FASH: Well, here's the chapter for the third season, woohoo, there's a bunch of fun stuff I want to add into this chapter, basically because I love many, many guys from G-Revolution, that, and Tyson is going to become… 'Accustom to his own thoughts' shall we say? Anyways, the point is, Tyson will be all purple, rainbows and YMCA when I'm done, well, not exactly, he's going to be really closeted, but that can be expected! (Nods head.)
""- speech
''- thoughts
Taylor was depressed, very depressed, Rei and Max had left, going back to their homelands to join the beyblade team there, leave Taylor alone with Kai, who wasn't exactly a great sympathizer, Kenny, who although was a good friend, couldn't handle much more stress, the kid really needed to take a break sometime, and Hilary… Well, we won't even get started on that.
Then there was that Daichi kid, who was now staying at his house, 'Jin of the Gale', who, kind of seemed familiar, and then there was all that training to be the best, sometimes… She just couldn't stand her life………..
Tyson and Daichi had just put out the forest fire, and she was extremely proud of herself, but the good feelings didn't last long.
"Hey Tyson, where are you going, don't leave me HEERRREEE!" Tyson heard Daichi, but he kept running, no one could keep up with him when he was running; no one could catch him...
'AHH! It's Rickyyyy!' Well, at least now Tyson knew Rick was a Beyblade, and Max's new teammate! 'Wow, I never knew he was so mean, he must really like me… Well, my girl-form anyways!' (Just had to put that in there.)
Tyson was mad! He lost to Rei and Lee, stupid Daichiiii! Tyson was about to take a whack at the poor boy, when something began happening, something familiar…. 'No, it can't be happening, it isn't time yet!' Tyson's hands began to shake and he clutched onto his stomach.
"Tyson! Are you okay?" He dimly heard Kenny ask, but he had to get away, he had to run.
Just after the match everyone could see that Tyson Grainger was pissed off, then he went pale and started shaking, grabbing his stomach in pain, tears began to leak from the corner of his eyes and then, he left, with as much speed as he could he ran out of the stadium, where was he going? Somewhere, safe?
'Why did it happen now? It's not supposed to happen yet! It hurts, it hurts so much!' Tyson ran to the hotel and locked himself in his room, just as he changed. 'Why………..' She thought in despair.
"TYSON!" Bang! Bang! Bang! "OPEN THIS DOOR!" Taylor didn't budge, Hilary couldn't control her, and she wasn't going to open the door.
'Why did I change, was it because of my, extreme emotional stress?' Taylor thought, trying to calm herself down, and sure enough, she felt the reassuring feeling of turning back to himself. 'That's never happened before though, why is it happening now?'
"Tyson." He heard his older brother, Hiro, call him from the other side of the door. "Tyson, what's wrong? Open the door." Tyson, now back to himself, complied.
"Tyson!" Hiro glomped onto his younger brother. "You had me worried, what's wrong." Tyson smiled, the kind he always smiled, the one that made his eyes twinkle enough to make people believe it was real. "Nothing, I just felt a little sick."
Tyson was in Italy, Tyson was in Italy and missing a match, Tyson was in Italy and missing a match with the White Tiger X's coach… In a woman's dress shop, and currently, he was feeling a lot like a cross dresser… Could it be because he was wearing dresses? Maybe….. Probably…. Okay, that was definitely it! 'I wonder if Enrique is around here somewhere, this looks like a place he'd hang out with his girlfriends.'
Taylor was walking around in Spain, he just wanted to disappear for a while, and what better way then to become a girl? He'd purposely got himself all riled and hyped up and now, he was female, free to walk the streets of Madrid without being bothered by anything, or anyone, which was very top priority to her now, seeing as everyone she knew either wanted to beat her in a beybattle, or wanted to be her best friend, and right now, she didn't need any of that.
She made her way through the fairly crowded streets and came upon a huge group of people crowding around… Something, so using her small frame, and cuteness, (Pleeeaaasseee can I go in front of you? puppy dog eyes) she made her way to the front to see what everyone was gawking at… She was very impressed.
Two people were doing really cool tricks with their blades, and they were replicating each other perfectly, like they knew what the other was thinking. 'They must be really close, to have a bond like that.' Taylor felt a pang of sadness in her chest, the one closest to her at the moment was probably Sanquinex, he knew her secret, he kept her secret, and he helped her when she could hardly take it any more, it was kind of depressing when she thought about, her best friend was someone she didn't see to often, and someone she didn't know all too much about. 'Except that he's a vampire that doesn't actually drink blood.'
It was beginning to get late and the crowd started to disperse, but Taylor stayed, watching the pairs' every movement, they were so graceful, and soon enough, she was the only one left watching them.
"Hey you, it's getting dark, you should probably go home now." The female said with her hands on her hips while the male nodded, Taylor was sure she had heard their voices before, but where? 'I know, they're F-Dynasty!' The twins stared at Taylor, and she stared back, the twins were getting unnerved, Taylor just wondered how they could do all the cool tricks, and so, after what seemed like hours…
"Stop staring at us and leave!" Julia commanded, she was very pissed off, Taylor just stared at them both some more, Raul started blushing and Julia got even more pissed off. "Right…." Taylor slowly turned around and walked away, thinking. 'Raul is kind of… Cute…. Uhhh… Never mind.'
"She, was weird." Julia commented and Raul just nodded, thanking the Gods that be that his mask covered his pink face. (Awww.)
Taylor was in her hotel room, she had just lost to Raul and Julia in the team match that he had requested, all in all, there was a darkness lurking behind violet eyes that night, a darkness few would see.
'I can feel the depression seeping in, good thing I'm already a girl, and no one's around.' Taylor hugged her knees to her chest, tears beginning to fill her eyes. 'No one understands, they just think I'm falling behind, that I'm weaker, that they're stronger, but it's more then that. I wish Sanquinex was here, at least he knows about me, about this, I have no one to talk to, and… It hurts; I just want the pain to go away.' Hold back a sob Taylor let the tears fall, tears that no one could ever see or know about……
Tyson and a bunch of other bladers were sitting on a bus, on their way to Camp Yamanaka to train, Hilary had made a complete idiot of herself, which amused Tyson to no end, and suddenly the conversation switched to a topic Tyson wasn't exactly comfortable with.
"Yo Tyson, do you have a cousin named Taylor?" Rick Anderson asked, the focus shifted towards Tyson, who laughed nervously, and decided it was best that they thought he was his own cousin. "Yeah, why?"
"How come we haven't seen her around?" Max asked, Julia suddenly jumped into the conversation. "Does she look just like him," She pointed at Tyson, "except with violet eyes?" "Yeah, that's her." "Wait Rick! How do you know Taylor?" "We've met before." "Oh yeah, well I've been out on a date with her!" "I seriously doubt that…"
Tyson just sunk into his seat, trying to block out the conversation going on around him, now everyone was curious, and the worst part was, that rest of the people in this van might get to know 'Taylor Grainger' a little too soon for his taste. 'I need chocolate, and a knife with which to kill people… Stupid Hiro, stupid Kai, joining the enemy, AGAIN! I just wanna give them a piece of my mind.'
(Here comes some Hilary bashing, for none of my Beyblade fics are complete without some, because I really just wish she would die…. Painfully.)
Hilary was in shock, the guys were talking about some girl who wasn't her, and to top it off, they were talking about a cousin of Tyson! Tyson, the lazy loudmouth who couldn't even get a B- in school! What were they thinking; this 'Taylor Grainger' chick was probably a complete idiot.
"Why are you guys all talking about this Taylor girl, if she's related to Tyson, she must be a complete idiot." Hilary said, all the talking stopped. "What, look at who she'd be related too, someone he can't get up at the right time, someone who probably doesn't even know the multiplications of five, and most importantly, someone who doesn't even think before he acts, talks, or both at the same time." Hilary said in a snobbish way, earning a few giggles, she grinned.
Tyson screwed his eyes shut, the words hurt, hurt him deeply, was it his fault that he only slept for two hours a night, was it his fault that the only reason he hadn't died of exhaustion yet was because he always ate sugar, was it his fault his sleep deprived mind couldn't tell when he should talk or walk, and was it really his fault that in school he could hardly stay awake enough to look like he was listening, even if he couldn't hear what the teacher was droning on about? No, it wasn't his fault, it never had been, it never would be, but the fact that Hilary made fun of him for it, not even knowing the cause of his 'idiocy' and 'laziness' while others laughed at what she said, believing her, people who were his friends and should understand, it hurt him deeper than anyone would ever notice. He was Tyson, he was always happy. And with the pain still throbbing in his mind, he let himself fall into the blissful darkness of sleep.
"Look, he can't even stay awake long enough to defend himself."
Defend…
Defend?
I can't control myself…
But I can escape from the pain…
Into the darkness…
Into… My dreams…
"TYSON! WAKE UUUPPPP!" Tired brown eyes shot open, glaring at the person who dared disturbed his rest. Hilary.
"Jeez Tyson, you're such a lazy ass, I've been yelling at you for ten minutes, now get off this bus!" Tyson complied, not saying a word too anyone, he couldn't take it…
They had trained all day and it was beginning to get dark, Tyson had already changed clothes and taken his leave, going deep into the forest, sure that no one would go looking for him, but, then again, he didn't know what was going on back at the building. (I'm calling it a building, because I don't know what I should actually call it, you know, where everyone is sleeping and stuff.)
"Guys!" A worried Max ran into the common room where everyone was hanging out, all except for one person. "I can't find Tyson anywhere!" Rei got up from beside Lee, a look of worry overcoming him. "Are you sure, where have you looked?" "I've looked in his room, every other room, the kitchen, I've looked around the training area, the boys bathroom, the girls bathroom-" "HEY!" "And I can't find him ANYWHERE!" "Don't worry Maxie, we'll look for him." Rei said reassuringly, placing his hands on Max's shoulders in an act of comfort before turning to the rest of the room. "You heard me, we have to go find Tyson!"
Tyson was in his own 'sacred area', it was where he had stayed the last time he was here when he didn't want Daichi to see him change, it wasn't much, a small clearing with a fairly large rock off to one side, just big enough to sit on without fearing he'd fall off, and a small stream ran nearby, letting the sound of flowing water dominated the area.
Tyson sat on the rock, gripping at it as he began to feel himself change, tears beginning to flow down his cheeks for reasons he didn't understand, he was hurt by Hiro's leaving to train BEGA, hurt that Kai had teamed up with Boris again, hurt that nobody stood up for him against Hilary, and most of all, hurt that they didn't know how much pain he was in.
Her sobs became louder and louder, echoing and reverberating though the forest.
"Do you hear that?" Max asked as the group walked outside, they stopped to listen, it was faint, but it sounded like crying, and it was coming from the woods.
"Guys, what if Tyson's hurt!" Max asked worriedly and Rei just narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry Max, we'll get him back here, safe." And they all began running though the woods, towards the crying.
Taylor had finally begun to calm down a little, when she heard something, voices, not just any voices, voices of the people she knew. 'Oh no! Not know!' She jumped from the rock to a tree branch and began climbing up, stopping only when she was sure that the leaves would cover her, and she was right on time. Moments after she had stopped moving Daichi broke into the clearing, followed by Lee, and Rei and… Everyone.
"The crying stopped." Raul said softly, looking around the small clearing. "And there's no one here."
"That's just what he wants us to think, he's still around, he can't have gone far, we would have heard him move, he's still here, we just can't see him." Lee said in a very creepy way, causing Rei to just shake his head. 'He's been watching way to many horror movies lately.'
Violet eyes peered from above, red rimmed from crying, Taylor didn't want to be found, she wanted to be alone, why couldn't anyone understand that!
Miguel was looking at the sky, vaguely wondering if Tyson knew how much worry he was making him feel, when he spotted something that didn't belong, twin orbs of purple were looking down from a tree, they weren't Tyson's eyes, but…
"Is that Taylor?" He pointed upwards and within milliseconds everyone had caught sight of the purple eyes, and Taylor had gone into shock. 'No! I don't want to be found!' She started shaking, tears once again forming in her eyes as she dropped to the ground and ran as fast as she could, no one ever caught her when she ran, they came close, but they didn't catch her.
"Guys, I know where she's heading, she's going towards a cliff, if we're fast enough she'll be trapped." Daichi said as he broke out into a run, the others following him.
'Oh no! Trapped!' Taylor remembered this cliff, she remembered falling from it into the river below, and she also remembered all the people chasing her. She quickly turned around and saw them all slowly emerging from the woods, and she giggled a little in spite of herself. Sanquinex and the other Dark Bladers were much better at appearing from the shadows.
"Taylor?" She turned her head slightly, giving Lee a sideways glance. "Yes?" Lee mentally shuddered, if he didn't know any better, he'd swear Taylor was glaring at him. "Do you know where Tyson is?" This seemed to set her off.
"What do you care! Maybe I do know, but I'm certainly not going to tell you! Tyson and I are close, in fact." She paused for a moment before smirking. "We are practically the same person. Now go away, he doesn't want to be found! Everyone needs time alone; you shouldn't deprive him of his!" She executed a back flip, letting herself glide through the air, spiraling downward towards the icy coolness of the river.
Max gasped in shock but Daichi just smiled. "Don't worry, Tyson fell from there too, if he can make it out without a scratch, so can she."
The next morning, no one asked where Tyson had been, no one asked if his cousin was okay, they just trained, and for some reason, Tyson was happy that he finally had some solitude.
He had done it, he had defeated Brooklyn, but only by a few spins of his own blade, Brooklyn's had stopped a mere few seconds before his, but that was enough, BEGA was defeated, and now, he was exhausted, everything was slowly getting darker, his last thoughts before total darkness was. 'Take that Boris.'
Sanquinex quickly made his way forward and caught Tyson before the boy hit the ground; he smiled slightly as he noted the peaceful expression on the boys face. 'Well done Tyson, well done.'
Mr. Dickenson had, very quickly… Suspiciously quickly, organized a party, to celebrate the victory over BEGA, with every good team that the Blade Breakers had fought, King and Queen were there too, which offered some amusement…. He also probably wanted the bladers from all the different teams to get closer together, on friendly terms…
"I do not have a cousin named Taylor." Hiro as annoyed, cancel that, Hiro was very annoyed, people kept asking him about his alleged cousin, Hiro did not have a cousin, and a female cousin at that, he did not know any girls named Taylor who looked like his brother with violet eyes, sadly though, no one seemed to believe him.
"Come on Hiro, we know that she's your and Tyson's cousin, so just tell us where she is!" "I DO NOT HAVE A COUSIN!"
Tyson was rather enjoying watching the conversation between Hiro and many other people. 'I wonder why they're all so curious about 'Taylor'?' He glanced at Sanquinex, who also seemed to be amused at everyone's interest in Tyson's female form.
"Sanquinex, care to make this interesting?" Tyson said, eyes glinting rather evilly, Sanquinex briefly wondered what the hell the boy was thinking. "Your brother doesn't know 'Taylor' exists yet." Tyson smiled. "Well, he'd have to find out sometime that his little brother was also his little sister, right?" Sanquinex just gave him a look. "Well, if you are going to do what I think you're going to do, you'd better try and not get caught." Tyson just gave him an innocent look. "Me, get caught, never!"
Sanquinex sighed as Tyson left the room, obviously going to change into his other set of clothes and going to put himself through mental torment in order to become 'Taylor'. 'Well, at least this isn't going to be boring.'
Lupenex, noticing his brother's smile, wondered what was going on in his mind. (In this fic, the Dark Bladers are all brothers, k?) "What are you so happy about?" Sanquinex just smiled more. "We're going to have a special visitor soon." Lupenex was confused, very confused, and decided not to ask anymore questions.
Tyson wiped the tears from his eyes, but a smile was on his face, he knew one way to let Hiro knew who he was, and he mentally giggled at the shade of red Hiro's face was sure to become.
The chatter in the room stopped, so did the movement, Sanquinex just grinned.
"Hiro! It seems like just yesterday we were both in the park, and then you saw that girl you had a crush on and I pushed you down the slide, and then you landed right in front of her, and she pointed and laughed, and then, that boy came up and said that she should laugh at you because you were cute and he wanted you bear his child because he thought you were a girl."
………………….. Hiro quickly spat out his drink, eyes wide, and Taylor just smiled, giving him a hug and whispering in his ear. "Yes, I am who you think I am." "Tyyy-Taylor……….. It's good to see you again." The look he was sending her screamed, 'you had better explain this to me before I kill someone' and Taylor just smiled and skipped off.
"……. So, you looked like a girl as a child huh?" "Shut up Brooklyn." "She was really cute." "Shut up Brooklyn." "….." "………."
Taylor was having fun, too much fun, her inner turmoil was fading, and she was becoming calm, but she didn't notice, so it came as a shock to many people, one and all, when her eyes began to change colour…..
Taylor gasped, she was changing back, she could feel it, it hurt, her vision was blurring, fading away, going dark, she felt two rather familiar arms clasp her and she thankfully looked into Sanquinex's red eyes before closing her own.
Everyone looked on in shock as Taylor transformed into Tyson in Sanquinex's arms.
"What the hell just happened!"
FASH: Well, next chapter will show the origins of Tyson's curse, and incase you want to know, the last speaker was Kai, who is confused, and also, just so you know, all the guys in this fic, well, they're either going to be completely gay, or Bi, you want to know why? Because I don't know who to pair Tyson with yet, and I want a lot of options, soooo, yep, I'm going to be paring Tyson with any guy I think is hot, so, there's probably going to be one HUGE love decagon, so, just prepare yourself, this is going to be a monster of a fic. I, for one, am very proud of myself, because this chapter is seven and a half pages long, but don't get used to it, because soon I'll be going back to my two pages per chapter state of mind, but then I'll probably update more regularly… Soooo….
REVIEW!
