Okay I got the request weeks ago and let me be the first to beg for forgiveness. I am so sorry for putting this up so late but um to be honest I forgot after I lost the first document to rewrite it.
-sorry-
Anyway if you don't know what I'm talking about, I got a review from Blood or Water:
Hi, I really REALLY like this fic and the way you described tyson and hiro's relationship... I might be selfish in asking this but... could you maybe add a chapter about what happens after the justise five? And maybe one about during it, like after Kai's battle or something? I totally get that it's a rediculous question but when I read this fic I just kinda wanted to read 'the rest'... even though I've seen the series... it just kinda doesn't 'feel' finished...
I told this awesome reviewer yes than let them down. I am a terrible person. But anyway I hope that they will take this and enjoy!

(A/N: this starts off right when Kai rejoins the group at senset with his new Dranzer: day before his battle with Brooklyn)
So without furthere adue:
Road to Resolution: Left or Right
Kai reached up and grabbed his blade smoothly as Tyson turned Dragon in his hands.
A feeling of warmth immediately came to him as Dranzer tried to steady her master for what was about to happen. The eyes of the others hit him hard in shock before coming cold with hatred and fear. They didn't trust him but that didn't matter. Kai didn't care if they forgave him or not, he had only eyes for a selective group, his team. Rei, Max, Kenny, but most importantly Tyson. He knew the male had not taken the change of events well and Kai didn't blame him.
When he sat in the alleyway Kai had made a decision to break away from everyone. His eyes were open to the light with in the dark; he saw his entire life pass him by and he hated it. It was better off for him to just disappear.
But something had forced him to go see Tala one last time. Guilt probably for not standing up for the red head, staying by his side like they had been years before when they were both young and naïve. Whatever it was, didn't matter now, he realized because he had seen the blade and knew what Tyson wanted. And it was exactly what he needed.
"Kai," Tyson forced the smile onto his face. He was glad to see the other male but the feeling of anger boiled over in his mind. Of course he wanted him back, Kai was his trump card against them all, his blader X, but what about everything. Mixed emotions traveled in his eyes but he forced them to stop putting on the happy go lucky mask.
It hadn't failed him so far.
"Glad to see you've finally decided to make it," the blunette grinned from ear to ear.
Kai stared at him. Something was different, Tyson had changed. His eyes the male realized, the boy had been hurting more than he had ever dreamed. This was tearing him up inside.
"What are you doing here Kai?" Max's voice held no anger towards the other male but confusion. Wasn't he with Boris?
"Tyson and I left a beyblade for him just in case," Kenny smiled. "Looks like Tyson was right after all he did come back."
Kai turned towards the other male who stared at the ground with a sad smile on his face. He had known the entire time? Had Tyson really known the pain and despair that he had endured for days in shame on the streets? Did he realize how much he needed this?
Eyes met his and Kai dropped the stare but was still shocked. The male had changed.
"So Kai's blader X?" Rei looked at Kenny who smiled. "Dranzer's coming back full force."
"Good," the long haired neko-jin laughed. "We were wondering when you'd come back Kai!"
Had he? The other male couldn't help but run the question over. The only person who had reached out was Tyson, the only person who had known that he would go to Tala and see the blade was the dragon holder. No they didn't know at all.
"I don't like it," Lee stood. "He's already traded sides with them before how do you know he won't throw the match?"
Kai looked at him silently. Good question coming from the lion. He wasn't even sure why he was here let alone what he would do. Maybe he was right.
Tyson stared at the ground a small smile still hung on his lips. The pain was still clenching his heart but it loosened slightly. Lee was right, how did he know that Kai was back for good? How trust worthy was the male.
He glanced up at the duel haired man and saw him meet his eyes and he knew. After all Kai had been betrayed by his family too, he knew the pain in his eyes and Tyson was sure he was naked to the other male but it didn't matter.
They waited for his answer he realized. Lately he had been loosing it slowly letting the mask of normal fade. They'd guess soon. They'd figure out his secrets.
His hand lightly touched his wrists beneath the thin cloth. All of a sudden all the midnight haired blader wanted was a piece of glass, anything sharp to make the pain go away.
"Kai's our blader," he voiced. Forcing the smile, "Come on guys he's one of us."
Lee muttered but didn't say anything else.
"Besides Garlands tomorrow," Max seemed to be convincing himself that Kai was back Tyson realized. "Pay back time for you I guess."
That night at Tysons house Kai walked into the yard as the clock struck two in the morning. He should be sleeping he knew, along with all the other bladers spread across the house in various rooms but sleep evaded him.
The tone in their voices rang in his ears. They were all mistrusting trying to believe in him again, just like after Russia but this time there wasn't a grandfather or past to fall on. It had been his own selfish needs, a will to fight Tyson, his true rival, that had pushed him into BEGA. No one understood that fact.
Except Tyson.
As the night had gone on the other male had sounded completely faithful in him and Kai knew it was true. He had full trust in him know and an understanding of why he had done it, an acceptance.
There was something missing though. The Tyson Kai knew was gone to be replaced by someone else. The boy was too out of it, depressed, ill, and hiding it very well, too well. Kai thought back to Hiro slightly, while the other boy had accepted his leaving actually looking forward to when they would meet how had he accepted Hiro's betrayal? His hero?
Kai sighed in the clear night and almost jumped when he heard a slight sob. Walking cautiously he felt the presence in the yard hiding behind a tree. A familiar sense came over him and he relaxed slightly, he knew this person.
Tyson didn't know what had possessed him but he had come outside anyway, the night chilling slightly yet calming. Sitting behind the tree he watched the blood clot again on his wrist. Why was he doing this? It was so stupid.
But so was everything else in his life.
Was he wrong? Was Hiro right? Maybe he had been the one who had betrayed his brother. Maybe he was the one at fault. At least Kai was back. The thought sent more tears to his eyes and he let them fall.
A noise behind him caught his attention and he didn't flinch as Kai came into his view walking in front of him before turning around to face him. Tyson didn't bother to hide the tears or the knife in his left hand. Who cared who saw his shame?
The male in front of him stood silent, no words, nothing but a simple object standing still. Like the tree he was leaning on.
Silence. The noise that came from it wrecked Tyson's mind and he forced himself up. At least the rustling of the leaves created something in the wavelengths. He stood up straight, his sleeve still rolled up showing the new lines he had created.
Kai stood in front of him glancing down to the arm as if just seeing the dried blood before clenching his fists slightly. He was mad Tyson thought. Odd, Kai never showed emotion out of the ring.
He rose his head slightly and Tyson was almost taken back by the raw emotion that caked the others eyes. His legs grew weak along with his arms and he dropped the knife…and the mask.
Kai brought the other male close wondering what had happened to him in this short time. Why hadn't he seen it? Why had he helped push him to this point? His hands gripped the other male tighter in a hug as he felt Tyson weep in his arms.
The boy had been lonely for so long. Kai knew how it felt.
Kai's lips touched the others cool cheeks calming him down. A silent tear made its way down his own face as he held the sobbing male for what seemed forever. He knew he should be yelling at him, telling him to stop harming himself, get over it, be strong, move on, something. But nothing would come to him as he stood under the moon with his rival.
The only thing he found himself able to do was comfort the male until the sobs subsided and Tyson backed away whipping his tears. Kai gently lent and grabbed the knife in his left hand holding Tysons right arm inspecting the wounds.
Tyson didn't care. He let Kai hold his arm staring blankly down at it himself. He didn't understand why he did it but he knew it wouldn't be the last time in his heart.
Kai didn't say anything but took off his glove and whipped away the extra blood. He grabbed the other wrist lightly and walked Tyson back into the house silently.
A thousand things ran through Kai's mind. Tyson, what he was doing, how he had failed him and the others, the struggles they'd all gone through, everything. He put Tyson in bed, the boy didn't struggle and Kai knew he was lost in another world all together, he could see it in his eyes.
He only hoped that Tyson could bring himself back one day. Only he himself could do it.
As he walked into the kitchen he washed the knife destroying any evidence and leaned on the counter. The clock struck two forty five and he made this vow in the night.
He would take down his opponent, he would destroy Hiro's foundation for staying with BEGA, and bring Tyson's fighting spirit, not the mask tomorrow in the ring.
He would fight the only man that stood between the brothers and break the bar he represented holding them apart. At the same time he would reform his team and the respect he had for himself and his life.
It was time to rebuild everything anew from the ashes. This was the last time he would turn his back on anyone he loved again.
Brooklyn was going to have to be his first challenge in the new life. A challenge that would break him or make him.
Tyson had to know that he was not unbeatable.
At the arena Tyson found it hard to keep up his mask as they entered the crowd booing his friend for switching sides. The loudness of their voices tearing into his soul and making it hard to concentrate. He glanced slightly at Kai, the male had changed somehow and he couldn't put his finger on it but Kai seemed resolved somehow. Completed.
When Garland stood to come to the ring Kai shook his head Tyson could hardly believe his ears as the words came out of the mans mouth that he would battle Brooklyn. His team mates around him began to argue but Tyson held back.
Why was Kai doing this? Why was he battling Brookyn? What did he have to prove? Kai was proud but he wasn't crazy. Brooklyn was the perfect blader wasn't he? That's why Hiro had left. The boy glanced aside, even deep in his heart he knew he couldn't beat the orange haired blader.
"Kai," his voice was slightly hoarse as he watched his friend make his way up the steps to battle the other male.
"Tyson," Kai spoke his back to him. "Promise me something."
Tyson narrowed his eyes. "What?"
"No matter what, don't stop this match." With that the male walked up the steps leaving him to look at his back.
What was he doing? Tyson couldn't help but growl. Than his eyes trailed to the other members on the bench. They needed the mask he realized and he slipped it back on.
"Kai's going to kick his butt guys!" He heard his foreign voice cheer and agree with everything everyone else said. But deep in his heart he knew it was over.
As the match started Tyson watched amazed as Kai stood and fought and something lept into him. Kai's fighting spirit probably. But it didn't matter, he spoke to himself. Kai was failing badly to regain anything.
"We have to stop this."
He was barely aware of Rei's whisper but when he saw the two boys get up to interfere calling off the match he felt himself propelled in front of them.
His mask that had been shaking with every hit Kai took forced him to keep his head down as the tears began. His body held out like a barrier between them and the other blader.
When they asked him to move Tyson knew it was the only logical thing to do but something came over him. That wasn't what he said.
Instead he voiced words with more true emotion than he had shown all week not caring that they saw his tears. He spoke of what Kai asked him to do and suddenly he knew.
Kai was doing it for them. For him. But most importantly for himself. Kai was proving to himself that there was a reason for existing that he was alive for some reason.
Tyson watched amazed and envious as the battle raged to its finish and Brooklyn lost. He didn't have anything like that.
As Kai came down he stuttered and began to fall his body broken and dead. Tyson caught the man running before he hit the ground. His voice finally sounding normal as he yelled out the mans name.
"It's your turn Tyson," Kais' voice whispered in his ear and the others couldn't' hear. "You've saved me so many times, now its my turn." With that the male pushed up and limped off.
Your turn, the words turned in his head. He heard his voice call out the males name and demand a battle later.
A genuine smile came across his lips and he was surprised at how good it felt. Suddenly he was in control. Kai walked on down the hall but waved a hand at him. Tyson knew he wouldn't be home but he would come. He would always be back.
That night Tyson sat in his bathroom as the others ate dinner. His blade held in his hands ready to scar his tissue once again. Tomorrow he had Garland to fight. The man who threw Tala into the hospital.
Depressed Tyson looked into the mirror and was surprised at what he saw. His eyes looked deep and old. Much older than he had ever been in his entire life. Tears rolled from them unannounced as a feeling of worthlessness came over him. What was he doing?
The blade fell back into his pocket and he whipped his face. He realized then that he was broken into several pieces. It was time to start healing. He covered up his wrists with his sleeve and walked out without another thought. It was a start.
After his battle with Brooklyn, Tyson felt Kai and Tala watch him. He smirked at the red head but kept his stare at Kai. The man had changed him he realized into something different. All of a sudden it didn't hurt so much.
The pain was gone.
Acceptance for the past, Tyson knew was here finally. He'd proven his point made good on his promise.
He looked at Hiro the man he refused to call brother. His promise made and completed there was no need to see the man anymore and he decided that he didn't want too.
Tyson no longer wanted that man anywhere near him.
The midnight haired man laughed and partied with the rest of the people in the crowd as Kai watched. He smiled slightly but then frowned as he saw the painful look cross both Tyson and Hiro's face as they broke contact.
Tyson was pretending to be okay all over again.
This wasn't suppose to be like this, he thought madly. He had healed the scar that he had left on the boy…but maybe Hiro had left a deeper cut.
The two brothers were fighting their emotions all over again. Until resolution would come they would never be the same Kai realized. Tyson had done his part but what about their part.
It was something that only the two brothers could work out.
Alright Kai finally made up with tyson but the boy still has issues.
Hope it was a good sequeal! Check out the next chapter but don't forget to review. Even though it's a two shot let me know! Critism is always a welcome.
