Chapter 2: Tea with the Bladebreakers

The Bladebreakers escorted Cassie to her Auntie's house to drop off her bags. They were still curious to learn more about Cassie and so invited her to the cafe in the local BBA training centre. Max ordered a Pepsi Max, Tyson a Sprite, Ray and Kenny had Orange Tango, Hilary had apple juice, Kai had water and Cassie had a cup of tea (much to the suprise of everyone except Hilary, who knew of Cassie's love for the drink).

"So Cassie, what brings you to Japan?" asked Rei in his usual friendly tone.

The girl looked at her lap and began twiddling the end of her shirt. Her face showed sadness.

"Well... um, my parents are getting divorced so I've kinda been shipped over here to stay with my Aunt. At least until my Mum comes over and we can start our new life here"

An awkward silence followed until Cassie started to giggle quietly.

"Whats so funny?" asked a puzzled Tyson.

"I can't believe I'm actually drinking tea with the world champ Bladebreakers" smiled Cassie who was obviously trying to change the subjest as soon as possible. "Hey maybe I could come watch you blade sometime."

Kai eyed her sharply before rising out of his chair and turning to leave.

"Dude where you going?"

"In case you haven't noticed Tyson, we've wasted half a day of training already." He looked at Cassie when he said 'wasted'. "I suggest you join me in 20 minutes to catch up on lost time," and with that he walked away.

"Nice to meet you Kai," said Cassie sweetly

"Hmph"

A hurt looking Cassie turned to Hilary "Was it something I said?"

"Don't worry about him, he's always like that," reassured her friend

"Yeah he's not exactly what you call social," added Max

"And I don't fink he likes people watching us train," said Rei "Afterall, so many people have tried to learn our techniques."

"And steal your Bitbeasts," added Kenny

The Bladebreakers then told Cassie of their adventures since they first became a team, including the events with Team Psykick, Dr Zagart and Zeo.

"Well, well... You guys have had a lot of adventures haven't you. I can see why Kai's cautious of others watching him train. Maybe I shouldn't come see you train, I mean, if it's going to upset him..."

"Nonsense, we'd love you to come watch us train. It'll give you a chance to see meet beat Tyson."

"Oh haha very funny Max."

"Speaking of training, I think it's time you guys went to train or Kai'll have a fit!"

"Yeah Kenny, I guess you're right" replied Rei. "Come on guys, you coming girls?"

"Um, we'll join you later Rei," said Hilary "I'd like to catch up with Cassie first, if that's ok."

"Sure thing. Ok see you both later, it was really nice to meet you Cassie, bye."

The boys said their goodbyes and headed off to train with Kai. Both girls immeadiately began 'catching up' with each other. There was a slight pause before Cassie said,

"So what's the real with Kai then?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well why's he so secretive and cut away from the group, the others seem so close"

"Kai is close, he just doesn't like to show it. It's just the way he is."

"But why though? I mean, something must have happened to make him like that." - Hillary turned away from her friend and sighed.

"Something did happen," she said sadly. "Look I don't think Kai would want you to know, but I know I can trust you...."

And so Hilary began to tell Cassie about Voltaire and Boris and how Kai had been brought up in the Biovolt Abbey. Followed by the story of Black Dranzer and the Russian tournament. Some of the details were a bit sketchy because Hilary only knew what the boys had told her, seen as she wasn't part of the team at that time. Even so, Cassie was still shocked by the story.

"Kai never talks about it, so you mustn't say anything about it to anyone."

"I promise I won't, don't worry... Still it explains why he's so mysterious."

Hilary looked at her friend. "You like him, don't you?"

"What makes you think that?"

"I know that twinkle in your eye. You do don't you?"

Cassie smirked. "What can I say, mysterious people just intrigue me. Plus you gotta admit, he is pretty cute."

"Well good luck is all I can say"

"Still...." Cassie took a sip from her tea "That Tyson's pretty cute too."

"If you like that sort of thing," snorted Hilary.

"So you're not interested in him?"

"Why would I be interested in that arogant, stupid pig?" Hilary took a sip from her drink.

"Maybe I could try my luck with him then, he seemed to like me..."

Hilary began to choke on her drink, spraying apple juice all over the table. Whilst still choking she deperately tried to dry the table with her napkin. Cassie stared at her in amusement, laughing immensely.

"Don't worry Hil, I'm only messing with you. I can see you like Tyson; you can have him all to yourself!"

Hilary scoffed before returing to mop herself up. Cassie smiled to herself; she knew when her firend like someone but she also knew how stubborn Hilary could be.
Never in a million years would Hillary admit to liking them.

"We'd best be joining the guys now," said the brunette once she's finshed mopping herself.

"You sure I can come? I don't think Kai will like me being there."

"Don't worry, if he moans, I'll sort him out."

With that the two girls went off to find the boys at the BBA training stadiums.

So was it bad? It was wasn't it? Well as I keep saying, the story will get better (I hope) Anyhow the action will start probably in around chapters 5 and 6. Until then, c ya.
