Chapter 7 - Swimming? Before a Tournament?
~The next day~
Everyone woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs wafting through the doors.
"Mmm . . . breakfast . . . "
Reno smacked Tyson's hand away with her spatula, ignoring the fact that it was metal, and she had just flipped over an egg with it.
Tyson's dreamy expression vanished as he hopped around, clutching his burnt hand, but avoiding Reni, who was waving her spatula around threateningly.
Meia, Akai and Miyako knew better than to try and steal food off Reni when she was cooking. They had tried when they had first joined up . . . and Tyson getting his hand smacked was a very light punishment.
The Bladebreakers, once they had assembled into the not-so-big kitchen, felt their jaws drop of the ground. It looked like Reni had cooked enough to feed an average person for a month! There were at least fifty plates filled, and she was still cooking! Having run out of plates, she was now stacking the food into pans and bowls (A/N: don't ask, I've never been to a hotel with 'that' many plates before . . . )
"Alright, breakfast is ready," declared Reni, taking 'a few' plates and sitting down at the table.
The Dark Angels and Tyson quickly obeyed, while the rest of the Bladebreakers team hung back.
The twenty or so plates were for them.
"Do you need and invitation?" snapped Reni.
They picked up some food and joined them. Already it was easy to tell an annoyed Reni was not a good one to have around.
"How about swimming?" suggested Miyako suddenly, around fifteen minutes into the meal.
::Bladebreakers look confused::
"Sounds good," agreed Akai. "Alright, let's go then!"
They got up and left rather suddenly, picking up a bag on the way.
"Swimming?" echoed Max, puzzled.
~*~
"We're training now," stated Kai, striding out the door as soon as the task of cleaning the dishes had been taken care of.
"But-" began Tyson when the door closed with a bang. /Sheesh . . .
"Tyson, the tournament's tomorrow," reminded Kenny.
Shock registered in Tyson's face. "Already?!"
"C'mon Tyson," said Rei as he finished stacking the dishes away and dragged Tyson out after him.
~*~
"Go Dranzer," yelled Kai as Dranzer skilfully wove within and around the obstacles set up in the dish with the ease of experience. Then, it swung back around with deadly grace; destroying them all.
"Kai! You could have waited for us you know," huffed Max. Kenny settled down and set up Dizzy's scanning system.
"I want to do another scan on your blades," explained Kenny. "In case we meet someone tough tomorrow."
"What if we're against the Dark Angels tomorrow? I don't think we stand a chance against them." Rei's voice trailed off, recalling Miyako's match.
"C'mon guys. We're gonna win this!" said Tyson, determination flashing in his eyes.
"We're not going to win this by dreaming, Tyson."
They turned to see Kai, who had Dranzer held tightly.
"Kai?"
"This isn't the same as our normal tournaments. We can't afford a single mistake." Kai turned so his back was facing them. "Our weakest link could destroy us."
~*~
The tension obviously felt by the Bladebreakers, and emphasised by Kai's 'words of wisdom' didn't appear to be touching the Dark Angels. They were very.relaxed to say the least.
"Hey!" shrieked Miyako as Meia jumped in right next to her, soaking her fully. "You are so-" She never got a chance to finish that sentence, because Akai had smoothly dived under and dragged her down too.
Struggling back to the surface, Miyako had a dangerous gleam in her eyes as she slowly headed towards the two conspirers.
Reni sighed and shook her head, a smile tugging at the corners of the mouth. /They're still so immature/
~*~
The Bladebreakers winced when they heard an extremely high-pitched shriek, followed by loud splashes. /They're . . . playing?! Right before a tournament?/ Kenny almost couldn't believe his eyes when he saw them acting like they were half their age.
"Oh yeah!"
Before anyone could stop him, Tyson ran towards the pool, pulling off his cap and jacket before diving in.
"Tyson!" yelled someone that sounded an awful lot like Reni. "You got my hair wet!"
::Bladebreakers o.O::
"Swim faster!" advised someone else. A loud slap was heard. "Too late . . . "
They arrived on the scene to see a furious Reni standing over Tyson, who was cowering and nursing a red cheek. Reni's hair was dripping wet, and her blood red eyes were practically glowing with anger.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR ME TO WASH AND DRY MY HAIR?!"
"That's one angry girl," remarked Max. Tyson looked positively petrified, while the rest of the Dark Angels were laughing uncontrollably.
"Are you coming?" called Miyako after mastering her giggles. "Just don't wet Reni's hair."
"IT'S ALREADY WET THANKS TO ONE BLUE-HAIRED FREAK!"
"Hey!" protested Tyson.
"We'll be back," said Rei as him Kenny and Max disappeared back into the rooms.
"Don't leave me alone with them!" yelled Tyson.
Kai smirked as he leaned against the wall. /Let's see Tyson get out of this one/
They smiled as they slowly boxed Tyson into the middle of the pool.
"Poor little Tyson," sang Meia with an evil grin. "Shouldn't have jump in, should he?"
"Ahh!"
~*~
Kai, who was leaning against the wall, winced slightly at what they did.
"Aww.isn't he adorable?" cooed Miyako, patting him on the head.
They had pulled Tyson's hair out of its ponytail and plaited it into two pigtails, like how little girls did them.
Max, Rei and Kenny reappeared dressed in bathers, Tyson and Kai's in a bag they had taken along. "What in the." Kenny's voice faded away as he stared at Tyson in astonishment.
"Not a word," warned Tyson, both cheeks bright red.
~*~
Soon Rei, Kenny and Max joined them, until Kai was the only one not in the pool.
Suddenly, Akai smiled mischievously. She whispered something to Meia, who giggled, and passed the message on to Reni and Miyako.
Akai got out and went for her towel. Kai pointedly ignore her, staring firmly at the ground.
"Aren't you coming in, Kai?" asked Meia.
"..."
"I wouldn't bother," advised Max. He turned to look at Kai and saw Akai sneaking closer towards him. He nudged Tyson, who grinned.
"Hey Kai, come over here a minute," said Rei.
With and annoyed grunt, he reluctantly left the wall and walked nearer to the pools edge. Big mistake.
Sprinting forward with surprising speed, Akai threw her full weight against Kai, who under normal circumstances wouldn't have budged, but since he was heading in that direction . . .
He landed into the pool with a huge splash, amidst laughter. Even Reni, who still looked sulky and was annoyed at her hair being wet again couldn't help smiling at the stunned look on Kai's normally expressionless face.
As he resurfaced, with a now extremely irritated expression, Akai leapt into the pool and abruptly knocked him down again.
"Akai . . . just a suggestion . . . but you might want to get away . . . right about NOW!" cautioned Kenny.
When Kai stood up for the second time, he had a carefully blank expression.
"Heh, heh . . . " Akai looked distinctly nervous and hid behind Max, who was conveniently close by.
