Chapter 5
The Final Victim! Tyson!
"Hi guess who!" The teenage girl sang into her cell phone. Rei had left to fetch Tyson a few minutes ago and she was using this time to her advantage. "Jess, can you please do me an itty bitty favor, please? You, see I called this pizza place not too far a from where my counselor works and ordered a pizza, but I accidentally forgot to ask them to deliver it to my counselor's office."
Seconds passed in which the person on the other side of the phone talked. "Okay," the teenage counselor replied. "Oh, I'm still at the counselor's office because I'm counseling some people myself." More seconds passed as the person talked and the counselor frowned. "Look maybe we should talk about this later. Just get me my pizza and bring it to room 666." Another pause. "Yes I know what 666 stands for! And I personally think it suits this situation just fine."
X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.
"Uh?" Was all Rei could say when he reached the other Bladebreakers. Tyson was smiling and sitting happily on Kai's lap while Max was staring in shock, and Kai looked like he was struggling with something. "Did I miss something?"
Tyson's smile widened at Rei's question. "Nope."
"Well, it's your turn Tyson," Rei mumbled, still in shock.
"Great!" The bluenette jumped out of Kai's lap and ran in the direction he had seen all his other friends go.
X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.
The teenage girl was leaning back in her chair. What to do while she waited for her next patient? She had already sung, used her cell phone, and called the real counselor a bitch. What else could she do? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Well maybe not everything. She could break out and dance but even she wasn't that desperate.
"Hi! Is this Ms. Han's room?"
Thank Kami! I was about to break out and start dancing! Smiling the girl nodded her head and motioned for Mr. Kinomiya to sit down on the couch. The bluenette quietly took his seat. "What would you like to talk about Tyson?" She asked sweetly. Teammates! Please! If he says teammates then I can trick him into thinking he loves Kai, or maybe Rei, or Max! Come on teammates!
"I thought about it while I was out in the waiting room," Tyson started and looked down nervously at his feet. "And I would like to talk about my family."
Damn! The girl cursed mentally. "Okay then let's-"
"Delivery!" The two teens in the room turned around to see another teenage girl with short brown hair standing in the doorway holding a box of pizza.
The counselor smiled before shouting, "Sweet!" Practically jumping out of her seat she rushed over to the other girl's side and grabbed the pizza from the brunette's hands. "Sorry Tyson, but I haven't had lunch all day and I really need this pizza."
Tyson smirked, "I don't mind. As long as you share some of that with me."
Putting the pizza box down on the desk the counselor opened it and grabbed a slice of pizza and took a big bite out of it. "Yum! and you have got yourself a deal," She said to Tyson with her mouth full.
"Excuse me ma'am," The delivery girl said coldly as she glared at the counselor. "But I believe we need to discus the matter of payment outside."
Taking the hint the counselor put down her slice of pizza and followed the other girl outside of the room, while making sure to close the door behind her. Glaring at the delivery girl the counselor spat out, "What now, Jess? I got a patient."
"No you don't," Jess said haughtily. "Do you realize that what you're doing is a state offense! You can get arrested!"
"Arrested!" The counselor shouted in disbelief. "How can I get arrested!"
"Simple," Jess hissed. "You're impersonating a counselor, which is against the law! You break the law and you go to jail! That's how!"
"Well no one will find out as long as you keep your mouth shut." The counselor smirked and folded her arms confidently over her chest. "They don't even know my name, and as long as they don't know that they can't blame me."
"Hello! Use your brain!" Jess scowled at her friend. "I'm guessing you were the last one in there," she pointed to the counselor's room, "before your counselor went missing, meaning when all of your so-called 'patients' realize you weren't a real counselor everyone will look at you because you were the last one to see the real counselor. Get it! You're screwed!"
"No I'm not!" The counselor shouted in defense. "I got everything under control!"
"You wish!" Jess yelled.
"Oh I'm not just wishing!" and with that said the counselor slammed open the door and walked into the room before slamming it on her friend's face.
"I'm guessing you two know each other," Tyson said as he took a bite out of the slice of pizza he had taken when the counselor was gone.
"What did you hear?" the counselor asked breathlessly. Who knew yelling took so much out of you?
Tyson shrugged. "Nothing. All I heard was yelling. I couldn't make out what you two were saying."
"Sorry, that was unprofessional of me." The girl said ashamed.
"It's okay," Tyson said with a comforting smile. "Now take a seat and we can start our session.
For once the teenage counselor smiled a real smile. Taking a seat she picked up her pad of paper and got ready to take "notes." "Is there anyone in particular in your family you wish to talk about?"
"Not real," Tyson answered. "I love my grandpa, but I wish that he didn't always try to attack me with a wooden sword, even if it is for training. I also have some brother issues."
Great, brother issues. I hope listening to Jess complain about her brother will help me with this, the girl thought to herself. "Tell me about them."
"I love my brother Hiro, but I still feel a little hurt and betrayed. I'm not sure how much of a beyblade fan you are so you might know this already or not, but when we really needed him he ditched our team to coach the Bega team."
The counselor nodded her head in understanding. "From the sound of it you still care about your brother but the pain from that betrayal is still there, and my guess is that you want to go away. Now here's my question: How can you do that?"
"What?" Tyson said in confusion. "No offense, but aren't you supposed to tell me the answer to that?"
The girl smiled at him. "I'm a counselor Mr. Kinomiya. My job is to help guide you and help you make decisions. My job is not to hold your hand and tell you what to do."
"Well then, I don't know what to do," Tyson cried out in exasperation.
The counselor chuckled. It was amusing to see this side of Tyson. From what she had seen of Tyson on the TV he's usually energetic and always up for a challenge. She had never seen Tyson give up like now. "You know Mr. Kinomiya, it's natural to feel that way. You've been hurt, and it's going to take time to heal. It could be ten years from now and you could still feel that hurt, but as long as you don't let it hold you back everything will be fine."
"Really?" Tyson asked in disbelief.
"Yes really," the counselor said cheerfully. Now! Right now is perfect! "So Mr. Kinomiya, unless there's some more issues you have with your family let's talk about your teammates."
Tyson laughed at the suggestion. "What is there to say about my teammates? I love them. Max is my best friend, Rei is like my second brother, and Kai is my first love."
The girl dropped her pencil and note pad in shock. Did he just say his first love was Kai! "Mr. Kinomiya," she said as calmly as she could. "You say Kai is your first love, correct? Now would you happen to still love him?"
Tyson blushed bright red in embarrassment. He really hadn't planned on telling the counselor that. "Um…yes."
"Can I hug you?"
"What?" Tyson was stunned by the weird question.
"I'm just so happy for you," the girl said with little tears forming in the corner of her eyes. "It's people like you who are comfortable with your sexuality that makes my job easier." At least the making my job easier part is true.
"I guess you can hug me then," Tyson said cautiously.
"Thank you," The girl said and hugged him, and pulled back instantly. "Sorry if you were expecting a longer hug, but your fan girls will hunt me down if I hug you for too long."
X.X.X.X.X.X.
