Chapter Two
Come home
'What did Rai mean I have to come home and soon?' Tyson asked him self as he sat on a plane bound for Japan, while looking at a picture of his old teammates.
The picture was taken before Tyson went on student exchange to Switzerland where he was going to study for two years. You see every once and a while a student is selected to go study over seas for two years, so they can learn another language and live in another culture, this time it was Tyson's turn.
Tyson sighed and looked out the window. It had been such along time that he had seen everybody especially Max. 'I remember what I had told Max before I left...
Flash Back
"I don't want you to go Tyson...I don't want you to leave, not when everything has been going so good," Max said giving Tyson a hug.
"Max listen to me," Tyson pried Max away from him. "Are you listening?"
Max nodded as he wiped away a stray tear.
"When I come back things will be better. We will move into together, we will be together forever and nothing will keep us apart," Tyson moved Max in for another hug.
"You really mean that Tyson?" Max asked still holding Tyson close.
Tyson nodded.
Max pulled away from Tyson and kissed his lover goodbye.
"Well I better go," Tyson said with a slight smile knowing if he didn't go now he would never leave.
End of Flash Back
"I still hold that promise to you Maxie," Tyson said to himself out loud.
"I'm sorry where you talking to me?" the person next to Tyson asked.
Tyson looked over to see a fair-haired man with bright green eyes looking at him.
"Hey I know who you are. You're the boy that won the world championship Bayblading competition."
"Um...yeah that would be me," Tyson said with an uneasy smile.
"Oh how rude of me, I'm Jason. Jason Maxamillion," the fair-haired man held out his hand for Tyson.
"Tyson Granger."
"Well Tyson Granger where are you headed?" "I'm actually heading home," Tyson told him with a sigh, as he wasn't sure what he was heading home to, as Rai's tone was a happy one.
"Well if your heading home why the unhappy attitude?" Jason asked as he noticed that the young blader didn't look excited to be going home to see his loved ones.
"No I'm not unhappy I'm just...just tired," Tyson said with a slight smile, as he didn't want to end up telling someone that he had just met his life story. "Maybe if I had a bit of a sleep I'll be happier."
"Do you want me to wake you when we are about to land?" Jason asked hoping that he didn't upset the blader.
"Yeah that would be great," Tyson said laying his head down on the back of the chair and going to a dreamless sleep.
Rai and Kai sat there in silence on there bed. Due the death of Max, Rai and Kai had moved in together so that they could help each other cope with the pain of the death.
Kai looked over to Rai who was sitting a little away from Kai looking at the blank wall in front of him. "Rai say something please?'
'Kai what would you like me to say?" Rai asked unsure what his slate-haired lover wanted.
Kai sighed and closed his eyes trying to think of something that he could do. He hated to see Rai like this, he hated to see him hurting all he wanted to do was try and get rid of the pain and get his Rai back. A tear ran down Kai's cheek as he thought that there was nothing that he could do to help his Rai.
Rai noticed the tear that had fallen from Kai's cheek. "K...Kai."
Kai looked over to Rai and slightly smiled. "Yeah?"
"Are you crying?" Rai asked as he moved closer to his team captain.
"What me? The Almighty Kai crying you have got to be kidding right," Kai said with a slight smile as more tears begin to form in his eyes as he looked at his lover's eyes.
"Kai what's wrong?" Rai asked forgetting about his problems and focusing on Kai.
Kai stood up and away from Rai as he wiped his tears away from his eyes then turned to look at Rai. "You want to know what's wrong with me?"
Rai nodded and watched Kai carefully.
"You! That is what is wrong with me...the problem is that I love you and I can't leave you...I love you so much that it kills me to see you like this and it kills me even more that I can't help you through this pain. I know Max died and I wish that I could change that for you and Tyson, but I can't that isn't within my power." Kai kneeled down in front of Rai. "But if you will let me, I will be there beside your side all the way."
"Of course I will," Rai said launching himself onto Kai for a hug. "I love you Kai."
"I love you too, that is why I don't want you to do this to yourself Rai, don't you understand that? Don't you understand that if you leave me I will just turn back into that person I once was. You changed me Rai, you made me into the person that I am today," Kai said as he kissed the Chinese's boys forehead.
"I understand Kai," Rai looked away from Kai then back to him again. "I will try."
A smile can to Kai's face when he heard those words 'I will try.' It was like music to his ears. "That's great Rai, as you know we have to be strong for Tyson and Kenny."
