Inner Core (Book 2) (Completed)

Chapter 17 *Newbies*

(It was early in the morning, about 8:00 am. Reo got up out of bed. He was in jeans and no shirt. Dai has said before it's bad to sleep with jeans, but Reo ignores him half the time, so he doesn't care. He put on a black tank top and walked into the bathroom across the hall. His room was the closest to it, that's why he chose that room exactly. He looked into the mirror to see that he had bed head. He combed it down a bit with his hands, but that's all he did. He grabbed his toothbrush and started brushing his teeth. When he was all finished he walked down the stairs still partly tired, he saw two new people he hasn't seen before downstairs, and everyone was grouped up. Just once he wishes he could walk downstairs without something new happening.)

Kazu: "Ah, Reo. This is Kiriena and Shurui. They are part of the tournament. They'll be staying with us for a while."

Selene: "Hey Reo, do you see these guys? They look awesome."

Reo: "Yeah I see them."

(Taku looked at Kiriena's fire tattoo. He started to lift up the bangle.)

Taku: "Cool tattoo."

(Kirena ripped her arm back.)

Kirena: "It's not a tattoo and don't touch that."

Taku: "Jeez, sorry."

Ruri: "Mind if I ask what it is then?"

Kiriena: "It's a birthmark. I was born with it."

Taku: "Well then cool birthmark. I didn't even know birthmarks could look exactly like fire."

Kiriena: "Yeah, well let's stop talking about it."

(Sara walked up to the guy and started to talk with him.)

Sara: "Hi, I'm Sara. So what's your core?"

(Shurui looked at her and smiled.)

Shurui: "Metal controlling. How about you?"

Sara: "Ice. It's pretty nice. I bet not as nice as your metal controlling."

Shurui: "Hehe, are you kidding? My metal controlling is only good if there's metal nearby, but your ice can help you anywhere I bet. Nice core, Sara."

(Sara slightly blushed at him saying this.)

Kazu; "Metal controlling? Hm, I don't think I've really heard of that."

Shurui: "Oh, well it's not that interesting. I can just control anything that is basically metal. So steel, iron, silver, that kind of stuff."

Ruri: "Hmm, actually you could help us out, if you don't mind of course."

Shurui: "Hey, if I can help I gladly will. You were all nice enough to let us stay here so of course I will help.."

Ruri: "Well we just need some help building the tournament place and you can control metal which can help us with the construction."

Shurui: "Well no problem. I will gladly help."

Kiriena: "Wait, isn't the tournament in four days?"

Dai: "Uh, yeah."

Kiriena: "And the place isn't built yet."

Ruri: "Mmhmm."

Kiriena: "Seems kind of dumb."

Shurui: "Wait, Kireiena don't say that. It's their tournament. They make it how they want to. Plus they're letting us stay here so please be nice."

Kiriena: "Pfft, whatever."

Reo: "I like the fire in this one."

Selene: "Why, because she reminds you of yourself?"
