May I see some I.D.?
Chapter 1
Notify me if you see any grammar errors. I'm trying to get them all out. That's right! I'm back!
By the way: The Prologue and this chapter are the only ones in Kai's POV.
I woke up a little earlier than usual. It was the day for D to come. Her plane was due to show up in 11 hours. It was 3:00 in the morning. I sat on my bed staring at the wall in front of me with an unreadable stare. I sat there until 10:00. That's when my doorbell rang. I opened the door to see Tyson Kinomiya out there. He was part of my Beyblading team. The most annoying one on the team, I might add.
"What do you want?" I asked, coldly.
"The team's gonna practice together. You want to come?"
"No" I said, showing no emotions at all. I was good at that. I tried to close the door and leave it at that, but Tyson blocked the door.
"Why not?" He asked.
"I have somewhere to be." I said.
"Where?" Tyson asked.
"Do you have to know everything?"
"Yeah, I want to know why you're not going to show up!" I sighed mentally. He was going to find out about D eventually. I guess I'd tell him.
"I have to pick a friend up from the airport." I said.
"Really?" Tyson exclaimed. "Can we come?"
"Excuse me?"
"Can the team come? We'll help you say hi to him"
"Her"
"It's a girl?" Tyson asked, astonished. "I would have never expected that from you, Kai." I ignored that statement.
"You can't come." I said.
"Why not?" I was tempted to say 'she'll never come back if she sees you' but I didn't.
"I don't think that the sight of you will welcome her here very much."
"Aw, come on." Tyson said. "We'll be good!" God! Did he just start pouting? He was fakely getting all teary eyed. I didn't think that was very funny.
"You can go if you shut up." I said, rolling my eyes. I gave up. The Ivisi I used to know would've been mad as hell at me if I hadn't invited him to come with me, anyway. I wonder if D would give a damn, now.
"Really!" Tyson yelled.
"Whatever" I said. "Just be back by 1:00 or I'm leaving without you.
"Ok! I'll go tell the others!" He ran off. I rolled my eyes and shut the door.
We finally arrived at the airport. Tyson, Rei, Max, and I got out of the car.
"Wow!" Max said. "Kai's friends with a girl?"
"Yeah, I know!" Tyson exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and ignored them. Rei was quiet. He was the only one on the team that I could stand.
We walked in the airport and finally got to the area where everyone was getting off the plane. We waited until finally everyone was off the plane.
"Where is she?" Rei asked. I had expected that I wouldn't recognize her. I hadn't seen her since she was 3 so I wouldn't recognize her, anyway. But D and I had a trick. I was silent but all of a sudden I blurted out:
"May I see some I.D.?" A girl from behind a column came out and looked at me.
"Who said my name?" She asked. I was shocked. So was she. She dropped both the bags she was carrying. I couldn't think straight. That was Ivisi?
"Damn! She is fine." Tyson said. I had to admit he was right- wait a second! First of all: this is Tyson. He is never right. Second of all: We're talking about my childhood friend, Ivisi. We're just friends.
"Don't hit on D, Tyson, or you'll answer to me." I said. I walked over to D and gave her a hug.
"Hey, D" I said when we pulled out of the hug.
"Hey, Kai." I.D. said, trying to smile but failing. She was skinnier than I thought she'd be. Ivisi loved junk food when she was little. I hadn't expected this of her.
"You brought friends?" Ivisi asked, seeing the rest of the bladebreakers. "That's different." she said. Even way back when, when I was 4, I never had friends. None except for her.
"This is Tyson Kinomiya, Rei Kon, and Max Mizuharra."
"Hi, boys!" Ivisi said with the most cheerful sounding voice that I had heard since way back.
"Guys this is…"
"Ivisi Deoxys Detari" D interrupted. She had a habit of using her middle name when she introduced herself. I had always told her not to do that.
"Nice to meet you." Tyson said in a flirtatious way. I glared at him and he backed off, though.
When we were done dropping everyone off and giving Ivisi a tour around town (Tyson insisted), we arrived at my house. I offered to carry her bags in for her but she, as expected, yelled at me not to treat her like a lady and more like one of the guys or she'll whoop my ass. I wouldn't doubt it. Ivisi's tough. But I could beat her. I have before.
"Where do I sleep?" D asked. I paused. Come to think of it I hadn't really thought about it.
"You can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch" I said, not even realizing what I was saying.
"Excuse me?" D said. "Hell no! What did I just say about treating me like a lady? I said… blah blah blah blah" That's all I heard. I just tuned her out.
"Fine." I said. "Sleep on the couch. See if I care." I walked away and I.D. nodded.
"You bet you don't" she said.
"You want something to drink?" I asked.
"Um… sure." Ivisi said. "I'll just have some water" I knew her better than that. She would never want just water. I got it for her anyway. I came back to the living room to see her already asleep on the couch. Poor Ivisi. I…
I left her water on the coffee table and put a blanket over her. It was weird. Some people sleep with smiles on their faces; some people are calm and have an innocent look; others toss and turn, but D had a look of pure pain on her face. It scared me…
