The green haired boy lay in the alleyway, his breathing labored. It hurt to to breathe with each breath.
Kyoya Tategami. The Beyblader for Leone. One of the Legendary Ten. The most feared boy in the group.
Except... Now... He was bloodied and bruised, laying on the pavement. It hurt to move.
There was no doubt that he had some broken ribs. That was determined when he took in each and every breath.
He knew he had broken ankle and a possibly shattered wrist. He knew from the pounding in his head that had he had a concussion.
His cell rang. He winced as he reached for it with his good arm.
He didn't hide the pain in his voice as he answered.
"What?" It was hardly above a whisper.
"I've called you a thousand times! Where- Wait a second. What's wrong?" Gingka's voice came loud and clear through the speakers.
"I- I got jumped."
Silence. "Madoka's working on your position. We'll be there as soon as we can."
The line went dead.
Nearly an hour later, Ginkga, Yuki, Madoka, Benkei, Kenta, Chris, Aguma, King, and Tithi were standing at the window to Kyoya's hospital room.
"Who did this to Master Kyoya?" Benkei asked, his voice meek.
"Some gang, was all I was able to get out of him. But did you hear the nurse when she told us his injuries?" Madoka asked, her face neutral, but eyes shining with worry.
"Broken ribs, concusion, shattered ankle, broken wrist, internal bleeding... When I find out who did this, I'm not even gonna hold back! I'll unleash Pegasus to his his potential!" Ginkga exclaimed, looking at the still form of his friend. He frowned, thinking about something.
"Madoka, can you pull up any video footage in the alleyway?"
"The Black Panthers. One of the most norturious gang members, most hated rival to The Face Hunters." Madoka paused from her reading. "They must've recongized Kyoya and assumed he was still part of the gang!"
"Or they knew about the gang disbanding and decided to attack him out of pure anger and hatred." Benkei sighed.
"Come on boys." Gingka said, walking down the hall to the elevator. "Madoka, you and Tithi stay here in case Kyoya wakes up."
"Right." Madoka nodded.
"Of course! I know I may not like him, but Kyoya is hurt and I'll be here when he wakes up!" Tithi said.
"Let's go guys." Gingka said, walking out the door with the others trailing behind him.
Kyoya groaned, his head slamming with pain. "Ow..."
"Kyoya?" A voice asked. Kyoya's eyes flew open, adjusting to the darkened room.
"Madoka? Where- Ah!- am I?" Kyoya got out between gritted teeth.
"Hospital. Where the good people will take of you!" Tithi's voice piped up. His shadow climbed up on the side of the bed, his eyes looking down upon the hurt boy.
Kyoya shot up in bed, ignoring the heart monitor beeping wildly at his panic, the protests of his two friends, and the pain erupting in his body.
"Hospital?! Get me out of here!" Kyoya hissed, his eyes going wild at the same time he was having a half consious flashback.
"We can't Kyoya. I'm sorry! But hey, uh... The guys all went after the Black Panthers- Revenge mission I think." Madoka laughed, uncomfortable.
At the word 'revenge' Kyoya relaxed and layed back down. He growled and winced in pain as he did so.
"Tithi, stay with Kyoya while I go get a nurse." Madoka told the little boy.
"Not a problem!" Tithi smiled. When Madoka left he turned to Kyoya, his head turned to the side.
"Not a problem, huh kid? I thought you hated me." Kyoya smirked lightly.
"This... thing... has changed my way I see you. I thought all you were cold and bad, couldn't be beaten. But after you were attacked and I saw you... hurt and in pain... I thought to myself, 'Maybe there's more than to what meets the eye.' So... yeah." Tithi murmured.
Kyoya listened to the boy's words, frowning. His eyes were closed.
"You're right kid. There is more to my story than what meets the eye... Even I don't know the full of it." Kyoya sighed, wincing when the pain in his ribs erupted into a fire at the action.
"Kyoya, I got some pain reliever pills and water for you. Take 'em and they ought to help." Madoka said, quietly entering the room so as not to cause his head anymore pain.
"Thanks." Kyoya muttered, gratefully swallowing the meds.
"Go back to sleep. The others will be here when you wake up." Tithi yipped.
"And they ran like hell man. I don't even think they looked back!" Gingka was just finishing the story of how he and the guys had defeated the Black Panthers.
"Sounds like what they'd do. They'll lie low with their tails between their legs before they come back up." Kyoya grinned.
"Oh, Kyoya! I have a surprise for you!" Benkei said gleefully, running in.
"Kyoya!" A girl with pale skin, black hair with dark green streaks in it, green eyes, and dark clothes rushed in. Kyoya's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this girl.
The girl enveloped him in a hug, saying, "I was so worried about you when I heard the news! Are you okay?"
"Kurai Ippiki Tenshi Shi. What are you doing here?" Kyoya asked.
"Am I not allowed to see how my cousin is doing?" The girl asked, eyes shining with worry.
Kurai means 'darkness'
Ippiki means 'lone wolf'
Tenshi Shi means 'angel of death'
Put all of these things together, you already know what my OC character is gonna be like
