Ok, the second chapter! And Fillyrox, you leave chainsaws out of this! If I die, then no one can finish this! So, fans, if i don't come back for at most like...a month and a half...it's not just my friend's fault...

Chapter 2: An Old and New Friend

The Wyatt look-alike stared at Tysa.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked. Tysa stared for a while, then pulled on his cheeks (face ones!). "Owowow! That hurts, Ms. Tysa!"

"You…are real…" Tysa said, still in her state of shock.

"Well, yeah…"

"Who…are you?"

"Aaw, and here I thought you remembered me. I'm Wyatt Shimizu, remember?" Tysa gulped. She did know him, but…he had died a year ago.

…didn't he?

"Oh, yeah…Wyatt…heheh." Tysa said, laughing to not make Wyatt think what she was thinking. "Sorry. Temporary mind lapse. Been hanging out with my brother too much this summer."

"Haha. It's ok. Oh." Wyatt stopped and checked his watch. "Darn it, school's gonna start soon…"

"….I'll take you."

"Huh? How?" Wyatt asked.

"Well…" Tysa sighed. "They did get bigger after my battle with Brooklyn, should I should be able to carry other people now…" With that, Tysa's wings unveiled themselves. They were slightly bigger and then edge feathers were longer. It was alright, because Wyatt had seen her wings before, on accident. "Ok…ready?"

"Um…are you sure it's ok, Ms. Tysa?" Wyatt asked, looking at the wings.

"Yah, it's fine." Tysa said, grabbing his stomach and flying off to the school. After a while, they landed a few yards back. "There." Wyatt gave Tysa a bow.

"Thank you, Ms. Tysa." Wyatt said.

"Yeah…Wyatt?"

"Yes?"

"Be…be careful…ok?"

---a while later---

"Oh, Tysa." An elderly man said as he opened the door. "How are you today?" Tysa smiled at seeing Kai's butler.

"I'm pretty good. Um…is Kai here?" she asked softly.

"Actually, he went to his old hideout…er, I forget the name."

"It's ok." Tysa reassured.

I already have a good idea…

Kai sighed as he walked through the old Blade Shark base. It was abandoned now; it had been since he left. He turned to the side and saw the rusted old ring where he had really battled Tyson for the first time. And where Tysa yelled at him for what he was doing.

You find enjoyment in this!

After that moment, they never really got on the right foot. Both of their negative personalities could easily contradict the other to the point of annoyance, but Tysa was almost always the first to turn to violence.

Even if we got on each other's nerves a lot…she still…liked me…

Kai thought back to the point where he was on a sinking piece of ice too years ago, right before he returned Black Dranzer. Tysa was the one to reach her hand out to him.

"You mean, after all I did…you don't mind? You don't care?"

"What I care about right now is you, Kai!"

Kai sighed, thinking about it.

I wonder…if she still cares as much…

"Kai!" Kai turned around to Tysa. She looked tired, but she smiled. "Even without help, I thought I might find you here."

"Well? What do you want?" Kai asked, but started to regret it as Tysa's face became upset.

"It's…it's…Wyatt."

"I can't believe you dragged me here." Kai growled as they waited in the forest near the school.

"But, it's really him! I swear!"

"Did you lose it Tysa? Wyatt died." Kai said, with a hint of bitter in his own voice. "I can't believe it." Kai started to turn around.

"Look! There he is!" Tysa cried, pointing. Kai turned around and his eyes widened.

"Probably just a look alike." Kai said shakily.

"Really. Wyatt!" Hearing his name, Wyatt turned to the bushes and ran up to Tysa and Kai.

"Ms. Tysa! Kai! Long time no see!" Wyatt greeted. Kai snapped out of his shock.

"Excuse us for a moment." Kai said, grabbing Tysa's arm and dragging her to out of ear shot.

"See! That's Wyatt!" Tysa stated.

"…But how?"

"Huh?"

"You didn't think how Wyatt could be standing in front of us like that?"

"Hmm…" Tysa thought for a while then turned to Wyatt. "Hey, Wyatt!"

"Huh?"

"Do you remember anything that happened last year?"

"Tysa!" Kai hissed and covered her mouth. "What type of question is that!"

"It's worth a shot, right?" Tysa murmured as Kai removed his hand a bit.

"Of course I do!" Wyatt answered excitedly, then hung his head in sorrow. "I really hope you can forgive me, Kai…for what I did." Kai stared at Wyatt, then turned around and started to leave.

"Hey, Kai!" Tysa called before turning to Wyatt. "I'm sorry, Wyatt."

"It's ok. I have to get back in inside soon anyway." Wyatt reassured. Tysa nodded and an after Kai.

"What is with you!" Tysa cried.

"Nothing, besides the fact that a guy who's supposedly dead came back to life with no questions asked!"

"Well, maybe—eh, I don't know! Arrr…I'm sick of arguing with you, Kai!" Tysa yelled, bringing her hands to her lowered head. There was a moment of silence between the two as she brought her hands slowly down, but kept her head in the position. "….what did I do?" she asked quietly. "…because whatever I did, I'm sorry…really, Kai…" More silence. "…I better get home soon. You're probably sick of talking to me. I'll…see you later, I guess…" Tysa started to walk off.

Stop her, you idiot! Stop her now, before it's too late!

"T—" Kai reached out an arm and stopped, as if Tysa had become so distant so quickly. He slowly pulled back his arm and looked at his hand. After a while he punched the wall with it.

I am…such an idiot…

"Oh, welcome home, Tysa." Hitoshi greeted as he saw his sister walk in the house. "Grandpa and Tyson are training, if you're wondering." As if confirming that, a loud 'yeow' was heard from the dojo. Hitoshi took a deep breath, anticipating Tysa's cynical remark.

"Hmph. Those idiots. Neither of them learn." Played Tysa's voice in Hitoshi's mind. Contrary to Hitoshi's thoughts, Tysa didn't say anything and walked into her room. Hitoshi stared.

"Tysa? Are you ok?" his reply was the quiet shutting of a door.

Stupid Kai! When did he start to…hate me…Well, he probably doesn't but…it feels like it. Like he's trying to drive me away from him. But what did I do? What did I do…Tysa sighed as she fell onto her bed. After a while, she took out the now finished letter from her pocket. She sighed and looked at it.

I wish…you were here, Ray. She thought wistfully, looking at the letters at the waste basket.

Gee, this must be the most thinking Tysa has done in her head all day (if you count the previous chapter, of course). By this time, I would need an aspirin. And for those who haven't yet, you should read Dev's Record in my one shot collection because after a request, I finally found a way to put "Dev" in the series, but I honestly don't want to freak people out with an entirely new character, so, for those who haven't read it yet, READ IT
