Hi guys ! I'm back with another chappie. Enjoy !
Chap. 24 : Shopping with Carol is SO Weird
" CAROL ! CAN YOU WALK ANY FASTER !" yelled the poor captain. Carol was walking slowly behind Kai, deep in her thoughts.
" Yes ?" asked Carol, pretending she didn't hear anything.
" Can you walk faster ?" repeated Kai, his left eyebrow twitching dangerously.
" C'mon dude ! Enjoy the night scene ! Tell me, do you go out often on a breezy night ? No right ? So enjoy it !" said Carol as she patted Kai's back, smiling.
' I'm exhausted. I need a break and I can't believe I'm actually out here for some stupid shopping with a girl rather than training or getting some rest.' Thought kai sarcastically.
Flashback
" Oh no you don't." said Kai, sweating nervously.
" That's it. You're going to do some shopping. Go change your clothes." Commanded Carol like a nanny as she tossed some clothes on Kai's head.
" Why should I ?" asked Kai, narrowing his eyes.
" Because I said so. You don't expect me to go out like this." Said Carol.
" Maybe it is a good idea for you to go rather than me. Girls often do the shopping rather than boys you know." Said Kai.
" Don't you know that I have weird opinions ?" smirked Carol.
" I'm not going." Said Kai stubbornly.
" Like I'm gonna take that excuse." Mumbled Carol.
" I heard that." Said Kai dangerously.
" And what are you gonna do about it ? Get a knife and murder me ?" asked Carol, frowning.
" I'm not going." Said kai again.
" You expect me to take that ? Well young man, I won't. You're going there no matter what happens." Said Carol like a mother lecturing her son.
" Whatever. I'm not going and that's final."
" Two choices : Choice no. 1, you go ALONE; choice no. 2, I go with you. Which one is it ?" asked Carol.
" Choice no. 3, I won't go. And that's the choice I pick." Added Kai.
" Fine, I'll decide. Choice no. 2." Decided Carol.
" WHAT !"
" You heard me. Now get going and change." Ordered Carol like a commander.
End of Flashback
" You will pay." Muttered Kai darkly.
" Sorry ? Didn't catch that." Said Carol.
" Shut your ass now."
" Whatever. Finally, we're here." Said Carol as the two teens entered the shop.
After getting a bottle of yellow lotion,
" Hey kai ! I'm getting some things if you don't mind !"
" As you can see, I DO mind because you are wasting my time." Said Kai, irritated.
" Awww, c'mon Kai. PLEASE ?" begged Carol, showing him her puppy-eyes. She knew kai couldn't resist it.
" Don't know how you got me into this. But in return, " he smirked, " 4 in the morning for training." He added, still smirking.
" Does that include Maxie and the others ?" asked Carol.
" You can read minds ?" asked kai with interest.
" No. Just guessing. Anyway, who's gonna wake up Maxie and Tyson ?" asked Carol.
" You wake up Tyson while I wake up Max."
" Sigh. Will Mariam and the others be joining ?" asked Carol hopefully.
" Depends. Now shut your ass and get your things. I want to rest." Ordered Kai.

Shopping with Carol was okay. Not too bad.
' At least I don't have to carry bags." Thought Kai as he did the usual post-closing his eyes and leaning against the wall.
" Kai ! Help me with this !" yelled Carol.
' Guess I was wrong.' Thought Kai.
" A little help here ?" said Carol as she handed Kai a bag with some miscellaneous.
" What are those ?" asked Kai, pointing towards the bag.
" For my desk, stupid. Will I be buying crystals for the door ?" snapped Carol.
" What else ?" asked Kai as he took the bag. " HOLY BULLSHIT ! What did you put inside there ? Rocks ! " asked Kai.
" Don't tell me the almighty Kai Hiwatari can't even hold a bag full of miscellaneous." Said Carol, raising an eyebrow.
" Only wondering." Said Kai in a monotone.
" Hmm. Then you better keep your strength. This is only the first one. I plan on buying three bags. Don't worry my pal, one of them will be clothes." Smiled Carol as she left poor Kai to take the heavy bag that was full of misc. ( Don't mind if I put short forms right ? )
/ Remind me to give her extra training tomorrow than the others, Dranzer./
/ NO ! She's only a girl. Why not let Tyson do it./
/ Good idea. If I combine our ideas, Carol AND Tyson will have it./
/ Carol is only a girl./
/ Who cares. She's just a tom-boy./
/ HEY ! I'm a female too you know./
/ That's only her repayment for making me stay up after a TIRING day./
/ If you do that, I'll ruin your practice tomorrow by making you lose and when you battle Tyson, I'll let Dragoon win./
/ Shut up if not it's off to KFC you go./
/ You don't scare me. Without me, you're gonna lose./
/ Oh whatever. I'll let Tyson have it. Happy now /
/ Indeed. Very as a matter a fact./
Kai sweatdropped as Dranzer's feminine voice disappeared from his mind.
( At Carol's side … )
Carol was walking along the shops.
' Hmm… Maybe I should buy kai a gift. But then again, no. But then again, he helped me. Oh, I guess I should. But what ?' she thought as she browsed the shops, looking for a gift suitable for a cold and distant captain. Suddenly, an idea struck her.
' Hey ! I know !' she thought suddenly as she went to a shop. Soon, she was out from the shop, carrying a bag as she headed towards Kai. When she was there, Kai was sinking deep in his thoughts.
" Kai !" she called but no answer.
" KAI !" she yelled but still no answer.
" EARTH TO KAI ? " yelled Carol, waving a hand in front of him.
Kai snapped back into reality. " What do you want ?" he asked coldly.
" Help me to keep this for the mean time. And no peeking." Added Carol strictly as she ran off.
' What's so secretive about her.' Thought Kai as he took a sneak peek inside the bag. Kai was puzzled when he saw what was inside. Inside there was a stalk of coloured paper and a card.
' What's she gonna do ?' thought Kai with interest.
" HEY KAI ! Were you peeking ?" asked carol suspiciously.
" No. I was looking at the crystals." Lied kai. Lucky for him, the bags were all white colour. ( Phew ! Lucky chap isn't he )
" Since when do you have an interest in crystals ?" asked Carol. She felt something fishy about this.
" Since just now and thanks to you, I lost it." Said Kai sarcastically.
" Oh sorry." She apologized sarcastically. " C'mon. One last shop and its home we go."
" I thought someone said before : Two full bags and it's enough. Unless it's groceries." Said Kai sarcastically as he mimicked Carol's voice.
" Yeah, yeah whatever. Sue me." Mumbled Carol. ' All thanks to you I bought that thing as a gift. I need to take another bag !' Thought Carol.
As soon as they went to the shop, Kai's eyes immediately went wide. VERY wide as a matter of fact. Inside was filled with THOUSANDS and THOUGHSANDS of miscellaneous like table lamps, photo frames, magazines, some fast food, cute plushies, stationery and many more. It even had sold attack rings that Kai was looking for. Kai took one up and took a look at it. The quality was good and it was cheap too.
" Like what you see ?" smirked Carol.
" Now this is what I call shopping heaven." Said Kai as he looked around the beyblades parts section while Carol went on looking for some things to put on her desk. Soon, it was time to go. Kai bought an attack ring that suited Dranzer perfectly and Carol just bought a vase.
" Why do you buy that ?" asked Kai with interest.
" To make the desk look better." Smiled Carol as they exited the entrance.
" This is the best shopping I've been to. Although it feels quite weird though." Said Kai quietly.
" Why ?"
" You don't buy those yucky stuffs don't you ?" asked Kai as he looked down at Carol's tired and pale face. " What's wrong ?" he asked. He suddenly realized that he had grown a bit of careness to Carol. He wondered why.
" It's nothing. Just tired. And those stuffs aren't really girly but I don't really like them. It's just other people's opinion on what they think about it." Replied Carol, shrugging.
" Uh-huh. I still don't get it." Said Kai.
" Sigh, you males won't understand females." Said Carol, shaking her head.
" Whatever." Said Kai.
-
As soon as the two teens got back to their room, Kai immediately lied down on the bed and slept straight away. Carol was watching this with interest. ( I seem to use this word a lot in this chap don't I )
' Is he that tired ? Poor Kai.' She thought. ' Oh well, guess I better start working on folding these birds or I'll never get it done.' She added as young teen took out the paper from the plastic bag and started to fold.
-
Until midnight, Carol still haven't got to sleep yet. She was still folding those paper birds. Once one of them were finished, Carol will just put them in the container she bought. She wanted to do 100 out of them and she was only beginning to do the 20th one.
/ Hey mistress ! It's already MIDNIGHT /
/ Oh shut your beak you bloody chicken. /
/ I know you're tired./
/ Oh just let me do it. Gotta give these to Kai before Friday / ( It's Monday in the story for your info. )
/ Come on ! We still have so many days left /
/ No./
/ Come on./
/ No./
/ You're being stubborn./
/ So /
/ You love Kai./
/ So what if I do /
/ Argh ! Taunting you is not fun anymore / yelled Blazarine childishly as his voice disappears from Carol's mind. Carol smiled with triumph.
' Looks like I win.' She smirked as she yawned. ' Maybe Blazarine was right. It is getting late. Better sleep now.' She thought as she cleaned the spot she was sitting at and went to sleep.
Okay guys. I'm really sorry if this chap was a disappointment. I'm REALLY sorry. I just can't picture Carol buying other stuffs although I can picture th look on Kai's face. lol. Anyway, I'm sorry !
