Author's Notes: Well everyone, I'm back again with another short TyKa fan fic. To be honest, I consider this to be the remake of Together in Time because the storyline turned out to be a little weird and I don't really know how to end it. Sorry to those who liked it, but if there is anytime that I am able to think of an ending to it, I will post another chapter to that fan fic. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy this one.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Original Beyblade Characters or the Anime/Manga Series in any way. Makoto Kinomiya is an official character from Beyblade Manga Volume 14. So, I didn't make them up!

"Talking..." "Thinking..." Character Narration or Flash Back

Prologue

There was a wail. A wail that is so loud that the people nearby can hear it. The sound soon was replaced by sniffling. He finally settled down because of the cooing of her mother's voice. "It's alright, my child. Please don't cry. Everything is going to be alright. Your mother's here."

Sitting next to her hospital bed is the boy's father. She handed the bundle over to him. With his strong arms, he held the child close to him, slowly rocking the boy back and forth.

"He looks just like you," she said.

"You really think so?" he replied before he took another look at the baby. "You're right. He does look like me in a way."

"Yes, there's no denying that he's your child…Look at his stunning navy blue hair."

"Of course he's ou—wait, you said my child."

"Yes, you're going to take care of him in the years to come."

"Yuki, don't tell me that you'r—"

"Don't say anymore," she softly said. "Just promise me to take care of him."

His eyes soften as water began to fill them. He knew he couldn't do anything more for her except this last deed. Placing on top of her hand with his, he replied, "Don't worry. I will make sure to protect him."

The boy sniffled again as tears began to form in his eyes. The father rocked the baby once again as the boy's mother said, "Don't be so sad, Makoto. You have your dad here to take care of you."

"Makoto?"

"Yes, that is the name I want to call him if that is okay with you?"

With a faint smile on his face, he said, "Of course, anything for you. I like the name as well."

She smiled back at him and closed her eyes after she said her final words to him, "Thank you for everything, Takao."

That was the day how it came to be today. Three years has passed by since her death. A lot of things happened. Right now, I'm supporting my son who is currently three years old. Since I am a single parent, I have left the days of my blading career and concentrated on supporting my family. Life is hard and I hope things will turn out better if I resume to looking for a new spouse to be with forever.

A Future with You

Chapter One: Past Memories

It is peaceful at the Kinomiya dojo. The young navy haired adult woke up by the welcoming rays of the sun that shown through the window. Though he wants to sleep longer, he knew he couldn't. There is too much to do today. He pulled the blanket aside and placed his feet on the cold floor. He turned to his right to see his sleeping son, now three years old, sleeping soundlessly. Reminding himself that he is supporting the child, Tyson Granger smiled with content. Life feels lonely when the love of your life disappears just like that. He got out of bed and took a shower.

By the time he finished, the navy haired adult headed over to the kitchen and prepared to make breakfast knowing that later in the day, his son will wake up hungry.

Three months passed by since the BEGA Justice Five Tournament Match. During that time, the G-Revolutions continued blading together and teaching children how to blade. However, as the years passed, we soon just disappeared from the world of beyblades, starting with my rival.

"Hey you guys," said the blond haired teen, Max Tate. "Does anyone know where Kai went?"

The bladers looked around to see any sign of the dual haired teen. He was right. He isn't around or can be seen from the naked eye. "Come to think of it," the brunette, Hilary Tachibana said, "he hasn't showed up since last week."

"To be precise," the glasses teen, Kenny corrected, "he hasn't shown up since seven days, ten hours, forty minutes, and thirty-two seconds ago."

All of a sudden, the group of teens turned their attention to the Chief as they stared at him. They all knew that Kenny has the intelligence to know about these things, but sometimes he just goes overboard.

"You know you don't have to be that precise…"

"Ahh, my head hurts just thinking about it!" the red headed teen, Daichi Sumeragi exclaimed.

"Do you think something must have come up?" the Chinese teen, Ray Kon asked. "Like an accident or something…"

"I doubt that," I replied. "It's Kai we're talking about. Knowing him, he probably wants to be alone like he always does." Then, I crossed my arms over my chest, lifted my chin up and gave my friends the 'Kai imitation'. "I'm Kai Hiwatari. I'm too cool to be with Tyson and the rest of the G-Revolutions because I am a lone wolf and I don't want to become a loud mouth like some people I know."

As I did that, I heard my buddy, Max giggling with amusement along with some of the others. On the other hand, Ray somewhat find it funny, but he knew if Kai were to come and see this, we all would be getting the greatest punishments of our lives.

"Tyson, each time you do that, you're getting better and better acting like him," Kenny said.

"Oh no, you must stop Tyson or else you'll become another Kai!" Max exaggerated while smiling at me.

"Don't worry Max, I won't," I replied as I wrapped my arm around his neck. "Besides, each time I do that, I would always strain myself trying to be him."

Ignoring the small show that I put up for the group, Ray quickly get the group back on topic as he replied, "Yeah, you're probably right. It's hard to reason with Kai."

However, the time of waiting turned into days, then weeks, followed by months, and finally years. Kai Hiwatari hasn't returned for three years. It was when another one of our friends left his beyblade career.

"Ray? You're not participating in the World Championships anymore?" I asked.

"I'm sorry Tyson. As much as I like it, I have to go back to my village in China," Ray replied. "I have decided to live with the White Tigers and Mariah. She's been missing me."

"I see, you want to live with her forever," Max added as he elbowed him on the gut.

"Yeah," he replied, trying to hide the redness of his cheeks as he rubbed his sore spot.

"I understand. Good luck Ray and remember to keep in touch with us," I said with a smile and a pat on his shoulder.

"I will Tyson. Same goes for the rest of you."

"See you."

Then, two years later, we became illegible to blade in the World Championships. Most of us were twenty years old. But that didn't stop us from continuing to blade for fun. During that time, Max left the group.

"I have to go back to America for my mother's funeral," Max replied. "Then, I have to take over the American BBA as the new head director."

"I understand Max," I replied. "It's important for you to see her off one last time."

Whipping his tears away using his sleeves, he gave his buddy a warm smile. "Yeah, thanks Tyson for everything."

"No problem. Just remember to keep in touch with us."

"Of course, I'll remember. See you soon!"

"Good luck Max."

From there, it's only a matter of time until I left as well. Once Kenny and Hilary graduated from University, they went to Graduate School in another country. On the other hand, Daichi soon left Japan to travel around the world, seeking more challenges and some adventure. As for me, at that time, I met the love of my life, Yuki Sakurai.

She was young, beautiful, and kind. We coincidently met at the park. At that time, I was there teaching children how to blade.

"Is this how we're supposed to launch a blade?" one of the boys asked.

"Yep, that's correct. Now, you just have to launch," I replied.

Pulling as hard as he could on his ripcord, the boy launched his blade into the stadium.

"Yep, that's a good launch. I know you can do it if you tried!"

"Alright! Thanks Tyson, you're the best!"

"Nah, it's nothing."

"Toshiya! Where are you?" called out a voice.

The both bladers turned around to see a young lady coming towards them.

"Nee-chan, you're here!" Toshiya said.

"Sorry, I took so long. I was held up at the grocery store. The cashier couldn't even give me the right change," she replied.

Then, she turned her attention to the navy haired adult. She bowed down her head and said, "Thank you for watching over him, Tyson Granger right?"

"Yes, and no problem," I replied as he shook her hand.

"Hey Tyson, how about joining us for dinner?" Toshiya asked.

"Well, I don't know about that. Besides, your sister might have only bought enough food for both of you."

"Don't worry Tyson, I can manage. Besides, think of it as a returning favour."

"Well, I'll be honoured...umm..."

"Call me Yuki, Yuki Sakurai."

Since that night together, I have suddenly grown fond of her. Everyday, I would always come to the park to teach Toshiya and wait for her to come to pick him up. We would always hang around each other primarily for the sake of being friends. However, one day, it all changed. If I remember correctly, it was around seven years since the present day.

On that day, it was cloudy and gloomy. I was busy doing the groceries (because I ran out of food to eat at home) when I bumped into Yuki. She appeared to be anxiously looking for something. "Hey Yuki, is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Tyson," she said as she suddenly grabbed my hands up to her. I blushed a faint shade of pink, thinking she was confessing her feelings for me. "Have you seen Toshiya?"

"Toshiya? No, I didn't."

"Oh, where could he be?" she wondered after she let go of my hands.

"What happened?"

"He must have went to the park thinking that today is another weekday. He was probably expecting you to teach him again. When I went there to check, he wasn't there. He must have been looking for you."

"Uh oh, then that's not good. We have to look for him as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I'm so worried."

"I'll go with you."

"Thank you Tyson."

"Let's go."

After two hours, there is still no sign of the missing child. Not only the police have no reports on any missing child, so does the people we asked around the neighbourhood. Just when we were about to give up the search, my cell phone started to ring from my pants pocket. I picked up the phone, pressed the talk button and replied, "Hello?"

"Is this Tyson Granger?" asked a voice.

"Yes, it is. Who am I talking to?"

"This is Dr. Takuya from the Bay City Hospital. We have a child by the name of Toshiya here."

"Really? You do?! How is he?"

"I'm afraid...you need to come. I will explain everything once you get here."

"Oh no..."

Once I hung up the phone, I immediately told her to come with me to the hospital. Once we got there, the doctor was there. He explained that the boy wanted to search for me. So, he left the park and accidently got involved in a car crash. Some drunk driver didn't stop the car when he was supposed to at the street light and hit the poor child. As a result, a witness saw what happened and called for an ambulance where they got him and sent him here for treatment. At this time, he is still in the emergency room with the other doctors and nurses, trying to save him from blood loss.

We waited for hours in the waiting room, praying and hoping that Toshiya would survive. At the same time, I took the liberty to care for Yuki's worries. By the time we got the results, the doctors came out and only shook their heads.

Toshiya is now dead.

I knew I couldn't go home just yet. I can't leave her alone. Besides, she spend most of the time, crying.

"I am such an irresponsible sister!" she cried. "I can't believe I let something like this to happen!"

"It's not your fault," I replied as I wrapped my arms around her body and held her against me. "You didn't know this was going to happen to him. If it makes you feel better, you can cry all you like on my shoulders."

"Tyson...oh Tyson!"

From there, no words are needed to be exchanged. All she needed was someone to be there for her.

Although it took a while, after the funeral arrangements and the ceremony itself, it took Yuki about a month to recover. Normally, it would take people longer than that, but something happened that made her left go of her worries for good.

"I want you to listen to me for a moment," I said. "Even if you think you're alone, you're not. I know your parents passed away since you were young and you had difficult times getting through life, don't curse it. Make it become your life lesson. You're never alone. You will always have someone that can watch over you."

"Tyson, will you be that person to watch me?" she asked.

"I'd be glad to," I replied as I smiled back at her. "Yuki, since we've been closer together for the last few months, I have grown to fall for you. Will you...be my wife?"

I suddenly found myself in her deep embrace. "Of course Tyson. I'm glad you asked."

From that day on, I knew there is many great adventures that Yuki and I are going to be on. However, who would have thought those moments would end so soon.

"Daddy, me hungwy," the young, three year old, Kinomiya asked as he pulled my shirt down.

Smiling to him, I bent down to his level and picked him up from the ground. "Well, look who's finally awake," I said as he was lifted onto my shoulders. "Guess what we're having today for breakfast."

"Eggs and Ba--uhh...Ba--"

"Bacon, Makoto. It's bacon."

"Okay, Bacon!"

"Well, let's get you to the washroom so you can be fully awake."

"Hai!"

As they were about to walk to the washroom, they stopped by at a picture frame that is placed on the round table. They took a glance at it, remembering the moments they shared with it. "Dad, Kaa-san watch us?" Makoto asked.

"Yes Chibi-Kao (1), Kaa-san is watching over us," I replied. "And she's happy to see us well. Remember to say good morning to her."

"Morning Kaa-san."

"It's nice seeing you again, Yuki. Thank you for taking care of us for all these years."

I can never forget about you and the great memories we share. It's just so unfortunate that there's no more time for us to have anymore.
