ok, starting now, there'll be no posts for two weeks. So this will have to last you just two weeks because I already finished the next chapter (I need more things to do...)
Chapter 34: Destiny
That night, the Bladebreakers stayed in a hotel. Tysa still didn't come back. Pretty soon it had started to rain and the Bladebreakers looked out the windows. They hadn't told Hilary and Kenny about the cavern, and weren't planning to. The news of their destiny plus the rain made their spirits more depressed. The discreetly dimming Kairi sat on a table, not making any motions at all. Soon, Ray stood up and moved towards the door. No one said anything or stopped him. They were so wrapped up in their thoughts that they didn't notice the Kairi had gone as well.
Tysa was grateful for the rain. For once, the rain could hide her tears. When it got harder, her wings came out and started to shield her, for her hat had fallen off a while back.
"Go away." Tysa sobbed to them. "I don't want this, or any of it. I just want to be me." The wings didn't budge. As if sensing her sadness, the end of one of the wings lightly touched Tysa's ear. Tysa buried her face in her legs even more.
"Go away." She sobbed again. She didn't want anyone's pity. She never did. When her mom died, she had convinced herself that she was no longer the same person she was, and became Tysa. She became alone and accepted it. She was supposed to be alone.
"Mizuki…" a light voice called. Tysa looked up. There was no one there expect the moon. She put her face back in her legs.
"Stupid Kairi. Stupid wings. Stupid, stupid, stupid." She whimpered.
"Tysa." A soft voice behind her called. Tysa didn't look up.
"Go away." She sniffed. "Please…". She was answered by the rain around her suddenly stopping. An umbrella was being place over her. Tysa looked to the side of her and saw compassionate brown eyes.
"Tysa." Ray said softly. Tysa felt more tears come to her and she reburied her face.
"Please, Ray. Just…go away." She sobbed. Ray stayed put.
"Are you really so sad you don't even want to see me?" he asked. Tysa didn't answer.
"You must think I'm a total mess." She sniffed. Ray shook his head.
"I could never think that about you." He answered as he brushed some of Tysa's long hair behind her ears, giving him a better view of her face.
"But I am." She sniffled again. "I can't do anything right. Look at me. I can't even get you to go away." Ray chuckled a bit. "I'm being serious."
"I'm sorry, Tysa." He said, although he did think that was funny. Tysa cast a look at her still visible wings.
"And these ugly things are a part of me and I still can't get them to leave." She groaned.
"Your wings aren't ugly." Ray touched one of them and it gave a faint glow. "They're beautiful."
"You don't have them." Tysa put her face back in her legs. "You weren't chosen as the matter to tip the scale. You don't have an annoying counterpart."
"You're right." Ray agreed. "What I do have is a best friend who's so depressed I can't do anything about it and it kills me." That surprised Tysa. She remembered back to a thought from a while ago, that the Bladebreakers had become her only friends. Tysa mentally shook her head.
"If you all didn't become a team, you wouldn't have said that." She sobbed. "It was destiny that we became friends, and I…I don't want destiny."
"It wasn't destiny for us to become a team, Tysa." Ray told her. "But, one way or another, we would've met—the both of us." That also surprised Tysa. Did Ray really think that much of her? "So, I'm going to stay here until you feel better. Ok?" Tysa looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"That might be a while." She sniffed. "Tell me when the rain ends." Ray gave her a gentle smile and kissed her forehead, as a way to comfort his best friend. But soon, he started kissing away the tears that were falling from her eyes and then moved to her mouth. Then, Ray realized what he was doing and separated. The rain was the only noise between them.
"Here." Ray took something out of his pocket. "You left this." He held out the Kairi to her. Tysa took it and looked at it.
"Tysa and Tyson…" she murmured. "They aren't our real names."
"Huh?" Ray asked, confused.
"After mother died…our actual names reminded us too much of her…because she gave them to us. So, we used our middle names, and got Tysa and Tyson. Soon, they pretty much became our real names, because everyone called us that." Tysa explained. She smiled at Ray. "Even the hospital thought they made a mistake on our birth certificates." Ray couldn't help smiling as well. Tysa stood up and Ray stood up as well. Tysa still smiled at Ray.
"Mizuki…" Tysa smiled. "is my real name. But don't call me that in public. Everyone thinks I'm Tysa." Ray smiled and they walked towards the hotel.
"Wait, so what's your brother's real name?" Ray asked, holding the umbrella over the both of them. Tysa grinned.
"Why don't you ask him. See if he can actually remember. I had to. Why should the youngest of my idiot brothers have the easy road?" she asked. Ray smiled and sighed. Tysa seemed back to normal. (about eighty somethin' more words to reach normal quota. 81)
"You know, Ray?"
"Yes?"
"I remember Mom always saying how she ran from destiny, but it kept following her. I think I'm doing the same thing. I think I lucked out though. Mom had an annoying conscience. I have an annoying fourteen-year-old Chinese male. Wait, on second thought…no on third thought, I did luck out."
"How?" Ray asked. Tysa smirked.
"I can actually hit you." Ray widened his eyes as he turned back to in front of him.
"Remind me to leave you depressed next time." He said. Tysa laughed.
"Well, I might remember you always cheer me up, and I'll only hit you once."
"That's reassuring…"
"Isn't it?" Tysa smiled. "Yep, it's my…destiny to be a violent, temperamental, humorous, happy, beyblading, martial artist that cross dresses." Ray laughed.
"What a description you have there." He said.
"Yep. I'm just special." Soon, the rain started to clear up, revealing the bright moon.
Toki limped out of the destroyed base. Toki wasn't in a good mood, considering that Chaos had just destroyed a considerable amount of the base, with no remorse. Just when Toki thought things couldn't be worse, Ciro was walking in with his dragon carrying and unconscious Manasa.
"What happened to her?" Toki asked, more out of curiosity than concerned. Ciro looked at Toki, then the base, then back to Toki.
"What happened to the base?" he asked.
"Chaos." Toki growled. Ciro's eyes bulged.
"Tell me you mean the concept." He pleaded.
"She lives, Ciro." Manasa groaned, waking up. "I saw her. She's powerful."
"Great." Ciro groaned, putting a hand to his forehead. "Now we have two of the brats to deal with. Karsen obviously is missing some brains in his head to try to make Chaos on our side…"
"Not that it matters. Chaos destroyed Karsen and the machine as well." Toki told them.
"Tell me you're kidding me." Ciro said. "Now there's no way to put Chaos and Peace back together!"
"What are you talking about, Ciro?" Toki asked, eyes glaring from behind the hood.
"When Karsen made that machine, he made three tanks. One for Chaos, one for Peace, and the other for two combined, so that, if needed, he could put the two back together. With that machine gone, they'll be separate forever!" Ciro told them.
"So?" Manasa groaned. "What's so bad about that?"
"Chaos is an extension!" Ciro growled. "If she doesn't get energy from the main host or go back together with Peace, she'll disappear! And if a part of Peace disappears, so will Peace itself!"
"So?" Manasa asked.
"Don't be so foolish!" Toki yelled. "It they both disappear, this world will be in a permanent calamity, and there'll be nothing to stop it!"
for those who don't know what calamity means, it means the exact opposite of calm. When I first saw this word I actually thought it meant calm. Guess it shows how smart I am. Megatokyo rulz!
