Hey everyone, sorry for the wait, I know I said I'd update sooner heck I'd thought that update the night MUN got over but I found out that the day I was absent the teacher gave a test and I hadn't even read the chapter so I had to prepare for that, then went to school, the teacher didn't even take the test, realize friends are horrible because 3 of my friends pulled a really horrible prank on me and my parents even got involved and I even got sick of tension because I didn't know what was happening was a joke, my parents got so worried. I learnt a lesson that friends are worthless though not all some are great like my few friend who helped through the 5 day mess, I love you guys and the head of my committee at MUN. I was in committee 4 and the girl from our school who was committee 4's head from our school, she really helped me a lot and I really enjoyed though got really tired since I used to get up at 6 in the morning and used to get home at 10 at night. She was really great all through the practice sessions she had been saying I'll be your worst opponent but she helped a lot whenever I gave a speech and had to answer points of information she's always raised her plakar (sp? The thing which has the country name on it?) and ask me a really easy question, I'm glad she became the best delegate, she was awesome, there was one guy part of the head table he actually saluted her and the when after the conference 4 of us were having fries and coffee the president and secretary general came up to our table, the sec general told her that she was awesome and the president he congratulated her. The four of us used to go in my car me, my friend who helped me and two others who were in committee 1, all 3 days I picked the m up and dropped them. We really enjoyed a lot. on the last day my dad picked us up and we all fell asleep, one of my friend was asleep in my lap (thank God she didn't drool! lol) another, my friend who helped me on her back and me and the 4th friend were leaning against the car door. After the joke mess got cleared, I had a lot of tests and got busy and a lot of competitions then exams. Physics went horrible. I found out I got the highest in Chemistry from a friends whose a freshmen she was doing the totaling for the chem teacher, wohoooo! I slept for maximum 2 and a half hours and minimum half an hour during exams. That's the reason for the late update. Now the exams are over and I'm free and on spring break, so here's the next update. Sorry for the OOCness if any, any sappiness, bad grammar or spelling. Now enough with my ramblings.
Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade or I wouldn't be worrying about my exams and result. =P
Now without further delay, on with the fic.
Now you people shall read and I shall go and eat ice cream! =D
Runaway Hilary!
Drenched Kitty!
Normal Pov (In China, the home of the White Tiger X team):
It had been raining for days dark clouds covered the sky as far as the eye could see. The booming sound of thunder could be heard all throughout the White Tiger Hills. Lightning kept striking and the skies fury could easily be felt. There was no electricity, since all the electric poles and wires had been damaged by the intense and violent storm, thus there being no means of illumination for the dark night. A young girl, probably in her teens could be seen getting out of a cab, asking the driver if he could please drive her any further only to be refused by him and to be told that she could she reach her destination by a 20 minute walk.
The girl walked in the cold freezing down pour towards the house of the White Tiger team. She felt sad, she felt alone and most importantly she felt scared, lightning and thunder had never been something she was very fond of and walking alone on the streets with no one in sight wasn't helping her feel any better. She was also thinking about her team, her X team to be more appropriate. She felt tears trickling down her face and mixing with the rain water but she told herself that she had to forget about them and she'd have to start life without them but everything seemed to remind her of them especially of him.
At last she saw the house of her old friends and she felt some relief, she sprinted towards the door as if it was her last life line. She knocked a couple of times but no one answered the door, she could only hear some muffled murmuring. At last not having the strength to stand anymore after running for 20 minutes in the stormy night just after going through a 2 and a half hour plain trip and a two hour cab ride from the airport to the White Tiger Village, she knocked one last time, then fed up, she took a pin out of her completely drenched and tangled hair and started picking the lock. She was thankful to the fact that Ian had pestered her into learning how to pick locks with pins as it was according to him an essential skill which everyone should be aware of and now she was beginning to agree with him. If she didn't know how to crack open the lock she might have had to stand here all night and she made a mental note to thank the twerpy Blitzkrieg boy. She entered the room only to be greeted by 4 extremely earsplitting shrieks.
Mariah's Pov:
OK, its official I don't know who's more harebrained , Kevin for suggesting we tell ghost stories on a stormy night like this or Lee, Gary and I for agreeing with him.
The green haired idiot was holding a torch in front of his face and telling something about a little girl who was alone in the house with no one else and there was no electricity. He crept close to me and said, "Mariah, imagine, imagine you are that girl. Imagine, that you're hearing strange noises outside the door, imagine someone is calling your name…"
"Cut it out, Kevin, this is so not funny!" I said to him.
"This might not be funny but that definitely is!" He said pointing to Gary who was cowering in a corner and shaking repeatedly, murmuring, "This is not real, this is not real."
Mariah shook her head, "You're an idiot, Kevin."
"Forget about him, now back to the story, the girl was all alone, no one to hear her screams, then, she suddenly heard someone knock on the do….."
There was suddenly a knock at the door.
"That was rude, Mariah, I'm telling the story, I'm the one who's supposed to make the sounds, not you, stop with the knocking!" He said majorly pissed. But I wasn't the one who had knocked heck I was about to ask him to stop, cause he was freaking me out, so I told him.
"Kevin, I thought you were the one who knocked I swear, I didn't!"
"Wait, you're kidding, you didn't, was it you, Lee" He asked, pointing towards my majorly annoyed brother, who was really not into this whole story telling idea.
"No, Kevin, I don't do stupid stuff like that, that's yours, Mariah's and Gary's category," Lee said, calmly.
"Hey, I'm offended."
He gave me a 'I don't care look', which reminded me of Kai and got me thinking of the bladebreakers wondering what they were up to not knowing I'd soon find out.
"Wait, if it wasn't me, it wasn't you two," he said, pointing at the two of us. "And it surely wasn't him," he continued, "Then, who….."
"A ghost!" Yelled Gary, and began to hug Lee, who was trying to get him of him.
"Get off me, you idiot, there are no such things as ghosts, they don't exist. Now get off of me!"
"Open the door!" Came a ghostly, anguished voice as if the ghost who was speaking had been tortured for an eternity.
Then, I yelled, actually we all yelled, it might have been a ghost when bitbeasts can exist, why couldn't ghosts exist, I blamed this on Kevin.
"Guys, let's just relax, I'm sure it's just the wind!" Lee was trying to be reassuring and damn was he being annoying.
"Wind doesn't say coherent words." I argued.
He glared at me.
Then there was another 'Open the God damned door!' sound and this time even Lee's face seemed a bit apprehensive.
"We're all gonna die!" Gary yelled, hugging his feet and shaking back and forth.
"It's probably a robber and can you guys please keep it down so he doesn't hear us!"
"And that's so much better than a ghost and why 'he' it could be a girl robber." I whisper-yelled, right in his face.
"Well at least if it's a thief, he won't try to kill us." Kevin butted in.
"Fine, so she doesn't hear us, happy, now shut up, so we can actually hear what's going on outside!"
"You know, how are you so sure that the ghost will want to kill us, he might be a friendly ghost." Gary said, moving close to Kevin and almost crushing him against the wall.
Lee glared at him and Kevin and I told him to shut up concurrently.
"Ok, whomever, it is as soon as he enters, don't yell, just stay calm!"
"Easier said than done, dear brother!" I muttered
Unfortunately he heard me, "Is it necessary to judge everything I say?"
"What'd be the fun if I didn't?"
"Shut up, kiddo"
I stuck my tongue out at him. I was wishing that Tao was here but then I thought he'd only be confusing us with his Oh so wise sayings.
Then there was this weird noise as if someone was picking the lock and I could see from the dim light of the flashlight that Gary had almost flattened Kevin against the wall, then we all heard the sound of the door being opened and a faint 'Finally' being uttered and then we yelled, all of us, even the Oh so calm and com Lee, we yelled at the top of our lungs, thank God we don't have any glass show pieces, they would have probably shattered to bits and it's a surprise we didn't give some of the elder villagers a heart attack. The only thing for the next 20 seconds, all over the village was, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Hilary's Pov:
As soon as I entered the house thanking the heavens and Ian for teaching me how to pick locks, I was welcomed with four petrified screams, that made my hair stand on the end and here I was expecting a warm welcome.
It was so dark, I could hardly see anything and when the screaming stopped, I heard someone whom I could guess had to be Gary say "I'll protect you guys!" followed by a series of whats, which probably came from Lee and Mariah and a "Go big guy, show that robber what you got, show him, sorry her what you're made of!", that had probably been said by Kevin. They thought I was a robber, what the hell; I'm just an innocent runaway girl. Then it suddenly dawned upon me, if Gary was intending on protecting the other from the so called robber, which he'd probably think of me as since it was dark as a dungeon (AN: I finally know the difference between a metaphor, a simile and an analogy. =D) in here, what did he intend on doing to the 'robber' to protect the others from him or her. As that thought entered my mind, I knew I was in trouble and before I could think of anything to protect myself, I hear Gary yell, "I'll stop you ghost robber!" Ghost, what the hell, I'm not a ghost, I know I'm kind of pale, Daichi never lets me forget it when he mentions that I'm as pale and wrinkly like a an old grandma, though I'm aware that I'm not wrinkly. Even if I wasn't pale anyone would look pale after walking as much as I had done and in the cold wet rain, I'll definitely get a cold tomorrow. And as all of this was running through my head, Gary tackled me to the ground and was yelling, "I got you ghost robber!"
"Gary, I'm not a….."
"So, you are a ghost!"
"I'm not a ghost, God damn it, get off of….."
"How do you know my name, you're a ghost from the underworld bent on taking revenge from the living, who sent you was it Hades, or the furies, oops sorry kindly ones, tell me?"
"Gary, you've got to get over your Greek mythology obsession, it's clouding your mind!"
"See, you know about my obsession, that's how I know you're a ghost, wait did you come all the way from the underworld to tell me I should stop my obsession?" His spit hit my face and I was ready to kill. All this time he others were standing there still like statues (Yeah, another simile! =P) not doing anything but, I could hear muffled laughter so I understood that they had realized it was me but were not saying anything.
I was ready to massacre him about now but I gained cogent thought, "Gary, I'm not from the underworld!" I said through clenched teeth, reminding myself of what I had learnt at the anger management classes, I had forced myself to sit due to Tyson signing me up without my knowledge, I showed him some anger management that night when he told me over dinner that I had to attend these classes for 2 hours from the next day for a month and he had paid 500$ for the entry fees, I would have never attended if he had paid with his own money but he had asked my parents to send a check, the deceptive little moron, My face was frozen when he told me, It must've been priceless to watch, I swear I heard even Kai stifle his laughter. I missed them so much but I had to forget about them but Kai looked so cute when he was trying to suppress his laughter. What had I just thought, Kai and cute shall not be used in the same sentence, he's just a friend, obviously a much closer friend then the others since I get along with him much better and we used to talk a lot usually at weird timings like late at night or early in the morning since we were both the first to get up, so when everyone was asleep and maybe that's why I was more hurt by him than the others but I had to stop myself from dwelling on the past that part of my life was over. But one thing I had to make clear to myself Kai was just a friend and friends don't find friends cute or handsome or hot wait where the handsome and hot come from. As my mental debate was going on I continued, "Hades didn't send me nor did the furies…."
"Kindly Ones" Gary intervened.
"Whatever, no one sent me, I came on my own, I'm not a ghost, I'm not a thief, Gary, God damn it, It's me Hilary, Now get off of me, you're suffocating me!"
"Hilary? Hilary from the Bladebreakers?"
"Yeah, Gary, it's me Hilary, Hilary from the Bladebreakers…." I told him as he got off of me and added though he couldn't probably hear me "Though not anymore, I'm not!"
He picked me up and gave me a huge bear hug and while he was swinging me around and nearly crushing my ribs he said, "Hilary, It's so good to see you, I missed you, so much and I'm so glad you're not a ghost and ooh, the others will be so glad to see you, We missed you so much and did the guys come, huh, huh, huh, did they, did they?"
"I' m really glad to see you to, Gary," I said, while being crushed to nothingness by his bear hug. "No the others didn't come it's just me, now can you please let go of me, I'm starting to lose consciousness."
"Oops, sorry, Hilary, here you go, geez you were all wet!" And he set me on the ground and I straightened my oh so wrinkled and wet clothes.
Now look at the oh so cruel irony the moment he set my down the lights came on again.
"Hilary!" I heard the rest of the guys and Mariah yell and they gathered around me. By this time I was so tired that I swayed on my feet and decided and decided it being best to sit unless I wanted one of the guys to carry me to bed so I sat down on the floor on the puddle that had been created from my dripping hair and clothes.
"Wooh, are you alright, Hilary!" I heard Kevin ask.
"Did the guys come?" Mariah asked, probably hoping that she's get to see Ray.
"You have a fever!" Lee said, placing a hand on my forehead.
"Yeah Kevin as great as ever," I said, in a sarcastic tone. "Nope it's just me and Lee how can I have a fever when I don't even have a cold, I'm just tired, that's it!"
As soon as I had said that, I let out a huge sneeze and realized that someone up there really hates me.
"You were saying!" Lee said, crossing his arms.
I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Do you see how annoying he gets, he is such a know it all and I have to deal with him every day?" Mariah said, perceptibly frustrated.
I chuckled at that.
"Trust me most guys are like that?"
"Right, I forgot you had to deal with Tyson and Daichi everyday they are two and ten times as bad as Lee, Kevin and Gary combined!"
At that my face visibly dropped, which was recognized by all the White Tigers.
"What's wrong, Hils?" Mariah asked.
"Sigh! It's a long story!"
"Well you're here and I'm guessing not going anywhere for a while, so you've got time and we obviously have time with that storm brewing out there thus having nothing to do and even if we did you know we'd cancel for you, so what's wrong!" She said in her happy go lucky manner but I knew she could me scary as the grim reaper or as Gary would say the Fates when she wanted to be.
"Yeah, Hils, what's up, you're here at our house, across the ocean, without informing us, not that we mind your coming, the guys didn't mention anything when we talked to them yesterday, so I'm guessing something big is up and why do I think the guys don't know about you being here, well Hilary?" Lee said in a matter of fact manner.
I looked over at Mariah, "You were right, he is annoying!"
"See, I told you, but on a serious note, something's up, Hils, what's wrong?"
"Fine, you guys want to know the truth?"
They all nodded in unison.
"I've run away from home, from the Bladebreakers!"
