Hi everyone! I'm glad that some of you guys enjoyed chapter 2. I wasn't planning on updating so early but I have nothing else to do. Currently I'm looking for some inspiration, listening to music always helps me with that but if u guyzz have some suggestions, tell me. Okay, enjoy
Disclaimer yea I don't own beyblade but if I did I would make more romantic scenes between Tyson and Hilary.
OctoberOctober, I wished I just moved in this month or died. Not that it was bad or anything (sigh) but if I did move or die at least I wouldn't have to go through this now. This was the month were I got sucked back into his world and after it had taken me ages to get out.
(Back up to October)
I frowned as I intertwined the phone cord with my fingers. My stomach was starting to hurt from lying flat on it for so long. It had been an hour and a half and I barely got a chance to say anything other than 'hey' and 'what's wrong?'.
Roll eyes…I hear sobbing coming from the other end of the phone.
"It's okay Mariah. Y-you'll find something to wear to your date tomorrow"
"I know it's just….". I propped my head up on to my hand as I stared at a picture of Hiro and I.
"It's just what Mariah?…", I waited for an answer.
"I think he might dump tomorrow". I frowned. I kinda suspected that he would since it just seemed like Ray would never be interested in Mariah, I mean she was younger than him. What could they possibly have to talk about?
"Don't worry, Mariah. He won't dump you, he loves you right?", I heard no response. "He did tell you he loves you, rightttttttt?". Automatically, she began to cry. I followed by saying, I'm sure he loves you and why would he possibly want to dump you, (I can give you a million reasons), you're so beautiful.
"Thanks Hilary. So how's things between you and Hiro?"
"Uhhh…it's good. We just haven't talked for a while but it's only because he's got lots of work. I'm still waiting for his phone".
"Sure and you know if it doesn't work out between you and Hiro, you've always got your back-up"
I shoved some popcorn in my mouth and said.
"Oh? What's that?". She laughed but I was totally confused.
"His brother of course", she burst out laughing. I choked on my popcorn.
"Tyson! I can't date Tyson! I could never. I mean we're complete opposites. We don't even like the same things. I mean, even when we use to hang out all he would talk about was beyblading when I wanted to talk about other stuff"
"Calm down Hilary. I was joking. Why do you always get so stingy whenever someone mentions Tyson?"
"I don't", I mumbled.
"You two would be a dangerous combination anyways" she laughed but I didn't get the joke. " 'Kay I gotta go. Later."
I yawned as Mr. Kenchi took attendance.
"Mr. Kinomiya?…", the teacher sighed. "Has anyone seen Mr. Kinomiya?". Nobody answered. Although Kenny should've, he and Tyson are best friends. "Alright, Miss. Tachibana, if you see your lab partner, would you kindly tell him that he's failing", he said in his drowsy voice. He slapped a grade paper on my desk with a 36 written on it.
"Kenny!", I beckoned as I tried to catch up to him. He was a fast walker for a short guy. "Kenny, where's you know. Where is he?". We stopped in front of his locker.
"I have no idea", he answered. I would have gotten it out of him if I made him stare me in the eye, but the chief's eyes were covered all the time.
"Well, does he know that he's failing?"
"Probably…", he said, carelessly as he shoved books into his locker.
"Doesn't he care? Don't you guys care that you're friend is failing?", I asked, curiously.
"It's Tyson. You know him. He probably slept in. What can we do anyways? You were always the one who helped Tyson with school". Kenny left me standing there, somewhat puzzled and somewhat curious.
After school, I walked home in a different direction, an old direction that I haven't been down in a long time. I slowly strolled down the chalky white street until I reached a familiar large, wooden door. I stood there for the longest time, deciding on whether I should knock or not.
"Just do it Hilary. There's no need for conversation. Just hand it to him and run". I knocked lightly on the door but no answer. "Well, I guess nobody's home", I said, happily. I turned to leave but the door creaked open sluggishly. I brushed a piece of my brown hair out of my face, took a deep breath and entered.
I silently walked in but I didn't see anyone. I walked to the side of the dojo and saw a familiar face. He stopped brooming for a minute to look at me.
"Can I help you miss?", I didn't answer. I couldn't believe that grandpa hadn't changed one bit. "If you're looking for my home dog T-man, he ain't home right now".
"Oh…umm…where can I find him?", I couldn't blame grandpa for not remembering me but it felt good talking to grandpa again. I missed him, I missed coming to this place, there was something very serene about it all.
"He's probably down by the old bridge, clearing his thoughts. Little man's got a lot on his mind"
"Um…okay thank you, grandpa", I bowed.
"Do I know you, miss?" he asked as he edged towards me.
"No", I simply stated. I had left this behind me and that was where it was going to stay, or at least that's what I thought. Grandpa nodded his head and I left.
I walked down to the old bridge, another place where I had stopped going. It would bring back too many memories of the past. Searching around, I didn't see him. Maybe he had already left. What was I doing anyways? Why was I being so stupid? I had spent those two years avoiding him and now I'm looking for him.
I sat down at the top of the slanted hill, which led down to the river. So many memories here. I could see Ray, Max, Kai, Tyson and the chief all training down there. I could see everyone down there, Tyson challenging everyone so that he'd be ready for the last world champions I ever saw him perform at. I could hear them calling my name, like they had done so many times before, to come down there and help them train. I remember walking down the path behind me and having Tyson apologize to me for tearing up my training schedule. I remember sitting in that exact spot with Tyson and watching the golden sunset, just as I was doing then. So many memories. But why did it hurt so much? Thinking about them and everything about him.
Darkness began to flood the sky with little shiny dots appearing here and there. This was the best place to go to clear your mind. I should've come around there more often, try and forget the past. I lay down on my back and stared up. 'Maybe I could bring Hiro here'.
I smiled thinking of the time when we had the barbeque here and Tyson acted so angry with everyone when really all he wanted to do was eat like a pig. I shut my eyes and pictured Hiro. God that beautiful face with that heart-melting smile.
"What are you doing here?". My eyes shot open and saw Tyson under the light of the moon.
"Huh?', was my brilliant answer.
"I said what are you doing here?"
"Umm….I was suppose to give this to you but I couldn't find you so I….", he took the paper from my hand and stared at it for a minute, shrugged it off and crumpled it. "Don't you care that you're failing?"
"Nah, not really", he said simply. I didn't say anything after. I tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear and we didn't say anything to each other. I realized that it never use to be like this. I use to be able to talk to Tyson about anything; I mean we were good friends. I did everything with him; I went on vacation with him and his friends.
Something in his hand caught my eye. Could it possibly be that stupid toy that Tyson use to play with? A beyblade?
I got up and dusted myself off a little.
"Hey, sorry about you know,", he mumbled.
"About what?…"
"You know, your skirt…"
"That was a month ago, Kinomiya!"
"So, it's not like you gave me a chance to apologize". I rolled my eyes, I didn't want to start this again.
"I gotta go", I told him but before I left, "Tyson, if you need help", I cringed. "You know the school tutors students in the library. You coming to school tomorrow?". He looked down at the ground.
"What do you care? What are you even doing here, Hilary?", he asked, seeming exhausted.
"Actually I could ask you the same thing", I chuckled lightly but he didn't loosen up. This wasn't like him. "I told you I came here because Mr. Kenc-"
"That's not why you came here", he said calmly. He was starting to remind me of Kai, all this seriousness.
"Yes. Yes it is", I was becoming annoyed. "Look, if you think I came here to see you then you are way off, got that?"
"If you're sure…"
"I am. I mean why would I come here to see you! Oh nevermind!". I stormed off. He was nothing like his brother. Defiantly nothing like his brother. He was irrogant, loud mouthed, pig-headed and egotistic. How could he have honestly thought that I came there just to see him?
The next day, that idiot, Tyson didn't come to school again. At first I just ignored it but it began to bug me.
"Kenny, where's that dumbass, Tyson?", Kenny looked away from his experiment for a moment.
"I don't know Hilary"
"Well, you tell him if he doesn't come to class tomorrow I literally take the privilege of beating to the ground"
"Why don't you just tell him that yourself?", Kenny said as he tried to pour in the right amount of solution.
"Why should I have to care?"
"Right. So stop acting like you care and maybe it won't bug you anymore", Kenny said, finally dropping a drop of the liquid into his solution. I slammed my hand on his desk and his whole experiment toppled over. "Hilary!"
"F.Y.I Kenny, I don't care but I need a lab partner to help me complete all this stuff so I can get a good grade! I don't see how you can let Tyson slack off like that. You're his friend".
After school, Kenny and I both walked down to Tyson's house. I don't how Kenny got me to but he was pretty persuasive when he wanted to be.
As we entered, I heard a familiar swish sound. We passed by grandpa and Kenny casually said "hey grandpa".
"Hey chief. What's happening? Oh hello there miss. Here again to see Tyson? Little man's out back practicing with his buddies". I nodded and followed Kenny.
"You came here before?" Kenny asked me. I nodded.
"Yesterday".
We made it to the back of the dojo and in view came Ray and Tyson battling each other and Max sitting there, watching. Max saw Kenny and waved lively but stopped short when he saw me behind him.
"Come on Dragoon", I heard Tyson say roughly under his breath.
"You'll never beat Drigger, Tyson. We're just too good for you" Ray smirked.
I placed my bag down next to Max and put my hands on my hips. I walked over to where Tyson was and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
"Hey Tyson, your girlfriend's here!", Max yelled with his hands cupped around his mouth. Ray laughed while Tyson was just confused. He turned to me and almost lost his balance.
"What the hel—"
"Why weren't you in school today?', I asked angrily.
"What the hell are you doing?", he asked as his concentration went back to the game.
"I can't believe you Tyson! You're failing chemistry and probably every other class for this childish game"
"Shut up! Can't you see I'm trying to do something here? Hey!".
Ray called back Drigger and it mercilessly retrieved itself to its master hand.
"We aren't done", Tyson said angrily.
"You have something else to deal with", Ray said, hesitantly.
"Ignore her!", Tyson yelled.
"Excuse me", I said, insulted.
"Tyson, maybe you should be studying", Max offered.
"Maybe? Oh not maybe! He should be!", I said angrily.
"Who said you could come in here again and boss me around!"
"I've done it before, haven't I?", I grinned as the other three boys began to laugh.
"So why are you here?", Tyson crossed his arms and smirked.
"Oh don't try this bullshit again! I told you why I'm here!"
"Is that really why miss perfect is here?". Tyson circled me like a hawk does to a dead carcass.
"What? So now you're interrogating me?", I asked angrily.
"No, I just asked you a simple question". I was about to yell like crazy in his face when my phone began to ring. I shot Tyson a dirty look and looked at my cell phone. My heart stopped. Hiro.
"Aren't you going to pick it?", Max asked curiously. I couldn't ignore his call. We rarely got a chance to talk now but Tyson…and all them. I opened it up.
"Hey hon, Why'd you take so long to pick up the phone?", Hiro asked, sweetly.
"I was busy dealing with someone"
"Dealing with someone? I hope that's not a dirty joke?"
"No, I am literally dealing with a some jerk". I stuck my tongue out at Tyson and he rolled his eyes.
"Oh really. Well, maybe you could give that person the phone and I'll talk with him"
"No!", I exclaimed.
"Sorry, hon. I didn't know you wanted to deal with him. Listen, your birthday is in two months and I was thinking I'd drop by". I mouth plummeted.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. It's my baby's birthday and you don't think I'd want to drop by".
"Oh my god Hiro I love you!", My excited wore thin when I realized I had just said his name.
"I love you too baby but I have to go. Okay?", Hiro hung up and I waited for someone to ask me 'Hiro? Tyson'd brother, Hiro?', but nobody said anything.
"Home dawg's, get in here and starting eating that grub other wise it'll be all gone. Oh and Tyson, don't be a moron, invite your girlfriend in too".
"She's not my girlfriend!", Tyson bellowed.
Inside, we all sat there in uncomfortable silence. This was just so weird. I never thought I'd ever be back here except in the off chance that Hiro asked me to marry him, then I'd want to come with him to break the news of our hidden love to his family. It would be so romantic. All of us sat there just chewing silently, all of us that is except for Tyson.
"You eat like a pig", I commented calmly.
"So", he slurped. "You eat like a-a girl!"
"That's not even a comeback", I sipped my soup, coolly.
"It is too!" I guess Tyson was about to attack me because when I opened my eyes I saw Ray and Max fighting to hold him back.
"This is just like old times", Max said, smiling. We both cringed at the remark that Max made.
Of course after that, the boys went back to training with their stupid toys and Tyson totally ignored my threats about him having to attend school again but I wasn't a quitter.
I sat on the rock near the pond and watched as Max and Tyson launched their beyblades, Ray leaned against the wall quietly and Kenny typed away on his little laptop. This really did feel like old times.
Max went for the first attack but missed. His angle was off. Tyson of course impulsively attacked next. Their beyblades clashed for a bit but then they dispersed. I lost sight of Max's Draceil but Tyson's beyblade was still spinning in circles. I looked at Tyson. His eyes were darting in every direction. I could see that same intensity in his eyes that I had seen years before. There was so much in them but you never could guess what.
Max's back was towards me so I couldn't see if he was struggling or not, but Tyson I could see clearly. He looked up and our eyes fixed on each other. I could see into his eyes. Look away, Hilary! My mind kept telling me that but something was holding me back. Something wouldn't let me break the gaze I had on him.
"Tyson!", Max called. Tyson quickly shook his head and went back into the game. I looked away too. I felt it. I felt it deep and it hurt. It hurt so bad that I felt something wet drop down my cheek. I touched my cheek and I was shocked to find that I was crying. But why?
A huge blue light illuminated me and everything around me. I looked up in awe. Standing there, somewhat roughed up and exhausted was Tyson and above him was the almighty Dragoon. I had forgotten just how beautiful these, what did they use to call them, Bitbeasts. I had forgotten just how beautiful they were. I saw it there and I had seen it so many times before. Tyson and Dragoon were one. Not soon after, Max released Draceil. I put my hand up to block the brightness but I still watched. Their beyblades took hit after hit and I could see Tyson and even Max beginning to pant.
"Go Dragoon!". I stood up to get a better look. A huge force of wind blew Draceil out of the dish but it didn't stop there. I felt that wind, it was cutting me like daggers and my hair was flying in every direction. I had never felt so much pressure against my body. I tried to withstand my ground just like Max, Ray and other challengers did when they had to go up against Tyson's Dragoon. But I couldn't.
"Hil! Move!", I could hear someone's voice but I couldn't see them over all the wind and blue light. It was starting to consume me. Why wasn't anyone calling Dragoon off? The wind began to die down in front of me but not around me. I looked up and saw a recognizable figure. It looked like Tyson who had stepped in front of me. He had his arms spread out, almost as though he was protecting me.
"Dragoon stop!", he called out and I realized that Tyson wasn't able to control Dragoon's power. I felt weak and touched my cheek only to feel more wet stuff, only this time it wasn't my tears, it was my blood. This was real. I dropped to my knees and hugged my stomach. I felt sick. This isn't real! I'm not here. I'm not here. I'm-I'm-…..
"Hil", I hear a faint voice calling me but it seems so far away. Everything feels more calm now. "Hil-lar-yyyy". My eyes begin to open as I try and figure out what's going on. I hear other voices
"Hey, she's coming to". I squint as all I see are blinding blue flashes, that is until a figure comes into view.
"Hey, are you okay?", I hear his soft, caressing voice and I instantly melt.
"Hiro?", I ask softly. I let him pick me up and carry me wherever he wants. I shut my half open eyes and smile. I'm safe now. My Hiro is here. "Mm….you smell good", was the last thing I remember mumbling before I fell asleep in his arms.
to be continued
