Team Traitor
'Hilary is being plain stupid' Tyson stormed to himself 'How can she just go off like that? Am I that bad a boyfriend to her? Why couldn't she confide in me?'
The young teen was busily trying out new moves with his bey blade. But his mind was absolutely worked up. He wanted to come to a conclusion. His mind wandered around, and landed on Kai.
'Kai' he thought angrily 'you low down, good-for-nothing scum! This is entirely your fault. I shall have my revenge still!'
His Dragoon zipped about angrily. Tyson's bit beast was channeling his anger and frustration. It went and hit the side of wall.
'That's it. I just have to go after my girlfriend, don't I?' Tyson blade kept spinning, as though replying in the affirmative.
Little did he know that his team mates would start calling him a traitor for going after Hilary. Of course, they called Hilary a traitor too for leaving them behind, and going in search of her Jules.
"I can't believe you were cheering Mariam on, Max!" grumbled Ray, when he the blonde boy met on their way to Tyson's dojo.
"Well, I can't believe you supported Mariah!" Max shot back at him.
"She's my friend!"
"She's mine!"
The two friends glared at one another.
"You're being a team traitor, Max" Ray finally managed to say through gritted teeth.
"And so are you!" Max's voice had a coldness attached to it.
"I'm warning you Max, those guys could seriously harm you!"
"That's rich…seeing both the teams were after your bit-beast and did manage to capture it!"
"What did you say?!"
They wrestled one another on to the floor. They were blinded by love and so much, they forgot about friendship!
"Break it up, guys!"
"What's going on?"
"Huh?" Max and Ray chorused.
Looking up, they saw Mariah and Mariam staring down at them. They were a sight. Ray was clutching Max's t-shirt tightly, and Max's hand held his belt with full force. At the sound of the girls' voices, both boys relaxed their grips.
Mariah scratched her head uncertainly.
Mariam reached out to pull Max off the ground.
"Why were you two fighting?" asked Mariah, somewhat astonished.
"We-were-we-"stammered Ray. His voice faltered at Mariah's narrowed eyes. He was quite petrified of her when she got annoyed.
"Rolling around in the grass" supplied Max, lamely. He was standing next to Mariam now. He looked at Ray (who was still on the ground); he quietly communicated with him to play along.
"Yeah, you know what we are like" grinned Ray, sheepishly "Always goofing around! Learnt it from Tyson!"
He picked himself up.
Mariam spoke, "Very funny, Einstein. There's no grass here – just the pavement in front of Tyson's house."
Sweat drop appeared on Max and Ray's heads.
"Well, even the pavements good!" Max replied brightly.
It was the girls' turn to sweat drop.
'Kai, why did you go off?' Hilary thought, as she trudged the hill. The climb was extremely painful for her. 'I do love you. But not in the same way.'
She reached quite near the top.
'Think I am going to rest now' she made herself comfortable 'I wonder where my bit-beast has gone.'
"I am sorry" a voice said.
Hilary looked up. Kai was standing there, right next to her, arms folded and looking at the river. Hilary's surprise passed, and was replaced with happiness.
"It wasn't your fault" she said, softly "I put too much energy into my blade."
"I am not sorry for knocking you out of the stadium." Kai cut across her.
"Th-then?" stammered Hilary.
"For what is about to happen tomorrow…I am sorry."
With that, he walked off. Hilary knew it would be pointless to go after him. He would never tell her what he was sorry for. She'd just have to find out for herself.
'He lied to me' she thought suddenly to herself 'he bloody lied to me. He is in love with me. Or else why would he come all the way here to apologize? Why didn't I freaking realize it before?'
She considered for a moment.
'But why did he have to jump ship? He's a team traitor! That's what!'
Kai visited Greendale shortly after his little rendezvous with Hilary. The young girl who kept Manila's Bakery was there behind the counter. She looked more beautiful than ever. But he noticed something new.
A metal ring on her ring finger.
She didn't wait for him. She had got betrothed to the first boy who had come and proposed her after Kai left.
He exchanged no words with her. Just quietly took the loaf of bread and paid up for it. Things weren't so pretty in his world any more.
He was angered beyond measure. He needed to blame someone.
'Tyson' he thought bitterly 'I lose everything I love because of him. But now, it's his turn to lose! Watch out, Tyson, watch out!'
"Dizzie, what's happening now?" asked Kenny to his laptop, as he worked furiously on the stats of the Blade Breakers.
"Well, if you ask me Chief, I think there are way too many traitors on this team!" she replied.
This author couldn't agree more!
