Chapter 16: Changing the plans
"Fine!" Madoka accepted with the same courage and confidence. But Hikaru didn't finish yet. "Let's make it more interesting... I challenge you to a Beyblade battle!" she said on the same loud voice. Madoka's lips and body suddenly started to shiver and to weaken.
"I... never played... Beyblade before..." she murmured with that terrified expression. Hikaru growled even more to her. "I'm not giving a damn! You'll find a beyblade! I don't care who played or who didn't play Beyblade before... And to make it even more interesting... You'll play with your empty-headed boyfriend's beyblade and me... I'll play with Kyoya's Rock Leone..."
Then she released Madoka. "Do you remember the place Gingka had the first battle with Kyoya? Tomorrow, at 3 p.m. If you'll not come... You'll be a dead person... You can bet." she threatened Madoka and then walked away. Hikaru didn't mind Kyoya wanted some explications. He followed her, trying to keep the pace with her, still giving it up. Of course he cannot give her his Leone.
Madoka remained here and watched them walking away with some angry eyes. She was panting because of anger, but still a discreet tear rained from her right eye, which hid between those cold raindrops.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kyoya yelled at Hikaru, who glared at him.
"Listen here, Miss Coward! Tomorrow, I'm gonna beat that nerd with your Leone, and so, I'll show you that a lion, the big, powerful and what qualities you use to enumerate, and, the king of the animals can defeat a pony!"
Then she sneered and turned around.
"And you cannot do anything to stop me..." she whispered, kinda threatening him. He suddenly tried to pull her by her wrist.
"Wait! Just... don't make me choose between you and Leone. Because... I'd choose Leone."
"What did she said?" Kenta asked in surprise. Madoka nodded with sorry that she has to give this answer.
"No, no... I cannot. I can battle instead of you, why don't you let me? And you didn't play Beyblade before... Just when you rescued Kyoya's Leone... Remember? In the battle with Yuu at Survival Battle... How will you be able to control a beyblade like Pegasus? Ah, but what annoys me is that she talked to you like that... I'd beat her if she'd not be a girl..." Gingka told his obvious opinion.
Madoka sighed while Yuu entered the room with his usual shit-eating big grin on his cute face, with some energetic steps. He was totally wet. Everyone sweat dropped, but listened to what Yuu had to say.
"Hey, guys, what's up?" Yuu asked cheerfully, then took a seat next to Madoka. "Yeah, we wanted to... Nothing." she muttered, looking away, then back at Yuu.
"Hey, Kenchi, what happened? You are so serious, guys..." Yuu asked again. Then he grinned. "Oh, you're sad, guys, because Hikaru was about to beat Madoka?" Everyone threw shocked stone looks to Yuu.
"You just called Hikaru on her real name?" they asked like they didn't hear what Yuu just said. Yuu shook his head with innocence, making everyone breathe freely. "I thought you just did." they expressed their relief.
Next day
Kyoya woke up and started to panic while his gaze met the clock. It was 3:07 p.m. He just took a nap because he didn't sleep at night. He thought about Hikaru and about yesterday. He startled and quickly stood up. Hikaru's battle was today.
He found a note on his bedroom table which he picked:
Kyoya,
I'm sorry. You can hang, shoot, kill me in tortures, make my life a hell or whatever you want, but...
I took your Leone. I'll bring your beyblade back after the battle with Madoka. I'll end it quickly. I promise.
Hikaru
"Oh, my God... Leone! No! No, no! Ah, this girl... She cannot play at the windy tower! She cannot... Leone, no!" Kyoya yelled.
Hikaru and Madoka were one in opposite of each other in the top of the windy tower, at the Beyblade arena. They were alone.
"So you came..." Hikaru said to Madoka from the left side of the arena, who nodded, having a tired, kinda weak expression of her face. "You are courageous." Hikaru continued while smirking in superiority. "But the courage isn't gonna save you!" Hikaru was trusting. Madoka lost her confidence, but Hikaru was deeply trusting she's gonna win the battle.
Then she pulled out Leone. Madoka widened her eyes. She couldn't believe Hikaru had Leone. However, she tried to hide her surprise by pulling out Pegasus with a calm attitude. Hikaru sneered and put Leone in her launcher. Madoka, too.
"Three!" Hikaru shouted.
"Two!" Madoka shouted back.
"One!" they both yelled.
"Let it rip!"
They both launched 'their' beyblades.
Now Leone and Pegasus were spinning. Well, not really. Because Hikaru and Madoka weren't their true owners, the two beyblades were jumping, shaking and weren't finding their balances. "Ah, how the hell Gingka yells to Pegasus? Ah... Find your balance, Pegasus! I'm one of the good girls! I'm his girlfriend! Trust me!" Madoka yelled desperately at the confused and 'poor' Pegasus. Hikaru growled to Leone as seeing it so weak. Of course she cannot admit weaknesses.
"C'mon, Leone! You cannot lose! You heard me? You cannot lose! You cannot be defeated by a pony!" Hikaru ordered to the emerald beyblade. Madoka didn't mind Hikaru called Pegasus 'pony'.
The beyblades hardly found their balances and started to attack each other violently. They were attacking, then retreating, then attacking again... Every time the two beyblades were meeting, they were creating sparks. "Leone, c'mon! Show this nerd who the boss is!" Hikaru yelled. Madoka looked at Hikaru, then at the beyblades. Then Pegasus moved away. Hikaru growled and chased Pegasus with Leone, attacking it from behind.
Madoka gave it up with running after some moments and also started to attack Leone with Pegasus. "Ah... C'mon, Leone! Attack more wild!" Hikaru shouted at Leone. She definitely wanted to attack wild and wild, you know... Do you remember when Kyoya came back from Wolf's Canyon and tried to destroy Saggitario and Dark Bull with his new special move? Well, Hikaru was ordering to Leone just Kyoya did in that day. Maniacally.
"Go, Pegasus!" Madoka just encouraged the blue beyblade. "Seems like the lion is just a kitten! We won't take easy on her even if she's weaker that us!" she jeered to the beyblade, but it was obvious the message was for Hikaru.
"Who are you calling 'weaker'? Let's see who's gonna be 'weaker' after I'll defeat you! C'mon, Leone, you already have forgotten your owner's famous quote? I'll never be crushed, not now or ever! You have to win for Kyoya! You heard me?" Hikaru also encouraged Leone.
"Stop it right now!" a voice yelled. The girls looked at the place the voice came from. Tsubasa. He launched Eagle on the Beyblade arena. But Leone suddenly pushed Eagle out of the arena. "Stay away, Tsubasa! It's our battle!" Hikaru reproved him and continued attacking Pegasus. Tsubasa smacked his forehead and stared desperate at the battle. Leone attacked Pegasus from behind, then from the both of sides.
The wind suddenly became wilder. 'Ah, the wind... It's not okay. It's the sign of Kyoya... He's coming... to stop me... I feel him coming... The telepathy. I feel exactly. He's... taking quick, heavy steps... worried steps... Then he runs... He has worries in his eyes... He also feels me. He feels me deeply. I'm everywhere around him and he's everywhere around me. I am there... I am shaking his thoughts... I am playing with his mind... I can decide what he thinks about... But it's a perfect chance for me...' Hikaru planned in her mind. Then she closed her eyes hear the sound of the wind. It was so deep, that Hikaru forgot for a moment about the rest of the universe. Her eyes suddenly opened, glowing in emerald green. 'It's the... telepathy... Yeah... It's you... It's more than telepathy... It's the... It's the... It's the... It's burning. Fire. Water. Wind... Fire. Water. Wind... Wind. Fire... Fire and Wind... No, no... It's not this... It's the... Wind. The Water dried. It's the feeling... It's... It's screaming... It's more than... using your beyblade or crushing this nerd... It's more than everything which uses Leone. It's not just this. It's serious. It's serious for both of us... Kyoya's spirit... I also learnt something...' Then her eyes glowed more and she suddenly shouted:
"Leone, Lion One Hundred Fang... No, no, Wild Wind... Wait, no! Use King Lion Tearing Blast!" Madoka and Tsubasa widened their eyes.
"WHAT?" they both yelled. "YOU ARE CRAZY!"
As Leone created those three tornados which weren't perfect like Kyoya's ones, but they were good enough, Leone's beast revealed itself, roaring. Hikaru laughed, but not in an evil way. She seemed to be really amused. Her body started to glow in green, too.
"I'm good! Can you believe that this is King Lion Tearing Blast? Seriously, dude... Now... Let's crush the brave and tough girl... C'mon, Leone! I wanna hear the beast inside you! Roar louder! What's the problem, Leone? I wanna hear your roar! Roar, Leone! Roar! Roar like a beast! I love the sound of destruction! Roar, roar, I wanna hear you roaring! Yeah, that's it, Leone! That's the wild beast I always dreamt at! I'm not your owner, but I always wished to feel this power... It is running wild... thought my veins... I think Kyoya feels awesome every time he uses his special move... What's the problem, Madoka? You're not so brave now... Don't you dare to give me any response to this? C'mon, punch or curse to me if you have enough courage! C'mon, use Pegasus's special move! Hah. Let's end this cause I'm going shopping this evening to celebrate crushing you. Leone! Crush he-"
But...
"Libra, Inferno Blast!" a voice suddenly yelled and Flame Libra entered the Beyblade arena.
After everything ended, the spirits calmed down, Leone's and Libra's special moves ended. The only beyblade who was still spinning was Libra; Madoka was unconscious, lain on the ground; Hikaru was gaping at the emerald green beyblade at her feet, without being able to do any movement. Libra came back to the person who used it. But, it wasn't Yuu; it was none other that Kyoya. He was panting. Running and creating Libra's Inferno Blast really exhausted him. He looked with serious eyes, but the shade of his playfulness could be seen in his eyes, at both of the girls. He was angry, but not totally. He didn't find the reason for his vague shade of happiness after that. Yuu also came running from his behind. Kyoya passed Libra to Yuu.
Hikaru started to lose her balance. Kyoya quickly run towards her and caught her in his arms when she fainted. "Stop gaping like an idiot and help me!" he yelled angrily to Tsubasa, who was still in shock. As Kyoya jolted him, he quickly ran towards him and took Hikaru in his arms. Kyoya picked up Leone, but something stopped him. Madoka. "Hey, dude, can you please, do me a favor?" Kyoya asked, waiting for an answer as quick as possible. Tsubasa nodded. "I'll take care of Hikaru. Go and pick Madoka."
Tsubasa looked questioningly but let Kyoya pick Hikaru and ran towards Madoka, lifting her up in his arms.
"Ah, you are so beautiful when you're asleep... Ah, how can I say this?"
Then Kyoya turned around to the window and looked at the scratched emerald beyblade in his hand. "Ah, I'm so sorry, Leone... I'm feeling so guilty... I'm so sorry... Will you ever forgive me? I am so weak and selfish. I disappointed you. I should've done something. I disappointed you for a... silly girl who was so naive that she was left and who doesn't even love me back. I should've avoided her from the moment I saw she doesn't have any feeling for me. And now... I'm trapped because I wasn't fast enough and I got deeper and deeper... And now I cannot reach the surface. Ah, can you forgive me? I have no idea what I should do now... I just cannot disappoint you again, but... I also... I just cannot ignore her and just this. How easy it would be for me if she'd not exist... Why do we have to complicate the things so much?"
Then he tightened Leone in his hand. He heard Hikaru moaning from behind. Kyoya quickly turned to her and took a seat next to her bed. He put Leone on the bedroom table. However, Hikaru didn't open her eyes. "Ah, no, please, no..." she babbled in her sleep. Kyoya raised an eyebrow. "Ah, please, don't go... Wait, wait... I think I love you! Wait, Kyoya, wait, please, don't-"
Then her eyes suddenly opened and she sat up. Hikaru startled as seeing Kyoya next to her, sending her a confused look. She continued panting. "Hey, babe, you okay?" Kyoya asked confusedly. Hikaru put her hand at her chest and nodded, but Kyoya's puzzled eyes annoyed her. "What?" she reproved to him. Kyoya giggled.
"Well, let's forget about the part when you said you love me and let's work on your look..."
Hikaru startled and became panicked. "Tell me, what I exactly said?" she asked with somehow a shade of fear. Kyoya put his hand on her forehead. "Hey, let's calm down, babe, you are burning and sweating. I think Leone suck your soul... Typically for Leone. Ah, it's not alright. You need to rest." Kyoya said without listening to Hikaru's worried eyes. Her look was saying much. Her eyes always hid something. Her eyes always hid everything heart never wanted to make known. Her eyes are different. Her eyes aren't expressing her heart's point of view. Her eyes had this power to express every lie naturally. Every lie of hers can be considered a truth so easily, thanks to her eyes. But, this time... her eyes were sincerely. Or they just seemed to be sincerely.
"Is Leone alright?" she asked, waiting for a quick answer. Kyoya sighed. "Well... Many scratches, but not anything too serious." he assured her, making her breathe freely. But Kyoya's voice was hiding many things, just like Hikaru's eyes. Kyoya's voice always warns her. Hikaru can read his mind. Hikaru can feel it. Kyoya's sure and determined voice is strange sometimes. It is... scaring her. Haunting her. Not very often, but sometimes it is really haunting her. Kyoya has a special air around him. He also can read her mind, but he is often trying to hold everything for himself.
Maybe Hikaru is the kind of person that you rarely see her crying. Or maybe she was before Kyoya offered her his shoulder. She started to think that maybe Kyoya is the first person that saw her crying. She started to think about what would happen if she'd start missing Kyoya one day. Well, maybe you're thinking, missing? Seriously, how can you miss someone when he or she is beside you? Well, you can. You can miss someone in this way. That's the ugliest way of missing a person. That's the way... Kyoya misses Hikaru everyday. But, Kyoya is guilty. Kyoya is guilty for everything, not Hikaru. Hikaru's unique fault is that her mother made her so beautiful. But, it's not her fault for this. It's her mother's fault. So, as a conclusion, Kyoya is guilty. Kyoya made it with his own hands. Kyoya wanted it.
Just... do not read it because it is boring. You don't have to. It's just written in my point of view. For those eccentric, crazy, with a 'drunken' mind people, just like me, and who understand my small coefficient of intelligence... Or you can read it. The last part is kinda about me. Read the first three paragraphs. Or read whatever you want. And sorry for wasting your time with those boring things. First time when I write something at the starting or ending of a chapter. I know, kinda long chapter, longer than the previously ones because I had many things to say. I'll probably start to write some things at the ending for the next chapters. You know, like a conclusion of everything. But let's end this:
So, as finishing this chapter of this stupid story I am very grateful someone reads, what can we say? I don't know. What would you write? Would you write a cheap philosophy like I do here? Let's steal less. Let's be less selfish. Let's stop thinking that she is guilty. (I'm talking about Kyoya) Nah. He's guilty. Do you know why? Because he is admitting so easy. Because he is always repeating himself 'I love her, I love her, she's so beautiful...' Because Kyoya isn't sorry about the fact he does. He isn't trying, even if it hurts. He doesn't want to try. I don't wanna try, bro! Why? Because I want so! Who are you tell me to stop? I don't want to! I like living with his regret, I like feeling my heart pounding in my chest every time I see her. Wait, wait, dude... What do you mean by you like? I mean what I mean. I'm not airy. I like it. Do you have any problem with it? I wanna live a stupid mawkish Indian drama! None of your business anyway!
Wait, wait, dude... Let's stop. Who are you? Are you God? Well, no! Oh, you pretend, that's another thing. Can't you understand you're not God? If you can understand that you cannot come here, do whatever you want and...
Ah, forget everything I wrote there... I think I'm bit tipsy. There was a good day at school, like every day. You know... we are a problem class. I love this... It's late and I'm so tired with this school and anyway... Again: Are you God? Wake up, dude. God is also sleeping sometimes. God is also taking care of another people. He cannot always take care of you, to help you forgetting about your problems with girls and etc., etc. Let's stop trusting God.
Ah, anyway, I know that's the first time when I talk. I'm Aquarius so I'm eccentric. Anyway, kisses and lots of love for everyone... See you next time with my false theories about life and politics. Just joking with politics. I know just a little something about politics and sometimes I write at school on the blackboard that the president should leave or sometimes I have the desire to write on the walls of the school even if my parents would beat me or whatever would happen... Don't forget you mustn't copy Kyoya's behavior and especially do not copy mine. I'm crazy. I also need a psychiatrist. People always tell me this. I also think I should be a psychiatrist in the future because I think I kinda can understand those people with those diseases. I hate monotony, so my classmates are always saying I'm crazy. I think at the moment why I ended chapter 16 and Kyoya and Hikaru didn't even kiss one time. That's why I call my story 'stupid'. Long and boring.
I always talk about things I shouldn't. Like politics... and the fact that I think our school is ridiculous. Did you heard in your country about a special week at school where we are doing funny activities like watching movies, and cutting-pasting paper flowers on another paper flowers instead of normal classes even if we aren't eight years old anymore? Well, no. I guess. I am poor. You have no idea. I feel like an idiot everyday.
And, sorry if I also said some nonsense or if I have grammatical wrong spells, mistakes etc. I think sometimes I write 'she' instead of 'he' or 'him' instead of 'her' and etc. etc., but no matter now. Too lazy to check again. And sorry again for wasting your time with my ridiculous opinions. I'm just grateful that you have read... Have a nice day. Don't forget, do not copy my behavior. And I think everyone thinks about me that I want just to impress everyone, well, no, you're wrong. I'm not hypocrite. That's me.
