Kai walked away from the dormitory, Dranzer, deciding that she didn't want to miss any of the action, followed quietly behind him.
Kai walked silently, eyes downcast, thinking about the previous night. He had asked Wyatt to join them for two reasons.
The first being to help Kyouju with their beyblades, the second to take Daichi's spot if he couldn't blade. Wyatt would be meeting them at the train station, though, he said he would be slightly late. Though, he seemed to be preoccupied on some thing or another. Kai wasn't sure what.
Kai sighed, another thing was bothering him: Dranzer. He didn't particularly want her to be in his beyblade, especially if she could come out. She had been his best friend ever since he had gotten her. Also, she was good company, never overly talkative or brute. She always knew when to keep her mouth closed and when to speak. It was a nice quality to find in someone, he thought. Dranzer would be joining them on the train ride over.
Arriving at the station, Kai saw Takao to be waiting with Max, Kyouju, and a horribly sick Daichi, though, Hiromi and Rei were no where to be found. And Wyatt would be there momentarily.
"Hi Kai!" Takao yelled at his other team mate, not noticing, or choosing not to notice, Daichi's hacking behind him. Max and Kyouju also greeted him, but they chose o acknowledge Dranzer as well. Though, Kyouju didn't look well…
Dranzer waved her recognition to the others, choosing not to get too involved, Kai did the same.
"Hey, where's Rei?" Max asked worriedly after a moment. Takao nodded, he had also noticed the missing presence of the neko-jin.
"Yeah, and the Queen of evil is missing too- not that I'm complaining." He added as an after thought, thinking about Hiromi. Though, even though he wouldn't admit it, he was worried about his two team mates.
Kai frowned a bit, Rei was usually the most prompt and dependable, he would normally be the first one there, and Hiromi followed Takao wherever he went, she should be there as well.
But just as if their prayers were answered, Rei and Hiromi came up, Rei looking worse for where. Takao ran out to help Rei, who was out of breath and seemed to be limping.
"Oh my gosh! Rei, what happened? Were you attacked?"He shrieked. Once Rei was over to the rest of the group and their luggage, he and Hiromi began retelling their story.
Rei first staggered out a short breath out and sat down on the pile of luggage near Daichi. Breathing rapidly as he did so.
"Well you see-" he chocked, " This morning I was coming here, early you know? And just as I left my door, I saw this kid, or at least I think it was a kid, and he yelled at me." Rei panted. "I tried to ignore him to make my way here, but he kept going, and finally he challenged me to a bey battle. So I excepted. And then we got started-" Rei breathed again, it seemed as if talking was too much, so Hiromi cut in.
"That's where I come in. I was walking down the street, trying to get here, when I heard Rei's voice, and he didn't sound too happy. So I ran over the hill in the road and found him to be blading against some short boy. But, the boy didn't seem to be a normal bey blader. He was really going at it with Rei, somewhat like what Bryan was doing in their battle. It was horrible" Hiromi rushed her words together, seeming to still be high on fear. "But, when I came closer the boy seemed to get mad or scared or something and ran away. And that's when I helped him to get here." She finished quietly as she patted Rei on the back softly, making note of the small, yet noticeable scratches on his cheek.
Kai and Takao shared a growl. "Do you think it was the Blade Reapers Rei!" Takao demanded as anger bubbled inside of him, at this rate their entire team would be handicapped.
"I don't know…" Rei trailed off.
"All aboard!" A man screamed out the window of the train. The group climbed the stairs and went onto the train, being met by Mr. Dickinson once inside and in their seats. "Hello boys. Hello Hiromi." He greeted happily.
"Wait!" The voice of a young boy rang out the window. Looking out, Kai saw Wyatt running as fast as he could to the train as the last whistle blew. Kai jumped up from his seat and grabbed Wyatt's hand in the door way just before it closed, pulling him inside.
Once inside, the seating arrangement changed again, their car in the train was now full. Takao sat between Max and Rai, Hiromi was next to Rei, and she would tend to the small scratches on his face every so often. Daichi was huddled onto a seat of his own, sharing it only with Mr. Dickinson. Daichi was stretched out and wheezed every few minutes, Mr. Dickinson didn't look particularly comfortable. Kai sat in the corner near a window, Dranzer was in between he and Wyatt. The morning sun shown lightly through the windows.
It would be a long ride with several transfers, even some to under ground to make it to Russia. Kai looked over at Dranzer who looked nonchalantly out of the window. Looking over the rest of his team he knew that they had hard training to come, so he would let them just enjoy the ride.
How was that? Pretty good I hope! Anyways, please read and review! Thank you!
