Ok, I'm doing it again. I'm bringing in another set of girls. They'll be
pretty interesting. This is my first Beyblade fic. My friend Star Blaze is
helping me with this one. So, here it is, the first chapter to Glancing
Backwards.
Chapter 1
16-year-old Kylie races down the streets with her best friend Jury. She was tall with long black hair that reached her hips and had blue streaks. Her bangs were an unusual color of grey. Her clothes consisted of torn jeans and a sports bra. Jury was 16 as well and just as tall. Her hair reached a little lower than Kylie's. It was silver with red bangs. Jury usually wore a pair of baggy jeans and a one-sleeved shirt. Kylie's eyes were mismatched. One was chocolate brown while the other was sea green. Jury's eyes were bright blue. Everyone in the town knew them and their friends. They both raced down the street on old skates with Kylie ahead of Jury.
Kylie looked back at her friend: "Come on Jury or we'll be late."
"Yeah. Yeah," Jury said as she sped up to catch up with her friend.
Kylie turned the corner sharply only to run into someone and fall right on top of him. Kylie hit the ground hard. "Ah! Shit!"
Jury poked her head around the corner to see five guys and Kylie sitting on one of them. "And you call me clumsy."
A boy with a red, white, and blue baseball cap ran over to them. "You ok, Kai!?"
"I will be once this brat gets off of me!"
Kylie looks down at him to meet cold chocolate brown eyes, which did great with his dark blue and grey hair. Kylie glared down at him and quickly got off. "I'm not a brat!"
The boy with the cap helped Kai to his feet. Another boy with glasses and a lab top walked over with a blonde boy in orange over-alls and a boy with long black hair tied back and Chinese-looking clothes. A storeowner looked and shook his head. "Kylie!"
"Yeah. Yeah. Come on, Jury. We're gonna be late," Kylie yelled to her friend. She didn't get too far when a girl with light blue hair and brown eyes called out to her.
"There you are!"
Kylie groaned. "Meg, we don't have time for this right now."
"I don't care. Battle me now!" Meg said as she pulled out her beyblade.
Kylie sighed and pulled out hers. Jury went over to a newsstand and began to look at some mangas. Kylie's beyblade was black and red. It had a bit beast as well. The beyblade's launcher was nothing fancy. It looked old and worn out but still worked like a charm. Kai ignored them and began to walk away.
"Sorry about her. She's got an attitude problem," the storeowner said.
"It's alright. Kai's just got an anger problem," Tyson said. His and the other guy's attention was turned to the bey battle when a huge bitbeast came out of Kylie's blade. It glowed black and red. It looked human but with bat-like wings, vampire-like fangs, claws on it's hands and feet, and a long thin tail.
"Whoa!" Tyson said as the bitbeast took to the air.
"That bitbeast. It's huge!" Ray said.
"Reka! Destroy her!" Kylie yelled. The bitbeast flew right at Meg's beyblade. "Tornado of fire!" The bitbeast soon turned into a tornado of fire and crashed into the beyblade melting it a bit before crushing it to pieces.
Meg fell to her knees. "Damn, Kylie. That's the third one this week."
Jury paid for her mangas and skated over: "Your fault."
Kylie caught her beyblade: "Build a blade that can withstand my tornado of fire. Then come ad see me for a rematch."
Max ran over with Ray and Tyson: "That was so cool!"
Kylie blinked at them surprised a bit. No one had ever come up to them like that and tell them how good they thought she and Jury were.
"That was amazing!" Ray said.
"Um, thanks. I guess," Kylie said with a raised eyebrow. She was relieved when a girl with black hair pulled back into a ponytail and a backwards baseball cap came running up to them.
"There you two are," the girl said as she ran up to them.
"Hey, Tyran," Kylie greeted her friend. Tyran was another person like her and Jury who owned a bitbeast. She was a big fan of the Bladebreakers. Her hair reached the center of her back when not in a hair tie. Her eyes were sky blue and shined with purity. She wore a pair of baggy jeans with a loose cut-off shirt and a jacket that hung around her hips. Tyran began to talk with Kylie and Jury.
"Um, I think we should follow Kai you guys," Kenny said as he looked at his leader who was already pretty far ahead of them.
"Good idea Kenney," Ray said as he took another look at the girls.
Tyran's ears perked when she heard that name and turned to them. "No way!! Bladebreakers!?"
Tyson blinked at her. "Um, yeah. How did you know?"
Tyran pulled out her blade and showed it to them. "Anyone in this town who blades knows you guys." Tyran's blade was blue and white with sharp blades that could chop a blade t pieces.
"That looks similar to Dragoon," Tyson said as he fished his blade out of his pocket.
Tyran replaced her blade back into her pocket. "Well, it's not."
"I know," Tyson said as he showed her Dragoon. "No one can compare to Dragoon."
"Wanna bet," Tyran said with a smirk.
"We don't have time Tyran. Maria, Gizzy, and Sarah are waiting for us now," Jury said. Maria was a girl who came to the town from Mexico. Gizzy was a computer wiz who was also a big fan of the Bladebreakers. Sarah was Kylie's identical twin sister. The only ways to tell them apart were their hair and their eyes. Sarah's hair didn't have the streaks and her eye colors were reversed.
"Then let's go," Kylie said before speeding off down the street. Jury quickly followed.
"Guys, I don't have skates! Oh, damn," Tyran yelled before speeding off into an alley.
Tyson blinked at them. "Well, that was weird."
He and the others quickly went after Kai. Only seconds after that, a girl looking identical to Kylie ran through and skidded to a stop in front of the newsstand. "Hey, pops."
The man looked up and smiles. "Hello, Sarah."
"Do you know where Kylie ran off to," Sarah said a little out of breath.
"She went to meet up with the others," the man replied.
"Damn! I'm dead. Thanks pops. Gotta run," Sarah called as she ran down the street and past Tyson and the others.
Tyson blinked: "I thought she had skates on earlier." He watched as Sarah skid to a stop nearly hitting the ground and turned down another street.
"This is getting weirder and weirder," Ray said as he watched Sarah disappear down the street. Neither he nor the others has any idea that it wasn't Kylie at all but her sister instead.
Sarah raced through alleys until she came to a dead end where Kylie was leaning on the wall, Jury was sitting on a dumpster next to a blonde haired girl, and a girl with light brown hair and a lab top who was sitting on an old crate.
"You're late," Kylie said.
"Way late," Jury added.
"How many?" Kylie asked.
Sarah held up a necklace that had several hexagon shaped pieces on it: "Five."
Kylie held up hers: "Seven."
The blonde haired girl held up hers: "Four." The blonde girl was Maria. She had dark skin and blonde hair that reached just below her chin. She wore a pair of torn jeans and a tank top. She also had a bandana over her hair. Her eyes were a deep blue.
Jury held up her pieces: "I got seven as well."
Tyran took hers out: "Six."
The girl with the lab top began to type. "Good, we're half way there." The girl's name was Karol, but people started to call her Gizzy, short for Gizmo. She had light brown hair that she let hang loose around her shoulders and face. Her brown eyes never missed a thing when it came to beyblading or fighting. The team of girls always fought in tournaments to win money that they desperately needed. The hexagon pieces were awarded to the winner of the fights held on the street. When a team reached a certain number of pieces, they qualified for the tournament. The winner was rewarded with $25,000 and was automatically entered in the next tournament.
"If, we're only have way there then we need to get some more. Let's spread out and get some more," Kylie said. The other girls nodded before running off into different directions. Gizzy stayed where she was. She wasn't much of a fighter and was still learning. She pulled her weight whenever she could.
Jury turned and yelled at Kylie: "And it was Kai of the freakin Bladebreakers!"
Kylie shrugged before turning around and speeding off. "Kai huh? Just my luck." She continued to look around for someone who looked like they'd be a challenge. She finally found someone who looked worth fighting. He was tall and well built. Kylie smirked as she went up to him seeing the glinting pieces around his neck. "Hey, you," Kylie yelled at him. He stopped walking and turned around to face her. She stopped right in front of him and smirked. "I challenge you."
The guy smirked as well. "Alright. You're on."
The people around them began to gather around in a circle to watch the fight. Kylie kicked off her skates as she got ready to fight him.
Tyson looked around as he walked down the street. They had all split up going their own ways to explore the town. He and Max went together while Kai and ray went off on their own and Kenny went back to the hotel. He soon spotted the crowd of people. "What's going on over there?"
"Not sure. Let's go check it out," Max said as he and Tyson ran over and watched.
Kylie stretched a bit before dropping into a fighting stance. The object of the street fights was to take the pieces. You didn't have to beat the person down or anything. You just had to be fast enough to take the pieces. You could only take them was if each person agreed to a match. The guy smirked and charged at her. Kylie rolled her eyes. "Why does everyone do this," she said before jumping into the air over him and grabbing the pieces before launching herself off his back and landing in a crouch. "That makes a total of 15," Kylie said as she put her skates back on. Tyson and Max blinked at her. She quickly sped off as the crowd parted.
"Wasn't that the girl we saw earlier?" Max asked.
Tyson nodded. "Yeah, but what was that all about?"
"A challenge."
Tyson and Max turned to see the same man that they had talked to earlier. "Those girls are in a tournament. They're fighting for those pieces. Those girls have no money, so they fight in the tournament every year to win money to live off of," the man explained.
"How do you know? Do you know them?" Max asked.
The man nodded. "Everyone here knows the Whispering Wolves. It's a surprised they're not in the tour books yet."
"But I thought that one girl only beybladed," Tyson said.
The man shook his head. "They do beyblade but they also fight. They're the best this town has ever seen in both competitions. The one that you just saw is Kylie, one of the two leaders. A word of warning, never piss the leaders off."
"There are two leaders?" Max asked. This team sounded strange. Never had either of them heard there being two leaders of a team.
The man nodded once more. "The other leader is Jury. There she is now," the man said as Jury came walkin down the other side of the street with Maria.
"So now you have twenty? That was fast. I got eight," Maria said.
"Good, and I got some money for us to use," Jury said.
"Good, we need it," Maria said.
Meanwhile, Kylie was skating around alleys. She was zoned out thinking and didn't see Kai until the last minuet when she swerved to the right and ended up going up a board that was leaning against a dumpster and went flying over Kai hitting the ground hard.
Kai stopped and looked at her. "Don't think I didn't see you." Kylie got back up with only a scrape of two and nothing more. Kai glared at her. "At least you didn't hit me this time." Kylie just flicked him off before heading back down the alley. Kai snorted before heading down the street again.
Kylie didn't get far before she was picked up by her hair. Kylie looked back to see the guy she had defeated earlier holding her a foot or two above the ground. "Hey! Put me down!" Kylie yelled.
"I'll get you for what you did. You humiliated me," the guy sneered.
"Your own damn fault," Kylie said in a cold voice as her eyes darkened. Her body began to heat up lightly as her blood literally began to boil. She wasn't expecting what happened next.
Kai was there and had grabbed the guy's arm. "Don't you know that's harassment?"
Kylie blinked at him before glaring. "I can handle this without your help. Have a nice day."
Kai glared at her before letting the guy go. "Whatever." He then turned around and left as the guy growled at him.
Kylie used this distraction to quickly kick the guy in the jaw sending him through the wall next to him and landed on the ground in a crouch position. She then skated off down the street to find Gizzy.
Kai brushed past Jury and Maria. Maria stopped and looked at him. "Please tell me I'm seeing thing. Was that Kai?"
"Yep. Kylie ran into him earlier today," Jury said as they continued down the street.
"Just her luck," Maria said as she tried to keep up with her friend. She didn't have skates so she had to walk a little faster to keep up. "I bet you she's already in trouble. Tyran the same."
"Wouldn't doubt it. Hey, take these and give them to Gizzy. I'm gonna go and pick up some food," Jury said as she took off her necklace and handed Maria the pieces. She then took off down the street and towards the store. Maria shook her head and continued on home. Jury swerved into the store. An old man was standing behind the counter. "Hey, gramps."
The old man looked up and smiles. Jury had been coming in a lot to pick up food when she could get money. He worried when she didn't come at all some weeks. This was the only store the girls really trusted. "Hello Jury. Come for some more food I see."
"Yep," Jury said as she skated along the ales picking up food here and there. The old man shook his head and looked up as Ray walked in and looked around. Jury soon came back and set the food on the counter. The old man quickly rang them up and took the money that Jury handed him. He then gave her the bags and the change.
"You take care of those girls now, ya hear?" the old man said.
Jury smiled. "Yes sir. I always do," Jury said before speeding off.
"Then why are Tyran and Kylie always in trouble!?" the old man yelled.
"Their fault!" Jury yelled back.
The old man laughed and shook his head. "Who was that?" The man turned to see Ray standing there.
"That's Jury. One of the two leaders of the Whispering Wolves."
"Sounds awesome."
The old man thought about that for a moment. "Yes, in a way it is, but in a way it's sad. You see, they beyblade and fight for money that they need to buy food."
"Wow. That is kinda sad," Ray said as he looked off in the direction Jury skated off to.
Jury continued to skate home. If home was what you'd call it. It was an old house that belonged to an old couple who had died a while back. No one came to collect the things, so everything was left the way it was. No one wanted it so the girls moved into it. It was very old with creaky boards and broken windows. The water didn't work but there was a creak near-by. The paint on the house was discolored and pealing off. The door barely hung on its old, rusty hinges. Jury skated up to the house and inside. "I'm back."
"Welcome back," Tyran said as she walked in.
Jury went over into the kitchen and began to put the things away. "I got some food but try to make it last. It's all we got for now."
"We will, Jury," Tyran said as she followed her friend and helped to put the small amount of food away.
Jury grabbed an apple and went up onto the roof where Kylie sat looking out at the sunset. They took turns watching for people every night allowing Maria, Gizzy, and Tyran to sleep all night. The place only had two beds. Tyran and Maria shared one while Gizzy slept on the other. The other girls just slept on the floor.
Jury sat down next to Kylie and offered her the apple. Kylie just shook her head. Living out on the streets with hardly any food took its toll on her. If she lifted her arms up out in front of her, you could practically count every rib in her chest. She began to not eat a lot since her body had gotten use to nights without food. Jury was the same way only she wasn't as thin as Kylie.
"Hey, that old lady on Lilly Street needs her garden tended to," Jury said as she looked out at the small town.
"I'll go and do that tomorrow morning," Kylie replied.
"I got a job to stack newspapers once a week at the newsstand," Jury said as she took a bite out of the apple. "We need to get some more jobs though, but with the blade breakers here and all. . ." Jury didn't need to finish her sentence.
"What about them. Them being here wont change a damn thing," Kylie said.
Jury snorted. "Yeah right. You know how big of a fan Tyran and Gizzy are of them."
"That's true. Which means they are not allowed anywhere near them," Kylie said as she continued to look out at the town as the sun set even lower.
"Good idea, but you know they'll slip through our fingers," Jury said before throwing the finished apple away.
"You just keep an eye on Gizzy. I'll handle my sister," Kylie said as she crossed her legs and twisted her beyblade between her fingers.
"Right," Jury said as she looked back out at the town. The sun set behind the hills beyond the town. The town lights soon lit up. This was Jury and Kylie's favorite thing to do. Watching the lights was like glancing back at their past. So many memories that lit up in their minds.
Like it? Hate it? Tell me what you think. Please review.
Chapter 1
16-year-old Kylie races down the streets with her best friend Jury. She was tall with long black hair that reached her hips and had blue streaks. Her bangs were an unusual color of grey. Her clothes consisted of torn jeans and a sports bra. Jury was 16 as well and just as tall. Her hair reached a little lower than Kylie's. It was silver with red bangs.

Jury poked her head around the corner to see five guys and Kylie sitting on one of them. "And you call me clumsy."
A boy with a red, white, and blue baseball cap ran over to them. "You ok, Kai!?"
"I will be once this brat gets off of me!"
Kylie looks down at him to meet cold chocolate brown eyes, which did great with his dark blue and grey hair. Kylie glared down at him and quickly got off. "I'm not a brat!"
The boy with the cap helped Kai to his feet. Another boy with glasses and a lab top walked over with a blonde boy in orange over-alls and a boy with long black hair tied back and Chinese-looking clothes. A storeowner looked and shook his head. "Kylie!"
"Yeah. Yeah. Come on, Jury. We're gonna be late," Kylie yelled to her friend. She didn't get too far when a girl with light blue hair and brown eyes called out to her.
"There you are!"
Kylie groaned. "Meg, we don't have time for this right now."
"I don't care. Battle me now!" Meg said as she pulled out her beyblade.
Kylie sighed and pulled out hers. Jury went over to a newsstand and began to look at some mangas. Kylie's beyblade was black and red. It had a bit beast as well. The beyblade's launcher was nothing fancy. It looked old and worn out but still worked like a charm. Kai ignored them and began to walk away.
"Sorry about her. She's got an attitude problem," the storeowner said.
"It's alright. Kai's just got an anger problem," Tyson said. His and the other guy's attention was turned to the bey battle when a huge bitbeast came out of Kylie's blade. It glowed black and red. It looked human but with bat-like wings, vampire-like fangs, claws on it's hands and feet, and a long thin tail.
"Whoa!" Tyson said as the bitbeast took to the air.
"That bitbeast. It's huge!" Ray said.
"Reka! Destroy her!" Kylie yelled. The bitbeast flew right at Meg's beyblade. "Tornado of fire!" The bitbeast soon turned into a tornado of fire and crashed into the beyblade melting it a bit before crushing it to pieces.
Meg fell to her knees. "Damn, Kylie. That's the third one this week."

Her hair reached the center of her back when not in a hair tie. Her eyes were sky blue and shined with purity. She wore a pair of baggy jeans with a loose cut-off shirt and a jacket that hung around her hips. Tyran began to talk with Kylie and Jury.
"Um, I think we should follow Kai you guys," Kenny said as he looked at his leader who was already pretty far ahead of them.
"Good idea Kenney," Ray said as he took another look at the girls.
Tyran's ears perked when she heard that name and turned to them. "No way!! Bladebreakers!?"
Tyson blinked at her. "Um, yeah. How did you know?"
Tyran pulled out her blade and showed it to them. "Anyone in this town who blades knows you guys." Tyran's blade was blue and white with sharp blades that could chop a blade t pieces.
"That looks similar to Dragoon," Tyson said as he fished his blade out of his pocket.
Tyran replaced her blade back into her pocket. "Well, it's not."
"I know," Tyson said as he showed her Dragoon. "No one can compare to Dragoon."
"Wanna bet," Tyran said with a smirk.
"We don't have time Tyran. Maria, Gizzy, and Sarah are waiting for us now," Jury said. Maria was a girl who came to the town from Mexico. Gizzy was a computer wiz who was also a big fan of the Bladebreakers. Sarah was Kylie's identical twin sister. The only ways to tell them apart were their hair and their eyes.

Kylie blinked at him before glaring. "I can handle this without your help. Have a nice day."

The old man looked up and smiles. Jury had been coming in a lot to pick up food when she could get money. He worried when she didn't come at all some weeks. This was the only store the girls really trusted. "Hello Jury. Come for some more food I see."

Jury soon came back and set the food on the counter. The old man quickly rang them up and took the money that Jury handed him. He then gave her the bags and the change.
"You take care of those girls now, ya hear?" the old man said.

"Wow. That is kinda sad," Ray said as he looked off in the direction Jury skated off to.
Jury continued to skate home. If home was what you'd call it. It was an old house that belonged to an old couple who had died a while back. No one came to collect the things, so everything was left the way it was. No one wanted it so the girls moved into it. It was very old with creaky boards and broken windows. The water didn't work but there was a creak near-by. The paint on the house was discolored and pealing off. The door barely hung on its old, rusty hinges. Jury skated up to the house and inside. "I'm back."
"Welcome back," Tyran said as she walked in.
Jury went over into the kitchen and began to put the things away. "I got some food but try to make it last. It's all we got for now."
"We will, Jury," Tyran said as she followed her friend and helped to put the small amount of food away.
Jury grabbed an apple and went up onto the roof where Kylie sat looking out at the sunset. They took turns watching for people every night allowing Maria, Gizzy, and Tyran to sleep all night. The place only had two beds. Tyran and Maria shared one while Gizzy slept on the other. The other girls just slept on the floor.
Jury sat down next to Kylie and offered her the apple. Kylie just shook her head. Living out on the streets with hardly any food took its toll on her. If she lifted her arms up out in front of her, you could practically count every rib in her chest. She began to not eat a lot since her body had gotten use to nights without food. Jury was the same way only she wasn't as thin as Kylie.
"Hey, that old lady on Lilly Street needs her garden tended to," Jury said as she looked out at the small town.
"I'll go and do that tomorrow morning," Kylie replied.
"I got a job to stack newspapers once a week at the newsstand," Jury said as she took a bite out of the apple. "We need to get some more jobs though, but with the blade breakers here and all. . ." Jury didn't need to finish her sentence.
"What about them. Them being here wont change a damn thing," Kylie said.
Jury snorted. "Yeah right. You know how big of a fan Tyran and Gizzy are of them."
"That's true. Which means they are not allowed anywhere near them," Kylie said as she continued to look out at the town as the sun set even lower.
"Good idea, but you know they'll slip through our fingers," Jury said before throwing the finished apple away.
"You just keep an eye on Gizzy. I'll handle my sister," Kylie said as she crossed her legs and twisted her beyblade between her fingers.
"Right," Jury said as she looked back out at the town. The sun set behind the hills beyond the town. The town lights soon lit up. This was Jury and Kylie's favorite thing to do. Watching the lights was like glancing back at their past. So many memories that lit up in their minds.
