Chapter 24
The Baseball Bat
A/N: sniff sniff It's so sad! Our friend Mr. Baseball Bat d-d…DIED!
Tyson: Yahoo!
Krys: I will never forget the way it always knocked Tyson unconscious!
Kiara: I will never forget the feel of it in my hands as I repeatedly hit Tyson. sob
A/N: patting Kiara on the back It's too sad so we'll just get on with the chapter.
"I can't believe that the bat is boken!" wailed Kiara holding up the fragments of her beloved bat.
"We'll just get a new one. Steel preferably," shrugged Kai. After all, it was just a bat. He took off the attack ring on his beyblade and replaced it with a new and better one.
"What are you doing?" Kiara asked putting down the bat and crossing the bed to look over Kai's shoulder.
"Fine tuning Dranzer," Kai replied putting his blade back together. He turned to Kiara. "Want to take for a test spin?"
"Really?" Kiara asked. Kai placed Dranzer in her hands. He then followed the excited Kiara outside. The night air was cool and refreshing. The waved were gently lapping on the shore.
"Launch Dranzer across the water and bring her back," said Kai pointing out toward the vast expanse of the ocean before them.
"Aren't you afraid I might lose her?" asked Kiara.
"I trust you," replied kai reassuringly. Kiara placed Dranzer into her launcher and pulled the ripcord. The blade glided across the surface of the water with ease. It then swung around and skipped back toward the shore. It landed effortlessly in Kiara's palm.
"Here you go…she's a really great blade," she commented giving Dranzer back to Kai. He stared at Kiara, took her hand and led her back to the house.
Krys walked out of the bathroom. Aia and Hilary were both waiting for their turns. Krys cautiously opened the door to her room. Rei was halfway in putting his shirt on. He quickly turned around and blushed. She lay down on the bed and let out a deep sigh. Rei quickly sat down beside her.
"So, when not participating in tournaments, where do you live?" he asked. There were still quite a few things he didn't know about Krys. He wanted to know everything about. It also felt slighlt unfair that Krys knew practically everything about him. Half of the time she could tell what he was thinking.
"I live in London. My mother is English and my father's Japanese. My mother met him on a trip to Japan. A while after they got married, I lived in Japan for most of my childhood. Shortly after I turned 9 my father's job brought us to London. I like living there but I still miss Japan," sighed Krys. Rei was watching her, clearly interested.
"When I go to tournament, I miss China sometimes. But there's nothing better than battling it out at the stadium. Even better than blading…is being with you," Rei said and whispered the last part in Krys's ear. She smiled warmly and snuugled against him. Rei hugged her tight.
Aia left the bathroom and opened her door. Her room was empty. "Max?" she asked looking around. Just then he jumped out from behind the door and pounced on her, making them both topple onto the bed.
"Ahhh!" Aia yelled. Max laughed.
"It's not funny!" pouted Aia still being pinned down.
"You look cute all flustered," said Max smiling. Aia blushed. He finally released her and climbed into bed. Aia soon followed. After a while she felt Max wrap his arms around her and press his body against hers. Aia soon drifted into a peaceful slumber.
A/N: Awww…
