Chpt.5 – The Blade Breakers Meet the Lucky Sevens

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Come meet the Lucky Sevens," Amara led the Blade breakers into the stadium room. A boy and two girls were already in the room with Mr. Dickinson.

"Well boys, I leave you in my niece's capable hands," Mr. Dickinson hugged Amara before making his way towards the door. "Have fun everyone." The two teams stood across from each other with Amara between them. No one moved or spoke; all they did was stare at each other.  

"So are you going to introduce us or what?" the only boy on the other team asked breaking up the staring contest.

       "Yeah of course…right this is Mico Sterling," Amara pointed to a small girl with short blonde hair and green eyes half hidden by a pair of glasses. Mico wore tan three quarter length pants and a green polo shirt. She waved shyly and smiled at the boys.

"This is Nicholai Ling." The tall black haired boy with eyes the same chocolate brown as Kiki's, stepped forward and shook their hands. He had a white bandana around his head, holding back his spiky hair, similar in style to the one Rei wore but he had a red seven in the middle instead of a ying yang. He had on a gray hoody and red shorts. "He's Kiki's twin brother."

"And you already met Kiki yesterday," Amara smiled at her best friend.

"Of course we already know you guys are, the World Famous Blade Breakers." Nicholai said in a mocking voice.

"Hey Tyson ready to play," Kiki flipped her perfect black hair.

"You bet I am," Tyson called back to her. They stood eyeing each other. Tyson looked ready to kill, while Kiki's face was a little smugger.

"We don't have to start right away you guys," Amara said not wanting Kiki and Tyson to break into a fight.

"Awww, come on Ams," Kiki moaned. "Let me at him."

"Let's get to know each other first," Amara tried again to calm her psyched friend.

"Yeah, listen to Amara, sis," Nicholai stepped in. "We have all day."

"Fine," Kiki finally agreed. "But I will battle you Tyson."

"Count on it," he said back.

"So what do you want us to talk about?" Nicholai asked Amara.

"Uhh," Amara wasn't really too sure.

"Well I have a question," Kenny stepped out from behind the Blade breakers. "Why is there no info on your team?"

"You must have been looking in the wrong place, Chief," Amara smiled. "Mico will show you."  Mico walked over to Kenny and began to type briskly on Dizzi's keyboard. "You could have just asked me you know."

"Trying to get the scoop on us behind our backs were you?" Kiki poked Tyson.

"No," he rubbed his arm. "Well yeah, but come on you guys know all about us."

"That's true," Kiki agreed. "But it's kina hard not to when you guys are on the cover of almost every blading magazine there is."

"Here," Mico turned Dizzi's screen to face everyone. "The official Lucky Sevens web page." Everyone crowded around Mico and Kenny.

"Wow, this is a great site," Kenny commented. "Who designed it?"

"Mico would be our computer genius," Amara nudged her shy friend.

"Well, this is amazing," Kenny continued to gawk at the screen.

"Thanks," Mico blushed at his compliment.

"You all wear the number seven," Max read the computer screen.

"You bet," Kiki pointed to the red seven on her white tank top. Nicholai pointed to the red seven on the middle of his bandanna and Mico showed off her seven necklace and matching earrings.

"What about Amara?" Kenny asked realizing the captain hadn't revealed her seven

"You must have one too," Max, said. "You're the captain after all."

"Of course she does," Nicholai gave them a "duh" look.

"Show them," Kiki sent her friend a knowing smile. Amara rolled her eyes, Kiki seemed to think that Amara's seven was a big deal.

"I don't know if they can handle it," Amara laughed with Kiki. Soon Mico and Nicholai joined in with their laughter. The poor Blade breakers were left in the dark.

"Awwww come on tell us," Tyson grumbled.

"What's the big deal?" Max asked. "It's not like it's tattooed to your butt or anything. Is it?"

"Wouldn't be too far off," Kiki laughed. This comment raised a few eyebrows.

"Alright I'll show you," Amara said in fake reluctance. She took off her white hoody and turned so she had her back towards the group. On the back of Amara's neck was a red seven outlined in black.

"Whoa, yours is permanent," Tyson exclaimed.

"Yup, an eternal remembrance of my rebellious years," Amara chuckled. No one else really knew what to say after that causing an awkward silence.

"So you all have bit beasts," Rei read their stats on the website breaking the silence.

"Yeah wanna meet em," Nicholai raised his eyebrows, challenging Rei.

"Let's go," Rei accepted the challenge.

3…2…1…Let it Rip!

Everyone else turned to see Rei and Nicholai launch their blades into the dish. Nicholai's blade started right away in its attack. Rei countered every attack he was hit with. Amara groaned. So much for having some friendly conversation before the blading began. Kai noticed the disappointment on her face and walked closer to stand beside her.

"So much for that," Amara said to herself not knowing Kai was now beside her.

"Well this was suppose to be a practice wasn't it," he asked quietly so only she could understand what he said. Amara jumped at his soft low voice in her ear.

"I know," she sighed. "I just don't really feel up to blading so I…"

"So stopping everyone else would stop you from having to," Kai finished her though. Amara nodded her head. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah of course," Amara shrugged off his concern. She put on a cheery smile for him but when she turned from his eyes her face fell back to its previous frown.

"Go Tazmac," Nicholai called on his wolf bit beast.

"Go Drigger," Rei shouted out shortly after. Both beasts roared from their blades ready to take the other down.

"Time to end this," Nicholai barked to Tazmac. "Take out Drigger." Tazmac took a run at Drigger but was stopped before he could get him. Nicholai watched in shock as his blade few out of the dish and landed on the ground in front of him.

"Good match," Rei extended his hand to Nicholai.

"Yeah you too," Nicholai shook Rei's hand, still a little dumfounded.

"That was a great match," Amara walked up to Rei and Nicholai. "Why don't we all get out of here for awhile, we don't need to blade all day." Everyone stared at Amara; her teammates look especially confused at her statement.

"Ams…are you sure," Kiki's face showed deep concern for her friend.

"Of course I am," Amara looked at her best friends face. "I just thought maybe everyone would like to go for a swim or something. After all the guys are on vacation."

"Sure that sounds great," Rei was getting the vibe that Amara did not want them to blade anymore. He didn't understand it but he didn't want to make the situation difficult. "We're all still a bit jet lagged. A swim sounds perfect."

"I agree with Rei," Max chimed in, following suit. With that they all agreed that a swim was what they needed. Kiki wasn't too sure what her friend was up to but she was going to find out.

The Blade breakers all headed back up to their rooms to change into their swim trunks. Amara followed slowly behind them. Kiki followed Amara and once they were in her room Kiki attacked.

"What is up with you?" Kiki interrogated her friend.

"What are you talking about?" Amara questioned back, ignoring her friend as best she could and dug through her drawer for her swimsuit.

"I'm talking about your unenthusiastic attitude towards blading," Kiki stood with her hands on her hips in a "don't even think about lying to me" pose. "It's not like you at all. You live for blading."

"I'm allowed to not be in the mood Kiki," Amara shot back. "And I don't need you to baby me every time I'm unhappy. I can handle it okay."

"Ams, you're my best friend and I was worried. I really don't want you to go all doom and gloom suicidal again," Kiki hugged Amara.

"I really don't want to talk about that right now Kiki, that was almost three years ago," Amara hugged her back. "I'll try to be happier today."

"Promise?" Kiki stepped back from her friend.

"Promise, now get out so I can change," Amara smiled.

"Fine, see you downstairs," Kiki left the room leaving Amara alone. Amara found her black one-piece suit at the bottom of her drawer under all her other clothes. She was just about to change when she heard a knock at her door.

"Kiki, I told you I'd meet you downstairs," Amara shouted. "I don't need a babysitter, I'm just changing I have no sharp objects or anything else that I can use to cause bodily harm in here with me don't worry." She planned on ignoring the knocking and eventually it stopped. When she was finally ready to face everyone by the pool Amara opened her bedroom door. She made sure that the door was closed and turned down the hallway.

"What the…" Amara jumped when she came face to face with Kai who was leaning against the wall right outside her bedroom door. It was bad enough that a dressed Kai disarmed her but seeing him in navy swim trunks and no shirt threw her totally off. "What are you doing down here?" She managed to mumble, trying not to stare at his toned body.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you…I…" now it was Kai's turn to be thrown off. Amara's black one-piece swimsuit and red Hawaiian print boardshorts showed every feminine curve on her.

"Oh bugger, that was you at the door," Amara closed her eyes and groaned. Kai nodded. "Double bugger." Amara was mortified.

"Forget it," he said taking her hands away from her face. "It's between us. You don't have to tell me anything and I won't ask you anything about it."

"Thanx Kai," Amara sighed. "We better get downstairs before they wonder what's up." Amara led the way down the curved staircase to the indoor poolroom in the back of the house.

The rest of the group was already in the pool except Kenny and Mico who were sitting at one of the tables comparing computer tips. Kiki was in her glory with all the attention on her, well Tyson, Rei, and Max. Kiki wore a red two-piece swimsuit with a white seven in the middle of the halter-top, which showed off her perfectly tanned body. She wasn't actually in the pool with the guys but all eyes were on her as she sat on the side. Tyson drooled at her from his inner tube drifting around in the water.

"Kiki, why don't you actually get wet for once," Nicholai harassed his twin from his place on an air mattress. 

"And ruin a perfect hair day? Never," she flashed a sweet smile at her brother.

"Kiki, when are you going to realize water won't hurt you," Amara laughed entering the room with Kai. Everyone turned his or her attention to entering duo.

"And what were you two doing?" Nicholai accused, looking not too happy.

"It's none of your concern Nicholai," Kiki snapped at her brother. "You're not the boss of what she does anymore."

"He never was the boss of me. Emphasis on the NEVER! Never has and never will," Amara corrected. "And as for Kai and me, we just ended up walking downstairs at the same time. There is nothing wrong about that." Amara was fuming. "How dare you try to lay claim on me, Nicholai Ling."  She ran off the diving board and let the cool water simmer down her rising temper. They all watched Amara as she swam the length of the pool coming up in the shallow end. Her head came out of the water a few feet from where Max was sitting on the steps.

"Ams, I…" Nicholai began once Amara was above water.

"Save it, I'm not in the mood," Amara grabbed a towel to wrap around her wet body and exited the pool area. Nicholai tried to go after her but Kai put his arm out to block him.

"Let her go," he told the younger boy.

"Why should I? You're not the boss of her," Nicholai shoved Kai out of the way.

"And I believe she just said you weren't either." Nicholai glared at Kai.

"I'm outta here," Nicholai grabbed his stuff and stormed out of the room.

"How does he expect to leave?" Kiki thought our loud. "We came in my car and I have the keys with my stuff."

"Not anymore you don't," Mico answered her confused friend. "He just grabbed the keys from the table you left them on when he took his stuff."

"Great, what a nice brother I have," Kiki grumbled. "Guess I'm staying here."

"Yeah, me too," Mico piped up. "In case you forgot I came with you too."

"You don't seem to happy about that," Tyson was a little confused about their unenthusiastic impressions about staying at the house with them.

"Well with the mood Amara is in…"

"I heard that Kiki," Amara appeared in the doorway with her arms across her chest. She leaned on the doorpost watching them after she saw Nicholai storm out and drive away. "I'm no in a "mood" and I wanted you and Mico to stay for dinner anyway."

"Ok Ams whatever you say," Kiki smiled at her friend. "As long as you're cooled down."

"Oh I am," Amara walked over to where Kiki was at the edge of the deep end dangling her feet into the water. "But are you?" With that Amara pushed Kiki into the water.

"AMARA!!!!" Kiki sputtered when she pulled her head above water. "I'm gonna KILL you! You ruined my perfect hair day." Amara threw her head back and laughed. Everyone else wasn't sure what to do.

"The expression on your face was priceless Keeks," Amara laughed again. "If only I had a picture of…WHAT THE… AHHHHH… SPLOOSH!!!! Amara was tackled into the water by Tyson.

"TYSON!!!" now it was Amara's turn to sputter. "You are soooooo DEAD!!! With that she jumped on his back pushing him under the water. They were soon joined by Max who was called into the fight by Tyson who needed some help getting away from Amara's clutches. Then Rei decided to help Amara to make it a little fairer, even though she seemed to be doing okay on her own. Kiki who had evacuated the area as soon as the fight broke out sat on the sidelines with Kai. Mico and Kenny were too interested with the computer (and each other) to notice the fight behind them.

"Quite the fighter isn't she?" remarked Kiki when she noticed Kai's eyes had not left Amara since she started the fight.

"Uh huh," Kai nodded not moving his gaze.

"She should be after eight years in karate," Kiki continued. "You both have a lot in common you know. Being raised by a relative and living alone in huge houses with no real friends."

"Do you have a point?" Kai tore his eyes off Amara to look at Kiki. Kiki blushed sheepishly.

"Well… I think you two would be good for each other that's all," she managed to answer.

"Do you?" Kai smirked ever so slightly. "Want to know what I think?" Kiki slowly nodded her head, not sure if she really wanted to know but curiosity go the best of her. "I think you should butt out." He smiled at her and then stood up to leave.

"Well I…" Kiki was a little stunned. "FOEGET IT KAI HIWATARI, I TAKE IT ALL BACK!!!" She screamed at his back. He only continued walking.

"Kiki what are you shouting about," Amara asked, gasping for breath as she came out of the water.

"Nothing, Kai's just being a jerk," Kiki pouted a bit.

"Kiki, don't insult my guests," Amara stood up for Kai.

"He's always like that though," Tyson added while drying himself off with one of the towels provided.

"Not always," Rei also stood up for Kai. "He generally keeps his thoughts to himself unless you piss him off."

"What did you say that pissed him off?" Amara asked knowing what her friend was capable of.

"You assume that it was something I said," Kiki tried to act innocent. Amara gave her a look and the truth came out. "Ok fine, I told him that you two would be good for each other."

"You what?!?" it was Amara's turn to be pissed.

"And then he told me to butt out." Kiki went on, still not too sure about what her error had been.

"I agree with him," Amara was a little embarrassed. "Butt out!" She called back over her shoulder as she left.

"Man they are more alike than I though," Kiki thought out loud.

"Not that much," Tyson corrected her. "Amara is a lot friendlier than Kai is, a lot believe me. They just have the same views about you butting in on their lives." Kiki was stunned at his comment. "Looks like we have something in common though." When he said this Kiki's frown turned into a smile.

"What would that be?"

"We both like to piss off Kai," Tyson smiled at Kiki who gave him a flirty smile back.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well what do you think??? Are Amara and Kai the same or do you agree with Tyson that they're not??? Well you'll have to read on to find out how much alike they truly are!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!
