DISCLAIMER: I, KAIHIL FANFICTION DON'T OWN BEYBLADE. I JUST OWN THIS FIC.
thank you so much readers for this much love,and hate; you gave to this sequal and why am I so sarcastic right now? I drank coffee!
Riti: on with this fic.
Interesting..., BBA Revolution had asked for a friendly match from Blitzkrieg boys and surprisingly kai had agreed for this beybattle. he didn't know the exact reason behind this deal but it was worth of shot since he also wanted to test Tyson's skills by his own way.
It was planned on tomorrow noon, so he thought it would be waste of time if he denied.
First he didn't want to do anything since his precious daughter was there. he wanted to give his all time to her, he didn't even called Hilary b/c he knew if he told her about Hikari-chan's return. she would definitely cry out to come and meet her. second, it would definitely disturb her studies. third, her parents wouldn't allow her to come her and fourth, she would cry for hours again, once Hikari-chan departure for his time. so, he decided to keep her presence a secret from hilary. moral of the story, hilary shouldn't know about Hikari-chan's presence and it would be super easy b/c kai thought hilary was in Japan, totally unaware of her presence, didn't know that Hilary had planned a surprise for him, that she was in Egypt and coming to meet him. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... let's see!
TSUKI'S HOME_
CURRENTLY SAME DAY, (BEFORE HIKARI-CHAN ARRIVED)_
~[11:00AM]~
"READY TO DEPARTURE!" Hilary cheered n.n with excitement like a 4 y/o little girl and who comes in your mind when you heard this, our precious Hikari-chan, right?
"Why so excited?" tsuki said in her calm tone as she blinked like she was already done with her life.
"B/C WE ARE IN-" hilary went to her sister and hugged her "-EGYPT!" actually, she was dying to meet kai. n.n
"yeah-yeah!" she agreed as she shook her head like it was throbbing and she left her home, leaving Hilary behind with her fantasy.
"HEYY! DON'T LEAVE ME!" Hilary yelled in hurry.
"TSUKI! LOOK AT THIS!" Hilary grabbed her shoulder as showed her the thing she found exciting. she was doing this everytime whenever she saw something Egyptian!
"it's just a telephone pole, hilary" she hissed as she pressed the bridge of her nose when her forehead nerve popped out.
"yeah! but in egypt!" as said as stars appeared in her suby red eyes "it's different!"
"yeah!~" Tsuki mushroom sighed as her eyes rolled backwards 'the cement might be'
"heyy! look at these clothes!" Hilary's eyes gleamed with joy as she grabbed her sister's attention again.
"you liked it? I will buy it for you" she straightforwardly offered as she bought out the Egyptian money.
"oh Tsuki! you are best, no! you are the bestest best sister amoung all!" Hilary micked out with happiness and hugged her sister very tightly as ger eyelids squeezed. This time, Tsuki's lips slightly curled up. she couldn't hold it anymore. she was delighted from inside to make her sister happy.
"that's enough" she said as she came back from hug "now select!"
"I'm confused between this and that one-" Hilary said as she was having hard time deciding the colour of her dress. one was creamy white with High neck and sleeveless while other was purple with wide neck and full sleeves. (AN: remember the dress she wore in . during 4th round of world championships)
"do fast" tsuki said as she checked the time in her wristwatch b/c she was running late of their schedule to show her other places too "it's already 12:00PM NOW" she reminded her again.
"I'M TRYING MY BEST!" Hilary yelled in air and puffed her cheeks. tsuki should help to choose her but no, she decided to stay out.
When Hilary got engaged in her thoughts again she heard a very familiar voice.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" a teenage guy's screeched came to her ears.
"GOU!" her head jolt up as she suddenly recognised the voice. it definitely belonged to gou, she could recognise it in the crowd of thousands. she instantly looked around to find the source but saw nothing familiar to her.
"wha-" before Tsuki could say to Hilary's sudden change of mood. "this one!" She threw the purple outfit to her. Hilary ran away in the direction of the source of that voice. Even though she had no idea about the route of these streets but she couldn't help when she heard his scream.
"GOU WHERE ARE YOU!" Hilary yelled in the same direction and looked around if she could get his sight.
She found a group of young girls, probably her age, crowded in the corner, yelling and screaming in excitement.
"I LOVE YOU KAI! YOU ARE SO HANDSOME!" one of them committed loudly in English on the street. there was half of male fans too who wanted to see kai or atleast have beybattle with him.
"NO! I LOVE YOU! PLEASE MARRY ME!" and other were screaming this and that too. But when Hilary's ear caught those words, a fire flickered in her heart. she got furious and wanted to beat them all. How could someone even dare to dream of kai while she had already claimed him!? Well! they could, it's she who decided to keep their relationship in secret!
"FOR GAWD SAKE! I'M NOT HIM!" the person yelled again while running away from them.
She went there but surprised when she got a single glance of that troubled person. it was none other than-
"GOU!" she uttered unexpectedly as her eyes widened. Of course, only she could tell difference between Kai and Gou. If you stand them once against eachother, then people could barely tell 1-2 differences but hilary could tell thousands without any help.
3...
Hilary crawled down through their legs and grabbed gou's feet,
2...
bought him on his feets too. after she grabbed his wrist and-
1...
RUN!
As fast as they could, pushing them aside, leaving behind those groupies and male fans, "HEYYY! CATCH HER! SHE STOLE MY KAI!"
"GET HER! I WANT TO HAVE BEYBATTLE WITH KAI!"
Hilary ran back to that shop, Since she had no idea of roads. They stopped in a very narrow alley, so no one would bother to look for them there. They both were panting, also leaning on eachother with the support of wall.
"Thanks for the help but I'm telling you I'm not-" before he could say further he recognised the person "-MOM! is this you!" he wondered and cleared his doubt.
"who else you think!?" she huffed, still catching her breath.
"mom! you are awesome! how did you recognised me!?" gou asked as it could never come in his mind that his mom would come to save him, it still not feel real to him.
"it would be shame for me if I couldn't but-" she said as she finally came to normal and stood on her own support "FIRST TELL ME WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" she said as she grabbed his shoulder.
"I will-" before gou could finish his sentence. Hilary's phone rang, she immediately bought out from her pocket and picked it up when she read caller ID, it was kai. She took a long breath and politely greeted him.
"hello!" she said in soothing voice with a genuine smile. gou was fascinated by her mom's sudden change in tone. bohoo! now he couldn't tease his parents anymore to embarrass themselves but wasn't it pretty soon.
Hilary gave a single stare to gou who sigh like he didn't want her to tell kai about him right now and first Hilary ached his eyes with anticipation but then slowly nodded as agreement.
"oh god!" Hilary growled in air as her head bobbled.
"what happened" gou chuckled to see his mom's funny reaction.
"I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE HERE! IN THIS TIME!" she said as she also expressed herself by signing through her hands by fling her arms in air.
"really! then look at yourself, you changed so much in less time" gou commented.
"and you didn't. not at all!" Hilary replied in same tone.
"yeah! B/c it was only a week ago for me when I time-travelled last time." gou explained his point.
"ohh! but it had been one and half years for us!" he could say she missed them a lot, just by hearing her words. and when she said us, it involved kai too but on other side, his mind stopped processing to get this piece of information.
"WHAT!" gou couldn't respond. wait! what time it is? didn't he came back in same time to find out about setsuko, so how the heck he leapt in wrong time? and not 1-2 days approximately but ONE AND HALF YEAR! Something definitely messed up. he remembered he used the the same amount of potential energy to open the window, then how it varying this much!? if he wasn't faulty there that meant someone else definitely messed up with timeline.
"what's the matter, gou?" Hilary concerned to see unexpected response.
"oh! nothing! it's just you changed so much" gou uneasily answered, he knew teen Hilary couldn't do anything about this error, so it's better to not involve her.
"oh! btw why you stopped me from telling kai abou-" before Hilary could complete her sentence, someone interrupted them.
"WHO IS HE!?" Tsuki interrupted them as she was clearly very mad when Hilary ran away out of the Blue. it really concerned her b/c she knew Hilary didn't know the whereabouts. she had to handbags in her both hands. she actually bought the both dresses which Hilary was confused about.
"he...uhhh..-" Hilary was trying her best ti concentrate her all creativity to come up with logical answer under pressure of fear of her sister.
"I'm her favourite son, you got problem, Oba-san?(aunty)" once again, gou was just as straightforward as kai. he answered with proud grin.
"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU JUST SAID!" Tsuki literally burst out and denied to believe on this answer.
"why did you said that to her!?" Hilary whispered to him as she hit him with her elbow.
"now oba-san won't think I'm your son! b/c she couldn't believe" gou whispered back with wink.
"he loves to joke around. gou meet my cousin sister, Tsuki. tsuki, he is gou, my friend's younger brother!" Hilary nervously laughed as she playfully slapped on his shoulder. it's pretty interesting that now they both were almost same height but gou was slightly taller b/c last time the difference between their height was clearly visible.
"HEINNN! who? me?" gou uttered dumbfoundedly the he looked at Hilary.
"G-O-U! now stop joking" hilary hissed as she pinched the skin in the back with toothy smile on her face. n.n#
"uuuu!...yeah! I'm Sorry. I wouldn't joke anymore" gou answered as he rubbed the backside of his head with apologised look.
"How did you meet him!?" Tsuki asked in deadpan voice.
"do you remember, I told you about the famous sport Beyblade and my friends yesterday?" Hilary started as she sounded slightly guilty for no reason.
"uh-huh! what's with them?" Tsuki gave sigh to continue.
"the 4th round of world's championship are held here, so he also came to support his brother, right gou!?" Hilary continued then looked at gou to see if he was playing along well.
"yup!" he answered at his mom's look.
"Actually they also have a friendly match with the Japan's team tomorrow. so, I had decided to surprise my japanese friends" Hilary lied very well which fit in this scenario.
"gou was also roaming around the market and he told me, he didn't tell his brother either about his visit, so he will give surprise to his brother who is playing from Russian team!"
"Russian!?" Tsuki repeated as she raised her eyebrow "but he looks like totally a typical Japanese boy; then Russian!?" did their parents also had love marriage like hers.
"well they are Japanese but His brother is playing from Russia's side" Hilary answered.
"WHYYYY!" Tsuki demanded.
"Uhhh... it's long story" Hilary sighed as her energy warn out.
"ok!" Tsuki nodded "but it's very bold of him to do something for his own passion" she was talking about kai but she was observing Hilary when she talked about kai like she was very much familiar with that guy, like she knew him very personally. tbh, Tsuki was being possessive big sister who didn't want hilary to hook-up with some weirdo(the main reason was that she recently broke-up with her long time boyfriend). that's why she was against with her dating so soon.
"YUP!" Hilary helped.
"so!?" tsuki new there was more to say for her b/c she was very very familiar with Hilary's antics.
"so what!?" Hilary played dumbfounded.
"the way you are behaving, you definitely looking for a favour from me" Tsuki finally answered.
"YUP! TSUKI, CAN WE LET HIM STAY WITH US TONIGHT SINCE HE HAVE NOWHERE TO GO!? PLEASE" she requested by intertwining her hands and bowed from waist like she was praying her goddess.
"uhhh!" now it's difficult for her to turn her request down "I definitely wouldn't let any rando to let in my home beside this are you telling me that he came into this country without planning?" she gave her point.
"he isn't some rando. I know him very well. he had helped me several times and now it's my turn return the favour, he also told me that someone stole his luggage and all the stuffs he don't even have single yen left for himself" hilary answered innocently as her intentions were clear and pure. ofcourse she couldn't left her kid on road to survive by himself.
"why are you familiar with these type of guys!" she grunted as she agreed.
"uhh..." Hilary requested again "...b/c they are nice!" as she titled her head with pure smile.
"I'll see!" Tsuki said as she glared gou and surprisingly gou returned typical Tsuki look. He knew his aunty very well in future, he used to tease her a lot. so, he would definitely do it in this time too "why don't you contact your parents immediately?" now a new debate started b/w tsuki and gou.
"I can't!" he straightforwardly answered like he didn't even care that he lost his everything.
"why not?" Tsuki narrowed her eyes while Hilary facepalmed by scene, didn't know if she should interrupt.
"b/c they went on their 30th honeymoon and left me behind and also told me not to bother them" gou straightly answered again.
When gou said that, Tsuki's eyes widened, finally she got someone who could understand her frustration while Hilary stared at gou with questioning look as his eyebrows ached.
"You can live in my place as long as you want" Tsuki immediately said without changing her facial expression.
Hilary exhaled, atleast one problem down and now what's next? yeah! inform kai about this all drama.
Hilary and gou was sitting in living room while tuski went to prepare the guest room for gou. meanwhile she explained every single thing of this time to gou so could make decisions to do next "Tomorrow. we will go to meet kai. it would be double surprise for him" hilary answered as she told him about her surprise and stuffs, also her status with kai, for some reason gou was content to see that the things were going in right direction.
"I can't!" gou politely denied.
"and why not and btw why did told me not to mention you to kai earlier?" Hilary asked in duotone with demanding gesture.
"b/c I'll be leaving in few hours already, so I just don't want to bother him and please don't mention about my visit either" he answered.
"oh! already?" Hilary frown deeply with disappointment. she knew if he was here for work then, she couldn't do anything to stop him. BOOHOO:((((
"so, you and dad are finally together" Gou teasing asked with grin on his lips as he changed the topic.
"ehhhh! not really!" she rolled her eyes with unstable gesture, like she was embarrassed WHICH SHE WAS!
"Whhhhyyyyyy!" gou couldn't understand what's wrong wit her mother, now even her father was ready then where they were lacking "what you waiting for, mom!" he asked curiously as he was running out of patience. he was somehow getting subconscious about his existence.
Hilary rolled her hear with unease as she exhaled as she didn't want to talk about this topic. oh boi!
"hey! wait. you still didn't tell me why you don't want me to tell kai about you?" Hilary bought back the previous topic.
"will it change anything?" gou said as he raised his right eyebrow.
"uhm!" Hilary boredly narrowed her eyes on him. he should be more respectful to kai "I get it, he wouldn't be able to do anything about you but it'll definitely make him happy to see you again!" Hilary politely raised her points.
"and give him stress and pressurized him too. let's dad concentrate on his match. my presence won't make much difference" gou answered coldly with closed eyes but Hilary's eyes widened when gou emitted Kai's aura from him. now, she couldn't denied his presence. 'dad would definitely divert his attention from this Championships to me if he found out about my presence in this time. I'm relieved that mom couldn't read my fear but dad would read me immediately. I was shocked when he immediately read me when I previously visited them' gou thought as he was having hard time to deal with his problems.
"gou, what's the matter?" Hilary worriedly mumbled as she rest her hand on his shoulder when she saw the tense expression on his face.
"I'm...fine" he said as he loosened his muscles "trust me, I'm fine!" he said as tried to bring a trembling smile on his face.
Hilary thought if he didn't want to tell her then it's better if she didn't force him either.
"the room is ready for you!" Tsuki said as she entered in living him and gave hard glare to the duo.
She sighed gou to follow her as he did but both Hilary and gou stood up from their seats.
"gou!" she one last time called him through whisper "if there has anything you want to share. I want to tell you that I'm here to listen, okay?" she politely said in sympathetic tone "even if I won't be able to do anything but it may help you to loosen up" she said as gou left with nod while she stood there on her grounds meanwhile Tsuki was watching them slightly, trying to connect the connection of logic in their conversation.
When Hilary and tuski came face to face hilary uttered with any reason "he is still worried about his luggage and stuffs and don't know how to bring that conversation to his brother" she said as she nervously laughed.
"understandable" Tsuki said as she didn't even asked for her words of wisdom.
CURRENTLY SAME DAY_
~[02:00PM]~
"Kai, don't you think we should have a practice match before tomorrow's beybattle with BBA-revolution?!" tala informed him. BBA-revolution had asked their team for a friendly Beybattle. First, tala thought it's some kind of their thick to know Blitzkrieg boys special moves and techniques but kai knew Tyson and kenny wasn't like this, so he thought it's worth of shot. they accepted the invitation which was tomorrow on morning 10AM in Egypt's most popular Beyblade training centre who located nearby who was hosting the 4th round of Beyblade World Championships too, but reality was different.
When Hilary planned to came Egypt, she actually contact hiro and requested him to ask for an friendly match with BBA, so she could actually surprise him and ofcourse she didn't tell hiro about kai and her. For some reasons, hiro accepted her offer and appeal to MrD for allowance, so even Tyson and kenny didn't know about Hilary's surprise. they all agreed and they fixed the schedule for match. that's it.
"tbh, I care less. my child came to meet me for a day and how am I suppose to not spend time with her?" Kai replied straightforwardly in obvious tone. Hikari-chan was playing in his arms with Dranzer, her hands were so tiny that she had to hold him with both hands "she will either hate me or you, if we wouldn't give her enough attention" kai said in monotone and then he tightened his grip around Hikari-chan without hurting her. she also hugged back and her cute-innocent smile grew wider n.n
"yeah! what else we can expect from your kids" tala rolled his eyes as he gave-up on him but kai glared him with long stare and mouthed shut-up b/c he didn't want to bad mouthing infront of Hikari-chan.
"Hikari-chan, you want to eat something?" Kai changed the topic as he was really in no mood for any other shit. he was all Hikari-chan's papa for next 24 hours, otherwise he would definitely regret it till she born.
"YUS PAPA!" she shook her bobbley-head with pure smile which turned her cheeks even more plumpy (nᴗn)
"what?" he asked as he playfully poked her right cheek.
"ummmm" she went in deep thoughts as she tapped her chin with her index finger "Hikari-chan thin-k thin-k thin-k" And she squeezed her eyes shut with deep exhale.
"food?" she said as she dumbfoundedly tilted her head and stared at kai with more reading looking eyes.
"BHAHAHHA!" Bryan laughed at her humour.
"she is definitely your kid, kai" and also commented.
"so when I denied, anyways, I'm going to get something for hikari to eat. this place don't serve meal for toddlers" kai said in monotone as he checked for some cash. he had to make sure Hikari-chan had something healthy and nutritious to eat, afterall he couldn't feed her restaurant food for next 24-hours.
"sure thing" tala agreed in neutral tone as he sounds more fine with it b/c now he could play more with his cute niece since kai wasn't their to get her whole attention.
"why don't you ask room service to go and buy for you?" bryan asked or more like suggested but kai didn't say anything and slowly raised his eyebrow on him.
"I can't let anybody know about hikari's presence" kai meant he was somehow suspicious about this hotel staff, they might spread weird rumours about him or Hikari if they found out and what a little-girl was doing in their suite, so it would be better if he go out to get her things by her own.
"Hikari want to play with me?" tala asked as he came and stood infront of her.
"YESH!" her big bubbley eyes sparkled up with happiness that her oji-san actually wanted to play with her.
Tala leaned to take her and Hikari-chan also leaned to open his arms, he scooped her in his arms and bought her on eye level, Hikari-chan rubbed her cheek against his to show her affection for him and hugged him, keeping her arms around for support.
"what you waiting for? go!" tala said as both Hikari and he looked at him but hikari's look was pure and cute. (ÓuÓ)
"BYII-BYII! PAPA!(bye-bye, papa)" Hikari-chan waved her both hands in air but chirpy voice and then she threw a flying kiss with both hands, Kai slightly smiled at his sight.
"be a good girl, okay?"
"okie, papa!" Hikari-chan squealed warmly again n.n
"Hikari-chan, you want to watch cartoons with me!?" Bryan asked as he tried to trick by bait but it was no use on hikari-chan, she was attention-seeker and now that tala was paying attention and spoiling her and she loved it! she felt like real princess as she was getting the déjà vù of this scenario.
[TALA:2 BRYAN:0]
Bryan sighed as he gave up and let his body drop and sank in couch, he turned on the TV and the sports news channel played. it was showing the news of all the teams when they arrived from airport. there was pictures of all the teams one by one and surprisingly they play another clip of someone.
"All the teams have arrived in Egypt for the 4th round of world championships and uff!! looks like many international fans of Egypt are waiting for them on airport to get a single sight of their favourite beyblader but we have more sizzling news for you guys and specially Kai's fans-" they lady announced the things as they were shown in clips but then a sizzling evil smile came on her lips when she said the last line and then news team played the video clip. "-our new reporter were waiting since morning and surprisingly we captured a clip of TACHIBANA HILARY, as far as we knew, she wasn't supposed to join her friends but she arrived this(yesterday) morning before the other teams. she is definitely here to support her friends or maybe kai" she finished with sinister smirk.
In the clip, Hilary was running out of the airport to parking lot with deep blue haired girl who was carrying her luggage and bag.
Everyone was watching with bored eyes as maybe they were slightly annoyed too b/c they were again creating rumours of kai with some Japanese brunette girl but When hikari's eyes caught the screen.
"MUMMA!!" Hikari-chan squealed with delight as her eyes sparkled with happiness. she flung her arms like she wanted to touch the TV screen to get more near of Hilary.
"OJII-SA, MUMMA!!" she tapped on tala's shoulder with her tiny hands like she was grabbing his attention and then she pointed out on the screen, telling him that the Japanese Brunette girl was her mumma.
"what? who?" tala asked as Hikari said, then he told bryan to replay the recorded news, then he paused the on the part where Hilary was sleeking back her hair behind the ear while Tsuki was looking at her while walking, on the screen.
"MUMMA!~ MUMMA!!~~~" Hikari-chan again pointed specifically on Hilary as she squealed with delight again. both Bryan and Spencer looked at her while tala was watching the every detail of Tsuki's face and then he looked at Hilary when Hikari-chan pointed.
"wait a min!" Bryan said as he turned his head back to look at hikari-chan over his shoulder and then back to Hilary and he kept doing it until he confirmed his doubt while tala didn't the same too. Hikari-chan had same eye shape as hilary and her small lips are just mini xerox of Hilary's, there was many more similarities too but man! they looked so alike.
"are you thinking what I'm thinking?" bryan said as he kept looking at her and then he and tala had staring contest with blunt look.
"yeah! looks like all Japanese people share same features" tala said with obvious look.
"exactly my thoughts!" Bryan agreed while Spencer facepalmed with disappointment. BOTH ARE IDIOTS!
"No wonder, Hikari-chan got confused by any girl as her mother" tala commented and then Bryan changed the news channel to some musical once.
"but-t, MUMMA!!" Hikari-chan tried to force look at them by showing her childish frustration when her uncle bryan changed the channel.
"hello" gou came downstairs after getting fresh and entered in living room and found Hilary and Tsuki randomly chatting to eachother and the topic was Beyblade!
"yes?" Hilary called with warm smile on her lips while Tsuki boringly let her head fall backwards and stared gou upside down with narrowed eyes.
"I got something to do, I'll come back later!" gou said, he informed them before going. Tsuki was in no place to ask where he was going and silently hoping for him not to come back again.
"where?" Hilary asked worriedly but Tsuki narrowed her eyes even more to hear to audible concern in her voice.
"to find out about my stolen stuffs" gou lied, he was here for his mission he left incompleted. The Project Setsuko.
"Oh, ok. come back before it gets dark!" Hilary said as she tried her best not to frown, when she got that it's time for him to leave. they already said goodbye to eachother earlier.
"sure!" gou tired his best not to sound sad but surprisingly tuski caught it. she got that he was hiding his nervousness but she didn't say and anything and watched him leaving silently.
"I'll be back" Tsuki left Hilary in anticipation.
When gou went outside the main door, he saw the same driver who drove them back to his auntie's home. he was waiting for him to sit in car. he couldn't get it why he was there, waiting for him.
"you better come back before dinner or there'll be no dinner for you!" a familiar voice came from his back. he turned around to see his aunty leaning against the one of the pillar of the entrance, his eyes slightly widened.
"hn?" gou couldn't get it why she was doing this for him.
"he knows about the all places of this city, so he'll drive you whenever you want and take this-" she informed and then handed him some(A LOT) Egyptian currency.
"Woah! but- but- you already left a lot near my bed" gou answered as his eyes widened and he didn't know what to say next, like he couldn't be more grateful.
"just take it, kiddo!" Tsuki was slightly embarrassed as she asked herself again why she was going this to him. It's the thing that gou somehow emitted Hilary's aura like there was some part of him which remind her of Hilary like the way he express his happiness. he had exact same jawline like Hilary's, so whenever he smiled, Hilary immediately came in Tsuki's mind. There had definitely something which Hilary didn't tell her..yet. he resembled so much of hilary that she couldn't see him upset either.
"you are the best, no you are the bestest best" Instead of taking money, gou hugged his aunty for her gratefulness and delightfully smile at her. he repeated the sames words which Hilary gave to Tsuki when he agreed to pay for her dress. you see! these were the parts which remind her of hilary.
Gou took all the money with one polite snatch and immediately sat in the car while tuski slightly smiled at his childish manner and watch him leaving.
"oh! and once again, THANK YOU!-" Gou said as the driver closed the door and sat on front seat "-OBA-SAN" gou said after lowered his windshield with innocent smile and his car left with full speed, leaving her with her thoughts.
Tuski petrified on her grounds with same expression on her face to hear that title again 'THIS KIDDO' she hissed in her mind as her petrified body got cracks coming from her head.
Meanwhile Hilary was watching them silently and sweat-dropped at last scene with facepalmed and dissatisfaction.
"guys where is Hikari-chan?" kai asked as he came back and took off his hood to reveal his hair as he came back in suite and found his teammates relaxing on couch. he looked at Bryan and Spencer with questioning look.
"she is with tala? dude, he didn't let her play with us either but you have fair chance afterall you are her daddy" he said with playful smirk.
"well, I'm your dad too!" kai said with grin and lead to tala's room but when he opened the door and saw them.
Kai's eyes widened at his limits and he regretted his life, doubted his whole existence again. how could he forgot such an important information to tell them and he facepalmed with disparity and dissatisfaction.
Hikari-chan was taking her afternoon nap on tala's bed, while tala was sitting next to her, leaning on back, making sure she didn't wake up by any noise and also upgrading his Beyblade's gear.
"wha-" before kai could say something tala interrupted him when he noticed his presence.
"see, kai! poor thing was so tired that she immediately fell asleep when she laid down, maybe b/c she hadn't eat anything" tala said and went back to his work but when he read kai's disappointed gesture, he confused.
"What's the matter, kai?" tala asked neutrally as he more looked at him.
"you didn't had to let her sleep!" kai hissed at him as pressed his nose bridge.
"why not?" tala asked as he raised his eyebrow.
"b/c now she'll black out our nights! if Hikari-chan complete her sleep now, then she wouldn't sleep tonight till morning. we have match tomorrow, genius!" kai's sarcasm is coming back which depends on his frustration level.
"WHA- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT EARLIER!" Tala's eyes widened as he heard his words.
"why did you let her sleep at this hour?" but kai threw back another question, totally showing that it wasn't his fault.
"I told you she was so tired so I had to and beside this how could I expect this from your kids" tala answered as he wasn't ready to it like it was his mistake. he was being obvious.
"well b/c she got this from her mo-" before kai could finish this sentence, realisation hit his brain and he stopped on right track.
"her mother?" but tala was smartypants so he already guessed "you know her, right?" he asked as a smirk came on his lips automatically.
"..." but kai didn't say anything b/c he didn't had anything to defend himself.
"and how do you know about her sleeping habits?" tala asked with grin "you slept with her!" tala amusing raised his eyebrow.
"it's none of your business" kai hissed again as he looked away.
"okay~" tala got that there was something very interesting about kai that he didn't tell his teammates about it beside this, he knew if kai do something, there always had valid reasons behind it, so there might be a reason here too.
Kai removed his jacket, revealing his hoodie sweatshirt, he came to hikari-chan and gently took her in his arms, so the buttons and rough fabric won't hurt her skin or face. Hikari-chan immediately got that she was in Kai's arms, though, she was sleeping, and buried her face on his shoulder, feeling the bice fabric of sweatshirt against her soft plumpy cheeks. he come out of the room and instantly caught both bryan and Spencer's attention.
"aw! so cute!" bryan said with automatic smile. he was talking about only Hikari-chan.
Kai signed tala to tell them b/c he didn't want to bother Hikari-chan by his voice since she was in his arms.
"Hikari-chan is sleeping right now! so she won't sleep in night and won't let us sleep either, so you guys should take naps too!" tala announced in lower voice.
"it should be fine by us, we don't sleep till late night anyways" bryan commented.
"we'll see!" kai commented with narrow eyes as his teammates underestimated Hikari-chan.
TSUKI'S HOUSE_
(few minutes after gou left)
Tsuki was super duper mad as she couldn't help but got annoyed, sitting in living room while Hilary was hand fanning over her, though, the AC was turned ON.
"Like I told you, he loves making jokes!" Hilary nervously laughed again.
"well, I didn't laugh" tuski narrowed her eyes on Hilary who was not regretting her existence. why, everytime, she had to deal with these critical situations.
"well, they are always funny-" Hilary said as her mouth twitched "-for him"
"are you sure you aren't forgetting something to tell me?" Tsuki said as she raised her eyebrow on her sister.
meanwhile...
Gou reached on his destination where he had to start his small project. His mission was different this time. it would be much better if we see flashback to understand his situation.
FLASHBACK TO THE FUTURE
5 days later, his returned from past. Gou entered in the Japan's most successful research centre where they study about bit-beasts. He didn't stopped on reception and immediately went to his mom's office but the receptionist stopped him.
"young master, I highly apologised to say that but you can't meet your mom right now. she is having an online meeting with department heads" she nervously informed him.
"is it about Setsuko again? but why mom is director of this research centre then why are they bothering her?" he raised his eyebrow as he looked at her.
"yes, it's about her. the other associations filed another lawsuit against us and the heads couldn't stand it anymore. they are warning professor to end this mess as soon as possible" she answered.
gou got furious to hear that her mom was bearing the stress again and this time he ran even faster to reach her.
"NO! MASTER GOU! PLEASE STOP!" she said as was about to run after him but someone came on her desk and asked for her to give the keys of their labs.
Gou decided to knock on her door but then the door was open anyways, so he quietly burged in and saw his mom attentively sitting and was having a online meeting with others authorised heads and investors who also invest their money on her private research centre. if any bad news came out about her then it'll definitely ruin their reputations too.
When Hilary saw him entering from the corner of her eyes, she immediately get back her attention to holographic screen.
"yes, sir. I'll do something immediately to end this problem before it comes out" Hilary said and she end the call. She let her body fell back on the chair, her head unsupportively tilted as she pressed her nose bridge.
gou watching his mom, stressing in with workloads. if she didn't find Setsuko any sooner, then it won't be good for her career and reputations b/c Setsuko wasn't some ordinary research experiment thing, it's the fact that she found setsuko's arti-facts on the Egyptian place which comes under governmental property. long story short, it'll turn out like Hilary indirectly stole the things which belongs to government and faking as victim. she only had to pass and permission to research on Setsuko and give it back to them. The other Egyptian researchers wasn't happy from hilary either b/c she stole(lost) the historical artifact which belonged to their country.
"mom" gou called her as he came and stood next to her chair and her head fell on his shoulder "are you okay?" he emotionally asked but hilary didn't answer, she just kept hugging him. she mentally chuckled to see gou's response, since when her son grew up this much. it was like yesterday when he came to this world and became her whole world.
"mom" he called her again to break the silence and Hilary looked at him this time.
"I was thinking that if we can't find Setsuko from this time the why don't we go back in past when you haven't discovered Setsuko?" gou said and this time Hilary's eyes actually widened to hear this b/c it wasn't a bad idea.
"but we can't play with time, gou. if we took away setsuko from that time then she won't be there for me to discover her" Hilary said her solid point which was extremely valid here.
"don't worry. it'll be temporarily. we will bring it in future to silent everyone but we'll stop finding about our actual Setsuko. so, when we'll find her, we'll replace her from the one which we'll took from past and then returned her in her actual time and everything will turn normal" gou answered and left hilary speechless. she wasn't sure if she should be proud of him or scold him b/c it's actually crime. she was scared that things might turn wrong if she played with time.
"you know it's crime, right?" Hilary raised her eyebrow b/c she didn't feel good braking her own rules. Hilary had one of the successful research and it's the theory that people can time travel with the help of bit-beast's potential energy was hidden from Government b/c gawd knew what they'll do with this research if they found out about time traveling, so that's why Hilary never sold her theory to any other companies, so kai personally invested in her project to prevent the rumours (most of time he invest b/c simply hilary ask him to do).
"well, it is but only when other finds out!" gou said with smirk but hilary slightly narrowed her eyes. she didn't like it whenever her son acts like her husband.
"oh man!" she exhaled as she massaged her forehead as she had no other options left.
"I'll explain you about where and how you'll find her and what you have to do!" she informed and then she went to her shelf and bought a file with her.
"this is the document which will help you to find Setsuko. I've written everything in it!" she said in serious voice.
"okay" gou nodded with a small smile as he was somehow to happy to go back in that time.
"you'll go Egypt tomorrow" she said, gou's smile vanished in thin air to find out that he had to to Egypt...not Japan.
That meant, he couldn't meet his parents from past. uff!
"Egypt?" gou repeated dumbfoundedly.
"yeah! I found setsuko in Egypt when I went for the trip last month" hilary answered with obvious tone as she looked at him. she didn't remember anything about past either, so she couldn't say if gou was going to succeed in his this secret mission and the fact that gou was going to meet her b/c last time gou removed everyone's memories. I mean he would do in this time before his departure from past.
(AN: listen, when gou will leave this time, he'll remove their memories that he and Hikari ever came to meet them in past. so when adult kaihil actually first visited the past in YCMW they didn't remember anything either but they got there memories of that incident that gou and Hikari-chan actually came to meet them in past, when they came back in their future (their current time), The only thing that it didn't applied on gou and Hikari-chan b/c they didn't exist in this perticular time, so they never lost any memories, I know it's confusing, just try to understand otherwise you'll get it later onwards)
NEXT DAY_
"Gou make sure, you don't waste your time!" Hilary said to him.
"okay! I'm ready to leap in time!" gou said as he sat his time machine which could help to leap in time.
"you don't have to leap" Hilary calmly answered with closed eyes.
"hn?" which confused gou, if he wasn't going to leap through time then how he would reach there. when Hilary read his confusion she cleared herself.
"em-hm *cough* I mean I'm sure you don't need to waste your 24 hours for 24 minutes work, so that's why you should use time warp instead" Hilary answered with unease. she wasn't sure if she should let him use the warp pad or not but she didn't had any choice left. she couldn't waste another day for 5 minutes work.
Gou's eyes widened to hear this and he was unable to speak, what his mom said again? she allowed him to use time warp? he was going to use TIME WARP! AHHHH! He definitely couldn't be happier. The main time warp-pad was placed inside Hilary's personal lap where no one was allowed to go b/c she kept very precious and dangerous artifacts there. So, if gou had to use time warp, then he would get chance to peek in his mom's lap.
I'll explain in further chapters that why using time warp is such a big deal.
"are you ready?" Hilary asked on last time and then gou energetically cheered. she went behind her desk and opened the door by scanning her eyes and finger print. they both went in but gou almost forgot about main reason of his presence in her lap(more like library).
when gou was about to touch anything "don't touch anything!" Hilary stopped and she didn't have look back to see him. gou drew back his hand and gulped hard.
"ready to departure!" gou cheered as he stood in the centre of round time warp-pad.
"oh boi! I still wonder whom you get this energy!" Hilary uneasily wondered.
(my readers giving hard stare to hilary at her comment)
"PROFESSOR!!" Before Hilary could do anything someone interrupted them from outside in scared tone. It was that receptionist lady.
"what's the matter?" Hilary asked through microphone from inside.
"A Govt. lawyer came here to pass you a document from court! they are asking for you to show up" she said in hurry like she was asking her to come out "I requested them to wait for a bit"
"I'm coming!" Hilary told her then she turned to gou "wait for me, okay?" she said.
"sure thing!" gou nodded
"and don't touch anything!" she said in demanding rage.
"okay!" he uneasily nodded again but when hilary left, he roamed around to look at the unique stuffs here and there. Dude! this place was no less than antique museum and then gou's sight landed on a column of rack, sealed with glass windows.
Gou: I can't!
his brain: do it!
Gou: I'M TELLING YOU I CAN'T! MOM WILL FIND OUT!
his brain: JUST DO IT ALREADY, YOU DAMNIT!
He opened it without hesitation and it was..., weird. There was piles of patridish like plates and each one of them had a seal attached with it, which had something written on them with different type of ink in some ancient language.
He took one out and tried to remove the seal from corner and opened it.
Gou's eyebrow ached when he found out there was some pieces of stones, kept on valvet piece of cloth, he closed it and did the same with other sample which confused him more b/c this time the stone was different mineral and when he opened the third sample, this time he found a little bit bigger pebble sized stone mixed with different types of minerals. he closed them all, placed them on their places and closed the cupboard and went back near to warp-pad.
Hilary came back with more depressing look on her face which was more like, she was done with her work and life. now, she was more frustrated after receiving the notice from Egyptian Government's research and development head.
"gou, do it as soon as possible and come back in exact this time!" Hilary almost ordered in serious tone.
"yes, professor" gou nodded with determination.
And with this, gou travelled back in time to complete his top secret mission.
FLASHBACK BACK IN PAST
"uff! What place is this?" Gou mumbled to himself as he found himself in old abandoned street where no one was to be seen but he heard the crowd from nearby streets. He could say that he wasn't in Japan by the view of his surroundings. the brickmade houses, the hot climate, and the mumbling of people wasn't understandable but it wasnt sure Japanese language. he knew it's Egypt since his mom tell. WHERE IN EGYPT! WHERE WAS HE EXACTLY!
He ran to reach the source and croud through that narrow alley which let him to the main Street, the main Street Market.
His eyes widened as he felt like tourist there, they old Egypt was definitely something else. there was so much to see! it was amazingly fascinating. he looked around here and there the small stalls with wondering eyes like almost forgot about his mission and started to enjoying it but suddenly a guy came out of the blue and stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.
"HEYYY! YOU ARE KAI HIWATARI! I'VE SEEN YOU ON TV" the boy said in Egyptian language so gou couldn't get anything expect the 'kai Hiwatari' part and to see this boy's excitement, the boy was definitely his one of the international fans. The other kids also caught the attention to hear him loudly.
"Kai Hiwatari!? YOU MEAN ACTUAL KAI HIWATARI!" it wasn't actually an alien fact that you saw kai wondering on streets of this city in egypt since the news of 4th round of world championships was announced.
Then gou tried to run away as he started to get more and more attention.
he really tried to convince them that he wasn't kai but they didn't believe until Hilary heard his scream and came to save him.
END OF FLASHBACK
So back to the main plot, gou stopped the car and told the driver to drop him here.
"you can stay here, I'll came back later" gou politely tried to tell him in English, hoping for the driver to understand.
"no, problem. I'll wait till you come back!" but surprisingly the driver replied in Japanese which surprised gou then he remembered his aunty is half-Japanese and she knew both Japanese and Egyptian very well, so the workers and staffs.
"arigato!" gou thanked him in Japanese with polite smile and then he walked to the place where this time's Setsuko was sleeping in her seal.
"I hope no one saw me!" gou mumbled to himself and he went in the abandoned temple, making sure no one was around. The sunrays were making their way through the cracks of the abandoned temple bricks to come in, providing him little bit of light to see whereabouts of the temple which looked like it could turn into pile of debris any moment and the interesting it stay like this for next 25 years for sure.
Now, gou had only one thing in his mind, take the sealed Setsuko, get back in the future, give Setsuko to his mom, make her proud and happy, so she could sleep peacefully again...and leave the rest for another chapters.
But surprisingly nothing like this happened. everytime where gou plan something, things always go opposite of him. he should have left this timeline already and should be with his mom, talking about his this experience to her on lunch. well! atleast he was with his mom, right now.
"gou, are you okay?" teen hilary asked with concern as gou was sitting next to her on couch with disappointment in his aunty's home.
"yeah!" he replied in dried deadpan voice. he tried his best not to sound cold.
FLASHBACK
"According to mom's data! Setsuko has to be here!" gou yelled out of frustration. if Setsuko isn't here in this time, does that mean she came in this temple later? gou thought but he didn't stopped to search for evidence. he later realised that the marks of dust were new on the specific place where the setsuko's stone was kept. it meant, someone definitely Knew about gou's mission and came here before him and took away the sealed Setsuko before gou could.
Someone came here before him and ruined his mission again and now gou had a bigger problem to face, he had to find the once again stolen sealed bit-beast, his actual time' Setsuko and then get back in future before whoever that idiot was, unsealed her again.
END OF FLASHBACK
When gou left in frustration b/c he couldn't find Setsuko's sealed stonetab. A boy of same height and age as him came from the dark and placed back setsuko's stone on her previous place. He used time call and reported.
"mom! Setsuko is back to her right place. I've completed my mission! I'm heading back to the future!" the boy finished his call and vanished in thin air like he never existed.
