Dancing In The Dark
Chapter 10 – Kai's been unwell for a while~

Hours later~

How many nightmares must a human being fight in order to feel free from the past? – The blue haired male thought to himself as he struggled to reach over to the bedside table to pick up his IPod Nano. He wanted to turn off this shit Daniel Bedingfield song off before the words in the song really got to him. He'd already fell asleep with the song echoing within his mind.

Yet no matter how hard he pushed himself to reach for the item, his muscles just were not responding. That shit medication must be still in my system – He gasped and squinted with displeasure when the saliva from his mouth trailed its way down his numb face to his eardrum.

The sensation of the warm liquid entering his eardrum made his stomach churn violently. Kai wanted to be sick, but he hadn't got the energy too.

His head dug deeper into the pillow and the darkness of the room was starting to laugh at him. This was the price he was paying for telling everyone to 'piss off.' But just when his crimson eyes began to moisten with devastation, a light entered the room and it demolished those dancing demons in the shadows.

"Kai." Tyson gasped and darted over to his captain in distress.

The blue haired Russian gasped heavily and shifted his weightless head over to the Japanese male. He couldn't feel the relief draining through his body, but Kai mentally felt so much freer now Tyson was here.

The world champion removed the earphones from Kai's ears and turned his iPod off. "Are you alright? Urgh, I knew I shouldn't have left you alone." Tyson commented with his heart rising into his throat. He couldn't believe what he was witnessing before him – a strong man who was letting his past destroy him.

This has to stop! And I will help him defeat these demons, no matter how long it takes!

Tyson shifted the edge of his fingerless glove against Kai's warm saliva to wipe it up smoothly. "I'm not letting you take those tablets anymore Kai." He added and bit down on his lower lip as he shifted his eyes over to the bedside table – there they were, the little monsters.

"And to make sure I follow through with my word, I'm flushing them down the toilet."

"Uh!" Kai groaned in protest and did everything in his power to fight this numbness again. He tried to lift his arm to grab a hold of Tyson's wrist to stop him, but the weakness overpowered him once again.

"Like you can stop me now Kai." The Dragoon controller then got to work -he walked to the other side of the bed and crouched down to pick up the drugs. "You look like you should be in a nut house. Not standing beside me on this team."

"Ty….. Tyson!"

Tyson rolled his crumbling brown eyes and he remained strong as he strolled into the next door bathroom. A flush later, the broad male walked back into the room with a determined expression on his sculptured face.

"It's time to do what I should have done a long time ago Kai, get tough on you." He explained and sat on the bed next to his fragile captain. "I'm not moving from this spot until those tablets have left your system."

How far will he let his self-consciousness push him? Until he can't cope with living? Come on Kai.

From that day, something new struck within Kai's broken and frozen heart. He finally felt a pulse strive through his toned figure and his eyes light up with emotion at the champion who was picking him up. He fell for him, but he just couldn't find it within him to accept or understand it~


Now it was the other way around, Kai couldn't repay the favour to assist the broken Granger. Instead all he could do was sit and sulk within the Japanese mansion which his Grandfather owned.

The blue haired male was under a curphew until the authorities were finished with him. Though that was only 48 hours, it felt like the longest 2 days of his life. The Dranzer beyblader felt trapt and confused, but his body was prepared for the unexpected – sticking up his two fingers and escaping the curphew.

He knew it would be crossing a new boundary that he'd never stepped before, but the thrill of seeing Tyson again was worth the rush of breaking the law.

As the hours slowly passed, Kai sat on the front room sofa like a king who was waiting to be excused from this pointless investigation. He had better things to do and these morans were delaying everything. Still the Bladebreaker captain didn't have a clue as to what was ahead.

The recovering Russian with depression lifted his head when he finally registered what one of the detectives asked of him. "You want what?" He wanted the chief to reinforce his sentence.

The aged man held out his hand towards the Russian and wiggled his fingers. "Give me your beyblade Kai. You may be able to recover the item after the investigation." He repeated impatiently.

"You will have to kill me." Kai lowered his head and closed his eyes. He honestly then added, "Dranzer isn't safe to be held right now."

Which was true, the angry fire beast was burning anyone that came into contact with her space, even her owner, Kai – who wanted to throw the item up the wall in temper. Still no matter how angry he was with the bitbeast, he still adored her like a sister and he was willing to forgive Dranzer within a heartbeat.

"Mr Hiwatari, hand me the beyblade, then we will give you some privacy to change out the torn clothing you are wearing."

"I said no! Are you deaf!"

"Urgh. I heard you were a difficult one." The police chief then turned around to his assistant and leaned his head towards Kai's direction. "Restrain him whilst I remove the blade from him with force."

A heavy huff left Kai's dry throat and his scolded body went numb as the two assistant forced the Hiwatari onto his feet and held him still. "You won't have it will you?" He grinned devilishly and watched the inspector remove the blue beyblade from his warm keychain on his blue trousers.

But within seconds, the aged male's widened and his lips parted. "You weren't joking." He gasped and dropped the beyblade on to the mansion floor.

"I told you so." Kai shrugged off the assistants and opened his eyelids to scan his crimson eyes over the inspectors hand – it was crisp. Good~ "Now where is the team?"

"Why is she doing that? None of the others bit-beasts were this complicated." The head inspector gasped and clenched his burnt hand. "But Mr Hiwatari, you can go get changed now and then come back to answer a few questions. Are you satisfied with the dressing of your wounds that the doctor has provided…"

"Urgh. Yes."


A/N: Thank you everyone for the get well soon messages, I am a lot better than what I was. But my God, wouldn't we all want a friend like that in our lives? I'd love a Tyson to just walk up to me and give me a bitch slap to wake up (I'd tackle him to the floor afterwards mind you aha). But anyways, now we know what the Hiwatari adores the bones of the Granger ;) Isn't it the cutest scene you could read!? Dedicated to my fiancée. Little A Granger.
