Chapter 2:

Kenny paced the room. Since it was the weekend he'd had two days to dwell on this information and the more he thought about it the bigger a problem he had. He could A.) Keep quiet and feel he was betraying his bestfriend B.) Tell his bestfriend and get battered by his teammate or C.) Confront Hilary [who seemed a better option than Kai who would probably knock his block off] Neither of these options were very appealing but one of them had to be chosen. He decided to go for the guilt trip. "so are you going to take my advice and stay out of it chief?" asked Dizzi gently. "It's their problem not mine I can't believe she's doing this to Tyson man. And Kai... well Kai's always been a bit bitter but I never thought he'd steal his friends girl!" "She was never his chief." Sighed Dizzi. "She was her own girl and if she wants to be Kai's girl then, then let her chief."

Hilary had improved over the weekend and could now actually get the blade to do a simple forward movement left and right turns before she fainted. Kai was a bit concerned though. He voiced this at their practice session. "You shouldn't keep passing out like this." He said. "It might not be anything to do with the beyblading teenage girls have a tendency to..." "That's crap and you know it." He said. "What we really need is Dizzi's help on this." He continued thoughtfully. "I don't think Kenny's pleased with me learning how to blade he'd probably tell me to leave well enough alone." "You're right." She sat up and got to her feet. She set up the launcher. She took several deep breaths before launching the blade. "3-2-1." She whispered pulling the ripcord. The blade shot around the embankment causing clouds of dust to rise. "Are you controlling it or is it doing it's own thing?" Kai asked. Hilary didn't answer she was staring straight ahead. Not at the blade at the sky. She was off with the fairies again. Kai snapped his fingers in front of her face. She was very difficult at times. He placed his hands on her shoulders and shook her slightly. No response. "Oi Hilary." He said. Her eyes were frosted almost staring straight ahead of her. The best thing he could do was stop the blade and let her ride it out. He picked up Derega. Hilary collapsed on the rough ground. He sighed. Hopeless.

"I knew there was something I forgot to bring." Hilary said when she came too she rubbed her head. "Pillows!" she sat up shakily. "Maybe that's too much for today." "I don't want to stop." "Hilary you'll end up killing yourself!" he said. She knew he was being sensible. Plus it was late on a school night. "Yeah you're right." She said.

The next day at school Hilary arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed. "Morning!" she said to the class. Kenny glared at her. She shrugged. She had no idea what was so wrong with her learning to blade. She was as much entitled to as he was. Max waved at her. She smiled brightly. "Hello Max." Ray nodded towards her. "Hey Ray." She added. Tyson looked at her but then immediatley back to the girl in front who was asking for his autograph. She was acting soppy. "Hey wait a minute you're not in this class." Hilary said. "Yeah so what you going to do about it geek?" asked the bossy blonde. "I'm class representative need I remind you?" "Yeah like I said geek. With a capital G." "Oh look you can spell." She said sarcastically. "You watch your mouth runt. Oh no better yet watch your back!" the girl said standing up to full height she was a lot taller than Hilary. A lot older. And a lot prettier. The whole class was watching. "Is that a threat?" she asked amused. If Kai had taught her one thing it was to stick up for herself. Whether it was against Tyson, or Kate she needed to stand her ground.

"So what if it is midget what're you going to do put me in detention. I'm so scared." She said faking it. The whole class laughed. Hilary smirked. "No I couldn't do that, you might break a nail." She simpered. The whole class fell silent. "What is that supposed to be an insult?" "Big word, supposed, I suppose it's half your vocabulary!" Kate sneered. "Very cute Hayley." "Hilary!" she corrected. "Very cute Hilary, but cute will get you nowhere." The teacher was hiding behind her desk. As she usually did [Miss concade she always makes us laugh]. "Yeah but it'll get me further than you!" she said. "At least I have a boyfriend he seems to think I'll get further than you." "Yeah you'll get to last base with him! And who said I didn't have a boyfriend." The class started cheering her on. "Who in their right mind would go out with you. And are you implying that I'm a slag?" "What's the deal with the big words finally found out the dictionary has other uses than to dry your nails on." The kids laughed. Max looked tempted to get up and drag Hilary away before something bad happened but Kai held him back. "Let her deal with it it's her fight. She's always harping on about she needs to be independent, so let her be." He said wisely.

The next thing that happened got the whole class reeling. Kate slapped Hilary. The crack echoed around the classroom. Someone swore. Miss concade bit her lip. Hilary looked down. That hurt. Of course she wasn't about to let her know that. She didn't know what took over her. The straight A student. Little miss perfect. Whatever labels she might have had previously were shed. She pounced on Kate knocking her backward over Tyson's desk. She mercilessly threw a blow at every part of Kate she could reach. Kai took hold of Hilary's collar and easily picked her up pulling her away from Kate who was crying bleeding and having pretty much the ultimate hissy fit. "She...deserved it!" Hilary breathed. "You... you little bitch you attacked me!" "WANNA GO AGAIN!" she yelled struggling from Kai's grasp. He held her back. She fumed. Miss concade winced. She really didn't like fighting usually it was just Tyson and Hilary having a mess about possibly flirting but nothing heavy. "Cool it Hil, she's not worth it." Kai whispered to her. Hilary calmed down. She nodded. Kenny frowned. What the hell did Kai say to get her to calm down so fast.

Tyson lead Kate from the room crying. Hilary frowned. It wasn't that she was in the wrong class that had bugged her it wasn't that she was slagging her off full pelt. It was because she was flirting with Tyson. What was happening to her? "Hilary Tatiba I hope you know as class representitive that you now face exclusion from school." Hilary hung her head. The adrenaline was wearing off now suddenly her actions seemed not only stupid but irresponsible. "Y...Yes...Miss." she muttered. Kai was still holding her collar. She winced as this hurt slightly. She started crying and pulling herself from his vice grip fled from the classroom. She passed Tyson who had just dropped Kate off at the nurses office. He didn't know what was happening with her and ignored her as she ran across.

Kai waited on her doorstep after he'd rang the doorbell. "Are you not up to training today?" He asked her the second she came to the door. She didn't look so hot. Her eyes were red as though she'd been crying. Tears stained her cheeks. Her hair was unkempt and she was shaking slightly. "School called... five days exclusion." She whispered. She took a step backward inviting him in. he followed her up to her tidy bedroom. She sat on the bed. "I got too carried away." She said. Kai shook his head. "I did, I, I was trying to follow your advice and stick up for myself but I ended up, I ended up becoming everything I always hated." She cried. She hid her head in her hands. Kai frowned. Girls were so soppy. He sat on the edge of the bed. "And if it had been me in that situation what do you think I'd have done." "Walked away?" she asked muffled. He shook his head prying her hands from her face. "I'd have done exactly the same." He said. She smiled. "Thanks." She whispered. She seemed calmed down. "Thanks for what?" he asked becoming cold and looking at the wall. She smiled knowing this was all an act. "You know for what... I mean what for... I mean see! I've been away from school one day and I have the verbal skills of a potato!" She laughed. He smirked.

"Up for a practice." they went down to their usual spot only to find Kenny was already there waiting impatiently. "What the hell do you think you're doing Hilary?" He asked. No he demanded. "You've been at this for a few days and suddenly you're a total rebel!" he said. "You can't do this!" Hilary frowned. "I'm sick of people telling me what I can and can't do what you think I'm not good enough?" "No I think you're too good you can do better Hilary! And you..." he turned on Kai. "You make me sick going through with all this to hurt Tyson." Hilary glared. "You have no right to say that Kenny..." she said. "What're you going to do hit me like you hit Kate go on." He said. "I dare you." He warned. Kai leaned over. And whispered. "If you think you're ready offer to battle Kenny's pretty much a rookie." She looked at him. He nodded. "Right." She said.

"Kenny you think you're so tough?" she asked. Kenny suddenly seemed a lot smaller than usual. "Put your beyblade where your mouth is!" she said pulling out Derega. Kenny looked confused. "Just do it big shot." She said. She knew she could barely control her blade for five minutes without fainting but if she was lucky today was her day. Kenny totally confused pulled out a beyblade with no bitbeast. He set it up leaving Dizzi on a rock filming the whole thing. "3-2-1... Let it rip!" she called. Kenny threw his blade towards Derega. Hilary neatly dodged and avoided his attack. She knew if she called out her bitbeast it might help but if she did that she risked losing by fainting. She was already feeling a little bit dizzy as it was. She wouldn't last much longer. Kai knew this. She charged towards Kenny's blade. He flew around the other side and came up for another attack. She winced the pain was getting too much. The next attack sent her head in a tizzy. Kai realised what was happening. She glared. She was determined. "Come on Derega do this!" she said. Her blade with a burst of energy hit Kenny's and knocked it flying back into Kenny's hand. She grinned. She'd won. She didn't have enough energy to cheer. She fell backwards into Kai's arms. He smiled he was proud of her she'd actually defeated her first opponent. Kenny looked confused. "Since when could she blade?" he asked. "We told you since just after the fight." Kenny looked puzzled. "Looks like you jumped to conclusions chief." Said Dizzi smartly. "Sorry I thought you two were dating to get back at Tyson I guess I should stop making assumptions." Kai rolled his eyes. "Why'd she faint?" he asked. "I don't know it seems she can't last five minutes without passing out." "It could be the power surge... or erm... well is she eating properly?" He shrugged. "I think we already established I'm not her boyfriend I wouldn't know would I?" "Well she could be anorexic she could be anaemic she could be ill or the blade could be causing it." "She only seems to faint when she's blading." He said.

"Well people with cyber bit beasts tend to do that so it is possible the powers too much for her. She's never faced this before." "She's getting stronger though!" he protested. "Wether she's getting stronger or not if the powers too much for her she might not be meant to be a beyblader. Some people just aren't!" "She is though she has a stronger will to learn than Tyson does!" "Hmm... Dizzi blood check on Hilary." He said attaching a small electrode to her hand. "Blood levels normal adrenaline through the roof, Energy low" "Anything wrong with any other chemicals if I'm right in suggesting this problem could be chemical rather than physical." "You're a science whiz to you everything's chemical not physical!" Kenny ignored him. "All checks out okay chief. I can't find anything wrong." Kenny glared. Kai kneeled down and put her head on his lap. "So is it possible it's the blade wearing her out physically?" he asked. "I think it might be more than that Kai, the blades not wearing her out. She's wearing herself out!" "How?" "Well, she's putting her own energy into the blade I think." Dizzi was checking the blade over. "Yeah the blades energy levels are way up chief." "If she keeps doing this." Kenny frowned. "She might end up killing herself. She has to learn to blade properly, rather than forcing herself to do it." "Hey I learnt by forcing myself she can do the same!" "SHE'S NOT A BOY KAI. SHE'S A GIRL SHE ISN'T AS STRONG, SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE PHYSICAL STREGTH THAT YOU AND TYSON HAVE!"

"Sexist." Murmered Hilary trying to force herself to sit up. "Calm down Hilary just lay still for a while." "I don't want to lie still!" she argued. "HILARY CAN YOU LISTEN TO ME KAI'S BEEN TEACHING YOU ALL WRONG!" "I'M STILL LEARNING!" she screamed pouncing up. Maybe that wasn't a good idea, she teetered slightly before glaring at Kenny. "Hilary, stop yelling!" said a voice. Tyson. Great just what she needed. "Why?" she spat. "First you fall out with us then you start on Kate for no reason now you're about ready to beat Kenny to a bloody pulp!" "Fallen out with us??? Who's us Tyson?" asked an icy Kai. He glared. "What do you..." "You know very well what we mean Tyson." Kai said snappily. Hilary swayed drunkenly. Her breathing slightly erratic. She sat down on the ground gulping in the air as though she was dependent on it [well she is but. ah!]

"Hilary are you... okay?" asked Max suddenly aware of Hilary's lack of energy. She nodded her head furiously. "Fine. Fine, I'm fine yeah... fine." She whispered distractedly. "Come on I'll walk you home." Said Kai. She nodded. "We might as well tag along, we're going that way anyway." Said Ray shrugging. Kai glared. He bent down and supported Hilary. Kenny ducked and helped her too. "Thanks." She mouthed.

"She's getting worse." Said Kai awkwardly. Kenny had decided to stay at Tyson's that night and he and himself were the only ones awake. "Funny thing the human determination system..." "How so?" he asked staring at the ceiling. "She knows she's getting herself sick so badly she may be slowly killing herself, yet she continues." Kenny mused. Kai sighed. Kenny was right. She was slowly but surely wearing herself down. Soon there would be nothing left for her to rely on. Even worse he was the one who had got her started on it.

Hilary sat on her bed. Her energy had returned. She was sat cross legged. The blade in her hands twinkled and glittered maliciously. She studied it carefully. There didn't appear to be a fault. 'The faults not with the blade Hilary it's with you' she thought viciously. She bit her lip. She stared in the mirror. It reminded her of a poem 'I looked in the mirror, behind brown eyes was sorrow' [ok is blue eyes I can cheat I wrote it] that's what she saw. Sorrow. And determination. Raw emotion. God she wished she was a writer sometimes this stuff was good. If she wrote about what she was feeling she'd make millions. She grabbed the launcher. She knew she could do this. She tugged the rip cord. She had been blading about 10 mins when suddenly she realised she was surviving. She felt strange but not tired. A voice. She started hearing a voice. "Jo..." it said. She looked puzzled. There was a girl on the bed. No not a girl and angel. Her wings towered in the air a few feathers fluttering to the ground. "You're not Jo." She stated simply. She looked slightly icy. Slightly sinister. "Deraga?" she asked. "Yes numbskull!" she countered rolling her eyes. "You should listen to me." She said. "Instead of trying to kill me." "Why?" she asked. Hilary looked taken back by this. "Why should I?" "Because, because I said so." The brunette said shaking. She didn't like this. It was a nightmare she'd wake up in a minute.

"You're not Jo." She stated again. "No, No I'm not. Who's Jo?" Derega didn't answer she seemed to stare straight through Hilary. Hilary shuddered. Derega was small standing at about 5ft 2 she had long blue/silver hair. She had on a white outfit and she had piercing blue eyes. "Jo is, Jo is Kai's sister." She stumbled. Derega suddenly looked annoyed. "Worthless scum! Him and Dranzer!" she snapped. Hilary's breathing was sharp. "What happened?" Derega didn't answer. She looked slightly sad. And slightly annoyed. Hilary suddenly fainted.

When she awoke Derega was gone but the blade was lying feet away from her. God this got weirder by the minute.

*********

"Hilary are you okay?" asked a voice. Max. "Hello Max." she said as they walked down the road. "What's been going on?" "What do you mean?" she asked. "You and Kai were acting really weird. And now Kenny's been dragged into it. Why?" "I've not been feeling so good, Kenny and Kai are helping me get back on my feet." "You're not feeling so good? Coz of Tyson?" "No." she said shortly. "He doesn't mean what he says you know." He said awkwardly. She sighed. "But he still says them." "He has a short fuse." "Tyson?" joked Kenny the second he caught up with them. "Yeah. How'd you know?" "Lucky guess."

Hilary knocked her bag flying. Damn it. She began to pick her things up. Kenny and Max helped her. "Hilary..." asked Max. she suddenly realised what he had in his hands. 'Derega' uh oh. She gulped. "What's going... on?" he asked turning it over and surveying it. He handed it back to her. She bit her lip. "I'm learning." She said. He looked puzzled. "How good are you?" he asked. He didn't look annoyed he had a small smile on his face. "Not very." "Want a battle?" he asked pulling out Draciel and his launcher. She smirked. "Hilary NO!" said Kenny. She shook her head. "I never turn down a challenge." Kenny started ranting. A lone figure watched from the bridge.

"3-2-1 let it rip!" she called. Derega span but didn't move. At first Kenny thought she'd frozen Max looked puzzled. 'come on Derega.' She thought. The blade still span in one place. Max charged at her. She knew what to do. She swerved to miss the attack. She smirked. "No holding back on me Maxy!" she called. He tried once more and failed to attack her. "I've got news for you Hil!" he said circling her. "I'm not holding back!" she smiled. Her legs felt weak and she wanted to scream. But she wanted to finish the match. "DRACIEL!" screamed Max loudly. His bit beast leapt into the air. The figure on the bridge turned away. Hilary didn't stand a chance against draciel if she couldn't call upon Derega. Hilary breathed heavily. "No." she whispered. "You want to stop." "Not on... your life, Max." she cried. Her sudden change from defence to offence shocked Max. she charged at him. Sparks flew everywhere. The figure on the bridge span around. Kenny ran forward to support Hilary. She looked like she was going to drop dead of exhaustion. But she was sticking it out. "DEREGA!" she cried. The blade seemed to glow unnaturally for a second as though she was calling out her bitbeast. But then a huge wave of air blasted from the blade knocking both blades back into the hands of their owners.

Max looked shocked. "WELL DONE HILARY!" Called Kai from atop the bridge. She smiled weakly. She didn't want to faint this time. "Wow..." Max said. "Tyson really underestimates you, if you can draw with a world champion as a rookie." She smiled weakly and sat down. "Max, don't tell anyone ok." "ok." He said. The four stood [or sat in Hilary's case] on the edge of the riverbank. Thinking about what was to come.

"One day Tyson." She whispered. "One day I'll beat you, I'll show you I'm not as useless as you think, Tyson Granger, your time will come." She liked Tyson. She REALLY liked him. But she had to prove her point here. As she whispered her last word she fainted. "She lasted really well this time." Kenny whispered. Kai nodded and picked her up. "She did." He said. The three boys took her home as Kenny and Kai explained to Max.

A/n: YAY finished. This chapter was more Ty/Hil. I am not telling wether this is a Kai/hil or ty/hil. I know.
