Chapter twenty one: Training and explanations.
Isis let her blade return to her gloved hand.
"So what do you think?" She asked him.
Kai nodded. Though his features were unemotional.
"You need to respond faster when Dragweena pulls it off; but with that exception it's a good idea."
"I told you it was." She said triumphantly. He smirked and wrapped his arms around her. "So now we've figured out the perfect doubles attack can we please get something to eat?" She asked him, not whining but she knew he was hungry too after training for so long.
"Hm..." He muttered in her ear.
"Please." She murmured. "I'll die of hunger if we don't then you won't have a doubles partner."
"Well in that case I'd better find another doubles partner." He told her smirking. She scowled and he smirked harder. "If you can get it right this time then we can go."
"You mean perfect you slave driver." She grumbled escaping his grasp and setting Dragweena to her launcher.
"That's what I said." He said, doing the same.
Joseph finally got the fire going. Almost three hours after it had accidentally being put out by Isis. He shouted triumphantly and grinned. Pointing at it boastfully.
"Ha! I told you I would get it done!" He told them.
Everyone rolled their eyes and got back to what they were doing, mainly talking and discussing beyblades.
"Come on you guys! I spent all day on it!" He complained. Mariam laughed, though not unkindly, at his disappointed pout.
"Yeah we Max got it started in five minutes Bro." She told him lazily, not trace of a blush. "Hmm. I'm hungry, who wants food?" She asked.
Mariah giggled.
"I'll help you cook." She offered. "I heard what you and Isis managed to do with the Waffles so I guess you need help."
Mariam scowled playfully and stuck her tongue out.
"That was not funny." She complained. "Where is Isis anyway? Shouldn't Kai and her be back by now?"
"Knowing those two they'd probably be finished training and snogging each other out of sight from us lot." Hilary grinned; joining the conversation.
They all giggled. Now completely ignoring the boys, who were vainly trying not to listen to their conversation.
Isis and Kai finally arrived back at the camp. They looked exhausted, physically and mentally drained. Barely able to keep on their feet for wanting to sleep.
"Whoa! That happened to you two?" Mariam asked them, both she and Hilary rushed over to Isis as she stumbled slightly.
"Next time we're training Kai. I want to call the shots." She murmured, yawning. "Wake me up when Ty and the rest come, k? Night..." She mumbled her orders to Mariah before falling into the girl's tent and falling asleep immediately.
Kai just nodded and collapsed down next to the fire. Scowling at it as though it was his worst enemy.
"What the hell went on during your training?" Joseph asked him. "I know she's hot but..."
Ozuma sniggered.
Kai gave him a death glare.
"Shut your mouth Joseph." He threatened.
"Shut your mouth Joseph." Joseph snickered, mimicking him.
Kai ignored him; resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
"I'm surprised you let a girl on the team Kai." Ozuma told him leisurely.
Kai stared at him, wondering where that came from.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.
"It means why the hell is your girlfriend on the pissing team." Dunga growled.
Kai felt himself reel.
What the...
"Isis is the Euro beychamp." He told them frigidly.
"Yeah, you wonder how she got there?" Joseph smirked.
Thump.
"Never talk about her like that again." He shouted at the fallen boy, who was nursing his bleeding cheek.
All three looked stunned.
Kai threw them a disgusted look and walked off.
The screech of a jeep awoke the two sleeping bladers. Isis and Kai.
"See you guys later! Doubles are tomorrow!" Hairo's voice rang though out the camp.
"Ozuma! What you doing here!"
"Max! Wahoo!"
"How was it?"
Isis stumbled out of her tent. Suddenly wide awake.
"We drew!" Max said ecstatically.
"So you didn't win." Kai said calmly.
"If we didn't help the other team they wouldn't have gotten back to their team." Ray cut in angrily.
"It was totally creepy. It was like if you didn't get out, if you didn't win, then you wouldn't live to regret it." Tyson shuddered.
"I thought it was a two out of three?" Isis asked, confused.
"It was an obstacle course. We had to get Kenny out of there as well." Ray remembered.
Max and Tyson brought him out of the Jeep and laid him down gently on a sleeping bag Mariah had brought out of the girls tent.
"Ty, there should be a first aid box in your tent." Isis instructed him. Tyson nodded and slipped off into the tent. "Does anyone know first aid?" She asked them all.
No-one answered.
"Isis." Tyson called out, throwing her the box. She caught it, though nearly dropped it. Tyson scrambled over.
"What? No-one knows any at all?" He said, surprised.
Isis gave him a sly look.
"You do. The amount of times you bandaged me up after falling out of trees."
Flashback...
"Tyson!" A raven haired girl, around eight, came up to him. Sporting a small cut on her forehead. He ran over to her worried.
"How'd you do that Ice!" He asked her, dragging her into the kitchen and getting out the first aid kit.
"A boy told me girls do blade so I bit him." She told him cheerily.
He sighed and started cleaning the gash.
"What excuse are you gonna make for grandpa?"
"Fell out of a tree."
End Flashback...
Tyson flushed, embarrassed, and then got on with it. He carefully cleaned the wound on Kenny's head and bandaged it up because they couldn't find any big enough plasters.
Luna RavenCroft: Hey peeps! Er... one pretty pointless chapter but it brought Ray and co. back from the 'test' thingy. I promise the next will (hopefully) be a little bit more interesting. Oh, and Ice was Isis' nickname when she was little. Just so ya know!
