Scars

I OWN NOTHING!

Please read author's note at the end.

Kyoya Tategami stands in the middle of the room. His breath pants heavily inside his chest.

"Go!" Yuki's new bey simulator starts. Beys shoot out from holes in the way and ricochet off the walls. As the beys fly around the room, Leone dodges them, one right after another. Kyoya closes his eyes and moves to the side, slightly and calmly. He doesn't move otherwise.

A single bey flies by, stinging his cheek as it grazes the skin and scar. Kyoya's hand reaches up with lightning speed and grabs the bey. Steam dribbles through his fingertips as the bey is forced to a stop.

Touching his cheek, a small bit of blood glides down his face. The beys around him continue to ricochet everywhere but none dare to touch him.

"Stop." The word escapes in a whisper. The beys all drop to their sides but Leone continues to spin. Kyoya throws the accursed bey to the ground and calls for Leone to follow him.

As he walks through the building, his thoughts go to his facial scars. How he got them? Many people had rumors. He had gotten them from a lion.* He had been attacked.* He gave them to himself to show how strong he was. Other things like that. No one really knew how he had gotten them…and he wasn't going to tell anyone. It was none of their business.

He had heard a song on the radio that Gingka instead on playing 24/7. He had been beginning to wonder if Gingka had been playing this song on purpose lately.

There was one line he liked of the song….one line he could connect with.

Basically the line said how it was all his mistakes or his scars that had brought him to who he was today. It was the mistakes he had made who had made him the blader he was.

He would never forget that.

Memories of battles with Gingka and others flash before his eyes. He sits on the edge of the roof and swings his feet over. When he had arrived there, he didn't know and didn't really care. Rooftops were comforting to him for some reason.

Leone continues to spin next to him as Kyoya's blue orbs glance over. A small sigh escapes from the blader's lips as he leans back.

Scars…they were a part of everyone. Our mistakes….make us stronger in the end. Our scars make us who we are. Huh?

Thank you for reading. I asked that you read this and here's why.

The other day, I posted a story saying that after TWWA and Snowfall were finished, I would stop writing fanfictions for MFB. 7 people reviewed and my friends, RetzTourmaline and GalaxyPegasus14, talked to me about it. Nami, Retz…, had a good point she made to me. Half the stories on here don't have beyblades in them and some don't even have beys. I thought about this and it's true.

My point is…I'm going to stay. I've put you guys through heck and back with my story choices but you guys have helped me grow as an authoress and I have too many memories here to leave. I'm sorry for the pain I've caused with my story about leaving and I hope you won't hate me.

About the story you just read, it's a songfic. But since we aren't allowed to post song lyrics in story, or we're not supposed to…I gave a summary of the lyrics. =P The song is Hysteria by Nano. She's amazing, on YT, and you should check out her songs. She sings in English and Japanese. =)

The *s in the story were "cameos" from other stories I have written. The first one was Snowfall, where in that story, Kyoya got his scars from a lion. The second was Memories of Beyblade, an older story where a chapter had Kyoya get attacked by a man, thus getting his scars.

Thank you guys for reading. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused and I'm looking forward to updating in a few days. Thank you all for everything.
