Chapter 4
Amaya smiled widely and got off of Kin and held out her hand. Kin took it and Amaya helped Kin up. The Bladebreakers all stared at Amaya. They thought, being Kin's friend, that Amaya would have the same choice of clothing but how wrong they were.
Amaya was wearing a white blouse with a royal blue jacket over it as well as matching royal blue trousers. She also wore black trainers. ( She's wearing the Yu-Gi-Oh! boys Domino school uniform, what Yugi wears minus the black shirt underneath the blouse and the belt choker thing that Yugi has around his neck in short, it looks like Yugi's Duelist Kingdom outfit ). After the boys had taken in Amaya's clothing choice they looked at her face. She had amethyst purple eyes, black eye-liner on, jet black hair with white blond highlights which reached halfway down her back, hair which she preferred left hanging down and it was layered at the bottom, no bangs, both ears were pierced, on her right earlobe was a silver and gold small loop earring and on her left earlobe was a black stud earring, straight white teeth, she had light brown freckles all over her face, she was slightly tanned and she had a medium-sized horizontal scar just above her left eyebrow which was blue and black.
"Long time no see Kin" Amaya said.
They did a knuckled greeting and then Amaya looked over Kin's shoulder to gaze at the Bladebreakers.
"They with you ?" asked Amaya.
"Yeah...um...oh...intros...this is Tyson, Kenny but we call him Chief, Daichi, Ray, Max and Kai" said Kin, "Bladebreakers, meet Amaya, she's my best friend, fellow band player and team blader"
Amaya waved at them all, they all waved back, then she rounded on Kin.
"We'd better get outta here, the guards can't hold the fans back any longer" she said.
The Bladebreakers plus Kin and Amaya, along with their luggage, rushed out the door...well...tried to. Fans poured in from all sides as well as reporters.
"Bladebreakers ! How'd you make friends with Kin Hotaru ?" asked one.
"Kin ! Over here ! Do you think you can beat the world champion at the tournament ?" asked another.
A peculiarly nasty one asked Kai :
"Since when was Kin your girlfriend ?"
( he asked that because Kai and Kin were walking side by side ) Kai and Kin both stopped dead in their tracks and shot two super duper evil and cold death glares at the reporter. The reporter winced and backed off. The group finally reached the mini-bus that would take them to their hotel. It had windows which you can see out but no-one can see in. They all scrambled in while their luggage was packed away in compartments underneath the bus. When the door closed the screams of reporters and fans were suddenly subsided a little. The shouts were muffled now. Tyson, Daichi, Chief, Max, Kin, Ray and Amaya all sat near the front and Kai, being his usual, sat at the back of the bus. Katsu perched on Kin's shoulder again.
"So I heard that you were the best blader around" said Amaya to Tyson. Tyson blushed a little and rubbed the back of his head with a huge grin on his face.
"Aw shucks, you're making me blush" laughed Tyson. The rest of the group laughed along with him. Kin looked up the back of the bus when she stopped laughing.
"Hey Kai !, stop being such a loner and come down here !" she half-shouted to Kai. Kai just shifted in his seat.
"Don't mind old Mr. Sourpuss...he's always like that" said Tyson.
"I find that cute" said Kin, winking. The boys ( Tyson, Daichi, Chief, Max and Ray ) all stared and their mouths hit the floor.
"I'm kidding" said Kin and she peeked up at Kai and, even though he had his face slanted downward and his bangs covered most of his face, she could see a pink blush creep slowly across his nose and cheeks. The bus started to move as the Bladebreakers plus Kin and Amaya minus Kai all started to chat about the oncoming tournament.
"Chief, can you improve my blade ?" asked Kin, handing him Dranti.
"Lets see..." he said then..."It's Dragoon !" he half-shouted when he saw the Bit-Chip.
"Don't be silly" said Tyson then he looked at it too, "Dragoon !"
"What about Dragoon ?" asked Kin.
"You've got Dragoon in your Bit-Chip !" Tyson half-shouted.
"Nope, that's just Dranti" said Kin when she looked at the Bit-Chip.
"Dranti ?" asked everyone bar Kai and Amaya.
"Hold out Dragoon for a second Tyson, Daichi hold out Strata Dragoon as well...Dranti told me...but I have to be sure of it" Kin said and held out Dranti.
Tyson held out Dragoon and Daichi held out Strata Dragoon and all three blades started pulsing a sky blue colour and started to vibrate. Everyone gasped and Kai even came over to see what the blue light was coming from. Then Dragoon's and Strata Dragoon's deep voices was heard throughout the whole length of the bus. (a/n Dragoon and Strata Dragoon are brothers in this fic). Katsu had jumped up in alarm.
"Its good to see you again" Dragoon said.
"Hey there, what's up ?" said Strata Dragoon.
Then Dranti's voice was heard too. ( a/n Dranti is a girl in this fic !! ).
"Nice too see you again after all these years...brothers"
Everyone was speechless. Tyson, Daichi and Kin stared firstly at each other, then their blades and then back at each other.
"You never told me Dragoon" complained Tyson.
"Strata Dragoon !!" yelled Daichi.
"You've got to be joking..." said Kin.
"Do I ever joke ?" asked Dranti
Kin said nothing.
"I take that as a 'no' then" answered Dranti.
The blades then returned to their normal colours and stopped pulsing light and vibrating. Tyson jumped up and did a victory dance in the aisle. Everyone looked at him as though he were insane.
"Why...are you dancing ?" asked Amaya.
"Because I'm now connected to Kin Hotaru !!!!! In your face people of the world !!!! Dragoon and Dranti are brother and sister !!! Yeah !!!!" he whooped and punched the air in happiness. Everyone sweatdropped.
"Is he usually like this ?" asked Kin, stroking Katsu behind her ears to calm her down.
"No...he's only like this when he eats in a restaurant, then he finds out that the restaurant is all-you-can-eat" laughed Ray, with permission from Kin, stroking Katsu behind her ears as well and her back.
Kin and Amaya widened their eyes and their mouths opened in laughter. The rest of the bus journey took quite a while and by the time the group arrived at their hotel, Diamond Palace, Tyson was still dancing. Everybody bar Kai laughed again.
"How long was that bus journey ? cause I'm so stiff" whined Kin and Amaya as they got out of the bus with Katsu at their heels.
"Let's see..." said Chief, looking at his watch, "Exactly 2½ hours"
"You're making it sound 10x worse" groaned the pair.
The group walked into reception. It was really nice, with white marble stairs going up one level right in front of them, two white marble pillars stood on each side of the staircase, the flooring white marble too, the reception on the far left, lifts going up on the far right of the lobby. The Bladebreakers', Kin's and Amaya's footsteps and Katsu's paws echoed around the room as they walked to the desk.
"Ah...Bladebreakers, Kin Hotaru and Amaya Sora" said the man at the desk, "Welcome to Diamond Palace, thank you for choosing to stay here. Here are your room keys, your luggage has already been taken upstairs" he said and handed everyone their room keys. ( everyone's got one ). They started to walk away when the man at the desk shouted, "Oh, by the way...it's only 4 to a room"
"Our room is 475...what's yours ?" asked Tyson.
Amaya checked the card number on her card.
"Room 476" she answered.
Tyson punched the air in happiness then got an idea.
"Last one to their room is a busted Beyblade ! and the last boy has to sleep with the girls !" he shouted and ran to the lifts.
"Wait up Ty !" shouted Max and ran after Tyson.
"Oh no you don't" shouted Ray and ran after the pair.
"Wait for me !!!" called Amaya and ran after the boys and shoved them into the lift and pressed the 'close the doors' button.
"Hey hey !" said Kin and she ran to the lift with Kai and Katsu at her heels but too late......the doors had closed in their faces.
"Great....what will i do now ?" Kin asked herself then eyeing the stairs, "STAIRS !!!" she yelled.
Kin ran to the stairs and jumping up them two steps at a time with Katsu pouncing beside her. Kai just watched her leave. Kin stopped halfway up the stairs and turned to face Kai.
"You comin' or what ?.....Mr. I'm-to-important-to-sit-with-common-people" she smiled.
"Mew mew meeewww" said Katsu jumping up and down Max-like when he's on a sugar-rush. ( Go Katsu, go Katsu, GO !!!! ). Kai raised an eyebrow and started walking slowly up the stairs one at a time.
"Can you go any slower !" moaned Kin.
"Better keep up with me then" he said and then scaled the stairs five at a time.
Kin watched him go then realized that, because the trousers were a bit big for him and he had his belt on as tight as he could put it, he had to hold his trousers by the right hip as he jumped the stairs. She blushed a very deep crimson red with embarrassment.
"It might be worse..." she said to herself and shrugged. Then a nasty image came into her head and her eyes widened.
"No" she muttered.
She ran up the stairs with Katsu at her heels and surprisingly she caught up with him. He apparently didn't hear her as he pounced every 5th step.
"Hi Kai...Hey that rhymed !!!" said Kin as she jumped at the same time as him.
"You work out often ?" he asked.
"You do too...hey...do you think we can beat them ?" asked Kin.
"If we bolt it, we can" he said and he jumped quicker and so did Kin.
"Hey...I've just realized something" said Kai as he and Kin ascended the stairs.
"What might that be ?" asked Kin.
"Your cat....where is she ?" asked Kai.
Kin stopped and looked around her and her face had an expression of panic.
"KATSU !!!!" She yelled.
A soft "mew" was Katsu's answer and it came from Kai's direction.
"Kai...why are you meowing like a cat ?" asked Kin.
"Its not me its...hang on..." he grabs his scarf from behind him and brings it to the front, "Here she is" he said while holding the scarf. Katsu had her teeth and her front claws sunk into the fabric of the scarf.
"Katsu...there you are" said Kin.
"That explains the meows behind me" said Kai, "Hey...I've just realized something else".
"What is it now ?" asked Kin.
"I'm not sneezing anymore" Kai answered, "Maybe it's not the cat at all"
"Then...what are you allergic to ?" asked Kin.
Kai walked over to the girl, smelled her and sneezed.
"It's your perfume I think" he said in-between sneezes.
"Sorry" muttered Kin.
"It's ok just don't use that perfume again" he said.
Silence.
"Beat you to the top" said Kin with a grin and rushed up the steps.
Kai sighed and, with Katsu in one arm, ran up the stairs behind the girl. When they reached the top floor they ran down the corridor to their rooms. A man walking out his room stood rigid as a black, blue, beige and red blur ( Kin ) zoomed passed him and a white, purple, black and grayish-blue blur ( Kai ) chased the first. He rubbed his eyes then shrugged and set off in the opposite direction. Kin stopped outside her apartment and, to her dismay, found Amaya already there with a grin on her face. Kin looked to her left and saw Tyson, Daichi, Max and Ray all with smiles on their faces. Kai ran behind Kin and came to a complete stop fairly quickly and saw Amaya's, Tyson's, Max's, Daichi's and Ray's smirks and knew.
"Damn it" Kai said.
"Your stuff's already in there Kai" said Tyson with a smile and he crossed his arms.
Kai said nothing and handed Katsu back to Kin. Kin slid her card key through the slot and the little green light came on, showing that it was unlocked. Kin walked in with Amaya at her heels and Kai followed with a sigh. The room had a friendly and welcoming feel to it as the girls plus Kai and Katsu had been traveling all day. The room had two compartments ( a semi-transparent sliding door separated the two rooms ), one was the living area and kitchen and the other was the main bedroom. The room also had a patio door which lead to the fair-sized balcony which over-looked the pool and sunbeds. The walls were white, the floor was white tiled and the ceiling was also white. The living room had 2 pictures on the same wall, one was a landscape picture and the other a picture of the Japanese sea. The living area had 2 blue couches which can turn into 2 beds, a golden brown coloured coffee table in front of the couches, directly across from the couches on the other side of the room was a kitchen area. It had blue coloured cupboards for storing cups plates etc high above the preparing area, 2 blue coloured worktops for preparing food, a steel silver coloured cooker, a silver sink and a bin. To the left of the kitchen area stood a fair sized black T.V which had Sky installed. Everyone in the room could feel a cool light breeze as the air-conditioning blew in from the ceilings and walls. In the main bedroom there was a double bed ( a/n don't get any ideas here...yet ) with royal blue covers set against the wall. On each side of the bed stood a golden brown coloured bedside table and above them were lights. Above the head of the bed was a big picture of different coloured shapes in it. About a meter and a half away from the bottom of the bed was a golden coloured desk with a dining chair to go with it. To the left of the double bed ( looking at the bed ) there was three golden coloured wardrobes with sliding doors. On the doors were mirrors.
"Cozy" said Amaya.
Kai ( being the more 'mature' one ) already started to unpack. Amaya sighed and started to unpack. Kin lay her rucksack on one of the couches, opened the patio door, stepped out, closed the door behind her and walked out into the balcony. The cool breeze licked her face and made her hair flutter in the wind. She breathed in deeply.
"Peace and calm" she muttered and looked beyond the hotel grounds.
The Japanese sea, which is in clear view from their apartment balcony, was calm today and it's colour was a magnificent royal blue and sky blue in the shallows. Kin walked to the edge of the balcony and rested her tired and aching arms on the banister. The sound of the waves sloshing onto the white sandy beach was calming to Kin's soul and heart. She closed her eyes, wishing her life was always this peaceful. A sliding sound interrupted Kin's thoughts and she turned round. Amaya stepped out and joined her. She stood beside Kin and sighed.
"Well, we're here" she said. Kin nodded an answer, still looking out into the sea.
"Well......you know the guy in there ?" asked Amaya, pointing over her shoulder.
"What about Kai ?" asked Kin.
"I know what you think about him" Amaya said with a slight smile.
"What do you mean ?" asked Kin.
"I know from the very first time you've seen him, you fancy him...don't cha ?" asked Amaya.
Kin was suddenly interested in her fingers. She wasn't the one to keep secrets, especially to one of her very best friends. She always spoke her mind, even if it got her into trouble.
Because Amaya had left the balcony door open Kai could hear every word loud and clear. He stopped unpacking when he heard the words 'what about Kai ?' and listened from that point onwards. He didn't want to eavesdrop on someone's else conversation but if it was about him he had the right to know what they were talking about and why. The next thing he heard made him drop Dranzer and the launcher on the floor. And because the floor was tiled the blade and the launcher made a loud clattering noise but Amaya and Kin were so busy talking that they didn't hear.
"Yeah...on T.V he is really good-looking but when you stand next to him he's so handsome and hot and...how'd you know I like him ?" asked Kin suddenly.
"Maybe...that you couldn't stop staring at him on the bus might be a small clue" smiled Amaya, showing a space between her forefinger and thumb which was 5mm apart.
"Of course" said Kin sarcastically.
"But I don't know about him though...you and I both know his reputation...i and he doesn't show any emotions...at all..." Amaya started.
"Yeah but that's what makes him attractive" sighed Kin, "he's so cute when he acts that way, maybe I'll just have a secret crush on him and I won't tell him how I feel".
"See ? I know these things..." said Amaya.
"Maybe you know what I know..." smiled Kin mischievously.
"What ?" demanded Amaya.
"About you-know-who..." said Kin. Amaya's eyes went wide.
"You-Know-Who ?...you don't mean...?" asked Amaya.
"Him" said Kin, "I know that you like him...sorry to break it to ya pal, he's already got a girlfriend".
"Who ?" asked Amaya.
"The prissy, flamingo-nightmare pink witch" said Kin.
Kai knew who it was. Amaya had a crush on Ray. He was the only one who was going out with a girl that fits that description (a/n sorry to any Mariah fans who are reading this fic).
"Damn it to hell and back again" said Amaya, clicking her fingers.
"Hey ! That's my line !" pouted Kin.
"I know" smiled Amaya. Kin stuck her tongue out playfully.
"Right, we need to give Kai and Ray nicknames so when we're talkin' about them in front of those boys they won't know its them" said Kin.
"So what will Ray's be ?" asked Amaya.
"Cutie ?" teased Kin with a smile.
"Ha ha...brilliant joke Kin," said Amaya sarcastically while clapping her hands in sarcasm, "Be serious, any ideas ?"
"Hm" said Kin, "Because he has Driger for his Bit-Beast how about...Tiger Stripes ?"
"Good one...that'll do...and Kai's ?" asked Amaya.
"I don't know" said Kin.
"He-Man ?" teased Amaya while elbowing Kin's arm with a cheesy grin.
"Har...dee...har...dee...har (£) Amaya...I'm laughing my head off" said Kin with a set bored face with a bored voice.
Amaya then went into a fit of uncontrollable giggles.
"That wasn't supposed to be funny pal" said Kin but Amaya punched her arm playfully.
"I'm just kidding with ya pal" she finally said when she stopped laughing, "Do you have any ideas...or do we have to stick with He-Man ?" Amaya said with a grin.
"Maybe...Red Feather ?...because of Dranzer obviously" said Kin.
"That'll do" said Amaya.
They both stared out into the ocean.
"Oh crap ! I need to start unpacking !" said Kin suddenly and 'tried' to ran indoors.
Amaya sweatdropped as she watched her best friend run into the see-through door ( not the one which was open ), rub her red nose and then run through the right door. Kai pretended to have not heard any of the conversation and went back to the unpacking of his suitcase. He also sweatdropped as Kin ran indoors, slip on the wet puddle on the floor ( a/n something outta Kin's rucksack must be leaking...it must be that water she had bought on the plane or maybe it was Katsu's fault...eww ! ) and fall on her backside. He almost laughed as Kin got off the floor rubbing her backside.
"That's gonna leave a mark in the morning" groaned Kin.
"You gave them the slip on that one" he said, "You need to rehearse your entrances a little bit more...ya know ?" he added.
"Shut up" said Kin as she started to unpack her rucksack and suitcase then stopped, "Did I just hear you trying to make a joke ?" she asked pointing at Kai.
"Maybe..." he said.
Katsu had found the comfiest place on the double bed and was now lying in a ball, fast asleep and slightly purring (a/n wow, Katsu does love taking naps doesn't she ).
Kai thinking as he puts away his clothing : ' Hm...Red Feather ?...catchy. And Ray's name's Tiger Stripes ?...These girls do have a pretty vivid imagination but still...Red Feather...nice'
JeLlYbEaN RuLz : There's the 4th Chapter please take a few minutes and review for me...if you don't then I'll stop writing this fic ( looks about hopefully for flying reviews )
Tyson : Don't worry readers she's only kidding.
(£) - Har...dee...har...dee...har :
It's the way I, the authoress, laugh when I'm laughing sarcastically so I thought of putting it in here.
