Hikari no Naka e
(chapter one : Secrets)

Hiromi rubbed her temples in frustration. "Oh…T-that…that boy!" Her eyes narrowed and her cheeks flushed from anger. "Who does he think he is!" She stomped down the road with fury.

Hiromi sighed, putting her bag down and laid down on the wet grass. "I just wanted to help him!" She closed her eyes and was at peace. Smiling, she sat up and looked at her surroundings, as her hands rested on each side of her body.

"The third fight this month…" Hiromi whispered, wrapping her arms around her legs. "Why can't Takao and Me just get along?" She buried her face in her pale knees and sighed deeply. She inhaled the fresh, moist air and closed her eyes, slowly. "He probably hates me."

/FLASHBACK

"Hey, Hiromi," Max greeted, smiling. Max just watched the girl walk right past him. "Uh, Hiromi-Chan?"

Hiromi, hands clutched, walked towards Takao, whom was talking with Kyouju. "Takao!" Hiromi yelled blood boiling. "Just where were you yesterday, Takao?" With hands on her hips she added, "You missed school! You know you've failed almost every class, baka!" Takao stood up and met her angry gaze. "I'm NOT a baka!" He yelled. Hiromi shoved his bag into his stomach. "Oh, but you are SO a baka!" Max and Kyouju sighed and went inside the Dojo. "I'M NOT A BAKA!"

"Takao," Hiromi sighed. "Don't you even care about school?" Takao crossed his arms. "I only try to help you out, but you ALWAYS, ALWAYS ignore me, Takao!" Hiromi continued. "Maybe, I don't want- or need your help, Hiromi!" Hiromi's hands traced her face and she sighed. "I just want to help you at beyblading and school, Takao. I know, I don't know much about bey-thingies, but I helped you before! I try and I try so hard!" Hiromi's hands slipped off her lips and fell to her sides."Stop trying, then!" Takao growled. Hiromi's hands were clutched at her sides. "Why don't you want me to help you? I just want you to do well at beyblading and school!" She only wanted to help him and he shoved it in her face. Hiromi just looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Fine, then." And she was off.

Bright colors were now in the sky, as the sun set. The clouds were slowly disappearing and the coldwindy breezebegan to blow. Hiromi picked up her school bag and fully extended her legs. She started to walk, her shoes stepping on the wet, mossy grass. Hiromi frowned and muttered "Baka, Takao," She paused. "I shouldn't even care anymore."

"Oh, so it starts raining now." Ray said hurriedly running back to Takao's Grandpa's Dojo, his long, black hair getting soaked. He held a bag in his hand. "Might as well take a shortcut." Ray mumbled, running through an alley. The neko-jin stopped dead in his tracks, turning his head around. "I swear, I heard something…" Ray shook it off and continued running.

"They have no idea," A women pulled on gloves. "What I have in store for them," She smirked, putting a hand on her hip. "That neko-jin is leading me right to them." She laughed and continued following the boy.

"Hey guys," Ray greeted after entering the Dojo. Max smiled, waving. Kyouju looked away from his laptop for a second and said, "Oh, hey Ray."

"So, where are Takao and Kai?" Ray asked, noticing the two missing. "I don't know, Ray, we haven't seen them, since this morning," Max said. "They're probably out back,"

"GO SHOOT," Takao yelled, pulling his rip cord and letting his beyblade go. "GO DRAGOON!" Takao's beyblade circled Kai's. "Dranzer!" He yelled. A giant red bird was released. It bashed Dragoon around. Takao growled and took a step closer to the battle. "C'mon Dragoon!" Takao tried summoning Dragoon, but it didn't listen. "Let's go Dranzer!" Kai yelled wanting the battle to be over and dealt with quickly so he summoned the beast's power and with one blow, he wiped Takao's blade out. Takao's eyes widened as his beyblade lost balance and fell over. "Why didn't Dragoon come out?" He thought, picking up his blade and looked at it like he'd never seen it before.

"You had lost all focus before the match even begun," Kai's blade was sent back to his hand. "That's why Dragoon didn't come out of your blade." Kai turned around and left.

Takao looked at his blade. It reflected the moonlight into his face. Dragoon didn't want to come out during that battle and it made Takao wonder. "What's wrong, Dragoon?" He thought, looking down at his blade. Scowling, Takao kicked the ground, and stomped inside the Dojo.

"Hehe, so his little dragon doesn't want to come out?" The woman laughed as she appeared at the Dojo entrance. "This makes things interesting," Smirking, she turned around and walked, slowly away.
