A Sign of Wish
Emiyan: Konnchiwa! This will be my first fiction; I got the title from the song after listening to it for like, 5, 265 times. --; What! I liked it. (begins humming the song)
Torakai: I guess I'll have to do the disclaimer… (sigh) Emi doesn't own Beyblade, Aoki Takao does. If Emiyan did own Beyblade, then all her dream couples would be put together, and Mariah/Mao would've been fatally thrown off a cliff.
Lawyers: Darn! So close… TT
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chapter 1: Fiery Touch of a Shattered Soul--
"Takao…" he murmured under his breath, extending his own arm to reach out for the bluenette's. "Kai…" The Japanese pulled him from the murky depths of his mind, "Kai, we all believe in you. You can't fail us now…" "I won't Takao… It's our destiny to battle against one another."
The dust blew by, waking him from his thoughts; and he could practically hear Brooklyn's smirk. He strained himself to get up, the Russian groaned in pain as his knees buckled under him. "Takao, I promise to one day battle you…"
Rei frowned, and got up. "I can't leave Kai… he's going to get hurt… I know it." He walked to the dish in an attempt to reach Kai, but a bluenette's arms blocked him from going any further. "Tak—" he was cut off, "No! We can't interfere… I promised Kai we wouldn't." Rei could see the Japanese's tears, pooling in his brown eyes. "We can't…"
Max lifted himself from the sidelines, "Takao…" "NO! If the situation were reversed, I know Kai would've kept his promise." His tears became more visible. Rei nodded solemnly and stared at Kai, concern filling his marigold eyes.
(AN: I'm too lazy to describe Kai's and Brooklyn's battle, so I'll just skip to the end. )
Kai stumbled down the steps, his crimson eyes slightly dulled from the battle. He looked like he had been hit by multiple trucks, but still everyone rushed to him, happy as ever. Once he took his first step on the ground beneath the steps, he tripped… and landed into Takao's arms.
"Kai, are you alright?" Max asked; his cerulean orbs were wide with fear. Kai mumbled incoherently and buried himself in Takao's shoulder, a cute and very rare sight. Takao blushed, but his orbs grew a dismayed look in them when Kai hauled himself from the navy-haired blader's grip and lurched away.
"Kai! Kai! Are we going to battle! You promised!" Takao cried after him, reaching out an arm, as if to drag the Russian back. Kai lifted a hand and brushed the younger away, "Kai, I'm taking that as a yes!" Tyson replied, smiling lightly.
Kai's POV-----------------------------------
I slipped into the hallway leading out, clutching Dranzer tightly in my hand. I refused to let her go. Suddenly, the world began to blend together in a mass of confusing swirls I didn't wish to understand.
"Ugh…" I groaned and pressed a hand against the cool stone walls, then, my whole body. It burned… Something inside me was burning, and I wanted to extinguish the flame within.
My face turned to my light, but my pupils did not dilate. Instead, they softened, accepting any luminosity willing to go through their ruby depths. I collapsed underneath my weight, panting heavily.
"Dranzer, it's okay…" My hands freed the blue Beyblade caught in my tense hold. The Beyblade rolled from my palm and halted near me, I closed my eyes, not wanting to witness the destruction of the fire phoenix.
"You can go now… You're free." I breathed, turning my head. A small 'snap' broke the air, followed by several more cracking noises, and I broke my vow not to watch. I stared in silent horror as Dranzer shattered into millions of blue and silver pieces.
A hushed shriek emitted from the bit-beast, and I blinked back tears… Kai Hiwatari did not cry… "You're free… Dranz…" And everything went black.
Five Months Later----------------------------
He shielded his eyes from the flurry of freezing snow, scarf billowing behind him. The streets of Moscow were completely deserted; no one was dumb enough to go out in such frigid weather. Even as cold as Moscow was, this climate was way below regular standards.
But he couldn't feel a thing; he was already numb enough as it was. To him, the snow was just a gentle breeze. Shrieks and caws repeated themselves in his mind, and they refused to be pushed away.
He growled, and looked up, maroon eyes scanning a quiet building. He pushed open the door and closed it behind him. "Kai, you're already a popsicle enough. Do you want to live in a freezer?" he heard a fellow Russian say. Ice-blue eyes focused on the slate-haired teen.
…Silence…
Yuriy sighed and looked down, "I guess Russia isn't the only place with unusual weather," the red-head then indicated to the flickering TV, which was now presenting the weather across other places.
"It seems like there is not only unusual coldness in Moscow, but in Korea too. Japan has become unnaturally warm lately, and China is experiencing 'warm rain'… It's seems like the climate everywhere in the world is becoming out-of-place—" the TV blinked off before the newscaster could continue. Yuriy threw the remote down with a growl, "I despise weather now."
Kai smirked, and opened his mouth to speak, but was cut-off by the ringing of the telephone. Yuriy's face lit up, "Oh, that has to be Boris!" The red-head rushed to the phone to answer it.
"Hiya Bor—who…? Kai…?" He turned; his icy eyes boring into Kai. "It's for you…" he handed the phone to the slate-haired Russian, and Kai snatched it from Yuriy's hold. Yuriy 'humph'ed and turned on his heel. Kai smirked and held the phone to his ear.
"This is Kai, who is this and what business do you have with me?" he spoke coldly into the receiver. "Hey Kai, it's me—" but the person on the other end was cut short. Kai didn't need an answer; he already knew who the voice belonged to…
