Yo! Thanks for the reviews guys. That was much appreciated.

Chapter 4:

Madoka was so much absorbed in her work that she didn't realize it had been morning already. Seeing the sun rise, she felt really tired and didn't feel good either, but she had to go to work. Before getting ready she decided to take a small nap. She laid her head down on her working desk.

Blackout…

Gingka woke up. He yawned and headed towards Madoka's desk that had her head rested on her desk. Gingka giggled slightly upon seeing the memorable sight. He sighed when he saw Pegasus well as new. He shook Madoka's shoulder slightly. His hands accidently touched her lower cheek only to feel her skin burning. He got extremely worried when the thought of Madoka being sick crossed his mind. He shook her a little but there was no response. Madoka was unconscious. Gingka didn't have a good idea of how to treat someone who has a high fever. Gingka thought for a while then carried her bridal style to her room. He placed her carefully on the bed and pulled a blanket over her. He really didn't know what to do next, so he dialed the doctor's number and called the doctor to the Bey-Pit. Meanwhile, Gingka ran his hands through Madoka's forehead making sure that her condition doesn't get worse. He mentally cursed himself for letting Madoka stay up the whole night. 'Madoka stayed up the whole night only to fix Pegasus. How could I be so mean? I'm the cause to this, Gingka mentally cursed himself. It's just that Madoka didn't get enough sleep last night.'

Soon, the doctor came and examined Madoka. He claimed that there is nothing to worry about. "All she needs is a good rest, and then she'll be fine in no time," the doctor suggested. "Thank you, doctor!" Gingka thanked the doctor who soon left.

Gingka sat beside Madoka who was still asleep. He was looking at her with hope filled in his eyes that she will get better soon.

"Gingka…" Madoka spoke weakly and suddenly. Gingka grabbed her hand tightly and spoke, "I'm here Madoka!" Madoka saw the worry and sorrow in his eyes. She placed her hand on his cheek and smiled at him. She was aware of the fact that she had become unconscious earlier, but then, she realized that she is getting late for work. Madoka made an attempt to get up from her bed, but failed as Gingka stopped her and she wasn't feeling well either. "Gingka, I'm getting late for work." Madoka protested. "No way! You're not going to work today. You need to rest." Gingka cried. "I'm fine, Gingka!" Madoka spoke softly. "You don't need to worry about me." "Worry? You think I don't need to worry about you? You stayed up the whole night only to fix Pegasus. You do a lot for me Madoka and I really appreciate it, but risking your health for me is not a chance. You know I love you and if something happens to you, I won't be able to live anymore." Madoka was startled and quite impressed by his short speech. She didn't want Gingka to repeat such stuff and worry about her this much. Madoka took Gingka's hands in hers, "You don't need to say such stuff Gingka. I had to finish fixing Pegasus because I know how much you care about your bey and you don't want to see it in this condition for so long, so I decided to fix Pegasus right away. And secondly, you have to battle Zero and the others too so I thought that I should get it fixed. Plus it's no big deal. All I need is to rest a little more and I'll be better in no time." Madoka said. "Madoka, this is what made me fall for you." Gingka said with dreamy eyes. Madoka giggled. They started staring into each other's eyes when their special moment was interrupted by the ring of the bell.

"I'll see." Gingka said as he trailed off downstairs to open the door, revealing several young bladers ready for a battle. "Whoa, Zero, you were right. Gingka Hagane really is here." A black haired blader exclaimed. "It's a pleasure to meet you", said a kid with blond hair. "Uhhh… What's this, Zero?" Gingka asked. "I told them that you're here and that I'm going to battle you. They didn't believe me so I brought them along." Zero explained. Gingka didn't seem happy with his decision. "Is there something wrong, Gingka?" Zero asked, agitated. Gingka bent down and whispered into Zero's ear. "Madoka is not feeling well. I have to take care of her. I can't battle you today. Sorry!" Gingka whispered. "Oh, I see. So, can I see her?" Zero asked, worried. "Uh, no! She's actually resting right now. As soon as she gets better, I'll battle each and every one of you, I promise." Gingka promised.

The other kids left along with Zero when he explained them about 'the reason behind not battling today'. Zero and the others were having a bey battle in the Bey Park when Tsubasa walked in. "What's up with the long faces you guys?" Tsubasa asked teasingly. "Madoka isn't feeling well, so Gingka is looking after her. This means he won't battle us right now. I trained so hard last night, so I can have a good match with Gingka, but I'm afraid this won't happen anymore." Zero said. "Wait, Madoka's sick?" Tsubasa asked worry filled in his eyes. "Yeah, that's what Gingka told us." Zero gestured. "That's why she didn't come to work today. I'll go check on her." Tsubasa said before he left.

-Meanwhile at the Bey Pit-

"Who was it Gingka?" Madoka asked when Gingka walked upstairs. "It was Zero and the others. They wanted to have a bey battle with me, but I refused because I had to look after you." Gingka replied. "You don't have to worry about me, Gingka. Those kids were dying to have a battle with you. They must be sad right now. You should go and battle them." Madoka said. Before Gingka could say something, the bell rang once again. Gingka sighed and went downstairs revealing Tsubasa.

"Hi Tsubasa!" Gingka greeted, warmly.

"Hey Gingka, is Madoka alright? She didn't come to work today and Zero told me that you're not battling them because you need to take care of Madoka?" Tsubasa asked.

"She's alright now. She just needs some rest. And yeah, I can't leave her alone here and go off battling others." Gingka suggested.

"Don't worry Gingka; I'll take care of Madoka. You need to battle those bladers. They have been anxiously waiting for you to battle them. Zero said that he trained the whole night just so he could have a good match with you." Tsubasa said.

"But what about Madoka?" Gingka hesitated.

"I told you I'll take care of her. Besides, I have taken a day off today." Tsubasa smiled.

"Well, okay. But please be sure that she gets whatever she needs. I'm leaving her in your hands, buddy." Gingka half commanded.

"She's in good hands!" Tsubasa ensured, while he placed a hand on Gingka's shoulder, telling him to fully trust him on this.

Tsubasa wished Gingka good luck and made his way towards Madoka's room. He made a soft knock on the door before entering. "What took you so long, Gingka?" Madoka questioned, not looking at the door. "How are you, Madoka?" Tsubasa asked as he walked in. "Tsubasa, what are you doing here?" Madoka asked, surprised. "I got the news that you're not feeling well so I came here to check on you." Tsubasa explained. "Thanks, I'm better now. But where's Gingka?" Madoka asked. "He's battling Zero and the others at the Bey Park. He was worried sick about you, but I told him to go and battle those bladers and that I'll take care of you." Tsubasa said while taking a seat. "That's really nice of you, Tsubasa. But, I'm fine, really!" Madoka said. "That's okay. Anyways, I've taken a day off today. So I'll stay here until Gingka returns." He said. Madoka just smiled.

"So, Madoka? Did Gingka made any moves last night?" Tsubasa smirked. "W-What do you mean?" Madoka stammered. "You clearly know what I mean. Look, we've been friends since seven years and I know you two very well. We all know that there is something going on between the two of you. So spill the beans." Tsubasa demanded softly. 'Oh God, he knows!' Madoka thought. "Oh come on Madoka. When you and Gingka left, I was watching you from the window. I also saw the fan girls encircling Gingka. What happened next is what I want to know." Tsubasa exclaimed. Madoka sighed and told him everything that happened last night. Tsubasa was quite shocked to hear the Gingka actually kissed Madoka. He did not expect him to make such a move, but his expectations were proved wrong.

"So, you two finally got together?" Tsubasa asked, smirking a little. "Yeah, but please don't let anyone know. We want to keep this as a secret for now." Madoka suggested. "I see. I will do as you tell me to." Tsubasa smiled.

All of a sudden, Tsubasa's mobile phone rang. "Hello?" Tsubasa answered the call. "Is this Tsubasa Otori from the WBBA?" The man from the other side of the phone spoke. "Yes, this is me!" "I've called you to tell you that the WBBA is having a ball. You are requested to inform all the bladers from around the world, the teams that participated in the world championships and the Legendary Bladers, all are invited. The ball will have a dance party too, so they are required to come with a date. If not possible, then they may come dateless, but they should attend the ball. If you need to know about the other requirements, just call me. And the ball is day after tomorrow. Until then, bye!" The man hung the phone. "Well, guess we have a grand ball coming up." Tsubasa told Madoka.
