Ok, I did the introduction already so I'll just carry on with the story then... oh yeah, pls review!!! I feel so neglected... *teardrop*
Well, read on, what are you waiting for?
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
"I hope you got us here this early for a reason... humph..." Surprisingly, it was Rei who was grumbling this morning.
Tyson stared at Rei in disbelief. "Get out of here, who are you and whadd'ya do to our pal Rei?" He demanded.
"Nothing, 'cause I AM Rei. Now shut up and leave me be, will you?" Rei retorted, folding his arms and glowering at him and his other teammates.
"No, Tyson's got a point this time...Hey, Rei buddy, something bothering you? Anything you wanna talk about?" Max, being Max, had to be well, Max.
Rei glared at him. That was so ...Max. But even Rei in a foul mood couldn't ignore his friends completely. Plus he could see that Max was really concerned, even if the rest of the team weren't. "Well, you know... well... the usual stuff... you know..." Rei hesitated. Max's face was as blank as an empty sheet of paper; he clearly didn't know.
Rei grew uncomfortable and stared at the table, as if expecting the answer to pop out from within the piece of wood. Well, Rei was in for a major disappointment.
"Girl trouble." The casual reply came from an unexpected source. So casual was the reply, it was almost as if Rei had girl trouble every day of the year. And maybe he did.
The whole team turned to glance at their team captain.
As usual, Kai was doing what he did most of the time, which was exactly nothing.
"Hey. Hello everyone, have you forgotten what you were called here for? It's VERY IMPORTANT!" Kenny was very agitated. So what else was new. The Bladebreakers glanced at him in amusement. Kenny scowled at them. HE was supposed to be the centre of attention here, the main attraction, not Kai. Or Rei. THEY attracted enough attention as it was.
"Carry on, don't let them stop you," Hilary told Chief in her snootiest voice.
If looks could kill, the one the Bladebreakers shot her definitely would. Three times over. " Go on, Chief, don't keep us in suspense," Rei groused.
"Ahem." Kenny cleared his throat for emphasis. Not very dramatic. He was about to try again when he realized that the others were about to fall asleep. With the exception of Kai. With his eyes closed, he could very well be asleep. "I got this email the day before..." was as far as Kenny got before Tyson interrupted. "What?! You got that mail three days before and you're only telling us now?" he burst out incredulously.
Kenny adjusted his tie uncomfortably. "Erm...Actually it's two days before..."
"Whatever. The point IS," Tyson paused to let the guilt set in. He wasn't let down. "We're FRIENDS. Friends don't keep secrets from each other!"
Kenny was only pretending to be guilty. He knew that was what Tyson wanted so he gave him The Guilty Look. It was so much easier to have Tyson satisfied than to have Tyson otherwise." Hey, ok, I'm sorry ok? Look, do you want to know what the email was about or not... 'cause I've got plenty of other stuff to do..." That was a lie, but what Tyson didn't know couldn't hurt him.
Pouting, Tyson shut up and let Kenny talk. Finally. "Anyway, the letter is to inform us that we've been chosen to enroll in this really prestigious Beyblading school, Bladers Paradise. This is an opportunity not to be missed, really, you don't know how lucky we are to be chosen."
"What kind of School is that? Bladers' Paradise? Sounds more like a hotel or amusement park than a school..." Tyson commented.
"Shouldn't we check with the BBA first? Like, I don't know, this could be a phony you know... or like that 'school' in Russia..." Max asked doubtfully. Shifting slight in his chair, the blonde eyed Kai cautiously, as though Kai would jump up any minute and attack him. He didn't know. Kai was not known to get into foolish fights over petty things like that but who knew what Kai was known to do. The guy was unpredictable.
"I have, that's what I did yesterday. I didn't want to get your hopes up so I went ahead to ask Mr Dickenson first. And good news, the school's totally legal, they've checked. So no evil Beybladers out to get us, or evil grandfathers out to take over the world either. We can set off tomorrow, I've already booked the plane tickets, or rather, Mr Dickenson did so all of you have no need to worry. Everything's going fine. Right Dizzi?" Referring to his laptop.
"Yup. All according to plan." A mechanical voice answered. Kenny grinned at his team members who returned the gesture, with one exception. The slate- haired teen at the back had finally opened his dark, mysterious eyes. Gazing at the laptop, he couldn't shake off the feeling that the laptop was not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
"Tyson, where do you think you're going, camping in the wilderness?" Rei seemed in a much better mood than yesterday and his teammates took it as a sign that whatever girl trouble he had got himself into had been resolved.
Max laughed, in his usual cheerful manner. "Yeah, and I spwy with mwy wittle eyes..." weighing a long, heavy package in his hand. "A TENT?" He turned to Tyson, totally bewildered. Had he never gone to boarding school before? "Tyson are you running a fever? 'Cause in my whole experience in boarding school no one, I repeat, no one has ever brought a tent. Or a pillow. Or a sleeping bag. Or a, what is this?!" He thrust everything back into Tyson's already over-laden arms. Which were starting to show little signs of weakness. If you call trembling uncontrollably "little".
Rei took some of the stuff into his own arms and gestured for Max to do the same. He had to, or he wouldn't be able to see Tyson's head. "Tyson, how are you planning to get all these... these... stuff on the plane? If you want to put it as luggage, you'll have to wait for an awfully long time for all of these to appear..."
"Ok, ok. I get your point. Now, help me trash it ok?" Tyson griped. Talk about inconsiderate.
If we can find a bin large enough. Rei mused. Max was quaking with silent laughter. "Hey Kai, a little help here?" He frowned. "Kai?"
"I'll help." Kenny had suddenly appeared and being the helpful person he was, offered to lend a helping hand obligingly. "And yeah, speaking of which, where is Tyson? I haven't seen him, have either of you?"
Rei and Max exchanged a glance before bursting into laughter. Leaving a very disgruntled Kenny scowling at them. He sweared, someday he'd have his revenge on the pair of jokers, forever having their own jokes and refusing to let anyone else in.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
Kai Hiwatari. The captain of the Bladebreakers was watching the whole scene unfold from high above. He believed in being prepared and always followed through with whatever he believed. Just like he was doing now. He thought that if someone was out to get them and their bitbeast AGAIN, they would be keeping a close watch on the four of them.
Scanning the crowd of holidaymakers and tourists, he shook his head in frustration. No one he could see was watching them. Maybe he was wrong but the feeling of being under surveillance was so strong he could almost taste it...
Heaving a huge sigh he turned and resigned himself to the fact that he was just being plain paranoid and that his gut feeling was totally wrong. For the first time. It didn't make him any happier but he thought he should be. After all, no one was following them. He almost snorted. That was a first. Again. Somehow, so many "firsts" made him sense danger once more.
As the lift gave a loud "ding" to announce its arrival, a scowl etched itself to his forehead again. He couldn't help but give the glass rooftop a last roving glance. Then the lift doors sealed and it went down. Kai allowed himself a sigh, as if sighs were precious and had to be used sparingly. No one was following them or chasing them. They were just normal Beybladers going to a Beyblade boarding school, he thought, lighten up, Kai.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
He thought wrong. If Kai had thought to look up instead of down, he might have been one step closer to finding out the mystery. Not that he would have been able to see anything out of ordinary. "Up" in this case, meant ALL the way up. Past the skyscrapers, the clouds and the atmosphere to space. A satellite was now tracking their every move reporting everything back to a dark room, where a man sat hidden in the shadows. The only light in the room came from the video screen placed in front of him and even that had been darkened to the maximum. Basically, he was like a vampire. You could put it this way. A bitbeast vampire. Complete with all-too-sharp canines to convince disbeliveers.
