I’m still using the Japanese-version names.

 Disclaimer: If I could, I would have bought Beyblade long ago, but since I can’t – it’s not mine. The story is still written only for fun.

 

The Grumbling Room: Chapter 5

 

  The Realm of Complaining Characters has been created to improve the morale of all annoyed heroes, heroines and even the side-kicks. Thus you could not only find there special rooms to grumble, but also swimming pools, brothels and even restaurants.  The best place to get a snack was known as “Blue-Red”. Like all other restaurants in here the staff looked exactly like the ideal guy/girl of the guest. Yep, they were shape-shifters – and good ones. This was exactly where Kai, Takao, Kiki, Yuri and Ivan decided they would eat.

 Right now Takao was happily devouring loads of food, which could easily serve as a supply for a small army. Kai was calmly sipping his green tea, glancing with disgust at his teammate from time to time, while Kiki was munching some meat and mushrooms with vegetables. The greatest surprise, however, were Yuri and Ivan – the two simply ordered every possible dessert in the menu.

-         You didn’t think Balkov would spend money on such silly things like cake or ice-cream, did you? – asked Ivan after eating a third serving of strawberry ice-cream with fruit.

-         Bo, – answered Takao, his mouth full of food. – I’m bot bab pupid.

-         What did you say? – asked Kiki.

-         Didn’t your grandfather teach you not to speak when your mouth is full? – growled Kai.

-         I said: No, I’m not that stupid. – snapped the younger Japanese angrily.

-         I see you like my food. – they suddenly heard somebody with a slight French accent say. Both Bladebrakers turned around.

-         Olivier?! – the smaller one yelled surprisedly. – What are you doing here?!

-         Ouch. My ears... – muttered Kai.

-         Getting better at cooking. – answered the small Majestic, as if it was absolutely obvious. – May I sit down? – he asked.

-         Sure! – happily agreed Takao.

-         Thank you. – Olivier sat down next to Takao. – So what are you guys complaining about?

-         Everything. – answered Yuri briskly.

-         Oh! Well, in that case I shall join you. – the French boy smiled sourly. – I do not understand, why people confuse me with a girl.

-         You’re not the only one who has this problem, squirt. – muttered the captain of the Demolition Boys. – And they do it, although they saw I’m flat and built like a guy.

-         I should think the lack of breasts is enough. – sighed Olivier. – Every girl in the show has them.

 Kiki nodded.

-         Yep, even Emily. – he said. – Speaking of which, I may find Mao attractive, but I’m not that stupid to try to date her. Rei and Rai would kill me. Or anyone else, who would try to date her for the matter.

-         Well, if we’re talking about your team, - said Ivan, while snatching a piece of a chocolate cake from under Yuri’s hand. – don’t you think that pairing the big guy – what’s his name? – with the leader of yours is a bit over-done. I’d say that... um... (Now I remember!) Gao is another asexual person. – he than put the cake in to his mouth and started munching it, while smiling triumphantly at Yuri. The taller Russian rolled his eyes and took a fourth serving of apple pie.

-         Yep! He just eats and sleeps. – Kiki nodded exuberantly.

-         Say, Red? – Kai addressed the captain of the Demolition Boys. – Do they pair you up with Rei, too?

-         No idea. – shrugged Yuri. – But if they do... I have nothing to say, except I don’t know were it came from.

-         Nivber do I! -  said Takao, somehow managing not to spit out what he was eating.

-         I wonder, why some people pair Robert and Saquinex? – Olivier shifted on his chair.

-         He didn’t seem to like him when I last saw him. – said Kai impassively.

-         Who is this Sa...-what’s-his-name guy? – asked Ivan.

-         A vampire. – answered Kai.

-         Oh... –Ivan blinked several times. – So, wouldn’t dating the guy involve... you know... biting?

-         Shut up! – barked Takao. – I’m eating here. That comment was totally unnecessary – Robert doesn’t even acknowledge the guy and he hates him. End of story.

-         Speaking of Roberts so called ‘affairs’, I believe, I saw one story involving him and Boris (Boris/Bryan not Boris Balkov). – piped Olivier in. Yuri cocked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow.

-         This is ludicrous! – he snorted. – Did the whole thing have to do something with them both being stiff, as if someone stuck a pole in their asses?

-         Well, I also saw you paired up with Johnny. – said Oliver, with a pleasant smile.

-         Maybe it’s because they’re like explosives – just push the right button and they explode? – suggested Kai with a smirk. The Russian growled, but fortunately Kiki managed to distract him with a large piece of chocolate-nut cake – the specialty of the ‘Blue-Red’

-         Umm... Can’t we talk about something neutral? – pleaded Takao. – It’s getting too dangerous.

-         All the dare shows? – suggested Ivan.

-         Bah! Their only purpose is to give some silly fangirls another occasion to abuse us. – muttered Yuri.

-         And almost all the dares are about making out with someone. – sighed Kai. – They don’t even write, if the girls have breast!

-         They can’t... – interrupted Olivier. – They don’t know it – these are real people, who know each other only through Internet, and it would be very impolite.

-         It would be nice, if they gave us a break from making out at least with each other. – whined Takao, his mouth surprisingly not full of any eatable substance.

-         Or feeding Max sugar. – grumbled Kai. – It’s idiotic! You can’t get high from eating sugar, neither can you get an energy boost from it.

-         They can’t give you drugs and I don’t think some people would like coffee. – shrugged Yuri. – But I agree, the dares are almost all the same. They could ask for something more original – maybe you doing singing a silly song or Rei braiding his hair in to small braids?

-         The latter would take an eternity. – pointed Kai out.

-         That’s why I suggested it. – said the Demolition Boy and grabbed the bun, which Ivan was reaching for. – Revenge is sweet!

The long-nosed boy shook his head and casually took another bun. Then he poked his tongue out at his captain. The red-head seemed to want to punch the other boy, but eventually decided against it.

-         You’d believe some whackoes out there pair that disaster here with you. – the taller Russian addressed Kiki, while pointing at Ivan. The Chinese boy sighed and made weary face.

-         It would be worst for us than for them. – spoke up Kai. – Just imagine the havoc they would try to create.

-         I can do this on my one, thank you. – said Kiki, mimicking Robert in a silly way.  – I’m rather surprised people actually pair the Red-head there with your ‘grampy’. How old is he, anyway?

-         Don’t know. Don’t care. – said Yuri.

-         To old to have sex. – answered Kai. – Don’t remember how old exactly, though.
