God Bless the Broken Road

Kai sat in the café of the JFK airport waiting for his flight. It had been seven years since he left all his friends in Japan and Russia. Since that time he had been traveling teaching beyblading skills to other beginners for Mr. Dickinson. But bigger than that he was hoping to find someone who could melt away the ice that had been built up around his heart for so long. So far he had come up with nothing but broken hearts but he had kept trying. That is what brought him to where he was now.

Pulling out his wallet Kai had to smile a little. He opened it right to a picture of Tala, the one he was now waiting to return to.

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

The first World Championships had taken them to Russia, to Tala. At the time his feelings for Rei had been growing and they were returned, but after the whole switching teams events trust had been lost between them and hearts had been broken.

Kai smiled. Most thought that Tala hated him when Boris had made him captain over him and the other Demolition Boys but in truth Tala had welcomed him with open arms. His attitude was just a front, much like his own. But now he was heading home.

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

The plane ride went without incident to Paris. From there he would take a train to Moscow. Kai lay back, this trip gave him plenty of time to think. Think about the years he should have realized that Tala was the one he was meant to be with. Closing his eyes with a sigh he saw Tala and himself holding hands just smiling at each other. He wished the plane would fly faster, he had promised Tala to call once he got to Paris.

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

The second World Championships had pushed him here, there and everywhere. They had started out together only to be torn apart when Boris returned. Brooklyn and Tyson had been his stars then, each had pointed to the other and beyond, and they had pointed back to him.

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Kai looked at his watch. Another hour and he would be at the train station. Tala would be waiting. And they would be together. The path had finally led him home.

Now I'm just rollin home
Into my lover's arm's
This much I know is true
That God Bless the Broken Road
That led me straight to you
That God Bless the Broken Road
That led me straight to you

Seylin: Ok… this could have been better… but it's still sweet.
