Summary: Tyson Granger is a normal, everyday guy with normal, everyday friends. That is until he learns of their truth. Can he come to terms with this newly discovered truth, or will it throw his entire world into chaos? TyKa (love it!) and MaRe.
Mint: Hey everyone! Mint here, reporting for writing duty.
Tyson: And about time, too! We've been waiting for, like, ever!
Kai: Can we just get started already?
Mint: Okay, I get it, Mr. Grumpy. You're just jealous because I've kept you from your precious Tyson.
Kai: Do you know how crazy I've been going without him? (Grabs Tyson and holds him protectively) What were you doing with him, anyway?
Mint: Uh . . . Why don't you start with the disclaimer, Max?
Max: Sure! Mint does not, in any way, own us or Beyblade. Nor does she own The Great Demon Kingdom or Kyo Kara Maoh.
Mint: This is not a cross-over between Beyblade and Kyo Kara Maoh! I am only using the Great Demon Kingdom in my story and nothing else! Well, maybe except the concept of humans fighting demons. (Smiles innocently)
Kai: You're avoiding the question.
Mint: Ray, take the warnings!
Ray: This fanfic includes yaoi (boy x boy), strong language, violence, death, and male pregnancy.
Tyson: What was that last part?
Mint: Let the story begin!
And, sorry if the characters seem a little out of character. I'm trying my best here! But, I like when Kai acts affectionate towards Tyson.
In a World with You

Chapter 1: Surprise! Welcome to our Home.
Tyson Granger sat cross-legged on the dojo floor while waiting for his friends. He recalled the phone call he received this morning.
Flashback
Ring, ring, ring! Tyson groaned as he heard his cell phone go off at 6 in the morning. He lazily reached over to where the buzzing phone was laying and picked it up. "Hello?" he mumbled into what he thought was the speaker. He finally realized it was upside down, and he slowly flipped it. "Hello?" he mumbled again.
"Tyson! We have something exciting to tell you!" a voice screamed on the other line. It was one of Tyson's best friends, Max Tate.
"Wha?" he asked. He was still half asleep.
"We'll be over in about one hour! See you soon!" Tyson heard a click and knew Max had hung up.
End flashback
His mind began to wonder. Why had they called him so early anyway? What was so urgent that they couldn't wait until later? Wait . . . could they have found out about him and Kai Hiwatari? No, that couldn't be it. They already pretty much knew, since Tyson was starting to show Kai affection in public. Not to mention, he and Kai weren't really official yet . . . And, he knew that Max and Ray Kon had a little something going on, too. So then what could it be?
Tyson was brought back to reality when he heard the door slide open and people walk in. Tyson yawned and greeted them with a tired wave. "Hey guys. What's the matter? Did Ray finally get the courage to ask Max out?" Tyson teased.
Ray blushed slightly but smirked nonetheless. Max, on the other hand, turned red. "Hey! At least we're farther along than you and Kai!" Max retorted.
"Hey, take that back!" Tyson fumed.
"Hah hah! Never!"
"Do it now!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"That's enough!" Kai stopped their arguing. He sighed and said, "Max, you know why we came here. Tyson, we have something important to talk about."
Tyson nodded and waited for his friends to continue.
"I'm going to get straight to the point, Tyson," Ray began. "We want you to come back with us to our world and live there."
Tyson looked at him like he sprouted another head. "Your world? Like your country?"
"No. Our world as in another world apart from this one," Ray corrected him. "Our world is the world of the demons. It is called 'The Great Demon Kingdom', and it is where we are from.
Tyson looked at all of his friends with wide eyes. "You mean . . . You're all demons? And, you never told me?"
He was taking it a little differently than they had expected. "Sorry we didn't tell you, buddy, but we couldn't. It's not exactly something we can be open about," Max explained.
"So why are you telling me this now?"
"We told you, we want you to come live in our world," Ray repeated.
"Okay, then why?"
"Uh . . ." Ray paused for a moment. "You're going to have to ask Kai that one."
Tyson looked at Kai questioningly. "Kai?"
Kai walked over to Tyson and gently placed a hand upon his head. "I can't tell you until you decide to come with us. I know it seems all so soon, but we'll give you a day to think it over."
Kai turned around to walk away, along with Ray and Max, when Tyson suddenly stood and grabbed Kai's arm. "Wait. If I go with you, I can always be with you?" he asked Kai.
He turned around to look Tyson in the eyes and nodded. "Yeah. Always."
"Then, I've decided. I want to go with you."
Kai looked surprised. "Really?"
"Yeah, really." Tyson grinned at his best friend and secret crush. He could hear Max and Ray giggling in the background.
"Tyson said yes way too fast," Ray commented.
"I think he's just really excited about being with Kai more," Max added.
Tyson puffed his cheeks at them. "Like you guys could talk. You're, like, all over each other whenever you're alone." That stopped them in their tracks.
Max gasped and yelled, "How did you know that?"
"I didn't, but I do now." Tyson grinned evilly at them.
"That's enough, Max!" Kai demanded, becoming annoyed and impatient. Max pouted and grabbed Ray's arm for protection. "Then we leave now." Kai announced.
Tyson nodded and said, "OK. Let me pack and say bye to Gramps." Crap! I almost forgot! I can't just tell Gramps I'm going away to The Great Demon Kingdom . . .
"Don't waste time packing. We already have everything you need at home," Kai confirmed. He followed Ray and Max to the sliding door, paused, and said, "Meet us in the park when you're done saying goodbye." And they left.
Tyson began looking for his Gramps. He exited the dojo and halted, half expecting him to pop out of nowhere to strike him with the wooden training sword. "Gramps!" he called out. "Gramps, Where are you?" He heard a soft scuffle from behind him. He turned around quickly to find . . . No one there. "Gramps?"
"HEEYA!" The shout came from above. Tyson rolled to the side, barely dodging the attack. "What's up, little man? Lookin' for me?" the old man asked Tyson.
The bluenette nodded. "Uh, yeah. Is it okay if I . . ." Tyson stopped, thinking of what he should say. "If I live with Kai, Max, and Ray? I mean . . . I know it sounds weird and all, but . . ." Tyson looked down, afraid to meet the older man's eyes.
Gramps face softened, and he looked almost sad. He got closer to Tyson and patted his head fondly. "I knew this day would come, T-man," he admitted to his grandson. The bluenette's eyes widened. There was silence as he waited for the old man to explain. He coughed and said, "Look, I can't give you the 411 now, little man, but I can say this. You're special. Everything will piece together. Go. Do what you gotta do."
Tyson grinned at his Gramps and hugged him. "Thanks, Gramps. I promise to visit whenever I can!" The older man just nodded and watched as his dear grandson left him to begin his own life.
"Good luck, T-man. And, come back safely."
. . .
"Hey, guys!" the bluenette greeted his friends. He huffed slightly from running.
"Hey, Ty. Are you all set?" Max asked with his usual grin.
"Yep!"
"Did you go to the bathroom?" Kai questioned him.
"Huh? Bathroom? What, are there no bathrooms at The Great Demon Kingdom?" Tyson tilted his head to the side, a confused look on his face.
Kai sighed and yes, "Of course they do. But, the trip is a little crazy, and I wouldn't want you to end up doing what Max did." There was a choking sound behind him.
"Kai! It was my first time! And, I didn't know!" Max shouted defensively, a slight blush on his face.
"Uh . . . Right. I went not too long ago, so let's go!" Before I learn something else I didn't need to know, Tyson thought.
Kai nodded and raised a hand. Suddenly, something black, red, and smoky began to form in front of him. Tyson jumped a little in surprise, but remained quiet. Kai took the bluenette's hand into his own and said, "Never let go of me, okay? You could end up getting lost . . ." Tyson gulped and nodded. "Ray, Max, you two go first," Kai ordered.
"Right," Ray and Max said in unison before jumping into the swirly portal. Tyson could hear them yelling "whoa!" as they disappeared deeper into the dark depths.
"Get ready," Kai warned as he wrapped his other arm around the bluenette to keep him close. As they got closer Tyson could feel himself being lifted up, as if the portal wanted to swallow him up so desperately. Soon, all he could see was darkness and a red glowing light. He felt blind. He began to panic but calmed when Kai squeezed his hand gently. I'm here. It was as if the bluenette could hear the dual-haired thoughts.
Kai? Tyson called out mentally.
We're almost there . . . Breathe, Ty, breathe! Tyson hadn't even noticed he was holding his breath. He gasped as the portal finally spit them out, and they land on the ground with a hard thud! He moaned from the whiplash, but smiled when he felt something comfortable beneath him.
Thank goodness something soft broke my fall. Tyson hesitated when he heard a pain filled groan from under him.
"Are you okay?" he heard Kai's voice. Suddenly realizing what, or who, he landed on; he quickly rolled off of Kai and blushed.
"Ah! Kai! I'm so, so, so sorry! Did I hurt you?" the bluenette cried out, concerned.
Kai also had a slight blush on his face. "Don't worry. I'm fine." But, he was better than fine. It felt nice to have our bodies so close . . .
"Are you sure, Kai? You look a little dazed," Tyson said while waving his hand in front of Kai's face.
Kai sat up quickly and said, "Uh, yeah, I'm sure." But, the thought still lingered in his mind.
"Tyson, Kai, you two okay?" Max yelled when he and Ray found Tyson and Kai.
"Yeah, we're- Whoa," the bluenette stopped talking when he noticed his new surroundings.
Kai smirked, stood up, and helped Tyson up. "This is it, The Great Demon Kingdom. Welcome home, Tyson."
Mint: Muahaha! I'm going to leave it there. (Grins evilly)
Tyson: But, that's not fair! (Pouts, but smiles when Kai holds him)
Mint: Well, think of it this way. Now you can look forward to the next chapter!
Max: Write it now! I want more time with Ray!
Tyson: I need more time with Kai! (Clings to Kai)
Mint: Okay, okay, calm down. You guys will have plenty of time together. And, I promise not to take Tyson away this time.
Kai: Oh yeah! What did you do to my love? (Gives death glare)
Mint: Uh . . . Gotta go! Please don't forget to review, review, review!
