Disclaimer: I'm NOT the owner or creator of Beyblade. I mean I would try to make Kai's dad look a bit better...just a bit. If the story was mine. Which it is not.
But this story is and so are my own characters that add to the plot.
Warning: at the moment this is just the first chapter, very light very doodaa doodaa. But as chapters progress, so do the swearing, the moods, and the amount of BL and YAOI I feed this story.
Clearing Confusion in advance: This story is more based on the manga than the other one, so if you are confused at times, please just tell me and I'll help you.
So name wise:
Takao- Tyson
Hiro- Hitoshi
Byakko- the white tiger
Seiryu- the blue dragon
Genbu- the black turtle/snake thing
Suzaku- the fire bird (it's not neccesarily a pheonix exactly)
Author's Note: my first pairing that got me into BL and Yaoi. KARE! But yeah my second fic here. This story is totally inspired by a dream I had but I was the bully and I had no feelings for the victim...but the male bully. WEIRD? YES
also it is inspired by Big Bang's second album Remember (specially the tracks Bulgeon Noeul, Wonderful, Oh ah Oh, Foolish Love.) Dedicated to Seheri and Lidders
Fight for Him
Chapter one: You and I
"What did you say you freak?" he hissed into my ear. Well technically not hissed as it sounds very snake-like and there was the fact that everyone could hear what he was saying and understand it. Which I must say is very annoying. Not like being cornered into a corner isn't annoying already. And it happened to be by a guy that's only a couple centimetres taller than you at the most. I mean talk about a totally derogatory situation. And it's supposedly my fault that I fell into this situation too. But at least his breath didn't reek or anything, which I can't say for the group he chose to hang out with. I mean just looking at him and I know he's the kind of person that oozes of an ugly prince-complex. Just look at that Rolex watch on his arm and a glinting stud in his ear. Total rich, tough boy, this one. But his friends look like a jolly bunch picked off the streets. Not cool enough to be Yakuza and too lame to be Yankees*.
"Didn't you hear him you shithead?" One of the boys in the back asked. Now I must say that must be one of the most hypocritical things anyone has ever told me. I mean I think I am as far from shit head as this guy trying to kill me. I mean that dude looks so ugly it makes my toes curl. Shit head much?
"Hear what?" I replied with a croaky voice. It doesn't help when this rich strangler man has his arm against your neck and his entire body is pretty much pressing you against a wall. If I was a woman, this would totally be sexual harassment because of where his knee was. And I think he must have heard me in my head because right then, he pressed his arm against my neck even harder which caused me to see lights in my vision and he raised his knee higher. Someone is a bit too close to my little me.
"Look Kon—" he knows me? "—when you're on my turf, you really should follow my rules." Hasn't anybody told you that yet? He should have said that next because that line is so out of the movies. "And I don't like boys like you."
"I don't like boys either," I replied, which I shouldn't have said but I mean come on, this boy was asking for it. It was worth seeing his crimson eyes glaze over with malice, malice, what an awesome word. His face flushed bright pink and I couldn't help but laugh at the pretty sight. "But if you keep doing this, I might just start liking you here," I said, eying his arm and boy didn't that hit a spot in his homophobic brain as he quickly let me go. It was all I needed too.
I pushed him as hard as I could and leaped off the stacked mats and then jumped down in front of the door. Remind me never to enter a storage room when looking for a washroom. Unsurprisingly, it took a while for his dimwitted followers to realize I had run off but as they were about to chase me I could hear his voice bark at them, telling them not to. Damn right, no one messes with this China man.
"Rei-chan! You're going to be late on your first day!" I turned around to see Hitoshi or Kinomiya-sensei, the student-teacher that brought me to this specialized school. I smiled at him and waved before running indoors and slipping off my shoes to wear those stupid slippers. When I straightened up again, I felt a tingle in my back and turned around to see the strangling, rich boss from before glare at me. This time he had no sissy posse with him, it was him in all his manlitude. Manly attitude.
"Hiwatari Kai," he said, not smiling a bit. I knew he was introducing himself, ignoring the "hi my name is…" part altogether, but I needed to humour myself here.
"Nope not my name," I said shrugging as I grabbed my bag and read the slip of paper that told me where my class was.
The nerve of him, the nerve of that new guy. It was infuriating. He stumbles into my hangout and has the guts to ask around for the washroom, as if we were part of some school information booth. And since when the hell are there outdoor washrooms in a school institution? This isn't the countryside, farmer boy.
There is something so weird about him too. I mean he has these scary golden eyes. Like honey or amber or clarified ear wax or something. And then his canine teeth are a bit raised and pointier than most people. It's like he was some weird cat man or something. But I have to give him credit for his fast moves, I didn't realize fully what happened until he went "na na na na na, assholes!" in front of the door and ran off.
And now? Now that ass just totally refused to reply to me. Or tell me his name. Not because I want to be friends or anything, I just find out what class he was in so I could bash his face in. All I knew was that his last or first name was Kon because Kinomiya's brother called him by that yesterday when that dickhead came to register.
"Head to class, all of you head to class!" The old librarian said as she forced us all into the school hallways and into our classes, and for me right into 12-B, my homeroom. The teacher wasn't there yet and the room hushed as I walked in. I scanned briefly over everyone until my eyes targeted onto my usual window seat. Where a bag sat. I glanced at the person beside the bag and was mildly shocked, angered, and surprised to see Cat Kon boy there. He laid his head down on his desk and it seemed he was sleeping.
"I'm sorry Hiwatari-sama, I told him that the spot was reserved but he didn't care and said it was the only spot left." An ugly kid said to me. I'm really not used to the Japanese honorifics system, but hell, it's nice to be treated like a king.
"Whatever," I muttered as I sauntered over, yes sauntered to my table. I could feel the entire class' eyes on me as I reached over the table to grab Kon's bag and then I casually hung it over his head to drop it but as I was about to let go his arms grabbed onto mine and he looked straight into my eyes.
"Please and thank you never killed anyone I know of yet," he said while smiling as he reached into his bag and took out a cookie. I thought for a second that he was going to give to me until he rammed it into his mouth. I dropped the bag and it landed with a thud on his table instead of on his head.
"Hiwatari-kun sit down would you?" The bitch of a teacher snapped as she walked in. Seriously, this school had boys mostly; I don't see the need of a female teacher at all. But I sat down all the same and proceeded to close my eyes as the bell rang and she called the roll. Seriously, she could just kind of look over us and see who was here and who wasn't instead of doing this.
"Hiwatari, Kai?" She asked although she's the one who told me to sit down. I raised my arm up lazily. She called more names but still I heard no Kon in there. Maybe that was a pet name or something. Like he was probably some intimate friend with the older Kinomiya. Fortunately though after she was done, she took out a pink slip of paper. "We have a new student today, Kon Rei?" She asked. Rei, oh so that's his name. This Rei looked up and smiled.
"That's me," he said.
"Could you come up and say a few words?" she asked sweetly. Which is so not the way she talks to the rest of us. Rei stood up and walked over, avoiding the legs people stuck out without even looking down. When he reached the front he turned around and beamed at us as if he had bucket of sunshine hidden in his pocket or something.
"I'm Rei, Kon Rei. I joined this school through mainland China. This is my first time in Japan," he said. He knew, he knew that everyone was waiting for the reason he actually came to this school but he didn't say a word. Well until someone asked.
"WHATCHA HERE FOR?" Previous ugly boy's friend asked. Rei smiled as if he pitied this dumb ass.
"A holy spirit beast. Like some of you," he said looking around, missing my stealthy hand that inched towards his bag.
"WHICH ONE?" Dumb ass asked again. Rei just smiled again and turned to the teacher, she motioned him to sit down and Rei did so. It was after he sat that he spoke.
"The Byakko." The room was so silent I couldn't even bite into the cookie I took from his bag without everyone hearing. Then suddenly the entire room burst into laughter, as everyone looked at Rei as if he was some poor idiot.
"Dude, try again!" One of the boys on the other side of the room said. Rei looked at them, confused.
"Wait, wait…what the hell? Wait…" Yet no one paid attention. "Shut up." He said in a calm and cool voice. I don't know how everyone heard, but they did and they all did shut up. I believe the title for being able to do that to a group of people was mine, Kon.
"What the hell is funny about the Byakko? He's one of the holy four, so how dare you disrespect him?" Rei asked. His eyes were shining much more brightly as he glared at them all.
"Oh no, we love the Byakko. We're laughing at you," the dumb ass from before said.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because the Byakko is the only one not discovered. Or at least there were reports it was found around the same time the Seiryu was but that's dated recently," the teacher said calmly as she studied Rei with an amused grin.
"So maybe it really was found," Rei replied, looking straight at her. "If you know so much miss, could you tell me where it was discovered?" The students gasped at the open challenge Rei held. But I was happy. I mean now she's going to treat him the way she treats us. The bitch cleared her throat and looked straight at Rei.
"In mainland China, nearby a tribal village," she said in an in-your-face way.
"Do you remember anything about the tribe?" he asked, leaning back. He turned to look at me and then his eyes flicked down at my shirt, I looked down too. There were cookie crumbs on my tie. Fuck.
"Well, they do look very different. They have golden-amber eyes if I remember. Slightly pointed ears and raised canine teeth." I stared at Rei and he stared right back at me. He lips curved into a slow smile as I looked at his ears and then his lips and slowly into his eyes.
"THEY'RE CAT PEOPLE?" One boy yelled. The teacher rolled her eyes at him.
"They're humans with incredible ability and their sole purpose is to wait for the Byakko to rise which it will when all four beasts join together in battle. The strongest of the tribe is the one to harness its power. But to think they received the power of Byakko already. Without telling the world."
"Quit saying Byakko, his name is Drigger," Rei said.
Bitch, total royal know-it-all bitch. I wish I could say that out loud to her. In fact everyone in this class sucked out loud. Well besides this Kai here. At least he never laughed and that was probably because he was busy eating my food or maybe he actually did realize that I really did have Drigger. But everyone else? The biggest group of idiots under one roof. Yet the class shut up again as they stared at me. And then Kai finally decided to speak up.
"We'll find out soon anyway, right? They're doing fitness and compatibility tests this week and our class goes today." He said shrugging, eying my bag. It was such a simple answer yet the class held his words of wisdom highly as the teacher nodding and began the lesson, but not before she dropped a real annoying bomb.
"That's great then. Kai, would you please show Rei around school today?" she asked. I prayed and pleaded for Kai to say no and everyone else looked at him.
"Hn," he said as he shrugged again as he looked out of the window. The room fell into a deadly silence that felt suffocating as I felt looks filled with hate directed right towards me. What now? I wondered as I stared at Kai. Was everyone gay for this boy or something, besides those four girls in that corner?
It was like he knew I was looking at him because his arm stretched out and on his hand I saw writing in crude letters, give me another cookie asshole. I reached into my bag and took one out, licking both sides before giving it to him. I knew he felt the wetness and he turned just slightly so I could see him eat it. He glanced at me sideways and smirked. Pig, he was such a pig.
The bell rang after three painful classes with everyone just staring at me once in a while. I looked once in a while at Kai but he still kept looking outside. As for me? I didn't get a bit of learning done at all. So when the bell rang for the next class I stood up immediately. The fitness tests were going to happen but before I could run out Kai grabbed onto the strap of my bag and sat me down again. "I'm supposed to show you around cat freak."
He stood up slowly and handed me his books which I was so tempted to drop had it not been for the fact that the teacher was looking. He then pushed me onwards to the door with the entire class following with their eyes. He kept pushing me along and people in the hallways stared at me like I was some sort of magical dunce or something. It pissed me off. Unable to take it anymore, I turned around dumped the books on Kai's foot and marched of, damned if I'm late, who cares?
"Hey, Kon-san, KON-SAAAN! WAIT UP!" I heard a voice yell and I turned around to see a quite tanned boy around my height but maybe shorter running towards me. He had boring brown eyes but a bluish tinge in his black hair. His face looked familiar but I couldn't put a finger on it. When he caught up, I saw the other boy behind him and I was surprised to see a quite American looking boy there. He had blonde hair and blue eyes too, I mean how typical. And it was no surprise to see freckles dusting his nose. What surprised me was that they both looked at me eagerly.
"Um…hi?" I said, not sure of what else to say. The black haired boy stepped up first and held out his hand.
"I'm Kinomiya Takao and this is Mizuhara Max, you might know my brother…Hitoshi?" I brightened at the name, of course I knew Hitoshi!
"Yeah, great to meet you!" I said shaking my hands with him, I looked at Max and smiled at him too. "You too."
"Rumor from your class has it that you have the Byakko. Is it true though?" Max asked in a hushed tone. I nodded.
"What's wrong with that?" I asked.
"Nothing wrong, it's just kind of exhilarating to think that all four of the holy beasts are in the same place," Takao said, his eyes gleaming. But I found this to be news.
"The other three beasts are here too?" I asked in surprise. Max nodded.
"I have the Genbu, Takao has the Seiryu and Hiwatari-sama has the Suzaku," Max said, chirping happily. Cool…all four of us in one roof. What, Hiwatari-sama was that bastard wasn't he?
"Kai? Kai? Kai has the Suzaku, what's he doing with the-I mean how could he be-I mean why?" I was flustered, how could a pure shitter like him could have one of the holy four? And the fire bird too? I bet he bought it and forced it to accept him or something.
"Seems like you're awfully close to him, so how come you don't know that?" Takao asked smugly. Close…me close to him? Then I understood, stupid Japanese honorifics, just because I forgot to add a stupid word they think I'm some close friend of his. But before I could correct them, I felt an arm snake itself around my shoulders, and when I glanced down, that blinding Rolex watch shone at me. Shit.
"Of course we're close." I heard his voice say, though more to me than them. "We're best friends now after all. Right…Rei?" He said, and although I couldn't see his face I could picture that smarmy smile. Ass wipe.
"Uh, eh…well."
