AN- ITS TYKA, here it goes-Ok guys this is my first attempt here, whew its hard work ..........The story is based directly after the last battle between Tyson and Brooklyn. Love makes you do strange things.......well read to find out more. The story will end the same way the show ended with tyson and Kai relaxing on the hill and having a bey battle afterwards
So basically my take on what happens in the lives of Tyson and Kai, specifically their love lifes in the months before the BBA reopened. I am writing it day wise for the first few days and then will jump to weekly happenings in the later chapters a total of 7-8 chapters maximum and with rapid updates. I am basically exploring the reason and events that led Tyson and Kai forget everything and everybody else and made them lie with each other in peace, companionship, and possibly love on that hillside in the last eppisode.

The Day of the Fateful Battle
There stood Tyson in all his glory. He had done it: he had saved the world yet again, he with his friends had defeated Brooklyn .There he stood happily smiling at Brooklyn who smiled back and everyone knew all was well and everything will be going back to normal, well as soon as humanly possible considering the damage Brooklyn's attacks had made .....
In a jiffy all the beybladers and fans were by Tyson's side congratulating him on his win, a smaller group surrounded Brooklyn probably congratulating him on an awesome show or maybe for getting his temper in check. The G-revolutions had done it together and now they could have the much needed rest, this year had been tough on everyone, especially Kai and Tyson.
Speaking of the two, Kai had finally disappeared again disappointing the two reddish brown orbs that were searching for him.......Tyson stood there scanning the area for any sign of Kai. But it seemed he had performed another perfect disappearing act, Tyson sighed but that came out as a pain filled groan. The others looked at him in concern immediately stopping their babbling. The worried faces of his teammates was all he saw before everything went black and he swayed.....Two arms caught him before he hit the ground. Everything went numb and the last thought that filled his mind was 'Kai even now, why couldn't you be here with me?'
MEANWHILE.......
Kai had stood there watching the beybattle end and Tyson emerging as the winner. How he wanted to gather the young blunette in his arms and tell him how fabulous he had been in the beybattle, but he felt slightly dizzy after all he was supposed to be in the hospital, he had broken out to see Tyson battle but it had been worth so much more......he swayed before he steadied himself and walked out of the stadium, whatever was left of it for that matter. ' I should probably rest before I meet him, I don't want to fall unconscious on him, he probably will try to put me back into that dammed hospital'. A slight smile made its presence felt on Kai's lips, he would never admit it but Kai always felt loved when Tyson fussed over him. In the past few months he had missed everything about Tyson and now he wanted to go back to him for he wanted to experience Tyson again, with his resolve firmed he walked.
Kai managed to drag himself to his mansion, he had inherited from his grandfather. Now that his grandfather was in jail, Kai used it to stay whenever he was in Bey city, he had abandoned it for some time after his loss to Brooklyn, but he needed a place to rest so it was either this or the hospital.
He reached the door and clicked the bell. James, his butler opened the door.
"Master Kai, you broke out of the hospital, their staff is going crazy, and the phone hasn't stopped ringing." As if on cue the phone rang. Kai ignored it and went towards his bed room. James was muttering something about phoning the hospital, but was cut off by Kai, "I am going to rest James do not disturb me." With that he vanished behind his bedroom door.
Kai dragged himself to bed and flopped down on it unceremoniously. He fell asleep within minutes thinking of starting it over afresh with Tyson, by fresh he meant no more running away ever, he had made this vow to himself as he had seen Tyson fight Brooklyn so bravely, he felt sick, worried, distressed watching him get all hurt, he realised being with Tyson was worth so much so much more and by not doing that all this time he had lost so much.....he had vowed 'if Tyson would forgive me and accept me I'll never leave him again',' how can I stay away from the angel, who puts everything at stake for his friends, how can I stay away from him when he so willingly accepted me back' With this vow in mind he drifted off to a pleasant sleep.
At the stadium.......
Tyson was ushered to the paramedics; they bundled him up in an ambulance muttering words like "extreme exhaustion", "deep cuts", "weak pulse", "body not responding", "immediate adrenaline shot needed". With each word they heightened the fear of Rei and Max who had accompanied Tyson in the ambulance. The others followed them to the hospital in other vehicles.
Tyson was immediately put in the emergency ward. He was growing pale with every passing minute and it took a lot of courage to look at the boy all wired up, hooked up with needles, lying on the bed painfully pale. Tyson was stated to be in critical state, the doctors blamed it on the extreme training and stress the boy had gone through in the past week which only aggravated in the battle with Brooklyn.
Day 1
The next day Tyson's condition had not improved and the boy looked so pallid, the doctor said if he doesn't wake up till evening things would only get worse. Everybody waited with baited breaths for Tyson to pull through this battle. And being the champion he is ....Tyson did wake up in the afternoon. Everybody was ecstatic. Though Tyson again fell back to sleep soon after waking up and dealing with an overjoyus grandpa, but the doctors said he was on the road to recovery and there was nothing to worry about now.
Though something did worry Rei, where had Kai gone to?? Tyson's news was everywhere so even then why was Kai not here????? He knew Kai was important to Tyson, even when Tyson had woken up for the shortest of time he had asked for Kai, his eyes had been searching for Kai. He felt worried for both of them. But he thought to keep that worry aside for later.
Day 2
Tyson felt much better the next day, after breakfast which he had grudgingly eaten under the evil supervision of Hilary, he now hated hospital food with all his worth, but Hilary and Kenny insisted it was good for his health Tyson was lying on his bed pondering, he yesterday had asked Kenny if Kai visited him and Kenny had said "No".
He wouldn't admit, but it hurt him, and very much so!!!!! He thought at least now after all this , Kai wouldn't turn his back on him....but he forced himself to believe he was wrong........he felt like he was burning in anger ,and in this moment of fury he choose to believe in a logic which probably explained him a lot of things[ Authoress notes- a logic that was going to create some major rift between him and Kai. 'Don't ever draw conclusions in anger, you'll always regret them'.]
Not welcome
Day 3
Meanwhile Kai had woken up from his slumber only to find that he had been sleeping for the past two and a half day. Kai woke up in shock and then realized Tyson would have been wondering if he had left again. "Tyson must have convinced himself that I am gone again, the idiot gets worked up too fast" Kai thought while a small smile graced his lips. He quickly got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen, his stomach was growling with hunger.
"Master Kai, how are you feeling this morning?"
"Fine James, breakfast?? "
"Of course Master Kai, I'll just bring it"
After he ate something he proceeded towards the door.
"Master Kai, you are not supposed to go anywhere.... you are supposed to rest"
"I'll be fine."
"No, master Kai, Doctors have warned, without adequate rest there might be a relapse...&...."
"James I said I'll take care. OK" Kai knew James meant well but he was not ready for a talk here and now.
"Just make sure you don't stress yourself, Sir"
"Yes I'll keep that in mind" Kai said in an exasperated voice and made a beeline walk to Tyson's dojo .Gramps was in the garden watering his prized plants.
"Good afternoon gramps" he said.
"Whaaaaaaaa, don't creep up on people like that k-man" Kai once again had come up like a cat feather-light and no noise.
"Sorry Gramps,.........is Tyson home???" he asked and scanning the unnaturally quite dojo.
Gramps looked at him all weird and then something hit him "Kai where were you after the battle? And where have you been for past two days??????"
Kai waited silently hoping Tyson's grandpa will drop it, but that didn't seem to be happening so he replied hesitantly "At my mansion..."
"Kai you do know Tyson was at the hospital right???"Gramps questioned seriously.
"Hospital!!! What ? No I...I didn't know, how is he???? Is he still there???? he is fine, isn't he???"He asked breathlessly, various not so good ideas zipped through his mind. It was like he was losing his rationale but, he wanted to know about Tyson, wanted to be with him, see him, hold him. Picturing Tyson lying in a hospital bed hurt him, he... Gramps cut into his thoughts "Calm down Kai and relax, yeah he is still at the hospital but he is fine" he left the part of Tyson being critical only yesterday out...... 'no use worrying him further he looks already terrified' thought Grandpa Granger.
"Go on Kai, go and meet him" with that he ushered Kai out.
Kai was in a state of guilt that he had left Tyson alone at the time he needed his friends, he felt like killing himself for it, but first he wanted to meet Tyson. He called a cab not wanting to waste any more time walking, and ordered the cab to take him to Tyson's hospital
Kai reached Tyson's hospital and rushed in past the small clan of reporters probably trying to get a sneak-shot of some beybladers or Tyson's doctors.
Kai reached the receptionist and asked for Tyson's room no. It was on the far end of the third floor, not bothering for the lift he used the stairs to get there. He reached the room to find Max sitting on a chair outside and Rei was inside sitting on the couch besides bed, he felt a stabbing guilt for the fact that it was them and not him who had taken care of his Tyson, before he could severely rebuke himself his eyes fell on Tyson.
Through the small glass pane on the door, he saw Tyson. There lay Tyson, a lot thinner than he normally was reading a manga. Kai couldn't see his face, it was blocked by the manga. Kai was brought out by his observational stupor by a soft coughing sound from behind.
He turned around to find Max beaming at him.
"Good to see you Kai."
"Hn."
"Where have you been for the past two days?"
He chose not to answer that, instead he questioned "How's Tyson, Max?"
"He is better Kai."Max said slowly.
"Hn"
"Oh, go ahead meet him Kai, I am sure he will be happy to see you. "
'I hope so too Max, I hope he forgives me, and still accepts me' Kai mused.
Kai stepped into the room, his gaze firmly fixed on Tyson, who lowered his book took a look at Kai and surprisingly went back to his reading, Kai was expecting something like this but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. He lowered his gaze.
Rei who had been silently watching this rather interesting display got up and went to Kai,
"Hey Kai, nice to see you man."
"Rei." Kai acknowledged.
"I am outside; tell me if you need something Tyson."
"Yeah" Tyson replied without even looking up from his book.
Tyson felt relieved to see Kai, but at the same time he felt so....so angry at him.
"How are you Tyson?" Kai asked looking pointedly at the book which Tyson was reading, as though trying to burn away the hindrance just by looking at it.
"Fine" Tyson answered sans his usual enthusiasm which was very much part of his voice.
"That was a very good battle Tyson!" normally Tyson would beam at him whenever he gave Tyson a compliment about a good match but Tyson didn't say anything this time but just lowered his book and gave Kai a cold stare, Kai cringed only Tyson could affect him like that only tyson.
He tried again "Tyson I...." but Kai was interrupted when a red head came running into Tyson's room.
"Hey Tyson, the doctor said you can go home tomorrow"
"That's real nice Daichi." said Tyson finally keeping away his book.
But not once did he look at Kai.
"Wait till I defeat you in a battle then it won't be that nice, hahahaha"
"Yeah Daichi we'll blade and see you beat me, now go outside alright." Tyson's voice was filled with tiredness.
Daichi was a bit surprised at Tyson's behaviour but he nevertheless left the room.
An uncomfortable silence reined the room. Tyson and silence in the same room is an uncommon occurrence and it was causing Kai a lot of unease.
Kai wanted to tell him how relieved he was to see Tyson, how empty it had felt to be away from him, how glorious it felt to be with him now. Kai wanted to tell him about Dranzer. He knew Dranzer was with him, he could sense it rather precisely but he would need a new blade in which his bit beast would reside. He tried to tell him, how he wanted Tyson to be there when he would launch a new beyblade and will dranzer to reside in the new talisman. How he wanted to tell him all this.....But Tyson was obviously angry with him and he didn't know how was he going to go about telling him.
He tried "You remember you promised me a beybattle Tyso...."
But was abruptly cut off by Tyson exclamating "Why, oh why???"
"...." Kai was bewildered.
"Why am I not surprised Kai" Tyson said sarcastically "Guess because I have finally figure you out enough to see this coming." he added.
"What..ar."
"Don't play dumb with me Hiwatari, Beybattles that is all you care about, right. We don't, I don't matter to you right Kai all you are worried about are those dammed beybattles. I thought you cared about us Kai, you cared about me. But see how wrong I was, wasn't I ??" Tyson's voice rang through the room.
Suddenly his voice dipped low it seemed laced with despise "All you cared was for the beyblader Tyson, the one who can beyblade. Even if I had died after that battle, you wouldn't mourn me, you would mourn the beybattles you would miss Kai.
"NO, Tyson how could you" Kai's voice was desperate..
But in his rage Tyson wasn't seeing anything he lashed at Kai yet again filling his voice with all the disdain he could muster "How could I? How could I? You ask me. Well it wasn't that difficult to see you know....for starters you didn't care for the person who was you team mate Kai. He was hurt Kai, you saw Tala's condition and still you went in search of a worthy match you abandoned him for a freaking match.
Yeah you came back, I thought you came back for us, but again I was wrong you came back for revenge Kai, I didn't realise it then but now when I put the pieces together it just seems right.....
DAMM YOU WEREN'T EVEN HERE WHEN I WAS ON THE VERGE OF A BLOODY DEATH. B'COZ YOU BLOODY DON'T CARE!!!!! SO STOP PRETENDING"
"Tyson that's so not true. I was ......"
"Save it Kai. You know what? I have always trusted you even at times when nobody believed, I did. I trusted you blindly and what you gave me in return was BETRYAL, always that. You haven't changed Kai. I prided myself thinking I have somehow helped you open up, lighten up. But what I didn't realize then was that underneath you always remained a high fidelity jerk who doesn't CARE."
"Tyson I thought of all people you understood me, I never....."Kai almost choked up, Tyson had never talked to him like that and it didn't feel right, damm it!!!!!!!!!! It downright hurt it was slaying him inside.
"Shut the hell up Hiwatari and don't you dare give me that . I have finally understood you and the wrongs I did. The biggest being to trust you as a friend" grit out Tyson
But now he said something which Kai never thought of hearing from Tyson.
"I have had enough of you to give a life time of heart ache & I don't think I'll be able bear more of it, so do me a favour and GET OUT of here before you UNKNOWINGLY MANAGE TO KILL ME."
"Tyson, you were the one who always took me back and now you want...." Kai said with a small ghostly smile, which screamed of heartache too big to hold.
"Yeah and that was my second BIGGEST MISTAKE. So now go away, get out of my life Kai, b'coz we always were a big mistake, only a big mistake"
Kai didn't even realise as he obeyed Tyson. His bangs covering his eyes as he opened the door Tyson spoke again.
"It's me who is hurt Kai and not your challenger, not the blader 'Tyson' so don't worry, you won't miss on THE awesome challenge....." Unknowing to both there were tears streaming down Tyson's cheek as he said this.
Outside the room:
Rei and Max knew Tyson missed Kai; he was hurt not to find Kai when he woke up. But now since Kai was back they were sure everything would turn out well. Doctor's had advised to keep the stress levels low for Tyson and they knew with Kai around Tyson was bound to be happier.
Suddenly the door to Tyson's room opened. Rei saw Tyson immersed in a manga before the door closed. He then spared a glance at Kai. He seemed like life had been drained out of him. Ray and Max shared a confused look.
Max in an instant was besides Kai "What happened Kai?" But Kai kept walking. Max grabbed Kai by his elbow and made him sit on the couch. Kai didn't seem to protest. He seemed completely out of it. He flopped on the couch like a lifeless dummy, his eyes unseeing, he seemed a complete portrayal of a wreck.
"What happened Kai, are you alright buddy ???"
Kai looked at Max. Max flinched, his eyes were filled with pain; it looked like light was seeping out of those eyes. Kai was shaking. Kai kept staring at some point above Max's shoulder.
Max threw a questioning look at Rei, who seemed as confused. Rei took a step towards Kai and stopped in mid track his eyes widening, Max followed suit as a single tear rolled down Kai's cheek and Kai was shaking even worse. Not able to see what can be done Max grabbed Kai into a warm hug, which he hoped was comforting, he knew Kai did not like human contact, but there was nothing else that came to his mind then.
Rei stood there dumbfounded at the turn of events they had hoped for a happy reunion and not this....this was so...He had never seen Kai so distraught before, sure these few weeks had been bad on them, but they have been even worse for Kai and Tyson in particular. He had no idea what was bothering Kai so much.
"It's gonna be alright Kai. Everything is going to be fine. Tyson's fine Kai and it's not your fault remember so there, relax buddy." Max took a wild guess that maybe Kai was sad because of Tyson's condition.
But these words opened the dam, Kai's body wreaked with sobs and tears steadily poured down from his eyes, Max was shocked, his shirt rapidly becoming wet, with Kai's continued crying. Max again tried to soothe him but it didn't change anything, Kai continued sobbing on his shoulder muttering amidst sobs "I care....more than.....I don't Tyson, you can't.......I'd die before I do that.....how can you not understand...you don't want me to.......I'll kill me before....I..think... Tyson you...... Tyson.....", he wept because it was Tyson who said all that, the one person who had so much power on him, the only person who...... his heart wept because of the pain before he fell limp against Max.
Max shifted Kai to make him lay on the couch, Rei hurried off to find a doctor. Doctor took a look at him and made arrangements to put him in a room so that the poor boy could rest. Max had gone to ask Tyson about what happened between him and Kai but Tyson was already asleep. Max sighed he would have to wait for tomorrow. Rei stayed in Kai's room and Max went to his Dad's house while gramps stayed with Tyson for the night.
A decision:
Kai woke up very early next morning, the sun was visible just around the horizon, and he guessed it must be around five thirty. Having realised he was in the hospital room, he ran his eyes across the room to find Rei asleep on the couch. He lay there thinking about yesterday.
'I wish this was just a nightmare. Tyson, oh Tyson' tears pricked his eyes.
Kai's POV
Tyson you were so distant and quite, I just wanted to see you smile Tyson, I just wanted to see that smile directed at me. I wanted to make everything alright for you for us.........I wasn't challenging you to a beybattle, I was trying to tell you about dranzer, Tyson if you'd die I wouldn't live don't you get it. Everything that I have done was for you. I wouldn't have come back to fight Brooklyn if YOU hadn't asked me to......yes I left Tala for a match with you, I knew he was safe with you Tyson, I left him for those few moments in which we both completely let go, for the moments in which I am completely free with you, for that exhilaration that zips through me when you look at me with that burning determination in your eyes during our matches.
Tyson did you realize I joined Boris, the one person I hate so much just for gaining access to those moments.....words won't ever be enough to tell you how valuable those moments are for me.
Tyson you are the only person who has managed to invoke so many emotions in me. I was horribly jealous of you, I have admired you, I have envied you, and then I stared caring for you maybe just as a good friend but I couldn't stop there Tyson and I fell in love with you.
And in those moments I don't have to hold back my most pure emotion for you, I can show you how important you are to me.
I know there have been a string of wrong decisions I have taken and for those I now have to pay the price. I HAVE LOST YOU TYSON; the one person that matters to me the most. The one and only one for me, I lost your trust Tyson.
You don't want me here and that is how it shall be..............you won't see me Tyson neither outside the Beystadium nor inside it. I won't ever be the cause of any more pain to you Tyson and if for it I have to go away I will'
With his decision made Kai got out of his bed, grabbed his coat from the adjoining chair, wiped his face which had become wet with continuous trails of tears, and quietly left the room.
