{PART ONE: It's a joke, RIGHT?}

The door flew open gently as the 25 years old brunette girl step inside the room. She placed her car key at the study table and throws herself at her bed. Loud sighs comes out from her mouth. She felt her head became heavier than usual. Hiromi Tachibana very sure that she hadn't done anything that dries all her energy out. She tries to figure out what had really be the main cause that turn her into like this, and then it hit her. Yes, that's it! HE was the one who made her like this! What had come out from his mouth, that news, had been bugging her and making her head felt like it was about to explode at any moment. Why he had to tell her something that ruined her day? Can't he wait for another time to tell her? He didn't have any proof for what he says...

(Flashback starts)

No scientist had found the answer, and yet no researches can really explain the situation that Hiromi was facing with. But, like she had just finished drank 15 cups of strong coffee in a second, somehow Hiromi felt her energy rise up to it's maximum level as she roams the street. All the supermarket, shops, mall and stores at the city right now were having some sort of sales. A good news to the girls who are shopaholic, but it's actually a nightmare to the boys...Like a miracle just came upon all the females; they didn't show any signs of a total exhaustion even though they had been walking for hours and hours.

As Hiromi's eyes were scanning and staring at her surrounding, she immediately spotted a familiar figure standing not far from her. Her eyes twitched, but she shook her head not long after that, trying to shake the 'what is he doing at this kind of place' thought off from her mind. It doesn't take long for Hiromi to decide whether she should greet him or not. Her feet start to move towards the person.

"Um...Kai?" says Hiromi "What are you doing here?"

Kai, who looks like he was searching for someone, turns at Hiromi's direction. Shock flashes through his face, but disappear after a second when he realize that the voice came from her. He can felt the suspicious feeling running through Hiromi's mind, but Kai was grateful that he didn't have to keep looking for her any longer.

"I was looking for you..." answers Kai coldly.

Once again, Hiromi's eyes twitched. "Looking for me...?" she asks "...why?"

Kai let out a loud sigh, which is very rare to see him doing that in front of anybody, especially in front of Hiromi.

"I had to tell you something..."said he "...a very important thing that will change your thought about Takao."

(Flashback pause)

Hiromi let out a loud sigh, again. She changes her position and sat at the end of her bed. Hiromi throws her gaze at the window in her room. What come next was the one that sort of destroyed her mood...But, is it true?

(Flashback continues)

"W-what...?"

Shock flashes through her face, her eyes grew big and her face turns pale. Hiromi just stared at Kai, disbelieve on what he had told her.

"Guess I shouldn't tell you that..." exclaim Kai..

Suddenly, Hiromi start to laughing, but in a very strange way. It was Kai's turn to twitch his eyes, confuse of Hiromi's sudden expression.

"I get it!" Hiromi said in her laugh. "You're just fooling around!"

"Hiromi, it's-"

"It's a joke, RIGHT?"

"Listen, I'm not joking."

"HOW COME SOMEONE WHO SAVED ME AND TOLD ME THE REASON HE DO THAT BECAUSE HE LOVE ME, CHEATED!" Hiromi yelled angrily.

Kai stunned. Hilary glares at Kai, waiting for what he will say next. But, the longer she stares Kai's face, it became harder to not let her cries out. Hiromi turn her back to Kai and ran away, ignoring the blue-haired beyblader shouting her name and telling her to wait. Tears start to fall from her eyes...

(Flashback ends)

Hiromi stands up and walks towards the window. Night had finally taken over the world, and Hilary starts to yawn. She was about to lay down to her bed when her mobile phone let out a short ring. Hiromi took her phone; there was an incoming message from...Kai? For a while, Hiromi didn't have the strength to open the message. Slowly, she clicks the 'Open' button and read the message:

'Sorry. Didn't mean to hurt you.

Forget about what I told you,

It's just...something stupid...

-Kai.'

A weak smile appears at Hiromi's face. At least, this could make her happy a little bit. Hiromi reply the message with a simple 'its okay...' and put her mobile phone at table. She pull up her blanket and stares at the top of her room. Too many things happened today, she needs a rest. After a while, the brunette falls asleep.

[This is my first beyblade fanfiction, so sorry if it's kind of boring and there are heck lots of grammars mistakes whatsoever inside. I'm not fluent in English. It's bad, isn't it? Well, let me hear what you think about this okay? And this is not the end of it; more upcoming chapters will be post but please be patient as the chapter will be mostly updated late.]
