Chapter 13: Ite

"Hello guys!" a familiar voice rang as a small green haired boy entered B-Pit.

"Kenta!" Gingka cheered in joy as he leaped forward and embraced his dearest friend that he made in Metal City. Oh, how long has it been since they last saw each other. "How have you been?"

"I have been doing great, until..." Kenta said as he turned back as an older teen entered. He was about Gingkas height, and had long amber yellow hair that reached his neck, with three braids, one blue, one red and one white, hanging from his left side of his hair. He wore black glasses, and wore an orange t-shirt with a metal grey thin jacket over it, and straw yellow jeans. One very recognizable feature on him was that his right eye was a very bright clear yellow, while the left one was blue. "This is my Sagittario in human form, Ite!" Kenta introduced the silent blond teen.

"...nice to meet you all..." he bowed a little after looking at Gingka and the others who were in the store. Or, maybe examining them as a more correct word.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Kenta said as he smiled wryly at Gingka and Madoka. "Congrats, you two! I knew it was only a matter of time!"

Realizing soon what he was talking about, Gingka and Madoka blushed extremly while everyone else laughed (save Tenma).

"...We are not a couple Kenta..." Madoka managed to say in her extreme embarresment.

"Huh?" Kenta was extremly surprised. "But then, who?" Kenta said before he noticed a white haired fair girl standing next to Gingka. "Oh, so then you must be his new girlfriend! My name is Kenta Yumiya, nice to meet you!" Kenta greeted the pretty girl.

"Kenta, she is not my girlfriend either. And her name is Tenma Amanogawa, the spirit of my pegasis," Gingka explained, somewhat used to people mistaking her for his girlfriend.

"Nice to meet you!" Tenma greeted, while hiding her depression over what Gingka said.

"Huh? But Mr. Hagane told that Gingka had gotten a girlfriend..."

"... MR. HAGANE!?" Gingka and Madoka asked in unison, before hellish rage filled them as their faces turned demonic, looking at Mr. Hagane, who felt the bloodlust and was now standing there in fear. "WHY I OUGHTA!" they screamed as they leaped towards Ryusei who fled.

"...*giggle*!"

Just then, a small laugh was heard, and when Tenma and Kenta turned to Ite, he was smiling warmly and giggled at the sight of Gingka and Madoka running after Ryusei.

"Anyways, why dont you come on out and meet everyone else?" Gingka asked as he lead Kenta and Ite outside where everyone else were gathered.

"Kenchiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Yuu screamed his lungs out as he sprang and crashed into Kenta, with Ite silently looking at them with awkwardnes. "I have missed you so muuuuuch!" Yuu screamed as he laughed on his last word.

"Ok ok, I get it! Now get off me!" Kenta laughed at how ridicullous this situation was.

Ite, who was still looking at the two kids with awkwardness, directed his attention towards all the other people who were gathered at the lawn. They all looked so different, and they were all laughing together, something which made Ite smile a bit.

"Hey there..."

"...!" Suddenly, a guys voice rang behing him, and when he looked behind, he saw a tanned shirtless guy with blue hair standing behind him, his blue eyes half shut, as if he was tying to score with a girl. Wait, WHAT!?

"Your are certainly a new face. Why dont we get 'acquianted'? he said as he closed in, while Ite worlessly backed away, surprised and shocked that he would be the target of another guy.

"...Mizugameza?" Hikaru questioned, and when Mizuga prepared to get attacked, he was surprised Hikaru just stood there. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to score with her, what else?" Mizugameza openly admited, while Ite became even more freaked out.

"So he WAS trying to score with me!" he thought. "Wait, 'her'?"

"Um, Mizu, thats a GUY," Madoka said, hiding her laughter.

"Hahaha, nice one, but that aint gonna work!" Mizu laughed, but when he saw Hikarus and Madokas serious faces (altough Madoka was almost bursting out with laughter) Mizugameza soon turned pale and looked at the creeped out Ite.

"...yes, im a guy if thats wat you were wondering," Ite said in voice that confirmed his gender. Immedietly, Mizugameza backed away and looked with terror at Ite.

"But-but," Mizugameza stammered, "BUT YOU LOOK ALMOST NOTHING LIK A GUY!" he screamed as he pointed at Ite, who's confidence in his own masculinity dropped like a rock, and turned pale with shock.

"...nothing... like a boy?" he muttered, in shock, while Tenma smirked at Mizugameza who sweated in panic.

"Huh, you do look cute enough to resemble a girl..." Shishiza said with a grin as she looked at Ite's face, which made his cheecks become faintly red.

"Dont think you are allowed to date nee-sama or anything, you are to weak for that, and if you do, im gonna bury you six feet in the ground," Ushiza warned as he made a face to tell Ite to back off.

"Ignoring the rascal, you would do yourself a favor of keeping away from lady Shishiza," Haroeris said in calm, polite manner, but you could tell from his eyes that he didnt want Ite to think that he got any chance with his mistress.

Ite, surprised by their actions, let out one small giggle. The BBQ was under way, and everyone was partying loudly, while some of the spirits greeted their new companion.

"The name is Washiza, and this here is Tenbin," Washiza introduced herself and Tenbin to Kenta, while Yuu was impatiently dragging at Tenbin wanting to go and play some pranks (which did not involve exploding waterbottles, its never gonna be done by the group again).

"Hello, Im Kenta!" he introduced himself. "So, you're the spirit of Aquilla? Are you perphaps, Tsubasa's..."

"Wife? Oh no no..." Washiza giggled while Yuu looked in disgust.

"...I wasnt gonna ask that, but good to know," Kenta answered with mild surprise.

Meanwhile, Ite was holding a plate of beef and chicken and other delicious meat of deliciousness, leaning against the wall and looked at everyone having fun. Just seeing other people enjoy themselves was enough to make himself smile just a little bit. He had hard timetrying to socialize with people, but he still ejoyed their company, altough he mostly prefers solitude.

"Are you having fun?" Tenma approached as she stuffed her mouth with delicious, jucy meat... while Ite was mildly surprised, but nonetheless, happy that someone came and talked and gave a warm smile.

"...yeah..." he answered as he took a bite out of kentucky fried chicken (so delicious...)

"But, wouldnt it be more fun to talk with all the others?"

"...I prefer to mostly be alone, but, I do enjoy company..." Ite said serenly, but with a stoic face. He looked at Tenma, who looked back at him like he said something weird.

"So you're fine with just being around them? Not trying to be friends or anything?" Tenma asked. Ite was surprised by her question, and became mildly irritated. But, soon he just closed his eyes and chuckled. "...Thats a rather good question..." He then smiled at her, while Tenma was surprised and didn't know how to respond, and soon awkwardness filled the atmosphere.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE YELLOW HAIRED RUNT!?" Ushiza loudly screamed while blushing, while Tenbin and Yuu danced around him.

"Ushiza got a sister-complex! Ushiza got a sister-complex!" Tenbin and Yuu chanted as they danced around an embaressed Ushiza, who soon lost his temper and performed swift and powerful combos who hit the air and the ground between himself and them, but it never hit them.

"Im gonna beat you guys up so hard it will count as a fatality!" Ushiza screamed as he continued to perform amazing combos as he chased a loudly screaming Yuu and Tenbin.

While everyone else laughed, Shishiza looked in stoic amazement. "Ushiza was unusually calm at that point."

"Yeah. Normally, he would instantly attack them the moment they teased him. But he didnt attack them at once at all. Maybe he is growing, that rascal?" Haroeris added, being just as amazed as Shihiza at Ushiza's strange patience.

"I doubt he hesitated becuase he is growing up," Kyoya said as he looked at the three kids without any expression, and just as Shishiza was gonna hug him while shouting "Kyoya-kun", he stopped her by putting deliciously fried pork in her mouth.

Tenma was laughing sporadically at the scene that was playine in front of her. "Pfhahahaha!" she laughed at hos Ushiza wildly attacked his surrounding, all while glowing red, while Yuu and Tenbin ran away in amused fear. She then noticed how Ite was bending forward, holding his hand that was not holding the plate of delicious meat in front of his mouth. While he contained most of it, he couldnt hold back his laughter, and began to laugh too at the three kids.

"Pfhaha... hahahhahaha!" he continued to chuckle as he has never done before.

After the BBQ, everyone headed home before it started drizzling, forcing Kenta and Ite to stay over for the night.

"Im sorry for the inconvenience..." Ite apologized.

"Oh dont worry about it! You can stay here for as long as you like! Altough Its only for one night!" Madoka explained. "By the way, would you two like to take a shower?"

Upone hearing the suggestion, Kenta felt his head starting to itch, and when he scratched it he found a lot of black stuff under his finger nails. Ite also began to feel unfresh. "That would help a lot, thanks."

After taking a long shower and putting their dirty clothes in the washing machine, everyone changed to their pyjamas sans Gingka who alwys seemed to sleep in his regular clothes.

"Aren't you gonna change clothes Gingka?" Tenma asked as she had already changed to a long sleeved white t-shirt and short white pants, both with blue polka dots, which she burrowed from Madoka.

"Nah, I prefer to sleep in this!" Gingka said as he only took of his jacket.

"Doesn't that get increadiby uncomfortable?" Madoka asked with a disturbed face. She was herself wearing a buttoned pink shirt with pink shorts as well.

"Pff, pyjamas are for babies! Thats why I always sleep in my regular clothes!"

"Even after a long day of training?" Madoka asked which Gingka replied with a nod. "Thats almost disgusting."

"Goodnight guys!" Kenta appeared as he carried his and Ite's bags. He was wearing a white wollen undershirt and black shorts.

"Good night Kenta," Madoka said. "Btw, what are you carrying?"

"Mine and Ite's luggage. We forgot them downstairs and Ite fell quickly asleep, so Im carrying them up because I forgot some stuff in here. Well, goodnight!" Kenta said as he walked away, but stopped when he heard something falling to the ground. looking down, he saw a brown leather book, which didnt belong to him.

"Hm? Did you drop something?" Gingka asked as he entered the hallway, with Tenma and Madoka behind him. "Your diary?" Gingka asked when he picked up the book.

"No, maybe its Ite's?" Kenta suggested, as it would make some sense. He remember he once heard in school that most anti-social and silent people writes diaries. And anti-social and silent seemd to fit Ite rather well from their journeys together.

He then became shocked when Gingka opened the book and began reading it together with Tenma. "Hey, you shouldn't read other peoples diaries!"

"Dont worry, im not gonna read the ENTIRE thing," Gingka reassured. "Beside, I want to know him better. I dont think we got to know him much today, so we are sure to know him better by reading this!" Gingka insisted, compelling Madok to wanna read it.

Kenta was about to say back, but in fact, he didn't know so much about Ite himself. After a second of silence, he shrugged and went to their side to read of the 'dairy'. "Im sorry Ite, but Im actually curious!"

Blood red. As I look up to the twilight sky, the pure white clouds have been coloured in a shade of blood red, and paints the deep blue sky. The sun is setting, and a yellow horizon is encircled in an electric blue circle, with the red clouds scatterd over the sky. When I see this grand evening sky, I think Im lookin at a beautiful portrait. This is beautiful. Its beauty in its purest form, something artists only could wish to create. Seeing this makes glad that Im alive, and Ill be glad to see this beautiful scenery many times again. This make me glad that I became a human...

"...that was rather deep," Gingka stated, surprised as the rest of the group. Since it didnt contain any personal information, they continued to read.

The sky is grey... normally, I would frown over its so bleakness, but now I realize that these days aren't bad at all. The blazing sun that always make me sweat a river or two isn't showing in the sky to cast its heat, but now a thick layer of water is covering the sky, and the grey clouds are cooling me down as I walk on the road. The wind is blowing and feels refreshing, and I can feel my spirit refreshed and renewed as I continue on...

"Wow... he is a pretty good writer!" Madoka said as she held the book closer and re-red the pages.

"But we dont actually now much more about him, other than he is a pretty deep guy," Gingka said as he flipped the page.

I find myself awake and unable to close my eyes as I find myself leaning against the wall with my sheet up to my face, giving me warmth. I look outside the window, and remember that rainy yesterday when we boarded the plane to Tokyo. Above a grey and rainy roof lies a white endless palace with its blue ceiling high in the air, unchanged since the earths existance. Right now, that same palace is dyed in a beautiful scarlet red, with a yellow ord slowly rising over the horizon. The sky is dyed with both red and blue, creating a beautful scenery that no artist could ever create in a life time. If this is what I get to see so ridicilously early in the morning, then I wouldnt mind changing my inner clock...

My travelling companion is sleeping soundly beside me. He was so excited when we boarded the plane, but now he is resting quietly... The sun shines a bit on his face, colouring his white skin red. He is almost cute when he is asleep...

At that line, Kenta froze and stopped reading, while Gingka looked at the line with big pupils, while the girls slightly blushed.

"Well, goodnight then..." Kenta said as he walked away to his temporary bedroom, forgettig the book and the luggage. Meanwhile, the other three kept on reading.

The B-Pit. Metal City. This is when Kenta changed. So much time has passed since then, but I can till clearly remember when Kenta was just a pathetic noob. But then Gingka Hagane came along, and became his friend and role-model. Kenta has grown so much, and I am forever grateful to you, Hagane.

We enter the little store where his friends are gathered. Inside, a boy with garnet spikey hair and golder eyes and a girl marron hair and blue eyes greet us. I remember them. The boy is Hagane, and the girl is Amano Madoka, our friend who is a bey-mechanic and their mother figure...-

"M-mother figure?" Madoka blushed in happy embarresment, while Gingka and Tenma looked at her with their own weird expressions.

With them is another girl I recognize, but whom I have never met in person. The girl with white-blue hair and eyes as dark as the nightsky is Tenma, the spirit of Haganes Pegsis.

"Why does he call me 'Hagane'? And why does hewrite in present tense? I dont remember him writing anything when we first met!"

"Shhh, quiet!" Madoka and Tenma solded.

Altough we have clashed as bey before many times, this is the first time I have seen her face to face. I must say, she is rather cute, more so than any other girl me and Kenta has seen on our travels so far. What a shame though, that she is already taken by Hagane...

This time, Tenma becomes blood red, and fall to the ground on her knees, unable to think properly. "He thinks I-Im... c...cu... c-ute!?"

"...appearently you have never had a guy call you 'cute' before..." Madoka looked at the nerve wreck.

"Hm? So have had guys call you 'cute' before?" Gingka asked surprised.

"Hm? Uh... well..." Madoka scratched her back and stuck out her tounge in embaressment.

When we enter the lawn behind the B-Pit, I can see all the others have already gathered. Among the faces I recognize, I see some new faces, yet I can remember who they are.

Suddenly, a males voice speaks behind me, and when turn around I recognize him as Mizugameza, Storm Aquario. I remember a long time ago when I got continuously beaten by him.

...that was rather embarassing to los to HIM.

Suddenly, he starts flirting with me as if he was looking for a date. This surprises me greatly, since I thought h was only intersted in young girls, but I didnt think he would be interested in men to!

... he mistook me for a girl? Wait ...I look almost nothing like a boy? Wow... I have heard from other women we have met during our travels that I looked cute, but... this is the first time someone says I dont look masculine at all.

...it makes me depressed somewhat.

"Well, he does look feminine, but I could easily tell that he was a guy!" Madoka said. "Right?"

"Y-yeah..." Gingka said nervously as he did wonder if Ite was a guy or a girl.

The party went on well. Shishiza and her group approached me after the Mizugameza incident, and they did agree that I looked very feminine.

...that makes me just sad.

Most of the spirits were very different from what I have imagined them. Shishiza is a strong lioness as I would have imagined, but to my surprise she is a girl with very, VERY, revealing clothes. Also, you kinda lose all your respect for her when she gets in 'fangirl mode' as I will call it, whenever Tategami is around. Ushiza is rather skinny, but still rather violent as a bull should be. Maye if you took away his red clothes he would calm down...

Im surprised to find Tenma being a girl, but as long as she is cute, Im ok with it. Plus, she is a rather nice person and fun to be around with.

Amano is a rather cute girl too. Kind, clever, likeable and fun to socialize with. Its rather sad that she too is taken by Hagane already, like Tenma.

...I think I hate him somewhat.

Tenma and Madoka stood there silently, blushing, and re-read that line a few times, while Gingka felt a bit scared that Ite thought so about him.

"...we should probably stop reading this..." Madoka said, with Tenma agreeing, an put the book back in the bag which was not Kenta's and went back to sleep.

BSPCP

Name: Ite

Beyblade: Flash Sagittario 230 WD

Gender: Male

Age(looks like): 15-16

Height: 164 cm

Weight: 68 kg

Hair Colour: Amber yellow, with three handmade braids each uniquely coloured after the american flag

Eye Colour: Heterochromia: his right eye is yellow and the left is blue.

Clothing: Orange t-shirt, metal grey jacket, yellow jeans and orange seakers. Healso wear black glasses, as he is nearsighted.

Likes: Socializing, solitude, evening strolls and writing about things he has experienced.

Hates: Annoying people, and people who talk to much.

Personality: A rather silent teen who observes rather then interact. He doesn't speak unless spoken too, and can thus be considered a lone wolf by people. While he is somewhat of a lonewolf, he does enjoy talking with other people (especially if its a cute girl). He is calm and is yet to be seen panicking, and responds either in mild surprise or in great shock. He is also rather sensitive over the fact that he doesn't look so masculine, and his confidence was greatly shot down when Mizugameza mistook him for a girl. Yet, he is still rather calm about it. He isn't afraind of admiting openly what he feels about people and things, and can sometimes be rater rude or just seem to not care what others might think of him. He writes about events as if he was a main chracter in a light novel, but whenever he writes, he always does it in present tense, so sometimes it doesnt make much sense or people wonder when he managed to write it. He is a philosopher, and forms art out of the things he sees.

A funny story: at first, I had NO idea of how I was gonna give him a character or what kind of character he would have. I BADLY tried to ask you readers for help at one point.

However, one evening when I strolled down the neighbourhood, the sun was setting and the clouds were beautfully red. And when I formed my own little poems, I suddenly got an idea for a persona for sagittario! So you could say that he is somewhat inspired by myself, excluding some parts. Plus that Im a sagittarius myself^^.

Out of all the spirits, I consider him the most 'normal'.

I hope you enjoyed this!

Like and review!

(This fic is soon one year old!)
