I've tried my best to avoid OC-ness with the Beyblade characters, but if there was any, well…I'm not Takao Aoki

Chapter 1

Tyson gave a sigh of contentment as he lay back on the grass gazing up at the sky. His stomach was full, it was nice weather and there was no school to worry about. Plus, he'd managed to escape to a place where Hiro wouldn't be able to follow him, nagging him about training.

"Perfect," he murmured, closing his eyes, ready for a nice nap. But just then…

"TYSON!!"

Tyson jumped about a foot in the air, before turning around to glare at Hilary who was standing behind him, hands on hips, giving him one of her typical 'Hilary' looks.

"Hilary!" he said, irritated, "can't a guy have some peace around here?!"

"What do you think you're doing here?!" she asked, "You're supposed to be at the dojo practicing that new move Kenny came up with!"

"What!" Tyson sweat-dropped, "Hilary, I'm taking a day off!"

"With whose permission?" the brunette demanded.

"I don't need permission!" Tyson said indignantly, "I've worked hard all week and I deserve a break."

"You have a coach by the name of Hiro Granger, mister!" Hilary said, "You can't take a holiday without his permission."

Tyson groaned.

"You are coming right back to the dojo with me!" Hilary commanded, before grabbing his arm and dragging him along with her.

"Oi! Let go!" Tyson snapped, yanking his arm out of her grip, "I can walk by myself!

"Move faster," Hilary urged him.

Tyson stopped abruptly and whirled around to face her, their faces only inches apart.

"You really get on my nerves sometimes!" he growled.

Hilary looked extremely offended.

"I'm just trying to instill some good habits in you," she argued, "Admit it or not, the only reason you've started getting up earlier in the morning is because of me!"

"Yeah, but…that doesn't mean I want you to follow me around all the time!"

Hilary knew him too well to get angry at that. Instead she smiled slyly, "If I don't follow you around all the time, we won't have many more incidents like last night's."

That made Tyson laugh. Last night had been fun.

Flashback

"And that finishes our project on World War I!" Tyson said, closing his book with a flourish.

"You surprised me," Hilary admitted, "I didn't think you'd do such a good job."

"Hey, just because I don't do my homework regularly doesn't mean I'm not concerned about my studies," Tyson said, "it's just that I'm always too busy blading."

"I guess you are," Hilary said vaguely, stuffing her books into her bag, "I gotta go, it's…um…why're you looking at me like that?"

"Huh?" Tyson started, and went rather red in the face, "Oh…um…nothing."

"Well it's getting kinda late," Hilary said, feeling the same nervousness that she'd felt in his company so many times before, "I…I have to go home."

"I'll walk you home," Tyson said, as they both stepped out into the open.

"Tyson, I can go home myself," Hilary said, "its only two streets away."

"But it's really late," Tyson argued, "it could be dangerous."

"Um…why're you so concerned?" Hilary couldn't help asking.

Tyson moved closer, invading her personal space, and said, "Because…" And with that statement he suddenly pressed his lips to hers. His move was so unexpected, that for a moment Hilary just stood there unresponsively. Then as her brain started to catch up with reality, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him back. Tyson slipped one arm around her waist, leaving his other hand free to caress her face. After a few very passionate moments, the two teens broke apart for air, both flushed and slightly confused, though one thing was clear: they definitely wanted more of that.

End Flashback

Hilary surreptitiously slid her hand into Tyson's and he entangled his fingers with hers. Neither of them commented on the contact, instead choosing to walk back in silence, merely enjoying each other's company.

Back at the dojo:

"Hi guys," Tyson greeted his friends as he and Hilary walked into the living room.

"Hiya Tyson!" Max replied, in his usual bright and happy way. It was the start of the summer vacations and like always all the friends had gathered at the Granger dojo.

"Man, it feels good to be back here," Ray said, to nods of agreement from the others, "just like old times."

"Yeah, but where's Kai?" Daichi asked.

"Right here," a slightly bored voice said from behind Tyson, and they all turned to see Kai walking in.

"C'mon Kenny shut you laptop!" Max urged.

"Yeah, it's the perfect day for blading," Tyson agreed, "don't you wanna come outside?"

"Okay, just this one last website," Kenny said without looking up, "then I'll join you guys."

"Alright, but it's your loss," Hilary said, following the others out of the room. But only a few moments later they heard Kenny yell at the top of his voice. Everyone rushed inside to find Kenny staring at his laptop with his mouth hanging open.

"What the hell did you scream about?" Tyson asked.

Kenny looked up at them and slowly turned his laptop around so that the screen was facing them. There were gasps of shock and surprise all around because on the screen was a picture of Kai and Hiro sleeping together.

"Hiro?!" Tyson turned around to look at his older brother who seemed to have been rendered speechless.

"Oh my god Kai!" Max said, eyes wide, "You're gay? With Hiro?"

"No!" Kai looked horrified, "I am not gay!" He hated Hiro, he was sure they all knew that.

"That…that never happened!" Hiro spluttered.

"Then how do you explain the picture?" Ray asked.

"Someone must've edited our pictures," Hiro said, receiving skeptical looks from the others.

"Look, if you guys really are gay you don't have to hide it from us," Tyson said.

"Hide what you moron!" Hiro yelled, "Neither of us is gay!"

"And certainly not with each other," Kai added, scowling dangerously.

"You know the article that goes with this picture is pretty entertaining," Kenny commented.

"There's an article?!" Daichi said eagerly, "Read it out loud."

"Ummm…" Kenny hesitated, looking at Kai and Hiro, both of whom were giving him their most malevolent don't-you-dare-disobey-me looks.

"Oh, for God's sake!" Hilary said impatiently, whisking Kenny's laptop away from him. Advantage of being the only girl on the team: nobody threatened you with physical injury, and our beloved brunette was just too hardened to feel the full intensity of Kai's death-glare. She started reading:

"Many may consider the G-Revolutions' coach Hiro Granger a traitor for leaving his brothers' team and going over to his opponents, the BEGA Bladers. Little do they know that this act of betrayal was in fact to remain faithful to his commitment with no other than Kai Hiwatari. (Kai and Hiro sweat-dropped). Heart-breaking though it may be for millions of fans that Kai now belongs to someone, (Kai gritted his teeth in irritation) I'm sure many will agree with me when I say that Kai should be congratulated for finally finding love in his somewhat lonely life."

"That is the WORST piece of trash I have ever heard!" Kai burst out as soon as Hilary finished reading. Hiro seemed to have been rendered speechless (very unusual).

"Ffff…" Hiro looked around at Tyson, who had clamped his hand over his mouth. Ray was slowly turning red as he seemed to have some internal struggle. Max was staring determinedly out of the window, while Kenny, Hilary and Daichi were biting their fists.

"What?" Kai snapped. At that Tyson burst out laughing, and that of course set up a chain reaction.

"You're laughing?!" Hiro said incredulously, "This is not a laughing matter!"

"Look at it from our point of view!" Ray said, clutching his stomach as he doubled over laughing.

"Oh man, I haven't laughed this much in ages!" Tyson gasped.

"Stop. Laughing!" Kai growled, clenching his fists.

"Easy for you to say!" Max choked out, while beside him Hilary collapsed onto a chair, she was laughing so hard.

Finally, when everyone had calmed down enough to talk, Hiro asked, "What's the name of this website?"

"The truth about famous Beybladers dot com," Kenny replied.

"Famous Beybladers huh?' Kai said, "So that means all of us?"

"Uh…I think so," Kenny said, staring at the screen of his laptop.

"Now what?" Ray asked.

Again Kenny turned his laptop around and again there were gasps of shock and surprise all around. Tyson felt as though someone had punched him in the stomach. Whoever had made this website had managed to get a picture of him and Hilary kissing last night. There they both were, on screen, arms around each other, looking very busy. This time everyone whipped around to look at Tyson and Hilary, both of whom turned the exact shade of colour that was Tala's hair.

"So, um, is that true?" Daichi asked.

"Actually, yes," Tyson said, not seeing any point in denying it. Everyone gaped at them. All except for Kai and Hiro. Kai, because it was obvious to him that they liked each other. Hiro, because he was the one who had given Tyson some very stupid advice concerning Hilary. Hey, he wanted to have a laugh, and the advice included stuff along the lines of tea and spill and…lick and…let's just leave it at that. But ha had enjoyed the outcome.

"You and Hilary?!" Ray said, eyes wide, a giant sweat-drop appearing.

"Unbelievable!" Max muttered. Unfortunately for him, Hilary heard that.

"What do you mean 'unbelievable'?!" she demanded.

"Well, for one thing you and Tyson are always fighting," Max said.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean-," Tyson was cut off by Ray, "Hey Kenny, is there an article with this one?"

"Yes," Kenny replied, a grin forming on his face, "Pretty amusing one."

"Don't even think about it!" Hilary growled, but Ray who by now was pretty much Hilary-glare proof ignored her: "Both the Granger brothers seem to be very ambitious. While Hiro has paired up with Kai, his younger brother Tyson is busy developing and strengthening a relationship with his team-mate Hilary Tachibana. This attractive girl joined the Blade breakers a year after the team formed, and has remained a member ever since. Let's hope his love life turns out to be as successful as his Beyblading career."
