Chapter 2- The Dump
"Mr. Dickinson! Shouldn't they be here by now?" Ashei whined, sitting backwards in her seat so she could stare out the window. Watching the flights take off across the clear blue sky. She turned to Mr. Dickinson and asked. " Are they here yet?"
"You're the one watching the sky. You be the one to judge that." He answered with a grin, the redhead sighed heavily and resumed her impatient vigil.
"Why do you want them to come so badly?" Silver muttered cracking open a dark grey eye in vexation, lying on her back across the chairs, jacket beneath her head, arms across her chest. In truth the young blond couldn't care less whether the boy were plunged into the sea trapped amidst a violent inferno of melting metal, or if they arrived at Kennedy Airport on time, she just wanted sleep.
"You know, maybe the second after the plane left the airport, a flight 180 occurred!" Jinn suggested excitedly, blue eyes wide and attentive. Gabriella rolled her eyes over her starbucks cup.
"What's a flight 180?" The elderly man asked, feeling left out of the conversation. Gabriella sighed, and placed the Styrofoam cup down momentarily.
"Flight 180 was the original title for a movie Final Destination, and let me just say, the main character in that movie, Alex Browning played by Devon Sawa. Was hot! But of course that Clear . . . "
"Gabriella!" Silver growled, an obvious shiver running up her spine as she turned over on the benches, back toward the others.
"Anyway, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted!" She glared at her teammates back, then turned to face her elder. " The airplane, flight 180, exploded the minute it took to the skies."
"Oh . . . " The man blinked unsurely, glancing over at the chairs across from him where Gabriella had glared seconds before.
"It was the funniest movie ever." Jinn sighed dreamily, Gabrielle returned to her coffee cup, smiling at her thoughts of a certain boy.
"They're here! They're here!" Ashei sprung from her chair as the others turned to watch the landing from behind glass, all but Silver who didn't even turn around.
_-_-_-_-_
"Wow, I thought that flight was never going to end!" Tyson yawned, wiping the sleep from his eyes, stretching his free arm into the air, nearly hitting the blond who exited beside him.
"You slept through the whole flight Tyson!" Max said poking his friend in the stomach. "Even the in-flight movie!"
"And the meals." Tyson grumbled, rubbing his growling abdomen. "I"m starving!"
"Tyson, you're always starving." Kenny informed him as he too exited the flight, computer tucked in its bag, a disheveled Rei beside him.
"I am never stepping into a plane again." The black-haired boy muttered, face and knuckles pale as if he had just been holding on for dear life. Kenny turned to him worried.
"Rei it was just a bit of turbulence." The Chinese boy shook his head violently.
"Nothing like that though. I'll never look at a roller coaster the same way."
"You were just not expecting it!" Max threw his arm around his friends shoulders, smiling widely. "Don't you love surprises?!"
"Not anymore, and I assure you I will never experience one again!" The words barely left Rei's lips when something gave off a battle cry and pounced on top of him, sending him, and his carry on luggage tumbling to the ground. A redhead sat astride his back, arms wrapped around his neck, a smile so wide it rivaled Max's.
"Life is full of surprises, isn't it?" The boys sweatdropped, rushing to help their fallen friend as Kenny shushed his computer.
"Ah boys! How glad I am to see you here safe and sound!"
"Mr. Dickinson?" Tyson turned, dropping the redhead whom he had just pried off his teammates neck. He smiled. "Hey Mr. D! Where's the new team?"
"Well, the redhead crawling away would be Ashei Aker." Tyson turned just in time to see the red head bend down in front of Rei, who was now kneeling, and look him in the eyes.
"Ash is the name, mischief and mayhem's my game." She extended a hand of assistance, which Rei took reluctantly. "And you guys are the bladebreakers!"
"Yes we are, I"m Rei." He stood up and stepped back. Just as three girls rushed up besides them.
"We're sorry for Ashei rude introduction."
"Hey. I'm Tyson, and this is Kenny, Rei, Max, and." He nodded his head to Kai, who was being as antisocial as ever leaning against a wall. "Kai. Were the bladebreakers."
"Obviously. I'm Gabriella, I implore you to call me Gabby though . . . " The brunette purred seductively, circling Tyson. "Jinn, sunglasses."
"Sure." The black-haired girl handed her a pair of sunglasses from her pocketbook. Tyson stood watching the skirt clad girl stalk around him, then come to a sudden halt right in his face.
"Mr. Dickinson, your description of this fine boy did him no justice!" She turned to the pudgy man.
"You're kidding me, right?" Max laughed. Gabriella turned, taking her sunglasses off dramatically, scowling. "I'm the good-looking one in the group."
"You're joking right?"
"Anyway, I'm growing weary of this dialogue." Gabriella yawned in emphasis to her words. "Ashei would you do the honor of the introduction?"
The petite redhead sprung to her feet, she had been sitting Indian style on the bladebreakers carry on luggage, much to Kenny's distaste, (him being the only that noticed.)
"Of course!" She cleared her throat augustly, and began, pointing to herself. "I'm Ashei! The sweet, lovable, ever popular, ever wonderful, ever irresistible . . . !" The light-haired girl sighed, shaking her head. "Fine. These guys are Jinn, Gabriella, and the ever gloomy, doomy, vicious and violent, Silver Williams."
"Just call my Nny." She said with a sadistic smirk, extending a hand to the team, who shied away warily. Mr. Dickinson looked at his watch
"Well, now that you guys are acquainted, lets go get some lunch and make sure the drivers picked up the right luggage."
_-_-_-_
"Alright, since you are to be sleeping in my room. I guess I should warn you." Nny said glancing back at Kai as she picked at one of the locks on her bedroom door. "No one has been in this room for a good two years." The lock clicked, but the door wouldn't budge. "Except me, but I haven't had time to clean it." She kicked it, a cloud of dust wafting through the crack, and pushed it open. Giving Kai clear view of the hidden.
It wasn't an impressive room, small, with dark wall paper covered in posters and a thick layer of dust. Her bed a few flat pillows laying on top of a window seat, the shade of the rectangular window drawn together.
"Well theirs you bed." She muttered, picking herself up from the floor. "Try it out."
"It won't fall down will it?" He questioned, listening to the creaking of the bare floor boards as she turned to face him.
"Of course it won't! Squee! This thing could withstand the impact of a bomb!" She snickered a bit. "It even withstood Gabriella and her boyfriend when we first moved in."
Kai didn't ask, warily, he placed his duffle bag on the bed, and sprung back expecting it to fall. But it didn't.
"Told you so."She muttered, holding a change of clothes beneath her arm. "I'm going to go take a shower. When I come back, nothing had better be out of place." Kai took a seat on the bed when he was sure she was gone, hopping on it just to test it out. It withheld.
CRASH!
..for a while. He growled sprawled out on the collapsed mattress. He stood up, and nearly fell over again due to the death trap at his feet, but was lucky enough to catch hold of the dark, wooden dresser. He pulled himself upright, and listened, he could hear the water from the shower, and the low voices of the others. He sighed and glanced around the room. Catching a glimpse of something he hadn't seen before. A small, flat top, black chest, locked thrice and covered in more dust then anything else in the room. Something about it struck him as sinister. He crouched beside it and fingered the locks, but to no avail.
He sighed, falling back on his ass and glancing around the room. Eyeing the random pictures cluttering the walls, dark and depressing, even though some were quite funny. He stood up and stretched, apathetically glancing around the cluttered bureau top, when he spotted a small blade amidst the mass of Egyptian statues, books, incense, and candles. He reached for it carefully, feeling the cool aura of metal against his fingers as they closed, a pain shot through his finger.
"When did the bed collapse? And what are you doing?" Silver snapped, watching the boys eyes turn toward her, she blushed feeling slightly exposed in nothing but a long baggy black JTHM (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac 3) T-shirt and a pair of red shorts. Kai for another reason . . . he had been caught, and blood was now beading on his fingers.
~*~*~*~
"So Squee, truth or dare?" Gabriella asked, the red head jumped off her bed and smiled evilly.
"Dare." She giggled madly. "And make it good!"
"Hm . . . I dare you to skip your turn." She said with a smirk. The redhead fell over and whimpered pitifully (Squeeeee!).
"Ok. It's my turn now." Max simpered. "Rei, Truth or Dare."
"Truth." The boy answered confidently, legs draped over the arm of an overstuffed chair. They all sat in Jinn and Ashei's shared room, dressed in their pajama, munching on chips and other such snacks by the light of a battery powered lantern sitting in the center of their circle.
"I hate you . . . anyway, I truth you to tell us what you fear above all things."
"I truth you?" Rei raised an eyebrow, his face darkened. "What I fear the most, what I fear the most.... airplanes, Mariah's wrath, psycho killers . . . " The three girls exchanged glances. "And losing Drigger, again."
"Who's Mariah?" Ashei inquired, recovering from her lamentable mewling. Jinn elbowed her savagely."Ow! Mesa was just wondering!"
"She was his girlfriend!" Max cried, and was soon joined in by Tyson singing. "Rei and Mariah sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love! Then comes . . . !"
"SQUEE!" Ashei squealed, covering her ears, rocking back and forth, squee-ing.
"What's wrong with her?" Max asked, glancing between the amethyst eyed girl and the two others apprehensively.
"Song brings back bad memories." They answered simply. Wrenching the girls hands away from her ears, and shoving a sock in her mouth. "Better?"
The three boys blinked, nodding mechanically. "What's the matter with you guys?"
"Listen" They murmured, the girls fell silent, even Ashei, as the creaking of floorboards became louder. "It's coming this way . . . "
The door opened slowly, the teens huddled together. "It's here!" Jinn sang. Tyson screamed.
"Ow! You guys are still awake!?!" It was Nny, and she didn't look very happy. "The dude in my room, and the midget with the computer are sleeping, and I would advise you guys to do the same!" She hissed, eyes narrowed.
"We will."
"Tomorrow may not be an exciting day, but dreams are your only refuge from reality. So sleep and enjoy your escape, for it will only last awhile." With that she closed the door and crept through the hall.
"Does that mean goodnight?" Tyson asked a bit confused.
"Yes Tyson it does." Jinn said with a smile, picking up the food and hiding it beneath her bed. "She's a bit crazy you know?"
~*~*~*~
"Can we trust him?" She wondered, resting her chin on her knees, pulling them tightly to her chest. Eyes dulled by admiration as she watched the boy sleep, back toward her, beyblade gripped tightly in the other, she knew, she had seen it before. "If he keeps holding it so tightly he's likely to rupture his flesh on the blades." She smiled softly.
No reply came.
"Neco, is something wrong? Why do you keep your silence?" She questioned, glancing down at the black and silver blade. "All the others may speak with their blades, why must you be so impertinent?"
There was a moment of silence before a low growl entered her mind in reply. "Ah my dear, you swither over nix." It yawned. "Have I truly worried you so? My dearly devoted one?"
"Yes." She replied earnestly. "I need your opinion."
"Indeed." The creature paused reflectively. "His blood is warm, compared to your own."
"His blood?" Nny oppugned, suddenly interested.
"Yes my morbid mistress. I have tasted his blood. Such a callous being with such warm blood."
Silver stood up and crept across the room. Kneeling down so her face was level with Kai's. She examined his features that, even during the night, remained stolid. She stroked away a strand of his hair and glared at him.
"He believes your team to be weak, useless. His mind is confused, too many thoughts. His bit-beast cannot filter it all."
"Poor boy." She whispered to herself sarcastically, still, studying him. "He's not so defensive in his sleep. How can these people sleep knowing the possible dangers laying waste to the world as the moon hangs dead above the earth?"
"You're beginning to sound like me my dear mistress." The beast growled. "I will leave you to your thoughts my mistress. Till the morning."
"Till the morn." She muttered, and felt the connection sever. Leaving her alone once more. Alone with the blue haired boy. She sighed and returned to her window seat, and looked out at the stars. Unaware that Kai had been awake the whole time. . .
