Chapter 6: For your amusement
Hello! I say the same thing everytime don't I? Maybe I should just copy and paste! I said something different!! Read, Read, Read!
Disclaimer: I do not own any Beyblade characters! Only my OCs: Hatsumi, Utada, and Hikki, etc.!
"Good Morning!" yawned Hatsumi, walking out of her bedroom in a tank top and pajama pants. Everybody turned to look at her. She opened her eyes and blinked.
Everybody was already dressed and Utada and Hikki were already here.
"Why are you guys already dressed?" asked Hatsumi.
"We're going to amusement park!" Utada wrapped her arms around Hatsumi's neck.
"Forget it! I'm going back to bed," groaned Hatsumi. She started walking back to her room but something caught a hold of her wrist.
"What?" snapped Hatsumi. She spun around and saw Kai.
"You're coming with us."
"And what if I don't want to?"
"You don't have a choice."
"Ugh! Fine!" she mumbled. She dragged her feet slowly back into her room.
Two minutes later, she came back out fully dressed in a sleeveless top with a hood and faded black jeans, wearing combat boots. All the guys gawked at her and Hatsumi hated this. She had to turn down a hundred guys a day, literally.
"Gees, guys! You want me to get you bibs so you don't have to drool on my carpet?" asked Hatsumi. They couldn't hear her. (lol) "
They all snapped out of it – after Hatsumi poured ice down their shirts.
Utada whispered to Hatsumi, "You're so lucky your cousin is Ray! You get hang out with the hottest guys on the planet."
"Yeah," said Hikki, joining in the conversation. "Do you have a thing for any of them?"
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Hatsumi.
"Look she's panicking!" squealed Hikki and Utada in unison.
"You girls coming or what?" asked Ray. Hatsumi spun around to see the guys going out the door.
"Wait for me, Ray!" cried Hikki and she ran to him, arms spread.
"Tyson! You lech!""
"What?"
"It's your hand! You're touching places again!"
Everybody turned to see Tyson and Utada arguing again.
"Gees! Don't they make a great couple!" exclaimed Max, laughing his head off. "And Ray and Hikki too!" Hatsumi laughed, for the first time that day. Kai seemed to enjoy having her around, or as Max saw it at least. He seemed more relaxed, but with attitude still left in him.
[Her laugh is so light and airy. It's nice to hear someone else laugh instead of Tyson's regular snorting.] Kai thought.
Kai was snapped back into reality by Hatsumi's hand on his forehead.
"Are you okay? You've been staring into space quite often!"
"Whatever, I'm fine," replied Kai flatly, brushing her hand off his forehead.
"Humph, sorry about being worried about you," she mumbled and pouted. She started walking out the door and walked into the elevator, leaving a puzzled Kai still in the corridor.
Just then, a hand tapped Hatsumi on the shoulder.
"What?" she snapped at the person who had tapped her.
"Um – sorry," mumbled Kai quietly, so no one could hear. Hatsumi's eyes widened. Did he just say sorry? Whoa!
"Well?"
"Um... yeah, apology accepted."
"Hn – thanks," he said. Hatsumi smiled at him. Kai smiled back. Smiled, not smirked or grimaced. [Maybe this wasn't going to be such a bad day after all.]
They all walked to the amusement park, which was four to five blocks away from Hatsumi's house. Utada clung to Tyson's arm and they talked about beyblading, or at least Tyson was. Hikki walked alongside Ray, who often flirted with each other.
"Oooh, Ray, you're so strong!" cooed Hikki, leaning in towards Ray.
"Hn – that I am!" replied Ray, rather jauntily.
"Oh really?" Ray turned around and saw Hatsumi, who was walking beside Kai, yet showed no signs of conversations sparking between them.
"Go get yourself a guy, cousin! Maxie might be interested," Ray said pointing towards Max.
"Nope, my heart's taken by the beautiful Mariam," replied Max, dreamily.
"Aw, get back to stuffing your mouth with sugar," snapped Hatsumi, rolling her eyes.
"What about Kai then?" asked Ray suggestively.
"That arrogant snob? Ha!" laughed Hatsumi. Kai narrowed his eyes and gave Ray an icy glare.
"Oooh, frosty!" said Ray sarcastically.
"C'mon Tyson, let's go on the roller coaster," said Utada.
"What? I just ate five hotdogs!" said Tyson, a matter-of-factly. But even the not-so-great Tyson succumbed to Utada's pleading face.
"Okay, fine..."
"Yah!"
"Hey Ray," asked Hikki. "Can we go on Drop Zone?"
"Are you sure a little girl like you can handle it?" said Ray teasingly.
"If you're with me," she replied flirtatiously. "You want to come?" Hikki asked Hatsumi.
"No, I'd spoil the moment," said Hatsumi, giving Hikki a thumbs-up. "Guess I'll see you later."
She turned to see Max running after the candy truck.
"Hey Hatsumi," called Kai. Oops. She forgot he was still there.
"Yah?" she asked.
"Let's go buy some food," he said flatly.
"Okay," she said, not knowing why he was being so nice.
After buying some food, they sat at a table under a large patio umbrella.
"Excuse me?"
They turned and saw a girl the same age as them with light wavy blonde hair. She was really pretty.
"Are you two on a date?"
"No," replied the both of them in unison.
"Okay then, Kai Hiwatari, can I have your autograph?" asked the girl, slightly smirking.
"Yeah, sure," he said giving her a piece of paper after writing on it.
"So you're the new member," said the girl, turning to Hatsumi. "I personally think the guys at school are wrong now that I've seen you. They think you're extremely pretty and start hooting when they see you on TV."
"Huh? Wait, you're that girl that all the guys think are hot at school. What's your name again?" asked Hatsumi, innocently enough.
"Nakata. Nakata Takazawa," said Nakata loud enough to make sure Kai heard it loud and clear. But he was totally confused about what these two girls were talking about.
"I knew you couldn't be on a date with the legendary Kai! You're simply not up to the standards, my dear," said Nakata plainly.
"You take that back," replied Hatsumi, trying to control herself.
"Humph! Why should I? I heard you were a tomboy and never got yourself closer to guys any more than as 'friends'. So I came to ask you if you date girls," said Nakata with a hint of amusement in her voice.
"Are you suggesting I'm a lesbian? I certainly have had a boyfriend before. I've loved and suffered from it and now I think love is just a weakness and will keep you from reaching you're full potential," retorted Hatsumi calmly. Kai was staring at this situation like there were green monkeys pulling at his hair.
"Ha! You certainly are entertaining Miragazaki! We'll meet again and don't you forget that!" said Nakata. "Tootles Kai!" she said before walking off.
Hatsumi sat down and sighed heavily. Then she turned to Kai and asked, "Do you think I'm ugly?"
Caught off guard, he replied, "No, you're pretty pleasant looking. Better than the average girl, I'd say!" Then he realized what he had said and blushed.
Hatsumi smiled after hearing this and tried to erase Nakata from her mind. [What a day!] she thought.
Kai wanted to comfort her but he didn't know what to say.
"Hey guys!"
Hatsumi and Kai turned to see Utada and Tyson walking towards them.
"I'm starving!" said Tyson, sitting down and gulping at the food Kai and Hatsumi had bought.
"Hatsumi, is something the matter?" asked Utada, worry apparent in her eyes.
"No, it's nothing."
"Hi," said Ray, sitting down beside Hatsumi, followed by Hikki, who was carrying a giant blue bunny.
"Hn," smirked Hatsumi. "And who got that for you?" she said pointing at the bunny.
"Ray." Everybody burst into a fit of giggles except for Hikki and Ray.
"What?"
"Nothing." everybody said.
"Let's play a game!" suggested Utada.
"Games are for kids," said Tyson, rolling his eyes.
"Truth or dare," suggested Hikki.
"I'm in," said Ray. Utada, Max, and Hatsumi all agreed.
"Fine," said Tyson.
"What about you Kai?" asked Hatsumi. Kai grunted as a reply.
"I'll take that as a yes," said Hatsumi, rolling her eyes. They walked and sat down on a bigger picnic table.
"Utada – truth or dare?" asked Ray.
"Truth."
"Okay, who, um, do you like better Hikki or Hatsumi?"
"I can't answer that! They're both my best friends!" retorted Utada.
Suddenly Hatsumi said, "I'm going to go buy some drinks." She walked off towards a fast foods service.
"Fine – don't answer it!" said Tyson.
"Then what's the point of the game?"
"We should have a punishment for whoever doesn't answer the question or whoever doesn't do the dare," suggested Max.
"How about you have to stuff yourself with food for one hour?" grinned Tyson.
"No, that'd be heaven for you," laughed Ray as he pointed at Tyson.
"The person who doesn't agree will have to pour glue over themselves and roll around in a pile of pink feathers!" suggested Hikki. Everyone agreed.
"Tyson, it's your turn," said Max.
"I choose Kai," grinned Tyson evilly.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare." (Duh!)
"Payback time! Muahahaha!" laughed Tyson. "I dare you to kiss, no, french Hatsumi!"
Everybody gasped.
"No way!" choked out Kai.
"Would you like to be feather boy then?" asked Tyson.
Kai groaned. He seriously didn't want to do this.
"Here's the drink guys!" said Hatsumi, plopping back into her seat. Everybody had their eyes glued on her.
"What?" asked Hatsumi.
"Now Kai," Tyson urged.
Kai turned towards Hatsumi and leaned closer.
"Kai, what are you d-"
Hatsumi was cut short by Kai's lips on hers. Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around her waist. She gasped and he used this opportunity to get inside her mouth. His tongue softly stroked her tongue and Hatsumi wrapped her arms around his neck. She started to enjoy it when he slipped out.
Hatsumi blushed like crazy while Kai only showed a slight pink tinge on his cheeks when they turned back to their friends, who were trying to hide their giggling.
"Um, Kai? What was that for?" Hatsumi asked, still blushing.
"That's what you call a dare," he replied.
"And may I ask who dared you to do that?" asked Hatsumi, as calmly as she could. Everybody pointed at Tyson, who was still snickering his head off.
"TYSON!" screeched Hatsumi. She slapped him hard on the face.
Meanwhile, Ray and Kai had their share of guy talk.
"So Kai, how good a kisser was she?" asked Ray, motioning towards Hatsumi who was busy pounding at Tyson's sorry butt. Kai cocked an eyebrow, showing the slightest amusement.
"Ray!" hollered Hatsumi. She was about to lunge at Ray but Utada and Hikki held her back.
"Let me go!" she said, thrashing and kicking about.
"Well? How good was my cousin?" asked Ray, snickering.
"Hn, rating her from one to ten, she was a five. She melted into jello the moment I touched her." replied Kai, smirking.
"You're saying I don't know how to kiss? asked Hatsumi. "I'll prove I know how to kiss!"
She calmly walked towards Kai now that Utada and Hikki had let go of her from utter shock that she had said that. Hatsumi sat down on his lap and leaned towards him. Their lips softly touched and Hatsumi licked his bottom lip. As quickly as she had done it, she stopped.
"So how good of a kisser am I now?" asked Hatsumi as a-matter-of-factly.
Kai couldn't answer. He just sat there thinking about what had just happened. Wow.
"Well? Kai?" asked a very impatient Tyson.
"Ten." said Kai subconsciously.
Then everybody turned to Hatsumi to see if she heard this. Apparently, she had, because she was blushing again.
"Wow Hatsumi! You haven't kissed anyone like that since you were with Bry-"
Hikki hissing, "Shush", cut Utada short.
Hatsumi immediately looked at the floor, her sapphire blue eyes filled with sadness.
"Sorry Hatsumi, I forgot," apologized Utada.
"No worries," replied Hatsumi, forcing a smile. "He was a bastard anyways."
She went back to chatting with everybody as if nothing had happened.
But Kai knew something had happened to Hatsumi in the past. And something was going to happen to them in the future. Something BIG.
