Xantcha: Sorry about the short chapter. I'm trying to balance everything along with keeping my life up to date.
Kai: ...What, playing video games all of the time.
Xantcha: ....-glares- I'm playing that stupid GBA Beyblade game, and I can't get past one of your levels!!
Kai: ...What, it's my fault?
Xantcha: ...Well actually....
Kai: ....-blinks-
Xantcha: ...Yeah, it is.
Kai: ....-anime fall-
Tyson: Xantcha doesn't own anything except her necklace, her character, and her bit beast!!
Xantcha: ...Oh, right, I forgot. The song in the lastc chappie was 'To be One' by Koda Kumi, and this chapter's song is 'Around the world' by Initial D Move...I was too lazy to put up the lyrics, and I don't own them either.
Open your Soul, Open your Mind
Chap 2: Waking up, and a 'New' Friend...
Kai wandered down the hall of the mansion searching for the room that his 'roommate' was sleeping in. Walking into the bedroom, he glanced over to see Xantcha's head completely covered by the blanket, trying to hide from the sun. Shaking her shoulder lightly, he waited for a response. "Hmph... Don't wanna get up...Lemme 'lone." Sighing, he took the blanket off of her head and shook her again, but a little rougher. "Wake up." Frowning as she turned over, he let a frustrated growl out. "Wake up, or I might have to do something drastic." "Five more... minutes...." Narrowing his eyes at the girl, he walked over to the bathroomand got a glass. Filling it with ice cold water, he smirked. 'Two can play, but only one can win.'Kai slowly walked back to the room, but stopped half way when he heard Brian talking. "It's about time I ran into some luck! I finally get a room to myself without having to share with any of those guys and I get absolute peace and quiet. Oh yeah, I win! Who's the man" Making a surprised face (o0) and staring at the closed door for a moment Kai smirked and walked away. 'Riiiiiight.'
As he went back to Xantcha's side, he almost smiled. 'One...two...' "Don't you need to take a shower?" Dumping the freezing water on Xantcha's back, a loud yell echoed as she stood up. The others in the downstairs kitchen sat or stood in absolute shock as swearing could be heard from two flights of stairs up. Tyson sighed sadly as everyone looked at him with puzzled faces. "I know how she feels. Ten chances to one, she didn't get up." The Bladebreaker's laughed as the others looked in amusement. Acirimik smirked as she walked over to Tala. "Think they'll tell us?" "I don't know if I want to know."
At that moment, Xantcha had quietened down but was still calling the Bladebreaker's team captain everything bad that she knew. "I couldn't really help it, you wouldn't wake up. Anyways, it's time for breakfast, you slept in." Xantcha finally went silent, then growled. "Fine. Thanks for waking me up KAI." Her voice dripped of sarcasm as she led herself to the washroom to clean up. Fifteen minutes later she came out with a robe around her and was heading to get her hair blower, when she saw Kai laying on the bed watching T.V. "What, you still here? Whatever..." Rummaging through her bag, she found her dryer and walked over to the dress stand. Turning it on, she turned her haid towards the television to see what the blader was watching.
"What the... A tournament? Oh, it's only a repeat." Nodding, Kai glanced over to Xantcha. "Actually, it's recorded on the dvd. I'm studying other bladers." Xantcha watched while drying her hair as she saw a familiar blade go flying through the air, only to hit and completely shatter it's opponent. "That's my friend, Riyo. She's the 'teacher' for the white tigers. and...-" She cut herself off as she noticed that Kai had gone into a deep thinking state with his eyes closed. Staying quiet for a moment, she became curious as to what he was thinking about. The door bell suddenly rang and Xantcha immediately jumped up. "Oh no, that must be her!" Shaking himself out of his reverie, he looked at where Xantcha had been only to see a blur racing to the washroom.
"Special Delivery." Blinking twice, the purple haired blader accepted the package. "What's this?" Taking it to the couch and opening the small brown box, she smiled. 'It's Riyo's launcher and blade. She must've sent it ahead of her to keep it safe. Wait, that means...' The door bell went once again and the blader stood up to get it, only to see the captain of the Demolition Boys opening the door. "WAIT! Let me... Oh brother..." She winced as she heard her friend's loud voice.
"Well, HEY there! Soooo, where's Ojanen and Kivanov? HEY, where ARE you guys!! Could ya take my bags? Thanks!" Calling out and walking into the house, the teen girl wandered right by a completely shocked Tala to look for her friends. "XANTCH! ACI...-" "I'm right here. Ojanen is coming in a second, I'm sure." Blinking, the new girl stopped then grinned. "Hey, Acirimik! How's it been going?!" Acirimik backed up and put her hands in front of her. "No hugs. I've been fine, Riyo." Riyo put her thumb up and grinned. "Awesomenessium! Oh, right, I forgot. I parked my moto back at the parking lot, I'm gonna go get it!" After taking the bags in and blinking rapidly, Tala turned to Acirimik. "What's a moto...-" Everyone heard a loud noise and Xantcha came flying down, laughing. "Come on! You'll find out!" The four ran out with everyone else following closely behind.
Walking out, Tala looked around with a confused look on his face. "Well? Where is it?" He slowly wandered over to a hill, narrowing his eyes. "I don't see any..." Everyone heard a loud 'VRRROOMM' and stared in shock once more as a large black motorbike came flying over the hill. Yelling out, the red haired blader crouched down on the ground as the bike went in the air, naroowly missing him. "Woooohooooo!!!" Coming to a screeching halt near the group, Mr. Dickson merely went wide eyed as Riyo took off her helmet. "Wooo, that was fun! Hey, man. Enjoy?" Glancing over to Tala, everyone noticed how he had now stood up, but was twitching lightly. Acirimik covered her mouth and tried to prevent a laugh as he growled. "Never....do....that....again...." Riyo just laughed. "Pppppftt, you're no fun. Soooo, that name's Riyo Taka-ichi, here to be of service!"
Xantcha grinned walking over to her friend and high-fiving her. "That was interesting, although he's going to be in shock for the next few days. Anyways, White Tigers, meet your teacher." Mariah stood there for a moment with a raised eyebrow before getting a cat-like grin. "I love motorbikes! That was great! How'd you do that?" Ray stood there wide eyed looking at Mariah as she talked with Riyo about the make and year. Slapping his forehead lightly, he sighed. "Aw man. If I had known that..." Xantcha laughed as she patted Ray's back. "Don't worry, it's probably just a phase." Max patted Ray's shoulder and laughed. "He hopes!"
Mr. Dickonson walked in front of the group and coughed loudly to get their attention. "Now, although Kivanov-san has already explained to the Demolition Boys about Gaea, I still need to talk to you all about the precautions you must take. There is going to be small banquet tonight, and it WILL be formal. You've been supplied an outfit, although you can wear your own. It will be at the lodge. Now, see you all tonight, and you must be there by 6:00." Xantcha watched as the mayor walked in before sighing. "BUT I HATE formal wear!!" Kai smirked walking by her. "Tough it out then." The singer growled. "EASY FOR YOU TO SAY! You know what, you really are a jerk..." Everyone laughed as she followed Kai, calling him names as he walked up the stairs. He sighed as he mumbled some complaint about her to himself. 'This is going to be a long two weeks...'
Xantcha: ...Okay, again, sorry for late and short chappie.....
Kai: ...-smirks- I've never felt sorry for the D.B. captain, but that came close.
Tyson: ...-laughing- Yeah! I wasn't picked on this time.
Xantcha: ...That's next chappie....--
Tyson: .......oh....Read and Review, onegai....
