Secret Desires
A/N: First off, Hello! I'm NyNyFiction and thank you for taking your time to read my very first fanfic. The story is about a girl called Melody Ohira who is the only girl beyblader in the Bladebreakers. I wanted to add her in the group for a change and start a relationship with Kai, this story idea has been with me since I first watched the Beyblade series from Season 1-3 so for me, it's a good two years. (I'm in England so it finished in 2005.)
The story is set after the first World Championships and at the episodesReturn of the Bladebreakers/La Isla Bey-Nita on Season 2 (V-Force). This chapter is really about Melody's introduction and most ofLa Isla Bey-Nita.
I hope you enjoy reading it.
Chapter 1: Return of the Bladebreaker
A nurse opened the door to find a young girl in a small hospital room. Her long, strawberry blonde hair was covering her face. Wearing a white halter neck top, blue jean shorts and white trainers, she tried to make haste and get out of the room. The light knock on the door from the nurse caught her attention and she quickly turned around as if she was hiding something.
"Miss Melody, there's a car waiting to pick you up."
Melody turned to the nurse and smiled in response. "Thank you, I will be down in a few minutes."
She nodded and left, leaving the blonde-haired girl to finish packing up her suitcase. She picked up her suitcase and took one last look at the small room before closing the door and stepping into the elevator. Melody leaned back against the wall and sighed before brushing her hair back from her face. It had been a long and tiring six months for her and now she was able to leave the hospital.
She had received a letter from her team-mate, Tyson explaining that he needed all the Bladebreakers together again so that they could battle a team called Team Psykick at the BBA center and although, Melody had no idea what was going on or who they were, she agreed. The reason was so she couldn't be stuck in the hospital anymore. Not only that, but her team-mate had managed to get Mr Dickinson, the head director of the BBA, to hire a driver for her.
The last time Melody had seen her team-mates was back in Russia and she was now wondering how they were doing.
-Flashback: Biovolt Stadium, Moscow-
For Melody, it all went quickly. It started right before one of her team-mates, Tyson and his opponent, Tala were engulfed in the ice crystals; the battle was intense as each blader fought their hardest to win. While everyone watched the battle, Melody caught a glimpse of something in Tala's eyes like…murder.
"Now Tyson, let me show you what it feels like to lose. Wolborg…" He lifted his hand up to the air and kept it there for a while.
'I've seen that before, when Tala was training' Melody thought. She remembered when she snuck out of the hotel while her team were staying in to practice. She encounted Tala on her way and decided to follow him. And the move…
"…Razor Bite!" It was happening in slow motion for Melody. She did the first thing that came to her mind: run. The shouting voices of Kai, Max and Kenny didn't stop her from approaching Tyson and making her way to Tyson. Tala's hand raised his hand down and Wolborg ran towards as Dragoon, Tyson's bit-beast was still restless.
Tala was already preparing his attack on him not hearing Melody's cry to Tyson. Wolborg, Tala's bit-beast charged forward passing Dragoon and making its way to Tyson. Dragoon was too tired to protect its own master and watched helplessly as the opposing beyblade directed its attention to Tyson.
"Watch out, Tyson!" Melody cried pushing Tyson away just in time.
It all went dark for a while as Wolborg's piercing bite hit her stomach. A little later, she remembered opening her eyes once more to see the bit-beasts flying around out of Tala's beyblade. Knowing Tyson had won the World Championships and was safe, she closed her eyes again.
-End of Flashback-
Melody knew what she did was stupid and irresponsible but she did it for her friends. Luckily, she had survived and there was no point in going back on that now. Stepping outside, she stopped at the sight of a guy dressed in all black and sunglasses leaning against a stretched black limo. He seemed shifty and somewhat devious but since there were no other cars around, she guessed he must be her driver.
"Ah, Miss Ohira, I presume." She nodded in response but still clueless if it was safe. "Don't be afraid, I'm one of Mr Dickinson's personal drivers, he asked me to take you to the BBA Tournament. That is where you are going, is it not?"
Melody nodded once more slowly. "Yes."
The driver smiled. "Well then, let's get going already! I'll take your bag." He took Melody's suitcase before she even had the chance to give it to him. She clutched her bit-beast, Drazine tightly in her other hand and walked forward as the driver opened the door for her and she sat inside even though she had a bad feeling about it.
As the car drove off, she couldn't help but think of the Bladebreakers. Did they change? What about Tyson? Melody missed the boy with dark blue hair and his little actions. His love for food was something else. The last Melody had heard about him was that he did win the World Championships after all and made the Bladebreakers known throughout the world as champions. However, she didn't even feel like a champion. After what happened, she didn't feel like she was a part of the team. Maybe Melody shouldn't have stood in front of Tyson…or was that wrong to think?
And the others members? Max probably was one of Melody's closest friends in the group; he was the bubbly American boy who always had a smile on his face to make everyone around him feel cheerful.
Without Kenny or Chief as they liked to call him, the Bladebreakers beyblades would have been destroyed several times and they would have never advanced to Russia. He was the smart one who had brown hair and a pair of glasses above his head. He carried around his laptop where his bit-beast, Dizzi was trapped in. Then there was Ray, the Chinese boy who was another close friend of Melody. He was always there to give Melody advice and talk to her whenever she felt sad.
And Kai? After spending a whole tournament with the Bladebreakers leader, Melody still didn't know much about him. In Russia however, things took a turn for the worst. They discovered that their pasts were connected from their parents' lives and deaths. And from then on, Kai seemed closer to her during the last few days in Russia but now she had no idea. All this sudden thinking and worrying made her so tired. Then again, Melody was pretty excited and had woken up early just to leave.
-A Few Hours Later-
"Melody, wake up!" A familiar voice called shaking her softly as Melody finally awoke.
"My head hurts." She said to herself as she slowly got up. Melody didn't realize she had dozed off in the car but when she opened her eyes, she couldn't believe it. Right in front of her was Kenny standing right in front of her and when she looked around the room; she noticed the others Bladebreakers were there too. "Kenny! How did you…? Wait, where are we?"
The sight of her friends made Melody happy but she couldn't smile and celebrate yet. Looking around, she noticed that they were not in the Beyblade Stadium as her driver had promised but in a dark and gloomy room. There were a few crates around and faint light shone a single window in the corner. The smell of saltwater prickled her nose and the only sounds she could were of Tyson's snoring. Her friends looked weary but they tried not to show it as they were trying to figure where they were.
One of the people in the room that Melody had no idea about was an unknown girl about her age with short, brown hair. She was wearing a white skirt and a pink top and seemed to be figuring out who Melody was too. "Melody! How did you get here?" Kenny asked.
Melody turned to Kenny and smiled at him. "To tell you the truth, I don't remember, I fell asleep in the limo – I thought something was suspicious when I saw the driver."
Tyson's snoring increased as they continued to talk but stopped when they noticed this. Kenny went over to wake him up and shook him hastily. "Hey Tyson, snap out of it! We're in trouble!"
"Wake me when we get there." Tyson grumbled.
"Well we're there already, so get up!"
Tyson scratched his head and yawned; he looked around for a few moments and stood up immediately. "We were asleep on the bus and somehow we ended up here with these things on us." The girl pointed at the metal devices on her legs then she looked at Melody. "And your friend is also here too."
Tyson looked over at her and grinned at her direction. "I can't believe it, it's Melody!" You're really here, how are you?"
She smiled back at Tyson who gave her an instant hug. "I'm fine Tyson."
"Oh, you two haven't met, have you?" The two girls shook their heads at Kenny's question.
Tyson grunted as he got up and walked over to Melody. "Don't worry Melody! she's no-one important."
A hand slapped Tyson on the back of his head. "Ow!"
Melody looked at the girl and smiled at her. "Hey, I'm Melody." She put her hand out.
The brunette girl looked a little confused at her gesture but then the girl smiled back at Melody and shook her hand. "My name's Hilary." But still, she seemed pretty nice but not to Tyson of course.
A voice startled the group interrupting their conversation from the speaker phone. "Good morning. I hope you all had a pleasant nap."
"Who said that?" Tyson asked.
"In time my friend, things will be explained in time." The voice replied calmly to Tyson.
Max stood next to me and whispered. "This is getting freaky."
Melody nodded in agreement. "Yeah."
Hilary gasped. "They used sleeping gas on the bus."
"Then they must have used it on me too." Melody replied to her while Tyson on the other hand was losing his patience.
"Listen you creep, we got a tournament to get too and don't have time for this. So you'd better spring us outta of this pit and make it quick or else."
"About the tournament, change of plans. You'll be battling here." The group gasped in shock. Melody couldn't believe that it had only been a short time and trouble had already started for her and her team. Unlike the other Bladebreakers, Melody had no clue of what was going and who they were facing. She sat one of the crates and went into her pocket, pulling out a piece of paper that she remembered was given to her at the hospital.
-Flashback: Kiowa Hospital-
The knocking on the door interrupted Melody's sleep. Not that it mattered, lately she had become a light sleeper. Whoever was at the door let themselves in. An old woman in her late sixties stood by the door leaving a shocked expression on Melody's face. The elderly woman had her hair tied back in a bun and wore a grey jacket. "Oh Melody." She whispered. "Are you ok?"
"…who are you?"
"Listen, Melody…"
"How…do you know my name?" She asked almost ready to press the button for a nurse to come. But who wouldn't when an old woman would wonder into a person's room and started saying their name?
The woman sat down next to Melody and held her hand. Melody pulled back almost immediately. "Now don't be scared. But what I am about to tell you might…Melody I'm your grandmother, Yui Ohira, your father's mother." She stopped at the sight of Melody's confused face. The blonde-haired girl shook her head furiously, she wouldn't believe it. This old woman could be anybody, even a killer.
"What? You have no proof that you are!" She was about to press the button when Yui caught her arm.
"I talked to Mr Dickinson; he was the last person to adopt you, wasn't he? He's also an old friend of mine who got you into beyblading so I wondered why you were at the Championships for a reason. I called Mr Dickinson after I saw you get hurt in Russia. He told me what hospital you were in and I had to see my only granddaughter. When I saw you on the television, I knew it was you. You have the same eyes as your father" She told her. "And if you still don't believe me…" The old woman pulled out a folder, on the front it said, "Melody Ohira – Adoption Child Care Service."
"Where did you get that?"
"Mr Dickinson managed to get it for me. I read some of files; you were a very troublesome child." She chuckled.
Melody couldn't speak for a while. "Why now?" She managed to say while choking her tears, she let go of her grandmother's hand. "Why not a long time ago when my parents died?"
"I couldn't get to you because of all the adopted families you had been past to by Voltaire Hiwatari. He was in charge of what adopted families you went into since you were first admitted to child care until Mr Dickinson took over. I gave up and decided to live here assuming you were happier with whoever had you. It wasn't until I saw you on TV that I decided to call the BBA."
Melody put her head on her knees, she understood a little more. "Ok."
"I hope you know Melody," Yui said reaching for her hand, "That from now on, I will be with you. I mean now, you can ask me questions about your family if you like."
She nodded at her. "So, what else do you know about my father?" Yui smiled, she had managed to earn Melody's trust. She continued to tell her granddaughter all about her father and Melody listened to every word. It seemed okay to trust the old woman because it felt…right. She began to see her as a kind and nice person to talk to.
-End of Flashback-
But right now, Melody and her friends had to find a way out before she could talk to her grandmother again. She watched as Tyson took out his beyblade and launched it on the speakerphone damaging it before Kenny even had the chance to tell him to stop. Hilary glared at Tyson. "What did you do that for? I was going to ask how to take these things off."
She pointed at the metal devices on our arms just as Melody stepped forward to answer her question. "I don't think they would tell us so easily, it must be some kind of tracking device."
"Tyson, hang on." Kenny said. "That voice is familiar, I'm certain I've heard it before from Team Psykick."
While Kenny, Hilary and Tyson talked, Ray approached her quietly and grabbed her hand. "Hey Melody." He whispered and she jumped when he did this.
"Ray, you scared me." She giggled. "How are you lately?"
He smiled back at her and let go. "I am fine. What about you? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm doing…well?" She was about to reply when she caught Kai staring at them, something he would never do. Once Melody saw him staring for a few more seconds, he looked away. She quickly turned her attention back to Ray who seemed to be eagerly waiting for her to reply. "I met my grandmother."
Ray beamed at her. "Wow, that's…" The sound of Tyson's opening the door stopped Ray from continuing.
"Come on." Tyson led the group out. Both Melody and Ray ran behind them.
"Oh no, look!" Hilary said. The group had run to a dead end with no path to take them anywhere.
A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed chapter 1, to tell you the truth, I didn't think this was the greatest but hey, it's the first chapter. Oh yes! I think of my character Melody as an original beyblader, she only wears one outfit like everybody else throughout the second series. Well, there's one last thing you have to do…Review!
