Title: To a New Beginning
Chapter: 2. In The Right Place
Completed chapter one: 11/10/06
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!!! Well except, my story.
Guide: This is very important; (spoiler) in my story I assumed that Kai's beyblade was destroyed and was not restored at the end of season 3. And his bitbeast was in Takao's beyblade since during the final match, Dranzer and Dragoon and the others join forces to defeat Brooklyn but since its home (the beyblade) is destroyed, it then goes to Takao's blade. (Actually, I haven't seen the last episode, I just read a bunch of spoilers, I'm such a bad beyblade fan!--spanks herself--)
Well, that's all folks, hope you enjoy.
-o-o-
"You're leaving already?!" Takao asked.
"Of course! I have to go home now. It's getting too late." Hiromi leaving already.
"Wait?!" Takao grasps on Hiromi's hand, begging her not to leave.
Hiromi looking skeptical, " Wow, there must be something wrong with you for wanting me not to leave" then looks straight face to face to Takao, still, very puzzled at the same time amused, " are you sick?!"
"HELL NO!!!" Takao blushed, "Fine! If you don't want to stay, then I'll go along with you home." As he follows her to the door.
Still baffled by his behavior, Hiromi still walks out of the room and out of the dojo, "No thanks, I can go home by myself. And besides, you should be practicing with your beyblade, the tournament is near ahead. You don't want to loose your title, riiight???" Hiromi's eyes glitters, wanting to see him beybattle again, for her he only looks cool when he's playing.
Takao just nodded, wanting to show false excitement for the upcoming event.
Then, Hiromi waved goodbye as she disappears from the view.
Cold wind rushed to Takao. Feeling loneliness again, wanting her to come back. Come back to him to fill the emptiness he's feeling inside.
He went back inside the dojo, turns off the lights, lays on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Darkness feeding his loneliness again.
What do I do now? Arrrggh! I just wish I could just get out of here! Far from everyone, far from everything…
Silence creeps through the empty room. He can't sleep, but he doesn't want to stand up either. Then, suddenly,
"Who's there!!!?" Takao bolted out of his bed and up then came running to the porch, feeling that somebody is in the house on the porch.
Then, he saw a shadowy figure, the figure looking like a man at the age of 20's, approaching Takao with no hesitation.
As the man approaches, Takao warns him, "STOP! Don't come any closer or I'll---".
"Relax, it's just me" answered the shadow.
"What?!" Takao's eyes widen as the man appears to the light. It's Hiro!
"What the hell are you doing here!?! I thought we already have talked about this?!" he asked furiously to his brother.
"No, I'm not talking about that anymore, I have more important issues to talk about." He said grimly.
"WHERE'S YOUR BEYBLADE??!!!!"
He shouted and grasped his brother's very tightly that it hurt Takao. But he didn't care, he is more angry than before. His eyes are so sharp like knives that it could cut through Takao.
"What?! What are you talking about?" he answered defiantly, not looking at his brother, trying to break away from his brother's wrathful hands.
"DON'T LIE TO ME!!! What did you do to your Dragoon!?!" Hiro shouted, still very angry.
"What?! How did you…?! I didn't…! I---" Takao can't take it anymore, his emotions overflowing, then suddenly, he break into tears, "---I'm sorry…".
Hiro's heart softens, seeing his brother cry, seeing him in pain. He had never seen him be so lonely before. He always thought that he's always a cheerful boy who you can always lean on.
Now he's the one lonely, but doesn't have anyone to lean on.
He then let loose of his brother's arm. Then suddenly, he hugged his younger brother, trying to ease his pain.
Takao was confused, for he didn't know why he would do such a thing.
Why did you hug me…?
"I don't understand what's going on with you, but you always have me, remember that". Hiro said softly while he still has Takao hugging him firmly in his arms.
Takao did not answered, he just continued to cry and savor the fact he is now lying in his brother's arms.
I haven't hugged you since last year, I guess I missed it.
"Now Takao, I really wanted to know what did you do with your beyblade." He asked, with no more anger, not hugging Takao anymore, but looking at him sincerely.
"It's not my beyblade anymore" Takao wiping his tears,
"WHAT!?! But why?! Where's your beyblade now?!" Hiro asked, restraining to be angry again.
"Kai, I gave it to Kai." the young boy answered, looking guilty.
Hiro sighed, "Well, at least we know where it is?" he said calmly, not wanting to argue with his brother anymore.
"I guess my business is done here, I'm going."
"What?! That's it?" asked Takao.
"Yeh, that's it" Hiro thought he doesn't want bother his brother anymore looking tired and weary. Although he thinks he should accompany his younger brother, he doesn't want to stay for he feels its not his house anymore. He then walks out of the house and disappeared with the darkness of the night.
"Wait—" his voice was already too late to call his brother back.
He went inside the dojo, and back to his room. Feeling exhausted from all the things that have happened that day, he jumps to bed and easily falls asleep.
-o-o-
(what really happened when Takao gives Dragoon to Kai just, the same day. )
At school, lunchbreak,
"Hey Takao! I'm goin' to do something at the computer room. See you later!", shouted Kenny as he leaves the classroom.
"Yeh sure! I'm just going to be up the roof", Takao shouted back.
Then, Takao hurries to the rooftop to have a moment of peace and quite. But then, he opens the door to see a lot of students hanging out in the place.
"I can't believe this have become student's no. 1 hang-out!" mustered to himself. "Well guess I can't drive them all away, might as well deal with it." He then goes to he usually lies down to think and sometimes, to daydream. Then,
"GET UP!!!" shouted a man in a very commanding voice that Takao jumped to his feet.
"KAI!!!" Takao, shocked at the same time flustered, "What the hell are you doing here!?!"
He looks at his friend seeing that he have grown a lot taller, more masculine and a lot more scarier than before.
"I want a match! RIGHT NOW!", Kai shouted but not in anger but in something else.
Some of the students who've noticed them shouted, "LOOK! It's Kai! And they're having a match!!" . Some of the fangirls of Kai blushed and shouted for joy. "Aahhh! It's Kai!" (with hearts and flowers in the background).
The shouts and cheers of the students annoyed Kai, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!", shouted aggressively at the students.
All of the students got scared and didn't disagree with Kai and headed straight to the exit.
In less than a minute, only the two of them are left.
"I guess it's only us now" Kai smirks.
"Yeh, I realized that. You really got quite an attitude." Takao answered back, standing straight up and looking serious.
"Let's Beyblattle, NOW!!!" Kai shouts as he shows his new beyblade, a black beyblade. From the looks of it, it doesn't have a bitbeast and and it is obvious that Dranzer is a better beyblade from his new one.
"You can't win against me with a beyblade like that. And besides, I have two beast in my beyblade, Dragoon and, your Danzer" He said calmly.
"That's why I wanna fight you! If I win, Dranzer will recognize me and return back to me!", he shouted, still holding its shooting position.
"It's that it? You should have just asked me then. And besides, I can't use Dranzer anyway", Takao smiled.
"No way! I will not take Dranzer without a fight! It wouldn't be just right!"
"Your ego's really big" Takao still smiling, "Here". Takao holds Kai's big hand, then hands down his beyblade.
"What's the meaning of this!?! What are you doing?!" Kai was perplexed of what just his opponent did.
"It's yours, I'm not joining the championships anymore", Takao smiled, then looked back and walked away.
Kai was shocked from what he have just heard… he stayed in his placed as if he was paralyzed,
You can't just walk away! You just can't! What about all the things that I have done just to fight and to defeat, just to be with you…
What?! Did I just said that? I guess it's just that I have always have you inside my head, the competition,the angst,the rush blood,the excitement,the enjoyment of beyblading with you. But now… I don't want to just beyblade with you, I want to be with you. What is this feeling?!
Damn it!!! I can't understand! I'm so confused!
Heart's pounding fast, seeing his friend walk away from him. His eyes, almost pleading to return back to him, near him, to be with him.
Is this what they called love!?! Haha! I must be paranoid! But then, I haven't loved someone before from what I can remember. Maybe it is love!... Is this love?! This feeling, always thinking of you. And when I see you I always feel weak and make me sink to my knees, which irritates me for I hate feeling weak. But at the same time feeling happy and excited 'cause I'll be with you again, our beyblattle reaching for the stars.
I'm determined! I want to find out… if this is really love…
He pockets back his black beyblade. He runs quickly towards the boy leaving, then holds Takao's left shoulder with his right hand, his left hand still holding Dragoon tightly. He looks at Takao with his sincere eyes, then suddenly…
He kissed Takao.
What!?! Why are you kissing me!?!
Takao tried to struggle but was unable to for Kai is now holding him against the wall the not being able to move.
Kai then sinks his lips even deeper, deeper that they are kissing passionately and their bodies, so close to each other that they could feel each others warmth. And Takao, he's not hesitating anymore, for he too began to like kissing Kai with his soft lips.
A mixture of thoughts and emotions in Takao's head,
Why am I doing this? This is wrong! But then again it feels good. But why, do I have feelings for you. I like you, but only as a friend. But now…
Takao kisses back to Kai,
I kinda love you…
KRIIINNNGGG!!!
Both of them almost jump to their feet, then they remembered, they're at school!!!
Kai let loose of Takao's body and lips. Takao suddenly runs away from Kai. He didn't want to talk about it, he didn't want to think about it. He just run and headed straight to the classroom.
Kai was left alone; he was mortified for he was afraid that somebody might have seen them, that what they've done was wrong. He then felt cold, wanting his body to feel Takao's again, his lips again.
He remembered, he's still holding Dragoon in his hands. He then remembered the more important issue…Is he serious about quitting?
He then leaps off the roof, with his feelings for Takao at the back of his mind.
(in Takao's class)
Why did I said I love him? Do I really love him? Is that really love that I felt, kissing him, feeling care and passion for him for the first time? Arrghhh!!! He's really something! I can't understand him at all! Maybe that's it! The reason for that feeling, I wanted to know him, to know him more, to know the real Kai. If it is it, then I may not really love him, I guess…
I don't know…
He continues to daydream as he stares at blue sky on the window,
I guess I also have to meet Hiro later…
-o-o-
Hiromi didn't came home that night.
As Takao lay peacefully into his sleep, his is unaware of the danger ahead of him.
-o-o-
OMG!!!... My story evolved into a yaoi!! I can't help it. Most of the stories in beyblade are about boy pairings, and I'm becoming one of them too. Argggh! I must restrain myself…
Nope, I'm not gonna make my whole story into a yaoi, just some parts of it 8D. And besides, I don't think I'm good at that genre, I just made it because I really want to.
Hehe..a fast update, I must be very bored with my life.
Please make a review, a suggestion, an insult. Anything! I really needed it to know how I will progress with my story.Thank you! Mwahhh!
And also, give me name, any cool name, for the next chapters.
And again, sorry for the long note. I'm desperate and slightly paranoid. 8D
