Just in case you got confused like, 'when did that happen' or 'did I missed that chapter somewhere?', if something like that appeared in your heads. Hahaha!
Chapter 6: Stupid Bullies
Madoka was satisfied by the result when she finished repairing a bey. She had master the skill in repairing beyblades. She didn't break a sweat. Though it did consumed a bit energy but overall, perfect. Madoka smile widely as she finished another beyblade. Today, she had 6 beyblades that needs to be repair and she had done repairing the 4th one.
"Two more to go!", Madoka told herself. She kept reminding herself that everything will be alright as long as she kept her focus. She decided to finished the other two beyblades today so that later she can rest peacefully. Just when she was about to start the 5th one, Yui called for her from upstairs.
"Hey Madoka! Someone wants to meet you!", Yui shout.
"Coming!", she shout back and took off her googles. Her mind quickly filled with question. Someone wants to meet her? Benkei? It can't be. He's busy right now. Dunamis? Maybe. He came here time to time. Maybe Ryuuga? Wow, if that's true then that'll be the first time he ever step inside this shop. Just when she came up, it was true. Ryuuga was there along with someone else.
"Ryuuga? And Kyouya too?", she call them and Yui, Ryuuga and Kyouya look at her. She quickly went towards them and greet. Both of them greet back too. She was a bit surprised to see them.
"They've arrived just now. They told me they need their beys repaired.", Yui explain and Madoka blink twice. She looked at the two boys, confused. They could have just go downstairs and told her. Yui, knew what Madoka tried to ask, immediately answer it.
"They're too embarrassed to go down there and 'sneak' on you,", Yui explain with a teasing tone along with her usual proud smirk. Madoka was blushing when Yui said that.
"Excuse me?", both of them ask in unison which made Madoka giggle at them. It's kind of amusing watching them being teased by Yui. At least someone can understand how she felt when Yui annoyed her. As both sides continue their meaningless fight, Madoka saw a newspaper for today. Seems like Yui's on a good mood to go out and buy one.
"Well, well, well. Look who bought the newspaper today. I thought you hate buying newspaper~?", Madoka tease. Actually she was right. Yui said that she didn't care about the world right now. She only cares about her life and those that has connection to her life or anything 'amusing'.
"Hahaha, your compliment flattered me...", Yui remark, sarcastically. Ouch, that hurts, Madoka thought to herself, realized that Yui didn't like to be made fun about it.
"So, what's the lastest news?", Madoka quickly change the topic, hoping that Yui might let her go this time. And as if fate heard her, it really happen. Yui's face suddenly change to the usual bored and calm features. That means she decided to let it go.
"The usual bullies.", Yui told her or more like to the three of them. The news surprised Madoka and Ryuuga except for Kyouya confused. Well, he did just came here. Upon seeing Kyouya's confused expression, Yui smirk.
"Ah, I forgot. Someone here just came recently so he doesn't know exactly what's happening here.", Yui look somewhere else with a mocking smirk? Whatever it is, it really can piss anybody if she did that to them.
"You got something to say to me?"
"Oh, how pitiful..."
"If you got something to say to me then say it!", and there they go. Fighting over things like that. She can't blame Kyouya though. The usual bullies that Yui said just now happened 1 year ago. And somehow the case had become more and more active. It was a bunch of bullies who took people's prized possession they're holding that time or if it's blader they stole the beys. The people agree to search for the bullies and arrest them but up until now, no one found their real hideout. Madoka look at Yui and Kyouya quarreling and she let out a sigh.
They had been like these when Madoka decided to let them meet each other. To her own surprised they already met. Kyouya told her that they met after he had sent her home the other day and Yui just nod, going along with his story. She was glad they met already but it turns out not what she wanted though. She thought that they would get along pretty fine but it turns out different than she imagine. And the result was this, right in front of her. Fighting.
They had been like these for a couple of times and Yui usually ends up winning of course. No one can beat her usual humor, teasing and sarcasm. Oh, not to mention her unpredictable actions. Madoka had to admit that she's pretty impressed that Yui had the nerve to tease Kyouya. Usually girls would fall for him the second they laid their eyes on him. For Yui though she just bluntly said straight to Kyouya's face that he's too plain for her taste. That really gave Kyouya a major surprised but that comment also left an interest effect inside Kyouya. For Madoka, she likes the cute types, like example, Ginga. He's cute, caring, and cheerful. Madoka didn't realized that she was smiling to herself. Suddenly, she felt a hard knock came in contact with her head.
"Ow! Yui!", Madoka exclaim, anger filling inside her. She didn't have to guess who did it though. There's only one person in this world who had that bold action on hitting or knocking her head. Yui had that impressed expression face though.
"Wow, I'm not surprised you knew who did it. But anyway, welcome back to the world, lil' manager~", Yui said, teasingly and playfully. Madoka just pout. She was embarrassed since both her friends, Kyouya and Ryuuga just saw what Yui did. She can guess from their expression that even they were surprised by Yui's blunt action.
"Did you have to hit me so hard?", Madoka look at what Yui's holding and guess what, the newspaper. Hey, newspaper still hurts okay? Especially when someone coiled the whole newspaper and you got knocked by it. Try it. It feels 'good'.
"Of course I should. Because I just saw a grim reaper was on the progress to carry your soul in his ferry. So I had to knock you hard.", again with her usual blunt words. Madoka sweatdrop and thought to herself, make sure you made a mental note to never mess with Yui.
"You really didn't have to knock her that hard.", Ryuuga protest what Yui just did. Madoka couldn't believe what she heard. Did Ryuuga just showed a hint that he cares for her? Kyouya was surprises too but Yui just smirk.
"Ah, you care about her?"
"It's not like that. It's just that she didn't deserve to be knocked like that."
"Says someone who knocked several people because of frustration.", Yui remind. Immediately our minds went back to couple a days ago. When Yui and Madoka was on their way home, they saw Dunamis and Kyouya calming down a somewhat pissed Ryuuga. Apparently someone made fun of him about something that Ryuuga didn't want to tell. He was so frustrated that he needed something to pass that frustation he had inside. None that Dunamis and Kyouya suggested to him worked until some cocky brats had the nerve to sarcastically commented on how weird Ryuuga looked like since the four of us surrounded him like he was sick or something.
That was his last straw though. Yeah, too late. He suddenly took those kids somewhere and beat the hell out of them. It was no problem to Ryuuga though since nobody had the courage to stand up against him so even if those brats complained to their parents, no one can stand a chance.
Back to reality, Madoka look at Ryuuga. He look away and mutter something. Madoka sweatdrop and laugh nervously. That case really got him deep. He must felt bad for it.
"Ryuuga's always like that. He's just protecting his pride but deep down he felt bad too.", it was Kyouya's turn to protest what Yui said.
"Ah, now that I remembered. Ryuuga's a tsundere. Well I guess you're right. I'll let it go this time.", Yui nod with her eyes close. Madoka could tell that she didn't mean what she said on the last part. Yui's always like that.
"Yeah right. Now if I remembered correctly you always teased Madoka and Ryuuga about these caring each other like its something amusing, something to be made fun off and weird but actually you're quite the same too.", Kyouya told with his arms crossed.
"And? What are you trying to point out? Hm?". Oh great, their fight's about to begin.
"That you care for someone else other than Madoka.", Kyouya smirk. This perk up her interest as well as Ryuuga. Yui cared for someone else other that her? Wonder who is it?
"Playing detective are you kid? Well, come on. I wanna see whether your investigation is true or false."
"Stop calling me kid! We're both the same age and you know it!", Kyouya exclaim, clenching his fist.
"Duh, I'm still older than YOU, kid~", Yui playfully replied back which only raise Kyouya's anger.
"Just because you birthday is on 1st January doesn't mean you can call me kid!"
"Hah! The fact remains that my birthday have passed and I'm still older than the rest of you all here.", Yui proudly said that. As they continue their fight, Madoka just let out a sigh.
"This might actually take a while..."
"I don't think so", Ryuuga deny, arms crossed.
"Really?", Madoka ask, confused why he was certain about that.
"Anyway, why don't you just tell me what you were trying to say?", Yui changed back the topic to the previous one. Madoka sweatdrop. It really did happen...
"Told you.", meanwhile back to Kyouya.
"Hmph, eager to know huh? Very well, the person I was about to mention is...", Kyouya stop his sentence which only made Madoka and Ryuuga anxious about the answer while Yui stood there, waiting for his answer.
"Dunamis, am I right?"
"EH? !", that answer made both Madoka and Ryuuga surprised. Yui was surprised too but not as surprised as Madoka and Ryuuga. Kyouya smirk as he knew that his answer was true.
"Ooookay, and your proof?", Yui ask, still with that blank face of her with a little bit of interest. Kyouya cross his arms and look straight at Yui.
"Proof? Seriously, anyone close to you is my proof.". Now that he mentioned it, Yui IS pretty close with Dunamis. Besides, the first time she met Yui too was because of Dunamis. Dunamis asked Madoka whether Yui could work with her and she accepted it because she really needed some help.
"Besides, from my point of view, you looked like you've fallen for him.", that took Madoka by surprised. If it's about how close Yui is with Dunamis, she can still handle that but seriously, Yui LOVES Dunamis? Now that's a one unpredictable thing that she'll never found out. Yui kept silent, her face shows a bit surprised. Madoka, Kyouya and Ryuuga look at her. Does her silence means that what Kyouya said was true? Does that means Kyouya just won his first fight against Yui? Then Yui shows reaction. She had that confused look on her while she scratch her cheek softly.
"Now that you mentioned it, I think I do fall for him."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"She didn't denied it...", Madoka, Kyouya and Ryuuga said unison.
"To be honest, he's quite a good looking guy too. Not to mention his good attitude too.", Yui pointed out Dunamis's good pooints. If Dunamis were here, man, he must be blushing and surprised. Duh, this is Yui you're talking about. The most blunt, sarcastic and an unpredictable girl you ever met. To think that she can also fall for someone, the guy would be lucky and that is Dunamis.
"Of course, if you compare Dunamis with a cerain someone, he's not too plain unlike the other one~", Yui continue her sarcastic side.
"Y-You-!"
"And to think you would go so far to know my secret that even I didn't know, man, you're a one dangerous stalker...", Yui made a fake sad face which only made Kyouya embarrassed.
"Before this you stalk Madoka, and now you stalk me? What are you excatly, a full-fldge stalker? Shame on Kyouya...", Yui tried to act all motherly figure on Kyouya while Kyouya's face start turning redder and redder. Even Madoka's face start to turn red. She had forgotten that Kyouya once followed her before. Ryuuga stood there amused by their act.
"Now look what you done? You made the poor girl blushed like crazy...How troublesome...", Kyouya had it. He was pissed.
"SHUT UP!"
The four of them are at Benkei's place. Yui was smiling to herself, eyes closed and arms crossed. Ryuuga who sat across Yui and beside Kyouya, sip his drink calmly without any care about what others do. Kyouya's face lay flat on his arms, on the table. Madoka, who sat beside Yui and across Kyouya, just laugh nervously at the sight of Kyouya in desperate and tired by the quarrle he had with Yui. He must be tired with all the things Yui said. Not to mention his voice hurts too.
"You should really hold back Yui...", Madoka told the girl beside her. Yui just raise her eyebrow and shrugged.
"I'm merely stating the truth AND what's on my mind just now.", Yui proudly explain which made Madoka sweatdrop. She really give it all out huh? The four of them are currently eating dinner here except for Yui. She's choosing the take-out since she didn't like staying in closed area like these with many people.
Now that Madoka realized, Benkei's new restaurant had open faster than Benkei expected. It was great though. The space was wide and big enough for about 20 tables. It even had second floor. Benkei must be proud to have this restaurant. Right now, the four, or maybe three of them are having dinner here. Yui as usual, order a take-out. Just then, a waiter arrived with out food and Yui's food.
"Well, then. I guess I should go now...", Yui then pay the food at the counter and left with a wave her hand goodbye.
"Will she be alright?", Madoka ask them or more like to herself after Yui left the building. Kyouya just snort.
"Hah, she can take care of herself...with that sarcasm she had all the time.", Kyouya remark with Ryuuga nod in approval. Madoka just pout at them. They didn't know Yui well enough yet. Even if it's true that nobody dare mess around her, she's still a girl. Okay, young lady might be more suitable than girl.
"I hope she'll be alright out there...", she didn't know why but somehow she felt like something bad's going to happen.
Outside was cold. The night air is far different from usual night in another city. It was cold and it's not even winter but the night always felt like on snowy days. Yui then look at her food and smile. At least when she get back home she had some warm food to eat. Just when Yui was a couple of blocks away from her apartment, a group of boys surround her. Yui didn't panicked though. She looked at them and immediately found out that these guys are the bullies that have been mentioned in the news all the time. Slowly she scan her surrounding and realized that this path she took, which people usually use when they got back home, is dead as if no one use it anymore. Talk about irony.
"Do you guys have a problem?", she ask calmly. She wasn't scared. These guys didn't know yet who they're actually messing with. The bullies won't stand a chance with her. The bullies smirk but didn't say anything. She probably knew what they want so they didn't bother to tell. One of them just hand out his hand as if they expect Yui to give them money.
"How naïve of you guys...you'll regret for asking me something.", Yui smirk at them. She looked at them with deadly eyes which surprised the bullies. The sky got darker and lightnings can be seen from a far. That's the sign of raining, Yui thought.
"Bring it on jerks...show me what you got."
Madoka jerk from seat. Not because of anything but the lightning made her surprised. Somehow she felt uncomfortable about it. Something happened.
"You okay Madoka?", Kyouya ask, as he took one bit of his food. Ryuuga just look at her. Madoka on the other hand look at them, laughing nervously. The two boys were confused but they just shrugged it off. Madoka look outside, worried plastered on her face.
'Yui...', Madoka thought as rain slowly began to pour down.
Yui walk down the path, slowly. She took out the bullies by herself. She can be a legend, Yui smile at the thought of that. But even so, she can't escape a bit injury. Though not too severe, her body couldn't take it. No one knew about her. Except for one person...
"Yui?", she didn't even had to turn around to see who it was. Dunamis was there. She felt weak all of the sudden. He might do something later, she thought. Dunamis went closer to her and check on her recent injuries to which Yui immediately pulled away from him and start walking back to her apartment.
"It's nothing...don't worry to much.", she knew that reason won't be enough to convience him but at least she can assure him of something. All of the sudden she was carried and was placed at Dunamis's back. Before she could protest, he cut her off.
"I'm not hearing any more of your reasons. And I'm going to make sure you rest properly. No objections.". Yui was stunned. Then rain start to pour. As they went back to her apartment, Yui lowered her head. She was embarrassed. To be helped by someone like him. Of all people, why him?, she thought.
"...I hate you...", she mutter quietly but Dunamis just smile to himself.
"I know...". As they kept walking under the rain, a tear hid among the rain in the night. Yui cried for the first time at this place.
Done! So how was it? Good? Haha, not! Yui cried? OMG!
Find out why! Hahahaha~!
I love suspence~! xD
