Shaedowe: *Stares mutely at a Chinese scroll...*
Myishi: *Pokes her in the back* Hey!
Shaedowe: *Gives a start* What? Oh! Sorry... I was just so involved in that Chinese scroll over there... might influence the story you know... *hint hint* Oh, but I'm not supposed to give hints am I?
Myishi: *covers Shaedowe's mouth* You there... don't listen to her... she's starting to go crazy... don't take her hints... *shouts to someone at the back of the room* Found the MPH number yet?
Chorus of answers: No, not yet...
Yourin: Ouch, Alexandra, get your foot of my back!
Alexandra: My foot is not on your back! *Pauses* It's on Fein's back!
Yourin: Well, in case you forgot! FEIN AND I ARE TWINS!
Myishi: Shut up! Knock it off!
Yourin: Ouch! Get off me! YOU'RE SQUISHING ME!
Alexandra Anastasia: *Shoves her* Whatever! Hey Myishi! Why don't you come and help and I'll do Shaedowe for a change! You're always complaining and bossing us about!
Myishi: *Glares at Alex* What, you think Shaedowe's easy? She's like a pain in the neck, but a million times worse! You think you can handle her? Keep dreaming! I'm the leader here anyway...
Alexandra: Well, maybe if-
Fein: Stop it, both of you! I hope you aren't gonna behave like this... don't fight over Shaedowe... You'll frighten her!
Shaedowe: *Gives innocent face and puppy dog eyes* I'm totally innocent! *Two horns sprout from her head, entangled in a golden angel halo* Heh heh... just that some people don't agree with me, you know...
Fein: Anyway, stop this sniping, cause I'M GOING TO BE IN CHARGE OF SHAEDOWE! No one is to touch her!
Gatcher: No way! She's the easy job! I'll take charge of her!
All WGs join in: No way! I'll take care of her... *All become a fighting dustball*
Shaedowe: *creeps away quietly* Well, looks like I'm free for the day! Let's go see my story! Yah! Hopefully they'll go on like this for the whole week! Haha!
P.S. Can you all tell me whom you like best in Beyblade? They can be from any team... Doesn't have to be from the Bladebreakers... Doesn't have to be from V-force either... Thanks!
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
Many Thanks To:
Tomgirl27: Yup! That's Michael! AWOL means Absent WithOut Leave. Yeah... but still, I think they should have more girls... Thanks for reviewing again! *gives Kane plushy*
Lefty: Haha! Thanks for reviewing again! Nah, it's ok if you can't review... Uhh... what do you mean that your computer was being gay? *gives Selima plushy*
Ok... Let's get on with the story... Yeah!
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
Tyson was the fat one wearing the cap. Rei was the one in white. Max was the blonde. Kenny, aka Chief, was the nerd with the specs and Dizzi was the laptop. Jazlyn frowned thoughtfully. That couldn't be right... There were supposed to be five Bladers in this team... Surely the computer wasn't counted...? Who was missing? Rei, Tyson, Max, Kenny... KAI!
She noticed the rest staring at her. Then she realized that she'd shouted her thoughts aloud. "Oh sorry," Looking apologetic. "By the way, where's Kai? There are five of you, aren't there?"
Rei was looking apologetic too. "We-ll, he... uhh... he went for a long walk. I think he lost track of time..."
Jazlyn knew the true story. They were having trouble with their team leader.
Nattie didn't seem to be having the same trouble with the rest of the team. She was getting to know them. Too much. Flirting would be closer to the truth.
Smiling seductively at the guy in white. He was a cute one. Max wasn't bad, but she didn't go for short guys. Or fat guys. Tyson, therefore, was totally out of the question. Fat, short and dense, he didn't often have girls clamoring for his attention anyway.
"Hi. I'm Natalia, but you can call me Nattie. People call me the Bella Donna of this team. Beautiful one."
Jade was so sure. Bella Donna was also a poisonous and deadly plant. That was Nattie. Smiling at her new teammates, Jade turned to the real beauty of the group. Reave.
Reave. A frown creased her face. Reave! Jade called mentally. Reave, are you ok?
A moments hesitation before she felt activity on Reave's side. Here.
Jade was relieved. Reave was the more dominant one in their shared special ability. She, therefore, controlled whatever communication they had. Reave could cut Jade off completely and feed her false thoughts, but Jade could be read easier than a blank piece of paper.
In short, Reave could mess with Jade's mind without breaking a sweat, and Jade wouldn't know it. Jade could be Reave's puppet and she wouldn't be aware until Reave told her. Not that Reave would have any reason to do that. Would she?
Reave broke through. Course not. What am I, a traitor or a monster? Neither! We're best friends. And Jade knew it was true.
Jade grinned at Reave and turned back to the others.
Reave didn't.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
Kai Hiwatari, the team's captain, was feeling uneasy. Everything was fine. They were meeting their new members. Approved and organised by Mr Dickenson. What could go wrong?
The answer escaped from his mouth. "Everything."
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
"Well, so I said, no way will I go out with you and he said..." Nattie was telling another of the stories.
Jazlyn was intrigued. Nattie was forever coming up with her tall tales. Nevertheless, she never failed to impress Jazlyn. She laughed.
Reave heard the laughter coming from the group. Nattie had made a good joke.
Physically, Reave was part of the group too, but spiritually, she was somewhere else. Tall, ancient majestic carvings, and pillars, and Greek palaces like those from the movie Atlantis. Well, of course, this was Ancient Atlantis. Though not yet underwater. Atlantis had never been underwater in the first place. Still wasn't.
It was the only place she ever felt at home, welcome. There were people laughing, children playing. Noisy crowded warm marketplaces. People bargaining.
Birds fluttering around, twittering.
Peace. Ancient Atlantis.
Then, startling change. Empty, barren, messy. Overgrown, deserted and abandoned. A graveyard. Ancient Atlantis.
Her home. And Jade's. Destroyed by one single person. Him.
A wicked, smirking, triumphant face. Evil in its purest form.
She knew who it was.
And hated him.
And anyone related to him.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
A door slammed. Someone was coming in.
Rei got up. "That would be Kai."
Introducing the slate-haired teen with a cold face. "Everyone, meet Kai Hiwatari."
Nattie noted him to be extremely cute. Jazlyn flushed. Jade smiled. He was handsome, even she thought so.
Reave couldn't believe it. The name, Hiwatari.
She hated it. To death.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
Reave you ok? Jade's voice, an intrusion into Reave's thoughts.
No answer.
Jade, worried, glanced at her best friend. Reave didn't often ignore her. Unless she was teasing her. Or mad with her.
Shifting position to sit beside Reave, she placed a concerned arm on her best friend's shoulder. Tried to sense her thoughts. Came up against a brick wall. Literally.
Reave shook off her hand. Refused to use telepathy. "I'm fine." She whispered. "Just tired. I'm going to my room first."
Jade watched Reave. A retreating shadow. Straight, yet beaten and bent. Lonely.
Then, a mental opening. Reave had opened up. Or so Jade thought, as the opening closed up almost immediately. Reave hadn't meant for that to happen then.
But then, she didn't need a further opening. She had sensed a very important emotion already. Perhaps the key clue to her cold behavior.
But one that worried her. Terribly.
Hatred. Immense hatred.
She thought back to what Reave had told her about Ancient Atlantis. Their 5000-year-old lost home. Reave felt strongly for it.
The hatred. A 5000-year-old hatred.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
Kai glanced at the girl who had just left the room. She was pretty. The prettiest of the group, in his opinion.
Not his taste though. So what was new. No girl was.
Especially this one who was smiling and talking in front of him. What was her name? Nattie or something. She would have better luck with Tyson. She wouldn't have any luck with Rei either though. He didn't like her that way. It was just that Rei was nicer. He would never have brushed her off so rudely. Would never leave her standing lamely, staring at the wall, her mouth hanging open. Gaping like a goldfish out of water.
Kai smirked. Served her right for being such a wannabe.
He needed fresh air. To be away from the rest. The annoying girl.
The annoying Tyson as well.
He pushed open the door, and it creaked. It badly needed oil. Like this dumb hotel.
That was when he saw her. The girl from the room. The pretty one. Sitting on the steps. Staring into space. Looking but not really seeing. Probably thinking.
He didn't know what made him do what he did. Maybe he never would.
He sat down next to her.
She didn't give a start. Didn't turn around either. Her reaction to him, however, was unusual, but not entirely unwelcome. Either.
"Hiwatari."
He didn't know what to think. For one, no one ever called him by his hated last name unless they had a death wish. A painful death wish.
She was lucky he didn't kill her.
For two, no girl had ever reacted to him this way before. Never.
Well, for starters, Kai was impressed. Usually, when he graced a girl with his magnetic presence – very, very, very, very seldom – most of them would have the usual shy, boring and girlish reaction.
Blush, stammer and try to suck up to him. Wannabes.
Sounded like a comedy act.
This girl was an entirely different story. Cold, unimpressionable and unique.
Strange, reminded him of someone. Name starting with K. Rhyming with pie.
"Humph." He didn't let his feelings show. Whatever his feelings were.
Crossed arms and closed eyes, couldn't care less expression. The trademark Kai. Reave stood up.
That got Kai's attention. A girl who could resist him. Neat. And new.
"Training starts tomorrow, and one more thing, what's your name?" He asked, curiosity aroused.
"Find out."
Reave left the room. She wasn't going to tell him who she was. Never a Hiwatari. Her hatred was way passing its point. Luckily, she was totally in check with her emotions. Totally.
Kai glanced at her hand. Balled into a tight fist. Shaking, with what was unmistakably anger and hatred.
Frowning, he asked "Something wrong? Or does your hand shake every time you talk to a cute guy?"
Rich, stuck up snob. She hated him so much more than she had upon hearing his name. If that was possible at all.
Reave decided she would lend him a helping hand to figure out this mystery.
"Oh, nothing much. Just that I hate the Hiwatari name. A lot."
Kai was confused. Sure, he'd made lots of enemies. But none of them girls. No, girls were too fragile, ladylike hold a grudge. And he was sure he had never met her before. He never forgot a face.
Kai was confused. Very. And when he was confused he got mad.
He scowled, the beginnings of hatred etched into his deep, dark and mysterious eyes, and he scowled.
That girl needn't worry. The feeling was mutual. Now.
Probably forever. And ever.
***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***
Shaedowe: Heh heh... that's the end. I've sort of got writers' block now, so I can't continue. Sorry... Ok, then... pls review! I'm keeping you guys in suspense, I hope, of Reave's past. And what it has to do with Hiwatari. Both Kai and Voltaire. Heh heh... I hope to get 5 reviews before I continue. Or more if better! The more the merrier! Speaking of which...
Fein: You shut up! You're always taking the easy job...
Myishi: Am not! I'm Shaedowe's top Writ-
Yourin: Quiet, you're gonna give it away! I'll take the job then, if you two can't stop this!
Myishi and Fein: No way!
Gatcher: I totally agree! I'll take charge of Shaedowe!
All the WGs: No way! *All become a fighting dustball again*
Shaedowe: We-ll, it's good for my freedom, but them? Maybe the saying the saying many hands make light work doesn't work on them, they're not normal people you know... WGs... I know! "Many hands make a big fight!" How bout that! Hah! Pretty lame, but who cares! See ya next time... Hopefully, they'll still be fighting! Weeee!
*Fighting dustball rolls by...*
