Starting Over

Chapter Eight

      Eriol fidgeted, the reason for this... he was outside Ranma's apartment and wondering if he should visit or not. With Sakura transforming all the

cards in a few days time he wanted to spend more time with his friends, but

why did visiting them make him feel like a little kid... probably the fact that

he had a kids body.

      Reincarnation sucked, especially if you were only half a reincarnation.

      'To knock or not to knock, not that is the question' he thought and he had to smirk, that was pretty much copywriting one of the famous lines from a Shakespear play.

      "Hi Eriol," a voice said suddenly from behind him, totally startled the blue haired teen spun around with a surprised eepp... acting exactly like every kid his age would.

      "Ranma, don't do that," he said once he got his heartbeat back under control, the raven-haired teen smirked his sapphire eyes twinkling.

      "Sorry, but sometimes your so jumpy it's fun to surprise you," Ranma said still smirking, Eriol sweatdropped... Ranma definitely reminded him of one of his siblings in the past.

      "Ummm, it Kari or Takao about?" he asked shifting his body nervously,

for a few moment Ranma's eyes seemed to look off into the distance.

      "Both of them are home," Ranma said coming back to reality, Eriol blinked.

      "Are you okay Ranma, there's no way you can tell if there home from out here?" he asked concerned, he had felt no magic in those moments so there was

no way for Ranma to have checked. He hoped Ranma was okay, he didn't want his new friend to be slightly crazy in the head.

      "Nope, fine as always," Ranma said, Eriol was about to respond when the door to the apartment opened in front of them.

      "Hi Ranma, oh hi Eriol," Kari said seeing them, next to her Takao blinked.

      "Hi," Eriol said blinking, maybe Ranma knew what he was talking about after all.

      "You have got to tell me how you did that?" Eriol said, Ranma smirked as they stepped inside the apartment.

      "Get in line," Takao said dryly, Kari only giggled as she closed the door behind the two.

***

      Eriol laughed heavily as Ranma told another hilarious joke, for the last half-hour the group had been telling the most outrageous jokes. Eriol himself was quite red in the face, so were the other two children.  Suddenly a buzzer sound filled the air; Ranma smiled at them and ran to the kitchen. Curious the three children followed, their eyes widened in delight as Ranma pulled a sheet of cookies from the oven.

      "Chocolate," Takao said happily, this caused Kari and Eriol to giggle.

      "No eating them yet, they have to cool down some first or you'll scorch your mouth," Ranma said smirking, the three children groaned. Eriol loved chocolate, his favorite memories as a child as Clow Reed was his oldest brother making Chocolate cookies.

      "Awwww," Takao said making a tragic face, smiling Ranma shooed them from the apartment's kitchen.

      "You'll have some later," he told them, Eriol sighed.

      'They smell so good' he thought.

      "By the way Eriol," Ranma said suddenly, Eriol looked up at the raven-haired teen.

      "..." He said.

      "Catch," Ranma said tossing something, quickly Eriol caught the object which was small and circular in size and shape.

      "What is it?" he asked, Ranma grinned.

      "Just look at it silly," Ranma said, Eriol blushed, and looked down at the object in his hands.

      It was a beyblade; it was gold, white and had bits of red on it. Looking at the top of it he was shocked, it had a bit beast in it. The creature looked like a golden feline with reddish highlights around the face, its pointy ears and paws. It also had bird like wings, it also had a sun marking in its chest.

      "Wow..." he said in shock, Ranma smiled.

      "I thought you'd like it," the teen said, Eriol looked at him eyes wide.

      "Why are you giving me this?" he asked, Ranma smiled.

      "I like you, you've been a good friend to Kari and Takao. Also that bit beast who is called 'SolRaito' by the way seems to fit you, and I've seen the way you've looked at our beyblades," Ranma said, Eriol smiled.

      "Thank you, but you'll have to teach me how to use it," Eriol said softly, Ranma smiled.

      "I know, by the way you need a nickname," Ranma said, Eriol looked at him startled.

      "Whatever for?" he asked confused, Ranma grinned.

      "I give one to everyone, even Kari and Takao have one," Ranma told him, the two children nodded in agreement.

      "I guess, but if I don't like it I won't let you call me that," Eriol said frowning, Ranma continued to grin.

      "Don't worry you will like it," Ranma said.

      "..." Eriol said; Ranma looked at him thoughtfully.

      "I have the right name for you, 'Sol'... as in the sun... you seem to have the feeling of the sun to me," Ranma said thoughtfully, Eriol found himself grinning.

      "Sol... I like it," he said thoughtfully.

      "Thought so," Ranma smirked.

      "So what are your nicknames?" he asked the other three in the room, laughing they told him.

      Wufei glared, it wasn't his idea to come to earth.

      But no... the braided baka just had to see this beyblade tournament that was taking place in Japan. Yet why did they have to get here now, they had a full week before it happened.

      "Yo, Wuman," Duo cheered running to the Chinease boy, Wufei glared at the American pilot hating that nickname.

      "What is it Maxwell," he growled, Duo's violet eyes twinkled.

      "I got us all rooms at a nearby hotel, Heero's already there," Do said cheerfully, Wufei wanted to cry... why did Heero leave him with the idiot.

      "Lead the way," Quatre said smiling, Wufei was glad that at least the blond hadn't wandered off... he had no idea where Trowa was.

***

Meanwhile:

      Trowa stared at the feline in the Zoo cage intently; his emerald eyes stared in amber eyes.

      He so wanted to feel it's fur under his hand, unfortunately the zookeeper was in front of him seemingly knowing his thought.

      He promised himself something though, before he left readington he would pet the majestic feline in front of him.

***

      In another part of Japan four pre-teen gathered, these were the Bladebreakers ready for travel. They only had one lead on the blader of Dragoon, Readington.

      'Soon, we'll be a team again' Kai thought.
