Together in the end
Note: This is YAOI. There are two males in love. If you do not like it, DON'T READ IT. You have the choice to leave now. I nor any one else is making you read this. I DO NOT own Beyblade or any of the characters.
Also, I have re-read the chapters 1 & 2. They are fixed and have been spell-checked. I've also fixed the names where I misspelled some of them. So, if you have read the story before, please go back and re-read. It should look a lot better.

CHAPTER 4
Kai and Ray walked in to his aunt's doctors' office.
Ray: "Aunt Marella, (Mar-L-a) how are you?"
Ray went straight up to the chuffy woman, hugging her.
Marella: "Oh, I've been fine, deary. You know me, I hardly ever get into anything. How have you been, sweetie? Don't tell me you're sick."
Ray shook his head.
Ray: "No, I'm afraid it isn't that simple. I'm worried about that damn family curse of ours. You remember that boy I was dating back in high school, right? Well, he and I got back together last night. This is him."
He brought Kai up to her, holding his hand tightly.
Ray: "And, well, I was hoping you'd make sure there was nothing wrong with him. With any luck, and all the hope in the world, the curse passes over me but you can never be too safe. You don't mind, do you?"
She smiles.
Marella: "Well, certainly not, child. What'd ever make you think I would mind? Been hope'n you'd finally come to your senses and find out that, no matter the danger to your life or the one you love's, it's never worth giving up the love you have for someone, as long as they understand and are alright with the danger that they're getting into with the relationship. With us, you don't just get us. You get the curse along with it. You know?"
Ray smiled and nodded, hugging his aunt.
Ray: "Thanks, aunt Marella. That helps me a lot."
She smiled, hugging him back before pulling back.
Marella: "Alright, let's go ahead and check this young chap out, shall we?"
She took Kai in to her office, checking his blood work, doing way more than a full physical. It went on for hours. Kai thought that he'd never get done. She wouldn't even wait for the results of one test before doing another.
After several hours of testing, almost every thing there possibly was, she was holding all the results looking though them.
Ray: "Well?"
He and Kai sat their together in her office, holding hands. Kai looked like week old crap ran over with a steam roller, but they were both were too worried about the test to care for what it looked like.
Marella: "Well, everything seems to be fine."
She continues to read through the papers, making sure to read each test carefully.
Kai and Ray were both relieved at this, hugging and kissing one another.
Marella stopped, looking over a sheet for the second time in a row.
Marella: "Oh no."
She let out a small sigh.
Kai and Ray turned immediately to her.
Ray: "W-what is it? Please tell us."
Marella: "Well I'm not sure what it is but...."
She paused, sighing louder this time.
Kai: "Just tell us. We need to know what it is at least. That, or at least, what's happening to me if there's something going on inside me."
She nodded.
Marella: "You're right....It seems that your body's.... how do I say this... slowly deteriorating at a rapid rate. It seems that your body is slowly shutting itself down. With it going like it is, I'd be surprised if you made it another day. Two, at the most, if your body tries fighting it off with the help of medication. But, you see, we've never had a case like yours, so we've never been able to test the medication on a subject like you. It'd be too far of a big risk even trying to see if it worked, it might make it progress further."
Ray felt tears well up in his eyes. He'd finally come out with it, got his man, and had made love to him. And, now, here, he finds out he's going to die because of his family's curse.
Ray: "If only I hadn't told you. You wouldn't be dieing now."
Ray covered his face, trying to hold back the tears that were stinging in the back of his eyes and running down his cheeks freely, as if nothing were in their way.
Kai pulled Ray in to his chest, petting his hair softly.
Kai: "No, you did the right thing. We both did. Come on, sweetie, let's go do something and figure out what to do, okay?"
Ray nodded slowly before wiping his eyes and standing.
Ray: "Alright."
Kai smiled to Marella.
Kai: "Thank you, aunt Marella. It was nice meting you even if it's my only time I'll ever see you. Thank you for your help, but I think it's time we leave. I need to finish up some last minute things."
Marella nodded, coming over, embracing both of them.
Marella: "I'm sorry, boys. I wish there was something I could do for the two of you. I wish, somehow, that this wouldn't have happened to you both. I wish that it had, somehow, missed Ray with the curse."
Kai smiles warm and gently.
Kai: "It's alright. We love one another. That is all that matters. We told one another the truth finally. Take care of your self, alright? We'll be fine."
She smiles back at him as they said their goodbyes and left. She knew it. She'd never see them again. Whether they survived this or not, she'd seen the last of them.
Marella: "Goodbye, my loves. Be careful."
----------------------------------------------Kai's apartment--------------------------------------------------
Ray sat beside Kai on his bed as he typed out the last bit of his story.....his last story. They'd figured out what they were going to do, and they were setting their plan into motion.
Kai smiled softly after finishing the story.
Kai: "I'm done with the story....our story."
Kai leaned over, kissing Ray deeply.
Ray kissed back just as intently.
Kai smiled, grabbing his lap top and smiling at Ray.
Kai: "Shall we go?"
Ray nodded.
--------------------Tyson's house-----------
There was a knock at the door and Tyson rushed to it, opening the door, not ready for what he seen on the other side. He stared at Kai somewhat openly. He looked like shit.
Tyson: "Kai? Ray? What's going on? One looks like death-warmed-over and the other looks like he's about ready to cry a river."
Ray smiled softly, trying to push off his ever-closing-in train of thought.
Kai shook his head at Tyson's comment.
Kai: "Well, if you'd been through what we have since yesterday evening, you wouldn't look much better. But, we're not here because of that. Remember, last night, I told you that you owed me one and you couldn't ask me any questions of why. I need you to do me that favor now."
Kai handed Tyson his laptop.
Kai: "My next and last chapter is there. All you have to do is click okay when it comes time. We'll call you here in a little bit to tell you to send it, alright?"
Tyson looked at him, worried.
Tyson: "But Kai wh-."
Kai cut him off.
Kai: "You told me sure last night. Please, don't go back on that word now. Please, Tyson, you're the only one I trust this to. Just do what I ask this one time, please."
Tyson hesitated but finally nodded.
Tyson: "Alright, but you better explain this later on."
Kai smiled, pulling him in to a hug softly. Then Ray took his turn hugging Tyson.
Tyson waved as they turned, going back down the stairs to leave.
Tyson: "Bye, you two. Remember to call at least and explain what's up with this later, alright?"
Kai nodded as he and Ray waved bye and got in, driving away.
--------------------------------------------Black Night Corp.-------------------------------------------------
Kai and Ray easily got in to their building. No one even said anything as they held hands going into the elevator to the top floor. They stood there at the edge, looking over it as the sun started to set slightly.
Kai looked over to Ray.
Kai: "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Ray nodded, looking over the tops of the buildings below them and watching the people go by. He finally looked to Kai.
Ray: "Yes, yes it is."
Kai pulled Ray to him. Holding him as they looked over the ledge.
Kai: "I used to come up here all the time when I was upset and I didn't know what to do, that or when I had writers' block. It's always been able to clear my head ironically enough."
Ray chuckles, leaning back in to Kai.
Ray: "To think of all the time we've wasted."
Kai took Ray's chin, cupping it in his hand.
Kai: "We didn't waste any time, my Kitten. We made names for ourselves and made sure we'd be remembered for something."
Ray smiled as Kai pulled him for a kiss.
----------------------------------------------------Tyson-------------------------------------------------------
His phone rang and he quickly picked it up.
"Hello?"
A soft voice was coming from the other end.
"Submit it and send it out in five minutes? Alright, this best be important for you to be keeping me in the dark like this, you know, Kai."
Tyson shifted, going over to where he'd laid Kai's laptop.
Tyson: "Alright, Kai. I'll talk to you later. Yeah, bye to you too."
He hung up the phone, running his finger over the touch pad of the laptop, waking it. He hit submit, going through the windows that Kai had left up for him. Adultfanfiction, Fanfiction, his Myspace, LiveJournal, and Gaia Journal until he came to the last one after closing out all the rest as he was going through. It was a letter to him, and all their friends, from the two of them.
_______The Letter______
Dear friends and loved ones,
I'm sorry to have to do this in this way, but it would have been to hard to tell you all in person if all of you could have made it out. You see, I'm dying. My body is slowly deteriorating. The reason, all those years ago, Ray dumped me was because of a family curse that doesn't come into effect until they're of age, which is 16. That's what's caused my illness. We don't know what it is, just that it can't be fixed. So, we're going out just like my story. It's the story of Ray and I. Every last detail. Please make sure everyone reads this. Tyson, sorry to put this burden on your shoulders and for not telling you. But, you would have just tried stopping us. Tell Hilary I'm sorry that I couldn't say bye in person and that all of my cooking recipes are on here for her. Tell everyone else that we say sorry as well. We love you all and we're sorry we have to leave you this way. But, this way, we'll be together in the end, and that's all that matters, isn't it?
Love, your friends,
Kai and Ray
---------------------------------------------------Kai and Ray-------------------------------------------------
Kai tossed his cell over the rail without a care after hanging up with him, smiling at Ray softly, but sad. Ray was smiling at him as well with tears in his eyes.
Kai: "You sure about this? You don't have to if you don't wont to. You can still have a life even if I'm gone."
Ray came up, wrapping his arms around Kai's neck.
Ray: "I remember that one of us said a 'life without you isn't a life at all.'. Isn't that right, My Love."
Kai smiled back at him, softly pulling him up into a deep kiss.
Kai: "Together in the end?"
He held up his hand before Ray as if to give a high-five, only with his fingers open.
Ray smiled raising his hand up to Kai's, intertwining their fingers together, making it look as if they were about to dance on the rooftop.
Ray: "Together in the end."
They kissed deeply at the building's edge, slowly falling over the side, holding onto one another tightly as they fell. Their eyes closed tightly and still in their deep kiss, they hit the concrete.
~End~
So, what did you all think? I'm normally not a tragedy story writer but I got this idea in my head and, like any of my other ideas, I had to put it down and see what it would come out to be. I think you can see where it has gotten its name. Together In The End, they are. They die so they can be together. One didn't want to leave the other alone. They had been separated for years and finally got back to one another. They weren't going to get broken apart anymore by anything. I hope you enjoyed. If you've read the old chapters one and two, please re-read them. I had my boyfriend read over them for me and fix them to make sure I had no mistakes.
Review, or favorite as you please. Thank you for reading. =^-^=
