New title readers! Wish Upon the Moon is now the name of this fic so don't forget it! Write it somewhere or something!

Okay, so I wanted to post this chappy on my birthday (as well as this fic's birthday's), but I couldn't finish it in time so...yeah. Anyway, I finished high school and I'm off to college next year (well, in some month later I mean) so I had to do all my final exams. I was in THE big final exams period you know?

Anyway, I'll make it short. Sorry again to not have updated on May and...and...I don't have anything else to say. *shrug* Be happy. I'm a blabbering idiot when I write.

Warning : AU, shounen-ai (later on), swearing...Oh! And maybe OOCness...

Disclaimer : I do not own Beyblade or its characters or its likeness. I only own the plot, which still isn't complete, of this story.

Sorry for whatever mistakes you'll see! Not sure if I've already told you, but I'm not a native speaker of English...though I'm sure many already guessed that...

Oh! And the POV is still at the 3rd person! And be easy on me, I love fighting scenes, but I never tried to write one so...yeah. Albeit short, it's still a freaking fighting scene. So be nice to fighting-scene-beginner-writer-me. *nod*

Read & Enjoy! ^^

Wish Upon the Moon

Chapter 4

Sounds of weapons' clashing resonated through the mostly empty dojo.

A sword for one and claws and teeth for the other, both side were dodging and blocking the other with everything they had. Often, it leads to the two males to jump back before charging again at each other with full strength.

Despite what seemed to only be a fight relying on brute strength, it was deeper than that. They stared in their opponent's eyes while still clashing, trying to measure the other's strength. Neither wanting to back off, they clashed again and again, each clash stronger than the last.

The tiger was snarling and growling at the human. The teen wasn't scared at all though, glaring and growling back with the same intensity.

They refused to give up.

They jumped away from each other again. The tiger stomped on the wooden floor with his paws when he landed, puffing his chest with his head held high and still snarling as if to say he was superior and that no one should defy him. Takao's glare became darker in response.

The bluette was already tense and ready to counter attack anytime if needed. And though he didn't look that much affected by the provocation, he was fuming inside. Yet, he didn't move. Neither did the white feline.

The only sound that could be heard was the wind blowing, but even then it was soft and nearly inaudible. Silence and pressure reigned in the dojo and the tension was palpable.

Suddenly, the two fighters leaned and took a step forward.

And then they began.

The tiger was actually the one who made the first move. Before the other could blink, the white feline was sprinting toward him at a lighting speed, easily closing the distance between them. In less than one second, he was already next to the teen.

Before Takao could do anything, the beast struck.

A fast as lightning, he afflicted multiple injuries by clawing along with a few bites.

The midnight haired teen reacted some seconds later. He suddenly crouched down and, taking his sheath and blocking the claws it, he somehow got behind his opponent. He held his katana up, about to slash, but then a blow to his stomach made him retreat. He rolled back, distancing himself from the feline.

Takao stopped and landed on a knee, his other leg up to his chest while he held his sheath on his side and his blade in front of him.

The tiger could see the damage he had done in that short lapse of time.

The teen wasn't panting, but he was breathing heavily. He sported some scratches on his face, red from the blood and the same could be said for his clothes, torn and red at some places. Yet, it didn't seem the human was gravely injured. It looked more like the tiredness was on the mental side.

'Must be the Area.' the feline thought.

They stared at each other eyes again like at the start of their confrontation, both of them wary of the other.

Then Takao suddenly had a gleam in his eyes. "You seriously just kicked me with your back legs? What are you? A horse? Or maybe a cow?" he asked on a teasing tone, grinning but still tense.

The striped beast chuckled inwardly at the obvious attempt of provocation and then his eyes glinted as he realized something.

'A knock out battle this time, eh? Looks like you are out of luck, human.'

"You're fast." Takao's voice pulled him out of his thought. "I'll give you that, but..." The grin slowly grew into a smirk. "You're not the only one who is."

Then the bluette disappeared.

All the beast's senses went wild. The teen was still there. He could feel it. But he couldn't pinpoint where and that alone was enough to trigger a faint feeling of panic in him.

Suddenly, he was under a storm of slashes and hits.

Takao was hitting him with his katana and sheath, moving around him to deliver blows everywhere on the body and to avoid the claws that were trying to grab him. Soon, the white fur was striped in red along with the black. The human held up his blade, ready to finish him.

'Like I'll let you!'

The tiger let out a low growl and the blue eyed teen instantly brought his arms and weapon in front of him, shielding himself from the paw thrown his way.

The beast took steps toward his opponent, growling again before roaring at him.

Takao's sight wavered slightly and a numb feeling crawled over his whole body. He grunted and fought to stay awake and standing. The white feline roared again and the numbness became stronger nearly making him let go of his katana.

But then he suddenly felt a warm wave washing his whole body, finally making his blade fell from his grip. He mind became blank and his spirit wasn't with his body anymore.

He fell on his knees.

And the tiger took steps toward him.

xX~°¤°~Xx

Takao didn't know where he was, but he felt like he was floating. He felt dazed, like he was somewhere between a sleeping state and an awaking one.

So you are the next one, huh? Compared to that woman, you are nothing special...

The voice snapped him out of his trance, but he could only see fog around him.

'...What?'

Ooh, I am surprised that you are able to form coherent word. You didn't even stutter.

The voice seemed genuinely surprised...Which somehow annoyed the teen.

'What? What are you talking about? And what- Wait. Where is the tiger?.! I was fighting him not even a minute ago!'

He became restless as he remembered his situation.

Though, I must admit, you do have the same energy as her...Your looks are similar too...

'Who the heck are you? And stop talking about things I don't know!'

And impatient too I see...You do not need to know my name as of now, Kinomiya Takao.

'What? How do you know my name?'

It is irrelevant and useless for you to know. The only thing you must know is that you are bound to lose if this keeps up. And I cannot let that happens now. So I will open the gate to your latent power for this once only.

Despite his anger, he became more and more confused as the voice spoke.

'What are you talking about?'

Remember that the gate will return to his original state after using it once, which means it will close again. You will have to open it again on your own.

'Answer me! You a-Wait. Are you talking to me in my mind?...What are you?'

You could say that I am...a deity.

As those last words faded away, the fog disappeared and Takao's sight fell on a white tiger approaching him.

xX~°¤°~Xx

He didn't know what happened to the human, but one thing was sure, he became stronger.

'What happened to him? He fell on his knees for not even one minute and that is the result?'

Said human still haven't moved from his position, but the feline could feel and practically touch the power emanating from him. His opponent still lost his blade, his weapon, so one could say the beast was at advantage.

But he knew better.

If he didn't move before the teen did, it was his lost.

So he jumped.

Takao knew he became stronger. He still didn't fully understand what that supposed deity was talking about, but he knew it was because of him he became stronger. And another thing he understood was that it was a one-time thing.

'Well, I better not miss then, huh?' he thought.

He brought the scabbard up as the white tiger came since he let his katana fell out of his hands.

And then he struck.

The beast had seen the attack coming when the human raised the sheath, but it was too late. He couldn't go back. What he didn't expect though was to actually fly through the piece to a wall before passing through said wall. Even after destroying a part of the wooden wall, he didn't stop.

He flew until he hit one of the few trees outside. A sharp pain shot through his back and his sight waved slightly before he blacked out.

Meanwhile, the midnight haired teen just stared agape from where he was. The sheath slowly went down until it fell from his grasp. His eyes travelled from his hands to the hole in the dojo's wall to the unconscious feline outside to come back to his hands and repeating the process.

"Holy crap! What the fuck was that?.!" he shrieked.

Takao's mind overdrive then, panicking.

"It can't be me who did that! It's impossible! Adrenaline rush and all aside, it can't be possible! A fucking strange nightmare, a white tiger attacking me, a deity talking to me and now that!"

Sweat were rolling down his pale face and neck, he tried to even his ragged breathing. He was going to hyperventilate if this continued. He sat down and began to breathe like his grandfather taught him. When he finally calmed down, he looked around him taking in the damage.

"Gramps is so going to kill me when he'll see this," he whispered as a afterthought when his eyes landed on the hole.

He stepped closer to examine it, grabbing his fallen katana and sheath. Then he stepped outside through it. He looked up at the sky, noticing it was slightly darker than earlier.

A low growl then grabbed his attention that made his look at the white tiger.

A awake white tiger.

"Oh shit!"

His hand immediately flew to his weapon, but before he could draw out his blade, something hit him from behind and he fell to the ground while darkness took him.

xX~°¤°~Xx

The tiger stared at the fallen human some seconds, whose injuries were already fading away, then directed his stare at the one responsible of the unconscious teen. He glared at the newcomer.

Some feet away were a wolf.

"Kai," he greeted.

The red eyes were shifted from a place to another as they took in every detail possible. After a while, the pair of crimson orb finally landed on the white beast.

Aside from the black stripes, the tiger was free of marks. All scars and scratches that he could have gotten from the fight disappeared.

"Rei," acknowledged the wolf.

A silence fell on them and the tension became heavy.

The golden eyes moved from Kai to Takao.

"I didn't take you as someone who would take a partner, Kai. I am...surprised," he said.

The wolf remained silent and immobile. He didn't even flinch when Rei suddenly glared at him.

"Just what are you trying to do, Hiwatari?" he spat. "You do not take partner. In fact, I've never met someone who avoided people contact as much as you are. So what is the meaning of this? What are you scheming?.!" he nearly screamed the last part.

The dark colored animal was unfazed by the interrogation. Then, a low red glow recovered the wolf. The form became bigger and longer and when the glow faded, a human was there.

If Takao was awake, he would have shouted in surprised at the sight of the teen from his dream. Same pale skin, leather clothes, face, dual hair, red eyes as well as same fluffy ears at the top of his head.

"I have nothing to tell you, Kon," he said.

A growl was heard and a soft green glow was seen before another teen was there.

That teen was lightly tanned and his face's features were slightly like a feline. He wore some kind of big long sleeved long white shirt with loose black pants under it. Tied around his waist was a long red cloth acting like a belt for the big clothes.

He passed hands through his raven bangs and head to come behind his head. He then tightened his red headband with a yin and yang symbol as well as a red rope that held his long raven hair together. As he did, his golden slit eyes glared at the other teen in front of him.

Like Kai, Rei had animal ears on his head, though his looked more like the ears of a white tiger than a wolf's. A black striped white tail could also be seen from under his shirt.

"Hiwatari, I won't lose. You heard? I won't lose and won't fall into whatever trap you're planning, low breed," he spat as he tightened his bandages covered fists.

Now the dual haired was the one glaring. "At least, this low breed as you speak of didn't desert his own clan as a certain pure breed did, Kon," replied Kai.

They glared at each other for a while before one of them broke the silence.

"You better go now, Kon. Despite what it seems, you are no way near stupid."

"Why you..." hissed Rei.

"You know you don't stand a chance against me. Go. Before I change my mind." The wolf eared teen turned around to pick Takao up, glancing one last time to the feline before walking to the house.

"I won't let you get what you want, Hiwatari," the golden eyed teen said, knowing Kai could still hear him.

He stared at the retreating figure a while longer before turning around and leaving himself.

Finally! I thought I was gonna die! I love writing, don't take me wrong, but sometimes when I can't find the words, it's just painful.

And once again, my imagination ran wild since this chapter is slightly longer than the others. Not that I really care, I just try to reach my goal of at least 1000 words per chapter...I have to plan a day to brainstorm all my ideas for this fic cuz I can't go on like that without a plot. I did well until now, but it won't last if I continue. Actually, the problem will rise in the chapter after the next one if I don't have a plot before that.

Anyway. Hope you enjoyed! ^^ And I want to thank all of you fabulous readers for sticking with me and this story. *winks* I seriously love you all! Thanks for reading, reviewing, favoring and putting on alert! ^^
