Lifestyle Of The Famous Blader
Disclaimer : Same as Chapter 1
(a/n Even this is set with the 3rd season clothing the Bladebreakers haven't split up ( O.O me no like them split up ). The teams are based on the 1st season )
(a/n I forgot, Daichi is in this story too...seeing it is in 3rd season clothing )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3The scenery moved by as the car rushed through Edinburgh. The car then turned on the motorway and sped toward Glasgow. The journey only lasted 45 minutes and before Kin knew it she arrived at the airport. She made sure that the make-up was hiding her scar, her shades were hiding her eyes and her beanie covered all of her hair before stepping out the car. No-one looked at her which surprised her as she had got used to the mob of fans every time she got out of a car. Katsu jumped down from the car and stood at Kin's side. Passers-by looked at Katsu and some girls 'aww'ed.
"Your baggage m'am" said one of the bodyguards.
"Thank you" she said.
She made sure that Katsu was in her rucksack ( her head popped up from the top ) so she wouldn't get lost and wheeled her suitcase into the airport. It was quite busy considering it was March, she then realised that there was only one huge queue and one slightly smaller one beside it. The screen said above the longer queue "Beyblade tournament, Japan : Spectators" and the other one said "Beyblade tournament, Japan : Competitors". She wheeled her suitcase toward the Competitors queue and everyone looked excitedly at her, some pointed. She started to feel nervous now as everyone's gaze was fixed upon her. She looked through her shades at the people in front of her. She gasped. It was the Bladebreakers. And in front of them were the White Tigers. She heard more muttering and glanced behind her. She gasped again. It was the Demolition Boys ( they're on the good side in this story ). They queued behind her. She felt a little out of place as they were all teams and she was just one person. It took a while for Kin to be at the desk.
"Good afternoon" the lady said at the desk, "may I have your passport ?"
Kin thought she might regret this but handed her passport to the woman. The lady's eyes widened as she looked at the picture and the description of Kin beside the photo. The poor woman looked up with her mouth hanging open.
"You're Kin Hotaru ? The famous Kin Hotaru ?!?" she whispered.
"Um...yeah" Kin whispered back.
"Prove it" the woman whispered.
Kin checked that no-one was looking and pulled her shades slightly downwards and pulled her beanie slightly upwards, just enough that the woman at the desk could see her eye and hair colour. The lady's mouth literally dropped to the floor.
"Oh my God, I'm your biggest fan !" she whispered.
"Uh..." said Kin at a complete loss for words.
"Can I have your autograph ? I'll promise I'll keep this meeting a secret" the woman said.
"Erm...hey...why not ?" said Kin as she reached for a spare bit of paper, "What's your name ?"
"Stephanie" she said.
Kin signed the paper and handed it to Stephanie.
"Thank you so much !" she squeaked and then she tagged Kin's suitcase and put it on the conveyer belt, "Have a safe and enjoyable flight" Stephanie said with a smile. Kin smiled back.
Only one fan , she thought, not bad .
The shops through the customs were pretty neat. The had food, clothes and book stores, also a Beyblade store which where most of the passengers were. She wondered if something there could help her win this Tournament. She wandered in with Katsu on her shoulder, looking at shelves. While she was looking at new launchers she glanced sideways. It was the Bladebreakers again. She thought that they had the same idea as she did. They passed by not noticing her then the last boy, Kai, passed then stopped. Kin quickly thought that he recognized her then he sneezed.
Oh God , Kin thought as he then went quickly into a fit of sneezes, he must be allergic to cats.
She quickly put Katsu in her rucksack and immediately he stopped. He glanced at Kin then departed quickly.
That...was weird Kin thought.
She bought a new launcher ( the one Tyson has at the Finals in Moscow in the 1st season ) and left the shop. She reached the waiting area. She sighed. The Bladebreakers chose their seats behind her favourite spot ( next to the large window ) and Kai was sitting in the seat right behind her. She went to the pharmacy and bought some Anti-Allergy From Cats and then sat down on her favourite seat. Katsu then started meowing in discomfort. Kin couldn't leave Katsu in her bag so Kin pulled Katsu out. As expected Kai started to sneeze. Kin couldn't just hand it to him personally because she would get so embarrassed. Ever since he showed up at the first Tournament on T.V Kin thought he was really good-looking. When Kai started to sneeze really badly Kin threw the Anti-Allergy high behind her and it landed on Kai's lap.
Kai's P.O.VWhy do I have this allergy ? I've never had a cat for a pet before ! Its making me go nuts !! It was alright until I passed that girl in the shop with those nice shades and beanie on then I started sneezing. Now I'm sneezing again !!
( Anti-Allergy From Cats lands on his lap )
Anti-Allergy From Cats ??? Where'd that come from ???...unless...
( he turns his head round )
It's the same girl .
Normal P.O.VKai turned his body and tapped Kin's shoulder. Kin jumped slightly and, praying that her face wouldn't turn beet red, turned her head round to stare into light purple eyes.
"Is this yours ?" he asked waving the Anti-Allergy.
"Erm...yeah...but I noticed...that you...needed it more...than me..." Kin stuttered and blushed as the purple eyes stared through her shades and, unknown to Kai, into green and blue eyes.
"Hmph...I don't need this...ah...AH...AACHOO !" he sneezed.
"You were saying" Kin smiled.
"Hmph" he just said and took one tablet.
"Hey ! Are you heading for the Tournament too ?" asked Ray when he saw Kin's blade and new launcher in her hands.
"Yeah !" Kin answered, turning fully round and kneeling on her seat to face Ray.
"Competing or watching ?" he asked.
"Competing" Kin said.
"Are you good ?" Ray asked.
"I'm ok" smirked Kin.
"I might have to watch out for you in the Tournament" Ray grinned.
"Me too" said Kin.
"I'm Ray Kon" he said coming over and extending his hand for a shake.
"Pleasure to meet you Ray" Kin said, reaching over Kai's head and shook his hand.
"This is Tyson" Ray said and motioned over to the boy and Tyson gave a wave,
"Hiya Tyson" said Kin.
"This is Max, or Maxie we sometimes call him that" Ray motioned over to him and Max gave a double thumbs-up.
"Hey Max" smiled Kin.
"You can call me Maxie" Max said.
"And that's Kai, Tyson calls him Mr. Sourpuss Mr. Sunshine etc" said Ray and pointed to the boy in front of Kin.
"Nice to meet you Kai" said Kin. Kai said nothing.
"Not the talkative one I think" asked Kin to Ray.
"Well he doesn't talk that often, usually when he does he's telling Tyson off for being an idiot, pig etc" smiled Ray.
"I see" answered Kin.
"Ok, enough about us, what's your name ?" Ray asked.
"I'm..." Kin was about to answer when the voice rang through the waiting area.
"Passengers boarding the flight to the Beyblade Tournament, Japan, please go to Gate 35...thank you"
"That's me" said Kin, picking up her rucksack and Katsu and rushing over to the Gate.
"Wait !! I don't even know your name !!" called Ray
"You'll know it when we get there ! Maybe even sooner !" Kin called and then went through the Gate doors.
"Aw man, what does she mean 'maybe even sooner' ?" sighed Ray.
"Looks like someone fancies her" said Tyson with a playful smirk and elbowing Ray on the arm.
"Shut up !" said Ray but he blushed crimson.
The Bladebreakers hauled themselves up from their seats and joined the queue going into Gate 35. The air hostesses on the plane and at the Gate looked hopeful at the Bladebreakers, Kai in particular but he just walked right passed them. Their rows were 23 and 24 seats A, B and C ( A being the window, B the middle and C the aisle ). They were surprised that Kin was in the same row, row number 23 seat F ( D being the aisle, E being the middle and F the window ). Kin had the three seats to herself, well, Katsu occupied her napping spot a.k.a Kin's lap. Kin was reading a magazine with herself on the front. She was reading the profile about herself, pen in hand and correcting the mistakes.
"You know a lot about Kin Hotaru don't ya ?" said Tyson as he watched Kin correct a mistake.
"Yeah" Kin said.
"Are some sort of fan girl or something ?" asked Tyson.
"I'm..." Kin was about to say, 'She's me you idiot !' then changed her mind, "I'm a fan girl wannabe" she said.
Tyson clicked his fingers "I knew it !"
Kin gave a death glare. Tyson could see it through the shades. He shut up and turned round. The plane started to move and all around you could hear clicks of seatbelts being fastened together. The airhostesses then acted out the safety demonstration. Kin was now starting to get bored of all these. She had flown so much she could even act it out. When the flight attendants finished the demonstration the Boeing 747 made its long journey down the runway. Kin got ready the chewing gum she brought with her. She always had problems with the take-off and landings. The change of pressure always made her ears hurt. The Bladebreakers all had hard sweets to suck for the take-off. The plane now turned onto the main runway and stopped. Kin quickly popped the chewing gum in her mouth.
Yummy, peppermint she thought.
The engines turned faster and faster and then the plane sped back down the runway. The plane shuddered a little as it travelled farther down. The nose of the plane lifted off the ground and the rest of the plane followed and the Boeing 747 took to the skies. Everyone felt that weird sensation in their stomachs ( the one where it feels like your heart has jumped into your throat ). Kin chewed slowly and then felt her ears pop. For five minutes the plane flew higher and higher until the clouds were below them. Kin looked out the window and looked at the clouds below. They always reminded her of white candy-floss. She always had fun, looking at the clouds and seeing shapes in them. Once she saw a Dranti-shaped cloud, its wings spread out and it soared the skies. Katsu leaped from Kin's lap and onto the seat next to her, curled up and went into a good long nap. The little light that says to put on your seatbelt went off with a little ping. Nearly everyone took their seatbelts off, notice the word 'nearly'. Kai didn't touch his nor did Chief and many others. Kin decided to finish correcting the mistakes in the magazine. She flicked to the page where her profile was and finished correcting. Everything about her was wrong. She then got out her drawing pad, pencil, coloured pencils and rubber. She thought of what she could draw but couldn't think of anything. She needed an inspiration. She glanced at Kai, he was taking a nap with his arms crossed, back straight and his chin almost touched his chest.
Maybe I could draw Dranzer thought Kin.
She drew a very detailed Dranzer in the space of 15 minutes. She marvelled at how it was the best Bit-Beast she ever drew. She coloured it slowly, filling in all the white areas with reds oranges, browns, greens and yellows ( leaving the hair white ). 15 minutes later Kin had a fiery Dranzer on her sketch pad, with his wings open to their fullest extent and making a war cry. She decided to make drawings of all the Bladebreakers Bit-Beasts. After Dranzer she drew a growling Driger with his hackles up and fangs bared, Draciel in a fighting position, Strata Dragoon with his wings open and roaring and Dragoon with his arms and legs open and the head is coming right at you, roaring his piercing cry. Kin was very pleased with her drawings. She put her drawing tools and sketch pad away in her rucksack and pulled out her steel silver and jet black personal CD player. She slipped in a Linkin Park disc, closed her eyes and started to tap her foot to the beat.
An hour later she could hear moans through her music. She took her ear plugs out at looked at Tyson. He was rubbing his stomach and complaining that he was hungry. Kin shook her head in disapproval. 15 minutes later the woman with the food trolley came and asked if the Bladebreakers were hungry. Tyson took 10 packs of crisps, 5 packs of peanuts, 5 bars of chocolate and 8 small tins of ready-salted and salt & vinegar Pringles. Kin watched in shock as he stuffed his face. She wasn't the only one to stare. The woman turned to her and asked if she wanted anything.
"A bottle of plain water please" Kin answered.
The woman gave her a 500ml bottle and moved on. Kin opened it and it had those fancy pull caps on. Kin pulled it open with her teeth and drank loads. She pressed the cap shut with a little click and put her CD player in her bag and, her back leaning against the window behind her, she folded her arms and went to sleep too. Little did she know that the make-up didn't last long and when Kai had woken up he faced a very puzzled Ray.
"What's up ?" asked Kai.
Ray nodded toward Kin. Kai turned his head round and knew instantly why Ray was bewildered. The make-up on Kin's right cheek and forehead was half-off and you could see the outline of a red scar. Kin suddenly stirred as though waking up from a nightmare and found that Ray and Kai were staring at her.
"What ?" asked Kin.
"Your cheek...its...um..." said Ray motioning to her right cheek.
"Oh God" she said and got her blusher from her bag and put more on until the scar was invisible again. She shoved her blusher back in her bag quickly.
"What was that ?" asked Ray.
"It's a...mark on my face that I don't want there" said Kin.
Unexpectedly the plane shuddered as though going through turbulence but more violently. It made everyone standing up fall to their hands and knees. Katsu woke up with a start.
"What the...?" said Kin as she looked over the back of the seat in front of her then a voice came through the speakers.
"Everyone sit down, I've got this plane under my control. Now if you don't do as I say then say bye-bye" the raspy voice said.
"Highjackers" said Kin.
A man came through the arch where two compartments meet. He was dressed in all black and had a black hat covering all his head so you couldn't recognize him and the hat had three holes in it, two for the eyes and one for the mouth. He carried a gleaming black gun.
"Now I checked the seating plan and I know that Kin Hotaru is in this compartment. Now stand up Kin Hotaru, or everyone dies" he threatened.
Whispers broke out in the compartment. Kin thought of what she could do but the man's hoarse voice cut through her thoughts.
"You've got 10 seconds to stand up Hotaru, I'm not playing games. 1...2...3...4...5..." he started counting. Kin made up her mind.
"6...7...8..." continued the croaky man's voice.
Kin stood up. All eyes were on her, surprised and shocked eyes stared at her from the Bladebreakers.
"Take off your hat and shades...now" said the man pointing the gun at Kin.
Kin grabbed her hat and pulled it off, letting her jet black and blood red hair and bangs fall loosely. She took off her shades, revealing her one emerald-green eye and one ocean blue eye and she started rubbing her right cheek and above her right eyebrow. When her hand left her face her scar was clearly visible to all eyes. There were great gasps everywhere, none not so loud as the Bladebreakers.
"There...now...what do you want ?" asked Kin.
The man leered evilly.
"What do I want ? I want you...dead" he said and shot Kin once where her heart was. Everyone yelled as Kin fell backwards on to her seat and slouched limply.
"No-one move !" the man yelled pointing the gun at random people.
The Bladebreakers couldn't believe it. They had made friends with Kin Hotaru. Now she was dead. Or...so they thought. When the man had left the compartment Kai climbed over Kin's cat and touched Kin's shoulder. She moaned. Kai was surprised. The man shot her in her heart, she surely couldn't still be alive. Kin sat up as though nothing was wrong and dug her fingers into her t-shirt and pulled out the bullet.
"How on Earth...?" asked Kai.
"Bullet-proof t-shirt. Never leave the house without wearing one" smiled Kin as she looked at the bullet then flicked it away.
"Um..." was all Kai could say.
Kin stood up and walked slowly and quietly down toward the nose of the plane, passing through two compartments. She was relieved that the man was also looking at the direction of the nose of the plane. Kin quickly put some sleeping liquid into a handkerchief she had got out of her bag. Quickly and silently pressed it over the man's nose and mouth. He struggled and pointed the gun behind him to shoot but Kin gave him a dead arm ( you hit the bend in your arm hard enough for the whole arm to go limp and you lose all feeling in it ) and snatched the gun out of his hand. The man drew breath and then fell limply in Kin's arms. She dragged him to an empty row and lay him down, putting the three seatbelts around his arms, stomach and lower legs to stop him from escaping when the stuff wore out. She walked up to the front of the plane and knocked the door.
"Sir, are you all right ?" she called through the door. Moaning from the front row seats made her look around. What she saw nearly gave her a scare . The captain and his co-pilots were there, just waking up.
"If you're there..." said Kin slowly, pointing at the captain, "and the highjacker is over there..." she said pointing down the plane, "then...WHO'S FLYING THIS PLANE !?!?!?" she yelled. The Bladebreakers heard this and they all ran down the plane toward the captain's compartment.
"Are you saying there's no-one driving this thing ?" asked Tyson slowly. Kin nodded. Tyson's eyes widened as far as they would go and his mouth opened. The plane shuddered and everyone felt it lose altitude.
"The captain and the co-pilots aren't in no condition to fly a plane" said Max as he checked them all.
"I've got to get in there !" said Kin desperately. She rammed the door several times with her shoulder, "Argh...it won't budge !" she complained.
"Stand back" said Kai and he literally kicked the door down.
"Nice" said Kin then she rushed into the compartment and sitting down in the captain's seat.
"Er...Kin..." said Ray. Kin turned round from the captain's seat.
"Yeah ?" asked Kin.
"You know how to fly one of these ?" Ray asked nervously.
"I've had flying lessons" answered Kin.
"How many times have you actually flown a plane ?" asked Ray nervously.
"Including this time ?" asked Kin, counting on her fingers, "once..." she answered. Everyone sweatdropped.
"Good Lord..." said Tyson.
"Do you want me to fly this thing and save everyone's necks ? including yours ?" asked Kin
"Yeah" said Tyson
"Then shut up !" said Kin, "I'm trying to concentrate !"
Kin put on the headphones and adjusted them to fit. She flicked some switches on and pulled a lever toward her. It didn't do anything. The nose of the plane continued to point toward the ground and sped on. Kin then spotted a blue flashing light labelled 'low on fuel'.
"Control Tower this is flight D6 597 do you copy ?" Kin said into the microphone.
"This is Control Tower, we have you on radar" said the other end.
"Need assistance, low on fuel and coming in fast" Kin said.
"Roger, we'll clear the runway and send assistance to you as you land" the voice then stopped, "Hey this isn't Frazer, who are you ?" Kin looked surprised.
"Flight D6 597 over and out" Kin said and switched the link to the Control Tower off.
"Some help they were" muttered Ray.
"Passengers, please fasten seatbelts. We are approaching Japan International Airport" said Kin through the headphones to the rest of the plane, "Flight crew, please return to your seats for landing" said Kin and clicked the off button. She turned round to the Bladebreakers behind her.
"You'd better buckle up too, this is gonna be one bumpy landing" she said to everyone. The Bladebreakers all sat down and clicked their seatbelts securely together.
The plane passed through the clouds and they experienced turbulence. The plane scooped under the clouds and you could see Japan. The plane wobbled a little as Kin fought to keep it level. The plane approached the runway. The runway kept on coming nearer and nearer and everyone saw that Kin was sweating, the sweat actually was running down the side of her face.
"What's wrong ?" asked Max, "you've practiced this before"
"I know" said Kin, gulping, "But I always get the landing wrong. On the simulator I kept crashing the plane" Everyone sweatdropped again.
Kin pulled a lever toward her. A mechanical noise filled the air at the flaps went down to slow the plane. The lever kept coming down and so did the flaps. When the runway was in clear view Kin pressed a button labelled 'landing wheels'. Another mechanical sound filled the air as the wheels below them came put the plane and locked into place. Kin pulled the first lever as far as it would go and the flaps went as high and as low as they could.
"3...2...1..." muttered Kin.
The plane touched down and then everyone realised the speed they were going at. Kin pressed another button and the extra flaps went up, helping to slow the plane. The speed gradually slowed down and then was at a steady speed. Kin directed the plane to come into Gate 33. When the plane stopped everyone in the captains compartment heard cheers from the rest of the plane. Kin leaned back limply in the chair, shaking from nerves.
"Yeah !" shouted Tyson and hugged Kin.
"Get off of me" said Kin calmly.
"Oopps" said Tyson and he jumped off of her.
Kin took the headphones off her head and opened the door to the rest of the plane to collect Katsu and her rucksack. One of the airhostesses already had Katsu and Kin's rucksack in her arms.
"Thank you Kin" she smiled and handed over the cat and the rucksack.
"Thanks" Kin said and lifted Katsu from the air hostesses arms and her rucksack and she slung it over her shoulder. The tunnel reached the door and clicked into place and the door opened, revealing confused members of staff wearing bright luminous yellow/green safety jackets.
"What the...?" asked one male then stopped as Kin was the one who got out first, "Aren't you..."
"Kin Hotaru, yes" she said irritably and walked right past him, the Bladebreakers jogging to keep up with her.
"Chill for a second Kin" said Daichi.
She huffed and continued to walk.
"What's her problem ?" asked Daichi.
"I'll tell you my problem. I've had enough of hiding. I don't care if the fans that are waiting out there glomp me, I'll get pass them" Kin said to the Bladebreakers.
"Now's not a good time to ask for an autograph then ?" asked Ray.
Kin stopped walking and stared.
"Not you too..." she muttered jokingly and hid behind Tyson.
"I'm only joking...as a matter of fact I'm not...can I get one ?" asked Ray.
Kin sighed.
"Maybe later ok ?" she said.
They walked to the baggage collecting point and got their suitcases. When the last person got their they all wheeled them out the room. When they walked through the arrivals gate there were already bodyguards there holding the excited crowd. The crowd got even more excited when Kin came out with the Bladebreakers beside her. They screamed 'Kin Hotaru !' and 'Its the Bladebreakers !' and shoved the bodyguards to try and get closer.
"Kin !" screamed a girl and Kin was tackled to the ground. Thinking it was a fan who got passed the bodyguards, Kin tried to shove the girl off but when Kin caught sight of the girl's face she smiled.
"Amaya, long time no see" Kin said.
