7. Healing up

CHAPTER 7- Healing up.

It was 12 in midnight and the brunette was awakened. She lay on his warm beret. She could smell his bare scent that dwelt in the sheets. She slowly opened her eyes. She was lying facing the balcony, her head in her arm and legs folded as she lied. She wondered when she laid on the bed. She revised her memory. I was sitting down on the floor and my head in my arms, oh they had become so numb, it hurts. OOUCHH! How I ended up here? She turned her head and saw Tyson laying on the little large couch insufficient for his length. She stared at him. He looks so tired and ..and..and..so…cute..Oh what am I saying? Deep down he aint that creep I thought. He really is a good person, he really changed, and we never argue now and just smile at each other whenever we could. I hope we could be like this. I really like you like this, more than you see, more than you feel, more than you think, more than you realize…so it was him who would have laid him. The thought gave her a thrill and apace excitement through her body. She blushed imagining the scene, yet she gave a small smile and crept out of the bed and dragging a small couch near his. She sat down and examined him. Slowly she intertwined her fingers in his hair, but suddenly retreated, feeling the cold, no wet sensation.

"Wh-at? Is he mad? How could he sleep in such wet? OH!" she exclaimed.

She realized that he was completely drenched and the cool breeze or rather wind didn't cease. It could cause him fever. She thought what to do. She slowly ambled out and went into hall and saw the three deep in their night dreams. . She slowly tiptoed and awoke Max..

"Maxie, can you hear me?"

He whined in sleep and slowly opened his eyes with his eyelids flapping up and down. He was a bit shocked and frightened seeing him. Before he could open his mouth, she placed her hand on his mouth and quieted him. She slowly removed when he was calm and began

"Maxie, sorry for disturbing you, but I need your help."

"What is it Hilary?" he asked a bit worried.

"Come with me." She stood and headed towards her room, or his room..

She slowly slid open the door and ventured in allowing him to and then sliding close back.

"What happened, Hil?"

"You see, Tyson."

"What happened to him?"

"He is sleeping in wet clothes and is least bothered about it, snoring."

"Wh-at? Is he gone mad? How could anyone think about to sleep in such condition in wet clothes?"

"SHHHH…Slow down Max, you will wake him."

" Ah,Yeah" he said more hush . "So you want me to change him?"

"Yeah. You see, I tried waking him several times but we won't wake up. It seems like he would just open eyes in morning. I ll be waiting outside….I'm sorry to disturb you, dear.."

"Haha, it's okay." he smiled..

She strode out closing the door and leaning against a wall which was dark and the only moonlight shadow being present. It was convenient to approach Max for some help. She could have called Kenny but he was tired enough really busy in his work.

A few minutes late, the door slid open and Max strode out.

"Done Hilary. Now you can sleep in peace." He smiled

"You too and thank you!"

"Hey! No problem. Goodnight."

He climbed down carefully not creating any sound and slowly wrapping himself in his sheets. She walked in and switched off the lights and wrapped him in warm sheets and caressed his hair one last time which weren't wet this time. Slowly she crept onto the beret yawning and soon in the sheets. She was relieved; after all, they could sleep peacefully…

I really want to forget what happened today. How could he love me? I never thought about Kai in that way. I felt he could never love anyone more than himself, it was him, then his Dranzer that he only loved ever. When did he have to fall for me. I'm sorry that I'm hurting you by refusing you and never able to return your feelings, and being responsible for you unrequited love; but seriously couldn't help it. I have much pain in my life and if ever I had to fall for someone, it would never be you. It would be…well I don't know. But I'm at least happy for being here, with everyone once again, especially Tyson, the one who brought me out of solitary state and caressed me out of pain. .I may not have anyone that could care me like my mom, but at the same time I don't have anyone that will hurt me my harsh and painful words that she frequently spit on me, chided me for the silliest mistakes, and always invaded my privacy..Hmph. Hate you!

It was dark in the late 3 at night and there was darkness all around and the dreams in deep heads..

Hilary's Dream:

Where am I? I am in a garden. Wow, this is beautiful! Awesome! The flowers and everything! She could see the birds chirping; feel the little breeze blowing, the little tender young leaves being frightened to be swept away and the clear sky with no clouds and pure sunshine. There was no one. It was alone herself and she could hear the beginning of music that echoed lightly. The music was enchanting and melodious but no one sang. She sat in rest hugging her knees and placing a chin on them on the warm grass and the sweet scent of flowers that dwelt. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the music but she longed to hear someone singing. She looked around but there was no one. Slowly from far across she could see someone coming. But it wasn't clear as she waited; she saw that it was actually no one. "OH it's just my perception.." she stood up and stretched her hands. She began to serenade slowly in stupendous melody that couldn't be imagined..

You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care
Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

(She slowly pulled her hair back and paused for a moment, giving the perfect flow to the rhythm and smiled as the music didn't ceased and the beats were perfect to what she was singing. She slowly began, smiling and smirking, blushing out of what she was singing..^^)

So love me like you do, love me like you do
Love me like you do, love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

She stopped noticing the music fading and she looked around seeing the butterflies all rushing towards her. The splendid creatures were approaching her and occupying her. They desperately wanted her to sing again but couldn't convey the message..

"It was indeed really sweet and melodious."

She heard a masculine voice from behind. She turned and saw a familiar beyblader with amethyst eyes and purple and grey hair swaying in breeze along with the long white scarf. She stared at him for the longest none of them retarding from the gaze…She quickly turned breaking the eye contact..

"Thank you. What you doing here?" she said calmly pretending to swipe the dust on her jacket

"Just happened to pass by."

"Oh! Hmm."

"So, for whom was it?"

She blushes at the sudden question but turned and met his fierce eyes with strength though she was throbbing from inside..

"Not for You!"

"Yet, it doesn't answer my question."

"I don't have to Kai."

"Hn."

"I'll be waiting forever no matter what happens…" he said as he turned and walked away. His voice…full of hurt and longing…

She was shocked and gapped. She looked down in disappointment for being the reasons of his unrequited and unappreciated adore…

She fell on her knees and looked down..

END OF THE DREAM…

She woke up braking from the strange dream. She sat in dizzi and saw Tyson snoring,

"Oh my! As always!"

She saw the time, it was 5:45.

"Oh no, I'm late!"

She hurried, brushed apace and combed improperly and changed brisk trot, not noticing where she did…She dashed down the stairs and ran fast to her work spot….I'm going to be late today, damn, why didn't I adjusted my alarm! It's all getting worse. I shouldn't have moved here. Gotta run faster! She brisk trotted like wind and was at her destination 10 minutes late. It was Quiet. They were supposed to work in complete silence and the morning cooking never involved the noises. She strode slowly and saw the old amber haired lady gazing at her in some annoy. She was never late. It was her first time and she did have some reason, she wasn't careless but they would never understand so she preferred to apologize simply..

"You are late Ms. Tachibana." She reminded lazily..

"I'm so sorry Miss Catherine, I won't be late next time.." she gave a fake and apologizing smile and began to start her work..

She took a large bowl and added dough, sugar, .The work wasn't that hard but she had to work for the time she was hired for. She worked perfectly without any fault and the excellence and sublimity never dared anyone to peep in her style of work. She worked in peace plugging her ear phones that emerged from her Smartphone in the pockets of jeans denims. Her legs were killed in cold and the blanch skin whined for being unveiled…

You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care
Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, love me like you do
Love me like you do, love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

She worked till 7:15 simply doing or arranging though her work was over. It was because she didn't wanted the old lady to get crazy at her..

She unplugged her earphones and pushed it in the pockets beginning to depart..

"Okay. Bye everyone." she smiled and left.

"You worked well today Hilary but don't be late from next time."

She smiled…" Sure!"

She started to walk away. She felt a vibration in her pocket. She grabbed her phone out and swiped the lock screen. It was a message. She opened. It read:

"The students of Toyo University are thereby informed that the premises remain close today as per the state orders."

She jumped in air at the good news in the morning. It wasn't the sunshine yet. The sun rose yet never making its presence known. The sky was occupied by the dark grey clouds and the cold wind all everywhere. She was happy and walked down the high hill. There were less people including a newspaper man cycling in silence. She shivered and pulled her arms and bare legs closer for warmth. This is chilling! Damn chilling. I don't think that Tyson and others even bother to come to institution. They come whenever they feel like..oh! She closed her eyes and headed towards the dojo. Suddenly she felt a warm sensation around her neck covering her most of the body. When she opened her eyes, she saw a white pure scarf hanging around her that was perfect for the merciless dead cold. But wait, it was familiar! It belonged to someone she knew perfectly. She turned and saw Kai standing his arms not crossed.

She was shocked but hid it and simply smiled and continued walking her heart beating from inside. She could remember her dream and was judging if it were true, his words. They walked together separated by few centimeters her hair wildly brushing his cheeks and she didn't dared to move aside. Her body could feel the warmth of his true scarf, it was placed to protect from the damn chill wind. This time before she planned to close her eyes, she could feel sudden more warmth on her shoulders. This thrilled her now. She quickly turned left, Kai being on her right. Now she was the very person she always wanted to be beside, a jacketless, yellow shirt beyblader with the fleeting navy hair looking at her in desire and smirk. She looked deep in the maroon eyes and realized his jacket present on her arms. Oh this was a kinda amusing; her jacket, scarf, and again jacket. HEHE!She stared at him for the longest just like she did at Kai but this was filed with joy and yearn, heart not beating, but the adrenal rushing out. Tyson did saw his presence but didn't bother as if he didn't cared. She placed gentle fingers on his cheeks and smiled purely. She quickly retreated after Kai coughed to make aware of his presence. She blushed and continued walking surrounded by the navy and purple haired beybladers on her left and right sides respectively…

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?1

The music still echoed in her ears, that she recently been listening to and singing in her dreams..

They walked in silence. Hilary looking down neither daring to either side, covered in unbelonging jacket and scarf besides in her own clothes. Tyson humming in his mouth silently, putting his hands back on his head interlocking his fingers, gazing lost at the grayish blue sky. Kai walking with upstreaming scarf, bit shivering, closed eyes as usual…

This is so weird. Walking between these two of them, I wonder if anyone of them knew what or how I'm feeling…Well let's see. So where are we heading? Has Tyson got the answer? Or is it Kai? I think I gotta wait. I'm tired.. Life's getting frustrating sometimes but I cannot miss a picturesque like this now where late morning seems to be glittering dawn. Tyson. How he woke so early today? He aint that early riser! Oh no never, but how's everything changing? Wow!

"We are heading to the beach, okay?" He said smiling

"Tyson. Oh-okay."

She was a bit shocked of this kinda behavior but yet she relished the idea of going to the beach this pseudo early morning where the damp cold sea will dampen the air worse. It was the soothing waves of the river that took her there.

"So..." Tyson slowly began completely ignoring the presence of Kai, as if he didn't cared, "Was it you….in the…night?" he asked giving slight pauses and never meeting the ruby eyes. Hilary wondered about it a bit, her mind trying to figure out what he was asking but it took no longer for that.

"No, No! It wasn't. It wasn't me..!" she protested in fear.

He looked at her with questioning face, simply.

"Ohh…Wheew" she blew in exhaustion. "Tyson. It wasn't me. You were soaked and you slept relentless not bothering about your health and I asked Max to do it, so did he, not I." she gave a soft explanation.

"Oh okay. So that was it." he replied this time looking at her with his goofy smile changing into a slight smirk, "I wish it were you!"

"Wh-at?"

" 't be serious"

"I'm not! You are just jerking sometimes Tyson..." anger blurted.

Kai coughed to make them aware of his still presence. Both looked at him and kept quiet, hey, Kai was still their captain; they cannot disobey him like they want, nor dared they. Kai was deep lost in his thoughts, kind of feeling insulted and much more insolence that he felt indirectly..

Why am I with these two? No, that isn't supposed to be the question. Why has Tyson been here? He aint that early riser ever, it was so rare that he ever got up early, like did he in the previous year. He is just interfering with what I'm trying to make up with her! I would have kicked him out if I could, if I hadn't made that silly mistake that day, I should have said him on the hill when he asked me, but I refused never knowing about him and it is he who is advantaged now and I could be kicked out anytime, but he don't dare! Why this has to happen? Why? I just can't anymore see them together. I just can't but I got to be persistent and strong, I'm still not sure about his confession, that's the only reason why am I actually here. If he hadn't, the I have a hope of wait…but….Hmn..I don't know why I have to fall for her, but I did really wanted from the start. Just wonder what is behind that silent ruby eyes?, who is it in the heart of that brunette?, Has she undergone some pain. It really seems that she is trying out her best to make out from something, but what is it, what? It never could be past like me so dangerous that I cannot escape forever, but whatever, I hope she is just fine with us..I should ask both of them to sleep in the hall rather than alone in his room, or at least her, because Tyson may not agree! It is his own room. OHH! What am I blabbering in my thoughts. I'm really changing that I always hard to but wanted to, so they'll think that I'm weirder or changing. Whatever, never mind. Stay calm.

"So we are here finally!"

"Yeah! It's so beautiful. Really."

They headed and sat down on the cold sand sitting with stretched legs, folded and hugged legs, and sitting cross legged the respective teens. They sat quietly for some time, before Kai broke the silence.

"So, where you were in the morning?"

Hilary looked at him for his sudden question. For a time sec, she was captivated by his features, the amethyst eyes, the muscular blanch well build muscles, and the figure, almost scarf less. She suddenly realized that both of them, were shivering and they ought to be in their jacket or scarf. She immediately pulled out the jacket and laid it on Tyson's shoulders. He looked at her but she only turned left placing the scarf around his neck, trying to ignore the appealing figure..

"You both ought to be taking this. I'm fine." she said sheepishly

She mentally slapped herself for the appeal and tried to forget and make up normal. She formed some lines in her head that sometimes occurred in her mind. They were beautiful.. And there were mistakes that wanted to be cured; so much to mention, but you can't find the words, the sense of relish that occurred for some of them, when did the mistakes start to dominate us?

She quickly remembered the question he just asked to him. She thought about it, tingling her fingers in her brunette hair. Oh, why should he be considerate? Had he been up for…th-is. Oh! What the heck.

"Hmn?" he asked again

"I was just up for fresh walks, that's all Kai!.."

"Are you sure?" He smirked as if he knew she was lying. Of course he could make it out easily, the great people like Kai Hiwatari could see beyond the eyes and faces..

She was fright a bit for the sudden expression but simply ignored at fixed her eyes on her knees firmly and sighted

"Yeah. I am sure..!" she answered

"Hmn"

Tyson looked at both of them listening to their conversation and doubted if Kai would really know about them. He yawned. He was awake the half of the night. Why? Oh! I'll tell you that later. He finally ended his yawn in a cute smile and placed a warm hand over Hilary's shoulder which made her to turn to him left, just her head from the straight. Kai stared at the scene and his sudden interaction but quickly removed his gaze; he had already said him about his confession, whatever. He pulled her closer, at whim, where she then the need to stretch her legs as straight sat his than keeping hugged to her.. It was warming both of them which made her heart skip a beat but she eventually gave a comforting smile and placed her head on his shoulder, signing that everything is alright; they are still as they are, nothing is changed and nothing's gonna change it. Tyson stretched his hands in sleepiness and passed his cold fingers, in her brunette hair comforting her, which he retreated within few seconds. She took her head and looked at him. They stared at each other without any talk, just staring each other, closer than before, mindless of whom was with them, the third person.

I used to believe
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful
Somethin' beautiful
Selling a dream
Smoke and mirrors keep us waitin' on a miracle
On a miracle

Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you..

She bent her head slightly just a bit, when we do to get a better access of someone's look, their expression...She smiled gently, more precisely, elegantly, her brunette hair a bit raising up, unconsidered about the damn chillness and the heart ache of the third person. They looked away when they realized that they were staring for the longest, ignoring their blushes as if the cause was the damn chillness..

"Hehe.." Tyson laughed slightly

"Hmn." Kai slowly whispered..

"Hey! It's been getting late. Let's return home!" she suggested lazily

"Later Hil, not now, wouldn't you enjoy the dead damn chilled ocean and…"

"Oh! wheew! OK-ay Tyson, but not much longer. " she replied, when she came to realize the last part of his sentence.

" Hey Kai! Please speak sometimes, you should start talking or else you die unknown!." he commented

"What should I say Tyson?"

"Hey! Had you confessed her yet?" he asked in false excitement

He stared at him deeply which he wanted to stare to her which he couldn't and turned his gaze.

"Hey say it, please!" He pleaded

Both of them kept quiet while Tyson pretending to be the unknown. Hilary gave a sad smile and looked down remembering the dread recent past; she wept the whole hour and finally slept. It was so hurting. Kai looked down at the response of confession. He knew that Tyson had fallen for the same person and so did he and know the victor, the achiever, the ultimate happy person was…he…not himself…

"Yes I had." Kai replied looking at him firmly.

Tyson's expression changed. He was angry and the feeling of jealousy and hatred for him was evident. He stared at him with killing looks, yet transformed his expressions into smile and curiosity, the false looks. Hilary shivered for a bit, not wanting the consequences to happen, she closed her eyes tight and looked down, interlocking her fingers tighter around her legs..

"So what happened?" Tyson asked again.

Kai smirked. He asked him a question before he answers.

"Well, first you tell me, hadn't you?"

Tyson smirked back and replied more quickly.

"Yes I had and I am so happy I did!" he answered with brains and wits.

Hilary looked at Tyson in perplex state and wanting an explanation. She was a bit hurt…What? Is Tyson is in. Wait, that can't be possible. I thought. I thought…What is he saying, I can understand Kai but Tyson did not say anything about perhaps certain someone...Why am I hurt? Why should I be considerate? I'm just happy at the state of being away from home. But why then my heart starts throbbing to race. Please slow down and the damn feelings, get out of me...She mentally yelled, but slowed down when she saw Tyson' soft face looking at her comforting and pushing away all her doubts. She softened, and felt a tear drop out of her eye that she quickly swiped and a bit embarrassed that he had seen it., but she continued her gaze as if all her worries were driven out. He took her hand in his and softly rubbed it looking those blanch, scar less and pure hands. He softly spoke.

"Hadn't I Hil?" He asked softly still his glance fixed at the hands.

She was perplexed to some degree but she quickly understood that whatever was happening though confused or hurt her to little extend, she ought to reply positive, and she felt the weird urge. She could ask about that later..

"Yeah, you had." she replied in charming and amiable face, not minding what would happen. Tyson was a bit taken aback, he hadn't expected her to reply, but anyhow he was supported. He realized that how close and understanding, less arguing, and sweeter they had become. He nodded with smile, his navy blue hair being flapped at once.

"You know Hilary, Kai is in love! But he isn't telling us. Are you shocked?" he pretended

"Oh! Yeah," she smiled and gave a small shock face for his satisfaction and met her eyes with Kai's which he refused to see..

"He isn't telling us who is it Hil? I mean her."

Hilary's eyes were fixed at Kai and she wanted to see the pain if he had and if she could soothe and apologize her for being the reason for his crippled heart. Kai looked at her and spoke.

"I confessed her Tyson, yesterday." He answered his eyes meeting her's almost killing it with hurt and the indelible pain.

Tyson saw Kai's eyes being fixed on Hilary's which he thought to ignore and let what happens. He was dominating the situation, making the two people unaware of it. She looked at Kai with much apologize and regret but smiled gently.

"She rejected me Tyson." he spoke sadly yet firmly.

Tyson smirked from inside yet pretended to be that of shocked.

Hilary slowly took Kai's hands in her, which made him to look at her in shock for the sudden interaction, but he waited to see what was she doing, she gently rubbed his hands and kept almost rubbing it wanting to tell him that she was really despondent she was and sorry and downhearted for breaking him which she couldn't help. Kai could feel the warmth of her hands that made his blood rush and deep down. He could feel all her sensations and feelings and the air beginning to warm down…it was so sweet! Tyson was in no shock; he placed his head in his hand and looked at them in smile...

"I hope you deserve a better person than her, so PLEASE don't be down at her disdain." She said softer, meaning exactly what she wanted to say.

"Yeah, that's right, you see Kai, she is absolutely has a point! More fishes still in pond.." he said with smile yet a kinda in pain. He realized that it was hard on him.

He turned and unhanded his hands from her, not harshly, but softly, rubbing back for the thanking the comfort that was unreplenishable for the grief incurred on him.

"I'll be waiting forever." he slowly whispered to her, inaudible to Tyson. Hilary was a bit taken aback, it was the same thing he said in her dream. She was kinda feared but didn't show it, rather she pulled her hands back a bit quicker than he expected.

He looked around and saw Tyson standing, began to walk away.

" Tyson! Where are you going?" Hilary asked in slight worry.

"Uhm…I was just ...I'm getting some warm drink for us. Wait here."

His words sent a chill to her spine and she rose quickly and stopped him. She cannot pursue the strength to sat alone with Kai, she hadn't forget the pain yet inflicted on her the very before day, and she couldn't take that heart throbs and sudden adrenalin.

"I do not need any warm drinks, stay here." he shouted tightening her hands on his shoulder collar…Tyson gapped and blabbered. He looked at his collar signing her to unhand it. She quickly left his collar and gave an apologizing and pleading look.

"Sorry."

"Hmm, okay, I'll be here.." he smiled back dropping her hand sitting down once again. Kai closed his eyes drifting in his thoughts never bothering what was going outta there.

They sat there for a few minutes when the sky got darker than before, Kai suggested moving back to the dojo and they moved on, almost running for the fear of pouring; but reached the home safely and drifted in.

Ray and Max were in the dojo near the pond, sitting at the stones. To the three teens that returned lately, to their surprise, the other two weren't practicing yet lazily chatting, or more precisely, something interesting..

"You guys not practicing anymore?" Hilary asked them.

The two beybladers looked that their friends had returned lately but were a bit in astonished to see Kai, along with them. They were sure that something was wrong though everyone looked alright. They simply shook their heads.

Tyson made his way to his room with his hands on his head, with bent elbows and humming some music. Hilary saw Kai, standing back at his regular place, leaning closed eyes and lost in his world again, while Max and Ray continued to chat. She could have gone and sat beside them, for some company or ask them to start practicing and bring out the hectic schedule but she didn't simply. She found someone missing, and looked around.

"Where' Kenny?" she asked.

"The genius guy is sleeping; he worked all night Hilary, and now the poor boy deserve some sleep." Max answered cheerfully

"Oh! Alright, fine. I think you will get a day off today but please don't just get away, we will start sometime." she warned them and went off..

She walked up the stairs and opened the door, suddenly when she thought to herself, that now she recently been staying in Tyson's room, but yeah, it was just fine, no problem at all. If she was uncomfortable, she would have gone to her own room, or house, whatever.

She slid open the door and found Tyson lying down lazily on his bed, his hands back at the head. She ventured in and sat down on the couch, lying back deep, out of exhaustion and tedious.

She closed her eyes for a few seconds and then opened. She saw Tyson looking at her, and it seemed that he had been looking at her from the moment she strode in. She looked back at him.

"Tired?" they asked each other, in unison.

"Huh? Yeah." replied as before

"So, what were you talking about Tyson?"

"Huh? What?"

"I mean, what you were saying there in the morning about confession." she asked slowly.

"Hm…it was nothing."

"Hey! Are you in love with someone..?" she tried to sound excited and not anything else, but he simply stared at her. She felt embarrassed at her question being not answered..

"Yeah! I'm." he slowly replied not changing his still expressions..

He got up and paced to his closet dragging out some clothes and a maroon towel. She kept quiet and controlled the urge to ask who she was. She had a perfect doubt that it could be she but yet she wasn't willing to take that risk of asking him. What if he says someone else name. She looked at him, he was checking out something in his closet, probably his blade, but wait, Tyson always kept his blade in his blade holder on his shoulder, maybe he was searching something else. She stood up and sat on his beret and saw something under his pillow on which he was just been lying. It was his cell phone and she took it in her hands and looked it. It was nice one. Surely Tyson was the richest of all of them, beside Kai, he had a lot of money after he entered the world of beyblading and the world champ was all popular among his fans. She thought to swipe open it but feared that it might rage him, so she kept it where it was. Tyson turned back after finding what he wanted and headed towards the washroom with the towel on his muscular shoulder. He could hear some vibration kinda and he turned back to his bed and saw his phone. He approached and was about to take it, it was some stupid fan message, that he usually received, which he often ignored but this time decided to take it. But before he could take, it was Hilary who took it and smirked at him, with her teeth seen, which cause him to gap and move to take it.

"Hey, give it back!" he asserting his voice..

"Not so fast!" she smirked more pulling his phone away from him..

He tried to reach and run over her all the room catching her, leaving her and running all over the bed, the writing table, neither of them caring about the spoiling room. Tyson kept on yelling, but she kept on laughing, for his inability to take back his cell. It's a kinda fun that we fight sometimes. Though What I thought before of him was that he a pig headed stubborn and selfish beyblader but he aint. It's just so lively; yeah truly. Oh gotto skip out faster. He is running faster and here I dodged his catch and now jump above the study table and stretch my hand .Oh he is kinda growing tall faster, I guess. I don't know Why aint I growing physically. AHHHH. She barely managed to prevent herself from slipping and stood holding his phone grasped tighter in her finger and locking her eyes with his separated them between by his beret that was enough for both of them to sleep comfortably. This is just like an staring contest. It's like we are more than beybattling and I gonna be the victor for sure! Why is it always that he tries to grab my waist when we are running and not anywhere? Don't know what's with that. May be that's the only part easy to grasp…Oh! It seems now tears will come out my eyes and he will still continue to stare at me. Oh man he gotta practice of that in beybattles..Before she thought to cease from her present thoughts he quickly jumped over her right over through the bed on the other end where she was standing but she quickly gained her senses and dodged the attack or grasp. But you know it was really getting interesting, the battle in room, cause we are only used to the battles in beydishes. And again she gave that goofy grin and continued running, giving periodic smirks and faces. She was truly enjoying and having her perfect lifetime so did he and being with the person you really felt secure with yet aren't in any relation with and away from all the grief and bullshits of life. It was a number of times that he almost held her and she just rolled her flexible waist to escape easily. Yet it was like running after Daichi but he relished the little confined moments and got less angry. It was almost that when they were chasing each other out in less confined space and all alone or private, they didn't notice how close they were most of the times but they knew that these moments won't come again and to extend them as by chasing yet purposely not grasping her to continue the further chase and to get her cute and adorable smiles and smirks. It kinda made him happy that happiness was there in her life after what all the sad things happened and now they, you see, they had to go. He began calling.

"Hey! Why don't you give me?"

"Hey you! First go and get a warm bath, you shouldn't be so caring about some stupid fan message!" she laughed and advised

"How can you say that it's a fan message?"

"Cause..I could.. umm.. Smell it!"

"Hey! You can't! I want it!" he yelled like a small boy teased by someone.

She paced back slowly warning him not to approach her to take his phone, he looked at her and seeing what she was up to, his towel was entangled in him, because they were running like as if running after a burglar! She smirked, and wiped the phone. But she was disappointed when she saw the code pin to be entered. Tyson laughed..

"Hey! HAHAHA!.." He laughed evilly madly...

"Hey! I can guess your password!" she protested now losing on him.

"Haha! Not even in million years! Try it!"

"So let's see. Is it Dragoon? No it isn't." the phone showed wrong password.

"Beyblade!"

"BBA!"

"Tyson!"

"No! Then who?"

"Haha, you aint going through it ever!"

"Haah! So what, I'll keep trying, and I'm not going to give it to you!" she spoke proudly..

"Whatever. Try for your whole life." he said as he closed the door

Hilary tried many passwords but failed, she wondered what it could be. Tyson, what is your password. It's not your any favorite things I tried, not even Dragoon, then who..? Maybe it is Kai, after all, they are close friends. Oh no it aint him either. Oh I cannot think more, he is so clever, I give up!

She kept his phone in her pocket of short denim jeans and sat on his bed pacing back and forth, a bit bored. It was so fun just before. Really awesome. She remembered how they were running after each other and most of the times she hardly escaped his perfect grab, and kept on running, man, after all she also started practicing in physical exercises when did they. She received a call from her phone, and pulled it out, it was a call from Margot.

"Hello, Hilary speaking"

"Margot here. How are you aren't at your room? Where are you?"

"I'm ... somewhere..dear.."

"Oh! Are you at Tyson's Dojo?" Hilary was shocked..

"Yeah I m, and would you tell me how would you know.."

"Kinda guessed.."

'Oh!..So clever! N, I mean becoming clever!"

"Maybe, Even I bet you are in his room right now."

She blushed madly but strongly spoke.

"Maybe you are not that clever, I'm in hall, not in his room. Why should I be?" She lied as she got up and walked in the balcony placing her elbow on the little wall that rose till her stomach. They chatted many things, about her job, life, holiday, government, Tyson, bladebreakers, and other teams they met in the past, and most of all, about her perception of being kicking her home. That topic sucked her. She didn't want to be to be reminded of yet she said what she perceived and gave all the explanation for her decision. Though Margot respected all her reasons and her decision, she never would have done that...The topic turned to that of their junior high life, that wasn't exciting as they thought to be.. She chatted and her mind switched constantly to different topics. It was fifteen minutes then..

She felt the presence of someone. She turned while her ear still on phone, and saw a Tyson, out shirtless. She felt the urge to move out of the room and give him his privacy though she wondered that he could have worn that before coming out. As she strode, she could feel him staring at her with most yearning and longing and smirking expression that she quickly switched off her phone disconnecting it and pacing out looking down at the floor never daring to look at him, blushed. But before she could head furthermore, she saw him approaching her, quietly, unusual, for something. She was a bit fright and her skipped beats, adrenaline preparing to be out. She paced back at his each tread and kept on doing it, hysterical immensely and looking at him now, for his reason. He stopped pacing back when she felt the wall with which she gently collided. She was facing him. His eyes deeply looking or gazing in her jewel ruby eyes and her messed up brunette hair. She felt the urge to clear them, but she wasn't in that position. She looked in his eyes trying to distract herself from her gaze being constantly to his well-developed muscular body that she noticed was blanch as her. Their faces were centimeters apart and her face was becoming paler due to fear and the sudden interaction for which she wasn't ready. She would have reacted normally at certain occasions, like when she cried or was in need of solace and he kissed her on her forehead, that didn't tense her, but solaced her and she never felt awkward about it. But this was different. It was out of internal longing, craving and zeal. He seemed to be the closest right then, his wet hair that were untied collided on her cheek as they swayed, the little scent water in his hair dripped a few drops on her neck that kinda tickled her, he had his towel around his shoulder, and the closeness that freaked her. Before she would close her eyes slowly involuntary preparing for something he would impart she felt a smooth touch on her leg, near her denims, which she tried to analyze. Tyson slowly and quietly put his hand in her pocket, still confusing her with his much meant beguiling expression that shivered her only when she felt the mere touch where she hadn't been ever expecting from inside…His fingers slowly landed inside and he grabbed something he wanted to… his cell phone! After he took it he moved back quickly and laughed sheepishly still trying to examine if he had really tricked her making her dumbstruck and embarrassed. She turned angry and pouted her lips, her forehead forming lined quicker and her nose rose a bit and began yelling.

"Hey! What do you think you are?" she screeched in annoy and embarrassment pulling her sleeves up as if getting ready for fight. But he replied sweetly.

"Me? Oh I'm Tyson Granger, The three times World Champion!" he replied sarcastically..

"Shut up! I was so edgy at your sudden...Hmph!" she didn't spoke further and turned with her lips pouted . But most of all, she was sad for losing herself, she has lost her control at that moment, but it was not evident since the things cleared out early.

"If you hadn't taken my cellphone, you wouldn't be facing this. Now I got it.." he smiled approaching her quickly and handing her his phone which surprised her..

"Take it back, I don't want to face what I just had, I'm not willing to check your phone anymore.." she stretched her hand beckoning him to take his phone, closing her eyes, bit hurt, not that much..

He took it and placed his hand on her shoulder that in turn came before face where he was holding his phone. She opened her eyes and saw him entering the password on his phone that was right front of her face in his hand. He typed, the password was unexpected completely and she widened her eyes when she saw it. It was her own name...Hilary. He opened up the message. Yeah as she thought it was some fan thing which he didn't wasted time in reading and dumped in delete box.

"You Happy now?" he asked..

"Tyson.." she said his name softly, never knowing that he had his softest side always with him which he was opening to her. A picture went through her mind, supposedly to be a quote, but only she could remember a few words..Regret..Relations..Afraid…..She couldn't remember more, but she quickly analyzed that it was the wallpaper of his phone and it did appeared only after he typed his password…and she really wanted to read it now..

"It's okay. Don't say anything. I'm sorry…I know how it kinda freaked you. Hehe."

He smiled sheepishly and she just looked at the screen of his smart phone. But before she could think furthermore, it came to her that how we was holding her, that wasn't the thing that caught her, it was that his shirtless position, with which they stood too close and he was focused on his electronic. It was just that her right side collided with his left and his left arm came right over her neck passing through shoulder, just like friends hold, obviously, they were more than friends. When she realized this, she tried not t give any signals any make more embarrassment but suddenly her face appeared right in front of her along with his, on his phone, it was that he wanted to take a short selfie, before she could blush at the screen, she began the little blurt, narrowed eyes..

"Oh Tyson, just wear your shirt first alright." She said a bit blushing and moving away and handling him his yellow t shirt and red jacket. She always wore her black sleeveless top, with stripes that landed just below her abdomen the waist unveiled and above it, her orange jacket or sometimes the red one, but the latter thing was different from that of his and she wore her short jeans denims that were usual for most of the times. She gazed at him as he wore his yellow t shirt and then wearing his jacket not forgetting to pull up the sleeves till his one forth wrist was visible and then immediately looking at her for the little memory to be build. She gave a forced smile at his little sense of happiness and making up her mind to get ready to be held tight in his warm arms and colliding their adjacent cheeks with the cutest smiles they could give. But you know, when you think about to look good when you actually don't know what you really want, just we look the cutest when we are happy and have the courage to bring it on our faces in smiles. It's just when life tends to get beautiful and you are happy about everything you are, you are with, you feel and you see the air being blown so cool. It's just happens, in lifetime, not perhaps every time but at least sometime. The moments are worth, worth living. So did her. When he held closer and was getting ready to click the button. She smiled from her heart and held him tighter that only made him a quite more to give that natural blush along with the smile he was building. When the pic was shot, he had a faint blush and that was a kinda funny. It was him who initiated it and now it was himself who was flushed out. When he moved apart, after pushing his ponytail back, he began to keep his phone in his pocket,

"Wait Tyson, just can I have it?" she asked laughing sheepishly scratching her head. He looked at her and just handed it. She held it much with her hands giving him an unproblematic access to see what she doing. She just kinda typed out the thing and stopped. She could see the multicolored ocean of various oceans on the silicate like transparent screen. The sunset time was certain and the beautiful words were just the quote she wanted to read..

"In the end we only regret. The chances we didn't take, the relations we were afraid to have and the decisions that we took too long to make."

"You like the quote?" he asked smirking maturely.

"Kinda. It's almost true." she said softly

"Then what's the thing you don't feel true?" he asked with a little waving hands for his words.

She sighed faintly looking down closed eyes for a mere seconds and the uttered..

"It's well all true as fact but you know it's much true which is why what I said. " she said hushed. He looked at her confused for not being clear in her words yet analyzing them much meticulously. While he did, she simply passed by him and handed him his phone and began to retreat the room. It woke him from his wonder state and he turned gently to watch as he began to leave. Before she slid the door, she turned half right, looking at her right shoulder, so that he could see her half face, just like it appeared a silhouette where the grey clouds had conquered the sky, already..

"Come fast down." she smiled softly widely as soon as she finished her room and went off disappearing in seconds. Her sudden attitude left him speechless but he just took a few more minutes to analyze what she just meant…She knew the quote was cent percent correct and much stuck to the fact though she knew it was correct, she just didn't wanted to accept it, the second part of the quote was much the logic to it..

He smiled widely and laughed sheepishly when a person just does when he finds much something to the fact that was easy to surmise. He took out his blade and looked at, preparing his mind to be ready for what he exactly wanted, he was awake for the darkest hours of the night for it and he'll be from now on as he decided. It was a little secret.

"So dragoon is you ready bud?" he asked cheerfully. The blade glowed which he greeted with smile.

"Alright just we are gonna do it." He smiled widest and began to pace off his room which had the faint brightness that he liked. He never appreciated the bright sun unless it was dampen chilled like the North Pole. The white net like curtains which had thread like work on it with the same color tied at the middle and they flew up high as he slid off the door after switching off the lights and fans. Before he reached the dojo, he had a few words mumbled in mellifluous sweet tone, the lyrics of the song he had been listening recently the former part. He surely had a charming voice that was one of his nestled ability beside break dance (rap music), and slow partner dance.

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

He walked slower and mumbled the music gently, and pulling his jacket closer since the little colder wind had grew a little larger than the morning. Walking, pacing, thoughts, memories captured the mind; the little music had caused the silhouette to be sharper, and looked almost like someone walking in yearn. He stopped mumbling and went in the dojo seeing everybody staring at him for the mere delay, yet he just looked around and, took out his blade, whirled the base of the blade with the zip thing ( just like he did in the first episode of the 3rd season) and launched his blade .Kenny looked at him confused and asked him if he was sure that it was him to battle right then..

"Then who's gonna battle?"

"Well, Hilary has the schedule" Kenny looked at her beckoning her to say the respective bladers.

She scratched her head and smiled sheepishly sitting beside Kenny.

"Well I kinda forgot at my home. We have to manage this for today. Hehe. "

"Well you are just becoming careless. Will it be possible for you to get it now?" Kenny snapped out. Hilary sighed, with the almost close eyes and cursing her luck. Oh it is much obvious that it wasn't prepared.

"Hey! Relax. Anyone can start, alright? There's nothing much to be worried." He tried to calm the little argument in favor of her.

"Hmm. Ok fine. So Tyson, you can battle against…hmm. Kai!"
