Basara Kurochi:

I overheard someone talking in my room so I headed in. I know the others were downstairs, I slipped in when no one's looking.

I opened the door and only found Drazeros there. Well that's weird.

"Who were you talking to?" I asked him.

"I wasn't talking to anyone. No one came here except you." Drazeros replied.

"I really thought I heard someone else here."

"You must've been daydreaming."

"I don't daydream. I'm not one to escape reality."

"As if."

I sighed and locked the door. I took out my phone to check out the time. Midnight. Ok, I just have to relax. Once the tournament is over, I won't have to bare with these guys anymore.

Kurai Kurofuchi:

"Ugh... This sucks." I muttered.

"You have no choice. Just stay calm Kurai." Drazelle tried soothing me. Not working.

"Come on!" I groaned. "It's been three years! I want to talk to him! I want to have a match against him! I at least want to see him face to face."

"Not this again..." Drazelle muttered.

"Ever since that day, he's been suffering, while I've been alive this whole time! He was bullied, then he turned into a delinquit to fend for himself, he turned into a person nearly everyone hates! Father made his life worse than it already was. By then, the only friend he had was Gunner, but they weren't even friends! They just grew up in the same district! Then Drazeros came into his life. He manipulated him. Used him to get power. Then he broke through his darkness while defeating Dragold. Six months later, he was sent to Crestland to help Kamon conquer his inner darkness when he know he haven't fully master his own! Then he met Ryan, the kid that calls him 'big bro' even if they aren't related and eventually, his life turned slightly for the better! I can tolerate that part, but still! I want to be there for him. He can't control his darkness without my help and you know it, Drazelle!" I ranted out.

"Are you done now?" Drazelle asked, obviously bored by my ranting.

"Not yet." I growled. I focused my energy and flame-like shadows gathered beneath me. I clenched my fist and punched a brick wall, demolishing it. Then the shadows disappeared. "Ok, now I'm done."

"You really need to get over that little brother complex you have." Drazelle muttered.

I felt my cheeks burn up slightly and sighed. "As if I could..."

"Not to worry." Drazelle continued. "You'll be able to talk to him soon."

"Say what now?" I asked. "Really?"

"The Snowbreak Crossfire GP tournament is coming up in two weeks." She replied. "You'll at least be able to see him... And battle him... And maybe talk to him if he isn't to busy keeping that though guy act up."

"Or if he could handle the shock of me being alive." I muttered, sighing.

Kamon Day:

Now that we have this awesome table to play on, the two weeks flash by in no time at all! Basara led the way back to the train station. Along the way, we saw a lot of delinquits, but none of them moved forward. They all just ran away after just seeing Basara.

"This is new." Garuburn commented.

"I guess Basara is like... King of Delinquits here." I replied quietly.

"I can still hear you flame-head." He said, not looking at me.

I froze for a minute then laughed in embaressment. "Ehehehe... Uh... Sorry?"

"Hmph." He kept walking all the way to the train station. "Hurry up already."

We all bought our tickets and went onto the train. The trip wasn't that long since we're just going from one part of town to another. We reached our destination in 15 minutes and got off the train. We signed up for the tournament and waited for the announcement.

"Here it is folks!" B-shot Ryu called out. "Once again, B-shot Ryu is here for the Snowbreak Crossfire GP held in North City! Now here's the briefing!" A screen popped up behond him. "Now this is a first. For the perlimps, we'll be using a series of Dragon Bits!"

"Dragon Bits?!" We exclaimed.

"These Dragon Bits will be moving around the field. There'll be three types of targets. The orange ones will give you 5 points, the yellow ones will give you 10 points, while the red ones are worth 15 points! The first eight to get score 50 points and makes it back here will move on to the quarter-finals!" Everyone was surprised, but B-shot Ryu wasn't finished. "But watch out folks! Each Dragon Bit has a catch to destroying it. Hit the wrong place and you might find yourself trapped under a fishing net!"

"So we'll need accuracy, power and skill." Bakuga commented.

"Oh yeah!" Jenta cheered. "This'll be snow much fun! Wouldn't you say, guys?"

"Uh... Yeah sure... Why not?" Mitsuru replied.

"Now! Let's get this party started!" B-shot Ryu called out. "B-shots, ready, aim... FIREBLAST!!"

We all ran through the gates, but I can't help feeling like someone's watching us from a distance.
