Hilary stood there leant against a tree, like any other day, watching the boys train. Mumbling how she could do better under her breath. Not seeing how a certain team captain was listening to her. Kai was sat up in the tree, on a branch just over Hilary's head. He smirked at the idea of her beating one of the guys.
"You say all this stuff, Hilary… yet you can't blade…" Kai said bluntly, jumping from the tree and landing on his feet.
"Oh trust me, life's full of surprises." Hilary said with her back to him.
"Fine then. How about a 'friendly' bey-battle…" Kai scowled her whilst she smirked at him.
"Sure thing Kai…" She replied, walking off.
"Well… where'd you think you're going?" Kai asked, suddenly puzzled at her action.
"Awe, come on Kai, at least let me go home and grab my blade." She insisted puppy eyes and all.
"Fine." Kai growled. She smiled, turned round and walked out the arch, swinging her hips seductively whilst Kai just gawped, his face returning to its usual emotionless self when she stopped and turned around.
"Oh, and meet me at the park down the street… there's usually a lot of kids that blade there at this time, and I want an audience there when I beat you." She said, giggling as she turned and walked off, swaying her hips again.
'Ah man, why'd she have to swing her hips… she looks good when she does it… Wait, what? I didn't think that, I didn't think that!' Kai argued, mentally shaking his head.
'But you did master, you know that you thought it, stop denying.'
'Dranzer, out of my thoughts im thinking here.'
'But Master Kai, im only trying to help you, you seem lost just a moment ago when she was walking away. You like Mistress Hilary don't you?'
'Mistress Hilary, since when was she your mistress…?'
'Sorry Master, I just thought since you and her were spending a lot of time together recently I figured…'
'Well Dranzer, you figure wrong. Now, return to your bit-chip and out of my mind.' Kai hissed.
Hilary ran a couple blocks before stopping at the gate of a huge white mansion. She walked up to the door and unlocked it with the key. She walked in and placed her bag on the floor, she smiled and looked around, still surprised that her grandparents had the money for the beautiful house.
She walked up the 3 flights of stairs and took a left at the top, walking down a long row of doors, arriving at her bedroom she smiled and opened the double doors that towered over her. Hilary walked over to her closet and walked in, she pulled off a white tarp and sighed at what she saw. On the table lay her most prized possession. Her sangria red blade lay next to the black launcher and ripcord. She picked up the blade and smiled as the bit-beast shone in the light from the window, in her hand, laid Areviaria the Peryton. She grabbed the launcher along with ripcord and strutted out of the closet, grabbing a change of clothes on the way out.
She changed from her black t-shirt and white skirt, into a red sleeveless hoodie and grey denim shorts. She placed a pair of white high tops on her feet and looked in the mirror; she smiled. After a few seconds grabbing the red ascot on the dresser and placing it around her neck. She grabbed her cell and placed it in the one of her pockets on her shorts. She grabbed the blade and placed it in the pocket on the front of the hoodie; she then hooked her launched on the back of her shorts.
She walked out from her bedroom, made her way down the stairs and out the front door. She decided to take the long was, as she didn't want to be seen by Kai or the boys on the way there. Her entrance was to be a surprise, just as much as her beyblading skills. She sighed happily as she imagined what the possible facial expressions she would see once she had won. She then thought about making the battle a little more interesting. She decided that when she met them, she would place the bet. If she won, Kai had to kiss her. She sighed dreamily when she thought of that… she then decided to let Kai choose what his reward would be… if he beat her.
'You like him, don't you Mistress?'
'Oh, hey there Areviarian… what d'you means I like him?'
'You sighed just a moment ago when you thought of him kissing you. You like him.'
'You and your silly assumptions, no I don't like him…'
'If you say so.'
'Please, could you go back into your bit-chip and leave my mind alone?'
She laughed at the mental mini conversation with her bit beast and carried on to the park. A few moments later she smirked, seeing the boys gathered round under a tree along with a few younger children sat on various apparatus getting ready to watch the battle. She thought of her entrance. She looked at the trail of trees and grinned.
"Come on Kai, this is Hilary were talking about. You'll beat her in no time flat." Tyson said while fist pumping.
"Sorry, but that won't happen if I have anything to do with it." A girl said giggling. They looked up to see a thin figure, swinging her legs as she sat in a tree. Red sleeveless hoddie, shorts, high tops and ascot being her attire.
"And who might you be?" Asked the blonde American, who was smiling as usual?
"Awe, and there I was… hoping you'd remember me." The girl pouted.
"Enough games, who the heck are you?" Tyson yelled, grabbing her foot and yanking her to the floor, only to be landed on. The girl stood on Tyson's back laughing.
"You never learn, do you Tyson." The girl stated.
"Hilary." Came from behind the girl. She turned on her heel and smiled.
"Ready to lose Kai?" She asked titling her head cutely, trying to get his attention. He looked away from the floor and up into her eyes.
'Wow… her eyes are… wow.' He thought.
'You like her, why don't you admit it?'
'Dranzer, how many times have I told you, stay out of my mind.' Kai mentally snapped.
Hilary looked back into his eyes, not blinking. 'His eyes are the most amazing crimson colour I've ever come across, sure I noticed them before, but they seem different this time… is that… no, his eyes don't show emotions.' She thought giggling at herself.
"Let's get this over and done with Hilary, I think you'll want your humiliation over with quickly." Kai insisted.
"Okay, but first I have a proposition for you." She laughed.
"And that would be?" He asked, uncrossing his arms and walking over to the beydish.
"You see, on my way over, I was thinking… Why not make this interesting and have a bet?" Hilary asked, walking over to the opposite side of the dish.
"And your terms or reward would be?"
"If I win, you have to kiss me." She grinned as everyone's faces stared at her as if she were crazy.
"And if I win?" Kai asked, trying not to sound hopeful.
"That's for you to decide." She answered.
"I'll think about it during the battle." He said grabbing his launcher and blade.
"You do that, but I'll be looking forward to that kiss." She winked and stuck her tongue out.
Everyone gathered round, getting a good seat to watch the battle that would soon commence. Hilary grabbed her blade from her pocket and smiled as Kenny gasped and typed away on his laptop.
"Slow down chief, my keys can only handle so much pressure." Dizzi said from inside the laptop.
"Sorry, but I've never seen a blade like that before." Kenny gawped.
"I have to agree chief, with all the people I battled, I've never seen a blade such as that…" Rei sighed.
"Whys her blade so special Chief?" Tyson asked getting up from the floor.
"Her blade isn't normal… It looks like one that some legendary bladers used centuries back… see how the attack ring is sharp blades pointing out… They were said to have been made by shurikens so sharp they could tear anything apart. The metal they're made out of is also so strong that they can't break, they just take scratches if hit." Kenny said.
"What are you trying to get across Kenny?" Max asked.
"Kai may struggle with this bey battle." Chief insisted.
"Uh Oh" Max, Rei and Tyson gawped.
"Well that blade looks decent." Kai said with a smirk.
"Oh, you bet it does." Hilary replied, tilting her head to the side a smiling.
'Lord, I wish she wouldn't do that… it makes her look too cute and innocent. Yes Dranzer, I said it makes her look cute.'
'You like her Master, what are you going to bet?'
'Never have you minded.'
'Just tell me this one thing truthfully, and I shall do my best in battle.'
'You'll do the best you can anyway, but I suppose one truthful answer won't hurt.'
'Master Kai, do you like Mistress Hilary?'
'No Dranzer, I've told you time after time, I don't like Hilary…'
'Oh…'
'I don't like her, because I love her, and I'd do anything she asked me. If she got hurt I would hurt whoever did it, or destroy whatever caused her the pain. If getting to finally kiss her means losing this battle then so be it. When Im around her, it's like all my emotions appear for her and only her. If her pulse stops, I'll be there by her side, shed a tear if I need to, and beg her to come back to me.'
"Come on Kai, you ready?" Hilary asked as she placed her blade in the black launcher.
"Hn." Kai replied, they both got into a stance and prepared for the battle that would happen any second.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"LET IT RIP!" They shouted, the rip cords and launchers separated, one in either hand. The blades went into the dish and Areviarian just circled round the dish.
"What are you doing? Attack already." Hilary said, her narrowed eyes focused on Kai, whose eyes were following the blade spin around the dish.
"Dranzer attack!" He exclaimed. Everyone watched as Dranzer made a dash to the side of the arena, but gasped as they saw Areviarian leap over it. Hilary smirked.
"Areviarian Lightning Penetration!" She yelled, then smirking as her bit-beast appeared from the glowing black light in the middle of the blade. Areviarian cried and flew into the air, the blade copying the beast's movement and jumped into the air. It continued to spin and bolts of lightning shot from the blades pointed attack ring.
"Dranzer dodge them!" Kay Yelled.
"Kai, it's no use, no matter where you go, Dranzer's going to get hit. Lightning Penetration is a special move, unbeknownst to many. It automatically releases the blades bit-beast, and once that's happened, the beast locks target onto your blade and follows its every move. And since it's locked on, your blade has nowhere to go; it's just going to get hit." Kenny said.
"So what you're trying to say is that this battles already nearly over?" Rei asked.
"You could say that." Hilary smirked as her blade made contact with the dish once again.
Kenny gasped, "You wouldn't."
"Oh trust me, life's full of surprises." Hilary giggled.
"DRANZER!" Kai yelled. After the yell, the middle of his blue blade shone red, and the mighty phoenix appeared. With a cry, Dranzer and Areviarian were attacking each other furiously.
"Areviarian attack!" Hilary said with a bright smile. The red blade suddenly disappeared. A few gasps later the blade reappeared and went with incredible towards Dranzer.
"Dranzer evade!" The dual-haired captain yelled.
"Ah ah ah, Kai." Hilary smiled wickedly, wagging her finger.
"Save the finger wagging Hilary, get on with the battle, because it's going to slow for my liking." Kai snarled as she laughed at him.
"Aw, poor Kai… you're just angry at the fact that you're going to have to kiss me. Don't worry; you won't get a response… that is if you don't want one." She winked and smiled at him.
"Save the talk for after I win." He smirked; his attitude was for once getting on Hilary's nerves. Tyson was cheering for Kai in the background, winding Hilary up even more, but she focused on the slate haired in front of her. The cheers got louder, Hilary got angrier.
"Shut it, Hiwatari!" She snapped, he continued to smirk and she just got madder, to the point where she would be able to do some serious damage to Kai's blade.
"She's getting too angry for her own good… and if she uses Metal Light of Destruction while shes this annoyed… well one of them will be a goner for sure." Kenny said panicky, staring at the two blades in the arena, and their masters plastered with cuts.
"My dear Kenny, that explanation shows you know little about this attack." Hilary laughed.
'Mistress Hilary, what is going on with you, you seem to angry… please don't tell me you're going to use what I think you are…'
'Sorry Areviarian but im going to have to, yeah I'll get seriously injured, but if it means winning against the great Kai Hiwatari, then so be it.'
'But Mistress, the last time anyone made that attack, they suffered many severe injuries, and one time before that there was a death by it… this attack could separate you from the world for ever, Mistress-'
"Let's finish this Areviarian; now Metall Svet Razrusheniya!" She yelled. Kenny gasped as did Tyson, Rei and Max. Rei noticed a big light forming around the two blades.
"Everyone get down!" Rei yelled; all the kids that were sat on the swings and everything ran out the gate and across the road still looking at the battle. Rei and Max ran behind two huge trees, Kenny and Tyson did the imaginable and jumped in a bush.
Kai and Hilary stood ground, scowling each other. Kai looked at the blades and noticed the light had grown bigger. He had prepared for the impact; he crossed his arms over his face and transferred some of his energy to Dranzer so she wouldn't break, but kept enough energy in himself so he wouldn't get to hurt from the attack. The light grew bigger and bigger, until it spread to a size that just about reached behind Hilary and Kai. The light made a sort of explosion and everything was forced and a huge wind blew, blowing the two bladers back. Kai mustered up enough strength to only slide back a few feet, while Hilary got the full blow and was thrown into a tree quite a few yards back.
When the light explosion finally ended, it turned into a black fog that took round about 5-10 minutes to subside. Rei poked his head around one side of the tree to see the outcome, and Max poked his head round the opposite to do the same. Tyson's head popped out of the bush, with twigs and leaves in off placed in his hair. Kenny fell back and stood up a moment later, fixing his glasses on his head.
"What the heck was that?" Tyson yelled annoyed, whilst taking out the remaining leaves and twigs in his head. A groan came from where Kai was, Rei and Max ran and helped their team captain that had fallen over in the last second of the blast.
"Whe-Wheres Hilary?" Kai asked holding his head as whipped the blood from his mouth.
