I know I should be updating, 'Runaway Hilary' but I just got this idea and I just couldn't help jot it down. =D I was listening to music on my iPod and an old Kim Possible song started playing. I started feeling nostalgic and put on a 'Sitch in Time' on YouTube. When I was watching, in my mind the story, somehow was linking to Beyblade. Now, one thing I'd like to mention the story won't be exactly the same, its roughly based on the movie. And the character's character will not be the same. What I am trying to explain is Kai who is based on Kim, he might do stuff which Ron did. I know sounds confusing, you'll understand it, eventually.
Oh, by the way, I've always liked the name Hiromi better than Hilary, so I will be using it instead of Hilary. =D The rest of the names will remain the same as they were in the English version.
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade or Kim Possible. :(
Enough of my ramblings, on with the fic. =D
A Sitch in Time
"We have all classes together, all day together; it's like a Pre K flashback," Tyson said, pumping his fist in air and twirling around Max.
"You, Kenny and Hiromi were together in Pre K?" Max inquired, "I thought you and 'Romi hated each other before she joined the team."
"The three of us were together," Tyson replied, when he stopped twirling, but the smile never left his lips, "and were great friends. But after Pre K it was all downhill."
Tyson paused, thinking about the all the times they had together.
"But we're friends again and it'll be like Pre K all over," he continued. "And this time, you guys are gonna be here too!"
Max and Tyson high fived each other.
"Though, without the naptimes." Kenny declared, smiling at the memory.
"Ahhh, nap time, you don't know what you've got until it's gone!" Tyson sighed, "But still this is gonna be a great year; aren't you guys psyched, I'm sure even you are happy, right, Kai? Kai…"
Tyson turned around and saw Kai and Hiromi walking a little behind him and the rest "Ughhh, would you two snap out of your own little world for two seconds and listen to me?" The two continued walking oblivious to Tyson's jabbering. "Hello, Earth to Kai and Hiromi, are you two even listening, you two are not even listening when I'm telling you that you're not listening! Are you two deliberately doing this to annoy me?"
Hiromi diverted her eyes towards Tyson; she put both her hands on her waist and spoke, "No, we've suddenly gone deaf!"
"Were you being sarcastic?" Tyson asked, sincerely.
Hiromi internally shook her head at how naïve Tyson could be at times, "Yes, Tyson, I was being sarcastic."
"We were trying to ignore your blabbing," Kai smirked. "but you're just too loud and boisterous to ignore."
"Jerk Face," Tyson stated, flatly.
"But you know you love me." Kai chided.
Tyson hmphed, "OK, wise guys. What was I saying then?"
"The little baby was saying how much he missed nap time." Hiromi said, sticking her tongue out at Tyson. "But I think the naptime void will be filled with Latin, which reminds me; we're taking Latin, why?" She started glowering at Tyson.
"Are you kidding? I'm psyched about Latin; the salsa eating, the salsa dancing, the other dances, the rumba, the mambo, the danza, the meringue," Tyson screamed happily, "I already have a project idea; the down low on J-Lo!"
"Tyson, this is Latin class, as in the language….." Hiromi stated.
"The dead language!" Kenny informed.
Tyson's eyes widened, "No salsa?"
"No J-Lo." Kai replied, with a smirk before quietly reaching down to take Hiromi's hand in his. She blushed a little before inter-lacing her fingers with his.
"No matter, we're in it together and that's what counts, right?" Tyson replied, refusing to feel down, "And this is still gonna be the greatest year ever!"
"I think, he's right." Kai smiled. "This will be a great year; we'll all be together."
They all stared with shock at their team captain; what had he just said?
"What?"
"Did you just agree with Tyson?" Ray asked, astonished.
"And did you just say you were happy spending time with us?" Max wondered.
"Yes, I did; I'm not that bad, you know." Kai argued, defending himself. "Besides, I really think this is gonna be a good year."
"Kai's right, it's off to an amazing start, we didn't go back to our own home towns, we are all staying together, and we are in the same school this year…" Max gave Tyson a look.
"What? It wasn't my fault that I forgot to register Ray, Daichi and you for school last year and you had to go to that school on the other side of town and besides, Kai decided to go to his old private school on his own will." Tyson argued, crossing his arms.
Kai had only decided to agree to attend public school because Hiromi had asked him and he couldn't find it in himself to refuse her. He thought he was gonna hate it, but spending more time with her and the other made it worthwhile and so did seeing her happy. If only the fan girls would stop drooling….. Seeing Hiromi happy, even made the annoying love notes from the over obsessed fan girls seem nothing. Never having anyone care about him as a child made him value his friends and Hiromi a lot, even though it took him a while to realize how much he cared for them; he eventually did. They meant a lot to him, he didn't deny himself that.
"Whatever, Tyson. It was your fault," said Max, "But other than that, we really are off to an amazing start!"
By this time they were near Hiromi's place. Her parents had been in town for almost a week and she'd not been staying at the dojo so she could spend some quality time with them. But they were all surprised, how come they had been staying so long; usually they left before two days were over. Their jobs kept them really busy.
"Yeah and all of our old evil baddies are in jail, nothing can go wrong!" Daichi stated, cheerfully.
Even Kai felt relaxed. The abbey had been reformed into a blading school by the Blitzkrieg boys, the labs for testing on students had been bombarded and completely destroyed by Ian. The kid loves his explosives. Kai had gotten Voltaire and Boris arrested, finally, last year for all the illegal things they had done. Voltaire due to his power and influence in Russia couldn't be gotten hanged and he got Boris bailed from his death sentence as well, but they were in jail for life and Kai was in charge of the Hiwatari Enterprises. All the other psychopaths they had faced were also in jail. Things, all around, were going really well, though.
"For once, all signs are actually good." Kai stated and he seemed genuinely happy.
"Yup, the future is totally bright," Hiromi said, leaning away from Kai now that they had neared her house. Hesitantly, she let go of Kai's hand and walked ahead of all of them. It was when they reached her front door, did Ray saw a signboard on the mail box and suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. He turned towards the others and spoke with hesitation, "Um, Hiromi, what's that?"
They all followed Ray's eyes towards the sign and their eyes widened.
"For sale," Hiromi uttered, in disbelief.
Just then a man in his young thirties walked his way between the group of teens. He had a shrewd expression on his face; you could easily believe him to be a con man who'd swindle you out of every cent you own. "I'm sorry there has been a terrible mistake," He stated, politely. He took a large tape type thing which had something written on it and pasted it on the signboard.
"Phew," Hiromi sighed, "'cause I thought…."
Just then the man moved out of the way and they all went wide eyed.
"Sold!" Hiromi yelled.
"Sold," Kai stated, flatly, with no concern in his voice, whatsoever but internally, he was yelling.
"Sold," Tyson and Max mumbled, choking on the candy bars they were eating.
"Sold," the man who was they now realized to be a real estate agent confirmed.
"I'm moving?" Hiromi stated, clearly traumatized.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Hiromi yelled, incensed.
"Honey, this was our way of telling you," her dad told her, reaching out to pat her shoulders.
Hiromi gaped at him unbelievably after shrugging his hand away.
"We thought it'd be easier this way," her mother said, trying to comfort her daughter, though knowing she was probably making things worse. Hiromi looked at her in a you're-kidding-me way, "For us!"
"You see," she explained when Hiromi continued glaring at her. "Out of the blue, the head of our corporation got changed. Then, instead of wanting us to do projects in different countries, our boss, Ms. Katiya, wants us to work there with her, at the home office."
"Where's the home office?" Hiromi asked, desperately.
"Norway," her parents said.
She blinked at her, wanting so much to believe she'd heard wrong but her parent's solemn expression made her think otherwise.
"Norway?" Hiromi shrieked, feeling like crying already. They couldn't...
Meanwhile the bladebreakers were all in the other room, trying desperately to eavesdrop in on the conversation. All of them, except Kai -who was sitting at the one of the dining table chairs, looking equally as anxious as anyone else- had their ears pressed to the door.
"Max, you're stepping on my foot!" Tyson whisper-yelled.
"Well you're elbowing my kidney!" Max retorted.
"Will the two of you shut up so we can actually hear something?" Ray reprimanded.
"Why are they talking so softly? This is so rude." Tyson complained.
"They don't know we're trying to listen here!" Kenny stated, he was on his toes trying to get space to press his ear to the door, to listen to what Hiromi and her parents were talking about.
"They should be more considerate. Don't they know anyone can be eavesdropping in on their conversation anytime? Do they know how much inconvenient it is to speak so softly?"
All of them sweat dropped.
Kai silently rolled his eyes but his thoughts were else-where. He couldn't believe his Hiromi was leaving him. This was not happening.
'Why does is it that whenever I care about someone, they have to leave me?' He thought.
He was determined, though, that if she did leave, then he or the other guys won't let something like distance come between them and Hiromi. And for all they knew, her parents might just be selling the house 'cause they never seem to stay here. But that was just him being optimistic, because if he was being realistic, by the looks of how long their private conversation had been going, it seemed unlikely.
He felt lost; it wasn't going well and it ached all the more that, just like always, he had no power to control anything. His frown was getting more apparent by the second as he tried to contemplate on the scenario at hand. He and Hiromi had become really close friends over the years and even though they might never admit it, they really liked each other more than friends. But, at the moment, they were happy just the way things were. So, Kai had no idea how to react. She was moving away... the person who meant so much to the Bladebreaker captain, who meant the world to him, was leaving... He had no idea what he was going to do, and this feeling of helplessness was just too much to take than anything else.
Suddenly, the door slammed and he looked up at the noise- he guessed that it was probably Hiromi- to see all the guys lying on the floor, atop each other. Tyson was at the bottom of the heap on top of who was Max, and Kenny was on top of the pile clutching Dizzy possessively. Ray had fallen down on the side and Hiromi's Mum and Dad were just staring blankly down at them.
Kai rolled his eyes.
"Jeez, don't you people know the meaning of knocking?" Tyson asked, ignoring the irony of the sentence. "Get the hell of me, you idiots!"
He pushed Max and Kenny off of him, causing them to end up falling on Ray.
"Ouch," groaned the neko-jin, "Yeah, we're the idiots, of course, Tyson!" he said, sarcastically while standing up.
"Sorry kids," Mr. Tachibana said, "I don't think she took that well."
"Well duh!" Tyson said, "So what, exactly, is going on?"
"You didn't hear?" Mrs. Tachibana inquired, raising her eye-brows before sweat-dropping.
"Since you people have no sense of respect for eavesdroppers and were speaking too soft; no, we didn't."
"Well, we - and 'we' includes Hilary- are moving to Norway." Mrs. Tachibana said, looking nervous at the very thought of their reaction.
"Norway!" They all shrieked, even Kai, though instead of yelling he said it in a solemn way. For the first time in years his face lost its composure and suddenly, he felt sick.
