Kai’s Birthday: Chapter 17
Alexei was eating some fast made noodles, mainly because he took little money with him. He was wondering how should he avenge his ‘daddy-dearest’. Unlike, the scientist may have thought, he did have reasons not to like the Demolition Boys and Kai Hiwatari – and those were the people he intended to hurt… Somehow. He wasn’t that good in that hurting business, he liked annoying more. As for the five boys, his reason was simple – if not for them his father wouldn’t have left him. Simple.
The beybladers got in to a trip bus, Kai yesterday ordered. It seemed, that since he had a lot of money, he was supposed to do all the reservations. There were some minor misunderstandings with who was supposed to sit with whom. Mao sat down on Rei’s knees and adamantly refused to leave her place and let Kiki or Rai seat on the second seat. The Chinese captain sat down further to the front with Michael in the end. The green-haired White Tiger decided that if he couldn’t have Mao’s company, Ivan would be a fine substitute. Steve and Eddie sat down together opposite to their team captain, while Emily dragged Max to accompany her. Yuri took a sit opposite to them and quickly found that a grinning Miaka was beside him. Sergey carried Boris somewhere to the middle and decided that sitting behind his captain would be a good idea. Kyouju took out his laptop and started doing something, so Takao decided it would be more interesting to bug Kai. The Majestic’s sat down near each other, divided in their usual pairs. The Dark Bladers took the empty seats – Zomb with Centaph and Saquinex with Lupinex.
Than the driver stood up and glared at the passengers.
- No sex in the bus! – he growled, making the bladers stare at him as if he were completely crazy. Well, the tall man in the sunglasses looked rather disappointed, but the shorter one nudged him and whispered, sounding distressed:
- Seiishiro-san!
After Miaka used up the conventional topic called weather, she decided it was time to ask a very important question. She smiled cutely at Yuri.
- Can I call you Yu-chan? – she gave the redhead a pleading look. The Russians face looked blank, as if he didn’t get what was going on.
- And what does it mean? – he asked.
- Nothing bad! – the girl giggled. – It’d be just a pet name and it wouldn’t sound as silly as Yuri-Yuri.
- Why do you call Kai, Kai-Kai?
- He likes Cowboy Bebop and there’s a girl – Ed, who calls another female hero Faye-Faye. – explained the Japanese in her usual slightly too fast way.
- So it’s a pun? – the red-haired teen nodded. – Well, if you want to call me Yucian, you can. I don’t mind.
Miaka grinned and kissed Yuri’s cheek. The redhead stared at her blankly. His mind was blank too.
The bladers got out of the bus. Most of them were chatting, apart from Kai, who was being chatted to by Takao; Boris, who didn’t understand English now and seemed to have gotten a big deal shyer and Yuri, who was still feeling slightly weird – besides Miaka managed to hold up the conversation all on her own. Sorata run off somewhere, dragging the shorter black-hared man with him. Seiishiro-san seemed upset by this.
- Well, y’know Eddie, I downloaded the beta-version of the 1.10 patch for LoD. – said Steve.
- So where are you?
- Kurast. Oh! While fighting that Durex-fellah I got unique armour and a rare axe. – continued the football player.
- Whoa! I only got three rares. – Eddie shook his head. – You’re lucky, man.
Only a few minutes later Sorata returned carrying loads of packed food. He was smiling brightly, while his companion was looking gloomily as if something terrible was about to happen.
- We brought some food, kids! – the young monk announced cheerfully. He proceeded to give various dishes to the bladers, sometimes making witty comments. Ivan and Kiki received some raw liver, because ‘it makes one grow’. But when everybody got his or her dish, one person decided something was missing.
- Sorata-san, you should have bought ice-cream for him! – Maika pointed at the little Boris, who was trying to eat some rice with chop-sticks. The black-haired monk gave the small girl a startled look. – You know kids need ice cream for proper development. – added the petit Japanese.
- No they don’t. – Ralf sounded patronizing. – It’s unhealthy.
- Of course they do. – Miaka placed her hands on her hips. – It’s for their mental development.
The German gave the black-haired girl a baffled look, while she poked her tongue out at him.
Meanwhile, Alexei Balkov decided, what he would do. He would bug the Demolition Boys and Kai Hiwatari to death. It was a brilliant idea – he would do what he was best at and he wouldn’t have to hurt anyone. Those boys would do it all for him.
Somewhere in Moscow Boris Balkov had enough of waiting for his son to send a massage to him. He opened the phone book and dialled the number of an organization named The Guild of (something blurry here) Assassins. A polite, feminine voice asked, whom he wanted to kill. After a few minutes the violet-haired Russian was relaxing, happily thinking of how painfully those brats were going to die.
In the Russian branch of The Guild of Inept Assassins the operator called their best man. He was known as Death-On-Wings, Wings-On-Death and many other equally stupid names, but the most famous was Bill ‘I-Am-An-Assassin’ Jones. His ineptness was going to be the end of the beybladers… If he’d manage to get to Japan that is.
A/N
Yucian is how Yuri would probably pronounce Yu-chan (read with a soft ‘t’ sound).
Eddie and Steve were talking about Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. The Durex-fellah is really called Duriel and is one of the game-bosses.
