Chapter Five
The Past and the Future
Kai left his nightmare and somehow, with Dranzer's help, he located Tyson. Tyson was leaning on a railing overlooking a beach. He was fully grown now and he seemed to be staring at the ocean.
Kai rushed to Tyson's side. The blunette's eyes were strangely unfocused.
"Tyson, we have to leave."
No answer.
"Come ON Tyson we can't stay!" Kai urged, remembered the frosty darkness of his nightmare. There's no way in Hell, he's leaving Tyson to his nightmare.
Kai shook Tyson a couple of times, but to no avail. Tyson refused to move, or even notice that Kai was there.
/Dranzer, Tyson won't listen to me!!/
//Listen very carefully, Kai. You must rid the source of the nightmare. Whatever is troubling Tyson, you must somehow rid the fear in his mind//
/How am I supposed to do that?/
//I don't know!! You figure it out!! I can't always do the thinking for you//
Kai grumbled under his breath. So much for help.
Kai looked over the railing. Tyson did not move. Kai focused his eyes downwards and suppressed a cry of anguish.
Just below him and Tyson were themselves again. The nightmare was replaying a memory from the past.
*Flashback*
Tyson skipped along the beach, his smile practically brightening the sunset. Kai just smiled at his lover's apparent joy.
It was times like these he felt truly complete.
"Come on, Kai, play!! Stop being Mr. Sour-puss captain and enjoy yourself for once!"
Kai chuckled, "Ok. Let's play."
Tyson only had time to blink when Kai tackled him to the ground. He then, kissed Tyson passionately. Tyson returned the kiss with full force of emotion and love.
They went on for some time until their physical needs demanded they have air.
*Next time,* Kai thought silently to himself, *Bring Oxygen tanks*
Tyson let out a sigh of contentment and snuggled up to Kai, who pulled his lover into a possessive embrace.
"Kai?" Tyson spoke as they both watched the waves lapping the sand.
"Hn?"
"Do you remember the
time you left? To join the Demolition Boys?"
"I haven't forgotten Tyson." Kai said, gently reprimanding him.
Tyson blushed. Kai found it very attractive. However, he noticed that his Koi was struggling with something.
"What's the matter, Koi?" Kai whispered in Tyson's ear, making him shiver in delight.
Tyson looked at the horizon. The sun had vanished, leaving the sky in vibrant shades of red, orange and yellow.
"You'll never leave me Kai, will you? Grandpa is gone…and it's taken me some time, but I managed to pull myself out of that depression. But if you left…I don't know, Kai…I don't know." Kai saw that Tyson was shaking visibly. He was scared of being alone.
Kai smiled and hugged the boy closer to him, "I love you Tyson. No power on Earth, let alone Heaven or Hell will ever change that. I will never leave you on my own free will."
Tyson smiled gratefully and the couple exchanged another passionate kiss as day turned to night.
*End Flashback*
Kai cried like he never had before. He remembered all the moments they shared together, each one more priceless then the next. And he destroyed all that. He never knew. He thought he was protecting Tyson. But he only ended up hurting him.
He looked at Tyson. His eyes were no longer unfocused and he, too, was crying his heart out.
I can't cling onto the past. And neither can you.
But we can make a better future.
Tyson curled up into a ball, burying his head in his knees.
//Kai, please hurry!! The nightmare is getting stronger!!//
Kai didn't hear her. All his attention was focused on a certain blue-haired teen. Without hesitation, he enveloped Tyson in a bone crushing hug.
"I'm so sorry Tyson. I make mistakes, like everyone else and I can't change that now that's in the past, but," he cupped Tyson's face, staring intently into his misty deep blue eyes, "But I can change the future. You loved me before, will you love me now?"
Tyson stopped crying, his breath coming out slowly. Kai buried his face in Tyson's hair, half wanting to hear what Tyson said next, the other half dreading the answer.
"Kai. I love you and will always love you. But I can't go back to way things were before, until I'm," He gazed deeply into Kai's claret eyes, "ready."
Kai captured Tyson's lips in a kiss.
I'll wait forever, Tyson.
Kai, I love you, but why?
Dranzer waited till the lovers were done. Then she pulled Kai out of Tyson's dream.
After this, he's going to want a looong sleep.

Kenny rushed at full speed to Max and Ray's apartment, only to find that he left Dizzi at home. He immediately rushed back screaming, "DIZZI!!" and when he returned to their apartment, he fainted.
Needless to say, Max and Ray both sweatdropped a lot.
When Kenny recovered, Ray told all about his conversation with Lee. Kenny nodded sagely all throughout the explanation.
"Dizzi? Do you know what kind of powers Tyson will get?"
Dizzi was unusually silent, then said, "Let me tell you about the Inherited again."
"Before the Sealing of the Myths, there was a great war between bit-beasts and when all was lost, a human came and healed us and stopped the war. All bit-beasts hold a great regard for this human, so it put down that when a human and bit-beast bonded and treats his bit-beast like an equal, then the bit-beast willingly shares his powers with his Master."
"We know that Dizzi," Max said, "But that still doesn't tell us what's going to happen to Tyson."
"Let me put it this way. Do you guys ever have trouble controlling your powers?"
"They work when we need them too, you know that Dizzi."
"Exactly. You have no real control over them, with the exception of Kai. But because Dragoon is storm…his powers will be wild and unpredictable. It would able to destroy small towns and even cities, if not controlled."
"It's that powerful?"
Dizzi nodded (how she did while being stuck in a laptop is beyond me, ^^)
"Is that why you don't see many storm bit-beasts?" Ray asked.
"Right. They usually sealed in swords or gems."
"Dragoon came from his ancestors' sword…" Max said faintly, his cerulean eyes wide in horror.
Ray held his love closer as he saw Max shaking with fear and horror.
"Is there anything we can do?" Max pleaded, "Anything?"
Kenny said it for all of them, "There's nothing we can do but wait."

Tyson slowly opened his eyes. Everything seemed so white…
*No, duh Tyson, have you forgotten where you are?*
Oh yeah…I'm in the hospital.
Tyson turned to the side to see Kai.
Sleeping like a baby, Tyson thought smiling.
He looked so peaceful when he's sleeping. So kawaii…
Tyson blushed. He was acting like some lovesick cheerleader. Get a grip Tyson, he scolded mentally.
//Master Tyson? Are you awake?//
/I'm awake Dragoon/
//Glad to hear it. I was talking to Dranzer//
/Really? What did she say?/
//She liked your dream. The first time she's ever entered the world of food. And she wanted to know//
/What?/
//What are Pixi Stix?//[1]
Tyson blushed again. He could only recall bits and pieces of the dream, but he remembered the feeling of deep longing.
Mine or Kai's? He thought, looking at Kai.
Maybe both.
Kai stirred a bit and opened one eye. He jumped, "You're awake!" and toppled over.
Tyson laughed. Kai was on the floor, very dazed and confused. However he quickly recovered his face a ripe tomato.
Tyson was still laughing, "That—was…*snort* so funny…"
Kai smirked and captured Tyson's lips into a deep kiss. This time, Tyson did not protest and melted into the kiss. Suddenly he pulled away, unable to make eye contact.
Kai understood what the younger teen was going through, so he let it be.
You're mine, Tyson. I'll get you back, no matter what.
- - - - - - - - -- - -- - -
Kai yawned, back in his mansion. Ray said he'll take over watching Tyson for some time and Kai was too tired to make a decent protest.
*DING!*
Kai blinked. Nobody knew he was here, except for Ray. Who could it be?
He approached the door and opened it. Outside was an envelope.
Slightly curious and apprehensive, he opened it.
It said;
Dear Kai.
You have been invited to Ray Kon and Max Tate's engagement party. It would be our greatest pleasure if you attended the party at 6:00 pm Monday.
PS: Don't EVEN think of bunking.
PPS: TYSON will be there. ^_^
Kai smirked. He had an engagement party to attend.
ME: Alright!! They made up!! (Kinda)
CT and CK dancing in happiness.
