Breaking a Promise

Chapter 3

Training was scheduled for the dojo the next morning. Everyone had gotten up super early (even though it was summer now), and Kai allowed them to do their own thing, so long as it involved training. Ray decided to test Driger's agility with a few Coke and Sprite cans, Max was reading up on tips from "Beyblade! Weekly" (Kai wasn't exactly happy with this, but Max had argued that it improved his game, so it was allowed. IF he didn't read the same issue twice.), and Kenny was organizing data. Hilary was absent today, and Kai was training by the pond (he seems to like watery places, though Dranzer's element is flame), away from the group, as he tends to be.

Tyson chose now as the best time to give Kai a piece of his mind. He stomped over to the other side of the building toward the pond (yeah, in here, the pond is out of sight-range to the others).

"Kai." The captain turned away from his training. Tyson didn't hesitate and hatred burned in his eyes, "You. Me. Talk. Now!" Kai retrieved Dranzer from the stadium and met Tyson halfway. Tyson grabbed Hiwatari by the shirt collar (does it have a collar? I don't think it does. Oh well.), and rammed him onto a wall.

"Stay. Away. From. Hilary." Each word from Tyson's mouth was more sentences than words.

"What the fuck are you talking about, Tyson? And take your hands off me." The former BladeShark kept his cool, and the aggressive world-champ lowered him, but didn't release him.

"You know you don't love her," Tyson breathed angrily, though he didn't know whether he was lying or not. "Leave her to someone who does."

"What's all the ruckus?" The voice of Ray came around the corner, accompanied by his body and those of Max and Kenny.

"Tyson, what are you doing?!" Max practically screamed as he rushed to break up the fight before it actually happened, for Tyson had one of his hands drawn back in a fist, ready to pummel the snot out of his rival.

Tyson dropped Kai, not knowing how he was going to explain this scene to the others. He wasn't even sure he knew what was going on himself. Fighting over Hilary? It was unheard of!

"Just a little leadership dispute," Kai lied. "Nothing to worry about." He walked past them toward the exit.

"It happens to the best teams," sighed Dizzi. (Kenny had failed to leave her behind when they had heard that thud from behind the dojo)

'Thanks, Kai,' thought Tyson as they all resumed previous activities, forgetting almost immediately the situation that had just occured. 'But that won't be enough to save you from me. I WILL win Hilary.' And he began plotting his attack.

Kohari: Sorry so short. And I know you were looking forward to an actual fight. I was going to put one in, but this heightens the animosity. There may be on in the next few chapters, so...give me some suggestions anyway!
