Chapter 7: Oddness, Beyblades, and Three
What happened yesterday? I mean, it's one thing when my normal attacks don't work, but my Chaos End attack didn't! That's not right! And that flash of light…beyblades don't normally do that! At least…I think they don't-waah!
Tysa rubbed her head when she fell. "Ow…"
"You ok, Tysa?" Ray asked. It's been two weeks since they started sparring together, a month and two weeks until the tornament.
"Yeah…I'm fine, Ray. Just lost in thought." Tysa stood up, grateful that no one else was there. They decided on private training sessions so there was no pressure.
"Are you thinking about yesterday?" Ray asked. Tysa looked up, then back down. "It's ok. This isn't the first time someone came after out bit-beasts. And it definitely isn't the first time someone tied." Tysa gave a slight smile.
"Thanks." She knew that he was trying to cheer her up, but it wasn't working. The only way to make it better was to beat the crap out of that Honey Dude thing or whatever. ( Hún Dún, Tysa…¬¬… Tysa: Whatever)
"Oh, yeah, Ray, there's something I wanted to tell you."
"What is it?" Ray asked as they started sparring again.
"Well, I believe in the concept of equivalent exchange. So I feel that I should give you something in return for these lessons." Ray suddenly stopped.
"Like what?" he asked. Tysa shrugged.
"I dunno. Anything you want I guess…" Ray thought about that for a while.
Whatever I want, huh… Suddenly, an image of Tysa in his arms came to mind.
Ray's current face: O O
No no no no no no no no! Ray started to bang his head to a nearby tree. (It works for me…not that I get thoughts like that.)
"Um…" Tysa watched Ray with worry, "Do I need to separate you two?"
"What?" Ray stopped, his face flushed. "Oh, no I'm fine, Tysa! Um…how about we stop practice for today?" At that moment, Ray would of done willingly anything to leave.
"Uh…ok?" Tysa watched Ray zoom out as fast as she said that. Still worried she looked at the sky. "Did I do something wrong?"
"What's going on?" Ray asked himself once he was away from Tysa. When she had first came, everything was fine, and Ray thought it would be good to have a girl 'blader on the team. Then, his heart slowly started to race when she was around, and espically when they were alone.
But no! She's the younger sister of both Tyson and Hitoshi! I'm too young to die!, Ray thought. He sighed. He would have to see her again tomorrow…
Why him?
Tysa walked home, forgetting about Ray. He had been acting awkward anyway, and she would ask if she could help tomorrow. But at least he was speaking to her. Ever since she had gotten here, she has had a normal conversation with everyone except Kai. Started out arguing, he would now not say anything to her, unless it was critical. She hated that. A clock bell sounded a while away. It was 7:00. Sunset. She knew where Kai was now…
Kai looked at the sunset, closed his gray eyes, then drew a bit on his current drawing. Why was drawing Tysa so hard? Why did everything have to be perfect? He sighed. Maybe it would be easier if he saw Tysa in the expression he wanted, but all that could come out his mouth were argues and critiques. He hated that. He looked back to his sketch pad, not acknowledging the person who sat in front of him.
"Speak of the devil herself," he said without looking up.
"Har har. I didn't know you had a sense of humor, Kai." Kai rolled his eyes. Well, if it's the truth…
"What do you want, Tysa?"
"A normal conversation." Kai looked up.
"Huh?" Tysa sighed.
"Nevermind." She reached out and snatched the sketchbook from Kai's hands.
"Hey!" Kai made to grab for it, but Tysa gave a warning glare that said "no". A victim of not listening before, Kai moved back with a reluctant, angry glare. Tysa looked through the sketchbook as if nothing had happened.
"Say, Kai…"
"What is it?" Kai growled.
"I'm the only one who knows about this, right?"
"Yeah."
"Why? You're good." Kai flushed a bit. That's the first time anyone had complemented his drawings, at least, in a while…
"Oh, wait. Are you one of those guys that need to conserve an image?" Tysa asked bluntly. Kai glared. Tysa was starting to really annoy him. Then he noticed she hadn't turned the page in a while.
"Which one are you looking at?" he asked without thinking.
"This one of Ray." Tysa answered. She sighed wistfully.
Wait…Kai thought, Does she like Ray? Then for some reason he felt that getting rid of Ray just became a priority. He shook his head. It wasn't like Kai liked Tysa, too, and so what if Tysa liked Ray?
"Here." Tysa said suddenly. He held out the sketchbook it front of her. "I…I have to go home. See you tomorrow, Kai." Kai took the sketchbook and Tysa walked off. Kai shook his head again. He didn't care if Tysa liked Ray…..or if Ray liked Tysa back.
"Let it rip!" Tysa and Max started beybattling the next day. Kenny wanted data on how many hits Max's defense could take, and with Tysa's beyblade it would take faster. Suddenly, Max's beyblade flew back to his hand, and the Kairi kept spinning for a while, then returned.
"You know, you don't have to brag like that…" Max muttered. Tysa gave a small laugh, considering she had wanted the Kairi to return earlier…
"So, about…49 hits. Then you might need to bring out Draciel, Max." Max nodded.
"I vote we have a lunch break now!" Tyson declared suddenly.
"But we just started, Tyson." Ray stated.
"So?" Tyson asked innocently, "I hadn't eaten anything in two hours!"
"That's just like Tyson, always thinking of he stomach." Hilary complained.
"Hey, I can't help when I'm hungry!" Tyson yelled. Tysa sighed. Then inspiration struck her, and I mean the evil kind.
"Why don't you guys just admit you like each other already?" Tysa smirked.
"What!" Tyson and Hilary yelled at the same time.
"Well, where I come from, when a girl points out all the bad points and the guy argues whenever he can, it means they have mutual feelings for each other."
"Well, if the feeling's not being able to stand each other, then I agree." Tyson turned to the opposite side and crossed his arms and Hilary did the same towards the other side. Tysa smirked. She found one fun thing to do, and that was pester them about their feelings.
"Anyway, shouldn't we be thinking about the tournament?" Kenny asked, begging for a change in conversation.
"Yeah, now that we know that the Saint Shields are one of the teams, we have work extra hard," Tyson stated.
"Are they really that powerful?" Tysa asked, being that she wasn't in the second season. Tyson nodded.
"At one point, they had these invisible bit beasts, but problem solved now," Ray told her. Tysa smiled in her mind. At least Ray was still talking to her. Kai couldn't help glaring at Ray's friendliness at Tysa. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
I don't care….I don't care.
