Tyson lay in a hospital surrounded by his friends and Grandpa but Kai was nowhere to be seen. Tyson's parents were currently in jail and being charged with child abuse and many other things. The doctor walked in.

"So doctor how is he?" Tyson's Grandpa asked, the doctor sighed.

"He has 3 broken ribs, and two which are fractured. Also a bone in his arm is fractured. He has a slight concussion from being hit in the head numerous times. He also has various amounts of bruising going on."

"Will he be alright?" the doctor cast a look toward Tyson.

"I would prefer it if he woke up," the doctor looked at his clip board, "I have other patients to check on. I will be back later to check on his condition." Everyone nodded and watched him leave.

"Come on we need to go home, he'll be fine. The doctor will call us if anything happens," Tyson's Grandpa spoke up, "you kids need some rest. Now come on I'll take you home."

"But," Max protested.

"He doesn't need his friends tired when he gets up. You'll feel better once you get a good night's rest." They all nodded and followed Tyson's Grandpa out. A shadow slipped into the room behind them. Ray turned around.

"Huh?"

"Come on Ray," he starred at the room for another moment before turning and leaving.

"Coming," he ran to catch up with them. Kai watched them step into the elevator before turning his attention to Tyson. Sitting in the chair he looked Tyson over.

"God you look like shit," Tyson moaned and opened his eyes.

"Nice to see you to Kai."

"You're awake," Kai said surprisingly, Tyson nodded, "but…" Tyson turned away.

"I didn't want to see their stares," Kai chuckled.

"Some excuses," Tyson shrugged his shoulders and looked back. "Well now that I've seen you better I need to get going," he went to get up but something snagged his jacket sleeve.

"Please don't go," Tyson pleaded.

"It's almost time for visiting hours to end and I sure as hell didn't sign in," Tyson gave him the puppy dog look; Kai sighed. "I told you I wasn't going to do this again."

"But that was when I wasn't hurt," Tyson simply started, Kai glared at him, "please."

"God Dammit stop whining and move over," Tyson nodded and moved over enough for Kai to climb up in the bed with him. "Come here," Kai's arms encircled Tyson and pulled him close.

"I thought…"

"Shut up and go to sleep," Tyson smiled and closed his eyes; soon he was fast asleep soon followed by Kai. A young nurse looked in and smiled. She grabbed the knob and shut the door.

"Hey wake up," Kai was gently shaken awake.

"Huh," he opened his eyes and met a nurse's face.

"Come on I need to get you out of here before visiting hours start," he nodded and slowly got up. He gave Tyson's hand a squeeze before following her out. "You two are cute together, are you?"

"No, we're not," the nurse smiled, stepping in front of him she stopped and leaned over.

"Stop being so macho and love him, he seems to trust you a lot," Kai snorted.

"Well, he shouldn't," the nurse glared.

"Well then I think you'd better make up your mind," she stood up, "or else."

"What …" she grabbed his arm and drug him to the stairs.

"This will lead you to the street, hurry up the next nurse is coming," Kai nodded and rushed down the stairs. She walked over to Tyson's room and looked in. "you poor boy, I hope you can get through to him before he destroys everything around him," she shut the door; something glittered in Tyson's hand.

"Kai," Tyson mumbled, he could hear people talking excitedly around him.

"What did he say?"

"It sounded like Kai."

"Nah, it couldn't be."

"Hey little dude, how do you feel?" Tyson opened his eyes and looked around. The spot next to him was empty, "Tyson?"

"I'm okay just tired," he slowly stated, closing his eyes.

"Well we'll leave you alone, get some rest," his Grandpa patted his good arm.

"Yeah Tyson you need to get better, we've got a tournament to win."

"Max!"

"What?"

"Never mind, get well Tyson," Kenny dragged Max out of the room.

"Take as long as you need, don't rush things, get well soon though," Ray waved as he left.

"Be good little dude, see you later, get some rest," Tyson nodded and watched his Grandpa leave. Lifted his hand he smiled, his bit piece lay glittering in the sunlight.

"I'll get better soon enough for the tournament, I promise you guys that."

A week later.

"Ah come on guys, I'm not crippled," Kenny poked Tyson in the side and Tyson winced.

"Sure you aren't," Kenny smiled, getting ready to poke him again. Tyson skidded out of his reach and pouted.

"Let's go Tyson," a voice spoke up behind them.

"Kai?!" Tyson turned around and smiled.

"So what do we owe the pleasure of seeing you?" Ray seethed not liking Kai here one bit. Kai stepped up and pointed to Tyson's stomach.

"You are getting way out of shape and we have a tournament to go to in a little over three weeks. You have probably not been practicing either," Kai stated.

"I've tired, I really have but they won't let me. I've tried so many times to sneak away but they won't let me out of their sites," Kai smirked and turned around.

"Let's go," Tyson nodded and started to follow him.

"Tyson?"

"I'll be okay, but guys I really do need to practice. I'll be fine so stop worryi9ng," Tyson ran after Kai.

A taxi pulled to a stop outside of a log cabin. Getting out it drove away.

"So, um," Tyson looked around. "Why are we here."

"To beyblade, I thought you might want somewhere they can't interrupt us," Tyson nodded and followed Kai.

"Um Kai," Tyson started, Kai stopped and cast him a look.

"Yes?"

"Thank you for giving me back Dragoon."

"What, how did you?" Tyson smiled.

"I noticed him missing after you dropped me when I went to open the door," Tyson trailed off.

"Tyson?" Tyson's head snapped up and a smile was present on his face.

"Come on let's get started."

"Go Dragoon, come on," a dark blue blade hit the light blue one sending it out of the ring into Tyson's hand.

"Come on Tyson, quit fooling around and get your act together and beyblade right," Kai snapped, "if I had known you were going to get this bad I would've come sooner."

"Sorry," Tyson mumbled reading his blade, "alright let's go."

Flash

"You little ungrateful shit."

Tyson shook his head and let his blade fly, "come on Dragoon."

Flash

"Where's that blade of yours, boy."

Tyson again shook his head. Kai cast him a look, "I'm fine," Kai shrugged and turned his attention back to the battle.

Flash

"You little shit, if you ever try that again."

Tyson whimpered and grabbed his head.

"Tyson?"

Flash

"Tyson our slut for a kid, you better stay away from that boy or else."

Tyson flinched away from Kai's touch.

"Tyson," Kai grabbed Tyson's shoulders and shook him hard. "Snap out of it," it slowly started to rain. Tyson blinked and looked around. "Ty…" Tyson launched himself toward Kai and started to cry.

"Please make them stop, please make them stop," Kai's eyes widened.

"Come on let's get you inside," he made a slight detour and grabbed the two still spinning blades. It started to rain harder as he hurried toward the cabin.

"This seems awful familiar," Kai said trying to get Tyson out of his wet clothes.

"I'm sorry," Tyson whispered.

"No it's okay," Kai finished and placed a blanket he had found around Tyson. He went over to the fireplace and slowly got a fire going, he took his shirt off and hung it up. He also hung Tyson's clothes next to his. "Come here and sit by the fire, it'll get you warm," Tyson continued to sit where he was, "Ty?" Kai walked over to him. Tyson looked up at him.

"Why are being so nice to me?"

"I…" Kai trailed off.

"Do you…" Kai caught the jest of Tyson's sentence.

"Yes okay."

"Kai?"

"Yes I love you so much, that whenever I see you I either want to kill you or kiss you," Tyson blushed and ducked his head.

"You love me?"

"I…" Kai nodded, "come on let's get you warmed up, don't need you catching a cold," Kai helped Tyson stand and steered him toward the fire. Sitting him down he sat behind Tyson.

"We could… um… share the blanket, it would be warmer," a blushing Tyson spoke. Kai chuckled at his innocence.

"Go to sleep Ty."

"There you go again," Kai slowly wrapped his arms around Tyson.

"Huh?"

"You called me Ty."

"Oh, I won't do it again."

"No, no, no I don't mind, I… like it," Kai quietly laughed.

"Ok Ty, now go to sleep," Tyson nodded and closed his eyes.

"Kai?" Tyson whispered.

"Hm."

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I love you too," Tyson whispered as he fell asleep. Kai felt giddy until it dawned on him. What would his Grandfather say?

Tyson awoke to the sounds of someone rummaging around in the kitchen.

"Kai?"

"In here trying to find something edible in this kitchen," Tyson slowly got up, making sure the blanket was secure around him. He headed for where the sounds were coming from. Stepping into the kitchen, he found Kai rummaging in a cabinet.

"Hey," Kai waved and continued to do what he was doing, "find anything?"

"Yeah," Kai came out with a bag," drinks though are going to be water."

"That's okay, um do you need any help?" Kai shook his head.

"No, I can fix breakfast."

"Oh ok, I'm going to see if my clothes are dry," Kai nodded and watched Tyson walk out of the kitchen. Tyson touched his clothed and found them dry. Dropping his blanket he quickly got dressed. Grabbing Kai's shirt, he headed back to the kitchen. "Are we going to train today," Kai nodded and set a plate of toast on the table and a plate of cooked Spam. A pitcher of water already was resting there.

"About all I could find for breakfast" Tyson handed Kai his shirt that slipped it on. Sitting down they quickly ate. Putting their plates in sink, grabbing their blades they headed outside.

"Come on Tyson concentrate," Kai snapped.

"I am," Dranzer hit Dragoon hard making him flinch, Dragoon, "go Dragoon," Dragoon flew toward Dranzer. "Attack."

Flash

Wham, "where's your blade?"

Dragoon slowed down and looked back at Tyson, who shook his head. " Sorry buddy, let's go." The two creatures began to battle. Kai watched Tyson closely.

"Let's give our beast a rest," Tyson nodded and recalled Dragoon. His bladed jumped to his hand. He starred at it with a blank look on his face.

"Ty?" Kai walked over to Tyson.

Crash, he winced, "where is it?" more crashing sounds followed.

"Ty?" Kai reached out for Tyson.

Flash

"If we ever find him touching you again…" laughter followed.

Tyson flinched away from Kai's touch.

"Tyson!" Tyson snapped out of his faze and starred at Kai, who looked between hurt and pissed off.

"I…"

"Let's go inside and talk," Tyson numbly followed Kai into the cabin. Closing the door he turned around and faced a now very pissed off Kai. "What the hell aren't you telling me," Tyson winched.

"Nothing," Kai walked over to him backing him into the door.

"Well there is more than nothing, what happened after I dropped you off?" Tyson slowly started to speak.

"They grabbed me… and started yelling at me," Tyson choked, "then they started to beat… me," Kai wrapped his arms around Tyson. Kai stayed quite and his grip tightened. "After that they went rummaging through the house looking for my blade. Saying that when they got hold of it they would… would…"

"What would they do?"

"They said they would destroy it," Kai kissed Tyson's temple.

"What else did they do?"

"I… I…" Kai kiss trailed downward.

"It's alright, I wont ask you anymore questions," Tyson opened his eyes and poured a million thanks you into his gaze. "May I…?" Tyson nodded.

"Please don't stop," Kai nodded and maneuvered Tyson toward the bedroom. The door closed behind them.

 Tyson awoke feeling more refreshed than ever. A pair of arms were wrapped around him and a body lay stretched up against him. He could he hear Kai's steady breathing which told him that Kai was still asleep. His stomach grumbled reminding him that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning.

"Tell what ever that is to shut up," Kai growled into Tyson's back. Tyson chuckled.

"I can't help it if I'm hungry," Kai growled again. Tyson stomach grumbled.

"Fine, I'll fix some food," Kai let him go.

"Aw, don't get up, ignore me," rolling over Kai searched for his pants.

"Now where are my pants," he looked around, "there they are," he slipped them on. Standing up he stretched. Tyson rolled over burying his head in Kai's pillow. Chuckling, Kai made his way to the kitchen. Looking around he tried to find something edible. His stomach growled, reminding him that he also was hungry.

"Find anything?" Kai jumped and whirled around. Tyson was wearing only his boxers.

"Yeah, sit down. I thought you were going to stay in bed, " Tyson shook his head and plopped down in one of the chairs.

"No I was hungry and," Tyson smiled evilly, "couldn't miss a chance to see you half dressed." Kai blushed slightly and suddenly found what he was doing very interesting. Tyson started laughing but a thought crossed his mind and he sobered up instantly. Kai cast him a glance.

"Ty?" Tyson's eyes looked up and met Kai.

"What are we going to do now," Kai shrugged. Sitting the food on the table he sat down.

"Act like nothing happened," Kai started to eat, Tyson hung his head.

"Oh," Kai smiled.

"Silly, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop caring," Tyson's head snapped back up and Kai graced him with a rare smile.

"You mean it?" Kai nodded, Tyson smiled and started eating.

'Do you remember the way to my room?" Tyson blushed and nodded, "I didn't mean for that but if…" Tyson blushed harder, " if you need me you're welcome to come anytime, ok?" Tyson nodded and smiled. They finished their breakfast in silence.

A taxicab pulled to a stop outside the Kinomiya (1) resident. Tyson stepped out and shut the door. The taxi drove away. Tyson thought back to what Kai had said to him before he had left.

Flash

Tyson turned back to Kai and was given a mind-blowing kiss. Kai stepped away all to quickly.

"If I don't stop, you'll never go home," Tyson silently laughed. "Will you be okay?" Tyson sighed and smiled.

"I feel much better than I have in a long time."

"That's good," Kai stepped up and gave him a quick hug just as a taxi pulled up.

"Love ya," Tyson pulled away and got into the cab. Kai nodded and mouthed something back to him. Tyson grinned widely and finally told the driver where to go.

Sighing he started for his house, knowing he was signing his death warrant. Opening the door he stepped in. closing it, he called for his Grandpa who appeared instantly.

"Tyson where have you been?" Tyson was put into a bone-crushing hug.

"Can't breath," he gasped and his Grandpa let him go.

"Sorry but where were you."

"I… I can't tell you."

"Tyson," his Grandpa said sternly.

"What is wrong I was safe where I was, ok. No one knew where we were."

"We? Who was with you," Tyson looked away, "tell me now," Tyson flinched.

"I was with Kai, we were practicing and I kind of had a couple of break downs." His Grandpa's gaze softened.

"Well as long as you were safe?"

"Grandpa what is wrong?"

"Your parents, some how they got away form the police," Tyson's eyes widened.

"You mean they are still out there," his Grandpa nodded sadly then smiled.

"But don't worry we have the police looking for them. They will be caught okay. So stop worrying," Tyson smiled grimly back at his Grandpa.
