WHAAAAAT?
I woke up the next morning groggy, possibly from the crying I had done. Funny how I didn't have an alarm but woke up on time. Ray was already dressed, and smiled when I looked over.
"Hey just in time for breakfast!" he said happily. I smiled and went to get changed and when I came back he had a miso soup all ready for me and some toast. I sat on the couch and ate with contentment. Japanese breakfasts were always so much healthier I found. After we ate we set off for the stadium. Again making sure no cops got a hold of me. Ray was so understanding, I really loved that about him. Once there we went into the bladders room. He was against hat boy.
"My opponents name is Tyson, don't tell him but Mr. D thinks he should join" I nodded. Alright Tyson, not who was Tyson? Oh duh! Hat boy! I walked out when Ray was ready to battle him, and sat in the crowd. I looked around, who else would be on our team? Or was that it? During my look around I realized with discontent that I was sitting next to Kai. I really hoped he wasn't on our team! Though I thought about it, he probly would have said no and walked off as if he was cooler than us. Typical. He looked over at me and I glared.
"Heard you got put on a team" he murmured coolly. How'd he know that? I smirked
"Psh yeah a team way too cool for your poll spine!" I said. He smirked, did he think I was kidding? I sure wasn't! I looked back to the stadium, to find Tyson had already unleashed his bit beast. CRAP! I stood up and cupped my hands over my mouth
"Take him down Ray!" I called. Obviously he didn't hear me, but it was the thought that counts! That's when I saw it, Ray's bit, a frikken tiger! Awesome, again Ray was awesome in every way! Ha-ha! I cheered obnoxiously for him leaving Kai to place his hands over his ears.
"Could you be any more annoying?" he uttered. I glared at him
"Same could be said for you!" I said sticking my tong out at him. He didn't really seem to care, just kept his hands over his ears until I stopped "There happy now?" I asked glaring at him. He nodded. ARGH SO ANNOYING! So I kicked his leg, real hard.
"What was that for?" he demanded
"You piss me off!" I replied. He stood up, that's when Mr. D intervened. No! I would have whipped the floor with him!
"Both of you settle down!" he said as I sat down glaring, and so did Kai. Sadly to our surprise we had been arguing throughout the match. Great, I missed it, and Tyson had won! Fine whatever at least he could take on Kai now. I knew who to cheer for! Max jumped over the railings and they all joined in a group love fest. The happiness was catchy I admit so I ran down to.
"Great fight Ray!" I said and Tyson gave kid with glasses (who I at that point figured out was named Chief?) a hug and praise as Max joined them for more group love feasting. Ray looked back at me
"Yeah I'm glad I lost to him" he said
"Me to" I told him and we both smiled at each other. Then Ray looked at his blade
"Why did you let me lose the battle?" at first I thought he was talking to me, until I realized it was his beyblade he was talking to. He smiled and pulled back his blade
"Maybe one day I'll understand" he said with a smile. I patted his shoulder
"Hey everything happens for a reason man" I said and gave his back two pats, one harder just for fun. With that he walked over, and like a little puppy so did I.
"Tyson!" He called as he jumped off the stage "way to go that was a good fight I've never faced a challenger as strong as you" he said. As Tyson looked at him in surprise I tilted my head and smiled walking over, fighting the jealousy that over took me.
"Makes me wish I had faced you!" I put in. Tyson looked at me and glared
"Really" he said semi sarcastically. I flinched and looked down
"Oh don't be so mean to her!" Ray said pushing us both together "what ever happened before I'm sure it was a misunderstanding" he said now that I was facing Tyson.
"eer I guess" he said and put out his hand "Names Tyson, I don't think we got properly introduced uum?" I smiled and shook hands with him
"Koojiru" I said kindly. With that his face brightened up and he laughed
"For the record, you can't be mad at Max you are pretty cute" I blushed and kicked the ground
"Neh" I replied. Ray interrupted
"Tyson your pretty amazing and I mean that" he said
"Your pretty great yourself" Tyson replied. I looked down and blushed a deeper red
"You have no clue" I murmured quiet enough for no one to hear. While I muttered I missed something because when I came back out of my head they were laughing. I laughed to, their laughter was contagious. Man I'm so glad Tyson was on our team actually. I walked forward now
"Hey Tyson" I said quietly
"Yeah?" he asked looking confused, UGH why was everyone so confused by me? I wasn't that confusing I swear!
"wipe the floor with Kai!" I winked and gave him a thumbs up. Instinctively he reached out and grabbed my hand, I guess as if to shake? Either way we both laughed some more. Then Tyson realized something
"Hey wait were tied so don't we have another match to go through?" Ray laughed
"Nah I don't stack up against you, so you win have fun in the finals!" he said and walked away. I stayed, Tyson was also very cute, god why did I base this shit on looks, too bad there wasn't a nearby wall I could hit my head against.
"Hey come back were not done yet!" he called after Ray
"Yes we are!" he lifted a fist and kept walking. I looked back at Tyson and smiled
"Guess you are my avenger after all" I punched his shoulder and ran after Ray ignoring his wail of pain. I giggled to myself, oh man why did I find joy in hurting people? When I caught up to Mr. D and Ray I overheard Mr. D
"Why did you throw in the towel?" the explanation happened and I stood there being shy some more. Ray turned "alright Kooj, let's go" I tilted my head
"To the bladders room I hope!" I said. Ray looked at me confused
"Why?"
"I want to get to know Tyson better, after all were gonna be team mates!" I said eyes sparkling with excitement
"How could I say no to that face" Ray said ruffling my hair. Ray and I walked towards the room when he stopped
"Actually I want to go see Mr. D" he said. I stopped and looked at him then handed him my forum
"K well get him to sign this please" I said and walked off, anxious about being alone in that room. Peeking my head through I saw Kai first, and made a noise that said 'oh you' then walked behind Tyson Max and Chief. I smirked evilly knowing they didn't know I was there.
"HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOO!" I said gleefully grabbing Max and Tyson's shoulders making them jump. I laughed a little as the turned around.
"Oh hey!" Max said laughing then to. I smiled
"Here to help us?" Kenny asked. I looked down at his laptop
"wasn't my first intention but hey I'm here right?" I said as the started talking, about weird stuff, I didn't really understand the science. Tyson joyfully strangled Chief, who I then found out his real name was Kenny.
"Ok perfect, now remember Tyson Kai likes aryl attacks, so dodging him is essential, it's easy to" I made the motion with myself "see?" I asked smiling. Kenny smiled at me
"Didn't get the science did you?" he asked. I looked down and blushed
"Ahaha well….uh no" I admitted.
"well guys I thought I would just wing it guys" Tyson cut in
"Get serious Tysone Kai is way too tough an opponent to wing it" Kenny replied.
"Yeah seriously DOOOODDDGE!" I butted in
"and defend, somewhat" Max put in.
"Perfect!" I said "Tyson dodge, defend, look for a weak point AND GO IN FOR THE KILL! Like martial arts!". Tyson turned to me
"You take martial arts to?" he asked with awe
"oh god yes! Which one are you in?" I asked getting excited now
"Kendo you?"
"Karate!" we smiled and laughed together and shook hands
"Were gonna have to have a sparring match sometime!" Tyson said happily
"Heh ok! Just don't be shocked when I beat you" I said challengingly. We laughed again
"Ok guys focus! We have to beat Kai!"
"Oh right sorry Chief" me and Tyson replied at the same time.
"Wait can Dizzy bring up a list of all possible bit combinations?" Max inquired. Kenny laughed
"of course but don't forget who pushed the buttons around here Max"
"Oh come on a little help from friends can't help" I said poking Kenny in the ribs
"BAAAHWAAA!" Kenny flailed and me and Max laughed as he went back to typing. Just then the door opened and an old man popped in
"HIYA DUDES!" he called making me and Tyson jump.
"grandpa alert!" Tyson called running straight into me, Max and Kenny. I crawled out from under the pile
"I'm Koojiru" I said dusting myself off
"Oh hey, Tyson got himself a new girlfriend I see?" Grandpa asked me smiling
"NO! I'm his t- friend" I stopped myself form saying team mate just in time.
"Grandpa I know your not trying to be weird or anything but do you really have to talk like that? Please can't you just be a normal grandpa? I'm begging you" he said. I looked over
"Man I wish I had a grandpa like him" I put in. Tyson shudder
"Why?" I looked off into a corner
"Cause he uh….um well he's spunky and my grandpa… just sits there and is boring?" I said back. Tyson gave me a funny look but then Grandpa laughed
"Just trying to keep up with the times my man" I looked at him
"well um sir we haven't talked like that since the 70's" I said
"Oh well dig my lingo or not it's how I talk and please no sir call me grandpa!" I blushed
"Ok now that's weird" I said putting my hand over my face to hide the blush. Grandpa laughed more but then got serious
"do you know what today is?" he asked I blinked
"Um, November 23rd?" I asked (well I guess it wasn't really summer vacation but that really didn't matter anymore)
"Correct right on the ball little lady and it's a special day!" Tyson looked and thought some more
"don't tell me you forget what very special event took place in history this day!" I thought again
"something to do with world war two?" I asked again blinking grandpa laughed then looked back to Tyson
"nooo" Tyson still didn't know. Just then a large group of people came in. I immediately went to the corner and sat down. Birthday I guessed. I didn't belong in this, not my place. As the feast got set up I looked down, just before I left Tyson looked over to me, and Kai I guess
"Hey guys wanna join?" he asked mouth full of food. I held back a disgusted face
"Are you sure it's ok? I don't want to impose or interrupt or-"
"just come over here!" he said I smiled and came over but Kai walked away
"I have better things to do" he said. I gave him the finger before his eyes couldn't see it. He gave one back and walked out.
"God he's annoying!" Tyson and I said at the same time, we looked at each other and laughed.
"oh my god I love Japanese food so much more then north American!" I exclaimed. Max jumped up
"Where from North America are you?" He asked all excitedly
"Canada" I replied
"Oh cool I'm from U.S.A" he said and we high-five.
I watched with anticipation for the match to begin with Ray and Mr. D
"I hope Tyson kicks that ass hole into a new staratashpier" I said Ray laughed
"You really hate him don't you?" he asked
"Maybe not hate but he is really stupid! He would break kid blades, cause apparently they're weak!" I said angrily. Ray shook his head
"Well like him or not just know Tyson may not win this one, I hope he does but" I jumped up before he could finish
"TAKE HIM DOOOWN BIRTHDAY BOY!" I called. Again of course Tyson couldn't hear me, though yada yada. "Man what's with his poses?" I asked pointing to Kai after the launch
"Well all bladders have different launching styles, actually yours and Kais are pretty similar" Ray said. I turned my head
"Peh maybe he copied it then" Ray sighed
"Actually he didn't" I blushed and kept my mouth shut. How could Ray defend this guy? Ugh eletestness that one faces in sports! Tyson unleashed his attack right away, oh god not good! But, you know I got proven wrong as Kai went flying into the fence with his blade. For some reason, the way he sat there, made me kinda sad.
"Not cheering?" Ray asked. I looked at him then shook my head
"WOOHOO TYSON!" just to prove a point, and distract him from the fact that I got lost in my head, retro sect, I don't think it worked. The battle began again. Kai won this time and now I was on the edge of my seat, one and it could be anyone's game at this point. I got up and pumped my fist in the air
"Tyson Tyson Tyson! I started chanting, and the crowed picked up momentum with me. Ray smiled and joined. Yes perfect! Kai took off his arm guards, oh god, so much muscle, kinda freaky I thought, I think? The bey stadium glowed with fire and wind and I was floored by the ability. I looked at my blade Ebony, and hoped one day we could be capable of that. I guess I had a lot to learn, but I couldn't wait and one day it would be me and Kai again in the statidium, I would not rest until I won! Suddenly there was a quiet, and confusion, none of us knew who had won, but for some reason my gut felt like butterflies were taking over it. Which could only mean one thing…
I stood up before anyone else and started cheering like a maniac. Ray looked at me in confusion and I turned and smiled
"boo, yeah" I said happily. Though at that point I realized the beyblades weren't even in the dish. So either my gut was wrong or I would just have to wait for the victory. Ray laughed at me
"Well, at least your proving you insanity point" he said I blinked
"How, did you know?" I asked
"Now I do, if your thinking your insane your-" he looked up eyes stretched in awe. The glow hurt my eyes as I saw the bit beats coming down. Beautiful, even Kai's I had to admit. But I wouldn't let the feeling of admiration stay for long. The battle continued from above and stood up fists and all. Tyson's blade wobbled at the edge and my breath caught, come on come on! I thought, and that's when it happened, Kais blade went spinning out. I wasted no time and jumped out of my seat running down the stairs to the dish. Tyson cheered and as the fences came down he approached Kai.
"Hey Kai" he said as I stepped over the last fence to go down
"I gave it my best" Kai said as he turned, sounding almost hurt. I flinched. No, I couldn't have pity for such a tyrant.
"I know" before Tyson could say anything else Ray and Mr. D approached us three. I walked over to Kai, as much as he annoyed me I really couldn't let someone feel hurt.
"No shit you did" I said punching him in the arm. He didn't even say ouch, in fact I wanted to, wall of muscle no word of a lie! Congratulations happened, but I wasn't really paying attention I was just watching Kai.
"so since I'm not the champion anymore you have no use of my skills Mr. Dickenson" Kai said. I gave him another whack
"ok OW!" he finally said I smiled
"your so dumb" was my only reply. I guess I was smiling because I really meant it. Mr. D laughed
"I was thinking more along the lines of making you a team captain" he said
"UH WHAT?" I jumped to face him "you can't mean…"
"Oh yes I do" Mr. D winked at me. Oh god. The spot lights went on them both as my stomach sank… a different team of course! Had to be!
"Time to announce the official team who will represent us in the world champion ships" the announcer spoke
"nooo" I moaned.
"Semi finalist Max!" ok… "and Ray" well duh wait uh oh… "and who could forget Koojiru!" I looked at the jumbo screen, well shit there he was.
"WHAT?" I let out my shock. Mr. D laughed looks like you and Kai will just have to get along" he said. Me and Kai exchanged glances. Great when the hell would I get to fight AGAINST him? Well I'm glad Tyson was happy, I sure wasn't. That's when we got our name thanks to Tyson.
I was on team Bladebreakers. Kai, as my leader. Yet another, "joy"
