Chapter six
"KAI!!!! Come on, get up you lazy bum!!! It's ten-thirty!!!!" Yelled Kai's Grandmother from the bottom of the stairs. And then she went back to the task of writing her friend Edward an email.
Upstairs, Kai groggily got out of bed and rubbed his eyes, he looked out the window and saw that a new layer of snow had fallen the previous night. He groaned when he remembered that he had to shovel it off the driveway that day. At times like this, he actually missed having servants. He yawned, and stretched slipping out of his bear pajamas, until only his boxers remained. Then he walked over to the window, and looked out at the white landscape before him. So this was his new life. Well he sure liked it.
He sat down on the windowsill ledge and leaned his head on his hand. Tyson had really surprised him yesterday; the old buffoon wasn't as stupid or useless as he thought. He didn't 'hate' Tyson as it was often said; he just thought he was annoying and dumb. Okay, maybe REALLY annoying and dumb, but you get the point. He let a loud sigh, and sneezed, it was cold near the window he realized. And he was only in his boxers; he vaguely wondered why he didn't notice the cold before when a high-pitched whistle broke through his thoughts.
Below the window a group of boys were looking up at him, doing catcalls and whistles. "Hey there hot stuff!! Come on down and we'll make you hotter!!!" The boy and his friends laughed at the comment, while Kai turned a steady tomato red. Kai shut the curtains and sat on his bed. Was it just him, or was everyone who lived in this town, gay?
He sighed and began getting dressed; he wasn't THAT good looking, was he? The reaction from the boys below shocked and disturbed him, but what REALLY disturbed him was that he wasn't angered by the display of attention, actually it made him feel... well appreciated, he liked that feeling.
After he was done dressing, he combed his hair and brushed his teeth. He was dressed plainly in a light t-shirt, and painter's blue jeans with arm guards on each forearm. He even added a loop earring to his pierced ear. Yes, Kai had a pierced ear; he'd never really used it because it wasn't practical when Beyblading, and his Grandfather never liked it. He admired it for a moment, before running downstairs.
"Hey Grandma, what ya doing?" He asked, and sat down beside her. She turned and looked at him, then turned back to the computer.
"Nice earring," She said offhandedly before answering, "I'm trying to send an email to my friend, but it wont go." She gritted her teeth, and let out a frustrated growl when it didn't send, she HATED these stupid things.
"Here, let me try." Kai reached over to the keyboard and pressed a few keys. They waited about a minuet before it sended, then Kai leaned back and grinned, while his Grandmother laughed at her Grandson's way of making it look so easy.
She patted him on the back and said, "Thank you, now how about I make us some breakfast. What would you like?" she got of her chair and looked at him.
Kai thought for a while before answering, "Scrambled eggs." He grinned, his Grandmother made things look so normal, when really he'd hardly known her for two days. He watched her plump figure walk to the kitchen, before returning to his thoughts.
He'd never really noticed it before, but his teammates were all very dear to him. Ray was the intellectual one, the only person he could talk to, because he was more mature than the others, and he was wise in ways too. Max he didn't really know, but he appreciated the way he wasn't dead serious like him, and the way he always looked for the good in people first, before the bad. Tyson was okay at times, but a little too hyper, but he was also showing signs of being very wise and open when he was older, and he would probably be a magnificent blader eventually too. Kenny was very smart, he gave him that, but other than that, he knew little about him, and that little laptop of his was the most annoying thing he'd ever known.
He shook his head, he was thinking GOOD things about his friends, no scratch that, acquaintances. ~Well they're not really acquaintances, you've known them for years.~ Said Kai's conscience.
ACK!!! Now he had a conscience? What was his new life doing to him?
From the kitchen his Grandma smiled knowingly, her little boy was growing up. To tell the truth, she never really got over her own son's death, Jared and her had been very close. And Kai was the spitting image of him; Kai also had this little charm about him that she adored. Then she chuckled and went back to the eggs cooking on the stove.
Kai felt something watching him, and spun just in time to see a fluffy tail move past the window. Kai arched an eyebrow, and grinned, he'd found something to occupy him today. And he couldn't wait to get started.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Tyson)
Tyson got up looked at the clock and groaned, it was late. 9:05 it read, he had Kendo practice in twenty-five minuets. He laughed lightly when he realized that this was WAY earlier than he usually got up, or at least according to his friends. Sometimes he woke up late just to spite Kai, and to see his friend's face get that cute narrowed expression was worth it. Actually when he wasn't training he got up very early compared to when he was training.
He got up and put on his kendo robes (A/N- What are they called?), then he walked over to his dresser mirror and brushed his hair, and then he brushed his teeth and washed his face. After, he ran downstairs to be greeted by his cheery Grandpa.
"Mornin little dude! What can I getch ya?" Tyson's Grandpa produced a wide grin, which was way too energetic for the morning.
Tyson edged away, before doing a salute with his hand and then walking past his Grandpa (Managing to keep his distance) and said, "No thanks Gramps, I'm not hungry." He said as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
His Grandpa's jaw dropped, before he smirked and put his hands on his hips, with a knowing look. "This doesn't have anything with You-Know-Who, does it?"
Then Tyson turned a little red. "Shhhhhhh!!! Not so loud!" he harshly whispered. He waved his hands in a 'quiet' motion.
Tyson's Grandpa all of a sudden became very serious, "Tyson you are not starving yourself to impress one person!" Tyson opened his mouth to protest, he really was NOT hungry, but his Grandpa wouldn't hear of it, "TYSON, EAT NOW!!!"
Tyson groaned, he HATED mornings.
...
...
And he really WASN'T hungry!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Kai)
Kai ducked behind a snow bank, and grinned. His prey was in sight. He'd been following a little stray puppy, whose tail was the one he'd seen from the window. He heard a little high-pitched bark, or yelp, which he swore was a challenge to try and catch the cute thing.
'So, the little rascal knows that I'm following him.' He thought, well then he'd just have to catch him then, wouldn't he? And he ran off, cheeks pink in the cold and wind rushing past him as he gave chase.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Five or ten minuets later)
Kai lay on the ground, out of breath, throat hoarse. While a chitt-su puppy, with short brown and white hair, licked his face. The good natured dog had him chase his cute little body around the block four times before Kai finally caught up with him. And even then he wasn't able to catch him.
"You gave me quite a run there," he told the hyper little dog, who, in turn, licked his neck. Kai laughed, it tickled slightly. He picked up the puppy and cradled him, smiling like an idiot. He'd always wanted a pet, a dog preferably. He found them more attentive to their owners than cats, or other animals. His Grandfather never liked pets, and they weren't allowed them at the abbey. He remembered when he asked for a pet on his sixth birthday. He'd been answered by a hard slap, and a beating from Boris.
He walked up to his new homes door; it was a large two story house with a fairly big yard. It was wooden with a rock chimney, and to Kai it looked like a big cottage that should be out in the middle of nowhere.
He cradled the puppy and opened the door, ready to argue with all he had to keep his new friend. When two large hands grabbed the bundle of fur from him.
"OHHHHHH, he's so sweet!!" Kai's Grandmother huggled the puppy while it licked her chin. "You're a cute little thing aren't you? Aren't you?" the puppy barked in response to the praise. Her tone suddenly changed when she said, "Smart too. Now you come with me, we're going to clean you up, and feed you." She said to the puppy, while walking toward the living room, leaving a shocked Kai at the doorstep.
"Okaaay, right then." He rolled his eyes and followed, sticking his hands in one of his many pockets. Hearing many yelps and laughs from the living room, he followed with more enthusiasm than before, he couldn't wait to clean up his new puppy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Tyson- Kendo practice)
Tyson closed his eyes and imagined his opponent, letting all his strength flow through his body as he struck; creating soft whistles as the air around it moved, sliding across the kendo stick's smooth surface. He listened to all sounds that winter had to offer, until even the slightest movement caught his attention, he even felt his Grandpa's everlasting gaze on him, as the old man studied his Grandson.
Tyson was coming along well. He thought, though secretly he knew he alone wasn't the only one to be congratulated. It was Tyson's will to impress those he loved that had made him so in tune with his duty. He loved his Grandson with all his heart, and supported all he did. Even when they discovered he liked boys and not girls.
Tyson finished his training and opened his eyes, he squinted as the light hit his unadjusted pupils. He stretched and turned to his Grandpa, who was standing at the windowsill his hands behind his head.
"Hey Gramps, can I go out and play now?" Tyson asked.
Tyson's Grandpa smiled when his Grandson used the word 'play' and nodded. Watching him run out of the room, a trail of clothes in his wake. Tyson's Grandpa sighed and picked up all his Grandson's Kendo clothes, yelling after him to pick them up next time. But he was too late, Tyson was already out the door, playing in the snow. He shook his head slightly and prepared for his next class of Kendo students.
Outside, Tyson dove into the snow. It rarely snowed in Japan, so he enjoyed it when it came. He lay down and looked at the gray sky, feeling the cold breeze blow across his face, a few snowflakes fell from above, landing on his face. He smiled and opened his mouth, letting a few snowflakes fall into his mouth. Life was good, even without being rich or having a sweetheart to warm up to on cold nights.
He was so comfortable, he could fall asleep, but he was wise enough not to. In fear of being covered with snow and suffocating to death, he got up and checked his remarkably. 'cool' watch. He had about two hours until he would head to his beyblade practice. He needed something to occupy him, he saw a tree, 'That could be fun.' He thought.
He walked over to the fairly large cherry tree, and began piling snow around the base, he was making a snow fort. Now he only wished that a certain slate haired boy could help him make it.
