Hi there, thanks for stopping by and reading this, just a warning it is yaoi...eventually. Also it's a war fic so if you don't like either of these you may as well press the back button on your webpage, hope you like.
Disclaimer: Beyblade does not belong to me...if it did Kai and Takao would have been doing naughty things from the very start! XD
2004 – Tuesday 29th June – 2:48PM
Rain pelted down outside the classroom window. Blue eyes gazed at the droplets of water running down the glass.
Outside was dark and gloomy, with giant black clouds filling the sky.
"Kinomiya-kun," the voice sounded so distance, yet it was so close "Kinomiya-kun, are you listening to me?"
Blue eyes were ripped from the water droplets to the front of the classroom.
"If I was listening I would have answered you the first time you called." Takao spoke back. The class erupted in a small fit of giggles which was diminished by the teachers glare.
Takao on the other hand wasn't in the mood to act nice, not on such a gloomy day, and definitely not in maths class.
"Kinomiya Takao watch your-"the teacher was cut short as the bell signalling for the end of school rang.
Takao including the other student's, gathered his books and rushed out of the door before he could be kept back.
Moving down the corridor to his locker Takao spotted Daichi standing there, waiting for him.
"Do you have work today?" Daichi asked watching Takao walk towards him.
"Yeah" Takao gathered his bag and books from his locker, "I'll drop you off half way, so you'll have to walk the rest, okay?"
Daichi sighed, "That's okay I guess."
They walked through the lessoning crowd of people in the hallway side by side. Nether shared words until they reached the entrance doors. The rain seemed to be pelting down even harder then it was a couple minutes ago.
"Maybe I should take you home?"Takao looked at Daichi whose nose had crinkled up as soon as they stepped outside.
"No its okay, I brought another umbrella" Daichi lied. He had left his back at the Dojo sitting on the kitchen bench.
Takao already new this.
"No you didn't." He playfully punched Daichi in the arm. "If you don't want me to take you home, you can take the umbrella when we split. Agreed?"
Before Daichi could protest, Takao had already walked off towards the bike racks. Daichi soon ran after him, not wanting to get to wet seeing as Takao had the umbrella. After finally reaching the area where Takao was standing he saw him wipe the seat with his jumper.
"I really wish they'd make this area undercover" he complained. Takao folded his jumper and laid it on the metal rack behind the seat were Daichi would sit.
"Maybe you should take it up with the student council"
"I think I might"
Daichi sat on the jumper holding the umbrella high enough to cover Takao and himself. Takao rode outside the school gates and down the alleyways in-between the houses.
"Hey Takao-kun" Daichi began "Some of the guys in my class were talking about how the new medical centre was looking for help, you know like cleaning and stuff. I heard they payed good money too."
"Hmm, yeah I saw that too. There are advertisements all over the senior school lounge"
"I was...well I was thinking...maybe I could ably for a job there?" Daichi leaned in closer to Takao's body trying to suck in as much warmth as he could get. It was freezing.
"You sure? You never were one for cleaning" Takao laughed. He looked over his shoulder at Daichi to see him pout. "Do you know if you need to submit a resume?"
"Yeah I think you do" Daichi buried his head in Takao's back once again for the warmth.
"I'll help you write one out then, yeah?"
Daichi's head shot up in excitement. "You would?! Really?!"
Daichi didn't get a reply; instead his face was rammed into the back of Takao head. Both of them groaned in pain. Rubbing his nose Daichi peered over Takao's shoulder to see why they had stoped so suddenly.
In front of the two boys was a camouflage army truck. Two soldiers stepped out. Both were wearing military uniform all neat and tidy. Their black hair was short and neatly cut, much well kept then Takao's or Daichi's.
While Takao had his long midnight blue hair tied in a low ponytail, Daichi's hair was slightly defying gravity, sticking out in every direction. The bright red colour only made it stand out even more.
Daichi's uniform was untidy, his top buttons undone and his tie, probably through one of the shredders in the library. Takao's wasn't much better. Although he did have his tie, only it was knotted in a bow for some unknown reason. No one ever mentioned it, so it was never questioned.
Despite the ruff appearances they were both quite small, Takao being more feminine, Daichi being smaller then his normal age group. They were both trained in kendo, courtesy of Ryuunosuke, Takao's grandfather so they were fit and strong. Takao was stronger of the two, whether it be in running, swimming, kendo even beyblading, Daichi still had yet to beaten him, but that hadn't meant he'd given up. Not just yet.
Back to the two men, they were both nearly drenched head to toe in the short amount of time out of the truck. They approached Takao and Daichi on their bike.
"You boy's okay?"One of them asked, his accent thick and hard to understand.
"Were fine thanks" Takao was about to ride off when the other grabbed the handle of the bike.
"You boys look cold" The man holding onto Takao leaned down to get a better look at his face. "How about we give you a ride?" both men smirked at their pathetic attempt at word play.
"That's okay; we can get home on our own. Thank you officers" Takao tried again to get his bike free but to no avail.
Daichi began to worry. Not for their sakes but for the soldiers instead. Last time Takao stuck up for himself the men took a trip to the junk yard, literally. Of course this only ended with him losing his job and being punished by the army.
"You know, with this war going on, it's not safe for young kids like you to be out on your own" a third soldier stepped out of the truck and began to walk towards his army mates.
"Well in that case, my friend and I better hurry home" Takao smiled politely at the men.
"Oh don't be like that." The man holding on to them smiled back at Takao then at Daichi "Were just being helpful"
"Yeah?! Well you've done enough thanks!" Daichi swung the umbrella around poking the man in the eye.
He cryed out; stepping back with his hand covering his wounded eye. The action shocked the other two soldiers who didn't pay much attention to Takao and Daichi who were currently fleeing the scene.
Sounds of laughter made by the two could barely be heard through the heavy rain.
"Good one Daichi" Takao panted from the fast peddling and laughter.
"Well it was better then you getting in trouble like last time" Daichi's laughter dies down as they began a slow pace ride once again.
"Hey those guys brought it on themselves" he retorted back.
Turning down another street Takao stopped again. Daichi slid off the back of the bike.
"Do you want me to take you home? Just encase"
Daichi shook his head and handed the umbrella over to Takao who didn't take it.
"How do you expect me to hold it when I'm riding baka?" Takao laughed playfully, but Daichi knew, Takao was perfectly capable of riding while holding an umbrella. He'd done it loads of times.
There was no point in arguing. Takao wasn't going to let Daichi walk home in the rain.
"Fine. Will you be back normal time?" Daichi held the umbrella over the two of them for the time being.
"Nah, I get of early today so ill see you at 6pm. I made some rice balls for you, there in the back of the fridge. I'll bring home some take-out for tonight, sound good?"
"Pizza?" Daichi's face lit up in hope.
"Maybe, ill see what I can do. Do your homework" His response was an unhappy groan, which only made him smile. "Ja!"
Takao rode off in the opposite direction and disappeared in the rain.
"Bye" Daichi whispered. He turned towards the street and continued his was to the dojo.
Well that's Part One of Chapter One, I hoped you liked it, it was originally written for English class, but my teacher didn't like the idea of the plot coughyaoicough. He was so uncool XC, thankfully he's gone and now my new teacher wants me to continue writing it instead of the other one I started in its place. She's so awesome XD (I made the new one suck really bad hoping he'd let me continue this one lol)
Anyway ill tell you know so it doesn't confuse you later on, the stories written in a sort of pattern, so it goes from the past to present tense, this chapter being the past (2004 – 2006), the present tense being the year 2007, if you get confused (the dates are kind of random) ill always have a date at the start of the chapter parts.
Oh and encase you were wondering Takao's 17 and Daichi's 16 in this chapter.
Please review and tell me what you think, all comments welcome...well that depends. Try to be nice please
