First thing first, which is an apology.
I'm truly sorry for that hiatus, and I even promised I would post the second chapter the week after the first... *sighs* Well, better late than never, right? But seriously, I'm not the kind of writer who will update frequently and regularly, so if you only read fics from those kind of writer, don't read mine...or wait until they are completed, because I'll really update them when I have inspiration...and my periods of inspiration are really sporadic.
Okay! Now it's clear with my update tendency, let's go to the important stuff about this fic! First, I still don't have any idea where I want this story to go. I posted it on impulse and, as much as the original idea is a good one, an idea still stay an idea. I don't really have a plot...alright, maybe I do, but it's a plot with many problems. And the fact that I had to go on hiatus after the first chapter can tell you how many problems there are (even if the plot wasn't the only thing that caused the hiatus)...Okay next thing!
The POV won't always be from Takao. I'll stick with the same POV for the whole chapter and it won't change, but it maybe will from chapter to chapter. Because, seriously? I don't think I would survive if I have to write from Takao POV to the end...If you want I can tell you from whose POV the chapter will be at the start of a chapter in the author note. Another thing is the chapters' lentgh. I think each chapter will be as short as the first and second one (around 1000 to 2000 words). I just can't make them longer it seems. And I will maybe change the title, but I'm not sure.
So that's all. Sorry again for the really really really late update.
Warning : AU, shounen-ai, KaixTakao (and others I still haven't decided), swearing...I think that's all.
Disclaimer : I don't own Beyblade or its charcters or anything of its likeness. I only own the plot-not-really-a-plot of this story.
I hope you enjoy! ^^
My Moonlight
Chapter 2
"WHAT THE FUCK!.?"
I continued to shout as I jumped out of my bed. "Who the hell are you!.? What the fuck are you doing here!.? How did you even get in!.? Where's the wolf!.? I swear to Dragoon that if you dare to try anything, I'm gonna-"
He put his hand on my mouth to shut me.
He wasn't smirking anymore. Actually, he looked annoyed...If it wouldn't be for his hand, I would be smirking for ticking him off.
"I am not going to do anything. I'm just going to explain some things." He glared at me. "So will you be able to shut this damn mouth of your?" he added growling.
Strangely, I believed him...But that didn't make him less of a bastard.
I narrowed my eyes, but I didn't speak as he removed his hand. I was sitting on the floor while he was on the bed...My bed. The bastard. He better speaks soon or else...
I closed my eyes. Okay, Takao. Calm down. Breath in...Breath out...In...Out...Don't kill him useless he tries anything...Or else you'll be accused of murder. I opened my eyes.
Now that I calmed down and that I stopped questioning and threatening him, I could take a better look at him.
The first things I noticed were his eyes and his hair. His eyes were red and his hair had two colours, grey at the front and dark blue at the back. His skin was pale and he had two blue triangles on each cheek. And he was wearing leather...Like only leather. Black leather pant and fingerless gloves, brown leather sleeveless jacket and brown leather boots. I'm sure even his red dog collar is in leather and...What the...
Is that...Ears?...No, I mean, everyone has ears. I know that, alright. What I mean is...Well, he has like two fluffy ears on his head that look like a wolf's...Wow! It looks so real! It looks like they could move!
I stared at them for a few minutes. And without knowing it, I got up from the floor and my hand reached for an ear. Before I even touched it, it twitched. I pulled my hand back as soon as it did. I stared a them incredulously.
"You're a Tamer," he suddenly said, snapping me out of my trance.
I blinked a few times. I totally forgot about him...Wait. He said I was a what?
"What?"
"You're a Tamer."
"...What?"
"You are a Tamer."
"...Come again?"
Yeah, really smart Takao. Making him repeat the same sentence again and again is so going to help you understand what he's talking about..
"You. Are. A. Tamer." He didn't said that in a annoyed tone, but more in one that was reserved to a kid who was learning a new word. You know, that tone that says 'repeat after me'...If I wasn't so confused, I would sooo kick his ass.
I stared at him for some minutes, totally clueless at what he was saying before he heaved a sigh. He then muttered something about "stupid Tamer". I blinked a few times before what I heard sank in my head. But when I opened my mouth to respond to his insult, something caught my attention. It was those ears again.
My hand reached for an ear again. When it twitched, I stopped, but didn't pull back. I grabbed, tugged a little on the ear and then rubbed it.
Nope. Not fake at all. My attention turned back to the stranger when I heard him say something.
"I'm going to bite you." And it was the only warning I had before he did just that.
xX~°¤°~Xx
I jolted upward from my bed, sweating and panting. My hand immediately flew to between my neck and shoulder, where that freak bit me. I quickly scanned my room. Nothing was off. Some clothes on the floor, books and sheets scattered on my desk and the most important: no freak around! Thanks Dragoon! It was only a dream! No, screw that. It was a freaking nightmare!
Who breaks in someone's room just to tell them some stupid things like "You're a Tamer." and then bite them? Clad in leather and wearing some kind of animal ears! It's just plain weird and freaky...
All of sudden, I had the feeling someone was staring at me. I turned my head so fast that I'm surprised my neck didn't snap.
"Oh! It's you," I said to the wolf before me. He was sitting on the floor near my bed.
I sighed in relief, before smiling to him. "You'll never know what I dreamed about. It was so weird...Especially 'cause there was a weirdo." I muttered the last part, more to myself than to him.
I told him all about my nightmare. You know what? Animals are the best listeners in the world. Try to confide some secrets to your pets sometimes if you have one. It helps. And it doesn't bother them. Like now. Wolfie just stared at me during the whole thing. He didn't seem to mind...He just seemed bored.
When I finished, something came into my mind again. "You don't have a name." I took his medal in my hand, playing with it while I hoped no one would pop out of nowhere... "How about Kai?"
The guy in my drea- nightmare got on my nerves, sure, but that doesn't mean the name he proposed was bad...Oh, Dragoon. I'm talking about him as if he existed. Help me!
Then something caught my attention. Eh? Did...Did I just see a wolf nods? "You like it?"
He moved his head again.
Wow! He really nodded! "So Kai it is!" I grinned, still playing with his medal.
...His medal?...His medal! A map!
"I must find a map!" I shouted.
I scrambled out of my bed...To kiss the floor as soon as I tried to stand up.
I growled.
Stupid covers! Wrapping around my legs while I'm sleeping! I swear sometimes those things are alive and are trying to eat me in my sleep and kill when I wake up...
Right. I'm also sure you don't think I'm normal anymore right? (if you thought I was normal to begin with of course) And just to who I'm talking/thinking to? It's not like I'm in some kind of movie or book where I'm telling million of people my life through a stupid internal monologue!..Right?
And I was thinking of men eater assassin covers at the beginning? I've got a shorter attention span than I thought...
I heard soft sounds of steps getting near me to come to a stop just before me. I stared up and saw two red orbs holding some amusement staring down at me.
I laughed lightly. "Well, I'm not in bed anymore, am I?"
I got up and went to find the map I wanted. I stopped at the door frame to look over my shoulder. I looked in two crimson eyes that didn't stop to observe my every moves. I smiled.
"I'll be right back so don't move from that spot. Got it? We wouldn't want to have you wear a leash like a dog, right?"
With that said I went to the next room. But not before seeing something.
Did he just...? Nah ! That's impossible...But Kai did nod before and I must say he isn't a normal wolf...Humm, he is a still a wolf though, but still...
I could have swear I saw Kai roll his eyes...
xX~°¤°~Xx
Looks like I've got to buy a leash this week, but right now, it's not important at all. What's important right now is...
"No. Way."
A sigh could be heard over the phone. "Takao, that's the tenth time you're saying that," Kyoujyu said. "And before you even try to continue, no, I'm not kidding. And yes, I checked my data more than twice, so yes, this is the truth. The nearest emplacement I found is in a town in the South...A few villages from here...four villages from here to be exact..."
I slapped my face with my unoccupied hand and groaned.
And before you ask where is the damn map, I must tell you that Kyoujyu is waaaayyy better than any map...Okay, I actually couldn't find the map and had to resort to phone him. Asking Gramps where the maps we have are isn't an option. He disappeared somewhere for a kendo convention, or at least, that's what the note he left said...Don't ask. I didn't even know those conventions existed...
"So...You're telling me if I want to go there, I've got to walk at least-"
I didn't say anything else as my instincts kicked in and I jumped away from where I was. As soon as I did, a blur of white crashed with a loud 'BAM' at my previous place. But before I could see my attacker, they were already gone.
...Well, not really gone. I can still fell their presence. Which is just creepy. It's like I'm prey to some kind of predator ready to jump on me to eat me...okay, that came out so wrong somehow...
"Takao? What was that?"
A 'thump' was heard behind me, and as soon as I heard it some light steps' sound followed. It was really faint, but I could hear it.
"Did you trip on your manga again? How many times do I have to tell you to-"
"Kyouju," I said slowly turning around. "I'll call you back later, okay buddy?"
My eyes locked with two golden slit eyes.
"I've got a guest."
I ended the call and that was the last thing I could do before a black stripped white tiger jumped to attack.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed! I'm sorry if you saw grammar or speilling mistakes, I edited this chapter before, but I added some things today. And I really don't have time to edit it now, so I'll return to this chapter some time next week to re-read it, cuz this week I've got too much to do. Like right now.
Anyway. Bye! Sorry again for the late update and the freaking long author note!
