Yes! I'm actually updating! ^^ It's a miracle...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 3- The Dark Fury
Kai woke up around 5:30 and, realizing that he had slept in, quickly got up and got dressed. Grabbing Dranzer from his dresser, he quietly walked to the door. He could faintly hear the sounds of someone making breakfast. Kai sighed; he had wanted to be up before Ares.
He walked into the kitchen, and found Ares already eating breakfast. "Good morning...." He whispered to her, as he walked over to the cupboard.
"Hello, you're up late!" Ares laughed.
"Don't be so loud! We don't want the rest of the team to know where we're going!" Kai said harshly, thrusting his hand over Ares' mouth, causing her to choke on her cereal.
Ares coughed. "Fine, Fine..."
"And I suggest you wear something more appropriate" Kai said, pointing to Ares' clothes.
Ares looked at her reflection in her glass. She blushed, realizing she still had her pajamas on. Kai smirked as she ran back into her room to change into something else; something told him this was going to be a very long day...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ares walked back into the kitchen 10 minutes later, wearing her usual attire of blue cargo pants, white t-shirt, and silver belt. "Well, we should probably get going, huh? Wouldn't want to be late..." She said, slipping a yellow sweatband over her left wrist.
"Whatever...you're sure you're ready this time?" Kai asked rolling his eyes as Ares tripped over the chair.
Ares quickly got up. "Yup! Now let's go!"
She headed for the door, but stopped suddenly when someone stepped out of the shadows.
"Where do you think you're going at 6 in the morning?" He said sharply.
Kai glanced at Ares as though telling her to keep her mouth shut. "We...we're just going for a walk, Rei." Kai said hesitantly.
"Liar! I know you're going to meet Tala." Rei said stepping into the light, his golden eyes shinning like mirrors. "I overheard everything you discussed yesterday."
Kai sighed; Rei had an excellent intuition about stuff like this. "Well, you figured it out...but why so interested?"
"I seek knowledge...information about the sacred bit-beasts. Tala may have the answers I'm looking for! Please, let me come so I can find out for myself. I know I don't have a Spirit Star, but I'll do anything to help! Rei said, taking out his blade and holding it up to the light. "Besides, you're gonna need all the help you can get, so be glad the White Tiger is here!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai agreed to let Rei come along, and they finally made their way to Okona Shrine. Unfortunately, Ares forgot her shoes, so Kai had to carry her there.
"You eat too much..." Kai complained under Ares' weight.
"Yeah, and you eat too little. Now hurry up or we'll be late!" she said, punching the back of his head.
They could see the sakura tree Tala had mentioned in the distance, and ran towards it. Tala stood under the tree ready to greet them, his crimson hair blowing in the morning breeze.
"Good morning, did you sleep in?" Tala laughed as Kai dropped Ares beside the tree. "Did you forget your shoes again Ares? I feel sorry for you Kai."
Turning around, something caught the corner of his eye. He snarled, pointing at the Chinese blader, his smile disappeared. "What is HE doing here, I told you to come alone!"
"I've come to help Tala, and from what I've heard, you're going to need it."
Tala paused, glaring at Rei. "How much did you hear?"
"Everything"
"Very well, just don't let me hear you complaining." Tala sighed, turning his attention to the tree. "Now, let me introduce you to my new team...Dark Fury."
Tala clapped his hands twice, and obediently three bladers dropped from the branches. He pointed to the first blader. "This here is Avaia...I believe she came from your hometown, Rei." Avaia smiled at Rei, and adjusted her black headband. Actually, she wore all black. A black tank top, black cargo pants, black shoes and arm bands, and of course, her headband. Her eyes were a shiny silver, and her long hair was...yep, you guessed it, a brilliant sparkling black.
The next blader Tala introduced was a kid named Caleema, who was around Ares' height. She wore a yellow tank top with a giant purple 'Z' on the front, and blue denim jeans with red flames dancing on the cuffs.
I don't know why I'm on this stupid team." She said, sweeping her long emerald hair out of her sparkly red eyes. "Especially with a leader like THAT." Caleema said, looking in Tala direction.
"Oh, shut the hell up, would you? You're even more annoying then Zeo! If you want to leave, fine. We don't need a brat like you on our team."
"Oh, leave Caleema alone Tala. It's not very nice to yell at people like that..." A young green haired blader said, stepping out of the tree's shadow.
"I thought you'd know by now Zeo, things are never nice. Especially you're talking about...IT." He said, not even looking at Caleema.
Zeo sighed, blowing strands of his green hair out of his eyes. Why did he always get in the middle of their fights? He always took Caleema's side though...he had never really liked Tala all that much. After all, it had been Tala who had forced him to be on this team, and....Zeo paused, looking up from his thoughts. Turning around, he saw a pair of crimson eyes staring at him.
Kai looked away and turned his attention to the morning sun, which had just risen above the horizon. He hated Zeo, especially after what happened during the world championships two months ago. Zeo had taken Dranzer right before his eyes, and he wasn't ready to forgive him yet. But Zeo was here to help, Kai told himself. Watching the first sakura blossom fall to the ground, Kai gently closed his crimson eyes. He would need some time to think about this.
Tala sighed and sat down under the tree, motioning for the others to sit as well. "Now that that's taken care of, let me tell you why I've called you here today. As you know, Daisuke's power is growing with every second that goes past. We must find him and stop him and Kalibos from converting all the Spirit Stars to darkness."
"Hang on...how can he convert them to darkness?" Ares asked, eyeing her brother with confusion.
"Ah, I must not have told you. Kalibos has the power to make the other three Spirit Stars- and all other bit-beasts actually- to a dark and useless state to do his biding. And since we're connected with our bit- beasts, if they become darkness so will we. Using our souls, Daisuke can add our power to his, making him invincible! We will begin our search in two days; meet me back here and..."
His sentence was interrupted by Avaia and Caleema, who seemed to be trying to kill each other with giant scythes.
"He mine, MINE!!!" Avaia yelled, thrusting her scythe at Caleema.
"FINE! Just stay away from MY Zeo!" Caleema screamed, swinging the scythe at Avaia's head.
"Fine, I wasn't planning to. Why would I want to? HE'S A STUPID ROBOT!!!"
Caleema immediately dropped her weapon and ran towards Avaia at top speed, pinning her to the sakura tree.
"Take that back...take back what you said about him!" She screamed, tears streaming from her glowing ruby eyes.
"And what if I don't? What'll you do then, cry?" Avaia snarled.
"No...you know my background...I'll kill you!" She yelled, reaching in her back pocket and swiftly pulling out a small blade. "You'll pay for what you said..." She growled, raising her hand, her red eyes still full of tears.
"Caleema! That's enough! I don't care what she thinks of me, or what anyone says anymore. But thanks for defending me." He smiled, catching Caleema's arm.
Wiping away her tears, she nodded and turned back to Avaia. "I will get my revenge...by the time this quest is over; the Azuri ninjas will have claimed your life."
