Let her sleep! You're the only one who's been sleeping the entire 21 hours!" Then, Farhana came back from the counter, holding Rukkie the Fox. The cage was taken by Anniki, who laughed and finally kept off the older jetlagged girl. But Farhana finally started to move as Maria swatted Tyson's pokes off. Finally, she smiled thinly as Tyson flew out of the roof, Maria holding out a fist. "As you can see, she's attatched to her sleep. We're off then, ja-ne!" The guys all nodded and watched them leave.
*Then* Max noticed Ray was missing, and groaned when he saw the aforementioned team-mate chatting with the White Tigers. "Uh-oh..." he shared an understanding glance with Kai, who shrugged and started to leave. "The hotel's waiting."
***Change Scene***
It was evening, and Tyson's snores were heard all over the large hotel suite. Kai dressed in his usual clothes, and went out of the building, onto the rooftop, silently. as he had sensed, Scarlet was waiting for him, in her usual clothes. (I just noticed that I haven't told you what she wears) A red sleeveless turtleneck , with black denim pants. She grinned at him, showing larger-than-normal canines. "I knew you would sense it... You're one of our kind, aren't you?" Kai smirked and nodded, standing directly in front of her, ten metres away.
"You know what we have to do. Don't stall for time." Scarlet nodded and charged forward, then jumped up and over Kai as he let a kick go, which hit her back as she landed. Then, the red- haired one hissed and somersaulted over his head, and grabbing his shoulders, landed, and using the momentum, threw him at the nearby wall. Kai growled and wiped the blood coming out of his mouth, and charged at Scarlet, and the two parried thrust after thrust, attacking and guarding. Finally, Kai hit her with a sweep, and she landed, sprawled, across him. She stood up again and aimed a kick from his side, wich he caught, but she spun in mid air, and her other foot met with the side of his head. Both of their eyes were glowing red, as they entered another series of attacks.
This continued until the first rays of the sun came over the horizon, and their eyes went back to normal. Kai and Scarlet looked at each other, with confused looks on their faces. But Scarlet smirked. "You know that the wheels off destiny will not change." Then, she jumped off the building. Kai shook his head, and as if waking up from a dream, watched as Scarlet jumped from building to building. He shook his head. He was never aware of what he did when he became what he was. "I can, and I will."
"Hi Max! So how's everything going?" Max grinned over the phone. "As well as can be expected, Mr Dickenson!" (Author laughs. I can't help it.) There was an approving "Hmmm." over the phone. "Oh well ,I will be arriving at the second day of the tournament. Practise hard until then, and make sure you're still in the tournament!" Max gave an affirmative and put the phone down. "He'll be back on the second day of the tournament." he told the rest, and nodded towards Kai. "You ok?" Kai odded, still feeling distracted by what he and Scarlet did.
Then the phone rang again. It was MariaH. (take note the 'H') Tyson answered it and nodded and agreed to something he didn't even consult the others with. "Ok. C ya later, then!" Ray stood up. "What was that all about?" Tyson grinned. "Get ready, we're going to have a practise session with the White Tigers! And a bar-b-q after that, of course." The rest sweatdropped. "Where is it?" He grinned. "Near the beach! Maybe we'll get to see the Angel Blades again." Ray sweatdropped more. "Tyson, Hawaii is surrounded by beaches. They could be right across the island if they wanted to." Tyson nodded. "Oh."
They rented a taxi and got to the adress without much trouble. They just stopped about FIVE times so that Tyson could get something to eat. Finally, though, they arrived at the small semi-detatched house. (It was a smart thing, the other half of the house was where the owners lived.) Ray greeted his ex-team mates and they went outside to get the barbecue ready. The coals, the fire, blah blah. (Let's fast forward to ten minutes later.)
They were just taking out the meat, when none other than the Angel Blades went up the opposite house's driveway, all wet and carrying surfboards. (Honestly, who didn't see that coming. I'll fwap you on the head with a spork!) Ray noticed them and stared. "Maria?" Mariah went up behind him. "Huh?" Ray shook his head. "No, not Ma-rai-ah, Ma-ri-a." Mariah nodded. "Oh. Those must be our neighbours. I heard they're also competing in the tournament." Tyson nodded. "Better believe it. They're good. We got second place coz of 'em." Lee raised an eyebrow. "THAT good, or THAT lucky?" Tyson scowled and dropped the stuff he was carrying to greet the girls.
Anniki bounced up to him and grinned, and started chatting. The rest soon came over, and introductions were made. Tension was thick in the air and everyone sensed it between Kai and Scarlet, and Mariah and Maria. (Sweatdrop) Tyson tried to lighten things up a bit between the two girls, only to have himself paralyzed by two deadly Death Glares (tm) After that, he left the two alone and moved to Kai and Scarlet, who didn't even take notice of him as he slunk dejectedly away.
Max chatted with Farhana. "We were surfing earlier. It's quite fun, actually. It's the first time we tried it, and we're hooked!" They made a mental note to try it out later. Finally, Mariah made it clear that she wanted to eat NOW, and that the fire shouldn't be left alone. With a distinguished 'Hpmh!" she turned away from Maria, who hissed at her back and took the surfboards to be stored inside. Kevin elbowed Ray at the ribs. "What is it with you and women?" He blushed and stuttred, changing the subject. The others sweatdropped and went in.
The barbecue as resumed, and then, the match came, but was suddenly interrupted by the banging of a door, and a very harassed looking Maria glaring at Mariah and cycling away. Fast. Anniki followed a few moments later, jumping while putting on her shoe. Then she, too, cycled away, calling for her half sister. (Sorta) The rest shrugged, and resumed their matches, in which some of them kept on losing, until later, Scarlet came out and cycled away as well, then finally, everyone stopped, whilst Max knocked on the door and almost got run over by a Farhana, who was about to cycle out. He had a short discussion with her and she cycled away as well.
He shrugged at the rest, who shrugge back. Tyson jogged up to Max, curious to what was said. "What happened?" Max cast an apprehensive look at the rest, and whispered something to Tyson, who started turning red and laughing so hard, he fell to the floor. Max was looking quite pissed. "What are you laughing about? It's not funny!" Tyson just continued to laugh harder, rolling over and flailing madly. "But...hahaha..he...hahaha...I... MWAHAHA!!" he couldn't talk, and was slowly starting to turn purple, from lack of oxygen. The rest raised their eyebrows, and Gary went over and hung him upside down to make him stop laughing.
The three went over and Ray walked forward. "What happened?" Max smiled thinly, but shook his head. "Erhh... Tyson doesn't really look well, does he? I think, I'll go back to the hotel with him." Kai gave his permission, sighing, and went back to his battle against Lee. "Bakaero."
Once they got into the cab, Tyson grinned at Max. "What is it with Ray and girls?" Max shrugged and told the taxi driver to head for Sunset Beach. They arrived and saw the four bicycles up front. They paid the taxi and walked in. Scarlet was sitting on a beach chair, sunbathing, Anniki beside her. The guys greeted them and smiled. "How's stuff going?" scarlet shrugged and Anniki sat up. "Nana's still talking to her. they're somewhere on the rocks." Tyson grinned and elbowed Max. "Let's go for a swim!" Max pouted and narrowed his eyes, then suddenly grinned and ran off. "Race ya!"
Scarlet looked at the two and sighed. Anniki turned serious all of a sudden and faced Scarlet. "What happened last night? So is he of the opposite clan?" Scarlet nodded. "We had a fight. I totally lost control of the vampire inside me." Anniki flipped over and took the hair out of her face. "Seriously?" Scarlet nodded.
"He's not sure of his powers yet. I saw some bruises on his arm, just partially healed. I healed all of mine last night." The younger girl nodded. "Just don't go fighting anymore. I had a shock when you came back bloody and bruised." Scarlet nodded. "But I know the vampire in me said something. I just don't remember. She totally took control of me." She sighed and closed her eyes.
A/N: You might have already read all of this.
If so, you can just go to Chapter 3, or wait for it to come out.
