OWTF . . . (on with the fic)


Party Crasher


Deep ruby eyes blinked twice as they stared off aimlessly out the window; a miserable rainy day. Training today was canceled due to the weather, much to Tyson's begging.

A petite 15-year-old girl sighed heavily, glancing warily out into the wet weather. Hilary Tatibana batted a few dark chocolate strands of hair out of her eyes. She kicked her feet restlessly, she was bored, she needed to do something - anything!

It was no secret Hilary usually spent time with the Blade Breakers; Tyson Granger, Max Tate, Kenny, Ray Kon and . . . Kai Hiwatari.

She sighed heavily at the thought of him; she had been avoiding him all week. After that run in at his apartment, she still couldn't bring herself to be near him - let alone remove those seductive thoughts that played about in her head.

She blushed faintly at the memory; she could not get the image of his lips out of her head. She was longing to feel what she missed out on... it wasn't like they confessed their undying love towards one another! Nothing happened, it was just a spur of a moment thing... it meant nothing because nothing happened. They didn't even like each other in that way... He definitely didn't think of her that way, so she definitely shouldn't either - or so she kept telling herself.

Hilary shook her head, refusing to even play back the memories of that night. Although avoiding him wasn't exactly the smartest thing on her part... because that meant she would be avoiding all of her friends as well. They did, after all, train every day together. They didn't want people stealing their bit beasts again, especially after that incident with Zeo at the World Championships. Kenny had enlisted Hilary to continue to help Kai with their training schedules, which meant avoiding him forever would be impossible and selfish.

Her eyes cast down upon the floor; there was another thing she couldn't avoid... The boys were her only friends. Hilary had no other girlfriends, they all thought she was a "stuck up bitch" and never wanted anything to do with her, whether it be during or outside of class. In fact, all of her classmates seemed to hate her - she would always be the annoying self-righteous class president.

Max was like a best friend she never had - he never judged her. He often took her out to ice cream or played his video games with her. Sometimes they would have pillow fights. Everything with Max felt natural and safe.

Then there was Ray, who she would often confide in, for she knew he would keep all of her secrets, and he was always there to talk to when things were messed up in her life.

Tyson- he was like an annoying brother, they fought constantly, and he was always annoying her in some way or another - but this always reassured her things were still normal. They were still friends. It was always fun to laugh at his expense, in fact, she liked Tyson's company more than she admitted. So long as he wasn't bullying her.

Kenny, well she was around him all the time - and though she enjoyed his company, she enjoyed learning everything she needed to know about Beyblading from him more. From the full structure of a Beyblade to the bit-beast powers and techniques, without Kenny, she would be clueless to the world of Beyblading. Hilary knew, she would most likely have not had stayed around Tyson and the others had it not been for Kenny. Simply because she had no idea what was so great about the sport - not until Kenny showed her.

And then there was Kai...

Kai was the leader of the group, he was strict, and often made the boys do more training than necessary. He was always cold and quiet. But he did occasionally socialized with her; in fact, he seemed to be socializing with her a lot recently. Saving her countless times last year, cuddling with her on the couch last week...

Hilary let out a sudden cry of frustration, "God! I have to get my mind off of him!" Hilary looked around her empty house; nothing but bitter silence and the echo her own thoughts could be found here.

"Oh what the hell, I'll go to Tyson's. Kai rarely spends his time there unless they are training, and since it was canceled, I'm safe! It's better than staying here, thinking of- oh screw it I'm out of here!" she yelled at herself, as she quickly grabbed her coat, and ran out the door into the pouring rain.


"Tyson are you so sure about this?" Kenny looked up at his friend in worry.

"It's all covered Chief, The Gramp's is out, and the house is free!" he gave his best World Champion grin.

"Oh I dunno, Tyse, Chief does have a point, you could get in big trouble for this . . ." the blond side-glanced to his best friend, before staring back at Kenny, who sighed in aspiration.

"It's no biggie Maxy!" Tyson laughed lightly, "Plus , Kai, will be here, so there should be nothing to worry about! It's technically adult supervised, him being so uptight and all."

"Uptight, huh?"

Tyson gulped, before turning around to stare at Kai who looked about ready to throttle a certain navy-haired teen, and behind him, Ray.

"Uh, heh heh. Hey guys!" he greeted over-casually, placing a hand behind his head.

Kai strode past Tyson with a famous Kai- 'hn', "Heard you were having a house party?" he raised a blue eyebrow slightly, glaring at the navy haired boy.

Tyson nodded with a big grin, "Yup! I already invited everyone! The Magestic's... The All Stars... The White Tigers... and a few kids from class!"

"Tyson . . . I think you forgot to invite someone . . ." Ray commented, looking out into the pouring rain, it had just started when he and Kai arrived at Tyson's house.

Tyson frowned, "Who? I invited all of our blader-friends that are in town this week... Who could I have forgotten?"

Ray rolled his eyes, as Max went into deep thought trying to remember who it was that was missing too. Ray stared at Tyson, "Tyson, how many girls do we know?" he asked dully.

Tyson frowned, counting on his fingers, staring upwards in thought, "Mariah, Emily . . . and Hil-." Tyson paled slightly, "HILARY! Oh my god, she'll kill me if she ever finds out I had a party!"

Kai glared over at Tyson.

Hilary . . . now that he thought about it, they hadn't seen her all week. She hadn't been attending practices or full training days this week, (even if all she did was watch and bitch at Tyson most days).

In fact, he hadn't seen her since ... since that night at his apartment, or rather - the following morning... He inwardly groaned at this; no wonder- she had been avoiding him! He had been such an idiot that morning; and being an idiot was Tyson's job, not his!

Yet he couldn't help but think how cute it was that she was so utterly flustered in his half-naked presence. He wondered, if he had that mere effect on her half-naked, then he would be interested in learning the full effect.

Kai shook his head furiously, 'What the hell am I thinking?' Before he could start mentally kicking himself, he realized Tyson was ready to run out into the rain to get to Hilary's house.

It was strange how it all happened; Tyson opened the door and before he knew it, a wet flash of pink and white raced into Tyson's house. Since the person was wet, it made the floor slippery, causing her to slide and topple into Kai, who was now staring up at the figure.

Kai groaned underneath the weight, before glancing up to see a mass of short brown hair, and similar moaning. The girl pushed herself up slightly, opening her deep ruby eyes, hers meeting Kai's auburn pools.

Hilary jumped up so fast; Kai had no time to realize it was her until she stood up.

"H-Hilary?" Tyson stared at Hilary, causing her to turn around, and take off her coat.

Kai stood up quietly, staring at the girl.

"Sorry Kai . . ." she muttered, blushing profusely, before hanging up her wet coat. "I had no idea all of you were going to be here." She commented looking around at the Blade Breakers, avoiding Kai's gaze.

"I was just coming to get you, we're having a house party since Gramps is out!" he grinned sheepishly.

Hilary frowned in puzzlement, "House Party?" She furrowed her brows suddenly at the idea.

Tyson's hands shot up waving in defense, "Hey now Hilary, it's not that big a deal. It's all cool. Only the people we know will be here!"

She sighed inwardly, this was Tyson's mistake to make, he needed to learn from them, this was not her right to call it on him, so she let it slide, "Whatever Tyson."

"Huh? You mean... you're not going to yell or something?" Tyson blinked in disbelief, dropping his hands.

"Unless you want me to." She said, glaring sideways at the navy-haired boy beside her, placing her hands on her hips, "I'm not... I'm going to let you do what you want this time."

Ray and Max glanced to one another, now very weary; usually, Hilary would have slapped some sense into Tyson. But she was letting him make his own mistakes . . . something was up.

"I ALWAYS KENW YOU WERE COOL HILARY!"

"TYSON GET THE HELL OFF ME!"


Everyone arrived about an hour or two later. Mostly everyone Hilary didn't know. So she leaned on a wall, (she noticed Kai usually did this if he did not feel like participating in social activities) while watching everyone else have fun. There were a lot of girls from her class, and her grade, she recognized them but never socialized with them- not that she wanted to. Then there were two other girls, who didn't go to their school.

A pink haired girl, she heard Tyson mention as Mariah (it didn't take her long to figure out she was the girl Ray had mentioned before on numerous occasions). She was always around Ray or the other girl; the orange haired girl, Max referred to as Emily. They were beyblader's too, she had never heard of girl beyblader's before . . . she liked the idea of it, though.

And then there was a bunch of guy bladers. Majesties, All Stars, and White Tigers . . . they were gathered amongst the Blade breaker's, chatting about old times. She couldn't be bothered to remember all of their names; she just placed them by teams.

Hilary sighed heavily.

"You're over here alone because . . . ?" came a cool voice.

She glanced up to see Kai leaning against the wall beside her. "I don't know anyone but you and the boys . . . I'm not really good at making friends or partying . . . and apparently neither are you."

"Good guess." He snorted, glancing over to his teammates and 'friends'.

Hilary glanced to her girl schoolmates, who were glaring at her while eyeballing Kai. "They're talking about you . . ." She muttered quietly.

He glanced their way for a brief second before glancing back over at the brunette beside him. "So?"

"Just thought I'd let you know that they are swooning over you, like a bunch of fangirls." Hilary shrugged trying to sound careless.

"I know . . . and they're sending you dirty looks." Kai chuckled and glanced over to the girls who swooned slightly, and when back to chatting and giggling. "Probably because I'm talking to you and not them," he shrugged, taking his gaze off of the girls.

Hilary grunted, "You sure are full of yourself, Kai Hiwatari."

Kai smirked but remained silent as he glanced back over at his fan-club.

"Sorry again for earlier, bumping you down and all..." she trailed off, blushing slightly, not really knowing what to say.

This was the first conversation they had held, since that night-

"Hn."

Though, Kai really needed to learn some conversation skills, instead of limiting his vocabulary to that one word!

"ALRIGHT PARTY TIME!' Tyson laughed loudly, cranking the music, making Hilary jump in surprise. She watched him take some vodka and pour four Mickey's into the punch bowl.

Hilary gasped, eyes growing wide, "Vodka? H-how did he-? ARGH...Oh, It's his mistake to make!" She growled in annoyance.

Kai glanced down at her. She seemed frustrated with everything, but it was more than just idiotic Tyson on her mind. She seemed all together stressed.

Ray and Max seemed a bit worried but not that much, they were too busy relaxing with the All Stars and the White Tiger's to care what Tyson was doing. Tyson was digging into the spiked punch and junk food, he was already getting drunk.

Kai shook his head, "He's so alcohol intolerant... Hell, he's 15; he shouldn't be guzzling that shit yet..." Kai glanced down to find Hilary standing up straight and making her way over to Tyson and the punch bowl. He smirked; Tyson was going to get a good bitch-slap.

Tyson shook slightly, "You're not gonna slap me, are you, Hil's? hic"

"No Tyson, just go have fun with your friends..." She waved him off with her hand, pouring some punch into a cup for herself instead. Hilary looked down at the cup before guzzling it down. Tyson shrugged before bouncing off towards Ray and Max.

Kai glared at her; walking up behind her and snatching the cup from her hands before she could down some more, "What the hell are you doing?" he knew girls could do stupid things- but Hilary of all people? This was Tyson's job, not hers! Hilary was the smart one!

Hilary glared back in a challenging matter. He was used to this side of Hilary though - she was the only girl who ever stood up to him, "Give me my cup! I'm in a bad mood! So sue me if I wanna loosen up with some alcohol! Give it!" she hissed trying to snatch the cup, but Kai only kept it out of her reach. His height a clear advantage.

"No!" Kai snapped back, "Just because you're all depressed, don't mean you need to get drunk and be an idiot like Tyson."

"Oh?" She was now furious, he could tell with the sudden hitch in her voice. "Tyson am I? Then what exactly am I allowed to do?" She stressed the word - as if daring him to tell her what she could and could not do.

"I'll tell you one thing you're not allowed to do!" Kai snapped back angrily, "Act like an idiot! Because that's how you're behaving right now! Go socialize and have fun with people, don't go drowning depression by getting drunk!" he did not like this sudden change in her attitude. Hilary was not like this. What was her problem?!

She gave a cold bitter laugh. "Socialize? Have fun!" Hilary sneered, before turning on her heel and storming away. "You're one to talk, hypocrite!" She hissed over her shoulder, storming her way to the backyard.

"Stupid girl!"
