Summary

Ginga hasn't shoed up since some long time, his fiends have to take the decision of going on a trip without him. What happens to Koma village when his protector Hyoma is seriously ill? He is supposed to stay in bed all day long but he has suddenly disappeared. The secret entrance of Koma must be kept safe, who can guard it while this whole mess is up? They most gather to search him in the forest and fast, now that the rain has started and nothing could get their friend worst. "It is a childish fear Tsubasa…" says Hyoma with his eyes full of sadness.

Abril: Hi there! As you can see my name is Abril, this is the first story I publish of beyblade. Now let me explain something… Hyoma is my favourite character of all beyblade (The thing is I haven't even finish the series, I've only seen some episodes of him and some little stuff of others) and I knew that if I wrote this fic in my mother language no one would read it -.- so that is why I'm writing it in English.

I'm not a goddess of grammar and spelling so there will probably be a lot of mistakes… sorry. Also because I haven't really seen the series the characters may be off… off well character, please correct any OC'ness that they may have please.

So, with no further interruptions from myself… the story.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"I can't wait to tell Ginga about our trip! He is going to be so exited!" Madoka said enthusiastically, holding the straps of the small bag in her back.

"Yeah, me neither!" Agreed little Kenta. "The weird thing is that we were the ones who had the idea and not him… He is usually the one who likes to do all this stuff." He added thoughtful.

"Well, is not like we've seen him very often these days." Tsubasa said nonchalantly with his eyes close.

"Maybe he is just busy." Suggested Yu with a hopeful smile.

"Yeah, maybe. But that wouldn't explain why he hasn't answered his phone for the last week or so." Kyoya said coldly, making everyone's hopes from high as the sky to lie down on the floor.

Yes… it was true that they hadn't seen their friend is some unusually long time. Generally it was Ginga who searched every day for them in hope to spend some good time. So without another word, the seven bladers headed to their friend's home, in hopes of finding him right away.

At their arrival, they where welcomed with something quite unexpected, to be more specific… a taped note on the door.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Hey guy's!

You're probably wondering where am I and why am I leaving

a note, sorry about that… Well, the reason is that I had no time to

tell you I have to attend some important business that could not wait.

I'm not sure of how long this is going to take,

so don't expect me to return any time soon.

Sincerely, your friend. Ginga.

P.S: If you are wondering why I this note is

directed only to you, it's because no one else would

come to my house… anyway, see you!

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Important business?" Said Hikaru puzzled. "What kind of business could a person like Ginga have?" She questioned with a frown. "Apart from blading that is."

"That must be the reason why he can't answer his phone…" Concluded Kenta quite obviously.

"Guess… we'll have to make the trip with out him… as weird as that may sound." Madoka said uncomfortably and a bit uncertain about the situation.

"Well is not like we need him!" Lied Benkei with the high pride of his as the feeling of abandonment grew inside him.

"You don't have to act that way Benkei. I mean… is not like he could prevent it or something." Defended the small kid of green hair their missing friend.

"I was really looking forward to telling him." Added the brunet sadly. "Imagine how a trip to his home village and the chance of seeing his childhood best friend again would've get him."

"High as hell I suppose." Said Hikaru lazily.

"But! We aren't going to cancel the trip just because Ginga is not coming with us, are we?!" Asked Yu, afraid the answer would be a dreadful 'yes'. Long had he hoped for this day to come and no way was he going to miss it.

"Of course we're not, little brat!" Shouted Benkei, still angry about the things that hadn't gone exactly as planed. "We are going to train in those stupid stadiums of that forest, Ginga or no Ginga!" And with that last statement he headed to the way he 'thought' the train to Koma village was.

"He… sure is sensitive…" Said Yu stunned by his actions. Everyone nodding in a agreeing way. Kyoya sighted a bit annoyed, so he decided to interfere before he deviated too much of their path.

"Benkei, the train station to Koma village is the other way…"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Now, sitting on the train, halfway to the forest of Koma, they all sat silently in their places of two seats each, just waiting for someone to say something. Although it was a rather comfortable silence, no one had said a thing since they hoped aboard, enjoying the peacefulness of the moment.

From the windows they could see a beautiful scene: long and wild green fields of tall dry grass, endless clear blue sky's, birds and animals that passed by from time to time.

"Tell me Tsubasa…" Said Yu, who was sitting beside him, eyes glowing with childish happiness "How is the green emerald stadium they all talk about?"

"I really don't know. Haven't seen it for myself." He took his eyes off the window to look at the blond and give him all his attention.

"And you Hikaru?" He asked hopeful, looking to the sit across from theirs.

"Me neither Yu, sorry." She said with her crossed arms.

"Oh…"

"We've seen it and it really is wonderful!" Interfered Madoka, to cheer the boy up, who was sitting beside the girl of ocean blue locks.

"Yeah, she's right! It kind of glows when you look at it." Said Kentra from the sit in front of Yu's.

"It's called, Green Hades, like the Greek god of the underworld." She added intelligently.

"But… I heard from Ginga that the last time they fought in it, it broke from Pegasis attack force…" Said the Aquarius girl.

"Yup! That is going to be the new challenge." Answered Madoka. "Because in the fight between Hyoma and Ginga, even though the stadium had cracked, they kept their brawl regardless if it was harder to do so and nearly impossible. Think of how much that could increment your abilities!"

"Remember that is not the only challenge! There are also a lot of ways to train in Koma forest!" Added Benkei, shooting his fist to the air, sitting by Kenta's side.

"Sounds like fun." Said Hikaru with a grin.

"Yeah!" Shouted Yu with enthusiasm, standing over his sit. "I'm going to beat you all, of that you can be sure!" Declared the little one with confidence, falling off his place as the train speeded. Every one laughed or grinned at the antics of the child. "Hey! It's not funny! Don't laugh!" He rubbed his head to calm the sight pain.

"You should be more careful of where you are standing." Said Tsubasa with a friendly smile.

"Do you think will see Hyoma when we get there?" Asked Madoka.

"Of course we will." Said Kyoya, not so happy about the fact. "We won't be able to get to Koma village if he doesn't show up…" His arms where crossed and was the only blader who didn't have a sit companion.

"What do you mean?" Asked Tsubasa a bit puzzled.

"He is the responsible of guarding Koma entrance from people how are not worthy of going in." Said Kenta as a mater of fact.

"We had a so-not-good time the first time we faced him." Benkei said, frowning at the memory of his lose.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

The time passed by as they talked and talked till the train finally stopped. It was a small and modest station made of wood; it had a shed where an old man with grey hair and a funny moustache was standing sleepily, the boards of the floor creaked with each step they gave.

"Have we arrived to Koma?!" Asked the small eager blond as they where getting off the train.

"Actually… this is just half way up to Koma." Answered Kenta, scratching his head with shyness.

"WHAT?!" Shouted Yu and Hikaru, both dropping their bags.

"What do you mean by half way." Questioned the stunned Aquarius.

"You see… the train just takes us halfway up to the mountain where the village is, nothing more can take us there so we have to walk the rest of the road."

"And hope we find the right path…" Murmured Kyoya.

"What do you mean with 'hope' to find the right path?" Asked Tsubasa, the only one that had heard him.

"HOPE!?" The other two shouted again.

"Well… there really are lots of paths in the mountain… most just get you to go in circles…" Said Kenta.

"This is so not cool…" Said the depressed girl.

"You can say that again." Agreed Yu.

"Oh, come on!" Encouraged Madoka "It won't take us that long, really. It goes quite fast cause our surroundings are beautiful and… it's really nice." She ended, unsure of what to say but with a smile on her face.

"If you say so…" Respond Hikaru and Yu with a big amount of depression visible over their bodies.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

The birds where singing sweet melodies as the group was slowly passing by the still trees; all shades and colours of green could be seen in their leaves. Two long hours had gone by since they got off the train, they where not really tired but hungry and some of them bored. Although no one said it, they all had a weird feeling, like… if some one was watching them amongst the trees.

"Must be Hyoma and his creepy stalkish job." Thought Kyoya, with an odd feeling crawling up his spine. "But… it can't be him… Last time we were here non of us had been able to notice him even once… we couldn't so because of his cautiousness and skill." He let some long minutes pass, waiting for someone or something to come out of it's hiding place. They kept silently walking, the feeling of being watch was still there, the Leo fighter had expected to be something or a feeling that would just go away as time went on… but it didn't "Enough!" With out another despered thought he split from the group in the direction of some bushes, the ones that were giving him the creepiest of feelings.

"Where are you going?" Asked Tsubasa with out getting an answer.

"Got you!" He said pulling of someone's red hair out of the bush "Ginga?" Confusion.

"GINGA!" Surprise. Everyone shouted at the same time.

"Hey! That hurts, let go!" Kyoya relished his hair, letting his so called friend to hit the unforgiving floor.

"Ginga?!" Said the one of the green ponytail, angry smoke practically coming out from his ears.

"Hehe… hi guy's…"

This needed some serious explanation and it was needed now.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Abril: Well… I hope it wasn't that horrible. Hyoma will appear in the next chapter don't you worry. So, well… I'm open to suggestions and corrections… also to insults too… but don't be very harsh.

Tell me if you're interested in the continuation. :) Bye, bye then.
