Chapter Two – 99 Red Balloons

"Drako? Oh Blank, it's you! Hey, I can't explain much now, but can you grab Drako? Tell him it's Izzy and she needs a favour."

"Gutentag Drako. Wie gehts?"

"Gut danke. I met up with a 'blader and we need a place to crash. Can you ask if we can stay?"

"Mit meine Mütter? Bist du ein Idiot? Ich bin kein Idiot."

"Jawohl...sorry. We'll be landing in zwei Uhr. Say thanks."

"Yeah, we'll have dinner. Say thanks again! Tschüß!" Izzy twirled around and grinned at Kano.

"We have somewhere to stay."

"Do they speak English?" Kano asked with a moody sigh.

"Yeah, Drako's half German, so I talk to him in German if I want to talk in private."

"Oh...you're weird Izzy." Kano replied getting her bags and placing them on top of Izzy's suitcases.

"Yeah...man I need to smoke. Wait a sec." Izzy ran over to a security guard and came back seconds later cursing and scuffing her shoes.

"So...I take it the airport's a no-smoking zone." Kano stated matter-of-factly, smirking as she pushed the trolley through to the departure lounge.

"Yeah. Laitohom Ragado and Haneek Rabbak to you all." Izzy muttered, "Hey! Kano! Waaaaaaait!" Rushing to catch up with Kano, Izzy tripped over a toddler and smacked her head off of the glass lounge doors.

"This is gonna be a looooong flight." Kano groaned, bowing her head to hide her embarrassed blush.

"Kano..."

"Shut up Izzy."

"What happens if we don't get a match with these Bladebreaker dudes?"

"Hmmmm...well we'll enter the nearest tournament and they'll probably enter so we can meet them there."

"Can I ask why this is so important to you? Or is it a raw wound just like the stuff about my parents?"

"I'm not ready to talk about it, maybe after we have a match against them, it'll be different."

"We don't have a team, we can't go four against two!"

"Look Izzy, we'll figure it out. It'll be fine. Just do me a favour; get as stoned as possible when we leave the airport." Kano huffed, turning so that she wasn't facing Izzy.

"Sure thing Kano." Izzy mumbled with a scowl gracing her features.

The face of a young boy appeared between the gap in the seats in front of Izzy. Izzy gave the small child the finger when he stuck his tongue out at her.

"I am seriously never having kids." Picking up her magazine, she turned to the page about Kai Hiwatari. It was just basic info: his age, bitbeast, bitbeast attack and attacking style. It also told the reader a bit about his past – and there was something about an Abbey that sounded just like the one Kano had mentioned. Maybe the mysterious Kai was Kano's ex?

#Damn! Kano was right! I really need to get stoned. I think too much when I'm not high.#

There, the chapters are short, but it makes a change from other fics in the series with much longer chapters. Also, it suits the nature of this story. Ja ne.
