Beyblade Burst- Shu x Reader: You're my other half

Chapter 8: Try This

Ugh, what happened? My head was pounding. My arms and legs feel like jelly. Everyone around me was screaming at the top of their lungs!!

I slump further into my bed. It was a nice firm slab of stone that I'd slowly grown comfortable in. No one noticed that I was awake. I hid under my blanket and stared at the sheet.

The memories of what just happened flash before me. 

Two living and breathing Corrupted Bloods are in my room. Corrupted Bloods who know how to use their abilities. Who never got caught and now they're running away to the castle for safety because I'm a Corrupted Blood too. 

I mentally slapped myself for my stupidity. I need to apologize to Shu. How could I have been so selfish!?

I wonder what kind of Corrupted Blood he is. Kris told me one day when we were little the 3 different types. I remember hiding under these very same sheets with her as if someone was listening in on us. We would giggle and shush each other to keep it down. Her cute smile would light up the area as she whispered in my ear. 

"I heard that you're a Duel Corrupted Blood!" She exclaimed!

"What does that mean?" I asked in a hushed voice. 

"It means that you have two blood colors!! There are also Triplets with three colors and Gods with all four!!" She was so excited to tell me any new information she could find about Corrupted Bloods. Her little body would come rushing in as she tried carrying a large book in her arms. Pointing at a few torn and burnt pages, she tried to explain to me what they all meant.

However, there were only a few things we were able to understand. 

Everyone's screaming got louder and I wanted to clog my ears with anything to block out the noise. 

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR WHY YOU DID THAT!!"

"I THINK THAT'S A PRETTY REASONABLE EXPLANATION!!'

"IF I COULD, I'D KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!!"

"Hey, stop yelling. Y/N's awake." My sheet was taken away from me as a chilling wind breezed alongside my body. 

"AHH!! Gimme the blanket back!!" I wined. 

"Y/N, now's not the time for complaining!! We need you to use your abilities now!!" Kris yelled while shaking my poor body.

"HUH!! WHAT WHY!?" I screamed!! I looked at everyone where the worrisome painted their faces.  

"Dead Metal can make you extremely ill if you don't use your abilities once it's taken off. Apparently, a doctor and a trainer were supposed to help you with that LATER AFTER YOU GOT HOME, BOA!!!" She shrieked at the green-eyed boy. 

"I DIDN'T THINK SHE'D ACTUALLY PASS OUT!!" He yelled back! 

"SHE'S BEEN WEARING THE DAMN THING FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS!! OF COURSE, SHE'S GOING TO PASS OUT!!"

I should be mad at Boa for taking it off, but for some reason, I'm not. My body feels less tense and I'm able to feel the objects around me so vividly. It's like the flavors of the things around me were exploding on my skin. 

Even with the pounding and jellyness of my head and legs, the chill that slithered across my body after my blanket was removed was astonishing. 

"Come on Y/N! We have to take you downstairs and figure out some way for you to use your abilities!!" Daigo pleaded while Kris helped me get off of my bed. Free then joined in as I put one arm over him and the other arm over Kris. 

When my bare feet touched the ground, a prickly and rough surface poked my skin. I didn't think removing the Dead Metal would enhance my sense of touch like this.
