Ok, a few warning first. I don't own Beyblade so NO YOU CAN'T SUE, nor do I have any money to sue for. Next, I was watching Beyblade one day and I was wondering what Kai would be like in the series if he was different. Hence, the inspiration for this mildly frightening one shot.
Kai!
It started out as an ordinary day. The Bladebreakers were practicing for an upcoming one-team tournament. Then, Tysa and Kai started arguing. That was pretty ordinary. Then, Tysa left-hooked Kai, which was pretty ordinary. Then Kai didn't respond because Tysa knocked him unconscious which was ordin—what? Unconscious? That isn't ordinary! Let me read this…yep! He's unconscious! We'll give Kai a few minutes to wake up.
Ok, he's not waking up. Cue dialogue!
"Tysa! How hard did you hit him!" Tyson asked after about ten minutes past.
"Not that hard! I think…" Tysa muttered.
"So…should we be concerned?" Max questioned.
"Uh…" the rest of the team was quiet. A few more minutes passed and Kai still didn't wake up.
"Ok, I think we should be concerned now…" Max finally said.
"What should we do, you guys?" Ray asked.
"Maybe Tysa finally gave him brain trauma."
"If I did, Tyson, he would've been dead a while ago, but he's still breathing."
"Maybe you knocked him into a coma."
"You too, Ray? Do you guys have no faith in me!"
"I really think we should be concerned, you guys…"
"Hey, if Kai doesn't wake up, would we get an extra day to find another beyblader?" Tyson asked.
"I don't know."
"Well, considering you're the one who knocked him out in the first place…"
"Should I knock you out as well, Tyson?" Tyson shuddered, knowing his sister would do that in a heartbeat.
"Maybe we should take him inside."
"Why, Ray?" Tysa asked.
"People might think that there's a dead body…"
"Ray!"
"I'm kidding, Tysa! I'm kidding!"
"Now should we be concerned?"
Ok, let's fast forward because there will be about another hour of useless dialogue and wondering until Kai wakes up, and I doubt you want to read an hours worth of useless dialogue.
"Unnnnhh…" Kai groaned.
"Hey! He's coming to, you guys!" Tyson called everyone over.
"See, look! I didn't kill him!" Tysa cheered. Kai still had a sleepy look on his face as he sat up.
"Hey, you ok?" Ray asked.
"Uh…I don't know…" Kai looked from person to person with wide, confused eyes.
"We thought that you were a goner for a minute there, buddy!" Tyson told him. Kai still had a confused look on his face.
"Hey…uh…I have a question…"
"What is it?" Ray asked.
"Uh…Who am I?"
Now, we'll fast forward again because the rest of the team is freaking out, and I doubt you really want to read their various ways of freaking out. Also, I don't really feel like typing their freak outs.
"You…really can't remember who you are?" Tysa asked, fearful.
"No…not a thing." Kai said.
"Then…then how about this?" Tyson showed Kai his Dranzer. Kai looked at it peculiarly.
"What…is this?" Kai asked. "Some sort of giant top?"
Now we'll fast forward again because the rest of the team is freaking out again. This is not a good day for them. :)
"Huh?"
"What is it?" Max asked.
"I heard something about…fast forwarding…"
Ack! The amnesiac Kai can still partially hear me!
"See! Hear that!" Kai started looking around for the voice. (uh oh…)
"Great, Tysa. You made him crazy too." Tyson narrowed his eyes at his sister.
"Shut up!" Tysa yelled.
Shoot…
The Bladebreakers then spent the rest of the day trying to snap Kai out of his amnesia. They even let Tysa punch him again. Unfourtunatly, nothing worked, although Kai did remember how to beyblade…
After a while, Kai remembered where he lived and managed to go home. Tysa still felt guilty, so she went to Kai's mansion the next day to see if he was ok.
"Who is it?" Kai said as he opened the door. At least, Tysa thought it was Kai. He didn't have his signature outfit on: blue marks on his cheeks and his outfit. Instead he had in a single blue earring, a blue t-shirt, and jeans. Tysa's jaw dropped.
"K-Kai!"
"Oh…um…Tysa, right?" At first, Tysa thought he actually remembered her. "That's what one of the other guys said?" Tysa sighed.
"Yeah." She said. "How are you doing?" Kai shrugged.
"Pretty good, except for the fact I can't remember anything."
"Oh…yeah." Tysa's chest started to hurt.
"Do you want to come in?" Kai asked as he moved out of the doorway for her.
"Um…ok." Tysa sat unnerved on a couch as Kai brought in tea.
"Here. This is your favorite, right?" Kai asked as he gave her some.
"Uh…yeah. How did you know?" Tysa asked as she took it.
"I don't know." Kai shrugged. "I guess I just…remembered." Tysa looked down in her teacup. Kai sighed sadly. "This isn't how I normally act, is it?" Tysa looked up at him quickly.
"Uh…well…" she sighed and looked back in her teacup. "…no. It's just so…"
"Different?" Kai finished. Tysa looked at him compassionately. He was looking to the side at the floor. Tysa sighed again. If she hadn't gotten so angry at him, he wouldn't have forgotten who he was…and she would never see him dress like this. Tysa almost thought he looked kind of…cute. Tysa's eyes widened to her own thoughts. She had never described a guy as cute before, not even male babies!
Oy, this amnesia thing is making me lose it…
"Tysa?" Kai asked as Tysa stood up and grabbed his arm. "W-what are you…"
"Come on, Kai." She said, although mentally kicking herself for saying this. "We're going out."
It's the least I can do…
Tysa hated to admit it but…she had a nice time. They did things that couples would normally do on dates: movies, ice cream in the park, that sort of thing. Plus, there was the fact that the other Kai probably wouldn't have the nerve to do this. Soon, it was sunset and Tysa and Kai were walking through a forest clearing.
"What is it, Kai?" The new, kind, talkative Kai was now quiet all of a sudden.
"I don't know…I just like this sunset I guess. Almost makes me want to draw a picture of it…" Kai looked up at the sky, and Tysa looked at him.
Kai…she thought as he looked back at her with a warm smile. Tysa managed a smile as well. This is nice, but…he isn't really the guy I like…just a kinder version of him…Tysa sighed guiltily. She remembered when she wanted Kai to act like this, when they would argue more.
"Hey, Tysa?" Kai asked, taking Tysa away from her thoughts.
"Yeah?"
"Can we meet back here tomorrow at this time? I want to show you something."
"Uh…sure, I guess…"
"Great." Kai said as he kissed Tysa on the cheek. "See you later." Kai then walked away. Tysa looked at his back until she couldn't see him again. She wasn't liking this Kai more was she? Tysa sighed. This wasn't a good day.
The next morning, Tysa had the same distant look all day; it put her brother on edge. He even went as far as 'pretending' to throw Kairi in the trash. Tysa just sighed wistfully and the Kairi spirit angrily attacked Tyson.
"Tyson! What's with the melancholy!" Hilary asked when she came over. Her intention was to visit Tysa, but she was too deep in thought. So she noticed a very depressed Tyson in pain.
"Do you see my sister!"
"Yeah…"
"I tried everything! Even burning a pan! There's no reaction! All she does is sigh and act so….so…distant!"
"Did you try talking to her, Tyson?"
"She's my twin sister! Don't you think that was the first thing I tried!" Hilary admitted that it could be true. Tyson sighed. "We used to share everything, but now…" He looked up at Hilary. "Can you talk to her? Please? You're a girl…you can probably understand what's happening…" Hilary looked at a very earnest and concerned Tyson. She gulped. Tyson never looked like this before.
He must be really worried about his sister…
"I…just don't know anymore, Hilary…" Tysa said when the two girls were sitting alone outside. "I mean…before, I liked Kai—before he got the amnesia—and now, he's completely different. I mean, he bought me an ice cream cone!"
"So, what do you think about this?" Hilary asked.
"I…don't know. I like the new, kind, out-going, compassionate Kai…but I miss the tough, quiet, beyblading Kai as well…Hilary!" Tysa cried.
"Well…do you think this is for the better?"
"That's what I'm confused about."
"Hmm…you're cheating on Kai with himself."
"We weren't even together, Hilary! Are you helping or not!" Tysa yelled angrily.
Although I can help the guilt that…I am.
Tysa spent the rest of the time listening to "Unfaithful" by Rihanna on her mp3(yes, they have Rihanna albums in Japan. I checked). Tysa sighed on how accurate the song was to her situation.
And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying…
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be…
A murderer…
The memory I have of Kai…Tysa thought wistfully, Is it…dying? And this new Kai is there?
Tysa almost felt like crying.
At the time decided, Tysa ran into the clearing. Kai was already waiting for her.
"Am I late?" Tysa huffed.
"Nope. I'm just early." Kai told her. Tysa noticed Kai was holding a blue sketchbook.
Kai's sketchbook…Tysa remembered how often Kai would draw sunsets and sighed internally.
"So…um, what did you want me to come here for?" Tysa asked.
"Here." He led her to a nice clearing between the sunset and Kai's tree—the tree he often leaned against when he drew. "Stand here." He said as he went to the tree.
"What's going on?" Tysa asked.
"I'm going to draw you, of course." Kai turned his head around and smiled. Tysa made a slight blush. She had to admit that she liked Kai's smile.
"Uh…why do you want to? Draw me, I mean." Tysa asked as Kai sat against the tree.
"Because you look nice against the sky." Kai told her simply as he started to draw. Tysa let a small blush reach her face again. More memories of the previous Kai reached her. Kai would normally blush and stammer out the complement, which the new Kai could say them normally.
For some reason…it feels less special…
"Done." Kai said. Tysa blinked. She must've been thinking so much, she wasn't noticing the time that passed. Kai stood up, surprising Tysa.
"Hey, can't I see it?" Tysa asked as she ran up to Kai. Kai smiled devilishly.
"Nope." He said.
"Hey!" Tysa said as she reached for the sketchbook. But instead of her hand reaching Kai's sketchbook, her mouth reached Kai's. He pulled her close to him and fell back with a moan. Tysa moaned when his back reached the ground with her on top of him.
This…feels familiar…Kai thought. Have I…have we done this before? All of a sudden, his mind became hazy, and then, just as fast, all these memories came back to him. This is…who I was…no…
Who I am.
Suddenly, Kai stopped kissing Tysa.
"Kai?" Tysa asked as she looked at the one beneath her. Kai's eyes were closed and he looked oddly like the day when Tysa had knocked him out, expect with different clothes and his arms were still around her. "Kai?" Tysa asked again, more worried when he didn't answer.
Holy crap, how strong am I!
"Kai—aiiii!" Tysa was pressured onto Kai's mouth. He forced his tongue into her mouth and she moaned as the kiss became more passionate.
This almost feels…how Kai used to kiss…After a while, Kai let Tysa go.
"Kai?" Tysa asked quietly.
"Do I look like anyone else?" Kai scowled.
Wait, scowled? The other Kai didn't do that so that means…oh, thank the lord, Kai is back! Damn, the other Kai scared both me and Tohru-chan!
"Well…" Tysa smirked, relieved that her Kai was back. "With those clothes on you look like a respected member of society." Kai scowled again.
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me." He said pulling Tysa closer to him.
"And there was one way I knew it was you…" Tysa mumbled as she was pulled down.
"Mmm?"
"Your hand's on my ass." She gave a small smirk and laugh. "The other you was too much of a gentleman to do so."
"Hmph. If you liked him that much…" Kai started to separate from Tysa.
"I was kidding, Kai. Although, I'll try to give you amnesia when you really get me angry." Tysa said as Kai pulled her closer again. "He was actually…kind of…"
"Didn't I say shut up and kiss me?"
After a while, Kai and Tysa started walking through the clearing in the forest.
"Tysa?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you hear someone thanking the lord earlier?" (oh, no…he can hear me again!)
"You heard voices when you had amnesia as well…did I hit your head harder than I thought?"
"No! I always…nevermind."
"Hey, Kai?"
"What?"
"How long have you had those clothes?"
"Huh?" Kai then took the time to realize what he was wearing. "Why am I—"
"Hey, I think you look good in them…just go back to your usual."
"Thank you for your approval." Kai said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.
"So how long have you had those?"
"What?"
"How long have you had those clothes?" Tysa said slower.
"Uh…not that long." Kai blushed.
"Then, what were they for?"
"Not important." Kai shook his head. "So, what'd you and everyone else do yesterday?"
"Nothing really. Practice was cancelled because you had amnesia. Oh, and…we went on a date."
"You went on a what with my amnesiac body!"
"A date. Why?" Tysa smirked. "Jealous of yourself?"
"No!" Damn, yes! That's what I got these clothes for, and I can't even remember that…
Tysa shrugged.
"So, did you kiss him—er, me?"
"Just once. Then you came back."
"Hmph." Well, there's my accomplishment. Two to one…
"Hey, why don't you come in?" Tysa asked when they arrived at her house. "I bet brother will want to see you dress normally." Kai scowled.
"I'll come in when I lose all my dignity." He started to walk away. Tysa smiled and went inside.
"Tysa!"
"Aaah!" Tysa yelled in alarm as Hilary pulled her to the side. "What the-"
"Was that Kai? How much amnesia did you give the guy!" Hilary asked.
"Don't worry. He's back to normal. More or less." Tysa assured her friend.
"Hey, Tysa?"
"Yeah?"
"If Kai can become considerate, can you give your brother amnesia?"
"Hey, I'm gonna use this power for my own purposes."
"Don't you mean the 'greater good'?"
"Ah, that's boring, Hilary."
Meanwhile, Kai was flipping through his sketchbook for no apparent reason, when he saw a picture that he didn't draw. I mean, he did draw it, but he couldn't remember when he asked Tysa to be in the picture.
Wait…did I draw this? Kai's internal jaw dropped. What kind of person was I!
Bwa ha ha ha ha…
"Hey…who's laughing?"
ooops…
If you made it to the end then, congrats! You've made it! If i freaked you out with the new Kai, then I did my job. If not, I'll just make it worse for you! Have a nice day. :)
