Adventures with Hyoma

I OWN NOTHING

Chapter 1

"Hokuto….good morning…" I say as I join my best friend, that's a dog… He turns and gives me a canine smile.

"Hyoma, good morning. How did you sleep?" We both turn and watch the rising sun.

"Nicely, thank you." I breathe in deeply and notice something off to the right.

"What is it, Hyoma?" Hokuto asks as I side down the little cliff we were standing on. I jog a little and stop by a broken tree. Hokuto joins me and we both examine the tree.

"This was done by a bey." I notice the markings. I pull out Aries and line it up with the marks. It's a perfect fit.

"Hyoma…who would do this? None of the villagers would hurt a tree like this when they know there is training areas."

"I don't think it was someone from Koma." I say darkly. I turn and face him. "I think there is an intruder in Koma."

"I will alert the others."

"No…don't." I stop him. He gives me a confused look. "I will look at this quietly and see what I can find. We don't want to alert him that we know he's here. Let's keep this quiet for now."

"If that's what you think is best, Hyoma." Hokuto sighs. I hear a rustle in the bushes and motion to Hokuto to be silent. I creep over and see it's just a baby boar caught in the bush. I free it and walk back to my friend.

"You go take care of things in the Village; I am going to go see what I can find." The dog nods and leaves. I start to run through the forest with my launcher in hand. All I have to do is grab Aries in I need to and I will be good. I hear voices and I duck into a bush. I lay, waiting to see who it is.

"Aww, how far is Koma Village from Metal City?" I recognize the voice. It's Yu Tendo and I hear Kenta reply.

"We're almost there, Yu."

"Hey Guys," I step out and scare them. They both jump and then sigh when they see it's only me.

"Hey Hyoma. Can you help us get to Koma?" Yu asks.

"Sure, but why are you going there?"

"Actually, we were going there looking for you." Kenta says.

"Oh, why's that?"

"Gingka wanted us to give this to you. There's a tournament in Metal City in a couple days and he wanted to know if you wanted to come. He would have come with us but Madoka had him helping her with Pegasus." Kenta hands me a pamphlet about the tournament.

"Oh, that was really nice, guys. Thanks, I think about it, okay?"

"Is everything okay, Hyoma?" Yu asks.

"Actually, there's something wrong." I say.

"What?"

"Someone tore down a tree earlier near the village. I saw more downed trees as I was coming out here."

"Maybe a storm did it." Kenta suggests.

"But the marks match that of a bey."

"What?!"

"No one in the village would do it because we have the training areas so we think there is someone who's not supposed to be here."

"Hyoma, is there anything we can do?"

"Not…" I turn at seeing something out of the corner of my eye.

"What, did you see something?"

"Kenta, do you remember how to get to Koma?"

"Yeah,"

"Why don't you to go ahead? I need to check something out. Tell Hokuto I said it was okay for you to be there."

"Okay, Bye Hyoma!" The boys continue on their way after I show them a shortcut.

"Alright, who's there?" I say, knowing I am being watched. I wait for a reply when a bey is launched at me. I pull out Aries and launch it. The two beys meet and I hear a squeal. The other bey returns and I hear footsteps, running away.

"Wait!" I call after them. I grab Aries and start to run.

Hope you liked it….this is only going to be a couple chapters but….review and tell me what you thought.
