Indigo Jupiter, Queen misty, PK Styles, Destructor of the world, and a Guest! It really helps, and I'm glad people are enjoying this. Anyways, on with the story!
DISCLAIMER: I sadly don't own Beyblade
Gou POV
Hiro decided to hold a dinner for all of the competitors. Currently I was getting ready, considering it was a formal dinner. I smirked as I began to think of Makoto's shocked face when Hiro told all of us we needed formal wear. I chuckled, though not for long as I recalled Tara would be there… I still can't believe I'm in the same hotel as Tara. I cringed just thinking about it. It wouldn't be as bad if Tara wasn't super obsessive every single time I began talking to Rin. Seriously, she has to be related to Houdini considering how many times she appeared near me and Rin out of thin air.
Tomorrow, the Cairo part of the tournament would start. Damn, I really should've gotten more training in! But to be honest Rin dragged everyone out to see everything. My face reddened as I got ready. I was wearing a formal black suit and dress shoes, my single silver stud earing gleaming. I laughed recalling Makoto's face back in Japan when I informed him guys could wear earrings. "Jeez, Makoto is a real idiot, huh?" Dranzer told me. Nah… He's more oblivious than stupid in my opinion. I could practically feel Dranzer raising an eyebrow. "Did you just defend Makoto?" Dranzer asked, sincerely confused. I laughed. We may be rivals, but even rivals must respect each other. You should know considering that's what my father always says.
I arrived in the lobby before everyone else, so I decided to sit down for a little bit. Aleks and Viktor arrived soon after, so I decided to catch up with them. After that Rin arrived in a dark blue dress, being escorted by Cameron. Makoto was behind them (drooling at Rin) wearing one of my suits, which was too big for him. I remember the look on his face when Hiro told him he had to borrow one from me. Mark wore an odd bright orange suit that looked like it was straight from Dumb and Dumber… Surprisingly it actually looked decent. I said farewell to Aleks and Viktor, hoping to get there early to find a suitable hiding spot for myself. Wow… Seriously I need to get counseling about this, uh, issue of mine.
When we arrived, we were greeted by Emilio running up to Rin, holding a rose and trying to kiss her hand. He was greeted, by my fist in his gut. Soon after there was apparently a sweet sixteen happening at the restaurant, and as soon as they saw me, I had a mob on my hands. When I finally lost them, Tara was already looking for me and Emilio was pestering me.
"Gou! Please teach me your ways! I have never seen a teenage girl mob that big or demanding! TEACH ME!" Emilio begged, causing a vein to appear on my forehead. "WHAT THE HELL MAKES YOU THINK I DO THIS ON PURPOSE?!" I exclaimed, causing Tara's head to turn. "Oh crap!" I muttered as Tara ran over. "Gou! Where've you been?" Tara exclaimed, hugging me. "Get off of me!" I yelled.
Luckily, Mark tried calling me over. Realizing my situation, he dragged me away from Tara. "Thanks man, I didn't know how long I could last between Emilio and Tara." I thanked Mark. I looked around seeing a couple of different teams. Familiar ones, such as the Majestics, the All Starz, and the Blitzkrieg Kids acknowledged me. There were a couple of new teams as well. I learned from Mark that there was a Spanish team known as F-Dynasty, which consisted of two red and brown dual haired siblings and a blond teammate. I also learned about a second European team, known as Reformed Battalion, which forfeited due to their team captain being injured.
Rin soon walked over, and Mark suspiciously needed to use the restroom, leaving me and Rin alone together. Soon enough Tara arrived, looking pissed. "Seriously Rin? Trying to steal my Gou I see!" Tara told Rin, gripping my arm so much it hurts. "Uh, Tara can you stop please your kind of hurting…" I began, but was interrupted by Tara. "And you Gou! I can't believe you at all! What do you see in this hussie?!" Tara asked angrily. "Hey who're you calling a hussie?! I haven't even done anything to you!" Rin exclaimed, seeming more confused than angry. "Oh please! I know you're just after Gou! You're just like all the others, chase after a handsome guy whose somebody else's just for their looks!" Tara told Rin, rising in height (as Rin was taller than her). "First of all me and Gou are just friends!" Why does that comment for some reason hurt? "Hahaha! Gou just got FRIENDZONED!" Dranzer said, howling with laughter. WHAT? "Come on! That's why it hurts, because you want you and Rin to be something more, hm?" Dranzer explained, still giggling. Jeez, you're almost as bad as Rin's mom… Suddenly I remembered the embarrassing time after walking Rin home. How can her mom ask so many questions, and how would I already know what career path I wish to pursue? "Mariah can see it the same way I can see it!" Are you sure you're not female? "I'm pretty sure I'm male…" Dranzer paused, "Yup, definantly male." YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT?!
Mark POV
I excused myself to use the restroom, to give Gou and Rin some… Alone time. I actually was just trying to keep all the other's busy so they wouldn't bother Gou and Rin. It was really hard to keep Makoto occupied, considering he is really jealous every time I say Gou and Rin in the same sentence. I've gotta say, its impressive how oblivious Gou and Rin are to each other's feelings… I kind of get Gou's feelings being hard to decipher, considering most of the time he's stoic, but there are little hints here and there. Like his little performance back in China. That was so romantic! Rin gets injured by Feng, Gou saves Rin and then defeats Feng out of anger! It's just like all of mom's dramas!
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! The Love Doctor returns once again! I decided to add some more Gou and Rin moments. Not to mention a little cat fight for Indigo Jupiter! I even laughed when writing the Gou and Dranzer conversation, I love writing them because Dranzer (much to Gou's chagrin) is really similar to Gou in the wit department. Anyways, see you next time on… Beyblade New Generation!
