Mysterious voice: And now on with the fic!

Kurayami_Tenshi: ::mumbles something about that being her line too::

Chapter 6 - Its MY Room!

"Somehow, I don't think the Bladebreakers are as good as everyone claims they are," said Miyako thoughtfully. "I mean, that match was way too easy."

Reni shrugged. "All the better for us."

"I don't know. They might be hiding something," cautioned Akai in a rare serious mood.

"Hello girls. Your room?"

"Uh.Mr Dickinson said he booked two rooms . . . " began Meia when the receptionist interrupted.

"I'm sorry girls, but one of my staff has sold one of the rooms . . . "

"B-but that means . . . have you got any spare ones?"

"I'm sorry," repeated the receptionist. "But it's peak period now, and we're fully booked."

Suddenly Miyako grinned evilly. "Don't worry. Just give us the other one."

The receptionist handed over a four key cards.

"I hope you enjoy your stay. And, our sincerest apologies for this . . . "

"That's okay. Thanks!"

Miyako turned to face her team. "Let's see how they handle it."

~*~

"Go Dragoon!" yelled Tyson.

A hurricane surrounded Dragoon as it swerved in to attack Drigger, who nimbly dodged the attack.

Kenny scanned the blades. /No where near Miyako's blade . . . how in the world did she get so good/

"Hey, shouldn't we be checking in or something?" asked Max.

"Mr Dickinson said he booked rooms. There's no rush," said Kai, launching Dranzer into another dish. "Now train."

Max didn't ask any more questions, knowing better than to argue with Kai. He launched Draciel into the same dish and watched Dranzer circle Draciel.

They trained until about 6:00 pm, taking a short break in between, in which Rei described his match with Miyako to Tyson. After that, the training was much more intense, as they were determined not to lose the tournament, only two days away.

~*~ A loud growling sound suddenly echoed through the room. Kenny looked up, fingers hovering over the keys, Rei stopped in mid launch, Max froze in the act of catching Draciel, while Kai looked disgusted.

::All stare at Tyson::

"Heh, heh . . . " Tyson smiled weakly, one hand behind his head. "Guess it's time for dinner?"

"Tyson, we just had lunch! It's only . . . 6:45 pm?!" exclaimed Kenny.

"Whoa, calm down Chief," said Rei. /Wonder why Kenny's so.paranoid lately/

"How about calling it quits for today?" suggested Max.

::All turn to Kai::

Shrugging, Kai picked up Dranzer and left the room. "We're checking in first," he called back. Blinking, the rest followed.

~*~

It was very quiet in room 237. The lights were off and curtains drawn as the Dark Angels slept.

However, someone broke that tranquillity, or some people, banging on the door and shouting.

"I wonder who that could be?" drawled Reni sarcastically, waking up and feeling a little annoyed as she drew her waist-long hair into a ponytail.

Meia giggled, sitting up.

The room was quite well furnished, with four single beds in and one sofa bed, along with a large circular eating table, and a well-equipped kitchen.

Reno opened the door, one hand delicately covering her mouth as she yawned sleepily.

"Ahh!"

She was nearly bowled over by the Bladebreakers charging into the room, led by a furious-looking Tyson.

"Who is it?" demanded Miyako, waking up and leaping off the bed into a well- practised fighting crouch. "Oh. Isn't you room 269?"

Tyson glared at her. She glared back.

"Alright. Aka-where's Akai?" enquired Kenny, looking around and seeing only Reni, Meia and Miyako.

"Asleep," replied Reni with a slightly amused smile. "That girl could sleep through a thunderstorm.

Her alarm clock wakes up everyone but her." "Well, what about our problem?" groaned Tyson, looking away from Miyako, who was smiling triumphantly. "We have no room."

"You snooze, you lose," answered Meia with a smirk. "Or in this case you win."

Tyson growled, and seriously looked like he would kill someone (A/N: he is still hungry, you know . . . ) That is, until Max decided to hop onto one of the beds the Dark Angels vacated.

"Hey! Get off!" ordered Reni in her most commanding tone, trying to pull him off. No such luck. Suddenly, Tyson grinned, jumping onto another bed. Rei, after taking a few minutes to adjust to the abrupt change of mood, followed suit.

Kenny settled down in a couch and watched. He didn't want to risk Dizzy getting dropped.

The Dark Angels attacked them with pillows and anything else close to hand.

Kai shook his head at the immature behaviour, and sat down in an empty bed. He heard a muffled sound and looked down.

He saw a pair a startling green eyes, obscured by a mass of dark hair. He smirked. Didn't look like she was going anywhere soon . . .

After several moments, the 'pillow' fight came to an end, both teams declaring a tie.

What are we going to do about the rooms? I mean, sharing it would be . . . kinda difficult," said Rei.

"I've got an idea. We'll take the room, and you can sleep somewhere on the streets," suggested Meia brightly.

"No."

::Silence::

"We could try sharing the room. The problem is, all the beds are single except for the sofa bed." Max's voice trailed off.

"Can we sort this thing up later? I'm hungry . . . " declared Tyson. ::Dark Angels stare at him:: "You're the one who came barging into the room. And now you want to eat?!" Miyako looked at him in amazement. "Well, that's okay with me."

::Bladebreakers fall over anime style::

"You guys go ahead. I'm sleepy." Akai gave a feeble wave before snuggling back down into the blanket.

The two teams left, but Kai stayed behind. /I'm eating later, when Tyson isn't there/

"You can take one of those now," said Akai, giving a half-heated attempt to shove him off 'her' bed. Kai got up and plopped down in the bed closest to hers.

"Aren't you hungry?" "I thought you were sleepy," replied Kai flatly.

*gasp* "You spoke! You actually said something! Wow . . . "

Kai grunted, turning so his back was facing her. /Great . . . now she's going to talk instead of sleep/

~*~

"You so cannot eat more than me," argued Miyako. "I'll beat you any day."

"Bring it on!"

She and Tyson were locked in a furious food battle. Both claimed to eat the most, while the others claimed not to know them.

"Meia, I did a scan on Miyako's blade during her battle with Rei."

Meia nodded, toying with the food.

"How did her stats get so high?"

"Do tell," put in Dizzy.

Smiling coyly, Meia slowly waved her finger from side to side. "Uh ah, no telling team secrets."

"Whoa, check it out!" Max pointed to the mountain of dishes stacked haphazardly on top of one another. /you can literally see is 'growing' . . . /

Tyson and Miyako appeared to have accelerated their pace of eating, food disappearing almost as soon as it touched their plates.

"Aren't you *munch munch* afraid *chomp chomp* that you'll grow fat?" asked Tyson between bites.

"Nope," answered Miyako. "Aren't you?"

"No."

Reni threw a faintly disgusted look at the way they were both shovelling food down their throats.

::Kenny, Rei and Meia sigh.::

~*~

Soon, Akai was asleep again. Kai let out a breath. /Thank God she's not talking/

Akai murmured something in her sleep and rolled over until she almost fell off the bed.

He turned and looked at her. Suddenly, her eyes opened, and he found himself in the focus of her gaze. She smiled sleepily.

~BANG~ The door opened and smashed against the wall. Akai hurriedly faked sleep, Kai copying her. /Let them sort it out/

~*~

"Aww man! Kai's asleep too."

"He has a right to sleep, you know," informed Rei.

Tyson groaned. "I know, but how are we going to sort out this room problem if they're asleep?"

"Well . . . " Miyako smiled cheekily. "We could move those two onto the sofa bed.and we could pull out a mattress from these beds . . . "

"Alright," agreed Rei. Him and Tyson picked up Kai, who promptly 'woke up' and glared at them, while Max picked up Akai, who also 'woke up' and smiled at him.

"Hi. That bed's mine."

Max put her down quickly. There was no saying what would happen when you got a girl mad.

The Dark Angels pulled out a mattress from each bed. That done, they effectively had eight beds, plus a sofa bed.

"Heh . . . good morning Kai . . . (gulp)" Tyson visible quivered under Kai's glare.

"Put me down."

Rei and Tyson hurriedly complied.

The Dark Angels disappeared into the bathroom to change (A/N: Mr Dickinson sent their baggage) while the Bladebreakers remained outside.

After another argument, it was 'decided' that the Dark Angels got the bed while they got the floor.
