Author's Note: Note that this is a sequel but it is not required to read the first story "Wings of a Dragon." A lot of what happened in that story will be covered in different moments and in different perspectives so you won't be totally in the dark reading this fic. The first story was kind of like a prequel to this one and is Tys/Max. Once again the first fic is not required at all. The real story starts here. Enjoy!
Chapter 1:
"Chris?" the woman known as our teacher called out to the classroom.
"Here." A boy answered.
"Kelsey?" she said calmly.
"Kelsey was here but she left." Another student answered.
"Oh ok. Angel?" she said resuming.
"Here." A young girl answered.
"Sammie?"
"Here." Another girl answered.
"Max Tate?" she said almost seeming surprised. I didn't answer. I put my hand on my chin and looked out the window of Naminori High School. I was bored out of my mind and almost resented my mother for sending me to this school. It wasn't even a month ago that Tyson and I had gotten even more distanced from each other. Actually now that I think about it a lot had changed since the week before summer. Tyson and I were finally going out even though he probably hated me at the current moment. You see the week we got back I told him about two days before we were supposed to go back to school that I was going to be attending Naminori. He exploded. He wasn't angry at the fact that I couldn't be with him but at the fact that I lied to him about going to the high school the rest of the team was going to. Kai and Ray weren't too happy either. I felt terrible, but I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to worry, or spend the summer upset that we weren't going to see each other besides at practice. "Max Tate?" the teacher called out again. Right now I wish I could have told him sooner. I really cared a lot about him and he had matured a lot over the summer. Why I was stupid and didn't tell him is still a mystery to me. "Max Tate!" the teacher shouted out one more time. I hastily raised my hand slowly. When she saw me her eyes widened. "Oh there you are! I can't believe that an actual G Revolution is at our school! Oh the excitement!" she said bouncing up and down. I sighed and continued to stare outside at the clouds; all of them looked like my team.
"Now class since it's the first day I'll give you a free period plus lunch. Take advantage of it though as it won't happen often." She said taking out her bento and a pair of chopsticks.
I didn't even want to eat. I was still feeling guilty. A sound in front of me suddenly drew my attention. I looked up and noticed a girl had turned her desk around so that she was facing me. She had jet black hair with a bright purple streak on the left side of her face. Her eyes were emerald green and she had on a polite smile. She also wore the girl's uniform for Naminori. "Your new here aren't you?" she said in a polite tone that for some reason reminded me of Tyson. Then again everything at this point reminded me of Tyson.
"Yeah I am." I answered lowly giving her a bored expression.
"Cool! That makes me your senior in a way then!" she said laughing.
'Were in the same class though.' I thought to myself sweat dropping. I smiled though; I could tell that she was just trying to be nice.
"So where are you from Maxie?" she asked politely.
"From Hatekyo High. I was a freshman there last year but transferred this year." I said looking out the window.
"Well it's good to meet you Max Tate. Not a lot of kids here are as friendly as me. Most of them are quite shy actually." She said with a smile.
"You too. What is your name though?" I asked politely.
"You can call me Spaze. My real name is Sammie." She said putting up a peace sign. "Now I'll be right back, I forgot to ask the teacher something." She said suddenly hopping up. She ran a few steps before suddenly tripping and falling headfirst onto another desk. I jumped up alarmed.
"Are you ok!?" I asked bending next to her.
"Ow ow ow ow ow." She said sitting up and holding her head. "I'm fine. This sort of thing happens a lot when I get excited and happy and stuff." Spaze then stood up and walked the rest of the way to the teacher's desk. I laughed at that. She reminded of Tyson in many ways. Voices outside the classroom suddenly caught my attention. "Hoy old man! Is Max Tate in this room?" someone said who sounded like a boy my age. He was probably just a fan who had heard of me and wanted a battle or something. I sat back down. It wouldn't be the first time that had happened in this school.
"Well you see I can't reveal that information." He said calmly. He was our principal. I could tell from his polite tone.
"Look, he asked a question. Is he or isn't he?" an older teen said sounding intimidating.
"Y-yes he is." The man confessed sounding scared.
"Good. This will be our classroom then." Another boy said.
The door to our classroom opened and three teens stepped in wearing our school uniforms. I gasped when I saw them. They looked really identical to my team. The youngest of the three had navy blue hair and a blue and white hat backwards on his head. He would have been considered Tyson if not for a number of features. His hair was currently down and he had a bored look in his eyes. He also had a scar shaped like an X on his cheek that resembled Tyson's. My heart jumped when I saw this. It was no way Tyson could have gotten into this school. It was really expensive. The boy suddenly locked his navy blue eyes with me. He winked at me and I almost screamed. Was that really Tyson? The clues were right here but I couldn't accept it. He even had the dragon amulet that I had given him for his birthday hung around his neck. His uniform consisted of a black school jacket open, and an all white dress shirt which was unbuttoned at the top. He also had on the traditional black slacks and shoes. The boy next to him looked like Ray with his hair down. His uniform was properly dressed, the jacket was buttoned up halfway and he had a black tie visible under his jacket. He also had on black slacks and shoes. The next boy was unmistakably Kai. He had on the uniform with jacket buttoned up halfway with no tie. There was also a very realistic dog hanging out of his jacket. Were these really my teammates!?
"Hello class. We have three new students joining us today." The principle said smiling. "This is Takao Kinomiya, Rei Kon, and Kai Hitawari." He said pointing to each in turn. "Please make them at home." He said before exiting.
"Welcome. You can take your seats anywhere you please for right now." Our teacher said also smiling. The class was divided into three columns. Each had five rows and two seats per column right next to each other. The navy haired boy and black haired boy sat right behind me. The other teen sat behind them by himself. My heart was vibrating. I must be seeing things. That was definitely it. I've got it! I'll text them. That should be an easy way to convince myself I'm dreaming. I took out my phone not really caring if the teacher saw me to see I had just received a text message. I opened it up and gasped. It read 'What the hell Maxie? Turn around already!' in all bold letters. I turned around and my eyes widened when I felt Tyson's lips against mine. He pulled away quickly before putting his phone away with a smile. I almost screamed and tackled the boy onto the floor in a hug. Well I take that back. I did scream.
"Tyson!!!!!" I yelled causing him to fall off of the chair and backwards under Kai's desk with me on top of him. I was instantly red and got up quickly. "Sorry. I said quickly." 6 seconds later I was on top of Tyson's desk totally in shock. Everyone in the classroom had simply passed it off as nothing had happened though. I heard some saying there's no way that could be them, and Tyson doesn't look like that. Oh well, at least I was at peace for awhile. "So what are you guys doing here?" I asked smiling.
"Well, you see we didn't want to go to different schools from you. Tyson came for obvious reasons, Ray came not wanting to part with the both of you, and I came to keep an eye on Tyson." Kai answered.
"But how did you get in?" I asked obviously confused.
"Heh heh. That's another story. We had to take this test to prove that we were smart enough to enter this school so late. I barely passed though. Anyways we were in but there was still the matter of finding you, and getting ourselves into your classroom. Luckily, some neighborhood bullies, aka the 'disciplinary committee' helped us out. Did you know they think they run this school?" Tyson answered preparing his story.
(Flashback)
Tyson, Kai, and Ray walked up to the new school that Max was supposedly recommended to go to. Each had on the school uniform and had each made it their own in some way. "So how are we going to find Max?" Tyson asked chewing on a dumpling.
"Just ask around I guess. Shouldn't be that hard considering his fame." Kai said also staring at the giant school.
"This school is gigantic, who knows how long it will take." Ray said with a sigh.
"Oh well. Come on lets start looking." Kai said walking in.
(10 minutes later)
"Hoy. Is Max Tate in this room?" Tyson asked opening a door to an ongoing classroom. The teacher answered no and he went to the classroom next to it.
"Excuse me. Is Max Tate in this classroom?" Ray asked the classroom across from Tyson. The teacher said no as well, and he nodded politely.
"This isn't working." Tyson said as they went up the stairs to the second floor where Kai was searching.
"Any luck?" Kai said from atop the staircase as he watched Tyson and Ray walk up.
"Nope. What about that one?" Tyson said pointing to a nearby door marked 'Meeting Room'.
"It's worth a try." Ray said leading the way into the room. He opened the door and the three bladers were faced with a room of very tough looking teens. They all had black hair with the top over the top of their face. It was about three inches in front of their forehead. They all had the school uniform on with the logo of 'Disciplinary Committee' on their jackets in Japanese.
The committee soon noticed their presence and looked at them with death glances. "This room is for us only. Get out or be beaten out!" one of them shouted.
"Do you guys know where Max Tate is?" Kai asked unphased.
"Didn't you hear me!?" he yelled eye twitching at the fact that someone had actually talked back to him.
"We heard you pin head now answer the damn question." Tyson said before finishing off his dumpling.
The teen looked at them with his face turning red in anger. "Actually now that I look at you, you're new. Hey guys how about we give these guys the welcome wagon?" another of the clones said. The rest smiled in agreement and started to close in on the three.
"This is some school Max has been sent to." Tyson said spitting out the dumpling stick he was currently chewing on.
"Sure is. All the more reason for us to be here then. How troublesome." Ray said sighing.
"Enough chit-chat. Let's get this over with." Kai said already bored.
"You guys sure are cocky!" a clone said smirking. There were 6 of them so the odds were against them but it didn't seem like they had noticed that yet. "Get them!"
The first clone rushed at Ray fist raised, ready to strike. Ray was ready instantly and jumped up, disappearing from his sight. He looked up just in time for Ray to crash his foot into his face, knocking him out cold. 1 down. Another clone rushed at Tyson with a bat swinging wildly. He dodged them all before grabbing the bat midswing. He then ripped the bat from him before upper cutting him hard. 2 down. Kai simply stood while three clones rushed him at once. All three swung at the same time missing instantly. He had back stepped and before the teens knew it they were on the ground unconscious. 5 down!? Tyson and Ray finished off the last one no problem. Tyson put his arms behind his head smiling. "That was fun. We don't get that kind of excitement anymore huh?" he said smiling.
"You really enjoyed that huh Tyson?" Ray said sitting at the desk. The room was about the size of a classroom. It had windows facing the doorway, along the north wall over looking the school. There was a desk in the center of the room with a laptop on it and in front of it was a small coffee table. Two couches faced each other by each side of the table and an armchair was facing the desk behind the small table. Other than the furniture though, it was really bare.
"What a boring room." Kai said sitting on one of the couches.
"Hey this computer seems to have the file on every student in Naminori." Ray said who was currently checking out the computer.
"Awesome! What room is Max in?" Tyson asked running over to his side.
"It doesn't say. It's only the records for who enrolled and their attendance."
"Put our names in then. Make sure its Takao Kinomiya, Rei with an e-i, and Kai Hitawari." Kai said also walking over to the laptop. Ray quickly put in the names before closing it.
"There. We are officially students of Naminori High now." Ray said with a small yawn.
The three walked to the door and were about to exit when a man suddenly appeared there.
"What happened here?" he said from the doorway obviously surprised.
"Umm-"
"Were looking for Max Tate. Do you know what room he's in?" Ray asked politely.
"Why of course I do but what happened here?" he asked adjusting his glasses. He was about 5' 9 and was wearing an all brown suit. His hair was mostly gray and he was definitely an older looking man.
"Some guys got in our way is all." Kai said crossing his arms.
"What he means is that these gentlemen here attacked us for coming in this room. We were clearly defending ourselves." Ray said once again being polite.
"Well that is believable that these young men attacked you but that you took all of them out at once!? I don't think this is good. I'll take you to your friend but I beg of you not to start anymore trouble." He said bowing in respect.
"Sure of course." Tyson said wanting to hurry up and find the blonde.
"Now may I ask your names?"
"Takao Kinomiya."
"Rei Kon. Spelled R-E-I not R-A-Y like the beyblader. Of course that's not me, I mean we look so much alike, because it's not like I've ever had a beyblade battl-" Ray was stopped midsentence by Tyson who had hit him in the arm.
"He gets it." He said lowly. Ray smiled and sweat dropped.
"And I'm Kai Hitawari. Not Hiwatari." Kai said slowly.
"Very well. I'm principle Pollo. Nice to meet you. This way now." He said directing them down the hall.
(End Flashback)
"And that's pretty much it." Tyson said finishing his story. The navy haired blader suddenly yelped as he was poked in his ribs.
"Did you guys really take on the disciplinary committee?" Spaze said suddenly right next to Tyson. Everyone suddenly looked and saw Spaze kneeling on the floor between Tyson and Ray but instead of her uniform she was in a bright kimono with her long hair tied up. It was about 5 seconds until the fact that she had appeared there sunk in and they all suddenly gasped/ screamed.
"W-when the hell did you get there?" Tyson asked who was wide-eyed and currently on the floor.
"Ummm about a few seconds ago why?" she asked like it was no problem.
"What's with the kimono?" I asked hoping for a logical explanation.
"It's the first day of school." She said blankly. We all sweat dropped and stared at the girl.
"Oh yeah. Guys this is Sammie. She was the only one who actually bothered to talk to me like I was some superhero." I said smiling.
Tyson jumped up and held out his hand with a smile. "My name is Takao Kinomiya. Nice to meet you." He said politely.
She took his hand and shook it lightly also smiling. "Nice to meet you as well." She said smiling.
"I'm Rei Kon. And that's with an R-E-I not-"
"Rei!" Tyson yelled.
"Sorry." He said sweat dropping. Ray then stood up and held out his hand.
"Kai Hitawari." Kai said mimicking Ray.
"Nice to meet the both of you." She said shaking both of their hands. "But tell me is it true you guys really took down the disciplinary committee?"
"Yeah. Why is that so hard to believe?" Kai asked.
"Well because they've never been fought against or even talked back to before. Hibari-san wont like this." She said nervously looking around.
"Who's Hibari?" I asked confused at her behavior.
"He's like the principal of the school. He and the disciplinary committee keep everything in shape. Even events that the town has. You really don't want to get in his way." Spaze said with a small sigh.
"Whatever. I don't care anyways. So what class is this?" Tyson asked changing the subject.
"This is classroom AB. Not to easy to get in." I said remembering the test I had to take to get in.
"This is boring. How much longer are we here?" Tyson said looking up at me. He may have matured over the summer so that he was no longer annoying to anyone but he and I had only expanded our attention span by about 10%.
"I don't know. Its rest hour right now." I answered him.
He leaned back in his chair with a sigh. "Well if its rest hour doesn't that mean we can go when we want? The first day isn't always required." Ray said also bored.
"Yeah I guess your right. Let's go then." I said hopping off of Tyson's desk.
"Where are you guys going?" Spaze said with curious eyes.
"I don't know. Probably to get something to eat." I said stifling a yawn.
"Can I come too?" she asked hopefully.
I looked at my team and they all nodded. "Sure you can." I said smiling.
"Yosh! Let's go!" Spaze said before leading the way out of the door. It wasn't long after we turned the first corner that she tripped and fell over.
'She truly lives up to her name.' I thought sweat dropping.
"Does that happen a lot?" Tyson asked after she had gotten up.
"Yeah. Whenever I'm excited." She said smiling and dusting off her uniform skirt which went halfway to her knees. It fit pretty nicely actually. Not that I was looking of course. Wait when did she put her uniform back on?
"So where should we eat today?" Tyson asked with his hands behind his head.
"Doesn't matter. Lets try something new." Ray answered him.
"How about chocolate covered banana's? I know this great spot that only sells during special occasions." Spaze said smiling.
"Well it's new." Tyson said as we walked down the stairs.
"True. And it shouldn't cost that much either." I said feeling hungry all of a sudden. We walked out of the school and into the bright outside world. We walked on the sidewalk together, and for some reason I felt grateful. Even though today was only the first day of school. I watched as Tyson and Ray laughed at something Spaze had told them while Kai smirked. I'm really happy I don't have to spend this year alone. I'm even happier I've made a new friend along the way as well. The last new friend I had made was my ex and I didn't even know that my team hated him until "that day." I was so stupid back then even though it was only a month ago. Alan had actually insulted Tyson for no reason and I defended him. I feel horrible just thinking about it.
(Epic Flashback)
Tyson was suddenly stumbled out of his thoughts by a certain blonde's voice. Just the voice angered him at this point. Max had kissed him and then rejected him and it felt horrible. Especially if he was going out with that devil of a boyfriend Alan. "Morning Tyson." He said innocently as if nothing had happened.
'I can't stay mad at him. He was doing the right thing I guess.' Tyson thought to himself. "M-morning." He mumbled lowly. He suddenly felt like crap and really wished Kai and Ray were there with them. Especially Kai. They were practically brothers.
"He said good morning Travis! Or can you not here?" Alan said coming out of the bedroom and into the kitchen where the blonde was standing.
"I heard what he said." The bluenette said making his way out of the kitchen.
"Well you should learn manners. Its no wonder you couldn't snag Max." he said chuckling.
"What did you say?" Tyson said stopping in his tracks, getting angrier by the minute.
"I guess you really can't hear! Here let me shout it for you! You couldn't get Max because your just a lowly bum who cant make real friends so you leech onto other people through beyblading who just happen to be bigger freaks than you are!!! Did you get th-huuu." Alan stopped midsentence feeling a fist hit him hard in the jaw. He fell to the ground holding his jaw.
Tyson smirked. He suddenly felt good. "What the hell is your problem!?" Max suddenly shouted at the boy. Tyson's eyes flew open.
He turned around angry again. "Did you not hear what he just said to me!?" Tyson yelled back angrily.
"That doesn't mean you hit him!"
"What the hell else was I going to do!?"
"I don't know but you didn't have to do that!"
"So your defending him!? You're going to sit here and let him say that to me!?"
Max was suddenly quiet trying to think of a response. "It doesn't matter Max; someone who was raised by an old coot should act this way. It's only natural." Alan said standing.
Tyson snapped. "Max move out of the way."
"I can't do that Tyson."
"What do you mean you can't!?"
"If you try to fight him you're fighting me too."
Tyson's eyes widened and he clenched his fists tightly. "After all these years I thought you were my friend. We trained together, won together, and even lost together. I guess that was just a lie." He said trying to stay calm. He had tears forming in his eyes as he put his fists up. "Then so be it! I'm not holding back on you!"
(End Epic Flashback)
But the truth is that Tyson did hold back. After I had hit him hard enough to make that scar on his face he still didn't hit me even though he had the perfect chance to. Sometimes I wonder why he chose me. I broke his heart so many times but he never did anything to hurt me. It was because of me that Tyson grew even closer to Kai and Ray so that they considered him as a little brother to them vowing not to ever let anything happen to him. They had made no such promise to me. They were just my teammates and friends nothing more. Maybe if I had spent more time with them instead of Alan this wouldn't have happened. I drifted back from the group a little bit. I was feeling too guilty at the moment.
"Right Maxie?" Tyson suddenly said snapping me out my thoughts. "Hey what are you doing back there? Come up here and join the conversation."
"Come on Max we go through all this trouble just to see you the least you can do is walk with us." Ray said with a sarcastic smile. Kai nodded in agreement as well.
I smiled and nodded. I ran and jumped on Tyson's back for some reason smiling brightly as he struggled not to fall from my sudden piggyback urge. He stumbled for a bit before regaining his balance. He looked up at me with a raised eyebrow and I simply kissed him on his forehead as an answer. He turned his head back around smiling perfectly content. I don't know why but suddenly I was just too happy right now. Nothing could go wrong to ruin this perfect day. Nothing. At least it felt like it. I put my head on Tyson's shoulder enjoying the feel of him walking while carrying me. I really don't know what was wrong with me. I guess I was just grateful. Maybe this year won't be so bad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What'd you think? Am I great or am I great? Lol jk. Let me remind you that this is marked as a Kai/Ray fic so the story won't always be in Max's POV. More and more it's going to switch between the team so you can get the full perspective on everything. This is my fourth story so I have a little more experience but I'm not perfect. Any mistakes or suggestions are always welcomed in any of my fics and chapters. Flames aren't welcomed and will be used for some….. stuff. I can't think of anything clever to say. REVIEW/FAVORITE and all that good stuff!
Next Chapter Preview:
(On top of Naminori High School)
"Hibari-san, we have reports that half of the disciplinary committee was knocked out a few minutes prior to the new student's names being added to the list. We believe it was a certain Takao Kinomiya, Rei Kon, and Kai Hitawari that did it." A clone to the disciplinary committee said bowing down. "They are in class AB but have recently left the school building. Their current location is unknown."
"So you're telling me that three students beat half of the disciplinary committee and you let them?"
"U-um. Well you see the one with the hat and the one with the long hair took out 2 together but the real problem was the oldest one. He took out all three of us in less than a second. I don't even remember feeling anything connect."
"Interesting. This Kai Hitawari sounds very capable." A very intimidating voice said with a smile. "I'll find whoever disrupted my school and when I do… I'll bite them all to death."
