lugiamania: Hey everyone! As you can see, I'm writing my first Beyblade ficcy-
Bit: Duh!
lugiamania: HEY! What are you doing here?!
Bit: N-nothing *hides a jar of cookies behind his back*
lugiamania: Oh really? *raises an eyebrow, but does nothing* Well, anyways, this doesn't concern you, so go away.
Bit: *pouts* Ouch, that really hurt!
lugiamania: I'm sure it did, now scoot! *pushes Bit away* Now, as I was saying, before I got so rudely interrupted *glares at Bit* I got this idea from some pictures that I found on the web. I know the artist also wrote a story, but I can't read it, so I decided to make a story based on the pictures I saw. The URL is http://www.geocities.co.jp/AnimeComic-Pastel/1352/f.b-top.htm in case you were wondering. I'm sorry if the plot is the same, I didn't mean it. Now, onto the disclaimer!
Ray: *whispers* Is it my line yet? Oh really?! Oh! *clears throat* Alright, lugiamania does NOT, I repeat, does NOT own Beyblade, so do NOT sue her. She owns the story line, but she got the idea from the URL above, so in a way, she doesn't really own it but it's not like she really doesn't own it, but- *looks down at the 7 feet long sheet filled with pointless explanations* @_@ Do I have to read all of that?!
lugiamania: Nah, just forget it. *snatches paper away and throws it into the fireplace* Anyways, before we begin, I'd like to thank fellow authoress celebistar* for her help. Also, I will be putting in Hiromi, from Beyblade 2002 in this fic. I don't know anything about her, except that she's a friend of Tyson's, so don't blame me if I get her a little OOC. With that said, read on!
Sepia no Hi (Sepia Colored Days)
It had been a couple of years since the Bladebreakers were in the world championships. At first, it seemed that the fun would never end, but still, all things must come to a close. The Bladebreakers still kept in regular contact with each other, even Kai, although a little less than the others. Ray went back to Hong Kong, and the rest of the gang went back to their respective homes in Japan. Though they missed Beyblading at first they soon fell back into the rhythm of a normal lifestyle. Well, maybe except for one thing...
Tyson! Would you hurry it up?
Sometime before we turn fifty would be nice!
Kenny and Max were standing outside Tyson's door, yelling at him to hurry up. Just then a loud crash was heard, and both boys turned their heads and sighed.
Alright, alright, I'm here! Tyson finally dashed to the door clutching his school bag, shoved full of papers. The blue jacket and of his uniform was wrinkled and unbuttoned, a sure sign he had slept in them. Yelling a quick, to his grandpa, he shoved his friends through the gate and started sprinting towards school.
Hey Tyson! Wait up! Max shouted, trying to catch up to his friend.
Yeah Tyson, not all people are as fast as you! Kenny panted, barely able to catch his breath.
Sorry guys, guess I overslept again, huh? Tyson grinned sheepishly when his friends caught up to him.
What do you mean, again'?! You've practically overslept for the past 2 years! Kenny shouted. Tyson was amazed that Kenny could shout so loud for a little kid. Sure he had gotten a growth spurt, but he was still the shortest kid in the class.
Whoa Chief, take it easy! I was just joking! Tyson said, laughing nervously. Quietly though, he asked Max, Hey, what up with Chief today?
Don't worry about it. He's just stressing over that history exam we have today. He's trying to keep an A average. Max replied, feeling very proud of himself for studying when Tyson suddenly panicked.
Ack! I forgot all about it! I'm gonna flunk for sure! Now my grandpa's gonna ground me forever! I won't be able to Beyblade, or talk to you guys or-
Just chill Tyson, we'll help you study at lunch. Max reassured his best friend.
Yeah, like we do with every test Ms. Keiko gives us. Kenny said sarcastically.
Tyson laughed nervously. Just as he was about to defend his pride, they heard the school bell ringing, loud and clear.
ON NO! They all looked at each other, then started running.
---------------------------
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! Kai Hiwatari stuck his hand out of the covers, searching for the source of the shrill beep. After locating it, he grabbed it and threw it to the far wall. A loud bang was heard, and the beeping stopped. He then shifted around, groaned, and stuck his head under his pillow, hoping to get a couple of more minutes of sleep. He was just about to drift off to dreamland before a sharp knock was heard at his door.
Kai! get up or you'll be late for school! Kai!
I'm up already! Sheesh. He silently muttered under his breath. He heard his aunt's footsteps slowly fade away as she went to prepare breakfast. Kai was tempted to just burrow under the covers and go back to sleep, but he knew he'd get a never-ending lecture if he did. Instead, he shoved the covers back, got dressed, buttoning his white shirt and pulling his green uniform pants up, and walked toward the bathroom.
Kai was just about to open the door when he heard his aunt's voice again.
Kai Hiwatari! Do you want me to come in there? his aunt's voice now had a hint of exasperation in it.
he yelled, quickly grabbing his jacket and headed toward the kitchen, where his aunt was waiting with his breakfast.
Better eat fast, or else you're going to be late. she said as she set his plate in front of him.
I'll make it. Kai muttered with a hint of annoyance in his voice before picking up his fork and stabbing it at his eggs.
His aunt seemed to notice, for her expression softened a bit.
Sorry, I was just worried about you being late.
Kai didn't say anything, but he seemed to take it in. He gulped down the last of his orange juice, grabbed his school bag, and started heading out the door.
Have a nice day. his aunt said before kissing his cheek and letting him out the door.
Kai resisted the urge to wipe his cheek and muttering a he slung his school bag over his shoulder and headed in the direction of the high school.
----------------------------
Bye mom! I'll be home a little late today! Ray called over his shoulder as he closed the gate of his house behind him. He tugged at the high collar of his navy blue school uniform as he waited for Mariah, Lee, Gary, and Kevin. He looked down and noticed that he'd forgot to button one of the buttons on his uniform. Just as he finished, his friends came running up, panting a bit.
Hi Ray! Mariah greeted him cheerfully, her blue skirt flouncing a little as she gave a little jump. Mariah was always cheerful in the morning.
Sorry we're late, but we had to wait for a certain person to find his school bag and his homework. Lee apologized, while glaring at Kevin, who suddenly found the ground very interesting.
It's alright. I just got here anyway. Come on, or we'll be late. He said, picking up his school bag and putting it over one shoulder.
So, you guys all ready for those progress reports today? Mariah asked the group as they trooped toward school.
I'm not worried, I got good grades on all my assignments and tests. Ray informed the group while Lee nodded also.
Me too. They weren't all that hard. He complimented.
I'm not so sure, some of my tests weren't all that great. Gary worried, as flashes of various punishments passed in his mind.
Don't worry, I'm sure you did okay. Mariah reassured her friend.
All I know is that if I don't get at least a C average, I'm gonna be dead. And I have a feeling that I will be. Kevin said, with a worried look on his face.
Maybe if you had studied like the rest of us instead of climbing trees acting like a monkey your grades wouldn't have been so bad. Mariah accused.
I did, well sorta... Kevin just let it hang. He knew Mariah was right. It wasn't his fault if he wasn't the best student.
Come on guys, cut him some slack. I'm sure you didn't do too badly, Kevin. Ray told Kevin.
I sure hope so.
Don't think about it, or you're not gonna be able to concentrate in class the whole day. Ray advised, while taking a quick glance at Mariah's watch.
Whoa, we'd better pick up the pace. It's already 8:05. he warned the group as he started to walk a little bit faster.
What's the point? It's just bringing us closer to that hellhole. Lee complained.
Hey, mind your language Lee! Mariah scolded.
Guys, cut it out, would you? Gary complained, annoyed.
What do you mean by that? I was just correcting his language.
What? is there something wrong about it?
Ray sighed, this was gonna be a looong day.
lugiamania: Alrighty! My first chapter! Anyways, just in case you're a little confused, they're all in high school, which is why they all wear uniforms. Anyways, the title of this fic, Sepia no Hi, is the title of a song that was coupled with Tooi Kono Machi De.
Bit: Not bad, not bad at all.
lugiamania: Hey! What are you still doing here?!
Bit: EEP! Gotta go! @_@
lugiamania: Grr, I'll get you yet Bit Cloud! Anyways, please review!
*chases after Bit with a giant sword*
Beyblade gang: *sighs and sweatdrops*
