Bleeding for you
After their match, Tyson and Leah decide to observe the other teams as they battle.
They sit down in the stands and begin to watch the beybattle that is going on. It's the former BEGA team, consisting of Garland, Ming-Ming, Mystel and Brooklyn (Crusher couldn't be there because of his sister Monica, who is very sick) versus the Blitzkrieg Boys, and the first battle is between Tala and, a little surprisingly, Ming-Ming.
Right now Ming-Ming has the advance and sweat appears on Tala's forehead. Wolborg is being pushed forward by Venus, Ming-Ming's blade, and Tyson looks concerned down at the redhead, and closes his eyes. "Come on, Tala. I know you can do it!" he thinks, tightening his fists. "Look, Tyson!" Leah says with a surprised tone in her voice and Tyson opens his eyes. The tide has turned and now it's suddenly Tala who is in control.
With his Snow Meteor attack (1), he manages to send the opponent's blade out of the dish, and Tala's the winner of the first session. Jazzman announces the result and both Tala and Ming-Ming walks back to their teams. "That was a good match, and I'm glad Tala won. I really can't stand Ming-Ming even though she is "nice" now" Tyson whispers to Leah, with a slight sarcastic tone at the word "nice". "Do you have a problem with her or something?" the brown haired girl asks and smirks at the bluenette.
"You remember what I told you about the BEGA thing, don't you?" Tyson asks, and Leah nods as an answer. "Well, Ming-Ming was their "mascot". She was the super popular pop star with some incredible annoying songs, and they were played all the time. I though I was going insane." Leah begins to laugh and soon Tyson follows. "I know it sounds stupid, but it was really bad." "I can imagine," the girl manages to say before she burst into another fit of laughter.
"May the next competitors go to the beydish?" Jazzman shouts into the microphone, and Tyson and Leah notice that the next battle is going to be a tough one. Kai and Brooklyn had both gone to the dish and now they were staring fiercely at each other. Tyson pales. "Oh no, this isn't good. The battles between Kai and Brooklyn always end with Kai getting hurt. I don't know if I will be able to watch this one, as I'm not able to do anything for Kai. Please be careful, Kai," he thinks, being worried for his ex-teammate.
Leah notices how tense Tyson is, and she knows he's worried about Kai. It's so obvious. The girl turns her look back to the arena, and now she's studying Brooklyn. The redhead has a quite pretty face and he's looking so calm, so peaceful. "I bet he's animal friendly. He's looking so careless, and with so pretty features…" she thinks.
"Why didn't you tell me that Brooklyn was so pretty?" Leah asks Tyson while she still has her eyes fixed on the redhead. Tyson is surprised by the question and stutters: "Huh? Uhm, I don't know. Do you think he's pretty?"
A blush appears on the girl's cheeks. "Well, yeah…" she admits, and she blushes even more.
"One, two and three! Let it rip!"
The match starts with a collision between Zeus and Dranzer, and both blades are thrown backwards, into the wall. Pieces of the dish are flying in every direction, and the audience is gasping. Such start of a beybattle is always good entertainment, but both Tyson and Leah is concerned by the power that is released.
"Do you think Kai will be able to pull this one off?" Leah asks. "I don't know," the bluenette whispers. "I hope so, he has beaten Brooklyn before, and I'm sure…" Tyson stops when one of Zeus' attacks hits Kai. "Kai!" he shouts and tries to see what's happening down in the arena. When the cloud of dust disappears, he sees Kai who is still standing.
A bit relaxed, he sits down again, not taking his eyes from Kai. He knows that the dual haired boy doesn't go down that easily, and he's right. Kai goes on an attack that hits Brooklyn's blade perfectly and the crowd is cheering. "Yes, Kai. That's the way!" Tyson thinks, and in a sudden moment, Kai's looking up and his eyes meet Tyson's.
Tyson is struck by the sight of all the emotions in the crimson eyes. It's like he's sad, angry and concerned at the same time. "Kai…" the bluenette whispers, and his eyes show sadness, a sadness Kai knows too well. It's the sadness that appeared in Tyson every time Kai left him.
The moment is over and Kai is focused on the game, like he should. Brooklyn is still calm and avoids Kai's attacks. Soon, the dual haired teen is exhausted, but still standing while his opponent just stares at him. Tyson can't hear what the red haired teen says, but he bets it's something insulting, and he has a bad feeling. Something's not right.
"What's wrong, Tyson?" Leah asks, looking confused at her teammate. "I have a bad feeling about this match," the bluenette whispers in concern. "Auch, that must have hurt," Jazzman shouts, and Tyson quickly look down at the arena, and he gasps. Down by the dish lays Kai, flat on his stomach and he's not moving.
"No…" Tyson silently screams and like so many others he just stares at the scene. After a minute, Kai's moving, and he lifts himself up on his knees. "Kai, you have to take it easy! I don't want you to be hurt. Don't you know how much it hurts me to see you like this?" He's looking at Brooklyn with a smirk on his face.
Tyson is able to understand the next five words that are coming from his love's mouth by reading his lips: "Is that all you got?" A painful feeling is floating around in the bluenette's body, it's like something is taken away from him. He wants to stop the match before Kai gets too exhausted and hurt, but sadly, he can't. All he can do is to watch and pray for his love.
"Wow, Brooklyn's not holding anything back. Poor Kai." Ray exclaims while looking at his ex-teammate. Kai's looking tired, and he's barely able to stand up.
"I think Brooklyn is gonna win this one, but if Kai concentrates more, maybe he will do a comeback, though I'm pretty sure this one's over," Mariah says, a bit sad.
Lee nods in agreement and he ads: "I'm not sure if Kai has any power left to fight back. Just look at him, even I would have won if I had to battle him in this condition."
"You're saying it like you're bad at blading, Lee. You can't say that!" Ray states and looks hard at his teammate, missing the sudden attack Zeus did, making Dranzer wobble and Kai suddenly finds himself with cuts down his left arm, and blood is coming from them.
"NO, Kai!" Tyson screams and the look on his face is horrifying. His eyes are filled with fear, his body is tense and at the same time he's trembling. Seeing his love bleeding like that is terrible, not to mention painfully. And yet he stands up again to face Brooklyn. Tyson admires Kai's determination, but he also fears that it will make Kai suffer even more.
It's no one to stop him… Even Tala can't make Kai forfeit the match; it's not an option. The dual haired blader is alone in the battle, but inside he knows that he his friends are with him. Especially Tyson, who always has been with there for him. Even now, after the betrayal, Tyson's here and cheering for him; what's wrong with that boy?
Kai doesn't know the answer, but he feels a little happy to know that the bluenette still cares. If that's what he does.
Another ruthless attack from Zeus hits Dranzer, this time with full power. Light blends the audience while they hear a crash-like sound. When the light fades, Brooklyn seems shocked by the fact that Kai's still standing, but he quickly calms himself down.
"Just like the last battle," Tyson whispers from his seat and stares blankly at the two bladers. "Didn't Kai win the last battle they fought?" Leah asks. "Yeah… But I'm not so sure he will win this time." A tear runs down his cheek. "It's too late. Brooklyn will crush him."
A horrified expression appears on the brown haired girl's face. "Tyson! Don't say that! He can still win." "How Leah? How?" Tyson says with a sad voice, and his eyes are filled with bitterness. "I can't stand this anymore! To see him suffer and getting hurt. You don't know how painfully it is!" he cries, trembling.
Kai tries his best to avoid Brooklyn's attacks, but it's difficult. His reflexes are getting slower because of his damages. He's bleeding from every cut he has gotten during the match, and that's a lot. Pain fills his body and Kai's on the edge to a collapse, but he knows he can't give up. He has to be strong. He can't show weakness, especially not in front of Tyson. Sometimes he attacks, but as him, Dranzer's weak.
"How long can you stand this, Kai? Why are you still in this battle? You know you're just hurting yourself, and I don't want you to be hurt. Please, why can't you just stop now?"
Tears are streaming down Tyson's face as he watches Kai collapse. It happens in slow motion; first he falls down on his knees and then the upper body reaches the floor. At the same time, Dranzer is pushed out the dish and lands next to the unconscious boy.
"Kai!" Tyson shouts in panic and the rest of the Blitzkrieg Boys are running to Kai, each of them with scared expression on their faces. Blood is lying in ponds around his body, and some of the wounds are still bleeding.
"No… I… Kai!"

A/N: I felt horrible for writing this, poor Kai o_O
Well, I think this one is one of my better chapters, maybe the best so far, but I'd like your opinion too! Review?
