Chapter 4 ~ Dad Comes Home ~
Alkira turned around. "Dad?" she asked.
There was a man standing in the main hallway. He set down his briefcase. Alkira ran down the stairs and hugged him. "Alkira, my, you've grown," he said.
"Dad, are you trying to say I'm fat?" she laughed.
"Never, I just think that you've grown taller in two years," he said. "Where's Kyo?"
"Kyo!" Alkira shouted. The little girl came from nowhere and jumped into her father's arms.
"Where're the boys?" he asked. The three guys came down the stairs. "Hello again boys," he said. They shook hands. The Bladebreakers came out of the rooms. "Um, and who are these young men?" Alkira's father asked.
"Dad! Let me introduce you to Kenny, Max, Tyson, Rei, and Kai," Alkira said indicating them. "They're the Bladebreakers. They needed a place to stay for a while."
"Alright," he said. He set down Kyogome.
"Dad, can we?" Alkira asked smiling. "Please?"
Her father smiled. "Fine, come on." They walked to the staircase. Her father pulled up on a metal link to reveal a passageway. Alkira ran passed her dad. Then Kyo and their father came. The Bladebreakers followed Jake, David and Kavien. At the end of the passage Alkira stopped and looked back. She caught the eye of Kai. She then turned and jumped into the room. Soon everyone had jumped in except Kai who had just come to the opening.
"What the?" Kai asked looking at the floating people.
"Woohoo! No gravity!" Alkira shouted. She turned to a wall and boosted off of it. She landed in gravity next to Kai. "Come on!" she said shoving him out. She then jumped back out.
"It's so disorienting!" Tyson shouted.
"I love it!" said Max laughing.
Kenny was waving his arms. "I'm not going anywhere!"
Alkira boosted off another wall and to a drawer. She opened it and took out a rubber bounce ball. "Hey Kai!"
Kai turned around. "What?" He growled.
"Catch!" She shouted. She threw the ball. It hit Kai sending him into the padded wall. The ball came back at her. She caught it and laughed.
"I'll get you for that!" Kai said. He boosted off of the wall and went straight for Alkira.
"Alrighty!" Alkira boosted off the wall again and she pushed off of Kai. Which sent Kai down to the bottom.
"Alkira's acting like a little hyper active child," Kenny said to Max.
"She is isn't she, Chief? Eh, at least it's funny to watch. Kai never knows what's coming!" Max laughed.
Alkira launched herself off the wall and landed in the gravity zone. "Enough for me, that makes me increasingly hungry!" she laughed.
"Me too," shouted Tyson. "Now, how do I get out of here? .There goes that disorienting feeling again."
"No puking in zero-g, Tyson!" Alkira said jumping back in. She caught Tyson by the arm, then boosting off the wall then gliding to gravity. After they landed Alkira turned around and smiled to her dad she then mockingly saluted to the rest of them. Her and Tyson ran to the other end of the tunnel and out from under the stairs.
"Alkira?" said Tyson at the other side.
"Yeah?" Alkira turned and looked at Tyson. "What is it?"
"You like Kai, don't you?" Tyson asked.
"Is it that obvious?" Alkira asked, slightly blushing.
"To me yeah," Tyson laughed. "Anything I can do to help?"
"Wha?" Akira looked at him confused. "No. just leave as is. hehe." She nervously scratched the back of her head. "Lets go get something to eat," she said. Right as they were about to enter the kitchen, a knock came to the door. Alkira walked over and opened it. "Can I help you?" she asked. A boy her age stood there, in the rain, soaked to the bone. As soon as the door opened more, he collapsed into Alkira's arms. She dragged him in and closed the door. She put her fingers to her lips and whistled. A few seconds later, everyone came from the zero-g room and Tyson came from the kitchen with a foot-long sandwich.
"Alkira, what's wrong?" Her father asked.
Alkira looked down at the boy. "We have a problem."
"Jake, David," Alkira's father said. "Help me get him to R-B-5." The guys nodded and helped carry the newcomer to the fifth room on the right at the bottom. Alkira stumbled a little and collapsed onto the tile.
Kavien ran over and felt her forehead. "She's burning up," he whispered to himself. He picked up Alkira in his arms and took her to her room.
That night the strangest dream occurred to Alkira. She was sitting on the back of Meerka. The giant meerkat was running through a meadow. A raven and a phoenix argued in a tree. A turtle, and a dragon play-fought with each other. And practically flying by the meerkat and almost knocking it off balance was a white tiger and a gray fox. The meerkat stopped and turned around, it looked curiously at the gray fox as it fought the tiger. The fox destroyed the tiger, then the dragon, and turtle, and phoenix, then soon after vanquished the raven. Only Alkira and the meerkat remain. The fox approached the meerkat and bowed. Alkira awoke with a stifled cry. Kavien sat at the foot of her bed. "They're sealed," Alkira whispered.
"What is?" Kavien asked. He dampened the washcloth on her head.
"The bit beasts, they're sealed inside the beyblades," Alkira sighed. Quickly she sat up. "Tell the Bladebreakers not to fight with their beyblades. They won't win!"
"Lay back down. I'll tell them later. You need to rest. I don't want you frizzing out on us," Kavien said forcing her back down.
"Don't forget to tell them." Alkira said drifting back to sleep. When she awoke again. Kavien was asleep. She stumbled out of bed. When she opened the door to walk out, Kai was standing there. Kavien had paid him to keep guard and make sure she didn't leave her room. "Kai," she said sickly.
"Go back to bed," Kai said coldly.
She hugged Kai. "I'm sorry," she said.
Kai stood there shocked. "Wha?"
"I've been so vile to you, and yet I like you so much. Please forgive me," she said.
"You're sick, you don't know what you're saying," Kai said. He would have to keep his patience with her right now. She too sick to know what she's saying, he kept saying to himself.
She placed her head against him. "Check on Dranzer. beware of the gray fox. He'll seal him away."
"You need your sleep. Go back to bed," Kai said quietly.
"I love you, Kai," she said.
"GO!" Kai growled. He turned her away and shoved her into her room.
Kavien was awake again. Alkira lie back in bed. He put the damp washcloth back on her forehead. "Rest, and hope to god you don't remember that tomorrow," Kavien said.
"Remember what?" she asked tiredly. Kavien smiled. Alkira drifted back to sleep.
Kavien had heard everything. Kavien walked out of the room and softly closed the door behind him. "It was as much a surprise to you as to me, Kai," Kavien said to Kai who leaned against the wall.
"Who said I was surprised," Kai said.
"I guess I just assumed then," Kavien said walking away. He stopped and looked back to Kai. "How do you feel?"
"What do you mean?" Kai asked.
"About her. How do you feel about Alkira?" Kavien asked.
"There are no feelings," Kai said.
"Then make that known to her. If you break her heart, I'll have to break you," Kavien said. For the first time, Kai actually took Kavien seriously. Kavien narrowed his eyes at Kai. Kai nodded.
