Chapter 6: No Answers
Tyson couldn't believe what he was seeing. He stood the staring at Kai kissing someone else. He couldn't see whether Kai was liking it or not, but he sure as hell wasn't trying to stop it.
"Fuck." He said softly.
Kai's eyes snapped open and Derek's head turned and smirked. "Beat it bitch. We're busy."
Tyson turned and ran as fast as he could away from that place. Kai could only watch him go.
Derek returned his attention to Kia. "Now where were we?"
Kai summoned up strength he didn't know he had and started after Tyson.
Derek watched him go with a look of detached amusement on his face.
"He'll be back. I made sure of that." He took out a small bag of pills and smiled.
____________________________________________________
Tyson turned the street corner and headed down a hill towards...Well he didn't know where he was going exactly, but anywhere had to be better than back there. He slumped on to a bench and leant back. He stared at the sky, mind racing.
//All those times he told me he loved me. Was he lying?// Tyson thought back to the moment when Kai had first said those words. They had just escaped certain death and were in a different dimension(1) true, but Kai wouldn't have said it if he didn't mean it, right? Tyson shook his head, trying to get rid of the doubt, but every time he closed his eyes he saw Kai and that guy. What was he supposed to think? His chest ached and his eyes stung but no tears came. Tyson wasn't sure if he was keeping them back or if he just couldn't.
He heard soft footsteps behind him and he knew who it was. He didn't leave but he didn't acknowledge the other teens presence either. The two boys sat in silence for a time and then Kai spoke up.
"Can you forgive me?"
It was a simple question and it should have had a simple answer, but that was the one thing Tyson couldn't give.
"I don't know."
____________________________________________________
Max ran, faster than he could ever remember running before, but unfortunately his pursuer was just as fast, driven by a passion greater than just the need to escape. A hand grabbed Max's arm and dragged him to a halt.
"Max." The word was pleading and desperate, but Max could not even bring himself to look at the boy in front of him. The hand let go of him. Rei looked down at the young blond with hope that he would look back, but it was in vane. Rei sighed and spoke, his voice level but with an under currant of panic.
"You have to listen to me Max. Kia, she tricked me. I never meant for that to happen and I would take it back in an instant. You have to believe me."
Max finally looked up at him with shimmering eyes. "I wish I could Rei, but...for now."
Rei nodded slowly. "I..understand, but at least come back to the room. Sean's still.."
Max nodded and began to walk away before Rei had even finished speaking. The taller teen followed, head bowed.
Sean cursed lightly under his breath. "Damn it. Fucking Rei."
He watched the two go with a malicious growl. "I'll get you Max. If I cant have you, no one can!!"
____________________________________________________
Kai looked at Tyson in shock. "You..don't..ha"
Tyson cut him off. "I don't think I could ever hate you Kai, but forgive you? I really don't know. Have you been lying to me for months? I don't know the answer to that either. I don't want to doubt you, but right now..I have to think."
Kai looked at him sadly. //Have I just blown the bet thing that's ever happened to me?// The question echoed around him mind.
The teens walked in silence towards the hotel. Kai glanced at Tyson who's eyes were glued to the pavement, hand shoved in his pockets. There was none of the usual affectionate gestures towards each other from either party. This was hardly surprising, thought Kai grimly, but this was by far the worst dispute to date. In the past there had been yelling, shouting, the occasional throwing of household items, but in the end there had always been understanding and reconciliation. This time there was a conspicuous lack of yelling, and no understanding from either of them. With out that, speculated Kai, they were doomed.
Similar thoughts were whirling through Tyson's head, only his logic was slightly more optimistic. Understanding would come eventually and love was a bond that could never be broken. But what if Kai had been lying to him. Tyson pushed those thoughts from his head. Kai loved him and that was that.
//*But what about that kiss? That passionate, lingering kiss. You know, that one that he was giving to the other guy?*//
//Quiet// Tyson growled at the nagging voice in his head. He assumed that was his pessimism.
They reached their room and came in to see Max sitting on the couch sobbing quietly to himself. Tyson rushed to his friend's side. He glanced up at Kai who was very uncomfortable in these situations.
"Hey Kai, go check on Rei." Said Tyson softly looking down at Max. "Oh and.." He added as Kai began to move away and stared at the floor. "I'll um, I'll sleep out here tonight. O.K?"
Kai nodded and looked at Tyson intently, but the dark haired boy never looked up. He eventually moved away to check on their friend.
That night, not one of the Blade Breakers got a good nights sleep.
Tyson rolled over on the floor and stared at his bedroom door. He desperately wanted to crawl into bed with Kai and forget everything, but he ran the risk of getting his heart broken again, and he wasn't sure he was willing to take it
Rei and Max did nothing but stare at the ceiling all night, thinking about their earlier conversation and regretting it word by word.
Kai on the other hand spent the night tossing and turning. Every time he closed his eyes he saw Derek, felt the kiss. He felt like he needed to kiss him again. It was the last thing he wanted to do, but he needed to. To feel that rush again. He was disgusted with himself and spent the night cursing himself and Derek.
____________________________________________________
"Well that was a big bust!" stated Sean from his seat on the floor.
Kia tossed her hair "Give it time. I seriously doubt their going to want to spend much time together at the moment. Just watch and wait. Timing is everything."
Derek entered and sat at the table. "That may be well and good, but I have a better plan. Guaranteed."
"Oh and what is that exactly?"
Derek held up the bag of pills and Kia's widened. She snatched the bag off Derek and looked at the label.
She laughed loudly. "You crafty bastard. I thought you couldn't get these any more!"
"I have connections."
Sean and Jen looked between the two in confusion. "What? What is it?" They both asked.
Kia smirked "Lovers Delight."
She sighed at the blank look on both their faces. "It's a drug. It was big on the streets a few years back but the dealers pulled it 'cause it was killing people. It's used during kissing sex or any other similar activity involving the exchange of body fluids. It highly addictive, and withdrawal even after one hit can be fatal."
Jen looked at Derek "You trying to kill you self?"
Kia laughed again. "That's the beauty of it. It's not the user that gets the buzz, its their partner and its them that gets addicted. That's why dealers pulled it. Pimps weren't happy 'cause it was killing cliental and bitches. The body count was high after that because people couldn't get any more but no more people got hooked. And you.." She looked at Derek " You've taken it haven't you? Now Kai wont be able to resist you, no matter what. I'm very impressed."
Sean and Jen looked at the two in shock. "But, what if he can't get to you and he dies?"
Derek shrugged "If I can have him.."
Sean nodded "I know what you mean. Care to share?"
Derek shook his head "Limited supply."
Sean scowled and Kia smirked "Oh don't worry I'm sure you can beat Max into liking you."
Sean growled and Jen stood up. "Shut it you two. The Blade Breakers first match is on tomorrow. Perfect time to separate them afterwards."
____________________________________________________
"Hey guys, I got back just in time." Kenny looked around the living room and frowned. The other four were very quiet and all sitting separately. Rei got up and explained quietly all that had happened.
Kenny was shocked and looked at his friends in concern "We should drop out. None of you are in any condition to fight." They all knew the suggestion was good and the probably should, but they were also adamant about competing, just to, for any other reason, keep them selves sane.
Tyson sat in the corner contemplating the up coming match and Kai of course. [What am I going to do Dragoon? What the hell is going on with us?]
Tyson closed his eyes as he heard the comforting sound of his bit beasts voice {Relax Tyson everything will work out. Kai loves you, I can feel it through Dranzer, just like she can feel your love for him through me. So just concentrate on the match.}
[Easy for you to say, you don't have a crazed rapist stalker and you boy friend kissing another guy!]
Unbeknownst to Tyson the other three teens were having almost identical conversations with their own bit beasts.
Kenny entered the room and surveyed his friend in pity. Each of them was going through hell, but there was nothing he could do for them right now. "Guy's it time."
All four rose and made their way down the corridor to the stadium. Kai stopped and fell behind slightly. He lent against the wall and swiped away sweat on his forehead.
//What the hell's wrong with me?//
Tyson glanced back in concern but kept walking, not wanting the distraction.
They were up against a rookie team and wouldn't have much trouble. Kai joined the team in the box as Max stepped up to the dish. His opponent was a young girl with purple hair and big brown eyes. They both launched their blades and the match started. Max wasn't really trying but was beating the girl anyway.
It shouldn't have gone on long but Max's mind was on a certain Chinese boy behind him. Suddenly Max heard shrill laughter and looked into the stands to see Kia grinning at Rei and swishing her long hair around.
Anger boiled up inside the young teen and his blade smashed up against the other sending it flying out of the dish, and as far as anyone could see, into orbit.
Rei's match went a similar way, his anger building to produce a swift and rather violent end to the match in the Blade Breakers favor.
The last match was inconsequential and Kai was scheduled to battle. Tyson looked at the older teen in concern. There was something wrong, even if the other couldn't see it, there was.
Tyson stood. "I'll go" He said simply.
Kai didn't argue and watched as Tyson won the shortest match in BBA history. It lasted barely a minute until the other bey blade flew out of the dish and landed some where in the stands. The team returned to their room, not even bothering to hang around and watch to see who qualified.
That night was turn out to be just as restless as the previous observed Tyson as he once again stared at his bedroom door listening to Max pretend to be asleep on the couch.
The door in question opened slowly and Kai came out heading for the bath room in the dark. Tyson got up quickly as he noticed the ruby eyed boy stumble and fall against the wall. He snapped on the light and knelt at Kai's side.
"What wrong?" He asked tersely as he swiped some hair off Kai's damp fore head. Kai could only moan in reply. Tyson banged on Rei's door and called for Max to get his butt off the couch.
"What's wrong with him?" Asked Rei crouching beside the two boys.
"I have no idea but he has the average temperature of a volcano. You put him in the bath and Max you come with me to get some ice."
He gripped Kai's hand fiercely "Don't go anywhere, you understand me?" He stared in to lidded red eyes and Kai's hand gripped his own. Tyson grabbed a bucket and sped out the door closely followed by Max.
He watched the ice tumble into the bucket, thoughts whirling once again around his head. Only this time it was //What if he isn't ok? What if he dies? I can loose him.//
{Calm down} Came Dragoons soothing voice.
[You try it!!] He replied angrily.
Dragoon didn't reply and Tyson slapped himself mentally. The bucket was full and he removed it from the slot. He turned to get the second from Max, to see Sean standing over Max's unconscious body. Tyson lunged forward with a shout at Sean but a large hand held him back, gripping his arm painfully. Tyson knew who it was and he knew how this was going to end up with no Kai to rescue him. Then blackness engulfed him.
Kai sat up suddenly, causing both Kenny and Rei to jump. "Tyson!!"
Rei put a hand on his shoulder "He'll be back in a second." Though he also had a sinking feeling in his stomach.
"No something's wrong." Said Kai urgently.
Kenny looked at Rei mouthing "Delusional" at him and then a rap sounded on the door. Rei opened it to no one. The hall way was dark and quiet. No Max, no Tyson, no stalkers. Something white caught his eye and he bent down to pick up a piece of paper.
Rei reappeared in the bathroom doorway looking pale.
Kenny frowned "What's wrong?"
Rei handed the paper to Kenny who scanned it and looked up at Rei in shock. "How do we know their not lying." "They may be lying about being able to help Kai, but..they have them."
Rei held up a chain with a ring in the end. He had given it to Max for his birthday a year ago and Max never took it off.
"Oh shit."
End chap.
