"To whom are you calling, Ray?"
"Tyson?"
"What happened?" he walked to him.
"What? Tyson! She was just here! I swear I heard her- but now she's go-"
"Who Ray? There's nobody here Ray. Just calm down." he held him to calm him down and looked around if anyone could be here in this deserted graveyard.
He realized that she was gone and now there was no use calling her. He looked down sadly and began walking.
They walked quietly, while the blunette didn't want to disturb him. He shortly looked at him as they walked over the hot streets of Japan with the sun a little harsher on them. He placed his hands slowly inside the pockets and continued his regular thoughts.
"Is everything alright Ray?"
"Yeah." He answered strongly, no more with weakness.
"Hmm."
"Tyson."
"Yeah?" he looked at him, with eyes setting on him. He hadn't expected Ray speak soon.
"Are you fine?"
"Uhm, what do you mean?" he asked shrugging his shoulders.
"Haven't you talked to Hilary yet?" Those words shot him internally and he just managed to utter.
"I mean…it's just fine, if she doesn't wanna talk to me, its fine. I mean what can I do?"
"Hmm maybe something, at least. Anyway leave it."
"Uhm-Ray. Are you alright?" he asked slowly looking in his golden eyes with softness.
"No, I'm not alright…I just wish if either I could undo the past or punish myself to the harshest level."
"Ray, you needn't need to think this way all the time." he paused shortly when he found the golden glare staring at him, "I mean how will you be able to move on when you are just regretting so damn."
"So you think it wasn't my fault?' he shot back.
"Is that gonna change if I say no?"
"What?"
"Listen Ray, you gotta change your perception. It's just a cruel truth that nothing can be undone. You have to live with it."
"I don't understand this Tyson, I don't understand. I just don't get it."
"So what you were doing there?"
"I just visited her. And to my surprise-"
"To your surprise, what?"
"I just could communicate with her." he sighed.
"WHAT! You oughta be kiddin' " Tyson moved back hysterically.
"Don't you believe me?" he hushed.
"Uh, I mean, this is not possible. Ray, you must be imagining it. Salima, she is not alive. She had bid us lot time before."
"Let it be Tys, you won't believe me…"
"Okay, kay. I trust you."
"Hmm. You tell me, are you practicing yet?"
"Uhm. I mean, yeah, I'm."
".."
"And I thought you both were in relation. Weren't you Tyson?" he said staring at the bluenette. He thought about it for a few seconds before replying, he surely wasn't, but then something else stuck in mind.
"Would it be wrong if I made her to be in?" he asked looking confidently in those golden eyes.
"Maybe, I mean she's younger…it's just appear so fine for the males, cause we tend to be more mature, usually." he broke the eye contact and walked like before.
Just who knows how much she's trying to be strong to live on her own. I just could smile biggest for whatever she did to me when I remember this morning when she received those…I just hope if we could be together again. I won't be in any relation with you until you are ready but yet I long for you, for your smile at me, the feelin's when you are in my room. I just feel I'm…
"Ray…Do you think everything will be alright?" he asked without confidence.
"Until you are ready to do something. You are just weird Tyson. You watch him confess her and she rejects him, yet you said nothing to her, and now I don't think you feel so happy when she goes out with him."
"What- I me-a-n I ju-st."
"No use Tyson. Just at least ask yourself why you didn't confess her? You were judging her…right."
Judging
Judging
Judging
The word echoed in his mind and he felt sorry if it was true.
"No Ray! I wasn't judging her. I just wanted to give her space! Trust me!"
"I trust you. Don't let that space be occupied by someone else when you are not there when she needed you the most."
I just hope I'm not wrong. Did I let you go just simply because I were judging you that you really-
Was I so selfish, was I wrong? Is what Ray said so true?
NO! It can't be, he just gotta face much more regret for he had done anyway in his life .I just gave her time.
They continued walking down the deserted street in hot air, grasses on either side and thoughts in head.
.

Kai and Hilary reached dojo a bit early than Tyson and Ray did and they were just getting into their chores while she climbed upstairs with her fingers playing in her hairs lazily. She could feel the hot beats within herself that she felt she was so accustomed to and now what mattered was if she could just put on a fake smile whenever she could.
It was so quiet still around in dojo. She didn't notice that Max and others were still not home yet.
She sighed in as sort of frightened and the rush of emotions she could not understand came running to her as she opened the door and looked inside.
It was dead still; no flutter of curtain. Usually when she saw them, she could feel a face of the blunette smiling at her and that realized her someway but it was so dead curently and she could feel the little lumps in her chest as she sighed weirdly.
"Oh."
She walked inside and looked around, a dead horrifying air and some sort of warning music echoed…She closed her eyes tightly at this and opened only when she felt it was her imagination. Something felt like it was imminent and inevitable to happen.
She opened his closet and pulled out her light blue top and mistakenly took his grey jeans, she couldn't identify it from hers that were mixed in his. Nevertheless, she lazily pulled off her hair band and allowed the hair to fall on her shoulders and gazed at the ripcord that was lying there, she wondered if that as an extra.
After a few minutes when she changed, she carefully tied back her pony and walked downstairs with usual eyes looking down.
She wondered where her blader was, she had a little urge to talk to him some way, just get that little smile or smirk she could treasure her whole life.
And I never knew the silence before the storm
And I had no idea how terribly I was gonna caught.
And then again, once again if we could talk
If we could smile in the morning walks
If you would pull out your jacket and place over my shoulders,
If I would smile in the mornings that are usual colder
But before that lot more to go
Lot more to see and the winds to blow
The tears and sobs out so loud
Hear me from the silence that the destiny had dawned
Then what else that remains
Then what else that remains
Dejection, fear, pain, beats and the heat
Let it burn, let it burn, let it lead…
The amethyst orbs stared at her as she looked around if she could make something before anyone would come and she feared if the blonde and the Chinese blader was still mad about her. She hoped he wouldn't yell at her to go away. That was so cruel, but she didn't shiver at the thought presently.
"Hmm. Where is everyone?" she asked lazily as her eyes read the kitchen and as she walked towards him.
"How am I supposed to know either?"
"Hmm…I was thinking to make some pancakes for Ty-for us, maybe we could eat something nice."
"Hn."
"Okay fine, I'll just make a few first for you." she smiled hysterically.
"Whatever."
"And…"
"And?"
"Where's Tyson?" she tried to sound not to cross his rage.
"Why do you bother?" his voice rose in an observable envy.
"I mean, I was just asking." she slightly fidgeted.
"I just wanted to know, alright." she said out a bit loud trying to show she had the courage, but yet it came out tensed. "I want to talk to him." She said without thinking, she'd have never said if she had confidence in her words.
"NO ONE SECOND, WHY DO YOU SO MUCH BOTHER ABOUT HIM?! DO YOU GOT A HUGE CRUSH ON HIM?!" he shot angrily with his voice now enough risen to scare the poor girl away. She stared at him in frightening state.
"I –I " she flexed her shoulders weirdly as she tried to move around.
"NO JUST TELL ME WHY YOU ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT HIM? WHY DO YOU SO MUCH CARE ABOUT HIM? I LITERALLY WANTED TO KILL THAT BASTARD SOMETIMES WHO HAD TAKEN AWAY EVERYTHING FROM ME!" he shrieked loudly letting the deepest pains out at the poor girl. What got worst was, she let out little whining when he held her around her shoulders shaking them violently.
There was no one around to help out the two emotionally stricken friends.
"Please let me go. Don't say anything please. I'm tired!" she sobbed slightly, trying to free her shoulders.
"SERIOUSLY I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHIG HILARY! I'M TIRED OF WAITING FOR THIS UNREQUITED THING TO FADE AWAY AND THE RETURN FOR. I'M DESPERATE! DON'T YOU REALIZE!" he yelled out again as she tried to speak, but she didn't had any chance, she wanted to clear up the things she still didn't know how to, but all she could feel were the most terrible sensations, her heart throbbing at highest rate, so much of fear from inside that could be seen in her pale and extreme panicky anxiety face.
"I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING! PLEASSE! LET ME GO NOW!" She cried.
"TELL ME HOW CAN I LET YOU GO WHEN I HAVE SO MUCH OF QUESTIONS AND SO MUCH TO UNDERSTAND! YOU JUST LIKE TO PLAY WITH EVERYONE'S FEELINGS! ISN'T IT?" his voice already turned spiteful and filled with impudence and malice, and it somewhat echoed in the dojo and the hot afternoon already had risen heat a lot between everyone, and now the brunette was freely sobbing out loud letting out her cries heard by him as he continued to yell, because though he felt extremely to stop that volcanic words gush, that that wasn't possible now, it had to come out. She shivered as he kept on violently trembling over her weak shoulders by his hands. She tried to plead a lot and she knew that if this wouldn't stop, she was sure going to go die out of heartache or some painful thing.
I just wanted to say that how much I wanted to stop them.
The little, but the much meant contacts and the spiteful contemptuous harsh words were piercing through her so badly.
"I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LIKE TO BE WITH HIM, AND I DON'T HELL UNDERSTAND YOU! WHAT YOU WANT! JUST WHY CAN'T YOU FORGET THAT IDIOT WHO DON'T EVEN DESEREVE YOU. JUST WHY YOU CAN'T SEE SO MUCH DEEP IN MY INSIDE! WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING HOPE FOR!
WHAT IS THAT YOU'RE HOLDING HOPE FOR!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING SO MUCH TO GO UPSTAIRS EACH TIME YOU COME HERE! EACH TIME THAT FIXED STARE! WHAT THE HELL IT HOLDS!" he antagonized.
Please help me, don't let me down
Darling I hope, that you'll be here
When I need you the most
'Cause I need you, I need you right now
So don't let me down!
…..
….
. . .
"Huh?" a blessing echoed, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" A navy blue haired blader glared at the scarfed blader with the incensed and furious burning auburn pools. He was accompanied by the long haired guy, who stood vexed at the dilemma.
She looked at the breath of her life who was right here to safe her. A short, yet agonizing sigh was let, as he stalked towards his rival and he was like ready to take everything.
"WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT!"
"WHAT THE HELL I WANT….LET ME REPHARESE IT, WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT OUT HERE? LET HER GO! RIGHT NOW!" he screamed high, nearly punching high his shoulders that the dual haired blader nearly dodged, and he finally managed to let her free and she slipped out in highest breaths and throbbing body at the corner.
"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE…JUST BECAUSE SHE IS HERE DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO BACK DOWN!"
"YOU BETTER NOT! I HATE YOU FROM THE DAY I SAW YOU SCARING HER OUTTA DOJO CONFESSING YOUR LITTLE THING.I JUST WANTED TO SHOOT YOU DEAD AT THE SPOT BUT I HELD BACK! THE TRUTH IS YOU CHEATED ME AFTER WHAT IS SAID YOU ON THE HILL!"
"PLSS STOP TYSON! PLS STOP THIS."
"SO WHAT! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY OR CONFESS WHATEVER I LIKE! WHY DO YOU BOTHER SO MUCH! BELIEVE ME, I'M ALREADY SICK OUT OF YOU..! I WISH BETTER YOU GO AWAY!"
"WHY WOULD I GO AWAY?! YOU FUCKTARD! YOU'VE BEEN A REAL JERK AND HELL TO HER LIFE. NO DOUBT EVERYTIME SHE IS WITH YOU I WATCH HER AS EXTREMELY WROUGHT UP AND STUNG!"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? I HOPE YOU MIND YOUR LANGUAGE YOU PERVERT JERK! WHAT THE SHIT RIGHT YOU GOT TO SAY SO MUCH WHAT'S BETWEEN US?"
"PLS STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! I BEG YOU BOTH PLEASE SHUT UP!" she sobbed bitterly as the Chinese blader held her outta the danger zone.
"I HAVE GOT ALL RIGHTS TO SAY ABOUT EVERYTHING FOR THE HELL NOTHING BETWEEN YOU…I JUST HAVE MUCH MORE IDEA ABOUT HER FEELINGS AND LIFE YOU COULDN'T NEVER DREAM OF!"
"WHAT TH- "
"YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH YOU ARE A HURDLE AND THORN IN BOTH MY AND HER'S LIFE. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER!
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!
ALL YOU THINK IS ABOUT THE TRIANGLE YOU THINK YOU WANNA WIN, BUT IT HAS MUCH MORE TO DEAL WITH! MUCH MORE TO DEAL WITH, MUCH MORE TO READ THE SOULS, MUCH MORE THAN THOSE MEANT STARES AND HOLDING GAZES, THEY MEAN MUCH MORE! YOU GOT NO FUCKING RIGHT TO YELL OVER HER THIS WAY!
I SWEAR I'M GONNA KILL YOU IF I SEE YOU TORTURING HER ONCE AGAIN!" he was at the top of his loudest screams, squealing threateningly, as they were standing so close that it seemed they could kill each other anytime. That's when Kai hit him hard in his stomach just like 'Tyson' did before, but the bluenette made no move to hit him back, he bent down slightly as he held his abdomen with his wrist. Then, he stood back straight and glared him to more than death.
"PLEASE DON'T SAY HIM ANYTHING TYS, PLEASE JUST STOP THIS, PLEASE!" she shrieked in pain as she was held hard.
"LET ME DO THIS YOU IDIOT! WATCH ME." Kai shot back as he took out his blade and launched it.
"PLEASE DON'T FIGHT! PLEASE TYSON STOP THIS!KAI PLEASE STOP THIS! DON'T DO THIS! I'M SORRY PLEASE!"
He watched the poor and helpless and so down conditions of his brunette, who was laying almost helplessly as she vigorously tried to free herself from the Chinese blader to stop the two of them but then he could also see his Chinese friend glaring at him for such all menial words or whatsoever he said. He was trying his best to hold her and now when he could feel and realize how painful it was to her all this from both of them, he watched her screaming aggrieved; he could feel the heat around and then the accelerated blade that was coming towards from Kai, He immediately launched his blade back and tried to focus at his blade, Dranzer was heading with so much agitation, envy and hatred.
"PLEASE STOP THIS! DON'T DO THIS….I DON'T WANT YOU TO FIGHT! PLEASE!"
"YOU WANT IT THIS WAY THEN ITS FINE! HAVE IT YOUR WAY, LETS SEE IF YOU COULD TAKE THIS!" He speeded dragoon and the blades collided with momentum and they crashed violently each time that it seemed that the whole house would fall at once, causing the complete annihilation.
Takao knew he was losing focus on his blade, he didn't know what he had spit just a few seconds before, all he could feel was that he was so wrong, he could hear the so painful screams of her, and Kai's stunning moves that he won't be able to handle right now, he couldn't think about it right now, he was so much in contemplation of everything, he was trying his best to hold his attacks.
He turned his head to look once at her. She looked so despondent and guilty. She couldn't notice it; she just tried to free herself. Her yells and screams echoed in his mind, he couldn't stop this battle. Kai just seemed too invincible, almost lethal. He was playing infallible and Takao was losing at him.
He turned back immediately as he felt something pierce through his wrist, the blade's edge. It was a disgusting attack. Yet he could only return it with a glare, glowering angrily. He tried to counter back, but all he could do was to escape, he couldn't use his potential attacks, he was weakened emotionally and mentally.
He was so numb to the pain to his wrist. He felt a huge pain in his chest. He felt like to stop everything and wrap around her, but when he realized he couldn't do it right now, he began involuntarily,
"CAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA KAI! THE PAIN, THE GRIEF THAT WE KNOW, THAT YOU ONLY THINK IS A PART OF YOU.
CAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SORROWS BEHIND THE FAKE SIMLES
CAUSE YOU CANT READ THE THOUGHTS, THE YEARN BEHIND THOSE EYES
BECAUSE YOU ARE A SELFISH JERK, YOU CAN BE A SO BIG COLD HEARTED PERSON WITH THAT PEREVET ATTITUDE OF YOURS HITTING US MORE THAN YOU UNDERSTAND!"
With that, he couldn't get back any reply, but the Kai's blade hitting over Tyson's wherever possible. Those words he just spat- because he wanted his blade to counter attack, but it were weak. Kai had turned stolid. Tyson was bled over his shoulder, left wrists and on the sides of his wrist; the later attack was powerful that it ripped his jacket and then the top a bit. He could feel the warm liquid pouring out. What hurt the most were her higher pitched cries that worsened in agony and affliction. He bit his lips in anger as he saw her condition and he glared back at the crashing blades, and it hit him again, and on the same wound on the wrist.
"PLEASE STOP THIS! "She cried, once again.
He shook his wrist violently as he felt this time the affliction of wound a more bitter, he stared at the cold blader as he continued his malice attacks over him…
He sighed as he called his blade and held it, meaning that he give up, and the battle ended with one final attack by Dranzer- piercing the sharp edge over Tyson's forehead, and the blade returned.
Kai walked out with no signs of any sympathy or guilt, that egoist face on him, no realization, while Tyson felt like he had won the extempore battle. He had finally managed to end the battle. He turned to face Hilary giving her a little smile he wanted to bring but it was so painful, with red drop over his forehead.
The brunette was freed, and the Chinese blader sat in the corner as he watched them, something he considered as epitome of friendship. She instantly ran towards him and though she nearly slipped as she was so much sa. He had managed to hold her by his left arm and…
Slowly made her stand properly. He could see the tearful face that he couldn't take to see. He wished if he could make her happy again and compensate everything.
He weakly put his arm around her back and cupped her chin and tried to smile at her, but his own chin was so heavy and lips nearly bled. He found it hard to lift the corner of his lips. She cried as she saw his weak and such faded face. He shook his shoulders slowly yet powerfully however he can, telling her further not to shed any more tears.
I know that you have been hurt,
And I donno how to compensate yet,
It's now all when I realize
That I have hurt you a lot in this while.
Truly my breath was held by yours
All the pains, and heartaches it cured.
So tell me would you forgive me?
Tell me would you talk to me?
Would you give me the smile like you gave so before?
Because it's all I really need now so more
I realize the intensity,
The relations and the mysteries.
I see your brunette hair as they flutter
The eyes that weep under the thunder
I wish if I could capture you with my eyes
Hold you on forever till I die
I wish to make you smile like before
I wanted to bring back to life and lure
Your talks and chats that I miss so much
My trust that's always yours, just yours much
Thanks so much to Unaisa Memon, Julia FH and solitude for their wonderful reviews! Lots of love your way!
