Legendary High School
I Own Nothing!
Chapter 7: The First Match
A couple weeks had pasted and today's the day we faced Galaxies High.
"Hasama-san?" King asks. "Ready?"
"I'm the sub. I don't have to be, remember?" Hikaru smirks before turning to look at Kyoya. "But I will be cheering on Kyoya-Kun."
"Be ready." Kyoya says without looking. Hikaru nods and finishes getting ready.
"Weirdo." King mutters before talking to Masamune.
"Guys. We got the line-up." Madoka calls as she and Benkei enter.
"Really?! Who's first?"
"King, Masamune, Kyoya." Benkei reads off before going back and adding honorifics and last names.
"See. I don't need to be ready." Hikaru mutters as she passes by. Suddenly, King puts his hand over his mouth and runs to the bathroom.
"King!" Masamune run after him and Kyoya follows. The girls plus Benkei wait.
"Mado-Kun." Masamune comes out for a minute. "Tell Coach King can't go out. Hikaru, you're up."
"EH?!" Both girls exclaim.
"I knew he shouldn't have eaten that." Masamune sighs. Madoka runs to get Coach.
Half an hour later, King's in the Nurse's Office, laying down and Hikaru's up for battle.
"That brat better appreciate this." She mutters as she pulls out her bey, Aquario.
"Good luck, Hikaru." Madoka tries. She receives a glare in return and Hikaru goes out.
"And from Legendary High School, it's Hasama Hikaru-Chan. The waterific beauty!" Hikaru's eyes become stars as she gets to wave to the crowd.
"That's her favorite thing, isn't it?" Masamune crosses his arms. Madoka nods and walks back to Benkei.
"Madoka." Kyoya pokes his head in, his face full of concern.
"What's up?"
"Good, everyone's here. Has anyone else seen Hagane?"
"Hagane? Redhead?" Masamune turns.
"Yeah. Have anyone seen him? They said he signed in."
"Oh, who is this?!" The DJ's voice calls their attention. They gather and watch.
"Um, Sir, who are you?" He calls down. The guy looks up and smiles.
Ryuga.
Madoka recognizes him in a second.
"Kyo..." She stops when she sees his face. Rage and shock capture it perfectly.
"Hey, you can't be out here." Hikaru calls to him. "Where's the guy from Galaxies?"
Ryuga grins creepily and snaps his fingers. Two guys dressed in DNA uniforms bring out two others. One of the boys from Galaxies High.
"GINGKA!" Benkei shouts as he notices the second boy. He's beaten badly and is unconscious. Madoka holds back tears and covers her mouth.
"This is DNA! DARK NEBULA ACADEMY! If any of you feel that you can take us, feel free. But first, here's what happens if you challenge us!" Ryuga aims his bey at Hikaru.
"NO!" Kyoya screams. Masamune and Kyoya both jump the wall and race towards Hikaru. Ryuga cackles and rips. Hikaru's scream echoes through the stadium as the bey lets out a beam of purple fire at her. Benkei pulls Madoka close and turns his back to the explosion. Everything shakes and Madoka closes her eyes.
When the light fades, Hikaru is nowhere to be seen. Kyoya and Masamune are unconscious. Most of the crowd is uninjured but Ryuga and DNA students are gone. Gingka and the other boy lay on the ground.
"Hikaru!" Madoka breaks free from Benkei's grip and rushes to find the bluette. Benkei runs to Masamune and the others.
"I told you, didn't I?" Madoka looks up and sees Tendo, Yu. He sits atop a broken piece of stadium, kicking his legs back and forth.
"Tendo-Kun!"
"I told you we would see you soon." Yu cackles. "Have fun, Madoka-Chan." Yu jumps up in the air and disappears.
Madoka waves over someone to help her get Hikaru to safety.
Benkei walks Madoka home. Kyoya and Masamune were to spend the night and Gingka and Hikaru…they had no idea when they would wake.
"Hey, it'll be okay." Benkei tries a smile.
"Yeah…"
"We still have…KING!" Benkei claps his hands and laughs. "We have King so we don't…have..to..wor…" he trails off.
Suddenly, Madoka's cell rings. She opens it slowly and answers.
"Hello?"
"Madoka?"
"Who's this?" She stops and looks at Benkei. His face turns serious.
"Duh, who else?! Zeo. Masamune's friend?!"
"ZEO…kun."
"What's with that –kun?!" He yells. Madoka smiles slightly.
"We heard what happened." Another voice says.
"Toby!"
"No –kun for him?"
"How are they?"
"We don't know." Madoka sighs. "The doctors said they were keeping Kyoya-Kun and Masamune-Senpai till tomorrow."
"We tried the hospital but they won't let us speak to them. After hours or something like that?"
"Yeah, it's pretty late here."
"We'll call again sometime to check up? Send us something about them, okay?"
"I'll have Masamune-Senpai call you when he's allowed."
"Thanks. Night, Madoka."
"Goodnight." She and Benkei continue home in silence.
As they arrive at Madoka's house, Benkei finally asks.
"Who was that?"
"Masamune-Senpai spent a couple years in America as a kid. Those were his American friends, Toby and Zeo-kun. They all would bey battle each other and remained really close, even after Masamune-senpai came back."
"That's nice." Benkei smiles. He hugs Madoka. "Be safe."
"You too." Madoka walks inside, talks to her parents briefly and goes to her room. She changes into her Pjs: A old tee-shirt and shorts with her long socks. She sneaks down to her workshop and gets on the computer. A bey sits beside her, waiting to be finished.
Two hours later
Madoka rubs her eyes with fatigue. She yawns and turns off the laptop. She wasn't going to get any more information tonight. Might as well get some sleep.
I told you we'd see you again.
Yu's voice echoes in her head as she pads over to the small couch her father put down there. She snatches a blanket and curls up, using her arm to cradle her head. She sighs and slowly closes her eyes.
"Ne Ne, Tsubaka." Yu whines as he kicks his legs back and forth. His feet dangle off the building carelessly. "Why are we here so late?"
"Tsubasa." The third member of DNA's team sighs. "I was assigned here. You can go home anytime."
"Really?!" Yu jumps up. "Ah, thanks." He folds his hands behind his head, elbows piercing the air. "See ya."
Tsubasa takes a knee as Yu leaves the rooftop. He lowers his binocular and stares at the building's basement window. He raises them again. If he angles the lenses just right, he can see the sleeping girl on the couch. He moves and tries to see the computer screen.
Oops…she left one on.
Tsubasa lowers them once more. She was researching them. His profile was the one up. Otori, Tsubasa. He chuckles and stands.
Amano, Madoka. Things were just about to get interesting.
*pops out with confetti explosion* BAN! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! No, just kidding. *giggles* Anyway, I do have something.
See, I found out why I missed a week in June for an update. I did write it…*rubs back of head and sheepishly chuckles* I just forgot to post it. I found this out when I referenced back to said chapter in this one. So you get TWO chapters this week! The real chapter five (Now the real chapter 6 will make sense) and this chapter! YAY!
Anyway, like my friend, MK, said in her story. I've been swamped lately and dealing with some personal issues. But it's okay now. I have some awesome friends who helped me and God.
So, next update is two weeks. Just about the time my sister gets married and school starts. I'm going to be a senior. Or in Japan a third- year! YATTA! =P Until next time, Bai Bai.
