{PART FOUR: The Truth Reveals 2}

Raindrops start to pour down to the Earth's ground and in seconds, the weather changes. The magnificent yellow sky has been replaced with the presence of dark grayish clouds. Some pedestrians who are roaming the street everywhere in the town, scattered around and storms to their destination as fast as they can. Others quickly pull out the umbrellas or rain coats that they bought together, while another rushes to the nearest stores, bus stops or any building that can protect them.

"This is gonna be a heavy rain..." exclaim a business man, who is waiting for the bus.

"Well, I hope it's not so bad or we'll be stuck inside a traffic jam for hours." added his friend. People who are standing near those two, nodded silently in agreement.


She might just be the only one in the city who doesn't care about the weather, as she had been sitting at the bench even when the rain hasn't started yet. Her body, thou, are not fully soaked by the raindrops. The tall and enormous tree behind the bench protects her from those drops. People who walk pass the lonely figure, stare at her in disbelief and shoot her with a suspicious looks. What is she doing there? Didn't she know it is bad to stay in the rain? Why on earth she let the rain ruined her clothes? Questions appear in everybody's mind, but they decided to ignore it and continue their walk.

The raindrops ran down to her chin, followed by a tear. She just sit there, stare at the ground for hours and let the drop fall all over her body. She can't think of anything, as her emotions are now taking over her movement. The girl felt she has no strength left to move, or run to the bus stop in front of the park for shelter. Her body suddenly became paralyzed.

'Why?' Hiromi asked herself 'Why am I so damn foolish to fall for him at the first place?'

She grips both of her hand tightly as her emotions start to flow inside her mind. 'The moments when we're together that I'd been cherished ever since, turns into the most painful hurt that I ever felt...He'd been playing with my trust and I didn't even realize it!'

A lightning flashes through the sky and followed by the sound of thunder, as in the Mother Nature is also grieving for what had happen to her. Hiromi cover her face with her hand as the tears start to fall from her eyelid once again. 'How could you, Takao? You give me so many fake hopes and promises, until I actually got this dream to have a family with you...'

The brunette then sobs softly, causing her body to start shaking. Her emotions become unstable again, she bend down and buries her face at her legs while hugging her knees.

'I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!' the brunette shouted loudly in her heart and started to cry loudly, ignoring her surroundings.

The business man was right; it is going to be a heavy rain. The dark clouds poured the rains with greater amount than the one before and the tree behind Hiromi can't hold the raindrops anymore. So, now you can say that the Japanese girl is soaked. But still, Hiromi didn't even care about it.

As the rain poured heavily to the ground, suddenly the brunette felt like the rain had stopped falling on her. But the weird part is she can still hear the sound of the falling raindrops. Slowly, she raised her head from her legs a little bit and stared in front...

"Hiromi?" a familiar voice called out her name. Hiromi's eyes grew larger as she recognizes the voice and quickly throws her gaze at the right side of her place.

"Kai..." That was the only thing that came out from her mouth when she sees the two-toned blue haired beyblader standing beside with an umbrella in his left arm...


Hiromi grips the black, long, leather rain coat tightly and wraps it around her shivering body. 'Okay, maybe it is a bad idea sulking in the heck of the rain...' she told herself while letting out a soft sigh. Then, she throws her gaze to Kai, who is shaking his umbrella trying to get the water off from it. He then place the widely open umbrella to the ground, walk towards the bus stop bench and sat.

After Kai found her wet from the head to the tip of her toe, he dragged her (literally) to the bus stop since the rain doesn't show any sign to stop. At first, Hiromi objected and told him to leave her alone. But, she then decides to follow Kai when he said "OK." and ACTUALLY left her then start to walk towards the bus stop, causing Hiromi to be showered by the rain. Again.

No one there at the bus stop, since a bus that had just left a few minutes ago with some passenger. When they arrived at the bus stop, the brunette then start to shivers and Kai lends her his rain coat.

So now, both of them are sitting at the small building. Hiromi look away from Kai and watch how the rain fall, she don't know why she suddenly felt awkward. Kai? He just stared in front and didn't say a single word.

Well, the silence didn't last for too long when Kai suddenly look at Hiromi and ask a 'deadly' question.

"You found out the truth, didn't you?"

Hiromi stunned. Softly, she answers "What makes you think of that?"

Kai smirked. "It's not like we never met before..."

Hiromi blushed. But then, she thought of something. "Am I the only in the team who didn't know about what Takao had been doing all this time?"

A heavy sigh came out from the two-toned blue haired beyblader. "Yes, and while the rest of us were told to keep that idiot's secret..."

"So, the whole team...knew about this except me?"

Kai nodded.

Hiromi sighed. "Then...why haven't everybody even try to told me about this?" Kai look at her with his left eyebrow rose up. "Well...except you."

Kai was about to say something when suddenly a black Mercedes Benz stops in front of them. Hiromi stared at the car suspiciously, while Kai stands up and came closer to the door. The window slides down and reveals the driver, who turn out to be Kai's butler.

"Sure took your time, huh?" asked Kai.

"I'm very sorry, Master Kai." answered the butler. "The traffic was bad and there was this car accident blocking the road."

The beyblader started to say something that makes the butler glance at Hiromi for a few seconds, before continue listening to Kai. After a while, they both finished. Kai turn around and said to Hiromi that he's gonna give her a ride home. Hiromi accepted, since it is getting late.

Inside the car, the only sound came from the radio and sometimes from the butler and Kai's conversation itself. Hiromi just keep quiet at the back, while scanning around her. She never dreamed of being inside a really exclusive car like this one, she never even thought about it! But, the brunette then decide to calm down and rest. Too much things happen to her today, and she felt a gush of pain attacked her mind.

Hiromi closes her eyes and tries to not remember about anything. The leather coat is now turn into a temporary blanket, and not long after that she fall asleep...

Kai glances at the back using the mirror, and suddenly guilt start to roam his heart. 'She must be having a hard day,' he thought. Kai slowly continue looking in front.

"Shall I sent her home first, Master Kai?" asked the butler.

Kai glances at his butler, and then again with Hiromi. "You go home, I'll sent her back."

"As you wish."


Hello!
I've just got to let you know...

The ruby eyed girl slowly open her eyes and rubs her face. Then, she stared above and slowly rise from her lying position. Her eyes twitched as she look around and realizes that she is inside a car but not for long as her memory came back and explains why she is there.

'cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do

The scenery of her house greets Hiromi's sight when she look outside, trying to figure out where in the world is she. Then, she look at the car radio and smile, guessing that the song might just be the one that woke her up. A soft giggle came out from Hiromi. 'Wow, I never really imagine that Kai listened to this type of song...' she thought '...Wait, where is he anyway?'

Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?

'Oh, there he is...' Hiromi told herself when she finally notices that Kai is sitting at the driver's seat while crossing his arm and he had fall asleep. Hiromi let out a sigh of relieved, slowly thanking Kai for sending her home. A soft smile appears at her lips, when she conclude that the crimson eyed beyblader must have been waiting for her to wake up, and he didn't want to disturb the brunette's peaceful sleep after what had happened to her today. Slowly, Hiromi decided to wake him up and thank him for the ride. She was about to touch Kai's shoulder when suddenly she froze.

Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you

Her ruby eyes grew big and she gasps. 'T-this is...' Her eyes are now glued to the sleeping beyblader, with a shock look at her face. She quickly pull her hand and covers her mouth. '...the love note. Kai?' she whispers softly.

'But, I thought that...'

"You finally awake." suddenly Kai start to talk. He open his eyes and stare at Hiromi. The girl almost jumps out from the skin, but then manage to calm herself down. Still, the brunette can hear her heart beating so loud.

"Y-yeah...thanks for the ride." stammered Hiromi. She slowly shove her hand to the door and opens it. But she, one again, froze at her place and stares in front. Confusion starts to appears at her mind, and somehow that feeling has taken over her body. Kai look at the mirror, and saw that Hiromi is still sitting inside with her hand at the door. A question came to his mind.

"Something wrong?" asked Kai, causing Hiromi to jump again. The brunette quickly shook her head. "No...nothing at all. Well, good night."

Hiromi watches as Kai's car vanishes into the darkness, before she walks inside her house. The brunette closes the door, and slowly sat down. Everything is too complicated for her to understand one by one. Her mind is confused with everything that happens today. She accidentally found out about Takao's little...okay scratch that, big secret and left her in a total devastated. But, then the song played by Kai's car radio is same with what have been written in the love note she got way years ago...

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE?


Kai lay down to the grey sofa in his bedroom. He stared at the shilling above, as his thoughts are floating in the sky. He closes his eyes and put his palm at his forehead. Something is bothering him, and he doesn't know why. Maybe it's because the text message that was sent by Takao a few hours ago? Kai don't know.

Takao sent a text message to him and this is what that beyblade world champ wrote:

Dude, did you really had tried to tell her about this? If you do, that is just sick...What kind of friend who easily blows his friend's secret to the other? Anyways, thanks to you Kai, Hiromi already found out about it...

'Then by hurting a girl who is also your friend feeling is right, huh?' said Kai out loud. A smirk then appears at his lips. 'I'm not the one who you should be blaming, Takao...You did this to yourself.' Then, Hiromi's face came across his sight. He couldn't help himself by feeling guilty to her, since he sort of involve in hiding Takao's secret from her. Kai questioned himself, why the hell did he agreed with this? He silently cursed himself for doing this stupid thing...

There's something about Hiromi that caught Kai's attention ever since they first met with each other. Even though that she doesn't beyblade, but he can detect her strong will power inside her eyes, the same will power of every beyblader that he met and battle. She impressed him with her knowledge in beyblade that no one ever knew she had. Easy to say, Hiromi succeeded to amaze him with her every move.

Suddenly, Kai's phone starts to vibrate, signalling that there's someone is calling. The beyblader took out his phone and searched for the caller's name. 'Hiromi?' whispers Kai. Curious of the call, he slowly push the 'answer' button and placed it near his ear.

{...Kai?} Hiromi's voice was heard at the end of Kai's phone. Her voice sounds very slow and he can feel that she have something important to tell him.

Meanwhile in Hiromi's house, the brunette is unsure of her decision. She was afraid that something bad is going to happen after this, and she is not ready for another terrifying moment in her life. Only her heart denied what her mind was thinking and told her that if she kept quiet about the curiosity that had started to grow, she'll gonna lost the only chance to know the truth.

{Hn...} answered Kai shortly. The brunette take a deep breath and release it slowly, before she started to talk.

{Listen, I know this may sound...crazy but after facing the worst moment in my life, I...just...can't stand being in a total confusion and devastated again.} A heavy sigh was heard from Hiromi's side. {I...want you...to be honest with me, please?}

Kai's eyebrows twitched. Curiosity grew inside him, but a small part of him predict the worst that could happen to him. His heart started to beat fast, as if it was a sign...a really bad sign.

Hiromi's hands start to tremble because of the fear. 'I can do this! I need to know the truth!' chant the brunette...

{Were...you t-the one who sent m-me...that letter? T-the one that I got before I-i was kidnapped?}

A dead silent answers Hiromi's question. The brunette already expecting this to happen, and she bit her lips anxiously waiting Kai's answers. {Please answer me, Kai. I need to know the truth...Don't leave me in a total devastate about everything...}

Speechless. That's what Kai had became when Hiromi ask him that, 'cause he never had expected that the brunette will ask about that thing. He thought that she had completely forgot about it. But, he was wrong.

{Kai?} called Hiromi {...Am I right?}

Ten seconds had passed, and still no answer from Kai. Hiromi knew that he's trying to speak but something block his way. Then, he let out a soft and heavy sigh while placing his palm at his forehead. It was hard for him to admit it.

{...yes} answers the beyblader.

{...why didn't you tell me then?} asks Hiromi, tears start to form at her eyelids. {Why did you let me make the biggest mistake in my life and just watch me suffers all of this?}

{Something happens back then.}

{What happen? Is that thing was more important than me until you can't save me from making a mistake?} interrupts Hiromi. {If you arrived at the hospital and admit about this before Takao did all of this won't happen to me. I have to face with something that I always pray will not happen to me and you didn't do anything to stop me!}

Silence once again roams the space, and the only sound came from Hiromi who start to crying. The blue haired beyblader just let her cry and wait until the brunette calm herself down. After a while, guessing that she can now hear and understands everything, Kai continues.

"Can you let me explain what had happened to me, the truth about everything?"
