Title: To A New Beginning
Chapter: 1. Changing for something…
Completed chapter one: 11/9/06
Disclaimer:I don't own Beyblade, I don't beyblade, I don't even own a beyblade…sighs
Guide: This story starts almost a year after the last BBA tournament (Beyblade G-Rev) The setting at the beginning of the story is in a park, with no people around, late afternoon. And the italic words are words of a character speaking in hi/her thoughts (just to make things clear)
"Why…why are you quitting!?!" Hiro shouted, his hands clenched so firmly for he was so angry for what his little brother has just said.
"because I want to…" Takao answered showing no emotion.
Then, with that response Hiro was so angry, he couldn't take it anymore. He rapidly moves towards Takao, gripping the boy's collar, and shouting right at his face "What about all of those years that you have work for?! I've seen you beyblade when you were still a kid… and those eyes… the determination… the beyblading spirit…"
Then suddenly, he stop with a look at Takao's eyes. His eyes, not looking anywhere but straight to Hiro, so cold yet not gloomy. Those dark blue eyes used to be the like the evening sky filled with many stars shining with determination and pride but now… it's just a dark blue abyss filled with nothingness.
I guess…he's not really interested anymore…
Then, Hiro's hand let loose from the boy's collar, sank down to his knees like a beyblader who has just lost a very important match.
Takao, not knowing if he should help his brother up or not, but then, he remembered that he was so angry to his brother, from all that he had done, for all that he had said and for being the way he is… an obsessed beyblader.
I don't want to be like you, brother.
He decided not to help Hiro anymore, and just go on, go back home.
"I'm sorry", Takao whispered as he walked away from his brother.
"Wait!!!" Hiro shouted while still kneeling."Before you leave, give me one valid excuse for giving it up". Hiro looked as if he was begging, begging for something that he had lost.
Takao stopped without looking back and said "I guess, I have changed... I believe that I can't beyblade forever. I have to face the world outside beyblading, grampa, my friends, school, and someday I'll have to work and have a family of my own. I also have dreams outside of beyblade, brother." then with a smile." Don't worry brother, I'll never forget all the things that had happened in beyblade, the matches, my friends that I have met along the way, Kai, Max, Rei and the others, and I will never forget my beyblade, Dragoon."
Then, with all the explanation, he ends with a sigh, "I think it's valid enough". Then, he walked away, just like the wind at sunset, calm, silent and lonely.
Hiro was left all alone, he stood up as he stare at Takao leaving, seeing that he's not wearing the cap that he gave when he was still a young boy.
He's maybe leaving forever...
Why… I thought a boy like him could beyblade forever, I have high hopes for him, almost everybody looks up to him, what if the others find out, would they be in shock for he is not interested in beyblading anymore, or in panic for they have lost the champion of beyblade, or will he just be like the other ordinary bladders that just come and go without people noticing it. Arrghh!!! I don't know what to do any more, I don't know what to think…wait a minute!!
A flash of Takao's last word…and I will never forget my beyblade, Dragoon…
What!! Did he just…
oo
Walking fast as night comes to haunt with its darkness, Takao was almost crying as he remembers all the things he had said to his brother,
I'm such a good liar…that wasn't the reason why I quit. The reason why I've quit is because of you, YOU STUPID BROTHER!!!
Then a flashback comes to his head,
Takao's was going to the BBA office because he was just so happy about all the improvements in the beyblading world, the newest and coolest blades have just been made, a new beyblade stadium was also under construction getting ready for the 4th BBA tournament, and no more anomalies have been experienced after the BEGA incident.
And also, he wanted to great the Chairman Daijubou if he's fine.
Before he entered the room, he heard the chairman was speaking to somebody, he tried to take a peak from the door to see who he was, It's coach Hiro!!! Is he going to be coach again?! Takao was so excited to think his brother is going to be their coach again. He has already forgiven him even when he became coach, siding for the enemies. Now I'm getting more excited for the tournament!
Arggh! Damn! I can't hear a word they're saying! Oh come on! They're finish already?!
Hiro was already leaving the room, "Wait!" Mr Daijubou said, "I wanted to ask something."
Thank goodness chairman halted him, I would have caught eavesdropping by brother, maybe I should scram, but then…
"Sorry but I'm just curious, did you also think that Takao would win over Brooklyn during the final match?"
"No", Hiro answered coldy.
Takao was shocked, he's eyes wide open for what his brother have just said, his chest hurting,
You didn't believe that I would win?! But why?! I thought you were only rooting for the other team to make me strong, but then…
Why did I even trust you?! You left grampa and me a long time ago just for beyblade! you wanted to fight and make me fall to the ground! And you don't even have the guts to come to our house! And now, I know the reason why you did all of that, because you're obsessed with beyblade!!! And you wanted to have the best beyblader be your pupil and be by your side!
At first you thought that I was the best blader around that's why you came back and tried to coach me. But then you saw Brooklyn, who was way talented than I ever was. And you wanted him, no, you wanted him to be yours alone, and you two will be legends in the beyblading world.
YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!
Tears starts to flow from his eyes, but his eyes was not filled with sadness, but with anger. In his mind he wanted to bust in and just smack his brother and send him flying to the ground, but his body, it wont budge, it just stayed put, feeling weak and helpless from all the things in his mind…
"But why?" asked Mr. Daijubou, trying to restrain his anger.
"I guess I just thought I have seen the best beyblader in the world, even if he has evil inside of him. At first, I was very confident that he will defeat Takao, and I am still now. If only Brooklyn was emotionally stable with less pride and more determination back then, he could have easily won…"
"Stop!!!" the chairman shouted but not with anger, but with despair. He never thought that Takao's brother would be so cruel and so selfish. "You, can leave now." If wasn't for Takao, we would be all be finished back there.
"Sorry to offend, but it was just saying my opinion.",Hiro apologized.
"You have proven your point, Our meeting is done anyway, you may now leave." said the Chairman not looking to Hiro.
Hiro didn't dare to speak, and headed to the door, and opened. He tried to look at the hallways, but saw nothing. I though somebody spying on us, I guess not.
oo
He ran as fast so that he could not to get caught, feeling with hatred, and also with defeat.
Why am I running away! I'm not afraid of him! But…
oo (back to reality, where he just said he'd quit)
I quit because I don't want to see you, to even think of you! And beyblading makes me connect with! That's why…
What! Why am I running around the neghborhood!? There's nothing to run from! And why are tears still flowing from my eyes?! I don't know, but I feel better doing this than think of anything else, just run away from everything…
Honestly…I never wanted to quit.
Then suddenly, a shadow appeared and bumped straight to it.
"OUUUCHHH!!!" shouted by two voices.
" Hey!! Watch where you're- Takao!?!"
"Hiromi!?! Where are you going at a time like?!" asked Takao.
"What 'bout you? What are you do- hey, are you crying? Hiromi looking concerned.
"Of course not!" Takao quickly rubbing his eyes, " My eyes just hurts!". Then he helped Hiromi to stand up. Then both started to walk to his dojo.
"Yeh right, well anyway, I am going to your place!" Hiromi said gaily.
"To make our lives miserable?" Takao teasing Hiromi.
"WHAT DID YOU SAAAID???" Hiromi's eyes burning, and her fist ready to punch.
"Haha… Did I said anything? Oh, I was just asking why you're going to my place" Takao, shaking, scared of being punched.
"Oh yeh, since your grampa is out, no one would cook for you two, and I know you only know how to cook rice and instant noodles, so I decided to drop by to give you real food,… since I'm such a good friend" Hiromi said proudly.
"I'm home alone, Daichi's with Max again. Yeh, I've noticed you've brought- You've cut your hair! Waaay shorter!" Takao shocked with Hiromi's new hair do.
"You like it?! I noticed that short hair for women is in today. And also, I wanted to change my look." said Hiromi with a smile.
You look like a boy…
"YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Hiromi send her fist flying straight to Takao's face and send him flying flat on the ground.
PAAACKK!!! KABLOOGG!!!
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU HEAR THAT!!!" Takao shouted his face still on the ground.
"HMPF!!!" Hiromi snobbed and continued to walk.
Takao stood up and said,"You're really are a --- " Hiromi glares Takao,"--aaa, nothing!". Takao scared for another hit on the face.
Then they continued to walk home.
My face hurts but I feel much better than before. I guess I'm not going to be alone after all. I'm glad.
Thank you…
