What up, people! I might not update in a while, because my dad grounded me, on the most unfair terms ever! I got all 80s on my report card, except in French, Religion class, and Computers (I got Bs on those), and my dad flips! Seriously, he expects me to get 100 on everything! That's just plain insanity right there.

Well, whatever. I'm mad right now, so let's get on with it.

PS: I just found out that this fic has 2014 hits on it, so for all you non-reviewers out there, start reviewing! Thanks to all of you who reviewed!

Chapter 11: Whole Again

My breath staggered and my legs felt numb when I saw who called my name. His breath was labored, his hair limp. Covered in sweat and was calling me was none other than…

It was Tyson.

"Hilary, is that you?" he whispered, the light breeze carrying his words to me. I gulped my throat dry. How did he…when did he get here…?

"Tyson…how…I mean, when…" my voice had staggered and no words could form anymore. Just seeing him here….I can't believe it!

My feet moved, and my legs were taking me to him, little by little. It was all sub-conscious, and it was like I had no control over what my body wanted. I wanted to be near him…

"Tyson!" I exclaimed happily, jumping into his arms when I was close enough to him. He grinned stupidly when I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Don't do that again, Hil." He said lightly, as his arms went to my back. I chuckled slightly. He really needed to catch up on what was going on.

"Tyson…I don't think I can help it anymore." I said, and he pulled away from the embrace to stare me intently in the eye. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. By his tone, he was getting impatient.

So, I told him. I told him about The Blade, the journey to Ramiro, the Battle of the Beasts, and the good and bad sealed in my beyblade. Tyson listened carefully, frowning at all the bad parts, which was basically everything.

"So…when does this battle start?" Tyson asked, scratching his head. I laughed at that. He was so confused!

"When strangers from another land come." I said. He thought a bit, crossing and uncrossing his legs, before he got it. "US!" he exclaimed. I nodded, sitting on the ground.

"Which is the exact reason why we're all here." I said to him, before yawning. Man, all that training is so exhausting! It was even worse than beyblading.

Tyson grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. I blinked up at him in confusion, before he said "Come on, the others would want to see you too."

My eyes widened happily as I grinned. They are all here! I thought excitedly, as we walked through the meadow, heading into the village. But…I still have to say something to Tyson…

"Tyson?" I said anxiously. He looked down at me, "Yeah?"

I played with my hands nervously and kicked some grass. "Well, the thing is…I'm sorry. You know, with the thing about Ben. The date I had with him? Yeah, um…" I babbled nervously. He laughed, and grinned sheepishly. "I know, Hil. You're saying that you shouldn't have trusted him, and I was right…"

I slapped him playfully on his arm. "Not really, no. Um…I just wanted to say, that I don't want you to stay out of my life." I muttered, hoping he wouldn't and would catch that. He looked at me for a bit, before putting his arm over my shoulder.

"So, I can meddle and annoy you as much as I want?" he asked silly. I groaned and slapped my forehead. "Obviously not." I replied. Jeez, when you try to be reasonable to Tyson, he just throws it back at ya!

But…I glanced up at Tyson, and entangled my fingers in his. Red settled on our faces, and we chuckled to ourselves. I wouldn't have it any other way.

After walking quite a bit, we finally arrived at Yelena's house again. Hilary smiled and gave Yelena a hug when she saw her, and I grabbed her back, and dragged her into the house. The others would want to see her first, and, I didn't want her to get too attached here. After all, we wouldn't be staying.

"In here." I said. I knocked on the door, and called in. "Me and Hilary are coming in." I said, before opening the door. Hilary blushed a little, and followed me inside the room. I don't think she had this much attention before. But, I must admit, she looks a bit cute blushing.

"Hilary!" Max called, launching himself at the brunette. She smiled, and gave him a huge bear hug. I stepped back, and watched everyone greet her.

"Hey, Kenny." She said, bending down and planting a kiss on Kenny's forehead. He blushed a bit, and adjusted his goggles perched on his head. "Hi, Hilary. Great to have you back." He babbled, walking back to let Ray hug her also.

"Hil, we were so worried." Ray said, and she smiled lightly. "Sorry about that." She finally said, releasing him from the embrace.

Kai stood behind Ray, and when Ray stepped aside, Hilary was shocked to see him. They stared at each other for a bit, before Kai held out his hand. His head was turned away, but he had a twinkle in his eye everyone else probably saw.

Hilary smiled lightly, and put her hand in his. I twitched a bit, but I assured myself that they don't feel that way for each other. Kai thinks of her as a little sister.

"Oh, whatever." Said Kai frustrated, before pulling her hand toward him, making her come forward, and he gave her a small hug. I noticed Hilary had a flush on her cheeks and a very shocked reaction. She patted him on the back awkwardly, then let go.

"So…I better get home." She said, grinning at everyone. I blinked a few times. "What, you don't stay here?" I asked her.

She shook her head. "No, I stay at Zorion's house, a little bit over there. I'll introduce you tomorrow." She said, turning away.

"Wait, I'll walk you!" I cry, running after her. She waited for me a bit, and we walked out of Yelena's house. We walk in silence, unsure what we say next. I mean, it's not like we're strangers, but we've been apart for so long…

At last, we reach a small looking house, a bit bigger than Yelena's. I could hear a child laughing inside, and a man speaking. Wait…who is she staying with anyway?

"Well, I better go. See you tomorrow." she says hurriedly, putting a kiss on my cheek. She runs inside the house, probably because she knows I'll make a big deal of her staying with a dude.

I'll ask her about it tomorrow, I decide, shoving my hands in my pockets, and walking back to Yelena's place,

I'm just happy that we're all whole again.

That's all for chapter 11! I might not update soon enough, but I'll try! Oh, and the song I like right now is Move Along by the All-American Rejects. They rule!
