Sorry about the long wait. Trying to finish this story. I'm trying a new format on this story. I hope it doesn't bother anyone.
Shadow
The bladers walked down the street in a line. Max and Kira in front, Tyson and Seya behind them, Kai and Kari behind them, and Rei and Sage in the back. Sage seemed distracted. Rei looked at her. Her long blackish hair shined in the moonlight. She stared at the ground. She was wringing her hands.
"Sage? Is something wrong?"
She lifted her head, surprised.
"No! Uh, nothing's wrong. I'm fine."
Rei tried to grasp her hand, but she had it out of reach. He had the idea that he was making her uncomfortable.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Rei asked.
"Yeah."
Rei sighed. Not only does she look like Kaoru, she acts like her, too. She's hiding something from me.
She's not the only one. Driger stood ,it's tail waving back and forth, it's fur gleaming. You want to tell her. Just go ahead and do it.
Yeah, but what if she doesn't like me? What then?
You never know if you don't try. Rei rolled his eyes.
I think I'd rather not try. Driger laid down. It's your decision. I won't argue with you. Rei exhaled in relief. At least he had a reliable bit beast.
"Kari! What are you doing!" Sage flung around, fuming. Kari, apparently, had been pulling Sage and Rei closer together.
Kari shrugged. "What? You look like a good couple! You should be together. You're both characters from Rurouni Kenshin!"
Sage glared at Kari."Well, if we wanted to be together, don't you think we would be?" Rei flinched. That was it. She didn't like him. He sighed. Sage pushed Kari forward towards Kai.
"Go be with Cloud, okay, and leave us alone!"
Kari glared at Sage."Hey!"
Rei saw Sage'seyes. They were slits. Sage saw Rei staring at him and she looked away, blushing. If only he knew. If only… Sage drifted closer to Rei, their arms touching. Rei saw this, and his eyes opened in amazement. Sage looked at him, flashed a smile, and looked away. Rei took hold of her hand and grasped it tightly. Sage felt his hand slip into hers and her eyes widened. Rei saw this and he wondered. What if she does like me? Sage smiled inside and felt her heartbeat quicken. Maybe this will be a good party after all.
Yes, a very short chapter. Please read and revie-
