A/N: "My Sassy Girl" actually speaks of Ray, in the BeyBlade series, falling in love, unconsciously, with a free-spirited girl that is sometimes unreasonable beyond reason, as you guys will see later, and Ray tries all sorts of plans to make her see the light. In the end… will he try further and harder to break her? Or will he finally give up?
This is my first fiction story about the BeyBlade series, so go easy on it! No flames, please! And no hate mails. Thanks. =)
My Sassy Sister
~*~*~*~
"Kai! Get your scrawny butt down here! Right! This! Instant!" her voice echoed through the stairway and reached the ears of Kai Hiwatari, who slammed his closet door shut.
"Shut the hell up, Kristen!" he shouted back at his sister, while making his way back downstairs where Kristen was waiting for him, luggage and all.
As he arrived downstairs, facing his sister, who was half a head shorter than he was, which was actually quite tall already, he yelled, ignoring the close proximity.
"Like hell I have a scrawny butt, Kristen!"
Kristen Hiwatari winced at the loudness of Kai's booming voice, rubbed her ears for awhile, and then recovered her calm composure. She smiled warmly, and leaving Kai to wonder what she was about, as she shocked him by placing her arms around his neck and burying her head in it as well. That shock made him drop his bags with a 'thud' to the parquet floor.
Kai was about to ask Kristen what she was up to when she suddenly yelled in his ear. "Like hell you don't!" Then her arms slid off his neck and the corners of her mouth curled up into a half-smirk, half-smile position. Kai's shoulders slumped, as if admitting defeat.
He just didn't know what to do with her, so he did the least logical thing.
Instead of yelling back, he smiled.
"Have you packed your things yet, little devil?" Kristen nodded her head, excitement practically oozing out of her fully matured body. She would never admit it, but she loved her brother as much as he loved her. And knowing Kai, that would be quite a difficult emotion to stir up in him.
Kai nuzzled her raven-blue hair lovingly and smiled once more. "Then let's go."
They were off to the official BladeBreakers' hostel. It was finally done, what with all the dumb renovations it had, with their stuff breaking down most of the time when they were in it previously. Then they had finally pooled up some money from doing odd jobs and renovated it.
Kristen didn't have any BeyBlade, so there was also no Bit-Beast of hers to speak of. But she was Kai's sister, and that said a lot, especially when majority of the renovation money and other resources had come from the Hiwatari finance company. Both their parents were rich people, and that explained the mansion they lived in, before the BladeBreakers were formed, that is.
Kristen didn't want to have any BeyBlade, despite all the persuading Kai had done. That would increase her status in the team, if she had at least one. But she had claimed that she had absolutely no interest in them. She thought they were pretty all right, the spinning tops. Even if she wouldn't admit that she loved watching those BeyBlades strike their opponents down to anyone. She was that stubborn.
She had finally persuaded her parents to let her stay in the hostel with her brother. What with all the working her parents had to do, they always came home during twilight hours, and although Kristen never mentioned it, Kai knew that she was always lonely when he was out, and with the other guardian of theirs, Aunt Mae. Aunt Mae was a nice old lady, but her age sometimes restricted her with the bounds of energy she would need when dealing with Kai's younger sister.
Kristen had promised to be good, along with a whole lot of things, so her parents would let her go. They did, but Kai didn't believe half a word of how Kristen promised to be good. She? Be good? That was worth a snort from anyone. She wasn't exactly bad, but she can sometimes be so unreasonable that Kai would strike her. Not that he ever did; he loved her too much to lay a hand on her anyway.
Arriving at the doorstep, Kai and Kristen both heard faint shouts from Kenny, who was also known by the BladeBreakers by the name of the 'chief', Max, a blonde American-Japanese guy who had the typical fashion sense of orange and green, and last but not least, Tyson, the 'leader' of the BladeBreakers. Kai wondered where Ray Kon, the other member of the team was, as he didn't seem to hear his voice echoing through the hallway. But then again, Ray was always the quiet one, so even if he was indeed inside there, Kai wouldn't know.
Kristen knocked on the door three times, but no one answered the door. She frowned and banged the door with her fist three times again. She waited for awhile, and hearing no response, she raised her hand once again, only to see the door swing open in front of her. And she was immediately greeted by a very cute guy of about her own age.
