Hey, I'm back! Thank you so mutch for the reviews: ) Well, lets continue with the story, and remember that it will get more exciting in the next chapters!!! Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Things I almost remember...
Kai sat up in his bed, and stretched. It felt like he had only slept for a couple of hours, like all klocks had been sat on double speed. He blinked tiredly against the light, and started to get dressed. He pulled the curtains away from the windows, and let the golden light fill the dark room. He closed his eyes, and felt a gentle breeze play with his hair.
He wondered about where Dranzer was, if she was okay, and if she would come back ti him at all. Everything felt so wrong without her.
Then, he started to think about what happened last night. Who was the person that had tried to call him? That voice seemed so familiar, like he had heard it long time ago.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Ray's head appeared in the doorway. He looked very tired, his hear was buzzy, and he had black circles under his eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept so mutch, and that wasn't waired, since his room was beside Tyson's.
"Kai, could you please do me a favour?"
"Hn?"
"Waking up Tyson! I have tried several times, but he is nearly in coma." Ray smiled tiredly.
"Okay," Kai answered, and took a look at the klock beside his bed.
"Thanks Kai! I'll be downstairs to make some breakfast."
Kai nodded, and secounds later he coul hear him run down the stairs, to the citchen.
He sat there inn deep thoughts for a while, then he walked towards the bathroom, where he filled one of the biggest glasses he could find, with cold water.
As allways, Tyson's room was quite untidy, and Tyson himself were lying on the top of his blanket, still asleep. His snorring made the walls wibrate, and Kai was shure that you could hear him from the streets outside.
Kai placed the glass of water on Tyson's desk, and walked over to the bed. Then he took a god grip on the ends of the blanket, and pulled it away. Tyson fell out of his bed with a noise that made the whole room shake.
It took a while for Kai to realise that Tyson was still asleep. Kai smiled sattisfied, and went to the desk to get the glass. The secound later, Tyson jumped up from the floor, water dripping from all over him.
"KAI!!! WHAT THE...WHAT ARE YOU DOING????!!!"
"Having some fun," Kai answered, still with a evil grinn on his face. "Now, get up. I'ts time for some serious training."
"What! I'ts way too early for that!"
"Nine in the morning?" Kai raised an eyebrow.
"Well, yeah?"
At least he tried, Kai thought, walking out of the room and down the stairs.
" So, Kai! What are we going to do today?!" Max nearly jumped of excitement. Tyson stood beside him, halv asleep. Kai was glad that Tyson's garden was big enough for training, 'couse if not, they would have had to train in the gym. And then there wouldn't have been any training at all.
Kai smirked and walked over to Tyson.
"HEY TYSON!!!"
"WHAT?! Where am I? What...Oh."
"Welcome back Tyson. Now, where is Ray and Kenny?"
"There they are!" Max pointed at the two boys who were walking towards them. It looked like Ray and Dizzy had started arguing again, he could clearly tell that by Ray, who was about to turn red of anger.
"Good morning guys," Kenny greeted them as he and the still pissed Ray sat down beside Max, who looked like he was going to explode of hyperness.
"Now, when we are all here, and awake..." Tyson turned a bit red. "...I hope that we finally can start the training?"
Ray grinned, but Max, who now had lost his patient totally, nearly shouted:
"Football?! Beyblading!? Volleyball?!!!!"
"Nope," Kai said.
"Then what?"
"Fencing."
Max jumped in the air, and ran over to the foils Kai had been hidind behind his back.
"Wow, this is so cool." Ray smiled and looked at his own foil, that glimted in the sunlight. Kai smirked and lifted his sword, so he could take a look at it. It had belonged to his family for generations, and the Hiwatari coat of arms were marked on the silver foil. He remembered the last time he had used it.
"Hey Kai, move faster!"
7 year old Kai jumped aside, as Tala's foil was about to come to close. He lifted his own foil and attacked. Tala's sword met his in the air, and then Kai jumped forward and poked the foil on Tala's chest.
"Great Kai! Well done both of you!"
Tala smiled, and gave him a gentle hug. "Great match huh?"
"Yeah..."
"I know you can win the tournament, Kai. One day, you're going to be a world champion!"
"Thanks Tala, as long as you will be standing there with me."
"Shure, Kai"
Kai turned to the man beside him.
"Was it okay?" Kai looked up at him and smiled.
"You have never been better Kai."
"Thanks dad."
"Kai? Something wrong?"
"Yeah dude, we are ready to fight!!!!"
Kai blinked, and shook his head.
"No way! Did you really think that I would let you fence without protection?"
"What do you mean?" Max took a look at the blade of his foil, seeing that it was sharper than normal swords.
"What I mean, is that you, especially Tyson, will all wave the foils around like maniacs, ofcourse you'll need some protection. It's all over there in that bag."
Kai watched as Max and Tyson nearly danced over the grass, both of them trying to hit the other. They were better than he had thought, but he had been able to take them all, even Ray. It seemed like he had'nt changed that mutch when it came to fencing. He remembered Tala's promice like it was only yesterday. He wondered if that ever would happen. But no, the times had changed, and somthing like that was'nt possible now.
"Hey Kai. Now I see why you chose fencing."
Kai turned to look at Kenny, who sat beside him, leaning his head against the wall.
"Because it's good for your consetration and coordination."
Kai grinned. "Yeah," he answered.
"HEY... YOU..."
"YESS, I WON!!!"
"Kai, we shall have fencing tomorow too, and then, there wont be mutch left of little Maxy!!!"
"In your dreams Tyson!"
"HEY, COME BACK HERE!!!"
Kai smirked, and started to pick up the foils. It was waired actually. So many things had changed. So many things had happened, and now...well, he would figure it all out. One day, he would winn this battle, the battle that someone actually called a life.
:::Master, is that you?:::
Kai dropped the foils. They fell to the ground, and he could feel Kenny looking at him.
Dranzer? Where the hell have you been?
:::Master, listen. I dont have mutch time:::
There, another chapter done! I'm so proud :P Now it's starting to get exciting, and in the next chapter, you will get to know more about what is going on around Dranzer and what happened that night. But untill then: R&R!!!!!!
