AN: Hi everyone, here you have the first chapter.
Some warning: My english is not the best; This fanfic contains OC's and must important of all, I don't own MFB.
It was just another day in Hikaru's life. The eighteen year old girl went to go for a walk with her friends. After much conversations, laughs and some shopping, the four girls went Hikaru's house. But as usual, the conversation went where Hikaru feared the most.
"Oh, please girls! I'm eighteen, I'm too old for these "setups"!" Hikaru protested.
"Now you said well, you're eighteen Hikaru so... "Said Madoka.
"It's time for you to start thinking about finding someone." Finished Sophie finished Madoka's sentence.
"You think I'm not trying." Hikaru fought back.
"That wasn't what we're trying to say." Explained Mei Mei."It's just, there's more in life than work and we want you to be happy."
"I am already happy. And besides, I have time to find someone I love and who loves me back."
"Ok, but just remember, whenever you need ..."Started Madoka.
"We'll be here for you."Finished Mei Mei. Hikaru couldn't resist hugging her friends, when the four girls were together, Hikaru felt safe, she felt in family, the family she never had.
"Hey, you said that you wrote a new song, right?" Reminded Madoka.
"You want to hear it, don't you?" Asked Hikaru, despite she already know the answer.
"Of course we want!"Answered the three in perfect harmony.
"Ok, I'll just pick up my guitar and be right back."Hikaru was going to get her guitar when someone knocked on the door.
"Are you expecting someone?"Asked Sophie.
"No, I'm not."
Hikaru opened the door and couldn't have been more surprised. Who had decide to pay her a visit was an old friend, a blonde boy with green eyes and a sweet smile. Dressed with a white shirt, a pair of jeans and a pair of blue All-Star Converse.
"Carlos, what are you doing here?"
"Surprise! I came visit my friend of course."Hikaru and Carlos hugged each other. Carlos Andrade was a Portuguese boy, son of a big businessman, who in one of his business trips took his son to Japan and on that trip, he met Hikaru and both became good friends. He had a dream: Became a great artist and reach the great stages of London and Broadway and thanks to Hikaru he got the courage to try to achieve his dream.
"It's so good to see you, Carlos, come in."
"Thank you for the hospitality miss Hasama."
"Oh, how much I miss hear that." Both laugh
Then Madoka asked. "Hey Hikaru, who is it?"
Hikaru didn't answer, just led Carlos to the girls who were also quite surprised to see the young lusitano boy.
"Carlos!"
"Hello girls!"The three girls also couldn't resisted to hug him.
"It's really good to see you all. So, how have you been, I barely have news from you girls."
"Believe me, while you're here you can hear all the news."Said Madoka.
"I hope so Amano, and so I'm glad that I'm going to stick around for a while."
"And you? How are our favorite "tuga"?"Asked Mei Mei.
"Ahah, I had miss to be call that. Just don't tell that front of Francisco, otherwise he would be offended." The five laugh with that. By the way, Francisco was Carlos's boyfriend. And yes, Carlos is gay, but it was never anything that would stop him from being the loving and outgoing boy that everyone loves."And I have some very exciting news. My agent called me and..."
"And ... Come on Carlos, spit it out."Insisted Sophie.
"And ... I'm going to Broadway!"
"What?! Congratulations Carlos, you did it! Hikaru hugged Carlos, proud of him.
"Well, I think this needs a celebration, don't you think Hikaru. And Yes, you won't get away this time, go get the guitar."Said Madoka.
"Oh really!" Mumbled the bluenette girl.
"Easy, Hikaru wrote a new song? I'm sorry but I love your songs Hasama, so I want to hear it!"Said the Portuguese boy.
"Damn, ok! I'll get the guitar."Said Hikaru, a little upset, what made the girls and Carlos turned loose a laugh. Wasn't that Hikaru didn't like to sing for her friends, she just didn't feel comfortable singing in front of anybody.
"So Carlos, Francisco didn't want to come?"Asked Mei Mei.
"He wanted, but he only comes in two weeks, he had to help his parents at the bakery."
At that moment, Hikaru asked."Madoka, the amplifier is in the room?"
"Yes, but what do you need the amplifier, you wouldn't use the acoustic guitar?"Then Hikaru came back with her electric guitar.
"Well, this song isn't very good acoustically."
"And what's the name of the song?"Asked Sophie.
"It's called "Noboby's Home"."Said Hikaru.
She connected the guitar to the amplifier, put herself in position and began to sing, while the girls and Carlos were listened dazzled.
The next day was another normal day at WBBA. Hikaru's work was helping the Director Ryo Hagane on organization of WBBA.
"Hikaru, did you finish the paperwork I asked for?"Asked Ryo.
"I'm almost done, just a few more things Director, but I can not find this information anywhere."
"Seriously? Let me see that."Hikaru delivered the papers to the Director, he read and said."Oh, don't worry about it. Our informer is working on it, soon we'll have this information.
"Wait, Tsubasa is still working for WBBA?
"Well, no. He is my "Apprentice" now. I want him as my successor in the direction of the WBBA , since Gingka is not not even interested in that, unfortunately."
"You should know how Gingka is, Director. But if it's not the Tsubasa the informer, then who is?"
In that moment, came the answer to Hikaru's question.
"Here you have Director, all you asked me to investigate." Said Hyoma.
"Good job Hyoma. Hikaru here you have all the information you needed."
"Thanks Director, I'll take care of it. Thanks you too Hyoma."
"You're welcome. Eh, Hikaru, can I just ask you something?"
"Of course you can. What do you want?"
"Well, we're planning a party for next weekend and I was wondering if ... well ..."
"You were wondering if I would like to go with you, right? Well, sorry Hyoma, I don't think so."
"Oh, come on Hikaru. Give me just a chance, please."
"Hyoma forget it."
"Ok."Hyoma glance, kind of grumpy.
"Love hurt, my dear Hyoma."Commented Ryo, in jest.
"I've noticed that."This sentence made Hikaru drop a small laugh.
But when Hikaru thought the situation already finished ...
"Good morning to all."Then Tsubasa entered the office, not that Hikaru didn't like his company, but when the boys who had a crush on her were together in the same room, even calm boys as Tsubasa and Hyoma, things got ugly.
"Hey Hikaru, how are you?"Asked Tsubasa at half-seducer way, eventually Hikaru didn't like it much.
"What do you want Otori? "
"Well, if Hyoma's here, you should know that we're planning a party and I was wondering if you want to come with me?"
"Tsubasa, I'm going to give you the same answer I gave to Hyoma: I don't think so."
"Oh come on Hikaru."
"Trust me, I used that strategy and it didn't work."Commented Hyoma.
"Tell me, since when I listen to you." Answered Tsubasa immediately and the tone that Tsubasa used with Hyoma left Hikaru a little worried.
'Here they go again.'Thought Hikaru.
"You could forget about that birdboy. "Hyoma hit back, a rude way.
"Birdboy!? Who you think you are, little lamb!"
"Little lamb!? OK, now you passing the limits!"
Before the two bladers started fighting, Hikaru had to put order in the situation
"STOP IT NOW!"Ordered Hikaru, which caused the two boys stayed in continence, and Ryo tried to contain the laugh."Put this in your heads, you are my friends, and we won't pass from that! Please, stop acting like little kids!
"Sorry Hikaru."Said the two boys, quite embarrassed with what happened.
In that moment, Ryo turns to Hikaru and says in jest.
"I wonder if you can put these two and Kyoya in continence."
"If they pass the limits, you bet I can."Replied Hikaru in jest, but also served to warn Tsubasa and Hyoma."Now if you don't mind, I have things to do."
"Ok, but seriously Hikaru, you come to the party or not?"Asked Hyoma.
"It depends on, in which day it is?"
"It's on Saturday."After the answer, it seemed that a lightning hit the young bluenette girl, she froze in place, just thinking about what that day meant in her life.
"S-sorry guys, I won't be able to go."
"Oh, please Hikaru, come, it will be fun."Insisted Tsubasa.
"Please, don't insist."Hikaru put her head down, trying to hold back her tears. Ryo noticed that, and started to get worried.
"Guys, please, Hikaru has work to do. She will think about your case later."Said Ryo in helps Hikaru.
"Ok."Said Tsubasa looking at Hyoma, a little confused.
"See you later"Hyoma Said.
Both bladers left the office. Once done, Ryo wasted no time in trying to comfort his assistant, who was already had the tears falling down her face.
"Calm down Hikaru, it's okay, I'm here."Ryo hugged Hikaru, but she just couldn't contain hold the rest of the tears. Ryo felt compelled to protect her. If to Hikaru, Ryo was like a father, Hikaru was like a daughter to the Director of WBBA.
But they weren't alone too long, Madoka and Carlos entered the office, and both were very concerned when they saw her friend like that.
"Hikaru, what happened?"Asked Madoka, running in the direction of her friend.
"Hikaru, what's going on?"Asked Carlos. Only after he realized what was happening."It's about your mother, isn't it?"
"Yes."Hikaru replied with a weak voice, confirming Carlos's suspicions.
"Oh Hikaru." Said Carlos hugging Hikaru.
"I know it's been 10 years, but ...Still hurts."Said Hikaru between tears. Hikaru's mother was the only family she had. She never met her father and her mother died due to a serious illness when Hikaru was 8 years old. Hikaru grew up alone, without a family and every time she thought about her mother, she couldn't contain the tears. They say time heals, but for Hikaru, that never happened.
"Hikaru, calm down, we're here for you, no matter how complicated is the situation."Said Madoka, passing her hands over Hikaru's face clearing her tears."Please, don't cry, we're here for you."
"I know. Thanks for trying to help."Said Hikaru with a weak smile.
"Come on, I want you better, Hikaru."Said Ryo"You know that hate see you like this."
"Ok, I'll try, but I have to get back to work, I have the paperwork to finish."Said Hikaru.
"You know what you want."Said Carlos with a smile.
At that time, Hikaru is already felt calmer. She could always count on their friends. But suddenly she heard Madoka humming something that was familiar, too much familiar.
"She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside."Hummed Madoka.
"Wait a minute, isn't that the song that I wrote?"Asked Hikaru.
"Yes it is" Said the young brunette girl.
"Believe me, we've been singing your music all day."Said Carlos.
"Seriously? I don't even think the music is so good."Said Hikaru.
"Believe me, your song is just AMAZING!"Said Madoka and Carlos in perfect harmony, what made Ryo and Hikaru laugh.
At the end of her workday, Hikaru decided to take a walk around town. After the walk, ahe sat in an area with grass, near the pier. For distraction, Hikaru took her notebook from her bag and started writing. She was trying to write the lyrics for her next song, when ...
"Hey Hikaru, what's up?"
"Aahh! Kyoya, you scared me."
"Sorry, may I sit down?"
"Of course."
"Thank you. So, what are you doing?"
"I'm just a write a little."
"A new song, rIght? I bet you're an amazing songwriter."
"Ok, tell me, what do you want Tategami?"
"Oh, just because I'm being nice to you, I mean I want something."
"You're kidding me right?" She asked in a serious tone.
"Fine, I wondering if you come to the party that we're planning to make and, you know, if you wanted to go with me?"
Hikaru took a deep breath before answer him, not only because of what happened earlier that day, but also because it was the third time someone asked her that in the same day.
"Sorry Kyoya, but I don't think so."
"Ok. I know how you are so I won't insist." Said Kyoya, a little disappointed.
"If only the other two were like you on this, that could save me a lot of headaches."Muttered Hikaru for herself.
"Did you say something?"
"No, I didn't say anything."
"Okay, just out of curiosity, what styles of music do you write?"
"Well, I write punk and rock music, but also like to write some songs more mushy, some ballads once in a while. Essentially that."
"You know, one day I'd like to hear you sing. Just the girls and Carlos had the privilege of hearing you."
"I'm not a great singer, but since you asked, I'm going to think about it."
"So I hope Hasama, I hope so."
The atmosphere was even better than usual between the two. Kyoya could be rude on everybody, but deep down, he was a nice guy. Things were going relatively well, until...
"I finally found you crab!"
"Oh, you must be kidding me! What are you Tetsuya?"
"You know what I want, I want a battle little crab, here and now! "Said Tetsuya, taking your beyblade and putting himself in a position to fight.
'This will be quite fast.' Hikaru thought.
"Let's finish this quickly!"Said Kyoya, also putting himself in fight position.
With both bladers in position, said the countdown, launched the beyblades and the first clash, Tetsuya's beyblade was thrown away.
"Gasher. Waiting for Daddy!" Tetsuya started chasing his beyblade.
"Hey, come back here!"Ordered Kyoya, but with no effect, so he had to go after Tetsuya."Talk to you later Hikaru."Said Kyoya before starting his "persecution".
"Good luck. "Said Hikaru, unable to contain a laugh."Some things never change."Commented Hikaru for herself.
After being there for over an hour, she decided to go back home. Halfway, Hikaru couldn't stop thinking about what had happened that day. The invitation of the three boys, the fact that of the party being on the same day of the 10th anniversary her mother's death. Were things that made Hikaru lost in their thoughts. However, something caught her attention, in a negative way. When she looked, she saw a group of Face Hunters corralling a small group of kids, probably with same age as Kenta and Yu. So, Hikaru felt obligation to intervene.
"Hey, you guys, why don't you pick someone of your own size! Said Hikaru.
"Look who she is, Hikaru Hasama. It's been a long time since we had news from you."Said one of the Hunters, in a provocative way.
"I won't tell again: Go away!"
"And if we don't want to."Said another of the Face Hunters, trying to intimidate Hikaru.
She wasn't intimidated, during her life she faced many of those unscrupulous scoundrels. Despite having given up on beyblade, she was always with her Storm Aquario and she didn't have any problems of using it in guys like those. Hikaru was going to prepare to take her beyblade when, a blader came out of nowhere and released her beyblade against the hunters. Was a girl with long blond hair with various strawberry-blonde streaks. Using a braid that fell over her right shoulder. With blue eyes and fair skin. She wore a dark green t-shirt, a black leather vest, fingerless gloves in green, a black skirt that got her mid-thigh and biker boots.
"You heard her, go away."Said the mysterious girl.
The Face Hunters felt surrounded began to run away. The kids who were there thanked the two girls, and left.
'Wow.'That was the only thing that was going through Hikaru's head.
"These guys are really unbelievable."Commented the girl.
"You bet, but you got rid of them very easily."Praised Hikaru.
"Thank you, although I know that you could take care of them, I couldn't be sit and looking."
"By the way, I never saw you around here. You're new in the city?
"Yes, in matter fact I am. Oh, where are my manners? I am Anastasia McDeal."She said extending her hand.
"I'm Hikaru Hasama."She returned with a handshake.
"The pleasure is all mine. I think better go. It was nice meeting you Hikaru."
"It was nice to meet you Too. So, see you around.
"Yah, see ya."With that, Anastasia left.
Hikaru felt something strange for a second, when she spoke to Anastasia, was something that Hikaru can't quite explain what it was, but at that moment, she didn't care.
'Anastasia.'Hikaru thought.
And this was the first chapter. Just a few things, the song "Nobody's Home" belongs to Avril Lavigne and the expression "Tuga" is a common way that the portuguese people call themselves.
I hope you like it. Please feel welcome to left a review.
