Chapter 26: Revelations.
Tension suddenly stiffened dramatically, everyone couldn't breathe for it. Everyone fell silent in shock, frozen solid with a knowing surprise of what he had said.
No-one moved for a while. Not knowing what to do or what to say. Ray and Max eyed their team captain nervously; trying to anticipate his next move. Mariam looked furious with Ozuma and Joseph; steam literally pouring out of her ears. Tyson and Hilary looked completely shocked, at a loss for words for once. Mariah had immediately glanced over to her friend; who had paled considerably and was now shaking, her fists clenched; she glimpsed Kai, noticing his eyes; that had narrowed and were sending Ozuma foreboding looks, his fists were also clenched in fists.
God don't hit him Kai.
Why not? He deserves it Mariah.
She jumped; it had been a while since Galux had spoken to her.
Dunga and Joseph were trying hard to smirk, trying hard to not to snigger at the dumbfounded group. Joseph at his team captain, who was now eyeing an extremely infuriated Kai; and Dunga, who was smirking at an extremely infuriated Kai, he had never really liked Kai that much, not since he had been defeated by him all those years ago.
"Sat that again Ozuma." Kai whispered threateningly.
"What? That I find Mizz Raven cute?" He mocked; both sent each other defiant stares.
Where have I heard that before? Isis mused she realized with a jolt.
Flashback...
Isis walked down to the breakfast bar. She noticed uncomfortably the looks she was receiving by the all male teams.
"Hey! You! Mizz Raven!" Some arrogant blader called out. She stopped and turned around, to identify the lad who shouted at her.
"Me?" She asked. "What do you want?"
"Your cute, you work on the ferry?"
"No,"
"Oh, you tagging along?"
"Of course not." She told him, her voice severe.
"You on a team?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yes." She said; her eyes sharper than before.
"Which one?"
"Why?" She asked him.
"Fine then, tell me your name sugar." He told her. She decided to let him now that.
"Isis Kinomiya. You'll know me as the Sliver Phoenix." She began walking again, letting it sink in. She heard laughter from the other side of the room.
End Flashback...
"It was you! You!" Isis yelled suddenly. "You were on the ferry! Why I ought to..." She began to yell.
"No shit Sherlock." Ozuma smirked. "Though you were much friendlier then." He added smugly.
"Why you!" She lunged at him, pure fury in her eyes.
Max and Ray grabbed her arms; preventing her from attacking him. She thrashed about; trying to escape their grasp. She nearly screamed in frustration. Kai strode over to Ozuma; who was glaring defiantly back at the infuriated teen.
Smack.
Ozuma was sent flying to the floor. He wiped his mouth slowly, feeling the blood trickle out of his mouth. His eyes narrowed, angry sparks emitting out of both of them.
Isis finally managed to escape Max and Ray's grip. She didn't run though; all her initial fury had faded. She glanced at Ozuma and then to Kai.
"Hey." She nudged him playfully on the shoulder. "Just leave him okay?" She murmured in his ear. He turned around and held her tightly. She rested her head on his chest. Not noticing the protective look on Kai's face as he kissed her hair lightly.
LunaRavenCroft: Yeh, I know it's short but to be frank the lack of reviews is kinda giving me writers block. Yesh, and I'm struggling to complete the next chapy too, but I should be fine after that one. Plus, school is starting on the 1st of september so I won't be able to write as much. Sorry!
