~Chapter 5~
The setting sunlight fell across the bodies of three teens that were slowly making their way home. Kai was walking several paces ahead of the other two who walked side-by-side. A deep frown was sketched upon Kai's face, this made Kassandra afraid to ask him a simple question.
'Gee, I never thought anyone could be so angry about one tiny thing' Kassandra thought as she continued to stare at the teen's back. That thought slowly drifted away from her mind as she remembered the time she, Evan, and Kai had switched the signs on the ski hill. They had got in big trouble but it was hilarious watching the beginners go down the more difficult runs. It was Kai's idea to do that in the first place. ' I think he's just in a bad mood, nothing to worry about, but I still should be careful'.
Kassandra cautiously approached Kai, wondering whether he'd snap at her. It might not be a good time, but she really wanted those gloves that were on sale at Roots. Her present ones were ready for the trash anyways.
"Hey Kai."
Kai slowly turned to face her; his slate coloured hair shadowed his eyes slightly.
"Could we go into Roots for a second? I want to get some new gloves." She held up her hands to show her torn and ripped mittens.
A small, barely visible smile appeared across his lips.
"I don't see why we can't"
"Thanks Kai, come on Evan were heading in here." With that she dashed inside the store closely followed by Evan and Kai.
Kai wandered about the crowded store. He was a big shopper and disliked many types of clothing and colours, especially spring colours. Unfortunately spring was just around the corner and he felt he had just walked into a girl's only store, oh the torture.
He found Kassandra and Evan digging through a large pile of colourful gloves. Kassandra appeared to be searching for a pair of black gloves. Black was the only colour she wore, so he had to wish her luck in finding black out of the pile of spring gloves. Evan, on the other hand, was laughing at a pair of electric pink gloves.
As Kai continued to stroll about the store, he noticed a crowd of teenagers about his age. All of them seemed to be excited and were pointing at something at the wall. Kai pushed his way through the crowd until he came to face a brightly coloured poster; it was for the Canadian Beyblade Tournament. At the bottom of the poster was-receive entry form at the cashier-maybe things would get interesting now.
Kai, once again made his way through the crowd and over to the cashier. Large piles of entry forms were stacked on a rack next to the magazines. He grabbed one and quickly read over the rules.
There must be a minimum of three bladers per each team. Each team must pay a fee of $50 per person. Anyone may enter.
It sounded pretty good. All the entry fees at the other tournaments he had been too were three times the cost. He was sure his parents would allow him to go, they were always encouraging him to compete. Now about the teammates, Evan might not need that much persuasion, but Kassandra was a tough nut to crack.
"Hey Kai, wha 'cha got there?"
Kai looked up from the entry sheet to see Evan curiously looking at the paper he was holding in his hands.
"It's an entry form to a beyblade tournament."
"Dude, let me see it."
Kai handed the form over to Evan who quickly scanned over it.
"The Canadian Tournament, that's always a big one, it'd be fun to go."
Kai looked down at Evan. He had just said the five words that he was hoping Evan would say. This was too easy.
"You know, that would be a great idea. You, Kassandra, and I could go as a team, as long as you're good."
"If you pay I'll go, deal?"
"Deal"
"Alright, now we have to get little miss stubborn to come" Evan said, jerking his thumb over to the black-haired girl behind him. "Yo Kassandra, get your large rear end over here."
"My butt is NOT large, you shouldn't be staring at it anyways." Kassandra crossed her arms over her chest and leaned slightly to the right as she put her weight on one foot. She had apparently found the gloves she wanted and was holding them in her hand.
"Burn Evan burn"
"Shut up Kai. Anyways, we found an entry form to the Canadian Tournament in Ottawa and we're looking for a third member. Well what do ya say?"
Kassandra frowned, this was never a good sign; she hated traveling. Kai knew what the answer was, she never went anywhere; this would not be an exception.
"Listen Kassandra, you think about and tell us when you've made up your mind, ok?"
With that, Kai strolled out the door.
Several hours later Kassandra was walking up the driveway to the Hiwatari house. She was sure Kai would be asleep since he still was getting used to the enormous time change. It didn't matter; she had to tell him her answer soon before she changed her mind.
After much persuasion from Evan, and her mother, who told her it would be a great opportunity for them to hang out, she agreed. She mostly agreed because of Kai though. He probably thought she wasn't going which got him pissed off. She hated it when people were angry.
Kassandra poked her head through the front door. She always popped up uninvited and the Hiwataris' didn't mind, so it became a habit.
"Oh hello Kassandra. Kai's in his bedroom, I'm not sure whether he's asleep or not so I suggest you knock."
"Thank you Mrs. Hiwatari."
"No problem dear."
Kassandra jogged past the blue-haired woman and up the stairs. 'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, I could still tell him tomorrow'. She shrugged off the thought and knocked several times on his bedroom door. After awhile the door was swung open, revealing a sleepy teenager, but she didn't notice that.
Kai was wearing a pair of black boxers and nothing else, Her eyes traveled over his muscular arms, legs, and torso. 'Oh my god, he is so mine'.
"What do you want?" Kai asked, rubbing his eye. Apparently she had come at a bad time.
"I just wanted to tell you I will be going with you to the Canadian Tournament." She suddenly felt extremely nervous. He was just a friend, a very good-looking friend, but that didn't matter, did it?
"You are? That's great. Did you tell Evan yet?"
"Well, he was the person who got me to go, so I don't need to tell him."
"Oh really? Well what could he had possibly said that will get you out of your shell?" A slight smirk crossed his lips as he cocked an eyebrow. He obviously didn't believe Evan could say anything that intelligent.
"He didn't say to much" Kassandra said, stuffing her hands in her pockets, hoping that Kai didn't impose anymore on the subject.
~Flashback~
"Kassandra you have to come. It will be fun, trust me, anyways, Kai is going" Evan said. Talking to her was like talking to a brick wall.
"I'm not going and that's final"
"Fine, but I'm going to tell Kai you have a crush on him."
"Evan Cone Tompson, don't you dare."
Evan flinched at the mention of his middle name; he still didn't understand why his parents had given it to him.
"You're obviously forgetting who has the power here Kassandra. I can tell him your secret and you can't do anything about it. Although I won't tell him if you agree to come."
Kassandra thought for a moment. If she went, Evan and Kai would be happy and Kai wouldn't know a thing. If she didn't go, she would have to lock herself in her room and never come out in a fear of facing Kai. There was only one thing to do.
"Fine, I'll go."
~End of Flashback~
"Oh well" Kai said, as he stifled a yawn "I'm tired so I'll have to kick you out."
"Goodnight Kai."
Kassandra grinned and dashed down the stairs and out the door. Boy, was she going to sleep peacefully.
