SaisaishiDragon: Thanks so much for the reviews, guys:) I mean it. I love to hear that you guys like my writing. Oh! I'm thinking of posting another one.. Some of you guys might not like it, but.. Eh, anyway! Disclaimer! I don't own Zoids, any of the characters, or anything else that may appear in this chappy. Oh! One more thing. I'd like to thank everyone that influenced the continuation of this story. My son Sky for one ( Thanks baby!), my friends, and my family. Thanks guys! Okay then. Now that all that's settled, let's get on with the story!
Leena sighs, shaking her head. "Did he have to be here today? Why? Why today of all days?" She glances over at me, still skeptic about my story. "Are you sure you didn't hit him?" I groan a bit, looking back over at her. "I swear it. If I had hit him, there would have been a mark." She nodded, reassured for the time being, and turned her attention back to the spot she had been staring at for hours. She was still uneasy when she was around him, fidgeting around, nibbling at her lip. Finally, she stood up and started walking back to her room, murmuring something about having papers to grade. I sat outside Leena's door, listening to her talk softly to herself as she graded papers. She must have sensed me outside the door, because she turned the radio on, cranking the volume up so that her soft murmuring couldn't be heard. I sigh, shaking my head a bit, and slip into my room, reluctantly taking my shirt off, then slipped out of my jeans A.N. still in his boxers though, so don't be thinking like that before climbing into bed.
The next day passed slowly. Harry's sister had come to get him and when she arrived, he was still knocked out. Just around 5, I heard Leena's door open and close, so I got up, grabbed my clothes, and headed towards the shower. Without thinking, I opened the bathroom door, and walked in, draping my clothes and towel over the side of the sink, and slid my boxers off, stepped into the shower, and realized the water was already running. I blink a bit, opening my eyes to see Leena, staring at me with bewildered, yet angered eyes. Strangely enough, she said nothing and just turned around, grabbing the soap, and kept washing herself. It took me a minute to realize her face had turned bright red. I smirked bit, walking up behind her, and wrap my arms around her waist, pressing myself up against her.
"What's wrong, Leena?" She flinches a bit, obviously not expecting me to react like this. But I was enjoying the reaction I was getting, so I continued. "Leena, can't we talk like we used to?" I smiled, delicately tracing my hands up along her sides. "Like we did in the old days. Back when we were on the team, when we were invincible. Don't you remember that. Talk we had?" I felt her shudder at the memory and smiled. Slowly, I pulled away from her and took the soap from her, starting to wash myself. Suddenly, I feel arms lightly wrapping around my waist, and Leena's head appears under my arm, and she smiles up at me. "Bit, how could I forget?" I smiled back, but continue to wash my self.
Well, somehow washing myself turned into washing her. Washing herself turned into washing me. And if that were strange enough, all of that turned into kissing. But I couldn't let it go on in the direction it was heading. Slowly, I pulled away from Leena. Hell yes I was reluctant and it hurt me when she looked up at me with that disappointment in her eyes. "School.." was all I managed to whisper to her and she nodded. We both rinsed off and slipped out of the shower, dried ourselves off, dressed, and headed out of the house. We of course took our zoids, why wouldn't we? It was the finals after all. Luckily for us, we were able to stop by a fast-food restaurant. So after our extravagant $8.52 meal, tax included, we continued on our way and made it to the school before the students began to arrive, and waited for Harry's sister to arrive with the zoids that were going to be used in the finals. A.N. Good God, I'm tired of calling her 'Harry's sister. Anyone know her name?
By the time the bell for 1st period rang, we had everything set up on the field, including our own zoids. Leena took a clipboard from the drawer on her desk, made copies of the list of the students' names in all her classes, got her pen, and sat behind the desk, waiting for the students to enter the classroom. I took a seat beside her, casually leaning back in an extra desk chair, and watched as the anxious students filed into the room. Some of them glanced my way, murmuring to their friends and laughing to themselves. Most of the ones doing so seemed to be girls, so I just ignored it, turning my attention back to the door. When everyone seemed to be in class, Leena stood up, calling out the last names of the students on her list, and waited for them to call out "Here" before she nodded in acknowledgement of their presence and put a check next to their name.
Smiling to herself, she turns her face up to look at the class. "Alright. Grab your leave your stuff here and head outside. I want every last one of you to be there before me or you all will be running around the track three times for your finals!" With that, they all took off running. She looks at me, smirking. "That means you too." My eyes widen and I jump up, running out the door as she takes off after me and I slow down. "Wait a minute.. I don't even know where the field is!" She grins at me, coming passed me. "Well then. I suggest you find out quickly." I groan a bit, catch sight of on of the girls I had seen in her class earlier, and run towards her.
Coming up to the group of students, I slow down, glancing back to see her now taking her time to get there. I scowl at her a bit, but she only grins in response. The girl groans a bit, turning to face me. "She won't even give her guests a break?" I smile at her, shaking my head a bit. "In her defense, I really deserved it for what I've done to her in the past." I turn my attention back to the entire class, taking in the fact that one of the students was sitting by himself, clad completely in black, and he stared right back at me. We kept this staring contest going, the tension steadily growing before I could no longer look at him, and looked away.
Leena blinks a bit, catching the last few seconds of it before turning to look at me. "I see you've met Sean." I shrug, turning to look at her. "So.. What exactly are we doing today." Leena grins, climbing to her Gun Sniper and motions me towards the Liger. "We are just going to judge. The students on the other hand are going to be battling zoids that are programmed to fight all out. And before you ask, no it's not a risk to the students." I climb into the cockpit of Liger, still uneasy about the thought of Sean in a zoid, but I shrug the feeling away and close the cockpit. The battles seemed to go on forever, one after the other, and each of them were able to take out the zoid they were pitted against.
Then it was Sean's turn. I shuddered, glancing at Leena. Sean turned and jumped into the cockpit of a zoid I hadn't noticed was there before. The Hound Soldier lifted it's head, looking around a second as if to orient itself, and turns to the Iron Kong before it. Sean smirked, taking hold of the controls, and walked forward, flipping a switch and a little target locker A.N. Meh.. Sorry.. I can't think of what it's really called. came out and he looked through it, locking onto the Iron Kong as it slowly made it's way towards him. Hitting a little red button, the foot locks dropped and the Hound Soldier opened it's mouth wide and what looked like a little sniper rifle started to glow a bit. Bit's eyes widened as he realized what it was. He did a quick survey and realized that there was too much at risk to do nothing.
Quickly, he bolted towards the Iron Kong, swerved around it, and turned to face it's back, and braced himself. Sure enough, only a split-second later, an earth shaking shot was fired, cutting through everything in it's path and shot straight through the Iron Kong, grazing the top of the Liger's head a bit. Needless to say, the Iron Kong collapsed to the ground. But Sean wasn't done. He raised the foot locks and charged at the other zoids, to laser blades, identical to those of the Schneider's, and sliced through the other Zoids that the students had yet to emerge from. Bit growled, turning quickly enough to see the attack coming and sidestepped it. Quickly, he jumped back to a safe distance and glowered at Sean.
