Shugo Chara:The Past

Chapter 30

After the drinks,Manaka led us around the house and showing us each room passed by.She was richer than I thought.Five stories,10 bathrooms,25 bedrooms,5 kitchens,a indoor pool,an outdoor pool,a golf court,a playground,soccer field,stadium,a big attic,storage room,10 cars,4 limos,a whole entire room full of Manaka's clothes.Not to mention,bowling alley,hot tub,a spring,and a water park..

We reached the football field,and walked in seeing a boy wiping his face with a towel.He had white blond hair,and blue eyes.He looked,about 12?Wow.

His white teeth flashed us a smile so bright,my eyes were blinded for a second."Who's that?!"Yaya asked interested.

"This is Jordan."Manaka said as he walked over to us."He's from America."
"Hello,It's nice to meet you!I'm Jordan!"he said smiling again.(Bold is English.)

Manaka introduced us to him and we sat down on one of the benches as Jordan hung a towel over him."So,hows everyone doing?"he said wrapping his arms around Manaka's shoulder.Manaka sighed,a small blush on her cheeks."I-I'm..fine."she said stepping back.Jordan glanced at Kukai,then at Tadase.His expressions was sinister and he glared at them."Manaka?"
"Hm?"Manaka looked up from her phone."Which boy do you like most?"he asked looking at Tadase and Kukai."W-Why would you ask that?"Manaka blushed nervously.Jordan shrugged still waiting for an answer."T-"she stopped standing up.He seemed to get what she meant."I challenge you to a battle!"Jordan pointed at Tadase who immediately jerked back."W-Why me?!"Tadase asked."Yea,Why him?"Manaka said.Jordan ignored them and started explaining the rules."If I win,I get Manaka.If you win,you can have her."he said."E-Eh?!!!!"we all shouted."You heard me!"he boomed."I challenge you to a game of......."
His challenge rung in my ears and everyone shouted again."What?!"
"That's too sudden!"
"Sword-fighting?!"
"That's Dangerous!!!"
"You don't want to kill him do you?!"
We all started talking at once."Stop!"Jordan yelled holding up his hand.We all stopped talking and looked at him."No excuses."he said and clapped his hands twice.A man came in with swords all nicely cleaned and polished.Jordan took one and motioned Tadase to do the same.He sighed and took one too.If he was scared,he wasn't showing it.Manaka was blushing madly and her fists were balled up against her cheeks."Two boys are fighting over Manaka-chan!!"Lala squealed."This is so exciting!!!"Mimi jumped.Kana sat on Manaka's shoulders her chin on her hands.She barely talks and when she does,its usually calm and stern.I looked at Tadase.Kiseki was saying something to him proudly."Well,he's not actually a..commoner."Tadase was saying.He looked confused and he was thinking about something.
Tadase's POV
I sighed as Kiseki lectured me about being a king and all that stuff."A king should be the very best at swords,so you must not lose,to a commoner!"Kiseki informed."Well,he's not actually a..commoner"I said.I thought about it for a while before the "challenge" started.If I win,I get to be with Manaka.If he wins,he gets to keep Manaka.I wasn't so sure if it was actually fair."Do I want to win?"I wondered.If I lose,then it will disappoint Kiseki,and myself.How can I be strong if I want to lose?I didn't have much feelings for Manaka and it was too late to change the deal now."Let the battle,BEGIN!"Jordan shouted standing up.Its about to start.
