Two-Moon Sky: Chapter 3 - Home New Home (Fair warning: This chapter may be sorta boring/long and it changes scenes a lot. Sorry 'bout that!!!)
Tyson's grandfather was nice enough to let us sleep in a spare bedroom, which was actually just the right size, if not smaller. The girls didn't pack all that much, so Hilary decided to take the girls shopping. Amunet and Ridea's clothes were getting tattered from all the washings, and Kimi just wanted a change in her look. A huge mall was their first stop. As they walked in, Amunet, Ridea, and Kimi's jaws dropped slightly, for they were staring at about twenty small stores put together! "Where do we start?!" Kimi said, pulling some more money out of her unlimited pocket. First they stopped in a shoe store, a store that had all things pink, but nothing seemed to fit the new style Amunet wanted to portray. They were about to give up, when Amunet saw it. Those tall, black doors with the silver skull handles. That was the place! They flung the doors open to reveal a dark walled room full of black. Just about everything in there was black except for the occasional red. This was her look. This was what Amunet wanted to express about herself. She wanted to show what was deep in her soul, so deep you could never find it just through eyes, a hidden darkness from within.
/And hour Later/
All (except Hilary) the girls left the store in and with brand new clothing. Kimi in green, Ridea in pink (punkish), and Amunet in black walked to their new home, feeling really energetic. When they reached home, all the Bladebreakers but Kai stopped their training to greet them. Ridea and Kimi still looked pretty close to what they used to, but Amunet's style just about scared them all. Her black pants had chains hanging on the sides, a studded belt, and zippers just about the knees. Her brown hair now contained red streaks, but she still kept her traditional Egyptian make-up for her eyes. Her shirt, black and dark grey, held Snoopy on the front and his back on hers. A chocker with skulls and metal ball necklaces hung from her slim neck. This was the first time she was not wearing a white, robe-like outfit, so they really had the right to stare. They thought she looked close to dead, but she had never felt so alive. One thing did not change, however. The same necklace Amunet wore the first day was still around her neck. It's gold shone like her eyes, and the while, half jewel was even brighter. The other half of the jewel was inside her blade. "It's the jewel that contains Sekhmet's spirit." Amunet explained, seeing how Kai finally tunred to them and his gaze landed again on the necklace. "I still don't get it..." Tyson asked, "that's your bitbeast? A jewel?" The girls sighed, this was going to be hard to explain. "Well...see...take my bitbeast for example. It's name is Uadjet, and my snake necklace has half of a jewel, and the other half is in my blade. The whole jewe contains Uadget's spirit, but by breaking it in half, it's power is free to flow and I can be in contact with the spirit at all times." Kimi explained, hoping to have covered every aspect of the question. Ray and Kai were the only ones who looked like they understood. Ridea moaned, "Forget it!" Gramps came out and announced dinner being served, and everyone scrambled for a spot at the table. Kai sat down beside Amunet as she rested quietly, waiting for her turn to have food. "Take what you can before Tyson eats it all." Kai advised her. Amunet smiled a thank you to him and began choosing her plate. There we so many different things that she had never seen, and what were those stick things? Amunet couldn't figure out how to hold them, and Ridea was busy teaching Kimi how to use them. She fidgeted for a while, and before long, she felt warm hands on hers, fixing her mistake. She looked to the side, almost coming face to face with Kai. She had finally got it right, with his help of course. "Thanks again." she muttered, feeling her face get slightly hot. "Yeah sure." Kai replied in his usual tone. After dinner was finished, Amunet, Ridea, and Kimi thanked Gramps for the wonderful meal. They were stuffed and ready for bed. The only problem was actually sleeping. The girls were so excited about their first day of school coming up that it kept them awake half the night. They talked about their day until they each fell silently to sleep.
/First Day of School/
Amunet, Ridea, and Kimi put on those new clothes they had bought before. They were finally going to school! They were all ready, and excited, and walking through those doors sealed the feeling. As they made their way through the classroom to some open seats, each person stared. They even began to crowd, so Tyson had to get them away. "Come on people! Move over!" her said, but no one really listened. Amunet had had enough. She wasn't a big fan of crowds, she didn't really know why. "Out of the way!" she said, loudly and very firmly. All eyes turned to her, even Tyson was surprised. The girls continued to their seats next to Hilary and Tyson. "Good morning, class." a woman said quietly to the children, "Please take your seats." "That's Miss , the teacher." Hilary whispered to Kimi, who already had her books out, ready to begin learning. Kimi was the brainy one of the three; she was always intent on learning. As long as Ridea and Amunet could remember, Kimi won spelling bees and trivia games, and got the highest scores on tests. Thus leading to Kimi's great use of strategy in beyblading. Eyes wide, Kimi slowly stretched out her arm. Miss looked to her, "Yes?" "I uh...can't read that." she said quietly, pointing to the notes on the board. "Can the other two of you read japanese?" Miss asked them. Ridea and Amunet nodded. Ridea was japanese, and Amunet was partly japanese. Both could read and write japanese, english, and egyptian writing, while Kimi could only write two out of three. "This is going to be harder than I thought." Kimi sighed.
/End of First Day at School/
Ridea, Amunet, and Kimi walked 'home' with Tyson and Hilary. Cars and kids on bikes wizzed by, throwing dirt and dust into the air around them. Ridea and Kimi both had envelopes in their hands, ready to be sent to their family members. As there were dropped into the mailbox, Tyson asked Amunet, "Aren't you going to send something?" Amunet looked down at her feet. She always did that when she was uncomfortable in any way. "I...don't have any family." She replied, trying not to sound offended. She was very sensative about what she now called her 'old' life. Amunet would do anything to leave the pain behind. "Oh...what happened to them?" Tyson asked, regardless of Amunet's feelings. Amunet walked faster, putting a half block between herself and them, silent and on the verge of tears. 'Why do I have to be so weak like this?!' she screamed in her head. Ridea and Kimi were uncertain, should they tell the Bladebreakers or keep it a secret even longer? Ridea was slightly angry, "Never ask that question again if you want to live." Tyson looked embaressed as he apologized. Tyson's house was in sight. Kimi was very thankful to see Max and Ray battling. Maybe that would cheer Amunet up? "C'Mon, let's go watch!" Kimi and Ridea said happily. They seized her arm, but Amunet pulled away. "No. I need to meditate for a bit." "I'll join you later on." Kimi sighed, heading to the beydish with Ridea. "Ridea," she whispered, "we need to get Amunet to blade." "Why?" Ridea asked, puzzled. "She needs to lighten up!" Kimi explained. They both nodded, walking to Hilary. They explained to her their plan, and she made Tyson apologize again, and get her to battle.
/After the Match/
Amunet had lost. She put forth no effort and barely payed attention. Her mind was elsewhere, and she was in a low mood. Tyson said nothing about his win, since he too knew she wasn't trying. The teens filed into the dojo, getting ready to sleep. The rest of the school week would rush by quickly.
