Legendary High School

I OWN NOTHIN'!

Chapter 13: Pinned

Gingka sits with his elbows on his knees. His eyes are downcast and he takes a deep breath. In his hand dangles his bey launcher and his beyblade rests in his hand.

He wheezes for breath. He looks up and stares straight at the stars. He reaches upward.

"You okay?" Kyoya takes a seat beside him and offers a water.

"Senpai…were you watching?"

"Aa." Kyoya looks up and smiles. "You weren't bad, kid."

They sit in silence for a minute before Kyoya pats Gingka's shoulder. "Come on. We gotta get home." He stands and waits a second, drawing the still-sitting Gingka's attention. "Meet me here tomorrow at 5."

"AM?!"

"Yep." Kyoya leaves without another word and Gingka is left to wonder what Kyoya wants to do at 5 am.

Gingka stands and smiles. Well, he'd just have to find out tomorrow morning…wouldn't he? He checks his phone. "EH?!" He screeches. How was it already 10?! He grabs his stuff in a rush and runs home. If he was meeting Kyoya…he was gonna need to sleep first…

A snore echoes through the room as the redhead flips onto his stomach. His snot bubble grows and shrinks with his breathing. Suddenly it pops and he opens his eyes slowly. He looks around for the clock and he freezes…

6 am…

He falls out of bed and crawls over to the clock. "No no nonononononono!" He screams and runs around getting dressed.

He hops out the door, still slipping his shoes on and with his toast hanging out of his mouth. He pats his side, checking for Pegasus and his launcher, before taking his toast out and sprinting for school.

Gingka chomps down on his toast and skids inside the school gate at 6:30. He runs to the back and falls to his knees in front of Kyoya and Masamune. Masamune looks down at his with raised eyebrows while Kyoya smirks.

"You forgot, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry!" Gingka bows before looking up. Masamune chuckles and taps the corner of his mouth. Gingka blinks and wipes off the crumbs.

"It's fine. We still have another hour." Kyoya says, bending down to pick up his bey.

"Is that Leone?" Gingka had heard about it from Madoka. It was supposed to be an amazing bey! Leone was a defense type but fought like an attack type. The lion bey could control tornado type winds and summon up to five tornados at once.

He looked over and saw Striker, Masamune's bey. The unicorn bey seemed like a girlie bey but it was super strong. Striker was able to focus all its power in one strike and take down a bey like that. The bey itself was an attack type with a sweet fusion wheel. The fusion wheel had all these little bumps, increasing damage.

"Um, Kohai…" Masamune waves his hand in front of Gingka. The redhead sits on the ground, just staring at the beys. "He's doing what Mado-Kun does." The two senpais chuckle before Masamune pats Gingka's head.

The boy blinks and looks up. "Yeah?"

"Let's get going. Launch your bey and start."

Gingka blinks and stands. "Launch my bey? What are we doing?"

"Basics, the stuff you've been doing with King?" Kyoya takes a strong stance and launches Leone. The bey rips through the air and comes to spin a few feet in front of Kyoya.

"Oh." Gingka stands and prepares Pegasus with a saddened face.

"What?" Masamune smiles and puts his hands on his hips. "Did you think we were gonna do something cool?"

"Well, yeah!"

"Look." Kyoya walks over and puts his hand on Gingka's shoulder. "Even the top guys have to practice the basics. It's all about bonding with your bey." He looks down at Pegasus. "If you and your bey can't trust each other or don't have a good relationship…then how do you expect to battle?" Kyoya runs off with Leone and leaves the others.

"Kyoya's right. That's why Coach starts you off with that simple stupid stuff? Because you have to trust your bey and it has to trust you back." Masamune rips Striker and smiles, jogging in place. "Well, come on. Since Kyoya left, I gotta show you the path!"

Gingka smiles and launches Pegasus. The bey spins back towards his side and the two boys and beys start their run.

As the run progresses through the nearby forest, rain begins to pour on them. They continue running, Masamune cursing the rain. The small sunlight they had from the sunrise was gone. Masamune flips on a small flashlight and holds it in front of them. After a while, Masamune stops. "Wait."

"What?" Gingka continues to jog in place with Pegasus zooming around his feet.

Masamune runs his fingers through the cut in the nearby tree. "Kyoya marked this. He's saying turn back. Striker!" The bey hops back into his hand and Masamune turns around and relaunches. "Take us back." Striker starts back for the school.

"But, Senpai!" Gingka looks between him and the path. "It looks fine."

"Kyoya knows what he's doing!" Masamune shouts, already fifteen feet away. "If he says it's too dangerous then we need to turn back. Also, the rain isn't good for the beys!"

"But…" Gingka looks over at the path again and sees a flash of green with the lightning illuminating the forest. "It's Tategami-Senpai!" Masamune sees it too and shouts Kyoya's name. Gingka continues forward, despite Masamune's protests.

As the redhead boy continues forward, he clings to trees for support. He moves forward slowly, as the mud tries to send him on his butt. He finally reaches Kyoya, who lays on the ground unconscious. Leone lays, mud-coated and stopped, next to him. Gingka pockets Leone and grabs Kyoya's leg.

"WAIT!" Gingka looks back and see Masamune making his way towards them. He holds out a flashlight on the two and that's when Gingka sees it. Kyoya's legs are pinned by a fallen tree.

"Kadoya-Senpai!" Gingka yells and points to Kyoya's legs. The older student grits his teeth and continues.

"Kohai! Watch your footing~!" Gingka looks back and about ten feet behind him is the cliff they had been following. He gulps and nods.

Masamune runs scenarios in his head. The way Kyoya's laying indicates that he went a different way after marking the tree, except he got caught in a mudslide or something. Kyoya's legs are closer to the cliff than Masamune would've liked, meaning there was a chance of him going over. The river below would've killed them…even more so at the rate it was going now.

Gingka starts to move closer to Kyoya's leg and slips, grabbing onto the log. "GINGKA!" The rain continues to pour, making this only harder. Masamune was still a good 10 feet away and wouldn't be able to get to Gingka in time. Suddenly, a hand grabs Gingka's belt.

The two gasp as Kyoya struggles to hold Gingka up. "Hurry up and get up here!" Gingka's knees and feet claw at the ground for a foothold. Masamune gets to Kyoya's head and reaches for Gingka's hand. "Gingka!"

Suddenly, a red flash zips by. Everything slows as they all stop breathing. Masamune falls to the side and off the cliff. Gingka watches as his senpai falls and the river splashes with his body.

"MASAMUNE!"
