Chapter1

The season was spring; I can still remember...we were in a rest house in Hokkaido, Japan. This was one of the prizes we obtained when we won the Worldwide Beyblade tournament....

It was a misty Saturday evening when we arrived at Hokkaido. The stars are hiding behind the clouds...

Everything was so solemn and perfect... The stillness added to the beauty of the place. I haven't seen this side of Japan and I haven't found this landscape in Russia. I've discovered one more thing...

I don't know I could be this vigilant of my ambiance sometimes..........

We feel famished that time, Rei decided to cook food for us, good thing there were groceries in the fridge, completely arranged; Takao was drooling over as usual. The tired Kyouju was seated beside Max who was cleaning his Draciel, which rolled on the floorboards of the train we rode a while ago. How about me?.... Just sitting on the futon.

After an hour or two...

"C'mon guys let's eat!" Takao exclaimed as he approached Rei holding tray of delicious-looking foodstuff. Everybody followed to the table except me, for I really don't want to see this Takao. He's irritating me whenever he does that....

Rei sweat dropped. Max and Kyouju sighed deeply. My only thought was: Poor Takao No improvements.

Takao gulped a spoonful of food in his mouth. What a total gross...

Everybody stopped what they were doing and stared at Takao who was eating endlessly...

"You've always been great in cooking Rei!" Takao uttered. Crass...

Rei sweat dropped again. "Haha. Thanks Takao. Uh by the way guys I've got something to tell you... My—"

"Oh really Rei?! It's alright!" Takao grumbled still eating continuously. Didn't let Rei finish...

"And Takao, you've always been wild in eating..." Kyouju slotted.

Max nodded his head repeatedly. "Absolutely!"

"Just shut up and eat, these are really yummy!" Takao griped.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT will you stop talking, OKAY?!!!?!" Rei shouted at the top of his voice. Now he got everyone's attention... including mine.

"What now?" I asked, very impatiently at that time. I was totally all-in.

"My childhood friend will spend her vacation here in our rest house..." Rei stated. Max and Kyouju gaped at Rei.

"Is that all?! No problem with that, Right guys?!" Takao responded while mumbling the food left. Huh? Just two plates of food left for the four of us? Crap. I hate you Takao.

Everybody's quiet. Got it. A petty problem to be fixed here. Takao realized it the last...

"WAIT A SEC!................. HER?! You mean... a girl?!.... WHOA.......!" Whatta reaction...

"Yeah... She'll be arriving tomorrow afternoon." Rei said hesitantly as if bringing a girl is a total introversion.

"WHHAAAAT?!" Excluding me of course.... They said in unison...

"So?" I asked irritably.

"What so? You mean it's all right?" Rei asked looking absorbedly at me, and the other three as well.

Just kept quiet. That's the only way.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Each one has gotten in his shell at the moment. Rei and Kyouju's rooms were at the ground floor. Max and Takao, at the first floor. And mine is on the second floor. Have to walk upstairs.

I was now in front of the door... Huh? There was a signpost. It said: Hiwatari Kai... Why do they have to do this? So corny...

I entered then put the lights on. Cool. Indigo shutters. Full-sized bed. Periwinkle bed sheets. Got the nicest one here. Simple is authentically beautiful.

I looked around the room... Entirely different from my house over there in Russia. Uh... There's a closet enough to put in my clothes, there's a radio, a television on the table, a lampshade, an alarm clock, a small desk, and.... huh? A telephone?

I placed my baggage over the small desk. Ah...the windows were opened. I could feel the breeze touch my face. I could hear the leaves of the cherry blossoms rustle. I peeped outside the casement. The stars were still concealed; the moon hid from the view. Darkness started to cover the place. Though there is a chain of post lights nearby, which illuminated the spot. Hmm...the rustling stopped for a while. Serenity is absolutely good. All I could hear was...

Riiinnng..... Riiinnggg...... Riiiinggggg......

HUH? It ruined the tranquility.... Damn.

I put up the handset. And was surprised to hear....

"Hello? Good evening."

A very soft voice of a girl. Who could this be?

"Hello? Rei, is that you?" She asked very tenderly and timidly. Rei, ne? Hmm... Guess she was the girl Rei was talking about.

"Just a sec." I replied. I heard her wheeze. Am I that scary?

I called Rei downstairs, and I stayed there for a few moments. It wouldn't be nice if I could hear their conversation, right?

But damn, Rei owed me one.

Later than a few minutes, Rei got back and for me, he looked too pleased.

"Thanks Kai!" He said joyfully.

"Whatever you say." I turned then went upstairs. Good to see my room again. I sprawled on the bed....

Time check: 11:00 pm.... What? Thought I was that exhausted but why can't I sleep?

Guess I have to take shower...

Note: As you can see Hiwatari is the narrator of the story. I set it up like he's talking less and thinking much. (just like the way he was in the series) Of course, the story would be dull if he wouldn't be thinking a lot, ne?! and also, he's so irritated of Takao if he does some childish things. Hmm... Just watch out for my fic, okay? Arigatou!!! Read and post a review please. =) A few chapters to go before the ending. nn
